*Iced Double Matcha (Less Sweet, Oat Milk) *Iced Belgium Mocha (Oat Milk)
Marisa Q.

Piccolo Coffee *March 7th, 2026 *9am- Saturday *3 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot *Outdoor and Indoor Seating *Small and Dirty Interior Food/Drink: *Iced Double Matcha (Less Sweet, Oat Milk) *Iced Belgium Mocha (Oat Milk) Stopped by this morning after doing some grocery shopping. I appreciated that the plaza was large with plenty of parking spaces. The drinks were pretty good overall, though they do lean on the sweeter side. I ordered the Iced Belgium Mocha and Iced Double Matcha with less sweetness, which helped, but it was still a little sweet for my taste. The matcha itself was also on the smaller side for the price and cost me an additional $0.75 charge for an alternative milk substitute, it felt a bit pricey for the portion size. The atmosphere inside wasn't quite what I expected for a cafe in Brea. The interior felt a bit small and a little dirty, and I could see it becoming difficult to move around if it got more crowded. The walkway to order drinks is also the same path staff members use to access the back, which only leaves enough space for one person at a time. Overall, the drinks were prettysolid, but the space itself could use an update.

Finally made it back here and tried the pistachio rose latte. It was very floral which I don't mind but I did not taste much pistachio flavor at all which was kinda disappointing. I think a pistachio cold foam would probably be better than combining both flavors since the rose is so much more overpowering. Service was decent.

Strawberry Jade Matcha and double matcha
Andrea R.

Walked in Sunday afternoon and it was empty. This seems like a good spot to study alone, tables were little small. We came to try their matcha. I got the double and my fiance the strawberry. The matcha will do in a pinch. It was around $7.50 each. The quality of the matcha was not the greatest more gritty and bitter, leaving a powdery covering over your tongue. The puree is delicious. Their coffee did look good will prob try that the next time (:

Great little spot. The Matcha Latte I had wasn't amazing but .. I can't complain Really cute place though with nice outdoor seating as well

Lox bagel
Dave C.

Small quaint and clean coffee shop located adjacent to Target in Brea. Having found Piccolo from Yelp- we decided to stop in and try some of their tasty bagel and coffee offerings. The lox and avocado bagels were delicious and we enjoyed the matcha latte as well. Super friendly service too. Would recommend Piccolo for your local bagel/brunch and coffee needs!

Matcha CreamTop and Raspberry Cruffin
Deanna R.

I ordered a Matcha CreamTop Latte and Raspberry Cruffin. The raspberry cruffin was incredible, so good! The matcha latte left something to be desired, and I expected it to be sweeter considering it was Einspanner-style. I worked from this cafe for a few hours and found it a great place to work! It wasn't too noisy, and the wifi worked perfectly fine. They have seating, but it is limited, so get there around opening if you need guaranteed seating!

Matcha CreamTop Einspanner (Cream Latte)
Catherine Z.

Great cream top matcha and latte!! We also tried one of their holiday season drinks peppermint mocha and it wasn't as tasty as their cream top drinks. Would definitely return for their cream top matcha and latte!

Vietnamese coffee Kouign pastry with a passion fruit custard
Yvette V.

Vietnamese coffee - strong and sweet just how I like it. Kouign-amann - Deeeelicious sweet passion fruit croissant. Lox Bagel very tasty and 1st I had it with a spritz of lemon which made it taste even better. Very fresh as well as the everything bagel. Light and airy.

Avocado bagel to-go
Shawna G.

The bagel sandwiches are very good. Love the touch of adding lemon wedges. I would never think to squeeze lemon juice on a bagel at home, but it works!

Pistachio Rose Latte
Vera L.

This coffee spot is hidden in the corner of the Target plaza. I ordered the Pistachio Rose latte but it didn't have any hint of pistachio taste. Each sip of mine was filled with rose petals. It was just ok, tasted more of the cardamom overall.

We got to give this place another try on our way to Disney and I wanna say my second time here was definitely 10/10. The spiced Carmel omg it's so different but so delicious it has like this kinda Asian taste idk I can't describe the spice lol. Also they had a lot more customers and seems like they have people loving the bagels & pastries. When I'm craving that spiced carmel again I'll definitely come back!

Matcha
Krystal J.

