    The atmosphere was really cute (inside) but unfortunately the drinks did not match. I ordered a butterscotch iced latte and a biscoff iced latte. Both had zero flavor, arrived room temperature and were poorly made. The hot espresso was clearly pulled directly over ice instead which caused it to melt and make the coffee extremely watery. Customer service could also be improved. Overall, will never go back. There are plenty of other delicious coffee shops (with better parking) than this one.

    Great food! Excellent service!! Nice ambiance!! I ordered Blueberry French Toast and Hot Latte. This is a nice relaxing place - just to hangout or catch up with friends. Beside great food and super amazing service, I am impressed with their very clean bathroom.

    Iced Matcha Latte with Honey

    This place was good but not the best if you are looking for some good matcha. There's other matcha places nearby that are way better and worth the price. There is a lot of seating if you want to enjoy your food and drinks. Staff was nice. My wait time for my drink was around 10 minutes which isn't too bad. Around 3 pm they weren't that busy on a week day. I ordered a matcha latte and it was okay. It didn't really stand out to me but it was still good and enjoyable. It was too sweet for my liking and that may have been my fault for adding honey. I don't think I would be going back but it was nice to try.

    Parking: This Cafe is off Reseda not too far from CSUN. There is no dedicated parking lot that I know of. If you cannot get street parking in front of the cafe, you are better off parking in the Harbor Freight parking lot off Nordhoff and taking the 2 minute walk. Yellow House is nestled between other small businesses but you won't miss the entrance as it is highlighted by a big yellow wall. Ambiance: The exterior of the building almost plants the idea that the cafe will be small, but once entering the building you get a different feeling. The interior is spacious even having 2 stories. The interior exudes a calm, cozy, minimalistic feel. It really does feel like you are walking into a warm inviting yellow home, albeit a little loud and busy. There is a good amount of natural light coming from all the windows and depending on the time of year, they also decorate for each holiday. Drinks: We have gotten the tiramisu iced latte, creme brulee matcha, Earl grey Matcha, and Strawberry matcha, and sea salt caramel americano. Order all drinks half sweet or you'll get a cavity- heed the warning of this tooth fairy. But in all seriousness, their drinks are SWEET so be aware. All of the drinks taste like what they advertise though which is amazing! If you're looking for top tier matcha quality this isn't the place, this isn't Rocky's matcha but if you're in sheer desperation and ache for some green drink derived from leaves, it'll work. Service: Everyone is nice and the drinks come out pretty quickly considering their crafted nature. Overall: There's a reason we keep coming back! It's reliable, has lots of cool varieties, and consistent! Although I will say a bit overpriced, but that seems to be everywhere these days so eh.

    Staff was patient and helpful. Food was perfect and the coffee amazing. Nice and open.

    Super cute cafe with a great variety of drinks and food options. This is definitely a college hangout spot and perfect for getting work done. They have plenty of tables on the first floor and more on the loft. I got the ube cold foam matcha and it was delicious! Can't modify the sweetness but still great. If you want oat or almond milk it's a 50 cent surcharge. Parking is a bit tough on the street!

    This coffee drink hazelnut latte was delicious. It hit the mark on this hot day. Very delicious and the service is great.

    The drink was delicious. The hazelnut latte was so good. The service was great and they were very nice and up going. This place is good place to come hangout and do your work.

    Stopped by Yellow House with a friend and we had a great time. We ordered a Rose Tteokbokki, a Chicken Katsu Sando, and I got a Crème Brûlée matcha while my friend got a Cookie Butter matcha. The food was great! You go up to order then find a seat. The staff was friendly and we got our food and drinks in a timely manner. The ambiance has more of a cafe atmosphere and there were lots of students studying since we were close to the local college. Would come back again!

    I've never been so excited to try out this yellow House café. After hearing for months and months on my TikTok to check this place out, I finally caved and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Yellow House Café is so cute and charming. The staff is super friendly so easy-going. They have so many options a varieties of coffees and lattes that you can have and it's so spacious. I think I went back two times and both times it was delicious. The good thing is that they open early so you can always grab a cup of coffee on the way to work or any rendezvous, though I do want to say that parking can be a little bit difficult if you're heading south on Reseda then it may be a little bit more challenging then if we were heading north. I would recommend their pistachio latte. It's so good.

