    Great service. The person greeted us and was super kind. The strawberry puree is homemade. Love it. The matcha is creamy even with the almond milk. It's brand new inside. Only opened for two weeks. No signage yet. But looking forward to all the things coming. Like a dinner menu and happy hour coming in the next few months.

    Great food and coffee!. Easy and convenient. The burger is a solid choice. I'm glad that there is finally a good place to eat close by.

    [Update 8/16/26] My third visit to Airoma Cafe in FV was a pleasant surprise to see that they made…read moreimprovement to their food safety handling of the cups since my last visit. From my observation, the cups were no longer stacked inside of one another; rather, placed side by side on the counter and picked up like that to the back kitchen to be filled. THANK YOU to staff/management who perhaps read my review concerning food safety issues and made the change to safeguard customers' health. Despite the price increase on their Double Matcha ($8), I can now recommend Airoma FV to my friends who are matcha fans.

    I've tried both the Matcha Pandan and Matcha Einspanner and honestly you can't go wrong with…read moreeither. The matcha here is strong, rich, and earthy and actually tastes like matcha instead of getting lost underneath all the other flavors. But the Matcha Pandan is THE drink for me. I most definitely think Airoma makes the best matcha pandan in town and honestly, I don't think there's a true competitor. It is definitely on the sweeter side with a stronger pandan taste, but you can still distinctly taste both the pandan and matcha. The pandan is creamy and fragrant and pairs SO well with the earthiness of the matcha. The Matcha Einspanner is also SO good. The cream is thick and creamy, but the matcha underneath is strong enough to hold its own. You still get that earthy matcha flavor even with the cream, which I really appreciate. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly and the drinks come out fast. Definitely one of my favorite matcha spots in OC. But if you're only getting one thing here, GET THE MATCHA PANDAN.

I loved the large painting on the wall depicting the rugged old west with a cow boy having a cup of coffee by the fire in the mountains. They have Different types of seating arrangements. The interior is modern with a comfortable lighting scene and wrap around floor to ceiling windows. They also have a large patio with more seating. I also noticed a fire place and a Television outside. Aside from their great coffee and Tea menu, they offer daily pastries, refreshments, small bites and coffee bean bags to go. I had the Horchata Latté with oat milk (available hot or cold). It was really good. It is made with 2 shots of their signature espresso with a house-made horchata syrup or base, steamed or iced milk, and a dusting of cinnamon. You could taste the quality of the coffee. It was really good. The coffee was a little strong. The service was great and prices are average. I really enjoyed hanging out in their shop with friends. They have several locations. I highly recommend Moon Goat Coffee Roasters.

This place was packed with a bunch of people studying or hanging out and it just shows how nice and well liked this place is. The service was also good, a very chill staff. I think that for this area being close to UCI, it gets a lot of points for being a solid study spot with charging ports, a clean environment, and good tables. As far as their menu goes they have very interesting drink options which makes you want to come and try a lot of them! I definitely think this place is worth visiting.

    Fast service, staff is great, loved the energy inside the cafe and ordered with a kiosk…read more My matcha tasted very subtle, light and fresh. Came here during my lunch break the lines can get busy, but the drinks come out quickly.

    Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way
