My girlfriend has been raving about this newer spot, so I finally gave it a try--best decision ever. The interior is a great size with a super cute aesthetic. 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. read more

While in the area, I visited 8th Symphony and picked up a Tiramisu Cloud Latte and a Blueberry Matcha Latte. Both drinks were delicious and I enjoyed that I was able to pick my milk of choice at no additional charge. I also loved the detail of the Ladyfinger given for the Tiramisu. Atmosphere was bright and a good amount of people were working or studying and it was extremely quiet. Bathroom was clean and fresh. Great place to try out if you love coffee and teas! read more

I love trying new coffee shops, so I was really excited to check out 8th Symphony Coffee. This spot was recommended to me by Aljelyn A., and is located at the back of the plaza that also houses Pinoy Pinay and Meet Fresh. Upon walking in, I was impressed by how large and spacious the area was. The menu was just as inviting, with so many drinks to choose from. I had a hard time deciding what to get and was torn between the Tiramisu Cloud Latte and the Biscoff Latte. I ended up choosing the Biscoff Latte on the barista's recommendation. The Biscoff Latte was such a delicious drink. I loved the mix of espresso, Biscoff sauce and biscoff crumbles. It was smooth, sweet and perfectly creamy. This spot definitely knows how to make a good latte. Overall, I really enjoyed the Biscoff Latte and am looking forward to trying their other drinks here. I can't wait to come back! read more

Great atmosphere, with good seating, clean and chill music to listen to. Not too loud if you're working or studying. The employees are friendly and ask your opinion of the drinks. We didn't get any food but the display was clean, well maintained and picture perfect. We did order an iced espresso ($4) which my hubby gave a 7.8 and says the price is worth it. I got the strawberry matcha ($7 and comes with oat milk) and I would order it again. Not super sweet and the matcha is great. Not grainy or too earthy. The strawberry puree is really the only sweetener, so that's why it not super sweet. A suggestion is to make a pineapple matcha. I had one the other day and it was bomb! Made with coconut milk. So like a matcha pina colada. Mmmm read more

Hands down the best coffee spot in the Cerritos area They have the Nami Matcha, which is SO good--definitely a standout. The ambiance is amazing too, super relaxing with great music always playing in the background. It's the perfect place to study, work, or just unwind. They also have a solid selection of food and drinks, and the guava refresher is a MUST try Highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby! read more

Ah! I really wanted to love this place. I ordered two different drinks. The vanilla latte was good and creamy. My only let down is that I saw that the shop doesn't have house made syrups! That was such a bummer because it seems like they use nami matcha! The matcha seemed water downed even though I got it with oat milk. I know that if they made house made syrups, the drinks can even be better! Overall, the place was okay. Loved how there was a lot of seats and space to enjoy the drinks and study. read more

I am not from Cerritos so i am going off of the other comparable coffee shop I have tried. Went to Holos Coffee yesterday to study and have to be in the area for several hours today for the same, and wanted to try another coffee place. This is also in a strip mall. At 10:30 it is still pretty empty but still enough parties here (approx 6) --to take up basically all the available outlets that I can see here, which runs counter to what another reviewer said about this place having soooo many outlets for laptops. Ordered a hot mocha ganache and it automatically comes in the lidded plastic cup so no differentiation between drinking here or to go, depending on whether you like that or not. Where I had to get a jacket from the car at the other place, it's a little warm in here, which is fine by me, depending on when they decide to the ac on (once it got warm i noticed they turned up ac). The space is bigger so while there appear to be fewer seating areas, you have a little more personal space than at Holos, which I can appreciate. Someone remarked that they couldnt study with the music but while both have the same kind of music, I don't have people yapping right night to my ears, so it's not as distracting at 8th. I know you can't totally tune out everything but I definitely don't want to hear people's conversations crystal clear as I can at holos. Here you have more space. I can put my arm out and not necessarily be able to punch someone lol Aesthetically, this place has more to offer with the windows giving more natural light overall than only simply affecting those sitting closest to the windows. Given the square footage here compared to the other, sound flows better so that you can focus better than where you can hear every damn thing in a smaller space. As for the coffee between both places so far from each of the drinks I've tried they're comparable in taste so I could go either way. Both good options but I would go with 8th if you want more space and/or have a group, come earlier and there should be a spot to accommodate larger parties with more certainty compared to it being more packed at this time at Holos. Planned on waiting for the laptop camper next to me to leave so I can hijack his outlet but this chick swooped out from across the room and jacked the spot before I could slide the 1 foot over to sit there so I guess it's a commodity here for the 6 outlets or so they have. I guess you gotta be prepared to start planting your stuff before the person is even done. read more

