I'm glad more cafes with asian menus are popping up around CSUN. There's plenty of free parking in the front and the side of the cafe. The cafe layout was spacious and minimalist, plenty of seats available (gets filled quick however), and high ceiling! Service was good, nothing out of the ordinary. For those studying, it can be pretty loud in there at times so just a heads up! Their iced matcha latte was pretty good- the color of the matcha in the picture looks brighter than in real life. I'm not sure what the aftertaste is, but it seems like a powder sweetener type of aftertaste- can't put my finger on it. I have had this aftertaste in other cafes so I'm guessing the ingredient they're using is pretty common. I also got their bulgogi kimchi panini and this would be a good snack as it'll fill you up for a couple hours. It is cheesy so watch out for the lactose intolerant peeps! I haven't tried their bingsoo because I was focused on studying, but will maybe try next time. The only thing about this cafe is that they only have charging stations/outlets on one side of the cafe and you have to be lucky to grab a spot there. They also don't have wifi on Sundays if you're looking to get some work done. read more

5 star for the baristas friendliness. The cashier was very cold , mumbling and didn't even acknowledge or say thank you when we brought our trays back to the counter. We wanted to like this place but the treatment from the cashier was very off putting. $7 for a half filled cup of hot chocolate that was also not great and one of our mochi fish were pretty burned read more

Peak Cafe - $7 for a hot chocolate that costs more than their coffee. I figure it was supposed to be the best hot chocolate ever...it wasn't. - Cafes Near Me - Northridge, California

Loved the matcha corn coffee although the sweetness of the corn was super sweet given that it was 75%. Still, the entire time I was here in SoCal I was in the hunt for these. I gave it still, a 10/10. Had it using almond milk. Perfect matcha ratio. Next I had the dirty matcha. Delicious but because I was working it became watered down easily and noticeably so. Advise to use less ice and refrigerate. Would definitely back here. Actually, I'm reviewing about my second time because I loved it so much I bought some for my coworkers. Super expensive using Uber Eats though. read more

I absolutely loved this drink it is the coconut cloud. It has coconut water and pieces of coconut with matcha, the cloud on top was perfect. I recommend for sure. The service was great, they made my drink in less than 5 minutes. It was a pretty lively cafe and a great place for study. read more

They were fast, and their drink was refreshing. One of the freshest matchas I've tasted by fair super light and fresh. They were quick to make the drinks but sometimes super packed in terms of seating. Inside is spacious though but usually large groups can make it loud. read more

Peak Cafe - Matcha latte - Cafes Near Me - Northridge, California

Matcha and bingsoo/bingsu/korean shaved ice! Love the menu of croffles, lattes, and more. Vibes are great. It's airy, has good sunlight, modern tables. Staff is sweet. Other patrons are also nice (the two times I was here was late at night and early Saturday morning). I'm not a student but I appreciate them letting me hang here anyways haha. Parking is easy. It's across the street from the new Trader Joe's. Welcome to CSUN study hall!!! Do the right thing-- order something, tip, don't overstay, clean up after yourself, or go somewhere free and publicly funded or non profit. Just a friendly reminder that this is a business :) they're doing great and deserve great customers. read more

For what it's worth, I typically enjoy coming to Peak Cafe for their drinks and big paninis. It's solid. And I always tag them when I buy from them. However, I'm taking out 2 stars because when the young man at the counter (December 13, 2025 at 5:15pm) later CORRECTED HIS statement that Peak's discounts aren't exclusive for just CSUN students, but also Trader Joe's employees as well as healthcare workers, and I then proceeded to show my RN badge, he said he won't include the discount because the transaction already went through. I guess I had a negative facial expression on my face because he then proceeded to ramble about "I feel bad about it and I know you want to save money..." and I told him it's okay, and I walked away from the counter. Personally, I find this weird because when I worked in food service, and something similar like this happened, I voided the order, resubmitted the order, and then added the discount. This employee came off EXTREMELY lazy, and overall, unprofessional. What was even more disrespectful is that HE GOT A TIP from me (pictured in this post). Yet, he didn't want to correct the mistake in the order. Again, their products are great. But now I'll come here when my other options are not available. In short, this cafe will be the last one I resort to in the Northridge area. read more

Such a great cafe to catch up with friends or get work done because it is so spacious, has WiFi, and restrooms! Love that it's student friendly and there is plenty of parking!

