The pandan coffee was delicious! Very smooth coffee which paired well with the sweet pandan flavor. I also got the double matcha (very strong, high quality matcha, and creamy) and loved it. We liked that they make all of their drinks with oat milk. We will be back to try more of the menu for sure. Highly recommend!

This was one of the recommended matcha cafes via Reddit's OC thread. So very glad I got to visit this matcha cafe - twice in one day! The only reason for the 2nd visit was the matcha latte I got from another cafe DID NOT COMPARE! (It was from Ced. Sadly, weak matcha taste!) First I got the double matcha and then the matcha einspanner. I wish I lived closer so I can visit Airoma frequently. There was a line around 3 pm on Saturday, waited about 30 mins for my drink which is not a bad wait and TBH it was totally worth the wait! I'm already planning my next visit! I think I will try the pandan matcha latte next. But who am I kidding, I think I will get 2 matcha drinks!

RECOMMEND: Matcha Einspanner Very popular, showed up at 9am and the line was already spilling into the parking, although the workers were very fast and efficient, moving the line within minutes. Although very busy, baristas were patient and kind. No permanent seating unfortunately, only seating for waiting. While the outside looks a little outdated, inside is completely renovated, very pleasant. Waited about 15 minutes for 5 drinks, so don't get discouraged by the long line. Drinks were good, got the Matcha Einspanner, Egg Coffee, and Marble Coffee. All were pretty good, especially matcha einspanner. Only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because they forgot about our 5th drink and had to remake (but it was very busy since it was a holiday so overall can not blame them) 07/04/2025 reviewed

I've been meaning to try Airoma Cafe for a while. We came here on a Monday morning and there was a small line. It moved quickly, 5-10 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. I've driven by on the weekend and the line was wrapping around and much longer. We got 4 drinks to try and they were really good. My favorite was the Matcha Strawberry. I'm looking forward to trying the Matcha Ube next time. I also wanted grass jelly, but they were out. Overall, I enjoyed the drinks and would come back here despite the wait. * Matcha Oat Latte 4/5 - The matcha taste was strong while being smooth at the same time. It was a good matcha drink. However, it wasn't as sweet as the other drinks. I don't like things being too sweet, but in this case, I wish it was a bit sweeter. * Matcha Pandan 4/5 - Good matcha drink, though the pandan flavor was pretty subdued/light. I also got this less sweet unlike the other drinks. If I get this again, I'd just do full sweet. * Matcha Strawberry 5/5 - Definitely mix this drink well. And wow, the matcha is nice, strong, and smooth. The strawberry imparted a nice, fruity taste. There were bits of strawberry also. What I love is that this drink at other places would taste sweet and sour. Here, it was mostly sweet and the flavor profiles blended together very well. * Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea 5/5 - Even though Airoma is more famous for their coffee and matcha, the milk tea was really good. You can really taste the tea flavor. According to my partner, "The drink is not basic, but it doesn't try too hard either."

Tried the matcha Einspanner here! Smooth matcha flavor with just the right creaminess on top. Not too sweet, very refreshing. Definitely recommend if you’re a matcha lover! Never thought matcha could taste this fancy 💚🍵

Let me just say this—Airoma knows what they’re doing. The drinks here are wild in the best way. I had their Matcha Corn Latte and immediately entered my obsessed era. It was giving toasty, creamy, matcha-sweet perfection with a whisper of corn that somehow worked. So naturally, I drove two hours back for another hit… only to find out they discontinued it. Just ripped it off the menu like it never existed. I stood there heartbroken, holding nothing but my cravings and regret. Justice for the matcha corn. I rebounded with the Matcha Pandan and okay, she understood the assignment. Sweet, floral, subtle coconut-y vibes. Not mad at it at all. Now the Banana Coffee… listen. I’ve had better versions. This one felt like the banana milk and the coffee had beef. They just weren’t blending well. Like two coworkers forced to do a group project. You sip it, and you can feel the awkward silence. The line? Long. But fast. You’ll blink and suddenly be at the front holding a $7 drink that tastes like someone’s creative genius in a cup. Overall: Airoma is for the girlies (and guys) who like their caffeine with personality. You’ll find a drink you love, fall hard, and then probably have your heart broken when it’s gone. But isn’t that part of the fun?

