I ordered the strawberry lemon ade. It was the worst lemonade... ever. No flavor, tasted like club soda and minimal amounts of syrup. I won't say it was disgusting, but totally regretted paying for sh*t. The pastry was ok. Not warmed or fresh tasting or anything special. The crumbs were good. Reminded me of Randy's Donut crumbs glaze. But half as good. The environment is noisy with the coffee burner going, ton of space for people to sit and meet and hang out. Its clean and bright and roomy. Wish I ordered something else.
I forgot to take a picture of this before we cut into the cake, but here is my slice. The cake itself is very fluffy and light. I think this bakery is Korean owned. The flavor and the strawberries are incredibly fresh. Super tasty. This is packed with a ton of whipped cream on top and in between. I think would've enjoyed a little bit more sponge cake than the cream itself but nonetheless, it was really tasty! They packed a to go little celebration where they give you a plastic knife, and some candles in case you forget.
I love this place! From outside impressions to the interior, this cafe has a clean, aesthetically pleasing design and atmosphere! I love how spacious, yet minimalist it is--which I know is hard to find in today's world of coffee and tea shops! The place has tons and various forms of seating: couches, booths, tables, and even a full size, glass meeting room! The drinks were pleasant in taste and texture as well. I ordered the banana matcha latte, while me friend had their pineapple ade drink. Both drinks were great: smooth, fairly sweet, and visually appealing! One thing that this place does differently is the flavor. I could really taste the organic, fruity banana Base in my matcha and the pineapple in the pineapple ade had a strong, but not overwhelming, centered essence! The menu has a wide selection and there's a drink for every preference. There are a lot of options available for desserts and baked goods too if you are also looking for a place with good eats--although I haven't tried any of their pastries yet. I think this makes for a perfect solo or group study place since it's such a clean, quiet, and spacious environment! The music is more lowkey and the staff aren't as social--making this cafe a great productivity workshop!
Ordered from the kiosk and got a text when the drinks were ready. The strawberry thing was yummy. It wasnt too sweet and it was a little salty . But it mightve been the same bread they use for other items. Between banana and blueberry matcha, i prefer the blueberry one. The matcha wasnt bad foe both. Also this place is enormous. They had multiple places to order items. I came when they were closing so they didnt have all the items in stock. Bathrooms are all the way in the back.
Their space is huge and has such a good vibe. There's so much seating but we went on a time when there was a clothing store pop up that it occupied half of the seating area. I ended up getting the iced grapefruit black tea and it was refreshing. It wasn't crazy sweet either, just a really nice balance. I also grabbed this matcha pastry that's shaped like a cone (forgot what it was called) because it looked too cool to pass up. The matcha flavor was super rich and the pastry was perfectly flaky.The only bummer is that I missed out on trying their salt bread this time - but i'll be back!
Salt bread with cream: Cream is really thick. i prefer the original flavor compared to the matcha flavor. The bread is also tough, it took awhile for me to cut through bread with their fork and knife. Salt bread with matcha cream: You can taste the matcha and there's a slight bitterness. Banana Latte (less sweet): I think the banana milk already has some sweetness and there's also syrup added for the additional sweetness. If you're used to just drinking Americano then this would be slightly sweeter for your taste.
Decent coffee shop/bakery located at the Source OC. To drink, I got their Peach Lemon Iced Tea and it was a bit too sweet. I think they used way too much syrup in my drink. The flavor was solid, just way too sugary. Refreshing though. To eat, my friend and I shared a Strawberry Cream Croissant. It wasn't fresh and that was reflective in the pastry itself, but the cream was light and the strawberries were sweet and juicy. It would be nice if the croissant was warmed up and this was put together fresh, but it felt like it was sitting out for a while. The cafe interior is huge and spacious. Despite its size, the cafe was still busy and packed on a Sunday afternoon. It took a while to get our order. I would recommend adding even more seating and tables. Parking is free and covered at the Source.
Huge, airy space with a bakery and coffe/tea counter. You order at the kiosk which is pretty simple, but the staff greeted me and answered my questions so you still have human interaction. Had a hot double matcha and an iced blueberry matcha, loved both! You can customize your drink's sweetness level, amount of ice, etc at the kiosk which was great.
Went to Seed Water during their soft opening and haven't been back since but figured I should still put in a review because during their soft opening they were doing really good! We got the strawberry matcha and peach sparkling drink. Matcha was 4/5 with not being too strong Peach flavor drink with sprite. Wasn't too bad, glad it was half off at the time otherwise I probably wouldn't spend too much on it. Staff were great and easy to order from. Can't wait to go now with their bakery open and all.
I'm a TOTAL sweet tooth and I can tell you their pastries are really good. Their coffee is fairly decent though I don't have it pictured. I think there it lacks is their pricing. Similar to a lot of places around the area here, it obviously can get pretty darn expensive. It's quick service so their service is what you'd expected it's solid, courteous, and to the point. Ambiance is great, I do like the amount of chairs and tables they have along with their loungers. I think though, for the size, it could be cheaper or they can make them bigger.
5/10 Matcha So Geum Ppang - I asked for a different bread and they gave me this one instead, so I ended up having to try it anyway. It honestly sucked. It's boring with literally no flavor and I would never get this again. 10/10 Matcha Twirl - This was clearly the star of the show. It was creamy and super matcha-y, and I'd definitely get this again. 7/10 Cinnamon Sugar Twist - My friend was the one who wanted this, so that's fine. I tried it too, it was aight. You can get this pretty much anywhere, so there's nothing spectacular about it. Cost - Matcha So Geum Ppang $3.99, Matcha Twirl $5.50, Cinnamon Sugar Twist $3.75
This place is very big, tons of seating Lots of drink options and pastries Kiosk and counter ordering available Pleasant staff Ordered a couple of pastries They were decent, looks pretty
My experience was very good. There was a decent amount of bakery items and plenty of drink options to choose from. What left an amazing impression on me the most was how refreshing the drinks were. If they sold the drinks by the gallon I would love to take some home and drink throughout the week. The pastries tasted very good and subtle and not overly sweet. Which allows enjoyment of the taste.

