Strawberry Matcha Latte
Joy C.

Review is solely for the drink, if I included desserts I tried (sesame + hazelnut chewy cookie), the rating would be 4 stars. - Strawberry Matcha Latte: Not too strong of a matcha flavor on this, but the strawberry bits were good! Probably would not order again Love the abundance of parking at this location and service was great! People were nice and love that it's super close to Rowland Heights compared to the one on Temple

I've been to their Cerritos location and fell in love but surprisingly, this location's drinks and garlic cream cheese bread wasn't up to par. The bread was a little stale while our drinks were mostly milk. I don't recommend ordering their matcha drinks unless you prefer a very subtle matcha flavor but their hojicha was decent!

Pastries

Solid coffee lab & happy to have this rather than more Starbucks around this area. Ample parking by 99 ranch. Very cute interior with Korean art decors and quite spacious. Seats are not very comfortable, maybe so you get out sooner Service was ok. I think it's just a very laid back vibe, but the cashier was smiley and nice. I got the banana latte and I loved it! Very unique and refreshing. Will come back for more flavors. Speaking of flavors, their soft cookies had cool variety but I can't justify the tiny individual cookies for the price.

Finally visited Smoking Tiger cafe for the first time. I came specifically to get the black sesame chewy cookie since I haven't seen that anywhere else! It was much less sweet compared to dubai chocolate chewy cookies I've had elsewhere. I actually really liked it! It was $4.50 so kind of expensive for how tiny it is, but I'd say it's more worth it than getting a dubai chocolate one. I also got the iced banana latte with oat milk, less sweet and less ice. I don't think this drink was for me because it was still way too sweet. Also you can barely taste the coffee. And I am not usually the biggest fan of coffee so I don't normally mind if the coffee isn't so strong, but even this one I felt was not enough coffee. The staff are all very nice and friendly though. I would come back to try other drinks or pastries. Nice addition to 99 ranch complex!

Hojicha cheesecake

Located inside the 99 ranch building, Smoking Tiger is located on the side closest to Nogales. The service was good and our drinks came out fast. I wish the corn latte had more corn flavor to it as it usually does, but the coffee was great nonetheless. My aunt enjoyed her Spaniard latte. We also go the hojicha cheesecake, the flavor was light and not too sweet but it was a little wet at the bottom. Overall nice spot for coffee!

Strawberry matcha latte
Valerie C.

My friends and I stopped in Smoking Tiger while waiting for our takeout at Jinsol. The coffee shop is bright and clean. Service was very friendly and fast. Strawberry Matcha 3.5/5 - not the best I had, it was a little watery, and matcha was on the lighter side. Strawberry puree was not very strong. Banana Milk Latte 4/5- my friend liked it. It wasn't too sweet or too strong. Black Sesame latte 4/5- my friend liked it as well, I was hoping to try the cream cheese garlic bread but it was sold out. There were many different scones options left, and many of them sounded very interesting to me, like the lemon earl gray scone, and the cinnamon honey scone. I ended up getting the Lotus s'mores scone which was 4.5/5 for me. It wasn't too dry ( I reheated it for 5 sec before serving).

Good customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. I came specifically for the matcha, but unfortunately it was a bit watered down and not quite what I was hoping for. That said, they have a wide selection of other drinks and pastries that looked great, and I'd be open to trying something else if I'm in the neighborhood again. Overall, a decent spot with friendly service.

Banana milk latte
Jennifer C.

Finally checked this place off my bucket list! The menu looks amazing with so many "yummy" options, but unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the hype. The Space: The shop is actually a great size--plenty of room if you're looking for a group hangout spot or a quiet corner to study. The Drink: I asked for a recommendation for a first-timer, and the staff suggested the Banana Milk Latte. We waited about 10 minutes for our order, but sadly, it was a letdown. Even though I ordered it iced, it was served lukewarm. If it had actually been chilled, it probably would have been great, but drinking a warm "iced" latte just didn't meet expectations.

Matcha apple cider
Natalie L.

Stopped by here a few times while I was visiting family in Rowland, and the drinks are great! The persimmon leaf tea was naturally slightly sweet and earthy, and I could see this being great iced on a hot day. Smoking Tiger also has so many unique drink options, like I've never heard of someone combining matcha and apple cider (seasonal drink). I haven't tried any pastries, but they look great! The workers are ridiculously nice, and I could see myself working here since it's a nice, quiet shop.

Coffee is a 5/5 -nutty, rich, not to cinnamony I wish this place can open earlier so I can get coffee before work! This place is a great study place if you don't mind the noise. They have stable internet connection and there are a couple tables for seating. The service was quick and staff were friendly. I did not feel like I was rushed to leave. Stayed here ~5hrs on a Saturday!

Dubai Mochi
Arwen L.

This place is so awesome. They have really good seating and they also have the new Dubai mochi which is so good and must get. It would be a good place to study or grab something to catch up with someone and the sheets are really comfy and they also have a lot of outlets and free Wi-Fi. They have a range of drinks to order from, and they also have sweet and savory treats. I would want to gatekeep this place but this place is just too good. The surface here is really fast too. They have you order at the front after you decide what you want and you would pick up your drink drinks and they also provide free water. Easter is the best

Strawberry Matcha, Hojicha Latte
Winnie L.

