The coffee table has every type of coffee, including Turkish coffee. Today, I had a dark chocolate coconut latte, which was delicious. Their baklava is excellent very authentic. This coffee shop located in The Old World Village in Huntington Beach makes it seem like a European café. The service is terrific and everything on the menu looks delicious.

Cute little coffee shop in the old world HB. The atmosphere is very chill and a great way to start the day. Plenty of seating and friendly staff. The coffee was great and they had lots of different options as well as small bites.

Came over during the holiday season. This area is fully decorated, and has a good holiday spirit. There is a Christmas market outside of the coffee shop. This coffee shop gave me a Turkish vibes. Cashier was friendly, and service was fast. I ordered a dark chocolate latte with oak milk. The coffee was on the pricey side, and the taste was not as good as I expected. Parking was difficult. The parking lot is a bit small, and it was full. Not likely to stop by again.

Boston cream pie cake

The good: We got two fall seasonal drinks: Turkish fog (like a London fog but made with Turkish decaf tea) and a toasted marshmallow and caramel. We also tried a Boston cream pie cake that was tasty and wasn't too sweet. The drinks were good and were served warm. They were sweet without being overly sweet. I liked that my toddler was able to enjoy the decaf Turkish fog. The interior had Moroccan lanterns, Turkish decor, Christmas decor and was dog-friendly. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. I liked that their seasonal menu had a lot of options (including pumpkin spice lattes!). The parking lot had fun phrases like "good night" in French. The bad: The toasted marshmallow latte was supposed to come with cookie crumbles but didn't. The interesting: They played cool music like Phantogram but it seemed to becoming from just a speaker by the window so I'm unsure if it was from the cafe or from an individual customer's phone/computer. They're located in the Old World Village so there's a European/German flair outside.

The Coffee Tale is a turkish coffee shop located in Old World Village that serves organic coffee drinks. [Parking]: There's a designated private parking lot for Old World Village, but the lot can get super packed and I highly recommend visitors to park at the alternative parking structure at 7767 Center Ave (there will be a sign that directs visitors to this structure during the busy holiday season). [Atmosphere]: Cozy atmosphere and the shop gave this classic tea house vibe with Mediterranean vibe. Free Wi-Fi, but due to limited capacity there is a 2-hour limit with each purchase. There also a small outdoor patio area. [Menu]: The top Yelp highlights are Dark Chocolate Latte and Chai Latte. Customers can request for flavored syrup for an extra $0.75 to their coffee drinks. They do offer Turkish coffee for anyone who's interested in something different. *** Cinnamon Dirty Chai Latte ($6.95 + extra $0.75 with Dark Chocolate): I will have to admit I wasn't expecting the drink to taste this good - smooth finish & not overwhelming sweet. Baklava ($3.25): Tiny portion (I was able to finish this dessert in two bites), but it tasted great with a hint of molasses aftertaste. *** A nice cafe to check out in Old World Village. Visitors can also walk around the village with Christmas market vendors during weekends in November/December and The Biergarten at Old World HB.

First time here and it was so delicious! The owner is so friendly and accommodating. The inside is so cute!

Being born and raised in the HB/Westminster area, I never once stepped into Old World Village. And now I'm wondering why not?! It's so cute and adorable in this little shopping center transformed into some place right out of Europe! My sister and I stopped by this cute little coffee shop along with my two kiddos. We shared a Turkish spinach pastry and I had the Double Chocolate Coconut Latte. I'd say the pastry is an 8/10. Nice and flaky and flavoring was as expected. The latte was for sure a 10/10. Delicious! Service was friendly and helpful. And honestly, coming here just for the ambiance isn't a bad reason. So cute!

Quaint little coffee shop

Nice quiet relaxing shop with a good iced latte The have a couple of pastries to go with the wide selection of espresso options

one tea was $6. it seemed a bit overpriced to me. it didn't feel very cozy inside, although i imagine that was the goal. the decor is nice, but it's very loud because of the fans. will not be returning, just doesn't seem worth it compared to other cafes with higher quality drinks & nicer interiors.

Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Latte (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The latte was blended nicely with hints of raspberry! Not too much ice! 2. The spot has cute casual vibes! The interior is definitely cozy with cool decor! 3. This spot has both indoor and outdoor seatings! Small number of tables for both areas! 4. Two parking lots that can get crowded if there is an event! Spots are double-lines and not compact! 5. The staff was friendly and timely with my drink! It took less than 10 mins! Note: I did not easily see a bathroom available for customers! It would be good to check with the staff!

