Best coffee I've had in SoCal so far…read more Staff super helpful! I bought some beans too!

Unfortunately, our first experience at Seesaw Beans & Coffee was extremely disappointing. My…read morehusband and I walked in and stood there waiting to be helped, but no one greeted us or acknowledged us. We felt uncomfortable with the staring and the overall lack of warmth, and after standing there for a while, we decided to leave. What made it especially disappointing is that we are both minorities and genuinely wanted to support a new minority-owned business in the neighborhood. Instead, we walked away feeling completely unwelcome. Before leaving, I brought the experience up to someone who worked there, and the only response I received was, "I'm so sorry." There was no attempt to understand what happened or make us feel differently about the experience. It's really unfortunate that in 2026, people can still walk into a business and feel unwelcome because of the way they are treated. Customer service and simply acknowledging people who walk through your door should be the bare minimum. I really wanted to support this new neighborhood business, but unfortunately, I'll stick with places like Smoking Tiger where we have always felt welcomed and treated with kindness.

Due to friends' recommendation, I visited this store in late night and bought a bag of coffee bean…read more The experience barista assist me to choose the coffee bean based on my desreviptikn and answered the question about brewing the coffee patiently. If you bought a bag of the coffee bean, you will have one complimentary drink. I visited in the next day and had the pullover. Although they have the machine but the barista still hand craft the coffee( they have the pull over machine). Although I did not see it in person, but I tasted the fruity taste and the aroma she did great job! If you have time and would like to have a quality coffee this is the place!

The coffee was great, the pastries were on point, the vibe was relaxed, and the staff was genuinely…read morefriendly. I'd absolutely come back for all of that. This is really just a friendly note to management. The only thing that turned a great experience into an uncomfortable one was the tipping screen. The suggested options started at 22% and climbed from there. I'm all for tipping, and I appreciate when businesses make it easy with reasonable options. But when the lowest suggested tip starts above and beyond a "normal" amount, it feels less like a suggestion and more like pressure. At 35%, I half expected someone to be outside washing my car while my espresso was pulling. I'd definitely recommend this place for the coffee and pastries. I just hope they reconsider the default tip suggestions. I think that small change would make the experience as enjoyable at the register as it is everywhere else.

I recently revisited Hygge Coffee and I'm so glad I did... it truly feels like a hidden gem. The…read morespace is peaceful, cozy, and perfect if you're looking for somewhere to work or just unwind for a bit. I spent a couple of hours here and loved how calm and uncrowded it was. One of my favorite details was the instrumental/classical music playing on what looked like an old-school record player. It added such a unique and relaxing touch to the whole experience. I ordered a chai latte and it was really good... warm, comforting and perfect while getting some work done. I honestly hope more people discover this place because it deserves so much more love. If you're looking for a quiet café with a cozy, intentional vibe, this is definitely worth checking out.

This was my first time visiting Sul & Beans in Buena Park, and it definitely won't be my last! The…read morecafé was clean, cozy, and had a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and helped make my first visit a great experience. I ordered one of their bingsu desserts, and it was delicious--light, fluffy, and topped with fresh ingredients. The portion was generous and easily enough to share, making it well worth the price. If you're looking for a refreshing Korean dessert spot, I highly recommend giving Sul & Beans a try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Very Disappointing Experience -- Poor Customer Service…read more A friend of mine came to visit from out of state, and since she had been looking forward to having Korean patbingsu (shaved ice with sweet red beans) while visiting the U.S., we decided to go to Sulbing. We ordered patbingsu, bungeoppang (Korean fish-shaped pastry), and an iced café latte. All three items were placed together on one tray. Before eating, I took a picture to post on Instagram. Then, when I picked up the iced latte to take a sip, the lid came off because it had not been properly secured, and the entire drink spilled all over my clothes. I immediately told the staff that the lid had not been properly closed. Instead of apologizing or offering any help, the employees insisted that they had definitely closed it properly and that they had heard the lid "click." They basically said it was not their fault. What was even more upsetting was that they then walked into the kitchen and left us without offering any assistance at all. We asked for something to clean up the mess, but they told us that the tissues were outside and that it was self-service. They simply handed me a mop and expected me to clean everything myself. I was honestly shocked by the lack of basic courtesy and customer service. I went to the restroom and tried to clean my clothes with water as best I could. When I came back out, I saw the two employees inside the kitchen laughing and chatting together. At that point, I was extremely upset. Despite everything, I stayed because my friend had traveled a long way and had really wanted to try the patbingsu and bungeoppang. We tried to enjoy our food, but the whole experience left a very unpleasant impression. Later, when I looked again at the latte photo I had taken for Instagram before the spill, I could clearly see that the lid was not properly sealed. I don't usually write negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt I needed to share it. Mistakes can happen, and I would have understood if the staff had simply apologized and tried to help. What was most upsetting was the attitude afterward -- no apology, no assistance, and no basic courtesy. I will not be returning to this location.

