    Avocado smoothie with black coffee
    Tina L.

    Nice Asian owned cafe shop in Orange County that serves quite a large selection of Vietnamese coffee drinks, as well as Matcha lattes and desserts cakes. Crème brûlée latte definitely had a strong Vietnamese coffee base and the top wasn't overly sweet in my opinion. The avocado smoothie with black coffee was not bad but I felt this was more water-based. No, I did ask for less sweetness and substituted for soy milk. But still refreshing for a hot day. There are these several outlets so it's not a bad place to work from except it's not going to be quiet atmosphere isn't necessarily loud though on a typical weekday.

    Ube latte, Baileys coffee, Ceremonial Matcha Latte w/ bear

    September has the most delicious Baileys coffee and I wish they were closer to home! It doesn't stop me from going though! I have brought over a couple of family and friends to try September out and every single person has loved it! It's a great place to study and the interior inside is really nice. There's areas that are more private for time where you want to study and some spots inside for hanging and catching up with friends. They have so many drink options such as iced lattes, hot drinks, blended drinks, etc. and they also have multiple food options as well! Their workers are very friendly and quick and they bring your order to you which is really nice :) I can't wait to go back! Parking: 9/10 (shared with other shops in plaza) Food/Drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Interior: 10/10

    order: *tornado miscoff latte *matcha latte *mango dragonfruit latte *sweet purple potato latte *mushroom carabona pasta *garlic cream cheese croissant *fresh banana croffle *ice cream hot pot (pick 4 out of their 12 flavors!) review: this oc cafe has some of the cutest desserts and pretty specialty drinks, like the mango dragonfruit, which are all made from fresh fruits! even the little bears on top are made with real fruits too! for example: yellow is mango black is coffee red is raspberry green is green tea this place is a great spot to hangout with your friends and family and dine in with some delicious food to eat (and post on the gram )

    Came by on a late Friday night. Only a few other patrons so we were able to find seating easily. Flipped through their extensive drink menu and decided on the sour sop tea, mango yakult, strawberry mojito (virgin), sea salt coffee, a macaroon, and a mousse cake shaped like a chubby hamster. Drinks came out in decent time and were very refreshing! Definitely enjoyed the sour sop tea the most! Plenty of fruit pieces to munch on after you finish your drink as well. The mousse was okay, but I would order again for just the laughs. There was a cute frozen bear on top of our mango yakult drink, which was a nice touch. Would be a regular stop for me if only we lived closer. There were plenty of food options, but we had just came from dinner so we didn't get to try them out.

    September Cafe offers an authentic Vietnamese vibe with aesthetic seating and unique drinks. The friendly and helpful staff helped us customize our drink's sweetness and strength. We tried the best-selling Sea Salt Cream Coffee, which was creamy with a rich coffee taste. We recommend bringing cash for a 5% discount!

    Egg coffee girl dates

    I met up with a friend here early morning for some coffee and girl chat. It was easy to find there is a huge parking lot with plenty of space for you to park your car. There is also plenty of seating inside. The inside of the café is so beautiful and perfect for photos. It's very modern very shake. Service was great. The front desk and cashier was also very helpful in deciding what drink we should get helping us. Look at the menu and recommending their favorites. Go wrong with the Vietnamese egg coffee, and some chill vibes. Will definitely come back.

    This place has been my go to for avocado coffee and Vietnamese Coffee. The owner here is consistently nice and welcoming! Their food options are also great and the ambiance is great however I do no think this the place to relax/study as there are a lot of people that comes here to socialize. I highly recommend for you to try this place.

