GIOT’s Journey

At GIOT, every coffee we serve is crafted with love—a love story that began long before our doors opened. It all started with Mimi, a remarkable cook with an incredible talent for creating whatever her husband’s heart desired. Food, flavor, and care have always been at the heart of their relationship. During a visit to Orange County, they stumbled upon the world of Vietnamese coffee shops, and from that first sip, they were hooked.

Inspired, one day in October 2023, he asked Mimi if she could bring that flavor home, to make a coffee that held the richness and warmth they’d found together. Mimi accepted the challenge, and the result was extraordinary. Each cup they crafted from then on became a blend of their love for food, coffee, and each other. GIOT was born not just as a coffee shop, but as a place to share that experience with you—a place where every sip and bite is a reminder of the love, tradition, and passion that inspired us.