It's nutty, creamy, and quite strong honestly. I'm not usually a mango person, but I really enjoyed their mango matcha latte. I love that all their drinks that have fruit in them use real fruit puree that they make in-house! And don't leave without grabbing one of their pastries! If you love a good soft cookie, definitely get the smores bar or chewy Biscoff mallow cookie. Thanks for reading! ^-^

This is such a cute aesthetic coffee shop that offers a mix of coffee, matcha, and pastry/sweets…read more Located in a shopping center there is a lot of parking. There isn't much seating in the shop so can get crowded during peak times. Ordered the following: Biscoff Latte Matcha Einspanner Strawberry Matcha Latte Lemon Bar Mallow Cookies I personally really liked both the matcha einspanner and the biscoff latte. You can taste the coffee plus that slightly sweetness from the biscoff. Also loved their pastries, really liked the lemon bar and mallow cookies! Overall, Haru Cafe is such a cute spot when you are in a mood for a variety of drinks plus something sweet. Definitely would love to come by again.

Coffee & has been on my list for a while, so I finally decided to give it a try! I got the Double…read moreMatcha, and I actually really enjoyed it. The matcha flavor came through really well, and it had a good balance of sweetness without overpowering the matcha itself. I also tried the Dubai Chewy Cookie because I was curious about the flavor. It was good and definitely fun to try, but personally, I don't think I would pay $8 for it again. For the price, I was expecting a little more from it. Overall, I enjoyed the matcha and would definitely come back for the drinks! The cookie was nice to try once, but the Double Matcha was definitely the highlight for me.

As a barista, I can honestly say Coffee & is one of my favorite matcha spots of all time!…read more My personal favorite is their Banana Pudding Matcha. I know banana isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea because it has such a distinct flavor, but I really love how they construct this drink. You can genuinely taste the banana, and I love that it seems like they use real banana rather than that artificial banana flavor you get at some other cafés. It makes such a difference! I've also tried their coffee, and it's really good! Their coffee has a nice, strong flavor and doesn't taste watered down at all. I feel like they're probably more known for their matcha, but their coffee definitely deserves some love too. I've tried matcha from a lot of different places, including spots in LA, and while everyone has their own preferences, if you're in the Orange County area, I would definitely recommend giving Coffee & a try. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, this is one of my favorite cafés. It has that cute little hole-in-the-wall feeling where you find a place that you just want to keep coming back to. The service is also amazing! Everyone I've interacted with has been super nice and welcoming, which honestly makes the experience even better. As for the pastries, they're really good too! They'll warm them up for you, and they have the cutest cookies that look like little cartoon characters. They sometimes have seasonal cookies as well, which I think is such a cute touch. Overall, I really love how much personality this café has. If you're a matcha lover in OC, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!

This visit was on a Thurs morning around 9:30 for a birthday treat. Although they confirmed that…read morethey no longer have a bday promo, I got their in-app purchase of a Tiger Latte as well (my friend enjoyed it made less sweet, and I like that the default is made with oat milk). When you get the app, you can also get $5 automatically applied to your first app purchase. If you ever signed up for their rewards program before downloading the app, they import your points from your phone number account :). My only mild complaint is that the timed order- for-later request did not seem to make too big a difference, as my drink was probably ready 25 minutes early. Better early than late, though! Staff were friendly and informative as always. Shop had a few customers seated inside and outside, so there was plenty of room to study or sit a while. It was a bit cold for me, so probably a good place if you want some strong AC. Music seemed like a millenial-pleasing alternative-y mix: good for nondistracting background sound. Honey Bori Latte is one of my favorite seasonals anywhere! Loved it as intended at full sweetness (not too sweet) and still loved it at less sweet (recommend if enjoying with a bread or pastry imo). I like most specialty barley drinks. Default is dairy, so I assume there would still be some even if made with oat milk ($1 extra). I love the crunchy wheat snack topping, and it kind of reminds me of the cocoa puff topping in that black caf latte in Dland/Galaxy's edge. Will be back!

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.
