    Set-Spanner, Set-Tonic
    Elihu P.

    TLDR - Set- Spanner is impressive, everything else is a little lackluster. By no means is 3 stars a BAD review by my metrics, on the other hand, to me 3 stars means I would definitely stop by if I was in the area and wanted a coffee. We got all of their signatures and an iced americano. A set-spanner, their signature spanish latte, and their set tonic. The set spanner was very tasty- the cream top complements their hazelnut latte very well. If i stopped by, this is what I would order. Their spanish tastes like every other spanish latte I've ever had. Nothing impressive but nothing to dock points on. Their set tonic was the drink I had the highest expectations for. Its supposed to be sweetener with mesil - a korean plum extract. However, it was a little lackluster as the plum flavor didn't pop out at all even though I asked them for more of it, I'm not sure if its because it wasn't dissolved well or because it's not that strong but I would've liked the plum flavor to just come out a little more. The service was good and overall I'd recommend trying it out.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing quality, everything was super tasty and honestly just really well done. The set-spanner is out of this world and easily one of the best drinks I've had. The ube matcha is the best matcha I've ever tried, the flavor is so smooth and different in a good way. The shop itself is super unique and the layout is amazing. They have a nice study area if you want to get work done and also a more social community space which is a cool balance. Their merch is actually really high quality too, I ended up buying a jacket and I'm really happy with it. Staff and owners are some of the best, super welcoming and you can tell they care about what they're building. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

    Set coffee is an amazing place for your coffee desires. I loved learning about the backstory of their name being "Set" the number 3 in Korean for the three founders of this shop. The decor inside is relaxing for you and your party to unplug and enjoy each other's company. It is a delight to be inside with great music that sets you in a pleasant mood. There is a new back room area for bigger groups or even events. The line was out the door when we arrived, but the staff moved so fast that we barely waited. The coffee was very good. We ordered all three of the signature drinks, and the Set Spanner was the star of the show. It was crafted after a Korean rice cake dish, and they nailed it to perfection. The tonic coffee was also great. I am a fan of sparkling water so it was great for me. The pastries are also good. The salt bread with garlic cream is a must try.

    SET Coffee is one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've ever been to. The front seating area has beautiful and large tables with bright lighting but the area in the back is warm and homey, like a comfort space. I felt like I was transported to a completely different space with their aesthetic & high ceilings. Service was friendly and welcoming upon entry and the space was remarkably clean. Drinks are reasonably priced, not too much ice and appropriate sizing yay! Set Spanner (8/10): The coffee in this was sooo yum. The cold foam really does taste like injeolmi haha which unfamiliar (at least in coffee for me) but pleasant! Set Latte (7.5/10): Liked the cinnamon in this! It wasn't too overbearing, complimented the brown sugar and honey very well. Reminded me a little of a Spanish Latte. Matcha Einspanner (8/10): Decent matcha, I wouldn't say my favorite but I would still get it again. I like their cold foam it wasn't too thick and was delicious. Strawberry Matcha (8.5/10): Whatever they use for the strawberry flavor complimented the matcha taste well and was very refreshing. Excited to see this place flourish in Chino and would make the drive for another visit!

    We tried the ube matcha latte and set latte. We got less sweet for both and that was perfect for us. The ube foam is very creamy and strong but it does overpower the matcha a little bit, so if you're looking for a strong matcha drink I would get something else! I loved how the sweet ube and coconut paired together with the hint of bitterness of the matcha though. The latte was good too, the injeolmi flavor was very strong. There is a good amount of seating, but anyone looking to study, note that the amount of outlets are sparse.

