Tranquilo Coffee took over the old Coffee Bean location and the nostalgia alone made me excited to visit. I used to come here all the time in college to study, so when Coffee Bean closed I couldn't wait to see what would move in -- and honestly, I love what they've done with the space. The old setup felt darker and heavier with all the wood tones, but Tranquilo completely opened it up. The bright whites with the blue and orange accents make it feel so much bigger, lighter, and more inviting. It's the kind of coffee shop you actually want to sit in for a while -- whether that's catching up with a friend, studying, or getting some work done. And the coffee? Even better. I'm obsessed. I've already been three times. The first time I got the Spanish latte. I usually stay away from sweeter coffee drinks, but this one was so balanced and not overly sweet at all. The last two visits I ordered the Zuzu Cloud Top -- a cold brew mixed with your choice of whole milk or oat milk, topped with their cold foam and espresso powder. So creamy, so smooth, so good. Definitely recommend. Safe to say this has quickly become one of my new favorite coffee spots in the area. read more

This is my new favorite coffee spot! I love the service, very welcoming environment I ordered their seasonal coconut water matcha, and I am hoping it stays permanently! I love it, it is very refreshing and not too sweet at all! My bestie got a banana pudding latte as well and it was phenomenal. The coffee shop itself is very clean! I definitely will be back soon! read more

I had a lovely experience at Tranquilo Coffee (Whittier). I ordered the ZuZu Cloud Top ($7). It's creamy cold brew coffee that's sweetened with house-made syrup, and it's topped with fluffy foam & sprinkled espresso powder. TASTY! This coffee tasted bright, chill, and silky. After 40 minutes, the clean coffee's strength suddenly hit me. I felt happy. I arrived at Tranquilo Coffee (Whittier) on Friday (around 9:15AM). Parking is available and free; however, it's very competitive. There's a very competitive, busy customer parking lot. And there's street parking. Customers order at the counter. There was ALWAYS a line! POPULAR!! When I'd left, the line started to stretch outside the doorway. It took about five minutes to reach the counter; however, my drink was completed in 32 seconds!!! FAST! Staff is polite and composed. As mentioned, I ordered the ZuZu Cloud Top ($7). This coffee is not bitter nor overly sweet; rather, it's very smooth and clean. Immediately, I thought of bright & refreshing flavors as I sipped. The hype for this location is genuine!! The coffee has utility and flavor. On ambiance, Tranquilo Coffee (Whittier) is very clean. Despite the eye-sore orange chairs, the ceiling is very pretty. There's many college students studying with laptops at this spot. I counted about two electrical outlets by the tables; however, the long counter has extra electrical outlets embedded in its underside. In addition, Tranquilo Coffee (Whittier) has about nine tables and one very long table counter. There's two gender neutral restrooms with number codes. And I appreciated the upbeat music. This location felt comfortable and new. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Tranquilo Coffee (Whittier). I felt awake and happy after sipping. If searching for a great coffee option in Whittier, I can happily recommend. 4.9 out of 5 read more

After my Pilates class I had to stop by because I was curious where people were getting their coffee from. When I went, they still had their soft opening hours and I would say there were 6 people ahead of me. Which doesn't seem like much, but the line was out the door, and progressively got longer as time went on. I really enjoyed the space, and even thought I waited maybe 15 minutes to order, my drink and pastry were out in a jiffy! You can't go wrong with their honey oat latte with a chocolate croissant. It definitely revived me after having done a hit Pilates class. read more

Someone brought me this coffee so I can't speak to the ambience and service although it seems like the person who got it for me likes the place. It's definitely a good balance of not overly sweet and coffee but still sweet enough. They do top the coffee with ground coffee which some like and dislike read more

This spot is tucked away in the outermost corner, so it might take a second to find--but once you do, you'll notice how big the space is. Honestly, it's huge... they could definitely add more tables to fill it out. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 4:30 PM, not realizing they close at 4. Even though they were technically closed, Joel was kind enough to still let us order the Zuzu Cloud Top since they had the ingredients available--and I'm so glad he did! That drink was amazing. The cloud top was easily one of the best I've ever had--light, flavorful, and just overall perfection. I'm genuinely so grateful he let us try it. He also mentioned they're currently in their soft opening phase, which honestly surprised me. Most soft openings I've been to have pretty limited menus, but they already had a good variety. I had my eye on a few seasonal drinks, so I'll definitely be back to try more. I'm really excited to see how this place grows and what else they bring to the menu! read more

