    Set Coffee backroom
    Ray D.

    First time there. so for context, it was a monday morning at around 7:55 am. No line. I ordered a Set Spanner, an Ube Coco Matcha, and a chocolate croissant. Place is extremely clean and welcoming. There were three staff members behind the counter and they all greeted me when I walked in. Ube Coco Matcha is delicious. It actually tastes like Ube (and not just some purple foam and then calling it ube). The Set Spanner is also delicious. I had to head to work, but wanted to check the place out. The backroom feels really nice. It just felt like a good place to go and study or work. Will definitely come back. Great place.

    I've delayed my visit to this cafe bc I was hesitant to try their matcha when they first opened but alas the time has come I saw a promotion from Instagram for their Mango sticky rice matcha and was intrigued by it. Cup size is small but HOLY MOLYYYY it is so good!!! Need to get another cup ASAP Interior is very nice and there's plenty of parking

    We got here early morning on Monday and there were plenty of tables available. I ordered the Set-ie (Setty) which is a short latte with vanilla cold foam, agave, and espresso. I could hardly taste the agave but the balance of the cream and espresso made it just the right sweetness. I opted to change the oat milk to regular though so it was a traditional latte. The cold foam is thin though so it dissolved quickly into the latte. I also tried the Set Latte which closely resembled a Spanish latte. I would opt for the Set Spanner next time because it wasn't a standout item as a signature drink. The tables were very large and spacious which is nice for study sessions. They also offer salt bread and other pastries too which is good if you get hungry.

    DELICIOUSSSSS COFFEE!! On our way home from a trip to LA, we stopped by Best Buy to check out a TV we had our eye on. Once we were done, we decided to look for a local coffee shop, and that's when SET Coffee popped up on my Google search. I'm so glad it did! The moment we walked in, the space felt incredibly charming and inviting. The best way I can describe it is like bringing the outdoors inside. It had such a cozy atmosphere with natural tones, minimalist décor, and a calming vibe that made me want to stay awhile. I asked the barista for a recommendation, and they absolutely delivered. The coffee was so delicious that I finished it way too fast and immediately wished I had ordered another one. If you're looking for a great cup of coffee in a beautiful, relaxing space, SET Coffee is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be stopping by again whenever I'm in the area!

    Spanish latte and garlic cream cheese salt bread

    First time here to get some homework done & really enjoyed my Spanish latte and also my first time ever having salt bread.. I got the garlic cream cheese flavored one and it was soo good. I can't wait to come back to this shop just for that lol.

    Stopped by after a target run to get coffee. Parking is plentiful and easy. The inside is pretty spacious because they also have a back room with lots of seating. Service was great too. Tried the set-ie (vanilla cold foam, oat milk, agave, espresso). Loved the drink so much! Can't wait to try the other drinks next time.

    Ambiance: located in a busy shopping plaza, it's unassuming but a pretty large cafe. They offer plenty of seating, bench and regular tables front of house. They have wifi but you have to ask for the password. The service was good, the baristas are nice and conversational. Food: they offer a variety of pastries, I saw a kimchi spam croissant and they have 3 options for salt bread (sweet, garlic cream cheese, and plain) costing between $4-5 Drinks: I ordered the espresso Tonic ($7) which was pretty good, they add their green plum syrup. Parking: plenty of lot parking out front.

    Love place because of the drinks but specially the interior!! There's a lot of seating with wifi that didn't really work for me though, so you can probably study here~ It's super modern with cute seating both in the front and back. I got the Set-Spanner which was so good and sweet but not overbearingly sweet and my friend got the tonic which she liked! I'd come back here just to study or even read a book!

    Matcha Latte

    All Set and ready to go! So excited that the coffee scene in Chino and Chino Hills is exploding with new shops, and Set was first on my list. Came here on a Saturday afternoon to get some personal work done, and this cafe was packed! Definitely a little of a squeeze here, but as others have mentioned, there is a couple of communal tables (with plugs along the wall!) and also a lovely back room with stools and benches for more of a social vibe. By afternoon, most of their pastries were out, so opted just for my usual matcha latte half sweet. The matcha grade was nice and earthy but a little powdery, not as smooth as some of the other matchas have had, but still good! Set is in a big plaza with plenty of parking throughout, but at the specific section Set is located, the parking was pretty full. I lucked out and snagged a spot. So just beware that during peak hours, you might have to walk a little. I'll definitely be back here to get more work done, and hopefully next time I'll get to grab a pastry :)

    Garlic salt bread
    Jessica N.

    Went in on a weekday morning, wasn't too packed but there was definitely limited seating. A few people were there with laptops and working. The menu has a bit of everything. It was earlier in the day so we just wanted something simple. Opted for their Set Latte with no cinnamon, a Cold Brew, and a Salt Bread. Staff was great, and our drinks were prepared quickly. Set Latte- simple, definitely a lighter drink, but good. It was an ok drink. I wish the espresso was stronger. Cold Brew- also a light drink, not too strong. Salt Bread- they have different options but I believe we got the garlic version. It was small but delicious. Perfect garlic level. Buttery. I wish they were bigger for the price but a nice little treat. I think I would come here for my second coffee of the day. I prefer a stronger tasting drink in the morning (first coffee). But overall, the place was clean, bright, music level was not overbearing. Everyone was nice. Plenty of parking.

