    lotus + strawberry matcha
    Ilyssa E.

    This place is so cute! As soon as i walked in i could sense a chill atmosphere. They have some nice r&b korean music playing on a speaker! The music and layout of the furniture sets a great tone. I got one of their sig drinks which is pretty much a cookie butter latte & i also tried their strawberry matcha. Both drinks were so delicious! The flavors were so good. I enjoyed the customer service here too. I felt really acknowledged even when leaving, those small moments make a difference! I will def be coming back again.

    - the interior felt like a cafe in Korea! All the decor was adorable - staff was super nice and explained the menu well - we got the matcha latte and yuzu bianca (latte with yuzu and a cream top) - the matcha was solid! A great quality for $6 which is rare these days! The yuzu bianca was indulgent and yummy as well but I would get less yuzu extract in there next time as it got too overpowering and sweet

    Lotus Cream Top Latte
    Canary H.

    Ssum Coffee was a cute little place that we had noticed on Yelp! We decided to stop by because it was fairly new with a few reviews. The parking here was quite cramped. There's sports to park to the left side of the building, but parking in front is harder without an exit or entrance, too. Upon entering, we noticed the cute, whimsical decor of the shop! They had seating with a tree right in the middle. The menu was posted towards the left side and near the cashier. I had waltzed in, knowing what I wanted to order thanks to other Yelp reviews. I ordered the Lotus Cream Top Latte. It was perfectly creamy, strong, and had a cookie on top. My fiancé ordered the Yuzu Bianco and he enjoyed the taste; it was refreshing. My brother ordered one of the Valentine's Drinks with a peach top and peach brew. He also really enjoyed his drinks. The employees here were friendly and willing to explain what their drinks were. They were quick to make them and it was delicious as well. For a new cafe, I think it was very well run and decorated. They have a variety of drinks and offerings. They also had different cookies and pastries. If you're in the area, I'd recommend making a stop here to try it out!

    Love brew (peach cold brew and peach cream top)
    Jhannell O.

    Ssum is a cute little cafe tucked in an unassuming plaza~ I went late March and they still had Valentine's seasonal drinks up which was nice because that's were the drinks I wanted to try. I got a Love Brew which is a peach cold brew with a peach cream top. The peach flavor was really strong. The cold brew itself wasn't acidic and didn't have a strong taste. So I thought the cold brew itself wouldn't be strong, but that's where my taste buds fooled me. The cold brew itself gave me such a productive day ahaha. The staff was super kind and gave me space while I was thinking of what to order. My drink came out in a timely manner. I wouldn't recommend working/studying here because it is small. I feel like you could totally make it work though if you don't mind a squeeze.

    Lotus cream top & strawberry matcha latte
    Sanny C.

    Maybe I should have ordered the corn latte or the spicy latte... I had this place bookmarked. Decided to drop by before heading to Garden Grove. We got the lotus cream top and strawberry matcha lattes. I didn't enjoy my lotus cream top. It was a bit too creamy. The espresso was there, but not much flavor. It tasted like a reg coffee with cream top. No lotus flavor. The biscoff cookie didnt do much either. After consuming half, I ended up tossing the drink. It wasn't bad. Just not up to my liking. The others didn't like the strawberry matcha lattes. They thought it was a bit watery. The taste couldn't compare to other places that offered the same drink. Didn't get to try the cookies. It looked good tho. Small lot. Could get pretty busy Service was alright

    stawberry, dubai chocolate cookie, strawberry matcha, yuzu bianca, yuzu tonic, sweet corn cream top, love brew (peach cream top, cold brew)

    Ssum is a cute little coffee shop tucked in a small plaza. Plenty of parking both in the front and back. The space itself is small but really cozy, with plenty of seating. I even came with my friends and her dog, this place is dog-friendly! The staff here are amazing. She took the time to explain the menu to us, which was super helpful. We ended up trying: - Strawberry, Dubai Chocolate Cookie - Strawberry Matcha - Yuzu Bianca - Yuzu Tonic - Sweet Corn Cream Top - Love Brew (Peach Cream Top + Cold Brew) I absolutely love their sweetness level, not too sweet and perfectly balanced. My favorites were their special menu : Love Brew, the peach cream top with cold brew, and Yuzu Bianca. So refreshing! Their cookies are super soft, delicious, and also not too sweet. The Strawberry cookie was a bit on the artificial side for me, but my friends loved it. The Dubai Chocolate Cookie was perfect in crispy & soft texture. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks and cookies!

    Corn latte. The interior is so cute
    Tiff W.

    Cute little cafe hidden in this plaza. I got the corn latte and my initaly sip was that it was too sweet however after giving it a good swirl the taste was well balanced. The interior was very cute and a few tables for people to sit. I also got to try the pretzel breakfast sandwhich which had a good twist! The other pastries also looked quite delicious!

    Matcha latte
    Kat S.

    It's okay, I tried it and supported a local place. The drink was average. Also, I think we had a miscommunication issue. There's a parking lot and a couple of seating options.

    Yuzu bianca
    Charlie N.

