Such a cute coffee spot! I ordered the Matcha Cloud, which is matcha with coconut water, and my husband got the Vanilla Latte with almond milk. The coffee was SOOOOO good!! And the cold foam on the Matcha Cloud was perfectly creamy, seriously so delicious. The space itself is super spacious and gives off a cozy study-lounge vibe. It's pretty quiet and very student-friendly, but honestly anyone could come here, hang out, get some work done, or just enjoy their coffee. There's plenty of seating and plenty of parking, which is always a plus! The whole place also has this really cool Korean café-inspired ambience that makes it feel different from your average coffee shop. Super cute, relaxing, and just a really nice place to chill. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!
Peak Coffee Shop is one of my favorite places. I always order the Biscoff coffee, and every time it's just as delicious as the first. It's also a great spot to study after class at CSUN. It does get pretty crowded, especially around the school crowd, but that's a sign of how much people love it. I keep coming back for the coffee and the cozy study atmosphere!
Local coffee shop with lots of fun & unique flavors! Seems like a great place for matcha or coffee, based on observing other people's drinks while I was inside. Good space inside, tables are spaced nicely apart. Feels like a comfortable spot to come and do some work. Easy parking outside too, there's a lot. I ordered an iced banana latte but held the cream top as I'm dairy free. I ordered mine with almond milk. It came in at almost $9, pretty steep. It was ready very soon afterwards. I thought it was okay, it had that artificial banana flavor that reminded me of some childhood candy that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe the banana laffy taffy? Anyways, it was presented nicely with a banana slice on top and if you're into banana flavor, I'm sure you'll be into this. In hindsight, I wish I ordered another flavor though. Maybe next time!
I really enjoyed this cafe. We were all craving matcha and were all very happy & satisfied with our choice in coming here! The cafe is very spacious with really friendly staff and quick service. We went on a Sunday but it seems like a great place to study during the week too. We got the mango matcha, banana matcha, and yuja matcha tonic. I thought the options in matcha were amazing and we were all impressed with the quality. The mango matcha was definitely a 10/10. It was my first time trying mango matcha and I'm so happy my first experience was here. It was amazing! I was really impressed by their cloud top and the mango pieces were really refreshing. As for the banana matcha. I'd give it a 7/10. It tasted a little bit like artificial banana but it wasn't bad. Would come back for the mango matcha and to try the matcha tonic!
I tried Peak for the first time and it is a really relaxing place! I can see that it's popular among students, it's quiet and spacious. I got the biscoffee and it tastes good! The cashier was really friendly and overall I had a good experience for just popping in to get a coffee before heading back to work.
Got the strawberry milk and the strawberry bingsoo. Both were really good and super refreshing on a hot day. I also liked that neither of them was overly sweet. The inside was a lot bigger than I expected and had plenty of seating. There were also a lot of outlets, which makes it a perfect place to get some work done or catch up with friends. The service was really friendly, and parking was easy since there's a large parking lot. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area!
In June, I had an appointment at CSUN and stopped by Peak Cafe for a treat. The cafe's in a plaza with free parking. The cafe's interior is bright with plenty of seating. It was quite busy for a late Monday morning; there was a mix of students and families. I did takeaway, and the service was minimal, yet fast. I ordered the Injeolmi Latte ($8.10), which was iced and sweet with a light roasted flavor. The coffee was strong, so mix it well and you'll get a creamy latte. If I'm in the area again, then I'd return to Peak Cafe to try more of their menu!
Went to give this place a try and the drinks were delicious! It's very mellow and relaxing inside, not too loud. The staff were really nice and quick in getting our drinks ready! The biscoff latte was more on the sweeter side for sure, which I liked and you can really TASTE the mango in the matcha latte we got too. It was a delight to try! They do offer milk alternatives just fyi! :) I will say it is a bit on the pricier side compared to some other coffee shops. It also seems that a lot of students or just people in general come here to study and work, so when we went it was a bit busy and hard to find seating inside!
This is cute cafe right by CSUN! It gets quite crowded with a lot of people coming to get work done. Since it was later in the day, I got the *sunset tonic* which was aesthetically pleasing with delicious yuzu and lychee. My cousin got the *injeolmi latte* and it was quite caffeinated/strong and creamy! We shared a *banana brûlée croffle* with a yummy white cloud of mascarpone cream and carmelized banana. It was my first time here and definitely not my last! Can't wait to come back and try more things!!
I found my new fave coffee shop! I've tried the Peaked Up & Corn latte. Both were really good and strong (which is a must!) it's around 8.60 a cup but the coffee is strong. Employees were friendly and plenty of seating. Definitely a lot of people studying and I can imagine it gets even busier with students once the semester starts.
Bustling place on Sunday at 2pm, short line to place order that moved quickly, but I could have used the extra time to read all drink options on the menu. The Bischoffee or Banana Latte or Corn Coffee were all very tempting but I went for my preferred drink these days Strawberry Matcha although as I stood there waiting for my drink (which quite a bit longer than my friends American) I was regretting not trying one of their insane looking coffee drinks (aka deserts). My BF said his Americano was excellent, not acidic or bitter in any way. My strawberry matcha was good, a bit too jammy, but not cloyingly sweet although the matcha itself was mildly flavored, it was highly caffeinated since it kept me from falling asleep at my regular time. If I was in the area I'd absolutely go back there again.
I was truly impressed with Peak Café and I know I'm not alone because the place was packed the night we went even though it was midweek. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. And the menu had the most interesting looking selection of unusual items. I know I will be returning in order to try some of them. The reason I'm not giving Peak Cafe a perfect rating is because I went specifically to try the bingsoo. I was very excited to find a bingsoo place in the valley. However, because I was comparing it to the Bingsoo at Oakobing, I was slightly disappointed. If I had tried Peak Café first I would have loved it, however, it is very hard to beat Oakobing. All in all, I will definitely recommend Peak Cafe. A nice relaxed environment paired with an interesting menu and reasonable prices.
Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Peak Cafe and had no complaints about drinks, service, or vibes. Service was very friendly! It's a beautifully decorated and aesthetically pleasing space with plenty of seating and even the bathrooms were nice and definitely well-maintained. I had the Coconut Cloud with Matcha and it was perfectly refreshing. I also sampled the Biscoffee and it had a strong espresso flavor that was well complemented by the sweet cookie butter flavor. The bungeoppang was freshly prepared and well worth the $5.50 for 2; the hotteok flavor was my favorite. Overall, Peak is a wonderful space and a comfy place to study in. No wifi on Sundays though!

