    My mango matcha drink was good but the girl working did not ask me for sweetness level, I forgot to say anything so I guess I GOT 100% And it literally tasted like 10000% sugar lmao I LIKE SWEET BUT IT WAS WAY TOO MUCH. STILL, I Appreciate the taste and the potency ! Next time I'll for sure ask for 25% here. (If possible) I like the decor, modern style Cafe vibe . Very clean and there was a photo station too! the mallow cookie was 8/10 !!! Really fresh and tasty, with good slightly chewy texture, tender marshmallow, Their baked goods honestly all looked great!

    Mango matcha, Black sesame latte, Grape ade
    Sam B.

    #181 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Haru is a small coffeeshop that recently opened in Buena Park. Their specialized menu consists of several unique and creative drinks, so it took me a moment to narrow down my choices. I ultimately went with their Black sesame latte and Green grape ade. The black sesame latte is one of their more popular drinks with it's rich, roasted, and slightly sweet flavor profile. I loved how creamy the nutty drink was after mixing. Nevertheless, as impressive as the latte was, the real winner for me was the green grape ade. The drink was a refreshing bubbly drink, both crisp and sweet. I also enjoyed the pastries I purchased, especially the Lotus marshmallow cookie. All in all, Haru was a fantastic find! ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

    We got the biscoff latte, sesame oat latte, and the chocolate croissant. I'm usually a black sesame latte person, but I thought the biscoff latte was better in this case! The drinks were pretty sweet but it didn't detract from the flavor. There's minimal seating at the cafe (pretty small location), but I went when it wasn't busy so it was easy to find a seat.

    I had the mango matcha. This is one of the places where the mango taste artificial or not fresh. Staff was friendly. Nice little cafe to hang

    Very cute modern cafe! Biscoff Latte- Good. The sweetness is adjustable, so you can keep that coffee kick if you prefer things a bit more bitter Black Sesame Oat Latte- Nutty and creamy yet still has the coffee flavor Strawberry Matcha Latte- light matcha flavor, but delicious when mixed with the strawberry Lemon Bar: yum Pretzel Croissant Sandwich: Ours came out a little too toasted (extra crispy!), but the flavor was still good The staff were very friendly and helpful, making the whole experience pleasant. Definitely returning to try other drinks when in the area!

    I'm so glad I discovered Cafe Haru recently. Parking is easy and the inside spanking clean and beautifully decorated. I had my drink orders placed online ahead of time and it was available upon arrival. I loved every sip of what I had ordered!!! The Biscoff latte and the caramel milk tea were delicious and refreshing. Both items weren't too sweet, and I didn't feel like all I had was 5 sips and rest of it ice. Phew! So many artisanal coffee shop type places do that nowadays so it was nice to see they have ice level as an option. I'm looking forward to returning again in the future!

    We stopped by for some drinks and dessert the other day. There is a lot of parking available in the shopping center they are located in. The café itself is small and charming. We got a few drinks. The black sesame oat latte was rich and dark. The apple peach ice tea was cool and refreshing. The apple and peach notes in the back of the tea were just right. Subtlety sweet and perfect for sipping. The green grape sparkingling ade was bubbly, sweet and refreshing. I couldn't stop drinking it. They also have a good assortment of pastries. We got a pecan bar that was delicious. The bar is full of pecans and it is not very sweet. Just perfect. We also got a strawberry and cream croissant. The strawberries and cream are subtlety sweet. The croissant itself is light, flakey and buttery. So good. Plus, the staff is super friendly and helpful.

    I wouldn't have known this coffee joint without Bonnie S. , special thanks! It's such a hidden gem, cute shop located in the same plaza as Northgate Market. Enjoyed the black sesame oat milk latte so much, I almost wanted a second. Usually the black sesame flavor would be super strong where you are unable to taste the coffee, but this was very well balanced. The coffee was there and so was the black sesame. I'm usually a oat milk type of gal, and they were on the spot for me. Service - Very friendly staff. Explains each drink to you as you order. Food - Didn't get to try the pastries, but they do have a few to grab a bite. Seats - There are a few seats inside to sit and study. There is free wifi and outlets for laptops if needed.

    I love their Biscoff Latte, and I didn't have to just the sweetness level because it's just right! Came here on a weekday around lunch hours and the place is packed, but there was no wait so my drink came out pretty fast and it was only one person working as well. They were pretty fast making the drink. I love the decorations, sanitary or design inside the store. Limited parking in the plaza, but it was a quiet one

    Checked out Haru recently and overall had a nice experience. It seems like a new coffee spot and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. I ordered the matcha latte and it was perfect to my taste. It wasn't too sweet at all, and I ordered it as is with no adjustments. If you prefer sweeter drinks, I would recommend adding extra sweetener. My cousin got the black sesame latte, which was ordered unsweetened. It wasn't really for me since it had a very strong coffee flavor and the sesame was pretty subtle, but my cousin really enjoyed it. If you like your coffee not sweet and more on the bold side, I would recommend that drink. They also sell the viral Dubai chocolate cookie, which I had to try. I would rate it a 6/10. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out to me and I felt like the chocolate overpowered the pistachio to the point where I could barely taste it. Maybe it's just overhyped, but I had higher expectations. I wouldn't buy it again, though it's fine to try once if you're curious. Service was nice and fast, which I appreciated. The space itself is very small and the tables are close together, so I wouldn't recommend this spot for studying or working. It's more of a place to catch up and chat with a friend or two. Overall, a cute coffee spot!

