Such a cute coffee shop that we had to try! It was all over tiktok so I did expect that it was going to be pretty busy when we came on a Sunday around 4PM. There was a line and it took us about 45 minutes from arriving to getting our drink. There's a huge LED screen playing studio ghibli clips which was super cute. Not sure if they brand themselves as a studio ghibli cafe (if so they should consider having more studio ghibli decor throughout the coffee shop as well, unless they were just playing it at that time). We loved the matcha Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I like that they added cereal on top. The matcha had a good nutty flavor and paired really well with the cinnamon. It would be nice to get the coffee without a lid first to be able to drink it with the cereal while it's still crunch, and then add the lid after otherwise the cereal gets soggy. The pear tonic was pretty good too, it's on the sour side and a pear flavor is extremely subtle (wish it stranded out more) but the concept was really unique! There's a good amount of table and seats to study and get work done as well. Parking is easy as it's located in a plaza. read more

Jalapeño & cheese bagel with a chive cream cheese + a dirty matcha = a great morning. The bagel was fresh, soft and crispy, and the cream cheese had an amazing homemade taste. The dirty matcha was much needed this morning. The espresso on top was a great balance to the sweetness of the matcha. I will be coming back to try their strawberry matcha and their awesome customer service. read more

Excellent experience here at Before n After in the city of La Palma located at Centerpointe and near the Isla Cubana restaurant! There was plenty of free parking and it was easily accessible from Orangethorpe and or the 91 freeway. Upon entering, the LED screen is what gets your attention and was showing a snowy scene that helped with the ambience and created a sense of coziness with this cafe. I ordered the jalapeno bagel toasted with the garden veggie cream cheese spread on the side as well as an iced Biscoff latte to wash it all down. The staff were friendly and nice, we were greeted right away and they seemed very sweet, not rushed or too pushy, just right. "Before" coming here, I looked on Yelp and was happy to see that their reviews were all good. "After" coming here, it gave me a reason to come back for their flavors and service, and above all the atmosphere was very cheery and light. Before n After, I shall return! read more

Employees are super friendly and it has a nice and calming vibe to it. I appreciate the big screen as well which of course is what draws many in. I will say it's not a biiig boba spot so if you're checking from Apple Maps (it comes up if you search Boba near me) it's not the best for boba drinks but it does have really good coffee and is a good vibe if that's what you're looking for.

Before n After in La Palma is such a gem. The owner and his family are incredibly kind and welcoming -- you can really tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The customer service alone makes you want to come back. The space itself is light, inviting, and super friendly -- the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. I tried the boat latte and a blueberry scone, and both were so good. I ended up bringing lattes home for my family, and they were immediately hooked. I already can't wait to bring my girlfriends here. We love checking out new coffee spots, and this one quickly became a favorite. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to again and again. read more

Edit: Thank you, Mr. Kyle for your response! Hopefully you can provide bigger tanks. Best of luck to your flourishing business. First and foremost, I'd like to start off the review and say it has nothing to do with staff. They were friendly and helped my coworker and I decide to what to order. I stopped by one morning before work to grab a quick pick-me-up and I ended up getting the Cinnamon Toast Crunch matcha (could be called something else, I forget the exact name.) While I was waiting, we looked around at the decor and noticed there were live betta fish in TINY, absolutely minuscule containers with no room to swim. They were just floating in there as decor. If you're in the coffee shop, you'll see multiple living betta fish to the right of the ordering counter in very, very small containers just to fit the cafe's "aesthetic." I was a bit hesitant on writing this review because I really don't know what the outcome for the fish will be. My hope is that the the owners do something about the bettas' poor living conditions. read more

Got the Boat Latte to drink which was their version of a biscoff latte and it was very good! Split an order of the Kaymak with my girlfriend and it was delicious! Creamy and sweet with 5 slices of toasted bread. Studied here for about 1.5 hours and it was fun. Service was very friendly and they have a large LED screen wall that serves as a cool feature point. Definitely will be returning! read more

Came here to try their viral Cinnamon Toast Crunch matcha and it did not disappoint. The drink already comes with oat milk and is definitely really really sweet so keep that in mind. The service itself was amazing, the workers were really on top of it, very welcoming and even going as far as delivering my drinks straight to me. The cafe is pretty small but they definitely try to make it work and have some tables around so you stay a while or come maybe do a group study sess. All in all, it's a pretty small but cute cafe with a lot of options for drinks (: read more

My daughter and I visited for their official grand opening. A great location in a busy shopping center, although plenty of parking. This is family owned and operated location. The entire Bak family was on site, greeting everyone as they arrived, and serving up delicious drinks. I ordered the Aloe-Ha for myself and the Strawberry Lemonade for my daughter. We both tried eachothers, and ultimately, my daughter stole my Aloe-Ha, and I ended up with the Strawberry Lemonade. We both enjoyed both drinks, they were equally refreshing for this warm SoCal day, so it was hard to decide. We look forward to trying more of the menu in the future. They have a cute pastry case with some delicious-looking options. We had just had lunch prior to stopping in, so we didn't partake this time, but those treats are also on our list to try. The place was really clean with plenty of seating inside, and it looked like a few seats outside as well. They have a huge screenwall! Today there was a cozy winter scenery, but word on the streets is that there could be different entertainment on the screens in the future. We had the chance to spin a prize wheel during the grand opening, and while we were there, the 100th customer of the day was celebrated and given a prize. Darn, I missed it by about 4 people! Lol. It was a very inviting environment and we look forward to visiting again soon. read more

The Jeju Tangerine Matcha Latte was one of the best drinks I've had! I loved how refreshing it was, with a slight tanginess that wasn't overly sweet. The Aloe-ha was also delicious, with a refreshing blend of coconut water and a hint of lychee flavor. The ambiance was cute, warm, and comfortable, with a nice casual vibe. I'd love to come back and try more of their drinks and treats! read more

Just had the biscoff matcha and it was delicious! It is a great place to study in and everyone is so friendly! :))

We visited 1/4/26 and everything was very good but we found a hair that went through our blueberry scones. Seems like it was in the mix and got baked into it. CA food service employees are required to restrain/cover long hair and we noticed one employee with their hair down. This is a great up and coming coffee shop so would love to see an improvement with this. Besides that, the drinks were great! the scone tasted great as well (minus the hair of course) so we'd definitely recommend to our friends and family. The workers were nice, and understandably busy as it was a busy time when we visited. read more

This cafe is absolutely amazing! The ambiance is extremely picturesque and aesthetically pleasing!!! I never thought cinnamon and matcha could pair well with each other, but their Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha Latte blew me away! I'm not particularly keen on extremely sweet things, but their drinks and pastries retain such a perfect balance!

New cafe alert! I love how cute and intentional every aspect of this cafe is, even down to naming every one of their beta fish. The drinks are SOOOO good. I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch matcha and the matcha texture was so creamy and good. The baked goods are made in house and it's so good and fresh and yummy. I'm obsessed. Also the service is great, the owner, Kyle, is super nice and went through explaining the whole menu to me.

Beautiful cafe that serves delicious coffee, matcha and scones. Calming and scenic environment that you can relax in.

I tried a Korean pear espresso tonic, and the sharp fizz of the tonic, the subtle sweetness of the Korean pear, and the nutty richness of the coffee blended together so well. It was a completely new coffee experience--unlike anything I've ever tasted before read more
