I had heard about this place from a friend, and it did not disappoint! White Sparrow Coffee lives up to the hype. Located in Old Town Tustin, this coffee shop has a cozy, welcoming indoor space with a mini-market next door. I tried Love on the Weekend since it was recommended for first-timers, and I thought it was good! No complaints. There wasn't too much of a wait on a Saturday morning. Plenty of parking outside. I'll definitely return to try their other lattes. read more

It was my first time at White Sparrow and it did not disappoint. Their blueberry matcha was so delicious I could get one everyday and not be sick of it. The workers were super friendly and the drink came out fairly fast. The interior is pretty small with limited seating but it's located in downtown Tustin so you can walk around afterwards. I can't wait to try their other drinks! read more

Another great experience here! They own the space next door now so there's a cute little market with some goodies to pick up while you wait for your coffee. I noticed they offer more outdoor seating now too. Very friendly and quick service. Their hot vanilla latte is my go-to and is very good. Til next time! read more

Hands down, the best coffee I've had in the OC!!!!! White sparrow has been on my list for months but when I go there is always a line. I finally went with my partner on a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly there was no line. We both ordered from the fall lineup. My partner got the Apple autumn beans which was okay, he liked it but agreed mine was way better. I got the pumpkin horchata and holy cow, it was incredible. Tasted exactly like pumpkin and horchata. I want to go back before it's gone! The place itself is small but we were able to grab a seat outside. Go check it out yourself! read more

My friend and I were wandering the area and were happy to stumble into this coffee shop! We've heard of White Sparrow from mutual friends, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it while we were exploring. Located in downtown Tustin, it's a small shop with limited indoor seating but some tables outside, too. There's street parking available but it does get busy on the weekends. They also sell their own beans. The workers are friendly and knowledgeable. I was also impressed with just how quickly I received my order! I went with the iced vanilla latte. I wasn't expecting to be blown away but it truly was delicious! The coffee was smooth and the flavor was prominent but not overpowering. My friend got a decaf shaken not stirred and it was also delicious. I usually don't like any drinks with cinnamon but the subtle kick of it in her drink was perfect. read more

4++ Small coffee shop located in the downtown area of Tustin. A menu carries a lot of classic coffee drinks as well as some of their creative stuff as well. I was in the area wanted my caffeine fix so I found this place and decided to stop by. The service was friendly and efficient. It almost is like a coffee stand because the room is so tiny, but there are a few seats that you can sit at. Most people just grab their coffee and walk around the downtown area. I ended up getting a Horchata latte because it looked really fun. It even came with a tiny Santa hat because it was around the holidays. I thought the latte was very tasty. Because it is the downtown area and I wasn't too familiar. I did have to park about a block away. Not a big deal it's just that this area could get busy with all the different businesses and people on an early weekend morning. read more

WHITE SPARROW COFFEE is found in this really charming area of Tustin where, I'm sure, you'll be able to find the perfect brunch spot with your girlfriends, grab coffee from here at WHITE SPARROW, and walk through one of the flea markets on a Saturday morning. On our visit, there was a line to get in and order. There are several tables inside and outside if you wanted to enjoy your coffee sitting down. But there is also a courtyard/parking lot behind the shop and a flea market is going on. This is not the flea market that I grew up with, FYI. There was a DJ blasting awesome music, a mid-century living room set up (for esthetics?) and several vendors. One of which was making custom hoodies. Their CORTADO is strong, creamy and delicious. Their LAVENDER MATCHA was surprisingly awesome. The lavender and the matcha were well balanced and didn't overpower each other, as I feared. The HOT LATTE is not milky. LEMONADE is delicious. The cashier was patient, the barista worked very fast -- and was still accurate. read more

