Blk Dot Coffee

A coffee shop that specializes in Vietnamese coffee? Sign me up!We love our coffee strong and sweet, and so this spot has become a regular weekly visit for us. We usually get:Iced VTM - Perfect. No notes. They usually pre-make this too, so it comes out really quick.VTM Matcha - mixing matcha with coffee is pretty rare, but it's such a good combo. I will say that the matcha flavor is definitely at the forefront here, but you can still feel that caffeine kick from the coffee. And sometimes we get the breakfast sausage bowl. This is great but incredibly filling. Easily can feed 2 people. Note that they make this from scratch, so it will take some time. But the reward is you get good quality food as opposed to reheated items from the mainstay brands. Everything is made well too: potatoes, egg frittata, etc.My only ask is to try and introduce other food items! It may look like they have a wide menu, but it's mostly the same 5 or so ingredients packaged in a different way.

I ordered a matcha latte at BLK dot coffee, my $7 drink was practically just a giant block of ice--basically paying for $4 worth of actual drink. I chalked it up as a one-time mishap, but after trying a mango green tea and encountering the exact same problem with a stingy amount of chia seeds and toppings, my frustration hit a new level. Why even offer iced menu items if you're going to drown them in ice? This isn't just a minor error; it's a systemic issue that screams of optimizing revenue than customer satisfaction. We deserve drinks that are worth the price, not a watered-down disappointment every time.

Such a cute coffee shop. As soon as you walk in you get the feel of a modern coffee shop. What surprised me was they had a version of Vietnamese coffee here. A regular was $6 which is not too pricey! If you're looking to work here, it is a bit loud inside with music playing, but they do have outlets as well!Staff was super friendly with explaining interesting menu options as well!

This place was pretty crowded with people waiting for their beverages when we walked in, but surprisingly there were barely anyone on the line so we got to order really quickly. We tried the Vietnamese coffees and it came out really quick! It seemed that it was already premade and they just poured that into a cup with ice and called my name. Their Vietnamese coffee is strong but it does its job! The place is really cute, but they do have limited seats/tables. I took the coffees to go while walking around the Irvine Spectrum.

We tried the one in Orange and that had a seating area but not this one inside the Irvine Spectrum. We just finished dinner at Little Sister (delicious) and wanted coffee to go and found this place.Service - goodDrinks - SeaSalt Jasmine tea (recommended by barista) actually good with the sea salt foam on top. I tried the foam before shaking and mixing and actually good Hot Spanish latte - good and did the trick in keeping me awake on my 80 mile drive home They use good beans, I can tell (we roast our own coffee at home) compared to the ubiquitous Sbux so spend a little and try this coffee and enjoy your cup of joe !

I stopped by here to get some hot tea. I was going to get the Thai Tea, but the cashier kindly informed me that the tea order couldn't be unsweetened due to the creamer. Instead, I got the Uji Matcha latte - no additional toppings like the lychee jelly or boba which were an additional $1. The baristas were very friendly, but we did go on a Sunday around 3 PM so it was extremely busy. They have the option of ordering online which would be ready in 15-20 minutes but we decided to just order in line. It was pretty crowded so it's not a sit down type of ambiance. If waiting inside, would recommend some crowd guidance since it was hard to stand and navigate to get to your drink.The Uji Matcha was tasty and the Matcha flavor was strong and creamy. I got my drink unsweetened, but there was still a slight sweetness to it. Parking at Irvine Spectrum is always tough but at least it's free!

I thought the coffee was quite incredibleI got the Spanish latte with it milk (contains housemade condensed milk)It was smooth not too sweet and the cinnamon added a great warm note The place is crowded though. Went on a Sunday afternoon and there was a line Two people cut in front of us because it wasn't really clear where the line starts or ends. Maybe fix the barriers? Also we weren't given coffee sleeves. Had to grab them ourselves I know they're busy but the extreme crowds inside and outside took away from the experienceThe cashier was really friendly and kind He took time to explain things on the menu too even though he was busyThe service and coffee make up for the long wait, crowds and line cutters though

Wonderful spot for a pick me up coffee and the pastry options are great too! They are well known for the Vietnamese coffee which is yummy and strong! Staff is always nice!

Great spot to grab a quick Vietnamese coffee while at the spectrum. They also have a light version which is espresso base and dairy free creamer instead of condensed milk and a black version with no creamer but original base. They have a small patio outside and plenty of other options too. They do put quite a lot of ice and state on the menu that if you ask no ice it'll be the same amount but flavor was good. Service was nice and quick.

Yelp says this location is temporarily closed until next year, but this cafe was surprisingly opened when I passed by it! So somewhat confused about the notice, but happy that they're opened! Very limited outside seating (no inside seating). There is free wifi available! Employees were friendly and provided fast service. The espresso was very good and strong, but the drink was pretty sweet from the caramel. I would ask for less syrup if you prefer less sweeter drinks! Overall, a pretty good coffee shop that's more for grab and go rather than working/studying! I would def still recommend to people and will want to try their vietnamese coffee drinks!