Got their double matcha with 25% sugar and it was so good! It has a strong matcha profile, not too bitter and not too sweet. I would definitely come back here :)

Quick, quality, and well-priced drinks to grab while in Westminster! Highly recommend the banana coffee – strong coffee taste with a hint of banana that doesn’t mask the coffee.

First time checking out an Airoma cafe after hearing great things and this spot is so pretty!! It's very luxurious, well decorated, and well kept after. There's a good amount of seating and tables for waiting. The matcha and coffee is delicious! The foam is very rich and gives great texture to the drink. I tried the Vietnamese house coffee, matcha einspanner and marble coffee; all 5/5! Good pricing and happy to come again.

Heads up no seating at this location. They've pushed all their tables and put up the chairs to a corner due to high traffic of guest. They made room for longer lines. If you wanted a matcha date with your girl friends maybe head to their other location on Garden Grove Blvd. They have tons of seating there and location is much bigger. Matcha Pandan -hands down best pandan drink I've had. Pandan shines through the matcha and paired well. Slightly too sweet for my liking but waiting for the ice to melt helped. Pandan Coffee -coffee is great, pandan really worked with the coffee. Would order again! Ube Coffee -it's much more coconut flavor than ube. Didn't expect that since the name didn't include coconut in it. Still a good drink.

This place absolutely worth the hype! The line was about a 20-minute wait when we went but by the time I took my first sip I completely understood why everyone was willing to stand there. The drinks were the best, creamiest matcha I've ever had. The matcha flavor was so good and perfectly whisked. They don't use regular milk. When I asked to use regular milk instead of the oat milk, they said that they make all their drinks with oat milk. And the oat milk really made the drink so much better. It was very creamy and silky and texture and you don't get that type of creaminess with regular milk. We also tried the egg coffee. It wasn't our favorite, but it was definitely interesting. Not something I'd get again but it was worth trying at least once. Between the quality of the drinks, the staff was very friendly. There are no chairs or tables for you to sit.

This place is definitely worth the hype! I tried the ube matcha and pandan matcha and both were amazing in their own way. I could taste both the flavors and matcha very well and it was pretty balanced. I liked the pandan matcha a bit more than the ube, as it felt more refreshing! The drinks came out quick. We were planning to sit down at the tables but they were closed off due to overcrowding of people inside and the landlord warnings so it's not their fault. I would definitely come by again when in the area!

Finally got a chance to try Airoma! We ordered the matcha einspänner and the egg coffee and both were delicious! The matcha was especially good - the cream top was my favorite part. Service was excellent, the line moved quickly, and our drinks came out fast. Super efficient and a great experience overall!

Very strong authentic matcha flavor! I got the matcha einspanner and it was pretty good! Very nice and creamy and the matcha flavor was very potent. I really liked the texture of the cream top. It was super thick and added lots of creaminess to the drink. The drink is super visually appealing as well! Very pretty:) I will say that I think there's a LOT of matcha in it because it's veryyy strongly flavored, which is fine, but the drink ends up being grainy and thick and kind of weird. The graininess was the only downfall though! Solid drink!

I need to do an update on my review because I found out my dislike for pandan is not airoma's issue. With that said, this is one of my fav locations for matchas and coffee currently. This is the BEST place for a matcha eispanner. Few months ago I just learned what the heck is an eispanner and now eispanner is EVERYWHERE. However, Airoma only offer eispanner on their matcha, not their coffee, although I feel their house coffee does have the eispanner cream on top. And it is DELISH! One of these days I need to get house coffee from Da Vien, Viland, Mirakuru, and Airoma and do a taste test at the same time to rate which is the best but until then, I feel like Airoma's house coffee is my fav so far. The cream they have here is thicker and truer on the eispanner defintion. Da Vien's eispanner is on the lighter fluffier side, more like whipped cream. The coffee level is also stronger here I feel and though I never asked, but they offer free shot of coffee if asks. I think they are consistent on both locations but I have a slight feeling this OG place makes their drinks a little bit better!

Their popularity speaks for itself! It can be really busy, so make sure you're not in a rush. I've rarely seen this place without at least a few people in line, even at night. But after trying it, I can see why! So far I've tried their pandan matcha, pandan coffee, and ube matcha. I think my favorite is the pandan matcha (though all are pretty good ). I think their pandan is much more flavorful than any of the other pandan drinks in OC. Their full sweetness is pretty sweet, so be mindful of that when you're ordering. Last I checked, they got rid of the indoor seating at this location, but there is seating at the Garden Grove location. Definitely stop by for a good matcha or Vietnamese coffee!

