I just wanted a cup of coffee to go with my shopping run, so I ordered a black drip coffee to go. I…read moreliked the balance of the roast, it went down smooth with low acidity, so no sweetener necessary. The price was, well, reasonable for a small drip coffee from an upscale cafe, and I don't have to pay a multinational corporation to get it. The coffee was served about as quick as it would take me to make my standard Aeropress brew or pourover from whole beans, which is impressive because they were fairly busy. I didn't stick around to experience the seating or ambiance, but it was more of a lively hangout spot than a place to get some work done (unless you have a really nice pair of noise cancelling headphones) or to have a business meeting.

Service was friendly and the experience was smooth. The space itself has a nice, simple atmosphere and is a comfortable spot to grab a drink and hang out for a bit.

They use ceremonial matcha for their tea and cream tops, and you can taste the nutty roasted notes. I see people comment that their drinks are on the milkier side, but in my opinion there was plenty of matcha flavor. Maybe I went on a good day! Plenty of seating inside, and lots of parking outside. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon but they are fast.

Parking is super accessible. You can order via a screen and customize the drinks. We got all the drinks as they come (ex. no sweetness or milk changes). The portions are also generous. Unfortunately, the 3 stars part comes after drinking the drinks. I got the Pandan Matcha and my sister the Einspanner. We knew these are generally sweetened drinks, but these felt unusually thick and sugary. For a few hours after consuming them, they just sat super heavy and gave us a lot of nausea. I would recommend getting the drinks half sweet.

I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. 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.

My friend accidentally drove us to this location intending to go to the Garden Grove location, but…read moreit was a pleasant surprise to learn that they opened a second location here. I actually keep hoping that they open another location over near Cerritos/Artesia. There was a line leading outside of the building, but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered a pandan latte and I'd say it was just as good as their original location! Not overly sweet with a really tasty pandan flavor. Lots and lots of parking in the plaza. And service was very quick. There's very minimal seating on the left hand side of where you order. I wouldn't say this is the ideal shop to work in and hang out and chat, but that's fine.

This is an update to my last review about getting the wrong drink. The Airoma team reached out to…read moreme concerning the mishap. They refunded my husband in a timely manner and responded very quickly. My husband ordered the Panda Matcha for me again this time and they made it exactly how had wanted it. No complaints. Drink was the right amount of sweetness and had a good balance of Matcha and Pandan.

TLDR: The "free birthday drink" is no longer offered…read more I had seen on previous social media posts and Yelp reviews that this shop gives a free drink on your birthday with ID proof (as of 08/11/2026) but when I came to this location on 08/19 they said they no longer offered the free birthday drink freebie which was disappointing. The drinks were fine but I wish there was some kind of formal announcement that this has changed before coming up to the counter.

Of course you would hear they're going with a space theme when you see the name of this boba shop…read more Oddly enough, i've been to a few boba shops with the same theme lol. Although, first impression, I really liked how clean it is with great lighting and seating! The one thing that really bumped up my review for this place was how CLEAN the restroom is. Especially with their fancy toilet that it's foot sensor? that's crazy. Definitely a top-notch bathroom cause I felt so safe in there lol. Anyways, ordering was easy, which you can just place it at the kiosk. I got the matcha jasmine oolong tea (with 30% sugar and jasmine oolong jelly) since it was most reviewed here on Yelp. It was really good! Very refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. The matcha could be bolder, but I thought it was still a nice touch to have with the drink. The Jasmine Oolong Jelly was a lot denser than I imagined, kind of like the texture of a rainbow jelly (but not as bouncy), but it was still pretty delicious! The overall flavors were pretty good for a boba drink. I was initially intrigued by their durian coffee, but their tea here is actually pretty good. Not sure how their coffee is here, but will definitely try next time if in the mood for coffee! Also the cups here are pretty cute! They pay attention to even the texture of the cup since it's inspired by the moon.

We ordered from here for the first time through their website, and my husband picked up the drinks…read more We were looking for something different from the usual Ding Tea, Tastea, and other chain boba spots. After seeing several positive Yelp reviews, we decided to give this place a try. My husband wasn't a fan of the location because the plaza was extremely crowded, but he did mention that the shop itself had a friendly, trendy atmosphere. The staff greeted him right away, and the drink presentation was impressive. The takeout bag was a nice touch, and we were even gifted eco-friendly gloves from AnEco as part of a sustainability promotion--something we can all appreciate. As for the drinks, my husband ordered the Matcha Cloud Jasmine Milk Tea, and I ordered the Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea, both at 60% sweetness. The sweetness level was spot-on, but we were both hoping for a stronger tea flavor. I'd rate the drinks a solid 3/5. Our total came to $15.46 for two drinks, which is pretty standard these days. Overall, the customer service was excellent, and the drinks were decent. However, we're still undecided about returning, as we don't feel the drinks alone are enough to justify navigating the busy, overcrowded plaza.

Some time ago, after playing pickleball in Irvine. I decided to visit Viland Coffee since it's just…read moreopened. Viland Coffee is an upscaled, comfortable, modern bright and clean cafe with tables, seats inside and outside. It's not big, I would say it's similar to a size of most local Starbucks. Service is very friendly. You order at counter and they will call your name when the order is done. So I try young coconut blended coffee with half dozen beignets (you can order 6 or 12 only). My young coconut blended coffee is very smooth. Nice touch of dry coconut on top of cream. It's not super strong coffee or super strong coconut juice, so it's nice combination where they adjusted it perfectly. The beignets are just so good, soft, with good texture and kind of like a donut. I can probably eat 12 easily. It's got powdered sugar on top. It can get busy here, so come here during off peak time is highly recommended! Bakeries alone is worth your time here in my opinion!