8th Symphony Coffee - No matter how many times I do this I still try not to look too weird taking a pic of my drink lol - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cerritos, California

To be completely honest, I came to this coffee shop for two reasons: 1) they proudly serve Nami Matcha which I've been dying to try based on their reviews and 2) they are a Filipino-owned small business. What better way to support than to come and try their drinks. The shop is located in a relatively large plaza with accessible parking spaces in front. The shop itself was well maintained, clean, and aesthetically pleasing with bright lights and couch or chair options available for customers. The service provided was okay, served us with the appropriate amount of customer service required to take our orders. The coffee and matcha drinks were good, a little on the stronger side of espresso, with not as much sweetness (depending on what you prefer). Overall, I was slightly disappointed with the customer service and creativity in the drinks ~ however, if I'm ever in the area I may want to try it again. read more

My first visit to 8th Symphony was great. The service was friendly and the order was completed quickly. Parking is tight, but this is an excellent place to work or study because it's super quiet inside. The Tiramisu Cloud Latte and Blueberry Matcha Latte were both tasty & refreshing.

Yummy drinks with cute desserts. Ordered a matcha cream top as a post-lunch drink, and I liked that it came as a double matcha. Strong matcha flavor in every sip, and tbh it kind of tasted like liquified matcha ice cream, haha. I approve of 8th Symphony Coffee! read more

We were having lunch nearby and stepped into 8th Symphony Coffee because my friends wanted to try @yourmomashley's Nami Matcha, which this café proudly serves (and sells here for $42 a tin). The space itself is bright, open, and clean design and a variety of seating options (we opted for the cozy couch area). Unfortunately, the drinks were a huge letdown. I ordered the Double Matcha with whole milk. It was super creamy but really sweet, with almost no actual matcha flavor. It was green, sure, but tasted more like a dessert than a matcha drink. My friend's hojicha latte was just as disappointing. It didn't taste like hojicha at all, more like a watered-down sweet milk drink with a faint, vague earthy aftertaste, but nothing distinctly hojicha. My other friend ordered an iced matcha latte, which tasted the most matcha-forward of the three, but still wasn't a good matcha. I also ordered a cold brew to-go and while it was good, I definitely think it was on the sweeter side. Disappointing experience, another influencer smokescreen cracked. read more

Good parking with a bold espresso? Ooh this is definitely a hidden gem tucked away in a large plaza! I had their iced latte, and after ordering was delighted to find a spot at a nearby table. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere is clean! And when I say clean, I mean sparkly clean and comfortable to work in - with headphones. The music is definitely interesting; imagine studying and hearing some *explicit* music - yup definitely raised an eyebrow! But other than that, it was a productive time. Highly Recommended: Bring your own music (and earbuds). read more

Loved the friendly service, ample parking, and the beautifully decorated interior of this shop. Contrary to the exterior appearance, it's bright and airy inside with lots of seating options. I particularly enjoyed the basque cheesecake! Not too sweet, airy, and just the right amount of bitterness. The strawberry matcha was also not too sweet and complimented my cake perfectly. I think I would want to get them with slightly more sweetness added to it the next time. I also didn't taste or smell much strawberry. Otherwise it was perfect. Looking forward to returning again in the future. read more

went here after running and I've been wanting to come here because of their drink selections. I got their biscoff latte because I loveeeee biscoff. Saturday morning was quite busy because they collaborate with a run club. Expect longer longer wait time, but you can save time by ordering online. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. There are couple seats as well. It's a very cozy place to work or study. personally, I love their aesthetic and decorations. They also sell some cute merch. read more

I honestly believe that I have had my first flawless experience at a coffee shop. When I walked into 8th Symphony I immediate felt comfortable. There was no confusion as to where to start. The smiles felt genuine and the service didn't feel forced. The vibe inside overall was pretty standard as far as ambience goes. I feel most coffee shops now days have the same minimalistic style inside. The coffee was amazing, it was smooth and there wasn't any type of crazy aftertaste. Overall, I highly recommend it. read more

I was looking for a spot to grab a latte and Yelp took my here and it didn't disappoint. Ordered the strawberry shortcake matcha, blueberry matcha, and strawberry milk - all were a hit! The blueberry and strawberry purees in the respective drinks were delicious and added just the right amount of sweetness to the drinks. I enjoyed the Strawberry cream topped in the strawberry shortcake matcha. In addition to beverages, they offer pastries as well. Friendly, quick service. Good amount of tables to enjoy your items.

