Got the biscoff and the coffee didn't even taste like biscoff. It tasted more like a bitter espresso which is weird considering how light it looks. Overall, wouldn't come back again.

plain ice latte with oat milk
Claudia H.

First time at cortado in garden grove and very pleasantly surprised with how good the drinks are here! We got the plain latte and the biscoff latte (less sweet) , both with oat milk and they were so good! The beans were the long black med - dark and ot was so smooth. A lot of coffee shops have espresso that is kind of on the very bitter and sharp tasting side, but I feel like the lattes here still had that strong deep taste but was very smooth. I'm not the biggest coffee person but I would come here again for sure

Super delicious lattes!! I got the banana cloud latte and was super impressed! The cream top was yummy and the banana taste wasn't too overwhelming. The coffee itself tasted good and was the perfect intensity.

Ice mocha FTW!!!! Made by Angie.

I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while. Finally doing it. Cortado Coffee in Garden Grove (Orange County) is owned by Angie Chun (current owner of Long Black Coffee in Fountain Valley). For those who may not know or remember, Angie used to run Coffee Code in Buena Park for years, and she's also a former owner of another coffee shop, Flat White in Cypress. And let's not forget the 2015 Latte Art Champion (1st place). Yesterday, I've decided to visit Cortado at least one more time. I ordered myself an ice mocha, and the drink was amazing. It was actually made by Angie herself. She never failed me once. This is why I do business with someone who really knows how to run a coffee shop and have a lot of experience. Staff here are very helpful. I think one of them knew exactly who I was. Funny how things goes in life. Overall.... 5 stars for their coffee, the staff, coffee shop, and Angie!!!

Hot vanilla latte
Vu N.

Rainy day called for a hot latte. Went to Cortado. Nice shop. Plenty of parking. Great service. House made vanilla syrup. Good vanilla latte. Beans had a nice fruity flavor. Overall pretty balanced. Can't wait to go back and try more drinks

Banana cloud
Monica R.

Came by here on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. After having my coffee I could tell why. The banana cloud was amazing. I have been craving it for days, since having it for the first time. The espresso is bold and not bitter the banana foam was light and not overly sweet. My nephew tried the biscoff latte which was also really great. I like how balance their drinks are. Custome service and ambiance are great. Definitely recommend stopping here.

Biscoff cookie butter latte
Michelle H.

How have i never been or heard of Cortado before! Cortado is in the middle of the plaza and there is plenty of parking spots available. Lots of seating inside if you wish to study. The baristas were very sweet and gave me great recommendations on what to get! Biscoff cookie butter latte 5/5 the coffee was soo yummy. The roasted beans were not too bitter and sour. Great quality of beans here! I really enjoyed the coffee flavors of the biscoff. Definitely will be coming back to order this drink again Strawberry matcha latte 4/5 pretty yummy! Matcha was smooth and it was not powdery. Nothing out of the ordinary for a strawberry matcha

Our drinks -- not very strong on the coffee front.
Jenny C.

I'm always excited to support and try new coffee shops, especially local ones. Cortado Coffee is located in an older plaza, and the inside has that same-same coffee/boba shop aesthetic -- clean, open spaced , and comfortable. I was really hoping the coffee would stand out, but unfortunately it was just okay for me. Not bad, just a bit underwhelming on the taste compared to what I expected. The staff were okay not engaging or overly friendly or anything bad but still would had been nice to see the staff more upbeat.

Mangot tonic espresso and passion fruit mocktail

Wow my mango tonic is pretty strong. Wish they could have the matcha tonic option soon. I had one at another place and it was splendid.

I've been to Long Black coffee and I noticed they had the same menu. It took me a while to realize that they're the same branch (?). Same beans on same, same menu, same style. Different city. Parking is small. The inside was quiet and clean. The baristas were very quiet and were emotionless, except when speaking towards each other. It took a few minutes for them to take our order. We ordered a pistachio, their latte of the month, and a pour over coffee. We also ordered a ham and cheese. We finished eating our pastry. And by then, our drinks were finally ready. We noticed that they had to remake the pour over coffee for some odd reason. The pistachio is a creamy, but didn't have hints of pistachio. The Valentine's Day special was good and the pour over was also good. We have the same beans at home that we've purchased from Long Black Coffee, so it was nice to have it. Overall, I wouldn't say it was amazing. I'd rather go back to Long Black Coffee for service and drinks.