8-31-2026 Service is fast, and the kiosks are conveniently placed in the front. The café is huge, and it was my second time here. I got the blueberry oat-milk matcha, and it was like the perfect amount of sweetness. I liked it a lot, but the drink is so tiny for the price. Sigh. read more

I've been to Seed Water Coffee multiple times for gatherings, and one thing I really like about this place is the amount of seating. There are plenty of tables, so it works well for meetings, group gatherings, or just casually hanging out. They also have a good selection of pastries and drinks. The bakery items I've tried have been pretty good, but I personally wasn't as impressed with the drinks, especially considering the price. I've tried their matcha, sparkling drinks, and regular coffee. Among them, the matcha was probably the most disappointing for me. If you're a serious matcha lover, I wouldn't really recommend coming here specifically for the matcha. read more

Located in The Source mall, this place has very convenient parking. The coffee shop itself is spacious with plenty of seating. What I especially like is that they have large tables that are great for business meetings or study groups, along with more private rooms for a quieter atmosphere. They offer a wide variety of bread and cakes, and the quality is good overall. The service was good as well. It's a comfortable spot to relax, study, or meet with friends. read more
This new Korean bakery and cafe is gonna give Porto's a run for their money. Seed & Water is just down the street from Knott's Berry Farm, at the Source outdoor mall in Buena Park. Their space is absolutely massive to stay awhile and get some work done or catch up with friends. Don't even get me started on all the different kinds of breads and cakes they have...it was just display case after display case of so many yummy pastries! They have the viral Korean salt breads with the crispy bottom, and you CANNOT leave without getting one of their cream donuts. The strawberry matcha latte and ube latte are also delish for drinks. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more
Such a spacious cafe/bakery/pastry shop. it was crowded but since it is spacious you wouldn't really elbow other customers you can either self order or place your oder on the counter with the crewZ They are well staffed. The tiramisu cake and the chocolate croissants were heavenly. I also ordered a lemon yuzu spirit (i think). They do have a lot of other pastry offered but that tiramisu was just perfection. maybe a little cleaning would help. like the tables need some good wiping, and small trashes on the floor needs to be attending. other wise, pastry food was good, drink was great and location was perfect. parking could be a little tricky. but i do see myself coming back read more
came here on a whim and to escape the heat honestly, but the establishment is huge with tons of pastries and drinks to choose from and lots of seating for a casual spot to wind down. we ordered on one of the many large tablet kiosks they have and the process was quick and easy. -banana cream bread: 7/10 a thick almost icing like cream with an artificial banana flavor on a somewhat soft milk bread. was definitely expecting a more soft/fluffy bread with an airy banana whipped cream but it was quite the opposite -earl grey blueberry tart: 7/10 nice fresh blueberries on top of this thick sticky earl grey cream almost like dulce de leche, it was super sweet but the earl grey flavor was good. tart crust was a bit hard and dry -banana matcha latte: 6/10 artificial banana flavor/syrup with very little matcha flavor and it was super watery. not sweet at all either which was surprising given the banana flavor was so prominent -matcha einspanner: 8/10 decent matcha einspanner, not too sweet and the drink was actually creamy and had good matcha flavor read more
Great place to meet up with friends or get some work done. Pros: the place is spacious! There's plenty of seating with different lounge areas and even a conference room. I like how when you order on the big screen it asks how you want your drink to be made - more ice, less ice, more sweet, less sweet, and even what type of roast you want. They play relaxing jazz music. They're open late (until 11pm) and they also have a big menu with lots of variety to choose from with good pricing. Cons: they don't currently have WiFi set up so I had to use my hotspot. I was looking for something savory so I ordered the garlic cream cheese sourdough bread to take home and share with my neighbors because it was pretty big but I feel like I got bamboozled, it was super sweet and didn't taste like cream cheese at all. read more

