The good: Yes, I suppose I do like Repose! I had a butterscotch latte hot, strawberry iced latte, ube croffin (croissant muffin) and a vanilla/honey steamer (for the toddler). They have a lot of cold signature coffee drinks. The music was bumping (I enjoyed hearing Telegraph - Childish Gambino). The ambience was modern, trendy and cool. The drinks were delicious with unique flavor options. They were aesthetically pleasing as well. The server was really nice. The ube dessert tasted like it had real pieces of taro inside. It was tasty and not overly sweet. They had other yummy pastry options too in their small display cabinet/bread drawer thing. The bad: The server didn't announce to us that the order was ready when 3 of the 4 items were ready but perhaps she was waiting for the entire order to be ready together. The interesting: They had super cute hand-drawn dog paintings on the windows. read more

Sunday morning drive on the way home and stopped to get some coffee. Enter Repose Coffee, staff were great and welcoming. Helped with picking out the drinks. Blueberry Matcha - 4.5/5 Biscoff Latte - 5/5 Vanilla Latte - 5/5 I think she mentioned in house syrup so that's always good. Pistachio Croissant - 3.5/5 Downside was that the drinks took awhile to be made, but that also shows that it's great place because they were busy. Seemed short staffed but they were honest in how long the drinks would take. Estimated 15-20 minutes which was accurate. Would come back again. read more

If you don't like their drinks... don't expect them to offer a refund or a remake... they get angry and upset at you for not being happy about it.. I never felt so gaslit before at a coffee shop.. now I don't feel comfortable coming back.. so sad ),: As an ex-barista... I was very disappointed in their lack of hospitality. And when I re-ordered an iced Spanish latte they replied, "do you even know what's in a Spanish latte?" ... very crazy that they'd just "quiz" their customers.. and obviously I know what it is because I've been a barista for 1+ years.. (condensed milk, cinnamon, espresso & milk).. read more

This place is very clean and minimalistic! I like how open the space is and there's plenty of seating for studying or catching up with friends. They mainly do drinks here, coffee or teas, but they also offer two paninis: turkey pesto or tomato caprese. I ordered an unsweetened matcha latte iced, and they offer alternative milks upon request. The bar is easily seen behind the glass so you can watch the staff make your order. Overall, the pricing is on par with most places in the area. My order took a while to come out but it's hand whisked when I ordered. I wish it was a little stronger since the flavor of the matcha didn't really come through compared to the milk. Also, the matcha isn't mixed well enough since it's separating quickly. I have to stir it again every time I want to drink. They have loyalty cards but do not offer them right away. You have to request one when you place your order. read more

Had a great experience at Repose Coffee! The customer service was wonderful, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Spanish latte and it was amazing. The presentation was beautiful and you could tell a lot of care went into making it. Definitely a spot I look forward to coming back to! read more

I really really love the honey oat latte and come back all the time to get it. I did try their ganache mocha but it was a little too sweet for me. I wasn't a fan of the everything croissant with cream cheese as it just tasted weird and wasn't warmed up completely; but since they're a coffee shop I'll rank them based on their drinks. The baristas are so sweet and friendly and the interior is clean and spacious! read more

This spot is so adorable! So glad I came across it when I did. A coworker and I stopped by for a quick catch-up but stayed for a long while talking and admiring the chill vibe of this cafe. From the outside, Repose Coffee looks small but there's so much seating available inside. It's the perfect environment for studying due to its quietness.. I'm just not sure if there are outlets available. The staff was really sweet and made great suggestions when I couldn't decide on what to order. My coworker got a hot hojicha latte, and I got the biscoff cream latte. The hot hojicha was so tasty! Perfect sweetness level. The biscoff cream latte was also good! I love the bits of cookie once the biscuit melts into the milk. I'll definitely be back for a latte and sweet treat soon! read more

Wanted to find a good coffee place I was waiting for our daughter's bridal shower to end. Dads don't go to bridal showers by the way. Came in here and got what I think I remember to be the Bischoff latte and it was very tasty. Not too sweet cream at the top with a bishop cookie floating on top. I also got the queen of mine, which is the biggest one I've ever seen and the heated up for me very flavorful. I bought my future son-in-law an iced coffee, which is his favorite and he enjoyed that. The environment is clean, nice jazz music in the background and friendly service. read more

