The Coffee Tale

★★★★★ 4.7 (978) • $

"We stayed at a nextdoor and found a best kept secret Old World Village in which we found The Coffee Tale. The cappucino was exccellent. We had some German pastries as well."

Da Vien Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (945) • $$

"As if 6 cream tops weren't enough, Da Vien came out with banana cream!It reminded me exactly of banana pudding and it's so creamy that you can pretty much eat it by the spoonful. There's no artificial flavor and it's available for matcha and coffee lovers alike.If that's not your cup of tea, don't hold back on trying any of the other cream tops. My favorites are matcha and black sesame but you can't go wrong with any."

KRISP Fresh Living

★★★★☆ 4.3 (971) • $$

"I'd tell you a joke about macadamias, but you'll think I'm nuts.Nice clean spot with plenty of parking. Staff is helpful and patient. White macadamia oat was very good and not too sweet. I think it's better than the ones in Hawaii because you can actually taste the macadamia! Will return to try their Matcha Series."

Zombee Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (921) • $$

"Always the freshest donuts and Amazing customer service!!! A little birdie told me we may see a Dubai Chocolate Donut soon!!!"

Leaf N Cream

★★★★☆ 4.1 (908) • $$

"A very cute and modern boba shop in Tustin with specialty drinks and even acai bowls! They have Wi-Fi and a few tables where you can enjoy your boba or do work. I was stuck picking a drink because everything looked so good, but I got the Rose Vanilla Milk Tea and would 100% get this again. It was the perfect sweetness, and the custard pudding was the icing on the cake, which made the drink amazing. I got the drink with 75% sweetness but would get 50% next time. Parking was easy, and there were plenty of available spots. I would come back and recommend this place to anyone."

Taco Mesa

★★★★☆ 3.9 (979) • $$

"Can't rave about this place enough! Taco Tuesdays are my favorite day to come. I get the el pastor (pork) and fish taco. Workers are great and noticed they opened a second register to help if the line got long. Salsa bar has all the salsa, extra onions, extra cilantro, limes, lemons, and the pickled carrots. This place is the biggest location I've been to and definitely. Indoor seating. Lots of parking in the parking lot. Restrooms are clean."

★★★★☆ 4.2 (765) • $

"Super-cool, super-hip Korean coffee shop located on the top floor of The Source in Buena Park!The aesthetic is modern and beautiful! Definitely the perfect place to either study or catch up with a friend.I had the hojicha latte and it was so, so good! They have a nice selection of beautiful pastries and you can order items off of their menu that all looked amazing.Will definitely be back soon!!!"

Harmony Tea Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (766) • $$

"Harmony Tea Bar is beautifully decorated, filled with adorable goodies available for purchase. It's a fantastic spot to work or study, with both indoor seating and a lovely outdoor area. They offer a wide variety of options, but the standout for me was their matcha, especially the XL size, which was absolutely delicious. I went with the coconut matcha and didn't regret it, it was incredibly flavorful. The staff was very helpful and welcoming, offering me a chance to sample their matcha selection when I was torn between coconut and blueberry. Thanks to the tasting, I confidently chose coconut. It's a very relaxing and chill spot overall! They also offer a happy hour from Monday to Thursday, 6 PM to 8 PM, featuring $1 off all drinks and a $10 tea and toast combo. Don't miss it!"

Kei Coffee House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (765) • $$

"Hands down to another Kei concept Pastries are delicious, beef pate was yummy, the pastry was very flaky if you don't mind the mess. The breakfast burritos were loaded with eggs, sausages and the beacon crunch, great texture. Service - fast food pace. Order and wait Ambiance - spacious Filled to youngsters with their laptops"Remote@ works."

Pop Pie - Costa Mesa

★★★★★ 4.5 (615) • $$

"$11 for a chicken pot pie. They're around the same size as the frozen Marie calendar ones, but definitely more fresh and delicious. Also tried a slice of the quiche and we wished the came in a full pie. Can't wait to try the turkey pot pie for thanksgiving."

MyCha - Garden Grove

★★★★☆ 4.1 (720) • $$

"MyCha is a hidden matcha gem in GG!They have a wide selection of matcha treats. We've had their soft serve many times and recently got into the Matcha Cloud.A bit priced for their drinks and desserts but they don't skimp out on the portions or quality. We love that they try to keep the matcha true to its taste and not overly sweeten their drinks or desserts. Love it here."

Shirley's Bagels

★★★★☆ 4 (756) • $$

"Love Shirleys for really good bagels and bagel breakfast sandwiches...high quality and efficient...and great service with a smile!!! Been going here for a decade!!"

