    Banana Matcha Cloud
    GisselaMmore ..

    Love this coffee shop! Relaxing ambiance and great selection of coffee and matcha ! Soomin was so extremely welcoming, sweet and accommodating! Would def recommend! I got the banana matcha yum!

    Came here to get a little work done during the day with my husband, and it was such a great spot! It is super close to Cal state Fullerton convenient for students! There's parking both in the back and on the street. The café itself is really cute with plenty of seating. It is perfect for studying, working, or just hanging out. Ordering on a tablet, which quick and easy. I ordered the pistachio matcha latte, and my husband got the banana milk latte. Both were incredible! The pistachio matcha was SO green and so flavorful. The pistachio blended perfectly with the matcha, giving it a nutty yet still earthy balance. The foam on top was creamy, thiccc and delicious! My husband's banana latte was also amazing! The banana flavor tasted natural, not artificial at all, and it complemented the coffee really well. We'll definitely be coming back to try more of their drinks!

    I ordered three drinks, and they came out pretty quickly even though the place was busy. It's a nice little spot to study, and parking was very easy with a lot in the back. The Sesame Bliss was good, but I was hoping for a stronger black sesame flavor or a bit more cold foam overall. It felt a little subtle compared to what I expected. The Banana Blast Latte was the standout for me, with a really nice banana flavor that didn't taste artificial. I also ordered the Phoenix Milk Tea with boba. The oolong tea itself was very light in flavor, but the boba was great and perfectly chewy. For the price, it definitely wasn't bad, and I'd try more menu items if I'm in the area.

    This coffee shop offers a unique and delicious selection of drinks! My personal favorite is the Almond Delight Latte with Black Sesame Cold Foam! The shop is cute and comfortable great for any occasion! Located across FCC, it makes a fantastic place to study! The baristas have always been friendly and helpful!

    If you need an Airoma dupe, then this is the place for you. They do not skimp on their matcha powder. I didn't get enough sleep last night and felt like a zombie the entire day, but one sip of my Creamy matcha latte had me completely wired! This place is such a hidden gem. Looking forward to trying their other drinks :)

    Great service every time we're in. Coffee options all are good. Parking is small behind subway or you can try to get street parking but honestly it is never super busy so back parking is always better.

    This place is so cute, we discovered it by Tik Tok and the color of the matcha definitely attracted us. Usually places that serve boba, don't have that great of matcha, but this place was pretty good. The matcha is BYO and the costs can add up. You can order on the self-serve kiosk and the workers were fast on making our drinks. There's a free parking lot in the back. ig: @cravingswithcat

    The drinks here were very delicious! Don't let the cozy ambiance of the shop fool you, this place definitely is a gem. The staff were very nice and made our drinks fairly quickly! Definitely a place i frequent for my matcha and hojicha fix!

    The phoenix milk tea is top tier and tastes very similar to the ones I can get in my top 2 favorite places in Southern California. Would come back just for this. Located next to Fullerton college campus with plenty of free parking in the lot next door.

    Creamy Matcha & roasted oolong. The banana matcha latte regular sugar, less ice (not pictured) is my absolute favorite!
    Christina H.

    I love that you can order on the app for pick up or delivery and get a discount with a minimum. Their matcha latte with strawberry purée is divine! I realized my previous experience was because I left it overnight and the ice melted! DUH . Peter and Gwen are absolutely lovely and truly care about their customer's experience. She informed me the matcha will oxidize overnight, and I thanked her and explained I live far but I've had it overnight and it was still delicious. She even separated the aloe Vera, so I can add it tomorrow. The banana matcha latte foam cloud is perfect! I love the fresh, wholesome banana taste and that it isn't syrup! I literally finish it in 10-15 minutes I would pay the $16 delivery fee if they delivered to Glendora I wake up early to drive 40 minutes out on my days off, and it is absolutely worth it. This is my favorite matcha place. There's no going back. The oolong latte is flavorful and has a rich after taste! No toppings needed! I love being able to order it on the website for pick up/ delivery! They're also on DoorDash

    Wanted a really nice coffee and found this place on Yelp! There are street parking right in front of the store and there were also additional parking in the back. Ordering was super easy on the pad and I ended up getting the Caramel Bliss which had cold foam and caramel drizzle. The coffee was so good and the cold foam was a great addition as it made the coffee sweet which I liked. Would come back again just for that drink!

    House Fusion Brew (cheese foam) and Phoenix milk tea! Yum
    JoAnn D.

    Across from Fullerton College (E. Chapman side)! Get a drink before or after your basketball game! It's convenient and it's GOOD! Very friendly staff/owner. It's their 1st Anniversary weekend (happy birthday!!!) and they're having a BOGO deal! Owner was so kind and excited to spread the joy and welcome the BOGO deal. House fusion brew: strong fragrant coffee with a sweet & creamy cheese foam! Oat milk for me. Delish! Phoenix oolong milk tea with boba! Their classic milk tea with a good amount of sweetness and ice! Boba texture is chewy and didn't harden after an hour! Bravo! Will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Tid Bits: -some street parking and a mini lot in the back for customers. -Few tables inside to sit and hang out or study.

Inside Vivot, it's giving "finals week survival zone" with students glued to laptops, one brave employee running the entire operation, and a self-order kiosk doing its best emotional support role. We kept our Matcha Latte classy, 25% sweetness with oat milk to really interrogate the matcha and honestly it passed the vibe check!! Smooth, solid, and worth the parking gymnastics.

I had ordered a milk tea and their Thai tea and was super disappointed with the flavor it was complete milk unfortunately and no sweeteners despite us having the 100% sweetener option. The drinks came out very far from each other time wise as well which isn't a super big issue but it's noticeable and could be an issue for bigger orders. Super busy somehow so we didn't want to burden the worker while the store had a rush. Other than that the place gave me a very pretentious vibe. I'm all for starting a business you're passionate about but it's hard to see what's different about THIS cafe in a world full of other businesses claiming to be different that's serving the same items (matcha specifically). Not to say that there's not bad matcha or coffee out there, there is. Seems like the type of cafe people go to take a picture of their drinks and pretend like they're connoisseurs and pretend that it's "different" than whatever else is out there and sit and pretend to study on their laptop (even though it's the loudest and crowded place in the world in there). Seeing that the place opened recently, it's very hard to believe this isn't some type of money grab for a younger audience to serve trendy drinks. Or at the very least, a very expensive passion project for the owner. Overall just more focused on aesthetics more than anything.

I decided to try the pandan latte and it was just as she described: more coffee flavor, subtle on the pandan and not too sweet. I tried it and although the pandan flavor could be a bit more strong, I actually really liked it. You can taste the pandan but it's very subtle. I know that pandan itself has a very subtle aroma. Even when you have it in Asian desserts, its flavor is usually very faint unless it's the artificial stuff. I would order it again but maybe ask for a little more of the pandan syrup. My husband ordered the salted caramel latte and I tried some of it. It was so good! He really liked it too. I liked the foam with the salted mocha (?) powder stuff on top... it was so good. Espresso used in the drinks were of good quality and a nice dark flavor. Interior is really cute too. Reminds me of the cafes in Korea. It we lived in the area I would come here often. We'll have to come back if we're ever in the area.