Rating Breakdown: 5 Stars for my First visit 3 stars for Today's drink 2 stars for Customer service I came here for the second time because I happened to walk by and remembered how much I loved it the first time. Back then, I randomly ordered a matcha, and I was so impressed watching the staff prepare it--it felt like they were creating a piece of art. The matcha was absolutely delicious, and that experience really stayed with me. Today, the drink itself was still good, so no complaints there. However, the customer service was really disappointing. There were plenty of empty seats, and I stood at the front waiting for a while. This actually happened during my first visit too, but today I was the only customer there, which made it more surprising. The staff member didn't seem attentive or interested in helping me, and I didn't feel welcomed at all. Even after I received my drink and said thank you, I was completely ignored. That left a really negative impression, especially considering I tipped generously. I honestly hope I can come back and be served by the guy who made my drink the first time. The care and detail he put into it made a lasting impression. read more

Repose Coffee - I love this Matcha and finished quick. Maybe get less ice next time. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Placentia, California

TLDR: very cute cafe, lots of seating, i recommend not the hojicha Very festive cafe next to a Ralphs. I love the decoration, the vibes, and they have pastries if you need a little treat with your coffee. That said, I recommend any other drink than the hojicha. The hojicha was very watery, the cream top was watery, and the pistachios on top made it grainy throughout. read more

Super cute, cozy cafe. Parking is ample as it's located in a shopping plaza. Good amounts of seats to hang with friends or do some work. Girls working at the time were really nice and I was greeted with a smile and helped out right away. Considering it was a busy morning when I went, the drinks came out pretty fast and there were only the two of them. Got one of their specialty drinks, strawberry shortcake, and it is the perfect amount of sweetness and looks super cute too! I would come back just for this drink, but I'm curious about the rest of their delicious-seeming menu. Menu also includes bakery items, so I would try one of those on my next visit too! read more

Repose Coffee - Strawberry Shortcake, just the perfect amount of sweet and super cute! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Placentia, California

Their matcha is not good. Tastes like milk, and the owner gave me a really hard time when I asked her if she could fix my drink because I couldn't taste the matcha. I asked her politely--I work in the service industry, too. She said she'd charge me for another drink if she remade it, so I just asked for a refund. If you're a fan of real matcha like Airoma, Stereoscope or Sip, this is not the place. Haven't tried their coffee though. read more

Was in need of something new for my work from home and decided to try a new coffee shop! PARKING: Easy, at least on a weekday WHAT I ORDERED: Iced strawberry shortcake latte THE DRINK: To be honest, I was skeptical ... who in their right mind would think of something like that? But I was not disappointed. The strawberry actually worked really well with the roastedness of the espresso, and the crumbs on top complimented that combination with the cream, which wasn't too sweet. Kinda tastes like jam filled cookies. SERVICE: Very sweet! I asked some questions about the menu and they were happy to answer them. VIBES: Pretty average-sized and I think it was a good place to study/work. Here's my work-from-cafe checklist: * OUTLETS: Yes, but few * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, fast * VOLUME: Pretty standard * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Not a ton, but a fair amount of seats along the wall (pics others have uploaded show this pretty well) * BATHROOMS: Yes * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions I saw BOTTOM LINE: Solid place. I wouldn't count on there being seating with outlets 100% so not sure if this is a go-to for WFH but definitely still good for it if you can find a seat and have some juice in your laptop. Craving that strawberry latte right now actually.... read more

Repose Coffee has such a cute, modern vibe! The staff was super friendly -- my cashier even helped me find a better deal on my order without me asking. Love that! The matcha with oat milk and cold cream was good, though I'd love a stronger matcha flavor next time. Only downside -- there's a $1 charge for oat milk, so just a heads up! Will be back to explore more of the menu! ​​​​​​​​ read more

Got the matcha latte with sugar free syrup, mediocre at almost $7 bucks. I asked to readjust with more syrup but still really bland. They did make it with ceremonial matcha but the consistency of the latte was sort of thick but bland ? Anyway the spot is cute and a place where you can work/study since it's quiet and clean. read more