I absolutely love this cafe!! My usuals are love on the weekend and a spanish latte. Both are very good and tasty. I usually get it with almond milk instead of whole. The matcha is also very good, they're matcha powder is quality matcha. During the summer they offer special drinks like a mango matcha or other top hitters. The line has been slightly long depending what time you arrive but they move quick and efficiently. Parking is super easy to find unless you go on a weekend it might be harder since a lot of people will be out and about. I tend to have my coffee outside since they have a couple tables available to sit. I've also always had a great interaction with the workers there, always very friendly and conversational. I've never had the actual pastry's but they seem very yummy and delicious. I would recommend white sparrow to those that haven't had it yet and want to try a yummy coffee spot. Forgot to add that there is a lot to do if you don't want to have the coffee outside like walk around, shop, have some lunch, or even a bookstore across the street. They recently added a next door location to buy some refreshments and small items. 5/5 location for me read more

White Sparrow is located in old town Tustin. They were bustling on a cold and wet Monday morning. They have a compact menu with a nice line up of unique specialty drinks. Their lavender syrup is house made but on this occasion I tried the Madagascar vanilla bean latte + cinnamon. I essentially remade their specialty drink "Love on the Weekend" to a less sweet version. The coffee had a nice balance roast. They used my reusable cup, which I love since some places don't do that. Their pastries are from a bakery in Long Beach and they look tasty. I asked a lot of questions and they were very nice in answering. Casual. Limited indoor seating but I can see some potential for outdoor seating on a warm summer day. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Eeek, the yuzu matcha tonic is quite cloyingly sweet. :( Good thing I took a sip of the matcha layer first before mixing it all in as the matcha itself has a nice smooth grassy taste to it. Such a bummer that all of the sugar masks almost all of the great matcha taste. The shaken not stirred drink is way better. Reminds me a lot of Cinnamon Toast Crunch leftover milk haha. Silky-milky drink; not much coffee taste though. Ultimately I'd say it's a crowd pleaser. Very friendly ladies holding the fort at the time (especially the lady with the glasses and blonde braids; super sociable!). I visited on a Wed afternoon. Steady flow of 6-7 people in the ordering line at the time. Street parking spaces were all taken; much easier to park in the dedicated Old Town Tustin lot (follow the street signs to get there as the lot is kinda hidden). read more

Very small, cute cafe. Mostly for grab and go coffee and pastries. Only street parking available. The staff here have been friendly, helpful and welcoming for most of my visits. I will say that there was one incident when it was quite busy, which was understandable, but my name wasn't called when my drink was made. I wanted to make sure I wasn't taking anyone else's drink so I asked if it was mine and the employee replied as if it should've been obvious. Other than that one incident, I've had pleasant experiences. I mostly enjoy their seasonal drinks, such as the stroop waffle, ho ho horchata and fireside. All were creamy and flavorful. However, their matcha can improve. I've tried their lavender matcha but the lavender and matcha were VERY light almost as if I was just drinking a light vanilla latte. I like my matcha strong and bold. Also, it can be quite misleading that they don't have their prices on the menu. So be prepared to spend a lot of money here. Otherwise, it's a nice place to visit if you want to indulge yourself in a nice coffee and pastry. read more

Cute aesthetic coffee shop in Tustin. They have a mini store attached. There is some seating inside and outdoor tables available. They have a lot of unique seasonal flavors. What we ordered: - Blueberry lavender: The coffee taste was really rich and tasty. The lavender was really strong, and there was a hint of blueberry. The latte is more on the sweeter side. - House matcha: Matcha was decent, but not that strong in matcha flavor. The vanilla is strong. read more

