    Tiny new cafe in Brea The parking is tiny also in the back lot, lots of ppl were parking across the street and walking over which was pretty dangerous. I tried to see the menu and it was only in the front with very small font with a very long list of pour over which I think they specialize in. They did not have a cream top latte, which I always try out at every café. I went for the Mont Blanc. It had not mag flavors with a vanilla cream top with a cold brew on the bottom. It had very much floral hints, but it wasn't bad. The indoor seating is very limited with only low tables around the other side of the café. There are no real tables to sit at nor plugs on the wall walls. The line can get pretty long waiting for ordering. I think the size makes it difficult for people to enjoy when there is an influx of customers. Especially on hot days I feel like more seating and more space could accommodate for the high demand.

    Cute space & friendly staff! I was really excited to try this place after seeing many posts about it. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the drinks we ordered, especially the watered-down coffee which had more of a burnt taste. Maybe it's just the decaf since I've seen other positive reviews about their coffee drinks? It was $0.50 extra to make the drink decaf, so I was expecting a higher quality bean. The coconut water matcha was ok and the color was great! Not a bad experience, just not a shop that I would go out of my way for to try again.

    SoulCiety coffee. Cute little shop located right on imperial highway. Early Sunday morning. Plenty of parking behind the building. Vanilla latte. Only syrup they make in house was vanilla. 7 dollars. I personally felt the roast was too dark. Didn't get any vanilla notes not balanced whatsoever. Wanted to love This place but just wasn't a fan

    Another new coffee shop in the city of Brea but it's definitely not your ordinary little coffee spot. This place specializes and takes great pride in their espresso so I had to give them a shot. I arrived on a weekday afternoon and thankfully there was only one party ahead of me. I asked for a rundown on the menu and their popular drinks so the girl working kindly did that for me without hesitation. Here's what I ordered: **Orange Bianco: The layering with this drink looks amazing from the cream top to the espresso to the orange juice on the bottom. The cream top itself lacked flavor and didn't taste like anything. The espresso was bitter and lacked flavor. The orange juice was your plain jane oj. The drink mixed together created chunks and wasn't the most appealing drink overall. **Long Black: This was the closest thing to an Americano so I ordered it. A Long Black is prepared with a layer of water and espresso on top while an Americano is the opposite but I swear it's the same thing because I've seen people prepare Americanos both ways. The espresso was very bitter and lacked overall depth of flavor. I initially went because I did see a tonic based drink on the menu but when I got there, the menu had changed. A day or two later, they had a different tonic based drink available. I also like to order a basic espresso based drink like an Americano but the Long Black did not meet any expectation. The interior is quite minimalistic but the feel isn't all there. From reading prior reviews, I read that the owner was present and providing excellent customer service to everyone but that wasn't the case for me. I saw a person that resembled to be the owner but he did not say a peep even though I was the only one in house at the time. I wish I had stellar experience like 90% of the prior reviewers but this spot is a one and done for me. I can't justify coming back if your espresso lacks depth when you present your shop as an espresso bar.

    Coffee 5/5 Price $$$ Service 5/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 A former boba shop has found new life as one of the neighborhood's newest coffee destinations, and after visiting during its soft opening, it's easy to see the potential. One of the baristas shared that the café was only in its third week of operation and graciously apologized for still perfecting their coffee program. The apology turned out to be unnecessary. The Banana Mocha was the standout--refreshing, subtly sweet, and infused with real banana flavor that never veered into the artificial. It disappeared so quickly we never managed to take a photo. The Matcha Blanco was equally impressive, striking a balance between creamy and rich while preserving the earthy, traditional character of quality matcha. Watching the drinks come together added to the experience, as each matcha was whisked to order behind the bar. The café's design already has a strong sense of identity. The exterior, service counter, and thoughtful decorative details create a charming first impression. The interior seating, however, still feels like a work in progress. With just a few wall benches and small stool-like tables, the space is better suited for a brief visit than settling in for an afternoon. Even so, this is the kind of neighborhood café worth seeking out. Come for a thoughtfully crafted drink, bring a friend you're hoping to impress, and plan on a quick catch-up over coffee. If the quality of the beverages is any indication, this young café is already off to a promising start.

    This is one of a kind cafe in Brea. As a disclaimer, this is a grab-and-go kind of place, but you can also stand and enjoy the interior as you sip on your choice of drink. Also, unless you're an espresso advocate, it may be hard to order some of those typical drinks, like a Cream Top Latte. Try exploring their more robust espresso drinks! I came in during the soft opening and I can say it's quite impressive. Great service, great explanation of their drinks, and great presentation. I had their Cold Brew and Mont Blanc, and I can say that their drinks are quite robust. The Cold Brew isn't too acidic, yet has a good nutty and light cherry chocolate flavor element. The Mont Blanc is their popular cold drink, so I would recommend that. I always rank cafes based on cold brew taste, and by that standard, I definitely recommend it. I hear that their espresso is something worth trying while enjoying the cafe's ambience. I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy their espresso drinks.

    Would I come back? HECK YEA. This place is so unique & high quality. OVERALL: ‣ Good service, small spot (good for grab-and-go or a yap) ‣ Specialize in espresso but have a good variety Here's What I Got: Orange Bianco ‣ [9/10] ‣ Orange juice, espresso, cream top ‣ Don't sleep on this combination !! It's refreshing & the espresso with cream top really hits the spot ‣ It is recommended to NOT mix the drink, but to be able to taste the layers ATMOSPHERE: ‣ Good for solo date or just to chill ‣ Not the best to study bc the interior is small, no tables, no outlets PERSONAL INSIGHT (My opinion will differ from others because of my personal taste and preferences): ‣ I don't like Starbucks bc of the weird after taste & prefer small/local businesses PARKING: ‣ FREE parking, but EXTREMELY limited. They share with neighboring businesses. They do have a 'pick-up' only spot! STAFF: ‣ Super helpful & patient. Definitely ask for recommendations!! The owner Dane is amazing!

