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.

When I first walked in, the staff just stared at me while I was trying to figure out how the BOGO promotion worked. I asked if I could order through the kiosk and was told yes, but the promo code didn't redeem at checkout. I ended up waiting while the staff member chatted with some friends who had come in. I completely understand chatting with friends, but as a customer waiting for assistance, it felt unprofessional. I wish she had offered to help instead of simply telling me, "It should work." I still really like the drinks and think this place is underrated, but I was disappointed by the service during this visit. Hopefully this was just an off day, because I've had much better experiences here before.

i loooooved their double matcha latte. it is so rich, deep, and creamy. such a great study spot…read morealthough one side of the cafe has all the outlets and the other doesn't really have any that we were able to find. the coconut matcha is delicious but a little imbalanced with too much matcha (which i'd never expect to say). as much as i love all the matcha, i like coconut matchas for the refreshing, lightweight coconut water, but the matcha in this one actually makes it the same thickness and taste as a regular matcha latte. regardless, i would come back repeatedly when i have any matcha craving and so wished i had one closer to me

I think it's quite hard to stand out in the OC matcha scene, and I don't think Taty's is exceptional to me.  What I think you should get if you come here is the Banh Mi Que.

Let me tell you of this da Vien coffee shop at a new location in garden grove (for me, I'm sure…read morethis has been around for over a year or 2). Located next to AR market, it is a large interior with lots of lighting due to glass walls for half the store. I was a bit weary of da vien considering I couldn't sleep after trying their egg coffee at their bolsa location (I know Vietnamese coffee is famous for their caffeine that sneaks up on you due to the sweetness of their coffee (being Vietnamese myself) but not at this level). However, the manager or owner of the bolsa location did reach out to me to make it right after my critique. Going here is a night and day experience! Let me tell you of the tastiest coffee that rivals Starbucks... and I still got ample sleep! I got their marble drip coffee. I ordered mine with "50% sweetness and less caffeine." The moment it flowed through the straw and hit my tongue, it was the smoothest, creamiest most tasty coffee I ever had. Perfect amount of sweetness and a kick of caffeine, I was so amazed!! Their customer service here is nice and polite at the counter but that's pretty much it. They have a touch screen kiosk to also order on the side. When I came, there were 4 people ahead of me but the wait time wasn't that long thanks to the above things. I would definitely come here again. I would never guess to give a Vietnamese coffee establishment the highest rating on yelp considering my caffeine sensitivity but this is it!

Parking is ok, but can be a bit hectic sometimes!

I was so excited when they brought back my favorite drink, but lately they've become really stingy. They now charge extra to top off a drink with no ice. Okay... but the 32 oz drink is already almost $9 before any add-ons. I ordered it with no ice because I needed it for work the next day and didn't want the drink diluted. At this point, I might as well just order the 24 oz because there's no way this huge gap is simply "for the ice." I've been a loyal customer for years, but this is pretty disappointing. Paying premium prices and then being charged extra for a reasonable request, but also leaving this huge of a gap just doesn't sit right with me. So bummed

Quick Take: Really great shop on all regards. The food and drinks were great, the vibe even…read moregreater, but the service was the greatest. Shout out to Christine! Vibe: Summerfield is a staple in Garden Grove for friends to chat at or students to do some homework in.The place is very clean and has its really nice charm to it. There's plenty of natural lighting, despite being somewhat tucked away at the ground floor of a complex with other businesses in the same complex. The interior space and the two outdoor patios are really nice and roomy. Food & Drinks: I got a MIso Crunch Platter for ~$15, and the value for this was really great. The salad was very filling especially because it came with a lot of popcorn chicken, almonds, fried crisps, salad green mix, and a mildly spicy dressing. The combo also comes with a milk two of your choice (which I believe there were only two options, if I'm not mistaken). The Wintermelon Milk Tea at regular sweetness is really sweet in my opinion, so for folks that like their drinks to taste more of a beverage instead of a dessert I'd recommend starting at at 50% sweetness. I'd recommend bringing your own water since the store policy bars staff members from refilling customer-brought water containers (e.g., Hydroflasks and Owalas), and their water cup is really tiny and almost only the size of a standard shotglass. Work-Friendliness: Lots of outlets and very stable wi-fi! There's also tons of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The shop has music they play, but it's not too loud to the point that you can't focus, or put headphones on to listen to your own music. There's a lot of seating options for you to choose from. Getting There: The parking lot immediately next to it doesn't quite get busy, so driving there is an option. If it does get filled up, however, street parking is pretty easy since the shop is at a complex immediately neighboring suburbs. Public transit doesn't seem like it would be ideal. Service: Really kind staff and very patient. Going back to their water refill policy: Christine kept helping me out very patiently with water refills even though I kept coming back for what felt like the 50th time. Christine always assisted me with a smile on her face, which didn't make me feel like a burden at all. Big shout out to you diva

This quaint cafe has a lot of seating, and even some with outlets. You order with the cashier and then seat yourself. Service could be friendlier. Since it was my first time I was looking at the menu and their staff kept asking me questions and I felt pressured to make a decision. They did make recommendations but it wasn't anything I liked. I disclosed up front I wanted the labubu topping, and they said a drink was required. No problem. I was going to get a drink anyways. Honestly I would have gotten more stuff in general if the service was better. I ordered the Cereal Flakes Milk Tea ($7) and added the Labubu Jelly ($2.50?). For their characters, I am told they all taste the same. It looks like they use molds, but a lot of the execution is sloppy and the colors get mixed over to different sections. I would pay more for a better executed character. Okay, I had all my stuff with me and talked about outlets because I was clearly enjoying my purchase for here... tell me why... this young man decided to package everything up in togo packaging and then he even put my labubu in a separate container, and there was no space for me to throw the topping on. THIS REALLY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF MY VISIT. Also I gave them back all the togo materials cause I felt like that was wasteful. Anyways, I liked the drink. Don't think it tastes like a cereal drink... but oh well. The taste was good, but it needs a different name. The labubu jelly was overly gelatinous. I know it's a formula balance with the ingredients when using these molds so it comes out, and lasts, but I feel like this could be a little silkier. Enjoy the gimmick. I really didn't expect much coming here. Just for laughs and some photos. I would come back if my niece wants to check it out... but I hope their customer service improves during future visits.
