Disgusting fake coffee. Actual coffee lovers? Stay away. I asked what they had on drip they said a medium roast. I ordered a medium drip coffee and they proceeded to make me an Americano, espresso and hot water. This is not coffee and they flat out lied to me when I asked what was on drip. This is not drip coffee, I did not order an Americano. For a place that labels itself as a posh coffee shop this is disgraceful. I also asked for some ice cubes in the “coffee” so I could drink it right away and it was so hot it burnt my tongue.

Blk Dot's Vietnamese Iced Coffee is to die for!!I've tried VTM Iced Coffee at other places, but Blk Dot's is by far the best one. They even offer a "bottled" version of it if you want to split it into more than one serving. Lastly, the staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions!

Wanted to try a new place, and I will be coming back here for sure! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the ambiance inside was great! Loved the VTM and Spanish latte :)

The BEST Vietnamese ice coffee. Hands down. I literally crave this! This is my second time here and totally worth it! (I mean it's only $6-$7)The shop is clean and reminds of an upscale boba place. Not like a real sit down cafe. But they do have toasts and other coffees on the menu. Definitely worth checking out especially if you like Vietnamese coffee! This location is pretty much in an outdoor mall so there's plenty of things to do while enjoying your drink!

Blk Dot is a pretty popular coffee joint in OC! It's definitely on the pricier side as my drink was around $8 including tip for a small. I got the iced VTMatcha which is Vietnamese coffee + matcha. It's an interesting combination that didn't blend perfectly well, but it's worth a try. It isn't too sweet, but their other drinks are good.

Avocado toast with bacon and hot honey..... Ummm yes please!!!! Love this little place, there are a few tables inside and outdoor seating as well. GREAT beverage menu and a variety bowls and fun food on the menu.

New to the area so this was one of the first coffee shops I've tried that wasn't a Starbucks, and I'm so happy I did. It was a bit confusing to find since it's on the Google center campus. Park in the Google parking and make sure to ask the barista for validation (for 1 hour). I got an iced hazelnut latte with oat milk and it was delicious. The ice was small rather than big ice cubes, which made the drink more enjoyable for me (ice does make a difference!). I would definitely come back. There's a little outside seating area too, great place to relax or work

This is such a difficult review for me as I really like this place but they are so inconsistent! I for example: I went this morning and got the Light Vietnamese coffee and they gave me the regular one instead of the light! I realized when I was in the car and literally throw the coffee away! They need to hire more focused people or they will lose a lot of business
The staff that works here is exceptionally nice. There was a glitch with the computer system, and they proceeded to make all of the drinks for everyone in line and charge the customers later. Good coffee and plenty of outside seating.Parking: Be aware that it costs $1.50 per 15 minutes to park in the garage close by. You can get your ticket validated inside for up to an hour.

This is the best coffee I've ever had. I'm fully addicted to their iced VTM; it is SO strong and delicious. Please open up a Blk Dot location in San Diego!Also, their employee Alex at the Google center location is just the absolute best. He's so nice to everyone who comes in and he somehow remembers so many customers names and orders. I really appreciate his customer service!

I ordered pickup on DoorDash, got to the place at the suggested pickup time, still had to wait another 10 minutes for my order. I saw the guy making my order used whole milk (or skim milk) but I ordered the coffee with oat milk and when he gave me my order, I asked him if that’s with oat milk, he said yes, I said ok and I thought maybe he did put oat milk in it and I just missed it or something, so I just left. Took a sip of my coffee, it’s 100% cow milk.

This is such a nice hidden gem! It's tucked away next to the Google building, so you can't see it from the main street. You have to park in the Google parking structure and get validated at BLK Dot. They give you an hour for free, but there was a really nice worker here who gave me an additional hour of validation because I stayed past the one hour.I always get a regular size hot LVTM ($5.45), and it is good here. I initially didn't want to come because I feared the whole parking situation, but it's really not bad, and they do give one or more hours of validation! :)
