    Ham cheese apple arugula - delicious goodness
    Tammy N.

    Amazing as usual!! Great customer service even with their busy and overwhelming crowd. Chandlor/Chandler- so sorry if I misspelled your name and didn't want to ask you to repeat due to the line. The whole staff had great teamwork and so amazing with their service! The food is fresh, delicious, and a good fill. Place is nicely decorated and welcoming vibe. Good variety of food and drink options. Lots of available parking but can be a tad tight due to the shops available in the plaza.

    Latte & toast
    Kelley K.

    Excellent coffee! Super wonderful coffee. I had a latte and it was so good! The workers were nice & a bit over whelmed. Place is small. We sat outside. Tables definitely needed to eat cleaned off. We wiped with a napkin & they were full black dirt. Did i mention the coffee is amazing?! The toast was good & the Acai bowl was a smoothie in a bowl. Needed a straw not a spoon. Coffee & toast the stars!

    Honey Cold Brew W/ Vanilla Cold Foam
    Helen P.

    Great coffee, great service! Second time here and loved the coffee both times. Today I got their cold brew and though it was the honey with vanilla cold foam, it wasn't too sweet, perfect amount of sweetness for me.

    Breakfast sando

    This place is so consistent! The atmosphere is cute and quaint. The service is always friendly. The coffee is always just fine quality. The breakfast Sando is so good. I also love the hot rose latte with almond milk. Will be coming back.

    Brad's Way Iced Shaken Espresso
    Michelle N.

    Wanted to try a new coffee shop and luckily this place had a sale the time we ordered! I got the Brad's Way Iced Shaken Espresso and it was BOGO Free! It was light, but still had the espresso kick I needed. The hints of hazelnut topped it off. Wish it was given in a bigger size! Similar to the 85 degrees Coffee. If you like that, you'll like this.

    Caramel Blended Frappe
    Alexis R.

    For a $67 breakfast order... I'm really unimpressed. Got two coffees and 2 sandwiches. My $19 BLAT was delivered wrong. No avocado or the arugula I added. And my caramel frap came without whipped cream or caramel drizzle as advertised online... that was the selling point for me. Otherwise I would have just gotten a caramel macchiato. But the sandwich issue was definitely really disappointing. If it wasn't such an expensive place, the mistakes probably wouldn't have bothered me that much.

    Banana Hazelnut Cold brew
    Brigitte M.

    Solid sandwiches and coffee. Ordered the Turkey Avocado Sando and the Banana Hazelnut Cold Brew. Sandwich was great. I added bacon for a nice crunch, but good country bread and fresh ingredients. Cold brew was a bit sour, but the banana hazelnut flavor helped cut that. Didn't eat in, so can't speak to the service or ambiance, but would get a sandwich and a different latte next time.

    Next Level Breakfast Sando
    Jeannie L.

    Stopped by this local cafe and overall had a solid experience. I ordered a medium honey vanilla cinnamon latte and a "next level" breakfast sando, total came out to $25 with tip. The barista was super nice and gave me a heads-up that the latte runs on the sweeter side (which I usually love), so I appreciated the warning. The drink was definitely sweet so if you don't like sweet drinks, I'd opt out, but still tasty overall. The "Next Level Breakfast Sando" was good and filling. Only small downside was that the avocado looked a bit past its prime, though it tasted fine overall. I came around 6:30am and it was pretty quiet, but it picked up fast between 7-7:30am. The cafe looked clean, has a handful of seats, and they played modern popular music, which gives it a nice vibe. Friendly service, solid food and drinks - I'd come back to try more items if I'm in the area.

    Breakfast Sando
    Tiarra J.

    Steadfast Cafe is a small little spot tucked away in a shopping center, and it was such a pleasant surprise. There are tables inside and outside, and it had that easy morning vibe with people hanging out and sipping coffee. I ordered the Breakfast Sando to share with my broke bestie, aka my 10-year-old son, and it absolutely understood the assignment: flaky, buttery croissant, smoky thick-cut bacon, fluffy eggs, melty gouda, and a sriracha mayo that gives it a little kick without taking over. Rich, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a breakfast sandwich. My son is a breakfast sandwich connoisseur (he gets them everywhere), so I asked for the official verdict. He took a bite and said, "This breakfast sandwich is incredible." Case closed. Service was fast and genuinely friendly. She wished us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I love that kind of warmth. Also grabbed an old-school Martinelli's apple juice, which was the perfect little throwback. Come for the croissant situation, stay for the kind service. Easy recommend.

