Main character moment
Viviana C.

This Starbucks is giving "roomy but make it tiny." It feels spacious, yet there are only three tables... all sharing one long booth like a family reunion. Not really a fan of sharing a booth with strangers. I ordered the White Chocolaty Delight (aka a white mocha in disguise), and it did exactly what it needed to do. I was waiting for my ride, so I posted up with a book and pretended I was the main character. Low-key cozy, very much a vibe, would absolutely do it again just maybe at a different location.

Popped into Starbucks at a great location and loved how quick everything was! Staff were super friendly, and my Caramel Macchiato came out in no time- perfect for a little pick-me-up. Definitely a spot I'd stop by again! Starbucks 101 W Imperial Hwy, Brea, CA 92821

I love the decor in this Starbucks with some abstract art displayed. The City has a nice vibe to it and the patrons in friendly discussion. I ordered my food kept in the packaging and find I can keep a good supply for work and the weekends. I usually ask for a couple of slabs of butter, which are complementary and really add to the flavor, once toasted.

This is one of my favorite Starbucks. The employees are always friendly and get my coffee orders out in a timely manner.

Honey Citrus Mint Tea with loose tea floating

So what happened was. I feel like I'm getting a cold so I go into Starbucks in the gateway shopping center in Brea around 5 PM. There's no one in there, but the worker. A tall young man with curly hair. He doesn't greet me, doesn't say hello. I accept his rudeness because I just need the tea because I don't feel good. I order a medicine ball AKA Honey Citrus Mint Tea. I go to the restroom come out. My drink is on the counter no problem. He could be dry as hell whatever I just wanna get home drink the tea and feel better. So I can get inside my house I take a swig of tea and I have a mouth full of loose tea like literally.. What exactly happened? I've been to Starbucks many times over many years. I've had this medicine ball can't even count. How many times and I've never had loose tea in my drink. Very disappointed with the young man's dryness even more disappointed with having my order messed up.

Coffee anyone?

Stopped in for a quick coffee and egg bites which I totally forgot to take pictures of. I like this location the parking lot is a bit ridiculous cause the cars fly through here so parkers beware lol!! The service is great friendly and mostly quick. It's not my favorite Starbucks location but it's the closest one. So I would recommend just don't love the parking lot. Have a really beautiful day :) Be kind to everyone you meet - Aloha

Waiting area with screen
Diana M.

Parking here is chaotic! There are too many popular businesses in this corner making it really hard to park nearby. I placed a mobile order and really liked their screen showing status of orders. Their restrooms have code due to homeless. This location has been revamped to reduce seating area inside.

The waitress was lovely, and I made sure to leave a good tip. They have plenty of outdoor seating--it's a perfect spot to take a breather and recharge when I'm feeling worn out from driving Uber. A great place to clear your head.

Dark C.

I rarely go here anymore since the remodel. 90% of the indoor seating has been removed and the close much earlier now. Starbucks has made it clear they no longer welcome customers to just hang out unless you sit outside. The atmosphere is no longer inviting. I'll just make my drink at home where I'm welcome to hang out as long as I like.

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.

Everything about my experience here was wonderful and very hospitable BESIDES my coffee,…read moreunfortunately for me, the coffee was way too bitter for my liking. The baristas were very friendly and accommodating and added extra syrup to try and help my latte and offered to switch it out for me too; in the end I opted for a refund. I tried their iced pumpkin latte with salted maple cold foam (the foam was delicious) but just way too bitter espresso for my liking. Otherwise, they have a good amount of indoor seating with plenty of room for strollers - it's very kid friendly here. They have a kids toy play area in the back corner along with a game chest!!! & There is a restroom available inside and everything was pretty clean too.

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!

Conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The cafe itself is on the smaller side, but…read morethe furniture and interior are cute. There are only a few tables inside, and it seemed like most people were grabbing their drinks to go rather than staying for a while. I ordered the Vanilla Bean Latte, which was just okay. It was a little too sweet for my taste, and I've definitely had better vanilla bean lattes elsewhere. My friend ordered the Lavender Matcha and felt similarly, it was decent but nothing that particularly stood out. Service was a bit mixed. The cashier was friendly and welcoming, while the barista was less warm during our visit. Overall, it was an okay experience.

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 one thing is that I wish they would heat them up for us since it was sitting in their glass casings. I also enjoyed their blueberry matcha. 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 berry matcha has a strong flavor and the fresh, sweet berries in it perfectly complement the matcha bitterness. The foam on the top is not too heavy either. Can't wait to come back when i'm in the area!

This is my 5-6th time here and Ive finally perfected my order!…read more Pros: To start off, today I got the Iced Vanilla Latte and it's my new go-to! It's incredibly delicious and perfect this us my second day in a row here. My friend usually gets a flavored Matcha which is great, but got a Peach barley tea and said it was refreshing. The service is good, they get the drinks out fast. The menu has unique specialty options aswell. There is a good amount of seating and it's a very welcoming shop. Cons: -The sizing is very small for the price. A plain vanilla latte is $6.40 which is a bit steep. However, I understand that most cafes are pretty pricey now a day. (With that being said this is one of the only places i'd spend my money on.) -I have tried some of their specialty lattes and they are extremely sweet(I would recommend getting less sweet if youre more of a espresso person) -Parking is pretty terrible apart from early mornings Overall: The pros overlook the cons for me and I love this coffee shop! Worth the drive and is definitely my top 3. I would definitely recommend this place.

This café is located in a large shopping plaza with three coffee shops right next to each other…read more There's also an In-N-Out and Fogo de Chão nearby, so parking can get pretty packed during busy hours, although the plaza itself has a large parking lot. 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. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I didn't find anything particularly special about the coffee itself.

Omg! I just moved to the North OC area, and I'm happy to say I've found one of my new go-to coffee…read moreshop study spots in the area! :) I'm currently studying for a big exam, and it's been surprisingly challenging finding coffee shops to study at with the beautiful, modern, aesthetic ambience that makes me happy, without feeling anxious there won't be enough seats or space when I get there, esp since I have to drive a decent amount to get to cafes. 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!

Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). 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. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.
