*Note: TDLR at the end of the review…read more Hey Bub! - Bourbon Banana Butterscotch (Hot): 10/10 Honestly, I'm no coffee fanatic or expert, but I thoroughly enjoyed this cup of coffee. I was recommended to order a 12oz for the most balance and MAYYN was the barista on point. The espresso and syrup blend super well and has the perfect hint of sweetness. Don't expect a crazy strong banana flavor. I feel like people expect strong fruit flavors in their drinks all the time. If you like coffee that's on the sweeter side, this may not be for you. I like my coffee strong and this feels like a perfect medium for when I don't want to be wired but need a cool start to my day. Not Vietnamese coffee strong, but not latte light if that makes sense. Service: 10/10 Barista/cashier was very very pleasant and friendly! Not sure if he's the owner or not, but he felt super genuine, which is so refreshing. It just felt like he appreciated coffee and was looking to help me find what I was looking for. The other barista was cleaning and also felt knowledgeable as she was helping guests figure out what they were looking for. They bring your coffee out to you. Not sure if they will be able to if it's super busy. Ambiance: 10/10 This place is literally perfect. Yes, heavy glazing this coffee spot haha. So much natural lighting, which I think is amazing. It's so nice to sit along the windowsill and be able to work with a view of the outside. Wasn't super busy when I came (Tuesday 1pm). There's light chatter and music was great in terms of choice and volume. Didn't need to wear my headphones at all. There's outlets here and there, so if it's busy, you might not be able to nab one. Street parking only, but it was easy to find. TDLR: Great study spot or place to catch up with a friend! Very mellow chill vibes. Your average coffee shop pricing, but worth it. Staff are friendly, music on the calmer side, volume of music is great, street parking, lots of natural lighting, clean, and mostly stool seating. Nothing but positive feedback from me. Make sure to stop by! Had a lovely start to my afternoon and definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots.

Cute little modern shop!…read more I ordered an iced vanilla latte + strawberry cold foam. I was disappointed :( the coffee flavor wasn't very present & they put very little foam ($2 extra) on both of ours! Each drink was about $10 which is crazy for a standard latte. My mom also got a hot hey bub & it tasted like milk. I've been to the other location & loved it, so maybe they are still working things out here!

I finally decided to try Ground Hideout Coffee and will definitely be back!…read more The aesthetic is super cute and cozy with lots of natural light, plants, and comfortable seating. I placed a pickup order and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I stopped by around 1 PM, which seemed to be one of their busiest times. The employees looked super busy, and they may have been a little understaffed, but everyone was still friendly, calm, and professional. My food was ready first and the drinks came shortly after. Both the food and coffee were a solid 9/10 -- everything tasted fresh and delicious. It was definitely worth the wait. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. It appears to be mostly metered street parking, and I got lucky because the meter I parked at still had time left on it. Overall, great coffee, great food, and a really cute atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! (p.s I got Cookie Butter Latte, Carrot Cake Latte, Sunrise Sandwich, Almond Butter Toast, Caprese Melt)

The staff was friendly and able to make some good recommendations. I got the sunrise sandwich and cookie butter latte. The cookie butter latte came with a biscoff cookie on top which made it look really cute. It was not overly sweet which I appreciated. The sunrise sandwich had a house made habanero jam which provided a good amount of heat. The arugula was a nice fresh ingredient addition atop the crispy bacon. If I lived in the area I would surely be back because this place was delicious!

The space just feels light and happy, and the drinks are on point. If ur not happy they are totally down to fix ur drink til you are. And they're delicious, I've had a few interesting creations including a strawberry latte that was made with love. The baristas here know what they're doing and they're slinging good coffee. Great place to meet up with a friend or catch up on work. It's a bit of a quieter space but a good neighborhood hang.

I wonder what # coffee shop this is for me…read more I picked out this spot because I saw via photos on Yelp that there is ample seating inside to do work. I ended up showing up around 12:40 and there were some people but not a whole lot. I was still able to fit me and my life at the table with my coffee. I landed on ordering the pistachio latte. I went on a whim with this because I'm such a Spanish latte girlypop. Ironicallly they're known for their Spanish latte, but I ordered the pistachio latte instead. We were feeling... experimental. And I'm so happy I did! I loved this coffee so much. I don't know what bean they use but it is amazing. It's so rich and smooth. The pistachio nut is nutty and more a background singer. Not overly sweet at all. It is definitely in one of my top coffees for sure. I definitely plan on coming back to this coffee shop for both the space and quality of coffee. Also I need to try the Spanish latte, duh. The only sad part was my friend ordered a blueberry donut & she said it tasted store bought and not good. I can't comment on that because I did not try it but I figured I would add it in here. There have a private room you can book as well! I didn't take a photo of it unfortunately but it's to the left of where the cashier is. Parking is on the street & they have two entrances. WiFi is available and I think there's 2 or 3 restrooms I don't remember lol

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

Ordered and it didn't take long at all to get it. Did they even add espresso? Who knows because the latte was weak. It barely had any hint of coffee. I asked if the latte was sweet and they said it wasn't. After the first sip I could just taste all sweetness no espresso. Recreational coffee do you guys add espresso to the lattes? Maybe I should have ordered something else not sure.

My go-to drink is the Instigator--an iced espresso shaken with maple sugar, brown sugar, and just a touch of your milk of choice. It's perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Another favorite is the Friends with Benefits--an iced double espresso shaken with house-made vanilla and caramel, topped with your choice of milk and finished with raw cane sugar. It's smooth, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or hanging out for a bit, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and an awesome addition to Belmont Shore!

They genuinely seemed to actually enjoy their job and you can feel it. The second most exciting thing about the opening is that they finally have strawberry Matcha even though it's a summer special I have been waiting for a strawberry Matcha to drop for what feels like decades (dramatic). It's absolutely delicious. I've tried it with and without the vanilla foam and honestly, I prefer without. I paired my first one with a mango bun and my second one with an almond croissant, both warmed up, of course, and both delicious. There's ample seating both inside and out, but obviously you know people bring their laptops and work from the café so I'm sure it will get packed on the weekends. Overall, can't wait to see more of what they do in this space!

Everytime I stop yelping, there's always one crazily amazing spot that brings me crawling back…read more Onda Coffee is hidden amongst the residential area just shy of downtown LB along with an aisle of boba shops and hole in the wall, small kitchens including a few mexican food booths. I originally went to Onda for coffee as their matcha was not shown well online prior. When my friends and I arrived we were happily met with a ton of matcha options and even croffles with multiple dip choices (loved the banana and tiramisu). The matcha is the perfect sweetness by itself and creamy even with oatmilk. I personally love the Yogurt Matcha which was the perfect tangyness. My friends loved the Coconut Cloud Matcha, and Jasmine Coconut Cloud Matcha. We went back the next day as my friends loved was visiting and we tried the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte and Caramel Rock Latte. Can confirm that the coffee is just as creamy as the matcha, especially with the cheese foam. This is a short 15-20 minute walk from downtown Pine and near where I reside and can say this will become one of my regularly visited places.
