The order and pick up lates were close to each other so it made the store feel a lot tighter. There was wifi available and a decent amount of seating available inside and outside. Because it was busy, the noise level was loud, so it was essential to use earphones to focus. Their menu had a pour over option, so I definitely had to get it. There was a selection on the side that mentioned different beans; I decided on their Columbia. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I got my fresh pour over. Coffee is good, table spacing was a bit cramp, and noise level was high. American Express is accepted here.

Upon arrival the shop had a lot of technical issues with their payment system. No cash accepted. With the help of an employee, I was able to order 30 whopping minutes later. I ended up getting the ube latte with hazelnut syrup. It is not the same as their ube coffee. The drink didn't look like the drink from a photo I was referencing, but it tasted decent. Ice level was fine and coffee taste was strong enough. There are a few tables you can sit and study at. They have lots of other drinks so I do see myself coming back from time to time.

I found this coffee shop near me so I decided to go with my sister in law. We arrived 10mins before closing time so I was excited to make it on time. Apparently the ridiculously rude young lady working there wasn't having it. She took a couple minutes to take our order since putting in the patio furniture was more important. When she finally finished, she came to the counter with a horrible attitude asking what we wanted. My sister in law wanted a hot coffee and she refused to served it since the machine was "off" already. Then she proceeded to order a banana iced coffee (don't know the name) and again the lady refused to make it since it was one of their most "complicated" drinks to make. We ended up ordering two "quick and easy" ice drinks. We asked if she was working alone... this lady only had rude comments and answers to say (smart ass). It is unfortunate to be treated that way specially when it was my first time there. It is also very unfortunate that the Spanish Latte I ordered was delicious, BUT I will never be returning or recommending this place due to the horrible customer service. I have family in the coffee business and customer service is always a priority, not at this location. Very disappointed with whoever hired her and trained her.

The tea came out within 5 minutes and I sat on the bench inside. The interior is super clean and inviting. When I received my tea, it had excellent, high quality flavor.

Stumbled in while waiting for food at a nearby restaurant. I was out of my element since I'm not a…read morebig tea person so I didn't know what to get. Although, if it would've paired with my food I would've gotten the bubble volcano. I skipped ordering and was along for the ride of my boyfriend getting himself a drink. He got the classic fruit tea and didn't add the extra sugar. Although I'm not a fan of flavored or sweet teas I tried his order and OMG it was SOOO good! It was crisp and refreshing and the various fruits tasted high quality. I think skipping the extra sugar was the right move. I only had a few sips and am craving it already! The inside was sleek and clean. Lots of white and felt very bright. Looks like they offer tea tasting which is unique and cool. Plenty of seating inside. Friendly staff. Just a really good experience. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is the price. For drinks that equate to a standard medium the charges are steep. One drink was nearly $10 with tip. So this place would be more of a treat than a regular visit for me.

Absolutely Delicious - A Must-Visit for Ube Lovers! ​Even…read morethough we recently moved away from Chino Hills to Henderson, NV, Cafe 86 remains one of our absolute favorite spots that we miss the most! Every time we visited, it was a guaranteed hit for the whole family. ​On our last go-around, we loaded up on our favorites, and as always, they did not disappoint: ​Ube Tres Leches: The undisputed star of the show. It is incredibly moist, perfectly sweet, and has the most amazing, rich ube flavor. You cannot leave without trying this! ​Halo Halo: Packed with all the traditional goodies and so refreshing. It's the BOMB. ​Ube Truffles: Bite-sized perfection. Rich, fudgy, and the ultimate little treat to take home (if they even make it to the car). ​Jasmine Milk Tea & Sea Salt Coffee: The perfect drink pairings. The jasmine milk tea is wonderfully fragrant and refreshing, while the sea salt coffee hits that perfect balance of bold, savory, and sweet. ​The atmosphere is always welcoming, and it's just the best place to treat the kids or catch up with friends. Chino Hills is so lucky to have this gem. If you haven't been yet, go change that immediately!

