They serve a simple yet diverse variety of drinks including the popular double matcha and banana matcha. Interior seating space is relatively average due to the size of the cafe, but feels optimized to hold the most tables and chairs without crowding the floor.

From taking my order to getting my drink, service was fast. Plenty of seating and outdoor parking available-- perfect for studying or doing work. I've gone to this location several times for matcha and decided to try one of their fall seasonal specials this time-- a carrot cake latte with cream cheese cream top. I'm so glad that the barista recommended this drink because it was the literal definition of fall. The latte had a great subtle taste of carrot cake with a hint of a spices. I like how the sweetness wasn't too overwhelming with the perfect balance of espresso. I also got the ube cookie with a white chocolate pretzel on top of it-- it had a soft texture and a subtle taste of ube. I've also tried their oreo mallow cookie before and it was good too. Overall, aesthetic and tasty, would recommend!

Came here on a weekday and definitely would recommend. When I first came upon the page, the name of…read morethe cofffeeshop looked familiar. It turned out that it's from one of those "best matcha" of OC posters lol glad I made it over here I guess. Environment - lovely large shop with areas for using your electornic devices with charging stations. And two other longer tables for chit chatting and hanging out. I love the large counter they have and you can also see they have an office in the back with a roaster on the side. You can smell all types of beans in the front and purchase the entire bag if you'd like. Service - no complaints. Nice people! Drinks/Food - Hazelnut Einspanner - not too sweet with great blend of the hazelnut flavor. Would recommend if you wanted a specialty drink but not too overpowering. - Double Matcha - hey, I had to try this one since it was listed on the matcha poster. Pretty good! Not to sweet - again lol - Ham and Cheese Croissant Panini - this was a surprise! I don't usually get savory treats out at coffeeshops but it was so carefully made. Piping hot when it came out and not too salty! Dang, would come here again. Can't wait!

Small parking lot, but plenty of space in the morning. I visited a long time ago and so glad I was able to come back today. The Goth latte with ube, almond milk, less sweet - AMAZING. I recommend visiting this shop!

Due to friends' recommendation, I visited this store in late night and bought a bag of coffee bean…read more The experience barista assist me to choose the coffee bean based on my desreviptikn and answered the question about brewing the coffee patiently. If you bought a bag of the coffee bean, you will have one complimentary drink. I visited in the next day and had the pullover. Although they have the machine but the barista still hand craft the coffee( they have the pull over machine). Although I did not see it in person, but I tasted the fruity taste and the aroma she did great job! If you have time and would like to have a quality coffee this is the place!

It's nutty, creamy, and quite strong honestly. I'm not usually a mango person, but I really enjoyed their mango matcha latte. I love that all their drinks that have fruit in them use real fruit puree that they make in-house! And don't leave without grabbing one of their pastries! If you love a good soft cookie, definitely get the smores bar or chewy Biscoff mallow cookie. Thanks for reading! ^-^

There isn't much seating in the shop so can get crowded during peak times. Ordered the following: Biscoff Latte Matcha Einspanner Strawberry Matcha Latte Lemon Bar Mallow Cookies I personally really liked both the matcha einspanner and the biscoff latte. You can taste the coffee plus that slightly sweetness from the biscoff. Also loved their pastries, really liked the lemon bar and mallow cookies! Overall, Haru Cafe is such a cute spot when you are in a mood for a variety of drinks plus something sweet. Definitely would love to come by again.

We have been to Auria coffee once before, but it's been a minute and we wanted to try it out again…read more We remembered liking the coffee, and the shop itself is very comfortable and perfect for relaxing with a latte. They have a decent amount of indoor seating, and a cute outdoor side patio nestled in between the businesses. Since it was over 100 degrees outside today, we stuck to the inside. I tried the Banana Bread Latte off of their seasonal menu, and my partner opted for a black sesame latte. As far as lattes go it was pretty solid! The coffee had a great taste, and my banana bread latte perfectly balanced the cinnamon and banana flavor. The black sesame latte also had a great flavor as well. I can't speak to much else of their menu, but they have a wide range of options from matcha, to other non espresso options. The service was quick, and the baristas were friendly enough. I would definitely recommend this spot to friends and family, and in an area with a lot of coffee options, it stood out for us.

I…read moreactually found this spot on TikTok after seeing their video promoting their new pumpkin spice drink, so I was excited to try it! Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't come back. They don't offer house-made syrups, and the pumpkin spice latte tasted pretty artificial to me. They do have really creamy crème tops, which was a nice touch! The baristas were very kind and were nice enough to switch my drink to a Spanish latte, which was much better. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the coffee wasn't quite good enough for me to make the trip back

I ordered their ceremonial matcha latte (oat milk, simple syrup, 50% sweet) and it tasted way better this time around. I wouldn't say it's my absolute favorite, but it's definitely up there to my liking. Plus their newest menu item: heirloom tomato cream cheese bagel. Wow, perfectly toasted and the real highlight is the olive oil drizzle, fresh avocado and crushed pepper (slight spicy kick). Highly recommend.

The coffee has a slightly bright, acidic flavor, which I really enjoy. It's also not a bad place to study, and the staff are always very friendly. But there is ONE major downside... it's way too hot. I mean, isn't one of the reasons we go to a coffee shop to sit somewhere cool and comfortable while studying? I'm not sure if they don't have the AC running enough because the place gets so crowded, but I was sitting there trying to study and eventually got so hot that I had no choice but to leave. Honestly, I feel like a coffee shop being THAT hot is serious enough to take off two stars. The coffee itself deserves five stars--it really does taste that good! But since I have to rate the overall experience, I just can't give it five stars this time.

It absolutely pains me to leave a 3 star review for this place. I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

My family and I went over to their food items and had a field day picking out what we wanted from containers. I got their sweet honey bread which was amazing, I've been a kick ordering this at bakeries. The blueberry muffin was okay, it was a bit crumbly. Corn mochi was quite interesting but I learned to like it. Sweet Potato mochi was solid and then I didn't try the Chestnut mochi. It was overall a good setting to get work done and plug your laptop in, use their wifi or restroom.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly frustrating. We were told the…read morewait for our soufflé pancakes would be around 20 minutes, which seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.

Usually I'm a sipper, but today my drink was gone in about 10 minutes because of how delicious and refreshing it was on this hot day.

Service 10/10 Friendly, pleasant, and helpful service. Ambiance 9/10 Clean and minimal design. On a Friday early, there was only 2-3 customers studying or reading. Great place to study with good free wifi, outlets, and a bathroom. There's also plenty of parking and lots of restaurants and eateries walking distance.

I'll definitely be coming back for another Iced Vanilla Latte.