On my way to Airoma, I contemplated the name Thinking aroma, is thy meaning the same I mean air is essential, so maybe that's the why Like if you don't have AIRoma, you might die That's a little extreme and I might be completely off track Parking, fine (1-hr), didn't seem to lack The area and shop itself was underwhelming, I'd say And the indoor seating was out of commission today The matcha oat latte iced half sweet Solid choice, perfect morning treat!! All the matcha lattes are made with oat milk, in case you wanted to know The creams and such may have dairy though Overall, I would recommend for a to-go drink The other menu items, interesting, I'd be curious what you think xo -Op (There is another location like 12 minutes away... Initially wrote my review for the wrong one. Google will take you here, lol. If you're not paying attention).

My brother recommended Airoma Cafe since I love matcha, and honestly, this is one of the best places I've ever tried. I got the matcha einspanner and the strawberry matcha latte. I've had so many strawberry matcha lattes and usually end up disappointed, but this one was amazing. You can really taste the strong matcha along with one of the best strawberry compotes I've ever had. I went on a random Wednesday around 2 p.m. and it was still crowded. Parking is easy, but the cafe itself is pretty small with no seating available when I went, all the chairs were still stacked on the table. A lot of people were standing around waiting for drinks, which felt a little awkward in such a tight space. There was even a big group blocking the door, even though there's a sign asking not to. The staff is friendly, and I've already told my husband we need to make another trip just so I can try all the drinks from their menu.

Absolutely decadent...the Matcha Einspänner is to DIE FOR. It has taken a big spot in my heart as my favorite matcha drink ever, it genuinely dethrones all the other matcha drinks I've had so far. Definitely perfect for someone who likes it perfectly sweet and creamy; it's the perfect consistency and ratio! Expect this cute and small cafe to always have lines of fans waiting to get their fix. The drinks here are made with such attentiveness and efficiency. The Pandan Coffee is delicious as well. Too bad there are very limited locations of Airoma Cafe but anytime I am in proximity I will definitely try to come here. Thank you to my lovely friend who always takes me here when I visit her in socal!

This place is IT. All the internet hype about this place is well deserved. Came here on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Unfortunately at the time of my visit, the seating area was closed so was not able to sit and chillax - just a grab and go situation. The interior is clean and service was fairly quick. Now... the matcha.... INCREDIBLE. I got the matcha einspanner and it was perfectionnnnn. The drink had the right amount of sweetness without compromising the integrity of matcha quality. No notes, no criticism, this drink is great. COME HERE FOR MATCHA, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

LOVED IT! Line goes by pretty quick, the service was quite impressive. Kudos to the girls working the cashier and the back because it was such a smooth waiting experience. I ordered the pandan and ube coffee and both were wonderful. The ube is very special, thick and rich, and different from other ube coffees I've tried. The pandan lighter in texture and taste but still so pleasant. Would come back again - I have my eye on the matcha eispanner and egg coffee.

I'm not from the area and a family member recommended me Airoma Cafe. I had no clue what to order since I don't usually go to cafes often. The barista working recommended the matcha pandan and the matcha einspanner. It was so good that I ended up going to the second location since I happened to be nearby. I am usually not a huge matcha person because most places make it taste quite plain, and give you a small portion. I can see why there's always a line for these drinks. Wish I had one near me!

The hype is real! Airoma has become my favorite matcha of all time. Not only is the matcha super rich and nutty, but the cream top is perfectly sweet. For around $7, I think you get a pretty generous sized matcha. There's always a wait, but there's plenty of parking in the lot. There's also tables to study or hang out but it seems to always be crowded.

Located within Little Saigon Orange County, Airoma Cafe is a solid spot for your caffeine fix! Craving a classic Vietnamese styled egg coffee, I opted for nonetheless and it left me satisfied. Decent flavor and the creaminess of the egg was just the right touch. And it wasn't overly sweet as requested from the barista which was awesome. While it can be packed on weekends and is quite small inside and limited space-wise, I'll definitely be back.