This new location is not fully ready but was able to get a taste of some of their coffee and pastries. I liked the Spanish latte just due keep in mind it is on the sweater side. The Zuzu cloud top is also good not so sweet but foam does give it more flavor. Location is pretty big, a space to get work done but parking is not the best. Since they are just opening lines are a bit long and it seemed like they are still training people. Workers are helpful and nice. The only thing I just wish they can adjust would be how much ice in the cup. It felt like I finish my drink on a couple sips and the cup was full of pure big ice. read more

Terrible parking lot, but don't let that keep you from coming here! It's busy during their soft opening for a reason. It's because it's already a hit! Line was long, but it moved quickly. Customer service was wonderful, team was busy but still friendly. Space is ample, clean and music was a great vibe. I've been visiting a few places and this one is a standout for the banana matcha I had a few days ago. Today I ordered the strawberry matcha it was yummy, but nothing hits like the banana one. Ordered the horchata latte today as well. Drinks were delicious. Food is not yet available but I am curious if it will be just as good as these drinks. I came back twice in one week. I highly recommend! read more

This place is the only of coffee bean and tea leaf shop, they have a Yuzu coffee (I think that's what it's called) and it's sooooo good!! The number of coffee shops in Whittier is increasing and I think this place will definitely be on the top 3 for sure! I can't wait to go back read more

I've been coming since their first soft opening week. There's a reason why you see this place busy. The coffee is so delicious! My favorite has become the horchata with coffee. My husband's favorite is the Spanish latte. This week I was genuinely blown away by how delicious this passion fruit pastry was! The flaky texture, the delicious filling that was perfectly balanced...soooo good! The place it's self is gorgeous, modern, and big. Love coming here read more

I'm a regular at Tranquilo Coffee and it never disappoints. My go-to is an iced vanilla matcha (no agave, 19g matcha), and it's always spot on. My boyfriend gets the Tranquilo cold brew with vanilla and cold foam, and he's just as obsessed. The drinks are consistently amazing, and the service is super fast, which I really appreciate. There was one time they missed adding vanilla/agave but still charged for it, which was a little annoying, but it hasn't happened again. Bonus: it's conveniently close to both my Pilates and Lagree studios, so it's become part of my routine. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots in the area. read more

I've stopped by here twice now. And it is a really nice spot for getting some work done or just hanging out. The service is a tad bit slow but its likely because they are just opening. I first had the Zuzu and that was tasty, just a little bitter. The horchata latte was good but a little too sweet. Im hoping i can adjust the sweetness to the horchata latte un the future because I think it will be delicious. read more

They definitely maxed out the space for hanging out. Clean and inviting. Ordered a Americano with two extra shots and lots of ice, solid Americano would definitely get one again from this business. I also ordered a TRANQUILO COLD BREW which was smooth but tasty, I also asked for two ice waters. Cashiers was nice enough to get them to me asap so I could take them to my kids. Baristas were helpful and courteous. Will be back again read more

I checked out a new coffee shop in my hometown during their first soft opening week and turned it into a little Sunday adventure with my pup. The line was definitely long, but it moved quickly, which I appreciated. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but I got lucky and found a spot pretty fast. On my first visit, I tried the butter croissant and the Strawberry Shortcake latte. The drink was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not bitter, just really well done. My only regret is not asking to add vanilla cold foam. I also had the chance to meet the owner, who was actually taking orders herself. She was incredibly sweet and shared some of her plans for the space, which made the experience feel even more personal. The shop itself is spacious with plenty of seating, great music, and a really welcoming vibe. They also have a private room with glass windows, and I'm excited to see what's in store for that area. It looks like they even have cups for dine-in, which all makes it a great spot to hang out, catch up with friends, or even get some studying done, if you don't mind a steady flow of people coming in and out (which I definitely don't). Every staff member I've interacted with has been incredibly warm and welcoming. They're so good at greeting people right away and are very attentive, which really elevates the whole experience. I loved it so much I ended up bringing some coworkers back during lunch the following day. That time I tried the Zuzu Cloud and the horchata latte. I was especially impressed with the horchata latte, sometimes they can come out grainy (from previous experiences at other shops), but this one was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. With that said, the Zuzu Cloud is definitely my favorite so far (and yes... I've already been back a few times lol). Overall, such a great addition to the area and I'm excited to see how the space continues to come together! read more

