I've been on a mission to try banana matcha lattes wherever I go so that's what I got. The 16 oz. was $7.00 which is pretty on par with other places that sell matcha drinks. My friend got the matcha einspanner. We usually ask for less sweet but forgot today and thought the drinks would be too sweet but they were actually perfect. Would definitely come back!

Da Vien I've been…read morehere many times, and I usually buy an iced milk coffee for my mom. In my opinion, the coffee here tastes very close to traditional Vietnamese coffee. My mom especially enjoys it because authentic Vietnamese coffee is strong and rich in caffeine. I find the prices quite reasonable and comparable to other coffee shops in the area. The shop is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff are friendly, efficient, and always provide good customer service without any attitude toward customers. The main downside is the parking. I have a young child, so it can be inconvenient when parking is limited, far away, or difficult to find. Overall, though, it's a great place for anyone looking for a coffee experience that feels close to Vietnam.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the food menu, as I wasn't expecting to get food like this at a coffee house. I ordered the Spicy Popcorn chicken and they were very delicious and seasoned well. I would definitely order this again. My daughter ordered the Classic Egg Sando and she loved it. She described it as being super fresh and tasty. I ordered a Banana Toffee Latte and it was so good. The coffee flavor was on point and it wasn't too sweet. I would order this again. My daughter ordered the Strawberry Double Matcha Latte and she said it was the best Matcha she's ever had. Unfortunately, I don't live near here, but if I am out this way, I would definitely come back. This place is definitely one of my favorite coffee houses.

I was told that the recipe had changed, and since then the coffees seem much weaker and watered down. We used to drive all the way from Irvine because we loved the coffee so much, but sadly that's no longer the case. It was disappointing to see such a noticeable decline in quality.

My friend got the Classic Matcha Latte, and I got the Double Matcha Latte, which was really good. The matcha was smooth, creamy, and well balanced without being overly sweet. What really stood out to me was the cream top on the double matcha. It was thick, silky, and added a rich texture to the drink while still letting the matcha flavor come through clearly. The drink felt really comforting and well crafted overall. The café itself is clean, spacious, and well kept, making it a nice spot for people to sit down and get work done or just hang out for a while. The worker was really kind and welcoming, and you could tell they cared about creating a good experience for customers. The atmosphere overall felt calm and inviting, which made me enjoy the visit even more.

Here's a polished version of your review:…read more I've been to both the Westminster and Brookhurst locations of Taty's, and this location is definitely easier when it comes to parking. With the current matcha craze, I noticed they've expanded their matcha offerings but reduced some of their traditional tea selections, including High Mountain Oolong and Red Jade Oolong from Taiwan, where boba tea originated more than 40 years ago. On this visit, we ordered the Rising Phoenix and Iron Buddha teas. Unfortunately, both tasted a bit watered down and lacked the depth of flavor I was expecting. I hope they pay closer attention to quality control, especially for their tea-based drinks. That said, the convenient location and parking make it a place I would likely stop by again when I'm in the area.

I love a really sweet drink, and this was just that. The wait was a little bit long because this is a really popular location now (sometimes there are people lined up outside).

The tea flavor is pretty strong which I love because a lot of milk teas from other boba shops end up tasting mostly like milk. This one had a really nice tea aroma and didn't feel watered down at all. It's on the sweeter side so if you don't like that, definitely ask for lower sweetness level. If you were a fan of Orobae's rising phoenix oolong milk tea before they closed, this is probably the closest thing I've found to it. The service was quick and friendly. The inside of the shop is super cute with a clean, minimalist vibe. I'd definitely order the phoenix oolong again. It's easily one of my favorite drinks I've had here so far!!

We got their House Coffee and Matcha Einspanner. Their House Coffee is Vietnamese-style coffee with a thick cream on top. Super strong and just what we needed! Their Matcha Einspanner was definitely one of my favorite matcha drinks I've ever had. The matcha had depth, the consistency was on the thicker side, and wow the color! No notes! There's almost always a crowd going in and out of here. Don't be too intimidated- it goes by fast! Their team is really efficient.

The Double Matcha was smooth and creamy with a beautifully layered look, while the Pandan Matcha had this rich, deep green color and a distinct flavor that felt a little more elevated. You could tell the matcha quality is no joke. The vibe inside is super chill, great lighting, comfortable seating, and honestly a solid spot to open your laptop and get some work done. The staff was friendly and welcoming the whole time, which always makes a difference. The only thing keeping this from a perfect 5 is the wait time. It's clearly a popular spot, and on weekends especially, be prepared to hang tight for a bit. Totally worth it, but plan accordingly. Already looking forward to coming back and working through the rest of the menu.