    I'm not sure why but I thought the cafe would be bigger from pictures. That's not a big deal but just thought I'd point it out just in case others would think the same haha. Service: I would rate it a 4/5 and that's the main reason the rating is what it is. At first I spoke Vietnamese to the cashier but she didn't seem to understand so I had to speak in English. Then after I ordered, she talked in Vietnamese to the next customer :') I don't blame her though because perhaps it was on me speaking too low or not pronouncing the name of the food well. She recommended a drink for my mom that she said wasn't sour but it was still very sour for her. She was kind enough to offer to make another one or add in extra sugar. Food: It was okay. The egg cream toast is simple, so hard to mess up. It was alright! Creamy and not too sweet with not too overwhelming of an eggy flavor. Mushroom Carbonara was creamy and pretty good. Probably the best thing we ordered out of the three food items! Banh Mi Que was okay. The shredded pork filling, my mom said wasn't good. The bread on the outside is fine. The ham and cheese was loved by my niece! I'm sure if they had the pork belly, my mom would have liked that one. Drinks: Semi-decent. The sakura blossom latte was more milk than anything. I didn't taste enough of the sakura/cherry blossom flavor. Barbie yakult was good but also average and not wow. If you like flavor then the peach orange lemongrass drink is actually really good. My mom just isn't able to handle sour. Overall, I could have given a lower score as it felt disappointing despite the reviews seeming different. I don't think I'd come here again. I leave it at 4 stars, like I said, mainly because I'm at least thankful they seemed so willing to make things better for our drinks if we were not satisfied.

    Truffle Coffee
    Millena P.

    Sundays call for brunch aaannnddd coffee dates. I've had this spot saved for a while and finally got the chance to check it out. Parking: Free parking lot. There's a small/medium parking lot. Finding a spot can be easy. Ambiance/Environment: The interior is very cute. They have a decent amount of indoor seating. There's a small den with a booth-ish seating. There are regular-height tables and chairs and shorter tables and chairs. It's a studious environment but also a nice spot to hangout. Service: The cashier that assisted me was simply efficient. Throughput was quick after ordering. We only waited about 12 min for everything. Drinks & dessert: The menu can be overwhelming. They offer small bites, desserts, milk teas, coffee, fruit teas, teas, yogurt, blended drinks, etc. Although the photos of the drinks look appealing, the presentation doesn't match. I was told they no longer offer drinks in a glass even if you're dining in. All drinks are in to-go cups. I got the Truffle Coffee, Vietnamese Black Coffee (with no sugar), and Egg Cream Toast. If you prefer your drinks strong and bitter, then the Vietnamese Black Coffee will be perfect for you. The bear on top is absolutely cute. Make sure you drink this properly - always let Vietnamese coffee sit and don't slurp it in two gulps. Hence why there's a lot of ice. The Truffle Coffee tasted exactly as it sounds .. I thought the flavors were okay, but I believe truffle should only stay with savory dishes lol. The egg cream itself was thick and creamy. I was expecting some fancy french toast along side with it, but it's literally just toasted white bread. Pricing: More on the expensive side for coffee in OC. I'd come back to try their other drinks bc they all sound appealing. I wouldn't get the egg cream toast again.

    Pandan Ice Cream
    Long T.

    Craving dessert randomly late one Tuesday night and stumbled upon this nice dessert cafe while on the area. It's a nice sized store with plenty of tables inside and some stool seating that faces out to a busy street which is always nice to watch cars drive. The vibe was very chill and mellow at the time i went, great for reading a book or bringing your laptop to study. This place offers a variety of teas, coffees, ice creams, cakes, and croffles on their menu to name a few. I went with a single scoop of their Pandan Ice Cream which costs $5.50, but you get 5% off if you pay by cash or venmo. The service was very quick and the server who brought my ice cream out to my table was friendly. The single scoop was a generous portion and it came with oreos which was a nice surprise. The flavor was right on point, not too sweet, but you can still taste the pandan in each bite. I'll have to come back next time to try their other desserts!

    Hot coffee
    Nick N.

