Stopped in really for a pick me up. My cold brew was just right. The foam wasn't too sweet and the cocoa powder on top was a nice touch. Oh! I also noticed they totally remixed the aesthetic. And vibes were vibing! They swapped out the industrial look for a much more warm and organic look. From the plants to the artwork, this look definitely gives cozy. I just wish the seating was more comfortable. Those plywood benches are brutal. Other than that, they make good coffee so check it out if you haven't already! read more

It truly pains me to write this review. This used to be my go-to place to get my caffeine fix. I would come here at least three times a week. It was so much that we would reach free drink status pretty quickly. I would grab an Ube matcha with oat milk for me and a cold brew latte with a shot of espresso and oat milk for my partner. We both would also order the waffles. It was a great little breakfast on the go. And service was top notch--pleasant and quick. The quality of the drinks was consistently great! Plus ordering it all online made it super convenient. Lately, there appears to be a shift at Homeboy Coffee. My drinks have had issues with them (i.e., no coconut syrup, watered down, wrong milk, less espresso shot than previously). Now, the waffle is not available for purchasing through their online ordering system despite them available in the store. Overall, Homeboys is okay. It isn't what it used to be which is sad especially because i loved it...especially their Ube matcha latte and waffles. I hope this is a temporary shift and that the OG Homeboy comes back. read more

Stopped by Homeboy Coffee and had a pleasant visit! Ordered the cascara lemonade and chai latte -- both were pretty good. The cascara lemonade was a unique flavor, kind of tart with a little sweetness to it, definitely something different. The chai latte was more classic but done well -- just the right amount of sweetness, nothing overdone. Staff was friendly and the space itself is cute and cozy. Felt like a great spot to get some work or studying done. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Stop by if you're in the area! read more

It's a really big pet peeve of mine to go to a coffee shop and order less ice and then they give me significantly less drink. This is my first time at homeboy coffee. I ordered a batch brew but they told me they stopped serving it at 11 AM, so I ordered an Americano with easy ice instead. Nobody told me a third of the drink would be missing. Are they really losing much money on me to just fill the plain coffee? There's not even milk in my coffee so it's not like they're using many resources. The drink was seriously only 2/3 of the way full if not slightly less (see pics) and that just doesn't sit right with me. Honestly, I wasn't cheap either, considering I ordered the most basic coffee they had. I won't be coming back here. Too bad! read more

Got to visit this cafe on a Sunday afternoon and I loved my experience here! Plaza has plenty of parking, interior has a lot of seating, and the music playing was top tier. My friend and I found ourselves Shazamming almost every song that played haha I decided to try something new and get the Homeboy latte and it was delicious. I could barely taste the cayenne though. The ube matcha was also very tasty. Definitely coming again! read more

There was a bit of a line when we got there, but it didn't take too long for us to place our order. We tried their cold brew latte and hojicha latte, both were very good and refreshing. I liked how the hojicha was not too sweet, but you were still able to get that roasted taste/flavor to it. Overall, prices are decent, credit cards are accepted and there's plenty of parking read more

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review Corn Matcha: 5.5/10 I've had way way better. Corn and the matcha doesn't pack a punch. I personally would've liked a stronger corn flavor. The ice to drink ratio is great! Extra half point for it looking aesthetically pleasing, but other than that, I wouldn't order it again. Service: 8/10 Everyone is super nice and easy to talk to! Ordering was easy and drink came out in 5-10mins, and they were quite busy when I walked in. Ambiance: 8/10 It's definitely a small space, but they make it work! I think the interior looks great and is very functional in terms of walking room. There's a really good balance of natural and artificial lighting. Nothing is overwhelming or super intense. Music was a bit loud for me personally. There are outlets here and there and the restroom was pretty clean. Parking lot is medium sized, and I had no issues finding a spot. There's indoor and shaded outdoor seating. Pretty good study spot overall. TDLR: Good study spot for individuals or pairs. Corn matcha is super mid. Clean restrooms, good lighting, easy parking, but music can be a bit loud. Rated 4 stars because of the drink. Willing to come back if a friend wanted to go, but wouldn't come back by myself. read more

