I've been to the other KRISP location but this was my first time to this new location! It's kind of in a business park area. I was headed somewhere but wanted to swing by to get a sea salt foam jasmine iced tea, so I ordered online. Their online ordering takes longer than it should. It gave me a wait time of about 20 minutes...compared to Starbucks, which usually is a 4-7 minute wait. When I showed up 10 minutes after I ordered, hoping it might have been an overestimate, it turns out that I still had to wait about 10 more minutes, so it really did take 20. There were about 5 other people there waiting for drinks, so it was moderately busy but wasn't a huge line. The inside is fairly small and only has a couple seating options, which I think is intentional since most people are going to get to-go drinks in the business park area. I ordered my jasmine tea less sweet and with extra sea salt cream, and it was amazing! They really piled on the cream and it was so rich and delicious, quite a treat! The "less sweet" version was still very sweet, in my opinion. I'm someone who typically drinks black coffee and plain tea, so maybe my taste buds are accustomed to less sugar, but I think it would be nice if they could offer an even lower sugar option like 25%. But overall I was really happy with my drink and it's a nice way to treat myself - as long as I plan ahead with advance online ordering! read more

I am so tired of the diluted, sour bean water that crafty coffee shops make and call it "cold brew" and charge me $6... Then I was introduced to this place, and the only wish I have is for it to be closer to my house!! When I ask for cold brew, I want it to be so strong that when it's poured into a clear cup, the brew is so dark that light does not pass through. When I take a sip, I want it to be potent that it takes me to another universe where I can see sound. It was so strong that even after adding more ice later in the day, its strength didn't change at all. It took me the whole day to finish it. I guess that's how I want my cold brew to be, and I think this place is IT. Loved it. 5 stars. read more

Stopped by here looking for something fresh and lighter and it definitely hit the spot. Everything tasted clean and actually fresh, not just "healthy" for the sake of it. Portions were solid and filling without feeling heavy afterward. I like that there are a lot of customizable options, so it's easy to find something whether you're trying to eat clean or just want a good meal. Service was friendly and quick, and the place itself was clean and chill. Good spot if you're in the area and want something fresh that still tastes good. Would come back. read more

They have a pandan matcha that's well balanced and smooth, with the earthy bitterness of the matcha complemented by a subtle pandan sweetness. The pandan isn't overpowering, but comes through with every sip which adds a coconut vanilla-like finish. This KRISP location is in a business complex with plenty of parking. There are a few seats inside, a shaded patio out front, and a shared courtyard in the back that's common space with the surrounding businesses. The menu is simple to read, the kiosk is intuitive, and there are plenty of unique options to choose from. read more

Unfortunately no longer the best matcha...I don't know if they changed their vendor but the matcha was more diluted/watery the last few times I came, so it's been 2-3 months since I stopped going here. So sad as they used to be my go-to spot :-( read more

The newer Krisp location out of the two in Irvine & it did not disappoint! I haven't gone to this location and haven't been to Krisp in a while so I was looking forward to checking this place out. There's minimal indoor seating because the place is pretty small, but there is outdoor seating! When you enter, on your right there's a kiosk. There's only one so it might be rough when there's a long line or if people who takes a long time at the kiosk. Maybe that's why they have a display on the side where you can scan a QR code and order ahead. I got their blueberry matcha and it's so good; the blueberry flavor is very strong without overpowering the matcha. My bf tried one of their new drinks, the black sesame latte. It came out a bit bitter, even with normal/regular sweet but it wasn't grainy, which was nice. Drinks came out pretty quickly! read more

KRISP Fresh Living - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Let's start with the good: plenty of parking available. Sitting outside with shade and handicap friendly. The drinks seem unique and they have a seasonal menu that seems yummy. Right now they have the Oreo Latte. It sounds like it would be heavenly. Free wifi and 2 small laptop size tables inside to work and 1 larger table to set up show to work or eat. Tea and candles are available for sale as well. Nice little touch. The bad... First the barista was multitasking while I was attempting to take my order. I had some questions about the flavors since it was my first time here. She seemed bothered when I ask about the Oreo drink- she said "well it has Oreos" and well I am speechless lol The register to order is right next to the door so there was a line and people couldn't come in or out without having to break the line to order. Forget it if you are handicap. No menu was available to check out while waiting in line. There was only 1 menu available for food and drinks and it was by the register so I had to wait until it was my turn to read and decide what to order. A little menu elsewhere wouldn't hurt us customers. My order came in sections, 9minutes for food, by minute 12 I got the iced matcha for my daughter and by minute 16 I finally got my drink but only it was wrong I ordered a hot and she gave me an iced drink. My orders were to go. $40dlls wasted. Never coming back. read more