I got the strawberry matcha and all I can say is I wish I was still enrolled at CSUN to be able to experience studying and doing homework at this place. The matcha is amazing. About 8$ for this medium cup which is pretty average price but this is where you will get the most bang for your buck in terms of flavor. The decor is so beautifully relaxing and there's lots of space. read more

Double matcha was not as strong as I expected it be. Sweetness was good and balanced. I was creamy and light. I definitely want to go back a couple more times and try their other drinks. read more
I've been here on multiple occasions over the past 1.5 years at different times. It seems to be a popular spot for students since it's near CSUN. Drinks 2.5/5 I've tried the hot matcha latte, iced strawberry matcha latte, and iced matcha squared. The only one I've liked that tasted like a balanced matcha drink is the hot one. The strawberry matcha only tasted like milk & strawberries. The matcha squared was good but didn't taste like enough matcha even though it had the matcha foam. It was too milky & creamy. Pastry 5/5 Got a chocolate croissant. This was deliciousssss. I LOVED this croissant. It was so crunchy and had just the right amount of chocolate filling. Not overly sweet. Dessert 1/5 I was disappointed by the strawberry bingsoo. Not enough strawberry syrup/puree, not enough toppings (strawberries & mochi). It just tasted like a basic unflavored bingsoo. I ordered that based on the cashier's suggestion but I didn't like it :/ also, wish it came with a different flavor of ice cream. The vanilla ice cream was yummy but I think it would taste better with strawberry ice cream or something else. Service I've received good service on all occasions. Prices Prices are pretty average & compare to other places in the area & LA in general. Ambiance Plenty of space to hang out or get work done with free wifi. I like how spacious yet cozy it is. read more

