    Afternoon Tea Tier
    Annie L.

    Afternoon Tea is outdoors only, but should offer indoors to accommodate hot weather. The patio should have fans too. PARKING IS LIMITED!! Arrive early to find street parking! Food was just ok. Best sandwich was the tuna and the cream cheese & dill sandwich had no flavor to it. The scones were really good but they need to give more clotted cream. For the afternoon tea dessert, the macaron wasn't great, but vegan donut was good. Tea came out lukewarm, until hot water refills came out. Did not refill waters as often. $44 per person plus added 18% gratuity for groups under 7, is bit expensive for what you get.

    same drink different colors (after mixing)

    This was a very very cute place. I would want to come back and give it another try for tea time. Although the service was okay, I'm really docking points for the drinks. I got the lavender matcha and it just did not hit the spot. The lavender was way too faint and the matcha was not matcha-ing..... it was grass milk with a slight slight slight hint of lavender. I had to ask for a whole extra cup of lavender syrup on the side to adjust the sweetness. Plus my friend and I ordered the same thing but our drinks were two complete different colors... (yes, before I added my additional syrup)

    If you enjoy the fresh floral aroma then a Flight of Lavender drinks will enriched your day. Pastry was okay. Service was easy. Cute boutique in downtown Tustin. Street parking only. Inside seatings are reserved for high tea while outside settings are for cafe orders.

    Incredible! The moment I stepped into this place, my breath was taken away. I don't think I've ever come across a cafe that seamlessly integrates wonderful drinks and apparel in a manner that fills me with great joy. The service is kind and speedy. The drinks are Marvelous! The staff are on top of keeping things stocked and cleaned - that makes a huge difference and contributes significantly to the crisp, lovely aesthetic of it all. I initially came here to study and I found the boutique to be such a good de-stressor. God bless you all! The drinks that I got *blueberry chai - the best chai latte flavor I've ever had *lavender matcha *spanish latte *lavender latte

    They serve cocktails too

    If you love flowers, bows and lavender then this is the place. Not only can you get coffee, pastries and cocktails but you can also buy an outfit while you're at it inside the boutique. They have some outdoor seating and a patio you can rent for a party and they host special events there too. Bathrooms smelled like lavender and were very well maintained. Staff was very busy in the coffee shop but the girl in the clothing store was super friendly and nice which was appreciated. A very girlie girl cafe vibe which we sometimes need, a place to feel like you're in a story book.

    Tea Service
    Kris S.

    Had such a great experience during tea time! Sat on the patio and it was great. Did the tea service and it was yummy with great presentation. Enjoyed the selection of sweet and savory. It doesn't look like a lot of food but you still get full. It was fun to shop the store connected to it and ended up buying some cute clothes too! Very cutesy girly spot to try!

    Plates in the bathroom, cute!

    Love this place! Super cute and the Lavender Matcha and Watermelon cooler drinks I got during K-Beauty week was super delicious! They have a photo booth (there's a fee) and a cute retail store where they sell clothing and other items in the left side of the cafe. Theme is pastel colors with lavender and flowers. Perfect vibe for tea, food or high tea. They have a patio area too, perfect for when the weather is nice. Wish they had one closer to me, Tustin is a bit of a drive, but if you're in the area, definitely worth checking out. Parking looks limited though.

    been wanting to visit the tustin location bc of their cafe. i typically shop at their Hb store. pretty spacious store/cafe, they have an outdoor patio for their afternoon tea (by reservation) i ordered the banana cream top - espresso it was okay, couldnt really taste the espresso. service was okay. lots of staff but not really busy. lots of seating. lots of photo ops. they even have a photo booth. def will be back for afternoon tea! wearing ML floral dress ofc! parking: they have a few spaces in the back. i parked on the street. they are doing street construction on el camino real, so its a bit tore up.

    Blueberry Hojica and Pandan Coco Viet
    Vegas C.