Usually when you see a line, you would think the food must be really good. That's what I thought after seeing the long line out the door. Parking is free but it's a 1 hour limit. I would say I waited around for 30 minutes in line on a Sunday afternoon. The drinks came out fast after ordering. For both the matcha strawberry and pandan, the matcha flavor was weak despite the bright green color. The strawberry matcha tasted like strawberry milk while it was the same for the pandan drink. No seats inside. They have a sofa in the back near where the restroom is but the left table is wobbly. Overall, if you like your fruit matcha drinks strong then Airoma is not the place for you and definitely not worth the wait. Maybe their original matcha would be better.

Finally was able to come to the OG Airoma Cafe. In most things the original is way better than the new versions. But in this case the original Airoma pales in comparison to the newer Airoma café off of Garden Grove Blvd. First off there is no seating inside this one. They removed it because of the amount of people standing outside in line blocked the traffic flow for the other businesses there, thus they got rid of the tables inside so that the space would be used to form the line. Still there was a bunch of people standing outside some around the parked cars waiting to order or place their order or waiting for their drinks. The line does go quickly. And they do get you your drink quite quickly as well. I ordered their banana coffee. And it was truly amazing. Yes they recommend you completely mix it up first before drinking. But the banana and the coffee flavor worked great together. I love the sweetness of the banana and the strongest of the coffee. The balance was very pleasing. My wife got their matcha ube latte. And it was just as good as the other place. I can see why this place has over 2000 reviews. In my humble opinion they need to either build more Airoma Cafes in and around town, or just expand into the neighboring stores and make it just as spacious if not more spacious then the other Airoma Cafe. Because I'm sure if they do, they would get even more business!!

Quality - check! Value - check! Taste - check! First timers here. Initially tried to order for pickup via their website but it said "Our store is not currently accepting orders." Tried calling in our orders, but no answer even after a few tries. Ended up just driving there. We were kind of in a rush, but luckily there were only a couple ahead of us in line at the time (it quickly started filling up since it was around lunchtime). Parking was pretty busy. Many of the spots in front of the businesses are specific to them so we did have to park on the other side of the plaza which was not a big deal. I asked the girl ringing us up what she suggested between the Matcha Pandan and Matcha Einspanner - she said the latter, so that's what I went with. We also ordered the Egg Coffee. Waited a few min for our drinks but it didn't take too long. Both drinks were delicious in their own rights. They were the perfect mix of flavors, sweetness, and ratios of ingredients. Not to mention, the size of the cup is pretty large and I like that they only offer the one size bc I could drink a whole pitcher if I could lol

Get the banana coffee! Omg the line here is so long. Parking lot is also pretty packed. Compared to when I came here a year or so ago, this place really blew up. I waited around 15-20 mins to order and I ended up getting a banana coffee and pandan matcha latte. I LOVE the banana coffee. The banana flavor is there, balanced with coffee and cinnamon so worth the wait. Sadly pandan matcha was less satisfactory. It just tasted really sweet and I'm not sure it really had enough of matcha or pandan flavor :(. I haven't tried any of their other drinks but I love love love their banana coffee. It's different than all the other banana coffees I've tried with the cream tops, so delish and light yet creamy. There's no more seating inside anymore

I was so excited to finally try this place after wanting to for so long! Luckily, I was in the area! When I tell you this place lives up to the hype, it really does. We came on a weekend, and there were lots of people. There's a variety of tables and spots, and it seems like a nice place to study at. Our drinks came out pretty quickly despite the number of people. I got the Matcha Einspanner, and it was so pretty the way the matcha lines the sides of the cup! I love the presentation of the drink, and I really liked the taste of the cream! The matcha itself was smooth and creamy, and it was strong, which I like. It wasn't too sweet either. My sister said the same thing about the Double Matcha, and it was yummy when I tried hers. Also, something I really like is the size of their drinks. It's generous for the price compared to many other places I've been to, and the quality of their drinks is so good! I would love to come back if I'm ever in the area again, and I really recommend coming! Definitely one of my top fav places!

I was in the mood for a delicious Matcha and Airoma has been on my list for a very long time. Well today was the day. I finally got to try this place to see what the hype was all about. I went in the morning around 9 o'clock, and there was no line and I got my drink right away. Since it was my first time there, I asked the worker there what was the most popular drink and without hesitation she said their Einspanner matcha. After a couple of minutes, my drink came and it looked so pretty and tasted even better. Such a great flavor of matcha without being overly sweet or bitter. Definitely one of the better matcha drinks I've had in a while. I definitely would like the come back to try their strawberry matcha next time. Parking can be tight but it's definitely worth it.

