Great service! The lady at the front recommended a pistachio matcha latte. I like my drinks with a balance of sweet and the taste of matcha/ or coffee. I could taste the pistachio and the matcha! The chocolate cake was delicious. Available parking and seating inside. My sister ordered a biscoff cheesecake. She loved it. It was a good size too, for a little treat. Happy atmosphere. Me and my sister were satisfied. Thank you! read more

Wow, where do I start, where do I start? I went with my wife and we both ordered a Biscoff latte and two garnishes. One was a banana pudding, and it was so good; I was asking my wife to not touch the banana pudding so I could have it all to myself. Today, the next day, I ended up going back and getting another Biscoff latte. It's really good. The place is very clean, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and it was a nice environment.

Stopped two days in a row after meaning to check it out for a while. Since it's a bit out of my way, I made sure to take full advantage. Janjoun, who was at the front both days, was welcoming. Not just to me, but to every customer who walked in. She's super sweet and helpful, offering recommendations tailored to what you usually enjoy. The Biscoff latte was delicious and perfectly balanced. It wasn't too sweet or cloying. I'm not sure what beans they use, but it made me jittery, something I've rarely experienced with other coffees. The tres leches cake was delicious as well. I had a few bites and saved the rest. It's bigger than it appears in the photos. Second visit, I tried the pistachio latte, Biscoff cheesecake, and a piece of baklava. The pistachio latte was fantastic. It had authentic pistachio flavor (not an artificial taste). I finished it before I even got home. The cheesecake and baklava were both divine. I shared them with my husband, and he loved them too. I was so happy to find fresh baklava in a café setting rather than a restaurant or pre-packaged. read more

Came on a Saturday around noon. It wasn't packed but it wasn't empty. We ordered the banana pudding, Spanish latte and stories double! 10/10!! The Spanish latte tastes like an horchata latte, just a tad sweet but it was still good. The Stories double was good and strong! Will be coming back to try their other options. The baristas were also nice and greeted when we came in so that's a plus!! read more

The coffee is good and strong. The espresso is just enough an added shot is gas to an empty engine. The biscoff latte is great. Service is friendly and create quality drinks. read more

Stories Cafe - Biscoff iced latte with extra shot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Whittier, California

After a tough loss in my Sunday league soccer match I was feeling down and decided I needed coffee. I saw this place was a quick 5 minute drive, so I headed over instantly. I ordered the Stories Double Iced Latte and man did it deliver. For those who love the bitterness of coffee and like it strong, I highly recommend this drink. There are also other sweeter options but in this case I was in need of a quicker picker upper drink. The espresso shots instantly hit a dopamine surge in my brain that made me forget the tough soccer game loss I experienced earlier that morning. Previously feeling down, all of sudden my moral boosted as I was sipping on this Stories Double Iced Latte. They also have a Biscoff latte in which I was very tempted to try. Maybe next time i visit this place I will order this drink. Parking situation is very easy as they have plenty of parking spots in the plaza. Could get busy but baristas are quick with orders, making lines go by fast. Restrooms are clean and overall space inside is well maintained with great AC for those hot sunny days. They also have free wifi. I could see myself working remotely here in the future, however I am concerned that it may be tight inside as the space inside this cafe is limited. read more

I had a lovely experience at Stories Cafe (Whittier). I ordered the Pistachio Latte ($8 - Iced). This coffee tasted like a fresh creamy pistachio! I felt myself smile as I greedily sipped. It's TASTY! I arrived at Stories Cafe (Whittier) on Thursday (around 11:37AM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. Staff is professional, knowledgeable, and hard working. Staff provided wonderful recommendations, and Staff eagerly answered my questions. My drink took one minute and 40 seconds. Very fast! As mentioned, I love the Pistachio Latte ($8 - Iced). It carries a creamy pistachio flavor that tasted natural and fresh. I felt awake after sipping. It masterfully balances utility and flavor. I couldn't hide my happiness as I continued to laugh aloud. I'm so happy that this location's exceptional reputation is well-earned. Regarding ambiance, Stories Cafe (Whittier) is clean, well-ventilated, and comfortable. The ceiling is very tall, so it felt very spacious. There's two very long counters with many chairs, and there's three tables. Stories Cafe (Whittier) also has utility. There's four available electrical outlets (some embedded in the counter); there's even slots for usb cables. There's also customer internet with password; its info is very visible since there's several mini internet signs on its tables. There's also a gender neutral restroom. And there's a small water station in the corner. The instrumental music is also very soothing. Overall, I had a delightful experience at Stories Cafe (Whittier). I'm so happy that the hype is real. If you love coffee, this is a must-try. 5 out of 5 "GO." read more

We got the chai and the pistachio latte, both were perfectly sweet & so creamy. The pistachio latte was so unique, smooth and bold. A must try if it's your first time! read more

