HHC Coffee was a wonderful stop and a great way to start our day! I enjoyed the Strawberry Matcha,…read morewhich was refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. My husband ordered the Brown Sugar Maple Latte and absolutely loved the rich, warm flavors. We also shared the Ham and Cheese Pesto Croissant, and it was delicious--light, buttery, flaky, and filled with great flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating area. We loved dining outside and enjoying the beautiful weather while sipping our drinks and relaxing. It created the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were excellent, and the food was just as impressive. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for quality coffee, delicious pastries, and a great outdoor dining experience!

The drinks were decent, but the service felt pretty indifferent throughout our visit. When we…read moreordered, the interaction felt very transactional, with little friendliness or engagement from the staff. When one of our drinks came noticeably sour and I asked if it could be remade, they did replace it without issue, but the interaction felt more like an obligation than an effort to ensure we had a good experience. I don't expect over-the-top enthusiasm, but a little warmth and hospitality can go a long way in making customers feel welcome. Unfortunately, that was something we felt was missing during our visit.

Love this place so much!…read more I've been to the Cerritos location many times so I figured I'd try the Santa Ana location. There's more seating at this location which is nice! Three tables and a bench. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Latte with Grass Jelly for 7.25, and I finished it in literally 10 minutes. The prices are really good if you don't get toppings too! 50% sweetness was perfect for me, and I like how they have descriptions under each of the teas on the menu. Next time I definitely want to try one of their frappes with purple rice. They also have many season drinks including an Earl Grey Cheesecake Latte! Parking is in a small plaza and it's a 30 minute maximum, so definitely plan to grab and go! Quite close to OCMA and South Coast as well.

For BAKO TEA HOUSE, I have to say that in am actually so utterly devastated and disappointed at how yelp and reviews lied to me saying that this place is 4.5 stars. The service was fine. The interior looks really nice. The phoenix oolong tea latte and the roasted oolong tea latte are disgusting. Tell me why I was feeling bad when I saw the drinks come out in under a minute. In what world can you have a diluted, old, no flavor, fake tea with the most mangled boba (it was not cooked properly) and charge me $7 without batting an eye? Horrible quality tea, horrible price, horrible boba, 0 stars if I could. Nah, save yourself your $7-$10 dollars and go get yourself some Omomo, some sunright, some OTHER drink

We were on our way to Ventura and randomly chose this place for lunch, and we were pleasantly…read moresurprised by how good everything was. This is the true definition of a "mom-and-pop shop." The owners were working that Saturday, and we learned they have been in business for 11 years. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Shaken Garlic Steak, and my wife had the Banh Mi. The bread was flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The meat in both sandwiches was tender, and all of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I also enjoyed the homemade macaroni salad, and the oatmeal cookie--made without raisins--was a light and tasty treat that completed a delicious lunch. We only wish we had discovered this place sooner. It will definitely become a regular stop for us whenever we travel to the Los Angeles area.

Every now and then you stumble on a hidden gem that you become obsessed with. Sandwich society is…read morejust such a gem. We came upon Sandwich Society based upon its Yelp reviews. We tried the pork belly and the cubano sandwiches. They were excellent in every way. The cubano was true to spec. Tender ham, mustard pickles on a beautiful roll. Simply delicious. The Pork Belly was spectacular. The pork was tender and flavorful and the cucumbers, cilantro, onions and jalapeños made it a flavor delight. All on a delicious roll. Just writing this makes me want another one! However, there's one thing you do not want to miss. Their newest addition is Salt Bread. These are sold 4 to a package and and are like the yummiest croissant you've ever tasted. I was sitting waiting for my order to be completed when the owner cam out with a bit of one on a fork. I was hooked. They're already baked, but the instructions are to put them in an air fryer (we used a small convection toaster oven) for 2-4 minutes at 350. I also like them split and toasted. They're fantastic! You'll want to put The Sandwich Society on your restaurant list! (And you'll want Salt Bread in your pantry too!).

It's iced coffee as dessert. An einspanner is a traditional hot Viennese coffee topped with whipped cream. This is the Orange County/Vietnamese/Japanese version. You can also get iced matcha drinks with cream tops as well. There's also a small variety of pastries: chocolate scone; rosemary ham and cheese croissant, co ammon rolls. Vibe is industrial kawai with a dash of etsy grandma. Concrete floors. Mid pop but at least it's not too loud. Popular with Asian American teen girls and their awkward boyfriends, college boys with panda backpacks and the occasional auntie. Service was friendly! I'll be back the next time I'm in the OC.

For roughly $7 a drink i did feel like a majority of my cup was ice, but that aside, I really enjoyed all the drinks we tried. The red bean matcha was so tasty, matcha quality is good as well, but if you're a fan of sweeter drinks (like at airoma, 7leaves etc) then id maybe ask for it to be sweetened a bit more. The black sesame cream on the hojicha was very good, but the hojicha base was a bit watery in my opinion. The yuzu matcha tonic was SO good, my favorite drink hands down, so refreshing and perfectly sweetened. Service was ok, not super slow but not shockingly fast either, I could definitely imagine you'd be waiting quite a while though during their busier hours. Otherwise the seating is nice and the AC was PUMPING which i appreciate because we came on a hot day haha I can't wait to come back and try some of their other drinks!