I've been coming here regularly whenever I work from home, and it's become one of my favorite coffee spots. I always order the Matcha Einspanner, and it's consistently delicious every single time. The matcha is rich and smooth, and the cream on top makes it the perfect balance without being overly sweet. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and it's a great place to get some work done or simply relax. If you're a matcha lover, I highly recommend giving the Matcha Einspanner a try. I always look forward to coming back! read more

This newly opened cafe caught my attention so I decided to give it a try. Their seasonal menu included a corn latte so that's what I ordered today. I've been wanting to try a corn latte for a while but none of my local coffee shops had it on their menu- until now. It was delicious! So smooth and creamy and felt more like a dessert than coffee. I'm excited to try other items on their menu. The ambiance is lovely and there is plenty of seating inside. The parking situation is alright, they have about 5 designated spots in front and then the lot is shared with the rest of the University Plaza shops. I definitely plan on coming back! read more

This is a great space if you're in need of a late night matcha or coffee. There's lots of seating space, great for doing school work or just hanging out. The drinks were super smooth , employees were super kind. It's my second time going and would totally recommend to others. The Nutella filled fish pastries are to die for. read more
Peak was a cute open space for people who want to do work. I went in there and there were a lot of students studying around since it's near CSUN. The place has a lot of great lighting. I came in wanting a matcha but I asked the staff what their most popular drink was and he said it was the banana matcha that was not on the menu. I proceeded with that for my order and it was good but a little sweet for my liking. I would just want it a little less sweet next time if you guys don't want it too sweet you might be able to adjust the sweetness. They had syrup in the pick up station as well as to those who wants to add syrup for their drinks. It was a great spot to try. They have other drinks on their menu that I would want to go back and try. Staff was very nice, place was decent and clean. read more

Peak is a cute little cafe in the corner of a shopping center. The inside of the cafe is the perfect amount of natural light for a catch up coffee with your bestie or a matcha to help you power through your study session. I have been to speak a few times and I usually order their Strawberry Matcha Latte. It's my absolute favorite Strawberry Matcha in the valley. It's sooooo good. They're always busy but they make your drink really quickly... wait times are not a problem for a busy cafe. The last time I went; I bought my friend their Espresso Brownie and she said it was delicious. Peak Cafe is a 10/10 for me read more
We wanted to grab some Dog Haus down the street so we decided to check out this coffee shop that was on my list! Got there at about 11:50am this morning and didn't realize they open at noon. Another couple tried to open the door ahead of us and realized the same so we all just stood by the door and waited. Shortly after, an older man opened the door saying we can wait inside while the other younger guy finishes preparing. My bf and I walked up to look at the menu while the other couple sat down. The guy ended up just taking our order so that was nice, first in line lol! I ordered their iced corn coffee since it's something I've been wanting to try for a while. I've seen other coffee shops have it as well but I always opted for something else delicious. After ordering, the room filled with a line IMMEDIATELY. It was crazy!! I guess this place gets super busy over the weekend and not sure about during the week but that other couple ahead of us ended up being at the end of the line. Lots of tables and seating here which is awesome. Super spacey too, not neck and neck. Drink came out fast as well which was great. Big cup for $8 which feels like you're getting your money's worth. The presentation was beautiful! The drink was strong and also had the perfect sweetness. It has a very faint corn flavor from their house made corn puree so it's not overpowering at all. I loved it and would definitely come back for it again! I also want to come back to try their croffles and perhaps their bingsoo! IG: @ammysalamii read more

