    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    Bright, busy coffee shop that opened recently that's a good place to study in. I got their salted butter bread along with a chocolate croissant to try. The wait time was not long for my order and the bread was hot; the croissant was flaky with a good amount of chocolate inside. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    I had a below average experience at SET Coffee (Chino). I ordered the Set-Spanner ($7.25). It's Injeolmi Cold Foam, Espresso, and Hazelnut. The drink will wake you up. However, it tastes like watered down, gritty, nutty protein powder. It tastes poorly prepared and frugal. I arrived at SET Coffee (Chino) on Monday (around 9:16AM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. Staff is friendly and welcoming. However, it's strange how I had to tell Staff that their charged price didn't match the menu price (ex: cash register said $7.50 while menu said $7.25). Staff immediately apologized and fixed the issue; Staff explained that they didn't update the system yet.... My drink took about two minutes. Fast. As mentioned, I disliked the Set-Spanner ($7.25). It all tastes like budget cuts. The ice is HUGE and PACKED; the coffee flavor is heavily watered down; and the prevailing flavor is bitter nutty grits. Fortunately, the enduring caffeine has utility. Thankfully, SET Coffee (Chino) is a study/work paradise. I can easily understand desperate college students using this place. There's about eight electrical outlets! AMAZING!! There's also customer internet with password; details are written on the counter's barrier in white ink. The location also has an attractive hidden backroom which has cute greenery and sleek reflective decor. The utility of the space is what saves this experience. In addition, SET Coffee (Chino) has a self-service water station. There's also a gender neutral restroom, and I enjoyed the smooth, rhythmic music. The location is also clean and well-ventilated. Overall, SET Coffee (Chino) is a HUGE disappointment. It's not awful, but in good conscience, I won't ever recommend this location as is. In the end, I left SET Coffee (Chino) with a fake smile and a bitter heart. 2.9 out of 5

    Ordered togo coffee on 5/9/26 around 10:30 am. There was a wait for this coffee shop. Even if you have to wait, you are waiting in the shade so that's not too bad. Ambiance: Chill spot to sit down and just hang out. I like their back area. Pretty cool. Parking: plenty of parking Drink: Kyoto Cold Brew - 4/5, not too strong of coffee flavor and light. Worth trying just once, but I want to try their other flavors next time

    Saw this just opened recently so decided to check them out. It is a nice looking coffee spot. Interior looks pretty cool. Besides the main area they also have some more seating in the back. I ordered the Strawberry Fizzy Lemonade. Drink came out so quick. The staffs were chill and friendly. I enjoyed my drink. It was good and refreshing.

    There's a lot of hype around Set with lines outside the door and for good reason. In a boom of coffee shops in the Chino/Chino Hills area, I keep coming back for the Set latte. Always bustling with people studying, talking, or just Vibing, you really feel a vibe inside that's enjoyable and relaxing.

    Right atmosphere, A1 coffee, efficient service. What more can you ask for from a new coffee shop making its debut in Chino Hills? Was lucky enough to check this spot out before their grand opening day. Came back during the actual day and line was reminiscent of Black Friday. But that really just speaks to the anticipation and success of a well thought out space. I don't know if I can ever explore more of their menu because I'm still stuck on their Set Spanner. Congrats to the crew! I'll be back as a repeat customer.

    Honestly loved the vibe here. It's minimal, clean, and feels like one of those spots you accidentally end up staying longer than planned. The drinks were solid, really smooth and not overly sugary like a lot of places. You can tell there's some intention behind their menu and flavors. Also appreciated how quick everything was without feeling rushed. Staff was nice, and the overall experience just felt easy. Would definitely come back for a chill coffee run or to sit and catch up with a friend.

    I enjoyed my visit to Dirty Penguin Coffee. I came on a Sunday around 10am to get some work done,…read moreand there was plenty of seating available. It got pretty crowded and noisy between 11am and 12:30pm as lots of families with kids came in. After 1pm, things quieted down again and more tables opened up. The café also has free Wi-Fi, a few outlets, and a clean, spacious restroom. One thing I appreciated was that the staff seemed to care about maintaining a comfortable environment. A child near my table was having a tantrum, and an employee politely asked the parents to take the child outside until things had calmed down. Since many customers were there to work or study, I thought that was handled well. The girl who took my order was also incredibly kind. Unfortunately, I didn't catch her name, but her smile was contagious and genuinely brightened my day. Food: My table ordered the tiramisu latte and the ube latte. The tiramisu latte was delicious, and I'd definitely recommend it. The ube latte had a stronger flavor profile, so if you enjoy a bold ube and coffee taste, you'll probably like it as well. Overall, I had a great experience at Dirty Penguin Coffee. There's plenty of parking outside, which is always a nice bonus, and I'd happily come back to work or grab a coffee again.

And despite being a "small" space, there always seems to be plenty of seating, which is such a plus. This time I tried the Tiramisu Matcha. The tiramisu definitely added sweetness to the matcha.
