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.

Otherwise, they have a good amount of indoor seating with plenty of room for strollers - it's very kid friendly here.

It was made with bourbon reduction, maple, hickory, sea salt, and of course, espresso & milk. Although I couldn't really taste the bourbon, all the other flavors were present from the sweet maple, smokey hickory, and occasional bursts of sea salt. Oh, and a great roast of coffee. This was a coffee drink I'd come back for again and again. The pastry case looked inviting but I was stuffed from lunch so passed. But dang, they amazed me with that smokey maple latte!

I got the squid ink matcha which is salty inside and has matcha chocolate on the outside. The ube bread is delicious and it has real sweet potato as filling inside.

The blueberry was great but the matcha portion was alright. It was an extra dollar to sub for oat milk. Overall I like coming here occasionally to try their baked goods and I also enjoy coming here to study for a bit. There is lots of free parking in the plaza as well.

The café has a bright, cozy, and minimalist atmosphere with warm wood tones and soft pink accents. The space is clean and well maintained. They also have a nice selection of pastries and breads, including different kinds of croissants and salt bread. I ordered The Usual, their cream-top latte. The cream was very thick and heavy, almost like whipped cream, so I think it may be a matter of personal preference. The coffee itself was decent, but I didn't find the flavor particularly unique or memorable. The staff were friendly and the service was good.

Not much indoor seating and no immediate outdoor seating. One person working. She was quick to greet, attentive, and quick to serve. Two drinks: oolong MT with Golden Boba amd Thai Blended. Oolong MT tasted like sweet, non-dairy creamer. Granted, I used to eat powered non-dairy creamer by the spoonful, but a $6 drink should be more well-rounded. Perhaps getting half sweet would enhance the mixture of tea, sweet, and creamer? The boba was medium-size (which I prefer over the larger boba). Thai (Tea) Blended was delicious. Hit just the right spot on this hot day. Not too many places have this drink, so I always grab when I can. I would def purchase it again.

I've been getting a little stir crazy at home and finally making the trek here was so worth it-- I felt more motivated than ever to get work done with a tasty treat. I'm not sure if it's because CSUF just started this week, or because I came on a Friday morning, but it was really spacious and open with tons of outlets (almost at each table). Not sure how other days are, but I'd love to bring my study group friends here in the future, since it's so hard to find places with enough space for study groups! Not to mention the clean bathroom haha and good wifi haha The staff here is also incredibly sweet and friendly, making it a comfortable and good experience. Because it was my first time, I asked the barista about her recommendation, and she also asked my general preferences to cater to my taste, and I ended up with a seasonal Birthday Cake Americano at half sweetness (since I don't have much of a sweet tooth). It was perfect for me! I don't usually get Americanos and have a sensitive stomach rn, but it was delicious and kind on my stomach lol. I also got a ham and cheese croissant, and maybe it could've been heated up a little more, but I did wait a bit to eat it, so it was no big deal. The other barista was also so sweet in answering my many questions haha The only struggle as others have mentioned is the parking - I ended up parking at the retail parking nearby, which had plenty of spots but can get pretty pricey, and it sounds like you can park in the areas others have mentioned still (like The Hub I guess has "New Here" parking spots or the employee parking spots?), so I'll need to look more next time. But there's quite a bit around the area within walking distance, you can easily make a day out of it too. Also since it is at the first floor of an apartment in a college town, there will be students going in and out, so just be prepared for that haha -- reminded me of dorm days, and I'm glad students have a spot like this :) Overall, the yummy coffee, amazing vibe and beautiful ambiance, especially as a study spot, alongside the kind and comfortable service has been just what I've been looking for in a coffee shop around here, and I'm excited to return! Thank you New Here!

Parking J's advertised on signs to be located in the parking garage next door. Upon driving inside, there are only TWO designated parking spots for the coffee shop; all other spots are for employees and assigned spacing. This put a damper on our visit to this place. Located a few blocks away from CSUF, this coffee shop is connected with an apartment building for CSUF students. There is ample space to study, numerous outlets, and plenty of chairs inside the shop. The windows are very big, letting in a tremendous amount of lighting. This is an ideal study space, which I wish I had when I went to this campus years ago. The interior design is very lovely and aesthetically pleasing. We ordered at the counter where one barista was located. They had about seven seasonal drinks, a consistent menu, and a window of pastries. I opted for their pumpkin vanilla americano and my fiancé got their Study Buddy. You can taste the coffee in both drinks. The study buddy has oat milk, hints of lavender, and the strong taste of honey. The pumpkin vanilla americano was quite sweet - the americano gives it the strong coffee taste, but the sweetness is quite overpowering. I don't think we'd be back to visit since parking is quite difficult. The barista wasn't too welcoming and there was hardly anyone inside. Their coffee is decent, but nothing I'd fight to find parking for. The interior, again, is very lovely and fantastic for students to study in. Thanks for having us!
