Strawberry açaí refresher with lemonade, pink drink (ran out of foam) iced brown sugar shaken espresso
Jaymes M.

Charleston Circle Coffee, is located inside of Knott's Berry Farm. They're right next to the Sweet Spot candy store and easy to miss due to a small storefront. It's not a walk-in cafe, it's an order at the window and pickup at the other window kind of setup. The lines get pretty long here. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. It says they serve Starbucks coffee but I honestly don't think they're run as efficiently as an actual Starbucks. There wasn't a ton of people before me but it sure felt like it. Pastry/non-SB drinks menu; -Gourmet mint chocolate chip -Christmas Snoopy cookie -Gingerbread people -Pumpkin coffee cake -Mexican White Russian cocktail -Snickerdoodle cookies pumpkin bar -Spiced holiday wine -Cherry clafoutis -Pumpkin RumChata coffee cocktail ( I probably should've ordered this instead, it sounds delicious) -Merry mug (I have no idea what this is) What we ordered; 1) strawberry açaí refresher with lemonade - light ice 2) pink drink - light ice. They ran out of the foam. Unsure why they didn't have any means to make more. 3) iced brown sugar shaken espresso - THIS did not taste right. I've ordered this drink at an actual Starbucks multiple times. This version here did not taste the same. In fact, the coffee tasted stale, and it also tasted like they added something else in there like some kind of fall type of spice. I did not enjoy it. I actually ended up throwing way more than half of it away. 4) iced caramel macchiato - it was weak in coffee flavor 5) hot chocolate - SO good. Overall it's just an ok spot for coffee but I would go again. I don't know of any other coffee joint inside the park itself. It's been many years since my last visit, and the park has changed significantly. So I'll scope out Knott's again and try another drink. FYI, they do not take the SB app here since it's not an actual SB cafe. You can have a coffee or a hot chocolate as part of the drinks seasonal pass. *excuse photos of the menu. I couldn't get in there. There were people in line and standing around for their drinks. I had to really zoom in to get these pictures.

I've been coming to Coffee & for the past year or so, and I absolutely love their drink offerings…read more I found them initially during the whole banana matcha craze but since then have explored their other menu offerings. I've got to say: they make solid matcha and coffee lattes! My favorite drink is the banana matcha latte. It's pretty expensive at around $8.50, but they put a very generous heaping of banana pudding on top. I'm telling you, this banana pudding is AMAZING. It has the Nilla wafers, pudding mix, banana slices, toffee bits-the whole nine yards. I get the matcha latte 50% sweet, and the banana pudding makes up for the decreased sugar. This is dessert in a cup, and whenever I order it, it disappears within the hour. That's how good it is. The matcha they use is strong, too. I've also had their plain matcha latte, chestnut latte, and chai latte with a shot of espresso. Their espresso drinks are strong but not super bitter or acidic, which is how I personally like it. They also have a pastry case, but I don't think they make the pastries in house. I think their banana bread and loaf slices can be a little dry, and their croissants are okay. I wouldn't come here for the food unless you're particularly hungry. Overall, I think Coffee & has solid offerings. The interior is always clean and well-lit, and there's ample seating to study, chat, and enjoy your drinks. The service is always quick too. I'll happily continue to come back and enjoy their caffeinated drinks!

5 stars all the way & I wish I lived closer to this location!…read more I absolutely loved my Banana Pudding Matcha Latte and it was one of the top banana matcha toppings I've had (and trust me, I've tried a TON of places with similar toppings). My boyfriend's seasonal Apple Cinnamon Matcha Latte was pretty good too & I was impressed by how well this subtle flavor paired with the matcha. I also think it's cute how they have Halloween themed treats. Would definitely come back again in a heartbeat!

As an owner of a coffee roasting business, I am pretty picky when it comes to choosing the coffee…read moreshops I visit. But I will make a point to visit Seesaw as often as I can. I was driving back to LA from Disneyland and this was the closest coffeeshop to the hotel, and no day can really start without some good coffee. So we drove around the neighborhood for parking and walked to Seesaw through the alley. Upon entering the shop, what first caught my eye was the eight or so cups of ground beans presented with their region and notes. This clued me in that they were serious about their coffee. So I did what I always do, I got a blend espresso as well as a SO espresso. Upon sipping the blend espresso, I was impressed at how round the flavor profile was. It would definitely be good in a cortado. But the reason I will be coming back is the SO espresso. Even before I took a sip, the nose of the cup was very strawberry forward and it taste just like strawberries. I was blown away and decided to buy a bag of these beans. After the espresso, I noticed they had a couple Kyoto cold brew towers, which isn't unusual, but something caught my eye that seemed different. Then it hit me, unlike most shops that have them collecting dust in the corner, these looked like they had been used that day, and one of them said SO. I quickly went back to the register to inquire if they actually had some SO Kyoto drip, and I saw it on the menu called something like S.O. slow cold brew. I got a cup of this as well and it was fantastic. The offerings of Seesaw are incredible and a reason to make a special trip, but so is their vision and mission. I look forward to coming back.