    Morning Lavender is such a cute little gem right in the heart of Old Town Tustin. It's attached to a boutique, which makes it fun to browse while sipping your coffee, and the whole place has a super charming vibe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating plus a few photo-worthy spots. The menu is pretty limited food-wise with light bites, pastries, and croissants, but the drinks delivered. We tried the pandan viet coco and the blueberry hojicha, and both were delicious in totally different ways. Friendly counter service too, which always helps. Only real downside is parking can be a little annoying, but once you're there, it's a great spot to hang out and enjoy a coffee.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte with a side pastry of Cinnamon Pull Apart.
    Nicole S.

    Súper cute little cafe inside a boutique which I could appreciate. I ordered the strawberry matcha with a side of a cinnamon roll pastry. Baristas were very nice and helped me decided on a drink. I love how the cafe offers a tea party on the weekends so I'm hoping to get my girlfriends to try it out with me.

    Matcha flight
    Mary M.

    This is the cutest place ever! Great service. They have amazing Matcha lattes that are excellent quality and very flavorful not overly sweetened. My daughter and I went and each got a Matcha flight that contained one regular Matcha one lavender Matcha one rose Matcha and one strawberry Matcha. Each little glass was about 4 ounces. Cute presentation was $20. Other people were ordering food and it looked amazing! They also have a little clothing boutique.

    latte flight
    Karen N.

    this is a really cute afternoon tea spot that has been around forever. i was in the area and wanted to try out the coffee/milk tea flight, which had 4 small cups of different flavors: lavender latte, rose latte, rose black milk tea, and lavender black milk tea. honestly, they were all pretty sweet and had similar profiles despite being different flower flavors. the coffee was good and strong and balanced the sweetness well. nothing special that i would get again, but definitely a fun way to sample different flavors in one try! the cafe itself is really cute and decorated with a coquette vibe. there is a connecting clothing store under the same brand, and i would have definitely looked through them if i had more time because all of the clothes looked really cute.

    Pretty drinks!

    Ask the Community - Morning Lavender Cafe

    Is there a vegetarian option for the afternoon tea service?

    Supriya - Yes we do. Please see out menu online. https://www.morninglavendercafe.com/afternoon-tea-service Thank you

    Hi will you be having a Christmas tea this season?

    They will be! I asked last time I was there, few weeks ago. I believe it's around Dec 20th.

    How do I find info for the holiday/special tea service? Came on 10/11 & waitress said you have a special Halloween tea & special Xmas tea, but since online reservations are only a month out, I don't see anything about either (menu/tea offerings)?

    https://www.morninglavendercafe.com/afternoon-tea-service Hopefully this link is helpful! Otherwise… 

    Hi I have friend with allergies are you guys able to modify her meal set for afternoon tea?

    Hello! We offer vegetarian options, but unfortunately, we do not offer gluten- or dairy-free options.

    Where am I supposed to make reservations? I'm on the Yelp page on my desktop and there's no link related to making a reservation and the website says reservations can only be made on Yelp but yet there's nowhere on Yelp either

    It's up did you see it!?

    Hi which teas can be made with no sugar?

    All our teas can be made with no sugar or different levels!

    Is this establishment cashless?

    Correct, they do not accept cash.

    Do they have air conditioning?

    Inside the shop/boutique/to-go service, there is air conditioning. Where they do their tea service, it is outdoors & shaded.

    Do the sandwiches contain egg or dairy?

    On my visits they've had four or five sandwich fillings. Egg salad is obvious for eggs. Cucumber and salmon are on top of cream cheese. The chicken salad - I'm not sure, but a few in our party ordered all 4 in their personal sampler to be chicken… 

    Do you make gluten-free scones?

    I don't think they do (but I maybe wrong) ,but they do have a Banana Nut bread that is Gluten-free.

    Are flight still offered?

    I believe both the Matcha and coffee flights are still offered. Highly recommend the matcha flight!!

    Hello, how may I register to be notified if there are any cancellations in May for a tea time reservation for 3?

    If you go to our Yelp page on your desktop and try to find a reservation for a specific date and time, look for a link to be notified if someone cancels! Keep in mind this is only viewable on a desktop, not from your phone.… 

    Do any of their menu items contain porcine (pork) gelatin?