The cream filled salt bread here is delicious... but the cream itself carries. I also LOVED the hot Americano here -- we got a medium roast and it was genuinely delicious. The first time I had it was close to closing. Honestly, it was pretty stale but the cream was light, fluffy, so fragrant with the milk flavor. We were hooked on it. I also got the montblanc which was pretty good, nothing crazy. Definitely dry but I liked it with some hot tea. The chocolate salt bread was so stale it was almost inedible though, and it lacked a filling sadly. We went back a few days later and got the milk salt bread again along with the matcha salt bread. The matcha one actually blows the milk one out of the water. And that time as well, the milk one was ONLY FILLED A QUARTER OF THE WAY. We were very disappointed. And the top of the bread has a dollop of banana? Very strange and threw us off. It is a beautiful space regardless with clean bathrooms. I will say that the bread always seems to be on the stale side so they definitely need to keep refining their food. Their selection and presentation is pretty awesome though! read more
A really nice spacious area to sit and hang out indoors, not common to find this spacious of a spot around so this is nice! There are booths, open seats and also a conference room available for more private seating. You can order with the staff or on the kiosks available. The drinks are better than their pastry items as they do roast their own coffee on site! I got their specialty S&W latte as well as the choco-strawberry latte. Both had a very smooth coffee flavor which was really nice! You can even customize if you want the espresso to be medium, medium dark or dark roast, so it's customizable to your liking. As for pastries, they had 6 salt bread for $20, where you can choose between the matcha and/or original salt bread. You can also request for them to heat it up for you if eating at the café too. The bread was okay, matcha was better as it was more buttery and crispy. I also got the Nutella banana croissant which was pretty sweet but a decent sized croissant. Staff were all friendly and helpful! Great ambiance but if you're there to study, can make you sleepy too with all the coffee roasting background noise and quiet chatters. read more
Was going to get bakery items but my daughter pointed out the flies in the case. Actual flies, not fruit flies. Landing on the croissants and cakes so we didn't get anything. Got a Blueberry ade. Put less ice but there's so much ice plus was empty three inches smh. Tasted so bland like water with a blueberry essence lol read more

The source has really stepped up its game with opening more trendy spots, and Seed Water for sure lives up to the hype! With its big open concept layout Seed water offers it's no wonder why the crowd come in to lounge and enjoy bakery items and drinks. The original menu item that brought me in was the sea salt bread, a flakey, buttery, salty perfectly crisp bread is unique with a crunch you can taste from freshness. But menus items like choco bread, croissants, banana matcha and many more you can't help but to grab multiples. Kudos to the source with brining in a spot that offers much with the space to accompany! I hope seed water is around to stay. read more

Wow. Huge coffee and pastry shop. How do they do this? Rent must be nothing. Order everything from the pastry counter including drinks. You will get buzzed when the drinks are ready. All the pastries are reasonable priced. Not as many options as other Korean bakeries but will do. Lots of seating. Plenty of seating. read more

