I've been wanting to try Taty's Specialty Coffee & Tea for the longest time after constantly seeing…read moreit all over TikTok, and I'm glad I finally got the chance to go. My friend got the Classic Matcha Latte, and I got the Double Matcha Latte, which was really good. The matcha was smooth, creamy, and well balanced without being overly sweet. What really stood out to me was the cream top on the double matcha. It was thick, silky, and added a rich texture to the drink while still letting the matcha flavor come through clearly. The drink felt really comforting and well crafted overall. The café itself is clean, spacious, and well kept, making it a nice spot for people to sit down and get work done or just hang out for a while. The worker was really kind and welcoming, and you could tell they cared about creating a good experience for customers. The atmosphere overall felt calm and inviting, which made me enjoy the visit even more.

I didn't really feel like the matcha was coming through. I also didn't feel like the foam belonged in the drink but maybe I'm tripping. The store itself was cool and had a nice vibe. It was packed at the time but service is pretty quick. I can see this as a place where people hang out but I don't think I would go out of my way to get a drink here.

I've honestly only had their black coffee or the cold brew, never anything fancier. They're open late so nothing like a steaming cup of coffee when the marine layer is rolling in. They have a few food items too and have eaten a few crepes over the decades. Prices are getting really high but that's the norm everywhere now. Service is friendly and the atmosphere inviting. I was amused to see the basket of buttons by the register is still there. I remember buying a few buttons over 20 years ago from the same basket.

Full sweetness (agave) was delightful and did not feel overly sweet. Seemed like they use 3 or 4 g of matcha, but not sure (was at least more than 2g). Oat milk is only 50 cents extra, but I got regular milk (I think they use 2%). Interior was clean, forest green and had luxurious leafy vibes with 4 or so tables of 3. There is a bathroom, oddly with a bidet. Located in an older strip mall with varied food offerings. Plenty or parking on a weekday midday. BEWARE: google maps takes you to an alley in back, so just go around the block to the other side. I see why this place was on a reel for top iced matchas in OC. Would recommend, and would like to come back to try the mango matcha latte or even just for this cherry matcha again!

I saw that they recently switched to a new powder so I wanted to try. They claim to be using Rocky's matcha, but I used Rocky's matcha at home and it tastes nothing like this! My double matcha tasted like pure grass and was very gritty. I'm not even sure what made it a double matcha because there was no matcha cream or anything on top. So I paid $8 for a bland grassy cup of milk. Cuptopia PLEASE go back to your old matcha ***Edit because that response from the owner is wild hahaha I guess the customer service isn't that great. I did not make a single rude comment about your shop or anything even remotely close to ruin anyone's reputation. All I said was that the matcha blend has downgraded because it has. Yelp is here to share honest opinions and that was mine. And obviously I don't know what was said or ordered because I WAS NOT THERE. He just dropped it off and made no mention of matcha cream not being available, either way $8 is way too expensive for a matcha this quality. I never once said I want to do a collab with your shop he was probably just trying to support me and my page because I enjoy making content and run a fun little matcha page. I have actually made a video/post in the past expressing how much I enjoyed your shop and matcha and it's still accessible on my page but probably not after this interaction. Very odd and rude response for a simple review:/ all I said was the old matcha was better....sorry that struck a nerve.

The coffee is on point and the food is fresh. The first time I tried the breakfast tacos with chorizo and I was just in heaven. But I was even more amazed when I got the BLT on the homemade focaccia bread. Oh my goodness, the bread was a perfect mesh of crispy outside and soft inside. I have no idea how that did it, but I was seriously in love with this sandwich and am still thinking about it as I write this. The tomato was fresh and the lettuce was crisp and the entire thing was a culinary masterpiece (for a sandwich). The aioli on it was perfect. The coffee is also great and I tried both a mocha as well as their regular coffee. Everyone is extremely nice and they go out of their way for your experience. Many cyclists stop here after a ride, so keep an eye out as the place fills up!

The whole place is filled with succulents (as it should be!). The vibe is super fun and unique, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered a vanilla iced latte and a breakfast sandwich, and both were amazing. The sandwich was perfectly balanced--crispy, flavorful, and just melted in your mouth. It came with a salsa that completely elevated it, and the best part is you can actually buy jars of it to take home (which I highly recommend). They have both indoor seating and a small outdoor patio with umbrellas, which makes it a great spot to hang out. Just a heads up--parking can get a little tight since it's in a small lot, so you might need to park on the street. If you're heading to the beach and want a solid coffee and food stop, this place is definitely worth checking out!

I pulled up while waiting on my sandwich from a nearby spot (multitasking at its finest), and decided to do what any self-respecting coffee enthusiast would do--wander into a local coffee shop like I know what "notes" I'm tasting. The barista immediately passed the vibe check and recommended the Groovy Gorilla iced latte--his personal favorite. Then he casually mentioned he makes it his own way, like some underground coffee remix. Say less. I told him to bless me with the custom version, and he delivered. (Shoutout to that man--he knew exactly what he was doing.) I also grabbed a massive chocolate chip cookie with sea salt flakes because... balance. You can't just have a handcrafted latte without a cookie the size of your face. That's against hipster coffee bylaws. First sip of the latte? Yeah... I got it. Banana, chocolate, peanut butter--basically if a smoothie and a dessert had a highly caffeinated, well-dressed child. Smooth, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink. Only downside? It's in Huntington Beach and not LA, which feels like a personal inconvenience to me. But if you're anywhere nearby, this spot is absolutely worth pulling up to. Final verdict: great coffee, great vibes, and a barista who might secretly be a flavor scientist.

Not the best for drinks but a good option if you need a place to work/study that opens somewhat late & isn't crowded. We tried the matcha monkey (banana matcha) and their new summer drink, melona matcha. Their banana matcha was pretty sweet and strong in banana flavor in the cream top and syrup, but lacked the taste of matcha. Same for the melona matcha. Super refreshing as it's made with cantaloupe milk but no matcha. Not bad but they're not known for their matcha, so I would stick to their coffee. Minor things to note - they blast the AC so I would make sure to dress warmly or bring a jacket. Parking can be a bit rough but I confirmed with the barista that they don't check parking at the front, so you can ignore the time limit!

I've been to other locations of Moongoat Coffee Roasters, and I continue to be a fan of the brand…read morebut this location was slightly less satisfying than the products I had at their other locations. The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

They have one unisex restroom. [Menu]: Unfortunately they ran out of Matcha Green Tea Mille Crêpe Cake when I came here on Sunday at 3 PM. The top Yelp highlighted drinks are #11 Houses Milk Tea (house special blended black tea, creamer & boba), #1 Pacific Sunrise (white tea, hibiscus, mint leaves and orange), #2 Strawberry Twist (jasmine tea, strawberry & lime juice), and #3 Lychee Oolong (oolong tea & lychee puree). *** Pacific Sunrise (white tea, hibiscus, mint leaves and orange - $4.95): Somewhat refreshing drink with an interesting combo, but unfortunately the drink didn't hit the spot. As few other Yelpers had stated, this drink tasted a bit watered-down but personally the water-to-tea ratio was passable. No pun intended, but this drink is not everyone's cup of tea. *** I can't say it was a superb experience given (1) they ran out of Matcha Green Tea Mille Crêpe Cake 5 hours before closing time and (2) the drink tasted mediocre.

It was a lot more like 100% at some other boba shops. The boba was also just okay. The strawberry twist was decent and nice on a hot day. If you prefer sweeter drinks, this place might be more up your alley.