    Hello! None of our items contains pork or gelatin!

    Are there options for decaf lattes? Does Morning Lavender make Decaf Lavender Lattes?

    Hello! Yes, our lavender, rose, frosted mint, and other lattes can be made decaf.

    What's the max capacity?

    Hello! For a private tea party, our max is 35 guests. For a private after-hours event, our max is 50.

    Anyone know how to get on the text waitlist?

    For our waitlist, if you go to our Yelp page on your desktop and try to find a reservation for a specific date and time, look for a link to be notified if someone cancels! Keep in mind this is only viewable on a desktop, not from your phone.

    Is there anyone I can bribe for a slot on nov 5th 2022?

    Make sure you're on the text waitlist! I got the date I wanted a week before by being patient, and I was flexible with the time. Sign up for every slot you can.

    How much is the flight?

    Hello! Our flights are $19.

    Do you need a reservation to order Togo & just for a coffee & maybe shop around the boutique?

    Hello Lex, Reservations are only needed for our Afternoon Tea Service. If you want to come in to… 

    Can I call to make a reservation? I tried using the Yelp app for an upcoming Saturday at 10am, but the Yelp app keeps saying there are no available tables for every Saturday in July and August.

    Hello Gemma! Yelp is up to date, and we are currently fully booked through September. Our dates open up 90 days in advance, so please keep a lookout for the next opening!

Your price of admission gets you either a drink or French macaron. I went with my kids and we tried each others and all were delicious. The cat cafe itself is easy to reserve and pay ahead. It is very organized. When you get there the cat cafe is clean and there are many places to sit and the cats are spread out. The only thing I'd improve on is to give some of the cats the special collars (like they have at other cat cafe's) to let us know if the cats aren't friendly. There were 2 cats in particular that were kind of scary trying to pick fights and scratch both other cats and humans. Also my best tip is to wear disposable socks you are cool with throwing away since you have to take off your shoes and your socks get all cat hair and dirty.

It was hands down one of the best lattes I've ever had. I also tried the breakfast croissant and a few other goodies, and everything was delicious.

I'll definitely be back for another honey vanilla latte!

    First, for those newer to OC, a little history lesson about Kean…read more Kean was founded by coffee pioneer Martin Diedrich and his wife Karen. Martin Diedrich is the original founder of Diedrich Coffee, which was sold to Starbucks in 2006, and opening the Tustin location marked a return to the exact site of his very first full-scale Diedrich Coffee coffeehouse. So when you come to Kean, you are coming to a special place that is tied to the history of coffee in The O.C. Needless to say the coffee is roasted in-house and is excellent. I always buy an oatmilk latte here, and the coffee taste is deep and aromatic. Definitely one of the best in Orange County for the pure quality of its coffee. For Orange County, the location has a nice community vibe. Eclectic mix of tables, but there aren't always enough of them, so it always seems packed. Staff are always extremely nice. Appreciating the history, great coffee, and community feel is one thing, but you should know in advance that they do not offer wifi here. That is my only complaint and the only reason this gets a 5 and not a 4 star. I suppose if they want to maintain a certain vibe they don't want people working there, but I would be happy even with a one-hour time limit on wifi usage.

The portions across the board are generous, high-quality, and worth every penny.  As you can see from my previous review, their chicken katsu is one of my faves. It is crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside. It's a generous portion with plenty of Japanese curry sauce, and I love the pickled red ginger. There is a kiosk available from 9:30 to 5 pm, where you can now order and pay for their katsu items. I believe the Chicken Katsu Curry was around $17.99. You need to show the receipt when they call your name. I also picked up a couple of sandwiches. The Tuna Butter Roll hits the spot for a quick, comforting lunch. It is packed with creamy tuna, cucumber, and tomato slices--at just around $3.50, it's an incredible value. The Sandwich Box assortment (egg, ham, turkey, tuna) gives you a little bit of everything, making it perfect for a satisfying light lunch on the go.
