    lots of seating
    Catherine B.

    New cafe in Buena Park with lots of seating inside. Their tangerine matcha has tangerine puree and tangerine cream. I got it without the puree, and the drink was sufficiently sweet with the cream top. If you like sweeter matchas, I'd recommend keeping the puree as the matcha is unsweetened. A couple things to note: compared to the promo photos, you get a lot less cream top. It didn't even cover the top; it was more like a drizzle in the center. Also, they charge sales tax/credit card fee on the drink, so the menu price was $7.50 total ended up being something like $8.20.

    Finally tried this coffee shop! If you would like to try different and unique and awesome coffee or matcha, this place is definitely worth trying. I can't drink coffee so I tried their biscoff oat latte with decaf espresso shots and it was one of the best latte I ever had. The service is very friendly and chill vibe and quick. I love how this place interior is clean and comfortable.

    Service was nice, interior is cute, coffee drinks were tasty. It was a little hard to find, tucked away in warehouses, there's a small plaza with a Jimmy John's sandwich shop. The coffee shop is right next to the hair salon. There were a lot of people on their computers, working/studying on a Friday afternoon. I ordered the Jeju tangerine espresso tonic. It's carbonated and refreshing. I haven't had anything like it. I would get it again. I also ordered the Biscoff latte at 50% sweetness, and that was good too. I haven't tried any of their pastries, but it was cute to try out this shop!

    The staff and vibe is as relaxing as the wall experience lol. Get the scones!!! Blueberry was delicious and fun fact someone here had a mom that makes them! Delicious and the presentation was a level up! As I do, I asked for the person at the counters favorites coffee drink made the way they like it best. Delicious!!!! Boat Latte did not disappoint! Will come back again and try another scone and another of their beautifully crafted coffees.

    Such a cool spot! My partner and I stopped by after a run nearby because we wanted to try somewhere new, and I'm so glad we did. Parking was quick and easy, and the café itself has a really inviting atmosphere. There's plenty of seating, and one entire wall is covered by a massive TV that was playing the World Cup while we were there, which made it a fun place to sit and hang out. For reference, we visited around 11 a.m. on a Tuesday, so it wasn't very busy. The service was great. The employees were friendly, made conversation while we ordered, and even brought our drinks over to our table after we got distracted watching the game. It was a small gesture, but one that made the experience feel a little more personal. They even said goodbye from a distance after we left. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte, and my partner got a Vanilla Latte with cold foam. Both drinks were smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful without being overly sweet. Personally, I would've liked a slightly stronger espresso flavor, but that's just my preference. I could definitely always just ask for an extra shot! Overall, they were both really enjoyable. This is definitely somewhere I'd come back to, not just for the coffee, but for the atmosphere. It's the kind of place that's easy to spend a while in, and I'm already looking forward to trying more of the menu.

    My new favorite coffee shop! The interiors and ambiance of this place is so welcoming. They also have giant uno cards, Jenga, and other games you play while you wait. I love their huge projector screen. So peaceful. The scones are amazing as well. I also love their honey oat coffee. Even better with lactose free alternatives.

    Lots of parking and seating Cute cafe Matcha strong flavor We tried the cinnamon toast matcha and the jeju matcha latte which were good Also tried the ube and earl grey scones - i wish it came w some jam and butter cause it was a bit dry to eat Large tv screen - we watched japan vs Netherlands world cup game there - fun and chill vibe Will definitely be back

