    Blueberry Lemon Matcha
    Emily T.

    Happy to report that I have a new favorite coffee shop! Visited here with a friend to try their seasonal special blueberry lemon matcha latte, and returned just a few days later to try it again! The matcha taste does get masked a bit by the blueberry and lemon zest, but the combination of flavors makes this such a delectable drink. They also have a selection of pastries for those who like a snack with their drink. The volume of the store varies across the day; when I went on a weekday morning it was very quiet with plenty of spaces to sit and study. As the day went on it got busier and all the seats got taken up, but thankfully the noise doesn't bother me too much while studying. The only thing is their drinks are quite pricey, especially for those who are very lactose intolerant like me and always have to make milk subs :") Overall, I will be frequenting this coffee shop! Can't wait to come back and try their peanut latte!

    Came in here not knowing what to get. Very nice server recommended the Peanut Moose Latte. Not my usual order but thought why not... I am hooked and been coming back ever since. Spacious interior with simple modern decor, decent amount of seating, all around good vibes man, what more can you ask for? Even in the midst of stacked competition in this complex, I'm still coming back here for my drink.

    One of the better matcha lattes in the area but the price is steep! I'd rather make the trek to OC for the same, if not better, matcha quality but for less. The peanut mousse latte is pretty good! Looking forward to trying the banana milk corn drink when it's released the next few weeks :)

    I noticed Commence coffee from visiting Toto Tea next door previously. As I skimmed through their menu on Yelp, I knew I wanted to try their Peanut Mousse latte. Came down on a Saturday morning, 10 ish. Few people inside. I ordered the Peanut Mousse with an add shot, Biscoff Croisant, & Pain Au Chocolat (warmed up). The pastry's were amazing. They deserved a solid 10/10. Now the Peanut Mousse was a game changer. I had a peanut butter latte in France and haven't had anything close to it since. This had to be one of my favorite lattes. I'm going to be honest, I was distracted with two kiddos that I forgot to ask for Breve as my milk choice. However it came was great and strong. They have a reward system that I signed up for. It started to pick up around 11 with a line almost out the door. I would recommend and would come back when in Chino Hills. Again I was distracted when it came to paying. So not 100% cost of everything, but seemed reasonable for quality.

    A comfy coffee shop, located in a business plaza that has ample seating with minimalistic interior design and soft easy listening music in the background. The staff is nice and they are fast with their setvices, especially with all their to go orders. I ordered the Vanilla Latte which was pretty good.

    Before heading here, their peanut mousse latte caught my attention. My mind didn't change when I arrived. I got it with oat milk and very much enjoyed it. It had bits of peanuts and was not too sweet. Additionally, I got the biscoff croissant. The cream was on the sweeter side but it balances well with the croissant and the latte. Although it was good, it was a bit inconvenient to eat because it was given in a pastry bag versus a plate. The cream would get pushed further into the back of the bag with every bite. I went there around 10:30 AM on a Saturday and it was pretty busy at the time. However, I was able to grab a seat in the corner with an outlet underneath. There is WiFi available but it was limited to 1 hour. It could get a bit noisy from larger groups and music was at a moderate level as well. There were no issues with finding parking, since this is located in a large plaza. American Express is accepted as a payment option. Overall, it was a decent spot to get some work done with good coffee and pastries.

    Commence Coffee serves a great latte--easily one of the highlights here. It has a subtle, peanut-like aftertaste that really stands out in a good way. The milk they use isn't as bold or heavy as what you'd find at some specialty cafés, but the overall flavor still comes together nicely. We also really enjoyed the hojicha + espresso latte. It's a great combination--earthy, roasty, and smooth with enough espresso strength to keep it balanced. Service was perfectly fine, and everything came out in a timely manner. The space itself is pretty aesthetic too--clean, modern, and thoughtfully styled without feeling overdone. It's a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy your drinks. Overall, a solid café with interesting drinks and a welcoming atmosphere.

    Came on a Saturday around 9:30 am. Plenty of parking in a large lot. Good number of tables inside and the space is clean, though minimal on decor. I ordered a peanut mousse latte at 25% sweetness. Really strong peanut flavor and the mousse pairs well with the coffee. A bit too much milk though, which dulls the coffee taste. I think this drink would work better in a 12 oz, but they only offer 16 oz. Staff was friendly and quick. The line was consistently long, which speaks to its popularity. I'd come back.

    Garden walk 2x

    One of the best matcha places in the IE. The inside is so spacious with a lot of room to sit & wait for your beverage, they also have baked goods (which I need to try soon)! The garden walk is a double matcha that puts airoma to rest. It's so smooth, not too sweet & not too earthy - just the perfect balance of what real authentic matcha is. The service is very welcoming & kind, they're always recommending new drinks & recommendations to those who are new

    vanilla latte and hojicha
    Dani B.

    what a cute space! honestly the price for drink amount is what gets me because $8-9 is just so much so i wouldn't come often. i did really enjoy my hojicha so i would probably come back to get that or to try their matchas, but the latte was just average and could get that anywhere else for a cheaper price. the service was quick and the workers were nice when taking my order. the pastry options look good so this is a great place to student or hang out with friends.

    Garden Matcha
    jenn l.