Needing a coffee break after our flight. Yelped and found this place inside Ranch 99 (this used to the Diamond Bakery location way back when the market 1st opened, facing Nogalas St) Ordered: -Hot Hojicha Latte (oat) 3.5/5- Good tea flavor. Needed to be way hotter. -Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte 4/5. Good balanced flavors. Not too sweet. -Jeju Matcha 3.5/5 Asked Hubs to order a Garlic Cream Cheese Bun. We ended up getting a Cream Cheese Sausage Roll 3/5

Cydia N.

This used to be the Diamond bakery spot. Right next to Happy Harbor. Saw this spot just opened and we decided to check it out. The flavor of the beverages are accurate to the description. I had banana milk latte and my sister had sweet corn latte. It was not too sweet. It's a small drink though.. service was great but it was slow to get our drinks.

The butterscotch latte barely had any flavor of coffee and was just mostly milk unfortunately. Originally asked for ice on the side, but decided to drink it in full, and the cup was still 1/5 unfilled (even with ice all the way at the top). Being $17 for 2 drinks, we were pretty disappointed about that. The volume of drinks are less than most shops, and it's mostly ice. Usually, I'm not the type to even finish half a drink, but I finished the whole drink. The cafe is cute, very clean, and could be a really good study spot or a place to unwind.

Le Kream - Milk and Matcha cube

Reviewing as a DESSERT location: drinks are looking at 3.5/5, wouldn't suggest coming for drinks…read morebut the cubes are so so good Cubes come at roughly $6.50-6.90 each, depending on what flavor you get, and we picked out the matcha and pistachio. Contrary to expectations the pastry itself was very buttery, and while not flaky it also wasn't just reminiscent of plain bread. The cream is the biggest highlight: they really load it up, and I especially adored the matcha cream as it carried a rich amount of matcha flavor. The pistachio cream was nothing too special, featuring small bits of crushed pistachios, so I wouldn't recommend it. Drinks on the other hand come $6-8: I didn't mind the fact that they batch their matcha here into containers (when we went, there were only two workers present and were incredibly busy so I understand the time constraints there), but the matcha itself wasn't too great and the drink itself was mostly just your milk of choice feat. a dash of green

I got the yuzu slush (nice citrus flavor and refreshing, the perfect amount of sweet) and the milk cube. The cube had a nice amount of cream in the middle - its like a vanilla flavor - and surprisingly light considering it reminded me of a croissant. My friend got the ube spanner and said it was great quality ube and she liked it. She got the strawberry cube. I look forward to coming back and trying their matcha cube and matcha spanner! Good amount of parking too.

I usually hit their San Marino spot, but this location still delivered the goods. The shop's a bit small inside, but service was nice. Grabbed my ride-or-die Koan-Im Oolong Latte and paired it with a donut from my favorite donut shop like I was assembling the perfect duo for a late night snack. The tea was lightly sweetened perfectly to my liking, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who respects tea leaves more than I respect my sleep schedule. The cloud top was basically dalgona candy foam and felt like a bonus dessert after finishing the drink. Even with a lot of people waiing, service moved fast, in & out in about 7 mins. Quality tea, speedy service, and enough creamy foam happiness to make a milestone review feel deserved!! Highly recommend!!! Now for some poetry that's inspired my 1000th review: Warm glazed memories sift through my reverie. A pink box opened in the summer of 24. Days were bleak and hollow like a bakery shelf at closing. I saw the saddest eyes, soft as powdered sugar falling. Sweet like a dalgona cloud top koan-im oolong latte, but carrying a quiet ache no frosting could hide. That summer you saved me, like the first bite of something new when you thought you'd forgotten what butterflies felt like. The season changed and you suddenly disappeared.... just an empty pink box on the counter. Only crumbs remain now, where your strawberry-glazed humor used to melt into every moment like sugar on warm dough. My heart split like a jelly donut. Still, I'm grateful as the world is as it should be. I pass by the donut shop on 66 and smile. People think it's just about donuts. But once.... a long time ago, one saved my life.

It's a good spot to end the night after a satisfying meal. I will say, it gets super busy and you might wait a minute for your drink. But that's expected.

The natural sweetness and subtle earthiness from the taro really comes through. I was actually surprised. The ice is blended very finely, but it's also not chunky.

As someone who's been a loyal consumer over the past few years, I'm not a fan with the transition to their new rewards system. Before they used to just use your phone number through Toast, but now they have their own app. Today when I ordered my drinks, I asked if there was a way to earn rewards or input my number for the $30 worth of drinks I just bought for my family, but I was told that I needed to have asked BEFORE I had ordered and paid and that there was no way to upload the receipt on the app to earn points. How are consumers supposed to know to ask beforehand when most rewards systems allow you to input a number after you pay? Plus, the guy taking my order didn't seem pretty eager to help out and just gave me the classic Gen-Z stare . Customer service just tends to be a hit or miss here. As for the drinks, they have a great selection of fruity, slushy drinks that will never fail to refresh you. Just be wary on going on a Friday night since it tends to be pretty packed.

This place is popular and for good reason. This tea shop is described as a cozy tea shop. I don't disagree! We were greeted upon arrival. The staff are attentive and friendly.

My husband ordered the Premium Matcha Boba Fresh Milk Tea (large, regular ice, 70% sweetness). Our drinks were ready in 10 minutes. I've never had red glutinous rice in my milk tea.

Oh, and apparently the rice symbolizes good luck. Overall, I would definitely come back to try their other drinks. We had a great experience. We can't wait to return.