    A cozy cafe located perfectly in the corner of a small business strip. A sizeable amount of seating for those wanting to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with their meal. The staff is friendly and fast with their service. I ordered the Honey Vanilla Cinnamon Latte which is smooth, rich and not too sweet. I also ordered their Ham and Swiss Croissant which was good.

    Blueberry Grilled Cheese with bacon

    Cute cafe with a very sweet staff. The blueberry grilled cheese is what brought me in and it was everything I imagined and more!

    Ham and Cheese Croissant
    Connie T.

    I was craving a croissant sandwich and found this spot through Yelp. It looked promising online, but when I got there, it really was a true hole-in-the-wall. The croissant looked great in the photos, but in person, it was pretty small for the price -- about $15 for a sandwich with just egg, avocado, ham, bacon, and lettuce. Definitely on the pricey side for what you get. I also tried the buttery lavender matcha, but it was just okay -- I've had better at other matcha spots. Service was friendly, but overall, I don't think I'd come back. Cute little place, just not worth the hype or price for me.

    Lox Bagel and Next Level Avocado toast
    Linda V.

    Came here Saturday morning with the bf on our bikes for a quick brunch based off yelp reviews after seeing this place. Parking is dicey in this little strip mall, when I realized I'd been here before a couple years back for the donuttery a few doors down but never wanted to come back because of the parking situation that I saw again today as we were leaving. Some dude in a truck parked in an off way sticking out, making it difficult for people to get by his parked truck. It's a cute place. Outdoor, some indoor seating available and a decent menu. No place to actually lock up your bikes but you can probably lock it to their gate. We didn't have to though because we ate outside by our bikes without issue. He ordered the lox bagel and I got the next level avocado toast. There are 6 outside tables and when we were there 4 were empty but the wait was still a bit long so don't come if you're in a hurry or order ahead of time to avoid the wait. Next level avo toast was good. I think I would've preferred no feta cheese and some thin sliced red onions instead. Lox bagel had tomato, which was not bad, but we could've done away with that and had more lox. All in all good portions and healthy alternative to what I normally don't like at pancake/waffle breakfast diners that do superfluous amounts of carbs with no balance in protein unless you pay for an extra order of it. Bummed the cookie on the side of their sign is faded because it's super cute (with freckles!) didn't order coffee because we biked there but will try another time.

It took almost 10 minutes for the order to be ready. American Express is accepted here. Sea Salt Coffee: This was on the signature section so I had big expectations for it. It was a very small drink (9 oz). It was slightly salted, tasted bitter, and wasn't sweet despite having condensed milk as an ingredient. It wasn't good. Canale: Despite having to wait for the drink, I needed to wait longer for this because the staff forgot to put it in the order. I needed to wait for them to prepare it in the back and also go back to the counter to charge for it. All to wait for something that was mushy. Coffee Beans: I saw there were coffee beans from Glitch in Japan. It was a brand that I loved there so I wanted to give it a try. I don't usually like fruity notes but this was really delicious. However, it's extremely pricy for how little beans there is.

They've been consistently amazing ever since they opened, and somehow they've only gotten better over time. I honestly enjoy just about every drink on their menu, especially their seasonal specials. My all-time favorite has to be their 2026 Spring Earl Grey Matcha. I was getting it almost every week, and I was genuinely sad when they switched over to their summer menu. Thankfully, they kept the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha, because wow... what a flavor explosion. It's easily one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had, and my friend and I keep coming back just for it. I know it sounds a little adventurous, because it did to me, but when I tried it, it genuinely changed my life (kidding). If mango isn't your thing, I highly recommend either the Double Matcha or the Banana Matcha. The Double Matcha is perfect if you love a strong matcha flavor; you can really taste the quality of the matcha they use. As for the Banana Matcha, I normally don't gravitate toward banana drinks, but SIP completely changed my mind. They use what tastes like a banana pudding instead of artificial banana flavoring, and it blends so smoothly with the matcha that every sip feels balanced and indulgent. The café itself is just as charming as the drinks. The wood paneling gives the space a cozy, retro vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming.

Now the MATCHA I looooved their matcha with the Earl Grey foam top. OMG... it was phenomenal!! The matcha was earthy, umami, and so well balanced, and the hint of Earl Grey in the foam complemented it perfectly without overpowering the matcha. Such a good combination! I will 100% be coming back for this one!

