Junbi never misses! I tried the strawberry foam matcha and instead did my usual strawberry matcha latte with the strawberry puree. Both shine on their own, the strawberry foam makes the matcha much creamier and lighter in color. The puree has a stronger strawberry flavor but still can taste the matcha, it doesn't lighten up as much as the foam. Both tasty, it all depends on preference! Also did the drive up option this time around! Didn't seem too busy or loud inside. Staff is always kind and efficient, love coming here.

Finally got to try Junbi and wow talk about convenience of having a coffee/matcha spot next to a play area.. great place for a play date where parents can get their caffeine fix and kiddos can roam and play Love that they have a big variety menu and even have soft serve! Definitely my kind of jam.. staff here are all very nice.. got to try the new cold foam series and tried the strawberry cold foam matcha.. I have to say, it's just ok, perhaps it a new item.. I might opt for the strawberry matcha latte next time. Also got to try the dirty matcha which comes with 2 espresso shots definitely much needed. Is it the best matcha? So hard especially living in OC where the competition is high and has so many other good options but definitely a top spot for all around for space, convenience and variety Highly recommend

Stumbled into Junbi a few minutes before their 9pm closing like the chaotic caffeine goblins we are, and wow, what a glow-up!! The place is spotless and there's a self-order kiosk so you can pretend you're tech-savvy while aggressively craving matcha. Obviously we upgraded to ceremonial grade matcha because once you've tasted the fancy grass, there's no returning to peasant powder!! Ordered a classic matcha latte and a strawberry cold foam matcha latte, both living their best, bougie lives. And that first sip? Absolute flavor fireworks!!! Great spot for delicious ceremonial-grade matcha!!

This spot is located on a neighborhood street. It's really nice because they have a big outdoor area with tables, tents, and restaurants and shops. Parking is limited and so we had to park in the neighborhood and walk over. I had a voucher for a buy two get one free drink. I'm caffeine sensitive so I appreciate they had separate menu for non-caffeine! I ordered the guava refresher and it was definitely refreshing! I did get to try their matcha and it's delicious. They also have soft serve and rice balls. There's a kiosk you can order from or you can order from the register.

Cold guava refresher with boba!

Junbi is a tea house located within the Cottage Industries business park, known for its high-quality matcha drinks, lattes, and soft-serve ice cream! They also offer a variety of matcha-based beverages, including hot and cold options, and a unique selection of branded merch! We accidentally stumbled upon this hidden gem while dining at Smoke Queen Barbecue next door. I'm not a big fan of teas or matcha, so I was pleased to find a guava refresher on the menu (love all things guava). As I expected, it was extremely delicious and refreshing. My wife ordered the iced hojicha latte (has a toasty, nutty, and earthy flavor). Super creamy and flavorful. Service was quick! Staff made some really good recommendations- guava refresher with boba! The overall vibe was welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully designed. The outdoor patio was the perfect spot to chill and relax with the family. We even found a giant teepee which was unique and spacious to hangout with friends and family! We will definitely be back!

Mango refresher

A nice little spot nestled in the Cottage Industries in Garden Grove. Jumbo had nice ambiance and friendly staff. I had the mango refresher and it was pretty good. Nothing amazing or mind blowing and I think it was overpriced, but a decent spot to check out if you're hanging out in the Cottage Industries seating areas.

Soft serve
Justin N.

Great and quick service, and I absolutely LOVE the strawberry matcha here. We were a bit hungry, so we also had a salmon rice onigiri - not big enough to share but definitely had great flavor to hold us over. The location might be a little hard to park, but once you're in it's easy to work/study here. Also the soft serve was very creamy and delicious, highly recommend to try out if you're in the area!

Cold Guava Matcha Cold Brew

9/10 for this trip! Lavender Blueberry matcha was my absolute favorite. Currently a seasonal drink but hopefully I can get it again before it's gone! Drinks are customizable; I think that the "normal" recipes are not overly sweet which is a plus for me and if you decide on a flavored beverage option they all complement the matcha very well. I love matcha soft serve too, and the vanilla matcha swirl is definitely best of both worlds with an optional topping to get as well. It will melt fast so enjoy it to the fullest! (Opinion : if you have a sensitive palette when it comes to food/desserts this specific soft serve combo, although incredibly delicious, may give off a slight aftertaste). Quality of matcha is incomparable. First came here from a yelp event and continued to visit with all friends and family because this is genuinely an amazing spot for all things matcha. Incredible variety of flavors for matcha, tea and other drinks. More so they have foodie and treat options to choose from too. I've enjoyed a rice ball from time to time :) Service has been excellent each time I come here, plus kiosk makes ordering easier when it's a little busier here. Aesthetic is very calming and joyful- great spot where everyone from friends and families of all ages can enjoy!

Yum yum yum! So happy Junbi opened here in Cottage Industries because the outside play area was always amazing but we needed a place for good drinks, desserts and snacks for both adults and kids. And now we can find all of that here! Service is always on-point - very friendly and attentive to the customers - and the aesthetics of the store is clean, bright and modern. Drinks: I love their guava matcha cold brew. This is my go-to and it is always delicious! I get with less ice and less sweet and I love it. Soft serve: - We get the vanilla soft serve for my son. It's very creamy and thick - a wonderful consistency! It comes with a topping and dusting so we get the granola and cocoa. - For adults, their matcha soft serve is so good! You can taste the quality of the matcha. Today we tried the Mango Mission matcha and I love that it's mango puree on it (not syrup) and the flavor goes so well together. It does melt super fast and drip all over the place so be ready to eat it right away when it's ready. Food: - Rice ball flight - I'm so thankful they have kid-friendly food here so I know we can go to Cottage Industries to play anytime and not worry about my son getting hungry. He loves salmon rice balls so this is perfect for us. It is filling enough when he's hungry from running around and I feel good about the nutrition he gets from salmon. I tried the mentaiko rice ball today in our flight and it's so good (my personal favorite)! They wrap the rice in plastic so the seaweed doesn't get soggy until you're ready to eat. - Dubai chewy cookie. I was trying to resist since they aren't cheap ($9 each) but finally caved since they look so delicious! Totally did not disappoint. So soft and chewy on the outside and crunchy inside. They are made in-house fresh daily - must try at least once!

