Coming in on Saturday afternoon, there were plenty of people who occupied seats around already. Theres a couple of seating spaces outside too. There's a lot of natural lighting coming into the shop. Cashier was friendly, quick, and efficient. I ordered the New London, which I couldn't exactly describe the taste, but it was really good! I actually enjoyed it a lot, but I wish the caffeine was a bit stronger haha. Prices were pretty reasonable for coffee too.

I brought my laptop since I had a few things to check, so I ended up sitting at a table for a while. The wall was all glass, and with the sunny weather, it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. There's also public parking nearby, which made it very convenient. The only downside was that there was no restroom available. After having a few drinks, that was a bit inconvenient. It kind of felt like they didn't want people to stay too long.

The vibes are great and drinks are unique and so tasty. I don't really drink coffee anymore so I…read morejust usually get their non caffeinated drinks or their non coffee drinks. My absolute favorite is their Pistachio Bloom. The right amount of chai, sweetness, rosey, pistachio flavors mixed together. My husband has gotten their Vietnamese coffee and I had a sip. You can tell the quality is really good and my husband thinks it's one of the best Vietnamese coffees he's had in the area. This place also isn't just a coffee shop. They regularly have events at the shop that serve the community (i.e. boom events, pet rescue fundraiser, mom meet ups, plant workshops, etc). They also have a corner for young kids to play at as well as a board game collection. If my kids were older, I imagine this to be a spot to hang out and play board games with their friends. You won't be disappointed coming here!

The specialty drinks are a little too expensive for me. I ordered the Wildflower Cold Brew and it came out to $8! It has a great taste and the honey is subtle in the coffee.

(Sorry if I forgot anyone else, I mainly see them when I'm in) Overall great & efficient service. A good amount of seating indoors and outdoors! The atmosphere is spacious and has good air conditioning on hot days. I love their gluten free banana loaf bread! It's so soft and the banana chunks are mouth watering! They have ceremonial grade matcha; just look at that vibrant green :) They're matcha isn't overly sweet but if you want more sweetener, they're happy to add more. Their seasonal blueberry bliss matcha is really good with chunks of mini berries. I also like how they have a reward system to get points with each purchase for future perks! Highly recommend :)

Baked goods - 5/5, I LOVE the new chicken pot pie croissant-like pastry!!! The filling is sooo delicious. Sconkies - 5/5, the scone x cookie hybrid is also a favorite. I like the density and their flavors are so fun and unique! Kimchi musubi croissant - 4/5, is very unique and savory. But can be quite salty, better heated up. Yuzu black tea - 5/5, I appreciate their decaf menu because I don't usually drink coffee or caffeinated teas. This iced tea is my new go-to. I like that it's not as sweet as their usual decaf selection.

TLDR - Coffee is good, Bread is good, Service is good, Parking is good. Would recommend…read more The Coffee is good, they can accommodate coffees that aren't on their menu but are typical to coffee around the world (cortados, flat whites etc.) the staff tend to be very friendly and service is quick and polite even when in a rush. A lot of study space and tables for you to chat with your friends. Parking is plentiful

Brea was long overdue to have its own PHILZ location. I have to admit the new remodel of the mall…read moreis spectacular for the city of Brea. I particularly really love the Phil'z location, because it is so easy to get to being on the outside of the mall as well as having a small play area on the outside for the little ones to enjoy or to sit down and enjoy your Philz Coffee. My personal go to is always gonna be the mint Mojito or the iced rosé, but that does not dim the light on their seasonal menu. I just had the chance to check out the butterscotch cold brew, and if you're a beer fan, this is the coffee version of it. The butterscotch flavors were very rich and deep that appeared so great with their coffee. I also have just become the biggest fan of their breakfast burritos. You can never go wrong with the green hatch chili burrito!

I was wanting a caffeine fix and saw that Philz is now open at the Brea Mall! It's located in the…read morenewer section of the mall, with construction still all around it. I love the spaciousness of this location. It's bigger than other Philz I've been to and there's plenty of seating. The decor is very cute, I especially love the "Cup of Love" lighting inside! What a clever way to light up the cafe! The outside of the shop opens up to an astro-turf lawn with seating and an area where kids could play, so that's nice. The have a couple new limited drink offerings: Salted Butterscotch or the Caramel Coconut cold brews. I decided to forgo on my usual Mint Mojito and try the caramel coconut cold brew and I'm so glad I did. It was so good - perfectly sweet but I could still taste coffee. The baristas were super friendly and helpful, and didn't make me feel rushed at all even when I was standing in line forever trying to download their new app. Luckily I was the only one in line at the time!