I honestly did not do my research before coming... an Instagram post sent me, so I just ordered the one item (two of them, actually). I have to try more next time because after seeing the menu, I wanted more. The Halo Halo had flan, corn flakes, ube ice cream and other jiggly things inside it. It was very refreshing, you just have to give it a little "mix mix" (Halo Halo). Excited to try more!

I've been wanting to try Omomo in Irvine but never had the chance and was in this area, so I thought why not! I've heard good things. There was no line. Staff was friendly and patient answering my questions. I always like to see if boba shops have unique drinks that stores typically don't have and if not, usually go with the original milk tea. But the Magnolia tea caught my eye. I got the magnolia milk tea and the boba was fresh, soft, but with the right perfect amount of chew! The staff did tell me it's "very floral" and I was a bit worried because I'm not a big fan of floral drink, but honestly, it wasn't that floral. There was a pretty subtle hint of floral-ness, but I can't make the distinction of the "magnolia" flavor. It's similar to maybe camelia? The boba and tea definitely were more prominent. I appreciated that I can taste a stronger tea flavor though. Service was really fast! They are well staffed. I didn't get to do what I came for, but at least the drink did not disappoint! I would come back to try other drinks!

I also tried to order online, but the process seemed a bit complicated, so I ended up just waiting in line to order.

The black tea tapiochi doesn't really have any flavor but the brown sugar tapiochi has the distinct roasted taste, which adds more character to the popcorn milk tea. So I got the popcorn milk tea and I feel like that's the only thing I only want from them now. It's a strong toasty tea blend with rich creamy buttery popcorn flavor, tastes just like a cereal milk or almost like a corn milk! A small but cozy hangout spot with some minimal aesthetic decors, it was half packed with teens and adults around 8pm on a Sunday but plenty parking outside. Service was fast and nice. Only complain I have is that this small cup of drink does not really worth $9 to me. They do have some other interesting teas but the price is just little shocking to me.

The tapiochi added a nice texture to the drink. 3/10 The Matcha Einspanner is very good, although I wish it was a little creamier and a little sweeter to balance out the strength of the matcha. 8/10 The Creme Brulee IceMilk with brown sugar tapiochi is one of my favorite drinks to get! The creme brulee top is super tasty, and goes super well with the tapiochi. It can definitely be a little sweet, so you might want to adjust the sweetness. 9/10 The Osmanthus Citrus Refresher is my all-time favorite drink! The osmanthus flavor is so refreshing in the hotter months, and the citrus adds a nice touch to the tea. 10/10 The staff at all of the Torotea locations are super friendly, and are always willing to give recommendations. The interior is super cute, with a minimalist cave-like design.

Instead of tossing it, they offered the butterscotch latte for free, which I really appreciated. Mistakes happen, but the way they handled it made for a great customer service experience. The banana matcha latte was really good, smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like my matcha. The butterscotch latte wasn't my favorite because it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but if you have a sweet tooth, you'll probably enjoy it. They also have pastries and cookies, however I didn't get to The ambiance is definitely one of the highlights. The café has a cozy industrial vibe with exposed brick walls, warm lighting, and cute decor that makes it feel inviting. There are plenty of tables by the windows, a cozy back room that's quieter, and several spots that would be perfect for studying, working, catching up with friends, or even a casual coffee date. It has a relaxed atmosphere where you can easily spend a couple of hours. Overall, the drinks were solid, the customer service was thoughtful, and the space is somewhere I'd come back to try other drinks and sweets. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

The other barista went to reprint our order and we eventually got our drinks. I've worked at a bar and I understand having customers come in and forgetting an order but they didn't even acknowledge their mistake or apology. We got our drinks and all you taste is milk, you can't taste any coffee. They refunded the vanilla espresso and I just kept my shaken espresso. The avocado toast is delicious.
