Trung Nguyen E-Coffee in California

"This is like the thickest richest most intense coffee I've ever had. Apparently a brand from Vietnam. Amazing."

"A spot for amazing drinks. I tried a few drinks and they’re all good! I would come back to try other items. I had: 1. Strawberry matcha 2. Raspberry matcha 3. Peach coffee"

"Growing up, I would watch my mom make Trung Nguyen G7 instant coffee almost every morning. Then later as an adult, we walked by the massive storefront in Saigon while vacationing. I am so glad to find out that they have expanded worldwide and have 2 locations in SoCal! The Santa Ana location is super charming with a relaxing atmosphere. You can purchase their handcrafted drinks and specialty coffee products here. The menu is very creative and definitely catered to all drink enthusiasts as they have matcha, hojicha, and teas as well. The espresso and egg coffee were super strong but amazing in depth and quality. Matcha was creamy and had a nutty aftertaste (just how I like it!). And I wanted to try something new so I got the Peaches and Cream Hojicha The sweetness of the peaches pairs well with the toastiness of the hojicha. Overall, very delish and I can see why they were crowded even on a weekday. Highly recommend a visit if you haven’t already!"

"Great coffee and styles of drinks. Prices are good too. Banana cream is the best one so far. This place gets PACKED sometimes, but they're quick to get your order and make it as well. Cashiers have always been nice in my last 8 visits. Atmosphere and music is chillin. Great place to study if it's dead but also great to meet up with friends."

"Trung Nguyen coffee selections are the best. At first I was hesitant to try their coffee but glade I did. My first choice was the caramel which was refreshing and tasty. I also had the hazelnut which was surprisingly good as well. The cost of $7.50 is well worth it in my opinion. You still can taste the cultural Vietnamese strong coffee which I love. This location has a steady flow of patrons. Clearness was a huge positive factor. The staff were friendly different from other Bolsa coffee establishment experiences. Well worth the price."

"Peaches and cream matcha was delightful! I ended up at Trung Nguyen E-Coffee because I was running out of stand-up comedy material and, in a moment of desperation, decided to join my college’s mock trial team for content. I immediately began doubting that decision when I realized mock trial involves a lot of reading....and I hate reading. Then I found out I’d have to drive from SLO to L.A. for a travel tournament, and like I get carsick from a five minute drive. But then our team stopped at Trung Nguyen E-Coffee for some pre-trial sustenance… and suddenly everything felt worth it. All those late nights, that 200-page case file, learning the law solely for the bit. Would recommend this place. Maybe not mock trial, though."

"Good drinks. Some are very sweet. We had the banana and also the ube matcha. The ambiance was nice and the people were friendly. They do make their matcha properly using a whisk and everything. It does take some time to get your order, but that’s expected given they make everything there."

"I recently visited Trung Nguyen E-Coffee Santa Ana, a new coffee chain that has just opened near my relatives. I was curious to see what they had to offer, since it was still fresh and not crowded. It was only a week or so after their grand opening. The place is nice, with a modern and cozy design. It seems like a new coffee place for students and business casual people to meet and work. Of course, there are many coffee shops around here as well, so they have some fierce competition for sure. I had too many coffee that day, so I decided to try something different. I ordered a hibiscus tea, which was one of their specialty drinks. It was pretty good, with a refreshing and fruity flavor.  The only thing I didn't like was that it was too sweet for my taste. I think they added too much sugar or syrup. Maybe next time I'll ask for less sweet or no sweet at all. The service was friendly and attentive. They greeted me with a smile and took my order quickly. Overall, I had a pretty good experience at Trung Nguyen E-Coffee Santa Ana. The place is nice, the drinks are good, and the service is fast. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new coffee place to try out.  I think they have potential to become a popular spot, if they can improve their sweetness level and offer more variety of flavors and food options."
