If you're anywhere near Huntington Beach, do yourself a favor and stop by The Coffee Tale -- I'm genuinely obsessed. I'm someone who drinks coffee daily and frequents a lot of different coffee shops, so I don't say this lightly... their coffee is AMAZING. Every cup is smooth, rich, and consistently perfect. You can tell they really care about quality. Beyond the coffee, the whole experience is what sets this place apart. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and just the kind of spot you want to linger in. Their sweets are just as impressive -- fresh, delicious, and the perfect pairing with your drink. And the staff? Truly some of the kindest people you'll meet. The owner is incredibly sweet and creates such a genuine, positive atmosphere that you can feel the moment you walk in. This place checks every box for me -- great coffee, great people, great energy. Don't miss it if you're in the area! read more

The Coffee Tale is such a gem. Tucked inside the cutest little German Village in Huntington Beach, this locally owned spot has quickly become one of my favorite places to settle in for a few hours. The space is surprisingly roomy, with plenty of seating that doesn't feel cramped, and the overall vibe is calm without being silent -- perfect for catching up with friends or getting some remote work done without distraction. Their organic coffee is absolutely delicious, smooth and flavorful without any bitterness. But the real standout is the Turkish coffee. It's rich, aromatic, and honestly divine -- the kind of drink that makes you slow down and savor every sip. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming café with great drinks and a relaxed atmosphere, The Coffee Tale is a must‑visit. It's the kind of place you end up returning to again and again. read more

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. read more

I was driving back from Santa Barbara and really needed a pick me up to keep going towards my destination. While crossing Huntington Beach, I googled for coffee shops and randomly selected The Coffee tale. I usually don't drink coffee and I am glad they had a great selection of teas. Musa took the time to make a perfect cup of tea and I also got to learn more about him and his store. Very personable and good owner! I would recommend anyone looking to have coffee and tea with a Turkish touch of flavor and culture to try this place read more

What a cute/ relaxing spot! Just stopped by this place on my way to the airport and stayed to relax for a bit. Musa helped me out & was so kind! They do coffee & hospitality well here. So delicious & would love to stop by again:) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Tucked inside Old World Village (right across from Costco), The Coffee Tale is a cozy Turkish café with character. There are two parking lots in the village, parking in the back is easier and saves you from walking around. They serve Turkish desserts like baklava, the green part is pistachio, and inside it's sweet and honey filled with a crispy bite. Both the coffee and desserts are reasonably priced. The indoor space is small but uniquely decorated. Many people come here with books or laptops to relax. There's also outdoor seating available.

The person who took our order very friendly. The ambience was nice and quaint. I ordered a Cinnamon Bon Mocha latte with oatmilk, which is one of their holiday drinks. It tasted like I was drinking a chocolate milk with no coffee and no cinnamon. read more

Dog friendly :) great ambiance too it was so cozy in there. I got a puppacino for my dog, a Turkish coffee (tasted earthy in a good way of course) a chai tea latte (cinnamon was delicious on top) and then a spinach barek which tasted so good. Service was quick and so friendly. Would come back again as I think we just found a hidden gem. read more

Overwhelmed due to Oktoberfest. They are probably experiencing 3 times the amount of customers. Staff seemed overwhelmed and less than happy or friendly. When I asked about coffee of the day she said they sold out and made it a point to tap some sign I was supposed to see that noted that. I guess I don't frequent this place enough to know the rules. She said something else but I stopped listening. I ordered a large drink and was tried tobe talked onto a small drink and I don't know why. Then I was sts dong on the wrong side of where they serve the drinks and basically told to move then 2 seconds later told to move again because that's where they keep their ice freezer. I thought about moving on out the door but I already paid for the coffee ($7). In the end coffee was good. read more

Adorable cafe with such a cozy vibe that is not to be missed! I had a dark chocolate raspberry latte that was so decadent, I will definitely be back for more! The owner is so kind and welcoming as well. read more

