    Blueberry Matcha & Strawberry Matcha
    Rishi C.

    Stopped by for a quick bite and some matcha after seeing so many reviews, but sadly don't plan to return. KRISP is an interesting place in that it was very busy, but I didn't see a single person content with their order, and multiple people coming to the counter to address issues they had with their order (myself included). The staff are nice, but they definitely seemed overwhelmed and on their back foot trying to keep up with everyone. They use a digital kiosk for ordering which can be convenient, but is frustrating to use when you find out that the things you ordered are out of stock after you've paid and waited for the items (which happened to me). The shop itself has indoor and outdoor seating, but the layout makes the entrance get congested because you're picking up your order where people are entering which isn't ideal. On the food and beverage front, we tried a bunch of stuff: Blueberry Matcha and Strawberry Matcha: The blueberry matcha is extremely sweet (they said it's their sweetest matcha), and the strawberry matcha isn't far behind that. My biggest issue is their matches are all pre-sweetened, so you can't even adjust the sweetness because it's in their matcha already. The term "organic ceremonial grade Uji matcha" should have never been used for pre-sweetened matcha like this, because it was a disgrace to the term. KRISP Breakfast Burrito: These burritos are pre-made and delivered by a third party and then nuked in a microwave before serving. It's the same thing you'd get at most other coffee shops (ie Alfred). The red salsa it comes with is great though, but the burrito is just fine considering what it is. Almond Croissant: oh man I really wanted to like this, especially since I saw how much almond filling they used. Unfortunately the filling was completely bland, so there wasn't much almond going on with this. Ham & Cheese Croissant: This was also bland, and looked like someone had stepped on it. Just a real sad state of affairs. Berry Orchard Açaí Bowl: Probably the best thing we got, but I hate how they serve it in one of those parfait cups because all the contents keeps spilling out as you eat it. I wish it was in an actual bowl so you can eat it without losing half the toppings to the ground. Overall, I don't see a reason to come back here, and really don't think it's worth the cost given the quality of everything. As others have said, there's a lot of solid options in the area that deserve your patronage over this place.

    Krisp Fresh Living is easily one of my favorite places to grab a drink whenever i'm in Irvine. I always get the blueberry matcha ($7.50) and it never disappoints. It's usually pretty busy, but they move fast and the service is always quick and efficient. I've tried most of their signature drinks and they're always delicious! Definitely a staple for me.

    After looking for some options for places to study I ended up choosing this place. It was pretty crowded on a Friday afternoon but I was able to snag a seat near window. There were a good amount of plugs so that I can charge my devices. The place was cute and the music wasn't too loud. Parking can get a bit hard since there's so many stores and not much parking. I got the blueberry matcha and I would say it was not bad, although not my favorite. The matcha was on the grassy side but the notes of blueberry were definitely there. I would be down to try their other drinks next time if I ever wanted to come back and study!

    I tried the pitaya bowl and it was just a typical açaí bowl for me. The staff is nice, and I like that they are pet friendly (inside too!) and have lots of seating options which is great!

    Really enjoyed my visit to this coffee shop! Ordering was super easy thanks to the screens, which show clear pictures and descriptions of each coffee -- a nice touch, especially if you like to know exactly what you're getting. Even though it was the weekend, service was fast and efficient. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and ready to help if you had any questions. I ordered a regular iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it was so good I drank it before I even left the parking lot. My friend got the black sesame latte, and that was also delicious -- definitely worth trying. We'll for sure be back!

    1.4.26- Strawberry Matcha
    Kim I.

    I've made it my goal to try the strawberry matcha at every new coffee spot I visit. Krisp, you nailed it. I loved the strawberry puree bottom, not too sweet and blended so well with the matcha. There's a kiosk at the front where you can order for yourself and a gal was there ready to help with any questions etc when it came to ordering. Service was quick, mind you it was still early enough that we weren't hit with so many people. There's plenty of seating, lighting is great, parking in this area can get crazy as there are many popular retails/restaurants, so I'd say come early! Looking forward to trying more of their other drinks, as they all look pretty enticing.

    I got a berry smoothie that I thought was really good! I ordered online and they had put my drink in the fridge to keep it cool. The only downside was that it was pricy but other than that love this place!

    White Macadamia oat latte, Blueberry Matcha
    Olivia Z.