    Amazing drinks and food! Staff is always on top of the service! Great area to hang out or study!

    The first time I ever had yellow house, it was the best matcha I've had in the SFV! However, the other 5 times I went, the quality of the matcha had gone down significantly They must have hired new people or something because it tastes bad. I'm sad and disappointed in the inconsistency of the matcha taste each time I visit so I just stopped coming here... The sushi and food items are pretty good, the ambience is nice but usually too loud to study in. Overall ok

    Yellow House is such a gem in the northridge community. In a lot of cases you have coffee shops that do great coffee but poor food. In other places you have a great lunch spot but does poor coffee. At Yellow House you get both in one convenient spot! The service is attentive and friendly and the ambiance is that of a moderately noisy coffee shop. Whether you are doing some dine in or to go, I wouldn't miss Yellow House. Tip: Parking is tough on the street. Harbor Freight down the street made it easy to park and get back to the restaurant.

    Yellow House in Northridge is the kind of place that immediately makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. From the second you walk in, you're greeted by a bright, open, and thoughtfully designed space. The cafe is two stories, which instantly sets it apart, there's so much room for seating! Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to work, a comfortable spot to catch up with friends, or a place to relax with a drink and people-watch (my personal favorite), there's a space for everyone here. One of my favorite things about Yellow House is how well lit it is. Natural light pours in and fills the entire cafe, making it feel warm and uplifting. Every level feels airy and spacious, and the layout encourages you to stay awhile rather than rush out. It's the kind of environment where you could easily lose track of time, perfect for studying, working remotely, or just enjoying a peaceful break in your day. Now let's talk about the food and drinks. I ordered their chicken katsu sando, and it was phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. Their slaw inside was perfectly sweet and salty with that crunch that you crave in a sandwich. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the sandwich felt balanced and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell that care and attention go into how it's prepared, it's comfort food done right and definitely something I'd come back for again! For drinks, I tried two items, and both were standouts in their own way. The iced crème brûlée latte was smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet with just the right amount of indulgence. It had that dessert-like richness without being overpowering, making it the perfect treat if you're craving something with that coffee kick but still well balanced. I also tried the iced Biscoff cookie butter matcha, and this one really stole the show for me. The matcha was creamy and well blended, and the Biscoff added a subtle sweetness and depth that complemented the matcha beautifully instead of overpowering it. It's unique, indulgent, and incredibly satisfying, easily one of the most memorable matcha drinks I've had in a while. Beyond the food and drinks, what truly elevated my experience was the environment and the staff. Every employee I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic. You can feel that they enjoy being there, and that positive energy carries throughout the space. The service felt warm and authentic, not rushed, not transactional, but genuinely hospitable. That kind of enthusiasm makes such a difference and really sets The Yellow House apart from other cafés. It's truly a standout in Northridge, and I can confidently say it's become one of my favorite spots in the area. Highly recommend stopping by! Thank you for having me! :)

An hour and 15 mins in I had to go up and ask for a refund because we had to go and I was told they just started my order and I saw the order on the end of the line. Personally I would've made the order who was waiting the longest first and have new orders wait a little more since they haven't waited as long as us, especially if the orders are very similar because everyone was getting the same plates and burritos