    Came here with my dad for some coffee after lunch on his recommendation. Now my dad is very hard to please when it comes to food and drink - particularly Vietnamese coffee. He spoke very highly of this place which is all but a guaranty of quality. Sure enough, I was very satisfied with the coffee, it's on the stronger side which is perfect to me. I had iced while he had the hot. We were helped by Alisha who was very friendly. Very cozy, classic coffee shop vibe. Pay with cash / zelle / venmo for 5% off! Also free wifi so come here and enjoy some good coffee and desserts to relax or do some work.

    cherry blossom matcha, mango yakult, Tiramisu Coffee, all 3 breadsticks, garlic cream cheese croissant, various cakes
    Bethany L.

    September is an adorable cafe with plenty of seating and sweet/savory food options for studying or catching up with friends! The desserts are both made in house, and I'm normally picky about desserts but theirs are light, airy, and not too sweet which I loved. The individual decor on the drinks were the perfect cherry on top. we got their matcha cherry blossom (not too floral), tiramisu coffee (coffee base + cream top) and mango yakult (so refreshing/slightly carbonated). For foods we chose finger foods like the precut cream cheese garlic croissant and bread sticks (ham, cheese, pork belly!) with a crispy exterior. Favorites were the desserts!! I loved the berry choco mousse and passion cheesecake. We also got the oreo and tiramisu bunny since there's a buy 3 get 1 free promo! overall the price is amazing considering everythings made in house, and the staff are so sweet and attentive.

    Ask the Community - September

    Do they have plugs for laptops?

    Yes, there are charging stations in the walls. Please ask for assistance if you need help locating.

    Do you guys offer an alternative for milk, so instead of whole milk, can we replace it with oat milk?

    Yes they offer oat milk, almond milk and soy milk for alternative

    Is this place dine in only or is to-go available?

    Both, dine in and to-go

    Do they accept cash?

    Yes they do!

    Does the place still sells the "ice cream hotpot" if so, how much is it? Because I can't seem to find it on your menu here

    I went 23 days ago (and left a review) and they still had it then! It was about $30, I believe.

    Do you use any peanuts/peanut products in your drinks/food?

    We are a peanut free cafe. However we do have almond, so almond was processed in the same facility as peanut.

    Good place for studying? Any plugs?

    There's a lot of seating that would be great for studying but there are not many outlets.

They've been consistently amazing ever since they opened, and somehow they've only gotten better over time. I honestly enjoy just about every drink on their menu, especially their seasonal specials. My all-time favorite has to be their 2026 Spring Earl Grey Matcha. I was getting it almost every week, and I was genuinely sad when they switched over to their summer menu. Thankfully, they kept the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, because wow... what a flavor explosion. It's easily one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had, and my friend and I keep coming back just for it. I know it sounds a little adventurous, because it did to me, but when I tried it, it genuinely changed my life (kidding). If mango isn't your thing, I highly recommend either the Double Matcha or the Banana Matcha. The Double Matcha is perfect if you love a strong matcha flavor; you can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. As for the Banana Matcha, I normally don't gravitate toward banana drinks, but SIP completely changed my mind. They use what tastes like a banana pudding instead of artificial banana flavoring, and it blends so smoothly with the matcha that every sip feels balanced and indulgent. The café itself is just as charming as the drinks. The wood paneling gives the space a cozy, retro vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming.

The space is super cute with such a fun, cozy vibe, and the staff was so kind and welcoming. I especially loved the red gingham decor it gives the whole place the cutest little picnic feel There are a few chairs where you can sit, sip, and chat, but no tables, so I wouldn't really consider this a spot to bring your laptop and work. Now the MATCHA I looooved their matcha with the Earl Grey foam top. OMG... it was phenomenal!! The matcha was earthy, umami, and so well balanced, and the hint of Earl Grey in the foam complemented it perfectly without overpowering the matcha. Such a good combination! I will 100% be coming back for this one!

It was a very small drink (9 oz). It was slightly salted, tasted bitter, and wasn't sweet despite having condensed milk as an ingredient. It wasn't good. Canale: Despite having to wait for the drink, I needed to wait longer for this because the staff forgot to put it in the order. I needed to wait for them to prepare it in the back and also go back to the counter to charge for it. All to wait for something that was mushy. Coffee Beans: I saw there were coffee beans from Glitch in Japan. It was a brand that I loved there so I wanted to give it a try. I don't usually like fruity notes but this was really delicious. However, it's extremely pricy for how little beans there is.

