I love the ambiance of this coffee shop! It's nice to study. The coffee is amazing! I've now had two of their special menu coffees. One was a rose and pistachio latte, so delicious. This one I had today is called the Honey, Honey. When I was ordering it, the barista who helped me was the one who came up with the recipe! It's shaken, and the strawberry with the honey pair so well together! You can choose any milk preference you'd like. I highly recommend this coffee shop. Not to mention, if you purchase anything from the card shop next door, Shuffle and Cut Games, bring your receipt, and you get a dollar off your drink! This will be a coffee shop I frequent! read more

This place is so cute and I am so obsessed! They have coffee, pastries, and board games! The workers here were so incredibly sweet and friendly. I came here on a Sunday morning to try a new coffee place and stumbled into this shop. Right away you can tell this place truly wants to bring the community together. They offer weekly game nights where you can meet new people and just have a great time together. I got the Cardamon rose pistachio tea latte without the pistachio and it was soooo delicious. Absolutely love this place and I can't wait to be back! read more

They have amazing cold brew! My favorite is a seasonal drink from this summer that they were kind enough to make despite it being off the menu. It is a cold brew with orange/coconut cold foam on top. You can really taste the orange flavor in the foam and it pairs extremely well with the coffee. They have lots of seating and the interior has a colorful vibe. The staff is super nice and helpful. They take the time to explain anything on the menu and give their recommendations. Would love to try more of the drinks on the menu but I just keep going back to the same drink. read more

Communitea Coffee - Cold brew w/ orange & coconut cold foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

My favorite coffee place in the area! Communitea is a great place for trying fun new drink flavors, studying or working, playing games with friends, and seeing other fun small businesses sell their products. They're really living up to the name Communitea. The workers are always extremely helpful and polite and do their best to get your drink tasting the way you like it. I always like getting their espresso tonic variations or trying the different cold foam variations on top of a cold brew. My top favorites so far have been the cherry espresso tonic and the pumpkin pie cold foam. I highly recommend checking this place and supporting a woman owned local business! read more

A+ in all areas! 1. The mellow vibes 2. The amazing customer service 3. The drinks I came in and told Charlie and Kaylie that I was wanting something without caffeine and was told the Chill Pill Lavender Latte was a good choice. Um, yes, it definitely was. Writing about it now, I'm craving it. I was enjoying the peaceful morning at the shop and Charlie brought me some Elderberry Hibiscus tea to taste as another non-caffeinated drink. That was such a sweet thing for her to do. I'm looking forward to tasting more of their drinks soon! I found my new favorite tea shop. Thank you ladies! I'll see you again soon. read more

Communitea Coffee - Chill Pill Blue Lavender and Elderberry Hibiscus Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Love this coffee spot- The first time I came here was for a mom meet up & I absolutely love the fact that they have a dedicated section with toys & and a little play kitchen for the little ones. It's so rare for a coffee shop to have anything that appeals to kids & it's just the best! My daughter loved playing while I got to chat with others & got to enjoy my drink without having to take it to go! Their brown sugar cookie delight is so good & creamy. The few times I've been here the service has been great. I believe the owner was the one that made our drinks & she is super nice. I love that they also showcase local vendors, they have a cutie display of really gorgeous floral arrangements by a local florist. They host game nights & other events as well. I can't wait to continue to come back & try their seasonal drinks. They also have drinks for the little ones, my daughter always loves to ask me to take her to the "coffee with sprinkles"'place. (The vanilla steamer with dye free sprinkles) They are located on Imperial & Randolph across the street from the Brea mall- plenty of parking in their little shopping center. read more

Communitea Coffee - Brown sugar cookie delight - - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

I'm so glad that there is another local, small business coffee shop open in the area! This coffee shop is definitely for the communitea, not only do they offer a variety of beverages & pastries to choose from they also have a kids corner for children to enjoy as well as a board game section for those who want a friendly competition while also enjoying their drink! In addition, they host events such as a book club. The ladies working were nice and our drinks came out quickly, I ordered the brown sugar (can't remember the full name) it came with a cold foam super delicious but the coffee was very light almost tasted watered down. The other drink was a white chocolate latte and that one came out really well. I definitely am coming back to try a different drink! read more

Very cute little coffee shop. They have a good variety of drinks and pastries. Their ham breakfast sandwich is great. There is also a little play kitchen for kids and board games in the back. Great option for stopping by on the way to work. read more

