Still a huge fan of Smoking Tiger and here to update my review with new favorites. The staff are…read morealways very friendly! Baked goods - 5/5, I LOVE the new chicken pot pie croissant-like pastry!!! The filling is sooo delicious. Sconkies - 5/5, the scone x cookie hybrid is also a favorite. I like the density and their flavors are so fun and unique! Kimchi musubi croissant - 4/5, is very unique and savory. But can be quite salty, better heated up. Yuzu black tea - 5/5, I appreciate their decaf menu because I don't usually drink coffee or caffeinated teas. This iced tea is my new go-to. I like that it's not as sweet as their usual decaf selection.

TLDR - Coffee is good, Bread is good, Service is good, Parking is good. Would recommend…read more The Coffee is good, they can accommodate coffees that aren't on their menu but are typical to coffee around the world (cortados, flat whites etc.) the staff tend to be very friendly and service is quick and polite even when in a rush. A lot of study space and tables for you to chat with your friends. Parking is plentiful

Blue Scoop Creamery was such a great first visit, but Cece really deserves the shoutout here…read more Located in a plaza in Brea close to the freeway, this spot is easy to get to and has plenty of parking, including several 15-minute spots out front for quick takeout. The shop itself was very clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating. Even the bathroom was clean, which always stands out to me. They had 18 flavors available during our visit, including several vegan options, and it looks like they rotate flavors often based on all the flavor signs down the hallway. I also liked learning that their original Yorba Linda location is where all of the ice cream is made from scratch. Definitely makes me want to check that one out next. That said, Cece made the whole experience. We told her it was our first time and she was so friendly, patient, and welcoming from the jump. She let us try multiple flavors, gave us recommendations, pointed out the popular picks, and never once made us feel rushed. That kind of service really sticks with you, especially at a place with a lot of tempting options. She made the experience feel fun, easy, and genuinely hospitable, so shoutout to Cece for making a first visit feel like we'd been there before. We ended up doing the flight of 6 mini scoops to share, which was perfect for first-timers. We tried mint chippy chip, salted caramel, nana's banana pudding, Irish coffee, pot o gold, and Turkish pistachio. Great flavors, clean space, and excellent service. Blue Scoop is definitely worth checking out, and Cece absolutely made this visit a memorable one. Easy 5 stars.

Stopped by Bag of Cakes in Fullerton on a Wednesday around lunchtime to pick up a birthday treat…read morefor my brother-in-law, and wow this place was packed, which is always a good sign! I grabbed the Strawberry Matcha cake slice, and it looked absolutely beautiful. I was on my lunch break, so I didn't get a chance to try more, but everything in the display looked amazing. They had so many cake selections, plus pastries and drinks, which definitely makes me want to come back and actually spend more time there. Even though it was super busy, the service was impressively fast and efficient. One employee helped take my order and package everything up, and the cashier rang me up quickly, so the whole process was seamless and perfect when you're on a lunch break. The atmosphere felt very family-friendly, and despite how busy it was, the experience was still smooth. Parking is free, there's a small lot directly in front, but if that fills up, there's additional parking in the connected plaza, which makes it easy. I didn't get to try the cake but brother-in-law and sister said the cake was delicious. If you're in the Fullerton area and looking for a cute dessert spot with lots of options, this is definitely worth checking out!

First time at this beautiful location!…read more My family and I were craving some delicious Korean cake after dinner. We decided to stop by this location before we headed home. Love how large the space is. The dining area so is chic and perfect for some conversation time with friends. Even though we arrived 15mins before closing, they still had quite of selection of breads. The cakes were beautiful as always. A few new Mother's Day selection that's out already. We got a strawberry cloud cake and an orange cake slice. Can't wait to eat them after I digest some of this dinner. Staff is friendlier than my Fullerton location.

The display cases always have a lot to choose from, so it's fun to grab a variety of things to try. On our visit we picked up quite a mix: the milk bread loaf, cloud cream cake with strawberries, cheesecake, Guava Pie, cream cheese tart, Portuguese egg tart, chocolate muffin, blueberry muffin, caramel apple pie, fruit tart, and a cinnamon twist. The cheesecake was really good -- smooth, creamy, and nicely balanced in sweetness. The cloud cream cake with strawberries was light and fresh, and the milk bread loaf is incredibly soft and perfect to bring home for toast or breakfast. One of our favorites was the cinnamon twist. It was fluffy and delicious, almost like the texture of a malasada. The fruit tart was also beautifully made and a nice lighter option. Not every item necessarily stood out the same way, but overall it's an enjoyable bakery and a convenient local spot when you're craving pastries or want to bring home a mix of sweet treats to share. The shop itself is clean, well organized, and the staff has always been friendly when we stop in. Overall, it's a solid local bakery with a lot of variety, and a nice place to pick up desserts in Brea. Tip: If you're trying a few things, the cheesecake, milk bread, and cinnamon twist were standouts for us.

After reading the reviews, I thought I'd take the risk and give Teatopia a chance and I am so glad I did. We ordered at the kiosk, but failed to notice a posted sign that said they were out of green grape, which is one of the things we ordered. When only one drink came out, the super sweet girl behind the counter offered to make any drink from the menu for us -- regardless of value. MATCHA EINSPANNER: 4/5. Truly surprised by how good this was. Matcha forward, super creamy. 100% sweetness was just right to me. I just found my local spot for when I don't feel like making the trip to GG or Westminster. LYCHEE TEA: 4/5. 100% sweetness here was a little too sweet for me, but my partner loved it. The flavor of the tea itself was delicious.

