    Where sweet meets savory * September Cafe might just be one of the cutest aesthetic cafe spots in OC right now. From the cozy decor to the bright natural lighting, every corner is literally made for Instagram pictures, study sessions, or just hanging out with friends for hours. What I love most is how big their menu is~ they have everything from matcha, coffee, smoothies, fruit teas, and so many food options to choose from, so there's honestly something for everyone. Their drinks were not only super pretty but actually refreshing and flavorful too. And you NEED to add the little ice bear on top of your drink It's only an extra $1 and honestly so worth it because it makes every drink look 10x cuter for pictures. Such a small detail but it really adds to the whole experience. The vibe here feels super welcoming and relaxing with plenty of seating and space for studying or getting work done without feeling cramped. Definitely one of those cafe spots you'll want to keep coming back to whether you're craving drinks, food, or just a cute place to spend the day

    Pandan Ice Cream

    Craving dessert randomly late one Tuesday night and stumbled upon this nice dessert cafe while on the area. It's a nice sized store with plenty of tables inside and some stool seating that faces out to a busy street which is always nice to watch cars drive. The vibe was very chill and mellow at the time i went, great for reading a book or bringing your laptop to study. This place offers a variety of teas, coffees, ice creams, cakes, and croffles on their menu to name a few. I went with a single scoop of their Pandan Ice Cream which costs $5.50, but you get 5% off if you pay by cash or venmo. The service was very quick and the server who brought my ice cream out to my table was friendly. The single scoop was a generous portion and it came with oreos which was a nice surprise. The flavor was right on point, not too sweet, but you can still taste the pandan in each bite. I'll have to come back next time to try their other desserts!

    Came back today courtesy of management to try something different. Asked for rec on what would be less foamy and more of a dark roast, so got the Vietnamese coffee hot with condensed milk. It can be summed up as what I would call an espresso. There was a votiv of something next to it which I can only say is the same thing that could have been poured all in the same cup upon serving. All in all better than my last experience, and also had their crème brûlée. I would say these two were solid, would not order the breaded things I had last time and stick to just the coffee and crème brûlée.

    Sundays call for brunch aaannnddd coffee dates. I've had this spot saved for a while and finally got the chance to check it out. Parking: Free parking lot. There's a small/medium parking lot. Finding a spot can be easy. Ambiance/Environment: The interior is very cute. They have a decent amount of indoor seating. There's a small den with a booth-ish seating. There are regular-height tables and chairs and shorter tables and chairs. It's a studious environment but also a nice spot to hangout. Service: The cashier that assisted me was simply efficient. Throughput was quick after ordering. We only waited about 12 min for everything. Drinks & dessert: The menu can be overwhelming. They offer small bites, desserts, milk teas, coffee, fruit teas, teas, yogurt, blended drinks, etc. Although the photos of the drinks look appealing, the presentation doesn't match. I was told they no longer offer drinks in a glass even if you're dining in. All drinks are in to-go cups. I got the Truffle Coffee, Vietnamese Black Coffee (with no sugar), and Egg Cream Toast. If you prefer your drinks strong and bitter, then the Vietnamese Black Coffee will be perfect for you. The bear on top is absolutely cute. Make sure you drink this properly - always let Vietnamese coffee sit and don't slurp it in two gulps. Hence why there's a lot of ice. The Truffle Coffee tasted exactly as it sounds .. I thought the flavors were okay, but I believe truffle should only stay with savory dishes lol. The egg cream itself was thick and creamy. I was expecting some fancy french toast along side with it, but it's literally just toasted white bread. Pricing: More on the expensive side for coffee in OC. I'd come back to try their other drinks bc they all sound appealing. I wouldn't get the egg cream toast again.

    Hot coffee
    Nick N.

    Came here with my dad for some coffee after lunch on his recommendation. Now my dad is very hard to please when it comes to food and drink - particularly Vietnamese coffee. He spoke very highly of this place which is all but a guaranty of quality. Sure enough, I was very satisfied with the coffee, it's on the stronger side which is perfect to me. I had iced while he had the hot. We were helped by Alisha who was very friendly. Very cozy, classic coffee shop vibe. Pay with cash / zelle / venmo for 5% off! Also free wifi so come here and enjoy some good coffee and desserts to relax or do some work.

    September is an adorable cafe with plenty of seating and sweet/savory food options for studying or catching up with friends! The desserts are both made in house, and I'm normally picky about desserts but theirs are light, airy, and not too sweet which I loved. The individual decor on the drinks were the perfect cherry on top. we got their matcha cherry blossom (not too floral), tiramisu coffee (coffee base + cream top) and mango yakult (so refreshing/slightly carbonated). For foods we chose finger foods like the precut cream cheese garlic croissant and bread sticks (ham, cheese, pork belly!) with a crispy exterior. Favorites were the desserts!! I loved the berry choco mousse and passion cheesecake. We also got the oreo and tiramisu bunny since there's a buy 3 get 1 free promo! overall the price is amazing considering everythings made in house, and the staff are so sweet and attentive.