Baklava and Coffee of the Day

As much as I want to gate keep this spot, my experience here and the owner were SO amazing that I felt I had to leave a review. The coffee and baklava were exceptional and it was an amazing spot to get some work done. Definitely will be returning :)

The closest spot available for a meet up that's open late Sunday afternoon with great reviews and decided to check it out. It's located inside the old world village and not too hard to place. I was able to find parking right away. I ordered mocha and matcha latte (ice). The mocha was good but on the lighter side and so was the matcha. There were some tables outside and it was quiet and chill. This is a nice little spot for hangouts. The service was stellar and the owners were really friendly and personable.

The outside

This coffee shop is so cute. The outdoor seating is flowery and the shop is in a great location in this little german town. The coffee and tea is so good. The service and quick and friendly.

Came back on Saturday, order was about $25, tried paying with a $50 bill, and was now told they don't accept large bills. What...? No signs posted. So I had to go out and find a place to break change and go back. That was extremely annoying. To the owners: Be consistent in your policies... post signs... ==NOT SO FUN SIDE NOTE== Going out to break change sent me on an UNEXPECTED SIDE QUEST with my bank. Because I was withdrawing an amount that falls outside my normal habits, my card was blocked and had to spend another 20 minutes on the phone to troubleshoot and unlock my card. All this in 100 degree weather.... For tea bars, this is one of the few places that offer decent food. Fruit teas are nice. Coffee and matcha are the same as you'd expect anywhere else. But today's experience really encourages me to find for other options. Cafe Quan also has the same bread sticks with a few other options. TLDR version: Good food, okay drinks. Fine if you use plastic, beware for cash users. Avoid on weekends unless you like crowded spaces and long wait times.

Come on a Friday if you want to try their cinnamon roll pancakes. Comfy cozy cafe. Cool people who all worked together. We never went without anything we needed. Started with a caramel latte and vanilla latte. Perfect frothiness! Moved onto a fitness scramble with potatoes instead of rice with a side of English muffin- perfectly buttered and toasted btw. Side of a single buttermilk pancake and bacon. It's cool you can order singles of any of their pancakes or French toast! Also got the French toast combo. Bacon was crispy and yummy. Nothing was overly oily like some cafes. Servers pointed out their three homemade salsas as well as their maple and boisenberry syrups! All the shakers and bottles were clean and not sticky. Definitely will be back on a Friday to try their cinnamon roll pancakes!! 10/10 recommend. Reasonable prices, good portions, solid service.

Places tucked away in a shopping center next to a fitness place, a liquor store and an insurance company. The sign is not huge so you really do have to know it's here. When you walk up the first thing you see is the outdoor dining area which is covered tents over tables which is really nice. I'm assuming that was when covid was a thing and most people had to eat outdoors. Regardless, this place is pretty popular as they have a podium and a guest list out front. I was able to walk right in and grab a booth at the back. I'm glad I did, such a great fun place to check out and see what kind of wonders they have in store The ambiance of the restaurant is a little bit dark, but they do have lights but it feels like a very cozy dimly lit hometown Cafe/ coffee shop I settled in with a cup of coffee, and ordered the combo which was two pancakes or french toast, two slices of bacon, and two eggs. Eggs any style. Of course I had to order my glass of milk with breakfast to see if they're paying attention. They passed the glass of milk test with flying colors! The food was good, absolutely solid and what a great little place to have breakfast. The wait staff is very on point and was ready to make suggestions and offer casual conversation. The bottom line? I would definitely hit this place up again whenever I'm in Huntington Beach. You should definitely give it a go and I highly suggest the combo as the pancakes are stellar!

They have a separate area full of seating that's decorated to look like you're in an outdoor cafe with cute building facades. There's lots of natural light there too, which is always nice. Cafe Orange makes the best croffles, hands down! They're always warm, crispy, and generously topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, and more. I got the strawberry croffle, and my friend got the banana brulee croffle. Both of them were decadent while not being overly sweet. Their portions are generous too - with each order, you get two croffles. Double the deliciousness!! I usually get non-caffeinated drinks or drinks with less caffeine since I come later in the day. I enjoy their yogurt smoothies, and I also like their honey citron teas. Their drinks aren't too sweet, but adjustments can always be made when ordering. They offer other Korean foods and snacks like kimbap, tteokbokki, ramen, and more. I noticed a lot of students come here to study or do work, and it's perfect because you can get a drink, food, and study in relatively quiet environment. I love the vibes here and will definitely be back to try more drinks and food.