What a cute little coffee shop in Old Town Tustin! The interior is clean and minimalistic with a few spots for seating. My friend and I ordered a bunch of drinks as we were grabbing coffee for a large group. Our server was kind to let us know which drink was which because there were so many LOL. My order was the Love on the Weekend Latte with oat milk and it was gooooooood. I love honey and this drink was perfectly creamy and sweet. I tried my friend's matcha latte and it was just okay. The matcha flavor wasn't as strong as we desired. Would still highly recommend their coffee, though! read more

finally visited this lovely coffee shop in old town tustin! I got the matcha yuzu tonic half sweet and it was sooooo refreshing!! normally i stay away from matcha drinks that have fruity aspects to it bc i like to appreciate the matcha flavor on its own, but i got this one bc i was SO thirsty and desperately needed a refreshment~ and im so glad i ended up picking this bc it was reallllllly good it had a subtle matcha flavor that mixed well with the yuzu tonic! when mixed together, its like a sparkling yuzu lemonade with a hint of matcha my friend got the hojicha and i had a sip! it was also really good!! light and nutty and not heavy at all~ amazing drinks over here :) service was so good~ the worker who took my order was really sweet and nice! A+ for customer service bc that is honestly hard to come by nowadays inside has some seating though it is pretty limited but most people sit there while they wait for their drinks (at least when i visited) would come back again to try their other drinks! their seasonal menu looked really good but they were sold out when we got there so it means i have to go early next time ;) read more

I was in the area one Saturday and wanted an almond milk latte ahead of lunch. Finding parking wasn't too bad, but once at the front door, it was definitely crowded. The indoor area wasn't too big and had some seating, but given the crowds, we just grabbed our drink and left. Although it was crowded, the order line moved quick and the drinks came out relatively quickly. My latte was rich and creamy and satisfied my caffeine needs. But a drink that surprised us was their Yuzu matcha tonic. The tonic was bright and refreshing and the matcha's earthiness provided a nice balance to the lemonade. Just remember to fully mix the drink before diving in. Overall, a solid place. read more

Modern artisan coffee shop in downtown Tustin. We always have to try the Spanish Latte first, and both the hot and iced are perfection! I do however prefer the hot, even on a warm day. There's also a good selection of pastries. I will have to try the almond croissant next time. It's all street parking, but you might be able to find a spot right in front of the door. We will definitely be coming back here for our next cup of Joe. read more

This cafe is located in downtown Tustin and was very packed on a Monday afternoon. All the indoor and outdoor seat was taken with a short line but everything moved pretty quickly. The place was clean and bright but since it's so small, I think it's better suited for grabbing drinks with a friend rather than studying/working. I ordered the House Matcha and I opted to add cold foam. The barista let me know they had both a strawberry and vanilla cold foam so I went with the strawberry. There are no prices posted on the menu I was looking at so I was surprised when the base drink came out to $7.50 and the cold foam ended up being an extra $2.00, bringing my total to a hefty $9.50 (without tip). Definitely a steep price for a standard 16 oz so please be aware. As for the drink itself, they put the vanilla cold foam instead of the strawberry but it's possible I ordered it wrong and I didn't mind sticking to the vanilla. I'm sure they would have fixed it if I spoke up because the baristas were super nice. I'm pretty picky with matcha and unfortunately, I found this one to be very underwhelming. The drink felt pretty watered down and didn't really taste like matcha to me. I was a bit disappointed because this place was busy and getting high reviews. Overall, not sure I'd come back, especially for the price and quality but I think every cafe is worth trying at least once so don't let this deter you! read more

Although they were steady busy, my latte came out quick. The staff seemed nice as well. Their menu is really cutesy where almost everything sounded delicious. I opted for my go to: lavender latte with almond milk. There is only one size and I paid $7, which to me feels like a steal at this point. It was great! Pretty coffee art as well. I did wander through the market to the left but nothing really piqued my interest. It's small inside. I'd grab my coffee to go here. read more

Was in the area and stopped by with my mom and dog. It has some outdoor seating but otherwise cozy. I got an iced vanilla latte with oat and it was delicious! Perfect amount of vanilla and not too sweet. The barista was very friendly despite being busy. I'd love to try the rest of the menu and bring friends here! read more

Small coffee shop, not a lot of indoor seating. Friendly staff. Somewhat of a wait definitely worth the wait. Plenty of options for pastries and drinks. I had a hot love on the weekend. Was delicious would definitely recommend. read more

