A well-known coffee shop! Mark was quite friendly, courteous, and intelligent. He never disappoints me, despite my high expectations. All I asked for was delivered on time, as expected. Without hesitation, Ill give my 5 stars all the way to this coffee shop to show my appreciation. Excellent customer service and pricing!

Couldnt resist and had to check this coffee shop at Google. Same as most places no dine-in only delivery and to go order. Ordered a latte and the so called Brekkie sammie sandwich. Both the sandwitch and coffee was fine. Just the curiosity Bright me here nothing else.Note: They can validate your parking.

Coffee tastes great. Execution and customer service are the worst at this location. The fact that you have to park in the garage is also a pain but could be overlooked if the staff were friendlier. Wish they could execute like other locations, Spectrum and The Marketplace are the best!!

This coffee shop is a bit different from the others and I kinda like it. they serve Vietnamese Iced coffee on top of the classic coffee shop favorites. you can get it with either coffee or espresso, I got mine with espresso and I loved it. you have to park in the structure and theyll validate the parking for you so no worries about having to pay. its a bit of a pain getting there just to get some coffee but Id say its worth it. I also got an everything bagel and cream cheese and it was pretty good!

I addicted to BLK- favorite coffee shop in OC! This branch is beside the Google Office and theres free 2 hour parking at the complex beside the coffee shop. Highly recommend the VTM. They also have dairy free options for light vtm! 5 stars

They remember who you are and seem to genuinely care when they ask how youre doing. I have 5 punch cards because I always forgot to grab one (when will the app be available?!) and they merged them for me. I didnt even think that was an option! I work nearby and come regularly for an order of 4-5 drinks and am never disappointed. Keep up the great work guys!

Decent spot, but Id you dont work on the Google campus and arent doing a quick in and out, I dont think its worth it. I set a meeting here thinking itd be in a marketplace or something. The only nearby parking you pay $1.25 per 15 minutes, and the only dedicated parking spots to the coffee place have a 15 minute limit, and all the other visitor spots were literally blocked off by cones today, so I pretty much risked a ticket to meet here. Overall the cafe was nice and comfy, albeit small. If I worked in this plaza Id probably grab coffee from here on occasion, but since I do not and the coffee wasnt that out of the ordinary, I will not be visiting again.

I had the best pumpkin spice latte there made with non-dairy oat milk yesterday! They were moderately busy, but but great service. I loved how there were electrical outlets wherever you sat. I love the atmosphere too! And of course, it smells luscious in there.

This coffee shop is located in the Spectrum but you do not need to fight for parking or a crowd on a weekday. I came to Irvine to visit a friend and feel like having a morning coffee, after some research BLKdog came to my attention.I consulted with the cashier, she was patient and knowledgeable with their products. I ordered an iced LVTM coffee which is their signature item on the menu. taste just like a Vietnamese coffee but great intense flavor. The sweetness in the coffee was just right for my taste. The coffee was so strong it lasted me a whole day and even when the ice is melted, it still tasted very good. I ask the cashier to make a pretty hot drink, she created a green tea latte with paired bears foam on top. It was so cute to the point I did not want to drink it to ruin it. Latte was just right, I didnt even need to add any sugar to it.I sat outside community patio to enjoy the weather. Great set up, easy to park on the weekdays, will be my go to place for my next visit.Highly recommended. The serving staff are super accommodating to your needs.

This is my daily fix for their iced Vietnamese coffee. Its wonderful. Ill say this...I work at Google in the office building that Blk is located at, and we have an in house free barista. But I still visit Blk because the coffee is that good and the staff is wonderful to deal with. Breakfast food is also very good.

This place is awesome. I LOVE the light version of the Vietnamese Iced Coffee (regular is just too sweet for me) and the staff are great, really friendly and helpful. Im from WAY out of town so not so sure about parking here since its a business area, I didnt know if I would be paying if I pulled into the garage. The coffee is outstanding, though. Im coming back again when I am remotely nearby OC.

Great Vietnamese coffee! Having just returned from our honeymoon in Vietnam just months before, I can vouch for their VTM iced coffee. Hits the spot! I also had their strawberry and vanilla custard pastry, very very good. I wish there was convenient parking close by, but every spot within a quarter mile seems to be parking by permit only.

Review №35

Super friendly baristas that gave me a great recommendation when I couldnt make up my mind. Their iced mocha was amazing, its dark chocolate so has that strong flavor that is often lacking between mediocre espresso and milk chocolate drinks. Price was standard for what I got. Theyve got the good ice too!

Review №36

Love their VTM coffee. Some of the best in the area. However make sure to get a validation card for the parking structure. The price of parking is very steep! If youre there under 15 minutes, its free, but otherwise just ask for a validation card. Make sure they know how long youve been there so you can get the right ticket. Also, you can no longer use the restroom in the google building which is kind of a hassle but the coffee is totally worth making a small trek to the restroom across the lot in the other tower

Im a coffee connoisseur and I try every boutique coffee shop I can find. I can confidently say that BLK Coffee is right up there with the best. Very comparable to Kean Coffee and even the highly regarded Portola Coffee Lab (of which I consider the best in CA). If youre a coffee snob like me, give this place a visit.

