My new go-to coffee and matcha place! I decided to try Piccolo Coffee after driving through Artesia, and im so glad I did :) The decor and ambiance is a refreshing change from your average modern cafe; its decorated with maximalist/neo wallpaper and furniture. So pretty! As for the drinks, they were DELICIOUS. I got the double matcha and Cafe Nico. The double matcha has a strong, rich matcha flavor that is still creamy and not too sweet, making it perfect for any matcha lover! The Cafe Nico was just as good, its a smooth coffee drink with hints of orange and cinnamon. I really want to try the earl gray matcha next time I come! read more

I stumbled across this beautifully designed coffee shop by chance. It's become my go-to as of late. Their menu offers an extensive list of speciality drinks made with in-house syrups & unique flavors. They also offer fresh pastries and a cozy ambiance. Their service is great, along with their coffee. I would definitely recommend this location to any family, friend, or colleague in the area. They also offer a stamp card as well and plenty of parking. read more

First time here at piccolo and it was great! The decor is beautiful and the drinks are delicious! I was torn between the London smog and Belgian mocha. Sarah (the owner) explained both drinks which made my decision easy! That Belgian mocha is a must try! I'll definitely come back...stop by here if you're in town! read more

First off, this cafe is so cute- love the aesthetic, vibrant colors, and lighting! Service was great. I asked about their house made syrups and was reassuringly told that the majority of them are made in house, which is something I look for when I go to new cafes. I ended up trying their earl grey matcha. I liked how the earl grey was light and complimented the matcha while also not overpowering it. My mom was able to try their double matcha, which was good and strong! I could see why they put it in a 12 oz cup instead of a 16 oz cup. I would definitely recommend this cafe, and hope to try their espresso drinks the next time I come around! read more

I've been wanting to try this place ever since I noticed it a few weeks back. Finally went and they are currently only open for soft hours. I believe like 8-12pm. Not sure when they'll be open regular/longer hours. When I noticed this shop, I looked them up and their first shop is in Brea. The lady who assisted us says this is their second location. The shop is aesthetically pleasing. Lovely decor, music and displays. The menu options are great too! I'm feel like something for everyone. Delicious and unique pastries. We got a jalapeno geese bagel and their in house made jalapeno cream cheese. The bagel itself looked fresh and that cream cheese-YUMMY!!! We also got their guava pastry. Yummy! Not super sweet too, which we liked. Just enough. I loved the chunks of fruits in the middle. My hubby got a double iced espresso and said it's great. He's a tough critic on espressos, so it must be delicious. My sister got the Vietnamese iced coffee with cold foam and nitro. She also likes hers. I tried it and it was tasty but you could taste the "kick" in it. Which I could use some days, so I'll be back to get that one. I got the strawberry matcha and it was okay. I'll probably not get it again but there was nothing wrong with it. Just wasn't really matcha flavor to me. The strawberry portion was good. I wooo say I recently had an amazing strawberry matcha, so maybe I just subconsciously compared it and I preferred the other places. Again, nothing wrong with it. So I'd still suggest if someone told me they like matcha. We'll be back! Especially cause the staff was soooooo nice, informative and helpful. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Piccolo Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Artesia, California

New in Artesia and already one of my favorite coffee spots! Piccolo Coffee is not your average coffee shop with overly syrupy, generic drinks. Every drink feels thoughtfully crafted--balancing unique flavors, aromas, and that perfect mix of sweet and savory - perfect for coffee connoisseurs I got the Smokey Maple with almond milk and added cold foam (my top drink here). It has a subtle smokiness with a hint of saltiness, and everything comes together so smoothly--super well balanced. We also tried the Espresso Spritz, which I surprisingly LOVED. Perfect if you want to skip milk but still get your espresso fix. It's made with club soda, pomegranate blueberry syrup, and espresso on top--it's light, refreshing, and all the flavors complement each other really well. Lastly, we had the Café Nico (their smallest hot drink). I'm usually not a fan of coffee and orange together, but this completely changed my mind. The citrus and coffee worked beautifully together--definitely recommend if you're into that combo or even just curious to try something new. The ambiance is super cute--I LOVE their chairs (so comfortable), and there are plenty of outlets, making it a great spot to get some work done. The staff have always been incredibly kind and helpful with recommendations. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Get out your piccolo and play the tune of a coffee or tea towards the city of Artesia, and go to the beautifully decorated Piccolo Coffee! Located in the shopping center with Jack In The Box and LA Brisket, this coffee cafe is an excellent addition to Artesia. With its vibrant decor, friendly staff, and innovative flavors: Piccolo Coffee is a great choice when starting your day at 8am. I ordered the iced Smokey Maple with whole milk which had a bold yet smooth flavor, and with subtle hints of bourbon and maple with a sea salt finish. I would make this my drink choice, however would love to try more flavors and tantalize my palate. Welcome to Sarah and her brew crew to the coffee culture here in Artesia, that's a good cup of coffee! read more