I was looking for a healthy spot close to the airport. Only one machine to place orders, no assistance by humans. When you're rushing with a line of 4+ people behind you, mistakes happen, and they won't fix them. My drink came out cold instead of hot and they refused to make it right. The service and food variety was very limited. Unfortunately, I will not be a returning customer. read more

Solid spot. We ordered a strawberry matcha, a blueberry matcha, and a caprese avocado toast. Their matcha is a little on the sweeter side for me. The blueberry matcha here is different from other places. They describe it as having a fruity pebbles flavor and I definitely tasted that. It was pretty good just wish it was less sweet. Didn't get to take a picture of our caprese avocado toast because we ate it so fast, but it was a really big serving and worth the price. It does take some time to make the food so I would recommend ordering ahead read more

Such a great coffee shop with lots of options! I love the strawberry matcha & the white macadamia nut oat milk latte! both drinks are super flavorful and have that rich matcha/espresso taste! The Alton location has more limited hours than the location on Michelson, and is smaller so it may take some time for your drink to be made, but it's worth the wait! Parking lot out front, plenty of parking. Limited seating, but perfect for getting your drinks to-go! read more

A whole latte love... My favorite spot to get some caffeine. I've tried White Macadamia Oat, Banana Latte, Blueberry Matcha, Butter Rum Toffee and Pandan Matcha; all were good! My top two favorites would be Pandan Matcha and White Macadamia Oat iced. Plenty of parking in the morning and nice and earthy decor inside. Staff is nice and patient. They have quiches, croissants, and muffins too. You can order online, just let them know you did when you come so you don't stand there waiting for your already made drink. read more

The space was clean and inviting, and the service was great--every staff member was super sweet and friendly. The drinks and food took a little while, but they were busy, so it was understandable. The espresso was great! I especially loved the white macadamia nut latte--so yummy! The honey lavender latte was okay. As for the food, it was just okay. I wasn't a fan of the egg style in my burrito. It looked like a fried egg, but the yolk had a chalky, overcooked texture--almost like it had been boiled. The burrito itself was also really messy to eat. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee if I were in the area, but I'd skip the food next time. Still gave 5 stars cause service and lattes were that good. read more

This spot was pretty easy to find and had lots of parking available. They had a nice amount of outdoor seating with big sun shades and a nice cool breeze which was a contrast to the weather. There was a signage propped on the ground that directs you into the shop as well as some window design too. There's only a few seats inside. They have their AC on blast, so you might need a light jacket. The interior of the shop is simple, modern, and on theme (black, white, green). Clean and organized inside. I got their 20oz, Iced Honey Lavender Latte ~ $6.50! Omg, this pricing for a 20 oz is absolutely wild. My drink did have lots of ice and that's not a bad thing. It didn't melt as I took time to drink it. The notes of orange blossom honey and French lavender syrup were barely there sadly. Maybe the workers were too nervous they'd make it taste like soap? I would have liked to see a little more of a lavender oomph to the drink!! If I were to rate it based on the drink I got I'd give them a 2/5, but if I ignore that, then...overall, it was a solid 4.7/5! I'd come back to try their other drinks like the banana one or their butterscotch I think? The prices were really good! My brother ordered the 20 oz, Iced Pandan Matcha Latte. This was surprisingly delicious as it's coming from a matcha hater (aka me). The pandan flavor was super prominent but you could still taste the matcha. It wasn't clumpy, nice and thoroughly mixed. Delicious, but to my brother he said he would have liked it a little less sweetened. Overall, you can't go wrong coming here for solid drinks at KRISP Fresh Living! I'd recommend stopping by and ordering or using their website to order ahead as that was super handy. read more

