My main issue is that service here is inconsistent. Was here on a Monday, paid cash and they were…read morefine breaking a $100 bill. Came back on Saturday, order was about $25, tried paying with a $50 bill, and was now told they don't accept large bills. What...? No signs posted. So I had to go out and find a place to break change and go back. That was extremely annoying. To the owners: Be consistent in your policies... post signs... ==NOT SO FUN SIDE NOTE== Going out to break change sent me on an UNEXPECTED SIDE QUEST with my bank. Because I was withdrawing an amount that falls outside my normal habits, my card was blocked and had to spend another 20 minutes on the phone to troubleshoot and unlock my card. All this in 100 degree weather.... For tea bars, this is one of the few places that offer decent food. Fruit teas are nice. Coffee and matcha are the same as you'd expect anywhere else. But today's experience really encourages me to find for other options. Cafe Quan also has the same bread sticks with a few other options. TLDR version: Good food, okay drinks. Fine if you use plastic, beware for cash users. Avoid on weekends unless you like crowded spaces and long wait times.

Dark, spooky, cozy with the smell of espresso seeping through the walls. If you leave through the back entrance, you're transported back into the dull colorless vibe of the surrounding atrium (no offense to the landlord). Now, for the important part--COFFEE! I ordered the Moon Over Bourbon Street. It tasted slightly artificial but they make most syrups from scratch. I may just have been sensitive to the flavors. But it was really good. Not too sweet. My sister ordered the Dorian Gray latte. Deathly divine. My son had the Palace of Lavinia. He's used to super sweet iced tea so this was extremely mellow, even sweetened. But it was absolutely refreshing. Sadly, we did not try any provisions. Super service. Friendly and helpful. Gave recommendations. Barista had great handwriting. It's all in the death-tails!

It had rosemary, honey, and bee pollen. I was there for about 2 hours and they knew about 98% of the customers and what drinks they liked. I noticed the customers even greeted each other saying good to see you again. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

I've also been disappointed with their espresso recently. The only thing that appears to hold up is their drip. (Pretty sure their merch is AI generated, which unsettled a lot of people)

Full sweetness (agave) was delightful and did not feel overly sweet. Seemed like they use 3 or 4 g of matcha, but not sure (was at least more than 2g). Oat milk is only 50 cents extra, but I got regular milk (I think they use 2%). Interior was clean, forest green and had luxurious leafy vibes with 4 or so tables of 3. There is a bathroom, oddly with a bidet. Located in an older strip mall with varied food offerings. Plenty or parking on a weekday midday. BEWARE: google maps takes you to an alley in back, so just go around the block to the other side. I see why this place was on a reel for top iced matchas in OC. Would recommend, and would like to come back to try the mango matcha latte or even just for this cherry matcha again!

I saw that they recently switched to a new powder so I wanted to try. They claim to be using Rocky's matcha, but I used Rocky's matcha at home and it tastes nothing like this! My double matcha tasted like pure grass and was very gritty. I'm not even sure what made it a double matcha because there was no matcha cream or anything on top. So I paid $8 for a bland grassy cup of milk. Cuptopia PLEASE go back to your old matcha ***Edit because that response from the owner is wild hahaha I guess the customer service isn't that great. I did not make a single rude comment about your shop or anything even remotely close to ruin anyone's reputation. All I said was that the matcha blend has downgraded because it has. Yelp is here to share honest opinions and that was mine. And obviously I don't know what was said or ordered because I WAS NOT THERE. He just dropped it off and made no mention of matcha cream not being available, either way $8 is way too expensive for a matcha this quality. I never once said I want to do a collab with your shop he was probably just trying to support me and my page because I enjoy making content and run a fun little matcha page. I have actually made a video/post in the past expressing how much I enjoyed your shop and matcha and it's still accessible on my page but probably not after this interaction. Very odd and rude response for a simple review:/ all I said was the old matcha was better....sorry that struck a nerve.

I also didn't think the cream added much to the drink. Seating: Limited seating inside. Parking: The plaza parking lot is pretty small, but we were able to find a spot easily. Going around 9:30 am probably helped. The Matcha Einspanner was okay for me and not something I'd personally go out of my way for, but if you prefer a grassier matcha, this might be more your taste.

To be honest, I find a lot of coffee shops to taste the same and repeat a lot of the same drinks. However, Phin Smith has its own signature through-line that makes it unique. I like that all the drinks have a sort of coconut or pandan very Vietnamese and tropical undertone. I have enjoyed all of the offerings here, both coffee and matcha, but especially the Oahu Joe. I can just feel like the whole team puts in so much effort into curating the menu, writing recipes, brewing the coffee, preparing the drinks. The staff are pretty professional and helpful. I really like the location and the space. It is located in historic downtown Garden Grove which has a unique charm that is distinctive or from the rest of city. It is very spacious and a good place to get some work done, study, chat, or just relax. The interior design is Spanish-inspired and rustic which is not the most common or popular coffee shop design style so I really like how distinctive and special it is. I will be coming back to Phin Smith for years to come and I genuinely recommend coming here.

That was completely fine with me since I specifically came for a lox bagel. We waited again, but after the additional time passed, they came back and told us they didn't even have the ingredients to make the sandwich. That's where the frustration really set in. It should be basic practice to check that all ingredients are available before asking customers to wait, especially twice. The business itself seems solid, but the staff needs to be more organized and on top of things. In the end, I waited for nothing and canceled my entire order. I came here specifically for that bagel, and the experience was disappointing.
