    Really enjoyed my visit here! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the location is convenient with plenty of good parking. The cute industrial vibe gives the shop a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. The coffee was great, with a good variety of choices to choose from. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Really enjoyed Re Ca Phe! The matcha was smooth, creamy, and had a nice matcha flavor without being overly bitter or too sweet. I especially liked the matcha with the creamy foam on top--it added a nice richness and made the drink feel a little more special. The presentation was beautiful too. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a good iced matcha!

    Re Ca Phe specializes in Vietnamese Coffee. "Re" depending on content usually means slow or slowly. I personally see it as a negative growing up. However I imagine the business owners probably has it meaning slow down to enjoy their coffee and take it easy. Not a concept I understand growing up in America. We were in this plaza supporting another business when my boyfriend saw this coffee shop in the corner of the plaza and he was intrigued to come in. I'm down! They have limited seating inside and a small outdoor patio, that they were struggling to set up a TV for during the world cup. It was really crowded and stuffy. My boyfriend ordered the Vietnamese Coffee | 8 oz. ($5) and we were immediately warned it would come in this tiny cup. They were really busy so the drink actually took forever to be ready. That "re re" in action. In a bad way. When we got the drink, the drink itself didn't even fill that tiny cup. I was ready for the small 8 oz. portion but I don't feel like we got the full 8 oz. That tiny cup was mostly ice. Coffee was okay. Strong in a good way to me. Stay away if you don't enjoy strong coffee. The portion size feels insufficient and leaves you wanting another coffee elsewhere. Nice to try but I'm not looking to come back.

    Re Ca Phe seemed like a promising coffee shop to get my caffeine fix. Unfortunately, it completely missed my expectations. It's located in a plaza with other businesses. I went around 12:30 pm and it was a packed lot. The store itself was too busy and felt cramped. The space seems suitable for smaller groups. At the time, there was a line before you could order. It took almost 10 minutes for the order to be ready. American Express is accepted here. Sea Salt Coffee: This was on the signature section so I had big expectations for it. It was a very small drink (9 oz). It was slightly salted, tasted bitter, and wasn't sweet despite having condensed milk as an ingredient. It wasn't good. Canale: Despite having to wait for the drink, I needed to wait longer for this because the staff forgot to put it in the order. I needed to wait for them to prepare it in the back and also go back to the counter to charge for it. All to wait for something that was mushy. Coffee Beans: I saw there were coffee beans from Glitch in Japan. It was a brand that I loved there so I wanted to give it a try. I don't usually like fruity notes but this was really delicious. However, it's extremely pricy for how little beans there is.

    After multiple visits, I would say that Re Ca Phe tends to be a hit or miss. I've ordered their Earl Grey Matcha, Hojicha Latte w/ extra Hojicha, Marble Coffee and Blueberry Orange Tea. I would say the best drink I had was their Marble Coffee. But I love the ambience and I can see myself coming back to study! It's relatively quiet in there so it sets the mood. The staff is nice too.

    Earl Grey Matcha

    The inside looks cool and the environment is really chill inside. I got the Earl Grey Matcha and it was so delicious! I would recommend if you are in the area to check this place out. Also, service was great! Just fyi this place doesn't accept cash and is card only (the only thing I would change).

    Black Sesame Matcha and Earl Grey Matcha
    Carlo G.

    I was disappointed with the matcha here considering how popular this coffee shop is. I got the Black Sesame Matcha and it was pretty mid. There wasn't much matcha flavor and volume. It was pretty milky. The black sesame flavor was good and nutty. However, I wasn't a fan of the large grainy bits in the drink. The drinks are also on the pricier side, similar to what you would see in LA which doesn't really match the area and other nearby coffee shops. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a bathroom available. For parking, there's a good amount of free parking in the lot. I think this cafe is known more for their coffees and I would get that next time, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha.

    Ordered blueberry matcha 9/10 And a earl grey matcha 10/10 both with oat milk It was really tasty and not a lot of places do blueberry matcha which is why me and my bf had to give this cafe a try! The plaza has such good options as well. The interior is nice , small and cute and it wasn't that busy when we went but I can see how it can be busy. Definitely coming back to try more of their drinks !

    Black Sesame Latte and Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
    Shirley W.

    Small coffee shop, but love the aesthetic! I wouldn't say it's a great place to study, but it's a nice spot for you to chat with friends here. I ordered the black sesame latte and my bf got the vietnamese coffee. I like how they also 'warn' you about the size, because the size cups are tiny looool The vietnamese coffee especially is very tiny. Despite the size, I know the coffee is gonna hit hard if you're paying for a price of a regular size cup. The coffee is also very dark so you know it's gonna be very strong. I mainly wanted to try the black sesame latte and yep it was pretty good! The cream was veryyy nice and creamy. It definitely is very strong coffee because usually when I have extremely strong coffee, I start to sweat and get a headache, so yes they serve very strong coffee here. Don't let the size fool you. Small but mighty. Something you should also sip than chug. Overall, the coffee is good, but feel like it was just a one time try for me. I do enjoy a bigger size cup cause I feel its more worth it, even if the caffeine hit is as worth, I do enjoy more of the volume and it could be less concentrated. I respect it though! Cashier was nice and friendly.

