    Iced banana cream matcha
    Jehiely P.

    Cute hidden coffee shop great for studying/working has booths to study . Good coffee and matcha. Love the chia pudding.

    My job got new offices located in Santa Ana, and this coffee shop is close by to us. Due to boss buying us lunch and my coworker grabbing me one yesterday I've tried this place out two times, and have been completely satisfied! I've tried the caramel macchiato iced, and it was the perfect amount of caramel and yesterday I tried La Paz, and I enjoyed that as well. I love how they use crushed ice that DOESN'T melt the coffee! Perfection! I cannot comment on service or ambience (I have not seen it personally) but maybe soon.

    this place mid. the matcha is very light and not high quality, and 1.25 for oat milk is crazy in this economy.

    The coffee here is fantastic. The coffee has a rich, deep flavor. I love coming here for coffee chat or study.

    La Paz signature latte

    I had better hopes for the iced coffee here because of the pictures I saw online but unfortunately I was unsatisfied. Ordered the La Paz as it was one of the signature drinks on the menu, came out watered down and lacked any coffee flavor actually. Tasted like straight up milk with a splash of coffee. The barista was rushing the drinks since she was closing early at 12 which kinda sucked. Wished they'd put more effort into their drinks

    Came here for my caffeine fix. This place was good not great. I wanted a pastry with my drink and they had no pastries. The display was completely empty which was a bummer. The drink was very good nothing specials about it. The inside seems like a very quiet place where one could work. They have plenty of outside seating as well which was very nice.

    I got the strawberry matcha, which was a seasonal drink. It was really yummy. The service was fast, and the ambience was great. I think the music was a little loud, but I ended up sitting in one of the cool booths they have for studying. Got a lot of work done!

    A great for place for wfh folks to work at, or to catch up with friends. I love the vibe, lots of seatings, good wifi, and decent coffee. It gets loud from the talking and music. They have 2 private rooms on a first come first serve basis but it was a bit loud when I went, even in the rooms you can hear the music.

Not much of an ambience since you just order and wait for your drinks. My wife and I ordered the pumpkin pie matcha and salted Saigon. The drinks came out super quick! BELIEVE THE HYPE.

The salted saigon is probably the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. No exaggeration.

I went on a Tuesday morning and luckily only had to wait about 10 minutes. We got the mango matcha and blueberry matcha. Both were good, but I didn't adjust the sweetness and felt like the fruit flavors overpowered the matcha. The flavors themselves were really good though, especially since they use house-made syrups. I'd probably go for the plain matcha next time to actually get a better sense of the matcha itself, or ask them to tone down the sweetness/flavor. One thing I did appreciate is that the staff were really nice and offered to make adjustments if I wasn't happy with the drink. The parking lot is pretty small and gets crowded, so it can be a little hectic. Overall, not a bad matcha at all, but I'm not sure it completely lived up to the hype for me.

    I've had my eye on Morning Lavendar for a while as I was particularly drawn to the their afternoon…read moretea experience. I could hold off no longer and had to visit this charming boutique with cascading blush and ivory. A breathtaking floral wall welcomes you inside and invites you to take a seat. As you enter, greetings from staff echo from the counter. Do you check out the shop or grab a drink and browse? Whatever you do, do not skip the banana cold foam on your drink if you love banana! The hospitality here is evident the moment you walk in. Staff were ready to take our order, answer questions and even checked to see if our drinks were to our liking. Think fashionable design meets European charm for the interior atmosphere, right down to the plates. Morning Lavender offers table seating as well as booths and can accommodate large parties for events. Now for the good stuff- let's talk an Iced Mocha with extra chocolate and an Iced Chai Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The Mocha with extra chocolate was indulgent and velvety with the espresso seamlessly intertwined. A decadent treat to enjoy as the morning started to warm up into the afternoon. Just a suggestion for those who enjoy the richer side of coffee and espresso. A dash of a bit more cream would've added that refined richness. The star of the morning was definitely the Iced Chia Tea Latte with Banana Cream Foam. The description of cold cream hardly captures and embodies what this Banana Cold Foam really is. Think lusciously thick banana smoothie topping off your drink. Impossibly creamy and bursting with ripe banana. Crowning the drink sat a slice of banana bathed on one side in a caramelized sauce similar to crème brûlée. Crunchy peanuts generously scattered on top, making an irresistible contrast in texture. This drink was truly an exceptional culinary experience. I will be back again and again for the Banana Cold Foam.

Rumi was wonderful with the kids, the snacks were cute (albeit pretty limited for the price--a small tea sandwich, a small cupcake, some cinnamon goldfish), they had a little dance session, and then did photos. Overall a cute experience for the kids. That said, I got a lavender latte and it was difficult to finish. The foam was like a salted caramel, which clashed with the lavender's liquid portion of the drink. There were a lot of lavender petals on top, which looked nice, but were bitter to taste. The latte portion actually tasted ok after I grabbed a straw so that I could drink it without the foam, but the foam and toppings just really threw the drink off. For $7, I expect harmonious flavors as well as an aesthetic look. I'd definitely bring my kid back for another Tots event, but I'd not get the lavender latte again.

The only thing I'd improve on is to give some of the cats the special collars (like they have at other cat cafe's) to let us know if the cats aren't friendly. There were 2 cats in particular that were kind of scary trying to pick fights and scratch both other cats and humans. Also my best tip is to wear disposable socks you are cool with throwing away since you have to take off your shoes and your socks get all cat hair and dirty.

    First, for those newer to OC, a little history lesson about Kean…read more Kean was founded by coffee pioneer Martin Diedrich and his wife Karen. Martin Diedrich is the original founder of Diedrich Coffee, which was sold to Starbucks in 2006, and opening the Tustin location marked a return to the exact site of his very first full-scale Diedrich Coffee coffeehouse. So when you come to Kean, you are coming to a special place that is tied to the history of coffee in The O.C. Needless to say the coffee is roasted in-house and is excellent. I always buy an oatmilk latte here, and the coffee taste is deep and aromatic. Definitely one of the best in Orange County for the pure quality of its coffee. For Orange County, the location has a nice community vibe. Eclectic mix of tables, but there aren't always enough of them, so it always seems packed. Staff are always extremely nice. Appreciating the history, great coffee, and community feel is one thing, but you should know in advance that they do not offer wifi here. That is my only complaint and the only reason this gets a 5 and not a 4 star. I suppose if they want to maintain a certain vibe they don't want people working there, but I would be happy even with a one-hour time limit on wifi usage.

The portions across the board are generous, high-quality, and worth every penny.  As you can see from my previous review, their chicken katsu is one of my faves.

There is a kiosk available from 9:30 to 5 pm, where you can now order and pay for their katsu items. I believe the Chicken Katsu Curry was around $17.99. You need to show the receipt when they call your name. I also picked up a couple of sandwiches. The Tuna Butter Roll hits the spot for a quick, comforting lunch. It is packed with creamy tuna, cucumber, and tomato slices--at just around $3.50, it's an incredible value.
