Such a cute local coffee spot! I ordered their pistachio outpost and it was so good. I was afraid…read moreit would be overwhelming sweet so I got it with 1 pump of flavor instead of 3 and it was perfect. The bits of pistachio on top made it even better! Also ordered their dirty Thai and my bf really liked that one too. For food we had the avo bagel on the jalapeño cheese bagel and the turkey sandwich. Both were delicious! Will be back :)

FIRST visit: *…read moreFARE(S) feasted on: *** Matcha latte *** Honey Oat latte *** Decaf oat latte * FRIENDLY service: Yes * FRESH air seating outside? No * FAIR pricing: Decent * FREE parking: Yes, plaza lot - note, entrance is before the street light and corner building * FYI: Delicious, fresh brewed (strong) coffee & friendly smiles for service - spacious, brightly-lit café for studying or getting work done (every table was occupied by someone working on their laptop on a weekend). A/C was strong on the day we visited, so bring a hoodie if you consider staying here for a while. FOUR & 1/2 stars **** '

After seeing my friend review of this place, and being a fan of Street Fighter, I had to come and…read morecheck it out. Glad I did. The place is decked out with all sorts of Street Fighter theme. Very cool decors. I loved that they also have the Street Fighter Arcade game for us to play while we wait on our drinks. This theme will last until the end of June 30, 2026. Not sure what the next theme will be. I did ask one of the staffs and she said they are not supposed to reveal what the next theme will be. For the Street Fighter theme, they only have four drinks. 1. Ryu - Lychee Slush with Dragon Fruit Popping Boba 2. Guile - Mango Dream with Military Green Apple Star Jelly 3. Ken - Strawberry Mango Green Tea with Chamoy Swirl 4. Chun-Li - Blue Curacao Lemonade with Lychee Jelly We ended up ordering the Ryu and Chun-Li drinks. Both came in a cool looking Street Fighter theme containers. Both drinks were refreshing, but I like the Ryu drink a little better. Also got a chance to play a little bit of the Street Fighter Arcade game while enjoying my drink. Overall, we had a fun time here.

Thirsty Waters x Street Fighter Collab! *only til June…read more30th* We came here specifically to check out the collaboration and themed set up inside the location and it was so DOPE! My wife and I have never been here but for anything Street Fighter I had to check it out. I'm a huge fan of the video game and they hit the mark on everything! There's a specific themed menu for this collab with 4 drinks. The set up is pretty much kiosk ordering, but staff will help as needed. The whole vibe set up inside was so cool! All the table are designed with the stages in the video game. The walls have a bunch of posters. There's a shelf with toys and collectibles. They have the arcade set up for free play of Street Fighter as well. We ended up ordering the Ken & Guile Drinks. Ken Drink - STRAWBERRY MANGO GREEN TEA WITH CHAMOY SWIRL Guile Drink - MANGO DREAM WITH MILITARY GREEN APPLE STAR JELLY We enjoyed them and would recommend. The Ken one was refreshing and light. The Guile one was delicious with good amount of sweetness. We might need to come back again and try the other two. Per the staff they do different collaborations each month. We had a great time hanging out in here. I loved the whole vibe. Thanks, Thirsty Waters! ( ^_^)b

Yummy! 5 stars for the coffee and food alone…read more I absolutely loved the coffee and pastries. It's one of the best coffees I've ever had. I wanted to try all the desserts! I've been trying to go back but it's far from me. I honestly think the coffee was better than Dutch Bros and Tierra Mia.

I usually go to the Buena Park location but this one is super convenient since it's right at the…read moreentrance of 99 Ranch. The shop is pretty small with limited seating, but it's clean, minimalistic, and the service is always quick and friendly. I usually order the smokin' spaniard and it's always solid. This time we also got the corn latte and their seasonal cream top Americano. I'm pretty picky when it comes to corn lattes but this one was surprisingly good. The corn foam was rich, creamy, and not watered down at all. The sweetness level was spot on too. The cream top Americano was another hit. It reminded me of a salted cream coffee with a nice balance between the bitterness of the coffee and the savory cream on top. Smoking tiger has definitely become part of my regular rotation and I can't wait to come back and try more of their seasonal drinks.

Reviewing as a DESSERT location: drinks are looking at 3.5/5, wouldn't suggest coming for drinks…read morebut the cubes are so so good Cubes come at roughly $6.50-6.90 each, depending on what flavor you get, and we picked out the matcha and pistachio. Contrary to expectations the pastry itself was very buttery, and while not flaky it also wasn't just reminiscent of plain bread. The cream is the biggest highlight: they really load it up, and I especially adored the matcha cream as it carried a rich amount of matcha flavor. The pistachio cream was nothing too special, featuring small bits of crushed pistachios, so I wouldn't recommend it. Drinks on the other hand come $6-8: I didn't mind the fact that they batch their matcha here into containers (when we went, there were only two workers present and were incredibly busy so I understand the time constraints there), but the matcha itself wasn't too great and the drink itself was mostly just your milk of choice feat. a dash of green

It had yuzu zest mixed in the cream and gave a nice texture. We also got the black sesame spanner and the matcha spanner. Both were pretty good. The store is clean and minimalist looking.

Was there July 6 at 9:55pm. Drinks were good but really disappointed with customer service…read more My friend was asking about one of the tea beverages and the guy at the counter said sorry we are closed. Didn't even listen to what she had to say. We weren't ordering we were inquiring. And then when I was leaving I had a trash and asked if there was a trash can and he said no sorry we are closed. Trash bags are closed. Wtf is that ? I've never been spoken to that way in my whole life and I thought it was so rude. If your trash bag is closed you can reopen it or open a new damn trash bag. Learn better service. You can have great food and drinks but when service is bad it's gets a 1 star review

The tea was very fragrant and 70% sweetness was perfect for me. Not too sweet and not too bitter. Jasmine Green Milk Tea -- One of my favorites. The tea is also very fragrant. Some people might find it a little too floral but I personally loved it. I got it at 70% sweetness as well and it was perfect. To me, the taste is pretty similar to molly tea. They also have a decent seating area and the service is nice. You can order online as well, though the drinks are about $1 more compared to ordering in store. Definitely my go to tea shop!

The boba texture is also quite nice - balanced and chewy, with the sweetness coming through. I stuck to the popular drinks this time and they definitely exceeded expectations.