They also sold coffee beans, which I grabbed as well. Appreciated that they have different pricing for later roasted dates. I was able to grab a spot as someone was leaving. It's a decent spot to sit and get some work done. However, it could be a bit nosy. If not a working spot, definitely for picking up quality coffee drinks!

I tried their Banana Matcha Latte and it was delicious. They also have $4 specials on different items throughout the week. The staff was nice, making the experience better. I would definitely be back.

    Paderia is dangerous....could really kill your gains if you have a sweet tooth. It's impossible to…read morewalk out of here without spending a solid chunk of change because everything looks and smells so good. Their cookies are absolutely massive and they are incredibly thick, dense, and heavy. The outside has a nice crispness, but the center is pure gooey perfection. They are so rich and packed with chocolate that you honestly need to break them into quarters to share, or just save the rest for later. We got the chocolate chip cookie and s'mores. Their best seller is definitely the chocolate chip. To wash it down, their Vietnamese Coffee is a must. It is strong, bold, and has that perfect sweet, condensed milk punch that hits just right. It pairs perfectly with how rich the cookies are. The spot is just a quick grab-and-go setup, and the line moves fast. Just make sure to get there on the earlier side because their popular stuff definitely sells out later in the day.

I purchased two incredible cookies based on the suggestion of the lady running the cart. I selected the Sea Salt Chocolate Chip cookie and the Cookies and Cream cookie (not pictured). They were a similar size of a muffin and they were so good! The cart was only there during the Food and Wine Festival so I'm glad I was able to try them out. If I'm ever in California anytime soon, I'll try to stop by and grab more cookies.

    Made a quick stop at NEP Cafe while we were in Fountain Valley and it did not disappoint. NEP is…read morepart of Kei Concepts with a modern take on Vietnamese food. The menu takes familiar Vietnamese flavors then gets a little creative with them. The space itself has that same trendy Kei Concepts feel too. Cute, lively, but still casual enough to stop in for brunch or coffee. The workers here were super attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but we narrowed it down to the Seafood Ceviche, Matcha Cloud Latte, Egg Coffee, plus the Beef Belly Banh Mi Chao. The Seafood Ceviche comes with scallops, shrimp, calamari, mango, coconut, Thai chili, plus shrimp chips. This was such a clean and bright bite with a little tropical flavor from the mango and coconut. There was a nice kick of spice too. They gave a good amount of seafood, so you weren't just eating toppings and sauce. Scoop everything onto one of those crispy shrimp chips... so good. The Matcha Cloud Latte was dangerously easy to drink. I genuinely think I could take down three of these. It's made with oat milk then topped with matcha cheese foam. It was creamy with such a vibrant green matcha flavor. Slightly sweeter than I normally prefer, but I'm sure you could ask for less sweetness. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but the Egg Coffee surprised me. It's Vietnamese milk coffee topped with egg foam and cocoa powder. That cream was DELICIOUS. Last was the Beef Belly Banh Mi Chao. It comes with beef belly, black peppercorn sauce, sunny eggs, pork roll, pate, tomatoes. We added Chinese sausage since we were sharing, but honestly we didn't even need it. They give you a MOUNTAIN of beef belly. I loved being able to build each bite however I wanted with the bread, beef, egg, pate, plus everything else on the plate. Such a fun dish to share. Another Kei Concepts win for me. I already know there are more things on this menu I need to come back for.

    Came here for the first time for dinner. We had a reservation and got seated right away though we…read moregot there 15 mins earlier. Parking is easy and plenty of spots as there are no other open establishments in the plaza. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Like many of the Kei concepts restaurants I've tried, this place didn't disappoint. I liked everything that we ordered. Price is reasonable. Serving size is just right. Definitely recommended!
