2024 holiday hours ;)
Marissa S.

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.

Americano easy ice. 1/3 of the drink was missing since I said less ice :(

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!

Cascara Lemonade, Chai Latte
Danica

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!

Homeboy latte and ube matcha latte

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!

Corn Matcha

*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.

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.

Homeboy latte.  Don't the smoothness fool you. Drink it slow.
Claudia S.

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.

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.

Corn latte
Eunice P.

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.

Now this is great coffee! Got their Spanish Latte and the foam was delicious. It's sweet but not overwhelming as most coffee shops tend to be. I am so excited to be back and try more items. My husband says service was good.

Sweet Corn Cream Latte
Mieke C.

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.

Outside

Open early on Sunday morning, friendly service, large interior with plenty of seating, I tried the Cream Top which sounded great, with Sweet Cream, Short Americano, and Hazelnut, which was okay but nothing spectacular.

Decaf espresso w/ whole milk and Sweet corn foam

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!

See all
