Friendly service, delicious refreshments and coffee. Only size small and medium. Yummy desserts to eat with your coffee. Soft chill music. Well space room to sit, enjoy your treats, and room to study, read a book, or chat with friends.

Honey Cinnamon Latte
April C.

Randomly found this place as I was walking around The Source. This place is so cute. I'm the outside there's a bench with its own tiny nursery. Inside, it's connected to a clothing store so no outside food is allowed. Service is always great! First time I came, they had a Nutella latte on their speciality/seasonal menu. I also tried the blueberry cake slice which was also good. They have such cute cakes shaped as panda or a bear head. I haven't tried any of the pastries yet bc I'm usually looking at the coffee menu haha. But today I tried the honey cinnamon latte & it's so good! The perfect amount of sweetness from the honey/cinnamon and the perfect amount of bitterness from the espresso. Would definitely get again!

Store addition to the cafe.

This place is so cute! It's a drink and bakery shop with an additional half of merchandise you could buy, The bakery items we purchase were good. It wasn't too sweet but has the perfect amount of sweetness. The seating arrangement is welcoming. Service was helpful and welcoming.

Organic Jeju Matcha
Lani M.

Could not be more grateful that I found this spot while at The Source Mall! I visited The Bakery Cafe after dinner. There was no line when I went, but quite a few customers stopped by after I ordered. If you like matcha, I highly recommend their Organic Jeju Matcha Ice Blended! This is probably the best matcha drink I've ever had. Incredible matcha taste, super high quality. My friend ordered the Choco Earl Grey Latte,which was also AMAZING! I tried it and could really taste the chocolate and Earl Grey flavors. It was a very unique and delicious combination, and I'd definitely order this again next time. Looking forward to visiting back soon to try their pastries!

The Bakery Cafe gets very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Ordered the seasonal red bean latte that costed $7. I will not be ordering this drink again. the drink consisted of crush red bean that was sweetened with sugar and milk. My drink was mostly unmixed as can be seen in the picture with the red bean layer on the bottom.

Got this cute bear cake for a birthday! The bakery Cafe is on the second floor of the source on the Beach Blvd side. The mini cake was $28 and is cream and strawberry flavored. The server also included a knife, matches, and candles with our purchase. The cake aesthetically is super cute. The cake itself was a tad drier than I thought it would be. I wasn't bothered too much about it since the strawberry and cream was sweet, light, and refreshing as a whole. Super easy purchase if you want a small cake that a family of 5 can easily finish

Chiffon Sando
Gladys P.

Found this place on Yelp and it's less than a mile away from me so I couldn't wait to check it out. As soon as you walk in you see a display of cute little cakes, about $23-$28, for sure I'll be coming here the next time I need a cake. I was ready to have a slice of the Strawberry Cream Cake but then I saw the Chiffon Sando in another display case. So good, the cream cheese with the cake was delicious and the strawberries were so fresh. My daughter tried the Matcha + Oreo Cheesecake, she said all three of her favorite things in one dessert, it was so good she would want that as her wedding cake someday!

Staff touched my cake with bare hands--twice. Tried to hide it and still wrapped it up. Is this how hygiene works here?

The staff is usually friendly and they have a selection of bakery goods like cookies, scones, and bread. They also have plenty of seating and I often get work done here. The tables are usually clean and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming to hang out. The cappuccino is good flavor but most of the time my drinks are not really hot but more warm. I should probably just ask for them to make it "extra hot" but I forget. Anyway, if you're at the source and looking for a nice cappuccino and bakery break, this is your spot.

This is a review for the baking classes next door. This cute little place offers baking classes and their calendar is posted up in front every month. I've taken two so far and I had a blast! I made lots of delicious baked goods I could take home. I've learned a lot from just the two classes and it has improved my baking hobby. The picture is the cheese rolls I made in the last class!

I loved the vibes very clean and cute. They also were playing great music. I'd definitely work or study out of this coffee shop.

