    Korean Boeing coffee season yum!
    Brenda L.

    Whenever I'm in Brea area, this is my go to coffee place. The corn latte is great here. Staff is friendly, just be ready to spend more than usual because things add up when you switch from regular milk. A lot of the places now don't charge extra for other milk options, this one still does and it's not cheap. So not the everyday splurge for those on a budget because it will add up. They have plenty of choices for the bakery but I have not tried yet. The Place also has plenty seating if you wish to do your work here. Outdoor seats also available. I recently tried one of the specialty barley honey coffee and it was so good. The flavors are yup definitely smoking here!

    Cute little coffee shop! Delicious selections and calming seating area. There were a few people just studying peacefully so it's more of a relaxed vibe. Customer service was excellent. They prepared my drinks quickly and were kind enough to mention if I needed any modifications to please let them know.

    Review 32/365 Day Challenge It's been a good minute I've been here to STCL it's change quite a bit. Came on a Sunday afternoon around 2 p.m. They offer mini cakes and slices. Associate was really friendly. There are a view outdoor patio seatings and a good amount of tables and seatings inside. They offer Different assortment of breads. My fav as always is the ~ Cream Cheese Garlic Bread. Packed filled w Cream Cheese & the bread is soft w brushed on butter & garlic. So good when toasted at home. Located in the same plaza Off The Hook & Super Juicy Dumplings. Lots of parking available.

    Garlic cream cheese bread

    This review is no knock to this particular location, but more so for the entire Smoking Tiger franchise itself. For starters none of the Smoking Tiger locations outside of the Cerritos one carries salted bread. Totally did not know that entering this location so we were disappointed from the get go already. Pastry selections felt very limited so we ended up settling for the garlic cream cheese bread and a creme brûlée bread to try both their sweet and savory options. For what it's worth both were very sweet. The garlic cream cheese had both sweet and savory notes while the creme brûlée was just sweet. What confused me was the thickness of the creme brûlée bread as well. It felt like I was eating an appetizer bread from cheesecake factory instead of an asian brioche. It felt dry and dense. We also tried the Black Sesame Hojicha and that was disappointing as well. It was watered down and tasted very bland. No hints of tea whatsoever. Although food and drinks were disappointing, service was great. We got our breads heated up and drinks came out fast. Would I go out of my way to come back? Probably not.

    Came by for coffee and some pastries, I decided to try the Apple Pie Latte from their seasonal menu. It's a weird combo but pretty good with bits of apple in the drink! I love how they garnish it with a dried apple slice. The pastries I got were yummy as well, especially the cream cheese garlic bread and the Four Cheese Tiger tail. The sconkies are always great, I tried a new flavor - blueberry. It was good with lots of blueberries inside! I was kind of surprised that the pastry cases were so empty though...maybe it was because I stopped by in the late morning and everything was gone...? Staff was friendly and efficient!

    amazing coffee and the friendliest staff ! get the banana milk latte or get one of my new favorites which is the tiger latte. I just found out about the brea location and i'll definitely be coming back.

    Hojicha and Jeju Matcha Latte
    Vivian N.

    Hojicha was 3/5. The roasted flavor was there but it wasn't strong, almost tasted a bit watered down. It was also a little grainy. Matcha was 4/5. Also was a title watered down but slightly better. Ham and cheese garlic bread was 5/5. String garlic flavor. Ham and cheese were standard. Warning that there was mustard inside. I didn't mind it personally but I also like mustard generally

    Banana Milk Latte / 바나나 라떼
    Kelly K.

    Was in the area and needed a quick pick me up, and I picked the right spot! The service was quick and the coffee was delicious (I'm a sucker for banana coffee). The pastries looked great but were definitely picked over later in the day. Wish I had one closer to me!

    Lots of parking. Drinks are just ok here. The best item is their cream cheese garlic bread. Every bite is so good. It's garlicky and creamy from the loads of cream cheese, it has these buttery salty chips on top. Delicious! If I'm in the area I stop by to grab one. They heat it up and then yum!

    Plenty of parking, good wifi, and lots of seating make this such a great study/WFH spot while enjoying amazing bread and good coffee! The bench seats aren't the comfiest but the chairs have a decent cushion. There aren't many outlets either, so that coupled with the hard seats make this a good spot for ~2 hours of solid work before your butt starts hurting. Garlic cream cheese bread (5.0) I wanted to buy another after wolfing it down. It's so soft with a nutty crunch from the fried garlic chips. It's perfectly sweet and creamy from the cheese. Definitely let them warm it up for you, patience is a virtue. It's so damn good this way. Banana milk latte (3.5) I had an iced latte from them a few months back that I really liked but I couldn't recall what I got. This was a bit underwhelming but the coffee was still flavorful!