    FYI: Commence Coffee is still in the soft launch opening phase and looking to open Feb 14th weekend! I'm always down to find a good matcha and this place def has a good one. The Garden Matcha is a "double matcha" which means a regular matcha latte with matcha cream foam (not a double shot). For the matcha alone, I would rate it a solid 8.5. I also tried the strawberry and cream croissant which was decent in taste. I could tell that the cream was homemade whipped cream and the strawberries were surprisingly sweet for not being in season right now. In full transparency, I've had better versions elsewhere but it was still a 7/10. I agree with some of the other reviews/critiques that drinks are on the pricier side. I paid $9.70 for the matcha + oat milk. But overall, staff were extremely friendly and I felt like there was a lot of space and natural lighting in the space. Prepare your wallet for a $10 matcha!

    Needed a pick me up after a long night of New Year's celebrations. Found this spot on Yelp, love that they serve ceremonial matcha. They're still in soft opening and some items on menu are still "coming soon". There are handful of tables inside but all were occupied by people working from their laptops when I stopped by around 11am. If you come by early maybe you can snag one, spot seems pretty quiet but lively enough to people watch while you work. Tons of parking in a shared plaza. Matcha Latte -order it iced. Decent matcha but not as strong as I preferred. Smooth and not grainy, not too sweet. Hojicha Latte -as expected, not too sweet either.

    Peanut Mousse Latte
    Jenny J.

    PEANUT MOUSSE LATTE. That's all. I come here a lot lol and my favorite is the Peanut Mousse Latte. The perfect amount of sweetness and nuttiness from the peanut. Solid espresso = makes a great latte. Their Garden Walk (Double Matcha) is pretty solid as well. Great drinks. Service- the owner is great! Very kind and nice. Ambiance- there's seating but it gets full so come early if you want working space. Plenty of parking outside.

I ended up getting it at 75% sweetness, and it was just right, which I really appreciated. The place itself is clean but on the smaller side, with not a lot of seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. It's definitely a popular place, especially with college students, probably because of how convenient the location is next to an Asian market. Overall, it's a really solid boba spot with great drinks and friendly service, and I can see why it's always busy.

I usually hit their San Marino spot, but this location still delivered the goods. The shop's a bit small inside, but service was nice. Grabbed my ride-or-die Koan-Im Oolong Latte and paired it with a donut from my favorite donut shop like I was assembling the perfect duo for a late night snack. The tea was lightly sweetened perfectly to my liking, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who respects tea leaves more than I respect my sleep schedule. The cloud top was basically dalgona candy foam and felt like a bonus dessert after finishing the drink. Even with a lot of people waiing, service moved fast, in & out in about 7 mins. Quality tea, speedy service, and enough creamy foam happiness to make a milestone review feel deserved!! Highly recommend!!! Now for some poetry that's inspired my 1000th review: Warm glazed memories sift through my reverie. A pink box opened in the summer of 24. Days were bleak and hollow like a bakery shelf at closing. I saw the saddest eyes, soft as powdered sugar falling. Sweet like a dalgona cloud top koan-im oolong latte, but carrying a quiet ache no frosting could hide. That summer you saved me, like the first bite of something new when you thought you'd forgotten what butterflies felt like. The season changed and you suddenly disappeared.... just an empty pink box on the counter. Only crumbs remain now, where your strawberry-glazed humor used to melt into every moment like sugar on warm dough. My heart split like a jelly donut. Still, I'm grateful as the world is as it should be. I pass by the donut shop on 66 and smile. People think it's just about donuts. But once.... a long time ago, one saved my life.

Now when it came back out, the cup is wet and i saw a chuck of ice was gone...AND milk tea ( not sure if the wetness if the cup is water or milk tea ) but regardless #1 they didnt even give an effort to clean or wipe down the cup for me after taking out the ice #2 they obviously didnt refill any milk tea back #3 the main reason for me not having ice was i dont want my milk tea to be water down by ice overtime and it was there with ice for a few minutes, im sure it watered down some so they didnt even bother to fill back the missing tea. Come on torotea, your shop is already overhype in the beginning but you cannot even do some common sense basic service now?

Among the pastries, I've tried most of them, and my favorite has to go to the Smoked Sausage Bread and the Walnut Cream Bread. Both are always so addicting to munch on, and honestly just a must purchase every visit. I often grab a box of Green Tea Roll Cake for my family and they absolutely love it as well. Very well presented and not too sweet. Perfect mix of flavor as well, highly recommend. Cake slices here are a must try if you're ordering a cake. They're perfect size to test all the flavors of cakes. Selection is extensive so there's all kinds for each taste bud. My favorite is definitely the tiramisu and strawberry soft cream. The soft cream is very flavorful, melts in your mouth and best part is that it's not too sweet. I love the presentation as well since it's not too flashy nor too cheap. Serves plenty which is perfect for any special occasion. My wife loved the selection as I got that to celebrate her birthday. Drinks wise, I've only tried their matcha latte but it's absolutely one of my favorites hands down. Cup is huge for a large, and I was handed the drink fairly quick on a busy day. This cafe has plenty of tables and I often see people doing work here or just hanging out, a perfect spot in a busy plaza.

The cream is soft & light and does not taste overly sweet, which is perfect for me. My wonderful husband bought me this whole cake for my last birthday. Candles can be provided at no additional cost. If you don't want a whole cake, thankfully this place offers roll cakes, in addition to many of their whole cakes available as cake slices. I just tried the rainbow cake recently, which tasted pretty good and also felt light. Each of the six layers had different fruity undertones. One thing that really surprised me from here is the iced matcha latte. I was impressed by the quality of the matcha and smoothness of the latte.
