Cookie Butter Coffee
Deisha S.

Overall, very pleased with my short, but sweet experience! I ordered the cookie butter specialty latte (hot) after I asked the cashier for some recommendations. Cashier said that if I prefer my coffee sweeter, they'd recommend the cookie butter or the sidecar. If not as sweet, the Spanish latte - very helpful! The roast is lighter than many other cafes I've been to - which was a nice change of pace. Their lattes use standard double shots of espresso which provided a nice boost for the morning. The store decor was also super cute and I appreciated the staff for assisting in my (very indecisive) decision making^^

Cookie Butter latte

Ordered a cookie butter latte and their Vegan cookie! Both were so delicious 10/10 recommend! Although the coffee shop is challenging to find because there's no sign outside, the inside of the coffee shop is so cute!

Drink Menu (as of May 2024)

Location - INSIDE of Take Your Seat The matcha was pretty good, 4/5. Service was amazing. The barista was so sweet & informative of their menu and desserts at the front counter.

This place is a bit hidden. When I showed up I thought I was in the wrong place. The coffee shop is inside a restaurant. Staff was nice and the coffee was good too.

Mexican Sidecar
Andrea K.

Want great coffee made with craft and care?! You've found the place! This coffee bar is located inside the cutest eatery 'Take ur seat too' which gets really busy and only tells me how great their food must be. Only makes sense that Local Coffee is served here as well. If you see this place busy don't worry, you can still go in and order straight from the coffee bar. Highly recommend the Mexican Sidecar!

$7+tip for ice!

The coffee itself was okay, but I expected a bit more craftsmanship/artisanal quality, especially considering they're using a La Marzocco Micra or Mini a machine capable of producing really great coffee. Right now, it feels more like a trendy cafe experience than a standout coffee experience. They definitely lean into the current matcha hype as well. That said, if you and your friends just want a cozy place to hang out, chat, and don't mind waiting, this place works for that vibe.

Very straightforward, but really well balanced. If you've never had chicory coffee before, it has a deeper, slightly earthy flavor that stands out from a standard cold brew without being overly bitter. It feels inspired by Louisiana/New Orleans-style coffee rather than the super sugary "dessert coffee" trend that a lot of places lean into right now. What I especially appreciate is the price point. At around $5.75, it feels reasonable for a specialty coffee drink that still tastes unique and intentional.

I've been to the location in Costa Mesa and remembered having a positive experience there which is why I didn't hesitate to set my navigation to this location. Walking in I didn't get a single greeting even though there were 4 employees working with no customers that they had to tend to. I almost felt like I was walking into a kumbaya and I was inconveniencing the employees interactions. The interior also is so... bare... and looks like they didn't even attempt to try to make the coffeeshop seem or feel cozy and inviting. It's been a while since I've felt like I should have just spent my money on the nearby Starbucks instead of going out of my way to support small businesses.

(July 29, 2025) Ambiance:…read moreThis place is a hidden gem found within the San Bernardino courthouse off of Haven Ave. There's definitely going to be plenty of parking so you won't have to worry about that. As far as getting to the location; depending on the day, you'll either wait in a long line or no line at all to walk in. Immediately upon entering the building you are met with the usual metal detectors. Head to the left and you should see it there no problem. They have their own little courthouse café all to themselves with no competition in sight. There were plenty of little 2 top tables to sit at and enjoy your beverage. Service: I was met with good hospitality and a cheerful hello from the team. Eric and Mark served me. They kept busy with their drinks and were cleaning throughout in between. They work well together and you can tell they have good synergy when it gets really busy there. Thank you for letting me tell a joke to both of you despite how busy you were. Food: I opted in to get one of my favorite types of drink: Taro! They served Boba type drinks there and figured, "Sure! I'll try this spot out. Why not?" It was a pretty good drink and the prices sure didn't disappoint. I like that they make it quite affordable so that you're not breaking the bank and could enjoy an entree and a delicious drink for under $20 I'd recommend you come check them out or if you had jury duty like me, you can have the security blanket in knowing that if you don't have enough time to eat breakfast or make coffee, you can grab something there! --Derrek with 2Rs P.S.

The matcha itself has a strong, authentic taste that holds its own while still pairing nicely with the sweetness of the strawberry. The space is just as impressive as the drinks. It has a soft pink aesthetic that feels intentional and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of seating available for working or relaxing. It's the kind of café that makes you want to stay awhile, whether you're on your laptop or catching up with a friend. They also offer free WiFi, which makes it even more practical for longer stays. What really stood out, though, was the service. In a time when many aesthetically pleasing coffee shops tend to fall short on hospitality, this place does the opposite. I was greeted with a warm, genuine smile upon entering, and the staff went above and beyond by bringing my matcha and musubi directly to my table. Small gesture, big impact. Friendly, attentive, and consistent service from start to finish. Overall, this is a spot that delivers on both vibe and substance. I'll definitely be coming back.