I ordered a Double Matcha and it was perfect! I am a hard-core matcha lover so this hit the spot…read morefor me. It is a matcha latte with matcha cream top. The service was nice and quick. I loved the vibes very clean and cute. They also were playing great music. I'd definitely work or study out of this coffee shop.

The Dracula Latte is a Halloween twist on their Goth Latte (it's a charcoal latte with strawberry), and it's such a good combo! The strawberry adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the earthy charcoal flavor. The Frankenstein Matcha was also really good! The earthiness of the matcha paired so well with the charcoal, and it was slightly sweet without being overpowering. The service is always phenomenal here, every employee is attentive and friendly. I love how creative Arc Coffee gets with their seasonal drinks! Both were unique and fit the Halloween vibes perfectly. Definitely worth trying before they're gone!

Another cafe I keep coming back to! ARC serves a limited range of thoughtfully crafted matcha and…read morecoffee. This cafe knows their core drinks are winners and doesn't rely on full-menu revamps every season to keep customers coming back. As you can see, I am a repeat customer of their Matcha on matcha, but each of the other drinks have been delicious as well. The Orange tonic is on the sweeter side, but you can still taste the bitterness from the coffee and super fizzy tonic water. They put the freshest puree in the strawberry matcha with a natural-tasting sweetness. The goth latte is a must try that you can't find anywhere else. Arc both sells and uses Rocky's matcha in their drinks; a matcha which tastes nutty and roasty. Despite the batch mixing, the matcha is never clumpy or lacking in flavor. The inside is super minimal, yet approachable. While customers constantly rotate through the small space, there is never a long wait and I usually find a seat. The parking lot is small and can get tight during busy hours. Overall, Arc is a great spot for a consistently delicious dose of caffeine.

Review update. The way to a different cafe was closed so I came here instead to work and get a…read morequick bite to eat. I ordered their ceremonial matcha latte (oat milk, simple syrup, 50% sweet) and it tasted way better this time around. I wouldn't say it's my absolute favorite, but it's definitely up there to my liking. Plus their newest menu item: heirloom tomato cream cheese bagel. Wow, perfectly toasted and the real highlight is the olive oil drizzle, fresh avocado and crushed pepper (slight spicy kick). Highly recommend.

Came here on a Tuesday around 11am. This place is located on the 3rd floor of the Source. Parking…read morein the structure is free all day. I ordered the mint tea with agave sweetener (~$5). The drink was nice and refreshing, but it was fairly small and didn't last very long. I also ordered the breakfast burrito (~$15). The burrito itself was tasty, but it was also fairly small in size for the price. It came with hot sauce on the side, but I would have preferred a salsa. Workers were nice but didn't do anything exceptional. Was looking for a place to do some work/study. WiFi works totally fine, but there are limited outlets. Not a huge fan of their seating and chairs. The most comfortable spot is the large middle table, but there are no outlets. Areas with outlet accessibility are either super tiny tables, tables that are too low for comfort, or the wall countertop area (but the seats don't have backs to them). There is also no restroom (you have to use the public one outside), so coming alone to study isn't ideal for when duty calls. There is also a sign for NO outside drinks, foods, desserts, etc. I was there from ~11am to ~3pm. I'd say the atmosphere was louder than I'd like (lots of people talking very loudly throughout my time there), and the music playing was more upbeat (making it hard to focus). In terms of a study spot, I most likely would not come here again. In terms of food/drink, I wouldn't recommend this place. However, if someone suggested it, I wouldn't totally object. Overall, not a bad experience, but just not ideal to my preferences.

Whew! Came on a double promo day for matcha and salt bread around 1215pm, and they were out of salt…read morebread (ran out early am) and the matcha tumbler :(. Understandable, but a bit disappointing. The good thing is, the workers were hustling, friendly still, and made me a wonderful pear milk tea. FALL 2026 seasonals tip: get the pear milk tea full sweet. First timr I tried it half sweet, thr pear flavor is hardly detectable; but this time, it was subtle but delightful. I hope next promos will include higher stock of promos (decided not to get the matcha since there was no promo). Still love the seasonals tho.

It absolutely pains me to leave a 3 star review for this place. I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

The Iced Vanilla Latte was excellent! rich and flavorful, yet clean and smooth without being overly heavy or creamy. The waffle was also delicious, topped with fresh fruit and ice cream, making it a perfect treat to share or enjoy as dessert. The service was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I'll definitely be coming back for another Iced Vanilla Latte.