I was randomly in Garden Grove for a few hours and needed a coffee stop. I had zero idea of where to go, so when found this place on Yelp, I liked what I saw and gave it a shot. So glad I did! Sometimes coffee shops inside little strip malls don't always pan out, but this was one of the better lattes I've had in a while. My drink is always simple, iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot, and this one was on point. I was impressed with the oat milk and the perfect blend with the honey they provided. There was plenty of space inside for anyone who wanted to hang out or open their laptop for work. The Baristas were friendly and I was in and out in a matter of seven minutes. Parking wasn't a problem either. Considering I had no expectation going in, I left very happy, and if I'm ever in that area again, I would definitely go back. The strip mall itself isn't that appealing, but don't let the looks fool you, this was a good coffee shop.

Coffee cream latte
Linda V.

Came here to try their einspanner but for whatever reason this morning ended up getting their coffee cream latte as soon as my eyes panned to it on the menu. Glad I did. They will ask if you want your coffee for here or to go. Had a few hours to get some work done and enjoyed the soft music and drink in a nice ceramic black cup, friendly staff and decent tables. Highly recommend - looking forward to trying their other drinks. I think their coffee is solid.

Matcha EINSPANNER and Hazelnut Latte
Janet T.

Cortado Coffee was actually not part of our itinerary. We wanted to try the dim sum and banh beo place right next door but, we were waiting for 2 YELPIES to arrive to join us so we went here first too kill time... MATCHA EINSPANNER: 9/10 Rich, creamy and not sweet. Pure matcha goodness! HAZELNUT MOCHA LATTE: 10/10 Probably their most popular drink. It's strong, rich and creamy. AMBIANCE: Quite a lot of people inside and outside the store so it's legit good ;) KEEP IT UP CORTADO COFFEE!!!

Is this place pet friendly?

No other food items beside the croissants?

Generally dependent on what's available in their pastry display - I've seen egg sandwiches, ham and cheese croissants, and spinach pastries.

Do they serve espresso here or just coffee?

Both

The first time I tried this fresh fruit cake was when a co-worker brought it for a party. It was…read moreFANTASTIC!! So, I bought a 1/4 sheet cake for my husband's birthday on purpose because I wanted leftovers!!! The fruit is fresh and plentiful. The cake has two regular cake layers, one layer of crispy pastry and a pudding layer all surrounded by delicious (not too sweet) fresh whipped cream)... This is my favorite kind of cake and if you'll compare the Yelp ratings on other bakeries who also sell a similar type cake, Long Phung Bakery wins!! They make them fresh daily and you can normally just walk in to get one, but call ahead to reserve!

It seems a bit messy, or maybe they need a bigger shop. Step further into the shop and there it is, the case of cakes! The case itself is old and the window to view the cakes is not clear, seems foggy. Hard to see the cakes. But with all the hype about this bakery on social media, I had to try it The Fruit Cakes are unique with fresh fruit not glazed or jam. Big bite size strawberries, mango, kiwi, grapes, pineapple with a thin layer of sponge cake, layers of crunchy phyllo and whipped cream. The smallest cake is a 1/4 sheet which cost $45. With all the fruit on top, it made it challenging to slice nice looking dessert slices. Super yummy, I can understand why people are making reels about this place on social media. It's a winner. Friendly service, accommodating and responsive to our needs. We requested no kiwi due to one allergy to it and they make it within 10 minutes.

This is the place to go if you want cream puffs in OC! I've been going here since I was a child,…read moreand truly, I've never had a better cream puff than from here. Anyone I've offered a Manmi cream puff to agrees with me. Cream puffs are 75 cents each. They're big and are generously filled with a custard cream. The pastry bit itself is fluffy and not too dense, unlike other puffs I've had. It's not too sweet, and if I don't watch myself, I'd easily eat a shameful amount of them in a single sitting. I usually pay in cash, but you can pay with card (except American Express) if you're okay with a small processing fee. There isn't much seating in the bakery, but there are a couple of chairs and tables to the left. From my experience, people usually just come and go. Service is standard and relatively friendly. 100/10 would recommend.

I just first wanted to remind you I'm a big foodie and always base on yelp review. I love cream…read morepuffs by all means and was looking forward to trying these. They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.