I stopped by to pick up coffee for my friend and myself. It's a cute little spot near Ralph's. I got the strawberry shortcake for my friend and the matcha with the cold foam and vanilla for myself. The strawberry shortcake was REALLY tasty. The strawberry really came through and paired well with the coffee. The matcha was strong in a good way and was sweet enough without being too sweet. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area! read more

Repose Coffee is a newer speciality coffee shop located in the Placentia area. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. I stopped by for a matcha and yap sesh with the homies. Inside, they have a modern and minimalist setup with a good amount of seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different coffee, matcha, and tea drinks to choose from. They also have a new hojicha menu as well. I opted for the Double Hojicha Latte and it was a bit grainy but had a nice roasty flavor profile without being too sweet. Overall, I enjoyed the calm and chill vibes they got going on here. It is definitely a great place to come study, meet up with some friends, or just to grab a drink. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. Send this place to your biggest yapping friends and come check them out! read more

I feel very indifferent to Repose. As a fellow barista, I get that EVERY coffee shop is gonna have a different vibe, but Repose just wasn't hitting that mark for me. With tip, my drink came out to 9.40. Oof. That's quite steep. Yes, I got the cold foam matcha, but I felt that the price wasn't on par with the quality. Again, this is coming from a barista who works at a place who also sells matcha. The vibes were very quiet. The staff seemed nice, and I managed to have a little chatter with one of the baristas, but it overall felt like something was missing here. I think there's a lot of opportunity for growth, though, and reading the other reviews, it seems mutual. I don't feel the need to come back to this particular coffee place, especially since there's so many within a few miles radius, but I wish them luck! read more

This the cutest and coziest cafe! I came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was no line. There is ample parking in the conjoined parking lot. There is a unisex bathroom available. Ambiance: The inside was nicely decorated and gave homey vibes. There were several tables and chairs available for patrons to sit. The cafe was fairly busy with several people studying. This is definitely a great cafe to study in. Service: The workers were very nice and service was quick. Cold foam matcha: All the matcha drinks come with ceremonial grade matcha and are hand-whisked! The drink had a strong vanilla flavor and a mild matcha flavor. It was creamy and not grainy or watery. Overall, the cafe was very cute and I would recommend! This is a great place to study or catch up with friends. read more

Wanted to try a new coffee shop so came in this morning. This plaza has plenty of parking and the space itself is very clean, minimalist, with plenty of seating. I decided to try a hot PSL (their syrup is made in house) & the barista mentioned it was on the sweeter side so I asked for it less sweet. Upon my first sip, I thought it tasted delicious (I could taste the espresso and the PSL spices) but wasn't sweet enough so I asked for an extra pump, which they were happy to accommodate. Great service and staff. Would love to come back! read more

Overpriced and you get only half a cup of drink if you ask for light ice prices higher than all other options within a 10 minute drive. Quality of the drinks are just so so and not consistent. Clean place and friendly servers but not worth the price. Won't be coming back read more

NEW STUDY SPOT IN NORTH OC!! I was pleasantly surprised with how cute the interior is. It reminds me of the korean cafes in LA so I'm glad to see there's finally one with similar vibes in OC :-) Free wifi, abundant seating & parking, some outlets, and overall great ambiance! I can see this being a popular study spot among students and anyone who wfh! What we ordered: - Strawberry Shortcake - lightly caffeinated, made with high-quality strawberry puree/syrup, house-made cream top tastes like cheese foam - Cold Foam Matcha - more of a vanilla matcha, house-made cream top with matcha powder, perfect if you like your matcha 50-75% sweet - Strawberry Matcha - strawberry overpowers the matcha, pretty sweet so i recommend getting it at 50-75% sweet, not bad though! - Matcha Pistachio croissant - regular croissant with coating that tastes like white chocolate Although their menu didn't wow me, they just opened so I know they're still adjusting and am excited to see how they progress. Will always support a small business & be back soon! read more

You guys are some liars in the comments saying this is worth the price. Honestly I would prefer going to lamb and coffee in Brea, instead of here. At least there I can validate an 8 dollar cup of coffee because you're actually getting a quad shot and a 24oz drink! Here you get 8oz and half of it is cream top. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else unless you trying to get taxed. Not worth the money and the atmosphere feels hostile. read more