    There is a reason this place has a high rating! I tried their jasmine peach iced tea and it was sooooooooo good. I want to come back everyday for it honestly. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Good amount of seating for a quick coffee date or work session. Bright and airy. I will happily support Haru and their success- can't wait to come back for a bite to eat!

    Came here while I was visiting SoCal and I thought it was okayyy. The staff didn't greet us they just stared at us when we entered and stood by the register. I said hello and he nodded at me. I asked what their most popular drinks were. We ordered the sesame latte and the einspanner. They were smooth drinks but felt okkkayy. The aesthetic inside is clean and benches/places to sit. Overall, drinks were alright.

    I got to go here the day before they closed. They're changing management but apparently keeping the…read moresame workers (thank God -- everyone there is v nice and good people.) I'm ngl I'm pretty bummed out about that. My boyfriend and I were basically regulars here. I'm glad I got to see this place one last time before they temporarily closed. I'm hoping things don't change too much but hey, I'm up for trying whatever the plan may be for this place. We ordered a Citrus Summer and a Yuzu Tonic. As always, it did NOT disappoint. That Citrus Summer was probably the best I've had haha The place is always calm, quiet, and welcoming. It's a great spot to relax and get a drink at. I can't wait to see what the new ownership has in store for this place. For now, we will patiently wait for its return :) As for the previous owners, thank you for creating a great place to stop at for drinks, desserts, and food. What a great place this has been for my boyfriend and I to come to. We're not really known to be regulars anywhere but what a joy it was to wake up early and stop by here at Teaish. Thank you for the lovely memories, Teaish! :)

    Absolutely Fire Coffee & Desserts!…read more I ordered DoorDash from TEAISH & Coffee and it was I had the Einspänner latte with oat milk -- rich, smooth, strong, and incredibly flavorful. Perfect balance and definitely not weak. For dessert, I tried the Kouign-Amann lemon, and wow... perfectly sweet, buttery, and fresh. Such a great pairing with the coffee. Everything arrived in great condition, fast delivery, and tasted amazing. They have so many coffee varieties, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend this spot for any coffee lover. Five stars all day!

    I didn't think to grab their names, but the two ladies working at the cafe today on December 20th,…read more2025 for the night shift absolutely made my first visit to this place the best experience ever!! From recommending other places in the source to visit for my first time, to making small talk about the area in general and being friendly as my matcha was made, the two ladies were absolute sweethearts the whole time!! I also used to be a server in the food industry, as well as a manager in the food industry for over 10 years... so coming from a pervious server such as myself, I very much appreciated the amazing service!! Thank you so much ladies!!

    My wife heard great things about Don Melt so she stopped to grab some ice cream to give it a shot…read more First off, it's located at the end of the mall under the stairs so it took us a while to locate it. Once we arrived, there was plenty of chairs and seating and the place looked pretty cool. They also had a pretty extensive menu which consisted of coffee, tea, lattes, Korean drinks, smoothies, sparkling aids and of course, ice cream. I don't like ice cream but I was actually pretty excited for her to try it. Cool name, cool spot, I'm willing to bet something on it, it's about to be fire! After waiting a while I noticed she was still at the front, I wasn't sure if she was looking at the menu or what. So I go to the front and no one is in sight, I see the bell and I ring it and a young girl comes to help. Make sure you ring the bell smh. Finally after the long wait, and a small line formed behind us, she finally gets her ice cream on a cone. I see her walking towards me happy and then she takes a bite and everything goes out the window. She hated everything about the ice cream. It wasn't what she thought, she didn't like the texture, the flavor or anything about it. She had me taste it and she was right, it tasted like ice without the cream and kind of bland. It is exactly what it is marketed as, low fat, low calorie, low sugar, and low carbs so I have no clue what she thought she was getting. It clearly said, plant based lol. I told her and she said she at least wanted it to taste creamy and she was right, it was far from creamy but Don Melt didn't do anything wrong lol. Anyway, she didn't want to be mean so she held on to it until we got a few stores down and tossed it. Then we went on a hunt to find her ice cream smh. Now, from my experience, it wasn't bad and I understand what they are doing. It's a healthy ice cream that isn't creamy and it's not something I would eat but I get the concept. It's for healthy eaters wanting to fill a craving, which isn't for everyone and I think she was being a little emotional about wanting her ice cream. I personally wouldn't go back for the ice cream but I'd be willing to try something else off of their menu. I can see why this is pretty popular among healthy eaters. OOO 3 out of 5 Afros