Quaint little Coffee shop located in a business center. The interior is small, definitely made for coffee on the go. But they do have limited seating for those who would like to sit down and enjoy their cup either inside or on their patio. The staff is busy and fast with their service but they still find time to be friendly and strike an engaging conversation. I ordered the Butter Rum toffee which tasted rich and smooth. read more

My new favorite place to get pandan matcha! I arrived around 9:20am. The cafe is small and there wasn't many people there. I was able to order and get my drinks in a short amount of time. I like that the cafe has seats with tables attached. I ordered the pandan matcha and banana latte for my friend. The pandan was already mixed in the drink so you can drink it right away. It was so good! The pandan wasn't too sweet and overpowering; you can tell they use real pandan. My friend enjoyed her banana latte. I'm definitely coming back here if I want more pandan matcha. If you're in the Irvine Spectrum area definitely come to KRISP! :) read more

I got a Just like a date smoothie (tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch w/almond butter), signature matcha latte & a blueberry matcha latte. The signature matcha & blueberry matcha were both delicious.

I really want to like this place. Their menu is interesting, their workers are friendly and their aesthetic is appealing. It takes longer to make the drinks but with order ahead it's not a big deal All that being said, I can't make this part of my rotation because too many of their drinks do not allow for adjusting sugar levels. I don't know if it's because they're premade or if they're worried about the integrity. As someone who consistently gets less sweet, I am fully aware that my drink may not taste that good. I am a reasonable person, I would never blame a business for a drink adjustment I made. I've tried maybe 5-6 drinks from KRISP and most of them I couldn't finish because of the sweetness level. read more

Their quiche was delicious! The matcha tasted OK, a little too earthy for my taste. Service was a little slow. There's always room to sit and enjoy your drink there but most prefer to-go. read more

KRISP Fresh Living - Quiche and Signature Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

A small cafe located in a business complex. There is a good amount of seating outside to enjoy your drinks/foods and chat with friends. You order on your own at the ipad/kiosk. There was no line to order when I came, but the drink took a little bit of time to come out, about 15 minutes which is pretty long for a single drink. - black sesame latte: 7.8/10. I love how strong the black sesame and coffee flavor was. Not diluted at all, very flavorful. I also love the bits of black sesame. They didn't have the option to adjust the sweetness, but luckily it wasn't too sweet. I still would have preferred less sugar. Something I noticed was that their straws are very weak/flimsy. It was difficult to mix up my drink without the straw bending and folding. Overall, my drink was very delicious and I will be back to try more drinks and maybe even the food, but I hope they take into consideration these little kinks! read more

This tiny coffee cafe is located in a business plaza and primarily serves the people working in the area or folks wanting to grab some coffee and food to-go. There are only four seats inside and four tables on an outdoor patio. I visited late on a weekday morning. I chose a sweet drink, a hot butter rum toffee latte, and also picked a cinnamon roll (in the shape of a heart) from the pastry case. While my latte was made and the pastry warmed up, I noted that two chairs were taken by people enjoying coffee and food (avocado toast, breakfast burrito) and one person was sitting at a small table taking up the other two spots with her laptop and backpack. Her parents never taught her common courtesy. I took my pastry and coffee and sat outside despite the cold weather. The cinnamon roll was perfection; great cinnamon flavor throughout the soft roll and an addictive frosting on top. The butter rum toffee latte was sweet, but not overly so, with the complex flavors of its name. Perfection for anyone who likes espresso drinks on the sweeter side; I loved it. The barista made the most perfect latte art rosetta on top (he was quite proud of it!) but I ruined it by putting a lid on during my trek outside so didn't get a photo. read more

Butter Rum Toffee Latte, iced with whole milk: 5/5, yum!! Deliciously flavored and perfectly sweetened, this satisfied my craving for an iced coffee before running errands. Still tasted great after the ice melted, too. Mushroom Spinach Quiche: 4/5, tasty! Had meaty mushrooms and a nice cheese pull. Would make a good breakfast or snack. Roasted Veggies and Jalapeno: 5/5, delicious! Mixed with a sharp cheese and has a slight kick from the jalapenos. I was surprised that I preferred this one to the mushroom spinach. My jaw dropped at the prices of the small quiches, which was $8 each. However, they were just so balanced in flavors and textures. Savory, soft, moist eggy base with a lovely, thin crust. The staff heated them up and packaged them with utensils. Expensive but worth trying. In addition to the limited seating inside, there is patio seating in front of the building. The area appears to be very corporate, but parking was free. read more