With the myriad of coffee shops, both old and new, in Cerritos/Artesia area, Homeboy Coffee stands as a solid contender. The drinks stay fresh and trendy and the ambiance is very nice. It's clean, spacious, and well-lit. The staff was friendly and patient with recommendations during my first visit there. So far, Ive had the Sweet Corn Cream Latte and Sweet Corn Cream Matcha and they were both delicious! I would say their corn cream was creamier and tastier than the one that Bopo offered. I can't wait to try their other menu items! Homeboy is usually pretty busy but the I've never had to wait too long of a line, so I assume many of the folks in the shop were studying or just hanging out. And the parking was small but usually not too hard to find a spot. read more

The Homeboy latté: smoothest coffee I've ever had! STRONG without that bitter aftertaste that gives you the impression that someone threw in some cigarette ash in your brew. Perfect til the very last drop! So smooth that I chugged it and had a mini panic attack.The cream foam with whatever stuff they sprinkled on top was so satisfying. Loved the customer service. Loved the coffee. Great pastries. COOL atmosphere. read more

LOVE this place. My friends recommended and I was near by so tried it. I couldn't decide one drink so I got two:Cream Top and Ube Matcha. I also got Waffle and warm up. I started drinking Cream top and oh boy so yum. I also tried waffle but it was a bit too tough by warm up and taste ok but it's not right texture. I was there around 2p and it was filled people but no line for cashier. I took drinks to go anyway. I wanna go back there. Parking was plenty but filled. read more

It's a small tucked in the corner k-coffee shop. I looove azn corn or sweet potato lattes. Got my corn fix here and was not disappointed. It is on the smaller side so seating gets filled up quickly and half the folk bring laptops. There's outdoor patio seating. Parking plaza seems like there should be enough spots for parking. The corn latte was thick foam and delish. Haven't tried anything else yet but I see it's super popular and busy all the time which should be an indication of it being that good. read more

Great coffee, calm ambiance with simple aesthetic. Went here on Friday afternoon, and the customer was coming in and out non-stop. A lot of people bring their laptops since there are electrical plugs at every single table! My cousin recommended the Sweet Cream Corn latte, and it was excellent! A combination of Cheetos and a latte. I asked for a half-sweet, and it is still sweet but not too sweet. They are in a plaza with a private parking lot. read more

Loved the ambience and drinks. I saw a lot of people inside studying or hanging out. The drinks were refreshing! I enjoyed the decaf option, though would probably try to do half sweet next time. The double chocolate cookie was a nice plus also. The baristas were super helpful with getting our drinks and were quick with the turnover! read more

Very aesthetic, bustling cafe on a Sunday afternoon. My husband and I dropped by here because he was really feeling coffee, haha. We got the homeboy cold brew latte and a hot homeboy latte. Both drinks were execellent! Great coffee flavor, with barely any bitterness detected. I know this is blasphemy, but I typically like sugary lattes over ones where the coffee flavor is more pronounced mainly because there's some leftover bitterness that I do not enjoy. However, I really liked the coffee here. I could taste the distinctive coffee flavor of both drinks without that bitterness I dislike. Husband also really liked both drinks and found them really smooth. The interior is super clean, and there's a lot of seating and a tad bit crowded, but I really liked the atmosphere of this place. There's a medium amount of parking as it's a part of a mid sized plaza and we had no issues grabbing a spot. Could totally see it being a bit of a struggle on maybe a Saturday morning or something though? That side, great coffee spot! Well definitely be back! They have some great looking pastries that I want to try on my next visit. read more

I got the sweet corn cream latte (less sweet) and it's the best corn latte I've tried in oc! The corn flavor is super strong without overpowering the coffee and the cream top gives the drink a nice smooth texture. They have a good amount of seating indoors but it's not super comfortable and a few tables outdoors. There's always people studying here and there may be a bit of a wait during weekends or mornings. read more

I walked over here for lunch and was greeted by super friendly staff who were quick with my order. Since it was my first time visiting, they recommended the matcha latte, so that was what I ordered. The cafe had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Because this spot is a bit farther from home, I had higher expectations, but unfortunately the matcha latte was very watered down and tasted mostly like vanilla syrup. There was little to no presence of matcha. Even though the drink was not the best, the service was good. read more

