    SF vanilla latte $6.00
    Jessica M.

    I visited 8th Symphony Coffee today as part of my mission to find the best sugar‑free latte while cutting out sugary drinks from my diet. I placed a mobile order, and the process was smooth I received text updates when my order was confirmed and again when it was ready for pickup. The sugar‑free latte was impressive, definitely an 8/10. It was delicious with just a slight aftertaste, which is pretty common for sugar‑free drinks. I've had a few from other spots without that aftertaste, but overall this one was still very enjoyable. My husband ordered his usual hot drip coffee, which we always do when trying new locations so we can compare both iced and hot options. We're still searching for a place that truly satisfies his drip‑coffee cravings this one wasn't quite the winner for him. The staff was friendly, and the café has a good amount of seating, though most tables were taken during our visit. Very quiet and pleasant. Parking was also completely full, so be prepared for a busy lot if you stop by during peak hours.

    Mission accomplished: matcha cravings satisfied!! We swung by 8 Symphony Coffee for my favorite kind of happiness, ceremonial-grade matcha!! The place was buzzing, but since our order was to-go, we were in and out without much of a wait. Big shoutout to Aron for being friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Customer service like that deserves an extra sprinkle of matcha powder!!! Thank you very matcha!! Then came the first sip. Boom!!!! That ceremonial-grade matcha delivered exactly what it should: bold, earthy, nutty, and gloriously green. No weak, sad matcha pretending to be something it's not. This was the real deal!!! Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the area. Finding legit ceremonial-grade matcha isn't always easy, but 8 Symphony Coffee understood the assignment.

    Pink coconut matcha cloud

    Loved the service here! Tucked away in a pretty random location, but I really enjoyed my pink coconut matcha cloud for a mid afternoon caffeine boost. Super refreshing on a hot day! I definitely want to come back and try the regular matcha drinks and coffee options.

    Iced Tiramisu Latte
    Anna K. S.

    I love places that care about how they present their food and drinks. This is one of those places. I didn't get to take a photo of the ladyfinger that comes with the iced tiramisu latte, because it was so good that I chomped it down in 10 seconds. My drink had a cloud cream top and the drink was delicious to the last drop. I've had the chorizo & egg croissant, not my fave. But their chocolate croissant and their bacon cheddar scone was perfect! I've come back a total of three times now, and I live in the west San Fernando Valley for reference. Lucky for me, it's near my sister's house. The service is great, they have ample seating and a good amount of parking. You can work or study here. They also have merch!

    A cup full of ice....
    Ali M.

    I was really disappointed with my coffee from 8th Symphony Coffee. For the price they charge, I expected to actually get a full cup of coffee, but more than 3/4 of the cup was ice. After just a few sips, the drink was basically gone. I understand iced drinks need ice, but this was excessive and definitely not worth the price. If I'm paying premium coffee shop prices, I expect a reasonable amount of the actual drink, not a cup mostly filled with ice. Very disappointing experience.

    Strawberry matcha

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Danielle Y.

    Very clean modern coffee shop. There was plenty of parking. The inside had a good amount of seating but it was still pretty full on a Saturday afternoon. Looked like a good place to study or get work done. They have a decent variety of drinks along with pastries. Got a regular matcha latte and a biscoff latte with foam, was very good

    Raymond B.

    Very spacious inside! We went with the tiramisu coffee & strawberry matcha and for our first times at this place, we were very impressed! Very tasty and would love to try more drinks at this place!

    Blueberry Matcha Latte and Tiramisu Cloud Latte
    Ana T.

    This is a really great coffee spot. It's spacious, and service was great. There are some tables and chairs to sit and chat with friends. We ordered the Blueberry Matcha Latte and Tiramisu Cloud Latte. Both drinks were really good.

    No matter how many times I do this I still try not to look too weird taking a pic of my drink lol

    Ask the Community - 8th Symphony Coffee

    Do you have sugar free syrups?

    We do offer Sugar-Free Vanilla

    Is it dog friendly? As in, can I pop in with my pup to place an order with him next to me then leave after getting it type of dog friendly?

    I would say so. I've seen some people come in and out with their pups after receiving their order. I think so long as they're not disruptive during the visit.

During one visit, requesting a simple sprinkle of cinnamon resulted in an unnecessary comment, after asking for cinnamon on my iced latte, Marcy (a shift supervisor) looked at me with annoyance and said "just to let you know it's hydrophobic so it's not going to mix" On another visit, when I tried to order my usual iced Americano with cold foam, Marcy refused, saying "those are just the rules." Even when I asked to simply purchase a side of cream top instead, she refused to sell it to me--which was baffling, considering other staff members have been making this exact drink for me without issue for the past two weeks. After messaging the owner, he explained that the shop restricts drink modifications to speed up service. However, the obvious miscommunication among staff shouldn't fall on the customer. It was extremely uncomfortable to be shut down and given a hard time by Marcy. While every business has the right to set its menu rules, denying basic customizations and refusing to sell a side of cream top feels overly rigid for a local coffee shop. The strict atmosphere makes for a stressful customer experience.