Service was really, really good. The barista who took our order was very determined to give us drinks that we would like, asking questions like, "What is your flavor profile? What types of flavors do you really like?" He was so great and very nice and patient. I liked him a lot. The shop was cute, pretty minimalistic and clean/uncluttered. My daughter bought a plant from one of the sellers they had featured in the shop. I don't prefer mass produced syrups but the barista said that they purchase all those syrups from one small company in up north in the US that made them clean without garbage and unnecessary additives. Was it true? I don't know but I took his word for it. We both ordered our drinks half sweet but it turns out that their drinks are already not overly sweet, so we could've done with more sugar. My daughter ended up having them add more while I left mine alone. I ordered mine with a salted cold foam that was pretty disappointing. I felt like it needed to be thicker in texture and saltier. My daughter loves matcha, like the legit grassy matcha flavors. She ordered a matcha latte with oat milk but when it came out, she and I both looked at it with a grimace. She immediately said to me, "Yeah, that color? That's going to be a problem ..." It was so pale, you already knew by eyeballing it that the matcha flavor would be really mild and dilute-- and it was. It overwhelmingly tasted like oat milk with just a hint of matcha. I told her to tell them to remake it but she refused because she doesn't like wasting food. We really wanted to like it because the barista was just so nice and it was a coffee place really close to her work place but I'm not sure we'll try it again. read more

Communitea Coffee - Matcha Latte with oat milk: unfortunately disappointing and not for lovers of the rich, grassy matcha flavor. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Got a recommendation from a family member about this little magical hidden gem. Being lovers of coffee and luckily it being so close by my girlfriend and I strapped up our running shoes on a nice summer day and began our run. We made our way over to Communitea with excitement we were greeted with amazing service who explained everything from coffee teas and even some pastries and other food items. After hearing our name called we sat and sipped on our wonderful coffees, us not being a fan of sweet coffee we ordered a viet and a brown sugar cookie delight and might I say they were both amazing not overly sweet just like we like. Definitely a great setting a nice indoor seating area and also outdoor. We loved it and will continue coming here for coffee! read more

The owner was friends enough to invite me back to try something else so today I got the brown sugar cookie. I believe it's called. Eloise was so sweet, friendly, and inviting. Her smile is definitely contagious. It might be worth noting that my brother loves anything Rose flavored but he even thought that the pistachio rose was a bit too strong. Anyway, I just wanted to update to say that this latte is very delicious and I appreciated the care that the owner and Eloise took to fix the initial mistakes on my first visit. read more

Communitea lives up to it's hype. Definitely appreciate that it's women-owned! It's in a fairly small plaza but parking wasn't an issue when we got there. Restroom is in the back and is super clean, well maintained. Loved the "reading material" on the walls. There's plenty of comfy indoor seating and I ADORE the outdoor seating area! When we got there, people were situated, either chatting it up or on their laptops handling business. It's obvious that the cafe serves it's community and people are regulars. Everything is super vibrant and very warm and welcoming, including the baristas and customer service. I got the pleasure of meeting April - super cool vibes, great attitude, loved the attention she gave us! Thank you for the stickers April! We ordered the lemonade, spanish latte, the white chocolate raspberry latte, and breakfast sandwich. We loved our drinks! I would definitely recommend and visit again! read more

I've been here a few times and definitely need to make this coffee shop one of my regulars. For food, I got the almond croissant warmed up and it was very tasty. My 3 year old and I were fighting over it. Haha. To drink, I got the Blueberry Matcha and it was perfect. Not too sweet with subtle hints of blueberry, smooth, velvety. The service was amazing, the cashier was great and quick to recommend their top summer drinks, thats how I chose the blueberry matcha. The ambiance is nice, good size, and it feels so welcoming coming with your children since they do have a kids corner. read more

