This location is advertised as a 24/7 study space open to the public on yelp, but you actually need…read morea membership to be there. The confusing part is that both doors were unlocked and the area we sat in had no signage indicating it was private or restricted. There was a separate section clearly labeled "member only," which we purposefully did not enter. We were asked to leave, which is completely understandable if it's a members-only space. However, the staff member who approached us was unnecessarily rude and seemed upset that we were there, even though the setup made it seem open to the public. Clear signage or locked access would prevent this kind of confusion. A more polite approach would have also made a big difference. The staff member was lacking courtesy about it. This feels like an issue with unclear setup and communication, not customers.

Ordered the hot Orange Bourbon Cardamom latte; wow! Its not for the faint of heart because it does have a very particular taste. The taste of orange peels is strong and makes the coffee mildy bitter but the sweetness and oat milk balance it out perfectly. Its such a unique drink and soooo good!! The syrups are definitely homemade and make the drink so special. Service was quick, several staff members working in the back. Super friendly when they handed me my drink. Will be back!

There didn't seem to be much parking considering the other shops in the strip mall. However, I got some gas and stayed parked there while I ran in to get coffee. No outdoor seating but a few tables and comfy chairs inside to accommodate. I believe I also saw a few shelves full of board games. The gentleman welcomed me as soon as I walked in which I absolutely love. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided on the iced coconut macadamia latte. It was so delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness, full of flavor, and the coffee wasn't bitter at all. I will definitely return if I'm back in the area.

On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet. The only complaint (and I'm not docking points here), is that the bathroom is not within the cafe, and you have to get a key card from the staff in order to use the restroom (can be difficult if there is a long line to order).

This is an ok coffee shop... 5-Stars for atmosphere & 3-Stars for drinks. That gives it 4-Stars…read moreover all. There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

My teenage daughter forgot her phone and didn't have a physical credit card, and since the shop doesn't accept cash, she was stuck on a rainy day. Liu, who was working at the register, kindly stepped in and offered a solution so she could still order her drink. My daughter later paid her back in cash. It was such a heartwarming reminder that kindness still exists. This coffee shop has definitely gained a loyal customer- thank you, Liu!

Hands down some of the best coffee in OC. If you don't like sweet, don't get a drink with flavoring. Or ask them to adjust. Simple! If you want something yummy and different, try their seasonal menu. I have never once felt like staff was rude. Every interaction has been authentic and genuine. The best. Lastly, long lines happen because this place has grown A TON post-COVID. They're also in the same building as a church, so get there early on the weekend or sit in line and enjoy the atmosphere. There's a friendly crowd there.

For our drinks, we got two signature drinks: *lucky matcha* and *cookie butter latte* They're both on the sweeter side but still good. They live up to the name and description.

My favorite part was the pickled onions. I'd definitely get it again. And the *breakfast burrito* is okay. Nothing outstanding - they did tell us they get them made a day before and they warm up upon order.

Pour overs vary in prices based on which ones you get. The more expensive ones do not necessarily taste better, it just depends on your flavor profile.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!
