This location takes it up to knock by providing a killer seasonal menu expanding Match and Hojicha in different ways or their famous "Dirty Nutty". Very small, so seating and parking is hard to find but worth a stop. I did not catch her name but there's a younger lady with light colored eyes who always assists us. She and the team have always welcomed us and I have never had a complaint about the drinks I have had here.

It's the kind of spot where you can easily spend a couple of hours with friends I ordered the Spanish Oat latte, and it was excellent--smooth, rich, and perfectly sweet. Definitely one of the better Spanish lattes I've had. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. If you're looking for a unique coffee shop with great drinks and a fun vibe, I highly recommend checking this place out!

It's been awhile since I last visited. Tried my go-to again.

If you're a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, you'll really like this drink (haha). I will say, the matcha here isn't as strong as something like "Stereoscope, Seesaw or Eclado" but still good nonetheless. (Tip: I typically ask for less sweetness but it's not as good as normal. So keep in mind it might be too sweet for your liking if you prefer matcha on a bitter side). I also tried their gluten free chocolate chip banana bread - very good! (Not pictured)

The latte on the bottom (I asked for unsweetened) was nice, rich, smooth latte and paired with the slightly salty and perfectly sweet matcha cream, which was strong in matcha while not being bitter, and the slight dusting of cocoa powder on top. So so delicious and decadent, rich yet not overpowering. Plenty of parking in the back and a restroom too. You have to come try it out!

And I believe…read morethey change out which pastries to sell so its always a nice surprise to try something new while knowing its going to be good. The double matcha cold foam is perfect. The Honey Americano with Salted Cream is perfect. There is a parking lot for the cafe and I've never had problems with parking. There's inside and outside seating. Tables are big enough for my laptop and my drinks. Service has always been consistently good. One time, I left my phone on the table and was driving off in my car, when one of the workers ran out of the cafe and waved me down to return my phone. Love this place.

I visited 8th Symphony Coffee today as part of my mission to find the best sugar‑free latte while…read morecutting out sugary drinks from my diet. I placed a mobile order, and the process was smooth I received text updates when my order was confirmed and again when it was ready for pickup. The sugar‑free latte was impressive, definitely an 8/10. It was delicious with just a slight aftertaste, which is pretty common for sugar‑free drinks. I've had a few from other spots without that aftertaste, but overall this one was still very enjoyable. My husband ordered his usual hot drip coffee, which we always do when trying new locations so we can compare both iced and hot options. We're still searching for a place that truly satisfies his drip‑coffee cravings this one wasn't quite the winner for him. The staff was friendly, and the café has a good amount of seating, though most tables were taken during our visit. Very quiet and pleasant. Parking was also completely full, so be prepared for a busy lot if you stop by during peak hours.

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art. The girl had talent! This place has also given back. They helped with the LA fires last year. So bonus points for places who give back. (They gave back to the Pasadena humane society) There was a pretty big line and it was pretty loud in here, but it went by very fast. My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy. They had Sabrina carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo specials and they even had a Lana Del Rey latte (cinnamon girl, named after her song) only thing that bummed me out They had a case with delicious pastries. But since I came here later in the day, they only had a couple stragglers left behind -they open at 7 am, for everyone needing their morning coffee -vegan options -free WiFi -woman owned -LGBTQ owned -they give back to the community

I saw a TikTok about this cafe, and I was so excited to try it!…read more I got two Vanilla Lattes (Iced), one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam, one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam, and one Strawberry Matcha Latte. All of the drinks came with little breadsticks which I thought was so good dipping into the cold foams! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam was delicious! The Cream Cheese Cold Foam isn't super overpowering, but you can taste it in your drink, and it tastes great. I've never seen it offered at other cafes, but I liked it! The Strawberry Matcha Latte had strawberry puree and strawberry bits in it so you had to drink it with a boba straw. The drink was good! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam tasted great as well. It almost tasted like a Matcha KitKat so it was pretty good. The cafe itself was empty when I came in, but the cafe quickly filled up with big groups. There's plenty of seating and tables, and all the seats are padded and comfortable. I could see this cafe being a fun study spot. There's also some board games and manga if you come with a big group. Parking is a bit chaotic because the parking lot is all bumpy, but parking isn't hard to find in the plaza. The employee was very kind and helpful. We didn't know there was coffee on the menu until he pointed us to where it was. He made the drinks very quickly, and he was very informative about the drinks. I would come here again! There's so many drinks on the menu that I would love to try, and I love trying out a new study spot!

Just so you know, there is no restroom available. We shared a few drinks, and my fav' was the strawberry matcha! The banana matcha was good too, but the strawberry one really stood out. The coconut matcha was a bit plain for my taste. The lemonade was very sour, but in a good way! All the croffles were tasty, or as my 9-year-old says, "bussin"! Briscoff croffle though! The staff was really friendly, which made our visit even better. My son was excited to get some free cards for his collection, including a Monkey D. Luffy card! That made his day special. It was such a fun moment! Def' coming back. This time with thy matcha queen connoisseur. Lol
