    This place is so cute! Lots of seating space to study or catch up with a friend! Their drinks are also very refreshing and service is quick!

    Great tea near my house, comfortable place to hang out, books, games, yummy sandwiches and snacks, and Luis is a fabulous host that offers super friendly service.

    Matcha latte with strawberry cold foam
    Rosa V.

    Definitely not kid friendly,!! The cashier was really nice at all times. The Place had loud hip hop music, I had my 3 kids with me and of course 2 of them were running around since there was only 2 persons in the place with headphones on. Bought 4 drinks, 3 deserts. 1 of the drinks was made wrong. The matcha latte and teas were good. The experience overall was bad, the drinks ok. While waiting for over 10 mins, an employee came up to us and told us we needed to keep the kids on one side and basically calm.. Of course we're not coming back, we wouldn't not stopped if it said no kids welcome.

    Not only they have yummy tea selections but they also sell baked goods from Homeboy Industries. I went nuts and bought 4 types of tea blends like Zeke's Blend, Berry Blend and Hawaiian Fruit and Japanese Matcha! Wonderful relaxing ambiance and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

    With a wide variety of teas, Im a big fan of trying as many as I can so the flight appealed to me. ~$15 for any 4 teas including milk teas and even matchas, I ordered golden chai, peach oolong matcha, assam lavender and strawberry mint (green tea). And they only have alternative milks !!! Such a lactose-intolerant friendly place. In the order that I enjoyed the most: strawberry mint, golden chai, assam lavender, peach matcha. Maybe the chai and matcha would've been better had it been colder. I asked for iced but maybe the ice melted because the temp was little cooler than lukewarm. I've known about Homeboy industries before and was so cool to see that they sell their pastries! For those who don't know, they train/hire individuals who were incarcerated and teach them job skills I docked a star because it just took too long. A pretty steady flow of people for the hr I was here but my order took over 30min. Thankfully I had work to do and lingered around but if I was in a rush, I wouldn't be a very happy customer.

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this tea house!! It's such a charming and welcoming establishment. I was immediately drawn in by the music that was playing. Can't ever go wrong with early 2000's rnb. Now, back to the tea: There were so many options to choose from and I wasn't sure what to get. The owner made some amazing recommendations so I went with an iced green tea mixture of some herbal teas he put together. I also purchased a hot tea for a friend who was a little under the weather. I love that the wall has a list of premade tea options and what they're good for. It wasn't very busy so while he made my teas we had a chance to make small talk and chat about kids, life and travel. It honestly felt like I was hanging out with a family member. I definitely appreciate the hospitality and great service. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone who loves tea! I plan on returning soon to try the matcha .

    First Yelp of the Year Upon walking in I got greeted, empty but now busy. I was able to smell a few Teas. Pomegranate and Rose Petals Pomegranate -Fruity Smell Rose 0Petals-Too Flowering So I opted for a Black TEA infusion with Blackberry Tea and a chocolate chip cookie Litzy (sorry if it's not spelled right) was My Cashier and Friendly along with a other Coworker. Cleanliness 4/5 Music 4/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere/Surrounding 3.8/5 I'll be back ladies.

    Jasmine Dragon
    Sara C.

    This place feels like a cute hidden gem in Norwalk. The first time I ordered through yelp and by the time I arrived it was ready. The second time I went in person to order and saw that they brewed everything on the spot. They have a variety of selections to order from as well as loose leaf options to purchase. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program. Both times I've ordered the Jasmine Dragon and it was delicious, the tea flavor was amazing and the added matcha just completed the drink.

    Sofa seating area

    This cute and cozy tea house has a HUGE array and must have more than 100 teas (botanical, black, green, oolong, milk blends, medicinal, organic, iced) and offers tea flights! It also has a delectable selection of Homeboy Bakeries pastries. We got two flights, a peach cobbler danish, chocolate croissant, and turkey and cheese croissant and everything was SO good. Service was very warm and helpful, tea was served at the perfect temperature, pasties warmed to a savory sizzle. Ambience calm and clean with soothing music and an option for table seating or sofas. Parking was easy. It's very tucked away in a small strip mall and I must have drove past it dozens of times. Now that I know, I'll definitely be back. Two suggestions for the owner, bathroom decor should be considered and maybe a small topiary outside.

    So relaxing enjoying my peaceful tea time. Matcha is so good! Highlights of the menu: 1. Tea flights cold tea (4 flavors): - Matcha tea - Qilan Oolong - White tip silver needle - Pai mu tan 2. Ceylon iced tea 3. Assam iced tea 4. Banana muffin So chill with the tea flight when playing games with my sister.

    Aphrodite Tea
    Lavender C.

    If you love tea or are looking to begin drinking tea but don't know where to begin. I recommend Zen's Tea House. Their lavender matcha is to die for! If you like it on the sweet side don't forget to ask for agave. The Aphrodite is the best fruity tea ever. Highly recommend. Workers are kind ambience is amazing.

    Lavender matcha cold foam, brownie, Strawberry Mint Refresher
    Gethsemane O.

    Both drinks were very delicious, as well as the brownie. Great customer service, super sweet! Enough seating to do homework or just to chat with friends. Would recommend!

    I ate the double chocolate chip cookie but it was inside that lil baggy with the logo.
    Jazmin Q.

    Went on a whim this morning and wanted something other than coffee. So I looked up "tea" on Yelp and this was one of the closest and open around my area. DID NOT DISAPPOINT They have a great selection of teas to order from, oolong, black teas, cold or hot. Even some tasty food options and bakery items. I went with the double chocolate chip cookie It was DELICIOUS best way to describe it is it has the cookie texture PLUS brownie texture ?? Yum I ended up trying the sweetened Thai Tea with oat milk - perfection. It taste organic? Authentic? Like upon drinking you are met with a thrilling burst of flavor, completely pure and wholesome. It's a distinct note. So darn good. Me gusta! Also the place inside is cute has room for sit and sip and even study or work. They have two sofas so you can sit and relax too. They have little (fake) cute plants too.

    Yes a coffeeshop open late! First time here

To be honest the parking is probably the least fortunate aspect of this cafe ambiance: study vibes all the way, nice quiet, good amount of seats, they have outlets, i believe they have wifi as well fun features: the ice is coffee too!

I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.

I got a few desserts and a matcha strawberry foam latte (they use ceremonial grade matcha) and the biscoff latte. Loved that both weren't overly sweet and the biscoff latte had a rich coffee taste. My favorite dessert by far was the banana mousse. By the time we left, the line was out the door. Even though it was packed, the servers are super friendly and take the time to make sure you're enjoying yourself. Definitely a must try place if you're in Downey. No need to go to LA to try those over hyped dessert places. One Twelve Cafe does it just as good, if not better and they have many more tasty options to choose from.
