Street parking was super easy to find, which is always a plus. The vibe inside this café is everything—thrifted pieces on a rack, a Street Fighter arcade machine, album covers decorating the walls, Harry Potter playing on the TV, and the sweetest gal working the register and making my coffee. The aesthetics are right up my alley and gave the place such a warm, fun atmosphere.

I tried their Lavender Ghost latte and absolutely loved it. If I lived in Brea, I’d definitely be coming here all the time. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

As a prior emo/scene kid from the myspace era, this place is rad. The music selection is great, the atmosphere is great, and so is the service! They have some neat thrifted t-shirts and band shirts along the back walls. I only ordered a strawberry matcha, but it was fantastic. They used actual berries in a puree so it was pleasant getting little bits of berries while drinking. Made it more refreshing and enjoyable than the typical milk and matcha most places do. Its along the main Brea Blvd road, so you can park on the neighborhood street outside of it or just past it in the parking lot by PK Donuts. Will definitely have to return and try the baked treats!

Coffee, was decent. A bit bland. I got the Emo Latte and I made it a quad. Still manage to miss the coffee note 😭
I got the banana bread because the display said 2 pieces for 2.50
I got one piece for $5 🤣
The bread was decent. It was the little after taste of fridge 😅

Overall it was a decent place, I must come back. Everyone else was getting a drip coffee

went here after a hike and got a quick coffee. i love this place's vibe and aesthetic. there was less vintage stuff than i imagined - just a rack of shirts and an arcade machine. coffee was good but nothing really special. midday on a weekend was pretty quiet. not bad - not sure if i'd go back, but i think it was a nice place to get some reading in.

Cute spot! Plenty of free street parking. I got their lavender ghost with matcha instead of coffee and it was delicious!

Liked the location, service and ambience . Coffee could be made a Little better I believe tried lavender ghost coffee. chocolate cake was good to taste but was dry a bit- I think this could be made better. It just according to my taste and love for coffees and eateries would love to support our local stores.

I got the Emo Iced Latte and it was delicious! The door said it was closed Mondays but it was open, thankfully since we were from out of state. They also had some orange clothing for sale.

Ambiance: This place is totally a vibe. You can go thrift shopping AND get some great coffee? BOOKMARKED! They are renovating so i can wait to come back here to see what they have improved.

Service: No line on a Saturday late morning. Very chill.

Coffee: I got your standard vanilla latte. Some places just don't hold up such a basic drink, this place does because they make all there syrups in house. That lone should tell you they care about their craft.

What happened here? The old owner was always here and super friendly and fun. The new emo latte is no longer black (or made with activated charcoal), it's just a regular latte, The coffee is good, but everything that made this place melted vinyl doesn't seem to be there anymore. They didn't even have any specialty drinks, just three options for specialty lattes. Very saddened as it had a very fun emo charm to it.

They don't even have the old fun ouija style stickers 😭

A definite recommend! The shop really commits to the aesthetics, it feels like you're transported to a totally different era than the surrounding shops. Good music choices too! The staff was so helpful in guiding you through the options, very friendly and up for chit chat.

The Lavender Ghost latte I ordered was great, the lavender flavor really comes through. It's a bit pricey for the size but worth it for the experience. They also offer bitter coffees if that's your style.

Parking: Parking is no problem, free street parking and a strip mall lot across the way

Not ideal. Wanted to try a new coffee place. Pics online looked awesome, however that is not what we walked into. Didn't stay

Went in late Sunday afternoon and was not busy. Cute atmosphere inside with seating, emo music playing in the background and a few racks of quality vintage tshirts for sale to look at while you wait for your drink. ($15-20 a shirt)
Ordered a dirty chai + quad americano. Dirty chai was made fresh and hand ground. Probably the best I’ve had around the area so far. Coffee had chocolate undertones and was delicious. Well balanced and not overly bitter for either drink. Would definitely come back to try their other offerings. Not sure if there is a parking lot available in walking distance but I easily found street parking. Barista was friendly and knowledgeable about their coffee.
