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!

MORIS @ IRVINE The crème brûlée swirl was AMAZING. My friends also enjoyed their more traditional matchas, noting that it wasn't super bitter. The drinks came out with really fast after ordering; however, not that much space if you come with a group.

Cold brew + Shizouka - Banana Cream Matcha 香蕉芝士抹茶

Pretty quick place. They have a good take around the banana matcha and it's very good. It certainly meets expectations and I love the banana chip they add on top. Cold brew was good as well.

Mori's is a cute place for small hangouts or just to stop by for a quick drink. I got the banana cream hojicha. I was really excited to try their new series as I saw so many people try out their matcha. I always love a good hojicha latte, I wouldn't say the banana flavoring is too strong compared to other banana drinks I've ordered in the past. I also like it when the hojicha has a stronger roasted flavor, and I didn't feel like I got it as much. However, my drink was still really good, and I'd definitely come back to try their other drinks. Service was limited and got my drink out somewhat quickly as it was busy the night I went. Warning : there's little parking available around the area so I wouldn't try to plan to sit down anywhere or stay for such a long time

Love this spot for matcha! They have a great selection of drinks and food items. You can choose your level of matcha strength as well how sweet. They have a kiosk as well as cashier to order and the drinks come out super quick. Not much seating but there is ample parking. Small but cute vibes.

I really enjoyed the banana cream hojicha. The banana flavor was not too overpowering and wasn't artificial tasting at all. My fiance got the guava matcha and he really enjoyed it. Their drinks are not super sweet. There are a bunch of signs about how their sweetener is just naturally less sweet but was kind of confusing to understand. I definitely want to return for the hojicha but also to try some of their food.

Taro Fresh Milk
Alayna B.

I see this place a lot and my friend and I were enticed by the menu so we came inside to order. It's a small quaint shop with a wide variety of food and drinks. I ordered the taro fresh milk and my friend ordered the house cold brew. I've tried many taro drinks and this was probably the worst one. It just tasted like milk but had the texture of coconut shavings. I attempted to mix everything on my drive, but it was all clumped at the bottom so I couldn't mix it until I got home. Even then it still wasn't good. I'm not sure if that's just how they handcraft their ube/taro but I personally was not a fan. For my friend, she said her house cold brew was alright, not too strong. Now that might have just been our experience so if you want to try for yourself, please do, but I will not be returning here personally.

I was fairly disappointed. They emphasized on their matcha but it wasn't even ceremonial. When we asked about the grade of their matcha, they didn't seem to know... The dessert was alright. Nothing spectacular. Appeared to be ideal for students to grab food and/drink and study.

The matcha drinks here are really strong so perfect for anyone who appreciates that true matcha flavor. I can't wait to try more of the drink menu besides the matcha double cream top I got. We also tried the spicy honey chicken which tasted light and healthy. I appreciated how many different veggies were in a single bowl. We parked in front in a 30 min spot. Food and drinks came out fast. Very limited but some seating

hojicha
Hailey S.

came here at opening for the hojicha latte. i like that they have lactose free milk options here! i got it extra creamy and at their recommended sweetness. given the color of the hojicha, i was expecting a very strong flavor but it was a little muted. i wish it had a bit more flavor but maybe it's also because i prefer a slightly sweeter hojicha. next time ill have to try it with a bit more sweetness. service was good, the girl was bombarded with a few orders at once but she was quick! inside has a couple of places to stand and wait for your drink but not really sit.

Funny enough, my partner and I saw a video of their matcha so we drove to try it! Their shop was very cute, tucked away by a few apartment buildings, making it a great place for an afternoon matcha. We saw a few people in there studying and some even relaxing with their pets! Their regular matcha had very good ceremonial matcha and was very high quality. I don't like my matcha too sweet and they made it exactly how I liked it. Their strawberry matcha latte was also very good! The standout for that drink was how delicious the strawberry puree is!

* drinks are made using marukyu koyamaen matcha, artisan tea, house-roasted coffee, and handcrafted taro and ube paste * most drinks are made using lactose-free milk (free to switch to regular whole milk) * my go-to's are their Taro Matcha Fresh Milk, Assam Black Milk Tea, and Banana Hojicha Oat Latte * menu also has options for oriental herbal desserts, kale green juice, sandwiches, salads, soba noodles, and energy grain bowls * one of my favorite cafes for fresh and healthy grab-and-go meals and dessert! 8.5/10

This place is more known for its food and now is leaning towards their drink menu. I happened to be in the area and wanted to give the matcha a try. They use Maru Koyamaen which is known for their high-quality matcha & lactose free milk without a charge. Already a plus in my books! The barista asked how strong I wanted my matcha and I chose "Rich" since it was the most popular. My drink had a beautiful rich green color that meets my matcha standards. Will be back to try the highest level of their matcha latte!

There was a line out the door when I arrived, but don't let that scare you away. The team kept things moving quickly and efficiently. I ordered the Matcha Pandan with less sweet, and it was absolutely delicious! The pandan flavor pairs well with the earthy notes of the matcha. Honestly, I cannot even imagine how sweet it would be without modifying the sweetness level. As someone who prefers non dairy drinks, I was happy to hear from the girl taking my order that it's made with oat milk. That creamy oat milk combined with the matcha and pandan made the drink smooth. This one is definitely going to be my new go to order!

But it does ultimately come down to the quality of the drinks. It's in a huge lot so you'll always find enough parking. Other than this encounter, I love their drinks. I just hate it when I'm loyal to a place and there is a lack of consistency, especially if I drive far for it.

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.

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!

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?
