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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

Upon walking in, you can tell this is a safe space for all types of people. I'm an educator who also has students who need support and finally being able to see a shop like this can really uplift everyone. Parking is slightly interesting - one way driving only and it is located around the perimeter of the block. Today, I decided to get their pumpkin Spanish latte, a seasonal drink. I was able to admire their decor and design while waiting. They had a nifty message board that changed to different quotes in a timely manner. The workers here re very sweet, kind, and quick. They also know how to make their coffee because my drink was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend coming by to support them.

It's located in between Hong Lan Queen Eggrolls and Nam Am Chicken Rice restaurants on Brookhurst St in the Brookhurst Town Center. There is a parking lot that could be difficult to find a spot during lunch or dinner rush hours and weekends. I saw that they had black sesame coffee which made me really want to check it out. Black sesame drinks and food are a guilty pleasure of mine. My boyfriend and I both got their Nostimo Cafe Muoi Me (Black Sesame Coffee) with less ice. I forgot to adjust the sweetness but that wasn't needed at all! When I took the first sip without the straw, I had a lot of black sesame notes as there was actual black sesame topping on the cold foam and the strong bitter coffee taste. Then I mixed it with the straw and omg, it was a really nice balance of strong, delicious coffee and a nuttiness from the black sesame. SO GOOD. We both enjoyed it a lot! Based on our experience from just the black sesame coffee, the boba must also be very good. We will be back to try their other drinks in the future!

Plenty of parking right out front - fortunately when we arrived, but this plaza does get really busy on weekends. Interior is nice, but I didn't like that the sun really got in my eyes at some seats in the restaurant right during sunset. Service was good, note that the souffle pancakes may have a bit of a wait time, which they informed us when we ordered and it was understandable since they're making them fresh and they were so worth it! We ordered a Pistachio Coffee Latte, Ube Coco Souffle & Matcha Souffle Pancakes for the 5 of us to share. It was definitely plenty for all of us. Portion sizing is pretty generous. Quality, taste, flavor, presentation/attention to details - all well worth the price. Would definitely recommend trying the souffle pancakes here! The Matcha one was personally my favorite!

The rest of the crew riding in ths big Suburban need some too and to use the restrooms as well. I wanted to do a last chack of my work stuff emails on my laptop too. Thw WIFI was fine here for that. I just tell the crew to put all the orders on my tab and I pay with my Starbucks card. I get my thermo travel mug filled and that should last me till the next stop some where up along the 5. The inside of this Starbuck's location is nice and clean and the servie was quick and efficient. I even get a little discount since I brought my own coffee cup, I think it's like 10 cents, so no big deal, but at least it's there. We all tank up and hit the road.

I had a car show that I was attending and wanted to grab a coffee beforehand and this one was right across the street. Located in a big shopping center, this one has plenty of parking so you don't have to worry about finding a place to park and it does have a drive-thru so that makes it easy. Now it was pretty early in the morning, around 7:00 a.m., I would have thought it would have been busier on a Saturday but there was a few people outside and a couple people inside so my order process was super quick. As I've said many times before, it's the people behind the counter that make the difference and this place was nice. Friendly, always greeted with a smile, and just generally helpful. Even though the drive-thru was fairly busy, they were able to get my order out in a pretty quick amount of time. Which is always nice, especially if you are on the run or going somewhere. Bottom line? It seems like you can't throw a rock down the street and not hit 15 Starbucks, however, when you find a good one it definitely should be added to your list. This one is definitely added to my list of will return to again.
