    Interior, case with sandwiches

    - plenty of parking out front, it's situated within an apartment complex - it's compact inside and not too study/work friendly, though good for chatting - there was so much variety in the menu! It seems they introduce new flavors and drinks pretty often so that keeps things interesting - staff was super sweet! We went near closing but she was still accommodating and attentive (1) shizouka matcha (rich for +$1) - it was so bright and refreshing! The aftertaste of the matcha was creamy and almost fruity? It was very enjoyable. The 25% sweetness was perfect for me (2) double matcha: - a more indulgent drink with that cheesy matcha foam - it's slightly lighter in matcha flavor compared to the first drink but still tasty! - this matcha flavor profile is more mellow

    Excellent matcha!! Hidden between apartments and corporate buildings, you wouldn't expect to find quality matcha tucked away here. Service is fast and everything I'm looking for in searching for a legit matcha place Tried Guava matcha which was great because a lot place don't do them. Def recommend I would also recommend the Hojicha Extra points for having multiple options for Japanese matcha from different regions!

    I didn't expect to like this place, but the moment I turned my head and saw displays of Marukyu Koyamaen matcha, as well as seeing it being used in their kitchen, my eyes lit up. I knew that was a sign that their matcha was going to be legit. What I ordered: Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte DRINK: 8/10 I think next time I'm going to order a plain Iced Matcha Latte with no fixings. The Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte was good, but the strawberry tasted a bit too sweet and artificial for my liking (it's actual strawberry puree as the owner mentions below, which is worth mentioning). I could be wrong, but I think without the strawberry, the matcha itself would shine even more. SERVICE: 8/10 You order through the self-kiosks, and my drink came out really quickly. Serving was very straightforward and quick, which makes sense since this is more of an in-and-out kind of spot. AMBIANCE: 7/10 A cozy, tiny spot that's more suitable for grab-and-go. There are a few indoor seats, as well as some outdoor seating, but I'd probably come here more for the drinks to go than to hang out.

    1. I love the creamy texture of the matcha, and I can definitely taste the pistachio nuts! The sandwich was also well-crafted! 2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior is cozy! 3. The staff was friend and timely with my order! It was ready in about 10 mins! 4. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! There are few tables! 5. Garage parking and timed front parking spots are available! Note: I did not easily see a restroom available for customers! Photo: Honey Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Creamy Pistachio Matcha

    I had this place bookmarked for a while so was excited to finally try this spot given its good reviews. Upon entering, you see the place has very limited seating and limited outdoor parking as well. I got the Shizouka matcha latte. The staff asked if I wanted original, rich or extra rich, so I picked extra rich for more matcha flavor. It wasn't until check out did I realize it was an extra $2 charge! The staff didn't inform me of this so I ended up getting the original. This drink was quite disappointing. For a place that specialzies in their matcha, you can't taste much matcha flavor at all. A lot of people seem to be getting their flavored matchas so maybe that's what their better for, but just as an original matcha latte, it's a hard pass. I also tried the Sesame Cloudy hojicha which comes with a biscoff biscuit. This too, didn't have a good blend of flavors. The hojicha was not very strong and the sesame flavor was only in the powder they sprinkle on top, not the actual drink. I also tried their foods, the Unagi grain bowl and Garlic chicken breast bowl. They both came with a decent amount, had some veggies and corn. Flavor itself was good, not too outstanding and the unagi had quite a few tiny bones in there. For a place that had limited seating, if you came at a busy time, you'd really have nowhere to enjoy the food. Although majority of people come just for drinks, they also sat around to drink too. Given the quality of food and drinks, the price was also on the higher side. Overall, would probably pass if you're looking for a good drink spot given other better spots in Irvine.