I'm very happy that this location of KRISP exists because the "main" location is on the other side of Irvine for me (20+ minute drive...). This one is located in a business center and has a much smaller venue, less workers, etc. Keep this in mind, as busier days could mean you'll have to wait a 20+ minutes for your beverage/food. Anyways, I am obsessed with the drinks here! They bring some pretty unique flavors that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere: banana latte, butter rum toffee, nutella madeline. But the #1 drink that keeps me coming back? Their pandan matcha. This was a combination I did not expect to like, but I guess the grassy flavor of pandan enhances the grassy flavor of matcha? I don't know; don't ask me. I'm just a white boy that loves matcha. But anyway, if you like that grassy matcha flavor, you'll love this drink (frankly you shouldn't be getting matchas if you don't like that taste profile). It's ceremonial grade too, if that matters to you. I think the one downside is that some of their drinks can't be adjusted for sugar level. I personally think the pandan matcha is the perfect amount of sweet, but I can understand the disappointment if you want that adjusted (I believe it's because they use rock sugar? don't quote me on that). Their burritos are very tasty as well, but quite heavy! One burrito is enough for both my partner and I. read more

KRISP is a little hidden gem but so glad I found it (it literally feels hidden). I ordered the white macadamia oat and loved it - so good! It has become one of my favorites.

Krisp offers fresh food and beverage items with great quality ingredients. There's ample amount of seating and free WiFi which makes it a great place to study or catch up with friends. I usually order the matcha or blueberry matcha. The powders are pre-sweetened though so there is not ability to adjust sweetness. If you order a hot latte there will be a cute latte art! (We accidentally smooshed ours while taking it to our table) They do have multiple milk options! I also enjoy their selection of teas. The butterscotch one is delicious!! The açaí bowls are pretty solid here and the avo toast has a good balance of flavor. read more

It's honestly nice to try some new places in 2025! I wanted to try a place that had some good matcha. I can definitely say the matcha here is of wonderful quality. I ended up having two drinks here-- the signature matcha latte (hot) and the strawberry matcha. Both drinks were tasty but I actually did like the signature matcha more! They have some really good variety as far as drinks go. I tried my friend's Pandan matcha as well and I thought it was really tasty. The drinks are QUALITY. 10/10. I also got the Caprese Avocado Toast and my personal feedback is-- avocado, tomato, basil-- everything was fresh, but the bread choice is not a good one. In my personal opinion, I found the toast slice to be rather thick and hard to cut with the plastic utensils they give. A thick slab, if you will. I think a sourdough would probably go better with this toast. Also, another thing worth noting is that this location has less toast options than their Michelson location so be aware of that! I probably would not order the toast again because of the bread selection though. If you like a thick, less toasted kind of wheat toast...then maybe it's for you. It's located in kind of an office plaza, pretty close to Irvine Spectrum as well with a good bit of parking. The inside is clean and cute. It's small and so there isn't a ton of seating. The WiFi is pretty good though. There are 4 tables outside as well. The staff is friendly and this place does get busy with a lot of orders, kind of in waves. That being said, the orders do come out kind of slow. Maybe because they make really yummy drinks but it's just definitely not a place to order from if you are in a hurry. Or maybe try to order ahead online if you ARE in a hurry. Bottom line is-- I love the drinks. They are very high quality! I would come back for their matcha. They just take a little time. I probably would order online next time, pick up my drink, and go. :) read more

Real ones know that KRISP is home to some of the best matcha you can get in Irvine and beyond! They already have one location in Irvine and recently opened up this new location. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, this location does have a smaller interior, but it has a couple seats inside and a cozy vibe. There is also a little patio area outside with seats as well. For their menu, they have a great selection of different espressos, specialty lattes, matchas, smoothies, and pastries. I stopped by for a morning coffee run and got the Signature Matcha Latte, Blueberry Matcha Latte, and Banana Latte. My drink was the Blueberry Matcha Latte and it tasted great with the right balance of sweetness. Overall, I am glad that KRISP opened up another location to continue exposing the community to their amazing drinks! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Whether it's this location or their other one, make sure you put this spot on your list for your next matcha/coffee run! read more

