Blk Dot Coffee

"The Vietnamese Iced coffee is perfect. It's a balanced blend of sweet and bitter. Strong as well, not sure how much caffeine it has but it has gotten me through the day plenty of times. Fast service, I got my coffee in less than 3-5 minutes."

"This makes me sad to write, however I think my experience is important here. I've come into this location roughly 7 times over the past couple weeks. my first couple drinks and experience were great, however it went downhill after that. After my initial experience, the baristas have always behaved as if they were tired or were simply just rude. Being civil isn't that hard and I treated them with kindness and experienced none in return. The drinks were also...not great. I've worked as a consultant in specialty coffee for over 5 years and it sucks to say that this place served me drinks that were far too hot with shots that were consistently over-extracted (i.e "burnt"). With some training and better management (and staff likely) this place could be a gem. However it's not. Blk Dot, I had high hopes for you- I"ll return in a couple months and hopefully things are better:)"

"Service: 10/10, quick, nice and asked to warm up croissant for me. Pastry/Croissant: 8/10 amazing almond croissant. I wanted 2 however they only had 1 left. Not many food item choices. Coffee: 8/10 good taste, very hot, didn’t have choice to have Latte served in a mug when dining in. Location: 7/10 nice clean location tucked away in the corner. Weird that a corner bakery was maybe 50 steps away. Ambience/View: 8/10 beautiful fountain outside with outdoor seating in clean, Irvine, California. Menu: 8/10 a lot of coffee drink choices but not many pastry/ breakfast food item choices. Price: 9/10 good value for the hot coffee"

"I have gone to and loved blk dot for over a year now, probably ordered the CAB 10+ times, and have always had a pleasant experience. That said, today I ordered from a younger gentleman at the blk dot location at the marketplace in Tustin. He was very friendly on the phone, but in person when I picked up my food, 1/4 of the bagel was missing cream cheese. When I politely asked him about it, he said he would have to charge $2.25 for cream cheese, even withstanding the fact that it should come that way considering we’ve never had an issue before and paid almost $11 per bagel + a $5 tip. I then proceeded to say I’ve ordered the cab many times before and never had the issue and he shrugged his shoulders and walked away very dismissively. I am left feeling very dissatisfied with two bagels ($25+) that had a majority of the cream cheese missing and a bad experience. I’m very disappointed…"

"I'm a Vietnamese coffee fa-na-tic.... I've only found brew worthy of drinking in one place, but Blk Dot now makes #2!! The coffee was amazing, there's a ton of different options, plus you can get your coffee in a convenient bottleso you don't have to carry a cup around all day OR you can put it in the fridge and enjoy it later. I had to cut mine with just a bit of water because it was really rich, but that is totally worth it because they've nailed the taste and the smoothness perfectly. I didn't get to try the avo toast, if it's anything like the coffee its knock out amazing. The shop has a really great vibe. Lots of people were studying while enjoying their brew and the price was reasonable. Swing in and try it out for yourself!!"