Loved my experience and will definitely be back! read more

Shaved ice is OK. Nothing really to talk about. White soft shaved ice with hints of flavor. I am kind of disappointed. Overpriced for what it is. Students mostly taking up the space here so seating can be limited. We ordered some jasmine drink. It was ok. I guess if you're in the valley, this is a place to go. Service was good. Easy ordering. read more

We came in on a Saturday night, right before closing at 8:45 pm. They were super sweet and helpful with the menu. We were trying to do something hot (for once-since it was cold) but most drinks are iced. Which normally I love, so I'll definitely be back. We got the Biscoff cookie, one iced and hot, I preferred the hot as the flavor pops more. Plenty of parking. read more

My second review for this place!!! I've gone and gotten their matcha squared with oat milk twice already!!! The menu is seasonal but it's honestly so delicious I'd be upset if it was gone forever!!! I believe my friend got some type of tea which was delicious and my other friend got the banana matcha which was honestly so creamy and perfect. It had the best banana flavor I've ever tried. Definitely hands down one of the best places I've had read more

I loved Peak Cafe! We shared a regular size cookie bingsoo and a match croffle and both were great. Portion sizes were generous and the bingsoo was delicious. Matcha croffle was also great and I loved all of the fruit that they put on top of it! The cafe is huge and we were surprised by how crowded it was on a Thursday night, but we were able to find seating pretty quickly. It was a great place to hangout! read more

Definitely recommend trying the bingsoo and the fish bread called Bungeoppang! I loved the sweet and tart strawberries in the bingsoo, paired with the little rice cakes--it was so refreshing and not overly sweet. The flavors were just right. As for the Bungeoppang, I tried both the red bean and Nutella fillings. They were cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. One of my favorites for sure! Can't wait to come back and get these again. read more

Came here cause they have great photos of shaved ice (bingsoo) and I left feeling supper satisfied. The desserts at this cafe are at its peak! The large strawberry bingsoo was so fluffy and tasty. I believe the best thing at this location is the bungeoppang (the fish). The fish batter tasted very different from the ones i tried, including somisomi. The fish has a crunchy texture when you bite into it, but it surprises you with a soft and slightly chewy interior like mochi. The best fish filling is Nutella. Service was quick and staff were friendly. This place can get busy during the day on weekends, but I highly think you should check them out! read more

Peak Cafe is a bright and open coffee and bingsoo shop nearby CSUN. This might be my new favorite study spot in Northridge! They have really great drinks and desserts, and it is also a great place for either studying or catching up with friends. There are some tables that are marked as laptop-free for those who want to chat with their friends, but there are also spots with outlets for those who want to study. Their Sunset Tonic drink is a refreshing and fizzy drink, and it isn't too sweet with yuzu and lychee. The Biscoffee is also a fun twist on traditional coffee, combining the Biscoff cookie flavor with caffeine. For dessert, the Cookies and Cloud Bingsoo is so good! It combines, vanilla, ice cream, Oreos, and mochi, all topped with sweet condensed milk. They also have taiyaki with different fillings. I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in Northridge! read more

Been here twice and they messed up my drink both times. The second time I came here they completely messed up my drink. I was not rude at all when I let them know but sensed the barista passive aggressiveness when I let her know it was wrong. She half-assed my drink and gave the wrong drink for free to the customers right next to me. Extremely rude and disrespectful. Please retrain your staff on customer service and better listen skills. Drinks are mediocre. read more

Peak was so freaking delicious! Their cafe was very nice and it was very chill, and they had good spots to study and the food was so good in love with the croffles!

I love peak cafe!!!! Their croffles are divine and the bingsu is also really good. My favorites are the strawberry bingsu and strawberry matcha croffle. I have also tried the caramel crunch croffle (8.5/10) and strawberry matcha latte (6.5/10). The service is good and theres lots of places to study (and lots of plugs too). There are lots of parking spots too! The two bathrooms are clean and need a code. The bathroom code and wifi password is on the receipt after you buy something! read more

This place is a vibe! Gives memory look vibes from ktown, but much nicer inside. I love the wooden pieces and hanging decorations! The music is nice too, and makes it easy to focus for studying (korean soft pop, lofi) Decent studying, though at peak study times wifi can be spotty. Smart for not offering wifi on Sundays to prevent overcrowding. Drinks: - Halo Tea - seasonal $8.50 - full flower inside and its yummy! Seasonal last til the end of this month 1/24/25 - Tonics are my fave here with the cheong. - SO likes the pour over coffee $7 which is also seasonal, but will be staying on after the seasonal menu changes at the end of the month. - einspienners are aight here, i think re: might be the better option bingsoo is pretty good too and def would come back for it here. read more

I'm pretty sure I reviewed this place a while back, but a friend suggested going here and I didn't see my review, so I'm adding it here: First, the space is pretty big with a good amount of seating. I remember service being pretty good, too. However, I also remember that the taro bingsoo was memorably disappointing. The taro paste didn't really go well with the bingsoo. The powder was reminiscent of the powder that would be used for taro milk tea. The crunchy dates also didn't really go well with the dish. It definitely didn't hit, even for $7.50. The boongopang (fish shaped bread) with hotteok filling also fell short for me, but my partner did think it was ok. Overall, I wouldn't get the bingsoo again, but I might be willing to try a different boongopang. I would probably try a drink instead next time. read more

