We mentioned to the owner that it was her birthday, and to our surprise, while we were waiting for our drinks, she came over with a macaron topped with a birthday candle. Such a sweet, thoughtful gesture that made our day even more special. This is such a quaint, unique place with a calming, welcoming atmosphere. I absolutely love the Victorian décor and all the beautiful handmade items displayed throughout the shop--I only wish they were for sale! The sandwiches are excellent too. I had them during a previous visit with friends, and they were just as wonderful as I remembered. I can't say enough good things about Camellia Bell. It's truly one of the best places on Bell Boulevard, and a place I'll happily return to again and again. Highly recommended!

I am very picky with coffee because I am a big coffee fanatic and always trying different coffee shops, but I absolutely fell in love here. The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, and has a beautiful antique style. It is a small space, but so cute and inviting. There is a few seats inside and some outdoor seating as well, which makes it really nice to enjoy your drink. The barista was so helpful and informative. Any questions I had, she answered, and it really added to the experience. I ordered the chestnut latte, an iced latte, and the purple yam cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chestnut latte was amazing. I didn't even realize it wasn't coffee at first, but it was made with freshly ground chestnuts and it tasted warm, cozy, and Christmasy. The iced latte was perfect, smooth, and not bitter at all. My coffee tasted sweet and flavorful even before adding any sweetener. The purple yam cookie was also incredible. Everything is baked in-house, which I really appreciate because you can taste the quality. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and I definitely feel like it is worth it. I cannot wait to go back and try the purple yam latte next. This is hands down one of the best coffee experiences I have ever had. I will definitely be coming here more often.

At this point, this cafe is better off for casual gatherings and not for study sessions. I think it's only one of the few cafes that are open past 10 PM. I've been to many different cafes in NY and visited cafe bench a few times in the past few years with large groups. I saw a recent view and was surprised to have read about the lack of disrespect a Hispanic man gave. I saw him a few times and I never saw something similar to that extent. There may be a lack of awareness on his end for bowing down and if that truly happened, I'd be pissed too and that's so uncalled for. I've been to other cafes with a similar policy but yeah, this cafe is pretty well known for having strict no-remake, no-modification policies. I've seen other customers caught off guard by it too. From what my friends and I observed, the staff doesn't make those calls and they're busy with orders like any other cafe. I'm just writing this to to share a different perspective as someone who's been there many times as I came by last weekend to give it another shot. I got the Jasmine Bear which was less sweet than before and took a sip of my friend's Berry Mucho Smoothie which was a 9/10. I wish i got that because the Jasmine Bear isn't as sweet. I usually get the Lemon C crepe and decided to try out the pomodoro instead. Although the portions are not as much as I thought it would be, the seasoned chicken and the sweet tomato sauce went really well with the crispy flakiness of the crepe.

The Ube Won Kenobi (small - love the pun) has a strong ube flavor, which I love. They use a powdered ube, so it doesn't have the smoothest finish. I also like that's it's normally made with almond milk, so there's no substitution needed for me. The Chicken Bacon Avocado (Wrap) was packed full! The wrap held together well, though it did get drippy with the ranch and fresh vegetables. The chicken and bacon were well cooked, maybe a tad bit too dry, but the ranch helps. I will definitely will be back for more!

I deducted a star for their drinks--the quality depends on what you order. Most of their drinks are really nice, but the matcha latte I got had too much milk and barely any matcha flavor.