    Coffee drinks were good, but the matcha and black sesame drink was just OK. Very heavy oat milk taste... not sure if they made it with the wrong ratios, but I've had better. Clean café though.

    Matcha earl grey
    Sandy H.

    Wanted to try a new spot in the area so came here to try their earl grey matcha. The earl grey cream top was tasty and fragrant. The drink itself was decent but I've had better earl grey matcha elsewhere. The price for the drink was quite steep at $8.50. Service was decent. There's some indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas.

    Wendy H.

    The Americano was good and strong enough to wake me up for work. Matcha latte was ok, not as smooth as I hoped. The staff were nice and friendly. The store is clean and well organized. We will come back to try the rest and chill outside :)

    Re Cà Phê is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which already makes it really convenient. The café itself has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the whole space feels cozy and aesthetic, making it such a nice place to just sit and take in the atmosphere. The workers are really nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I tried their Earl Grey Matcha Latte, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Not many places offer this combination, so whenever I see it on a menu, I have to try it. What I really liked about this one is how well balanced it is. The earl grey is light enough that it doesn't overpower the matcha, so you can actually taste both flavors clearly without one taking over the other. The Hojicha Vanilla Cream Latte was also really good. The cream on top was silky, smooth, and rich, adding a nice layer of sweetness that paired well with the roasted, nutty flavor of the hojicha. It made the drink feel really comforting and well put together.

    Ask the Community - Re Ca Phe

    Just to confirm, is sales tax already included in the menu price?

    Hi there, we don’t charge sales tax for to-go coffee at our shop (it is not required under California rules), so tax is not included!

    Is the matcha powder used purchasable?

    If I'm remembering correctly, I saw that they were selling Rocky's Matcha, the one in the blue tin! Not sure if that's what they use but the tins are on the right hand side on the wall from the cashier

    Do they offer gift cards?

    Yes

Despite the multitude of new cafes to try in the area, I always come back to Sip for their seasonal drinks. Every few months, they manage to come up with creative flavors that you can't find anywhere else. This Fall, they have Slutty Caramel Apple, Miso Maple, and Abuelita's Vietnamese Mocha, just to name a few. The drinks always look super cute and photogenic, but they taste even better than they look. I love that Sip makes their syrups and foams in-house and whisks their matcha to order, because you can really taste the freshness in the drinks. The matcha flavor is present, but not bitter like some of the more popular OC spots. This balance allows you to taste the seasonal flavors along with the matcha. Their espresso drinks are very smooth and do not taste acidic or burnt at all. There is almost always a line out the door when you visit on the weekends, but it moves quite quickly. Inside, Sip's decor is welcoming and unpretentious, with a picnic-style vibe. They always put up themed decorations and display some matcha, coffee beans, and merch for sale along the wall. Seating is limited, but there is usually a spot to sit while you wait for your drinks, either outside or inside. I have seen some people study/work in the seats near the bar, but I would not recommend because of the crowds. Sip is located in a large plaza, so there is plenty of parking. Sip is definitely worth a try (or ten)!

And if you're familiar with einspanner, essentially it's coffee with whipped cream in it. So that's exactly what I went for. The café is clean and trendy. The baristas are very sweet and after a few minutes my drink was ready. I gave it a little mix and took my first sip. I will say the coffee itself is strong. You can definitely taste the coffee, but it's something about the thickness of the whipped cream that didn't quite mix well with the coffee even after a good mix, the coffee is on the thicker side, which I didn't love. I believe I'm more of a cloud top person that's more airy, which is easier to get mixed in than a thicker cream. maybe I'll love it if I get it hot so that way the cream melts into the hot coffee, but having it iced isn't for me. I'll come back when it starts to get cold outside.

First off, the food was delicious. I've had A LOT of matcha and matcha fusion drinks, but the coconut matcha here is really unique and sooo good. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees and desserts was great. Some of our favorites were the garlic noodles with spicy sauce, seafood ceviche, squid and mango salad, and crab toast. The desserts were also surprisingly good. The banana bread pudding was amazing, and we really liked the frozen yogurt parfait. It's not your typical frozen yogurt dessert--I think it might be more of a Vietnamese-style yogurt--but whatever it is, it was delicious. What really stood out to me this time though was how kid friendly the place is. We have an infant and a toddler, and there was actually enough room around our seating to keep the stroller with us without feeling like we were completely in the way. I also really appreciated the music level. So many restaurants nowadays blast music to the point where you start wondering if it's too much for babies and toddlers. Here, they hit the sweet spot. Loud enough to create a nice vibe, but not so loud that we were worried about the kids. Service was exceptional too. And trust me, kids can make a mess lol. Our toddler spilled a drink and our waiter was so understanding about it. More importantly, you could tell it was genuine. There was no judgment, no annoyed reaction, nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. When you're dining out with little kids, that kind of attitude from the staff really makes a difference. I already liked this place before having kids, but I honestly didn't expect the experience to be even better coming back as a family. Great food, really good drinks, amazing service, and surprisingly kid friendly. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.
