Their drinks are also just as good as their bread! I've had their banana crème matcha latte, sea salt taro latte, and most recently, their kobo-jicha latte. The kobo-jicha might be my new favorite! Will be back soon.

We sat outside to eat our pastries and they tasted great fresh. The salt & butter roll was my favorite, so simple but soft and pillowy. They use Hokkaido flour which gives their pastries a unique texture, They have a lot of options including both sweet and savory. The only thing that kind of let me down was their honey butter croissant... it's just a little tip of a croissant, it was tasty but a tiny portion. The croissant low key reminded us of Costco croissants (no shade to Costco lol). We also ordered drinks, and their matcha tasted great! Overall if you're looking for some delicious and adorable treats, I recommend trying it!

The establishment is new with a lot of seating. The display for the pastries was good, big, and clean. I had never been to this place before and asked the person taking my order what was a popular drink and got a response of "the lattes" no specific one but that. I asked which matcha was good or popular and she just said "all of them." I'm not picky but it's an honest question for being a first timer. I ended up getting two different drinks but didn't really want to stay there any longer than I had to because of the unwelcoming feeling. Don't know if it was the uniform or not. The drinks were good but the matcha was all milk, hardly and matcha flavor. I wanted hot but came cool. I didn't want to request it to be heated up just incase they wanted to do something to my drink. Don't know if I would go here again. I've been to another location and did not have this experience. So try it out yourself. The other location I went to was different, maybe cause I went through the drive-thru and my uniform wasn't seen until later.

We got our coffee and food in less than 6 minutes, which was impressive. The place is pretty spacious with plenty of tables, so it's a great spot to sit down, enjoy your coffee, and hang out for a bit. Here's what we tried: Butterscotch Nitro Cold Brew - BANGING! Vanilla Cold Brew - Also banging! Classic Breakfast Burrito - Banging! Blueberry Muffin - Really good. Ham & Cheese Quiche - Really good. Vegan Donut - Honestly, even this was fire!

Omg! I just moved to the North OC area, and I'm happy to say I've found one of my new go-to coffee…read moreshop study spots in the area! :) I'm currently studying for a big exam, and it's been surprisingly challenging finding coffee shops to study at with the beautiful, modern, aesthetic ambience that makes me happy, without feeling anxious there won't be enough seats or space when I get there, esp since I have to drive a decent amount to get to cafes. I've been getting a little stir crazy at home and finally making the trek here was so worth it-- I felt more motivated than ever to get work done with a tasty treat. I'm not sure if it's because CSUF just started this week, or because I came on a Friday morning, but it was really spacious and open with tons of outlets (almost at each table). Not sure how other days are, but I'd love to bring my study group friends here in the future, since it's so hard to find places with enough space for study groups! Not to mention the clean bathroom haha and good wifi haha The staff here is also incredibly sweet and friendly, making it a comfortable and good experience. Because it was my first time, I asked the barista about her recommendation, and she also asked my general preferences to cater to my taste, and I ended up with a seasonal Birthday Cake Americano at half sweetness (since I don't have much of a sweet tooth). It was perfect for me! I don't usually get Americanos and have a sensitive stomach rn, but it was delicious and kind on my stomach lol. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, and maybe it could've been heated up a little more, but I did wait a bit to eat it, so it was no big deal. The other barista was also so sweet in answering my many questions haha The only struggle as others have mentioned is the parking - I ended up parking at the retail parking nearby, which had plenty of spots but can get pretty pricey, and it sounds like you can park in the areas others have mentioned still (like The Hub I guess has "New Here" parking spots or the employee parking spots?), so I'll need to look more next time. But there's quite a bit around the area within walking distance, you can easily make a day out of it too. Also since it is at the first floor of an apartment in a college town, there will be students going in and out, so just be prepared for that haha -- reminded me of dorm days, and I'm glad students have a spot like this :) Overall, the yummy coffee, amazing vibe and beautiful ambiance, especially as a study spot, alongside the kind and comfortable service has been just what I've been looking for in a coffee shop around here, and I'm excited to return! Thank you New Here!

Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.

The line goes to the door much of the time, but they keep it moving, keep it kind, and the one barista keeps the drinks coming out so quickly that you barely have time to find a seat! It was pretty full again with half studier/workers and half friend pairs/ groups. We happened to come on the day they had a collab for jeans recycling with Madewell: donate a pair of jeans and get a free 12-oz drink from the "taplist" (regular menu list) plus a coupon for 15% off a pair of jeans! What a great and generous promo for a cause. Inside vinyl shops look fun. I am sad that the stationery shop is gone, but still looking forward to bringing my fam to check our the vinyl and fun drinks. The drinks: We came here just for the Fall Banoffee Latte because we crave/miss this British flavor. It was pretty good and a good sweetness, but I think toffee topping or a little more toffee flavor would've elevated it. I actually liked the free pour of Strawberry Swing even better! Green tea with strawberry flavor and a floral touch without bitterness. Had a taste of my friend's Princess Daisy green tea with mango/passion fruit, and it had a bit of bitter/tea flavor, but it grew on my friend's palate with every sip. The food: Only tried the cinamon sugar donut, which was tasty, solid regualr yeast donut topped with ?buttercream frosting and 8 or so cinnamon toast crunch pieces. The add-it-yourself maple drizzle dropper was a fun touch, though might've liked it a tad more viscous if possible (turned out looking like it rained maple syrup on the donut, heh). Plenty of parking on Orange St public parking lot or along that street. Now they charge at the lot, about $1.45 per hour (oh well, better than LA parking). Looking forward to returning! Maybe for the bananas foster matcha (heard good things from friend of a foodie friend :)).
