    Not sure how I haven't been here sooner!…read more There are SO many specialty coffee shops opening up, but if you're looking for actual coffee and not a dessert disguised as a coffee drink, this place definitely stands out. The quality of their coffee is AMAZING! Parking: Parking is located in the back, and the entrance to the back lot is on Commonwealth Ave. Look for a small sign with their company logo. Parking was relatively easy on a Thursday afternoon, although I can definitely see it getting more difficult during peak hours. What we got: Madagascar Vanilla Cream -- $6.75 SO GOOD. I completely agree with everyone mentioning the sweetness level. To me, it was perfectly sweet and not overly sugary, even with the Madagascar vanilla cream on top. What I loved most was that the coffee flavor was still very noticeable. The milk and cream didn't overwhelm the coffee, and their house-made syrup tasted natural rather than artificial. Definitely one of those drinks where I could actually taste the coffee instead of just drinking a sweet dessert! Iced Americano -- $4.00 My partner really enjoyed this! They make a solid Americano. We've been to other coffee shops where there's literally coffee grounds sitting at the bottom of the cup , so I was very happy to see none of that here. The shop itself is relatively small, with around 4 tables inside. I noticed one outlet near the larger table. They have WiFi, so it's still a decent spot to get some work done. There's also a small outdoor patio in the parking lot with a few tables, and restrooms are available. Another thing I really love is their mission and commitment to inclusivity. They hire adult employees with developmental disabilities, which is amazing. They also have stamp cards for both drinks AND their own coffee beans. Definitely adding this to my list of coffee shops to come back to. I'll absolutely be returning!

    Came here on a weekday and definitely would recommend. When I first came upon the page, the name of…read morethe cofffeeshop looked familiar. It turned out that it's from one of those "best matcha" of OC posters lol glad I made it over here I guess. Environment - lovely large shop with areas for using your electornic devices with charging stations. And two other longer tables for chit chatting and hanging out. I love the large counter they have and you can also see they have an office in the back with a roaster on the side. You can smell all types of beans in the front and purchase the entire bag if you'd like. Service - no complaints. Nice people! Drinks/Food - Hazelnut Einspanner - not too sweet with great blend of the hazelnut flavor. Would recommend if you wanted a specialty drink but not too overpowering. - Double Matcha - hey, I had to try this one since it was listed on the matcha poster. Pretty good! Not to sweet - again lol - Ham and Cheese Croissant Panini - this was a surprise! I don't usually get savory treats out at coffeeshops but it was so carefully made. Piping hot when it came out and not too salty! Dang, would come here again. Can't wait!

The inside is very clean, minimalistic in design, and fosters a calm, comfortable environment. I also like how Sul & Beans has a softly lit, outdoor dining area for fresh air and good night vibes. This place is also perfect for desserts in Buena Park or Fullerton, since there are so many good Asian restaurants and eats nearby. It's very connected with the larger, local food landscape and is a solid option for a light, soft dessert after a big hearty meal. My friends and I actually came here after eating at DOOKKI Korean restaurant, only 5 mins away, and it was a great call! We ordered the yogurt berry bingsoo and Oreo bingsoo; We loved both! The two flavors were great, safe options for everyone--but Sul & Beans also has more niche choices like their earl grey and black sesame bingsoos. They also offer toast desserts and I even saw taiyaki on the menu! I would definitely recommend coming by once in a while with friends if you love to eat in Buena Park or Fullerton!

I can't vouch for anything else that they serve but their walnut pastries are out of the world amazing. I've had walnut pastries elsewhere but they are nowhere is good as the ones from Cocohodo.

    Cocohodo is a cute little pastry shop that specializes in their yummy red bean walnut pastries…read more I last came here for an after lunch treat and to grab some items to take home. I purchased their smallest bag of walnut pastries and a small size of their Coco Red Bean Shaved Ice. The smallest bag of walnuts is 10 pieces of their cocohodo. They are red bean filled with one walnut in each pastry. They're not too sweet and came out hot to enjoy. If you love red bean and walnuts then you'll enjoy it. They are great with tea. The coco red bean though wasn't what I expected. The shaved ice isn't as soft as bingsoo. It's more like American shaved ice texture. It had red beans, condense milk, mochi balls, walnut shavings, and a tiny scoop of vanilla ice. I appreciate that it wasn't too sweet but it was pretty basic. Nothing crazy good about it. The girl at the counter was really nice and answered all my questions. The food came out fairly quick. Everything was very affordable. I would definitely be back to get more cocohodos. I love that you can get them to eat or they have boxes to gift as well. And they even have other desserts and a full drink menu which includes coffees, matcha, teas, and even smoothies. The inside of this place is casual and clean with plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your treat.

    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.

Unfortunately, when I got here, Floe wasn't open yet, which was a little disappointing. I decided to go next door and give Enchanted Coffee Bar a try instead. I've been to their Brea location before, so I wasn't expecting too much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this location. I got the New London, and it was easily one of my new favorite coffee drinks. The coffee had a strong flavor, and the espresso powder on top of the cold foam was a great addition that made the drink stand out. We also got the Iced Matcha Latte, which was decent overall, but I've definitely had better matcha lattes before. Overall, I really enjoyed the New London and will definitely be coming back to this location to try more of their drinks. This ended up being a nice surprise, especially since it wasn't even my original destination!