Fourtea

★★★★★ 4.6 (547) • $$

"One of my go to places for boba milk tea!I always order the Oreo slush- it's basically like a milk shake! So yummy!! I also like the strawberry one. The Thai tea is alright. My husband gets the milk tea drinks. He loves those. Service is always good. No issues there. Ambiance is a typical boba place. The boba is chewy and fresh at Fourtea."

Kaju Soft Tofu

★★★★☆ 4 (705) • $$

"Great place for when you're just craving tofu soup. It's currently $17.99 for their soondubu and comes with a hot bowl of rice and refillable banchan. The servers, along with the cat robots, are pretty attentive and stop by to refill your drinks/banchan regularly. Note: there are 7 spice level options on the menu I got a medium spice level which ran on the milder side, so I recommend getting spicy if you have moderate spice tolerance!"

Stereoscope Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (587) • $$

"Food/Drink: 9/10Service: 9/10Ambiance: 9/10I used to only know stereoscope for their americanos. And I always knew they were solid, just never thought they were special. BUT recently I tried their food and ceremonial matcha latte, and I have fallen in love. Adding their housemade vanilla syrup into their matcha latte... wow. I think it's the best matcha I've ever had. I tried their BLTA and famous breakfast burrito and it was just all good. I love a good breakfast. Coming back."

Newport Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (572) • $$

"The best Sundays include a combination of the Newport Beach Farmers Market and Newport Coffee.This local farmers market has easily become a weekly tradition. It sits pier side every Sunday in Newport from 9am-2pm. I love to start the morning with a drink from Newport Coffee, browse local produce, and a beach walk. My most recent drink order was a hazelnut latte with oat milk. Their coffee is served strong and not over powered by milk and flavoring. The inside has a few seats available, but this cafe is really meant for to-go orders. They also have a wide assortment of beautiful baked goods. Sadly I haven't tried any yet, but the orange cranberry muffin has been calling my name.There's a large paid parking lot nearby, making it really easy to snag a spot."

Caffe In Coffee Co.

★★★★★ 4.8 (457) • $

"#dEATs ( IG: @foodwithdeni) Madagascar Vanilla Cream Top & Banana Cream Top Latte from @caffeincoffeeco ! Happy New Year! Ive been seeing this coffee shop all over my feed and I finally visited their Anaheim Hills location. We loved our drinks and I would definitely order the Banana Cream Top Latte again. Seating inside & outside and parking lot available"

Raised By Lions Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.3 (551) • $$

"drink: the matcha is there but sometimes i get a big hit of milk which isn't something im a big fan of. i did ask for a bit of more syrup which help enhance the flavor of the matcha a bit more! overall its better to get the organic ceremonial matcha then the matcha latte! the cold foam is worth its money service: the drinks come out one at a time, it was not busy but it took them forever to make two drinks and there was three people in the front, the girl in the front was very nice though! ambiance: lots of table space to study but didn't see that many outlets, so just be aware! very clean!"

Crafted Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (550) • $$

"Not your typical donut spot. They're a little fancier but they're really good and for a decent price. Staff was friendly and they off coloring pages for kids that they hang on the wall to decorate which makes it a great family environment"

THH Sandwiches - Westminster

★★★★☆ 3.9 (661) • $

"Revisited because this is really the closest place to home. Got a cafe su da, and 2 regular baguettes.The girl gave me 3 because she noticed one of the baguettes was not shaped as round as it normally is so I appreciate that type of top level customer service.It's so busy at 8am, and am glad to give them a second chance."

Van Dyke Coffee Roasters

★★★★☆ 4.3 (527) • $$

"The location of this place is just across the Fullerton Municipal Airport. I walked in to a very casual atmosphere and a friendly greeting. It looks like a good place to sit and watch the plane land and take off. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no activity during my visit. I found the place on Yelp and wanted to try the blueberry scone, but it looks like I arrived too late. They said they're already out for the day. I opted for the corn cheese scone since it's not a common item. I bit into it and it crumbled very softly and started to melt in my mouth. They did a great job. The year of the corn is there for sure and I taste it. However, it was difficult to taste the cheese even though I see the melted cheese. I think I would have loved having small bacon bits in this thing.I visited the roastery on the side. They were actually roasting on site. Best way to get the freshest coffee in town.I will definitely come back when I'm in the area."

Belgium Waffle Haus

★★★★☆ 4.4 (503) • $$

"Waffles and the caramel latte make a winning combo!!! The service was so refreshingly genuine. Quick service and the food is really good! Went with a good friend of mine and we kept saying how we will come back! The overall ambience of the place was charming. I will bring my hubby and the kiddos here, they will appreciate it as much as I did."