    This place is honestly a 3.5!! The space is amazing for studying but my friend and I got here about 10 minutes after they opened so the parking wasn't bad and there were still a lot of available tables. They filled up pretty quick though with most tables being full around 10 AM. I got the blueberry matcha and my friend for the white macadamia oat latte. She really liked her drink and rated it highly but my blueberry matcha was a bit disappointing. There was no matcha flavor and it just tasted like a sweet blueberry milk. The drink wasn't bad. If I didn't know it was matcha, I was enjoy it as a sweet blueberry drink. I do want to come back to try their black sesame or honey cinnamon latte though! Maybe they just don't do matcha super well.

    White Macadamia Oat (Oat Milk Only)
    Risha S.

    KRISP always comes through with the strong flavors. I got an iced white macadamia seasonal latte and even after the ice started melting you can taste the macadamia. There isn't a lot of seating but if you come around opening you'll be able to have your pick of tables + parking is easier. They have free wifi and a cozy playlist - perfect for a study sesh!

    Butter Rum Toffee iced with Oat milk
    Heidi O.

    Do you remember those BUTTER RUM Lifesavers your Grandma used to give you? Or those BUTTER RUM stick candies at the drug store? Maybe I'm older than you but those were the best! Imagine those candies in a creamy coffee! I got an iced BUTTER RUM TOFFEE COFFEE and it was delicious. Reminded me of those candies. I can't wait to come back and have it again. I got mine with Oat Milk. YUMMY!

    White Macadamia Oat (Oat Milk Only)
    Vincent M.

    Krisp has been my go to coffee spot ever since I was a UCI student and it has never failed me in all the years I've been going! Parking can get tricky because the plaza gets busy depending on time of day. The inside is modern with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. There are 2 self order kiosks. Gets pretty busy in the morning and during lunch hour as it's surrounded by businesses. I appreciate that they have a sign that indicates anticipated wait times. Staff are always super friendly. White Macadamia Oat Latte 10/10 - I love this drink. I think the flavor combo goes really well together and theirs has the perfect balance of white chocolate and macadamia nut. Other places lean more towards one of the flavors, but Krisp does it right. It's definitely on the sweeter side which is my preference so keep that in mind if you don't like your drinks as sweet.

    sea salt coffee
    Sofia F.

    Words can't describe how good their sea salt coffee is. It is so good. Additionally, the place is a super good study spot. They are always playing super relaxing jazz music that puts me in a locked in mood. The workers are also super chill and don't bother you. Writing this review makes me want to go drive over right now.

    KRISP Morning Burrito
    Sydney O.

    I was excited to try the morning burrito but honestly I was so disappointed by it :( the burrito itself was toasted so the outside was warmed, but the inside was still so so cold. The tater tots tasted stale probably because it was premade. The green sauce that it came with was delicious I just wish the burrito was more fresh. Edit: The owner reached out and messaged trying to get my info for a refund but nothing has happened since I responded in over a week :(

    Could anyone tell me what coffee beans are used for the lattes? It is so good. Thanks.

    Hi Denise, we use a blend of Guatemala and Ethiopia coffee beans in our espresso drinks.

    Are we able to order a latte without any espresso? (sadly I can't even have decaf :( )

    Do they have decaf espresso available for the lattes?

    Yes, we have both regular and decaf espresso.

    Do you accept cash payments as well? I try not to rely on credit cards otherwise small spendings add up.

    They refused to accept cash even though it was exact with no change needed.

    Is your menu organic or only certain items?

    Not all of our items are organic, only certain items. If you like to find out more, you can email info@krispfreshliving.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can

    Do you sell Pistachio milk cartons?

    Do they cater?

    No, they don't cater!

For fruit, they also have apples and other seasonal options (pomegranate this time) aside from the standard strawberry/blueberry/banana, all which looked fresh. Their nut butters are THICK and natural, you can see it in the texture. For toppings, alongside the standard options they also had a lot of different types of dried fruit like mulberries, mango, peaches, etc. Powders are the standard options. Overall a decent acai spot with a spirulina twist and a variety of options. Pricing is slightly on the higher end and the bases are on the softer end, but would come back

I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

I will say that some of my favorite toppings were out of stock online, like the mulberries and cacao nibs. I remember they would always load me up on those and they were so good! I was craving acai about a week later and went to order again online, but those two toppings were still unavailable so I didn't end up ordering again. All in all, still love Earthbowl but I think the Lake Forest location still has the #1 spot in my heart. The sizes here have also gotten a little smaller and prices have gone up, but I get that a lot of time has passed. I'll definitely be waiting for those toppings to be restocked and if I'm at the Spectrum again, would love to give it a try again!
