Golden State Coffee Roasters - Hand made brown sugar pop tart, Vanilla Late & Cortado coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Placentia, California

A great spot whether you're grinding through work or catching up with friends. The space is huge with an industrial-modern vibe that actually works, plenty of seating, good wifi, and enough room that you're not in other people's spaces. The kind of place you can actually settle into for a few hours. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, which always sets the right tone. I'll be upfront, I'm no coffee connoisseur, but the latte was good and I'd happily order it again. Overall just a really good vibe. Would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

I have gotten extremely fond of Golden State. They have wonderfully flavored espresso with lots of variety in coffee drinks and pastries. Their matcha and their iced Spanish latte are my favorites! Pricing is affordable. Baristas are always friendly and knowledgeable. They have lots of restrooms inside. There's a HUGE amount of indoor seating. I just wish they had more sizes than a 16oz and I wish they'd have a loyalty system. But definitely a 5 star coffee shop! read more

I was able to try the Iced Honey Lavender Latte and it was so good. The guy working was doing a good job greeting people and taking orders and fulfilling the orders. The coffee shop is huge with plenty of seats. It wasn't busy nor loud on a Wednesday morning so I would definitely come back to get a coffee and get some work done. read more

Cool space with a lot of seating. One of the workers could not be bothered as he was busy talking to his friend the whole time. Coffee was okay, I got the london fog latte and wish it was a little sweeter. read more

It's been a minute since I last have been here. It's such a cute spot to study in with lots of space and excellent iced coffee! (That's all I had!)

Phenomenal spot!! The location is in Old Towne Placentia which is already a vibe for me, it reminds me of my home country so much. It's right next to the metro station so there's lots of parking nearby on top of street parking. This was our first time and it did not disappoint! Not only is this place HUGE but it's so nice inside and comfy and such a great spot to hang out with a large group or even come to study! They have the roaster out on the floor as well that you can see behind glass windows which just added to the ambiance inside. The barista was sweet and answered all my questions. Food and drinks came out fast! I am still currently caffeine free so I ordered a hot chocolate with a turkey sausage breakfast sandwich. It was so delicious and hit the right spot!! They also have tapatío in the middle counter in case you need spice like I do. My husband got their famous Spanish latte iced! He said it was on the sweeter side and was glad he also ordered a double shot of espresso on the side to toss into it. So keep in mind you may want to add shots if you like your drinks stronger. He also had the chorizo breakfast sandwich and it was very well made and didn't need any added spice. We will definitely be back here! Such a good hang out spot for large groups!! read more

Coffee nor the customer service was good at all. Parking was difficult as well. One and done.

Coffee is great, customer service is always subpar. Always has been since they opened. Really wish the owner would do something about that.

Super friendly staff in a beautiful antique building with plenty of space to set up to study or meet up with friends. It's located in a historic brick building with nooks and outlets ready to charge a laptop. There's also a large window where you can watch the roasting process happen. read more

Customer service is not the best. Went in there for the first time and told the cashier guy it Was my first time. He pointed to the flavors and charged my order. He didn't wait for payment to go through to offer me a receipt. He kept talking to someone else. Coffee was okay, not the best. read more

One of my favorite spots to get coffee and get work done. Tons of small tables and brick walls that absorb sound well. Love the ambiance. Parking is limited right in front the building, but there's a big public parking lot down the street. read more

First time here and less than a mile from the office. Located in a small old town quaint neighborhood of Placentia. There's very limited parking on the street but lots of parking in the back. Located in an old building, inside they have their own roasters with a wide open space for mobile working. Very very large open space by the counter. They have all year long coffees and tea menu and a seasonal menu. Small bite patties and sandwiches are available. Quick to order. The chorizo breakfast sandwich is really good with the chipotle sauce. Seasonal campfire latte is pretty tasty. Wish they had the maple latte on the menu. Maybe next year. I'll soon come again since I know it's close by. read more

I used to come here a lot more in the past, then I stopped, but I didn't remember why. Then my most recent visit jogged my memory. The atmosphere and ambiance of this coffee shop is great - I love the brick walls and the spaciousness. Definitely hipster vibes. It looks like it's built to be a place to work and have meetings, but very relaxed at the same time. They also have numerous outlets. On the day I went, I ordered a dirty matcha latte, which isn't on their menu but they said they can do it (just add an espresso shot to their matcha latte). I also ordered an avocado toast. To be honest it seemed like the workers didn't want to be there, because they were very robotic and didn't give any eye contact when I picked up my order. My dirty matcha was incredibly clumpy, which I can't fully blame them for as it was an off-menu item, but it just wasn't great. The avocado toast wasn't even on toasted bread. The wifi connection was horrible, to the point that I just wrote in my journal for an hour or so and left. This is a recurring issue and probably why I stopped coming before. All this being said, if I just came here to grab one of their menu drinks and hang out with a friend or a book, I'm sure that would be a fantastic experience. But as a place to work I'd probably go elsewhere, especially if you need good internet connection. Or use a good hotspot! read more

Stopped in for an amaretto latte and loved it--smooth, subtly sweet, and beautifully balanced. Easily one of the better flavored lattes I've had in the area. The space is open and welcoming, with plenty of seating and enough wall-facing tables for those who like to zone in. I visited on a Saturday, and the café had a cheerful buzz--families, kids laughing, and a general weekend energy that made the place feel alive. If you prefer quiet while working, a weekday visit might offer a calmer environment, but the weekend crowd gives the space a warm, community vibe. Perfect spot to sip something great and soak up the local energy. read more