    Today I went back to my local stereo shop on Reseda Blvd for a repair to my stereo…read more When I visited this same stereo shop six months ago, I decided to visit the coffee shop across the street for some food while I waited for my repair. On that visit, I met Joyce the owner, and she happily served me my meal that day, and I had an exceptional experience. I left Joyce's coffee shop a very satisfied five star review later that day. The last time I came, Joyce was not present again (she works weekends). Today I tried to visit Joyce again, but forgot she works weekends--but today I met Ms. Faith. Faith's customer service was above and beyond. The warmth. The friendliness. The pride in her work and her role in the Joyce's Coffee Shop family. The joy. The most charming smile and energy. The enthusiasm. The work ethic. I wanted Faith to join me for my meal, but she never stopped working, and she had no break planned. Faith is actually a former bartender with many years of experience. She made millions of dollars in tips over the years, because all the drunks would fall in love and hand their wallets over to Faith. She was great at what she did. Patrons would go to her bar, sit down, and blackout just because they were there to chat with Faith for as long as possible. Of course they couldn't just sit there--so they'd just order drink after drink. And drink. And tip. And then ATM. And then more drinks with Faith. Tips tips tips. Faith made millions as a bartender (that's how she bought her Bentley coupe). As a bartender, she even got a 3 wedding proposals, and 4 "modeling" offers . And Faith LEFT the money and the fame--once she discovered Joyce's Coffee Shop. Faith knew she wanted to be in that warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere--as often as possible. Faith applied for work at Joyce's, then followed-up daily with Joyce's for 2 weeks--and ultimately earned herself a spot on Team JCS. The food was 5-stars--as always. It's as goods as eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and hot coffee get. The environment was another 5-stars--always clean, always welcoming and always playing carefully curated playlists of yesterday's biggest hits. Joyce's Coffee Shop has been in business since 1955, and they've done such a great job of not only preserving the original dining room setup and upholstery, but also the original owner's commitment and dedication to great food in a welcoming environment--produced and served by the best customer service. And sitting in Joyce's Coffee Shop is like sitting in a blast from the past. It's classic. It's retro. It's vintage. It's well-preserved. Joyce's Coffee Shop is part of San Fernando Valley history. It's kinda like a Valley historical landmark. It's definitely a San Fernando Valley treasure. It's on its 4th owner, and it was never sold to a new owner that wasn't fully committed to the original owner's original mission. The diner mission of "as good as it gets," and "keeping it that way"--I love that. All staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. Even the customers are warm, friendly and welcoming--they all seem to know exactly where they are, and thats why they are there. Have you ever watched the classic TV show "Cheers"? That show about a bar where everybody knows your name? Just like that TV bar, Joyce's gives that "local feel"--the best feel. You'll never get that at Denny's, IHOP or Norms. I live in Woodland Hills so I'm rarely in Northridge, but if I am around in the AM or lunchtime -- I hope to visit again. Food -- 5 stars (I'm still stuffed) Environment -- 5 Stars (clean & cool) Service -- 5 [hearts on fire emoji] 5 stars -- (only because I can't give 6) PS: I forgot to mention that Mrs. Joyce's husband Mr. Joyce is the head chef at JCS. I forgot to mention this because I have yet to meet Mr. Joyce--but I guess Mr. Joyce's reputation will precede him in my case, (that's if I ever even get a chance to meet Mr. Joyce). Not only is Mr. Joyce the head chef, he's there 7 days a week, making somebody's love-made food. And for anyone that could not connect these dots: he doesn't work 7 days a week because he has to. Mr. Joyce works 7 days a week because there's nothing he would rather be doing, than preparing someone's great food with total care, at a business that's known for customers leaving with huge smiles for many decades. Nothing makes Mr. Joyce happier than ensuring everything coming out of JCS is "5 Star Quality"--as good as it could possibly get. He does it because the San Fernando Valley is lucky to have Joyce's Coffee Shop. 5 STARS.

When you're tired of the breakfast burrito game, Egg Tuck is the easy go-to that reminds you breakfast can be simple, elegant, and incredibly satisfying all at once. The Avo Egg sandwich is a must. Pillow soft scrambled eggs piled high on a soft brioche-style dark bread with fresh avocado and a delicious house sauce topped with chives. The bread was slightly on the darker side but it didn't detract from the overall experience one bit -- every bite was rich, creamy, and satisfying. These are genuinely some of the best eggs in the city and at around $11 for the sandwich it's a fair price for the quality you're getting. Don't skip the tater tots. Crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked -- the small comes in at just $2.50 and the large is $5.29, making them one of the better value sides you'll find anywhere. They pair perfectly with the sandwich. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming with good customer service to match. Parking is easy too -- there's a parking lot below and free street parking available nearby, which in the Valley is always a bonus. Egg Tuck is the kind of place you find yourself thinking about on a Tuesday morning when you wish you were there. If you're in the Valley and serious about breakfast, this is a non-negotiable stop.