There was a good amount of people inside and it wasn't very loud, so it would be a great spot to study! read more

I came in to try a new coffee place last week. I had a cinnamon flavored latte that was recommended to me by the young man at the register. I am very picky about coffee, and I try not to do lattes because they tend to be too sweet, and I don't get the real taste for the coffee. I had the one that was recommended, and it was perfect! Not too sweet, and you can taste the coffee and other flavors. The place is clean and modern. I am excited to bring my husband to check it out. He loves coffee too. I also like that there are many spaces for sitting and enjoying your coffee. I am excited to return, and next time I will take a photo and remember the name of the coffee I ordered. read more

Stopped by Homeboy Coffee and was really impressed. The interior has a contemporary, clean design with plenty of seating inside, which makes it a comfortable spot to relax for a bit without feeling crowded. I ordered the yuzu matcha tonic, and it was delicious -- bright, refreshing, and a nice change from the usual coffee or matcha drinks. Definitely something I would order again. I am already planning to come back to try more of their menu. Service was quick, friendly, and not pushy at all, even when they asked if I wanted to join their membership points program. Overall, a great place for unique drinks, lots of space to sit, and a modern vibe. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

Overall very cute cafe with a solid menu (especially the seasonal drinks!). I just stopped by to pick up drinks but I saw a lot of people sitting there working so it seems like a good study spot too. Service was great and we probably only waited maybe 5-10 minutes for our drinks Homeboy latte with cream top: 5/5 not sure how it is without the cream top, but I really enjoyed this drink and thought it was a good amount of sweet without being overwhelming I also tried the double pumpkin spice latte which was super good and perfect to satisfy a fall craving read more

Ok finally gave this place a second chance because everyone keeps raving about it. I'm glad I did because they have good coffee! I don't know if that was because they just opened the first time we went but this time around, so much better! The homeboy latte I enjoyed and having oatmilk in it is a huge plus for me! Hubs enjoyed his vanilla latte. We definitely enjoy their roast. Their ube matcha hubs also tried and he said it's pretty good but he preferred their coffee. Service is ok. Last time we went it was a bit slow for all the servers since I've seen coffee shops get drinks out faster but it's not awful. The place is clean and a good amount of people were there for a Sunday afternoon. Parking is decent outside too but it does share it with a few businesses and I'm not sure if people at the other plaza where a kbbq spot is park in their parking lot so that could be a bummer. Anyway, will def be back! read more

Came here for the first time. I ordered the matcha with a spritzer and my friend ordered a matcha latte. When we both got our order and tried it, we both weren't sold on the taste of what we ordered. She felt her matcha latte was too sweet and I felt my matcher with the spritzer was too tangy. We each took a sip of the other's drink and decided we like the other's so we traded. Haha. The match quality was ok. I wouldn't say it was the best, and I've had way better in Japan. The place was super busy and seeing so many customers appeared to be the spot to be at. There was some appropriate seating but at the time we went, you had to really wait for someone to leave and quite loud as one would expect it to be. Not sure if I would come back again. read more

Absolutely love this place! Tried two drinks, their Homeboy Coffee and the Ube Matcha Latte (both half sweet) and both were amazing. The Homeboy Latte was so flavorful (I'm not even sure what's in it, but I'd honestly come all the way back to Artesia just for this). The Ube Matcha Latte was also incredible. You can really taste both the ube and the grassy matcha. The flavors were strong, balanced, and not altered by their sweetner. The service was great also! They helped adjust my drink to be less sweet and explained the ingredients (though I totally forgot what they said ). There's free parking, which was super easy, and lots of seating both inside and outside, perfect for studying or hanging out. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots! read more

Found a nice coffee shop for this Homeboy. It's owned by some Homeboy. And it's called Homeboy. Located in Artesia, California. After 2 visits, I decided it was time to write about this. My first visit here... it was very busy on a Sunday. I ordered an Ice Vanilla Latte. From my experience, I waited awhile since it was so busy. Yes, everyone love to come here for coffee. I finally got the drink and it's pretty good. Not too bad. I can see why everyone love it. Then I came back earlier today for a different latte. This time I opted for one of their signature drink........ Homeboy Cold Brew Latte. Who doesn't love cold brew? It's the best kind of coffee you can get. I mean really, Homeboy got the best cold brew in town. I really love their cold brew here. It's soooo good. Oh, and it was made by some Homegirl. This is the spot to get your latte fix in this town. And don't mind the parking, it usually full. 5 stars. read more