    Stopped by Before & After Coffee Shop recently, and the first thing that caught my attention was the name. It's such a cute concept, and thankfully the coffee shop itself lives up to it. The café is located in a larger plaza surrounded by several other businesses, making it easy to find. There's plenty of parking available, which is always a plus. The only thing I'd note is that the parking lot has a lot of turns and connecting sections that lead to additional businesses deeper into the complex. It can feel a little narrow in certain spots, and traffic tends to keep moving, so just be mindful of other cars while navigating through the lot. Once inside, the space felt bright, clean, and welcoming. The menu was easy to read and not overwhelming, which I appreciated. There was plenty of seating available, making it a comfortable spot whether you're meeting a friend, catching up on work, or just enjoying a drink. I originally came in for two drinks that immediately caught my attention: the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha and the Biscoff Cookie Latte. I ended up purchasing both, but since the Biscoff latte wasn't for me, I'll save my thoughts on that drink for a future visit after I've had the chance to try it myself. For this visit, I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha, and the presentation was adorable. They topped the drink with actual Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal pieces resting on the foam, which immediately made me smile, because Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal was a childhood favorite of mine. As for the flavor, it's important to know what you're ordering. If you're looking for a traditional matcha experience where the earthy notes and quality of the matcha are the star of the show, this probably isn't the drink for you. Once mixed, the dominant flavors are cinnamon, sweet cereal milk, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Personally, I thought it was delicious, but it drinks more like a fun dessert-inspired specialty beverage than a classic matcha. If you have a sweet tooth, enjoy creative drinks, or just want something nostalgic and different, I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try. The café also has a large screen mounted on one wall, and during my visit it wasn't loud or distracting at all. It actually felt like a nice place to study, work, or have a conversation. I'm not sure what the atmosphere is like later in the day, especially if sports or other events are being shown, but during my visit it was relaxed and comfortable. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back. Between the Biscoff Cookie Latte and several coffee options that caught my eye, I already have a reason to return. If you're looking for a cute coffee shop with plenty of seating, easy parking, and creative specialty drinks, Before & After Coffee Shop is worth checking out.

    Vanilla Latte, Matcha Latte, butter scone and Kaymak
    Celinda G.

    Tried this spot for the first time and it didn't disappoint. The service was great, the coffee and matcha delicious. We had the butter scone which was super yummy and tired the Kaymak for the first time and it was so good. I enjoyed the visual scenery of Japan on their screen that took up the entire wall.

    Boat Latte (Biscoff Oat Latte) and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha Latte
    Jocelyn A.

    My sister recommended Before n After and we love a good matcha, so we definitely had to try! We ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha & the Boat Latte. Both were so good and definitely recommend. They did have some food/snack items, we didn't try but would love to come back and order. They had seating inside which seems like such a cool place to study or hang out with friends. They have tons of parking in their parking lot, and it was super easy to find. Hope to come again soon!(:

    Loving this cafe~ The ambiance is super cozy and laid-back--we had the best time just chillin'. I totally loved the mirror inside that looks amazing reflecting the sunset. My niece was craving matcha and it was good. Would've been cool to see a few more matcha options on the menu though. I'm definitely trying that strawberry latte next time. We also had a blast playing some fun games while we were there. It was great family chill time. Oh, and the service was friendly, there's a restroom inside, plus plenty of parking, which is super convenient. Solid 4 for the matcha and a solid 5 for the vibe!

    Chill Korean cafe vibes in La Palma. Went for an after dinner dessert. Parking was plentiful in the large plaza. Ordered the strawberry latte and an earl grey scone, and also had a taste of the Korean rice latte. The strawberry latte was pretty good, I think could have used some fresh strawberries along with less preserves, as it was a little too sweet - but didn't mind it overall. The Korean rice latte was also a little on the sweeter side also. The scone was a bit too dry for my liking - so may pass on that next time around. Overall - the vibe is pretty good with the large screen (though wonder how hot it would get in the summer time) - might switch up the scone for a cookie next time though.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha Latte
    Anette Bravo

    I got a go and a Cinnamon Toast matcha latte, and I really liked it ! It had a very strong cinnamon flavor, which I'm a huge fan of. It tasted exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal milk in the best possible way but the matcha flavor still came through nicely. The ube scone was decent, though the ube flavor was pretty light. I'd definitely like to come back and try some of their other scone flavors to see how they compare.

But since I have to rate the overall experience, I just can't give it five stars this time.

I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

Corn mochi was quite interesting but I learned to like it. Sweet Potato mochi was solid and then I didn't try the Chestnut mochi. It was overall a good setting to get work done and plug your laptop in, use their wifi or restroom.

We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.