I came up from SD and decided to try this place since I was in the area. Me and bestie got the matcha strawberry shortcake (both have oat milk). The color of the matcha was so vibrant and had a smooth, strong flavor. The strawberry shortcake cream top was light and not overpowering. We also tried the biscoff cheesecake and it was so good. One thing, though, is the base of the cheesecake was hard but everything else was very delicious. The inside was very simple and clean, great for studying. I'm excited to try more of their menu when I come back! read more

AMAZING! Both matcha and coffee are delicious! There's a good amount of seating inside to study and plugs in certain wall areas! I would definitely recommend trying this place and also to study!

The space itself is really nice. It is very spacious with lots of different seating options, plenty of outlets, and solid WiFi. It is comfortable, cute, and a great place to study or hang out for a while. The space is definitely the highlight and a big reason I would consider coming back. Unfortunately, the drinks were a disappointment for me. I tried the matcha cloud latte and the strawberry matcha latte. The matcha cloud latte mostly tasted like milk. The foam was decent, but I have definitely had better matcha foam elsewhere. The strawberry matcha latte was not good at all. It tasted like strawberry water and was very thin with almost no matcha flavor. I did not try any of the coffee, so I might give that a try next time. The space is great, but the matcha drinks did not live up to expectations. read more

The Iced Matcha Latte was so good! I got an Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. The matcha in the Matcha Latte is a good balance of sweet and bitter. It's very enjoyable! The latte was a bit frothy at the top, but I'm assuming it's because the matcha was made the traditional way. The cafe is very big and clean. There's plenty of seating, and a good amount of people use the cafe as a study spot. Some of the tables have an extension for your drink which is so nice because you can use the whole table for your schoolwork or laptop. The employees are very kind and helpful! They were very patient when I wanted to look at the menu because this was my first time here! My drink also came out very quickly. I would come here again, and I would definitely come here to study! There's a lot of interesting drinks on the menu that I want to try, the employees are kind and patient, and there's tons of seating and tables. read more

8th Symphony Coffee - Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cerritos, California

I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk however, I was a little disappointed with my drink. It tasted mostly like milk. Mine was a lot lighter in color compared to others so I asked someone what they got and they ordered the Matcha Cloud. So if you like matcha, I would recommend the cloud, not the regular one. The regular is a lot lighter in color and for $1 more you can add an extra gram of matcha which is totally affordable and worth the additional price. They just recently started serving Nami Matcha a few weeks after I had gone, which is super exciting. I actually purchase that matcha for myself for at home, I specifically like the Yame First Harvest. It's nutty in flavor and super delicious so if you get a Nami matcha latte from here, it's a safe bet. Sometimes I feel like it's a gamble paying $7-8 for a matcha, not knowing how it's going to taste. Parking can be really hard to find at this location. I came on a Sunday afternoon and after finding parking and ordering my drink it was also hard to find seating inside so just keep that mind depending on what day/time you go. read more

One of my new favorite coffee shops in town. The biscoff latte is my favorite coffee here so far. We also got the tiramisu latte and the matcha and they were delicious. The biscoff latte comes with a cream top and crumbled biscoff cookies. The Tiramisu comes with a creamy tiramisu topping and a lady finger to dip. The service is nice and friendly. I did get the butterscotch latte the other day and it was creamy but I didn't taste like butterscotch, maybe they didn't put enough. I have been here a few times and will definitely come back for a treat. read more

I had a London Fog here that was unreal! Sooo good and creamy and just the perfect amount of sweetness. Usually london fogs are overly milky and have a very weak earl grey taste but this one did not disappoint! I will say, I removed one star only because I ordered a bacon cheddar scone and they didn't even offer to heat it up and it was dry. Maybe that just wasn't the best pastry choice. But overall, would come back again to get another London Fog and try other drinks! read more

I stopped by 8th Symphony Café and honestly loved it! I got the Peanut Butter Cups drink and it was so good -- literally like drinking a bowl of cereal in the best way. The cereal on top was actually a nice touch too. I also tried the Biscoff Latte. It was good, especially considering I subbed whole milk for oat milk and it still kept the flavor. I do wish they added a little Biscoff spread along the inside of the cup for that extra biscoff-y goodness, but overall it was solid. The café itself is super aesthetic -- cozy, cute, and definitely the type of place where you can sit with your laptop, do homework, or read a book. I'd come back for the vibes alone.