Not sure how I haven't been here sooner!…read more There are SO many specialty coffee shops opening up, but if you're looking for actual coffee and not a dessert disguised as a coffee drink, this place definitely stands out. The quality of their coffee is AMAZING! Parking: Parking is located in the back, and the entrance to the back lot is on Commonwealth Ave. Look for a small sign with their company logo. Parking was relatively easy on a Thursday afternoon, although I can definitely see it getting more difficult during peak hours. What we got: Madagascar Vanilla Cream -- $6.75 SO GOOD. I completely agree with everyone mentioning the sweetness level. To me, it was perfectly sweet and not overly sugary, even with the Madagascar vanilla cream on top. What I loved most was that the coffee flavor was still very noticeable. The milk and cream didn't overwhelm the coffee, and their house-made syrup tasted natural rather than artificial. Definitely one of those drinks where I could actually taste the coffee instead of just drinking a sweet dessert! Iced Americano -- $4.00 My partner really enjoyed this! They make a solid Americano. We've been to other coffee shops where there's literally coffee grounds sitting at the bottom of the cup , so I was very happy to see none of that here. The shop itself is relatively small, with around 4 tables inside. I noticed one outlet near the larger table. They have WiFi, so it's still a decent spot to get some work done. There's also a small outdoor patio in the parking lot with a few tables, and restrooms are available. Another thing I really love is their mission and commitment to inclusivity. They hire adult employees with developmental disabilities, which is amazing. They also have stamp cards for both drinks AND their own coffee beans. Definitely adding this to my list of coffee shops to come back to. I'll absolutely be returning!

This cafe knows their core drinks are winners and doesn't rely on full-menu revamps every season to keep customers coming back. As you can see, I am a repeat customer of their Matcha on matcha, but each of the other drinks have been delicious as well. The Orange tonic is on the sweeter side, but you can still taste the bitterness from the coffee and super fizzy tonic water. They put the freshest puree in the strawberry matcha with a natural-tasting sweetness. The goth latte is a must try that you can't find anywhere else. Arc both sells and uses Rocky's matcha in their drinks; a matcha which tastes nutty and roasty. Despite the batch mixing, the matcha is never clumpy or lacking in flavor. The inside is super minimal, yet approachable. While customers constantly rotate through the small space, there is never a long wait and I usually find a seat. The parking lot is small and can get tight during busy hours. Overall, Arc is a great spot for a consistently delicious dose of caffeine.

We visited Arc Coffee around 9:30 am on a Friday and it wasn't too busy…read more Drinks: I ordered the Matcha Einspanner and noticed they use Rocky's Matcha, although I'm not sure which one. The Rocky's Matcha I know and like is usually more nutty, while the matcha here leaned pretty grassy. It was smooth, but I personally prefer a nuttier matcha. I also didn't think the cream added much to the drink. Seating: Limited seating inside. Parking: The plaza parking lot is pretty small, but we were able to find a spot easily. Going around 9:30 am probably helped. The Matcha Einspanner was okay for me and not something I'd personally go out of my way for, but if you prefer a grassier matcha, this might be more your taste.

I ordered their ceremonial matcha latte (oat milk, simple syrup, 50% sweet) and it tasted way better this time around. I wouldn't say it's my absolute favorite, but it's definitely up there to my liking. Plus their newest menu item: heirloom tomato cream cheese bagel. Wow, perfectly toasted and the real highlight is the olive oil drizzle, fresh avocado and crushed pepper (slight spicy kick). Highly recommend.

The drink was nice and refreshing, but it was fairly small and didn't last very long. I also ordered the breakfast burrito (~$15). The burrito itself was tasty, but it was also fairly small in size for the price. It came with hot sauce on the side, but I would have preferred a salsa. Workers were nice but didn't do anything exceptional. Was looking for a place to do some work/study. WiFi works totally fine, but there are limited outlets. Not a huge fan of their seating and chairs. The most comfortable spot is the large middle table, but there are no outlets. Areas with outlet accessibility are either super tiny tables, tables that are too low for comfort, or the wall countertop area (but the seats don't have backs to them). There is also no restroom (you have to use the public one outside), so coming alone to study isn't ideal for when duty calls. There is also a sign for NO outside drinks, foods, desserts, etc. I was there from ~11am to ~3pm. I'd say the atmosphere was louder than I'd like (lots of people talking very loudly throughout my time there), and the music playing was more upbeat (making it hard to focus). In terms of a study spot, I most likely would not come here again. In terms of food/drink, I wouldn't recommend this place. However, if someone suggested it, I wouldn't totally object. Overall, not a bad experience, but just not ideal to my preferences.

I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.
