Milk & Honey

They have Portos pastries, so that's cool. Seems like they're marked up from how much they're sold at Portos, so that sucks. I got the matcha iced latte, pretty good! Ambience is chill; good for grabbing a book and reading/studying, or getting on your laptop and putting in some work. They have WiFi, and seem to welcome hanging for a while, so that's cool too. Drawback: no public restroom. Otherwise good!

The girl at the register was very nice, she said she was new but she was very attentive and sweet. The interior was very comfortable and cozy with lots of cute plants. A man came out from the back to make the drinks, and they were made quick but they were not good. My boyfriend got the iced Spanish latte and I got the "brown sugar gurl" iced with oat milk. The "brown sugar gurl" was very plain tasting and I could barely taste the coffee. It was worse than Starbucks honestly, super weak coffee taste. The syrup wasn't mixed in at all, it was all settled to the bottom of the drink. Normally syrups shouldn't even be visible like that at the bottom of the drink, which shows that they didn't mix in the syrup at all. My boyfriend didn't like the Spanish latte, it was so flavorless which was strange given all the things in the Spanish latte (cinnamon, chocolate, condensed milk). We tried each other's drinks and disliked both of them. Terrible coffee with no flavor, super milky. We threw them both away as soon as we left. Very disappointed, wish I would've read the other bad reviews below before coming. The only things that redeem this place is its very nice interior and the nice instrumental music they played.

I ordered a single shot of espresso and a hot Spanish latte. Unfortunately the espresso has a burnt taste and also was too bitter and sour to be considered bearable. After finishing my shot, I tried the Spanish latte. I had low expectations for the drink, but to my surprise, the latte tasted worse than expected. I was unable to taste any semblance of coffee flavor due to being buried by the bitter tasting chocolate powder. While the sweetness level was adequate for a Spanish latte, the amount of chocolate powder was overbearing and took over as the main flavor profile as a result. I did not consider the drink creamy or smooth either due to small bits of clumped chocolate powder. To end on a positive note, I did enjoy the bright and cozy interior and was able to comfortably work on my laptop for several hours before leaving. However, there is no restroom inside and was told by the staff member the closest one is in the nearby Ralphs.

The Housemade Milk Tea is not it lol. I added boba and it was not made properly. For a $7 drink, it was definitely not worth its value. Ambiance is very cute for a nice study spot, but the service was shaky. Just weird vibes as soon as I walked in. Anyways, good spot for studying but not so much with the boba drinks. There was also supposed to be chia pudding in the açaí bowl but guess not today lol

My husband and I ordered the brown iced girl and the butterfly dragon. Brown iced girl had a nice espresso flavor with a hint of brown sugar. It was light on the sweetness which I liked. Only complaint is their boba is more on the slimy and mushy side. The butterfly dragon was good too. It's more sweet. Tasted nice and fruity with some bubbly. Not bad, just wish their boba was better! Service was great, the girl at the counter was very kind and made suggestions. Owner was very nice too. The vibe inside is very nice and mellow. Great place to study or meet with a friend!

Cute little coffee/boba shop in Aliso. However, the experience itself was a let down due to inadequate staffing & training. It was 11:00 AM and there was only one barista/server/staff member working. She had a long line of customers already waiting for their food and drink orders before we had arrived. We could tell that they have also been waiting for quite a while. Understandably, that itself is a stressful situation for the one worker.BUT, there was a certain lack of urgency and time management issue. Do not take on more than you can chew... if you are already backed up on orders, do NOT pick up the phone and take MORE ORDERS. PUT THEM ON HOLD! We got a salted caramel latte & some Portos guava cream cheese strudels. The strudels felt like they were reheated a little too long and tasted stale because they were put in there when we had placed our order and given to us when everything was ready -- so in total about 20-25 minutes. I am not by all means a coffee snob, but I do like to observe how long baristas let my espresso sit before they mix it in with the milk. Like I had mentioned previously, there are time management issues as she made the espresso... and let it sit for a while before mixing because she was having a conversation with a customer as they were also having issues with their order. My overpriced coffee is now a bitter hot mess mixed with super sweet caramel syrup :(.

This place is a cozy space with cute decorations. I ordered a crepe with Nutella, bananas and strawberries to go. The crepe had a plentiful amount of toppings and was tasty. The service was friendly and the wait time decent. I with recommend checking them out.

Another place I can't believe I've not come to sooner! Such a cute and fun space! They've got WiFi so you could totally bring your laptop and workI got an iced Madagascar Vanilla coffee and it was so SO incredible! I also got an Acai Bowl which was heavenly! So delicious with the fresh fruit, I loved it. The two people working were super kind and fast! Definitely recommend stopping in!

Beautiful natural looking bakery and cafe with the greenery and beige walls. Loved that they had boba and sandwiches for a light lunch. I thought the place was cutesy but the food wasn't what I expected.They took our order. Unexpectedly the person who made my sandwich forgot the mozzarella. i originally thought it would have the fresh soft mozzarella. They brought a plate of thick unevenly sliced mozzarella cheese that made it hard for me to eat. I asked if they could melt my sandwich and they took it to the back to microwave it but it took an unusual long time. I waited for 10-15 min. But they neither remade it and it looked like it wasn't melted and just the same sandwich but lightly warm. I was skeptical to eat it had it been out longer than I wanted it and I just threw it away. I really was deceived by the pictures that highlighted the caprese sandwich. I should've just gone next door because my kids and I weren't thrilled about our sandwich and their brown sugared boba wasn't spectacular. My matcha was more milk than matcha. I did like that they had porto's baked goods. That was what I probably would've ordered instead but I'm unsure about coming here try anything else. This place is probably still underworks. I so hope they get better and do better with their customer service and food.

Quality products, great hours - open until midnight, good choice of drinks (the hot teas are a real treat), top notch desserts. The staff is very attentive and accomodating. The seating is comfortable - great place to do work - though it could use more tables (it's a small space). You just can't beat the hours - open until midnight.
