    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!

    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.

    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!

    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
    Sky C.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Ube Matcha
    Megan O.

    Came here this morning for matcha and a croissant sandwich. I got the ube matcha at 125% sweet. It was amazing. My friend got the regular matcha and ham&Swiss croissant sandwich and loved them too. The inside and outside are very cute! It's also right in the heart of downtown fullerton so it's such a cute area. Very clean, lots of seating, and just great vibes. The girl making the drinks was so sweet and she made our drinks delicious. Overall, 10/10 on drinks, service, and vibes. I'll definitely be back for more, next time I'll try the matcha flight!

    Hojicha Latte & Mango Matcha
    Danielle P.

    This place was ~alive~ even at 9pm with a line and people studying...I was much intrigued. Such a nice and airy space with plants around -- even ones they are selling. Looots of seating and I can see that this is a great study spot for college students, which I wished I had during undergrad. You order at the single kiosk. Good amount of options from regular tea, boba tea, matcha, and hojicha. They had your einspanner option with that sweet whipped milk foam top and fruit puree at the bottom (mango, strawberry, and raspberry). A hard choice had to be made, but I decided on the hojicha einspanner and my sister opted for the mango matcha. I neeeed that hojicha powder. Great flavor of that nutty "chocolate" profile. Not too rich though with the einspanner balancing out, which was more on the liquidy creamy side than thick. What did throw me off was the cinnamon. The mango matcha was just okay. Couldn't really taste the flavor of the matcha as much, but it had more of a bitterness / sour note... The mango was also just kind of ~there~ Seems like a solid spot. I wouldn't be mad if i studied here and had to drop a bit of a bag to get drinks here due to the lovely ambiance with ample seating!
