    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.

    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)

    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!

    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

    GOING HERE AGAIN. This is my favorite matcha spot hands down. It's so good, rich and creamy taste with a strong matcha taste as well. The place is so neat and organized. I love their little frames with word definitions as it adds to the simplicity. It's a very simple but modern look with lots of small greenery here and there. Service was very efficient which kept the line going. Their matcha flight looks awesome so i'll be trying that next! Parking is a little hard however as I had to park on the curbside of the street, very limited parking. You would most likely have to park a little bit down from Vivot and then walk over, but it's not too far.

    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!

    Ube, matcha, strawberry, vanilla

    I recently came back here with some friends and loved it all over again! The matcha was sooo good. We got two of the matcha flights, the Sweet Top flight and the Fruit flight and honestly, such a great deal. You basically get to try almost all of their matcha drinks, and it's crazy because they still have even more options. My favorites were definitely the strawberry matcha and the vanilla soft top matcha both were so good. The space is pretty big with lots of seating, but it does fill up quickly, so it can be a little hard to find a spot sometimes. That said, there are plenty of seating areas with chargers, which is a huge plus if you want to come here and get some work done. I also love that they close pretty late, so you have plenty of time to grab a drink, some food, and just hang out. The staff are super friendly too, and they don't rush you at all, which makes it such a nice place to relax and enjoy your time.

    Chicken pesto sando & Tamago egg sando
    Victoria G.

    Self order kiosk at the front. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 1030am and thankfully no line. There's honestly no cons I can think of for Vivot. The high reviews are accurate because their matcha is really delicious, smooth AND aesthetic. I got the strawberry matcha latte & hub got the blueberry matcha. No complaints. They use high-quality matcha that doesn't taste powdery and the fruit purées are balanced well so it's not overwhelming. The strawberry matcha loaf was also good! Not too sweet which is always a great compliment for a baked item. What surprised me more is how frickin amazing their tamago (egg) sando is!! Pretty filling portions. Highly recommend it over the pesto chicken sando.

    As the ultimate, self-claimed, matcha enthusiast, this was a huge disappointment. I got the einspanner & tamago sando. Matcha was good quality but felt really watered/ creamed down. I like my matcha bitter and grassy (like real matcha) and felt the einspanner had too much cream. Would be interested in trying the double or just the latte. Tamago sando was yummy but WAY too much bread and not enough egg. The bread was overwhelming. Went on a 8am weekday and I was the only one there. Street parking available right outside but very limited!

    Left to right: plain matcha, Pandan milk matcha, eispanner with horchata foam
    Victoria V.

    It took me so long to try this and as a matcha lover I regret it! The menu is HUGE which I love there's so many flavors you can't really find somewhere else. We came late afternoon on a Saturday and it wasn't too packed, we got seating and waited maybe 5 minutes for our drinks. My favorite was the Pandan milk matcha, it had a great balance of flavors without being overly sweet. Their plain matcha less sweet was good for someone who doesn't love sweet stuff. The eispanner with horchata cloud was good too once you mix it all in which I definitely recommend!

However, I recommend parking in their parking lot, in the back. That way, you get a view of the garden before you place your order. It's still nice in the front, very welcoming. You walk through the gate, up the stairs, and through the front door. It's nicely air conditioned inside. Indoor seating looks like someone's dining room. The counter is near the back, on the left hand side. I grabbed a menu to take a look before I ordered. Food items listed on one side of the menu, and so many drink options on the other side. Little overwhelming. Too many choices. Coffee and non-coffee drinks. Although they offer paninis and avocado toast, I ordered a regular spicy pork cupbap ($15) and Dubai chocolate latte, iced ($7.75), paid at the counter, and received a pager. When the pager started buzzing, I went inside to pickup my order. My drink was basically a dessert in a cup. Absolutely delicious. So many wonderful ingredients on top. The spicy pork cupbap is spicy. I mixed it all up like I would any bibimbap. It consisted of white rice, glass noodles, red cabbage, pork, and a perfectly fried egg on top. Delicious. They offer a large size, but regular is more than enough. I decided to sit outside, in the back, to get the full garden experience. Although Fullerton is a little warm in June, the garden is absolutely wonderful. It's like sitting in someone's backyard, but on steroids. You shouldn't have trouble finding a spot to sit. There are so many tables and chairs, all over the place, around every corner: In the main garden, in the garden in front, on both sides of the cafe, on both porches, the one in the back and smaller one in front. It's a garden of Eden, with a large, fruitful lemon tree standing in the center. Green plants and trees all over the place, flowering plants and succulents. There's a large gazebo and umbrellas to shade you from the sun. Fun, whimsical displays throughout the garden, including bird houses, curated displays, and miniature communities. Service was welcoming and efficient. I highly recommend this cafe if you're looking for a nice outdoor garden to eat, drink, and hang out.
