    Was really hoping their matcha would be good since it seems like they specialize in matcha. We got the flight and a Pandan matcha. It's so sad to say that none of the matcha drinks stood out, it was from bad to decent. I got the banana, strawberry, mango and lychee. Best one was prolly lychee then mango and strawberry. The banana matcha was horrible couldn't taste the banana at all. I'm not sure if because I got the flight and the ratio was off or what but wouldn't be back here. The drinks looked pretty tho and the interior was cute. They have A LOT of matcha options which made it hard to pick which one they really specialize in.

    I swear I thought I've left a review before but ig not. Vivot is probably somewhere in my top 15 matcha spots? They have plenty of seating and the matcha is good. I've had all the matcha on their menu and I love their matcha maniac. I haven't had their flights yet but someday.. maybe. The service is lacking sometimes, but on the bright side, they have 2 self serve kiosks if you have social anxiety. Store is usually clean too :)

    My friends and I wanted to try this place out because of all the hype it had for the matcha drinks on TT, and we did just that! Stepping in, the shop shows a very modern and chic design. It's clean and has a good amount of seating. The cafe is located near CSUF, so I'm sure students frequent the place to hangout, study, or grab a drink. The wait time was decent, and staff was friendly. You can also watch the matcha being whisked and poured at the pick up area. I ordered the og matcha latte. I honestly thought it was decent. Nothing super amazing. I'd probably try a different drink if I decide to go back there.

    This coffee shop can be a little hard to spot from the street since the signage isn't very noticeable, but parking is available behind the building. The atmosphere is casual with a natural, minimalist vibe. There are plants throughout the café, which adds a nice touch to the space. However, some of the plants looked like they could use a bit more care, and the café itself didn't feel as clean or well maintained as it could be. Despite that, the shop seems quite popular, with a steady flow of customers coming in throughout the day. Their signature drinks are the matcha-based lattes, and they offer a wide variety of flavors. On this visit, I ordered the Vietnamese coffee. It was very strong, rich, and sweet. The prices are a little on the higher side, but the drinks are unique and well made. One minor complaint is the to-go cups. They feel quite thin and flimsy, and I found myself being extra careful when carrying my drink because it didn't feel very sturdy. Customer service was good overall, and the staff were pleasant to interact with.

    Matcha Cookie
    Beatriz A.

    Matcha was ok (I had better) but the cookie!!! The cookie tasted like nacho cheese (so odd but seriously! Would not have expected it to taste awful) would not recommend that one.

    Craving matcha turned into a mild parking obstacle course near California State University, Fullerton, because apparently the real challenge is fitting your car into a space designed for a bicycle with confidence issues. Inside Vivot, it's giving "finals week survival zone" with students glued to laptops, one brave employee running the entire operation, and a self-order kiosk doing its best emotional support role. We kept our Matcha Latte classy, 25% sweetness with oat milk to really interrogate the matcha and honestly it passed the vibe check!! Smooth, solid, and worth the parking gymnastics. Oh and also, they are open late, closes at 11pm week nights and midnight on weekends.

    Blueberry Matcha Latte (not stirred)
    Erika L.

    Definitely a TOP TIER MATCHA place! Super busy at night - every single table was full! There is a lot of INDOOR seating here but no outdoor seating. The have restrooms here which is nice & accommodating! LOTS OF DIFFERENT FLAVOR OPTIONS - from Jasmine to ube, mango to banana, and more! It was all delicious and well made! Lots of yummy, unique bakery items as well. We got the matcha cloud flight (jasmine, ube, strawberry and banana) as well as the Blueberry Matcha Latte. Each of them was delicious - but the blueberry was by far my favorite! 10/10! We got 100% sweetness and the flavors balanced well with the matcha. I would definitely return here when I'm craving a matcha!

    Matcha Flight, Tamago Sandwhich, Ube Mochi Brownie
    Sindy A.