Since I was trying this spot for the first time, I decided to go with the Homeboy Latte. I was able to sub the whole milk for almond milk which I always appreciate! The guy who helped me was nice and friendly. The latte was very good and it was just perfectly sweet enough! So not bitter tasting, nor too sweet! I'd definitely come back for it again, but I'm looking forward to trying more on their menu. The inside is very clean and spacious with plenty of seating. It's located in a plaza with its own parking, but I must note around the time I went it was very busy and parking was difficult to find & spaces were a little tight- but just something to keep in mind! read more

There was a full cafe, plenty of people sitting enjoying their coffee and some waiting for theirs. There was plenty of seating inside and outside the cafe.

The parking lot on a Saturday felt like a demolition derby waiting to happen. The line and wait to get the drinks on Saturday felt like we were making a mistake. Ultimately, the hype was real. Homeboy really makes good coffee. Service was friendly but it took forever, simply because of the MASSIVE amount of drinks they have to churn out. They seem to have a pretty solid system in place to try and make sure everyone's drink is made as quickly and seamlessly as possible (a person prepping, a person on the machines, a person pouring and finishing). And it was one of the best iced Spanish lattes ever. Next time, I gotta try one of the cream tops because they looked bomb. Just, maybe not on a weekend. read more

Walked in here on a Sunday and it was already quite full! Lots of people here are studying, chatting, reading a book, etc. Great coffee shop with drinks and vibes! Parking is easy since it's in a not-so-busy parking lot. I ordered a Cream Top and an Americano, it was pretty solid! Cream top itself was pretty good, the coffee was a lot bitter than expected, but mixing the cream top together, it matched it better with the sweetness. On a side note, I think someone unhooked my labubu from my backpack here... be careful!! read more

Hey Homeboy, check out Homeboy Coffee and get your coffee fix here! My favorite coffee drink is the iced Homeboy Latte which has the sweetness of maple syrup and is mixed well with the milk and coffee for that sweet cup of coffee in the morning. I also like the Cream Top which is a bolder flavor and is great for not being too sweet or overly flavorful, a great tasting cup of coffee. The staff are fast and efficient, they are people you can trust to make your coffee taste good, and are like homies aka Homeboys. So go to Homeboy Coffee to get a great tasting coffee and let your taste buds feel at home! read more

Homeboy Coffee - Seasonal menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Artesia, California

Kinda funny but the logo got me confused with Thank You Coffee in Chinatown (IYKYK). All the reviews seemed to be right that the place was so busy on weekend so expect pretty loud space. Just stopped by to chill while enjoying my sip, I didn't mind the noise at all and still enjoyed the ambiance. They're popular for anything cream top but I could see a ton of people went for their house latte or matcha as the base, and not a few went for their ube matcha. I took the different path from the crowd this time, going for their seasonal Black Cream Earl Grey Milk Tea. The drink itself might be offered elsewhere, but I found Black Tea foam peculiar. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan and I might should've gone with the majority for either Ube Matcha or Homeboy Cold Brew Latte. The tea was kinda subtle for my liking and the overall sweetness came more from the foam. Don't get me wrong, it tasted decent, but I guess I might have set too high expectations. read more

Loved the Homeboy Latte (oat milk, maple, and cayenne) although I didn't taste any of the cayenne. I was hoping for a kick! I came by and set up shop to do some journaling, and Homeboy was well equipped for people to hang around for awhile. They have good WiFi, plenty of outlets, and it's in a strip mall with free parking. The biggest downside was the girl who was calling out names for people's orders... the vibes were calm with easy listening music and the customers weren't too loud. HOWEVER, this barista was calling out peoples names like she was shouting in the void, or looking for a lost dog at an EDM concert. It was insanely loud and annoying, especially in a small, otherwise chill space. Trust me, people are listening for their names! I'm very glad I stumbled into Homeboy, and would definitely swing by again to try their matcha drinks. read more