Junbi Matcha & Tea is a chain of cafes specializing in matcha drinks. The name means "preparation" in Japanese. The brand is based in California. This store is located in the Cottage Industries business incubator park. It offers coffee and tea drinks, as well as soft serve ice cream creations. I stepped into this shop after lunch at Smoke Queen. I asked the lady behind the counter if she could recommend something refreshing and palate cleansing. She helpful in making a couple of recommendations. Per signage, this store recently opened. It is clean and tidy. The staff was helpful. I imagine this a good shop for beverages or snacks if visiting the park and retailers here.

I absolutely love Junbi. It has become a family tradition to visit once a month. The drinks are high quality, they take their time in preparation and they taste amazing. I have tried both their Matcha Latte, and the Hojicha Latte. My kids favorite is their soft serve ice cream! Another huge plus of Junbi is that its right in the Cottage Industries that has a huge play area for the kids including a sand pit, a life sized trolley, all sorts of fun things for the kiddos to do. The service is always friendly, giving great recommendations and accommodating my needs especially when I need to split my ice cream into two separate cups for my kids!

Cute spot that feels like a charming little house vibe. There's a nice outdoor area that's family friendly with plenty of tables and spots to sit, and for kids to play in. They have a little sand pit, shaded tent seating areas and so forth. Theres a few other places to eat and shop within the same area. The guava refresher was perfect for a warm sunny day. Did half sweet and it was exactly what I needed. Refreshing and cooling it was delicious. The drink itself came out fairly quickly too! Street parked when I went and it wasn't too far of a walk or difficult to find parking.

Nice cold latte on this beautiful sunny day!

I ordered 3 rice balls,are were delicious. I also bought my son a coffee. Service was good,and super quick. The ambiance was bit quite and I truly enjoyed the variety of drinks. I will return with my family as Im sure the ambiance of patio will be nice for relaxing. My husband liked the spam and eggs roll the best.

Phin Smith is located on Main street in Garden Grove. There's a parking lot in the back and street…read moreparking in the front. If you park in the back, be prepared for a bit of a trek as you make your way around all of the buildings that don't have back entrances. Phin Smith is a cozy coffee shop (with free Wi-Fi!!!!) that makes for a great study/work spot. They have a small menu with a nice variety of items, and they do each of them really well. Service is great and everyone that I ran into seemed like they loved working there! There is a bathroom in the back and plenty of comfortable seating for getting work done. Overall, Phin Smith gets a 9/10 from me. No issues, tasty coffee, nice bathroom, and quick Wi-Fi!

I had a huge "yikes" moment when I tasted my drink, because I know they'll modify your drink if you…read moredon't like it... but my issue was that I didn't like the entire thing, so I didn't want to say anything. I thought the whole thing was gross. NorCal's Phin Cafe is way better, along with the other Vietnamese egg/ube/pandan/etc coffee places that have been hype on social media lately (Phin Smith does not have some of these flavors - they're behind!). - Coconut Coffee The marbling is kind of cute, but the flavor is not potent or good enough. We've had plenty of coconut coffees pop up in NorCal and Phin Smith's coffee was meh. It was just missing creaminess, sweetness, coconut flavor, wasn't too strong on the coffee, and had a little extra water/crushed ice dilution. If rating this itself, it'd be average to below average. We had to add their self-serve simple syrup to make it taste better. We usually don't need to add anything when ordering at various places in NorCal because they actually get it right. - Peach Breeze Disgusting, one of the worst beverages that I've ever consumed in my life. It literally just tasted like someone opened canned peaches and added water to it. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I also asked for half ice and a majority of the thing was still large ice cubes. I don't drink coffee, but I'm not sure if I would have liked their other drinks on the menu considering their best selling coffee was barely satisfactory. Other than the subpar drinks, the inside had some sticky spots and could use some cleaning with actual cleaning product. Lots of people seemed to be enjoying themselves on their laptop, and I saw a few people buy their coffee bags. I liked how there was a cute motorbike outside and on the logo. I'll also add an extra star for having reasonable prices, so I didn't feel scammed after drinking this horrible concoction.

I'm a sugar lover in my matcha drinks, but the double matcha I got had me in a chokehold with how…read moresweet it was at full recommended sugar level lol! I would suggest (and I will be doing this as well for my next sugar grove trip) to do 75% sugar for their matcha for a more leveled balance of matcha and sweetness! The matcha foam was great, thick and strong and not too bitter. The drink itself was such a beautiful dark green! It clearly was really good quality matcha powder. I got it with oat milk (no extra charge). My partner got the Wintermelon Milk Tea and it was great for him! The baristas were fast, nice, and friendly! We got our drinks carefully prepared and I could tell they take great care of their customer's drink appearance which I appreciate!

Looks like their specialty is matcha, but I was really craving a mango drink at the time. They had…read morethis mango mellow drink poster on the front door which looked like my favorite mango blue drink from Heytea, so I was excited to try it! You get a choice between sweet or salty foam, I got sweet but the salty one sounds fun to try next time. The image poster on the front showed that the drink had a blue spirulina component to the drink that wasn't there in my drink, but it was still good. I think it could use a stronger mango flavor and more toppings. I'd come back to try the matcha drinks next time because all the workers were so sweet!
