    Came here on a weekday ! Lots of parking This is in the CAMP outdoor shopping mall It's outdoors, very pretty space and green with fountains etc I ordered the premium matcha latte with oat milk it was $18? Or 20 idr but more expensive since it was a premium And my friend got the regular matcha latte I would say that for the price I was a little disappointed. The taste wasn't as flavorful as I am used to. Or wasn't umami or nutty or even earthy it was a very subtle flavor. So was a little sad .. definitely will try again if I'm in the area

    The matcha was delicious! Loved the different types of matcha, it can be a bit intimidating with the many different types but the staff explains each type well. I think I am a bit picky regarding my milk, and the extra $2 charge for another milk threw me a bit off, but the flavor of matcha was very strong and a green color. As a fellow lactose intolerant, paying that much for a different milk is difficult for me, so I would choose another place that would offer either $1 substitution or free. The cinnamon roll was delicious however! The hojicha with the maple syrup was really good with a depth of flavor hard to find in OC!

    Ambience is 100/10!! It feels like you're somewhere in Kyoto. It is quaint and zen. Got the Matcha latte and it was pretty pricy but the quality was there. Chafinity is located at the CAMP, next to East Borough. Depending on the time and the day, parking can be tricky.

    One of the few reasons I would ever brave parking at CAMP would be for this place. Parking can be a hit or miss depending on the time of day you go. But this place is like walking into another world. 10/10 on vibes. Such a chill place. I got the matcha latte and my friend got the hajibi latte. Drinks were good and it is such a nice place to relax and catch up with friends. I highly recommend this place!

    matcha + mochi

    The cutest matcha place tucked in the corner of the anti-mall. The quality was incredible, staff was SUPER friendly and treated everyone with genuine kindness, and of course the matcha (and mochi) were absolutely delicious. Loved this place, such a gem and such a pretty place to sit and enjoy.

    Really cool and chill spot. The shared parking space is limited with the amount of crowds visiting. Most of the seats were shaded but some seats were right under the SoCal sun. This tea has great customer service. The line moved fairly quickly. The dessert and tea were served in a timely manner. You will see their baristas brushing the matcha powders. The selections of matcha could be confusing for the first time. But the server will explain with patience. The order came quickly. Their ice cream dessert was delicious with soft mocha like with red bean and vanilla ice cream sprinkled with matcha powder. The milk and matcha was smooth. The price is a bit high, but you pay for the quality. It was enjoyable overall. Will visit again. This place gets a 4.6 out of 5.

    I visited Chafinity today an had a mixed experience overall. It is located in the Camp shopping center. They serve matcha drinks. Food: We ordered two matcha lattes to share. The matcha latte tasted fresh and delicious. However, it was a bit expensive for the size. Service: We got the drinks relatively quickly during a busy time. Ambiance: The decor outside is very nice. They have a cool fountain outside. However, the seating is very limited. I recommend coming here early, if you want to find a place to sit.

    From the pictures this place looks amazing. Modeled from a village in Japan, this quaint matcha tea house is for real. Located in the Camp, the location is amazing. There are lots of fountains, trees, flowers and wood. It is a. magical place, that is if you can find a seat. I waited in line, a very nice young lady helped me decide what to get. We ordered Matcha Lattes. Fortune was with us, for we found a nice table to sit at and enjoy our matcha lattes. The lattes were great. The environment is amazing. The price is more than what we expected, and the seats were hard to find.

    Finally got to try out this tea house after hearing so many good things! I got the matcha latte with their house made coco almond milk and half sweet with honey. I think my order was absolutely perfect. Super strong matcha, right amount of sweetness, and the most perfect shade of green. I also got to try the matcha latte but half sweet with maple. It was great as well, just a tad sweet for me. If I were to get maple I would do a fourth sweet. I love how they pour the matcha right in front of you, it makes for the most aesthetic video. Amazing service as well, as the person taking our order gave us great recommendations.

    Matcha and mochi
    Zara A.

