Both their matcha drinks and espresso drinks are great, and you can't go wrong with either one. I rarely come here to this area but when I do I order the same drink, I should also start ordering other drinks so I get to experience and try all of their flavor combinations! 100% recommend trying them out if you are ever in the area!

The orange matcha is also delicious. Their matcha is deep without tasting bitter.

The large parking lot is also a perk. Would definitely recommend!

I came here on Sunday, June 28 around 2pm to study for a few hours. The ambiance and interior was…read moreperfect for studying! The interior was super cute and helped me focus while studying. It wasn't difficult to find a spot to sit at either; outdoor seating and a good number of indoor seating was available for how busy it was at the time. It did get busier later, so I recommend to come earlier than you plan to to find a seat since it is a small store. May have to share a table with someone. The service was good! The cashier who helped me out answered questions I had and helped me pick out the drink. I got the espresso einspanner and it was average. The espresso is pre-batched and sort of had a weird bitter taste you wouldn't expect from coffee. The cream top definitely made it taste better. If they make the espresso latte base the same way without a cream top, I recommend to get a specialty drink or any drink with a cream top. It was kind of expensive for what it is. However, the service and interior outweighed my opinion on the drink, so I didn't think it deserved 4 stars for that. Definitely will come back to study again and try a different drink!!

Definitely coming back to try more of their drinks !

I was disappointed with the matcha here considering how popular this coffee shop is…read more I got the Black Sesame Matcha and it was pretty mid. There wasn't much matcha flavor and volume. It was pretty milky. The black sesame flavor was good and nutty. However, I wasn't a fan of the large grainy bits in the drink. The drinks are also on the pricier side, similar to what you would see in LA which doesn't really match the area and other nearby coffee shops. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a bathroom available. For parking, there's a good amount of free parking in the lot. I think this cafe is known more for their coffees and I would get that next time, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha.

I've heard great things about Airoma, so I was really happy to stumble upon here when I was…read moreordering from a restaurant in the same plaza! I came on a Monday around 11AM, and it was decently crowded, which surprised me, so I had high hopes. However, the line was short, so I didn't have to wait long. The cashier who took my order was very friendly and efficient. I got a Matcha Pandan (75% sweet). I waited around 5 mins before I received my drink. Honestly, I would give the drink 3.5 stars. What I really liked was that I could taste the pandan! I also thought 75% sweetness was perfect for me. The size of the drink was also generous for the price as I'm used to smaller sizes at other matcha cafes for the same price. However, I didn't really taste the matcha which was odd because before mixing my drink fully, I took a quick sip and definitely tasted matcha. Once I did mix it though, the matcha flavor was gone, and I mainly just tasted pandan. Overall, mainly giving Airoma 4 stars for the service and efficiency! My drink was good, but not mind-blowing. Maybe their other drinks like their coffee are better, so I'd try them again if I'm in the area.

This is my favorite coffee shop!!…read more Coffee cream is my new favorite drink! I used to always get the einspanner. Trying new ones.

wifi password: spanishlatte…read more the cafe is conveniently located near two supermarkets so very ample parking. the service was very friendly and there are several 2 person tables across the wall. only downside is that there are little to no outlets (writing this with only 3% on my laptop). the space itself is not too sterile and still has warm woody tones across the seating area. they also have a selection of different beans for sale alongside various coffee accessories? kinda overheard a conversation the cashier was having w the customer and recommended the orange cardamom iced espresso, which seemed like such a very intriguing and unique drink. the no outlets part is the biggest downside but i will try to salvage the most of my time here... also overheard they make their syrups in house, which i can taste within the blueberry matcha latte.

Ratings: Curry crab omelette 8/10: this was a solid dish, but honestly, I know it was an omelette, but it just taste like eggs basically just an omelette with a little bit of crab but not bad. Shrimp fried rice 9/10: with the lime sauce on the side this is delicious by itself not so much of a great dish, but with the sauce amazing. Filet mignon banh mi 9.5/10: the only reason I take off .5 is because the bread was very very hard. But overall, an amazing dish and the flavors were amazing. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. Mango sticky rice 7/10 if you are a fan of black sesame and your desserts, this is perfect for you. Banana bread pudding 100/10: this genuinely might be one of the greatest desserts I've ever had amazing perfection. All of the aspects of it are perfect the crunch the banana, the ice cream, the bread pudding everything about it just amazing if you love banana you will love this dessert.

This time we ordered the beef tongue fried rice, The dao, and the seafood tom kha pasta. The fried rice was a little disappointing because it was too soggy which threw off the texture. The dao was creamy but still light so it didn't feel too heavy. The seafood tom kha pasta is my favorite and something I have to order every time. It's tangy, creamy, and packed with umami. I just wish it had a little more spice and a few more mushrooms. They were also really generous with the seafood. Our server was super attentive throughout the meal. Nep's still one of my favorite brunch spots in OC and I'll definitely keep coming back!!

It only had a few seating areas; so will likely be packed during peak hours. The parking is decently sized. Ordered the following: Strawberry Matcha Latte Banana Cream Matcha Sakura Matcha Latte They have a variety of drinks (even a lot of creative matcha flavors). The Strawberry Matcha Latte had fuit pieces that had a nice balance of sweet and earthy flavor of the matcha. The Banaba Cream Matcha had a creaminess with banana flavor mixed with the matcha to balance it out. The most interesting one was the Sakura Matcha, it has a soft subtle flora that wasn't so strong that it over powered the matcha. Definitely would like to try some of their other drinks.