    3.5 Stars! It's a decent spot to hang out at. We ordered the Matcha Flight, Tamago Sandwhich, Ube Mochi Brownie. When you get the flight, you're limited to just Matcha with flavored foam (cloud). We chose Ube, Strawberry, Banana, and Sticky Rice. Our favorite was the Banana then Ube, while the strawberry and Sticky Rice didn't really taste like much. The brownie was really good though and it came warm. Sandwich was also pretty good and had a nice ratio of tamago. Service was just okay, the staff didn't greet us or help us even though we stood at the counter for a few minutes because they have self order screens. We had to flag them down to take our orders since the self order screens didn't have the matcha flight option.

    Pink coconut matcha $8-9 (incl tax)

    This is THE place to go for matcha. They have a matcha flight so you can try different flavors! They def have a fun menu, including non-caffeinated options. They also have milk substitutions at no cost, except something called Japanese soy milk $0.50. They also offer coffee. There are a lot of tables inside. Even on a Saturday night, many of them were occupied by people with laptops. It's great they close late (11PM). Parking is on the street, can find 2 hour spots for free WiFi is free Bathroom available No outside seating Order by kiosk with credit card/apple pay only

    Super cozy vibes here. It's giving cafe/let's chill and study. I'm here from Fresno and is visiting family, my cousin-law recommend trying this place. Located facing street, you can find some parking in the back parking lot. The order: I got a few items and honestly honestly, pretty darn good. They whisk the matcha here and it looks like matcha is their highlight items. Very popular. You can order at the self ordering kiosk , pick your matcha level , sweetness etc. It took about 15 mins for all my drinks to come out. I like that they tape off the opening of the drink if you take it to-go to limit spillage. No complaints here, great tasting drink and will come back when opportunity arises.

    Matcha flight
    Brian T.

    Avoid getting the matcha flight. Tastes nothing like their regular drink and seems like the ratio is off for the flight. Each one of them were milk heavy and wasn't cold enough. The cream was ok but the milk was too much. Ordered via kiosk and got drinks pretty quick. The matcha pandan was surprisingly balanced. Usually the panda flavor is too strong. The blueberry lavender matcha had a sweet lavender flavor with bits of blueberry. Busy matcha shop with decent amount of seating. Parking on streets for free or parking lot nearby with $5 flat rate.

    Matcha Hojicha
    DanQuynh B.

    Upbeat vibes, service was quick and direct. Busy place, quite a few people studying around. Cute decorations around the store, ample seating. We got the matcha and Hojicha einspanner. To me, the matcha wasn't as intense as I'd hoped it would be, perhaps a little diluted? It felt somewhat creamy but didn't feel rich in flavor. Overall, it is a decent matcha drink and in the future I'd come back to try other drinks. My friend seemed to enjoy her Hojicha einspanner however!

    Anjelica R.

    My coworker brought me here to try a matcha for the first time! Coffee is my favorite drink so I knew it was going to be tough for Vivot to win me over. I got a matcha and a delicious cookie. The matcha was good, but it just doesn't hit the same way a coffee does . You could tell that the ingredients were high quality and the baristas were skilled. This place was pretty popular. There was a good sized queue and there are tablets to place your order on. The baristas are nice and friendly. The look of the inside of the shop gives clean girl and plant girl. Lots of white and airy brightness. If I can get myself to become a matcha fan in the future, I would definitely come back!

The design of the space is clever---there are bench seats along the wall, long tables in the middle, and small circle tables on the sides. It's efficient and maximizes seating without feeling cramped or crowded. It's also an East-facing shop so it's shady--- even at 3 PM it was nice and cool inside. There are also some outlets! I would definitely study here if I was in the area. Gabe was really friendly, and helped me choose a great latte. I bought the Single Origin Okumidori Matcha iced latte, and it was the perfect level of sweetness. I didn't even have to adjust the level by some percentage; the standard blend is fresh, with just enough sugar to accent rather than overpower the beautiful matcha flavor. Huge shoutout to Gabe and the Little Ox Coffee staff!!!!