I've been searching for a solid crème brûlée milk tea after getting hooked on it from Machi Machi (not around here) but this place takes the cake for best crème brûlée milk tea. The inside is really cute and creatively themed. Some tables to sit and hangout as well. Bathroom is SO CLEAN. Loved it. Service was also really good and nice! They were giving away free disposable kitchen gloves today and tickets for potential to go to World Cup but ours only had free topping and BOGO drinks which was still a nice surprise. Would def come back again to try their other drinks. Parking in the plaza was not bad on a Sunday afternoon and had a good amount of spots.

I still remembered when they first opened their drink was lack of flavors and was on the sweet side. Now come back trying their milk tea and matcha, I gotta say they definitely up their game. Matcha was really really good, no sweet, tea flavor was strong and everything mixed smooth and perfectly. Definitely comparable with double matcha from Tatty and Heytea. The post flavor after every sip is there. Same with Jasmine milk tea Ambiance is pretty cool, they add some more modern accent from space and astronaut. Love the theme they built. They also added promotions, definitely recommended now after seeing much changes from them

Viland Coffee I've…read morebeen here many times, and we usually order the young coconut avocado, black coffee, and beignets. I really like the young coconut avocado -- it's perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and not too heavy. My daughter loves the beignets because they are always served warm and fresh, which I really appreciate. The black coffee isn't too strong for me, though it might just be that I'm already used to a lot of caffeine. The shop itself isn't very big, but it's very clean and nicely decorated. The presentation of the drinks and desserts is also very eye-catching. Most importantly, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming, and they always treat customers nicely, which makes the experience even better. Parking can be a bit difficult. The spots close to the shop are limited, and sometimes you have to park a bit far away. Overall, a nice cozy spot I keep coming back to.

I tried their new coconut matcha. It was less than $7, which is a "steal" nowadays. The coconut water was good and the matcha foam was too. I got the foam at half sweet and I think that it was a good middle between maintaining matcha's bitterness and having some sweetness. Unfortunately, my low rating is due to their sanitation. I went to use the restroom, where they were out of soap. I let a worker know . I studied here for a few more hours then went to use the restroom once more before I left. The soap dispenser was now full but barely worked and what came out did not lather. This is because they had replaced the soap dispenser with hand sanitizer. Very unsanitary for it to not be real soap and then considering some of the workers probably wash their hands here then prepare food and drink.

The Matcha soufflé had creamy matcha sauce with matcha powder on top, along with bananas and strawberries with strawberry ice cream. It's perfect for matcha lovers! The Ube Soufflé was our favorite, and it had creamy ube sauce on top with ube jellies and strawberry ice cream! The soufflé pancakes generally take about 40min to make, so if you plan to come, make sure to allocate some time to stay and wait for the pancakes. They are worth it! There's lots of seating space in the cafe itself. Parking was also easy within the lot, even when it got busier and the nearby restaurants also filled up with people.

My husband and I came around 4:15 pm on a Wednesday…read more We ordered a sesame coffee, pistachio latte, and a matcha soufflé. The guy working the cashier said it'll take 20-25 minutes for the soufflé, and we were okay with that since we planned on staying 'til about 5:15 anyway to do some work. While working, I noticed there were plenty of drinks that kept piling up for pickup, so I just assumed they were busy, hence why we still didn't get our soufflé even after 25 minutes already. By the time the clock hit 5, my husband was done with his drink and wanted to try another (the pistachio latte wasn't very good), and when he ordered I also told the cashier if we could get the soufflé to-go. He responded by saying it's gonna take 20-25 minutes. Now annoyed, I responded, "It's been like 40 minutes. We ordered it with our drinks." He looked completely confused and said that no we didn't. I said that's not correct because you literally charged me for it; there is no way I paid $35 for 2 drinks. I didn't wanna have to make a scene, and since we were about to leave, I just canceled it and asked to get refunded. My husband then proceeded to order an egg coffee. From my experience, when businesses mess up, they would usually offer something complimentary, but no he had to pay for his drink after dealing with the mishap of the refund that took literally 3 employees to try and process. When he got his egg coffee, the guy decided to give him another pistachio latte to make up for the soufflé mishap. Now we're stuck with an extra drink that we didn't even really like, but seeing as customer service isn't a strong suit of theirs, we do appreciate the free drink. It's just too bad we had to pay for another drink and then be stuck with an extra that we didn't even want. Now I should be content because we got a free drink, right? Well, no. It's been well over 2 weeks, and I never received the refund for the soufflé. I've called twice, and both times they insisted they made the refund. So how come I still haven't received it? And to think that it took 3 employees to do whatever it was they tried doing to make the refund on the register. It has gotten to a point where I had to call my bank, and they had to dispute the amount that was supposed to have been refunded. I should have had the tip I left disputed too at this point. I absolutely hate that I'm here making a big deal over $16, but if you're a business, hold up your end of the bargain! The only reason I didn't give 1 star is because I never actually got to try the soufflé. The drinks were nothing special and we for sure will not order them again, but if someday I decide to give the benefit of the doubt about their customer service etiquette, then maybe we'll be back to give the soufflé another chance since it seems to be their specialty.