My go to place for some matcha and a drip coffee. The atmosphere is nice and calming, this place is almost always packed which is good for them. Usually I come here after eating at Futaba or Chilis. read more

All I can really say is this place is pricey for what you get. The matcha is decent, but nothing particularly memorable or worth going out of your way for. It's almost always crowded, likely because it's close to a school, which makes the experience feel a bit rushed and noisy. Between the higher prices and the constant crowds, it's not somewhere I'd choose if I'm looking to relax or enjoy a good drink. read more

We ordered the small/regular sized strawberry bingsu and it was enough for the two of us! Portion size is a 5/5. The bingsu tastes like your average bingsu, but it tasted refreshing and wasn't too sweet even with the condensed milk. Service was good and we got our order pretty quickly. This place seemed pretty popular as there were lots of families and students hanging out or studying. Would like to come back to try their drinks! read more

Peak Cafe is one of my go-to spots for studying or getting some work done. The space is always clean and beautifully decorated, making it a cozy and inviting environment. That said, it can get pretty busy--when I visited around noon, most of the seating was already taken. With its proximity to CSUN, it's no surprise this place fills up fast! I ordered the Iced Unsweetened Matcha Latte ($7). While it was good, I was hoping for a bolder matcha flavor--it leaned more towards tasting like milk. Still, I enjoyed it enough and am curious to explore other items on their menu. Overall, Peak Café has a lot to offer, especially if you're looking for a productive and stylish spot to hang out. I'll definitely be back to try more drinks soon! read more

Peak Cafe - Matcha Latte - Cafes Near Me - Northridge, California

Pleasantly surprised to have a good Korean cafe in the valley. I wanna come back to try the bingsoo, but so far have been in love with their matcha yuja tonic. I'm not a huge fan of super sweet drinks, but the bits of sweet yuzu with every sip is one I keep coming back for. I've tried a sip of their strawberry matcha latte and out of all the strawberry matchas I've had in the past month, this is by far the real-est. Also, they measure every drink to perfection. There's also plenty of parking and lots of spaces to sit. read more

Peak Cafe has plenty of seating and wifi, making it a great place to study! So far, the lines have never been long and my order is always ready within minutes. Food-wise, the black sesame bingsoo was way too sweet for me but I love the nutty flavor. For the strawberry matcha, the strawberry completely masked the weak matcha flavor, making it taste like plain strawberry milk. I tried the regular matcha latte a separate time, and I could taste some matcha but would prefer they add even more powder. read more

Food: DELICIOUS , me and friends got the nutella boongobbang which was warm and soft inside and crunchy outside. We also got the cookies and cloud bingsu which had such amazing mochi, oreo and ice cream shaved ice (also came with condensed milk i think?)!!! We also got a passion fruit drink that was tasty and refreshing! Service: The man at the front asked if we had any questions and was very helpful and joyful. Our order was also out quickly even when basically every table was filled! Ambiance: super clean, wasn't noisy or crowded. Space was open concept and very enjoyable. Many college students or people working on computers or homework! Also a nice place to hang with friends for a sweet treat! Apartments are nearby along with CSUN being right there so the parking can either be empty or a little cramped. Usually it's a little cramped in that specific area, but do not let that stop you from visiting this place! No outdoor seating! ***I went back again the following day to try their coffee and reorder the nutella boongobbang. Super delicious. There is a restroom with a code you get from receipt and they also have wifi EXCEPT on sundays (unsure why). They also accept apple pay! *NOTE: me and my friends tried the little claw machine and unfortunately it let's go at the top everytime. no chance of winning so tbh don't waste your money. (it also accepts apple pay/tap) 10/10 would recommend trying. a great hidden spot. read more

A cute, trendy and upscale addition to the coffee desert that is Northridge. It's nice that recently Northridge has seen its trendy and nicer coffee shops. We don't need any more Starbucks anymore!

Northridge has plenty beverage places and this place dis not disappoint. It was hot summer day and I looked to Yelp for something cool and refreshing. Food: I ordered one of their lychee drinks (I forgot the name of the drink) and it was super yummy. The drink was not too sweet and super pleasing to the eye. Service: the service was pretty good and prompt. All drinks were made to order. They also served foods but I will try next time. I had to take a picture of their bathroom. It was so clean and pretty. Cheers! read more

If you mix the drink, the matcha strawberry wasn't very sweet unless you got a lot of the purée. I'm so used to the matcha being sweet as well. Service was fast. It took a bit to get their attention before ordering but pleasant otherwise. Chill easy listening music in the background made the ambiance peaceful. Saw a lot of customers here doing work on their laptop or spending time with loved ones. Decent sized parking lot. Clean restroom with code. Good amount of tables and outlets if you plan on getting work done ! Definitely caters to students. If you're around CSUN, check this place out ! read more