Yikes. I was in the…read morearea shopping and getting errands done. I had a 25 minute ride back home so I decided to get something refreshing from here first. It was a Saturday evening about an hour before they closed. When I walked in there was a couple in front of me and it appeared they had issues ordering from the kiosk. The one worker who was there that night came out with the most unfriendly face and vibe. Even though she wasn't serving me yet she even made me feel uncomfortable and that's hard to do. Lmao. After we all ordered our drinks, we could not help but talk about how grumpy she looked. I gave the benefit of the doubt knowing it sucks to work alone on a Saturday or maybe she's tired but the strangers i was talking with said everytime they come here she's always unfriendly. The one star reviews on here confirm that. I kid you not I was looking for the manager to share this concern with because it was that bad. There was no one else in sight. I didn't feel like confronting anyone that night, but if they read their yelp reviews please consider providing customer service training to your employees. With so many boba shops opened now in brea including the 3-4 spots in brea mall alone, good drinks and good service will keep your business alive. 2 stars for my pineapple Green tea. It was decent but the ice level sucked. Very little ice was given and the ice they used melted super fast.

2 words..PINEAPPLE ALICE!!! Lol If you haven't stopped by your local OMOMO recently, I highly…read moresuggest that you make a trip because their seasonal drinks right now are FIRE! I legit am on my third day (in a row..don't judge me) of stopping by to order the pineapple Alice. I love me some pineapple & coconut any day, so this drink was a winning combo for me. In a nutshell, it's Greek yogurt blended with fresh pineapple, and topped with their house-made coconut whip. First time I got 50% sweetness level, which is good, but being a fruity smoothie, I would have preferred it a lil sweeter, thus 2nd & 3rd time around, I learned my lesson and got 80%..and it was perfect! Trust..it wasn't overly sweet at all. It was dreamy heaven. I happened to be in the area, getting a tattoo and wanted to refuel before I trekked the trafficky drive home to Irvine (UGH..at 2:30 pm on a Wednesday, no less). Super thankful, I discovered this new looking Brea location (on State College Blvd ~ right near the freeway entrance) and it didn't have a crazy wait/line. The store was clean, w/ minimalistic neutral decor..loved the chill aesthetic vibe. The cute wooden pillars as you enter was interesting, but caught me a bit off-guard, as it was right in front of the pick-up area. You have to explore further inside the store to the order line. Service was great and efficient. OMOMO is highly recommended by this RxFoodie (and my 2nd fav boba shoppe in OC still), so def go check it out and become addicted like ME!

OMOMO Tea Shoppe was a disappointment sadly. The menu doesn't offer the best options but they do…read morehave a variety of different mixtures. They lack providing better descriptions of drinks for new customers and the options are boring. There were zero pastries or food options to pair with your drink. It was only a small drink menu. The customer service was good! The young lady at the counter was very kind and did her best to explain different sweetness and bitterness levels but she couldn't really describe the drinks and recommend anything based on comparisons with what is more popular. As for ambiance it was empty and had no customers. There were no tables to sit and enjoy your drink. So I think people prefer to go to other boba shops that offer at least a small seating area with a table. That was disappointing to see when I walked in. As for flavor... my drink tasted powdery and warm. The boba pearls were a bit stale. I wont be coming back. There are plenty of other boba locations that offer much higher quality drinks and the price point is exactly the same. Overall I'll give a 2/5 star for cleanliness and because the customer service was good.

The indoor space is a bit on the smaller side, but it still feels cozy. If you prefer more room or fresh air, the outdoor seating is a nice option. The bagel was honestly to die for. I would easily order 20 of these! It was simple but really well done. For drinks, I got the yuzu soda, which was lightly sweetened and really refreshing. It paired well with the bagel and felt like a nice, light drink for studying. The service was great ! Overall, Peaberry is a solid spot if you want somewhere casual to study, relax, or meet up with friends. I'd definitely come back just to chill and hang out.

I'm so happy to have finally been able to make it to Milk & Cookies! I've been craving an ice cream…read moresandwich, and this place really satiated that craving. They have warm cookies ready to go - sold by single, six pack, dozen, and jumbo. They also serve a cookie & scoop of ice cream, ice cream sandwich, and two cookies & milk deals for a reasonable price. As soon as I entered the shop, I was immediately greeted with the warm, buttery, sweet aroma that makes a cookie shop feel just right. Staff was very quick to help and take my order despite the line getting longer. I went with a six pack: Lemon Blueberry, Cowboy (chocolate chip, walnuts, oatmeal raisin), Royal Hawaiian (chocolate chip, coconut flakes, macadamia nuts), M&M, Oatmeal Raisin, and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies. I also ordered a scoop of their vanilla ice cream, which was creamy and perfectly balanced in both texture and flavor. I really enjoyed all of the cookies, but if I had to choose my top two, it'll be the Cowboy and Royal Hawaiian. I can't wait to come back for another box of cookies and pick up a bottle of milk, too!