It's a big cafe with lots of seating, making it a nice cafe for studying. On the flipside, it can get packed on the weekends, so expect to have trouble finding seating. It can also get loud if you have trouble studying in busy spaces. I got a drink from the Specialty menu--a Biscoffee priced at $8.60 that came out to $9.99 after tax and an extra $0.50 for oat milk. I feel that their prices are a bit higher than other cafes, and though the sizes are big (I assume 20oz), I wish they offered smaller sizes. I also wish they did not charge extra for alternative milks when the base price is already so high. The drink was pretty, but aside from the Biscoff cookies on top, the drink tasted like a regular latte that happened to be in the same room as cookie butter. Overall, it's a nice place to go with friends, but I felt disappointed with my drink and the prices. read more
A great cafe addition to the Northridge area. What stuck out to me right away was how open and spacious it was. We got there when they opened on Sunday. We were the second ones there but soon it filled up fairly quickly. But because it is fairly popular, it does get pretty noisy. So if you are going to do any studying there, be sure to bring noise canceling headphones or headsets. They have a variety drinks and foods, from pastries, panini to shaved ice. We tried their chocolate croissants and it was very yummy. For drinks we got their strawberry matcha, matcha latte, mocha latte and Taro milk. They were all fairly good. The strawberry matcha latte I thought had the right amount of sweetness. Some notes, be aware that on Sundays, we were told they don't make as many food/paninis. Sure enough they only had one bulgogi panini which was sold right away. Their WiFi is also not available on Sundays. read more

Excellent friendly service. Very bright and clean tables and chairs. Accommodated our group of 8 without issues. Corn coffee was very unique and tasty (only served cold). Matcha was good and the sesame bingsoo was fresh and the mochi was chewy. Pear tea and jade tea were also very nice and flavorful. read more
*Check pictures for reference* The desserts are YUMMY. They all taste unique and great! Wish I can try them all, but gotta savor them one by one. Can't wait to try their other Bingsu flavors. The service was fast and prompt, and the area has lots of tables and chairs; great for studying, socializing, and hanging with the fam. Give it a try! read more

I love peak! Every csun student knows about it, it's one of the go-to study spots :) there's free wifi for customers Monday-Saturday, bathroom use for customers. the wifi pw and bathroom code are on the top of your receipt, a lot of new customers miss that lol. The matcha is solid, milky and swet will always be consistent in taste I like that :) there's boongobang are delicious! So is the shaved ice dessert. They always decorate inside according to the season, it's overall a great place! read more
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

Cool lil vibe to do homework & hang out to catch up w friends. Employees were nice & informative My first time trying banana matcha AND IT WAS HEAVEN SENT. Such a great combo New fav drink alerttt read more
Great place to chit chat, get dessert, and study. The STRAWBERRY BINGSOO (Korean shaved ice) and the CARAMEL CRUNCH CROFFLE which has mascarpone cream, Biscoff cookies, caramel, condensed milk, powdered sugar are soooo good. Service is fast to receive your order, but clearing your table and returning your trays is self-service. read more

The food was amazing i really enjoyed it there. The Bingsoo was really good and it wasn't to pricey same with everything else. I don't usually like matcha but the matcha strawberry croissant was amazing. I came here with my friends to study and it's a very calm environment but it can get really busy. We had a hard time finding a table because it was pretty busy but we did end up finding somewhere. I would go back. read more

This place is awesome! A first visit, and this place completely won me over. I loved the atmosphere and the concept: it feels thoughtful, almost curated. Every drink looks so inviting that choosing becomes a small dilemma in itself. I went for the Matcha² with oat milk, and let me tell you... it was like resting your lips on a cloud! Soft, velvety, and comforting in the most elegant way. Absolutely worth the price. I truly recommend experiencing it at least once. 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 is such a great all-around coffee spot. Everything we tried was beautifully presented and tasted just as good. The desserts were light, balanced, and not overly sweet--perfect with coffee. The shaved ice was fluffy and refreshing, the waffles were soft with just the right amount of crisp, and the fruit toppings tasted fresh and thoughtfully paired. You can tell a lot of care goes into both flavor and presentation. The drinks were just as solid. Smooth, well-balanced coffee and specialty drinks that weren't too sweet or bitter, making them easy to enjoy alongside the desserts. 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

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! Staff was helpful in explaining the menu as we were first timers and the croffle was delish! The matchas delivered too with large drink sizes and potent matcha flavor! Loved my experience and will definitely be back! 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
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