If you love matcha, Airoma's matcha einspänner is where it's at. Perfectly creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. I stop by every time I'm in the area to grab one. The place gets busy fast, so busy they've had to close off their seating area to make room for lines. The vibe is modern with natural wood and light colors, super easy on the eyes, and always clean. I usually go around 10 AM when it's less crowded, but the lines pick up quick. Luckily, they move fast since the drinks are made quickly in the back. Parking's not too bad, even if neighbors try to claim the spots nearby, guess they're happy with all the Airoma traffic! P.S. If Airoma is reading this, I really miss the black sesame matcha--it was amazing and definitely deserves a comeback!

Really good strawberry matcha! The lines are deceptively long and go by quite quickly. The service is nice and there is no indoor seating (presumably because of the large number of customers) The inside is clean and there is plenty of room to stand while you wait. Parking can be a bit tough when it is busy Overall, I would recommend going here!

As much as I want to say something about the clientele here that matches the matcha stereotype, I won't since the last review I did that got flagged. ANYWAYS, there was a line snaked out a bit in front into the cafe, but when we left that line was that snake AND it came out towards the rest of the plaza. The fact that there are WARNINGS on their window saying that the landlord is threatening them due to the crowds and that they removed all of the seating because of it, shows how super popular and busy they are. This is despite a second Airoma being super close by too. Mobile ordering was turned off for the weekend that we went, makes sense as I'm sure they don't want to be inundated into a hellscape. To do this they also only utilize 1 cashier too, so the pick up and staffing/drink creating doesn't become a horrible, chaotic mess. Despite the crowds, it didn't take too long for our drinks to come out. I got their pandan matcha and it's like a smoother, matcha version of the pandan drink at 7 Leaves. Delicious sweet coconut taste of pandan with the earthy, strong authentic matcha. Believe the hype and pray it isn't super fisted when you're here!

Luckily i was able to sneak into here before a crazy line started. I ordered the double matcha and it was sooooo tasty! I'm glad they use oat milk for the lattes. The cost was $8 and it was a very good size latte! I finished my drink so fast, i think it's worth the hype.

I've heard others rave about airoma for a while, and I finally got to try it. It did not disappoint!! It was a Tuesday at 1:10pm that i arrived and there was a line outside. The parking lot isn't very big and it was busy. I waited in line for about 25 min and got their double matcha. Drink came quickly and it was really good. It was creamy and that earthy matcha flavor was there (though I prefer it to be stronger personally). I'm sad that airoma is far from where I live otherwise I would come here often.

One of the best matchas I've had. It's busy here and a popular place. Parking is ok. I ordered a strawberry matcha. It wasn't too sweet. It's a small cafe and no seating area so it's a grab & go.

I was in the area and craving for coffee. This place has very good yelp review, so I decided to stop by. It was a very hot day, and I want something ice cold. There was a line when I got here, and they do not have dine in as I saw all the tables and chair stacked up. I ordered the matcha ube drink. Cashier was friendly and helpful. I got my drink soon after I placed my order. The drink looks very pretty as you can see in my picture. I mixed it and it came out as gray-ish color, not too attractive looking. However, it tasted amazing! The taste of ube and matcha is a perfect combination for summer. It was not heavy. The sweetness of ube balance out the bitterness of the matcha. Price is reasonable and there are plenty of parking spaces. I will come back again!

My current go to for drinking locally. Airoma is a super solid spot and nothing misses. Usually only come here when I have time on the weekdays as there's always a line out the door on the weekends. My go to order is usually the matcha einspanner which definitely is worth its hype. The phoenix oolong is really good too if you've had Orobae and need that reminiscent hit. All the drinks with pandan are pretty good as well.

Really good matcha! There was a super long line in front of the shop but it does go fast. They also make your drinks quick too. I got the strawberry matcha and the matcha einspanner. Both were super good! It's hard to choose one other the other. The strawberries in the strawberry matcha was sweet and makes the drink sweeter which I like. The Einspanner is more matcha with i think matcha foam on top? The matcha tasted better on this one. I still recommend either. Interior is small, and there's no seatings. Parking lot might get hectic since it's not too big either.

