    I think that Communitea genuinely lives up to its name creating a warm and inviting spot for people to meet and catch up with friends, study, or relax while enjoying yummy drinks and light bites to eat. The cashiers are always sweet and answer any questions you might have and you don't have to wait long to get your order.

    Found this cute little coffee place in Brea. My friend and I really enjoyed this place. Indoor decor and ambiance is quite inviting. Very clean and all the staff are quite friendly. They have a kiddie corner area where kids can play while the adults can enjoy their beverages. We ordered their lavendar lemonade and it was so pretty to look at and quite refreshing to taste. I also ordered their Headliner which is Viet coffee with vanilla cold foam with sprinkles on top. This drink wasn't as strong as a typical Vietnamese coffee but it had a nice flavor. The Apple danish was quite delicious. Overall all 3 items rang up to be around $18 a bit pricey but the service and ambiance make up for it. Will be back here again soon to try out other beverages.

    Tried another coffee shop because I have an addiction. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted. I shared that it was my first time coming and they gave me recommendations and a sticker. Thanks! I ordered the wildflower latte and a pretzel breakfast sandwich. Both were fantastic! I'd happily order again or try some of the other enticing items on the menu. It's clean with good seating. There's tons to keep the kids occupied, which is another plus! Easy parking.

    Very cute and welcoming coffee shop! Love that they host community events in their space and have a partnership with the board game/card shop nearby. I wish they had more non-caffeinated options! Shaken iced tea lemonade - 5/5, not too sweet and the peach blossom tea is very nice. Definitely more on the tart side, which I enjoy.

    Earl grey matcha and Irish cream cold brew
    Brianna M.

    Amazing service, ambience and drinks. That Earl Grey Matcha was something I've never experienced before and my entire family thought it was delicious. The Irish cream Cold brew was just the right amount of sweet with a very smooth coffee flavor. We also enjoyed the aesthetic presentation of the drinks. There are free water cups at the bar area. We did not get to enjoy it but they had a nice little play area for little kids inside the coffee shop as well as board games. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. (They measure and whisk the matcha)

    Communitea is a really charming spot with a cozy, community-focused vibe. The shop is super cute and features items from independent vendors, which is a nice touch and fun to browse while you wait. I ordered The Headliner along with the green chili bacon egg burrito, and both were delicious the burrito especially was a standout. They also have a great selection of games and books to hang out with (even spotted the full Harry Potter set ), which makes it an easy place to linger. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which really adds to the overall experience. Great place to grab coffee, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

    Iced chai- just milk with sugar
    Andrea R.

    Honestly was super excited to try this spot, it looked legit. The ambience is really nice and very hip. The staff were super friendly. I ordered the chai latte iced and Vietnamese cold brew. Super bummed with the drinks. The chai was literally just milk and cinnamon. Really disappointing.

    I visited for the first time this weekend and got a Hollaback Girl latte. The taste was great and I enjoyed it quite a bit but the price point was a little on the higher side so this is going to be more of a once-in-a-while treat for me. It's a little loud inside and there were some kids running around. Not the biggest deal but if this is a common occurrence on weekends, this isn't a place I would take a friend to hang out and talk. Otherwise, it seems like a cool spot with some interesting drinks.

    Seasonal menu

    An overwhelming amount of menus to look at while the staff stares you down waiting for you to decide on what you want. They raced over to help me and then seemed annoyed when I wasn't ready. I felt rushed. Coffee was fine. Tasted a bit burnt and didn't have enough syrup or milk so I had to ask for more. Still didn't have much flavor to it. Kids' play area is cute and they have monthly events, which is cool. They have plants for sale, but it's a whole process to buy them. Their merch doesn't all have pricing so don't bother with that. I like the vibe of the place, but not enough to justify coming back.

    Krystal H.

    Such a nice place with a place for kids to play a little while you get your matcha or coffee fix. Came here before getting my hair done and saw that they had monthly specials. I tried the banana bread matcha which was different because on top of the cold foam they also added cinnamon. I also liked that they could make cold foam with oat milk instead of a dairy whole milk

    I stopped here a few times during a recent work trip and enjoyed the coffee each day. They've got a few homemade syrups that are pretty unique - burnt sage is one that I tried. There are plenty of chairs to set up if you wanna work remote and it's a bright space. There's even some kids toys along the back wall for children to play with. I also liked the little plant stand set up by the front door. Overall, just a really homey place with friendly people working.

    Such a cute little coffee and tea shop! Located in a small shopping strip next to several different shops. The moment you walk in, you'll notice a fairly large sitting area, which is great for individuals who want to just study or sit in a relatively quiet area. Additionally, out front, at least on the day I came in, people were doing a sip and paint with coffee/tea, which was really cool. The baristas were really nice and welcoming. They have a very large menu and you can tell that it was done intentionally so that all the flavors can hit all sorts of folks while being as traditional as possible. I got the honey lavendar latte with oatmilk on ice. Delicious! Definitely coming back here as soon as I can.

The bathroom was nice and clean as well. We got the chubby cheesecake, sweet corn latte, and berries n cream matcha. Our cashier was very sweet and helpful with understanding the menu options. The cheesecake was SO delicious with fluffy cream on top and honey on the bottom. The corn latte is so yummy, such a nice light corn flavor! The berry matcha has a strong flavor and the fresh, sweet berries in it perfectly complement the matcha bitterness. The foam on the top is not too heavy either. Can't wait to come back when i'm in the area!