I'm not sure where they get their matcha from but it taste bland. You can't even taste it and it's so watered down. The cream top is supposed to make it a little sweet but the blandness is too strong.

strawberry matcha

Ugh. Burnt milk. I could've made a better latte at home. What a waste. But they did serve me quick.

Love the brew, the staff is very welcoming and friendly, and the shop itself is a nice space to relax, study, or even hang with friends. Enchanted Coffee hits all of the marks of a solid, local coffee spot. As noted above, Enchanted Coffee is located in Downtown Brea. There isn't really any parking right in front of the shop, but the downtown area has a handful of free parking garages for visitors to access the businesses in general. The establishment offers various drinks from coffee to matcha to refreshers to teas. They also have a limited number of food items that complement these drinks such as pastries, bagels, etc. I've tried their Berry Vegan donut and it was so tasty. My go to drink has been a basic latte. Although it's not one of the fancier drinks, the coffee speaks for its self, and it's great. I can only imagine what the speciality drinks taste like. The shop has a small seating section. Everytime I've stopped in, there has always been a good mix of people studying and family/friends hanging out. Definitely a super welcoming vibe. If you're interested in stopping by, do yourself a favor and go. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

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.

The bread is soft, the garlic flavor is just right, and the cream cheese filling brings everything together perfectly. Their coffee drinks are also consistently good. My personal favorite is the Smokin' Spaniard, probably because I'm a sucker for anything made with condensed milk. It's rich, smooth, and just sweet enough without being over the top. On a recent visit, I decided to try their new Pineapple Express. It was a hot day, and I was in the mood for something fruity and refreshing without any caffeine. It was decent - light and refreshing, though it didn't quite stand out as much as their coffee drinks for me. Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries and coffee spots. Between the delicious pastries, solid drinks, and cozy atmosphere, it's a place I find myself returning to again and again.

Philz Coffee is a wonderful addition to the ever-expanding Brea Mall…read more I've tried their Tiramisu Latte. Surprisingly super smooth for an iced latte. Rich and creamy tiramisu flavor with perfect balance of coffee flavor. Not powdery at all. I've also had their Iced Mint Mojito which is minty and refreshing with bold coffee flavor. My new favorite is their Campfire S'mores. Great blend of coffee & cream, marshmallow swirl, cinnamon, and cocoa flavor. There's also marshmallows on top but haven't actually eaten them as I usually just sip through their lid. Service has been great. Baristas are super friendly. Drinks would arrive within a few minutes. When they hand the drink, they'd tell me to let them know if the drink is perfect or how the drink is. They'll also ask if I would like a lid. There's plenty of indoor seating although usually packed with patrons. There's also a few tables outside. I love their coffee drinks. Will be back for another visit.

The Bottom Line Up Front: In a world filled with…read morecorporations masquerading as sophisticated boutiques, Philz is a growing chain that still retains a cozy atmosphere while serving up great coffee. I've been to other Philz, but this review will focus on this Brea location. The Drink: I got the seasonal salted caramel cold brew and it was delicious. Picture Starbucks' caramel macchiato but less sweet and with less acidic espresso. This Philz drink was smooth and creamy, with enough caffeine kick to keep me powered throughout the day. The Service: Our barista was very knowledgeable and offered a few suggestions and a couple of samples so that I could make the right selection. Grade A service! The Setting: Located in the new section of Brea Mall, this Philz location is a freestanding building so you have to walk outside of the mall to access it from the southwest side. There's no street parking, so you'll need to park in the large parking structure across from Nordstrom (currently...but they are doing more construction so this could change in the future). The Conclusion: As part of a franchise that doesn't act like one, the Brea location of Philz offers great coffee with excellent customer service.

My friend and I kept going back and forth trying to decide between one of their seasonal summer drinks and something else because we knew we didn't really want another latte. The staff was incredibly patient and actually took the time to understand what we were looking for. They ended up making us a frozen banana drink with cold brew instead of espresso, and it was exactly what we wanted. Honestly, it might have been even better than the original version! That level of customer service really stood out. They didn't just make a drink--they helped us find something we'd genuinely enjoy. Both the espresso and the cold brew were incredibly smooth with no bitterness at all, and every drink tasted well-balanced.

Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe.

The drinks barely tasted like strawberry and we were disappointed. I immediately regretted upgrading my size to 20oz too. SO I looked up other recent yelp reviews, and I saw that someone posted a picture of their drink 17 hours ago and it was still pink. That makes me question what happened to our drinks.