    Such a cute spot for handcrafted drinks and desserts. We came here after dinner for ice cream, and it was so full! The decor is beautiful and a great place for doing some work or hang out with friends. And their And the lady we serviced us was very sweet.

    when I say every corner in this place is aesthetic I am not lying. Me and my fiance decided to stop by on a lil lunch date. Service was very nice and friendly, and there was lots of seating room inside. Menu was big with very aesthetically pleasing drinks. We got a biscoff latte and an iced matcha. The drinks came with these cute bear shaped ice cubes on top. we got a sampler platter w/ beef spaghetti, quail eggs, shrimp udon, bulgogi salad & garlic cheese bread & these cute hamster cheesecakes/mousse. Overall I definitely recommend this spot out for a date/study session.

    Wow, the two drinks I got were so delicious that I wrote a review right away. I originally just ordered the Tornado Biscoff Latte to go, but they accidentally gave me a watermelon lychee tea too. My husband let them know it was a mistake, but they let us keep it. The Biscoff latte is strong, just how I like my coffee -- not too sweet -- and you can really taste the Biscoff in it. Every sip had yummy chunks of Biscoff. The watermelon lychee tea was also so refreshing and delicious. I would probably ask for it less sweet next time, but the flavor is perfect and captures the fruit flavors beautifully. The service was great, and the ambience is beautiful. There are great photo ops -- some ladies were even taking pictures with the décor.

    Got the mushroom carbonara, shredded pork sandwich, sea salt coffee, and black coffee. All were so delicious! Be careful th, the black coffee is STRONG! And the cashier was so kind too. Love the decor of the cafe too!

    Allison P.

    An adorable cafe nestled in the heart of Westminster! The interior is absolutely adorable! Lots of plants, natural wood, and trendy furniture. There's also plenty of seating for coffee dates and lounging! In the mood for something fresh, I got their Barbie Yakult! Tart, light, and refreshing, this drink ticked off all of my boxes. Also, they have the cutest teddy bear ice molds- 10/10 for presentation!

    Ask the Community - September

    Do they have plugs for laptops?

    Yes, there are charging stations in the walls. Please ask for assistance if you need help locating.

    Do you guys offer an alternative for milk, so instead of whole milk, can we replace it with oat milk?

    Yes they offer oat milk, almond milk and soy milk for alternative

    Is this place dine in only or is to-go available?

    Both, dine in and to-go

    Do they accept cash?

    Yes they do!

    Does the place still sells the "ice cream hotpot" if so, how much is it? Because I can't seem to find it on your menu here

    I went 23 days ago (and left a review) and they still had it then! It was about $30, I believe.

    Do you use any peanuts/peanut products in your drinks/food?

    We are a peanut free cafe. However we do have almond, so almond was processed in the same facility as peanut.

    Good place for studying? Any plugs?

    There's a lot of seating that would be great for studying but there are not many outlets.

The concept feels modern, elevated, and creative without trying too hard, and you can tell there's a lot of thought put into both the menu and overall experience. The food leans on the richer and more indulgent side in the best way possible. Think garlic noodles, bone marrow, heavily layered flavors, strong sauces, and dishes that feel bold and satisfying. It's not your traditional light breakfast spot, but if you're in the mood for something flavorful and different, this place absolutely delivers. Their Vietnamese coffee drinks are excellent, and overall the cocktail and beverage program is really well done. The menu has a lot of variety, and everything feels very intentional. You can tell the chef and restaurant group behind Nep Cafe really know what they're doing. They also operate other strong concepts locally, and the consistency shows. Brunch here is especially good, although the wait can definitely get long during peak hours. Thankfully, joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time makes the experience a lot easier. Even with the crowds, the service moves pretty efficiently and the atmosphere stays energetic and welcoming. Overall, Nep Cafe is a great choice if you want elevated Vietnamese-inspired comfort food with a more modern and creative approach.

It's definitely a solid spot that we visit often. Tom Yum Ramen -- 5/5 This is a must try. It's spicy, unique, and just perfect. Pro Tip: They actually have unlimited noodle refills, so you definitely won't leave hungry. Beef Belly Curry Bowl -- 3/5 The flavor was actually delicious, but the temperature was a total fail. The ramen came out steaming hot first, but this bowl came out lukewarm. I felt guilty saying something, but I told them it wasn't hot and they made it again. Even the second one came out lukewarm! I think they think if the rice is hot then the curry is fine, but it really wasn't. I was going to say the service was great, but I was disappointed they didn't really listen or change their cooking method the second time. Karaage -- 5/5 Everything you want in karaage. It was super crispy and delicious, and the sauce it comes with is great. Final Thoughts: I'd still come back because the ramen and the vibes are so good, but I'd probably stick to the steaming hot dishes next time and skip the bowls. It's a solid spot for a night out, just hope your food comes out hot!

I met the owners when they first opened, good people who know what they are doing. The next gen trailblazing the way for Little Saigon. Saw they added a breakfast burrito, so I called in a to-go order: sausage + bacon + avocado (Valentine's Day splurge ). Gamble paid off. She loved it. This isn't just another bacon-egg-cheese wrap pretending to be special. They use tater tots instead of regular potatoes, so you get crispy + soft instead of mush. The sausage is the real twist, Vietnamese style, like bún chả pork: slightly sweet, savory, garlicky, lightly caramelized. Then the surprise: pickled veggies inside. That acidity cuts the richness and balances the whole burrito so it eats lighter than a typical gut-bomb breakfast burrito. It ends up tasting like a true Viet-American diner take on a SoCal classic, comforting but aromatic, familiar and sooo goood. Nice to finally have a worthy breakfast burrito option closer to home.