This café is such a vibe. Cozy, aesthetic, and a great place to hang out. We tried the Stories double latte, toffee nut latte, and banana crème matcha, and every drink was so good. The flavors were on point and not too sweet, which I really appreciated. The banana crème matcha was surprisingly one of my favorites. For pastries, we had the Dubai chocolate croissant and the Dubai chocolate-covered strawberry cup, and wow. If you love chocolate, you'll love these. Super rich, indulgent, and perfect to share. The staff was really nice and helpful, and the whole place just feels warm and welcoming. It's the kind of spot you can sit at for a while without feeling rushed. Definitely adding this to our regular coffee rotation. read more

I came here with a friend who was raving about how great this coffee cafe is. It's small, aesthetically pleasing, and only has a handful of two-top tables along a wall as well as a couple outdoor tables. They offer a variety of coffee drinks and a spectacular pastry case full of goodies. I ordered a Spanish latte while my friend got a dulce de leche latte. I also got a couple of pastries - a chocolate chip muffin and an apple danish. It was a cool, fresh morning so we decided to sit outside where our orders were kindly brought to us. The Spanish latte had a wonderful, mixed cinnamon and mocha flavor. I had multiple sips (more than I should have) of my friend's dulce de leche latte, which was sweet with a deep caramel taste. Both were excellent. The muffin was fresh and full of chocolate chips while the apple danish was incredible, soft & fresh with multiple thin apple slices on top of some sort of cream filling. As an aside, I was impressed with how squeaky clean the restroom was. read more

I've been seeing a lot of posts about this place, so my husband and I decided to check out Stories Cafe in Whittier a few Sundays ago. It wasn't too busy, which was nice. The shop itself is clean, and the person taking our order was friendly and even gave us a few suggestions. My husband got the pistachio latte, and I ordered the matcha latte. Both drinks were over $8, which felt a bit pricey for what we got. Unfortunately, my matcha was too sweet for my taste, and overall the drinks didn't really stand out. With all the hype, I was expecting something a little more aesthetically pleasing or unique, but everything felt pretty basic. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not something I'd personally go out of my way for. read more

Stories Café is very nice and aesthetic inside -- modern, clean, and cozy. I loved that they had Christmas decorations up, which made the space feel extra warm and inviting. The pastries looked delicious, but I was in the mood for something savory and unfortunately they didn't have any options. Not a dealbreaker, just something to note. The staff was super friendly, and our coffees were made very quickly. I ordered the Biscoff iced latte, and it was delicious. I especially loved the Biscoff shreds on top -- such a nice touch. My boyfriend got the toffee nut iced coffee, and he really enjoyed it. His exact words: "I don't know what they put in this, but it's good -- it's nutty and crunchy. I like it." Overall, great coffee, friendly staff, and a beautiful space. Would definitely come back, especially for the drinks! read more

I stopped by to try this coffee shop and overall it was an ok experience. The shop has a clean, open concept layout, but it's oddly shaped, there's really only room for about three people to stand in line since the entrance is directly behind the ordering area. Service was fine, nothing standout but not bad either. I ordered a hot Biscoff latte and a hot Spanish latte. The drinks are a bit pricey, which I understand since they only offer one size (16 oz). Personally, when I'm trying a new coffee shop, I prefer having the option of a smaller size like a 12 oz or less. Unfortunately, I didn't really care for either latte. They weren't terrible, just not my preference. Still, it was nice to sip on them while I was there and check out the space. I may not rush back for the coffee, but I'm glad I gave it a try. read more

Delicious coffee and such a great vibe. My favorite part, honestly, is the coffee cup, it's so unique and makes the whole experience feel a little more special. I usually go for the latte or the iced coconut latte, and both are consistently really good. The space itself is inviting, clean, and filled with natural light, which gives it a really positive energy. The people working there, whether they're the owners or not, are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Prices are pretty standard, and I actually like that they offer one cup size. It takes the guesswork out and it's more than enough. They also have a nice selection of pastries and food, but for me, it's all about the coffee (and that cup!). Definitely worth checking out. read more

My wife and I recently stopped by Stories Cafe and was really impressed with their lattes. The latte was smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced--not too strong and not too milky. You can tell they put care into making their drinks because the flavor was rich and really well done. I'm a big chocolate lover, so I had to try their Nutella latte, and it was amazing. The chocolate-hazelnut flavor was perfect and not overly sweet, and it blended really well with the coffee. It was honestly one of the best flavored lattes I've had. The staff was also very welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and great service. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I've been hearing about this all over Instagram and I'm always passing by it. I finally came in on a Sunday morning. Parking was amazing not crowded at all. As you walk in, you see all of the pastries and sandwiches as well as the menu. The waitress was very friendly and we talked for a little bit. I ended up getting a maple butter iced latte. Oh my God it tasted like fall in a cup. I'm already a sucker for maple so you know I have to get it. I also got two slices of baklava for $9 each and it was so worth it. It's humongous and not a really sweet like other places. The decor is adorable. You've got ornaments all over. There is an Arabic phrase on the wall in gold, but unfortunately I can't read Arabic lol even though I'm Egyptian. This is the one for the books. I'm gonna have to definitely come back here and try more. Cannot wait for the next time. read more

