coco matcha
Arlene M.

The foam on this drink was gooood! I like that this is made with harmless harvest coconut water; I truly believe this makes the drink better! The barista was kind and worked efficiently taking orders and making drinks. I should've snapped a pic before I mixed it because of the contrast of colors, but I was too excited to try. There was a lot of parking and it is next to Vinh Loi Tofu, so I also enjoyed some vegan food after. The interior is spacious, but there is not a lot of seating if you plan to stay & work. I will definitely be back!

Biscoff cookies latte

Love the selection here! Coffee is good. Biscoff cookie latte. We order from here for our office often. Delicious.

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
Evelyn W.

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!

Strawberry matcha
Aja W.

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

Pastries
Paige A.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Leo D.

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

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.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

I use to be able to order ahead and now that's not available or it's pushed out an hour or more, if they're super busy I'd understand but I've arrived at the shop and empty, so that's crazy to me!!l The place itself seems to get a new look every time and mood is nice but service and drinks have taken a hit. One thing that is still delicious is the tomato pesto croissant. That's it.

The white rabbit matcha and buko pandan latte are my go-tos. They've also expanded their food menu since I've been coming here and have pastries, toasts, and burritos. They have a fridge of pies that are some of the best I've ever had in my lifeeeeee too. Get the sunday in June (ube crème brûlée) and thank me later. This place has become a frequent spot for me to take my toddler when I need to get work done. There's lots of outlets and even a tiny corner of toys where your toddler can play. The staff is always so kind and after spending so much time here watching the staff interact with the community, you can tell that they've built something special here! We always come back and I encourage you to check it out!

Okay listen. The drinks are overly sweet. Whatever. But one of the baristas is rude in a weird way…read more We took some time to look at the menu, then we asked "what syrups do you have?" to the cashier, and the barista next to her responded over the cashier, in like a weirdly *loud* volume to cut her off "We have what's on our menu." Ok, she wants us to read the menu. Which is no problem, but wait - the menu does *not* actually even list the syrups. Which is why we asked in the first place. So what, she just wants us stand and read the whole thing over again and hopes that we find the syrup we like within the name of another drink or? And girl why are you hollering!! Ok and when we were waiting for our drinks, the loud barista would shout at the machine because it wasn't doing what she wanted! Mind you, the store has a slight echo because of hard floor and no music. The vibe is so weird, like I can't lmao. It's not that serious but it's weird. High cortisol energy.

The interior is modern with two tables fit for 2-5 people and a bench for waiting. They have a self-order kiosk but you can order with a person too. The grapefruit tea was refreshing and had great flavor without being too sweet or bitter. I got 25% sweetness which was perfect. Aloe was an additional 75 cents. The music was good. The drink had actual chunks of fruit too. The bad: I ordered wintermelon tea but they ran out. I also wanted to use the rest room but it was out of order. There's no outdoor seating. The interesting: The cup has a paper seal but also a plastic lid on top. Suggested tip auto starts at 22%. They have tea leaves out on display so you can see that they brew tea themselves rather than use a powder. They have a red bean frappe as a seasonal flavor (are red beans a summer thing?).

It was just me and my husband so we were tempted to buy more but we could only eat so much bread in a day ahhahaa We got the double matcha strawberry and it was refreshing.

So to make it easier I pointed the right item to her and now she got a clarity that they had the wrong signage placed and she then go switched on these product labels. She immediately went to the counter and just started to transact again I guess ring in the right amount and void the first one. Again, without even letting me know but fine whatever. I guess it's okay that it was switched but customer service wise, not a single apology or acknowledgement that it was switched and they had it wrong in the beginning. I don't know maybe she's new?