Have been get a few times, each time ordering a different coffee. I've gotten the Bacon muffin sandwich each time which I really like. The English muffin is nice and crispy and it's not bread heavy. There's also a good amount of thin bacon on it. They have a fall special Apple spice latte, which I ordered and very much enjoyed! It's a homemade apple spice/purée type in the latte. I found it to taste a lot better than it sounds. The inside is very spacious with several different areas to sit. I usually bring my dogs so I have to sit outside with them. The issue with outside is that when it's hot out, the area for seating gets very hot with minimal shade. The last time we were there, they had these tilted umbrellas out and placed in their lightweight tables. Well, the tilted umbrella ended up leaning too much and knocked the table over. Fortunately didn't hurt my dogs. The other side of the street has much better shade in the late mornings. Now that it should be getting cooler, hopefully won't be an issue! But the outside seating alone prevents me from coming here more often. read more

Great space to work or study in. They have really good pastries, we had a couple cookies which were perfectly soft. Coffees are good and service is friendly. read more

I was really taken back by how beautiful the interior was. It was huge, but had gorgeous brick arches and walls that made this place timeless. There was also a lot of seating inside for people to either lounge or do work. The barista was incredibly knowledgeable about the drinks and answered all of our group's questions. Their drinks were so delicious and had such a unique flavor palette. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Was in the area for a tournament and trying to find a local coffee shop over the tons of chains. Saw this on Google Maps and was immediately drawn in seeing photos that they had their own coffee bean roaster. Went on a Friday late morning. There were lots of people in there working, but it's such a big space that it didn't feel crowded at all. They sell other local products aside from coffee, which was nice. The staff was very nice and personable. We ordered an Americano, flat white, and a london fog latte (which was on the countertop menu). The pastries looked delicious, but we had already eaten. Everyone loved their drinks. We were so glad we drove an extra couple minutes to get way better coffee! read more

This place in tucked in a small town. Possibly the best thing around there. The interior of this place is very spacious. The baristas behind the counter were pleasant in my first time experience there. The girl behind the counter was very helpful in providing me with options between the nitro cold brew and the standard cold brew. The barista who made my drinks handed them over to me with a genuine pride in the quality of drink she made. I don't think I would go back to the place for coffee because it would be going out of my way, but that doesn't mean anything about the service or the quality of a solid cold brew coffee. Check them out when you're in the area. read more

Tried a new thing on the menu today. Breakfast sandwich with bacon = fire. Sheesh, it really hit the spot. Also I will say, I've been disappointed with the cold brew market these days - I feel like there aren't very many good ones out there anymore. But not Golden State! Their CB is always solid. I also like their drip, which is very reasonably priced, and their cold foam. read more

We ate at El Farolito and wanted a little post- lunch caffeine fix and found GSCR. I'm a total coffee snob and very picky about coffee and this place was impressive! The space is massive and looks like a nice place for to hang out if you're want a nice place to have coffee and read. They had food too and it was very reasonably priced. I had a pour over of their freshly roasted Costa Rican coffee ($21 bag) and my wife had a campfire latte. They stop selling drip coffee at noon-ish, but it's between $3-4 and competitively priced. The baristas were top notch and they were meticulous about making the best drinks possible. Everything was measured and technique was on par. Both drinks were fantastic and my wife and I were so happy to visit. If we lived nearby, this would instantly become my local coffee shop and roaster for whole beans to grind and brew at home. Thanks!!! read more

I recently started working nearby so I need a coffee spot that is not Starbucks. Golden State Coffee Roasters is such a nice chill spot with delicious drinks and snacks.

Great coffee spot in the heart of old town Placentia! Beautiful layout on the inside, spacious and you can see where they roast their coffee. Coffee and food are great. Multiple options for drinks and food. They have teas and kombucha if you're not a coffee drinker. Lots of wonderful pastries to choose from. I like the fact that they can get you fresh roasted beans on the spot. You can always ask the workers for recommendations on what beans to use for whatever you're trying to brew. Highly recommend coming out here and trying it! read more

The place is cute. Avocado toast was delicious. Although drip coffee was not piping hot, still good coffee. Will come back to try other seasonal drinks for sure read more

The space is stunning. So spacious, literally such an ideal workspace. However the coffee sadly missed the mark. I have nothing good to say about the coffee. I got a flat white and for me there are no redeeming qualities. The after notes of the coffee reminded me of manure. I wish I were exaggerating but I gave some to my friend to try and he said it tasted like coffee that was leftover from the day before. This is upsetting because I really wanted to like the coffee here. I was visiting from LA and sifted through tons of coffee shops on Yelp, landing on this one. The pastry I got was yummy, but the coffee was not in the slightest. Service was fine. read more

Enjoyed this coffee place!!! First off this place is so cozy and has a great seating area! The coffee was great I enjoyed the Indonesia pour over! The pastrami breakfast sandwich was okay.

I ordered the chorizo and cheese croissant and pear tree latte. The "chorizo" was just pepperoni so I feel a little duped, but the croissant part of it was still very good. The pear tree latte didn't have any pear flavor, but again the coffee part of it was good. The inside atmosphere is nice, and the staff are very sweet. I think I'd give this place another chance, but expectations won't be as high. read more