I finally stop by here after so long. We got tiramisu cloud latte and hojicha latte. They were really good. Great coffee! I got my hojicha with almond milk. They don't charge extra for milk alternative. I also got half sugar and glad I did. They run on sweeter side. I know they're not known for hojicha but I really really like their hojicha. I don't know if it's bc I got it with almond milk but it definitely hit the spot. The espresso they used in tiramisu was really strong and cream top was sweet. It balances out each other. It's also very spacious inside. Lots of seats and tables for chit chat or work. Bring your Laptop! You'll love doing work here especially with that coffee aroma in the air. read more

8th Symphony Coffee has a modern, minimalistic aesthetic, which I love. They offer a good variety of pastries along with coffee and other types of beverages. I ordered the DMP ($5.50) and the Cream Cheese Jalapeño croissant ($6). The DMP was okay - nothing to write home about, and I probably wouldn't get it again. The flavors just didn't go well together. The jalapeño croissant, although pricey, was very good. The croissant was flaky, and the inside was filled with just the right amount of cheese and jalapeño. I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit this place. However, if I were in this plaza craving a really good croissant or coffee, I'd stop by again. read more

We needed some caffeine before going to Cerritos Mall and wanted to try a new coffee shop. 8th Symphony was a great find :) It's a little hard to find because it's on South Street but set back behind other buildings so it is easy to drive by. There is a good amount of shared parking but it could get full when the nearby restaurant is busy. It is a nice sized modern designed shop with plenty of seating including a large table that can be shared or accommodate a large party. The drinks are very good we had Flat White & Iced Vanilla Latte. Both were delish my Flat White was rich & creamy and the Latte was flavorful. Baristas were friendly and the shop has a peaceful atmosphere perfect for work or studying. read more

Tiramisu Latte--7.5/10 the tiramisu foam was really rich and it was really satisfying to dip the lady finger it comes with in the tiramisu foam. I was hoping the latte itself would be stronger but it was a little watered down, but the overall flavor itself was good. Biscoff Latte--7/10 good, but the coffee and Biscoff flavor was a bit weak in this one as well. It had Biscoff pieces in it which added a nice texture and the foam was also rich and creamy. Biscoff Cheesecake Box--8/10 really rich cheesecake with a lot of Biscoff pieces on the bottom. Just a tad sweet but the flavor was so good. Overall, the flavor of the coffee in the drinks I tried was on the weaker side. That said, I do prefer my coffee strong so if you're looking for a "sweet treat" type of drink this is the place for you! There was a lot of seating and tables inside--great for a hangout or good place to study if you don't mind the noise. However, I did go on a Saturday so it was really busy with limited seating so I would keep that in mind. I would come back and definitely give some of the other drinks a chance! read more

I visited this popular coffee shop on a weekday afternoon. Located in Artesia's Diamond Crest Plaza, there is plenty of parking. The interior has a lot of seating but it was crammed full of folks hanging out (and a few laptop campers) with not a single seat available when I walked in. I ordered an iced Biscoff latte from the friendly woman taking orders and also chose an almond croissant from the pastry case, slightly warmed up at her recommendation. Luckily for me, a counter seat at a window opened up just after I made my payment. In a couple minutes my name was called to pick up my order. The iced Biscoff latte was fantastic, the smooth brew (double shot) complemented by the mellow flavor of Biscoff cookie. Cream and Biscoff crumbles on top made it a pleasurable drink. The almond croissant was large and delicious. The rich frangipane filling was superb with a bold flavor. Whoever makes them deserves a round of applause. I've somehow overlooked this place in my past adventures in the Artesia/Cerritos area but it's now on my list of places to stop in for coffee and a pastry when I'm in the area. read more

My teenage daughter wanted a Matcha drink and here we are. There are quite a few coffee/tea houses in this area; however, it seems to have its own followers. Love the name, so classic! I am not sure it's the inside air pressure on a hot summer day, or something else all entirely, I had to muster all my muscle strength to open its thick glass door to get inside. Obstacle one accomplished on our quest to macha latte! LOL! From the servers to the lounging crowd, I think the average is about ~20 and younger, definitely a youth heaven! Great decor. I like the wooden long stretched bar table that ran along the glass window which allows for more seats. $9 for a Macha latte! I am so outdated! Anyway, inflation is to be blamed. They also served pasties in addition to the coffee and tea. My daughter is happy with her Macha and I am sure there would be more trips here once she starts driving. read more

On my first visit to 8th Symphony, I tried the matcha cloud latte, which was solid and creamy. I came back for their first Beats and Beans DJ event and had such a fun time. I ordered the Biscoff croffle, which was made-to-order and super tasty. I will say that the paper knives and forks that they offer are a nice environmentally friendly touch, but weren't actually efficient at cutting through the croffle. I also tried out their hojicha latte, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. The roasted nutty flavor was missing and it leaned more milky than I wanted. All in all, the shop is cute with a good menu. I especially loved the concept of having live DJ events, definitely brought such a cool vibe for a coffee shop, and I'm really hoping they keep doing more things like that in the future! Definitely a spot I'll keep an eye on. read more