I loved finding this gem of an area! I had no idea it existed. I decided to check out this place because the reviews for the chai latte were promising. I'd give the iced chai latte a 3/5. It was a little watery and they use the Oregon Chai concentrate brand but the flavor was there. The highlight of this visit was the cookie it had walnuts in it and it was warmed up. Sooo yummy. The guy at the cashier was very nice. No wait when I got there. And there's a few tables suited for studying. read more

Stopped in for coffees to go on a Sunday morning around 8am and the person working was apparently quite put out by me being there. I asked a couple questions about the menu and he seemed incredibly annoyed. I just ended up grabbing a couple basic coffees and getting out of there as quickly as I could. It was a strange experience. read more

Place offers a variety of coffee and syrups with a lot of pastries as well. The coffee is on the strong side but also tastes good. I got a cinnamon bun latte and it was a balanced mix of flavor and espresso, I would definitely recommend this laid back ambiance with the Europe theme in the surrounding areas. read more

I like this place, large selection of coffee and teas. Today, I tried the flat brown and the blueberry scone. Both tasted good and not too sweet. Atmosphere is nice and staff is friendly. It's place your order, pick it up and then place your dirty dishes on the counter. So, I'd say, tipping or not, you should be fine with your choice. read more

First time visiting Old World Village and thought to stop by The Coffee Tale. The barista was very friendly and accommodating with our drinks. I got the Lavender Matcha Latte w/ Oatmilk and a hot Matcha (hazelnut) with a slice of New York Cheesecake. TIP!! Do get any of their matcha!! It is one of the blandest matcha I ever taste in my life. Matcha (hot): 1/5. Tastes like nothing. Had a tasteful of matcha form at the top. Doesn't taste like authentic matcha. Lavender Matcha Latte: 3/5. The taste of Lavender was really the only redeeming aspect of the drink. It felt like they water down the oatmilk?? New York Cheesecake: 5/5. It's a cheesecake. Beside the underwhelming drinks, I though the atmosphere was cozy and quiet. It's a good place where you can sit and relax. read more

Ambience/service 8/10; Coffee 6.5/10 Outlets and WiFi available! I came in on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered their espresso. It was quiet inside with plenty of seating, outlets, and wifi. The layout is cozy with both couch type seating and more normal tables. Great place to get work done. The espresso was enjoyable, but definitely on the darker side (I prefer light to medium roasts). Even though I didn't try any, their pastry selection looks delicious. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Small cozy little coffee shop at Old World in Huntington Beach. Great assortment of coffees, tea, Baklava and other pasties.

Great spot! Very comfy sitting areas. Fantastic customer service, despite being there only 1 barista a long line of clients. I had to wait about 15 mins just to order. The barista was working it though. The internet is pretty strong. There is sitting inside and outside. It was raining though so not ideal. The menu is great! I had the dark chocolate latte. Pretty delicious. Overall I recommend this place. read more

I was looking for a coffee shop while our drive home from Orange County so I came across this coffee shop, It was a bit out of the way but it looked cool, so decided to give it a try. Parking is crazy busy, but it may be because of the holidays and they have a Christmas market and items from Germany in that store so I can understand. Its a little Europe village which is really nice to see. The coffee place itself is nicely decorated, it has the Turkish style, decor is nice, however, I saw lots of dust which can be cleaner for a better presentation. They have lots of games if you would like to have some coffee and enjoy some game time. Drinks were okay, I have had better coffee. I am all about local coffee and enjoy supporting locals but I also love really good coffee and I did not feel it was the best, service and Baklava were amazing!!! My husband and I had just had breakfast and drove here for coffee and I wanted to give the baklava a try. It did not disappoint. We sat there for couple hours playing games and we really enjoyed it! I would return and give their coffee another try and definitely their baklava read more

Chill coffee spot to read or work from. WiFi is fast and it seems not too crowded. For drinks, it's a bit slow since there's one person working and taking orders but nothing too bad. Biggest con is that they do not have a restroom so you'll have to use the German deli a little bit down the cobblestone in this plaza. read more