It can be enjoyed on its own, but I recommend consuming this with the fish chips. It's a great starter! CHICKEN WINGS - the best wings ever! I've had something similar from Pok Pok Wing in Las Vegas (sadly, all their locations are closed). My husband and I have not found a spot that prepares wings with caramelized fish sauce and garlic until now. We were brought back to our happy memories of the sticky, sweet, and umami flavors. Don't skip out on this! Main dishes: CURRY CRAB OMELET - I really enjoyed this one. I don't normally have crab with an omelet. This was a great combo! There was a perfect amount of crab. It was simple, but it had a lasting impression. I was able to taste every ingredient in this dish. I kept coming back for more. SEAFOOD TOM KHA PASTA - another hit! It was creamy, savory and aromatic. A dish I also kept coming back for more. FILET MIGNON BÁNH MÌ CHẢO - I only ate a small portion of this because I got full from the other dishes. The medium-rare filet mignon blanketed under the black peppercorn sauce was a tasty bite! We took the left over home and the next day I devoured the rest. Drinks: MANGO STICKY RICE MATCHA LATTE - what a combo! This could pass as a dessert if you didn't want to eat anything else after your meal. You are able to adjust the sweetness, which I did (75%). Next time, I'll leave it as 100%. Dessert: MANGO STICKY RICE - we ordered it without the peanuts. Visually, it was beautiful! The mango and coconut against the purple sticky rice really popped! Flavor wise, it tasted similar. The black sesame salt was pretty subtle though. This was more of a refined version of the traditional dessert. Our server was personable and attentive.

I love that their banana matcha is super light, not too heavy, comes with oat milk, and has toffee bits that compliments the drink. I've tried a few other drinks from their menu which were also worth mentioning: double matcha latte and their triple coco thai tea. The double matcha latte was still really sweet without the double shot of matcha being too overpowering or bitter. Their triple coco thai tea was surprisingly really good since I normally don't like coco drinks. It felt more like a dessert since it was a little heavy and came with thai tea soft serve and coconut crisps that compliments the drink!

I wouldn't say it was bad by any means, but personally, there are other coffee shops nearby that I'd choose first.

    Consistently great service. Bigger space…read more Good coffee, free refills. But no whole milk or half & half. I got 2% milk. Great place to cowork, lots of space and comfortable chairs, if you can handle slow WiFi & bad cell reception for Verizon if you're hotspotting.

    ​Food & Selection ​The Good: The food and desserts…read morethemselves taste great, and the overall ambience of the restaurant is pleasant. ​The Issue: The bakery case is rarely stocked properly. Even right at the 7:00 a.m. opening, the selection is only about 25% full, and they consistently run out of the best items by noon. ​Management & Service Decline ​There has been a noticeable shift in management over the last 6 to 9 months. It feels like leadership is focused entirely on "running lean" rather than prioritizing customer service, variety, and satisfaction. Consequently, the restaurant is rarely as full as it used to be, and overall business has visibly dropped off. Additionally, the dining area could use better attention, as the tables are not always clean. ​Drive-Thru & Morning Operations ​Attempting to visit during the morning commute has become consistently frustrating due to a rotating list of operational issues: ​Glitchy and problematic performance with the new app. ​Cones blocking the drive-thru lanes without clear reason. ​Doors failing to open on time, remaining locked past opening time of 7:00 a.m. ​Recommendation: To better serve commuting customers, management should consider moving the opening time to 6:30 a.m.--and crucially, ensure that operations actually begin on time. ​Summary Verdict ​This location used to offer great service and fully stocked cases. It has immense potential to be busy all the time, but management needs to shift its focus away from extreme cost-cutting and back toward building the business and taking care of its customers. I've spoken to several of the employees over the last few weeks and I'm hearing that they keep hearing this from their customer base. Hopefully someone in management will see this and bump things up a notch.

    I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

    My friend accidentally drove us to this location intending to go to the Garden Grove location, but…read moreit was a pleasant surprise to learn that they opened a second location here. I actually keep hoping that they open another location over near Cerritos/Artesia. There was a line leading outside of the building, but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered a pandan latte and I'd say it was just as good as their original location! Not overly sweet with a really tasty pandan flavor. Lots and lots of parking in the plaza. And service was very quick. There's very minimal seating on the left hand side of where you order. I wouldn't say this is the ideal shop to work in and hang out and chat, but that's fine.