It's been about 2 years since I last came here, before this place went viral. I wanted to see what all the new hype was about. Crazy how popular this place has gotten, but I got here in the morning where there was no line, no indoor seating. Tried out the Double Matcha and Marble coffee, no modifications. I like a strong matcha taste and if you do too, the double matcha is the way to go. For me it was a great mix between a strong matcha taste and sweetness. The marble coffee was satisfying too. It is what I expect from a marble coffee. Definitely would come here again to try their other drinks. Double Matcha: 5/5 Marble Coffee: 4/5

We were in the area and need to kill some time, so decided to stop by Airoma for matcha on a friend's recommendation. At the time of our visit, they had signs up explaining that they had to remove seating to make more space for the line, which was previously spilling into and blocking neighboring businesses. So don't come here planning to sit and chat, or get work done. Take-out only, at least for now! I could tell by how long the line was that their drinks would be good. They're pretty efficient though, as the line moved fast, and we got our drinks shortly after placing our orders. Everything on the menu looked so good! I opted for the matcha pandan which had a nice but subtle pandan taste. I normally always get reduced sugar at any drink shop, but decided to order this one as-is, and felt it was just the right balance of sweetness! Will definitely be back in the future to try their other drinks!

Woooowww I came here because I was trying to look up the best matcha place and they were right! The parking was pretty easy since it was spacious and people were going in and out. The cafe was small and they took away the seating away so there was only a sofa in the corner. The line went by fast and the staff gave me recommendations since it was my first time. I got the matcha espannier and it was sooo good! The cream on top was thick and perfectly sweet. When you mix everything together it just completed the drink. I am definitely going to try other drinks next time too! I highly recommend this place.

HOLY MATCHA - airoma cafe lives up to the matcha hype that's been circulating social media. Based on the reviews of the long line on weekends, I decided to come on a weekday (Tuesday) at 10:30am and there was no wait! The drink came out super quick and I was in and out. I ordered the matcha einspanner which is one of their most popular drinks and the matcha is heavenly! It's the perfect mix of nuttiness and sweetness and the drink itself is the perfect creaminess level. I'd have to say this id top 1-2 matcha drinks I've had in the OC. Looking forward to trying their pandan matcha when I come back as I heard it's also amazing!

I'm not sure what to add that you probably don't know already *best matcha drink in all of OC *parking is impossible but street parking is plenty *the line can be intimidating since it wraps outside but it was 25 minutes for me. *everything is to go, they have eliminated seating so they can squeeze more people inside. *not really any food served.

This place is always packed line wrapped around the corner everytime i drove by, but lucky i went at 6pm on a weekday so its more chill no line at all. For a first timer, I can see why it's packed now lol. I ordered 2 matcha einspanners and it was superrr delicious, not too sweet and the matcha tasted rich indicates it's high quality, the top cheese cream was so good, fat creamy i couldnt stop eating!! Service was quick, drinks pumped out constantly. $7 per cup. No seating the inside is pretty small it's a better shop for togo. cant wait to come back to try their matcha pandan that looks yummy too! 9.25/10

This long-time GG staple has become one of the most hyped cafes in all of OC -- for good reason! Perfect for coffee/matcha lovers, those new to matcha, or anyone who wants to try something new, they have a large variety of drinks incorporating cultural flavors. They use oatmilk in all of their drinks, but I'm not sure if they offer milk-alternatives. Also, to manage lines better, they had to get rid of most if not all seating inside. They work hard to accommodate all visitors, so patience is needed when lines get long! I've visited during various times/days so I can't suggest a time when it's not as busy, but I fully believe they are worth the wait.

I've been meaning to try Airoma Cafe for a while. We came here on a Monday morning and there was a small line. It moved quickly, 5-10 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. I've driven by on the weekend and the line was wrapping around and much longer. We got 4 drinks to try and they were really good. My favorite was the Matcha Strawberry. I'm looking forward to trying the Matcha Ube next time. I also wanted grass jelly, but they were out. Overall, I enjoyed the drinks and would come back here despite the wait. * Matcha Oat Latte 4/5 - The matcha taste was strong while being smooth at the same time. It was a good matcha drink. However, it wasn't as sweet as the other drinks. I don't like things being too sweet, but in this case, I wish it was a bit sweeter. * Matcha Pandan 4/5 - Good matcha drink, though the pandan flavor was pretty subdued/light. I also got this less sweet unlike the other drinks. If I get this again, I'd just do full sweet. * Matcha Strawberry 5/5 - Definitely mix this drink well. And wow, the matcha is nice, strong, and smooth. The strawberry imparted a nice, fruity taste. There were bits of strawberry also. What I love is that this drink at other places would taste sweet and sour. Here, it was mostly sweet and the flavor profiles blended together very well. * Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea 5/5 - Even though Airoma is more famous for their coffee and matcha, the milk tea was really good. You can really taste the tea flavor. According to my partner, "The drink is not basic, but it doesn't try too hard either."