The banana matcha was really good Nice earthy ceremonial-grade matcha flavor, made with oat milk just how I like it. The banana flavor was subtle and enjoyable without overpowering the matcha. Service was amazing and everyone was so kind. So happy they're in Whittier -- it's nice to have a solid matcha spot nearby. read more

Staff was nice, interior is clean and nice. I ordered a strawberry matcha, it did not taste like real strawberry, rather then puree it was a strawberry syrup? It was VERY sweet. So sweet I couldn't taste the matcha at all. I definitely do not recommend that, maybe the other drinks are better? read more

Pretty Good Coffee and the Staff is pretty friendly. Overall an amazing experience and I would drop by if I was in the area. I would say my experience overall is a 4/5 but I knocked down a star because they charged me for cold foam but forgot to put it in my drink. It's too much of a hassle to drive back for a 1 dollar add on so it was a bummer I didn't get everything I paid for read more

Love the new space. Night and day from the very outdated Coffee Bean. Stood in line for quite some time as if they're still training which is understandable. One thing that could help is a bigger menu or maybe one that hangs above because everyone reads the menu as they're up to order slowing the line down. Ordered a cortado and an iced latte. Cortado was fantastic served in a small glass. Iced latte was very weak so I asked for an extra shot which the owner gave me. Not super impressed just yet but I will be coming back. read more

Got a regular iced matcha latte with foam top . The matcha quality was good, it was thick and semisweet ! The milk / foam didn't over power the matcha flavor at all . The foam was unflavored , it just tasted like heavy whipping cream. The ambience is nice and aesthetic. Wish the seating areas had more cushion ! Would come back ! read more

I really wanted to like Tranquilo Coffee, but unfortunately the drink I ordered just wasn't it. I got the Spanish latte, which is supposed to come with a double shot of espresso, but it honestly just tasted like sweet milk no coffee flavor came through. Maybe I'd give it another try if I went with someone else or tried a different drink, but based on this experience, it just wasn't for me. read more

I got the banana matcha with vanilla cold foam. I was slightly disappointed in the taste. There was hardly any banana flavoring and the mixture was with oat milk which might have overpowered the banana. However there's no option to remove the oat milk. The vanilla cold foam was really good. The space was really nice to study but not for those long periods. The seating gets uncomfortable. Minimalist style cafes are killing the study scene! Overall, it was okay and not worth the long out the door lines read more

We tried the strawberry shortcake latte and a horchata con cafe, both are intensely rich without losing the coffee flavor. read more

I love coffee and really enjoy exploring cafés that use high-quality beans, so I went in feeling excited--but I ended up disappointed. While I believe it's important for any business to offer good-quality products, customer service matters just as much. A great cup of coffee can lift your mood, but when staff are knowledgeable and can explain the drinks or guide your order, it makes the whole experience even better. When I ordered at the counter, the woman who seemed like the owner just stood there without saying much. For a newly opened place, it didn't feel welcoming at all, and there was no effort to explain the menu or the drinks. I ordered a basic latte and a matcha latte, but both were underwhelming. The coffee lacked depth and richness, and the matcha latte barely tasted like matcha--it was mostly milk. I took a couple of sips and didn't even finish it. They offer a wide variety of drinks, but I think it would be better to focus more on quality rather than quantity. Honestly, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

10/10 matcha! Since this is their soft opening- My only advice to management would be to have their team greet their customers when they walk in to give more of a welcoming vibe. Great matchas tho! read more

First time here and customer service was amazing! Made a quick stop just before work since I was around the area, grabbed a honey oat but noticed they have a banana latte and lady was helpful to switch it for me after I had already paid.

I'm coming back again but this time with my sister. read more

Great service and ambiance. Parking is a bit tricky depending on the time you arrive. My biggest issue was the matcha latte. It was incredibly milky and I tasted 0 matcha. It reminded me of matcha from Starbucks. I do like the fact that they hand whisk it however I hope they can work on their measurements. I'd probably come back when they are more situated. read more