After reading the reviews, I thought I'd take the risk and give Teatopia a chance and I am so glad I did. We ordered at the kiosk, but failed to notice a posted sign that said they were out of green grape, which is one of the things we ordered. When only one drink came out, the super sweet girl behind the counter offered to make any drink from the menu for us -- regardless of value. MATCHA EINSPANNER: 4/5. Truly surprised by how good this was. Matcha forward, super creamy. 100% sweetness was just right to me. I just found my local spot for when I don't feel like making the trip to GG or Westminster. LYCHEE TEA: 4/5. 100% sweetness here was a little too sweet for me, but my partner loved it. The flavor of the tea itself was delicious.

It was a Saturday evening about an hour before they closed. When I walked in there was a couple in front of me and it appeared they had issues ordering from the kiosk. The one worker who was there that night came out with the most unfriendly face and vibe. Even though she wasn't serving me yet she even made me feel uncomfortable and that's hard to do. Lmao. After we all ordered our drinks, we could not help but talk about how grumpy she looked. I gave the benefit of the doubt knowing it sucks to work alone on a Saturday or maybe she's tired but the strangers i was talking with said everytime they come here she's always unfriendly. The one star reviews on here confirm that. I kid you not I was looking for the manager to share this concern with because it was that bad. There was no one else in sight. I didn't feel like confronting anyone that night, but if they read their yelp reviews please consider providing customer service training to your employees. With so many boba shops opened now in brea including the 3-4 spots in brea mall alone, good drinks and good service will keep your business alive. 2 stars for my pineapple Green tea. It was decent but the ice level sucked. Very little ice was given and the ice they used melted super fast.

Vaulted ceilings, green tiles, and exposed wood beams make it really pleasing to the eye. Parking is available in the Hub garage nearby, but it's limited. There's plenty of room inside to study, work, or talk with friends. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. The matcha wasn't my favorite. I'm a matcha lover, and this one tasted more like the kind you'd find at Costco rather than ceremonial grade. I also noticed they keep it in a large tub. The color was light, and it was very sweet, almost like the powder already had sugar added. I'd still come back to try their coffee, and I'd love to try the matcha again if they decide to upgrade it.

Discovered this beautiful coffee spot a month ago and fell in love with their seasonal drinks…read more(strawberry vanilla americano and strawberry cold brew) so we have been coming here as a special treat for ourselves and told and brought our friends. However, today's visit felt different. We ordered our usual strawberry coffee drinks but they weren't pink. When I asked the barista about it she said the syrup has changed. The drinks barely tasted like strawberry and we were disappointed. I immediately regretted upgrading my size to 20oz too. SO I looked up other recent yelp reviews, and I saw that someone posted a picture of their drink 17 hours ago and it was still pink. That makes me question what happened to our drinks.

However, yesterday's visit left me in…read morequestions on why I spent $7 on a milk tea and receive pretty much a nonexistent service or assistance. I placed my order in app, arrived for pickup asap since my app says 0 minute for wait time. Arrived at the pickup counter, pulled out my phone and searched for my order number while standing in front of the staff who's in charge of packing and pickup orders. During these few minutes she did not greet nor made any sort of eye contact with me while I was standing in FRONT of her this whole time. I know there's a screen with order progress on the wall, but it'd be nice if she ACKNOWLEDGES me in any form instead of looking left and right. It made me so uncomfortable so I stepped back to the straws area and look up my order on screen instead of speaking to the staff. While watching her all these time, I noticed customers would say thank you to her and she doesn't give any feedbacks. Then I see her packing my order while she gave me a brief 0.2 second of glance the she proceed to place my order on the pickup rack for me to approach and check for it myself. Yep, it was my order indeed and I grabbed and left. Such a disappointing grab and go experience. So disappointed at CHAGEE, who I thought was gonna be a mega hit milk tea shop in the states.