After our Disneyland trip, we decided to get some coffee. It was so yummy. We ordered the banana latte and the Matcha einspanner! Since we are driving six hours back to Bay Area we also got some pastries. This salt bread is so yummy. I don't even know what it means. I think it's just bread that salty and sweet. The presentation is so nice. We spent about $50 crazy but it's OK if he helped us survive our six hour trip back to the bay, we'll be back. read more
First time here at this coffee shop! The baristas that made my coffee so good I had to tell them.I got the Spanish latte as is and it was beyond 10/10! I'm a big coffee person especially when it's comes to Spanish lattes and this one met my expectations.If anyone goes here just try Spanish latte and try honey cinnamon latte! And let me know! read more
Huge open space with plenty of drink and pastry options on the menu. Order at the counter that is deeper inside, and pickup at the counter closer to the entrance when your buzzer goes off. It was pretty dead when we went in on a late Tuesday afternoon. Heads up that they stop serving sandwiches and toasts at 3. NITRO COLD BREW: 5/5. Good enough that my party ordered a second one. SALT BREAD: 4/5. Not too bad, texture was okay, but it was a bit more on the oily side, even for salt bread. CHOCOLATE MOUSSE: 4/5. Rich and decadent. The crunchy chocolate balls inside add a nice textural contrast. MANGO PASSIONFRUIT MOUSSE: 2/5. Not sure how something as flavorful as passionfruit can be so flavorless in this pastry. The gelee on top was so gelatinous I couldn't slice through with a fork. read more
One definitive thing: THIS PLACE IS HUGE Almost like a warehouse but it's nice as there are lots of seating **Ordered: the Matcha Einspanner ~$7 It's honestly fairly watered down with not much of a matcha taste but hey it keeps me awake **People: cashiers as well as the baristas are all great as if you don't know what to get, feel free to ask what they recommend :) **Vibes: chill but not that quiet as there are a lot of people that sit there and chat for hours. LOTS & LOTS of seating but the lot of the tables are small so gotta pick accordingly. Tho WiFi isn't the best, I just hotspot since it's faster **Overall: I would always come back to study or to just hang out and chill. I haven't tried any of the food but they do seem appetizer with a variety of choices read more

I came here for the first time and was really excited about their menu of breads and desserts. However, when we looked at the display case, there were three flies inside with the bread and dessert. It was so gross and immediately put a damper on the experience. I ended up just getting a honey cinnamon latte/drink, which was actually good. But because of the fly situation, I wouldn't recommend any of the bread or desserts from here. I just hope no one gets sick. I won't be back for the food. read more

The store is located at The Source. There is a large parking structure. Plenty of parking and EV charging also. You order at the baked goods area and pick up on the other side. Alot of variety of pastries and drinks and all look very pretty. We tried the einspeinner matcha and sea salt bread. The matcha was good but nothing special. I was a bit disappointed of the bread. Not sure if it's because it was late in the afternoon. It didn't taste fresh and felt like biting into a chunk of oil. It is a very large space and looks like a great spot for groups to hang out over some food and drinks. read more

A pricy cafe, but its pastries and drinks are delicious and there is PLENTY of seating, especially if you are in a group and want somewhere to study / do your hobbies! I came here with my art friends to draw and hangout, and this place was on the top of our list due to how large the roastery is - seriously, there was seating for days (and several long tables perfect for groups)! My group of 6 seated ourselves at a long table coincidentally next to another group that was drawing as well. It can get a little noisy due to the amount of people in the room and the ongoing music playing (we went on a Saturday afternoon and it was bustling), so do keep that in mind if you want to come here to study. I loved the variety of pastries to order from! They're all displayed in glass cases and you can clearly see which ones are still available or not. Even in the late afternoon, there were still a decent amount left. There was a menu for drinks which also had a decent variety. To order your food, you must locate the ordering station and then pick up your items at the pickup station. You get handed one of those electronic buzzer notifiers when your order is ready. I ordered the dalgona latte (#2 on top 10 drinks list) and the garlic cream cheese bread. Both were so yummy! I loved the sugar bits on the top of the latte and the bread was SO huge and filling! I love cream cheese to bits so it was perfect for me, and it was a pull apart bread that makes it easy for sharing. When I brought leftovers home, my partner showed me how delectable it was air-fried as well. I will definitely come here again for an art date, but will definitely come by when I have enough to spend in order to try more! read more
Such a cool concept and this bakery is huge! I initially thought it was a food court but once I walked inside I realized it was an entire bakery. I guess it's good for people to go study or work as well since I saw a lot of people doing that and there was more than enough space/seating. It looked like they had more work to do to open up? I saw a sign about soft/grand opening so I'm not sure if they're fully functioning just yet. We only tried their 2 drinks here which we love and they were so cheap too only $5! The dalgona coffee and chocolate banana drink. Both were good. read more
Decided to give this place another try after the last poor experience. Today really made up for the prior visit. The latte and pastries were delicious. And the service was so good. The guy helping us with our order was extremely knowledgeable and the gal who made our coffee really knows how to make delicious lattes. I just hope they can be more consistent as I hope all my future visits are as solid as our first and third visit. Even though they no longer offer the 50% off I feel like it's still a solid choice when at the source. I like that it's right next to Seoul Station. read more
