“Stopped by on my lunch break and had to try the coffee spot my coworkers always raved about. I was pleasantly surprised to find this location in a cute little trailer. The barista was very friendly and gave me a run down on where exactly the coffee is grown and roasted. I love that there's no extra charge for syrups or milk. I think I found my new coffee plug by work!!! Will be back!“
“Seesaw Cafe has quickly become my go-to spot in Buena Park, and for good reason—it's truly unique. Catering to both coffee and tea aficionados, as well as health-conscious individuals, Seesaw offers an experience like no other. The Earl Grey Lavender Tea Latte is what I came for and it exceeded my expectations, delivering a perfect harmony of flavors and creaminess that's simply unmatched. Personally, what sets Seesaw apart is their Keto Bread, providing a healthier alternative to traditional pastries and sweets. Additionally, their partnership with Bag of Cakes, a bakery from Fullerton, ensures top-notch quality pastries. Beyond these delightful treats, Seesaw's commitment to supporting people with disabilities through community service initiatives adds an extra layer of appreciation to the overall experience. Love the peaceful vibes as well!“
“This is my favorite coffee shop although there are a lot in LB. I’ve probably been to all of them and this is the best by far. Their coffee is just right…you can taste the coffee and not overly sweet. I’ve tried about six different coffees here and they’re all excellent. My favorite is the 007 and their matcha. Their scones are also freshly made and sell out. Highly recommend this spot.“
“I have purchased Blue Flame coffee Signature (3) different times, and (3) 12 oz bags each time. The coffee is very consistent tasting and to my coffee opinion very enjoyable. I drink (2) 12oz pour overs per day and I weigh both the beans and water. So I can safely state the coffee is consistent tasting. For best "pour over" taste, do not grind too finely, it will produce a sour acidic taste, but with proper grind sizing it tastes sweet and smooth. I'm using a Fellow Ode grinder, with a 5 grind setting, and I'm using the Hario V60 dripper, 12oz water with 23 gram beans. I highly recommend the coffee, and the 9 bucks per bag cost is phenomenal. Be sure to call before visiting, twice they were not there during business hours.“
“The pour over coffee is highly recommend as well as strawberry matcha. Also bakery items are good but sell out in morning. Service ppls are very friendly and bring drinks out to u. Overall atmosphere is great with amazing natural lighting. Only downside is wifi sucks there and not many “
“My daughter and I came in here yesterday (January 21st, 2024) before iur trip to the mission. And it was pouring rain. Ambiance - this place is just so relaxing and cute. It is a small cafe but there are chairs and tables outside too. This place reminds me of my backyard very cozy. They have succulents all over the place and they also have cute merch near the counter. They also sell the coffee packs. ps. I should've bought one sugh !Service - when we came in it was busy. But it was fast and they greeted us!Service- I got the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Good amount pf portion and I have extra for me to eat later. Then my daughter got the sandwich the one with bacon. She was really digging it. Now, she wanted me to make her some for breakfast. hehe. Then for our drinks we got hot chocolate (for my daughter) which was really tasty, and I got a surprise coffee with almond milk which was good as well. I asked the barista to just whip me something that is very strong so I can last the whole day. And it was delivered, Thank you!ps. we got to our destination and we just realized that we actually ordered a muffin. So, I called the place and texted my receipt to the owner and I got my refund for that. I appreciate it so much! We will be back someday! As we live so far away. But for now, I just know where to go whenever we're in the area.“
“Awesome local coffee shop with great neighborhood vibes. Owners are really friendly. There is even a little toy barista set up for kids to play with! Drinks are great - big fan of the bourbon caramel latte. The dark chocolate peppermint (seasonal for the holidays) was also great. I usually get my drinks half sweet and it is the perfect amount of sweetness. They also roast their own beans. We often buy our bagged coffee from here to brew at home!“
“5 star FRESH local roastery & cafe!! The owners and employees are super cool, super friendly, and they also have probably the best coffee & best prices anywhere! Grab a fresh espresso or drip, & an amazing just roasted bag of whole beans or ground coffee for all your home brewing needs! This place is a hidden gem!! If you're a coffee lover, you don't want to miss stopping by! They also love cars, so that's an added bonus!“

“Exactly what you would expect from a coffee roaster. Great cup of coffee, the food pairing was really good and the space itself its really chill. You get to see where they roast and their store is nice. In front there is a park where you can take a nice walk with or after your coffee. I would totally recommend it for coffee lovers.Parking: Mopre than 10 spaces because they are in front of a park.“

“I was so excited when I found this local roaster on Yelp, and to my surprise, Pacific Beans completely exceeded my expectations! To give you some background on my coffee preferences, I love purchasing single-origin coffee beans to make pour overs at home using my Hario V60. I usually buy online from highly reputable roasters such as Onyx Coffee Lab and Black and White Roasters. This local roaster is almost on that same level without having to pay for shipping or steep mark-ups. About a month ago, I purchased three coffee bean offerings from them (two in person and one online), and they were all amazing. I'm impartial to naturally processed Ethiopian beans, but I had to try the Indonesian offering, and it didn't disappoint! I did wish that the Indonesian offering was roasted lighter to get more of the fruity notes, because those beans seemed to grind finer than the other offerings I purchased. I also tried their El Paraiso and their Santa Lucia Gesha - both were amazing and complex in their own ways. I love that they didn't over-roast these beans and that they roast in small batches to ensure that you'll pick up a fresh bag. The exotic, fruity flavors really come out in these beans, and I was able to taste all the notes they had listed on the packaging (especially the El Paraiso, which was by far my favorite - the lychee notes were so prominent in that one!) Best of all, you can call ahead and place your order, and they'll roast it for you the next day. You can also order online on their website, and they'll ship it to you for free. They have a selection of freshly roasted beans on stock as well, if you're looking to pick up something quick. In person, service was very friendly and helpful. It is quiet, and the location is a bit hard to find (it's along an alley away from the busy traffic of Beach Blvd). It is quiet in there since their cafe is closed, but you can still visit during open hours to buy beans.“
“Always an excellent experience. This place has fantastic coffee, with a good selection of interesting pour over brews and whole beans. Also very good espresso drinks; both the standard and seasonal options are consistently excellent.Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the coffee they're making and serving. And they sell the Hario filters I use at home. ✅“
“An interesting larger than anticipated coffee spot located in a corner strip mall across the street from Los Al High School, this spot boasts a Filipino inspired menu with beans imported fresh from the Philippines. I ordered a Nido Latte and a pork siopao. The latte was rich and a little heavy (because Nido), sweet but not overpoweringly so. It definitely had a nostalgic flavor and was substantial (again, because Nido). I had ordered it iced but received it hot, but I imagine it might have been better this way anyway. The pork siopao was delicious, with the perfect texture that rivals popular dimsum/manapua bakeries in the greater area. The little sauce they gave on the side was a little congealed (probably because it was stored in the fridge), but it didn't really need it. The store seemed clean but looking a little worn. The dining area didn't seem like it was getting a ton of use, so it was being used more so for storage than for seating but there is plenty of space there. And the gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and hospitable. I definitely recommend checking out this spot, especially if you're looking for strong and smooth specially curated coffee.“