Took a brisk walk over after dropping off my car for servicing at the dealership. The space is charming, with a modern Victorian aesthetic. Since they're still in soft opening, a few menu items were unavailable, but still a few interesting coffee options. The barista was sweet and answered questions about the different coffee options and ingredients. I ended up going with the Espresso Spritz, lox bagel, and pistachio croissant. The Espresso Spritz was a delightful surprise. It has pomegranate, blueberry, sparkling water, and espresso. It's outside my usual order, but I really liked it. The lox bagel was tasty, and since I had a 20-minute walk back to the dealership, I ended up eating the warm pistachio croissant there as well. It was delicious! read more

#186 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Piccolo was a fantastic find! They opened less than two months ago and are in their soft opening phase, so the shop hours are currently 8 am to 2 pm every day. Anyways, I forgot what this space used to be but they did a beautiful remodel, with a bold vintage avian wallpaper, opulent chandeliers, ornate gold mirrors, and vibrant colors throughout, giving the space a Victorian chic feel. Their menu is comprised of artisanal lattes and specialty drinks using housemade syrups. The syrups aren't too sweet so you can really taste the balance of flavors with the espresso. So far I've tried their Smoky Maple, London Smog, and Spiced Caramel lattes. The Smokey Maple latte is crafted with bourbon reduction, maple, hickory, and sea salt. The London Smog latte is made with an early grey syrup and a cream top for a little extra luscious feel. I love espresso with earl grey (my latest addiction), and the version here is top-notch. The Spiced Caramel latte is crafted with caramel, vanilla, and five spice for a nice little kick. For those who don't know what five spice is, it's a Chinese seasoning blend that typically combines cloves, cinnamon, star anise, fennel seeds, and Sichuan pepper. I've tried five spice lattes before and I love the concept of combining the unique blend with espresso, creating a one-of-a-kind drink. Anyways, all three drinks were wonderful. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Piccolo Coffee - London Smog & Smoky Maple lattes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Artesia, California

Loving this Bridgerton style vibe the moment you walk in. The lighting with the chandeliers and the floral wallpaper with gold rimmed mirrors just brings out the soft girl era in me. Love the comfy chairs and space that keeps me comforted. Love it. This location is nothing like the Brea location except for the drinks. I ordered the common favorites like the strawberry matcha, cream top latte and Vietnamese coffee. Of had to order my almond croissant and morning bun. But Sarah at Piccolo was like hey, try the spiced maple warm and the lox bagel too. I responded with a yes on yes. Sarah was right. That spiced maple latte was so good. Not too sweet and right balance of different that makes me want to sip more. The lox bagel was beautiful and tasted nicely the moment my lips touched the surface. I had a horrible Monday and I felt like I was rescued this Tuesday morning. read more

I saw this place the other day. Told wifey I wanted to try it out. So, today we came in around 11ish. It was too busy. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The cashier/ barista was very nice and explained what was good and what was better hot or cold. She also gave us a card stamp which is nice. Inside there are a lot of tables people can sit or study at. Drinks were good, they had good flavor and nice taste of espresso. read more

A genuine coffee shop with Mid-Century Modern Maximalism interior design with an industrial chic overlay. There is upbeat music played moderately in the background, and ample seating for your average sit and sip coffee goers. The staff is friendly and fast with their services. Also Sarah the owner is hospitable and has a genuine love for the craft and care for the customers. I ordered the Smokey Maple, which was rich, smooth, and creamy everything you could ask for. I highly recommend this place, a great place for community, conversations, and great coffee! read more