A great addition to the Whittier/ Santa Fe Springs area. Adds more diversity in the best way. The shop is clean, open concept, and very welcoming. I would say the entrance is a little awkward but that's not even a big deal. The two girls behind the counter were very friendly and welcoming and recommended the Biscoff cookie latte. Very good! I would recommend people to visit if you're looking for a new coffee place! read more

The lady who took our order was so nice and asked how we liked our coffee. She recommended the Biscoff Latte and it was one of the best drinks I have had. The worker even told me she would make me something else if I didn't like my order. We also had their Dubai Chocolate Tresleches and it was so yummy. 1000/10 food, coffee, and service. read more

I love how the giant windows light the space up so well! I ordered a strawberry matcha and tried their banana pudding as well. The strawberry matcha was very smooth and not overly milky, but was a tad sweet for me. The banana pudding was really good, but I definitely had to split it into multiple snacking sessions since it gets too sweet. I would definitely come back and try their other drinks! read more

Very aesthetically pleasing cafe- with delicious coffee! I love the  unique variety of coffee they have. I decided to get the Nutella latte which I really enjoyed. The Nutella flavor comes through really nicely, strong enough to taste but not overwhelming at all. I also had the salted cinnamon roll, and it paired so well with the latte. The staff was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Plus, it's so close to me, which is dangerous in the best way! I'll definitely be back soon, and most likely try the Pistachio Latte or Biscoff Latte. read more

My coffee/matcha budget was pretty ridiculous last year that I promised myself I would keep my artisan brews to a minimum this year by only purchasing them on special occasions. Well, I ended up cheating on this day because I saw a Pistachio Matcha drink, and I love both flavors. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste the matcha or the pistachio. It just tasted like milk that used to have cereal in it. I was pretty upset at myself for paying $8 for it + tip. I couldn't even stay for very long because it was so cold and loud inside the coffee shop. $8 though? It wasn't ceremonial grade matcha. read more

Great little spot in the area! What really left me a good impression is after ordering and going to the bathroo, the barista put the latte in the fridge so the ice doesn't melt. Latte here was strong and sweetness was just right. Parking was easy so I would definitely come back when I'm in the area again! read more

Kind, friendly, and quick service. I ordered the strawberry matcha -- it was good, though slightly powdery (likely just the matcha). My cousin got the coconut milk matcha; if you like a creamier drink, you'll probably enjoy it, but it wasn't her favorite. The croissant was fresh and tasty. The tres leches cake was good and moist, though it didn't really need the Dubai chocolate topping. Overall, a solid spot with friendly service and good drinks and pastries. read more

A newer cafe that opened in the area, I'm always passing by and finally decided to stop by! Very glad I did! I got their pistachio matcha with almond milk. Solid pistachio flavor as well as good matcha (which they actually whisked)! Flavors mix well together with the nuttiness of the pistachio but not overpowering. Just sad how normal it is for drinks to be almost $9 but that's how it is across the board :( if they're using quality ingredients including good ceremonial matcha then I could justify the price Their baked stuff looks so good too. I'll definitely need to drop by again to try one! read more

The drinks and snacks were delicious!!! Customer service is fantastic! Ambiance is perfect for studying.

I've been visiting Stories Cafe at least once a week lately, and it never disappoints! Their desserts are always so tasty (a little on the pricier side, but totally worth it, plus its super cool to support a new local business). My favorite sweet treats so far have been the cinnamon roll, and the chocolate cake, the chocolate cake has actually been one of the best chocolate cakes my friends and I have ever had. The drinks are consistently good, and their matcha is especially delicious. My favorite is the coconut matcha, which is made with coconut water instead of milk, it's so refreshing! They have something for everyone in their menu. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly, and give great recommendations. Even though the café is a bit small, I've always been able to find a cozy spot to sit. Overall, Stories Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite places to relax and treat myself. Highly recommend! read more

Ive tried their pistachio matcha and mango matcha. Both drinks are delicious, sweet, refreshing, and had strong pistachio and mango flavors, with that smooth matcha flavor still shining through. My favorite was the pistachio matcha. It had a nutty and strong pistachio flavor, with a smooth and bold matcha undertone. The mango matcha was so fruity and refreshing, just perfect for a hot day. A bit too mango-ey for my preference, but I can definitely see why it is a popular choice and would really recommend it for those who enjoy fruitier drinks! Their service is friendly, helpful, and attentive as well :) the girls who work here are always so sweet! Overall, would highly recommend this spot !! read more

Seeing this coffee shop on different socials , I wanted to try it since it was not too far from where I live. I'm always looking for a new place to try out what they have to offer. Ordered the Nutella latte and the pistachio matcha both were ok. Shop was clean . Staff was friendly and accommodating. I didn't wait too long but the customers ahead seemed to have been there for a while. Totally understandable since this is a new place trying to get its footing . They have lots of good looking choices for desserts .The only issue I had was the portion of the Dubai chocolate tres leches cake. At a $9 price point I was expecting a little more of a serving.,it was less than a scoop. It tasted fine but definitely worth the $9 spent. Not sure I'd go back. At over $30 including gratuity for three items that were just ok, I honestly find it difficult to be motivated to return. I wish them the best. read more