    Love this coffee/bakery shop in Brea! Lots of parking so easy to park since it's in a large shopping center! Nice staff when you walk in and happy to take your order. They have an easy grab & go cooler with yummy looking sandwiches and drinks. They have great looking bakery items. When you walk up, they have a cute tray and tissue paper to put your treats on, tongs in each section! Or I did notice they can grab for your too if you'd like. We went with the sconkies! What a cute name!! Scone and cookie dessert that look and taste amazing! Make sure you have them warm them up! We had the Oreo and Smores and they did not disappoint! I had the Banana Milk Latte. I love bananas so this was right up my alley! Kind of tastes like a banana runts candy with a hint of espresso? I loved it but if you don't care for bananas, you might want to try something else. My hubby had the Espresso Tonic. And he really liked the flavor of this one! Good mix of espresso to tonic! And they do have different espresso options to choose from! Check this place out! Grab a snack, take your coffee to walk and shop! We'll be back!

    Cute cafe with great breads and pastries! The prices here are quite affordable for the large size of the breads. I had the their classic Tiger Latte, which was delicious. I really enjoyed their garlic & cream cheese bread-- very garlicky and soft. I also had their matcha croissant, which was gorgeous and gigantic but unfortunately, slightly stale. Overall, I had a good experience here. They also have lots of seating and are device friendly.

    You need the goguma (sweet potato) latte in your life. It's basically the same as the viral sweet potato mochi bread but in latte form. I sincerely hope they'll keep it on the permanent menu because it's currently a seasonal item. If it's gone, then their other signature lattes are also worth trying such as the fireplace latte. I came here specifically for the bread though because they have a great variety of items you probably don't see often. I would say two must-haves are the salt breads or the sconkies, their scone and cookie hybrid. I got the ham and cheese salt bread but did not expect it to have ketchup or mustard so that part wasn't my favorite. They did kindly warm it up for me though so it seemed freshly baked. If you're craving something sweet, the matcha pistachio croissant and matcha sconkie are solid choices that aren't too sweet but still satisfy your sweet tooth. There's plenty of seating indoors and I saw some people working on their laptops so it might potentially be a good study spot. There's also outside seating if you prefer that.

    THE BEST COOKIE EVER.

I grabbed the Strawberry Matcha cake slice, and it looked absolutely beautiful. I was on my lunch break, so I didn't get a chance to try more, but everything in the display looked amazing. They had so many cake selections, plus pastries and drinks, which definitely makes me want to come back and actually spend more time there. Even though it was super busy, the service was impressively fast and efficient. One employee helped take my order and package everything up, and the cashier rang me up quickly, so the whole process was seamless and perfect when you're on a lunch break. The atmosphere felt very family-friendly, and despite how busy it was, the experience was still smooth. Parking is free, there's a small lot directly in front, but if that fills up, there's additional parking in the connected plaza, which makes it easy. I didn't get to try the cake but brother-in-law and sister said the cake was delicious. If you're in the Fullerton area and looking for a cute dessert spot with lots of options, this is definitely worth checking out!

    First time at this beautiful location!…read more My family and I were craving some delicious Korean cake after dinner. We decided to stop by this location before we headed home. Love how large the space is. The dining area so is chic and perfect for some conversation time with friends. Even though we arrived 15mins before closing, they still had quite of selection of breads. The cakes were beautiful as always. A few new Mother's Day selection that's out already. We got a strawberry cloud cake and an orange cake slice.

The display cases always have a lot to choose from, so it's fun to grab a variety of things to try. On our visit we picked up quite a mix: the milk bread loaf, cloud cream cake with strawberries, cheesecake, Guava Pie, cream cheese tart, Portuguese egg tart, chocolate muffin, blueberry muffin, caramel apple pie, fruit tart, and a cinnamon twist. The cheesecake was really good -- smooth, creamy, and nicely balanced in sweetness. The cloud cream cake with strawberries was light and fresh, and the milk bread loaf is incredibly soft and perfect to bring home for toast or breakfast. One of our favorites was the cinnamon twist. It was fluffy and delicious, almost like the texture of a malasada. The fruit tart was also beautifully made and a nice lighter option. Not every item necessarily stood out the same way, but overall it's an enjoyable bakery and a convenient local spot when you're craving pastries or want to bring home a mix of sweet treats to share. The shop itself is clean, well organized, and the staff has always been friendly when we stop in. Overall, it's a solid local bakery with a lot of variety, and a nice place to pick up desserts in Brea. Tip: If you're trying a few things, the cheesecake, milk bread, and cinnamon twist were standouts for us.

Mochi bun - I don't remember the exact name but it has walnuts inside and on top of the bun. Inside the bun there's chunks of brown sugar mochi. The subtle fragrance of brown sugar and crisp walnuts really hit the spot. The best thing is that they're not overly sweet either. Sweet potato bun (?)- forgot the name but it's a long roll with purple sweet potato in it. Again, not overly sweet and very enjoyable. Their breads are very soft and fluffy. Service is fast but the girl behind the counter spoke a bit too fast. If you need a bag they charge 15 cents for paper bags, so bring your own.