Review №55

Average 3 star coffee shop with cafe sua da. When put into percentages, their Viet coffee is 50-75% higher than other places in OC. Does not taste better and not worth it. How do they get the french press coffee in that large of a cup? Why do I feel lightheaded and jittery after drinking coffee here? Does the coffee here contain artificial caffeine additives or amphetamines? I do not know. But the cappuccino was below average and the Thai tea was totally artificial with tons of yellow and orange food coloring and not authentic tasting. I would only go to this place for one reason: if you worked in this business complex. Otherwise dont bother stopping here.

Best damn Vietnamese Coffee on the block. Got finals? Gotta pull an all nighter? Drink some of this stuff, and youll be up for 9 days straight. Better than Meth. Just Kidding. Located in the Plaza of the Google Building, they have businesshours, in that they only cater during normal business hours, so make sure to stop in for your Morning VTM Coffee!

Review №72

Absolutely one of my FAVORITE coffee shops. As a masters student there are few places with 1. Great WiFi and 2. a Great environment in which has plentiful outlets and great service. Coffee is good and priced as it would be expected (kind of expensive for a student, but comparable to other speciality coffee shops.) At Starbucks, I would get an ok drink for $2.45 with ok wifi and good/ok service (depending on workers), but at Blkdot Coffee, I can expect to pay $4.50 great wifi, service and a drink. Too expensive to frequent every single day, but that rational definitely goes through my mind that says hey, youre doing quality work, treat yourself to a quality place. Nevertheless, yall should come through.

Amazing LVTM (light Vietnamese iced coffee)! Located in the Google Irvine complex, BLK Coffee is a cozy, minimalist cafe with plenty of delicious offerings for discerning coffee drinkers and dessert lovers alike.They specialize in their ca phe su da but also offer cappucinos, lattes, frappes, teas, as well as breakfast sandwiches and lunch options. I love that they offer both a traditional iced Vietnamese coffee (sweeter, stronger, thicker, with French press), and the lighter version (still sweet, more milky, espresso).Customer service is great, everyone is super friendly and accommodating, and there are seats for people who want to chat or work.

Hey guys, its OutKast Nation again! Well this time I will be reviewing Blk Coffee in Irvine, California, like literally built right into the side of the Google Fiber building. The simple fact your able to read this review, is because of that very google building.So, our offices are literally right down the street from this place, so I figured, I would come down here and review this place. Not knowing exactly what I was going to find, I literally found a diamond in the rough. This quaint little establishment serves, not coffee, but liquid crack. The VTM which is a special Vietnamese way of brewing, and blending coffee, popular in many places, like Garden Grove, Westminster, but almost unheard of here, in Irvine. However, the atmosphere, is very modern, with down to earth baristas, and the owner is super chill.Why is this place so amazing, the owner, is not all about just the profit margin. These guys, make a really good cup of joe, even the blended ice combinations are to die for. Then the pastries and sandwiches? OMG they literally put Starbucks and coffee bean to shame.With prices well under $8 for specialty drinks, and other coffee blends, being easily affordable, this place is a no brainer, but here is the kicker, the coffee is strong, but tasteful, full body tastes, with low acidity, and flavorable aftertaste. What is there else to say, get down, here.Oh, and yes there are plugins for your laptop, or tablet or whatever, and sure you could connect to Blk Coffee, but why? You have Google Guest Wifi, and it allows you to download at a whopping 500 MBPS per second. I downloaded Dungeons and Dragons Online, the Hi-Res game, a total of 13 GBs in about 5 minutes. Yeah, So, why waste your time with Starbucks, and get mediocre, drive dont walk down here, and be apart of the growing tech, savvy, and trending crowds of Blk Coffee on the Google Campus, open to the public!

Located on the first floor of the google office so therefore, you will have SUPER FAST wifi! (no kidding, Ive never had faster wifi in my life before..)Ive ordered 2 of the more popular drinks from here before:1) Light Vietnamese coffee (LVTM)- IT IS STRONG. Despite it being light, I probably had only 5 sips & was good on caffeine for around 4 hours. I saved the rest for later; so IF YOU ARE IMMUNE TO CAFFEINE, try this drink! If youre SUPER-immune to caffeine, get the regular vietnemese coffee! haha2) Sea Salt Iced Coffee- Id give this drink a 6/10. It was decent but something about it was just a bit off.The workers here are awesome & are super nice. They seem to earnestly care about their job & are always tidying up the place to keep it clean. This is a good spot to come and get some work down but PLEASE turn down the AC a bit! The first time I came, I froze to death so I couldnt stay much longer, despite liking the environment. The second time I came with an extra scarf & jacket but still froze to death. But I shall come again next time.. with 2 jackets?.. haha, overall - a wonderful place to study & get work done.They also validate your parking ticket right before you leave so yay for free parking!