What is there not to love? Great coffee, great staff, beautiful interior, plenty of parking- I would love to put together a much more elaborate review but I encourage you to stop reading and give this place a try. Seriously, you'll thank me later. read more

Another beautiful gem! I admit it.. I think I'm a coffee snob. My husband and I check out all the coffee shops in the Cerritos/ Artesia area. This beautiful coffee shop is a throwback in time to beautiful warm inviting coffee shops with great tasting coffee! I love people that are friendly AND have great social skills and that's how we were greeted as we opened the door. Ordered two cardamom rose coffees and two tantalizing pastries. The coffee was smooth with beautiful aroma of rose and light cardamom (not overly sweet) and the pastries were unique (guava/ lemon) and just perfect in texture and flavor. Wow, what a pleasant surprise. I wish this business much success and we will be visiting more often! read more

The competition is high for great coffee places in Artesia but there's definitely room for more! Holos nearby gets way too crowded so I was pleasantly surprised to see a new place open up with really good coffee. I'm somewhat of a coffee snob and I thought my specialty drip was excellent. The service has to be really good if we're comparing it to the top shops nearby and I'm happy to report it was excellent here. I was even served some ice water and didn't even ask for it. I'll be coming back often. read more

This was a hit! I was greeted with a friendly and personable lady behind the counter who helped me make my selections. All the drinks look delicious and creative. I was hungry that morning and settled in the lox bagel. Mmm it was so yummy. The bagel was perfectly chewy and the salmon, dill, capers were well balanced. I'd go back for it. I got the bourbon coffee, which has a more sophisticated name I can't remember. The ambiance was great! Very pretty interior, comfy chairs and WiFi. I was able to do work while I was there and was comfortable. read more

Felt really comfortable here and it being our first visit.... nice! Soft opening so majority of teas are not served yet but coming soon. Staff.... friendly and extremely helpful. Gave me options (tea drinker with no teas) so went for a vanilla milk steamer. Perfect blend and not overly sweet. Also ordered hot hazelnut latte (actually hot n not warm, big plus). Ample seating (attractive decor) and parking but icing on cake... they offer gf and vegan bakery options to their menu. We'll be back! read more

Piccolo Coffee - Smokey Maple (hot) and an iced spiced caramel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Artesia, California

I stopped by Piccolo Coffee while working in the area and ended up having one of the best coffee experiences I've had in a long time. I met Sarah, and wow -- she absolutely knows what she's doing. The coffee here is incredible. Hands down the best coffee in Artesia. I tried the iced coffee with their bourbon‑inspired syrup, and it was unreal. Smooth, balanced, and full of flavor without being overpowering. You can tell they put real care into what they serve. Whether you're local or just passing through, give them a shot. Great people, great coffee, great vibe. Thank you again, Sarah -- I'll definitely be coming back soon read more

I ordered a matcha pistachio croissant and this is my favorite croissant ever!! We also ordered a vietnamese coffee which was not too strong and not too sweet and had just the right amount of creaminess solid 8/10. The matcha jade strawberry, made with homemade strawberry puree was delicious. I like my strawberry not too sweet and the strawberry puree at the bottom gives a lot to the flavor. The service was very nice and quick as well. read more

I was so excited to try Piccolo this morning as I try all coffee shops in my hometown of Artesia. As I walked up to the store front a Hispanic woman with red highlights in her bangs closed the door and locked the door so abruptly stated "we're closed and will open in 5 minutes". Once I walked in I was greeted by the woman with blue hair and she definitely made up for the red. She was so sweet and welcoming! Gave us her recommendations & was just so happy to take our order. For being such a new business I think it's way too soon to be so comfortable being so rude and cold. The girl with the blue hair also mispronounced my latte and the girl with the red was so quick to say "What are you trying to say" again, extremely rude! I highly recommend the owner have a conversation with her. She looks extremely unhappy to work here and maybe it's just not for her. I hope it's just a bad day for her. read more

I've officially found my go-to neighborhood spot.