    Adorable aesthetic which felt like I was transported to a garden in Japan. MOCHI was incredibley gooey and sticky while not being too sweet with all the flavors coming through really well. I actually liked the hochija and strawberry topped mochi flavors. Matcha was good and MILK options were very elaborate which I appreciated. I got an unsweetened hot soy matcha latte. They only have two sweetener options which I opt out of anyway. The premium matcha was $14 for a 12 oz which was insane. For that price point I was expecting the best matcha I have ever had which was not the case. But it was good and they seemed to be very precise and consistent with their ratio and quality. I appreciated the service knowing the exact grams in each beverage with their little scale visible in the window for observing the matcha making process. They definitely didn't skip on the details. I would go as a one time NOVELTY experience but not a go to for me as it was too expensive for what it was.

    Black Sesame Mochi & Piccolo Matcha Latte The gentle chimes that play, while the owner makes the martcha's and hojicha's. I love how you walk into the tea shop and all the shops disappear. Then you can choose to sit by the waterscapes or within the trees in the tea shop. Arigato

    Premium matcha, and matcha latte
    Nao I.

    3.5/5 I love the peaceful vibe and it's truly a cute area to sip on some matcha. It gives a zen experience and it's a nice escape from the stress outside. Some of the tables are taken up by other people just hanging out at the camp so it might be hard to find a table. BUT I would most likely not come here again. The matcha wasn't anything crazy, and we paid $45 for two people. The wagashi we got was limited on the menu and it was $14... it was mochi with red bean. The matcha wasn't bad, but it tasted like the ones I make at home and seemed a little crazy to be $10. I do appreciate that they source their matcha from farms in Japan.

    Ruthy V.

    I'm sure their quality of matcha is good, but it wasn't my kind of taste. I like my drink sweet but it was more bland and earthy. I got the premium and i don't think it was worth $18 with their house cream. I was told it was sweet but it was not. They don't have WiFi and seatings are limited. Really had high hopes for this spot but it was eh. Maybe I went at a wrong time since they have a high rating

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

Drinks (4/5): - There was a standard selection of drinks and I decided to get the double matcha. It was not bad by any means. However, I did feel that it was a bit sweeter than how I typically like it with what tasted like hints vanilla (possibly the cream?). - I later checked some reviews and saw that sweetness is something other's have noted. Interior (4/5): - There is a lot of space which is great! There are many small coffee tables to sit and chat, a plethora of larger 1/2 seater tables to do work at, and a large cross shaped table in the center which can definitely seat a lot of people. - This space would have honestly been at the top of my list in terms of interior if not for one thing: the temperature. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't sweating buckets or anything but it was a ~90 degree day outside and I feel like I expected it to be a little cooler inside than what it was. Service (4/5): - Standard service overall, staff was respectful and nice. The only thing I have in mind to note was a mild lack of urgency by the baristas to attend to customers. - I ended up sitting closer to the register and over time I noticed that most customers would wait a bit of time before being helped. - It doesn't seem like they have the largest team (2-3 people) so I understand if it's busier, but by my observation it was never busy enough to have people be waiting to give their order. At the end of the day solid cafe overall though. Would still come again to try different drinks with the staff's opinion on sweetness, but maybe not to do a lot of work on a hot day .

Not all breakfast items were available on the menu when we were there (in the morning) - a little confusing, as the staff implied it was based on timing of a delivery or preparation or something? Regardless, ample indoor and outdoor seating and within walking distance of some of the hotels around there.

But the Mint Mojito Coffee is in a completely different league. It's unlike anything I've ever had. If there were a Philz Coffee closer to my house, I would honestly buy it every single day. It's easily one of my all-time favorite coffees. The Philz Coffee across from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa can get pretty busy, so parking isn't always easy during peak hours. Luckily, you can order ahead on the mobile app and simply pick it up. My favorite part is taking that very first sip while it's freshly handcrafted before putting the lid back on. That first taste always makes me happy. The friend I brought with me ignored my recommendation and ordered a cold brew instead. After a few minutes, I convinced them to try just one sip of my Mint Mojito Coffee... and that was the last sip I got. They loved it so much that they practically claimed the rest of my drink. The staff are friendly, and while there isn't a lot of indoor seating if you're planning to work on your laptop, there is a nice patio where you can sit and relax. It's a great spot to catch up with friends over an amazing cup of coffee. If you're visiting Philz for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the Mint Mojito Coffee. You can thank me later.