JC Beans Coffee House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (627) • $$

"Came across this cute coffee shop a couple years ago in Dana Point. We were driving and saw a line of cars in the drive thru and said it must be good look at all the cars and we were pleasantly surprised that it was indeed so good. We get the Mexican Mocha, Vanilla Latte's, Zebra mocha, and my daughters love the blended freezes. Service is always friendly and helpful."

Ding Tea Bolsa

★★★★☆ 3.5 (739) • $

"I usually get the jasmine green tea with my own toppings, but this time I tried the Lotus olong tea, and it was phenomenal. Fingers crossed they keep it on the menu!"

bobaTEAque

★★★★★ 4.5 (434) • $$

"I have been here a few time to attend kpop related cupsleeves, but I always order teas. Today it was a Peach Black Tea w Crystal Jelly and Chia Seeds and to say I loved it is an understatement. Black Tea is my fave of all time and I think the flavor combo is on the spot. There is plenty of parking and the location is really accesible for anybody driving around the area. Ive been here w people and without and the staff is always in control and super friendly. They host the best cupsleeves and their tea and smoothie menu is excellent. Super recoomended indeed."

Kaffeine Alley

★★★★★ 4.6 (415) • $

"Just tried this spot today and it's so beautiful inside. The ambience inside is amazing. I had the help of Martin. Amazing customer service. I will be coming back again!!"

Cachi Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (450) • $

"My vendor friend and I came here for a drink after lunch. This café is pretty cute and there was a lot of indoor seating for you to pick from. You order from the kiosk and they'll call your name when the order is done. Minimal contact with staff. My vendor friend got the 16oz Iced Tea ($2.70) and I ordered a 20oz Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35). We both enjoyed our drinks. The matcha was good quality and it was a nice drink for me to take with me on the road. We sat ourselves while waiting for the order and there were crumbs left by the previous patrons. They didn't look too busy when we came in so I don't see why they can't keep the place clean. I also got a Cachi Special ($10.75) sandwich togo for my sweet boyfriend. It comes with grilled chicken, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, grilled mushrooms, fresh basil, olive tapenade and balsamic vinegar served on focaccia bread. I asked him how it was and it sounds dry and bready. Also when he was eating it I noticed him peeling off some bread around the edges where there was no filling. Probably not something we would get again. I think I'll stick to their drinks and skip the food here. Would consider another iced match if I find myself back in the area."

Sunright Tea Studio - Diamond Jamboree Center

★★★★☆ 4.3 (468) • $$

"I visited Sunright Tea Studio for the first time during a recent trip, and it was conveniently located near my hotel--a definite plus! I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba with pudding and grass jelly at 75% sweetness, and it was absolutely perfect. The flavors were well-balanced, and the sweetness level was just right without being overpowering.What really stood out was the boba itself--it was cooked perfectly, soft and chewy without any hint of hardness. Nothing ruins a good drink like undercooked boba, so this was a huge win.If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend giving Sunright Tea Studio a try!"

Bagelmania & Coffee House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (590) • $

"Been coming to this place for years. You'll see a lot of bad reviews about the long wait.. well its a VERY popular spot for a reason :). There is no better bagel place in OC for these reasons: - Number of interesting bagel and cream cheese flavors- Number of coffee options- Friendly, hard working staff- Drive Thru!- Very clean and good food preparation practices-Alternative options for dietary restrictions and allergies-Fresh!"

Mag's Donuts & Bakery

★★★★☆ 4 (529) • $$

"My boyfriend got 3 donuts and some freebie donut holes for only $5! Great price for a real donut shop. Service was amazing and the place was truly spectacular. I definitely recommend coming here for any sweet tooth!"

Javatinis Espresso

★★★★☆ 4.2 (476) • $

"I'm always pleasantly surprised by the wholesomeness of the Seal Beach business community and Javatinis is no exception. This storefront sits in downtown and specializes in coffee, smoothies, baked goods, and light bites. The cafe is on the smaller side with just a few tables for those who prefer to sip their caffeine in person. I stopped by for a grab-and-go situation and ordered their matcha frap and the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was the perfect size and gave me just enough energy to get the day started. A matcha frap might not have been the best move on a rainy afternoon, but I loved the taste and sweetness level regardless.I also adore how community-forward this coffee shop is. Visitors can explore their walls filled with photos of the Javatinis team dating back to 2013, business cards connecting you to local trades, and posters for upcoming events. You truly feel like you're in a small town exploring Seal Beach and I love that Javatinis leans into this identity."

Steadfast Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (362) • $$

"The food was so good and the coffee was amazing! Staff was helpful with selections as well and very nice. We will definitely go back soon!"

Bluestone Lane Old Towne Orange Café

★★★★☆ 3.9 (537) • $$

"Service was great! Food was delicious! Really liked the vibe there. We went on a Saturday morning, wait was about 10-20 mins! Try the Australian Latte! It's really good!"