    Pros: * Parking lot * Friendly staff * Very clean Cons: * Drinks were just okay * No food * Hard seating without outlets, so you won't be studying, working, or hanging out here It is an Asian styled coffee house so very minimal decor. Almost austere. But did give you that zen feeling.

    I think I have a new favorite spot. They opened just a week ago, but the service is great and the drink I ordered (banana moka, less chocolate) was AMAZING. The space is simple and small, but aesthetically pleasing and clean. Very limited parking. A few designated for the old shop in this spot before. I visited at 8am on a Monday and I was able to get an easy spot with several left open.

    Matcha coco was super yummy! However seating is limited, and parking is very limited as well.

    Writing this as I'm waiting to get my drink... the vibes are off and not what a coffee shop should be. Customer service could be so much better, maybe smile a little? and it's $9 for a MATCHA?! Let's see if it's actually worth the price... It's good but I've had much better matcha that's under $9. Update: just mixed my drink and this matcha is WAY TOO bitter. This coffee shop has so much potential as Brea doesn't have a lot of coffee shop nearby. Disappointed, hopefully they can take criticism.

    Erica T.

    Coffee is delicious. Matcha on the other hand... it's okay. I'd skip out on it. The interior is so freaking gorgeous! Prices are expensive but please go out and support! We need great cafes in Brea area.

    Food: I got the Orange Bianco. It reminded me a lot of those chocolate bars with orange zest, but instead of chocolate it was espresso haha. The bottom is orange juice, then espresso, and then a cream top. It was really refreshing and had a good amount of caffeine. I was pretty jittery for the rest of the day, but didn't experience a caffeine crash. Service: The service was fast and helpful. I spent some time looking over the menu and the staff were great about recommendations. They asked what I usually drink and suggested items based on it. I feel like most places just suggest what's popular, but I enjoyed they personalized it to my taste. Ambiance: It's a cozy little space. It's overall quaint, so a nice place to unwind with a friend or two. I wouldn't suggest a super huge gathering. There's only bench style seats, so not ideal for a place to work or study. I'm excited to come back soon and try their other drinks :) IG / TT : @sototallymindy

    Seems like Communitea Coffee has cracked the code to what I-- at least-- am wanting from a coffee…read moreshop, starting with matcha. I got the earl grey matcha which are two of my favorite flavors it was of course delicious. Food: They had just rolled out a new menu that includes a slice of sourdough bread and butter for 5$. I'm really working on cutting out the sweet treats (which they have plenty of) so it was perfect for me. They also have wholesome foods such as breakfast sandwiches and burritos which-- if I didn't have dinner plans after my study session-- is always appreciated as too often the food at coffee shops are sugary pastries and a bunch of empty calories. Service was friendly and personable. Communitea shows its dedication to being a warm, welcoming third-space environment. There is a shelf filled with board games and a kids play area (if you have one of those). They have assorted merchandise like coffee beans, plants, mugs, chips & snacks, etc.. There were flyers for all types of events throughout the month. I don't often write reviews I don't even live anywhere near Brea, but I would love to see this business thrive if not expand.

I also ordered their Headliner which is Viet coffee with vanilla cold foam with sprinkles on top. This drink wasn't as strong as a typical Vietnamese coffee but it had a nice flavor. The Apple danish was quite delicious. Overall all 3 items rang up to be around $18 a bit pricey but the service and ambiance make up for it. Will be back here again soon to try out other beverages.

My personal favorite is the Smokin' Spaniard, probably because I'm a sucker for anything made with condensed milk. It's rich, smooth, and just sweet enough without being over the top. On a recent visit, I decided to try their new Pineapple Express. It was a hot day, and I was in the mood for something fruity and refreshing without any caffeine. It was decent - light and refreshing, though it didn't quite stand out as much as their coffee drinks for me. Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries and coffee spots.

That level of customer service really stood out. They didn't just make a drink--they helped us find something we'd genuinely enjoy. Both the espresso and the cold brew were incredibly smooth with no bitterness at all, and every drink tasted well-balanced.

Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe.

They were doing a BOGO 1/2 off deal on their matcha drinks, so I tried the peach matcha first. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste any peach at all. It honestly felt a little gimmicky because if I didn't know it was supposed to be peach, I probably wouldn't have guessed it. For my second matcha, I got the jasmine matcha. I liked this one more because I could actually taste the jasmine tea. It was floral but also subtle and didn't overpower the matcha. That being said, I do think their matcha is on the lower quality side. I could see grains of matcha along the cup, and the drinks themselves were on the grainier side. The matcha also had a noticeable bitterness to it. I also ordered their peach oolong citrus tea. I wasn't able to adjust the sweetness, which I normally prefer to do with fruit teas. Fortunately, it wasn't too sweet, probably because of the amount of ice. I also wasn't able to adjust it to a lower ice level. I also didn't taste much citrus, so mostly tasted like a peach green tea from starbucks. Overall, this visit was a disappointment, especially since I enjoyed their Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte so much the first time. I would still come back for that drink, but I probably wouldn't order their matcha again.
