I also noticed they totally remixed the aesthetic. And vibes were vibing! They swapped out the industrial look for a much more warm and organic look. From the plants to the artwork, this look definitely gives cozy. I just wish the seating was more comfortable. Those plywood benches are brutal. Other than that, they make good coffee so check it out if you haven't already!

It was so much that we would reach free drink status pretty quickly. I would grab an Ube matcha with oat milk for me and a cold brew latte with a shot of espresso and oat milk for my partner. We both would also order the waffles. It was a great little breakfast on the go. And service was top notch--pleasant and quick. The quality of the drinks was consistently great! Plus ordering it all online made it super convenient. Lately, there appears to be a shift at Homeboy Coffee. My drinks have had issues with them (i.e., no coconut syrup, watered down, wrong milk, less espresso shot than previously). Now, the waffle is not available for purchasing through their online ordering system despite them available in the store. Overall, Homeboys is okay. It isn't what it used to be which is sad especially because i loved it...especially their Ube matcha latte and waffles. I hope this is a temporary shift and that the OG Homeboy comes back.

There's plenty of seating with a mix of table options, making it perfect whether you're coming solo or with a group. They even have a cute little water dispenser, which I loved. Only downside was restroom was a little dirty and no toilet paper Service was friendly and informative, which always makes a difference. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and one pump of sugar-free vanilla, and it was made to perfection. I'm trying not to chug it, but it's that good. They also had a selection of pastries that looked really tempting. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

Saigon de Leche on their specialty menu tasted very classic, but with solid espresso! i think the Hojicha flavor took the cake though! the baristas behind the table were kind & always would say a nice greeting to whoever came in and left. they also have a stamp card! i enjoyed the clean/wood aesthetic, but would love more tables/benches for studying/getting some work done even tho the space is a little smaller! i think it would be neat if you guys were looking to attract more study aesthetic clients :)

Upon walking in I noticed the amount of tables they had! Definitely seems like a great study/hang out spot. They have a great selection of drinks and they also have some food items. They had 1 employee when we arrived & even though she was busy, she still greeted us kindly & with a smile! I tried the peel me a latte with oat milk which was so good and the foam tasted like real banana, not artificial. The only thing I wish is if it was a bit less sweet. Not sure if you can add an extra shot or less sweetness but regardless, one of the best banana lattes I've tried!

Their " pour over" is not actually a pour over. Although their menu specifically says V60 pour…read moreover, and I seen their V60 on the counter, it was not used. They used a drip machine that has "pour over features". I called this to the barista's attention but she said they use their pour over machine for their pour overs... They should probably update their menu. Other than that I like buying their beans and my fiancé likes their latte's.

I'm not too into the ones that taste artificial, but gladly this latte's cream top did not taste artificial at all! It was creamy and smooth, and Ioved the addition of the biscoff crumbles. The lavender soft serve was also great-- it tasted like the honey lavender flavor from Sorry Not Sorry Creamery. My mom said the ceremonial grade matcha level 1 latte was on the lighter side, so she might try the level 2 or 3 next time. Wait wasn't too long even though it was packed inside. We used the self service kiosk and it's easy to search through the menu. It was a plus that it also had pictures and descriptions. The wall decorations were cute and nice to know that they sell matcha and hojicha powder. May give it a try the next time I come around!

This is what they're known for. It's very unique. There's peanuts around the rim with caramel. Take a sip without a straw and without mixing it. Taste the flavors.

The servers were really nice as I couldn't figure out what I wanted at first.lol they were patient.

Double matcha was tasty enough, but a bit too milk-forward; I would've liked to have had more matcha in the drink. Service was super nice and assisted me in choosing what to order.

The employee at the register asked her to repeat the name a few times and corrected her pronunciation. To me, the way it was said came across as somewhat condescending. I later asked my wife how she felt about the interaction, and she didn't see it that way, so it may just be a difference in perception or that I took it out of context. However, I do feel that asking someone where they go and then implying they are saying it incorrectly--especially if it's not pronounced with a specific accent--can come across as unnecessary or dismissive. My wife liked the coffee .....but one star from me I didn't even get a coffee. By the way I don't think I'll be back tho she will not me

Then I remembered I've been wanting to try this place, so we decided to grab our post meal sweets here. We ordered 2 flan cupcakes, 1 crack cheesecake and 1 regular upside down halo halo. Everything was so good. I devoured the halo halo and the cupcake. I will need to eat the cheesecake tomorrow, but based on how good the other two were, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the cheesecake just as much. Now that I know what I've been missing out on, I'll be coming in as much as I can here on out lol.

This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

Their drinks were decent…read morethough, and after eating teriyaki in Gardena, I was craving something sweet, so we decided to stop here again. I ordered a hot salted caramel latte. They charge an extra dollar to substitute oat milk, so I kept the regular milk. My son got the cappuccino cake, and I chose the ricotta pistachio cake. The pistachio cake was a little dry -- not terrible, but noticeable. However, my hot salted caramel latte was actually very good and paired really well with the dessert. The music and atmosphere were nice, and there were only a few patrons inside, which made it feel relaxed. However, there were a couple of dirty plates left sitting on tables while one employee seemed more focused on organizing napkins instead of clearing them. I also wasn't too sure how fresh the cakes were since they had been sitting in the display. Whether I come back really depends on the flavor and quality of the food and drinks next time around.
