    K-style Toast
    Nazly I.

    My boyfriend and I were looking for a place where we could grab a bite to eat and settle down for a solid study session, and this combination café/restaurant nailed it. He ordered the K-style toast and I got the tteokbokki--both were absolutely delicious! Word of caution: I completely missed the warning on the menu stating that the tteokbokki is meant for two people. They were definitely not kidding, and I couldn't even finish it! The setup here is super student-friendly. They have free water available, plenty of tables, a bathroom, and even an upstairs area we didn't get to check out yet. We stayed for about two hours and got so much done. Just a heads-up that it does get a little busy, so if you need absolute silence to focus, it might not be for you. But for us, the background buzz was perfect. We will definitely be back for future study sessions!

    Amazing every time!! Love that they keep adding to their menu! Enjoy their food and coffee every time I come! Staff is also very friendly! There is only street parking, but can usually be found easily!

    Truffle Parmesan Fries $7 not bad! Mid drinks, duo matcha more sweet than earthy

    Solid spot for food, but drinks were meh. Nice studying spot - spacious with an upstairs level. - Grapefruit Mint Lemonade $6.5: fizzy and bitter. Little to no minty-ness. - Mango Hibiscus $6.5: can't rly taste mango - Duo Matcha $7.5 - more sweet than true earthy matcha taste, prob wouldnt get again - Rose tteok $19 - served piping hot from the pan. Tteok is perfectly chewy and fish cakes are sizeable and thick! Would get again. Not spicy for family who can't handle heat. - Truffle parm fries $7: tasty, though I wish they were served hot hot. They were just warm but still crispy tho - tuna crispy rice $13: also a banger! Tasty and sizeables pieces and rice had a good crunch without being too hard Definitely a pricey spot but for the food + studying vibes without being overly crowded on a Sunday evening before closing - I'd come back! Parking isn't that bad. There's usually street parking in front or the lot a few min down the street.

    Iced Matcha Latte with Honey
    Jordan S.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Biscoff cookie butter matcha latte (NEW)
    Britney P.

    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! :)

    pumpkin spice chai with churro
    Eliseo R.

    Got to trying out their pumpkin spice chai (which has no coffee) and I like how the menu items also show if there's no caffeine or not. My first time checking out this spot finally with my girlfriend!! It was early in the evening, around 5pm so it would definitely be too late for coffee. The drink was pretty delicious!!! The pumpkin spice powder wasn't too overwhelming at all and the drink was addicting to keep sipping. I shared with my girlfriend as the price of one drink was about 8$ due to substituting milk. The pumpkin spice chai also matched the fall-themed menu very well. Super cool their fall drinks come with a small churro bite, but it was pretty cold when I bit it. I wish it was warmed. I like how the ambiance is inside and the music was at a perfect volume. The music choices were also great lol. We found a parking spot right infront of the cafe!! The free wifi was also pretty fast and I like how brightly lit it was inside. It was a bit annoying to deal with flies for some reason, and it's because they leave the front door open the whole time, I guess to invite people in. Thankfully they have a bug zapper and you can hear the zzing noise of a bug meeting their end. Perfect spot for getting work from home stuff done and for studying.

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

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

My mom got the iPhone 18 so why not snap a few pics, update the review and bless you with some nice new pics! First off, the parking still isn't great. It's a small parking lot located next to a building for lease and a liquor store. Two spots are dedicated to the liquor store, there's a handicap spot and probably 4-5 parks. It's usually full so you either have to park on Saticoy somewhere. Once you arrive you are greeted by some of the nicest waiters and waitresses in the valley. I think they are great and they are always so cheerful and happy to serve and help. As for the food, I went with the English Butty. My mom ordered the Black Forest Ham & Tillamook Cheddar Omelette, my son got the strawberry and blueberry pancakes and my dad ordered the Panwhich. A must order is still the lavender lemonade! Sooooo good!!! The food is still amazing and the portions are pretty big. The food usually comes with potatoes and a side of some green stuff. I'm not sure what it was but I killed it this time lol. Overall, Humble Bee is still a top location for some good, organic breakfast in the area and we will always be back for more! OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

Zoe took amazing care of us and was an absolute joy throughout our visit. Thank you Zoe!! We started with the Dr. Feel Good wellness shot, which Zoe actually made fresh herself. I really appreciated that it was housemade instead of coming from a prepackaged bottle--it felt fresh and intentional. And DID THE JOB! For food, we ordered the Humble Bee Animal Style and the Farm Boy with turkey sausage. Everything was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. And those pancakes... I'm still thinking about them! This is definitely a place worth trying. Between the generous portions, welcoming service, fresh quality ingredients, and reasonable prices, it's an easy spot to recommend. We'll absolutely be back!

The interior is clean and minimal, with an open-space aesthetic.