My husband & I have been looking forward to trying this spot out as it's walking distance from our home & it's safe to say we're looking forward to making this a regular spot. We were warmly berated upon antiviral which was nice. My husband had a regular hot latte & I had an iced Spanish latte & we both loved our drinks! They did take a few minutes to come out, but I'd happily wait if the drinks turn out delicious which they did. Looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

It saddens me to say that I did not enjoy my drink. I was excited to support a small business and even more excited when they had Hojicha on the menu which I tried previously from a different coffee shop and I loved it, but unfortunately the Hojicha from this cafe was not good and I had to throw it away. I most likely won't be returning. read more

I was happy to visit this coffee shop. The service is excellent, space is fairly clean with some wiping down needing to happen. The pastries were $6.95 except for the morning bun which I think was $5.95? I ordered the mocha ganache ($6.75). Drink came out quick, but I was there at 8:15am on a Monday. No one else was there. Drink was fine, not terrible, not exciting. Worth checking out. read more

It's been around a year so I decided to give this place a chance again. I got the iced matcha with honey and almond milk and it was delicious! I remember last time the matcha quality was just alright but you can tell they've really stepped up their game with the type of matcha they're using. I also really enjoyed the ambience this time and the employees were all very kind and helpful. Will definitely have to start stopping by more when I'm in the mood for a matcha as I would say this is one of the better spots in the area. read more

Repose Coffee - Iced Matcha with Honey and Almond Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Placentia, California

Repose coffee is a welcome addition to a mostly coffee-starved area of Placentia. Having taken over the old boba spot, this place serves good coffee and matcha options with a minimalist interior and limited seating options. This place is above average in many aspects, though nothing quite stands out for me hence the 4 star review. The iced coffee and sparkling lemonade options are our go-to's and many others seem to recommend the matcha foam. Service has been spotty- which is fine considering how new this place is. Also due to seating it's not a great study spot due to the sheer volume of sound that travels inside here. Otherwise a nice grab and go or short sit down type of coffee place. read more

Repose Coffee - Minimalist Vibe 5/5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Placentia, California

Coffee was great! The strawberry shortcake wasn't too sweet and I liked the addition of the graham cracker crumbs on top. The bf would score the biscoff latte a 7/10. I've heard good things about their ganache mocha so I would love to try that next time I'm in town. The star of the show was the pastry kouign amann (pronounced queen aman). Flakey, buttery, caramelized pastry goodness. A bit messy to eat, I would only say that it should be toasted a teeney bit more since the inside was cold while the outside was nice and warm. The ambience is quiet and simple, with nice instrumental music. Personally I hate coffee shops that do the all wooden furniture because I find it uncomfortable, but it looks nice. They sell some cute trinkets and stickers and have wifi. The service was short, sweet to the point, not overly friendly. read more

This place is a bit of a hidden gem! The interior is super clean, perfect for a weekend coffee stop. I ordered the Earl Supreme Grey, and it was light, refreshing, and what I was craving.

Decent coffee. Had the Biscoff cream latte and a dirty matcha latte here. In terms of uniqueness, the Biscoff cream latte was very good. Not super sweet and crafted really well. Cinnamon and condensed milk really came together with the coffee. Coffee quality is good, but nothing to write home about. Matcha latte was in a similar boat. Good, but nothing to write home about. I think this place is a little too expensive for the quality of drinks they serve. $18 for two drinks is a little insane to me. read more

This coffee shop is really cute and seems like the perfect study or work spot, but my matcha latte was not good. I really hate paying $7+ for milk...could barely taste the matcha. If you're a true matcha lover I don't recommend this place for matcha, but I'd be open to coming back and trying their other drinks! read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of parking available. A few tables inside but every single one of them including the bar tops that face the front windows were all occupied. There appeared to be a few tables available outside as well. No wait to order and the baristas were very friendly. Ordered a strawberry shortcake, iced chocolate, and biscoff cream latte. We were even given the option to order half sweet. Even at regular sweetness, the drinks were delicious and not overly sweet. Unfortunately there didn't appear to be any pastries available. read more