    Needed a place to get some remote done and saw that this was a new place in the area! PARKING: No issues with parking on a Sunday afternoon WHAT I ORDERED: Yuzu bianca THE DRINK: Right off the bat, this drink looked gorgeous with the layers of espresso and cream and the dried citrus slice! Think einspanner latte with a jammy yuzu flavor. The yuzu worked perfectly with the rest of the drink and was the perfect amount of sweetness, not too overpowering. The espresso was good too. Cream was perfectly sweetened, though my only critique was that it was kind of a lot of cream compared to the rest of the drink. SERVICE: Staff were very sweet and explained to me the different drinks VIBES: Good for working/studying! Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: Yes! A few outlets on the tables next to the wall * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, pretty good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean. But was a little awkward having to go to the back by the kitchen to use it * VOLUME: Music was not too loud * SEATING AVAILABILITY: On a Sunday afternoon lots of people were going in and out but seats were available * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions that I saw BOTTOM LINE: May have to be a new go-to! Would love to come back and try the other drinks (heard some people in line talking about the butter bar too)

    A cute Korean hole-in-the-wall cafe in a tiny and unassuming strip. The wood elements make the interior feel warm and inviting, even on a rainy day. The left banquette area has a few outlets and small tables, while the center has a larger, rounded seating / waiting area around a planter. We were greeted right away by the cashier. MATCHA EINSPÄNNER: 3/5. Rich and creamy. While yummy and decadent, the matcha flavor did not come through as strong as I would have liked.

    Ube white chocolate cookie $ 5.50 2.04.26

    Review 28/365 Day Challenge Came here with my friend Pow after a 4 mile hike at Peter's Canyon in Orange. It' is near her house and she's been coming here with her daughter. She recommended the Lotus cream top. Their signature drink. What We ordered ~ Lotus Cream Top signature drink $ 6.95 asked for 75% sweetness since reading reviews it's on a sweeter side drink. Definitely recommended indeed. The coffee itself is good and flavorful, it's a version of a biscoff latte. Topped w a yummy cream top and a biscoff cookie. ~ Dubai Chocolate Mochi cookie $ 6 is good and tastes like a Dubai chocolate like it's suppose to be. The center was crispy yummy. Mochi was chewy and good. ~ Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Mochi cookie $ 6 is as yummy as the regular Dubai chocolate but with a strawberry white chocolate center, more on the sweet side. Service was fast & associate was friendly. Manager Subinh was really nice. While enjoying my drink w my friend and getting ready to leave. She asked if i needed a drink carrier for my drink & cookies. Cute simple coffee shop w only interior seatings. Center of shop has a nice tree surrounded by benches. Has a cute dog logo on cups and packaging. Located next to a liquor store between a Coin op laundry. Decent amount of parking lot.

    First time visiting today. There were a few employees and they were able to get drink orders out quickly. The matcha was good and dark. This is appreciated! They had oat milk and almond milk. Great vegan option. You do pay extra. They had a full baked goods case. My husband who is not vegan got the butter bar. He enjoyed it but it was burnt on the bottom. They did not have vegan baked goods. They had valentines specials but they had a heavy cream topping which was not able to make vegan. It was a cute shop with varied seating and it was calm. It was not set up to stay for a long visit and it can crowd easily when the queue forms. It was about $20 for two drinks and butter bar We might come back

Make sure you park in a non-residential spot. Ambiance/Environment: I looove the vibes and decor here. The playful artwork makes you feel young again. Everything is kept well and clean. It's a studious environment, but also a nice spot for a coffee date. They sell cute merchandise located in the corner. I visited on a Friday morning around 10:00, and it was busyyy. They had a consistent line. Thankfully there were some spaces open to sit. Service: The cashier was extremely courteous and showed genuine care. She asked me how my day was and if I had any plans for the day. Despite it being busy, throughput was actually quick & efficient. Drinks & pastries: I tried their seasonal Salted Miso Caramel (latte) and Chocolate Croissant. The salted miso caramel sounds intimidating, but it was really good and not too sweet! All the flavors blended perfect together. The chocolate croissant wasn't too sweet either and had a good amount of chocolate. Pricing: The seasonal latte was $8, and the croissant was $5. Prices are more than average, but I'd definitely visit again to try their other drinks! Make sure to get a stamp card!

Don't forget to check out the small section of merch that they have in the front! I went on a Sunday at around 1:30 PM and was lucky to grab a table. After a brief wait, I ordered multiple items and got them all within reasonable time. I don't usually get espresso tonics but decided to grab one on this visit. They added an orange slice in their version; I felt this really enhanced the taste while still being subtle. The Pandan Blue Milk was another interesting drink, since a lot of people seemed to get it. While it tasted good and looked pretty, it really didn't taste like pandan. From the "eats" menu, also ordered the O.K savory toast and the Kaya jam toast for a savory and sweet balance. True to the description, the O.K savory toast tasted familiar to okonomiyaki. I really enjoyed this but did wish it was a bit more crispy. For the Kaya jam toast, I enjoyed this as well and was surprised it was not too sweet. We also got the Cornflake cookie from the front. This was good as well but leans towards the sweeter side. This store seems like a decent working location as I saw other people staying there for a while. WiFi is available and there are outlets present. The seating didn't have back support, so it didn't feel comfortable enough to stay for extended periods of time. There are restrooms but it's shared in the complex. American Express is accepted here.

The staff are friendly and nice. They'll ask for your name and they'll call it out when your order is ready. They're pretty quick getting your drinks. They have a merch store connected. They typically have collaborations and themed drinks/snacks so it's good to keep track of the events. Also they have the fancy toilets if you're curious to try one. I tried the Warrior of Light drink. It was pretty tasty and light. Not too sweet which is usually most drinks. I got just enough marshmallow flavoring. The Korpokkur Kid was fairly decent.

Overall, you're not coming here for high quality food/drinks but it's a fun place to hangout. And occasionally you'll find something nice.

The drinks barely tasted like strawberry and we were disappointed. I immediately regretted upgrading my size to 20oz too.
