The spot is a little off the beaten track but most worthy of a detour if you're in South Coast Plaza. The coffee is smooth, the staff is friendly and the shop is clean.

When I got to my Pink Sunshine it tasted bland and watered down. Disappointing experience to say the least as it wasn't even crowded.

My mom got the coconut pineapple white iced tea... and that tasted like water. I could faintly smell the coconut but that was it. And the whole cup was ice! It's nice to have a local coffee shop in the mall though. It was sleek and the people were very friendly.

They offer a lavender syrup so I had to try it with their matcha latte. It was super refreshing and the lavender flavor came through without too much sweetness. Matcha Latte w/ Lavender Syrup Ambiance: Looks like a pretty nice place to study if you don't mind the volume of the mall. Though, Dripp is tucked away in one of the farther corners of the mall so maybe it wouldn't be too loud! Bright interior and interesting layout of space. The register and drink making kitchen is contained within an island in the middle of the store while seating surrounds the back and sides of it.