    Long-time customer, first-time reviewer…read more Smoking Tiger has one of my favorite pastries around - the Garlic Cream Cheese bread. Honestly, it's the main reason I keep coming back. The bread is soft, the garlic flavor is just right, and the cream cheese filling brings everything together perfectly. Their coffee drinks are also consistently good. My personal favorite is the Smokin' Spaniard, probably because I'm a sucker for anything made with condensed milk. It's rich, smooth, and just sweet enough without being over the top. On a recent visit, I decided to try their new Pineapple Express. It was a hot day, and I was in the mood for something fruity and refreshing without any caffeine. It was decent - light and refreshing, though it didn't quite stand out as much as their coffee drinks for me. Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries and coffee spots. Between the delicious pastries, solid drinks, and cozy atmosphere, it's a place I find myself returning to again and again.

    This is my 5-6th time here and Ive finally perfected my order!…read more Pros: To start off, today I got the Iced Vanilla Latte and it's my new go-to! It's incredibly delicious and perfect this us my second day in a row here. My friend usually gets a flavored Matcha which is great, but got a Peach barley tea and said it was refreshing. The service is good, they get the drinks out fast. The menu has unique specialty options aswell. There is a good amount of seating and it's a very welcoming shop. Cons: -The sizing is very small for the price. A plain vanilla latte is $6.40 which is a bit steep. However, I understand that most cafes are pretty pricey now a day. (With that being said this is one of the only places i'd spend my money on.) -I have tried some of their specialty lattes and they are extremely sweet(I would recommend getting less sweet if youre more of a espresso person) -Parking is pretty terrible apart from early mornings Overall: The pros overlook the cons for me and I love this coffee shop! Worth the drive and is definitely my top 3. I would definitely recommend this place.

    This café is located in a large shopping plaza with three coffee shops right next to each other…read more There's also an In-N-Out and Fogo de Chão nearby, so parking can get pretty packed during busy hours, although the plaza itself has a large parking lot. The café has a bright, cozy, and minimalist atmosphere with warm wood tones and soft pink accents. The space is clean and well maintained. They also have a nice selection of pastries and breads, including different kinds of croissants and salt bread. I ordered The Usual, their cream-top latte. The cream was very thick and heavy, almost like whipped cream, so I think it may be a matter of personal preference. The coffee itself was decent, but I didn't find the flavor particularly unique or memorable. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I didn't find anything particularly special about the coffee itself.

    Omg! I just moved to the North OC area, and I'm happy to say I've found one of my new go-to coffee…read moreshop study spots in the area! :) I'm currently studying for a big exam, and it's been surprisingly challenging finding coffee shops to study at with the beautiful, modern, aesthetic ambience that makes me happy, without feeling anxious there won't be enough seats or space when I get there, esp since I have to drive a decent amount to get to cafes. I've been getting a little stir crazy at home and finally making the trek here was so worth it-- I felt more motivated than ever to get work done with a tasty treat. I'm not sure if it's because CSUF just started this week, or because I came on a Friday morning, but it was really spacious and open with tons of outlets (almost at each table). Not sure how other days are, but I'd love to bring my study group friends here in the future, since it's so hard to find places with enough space for study groups! Not to mention the clean bathroom haha and good wifi haha The staff here is also incredibly sweet and friendly, making it a comfortable and good experience. Because it was my first time, I asked the barista about her recommendation, and she also asked my general preferences to cater to my taste, and I ended up with a seasonal Birthday Cake Americano at half sweetness (since I don't have much of a sweet tooth). It was perfect for me! I don't usually get Americanos and have a sensitive stomach rn, but it was delicious and kind on my stomach lol. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, and maybe it could've been heated up a little more, but I did wait a bit to eat it, so it was no big deal. The other barista was also so sweet in answering my many questions haha The only struggle as others have mentioned is the parking - I ended up parking at the retail parking nearby, which had plenty of spots but can get pretty pricey, and it sounds like you can park in the areas others have mentioned still (like The Hub I guess has "New Here" parking spots or the employee parking spots?), so I'll need to look more next time. But there's quite a bit around the area within walking distance, you can easily make a day out of it too. Also since it is at the first floor of an apartment in a college town, there will be students going in and out, so just be prepared for that haha -- reminded me of dorm days, and I'm glad students have a spot like this :) Overall, the yummy coffee, amazing vibe and beautiful ambiance, especially as a study spot, alongside the kind and comfortable service has been just what I've been looking for in a coffee shop around here, and I'm excited to return! Thank you New Here!

    Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.

The black tea tapiochi doesn't really have any flavor but the brown sugar tapiochi has the distinct roasted taste, which adds more character to the popcorn milk tea.

It's a strong toasty tea blend with rich creamy buttery popcorn flavor, tastes just like a cereal milk or almost like a corn milk!

    The tapiochi is the highlight of Torotea!…read more The Popcorn Milktea with brown sugar tapiochi was not my favorite, as I don't favor the taste of the popcorn. The tapiochi added a nice texture to the drink. 3/10 The Matcha Einspanner is very good, although I wish it was a little creamier and a little sweeter to balance out the strength of the matcha. 8/10 The Creme Brulee IceMilk with brown sugar tapiochi is one of my favorite drinks to get! The creme brulee top is super tasty, and goes super well with the tapiochi. It can definitely be a little sweet, so you might want to adjust the sweetness. 9/10 The Osmanthus Citrus Refresher is my all-time favorite drink! The osmanthus flavor is so refreshing in the hotter months, and the citrus adds a nice touch to the tea. 10/10 The staff at all of the Torotea locations are super friendly, and are always willing to give recommendations. The interior is super cute, with a minimalist cave-like design.