I have to say -- the matcha at Krisp Fresh Living is so good. It's smooth, earthy, and perfectly balanced -- not too bitter, not too sweet. You can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. I love that it gives a clean boost of energy without the crash you get from coffee. The presentation is always on point, and the staff takes their time to make it right every single time. I usually get mine with oat milk and light sweetener -- it's creamy, refreshing, and easily one of my favorite drinks in Chino Hills. If you're a matcha lover (or even just curious to try a good one), Krisp Fresh Living does it right. read more

Went to Krisp twice this week! Once during the week before work, then in the morning on a Saturday. Definitely coming back but would probably give myself more time on the weekday or just go on the weekend when I'm not pressed for time. Could be that the weekday I went, someone called off. The worker that day was a bit behind but he was still managing to greet everyone and make the food and drinks well! Still so calm, friendly, and informed everyone of the delay. Love the white macadamia oat latte! Got it both times. My husband got the vanilla latte both times. We tried the morning burrito, ciabatta, and turkey avocado croissant. Of the three, the croissant was my favorite! I love how it is fresh avocado versus packaged guac and how they add sprouts. read more

This is my first time at their new location and I thought it was so cute! The shop is smaller than the other location but the overall complex is a lot more modern.

This is my first time also getting the pandan matcha and I thought it was pretty good! I might have to give it another try before I can say I'd prefer it over their blueberry matcha though. 3/5 1/5 As for the caprese avocado toast, definitely NOT my favorite and wouldn't recommend anyone to order it. Based on the appearance, texture, and taste it didn't even taste like fresh avocado. It was literally like store bought plain guacamole LOL. FOR $12.25 TOO?!?

KRISP Fresh Living - Pandan Matcha (ICED ONLY) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

As someone who never understood the hype around matcha, Krisp completely changed the game for me. I've had plenty of average matcha drinks in the past, so I didn't consider myself a fan until I came here. Their matcha is rich, earthy, and perfectly balanced. It's not overly sweet or watered down like other places. This is the first matcha drink I actually crave. That said, consistency can vary a little. Some days it's creamier than I'd like, but I learned from one of the baristas that matcha quality can shift depending on the season, which I appreciate them explaining. My average wait time is usually around 10-25 minutes, so don't come if you're in a rush. It's also on the pricier side, but honestly? Worth it. I'll keep coming back because no other matcha spot has come close. read more

I got a cold brew with sugar-free vanilla syrup I thought it had a really nice flavor. It was rich and dark and deep. She put the right amount of syrup in it. I'm glad they offered sugar-free options. The barista was very kind and thorough. She answered my questions about the menu and also where the bathroom was I will say that I was frustrated with the amount of time that I had to wait. She was the only person working in there. I waited about 20 minutes for a cold brew. It was pretty ridiculous but likely not her fault. It was on the pricey side. the portion was typical. They accepted contactless payment. it had a small interior with minimal seating. There was additional seating available outside. the decor was simple. overall, I had a really good experience, but I do have to dock points for the long wait time. there are so many other menu items that I would love to try and review if they invited me back ! read more

This cafe is in a convenient location for the nearby apartments and has cute outdoor seating. The shop itself is small and geared toward quick coffee runs, and while they offer food just like their other location, this one feels like a "lite" version. I was curious to try this cafe because I've heard good things about their other location on Michelson. I wanted to try some of their more unique offerings like the banana latte, but unfortunately this can't be made non-dairy because the banana milk itself contains dairy. I ordered the seasonal black sesame latte with soy milk, which seemed like a synergistic pairing, but unfortunately the whole thing came out rather bland, without particular punch from the coffee, sesame, or steamed (soy) milk. The drink is moderately sweet, but inconsistently so, and the sesame settles in a way that leaves a grittier finish - especially for someone who likes sucking down the last of the latte foam. Also, the latte ended up being $9 for a 16 oz, including the extra $1 for nondairy milk. The drip brew coffee was quite tart, perhaps over extracted, and undercut by the plasticky smell of the lid. But perhaps biased as a fan of medium to darker roasts. Overall, I was not impressed with the quality for what they charged. While I'm still somewhat curious about the matcha and food options, I'm compelled to try them at the Michelson location instead. read more