The hype is so real. I went around 12 PM on as Thursday and the line was not tooooo bad. I waited in line for about 15 minutes and got my drink after 10 mins. I ordered a matcha einspanner and it was so rich. The cream wasn't too thick on top. The matcha flavor was so rich. I have to go again !!!

Clearly I was too eager to drink my banana matcha (secret menu) as the photo of the drink is half full. Airoma has been my go to matcha/coffee drink place since 2023, unfortunately it has fallen prey to the tiktok hype. Good for business, horrible for lines. But if ifs your first time stand in the line because the drinks are amaaazing. And the workers move very quickly without tarnishing the drink quality. My go to's are the pandan matcha as it encompasses both flavors beautifully mixed with the slightly thick yet creamy drink texture. The banana matcha has been an ongoing craze recently especially with brewstory in HB. This I honestly prefer as the banana flavor is not overpowering at all. The place used to have tables and was a nice study spot, but due to busy-ness they took the seats out. However the cashier/pick up section still provides a homey/modern look! You can never go wrong the banana matcha, matcha pandan, banana coffee, ube matcha!!

Airoma is one of my favorite places to get coffee because their coffee actually keeps me awake. Their staff is always friendly too. It's always busy in the morning so I usually like going after 4pm since there's no line. Not a lot of places serve Pandan flavored drinks so that's another reason I love coming here. Their Pandan Coffee is sweet but still gets that bitter coffee taste.

Drink: Matcha Einspanner Price: $7.00 Overall: I said I would will def want to go back again to try their Matcha Einspanner and I did. I came in the morning on a Sunday and the drinks came out pretty quickly (NO LINE YESS). Best drink to get here and it is still on my mind. I think that says enough about the drink and the place; I'll def be back for the matcha Einspanner only

OAT MILK MATCHA (LEFT): came here last summer July 2024 before the tiktok hype. honestly disappointed bc it was watered down? maybe it's the oat milk?? for socal, there are def wayyy better spots out there. also got 25% sweetness which i DO NOT REC, getting 75-100% next time but i don't think it would've watered down my drink MATCHA EINSPANNER (RIGHT): also 25% sweet w/ oat milk but perfectly sweet and thick! approve of this drink if ur into thick, creamy matchas. nothing special though

the line goes down the strip mall but, service is good somewhat moving up faster than I thought. I waited 25 mins for 2 drinks, they are working fast in the back pushing all the drinks out. i got the Matcha Einspanner with extra Matcha. The cream on top of the cream top, is thick and creamy! It's good although it's missing the Matcha kick so I added an extra shot. I think this is a good spot for more sweet matchas, the regular matcha latte is great at 70% sweetness.

Airoma Cafe is specialized in Vietnamese coffee. It is located in Saigon center. There was ample parking. We went around two o'clock, the line was very long. They had a sign on the door said that they removed the seating area due to increase in customers visiting. My plan was to try their pandan coffee first,then order more drinks. Since the line was long, I changed my plan and ordered many drinks to try. Honestly, the line moved fast. The baristas were very welcoming and friendly. The service was top notch, quick and efficient,even with the large number of customers. I got the following drinks; - Egg coffee 5/5 It was rich and had strong coffee base but well balanced by this creamy yummy flavor of the foamy crème brûlée like taste. - Matcha ube latte 5/5 The matcha had unique sweetness and bitterness taste balanced with the silky, creamy and colorful ube flavor. - 2 Pandan coffee 5/5 The BEST pandan coffee I have tried. I wish I could order more. It was silky, rich and fragrant. - 2 Banana coffee 5/5 My goodness! I felt I was drinking a dessert not a cup of coffee. The strong coffee blended with the flavorful taste of banana. The barista told me to mix the drinks well for better taste. I tried all the drinks before mixing them and after. She was absolutely right! The drinks tasted perfect after mixing with the straw. Airoma is a great place to stop by and try their unique, high quality and pleasant drinks.
