No "drip" coffee after noon, so, can't just get a darn cup of coffee after noon, and you still call it a "coffee shop" giving 3 star, because didn't actually get to try any coffee

Always happy to visit a new third wave coffee joint in this part of the oc which is largely Starbucks land/doughnut shop territory. It's changing over time, there are now at least four or five third wave/Asian style coffee spots in and around Artesia. I stop through here on my drive between la and the westminster court (I'm a defense attorney).So I was here at opening (7 am), they were ready to go, washing the windows even. My cappuccino was very good, pastry options looked like the same stuff they have at all the other third wave coffee places. They had some fun sounding coffee drinks. Sitting area and bathroom situation was nice. Would return but not to eat.Vegetarian options: All of it.Dietary restrictions: VeganParking: Shopping center parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Sure.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

One of our favorite coffee places we have been going to frequently since they opened and especially since we boycotted Starbucks!! Their coffee is amazing and tastes like authentic coffee unlike generic coffee at Starbucks. My husband and I always get the Iced Holos Latte which is their signature drink. The earl grey syrup is delicious. Their other seasonal drinks are good, but that’s our favorite. Oh and their pastries are yummy too. ?

Came here a couple times and actually really liked this place! They have parking but the spaces feel kinda tight! When you go in the place can be pretty busy! It seems like lots of people hang here! Had their iced holos latte which I personally actually enjoy A-LOT. One of the better signatures I've had for sure! Service is friendly and there's lots of seating but can get pretty packed! Would definitely go here again just for their latte!

The iced Holos latte is what I get any time I want to treat myself and choose to make it a special day. The combination of the coffee, tea, and oat milk are perfection- nothing is too strong or over powers the flavors of the other. I wish I could review any other drink on the menu, but I have only ever ordered the Holos latte iced as that is what makes me drive to this cafe. I'm literally excited the entire drive there looking forward to it! My daughter loves the matcha and says it's her favorite from all the cafes she has been to. It's pricey for someone like me who drinks coffee at home everyday so I love this intentional treat I buy myself. The quality and taste are always consistent and precise and absolutely worth every penny.

Their Holos iced latte is soooo freaking good! I can't believe I didn't know about this place! The latte has earl grey flavor and so creamy and rich! I really fell in love with this latte and I am sad that they are located so far away! Please come to Pasadena Holos! I will definitely be back when I'm in town! It aaa very packed when I went on a Thursday afternoon which is surprising. Seems like a lot of young students go there to study and stay there for a while so seating is tough if you're trying dine in. I took my latte to go but the vibes there seem very chill and relaxed!

Always searching for a new breakfast spot for my usual Friday morning and my son actually found this place when we were visiting nillys near by. Arriving we were quickly greeted. Looking over the menu, they carry just about every drink you can think of. What makes this place special is the pastries. Since I was only able to choose 1 I optend for that morning bun. It looked delicious. Could see all that sugar, it reminded me of a churro. We took a seat and the food and drinks were brought to us. The coffee was finished in a beautiful flower design, I almost didn't want to drink it lol. It was a mocha flavored coffee. It was good but the bun is the thing I'm going to be coming back for. It was a churro, cinnamon roll and croissant all in one. Definitely recommend this place and we will be back for breakfast soon.

I have been to a lot of coffee shops both here in California and in Nevada (where I moved from a couple of years ago). This coffee shop is super cute, coffee is amazing and vibe is great. Even though I have my own office to go to, I try to make time to just hangout and do a little work at Holos to feel at ease. It's incomparable to other coffee shops in my opinion. I can't put my finger on it but the entire atmosphere is unlike any other shop I have been in.

The coffee was amazing, offering a perfect taste for a rainy day. However, the price for a small cup was slightly higher than expected.

Ambience and service were spot on! Nice, clean and industrious interior. Tried their ice vanilla caramel latte as well as their coffee with house cream n milk. I feel both have a nice settle bitterness to it without overly being it too sweet( a solid coffee flavor). Would recommend for coffee lovers to come try out!!
The coffee was good, although a little too sweet even after asking for less sugar. Biggest downside is ordering a HOT coffee drink it came in a paper cup AND a quite thin PAPER LID. I understand sustainability and recyclability however when you pair a HOT drink with a thin paper lid, steam, condensation.....guess what. That paper lid becomes pliable and doesn't quite stay on your paper cup well. The contact fit between paper cup to paper lid was not tight to begin with. It didn't have that "snap" secure fit on the cup rim like a plastic lid has. Needless to say the coffee leaked and spilled thru the softening paper lid, burned my hands picking up the cup with the lid collapsing damn near causing the whole cup to fall from under into my lap. Seriously.....paper lids are NOT a good idea when you're trying to enjoy a HOT coffee *no picture of the paper cup and lid as it spilled on my shirt, got pissed and tossed it*

2 hr wait for car due to oil change, so, coffee I did seek Holos, I learned means "whole" (wholesome) in Greek "Wholeness begins with a rhythm of work and rest," you might read In this shop, that is the vibe indeed If you're lucky, to sit, there will be a spot Seemingly liked by many, you may risk not Holos latte and short cream latte, popular I could tell Short cream latte tried today, quick sell No straw, swirl, sip, and repeat Wow, quite a treat Not overly sweet and it is balanced nice Cute 10oz size, I would order twice The croissants looked shareable and scrumptious, too If in the area, stop in, try something new xoxo -Op

The best coffee spot. We tried their crème iced latte and Holo latte. Both of the drinks were perfect and tasted great. We were in town for a visit and stumbled on this. Definitely worth visiting again. The service was good and place had nice ambiance as well.

I looked up this place up real quick, because I wanted my iced coffee fix before hitting the Cerritos mall. I went by reviews, of course, and they did not fail me. The inside is simple and clean. There are plenty of tables and a bench where you can lounge or do your homework assignments. It gets pretty busy inside where almost every seat is taken. This was a Saturday morning as well. For being as busy as they were that morning, the service was excellent and the coffee came out just as I liked my honey oat lattes to taste. I tried their almond croissant, and that was beyond fresh and delicious as well.
