    As someone who's a bit of a matcha latte snob and makes them at home regularly (plus has tried what…read morefeels like every matcha latte in San Diego), I do not say this lightly....Aroma has my absolute favorite matcha latte. The flavor is incredible, perfectly balanced, and the matcha-to-sweetness ratio is spot on. I order it exactly as it comes because there is truly nothing I would change. It's perfection. On top of that, the staff is always so kind and makes the experience even better. And yes... the hour to hour-and-a-half drive is 100% worth it every single time. Crossing my fingers (and saying a little prayer!) that Aroma opens a San Diego location someday because I would be there constantly.

Literally the perfect amount of sweetness and the matcha flavor is phenomenal. It is made so well so the hype is real for this place. Also the color of the matcha is so beautiful.   I came on a sunday around 3pm and the line was kind of long but went by quickly. I ordered my drink and waited less than 10 minutes. My friends got the matcha ube and matcha blueberry and they were all good. The ube flavor is not too strong but just enough to taste it. The blueberry matcha was on the sweeter side but that may be from the blueberry flavoring. I wish we had one in norcal and hope they expand here. For now I am happy that we have Da Vien. Also plenty of parking in this plaza which is great!

Also their matcha is also amazing! one thing that is not so perfect about this place is always busy, barely find table if you go there late. lol. there are outside tables too but outside tables are taken all most all the time. parking is decent,

    I'm a regular at Mugs and have always treated it as a reliable neighborhood spot to sit down with a…read moreproper latte. At $6.25 for a 16 oz, the baseline expectation is consistency--temperature, balance, and execution. Today's drink was, frankly, the worst I've had here--and it didn't even qualify as a latte. A proper latte should be built with espresso first, followed by well-textured milk at the correct temperature, integrated through a controlled pour. What I received instead tasted like espresso and milk were haphazardly combined, with no structure or technique behind it. The milk itself was improperly steamed--off-temperature and leaving a sour, flat, unpleasant finish. Even after a remake, the result was just as disappointing--tepid, flavorless, and simply wrong. No body, no balance, no indication that standard preparation methods were followed. This points to a broader issue. It's not the first time I've seen staff being trained on the job and inconsistent drinks being served as-is. At this price point, that's not acceptable. Customers come here expecting a dependable experience--whether it's early morning or late afternoon--and that consistency is part of what keeps people coming back. Right now, that trust is eroding. More attention to staff training, quality control, and basic execution is needed.

    This is my first time at moon goat Coffee Roasters in Irvine in a commercial complex by UCI. There…read moreis lots of parking out front. It is a Large coffee shop with a warm and cozy interior. I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations. I highly recommend Moon Goat Coffee Roasters.

They've got a self-ordering kiosk, or you can chat with someone at the register, which is what I did since I wanted some opinions on teas and coffee beans. They've got a pretty good selection of swag including loose leaf teas, various coffee beans, brewing gear, clothing, and other items. And they've got an RTE case too. Plenty of space inside and outside to sit, and the outside seating area has umbrellas, shade, and even a giant Jenga-style game. I asked for some recommendations for tea and was pretty let down. They only had 3 available, and 2 were ones I could find pretty much anywhere else (Earl Grey and...English Breakfast, I think?). I asked for any unique ones and they had a lavender one, which I ended up trying. It was okay, nothing special. Very floral. I also asked for recommendations for beans that are not too acidic and had the Darkside suggested because it's their darkest roast. I'm excited to grind it up and try it!

    Wall writer is awesome…read more Definitely get the pandan latte, but ask for it extra sweet because sometimes they don't put enough pandan syrup in it. Friendly staff, quick service, and a great place to work/study. The only downside is that the bathroom situation is a little weird because it is in a corporate park . but honestly, so worth it to go just make sure you park in the one hour parking!!

    This is an ok coffee shop... 5-Stars for atmosphere & 3-Stars for drinks. That gives it 4-Stars…read moreover all. There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?