Every time I drive by White Sparrow it looks so crowded so when I finally decided to visit, I was surprised and not surprised to see how tiny the inside was and understood why everyone is always congregating outside (genius). My first visit convinced me that I have to come here a lot more because they have seasonal drinks and they look fantastic. Their croissant and scone pastries also look enticing. In a way I'm glad I do not work walking distance from here HA! During this visit I had the iced lilikoi matcha lemonade and it was delicious. read more

Needed a matcha pick me up after grabbing lunch around the Old Town Tustin area! I love walking around here and it's nice to see that there's a good cafe in the area. I'm not much of a coffee person so always happy to see matcha as on option so I went ahead and ordered here to try it out. First thoughts, it did satisfy my caffeine cravings. I didn't taste much of the vanilla but that's okay since I still enjoyed the matcha flavor! The person at the register was super friendly and helpful. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla sweetener. They also mentioned having maple and honey. read more

White Sparrow is my top choice for a stellar! hot vanilla latte. It's my most favorite drink (let's be honest, for me, the only drink) from their menu, and my favorite shop so far for a solid vanilla latte. I believe the syrup is made in-house, and the drink has always been consistent! I have always walked away with perfection in a drink. I've recently been assisted by Kayla, one of the baristas, and I want to give kudos to her customer service skills by taking the time to remember my name, spelling my name correctly, and welcoming pleasant, brief conversations. Parking can definitely be an issue in the area, but I have braved this several times for good coffee, and actually go out of my way to come to White Sparrow because it takes me 20 min. to get here without traffic. read more

First time here and it was packed. The line wrapped around the store which is a good sign! I ordered a vanilla latte and blueberry matcha. The matcha was one of the best I've ever had and the latte a good balance of the vanilla and coffee. We also got a pastry which was buttery and flaky. The total was about $22 which is a bit pricey but understandable for a small business. There's not really any place to sit and work it's more of a get your stuff and go place. Everyone was friendly and they got drinks out quick. I'd recommend stopping by if you want some good matcha & to support a small business! read more

White Sparrow Coffee is an awesome local coffee shop located in Old Town Tustin. To get here, there is street parking all around the area. The coffee shop is located right across the street from the Arvida bookstore. Once you get there, the shop is on the smaller side with about 3 tables for seating inside and about 3-4 other tables for seating outside. As for their menu, they have a great selection of different speciality, classic, seasonal, matcha, and tea drinks. Wifey and I stopped by for our weekend coffee run and opted to try the Hojicha Latte and the Lavender Matcha Latte. Both drinks had great flavor profiles with the right balance of sweetness. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our coffee run here. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Come stop by to support and take advantage of being able to walk around and see all of the other cool little businesses within Old Town Tustin! read more

I literally dream of the Hojicha Latte with maple and oat milk. It is the perfect drink to me, nutty, aromatic, and not too sweet, genuinely what dreams are made of! All the baristas working are always super friendly and kind, asking about weekend plans and chatting, and the drinks come out fairly fast despite the business of the cafe. There aren't too many seats inside, but there are a couple tables outside, and the weather in Southern California is usually good enough to enjoy your drink outside. My only complaint is that I wish that they offered to warm up the pastries--I tried the everything seasoning croissant that had cream cheese inside, and it was just okay but could've been deliciously flaky if it was toasted. Overall, one of my favorite coffee shops! read more

By far the best coffee shop I have ever been to. Whenever I am in town I'll met up friends here. The baristas are so kind and so knowledgeable, they also have really good recommendations. They are so good at what they do, the drinks are always amazing! I would love to shoutout every employee for helping to make my morning better. The manager, Ryan, had also been really helpful! The shop is small but cute with some seating inside and more available outside. The line can get long but they move fast! I seriously love it here read more

My family and I ordered about 14 drinks, and the service was phenomenal. The cashier was super helpful and patient with me. Each drink was also very delicious, so they took their time making the drinks rather than rushing it. I would come back here again. The interior is also pretty inside. There's a market that connects to the cafe and is filled with cute random stuff. read more