Communitea Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Do not let the name ("Communi-tea") deter you away from ordering coffee, even though the store ends in "Coffee." Communitea Coffee is located in the plaza with the IHOP and The Vitamin Shoppe, at the corner of Imperial and Randolph. A friend of mine had been raving about Communitea Coffee and their Celtic Chill Cold Brew (Irish cream cold brew topped with cold foam) last week and I knew I had to visit when I was in the area. My friend had even visited multiple times in a week, and does not even live in the area! We love to support local businesses, especially "woman owned, family supported business" noted on their website. If I remember correctly, this used to be another type of tea storefront, as I used to be a patient at North Orange County Chiropractic & Wellness Center next door, but never visited since I prefer coffee. Before entering the coffee shop, the chalkboard outside caught my eye with their specials, especially a Berry Espresso Tonic. This summer, I have been on an espresso tonic-kick and love that Communitea has their own variation. The Celtic Chill Cold Brew is what drew me here, but after eyeing the seasonal drinks, and after asking the barista what their fav was as well, I ordered the Berry Espresso Tonic. Berry Espresso Tonic Fever Tree Tonic flavored with our organic blackberry syrup, topped with espresso and tart pomegranate juice. One can taste the sweetness of the organic syrup, but it was not too overpowering and it was perfectly balanced with the tart pomegranate juice and topped with a dried orange slice for a garnish. I loved the creaminess of the espresso and the creative flavors. If you are not "100% happy with your drink," they will fix it for you! (That is a bold statement, especially for a local shop, but they want you to enjoy your visit and return! Hopefully even recommend them to others.) So take a risk and try something new! I also love how they seem to have ties with the community and will be having a "Candle Making Workshop" coming up in a few days (with pre-registration required). There are board games neatly stacked in one corner and a little play area for children at the other corner. There are a couple of tables on the outside and plenty of tables on the inside. I would love to meet up with friends here in the future, hang out, or play a board game or so. Great vibes and plenty of parking! Lets support small businesses! read more

Nice little spot to grab coffee and study if you're around the area. I got the pistachio cold brew with sweet foam I believe. Would come back again when I'm in the area or on my break time! read more

My husband and I were looking for a coffee spot to be productive. We found this place, but we werent a fan. We ordered the Matcha Latte and Viet Coffee. Drinks to us were very basic. Matcha tasted very milky and the viet coffee tasted bland for us. The coffee shop itself was ok. Service was nice, they were welcoming and friendly when we walked in, but then got our name wrong and took a while to figure out that my drinks were ready. We werent sure of the vibe they were going for. They have a little kitchenette for kids to play so it was fairly loud with kids screaming and throwing things, while we were trying to be productive. Couldn't figure out if this is a place to get work done, or take your kids to play. read more

This is such a wonderful coffee spot that I think is a fantastic addition to the plaza. I work nearby and popped in to check it out. There's ample seating, great ambience for studying, and a well rounded selection of drinks. Here is my rating for my order: Cold Brew with Peppermint Cold Foam, 9/10 - Cold brew is always my go to at every coffee shop. This was my first time trying it with peppermint, and the barista/cashier made a great recommendation. It was the perfect hint of peppermint to go along with the upcoming holiday season. I need to come back and try some other drinks! read more

First time at this coffee shop, I have wanted to try it since my friend Nadia M. posted. So happy we came here I think it's another new favorite. The owner April is so sweet we had no idea what to order since they have such a wide variety of coffee to choose from. I ended up ordering the mocha latte with caramel oat milk and the banana foam ontop so delicious. My friend she ordered her and her husband a white mocha with banana foam on top. They have inside seating and some outside. They also have games for kids to play this is a really cool coffee shop absolutely will be back! Thank you so much April for helping us choose our coffee today you are wonderful. Welcomed us with a smile made our coffee quickly, gave us a run down of how you can choose flavors or maybe make your own. What a wonderful coffee shop can't wait to come back and try more. Close by and has a good amount of parking. I highly recommend trying this coffee shop it's cute and tucked away near Ihop. Thank you again for our delicious cups of coffee and amazing service :) Have a really beautiful day! Aloha read more

nice hidden gem cafe in brea! it's right across from brea mall too. service is very friendly and quick + plenty of parking and seating. been here twice and tried: brown sugar cookie delight ($6): i can see why this is a popular drink, the thick layer of foam is great with the cold brew! would recommend (: raspberry fields ($6): i'm not a fan of the matcha here, it's a bit too milky and couldn't really taste any matcha + i think it's unsweetened? the foam wasn't as raspberry tasting as i expected this cafe is nearby where i work so i would come back to visit again! i would prob only get their coffee rather than matcha, love how big their menu is + seasonal drink options read more