    Seems like we went during nonpeak time which was around noon. It's a pretty cool layout, the front has desks people can work on computers and then if you walk past the bathrooms it's a more secluded area to hangout without tables and more so a long bench lining the walls. Coffee was cool, the barista helped with understanding what one of the cold foams was.

    SET Coffee had a decent amount of parking in front of the store. Although it is located in a large plaza, the stores next to it don't have a lot of foot traffic, from what I saw. Upon walking in, there was a long table to the left, full of people doing work on their laptops. We assumed that all the seats were taken. To our surprise, there were more spots in the back area of the coffee shop, with no one sitting there at all. It had dim lighting, aesthetic, fake olive trees, and a large mirror. The coffee barista taking our order was very nice, but we couldn't hear him at all. We ended up ordering their SET tonic and their SET latte. Their tonic was made with green plum, which is different than the common Yuzu. The turn around time for drinks was under five minutes. We brought out drinks to the back and took some photos. The seating arrangement was quite uncomfortable, although the seats had a purpose; you can sit and do work in numerous ways, giving creative room for comfortability. Yet, to sit normally, I don't imagine myself doing work there. The drinks weren't special and I felt as though I could get the same latte at a generic coffee shop. Nothing about my latte made it stand out or memorable. The coffee is strong, which is different than other lattes. I can say I'm slightly disappointed. Nevertheless, it's an aesthetically pleasing shop, but I don't expect myself to come back for another visit.

    MENU - May 2026

    5/1/2026 SET-SPANNER I came to Set to try this drink. I just wanted to try something new and different and sadly, this drink did not deliver. It did have a strong hazelnut coffee flavor right off the bat, but it all went downhill from there. The injeolmi cold foam on top did taste like soybean powder, but flavor was not as strong as I hoped. And because of the nature of the soybean powder, it was grainy in texture. When mixed all together, it vaguely tastes like biscoff coffee. But the injeolmi cold foam was so thick and some parts of it sat at the bottom of the drink and texture felt disgusting as you drink it. I did mix it, but still, it was just not what I wanted as an overall texture and mouthfeel. Given the name, it seems it's their signature drink too. There were pastries sold as well, but most of it were sold out. Since we also had to pay in cash because their computers were down, I decided against purchasing anything more. CUSTOMER SERVICE Just as I got there in the late afternoon, there were so many factors working against my experience at Set, the computer system was down, so they could not accept credit cards, so only cash was accepted. They apologized for it, but that meant the wait time was much longer than expected. Another factor, it seems they only had one barista working today, which made the wait time super long! Then, I was the very last person to receive my drink out of everyone who came in the afternoon. I believe there were people who came after me that got their drinks before me, which contributed to an even unhappier experience. So many negative factors contributed to my negative experience. And then... the coffee. SEATS/ AMBIANCE Right at the front, there's three long communal tables at the front and most of the seats were taken. In the back there are more seats and tables. But it was in disarray. It was messy and disorganized. Wish staff took care of this space better. Slow jams, R&B playing in the background really loudly. The music selections were good, just LOUD. PARKING Located at an outdoor mall, so there's plenty of parking all around. Will I be back? Most likely not.

Unfortunately, this review would be 2/5 if every time I went it and saw the guy behind bar (I think he's the owner?). The espresso shots are bad EVERY time and I know it as soon as I walk in.

I ordered a matcha latte with agave, which sounds pretty simple to me. But the latte was DISGUSTING. Nothing like matcha at all. Also found it interesting how they stuck a table in the middle of the (former) children's play area. Not sure who's going to walk through the playhouse to sit there. Tables and chairs were kinda just everywhere. There's a lot more board games now available, which is nice, and they were displaying some art on the counters. But I just feel like it's not a spot conducive for working or studying anymore, which I think is the main reason why people stay at cafes. Just felt kinda awkward and a bit messy. The furniture is wearing down too. I see they're hopping on the matcha trend and offering different flavors of matcha, but if that's the case, a better matcha powder is quintessential. I couldn't even take more than one sip of my matcha though. I haven't retried the food, but hoping they've kept up with that. This used to be a really solid spot, but with all the new competition popping up, I think it's time for a revamp for this penguin.

It's always nice to see their boba drinks come with a cup sleeve and string! When tasting my drink, you can taste the oolong perfectly and it's a subtle type of sweetness. Their boba is very chewy, but sweet, too. The workers here were kind and it was a very clean environment. Just like their tea, their shop is clean and to utter perfection. Their workers were trained well. I'd come back again for good tea!