    I've been on a blueberry matcha grind, as I still feel a plain simple matcha latte is best made at home. Mori's matcha definitely delivered on the flavor here. I noticed they prescoop their fruit puree/jam(?) in cups to store in their front display fridge. There is a kiosk to order or you can order at the front with a staff member if available. Several signs posted around the store with special flavors & an opportunity for free Assam milk tea with Yelp review. I got the blueberry matcha with 75% sweetness. I tried to sip the matcha first without mixing too much, but with 1 stir I could already taste the blueberry. A few stirs in, I was drinking a perfectly sweetened blueberry matcha, but I was concerned about the rest of the blueberry puree still at the bottom of the cup. Next time, I would further decrease the sweetness since the puree is quite sweet after mixing all the way. I needed to wait for the ice to melt a bit to balance this. Otherwise, the puree itself had bits of blueberry that I could taste, would get again!

    I was in the area and was looking for a coffee shop and this place popped up. I tried the banana cream matcha and it was so good!! Probably one of my favorite banana matcha's ever. They also use the marukyu koyamen matcha which is my favorite matcha too. It was easy to order as well. They had a kiosk to put in your order and I was able to get my drink in less than 5 minutes. If I'm ever in the area, I will definitely be going back for sure!!

    Cute spot, not much seating. Outside seems limited parking (they aren't too strict with the time limit i think), but there is a parking garage behind the cafe (not the ones across in the parking lot road but the opposite road from the street). Kiosk order. Pretty fast but more of a to go spot The matcha was not too sweet, got 50% and it was a bit grassy. They have lactose free whole milk and oat milk. The guava matcha is just guava jam with matcha, but balanced. They also have various rice bowls. The hojicha had a slight roast flavor and wasnt too grainy or strong in either way, the cream top is not super creamy and didnt come with too much. Overall like medium tier quality, decent portion. Come here for a casual local fix thats close by to the university

    Best cream top in OC? I said what I said We got the guava matcha latte and sesame cloudy hojicha. Not to mention how perfectly the cream top complemented the hojicha drink. Their matcha is so good too the bitterness is really there in the best way. Only downside: we got there around 9:30 and they opened at 8:30, but there were only a couple sandwiches left so come early if you want food too! MOri's is so close to UCI in Irvine, so save this for your next cafe run!

    Good quality. Speedy service. There's a kiosk to order at or you can talk to the staff. The matcha is a nice green but I'm not sure if it's better than other places in the area.

    ??? I don't understand how they remain 4.6 stars. Staff are not really professional and friendly. ( service is fast tho) Don't order coffee here . Coffee is terrible... I ordered iced latte and signature matcha latte but both are not good so I am not sure what is this place good for... latte is very watery . I don't think they use whole milk . Also for the matcha? I think they use very cheap syrup ....

    My favorite matcha spot in OC/Irvine!! Mori's matcha is such a gem located in irvine. Ever since I've tried their banana cream matcha, I couldn't stop thinking about it since. The ceremonial matcha is top grade and beautiful fragrance that makes you keep coming back for more. The store is small but the baristas are very friendly, quick and efficient. The wait time is little to none because they're so good at making them so efficiently. The quality is always so consistent. I've tried the banana cream matcha latte, pistachio cream matcha latte, sesame cloud Hojicha, and blueberry Hojicha. They're all so delicious but my favorite is their banana cream matcha, 100/10!! If you're a matcha fan, give them a try!! You will not disappoint.

    Taro Matcha
    Jonathan B.

    Yummy Taro Matcha! Swung by UCI and stopped at this spot on the way back home. Not too sweet which I like, only issue is the taro was stuck to the sides of the cup! I used a spoon to scrape the rest of it once I was done with my drink. Service was friendly and my drink was ready super quick. Outside seating was nice, although in the middle of some apartments or something. Just make sure to park in the structure, there's a lot more parking and it's free!

They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

Cassel Earth does provide one hour of parking validation for each item you buy. For example, I bought one drink and then went back and bought another, and they gave me two parking validation slips. There is a clean, spacious bathroom and tables outside as well! Other than the slight inconvenience of the paid parking, this has to be the best matcha and coffee in OC! Please try especially for a quick coffee/tea run (that way you can use your one hour parking validation!)!