    I'm a sucker for these cute cafes, it's a good spot to go and just enjoy your drink, rather than grab and go and don't really know how your coffee tastes like. The shop is relatively small, with a communal table and a few 2 person tables in the back. Depending on what your visit should be, maybe bring noise cancelling headphones in case people are there to chit chat. There were a few people working when I visited. Their menu isn't much, but got the basics and 3 specialty drinks: injeolmi (Korean soybean powder, think kinako in Japanese desserts) latte, green plum espresso tonic, and a cinnamon latte. They have pastries from Long Beach, Nonna Mercado, I believe? I was stopping by before meeting up for breakfast so didn't try any. I went with their espresso tonic, highly recommending this for those who want something refreshing instead of a sweet/creamy drink. My friend got their injeolmi latte, which had that sweet and creamy taste. It was delicious, the worker there said it's their most popular drink, makes sense. Did I taste much of a soybean powdery taste? Nope, but I also find kinako mochi super plain. By the way, they serve Onyx coffee here, which has recently won #1 in world's best coffee. Another plus! Definitely coming back!

    I wish all these shops came sooner! But I'm glad they're here now. I love that I can grab a really great coffee for my target/ tjmaxx stops that doesn't involve Starbucks. The location has tons of parking and is centered in a large shopping center, with close by shopping as mentioned above. The inside of the store is intentional with a minimalistic order counter, letting there be more space to sit, work or meet with friends. I'm lucky enough to have been twice before their grand opening and the coffee is great. The employees are so, so welcoming and friendly. I never felt rushed to order or just another customer. You would never know they were in a soft opening phase with both the crowds, and quality of drink. They've been quick to push out the drinks leaving minimal wait time. I ordered my standard Spanish latte and they do it well. Their menu is expansive beyond the normal lattes, including their own signature drinks.

    I got the Iced Injeolmi Latte and it was great! Unique flavor and coffee tasted solid. I also tried their vanilla latte and it was good too. Service is great- workers are nice! Great ambiance, the lighting and seating area is great; line moves quickly. Parking- there's a lot!

    The weekend brunch menu and drinks are to drool over and spectacular to have as a treat-yourself…read morekind of meal. I met up with a friend at Wara Cafe and we had the best time sipping on our Shrek Lattes and eating their Croffles. We ordered the Shrek Latte (Hot) and Shrek Latte (Cold) as our drinks, and both got the Croffle w/ Mixed Berries, Fresh Whipped Cream, Hazelnut Drizzle, and because it was the weekend and my stomach begs for brunch food, I also got their Classic Breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, side of toast, and salad. Let me tell you and stop you right in your tracks if you're looking at other things on their menu. Their Croffle is top of the line, the best croffle invention I have ever had, and gave me another reason to exist and enjoy life, just so I can eat their Croffles. If you are wondering what it is, it's like a dessert fusion breakfast item in between a croissant and a waffle pressed in a waffle iron. This makes an airy, buttery, crunchy, waffle bite, and it's got me drooling as I am typing this hungry. They pair it here with mixed berries, and their house-made fresh whipped cream. The whipped cream is another story I need to say, because I originally thought it was too much since its a size of an ice cream scoop, but I finished the whole thing and enjoyed every bite of it since it is also one of the best fresh whipped creams I have had. Just get the croffle, OK? 100% gauranteed you will love it and thank me later, please. Also, if I may convince you of another thing. If you love matcha and cinnamon, it is no doubt you will love their Shrek Latte. I read "Matcha, brown sugar, and cinnamon, as their description, and I was immediately sold. Sign me up for another Shrek Latte please, and I'll change my name to Fiona. I absolutely loved it and would order again. The staff here are also beyond friendly, and genuinely sweet. They checked on my friend and I every now and then and made sure we were taken care of. They are all so beautiful, and have such great smiles. I can see why the wait line was so long! I would come back every weekend if I were closer to Wara Cafe, but it just gives me more reason to bring another friend along and make the trip out here. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. My friend and I left with full tummies and a big smile. Thank you!

    highlights: - very friendly and attentive staff…read more - food presentation was great - taste of the food was good and the serving size was good - seated quickly cons: - the wait for the food was exceptionally long, my friend and I waited around 40~45min for two breakfast dishes - the food was very good but the wait is something to account for - price was around average but more on the expensive side around ~$20 per person overall: would visit again, but would plan around the wait time, other than that, this restaurant was good!
