If you park in the back, be prepared for a bit of a trek as you make your way around all of the buildings that don't have back entrances. Phin Smith is a cozy coffee shop (with free Wi-Fi!!!!) that makes for a great study/work spot. They have a small menu with a nice variety of items, and they do each of them really well. Service is great and everyone that I ran into seemed like they loved working there! There is a bathroom in the back and plenty of comfortable seating for getting work done. Overall, Phin Smith gets a 9/10 from me. No issues, tasty coffee, nice bathroom, and quick Wi-Fi!

The coffee taste actually comes through instead of being covered up. They also let me try the drink before buying it to make sure I liked it, which I thought was a really nice touch. The ordering process is also a little different since you get your drink first and then line up to pay, but it worked out fine. The place itself is really cute with a nice vibe. There is seating both inside and outside, so it is a good spot to hang out for a bit.

For those who may not know or remember, Angie used to run Coffee Code in Buena Park for years, and she's also a former owner of another coffee shop, Flat White in Cypress. And let's not forget the 2015 Latte Art Champion (1st place). Yesterday, I've decided to visit Cortado at least one more time. I ordered myself an ice mocha, and the drink was amazing. It was actually made by Angie herself. She never failed me once. This is why I do business with someone who really knows how to run a coffee shop and have a lot of experience. Staff here are very helpful. I think one of them knew exactly who I was. Funny how things goes in life. Overall.... 5 stars for their coffee, the staff, coffee shop, and Angie!!!

I've been to other locations of Moongoat Coffee Roasters, and I continue to be a fan of the brand…read morebut this location was slightly less satisfying than the products I had at their other locations. The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

We need to talk…read more Been here since the Bolsa location in 2021, back when durian bingsu was still on the menu and life was simpler. Davien genuinely moved the needle for Vietnamese culture in Orange County - that part is undeniable and worth celebrating. But the matcha foam coffee and ube coffee - my two ride-or-dies - have been tasting increasingly watered down since the expansion kicked into overdrive. The matcha foam is lighter, the coffee hits softer. These are not subtle changes. Fast expansion is a blessing and a quality control nightmare. Seems like both are happening simultaneously. The potential is still there. Please slow down and recalibrate before the original magic is gone completely.

We came for two things specifically: sweet potato creme brulee latte and the sweet corn latte. Both were equally amazing and I can't even pick a favorite, but I guess I would go with the sweet potato, since it's more unique and I haven't had many iced versions. Both of these flavors are fragrant, and you can tell the flavor even before you take a sip. This location is very spacious and despite all of the seating, it was still full for a Friday afternoon. They do have some outdoor seating as well. We also shared the kinako hojicha soft serve, which was yummy, but the kinako is only on the top layer so once you finish that, it's pretty much gone. We also wanted to try the actual roasted bruleed sweet potato but didn't see it on the menu in person, so I'm not sure if it's a seasonal thing. Regardless, we had a great experience with these two drinks and I can't wait to visit again when I am in town!

Lots of seating and very loud when it's crowded. I wouldn't be able to study in here. Cashier was friendly and gave good recs. I'd say the prices are good for the portion and quality of drinks. What I ordered: -Matcha Pandan: I didn't want it too sweet and the cashier recommended to order as is and ask to adjust once I try it. It was definitely too sweet, I barely tasted the matcha. I requested for more of the matcha flavor and the worker kindly accommodated for me, which I appreciated. After the adjustment I still feel like it could've been more matcha-y but I didn't want to be difficult so I just took it. I think pandan is just not my thing. 3/5 (I will say I got the matcha einspanner another time and it was so much better so I definitely recommend that for those who like sweet drinks but still want the matcha flavor to be prominent. It was a 5/5 for me). Overall, I'd come back if I'm in the area again. Workers are very friendly and efficient and drinks are good, especially the matcha!

So happy I made my way over here finally…read more No line for a Thursday afternoon, ordered and received our drinks in less than 10 minutes. They do free birthday drinks on the day of your birthday when you show your ID! Inside is big with nice seating options, music is a bit loud so if you come to study then bring headphones! Parking is free but can be BUSY depending on when you go. Banana Coffee is a 10/10. Sweet and strong, just the way I like it. Matcha Strawberry was an 8.5/10. Strawberry forward and sweet! Matcha was a little grainy but it still tasted great. Will absolutely be coming back to try other drinks!

Walking into the shop, you're greeted with a dark gray concrete vibe with plenty of matching decor. They've got some multiroaster vibes too, which means they're slinging beans like Dak, La Cabra, and more! Robusta and Arabica heads can both rejoice! They've also got a nice little patio to just rest and relax at while you enjoy your drinks. I've had a few pretty deep conversations coming out of this place. Okay, even though I did come to a coffee shop, I did end up getting a hojicha latte that was roasty, nutty, and delicious alongside the vanilla notes that they add. Great choice for some of you who don't do so well with caffeine. It's easy to drink, and thoughtfully prepared! I got something a little different. It was a strawberry co-ferment espresso in a cappuccino ratio. You could really taste that strawberry come through, and having it hot and with milk was a perfect choice. Fruity, complex, and funky! Love to see places serving co-ferments. I don't think it's over-played in specialty coffee, and I do appreciate having the option! And, I didn't get it today, but getting a fancy pour-over at this spot really hits. If you coffee sweats like the fun stuff, you'll have plenty of that here! If you're looking for both fun coffee and great day, no doubt you should check out Re Ca Phe!

The workers are really nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I tried their Earl Grey Matcha Latte, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Not many places offer this combination, so whenever I see it on a menu, I have to try it. What I really liked about this one is how well balanced it is. The earl grey is light enough that it doesn't overpower the matcha, so you can actually taste both flavors clearly without one taking over the other. The Hojicha Vanilla Cream Latte was also really good. The cream on top was silky, smooth, and rich, adding a nice layer of sweetness that paired well with the roasted, nutty flavor of the hojicha. It made the drink feel really comforting and well put together.

It was missing something and my daughter said her matcha was off and she's been to another Sip Coffee at a different location. Definitely still worth coming back especially for the poptart! I'd like to try another drink for sure and a croissant next time!