This place truly deserves 5 stars! They're the sweetest baristas in the area & I see the artistry & skill as they create their drinks. It can sometimes get a bit loud when it's packed, but majority time I've gone, it's not too loud & I enjoy working at this place. I'm into any of their matcha drinks (it's smooth) & golden turmeric ginger chai. read more

Came to Communitea for some tea before going to my church and this place was a really cool place to drink coffee or tea. I loved all the quirky and funny decor and signs everywhere and it was just a nice place to hang out with friends, get some work down, or just have a nice cup of coffee while your there. This place really gives you a sense of community with flyers about different groups events they host, flyers with information about who their staff are, lots of board games for you to use, and they even had a little child's area with toys for kids, how cute! I really did get the vibe that this place really wants to foster a community for their customers. Staff was super friendly when taking everyone's orders. I got a Brea Fog and it was delicious, I really enjoyed my drink. I also tried a blueberry scone and it was okay, nothing too fancy. Overall this was a really cool coffee shop with a real sense of community and I think that is very unique and worth visiting again if that's something your interested in. read more

I'm sitting here on a Saturday morning with a coffee and croissant, and I feel like it's going to be a great day. Glad I stopped by. Highly recommend this local spot for good coffee and pastries. Spacious, vibrant decor, great aesthetic, love the patio seating. Owner seems to be very knowledgeable about coffee and is very friendly, the barista that helped me was also very friendly. I ordered the house drip. It was not acidic, had a fruitiness. Also had a butter croissant. It was flaky, soft in the middle. They had a kouign-amann, which I haven't seen since visiting NYC, until I came here. Had to pick one up. read more

Resuming my visits to check out local coffee shops that I've never been to before. This coffee shop is super cute with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating now that it's starting to warm up for the summer. The outdoor seating is shaded so it's nice to spend some time outside during the day without being burned by the sun. I ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk and it was delish! I also loved that they had a little corner indoors for a baby play area. I love these little details and consideration. I also noticed they hosted game nights and book clubs here which fits the name of the coffee shop of emphasizing the importance of community. Love love love! Excited to come back once my little one is born and is able to start enjoying life. read more

Clean, quiet, welcoming vibe. Staff is always so helpful and kind. Kid Corner is incredibly clutch especially because very rare coffee/tea places offer a helpful space for those who have kiddos that need preoccupying. Appreciate the little sign "NOT 100% HAPPY WITH YOUR DRINK" where they serve your drink as they pride themselves on making sure you are happy with your drink. Fell in love with their "Love You Matcha" & "Pistachio Petal Cold Brew Delight" (sans Rose syrup as I'm not a fan of rose-flavored things). 2 of my Go-to drinks and will come back repeatedly for them when I'm thirsty for a Strawberry Matcha or Pistachio Cold Brew. And 100% prefer these over any others coffee/tea shops' because they don't overly sweeten their beverages with their flavors or sweetener. Like I can TRULY taste the hint of strawberry without losing the Matcha earthy-ness that I love. Also, I LOVE the fact that they changed using red-dye in their strawberry syrup so you have a cleaner experience with your Matcha. In addition, the way they portion out the Pistachio Cold Foam on their "Pistachio Petal Cold Brew Delight" is so perfect that they make sure you get that delicious cold foam at every sip. How clutch is that?!?!! Their menu is uniquely changing with the Season which is always exciting and tantalizing to me. Any time I'm in the area, or sometimes when I'm just craving one of my 2 favorite drinks, I make sure to stop by to support and quench my coffee/Matcha thirst. read more

I had only tasted Banana Cream Foam on one drink in the past, and it had NOTHING on this Chill Pill Blue Lavender Latte. I've stopped by this trendy coffee shop like 3 times in the last month and K jave ordered the same thing cause I just loved it so much. Tho a bit on the pricier side, you are getting every ounce worth your money. I asked for it with whole milk, and the banana cream foam cause why not? I am so baffled by this drink, I think I hit the latte jackpot. The staff is incredibly friendly and the suite where this is located is super well decorated. I am def a new fan of Communitea Coffee. read more

I love getting an espresso or matcha tonic and they always have great seasonal flavors (please bring back the cherry, berry, and sunburst tonics)! I also love getting a cold brew with a cold foam or the blackberry honey shaken espresso with a cold foam. There's so many options for seating and a cute section for children to play.
