50 Best Cafes near Placentia

“this was some of the most delicious food I've ever had. Definitely going to be my place when in Placentia. I highly recommend that you give them a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“One of the BEST boba tea in Orange County! Visited for the first time yesterday and had to come back again today. Ordered the YoYo fresh fruit tea with lemon (in lieu of orange), brown sugar boba & rainbow jelly - DELICIOUS! The place is clean with an earthy vibe - there's even a mural with Placentia landmarks. Owner, Adrianna, was super nice and friendly.“

“Hands down the best coffee shop in OC!! I’ve been coming here consistently for the past 4 years and I haven’t found anywhere that comes close.
- The workers are some of the nicest people you’ll meet. You can tell they enjoy each other’s company which makes the atmosphere light and enjoyable to be around. Kate, the manager is awesome and really goes the extra mile to take care of the shop and its customers.
- The environment is like no other shop you will ever go to. The architecture is beautiful and sets the tone for any work you need to get done whether work or school.
- Last but not least the coffee! Definitely the most consistent and delicious cup of coffee you will ever get. They don’t have 7 different sizes for each drink…? I love it. The name of the drink defines the size which is how it should be! I am a coffee connoisseur, more like an espresso connoisseur. I love anything from espresso shots to cortados/Gibraltar’s to lattes, Golden State makes them all taste amazing. Any coffee shop can make 1 good cup of coffee, but to do that consistently for every single cup is another level of professionalism that Golden State has mastered.
So thankful for this place and the coffee support they’ve given me over the years:)
I just wish they had a rewards program. Other than that the place is phenomenal!“

“Great Coffee at an even greater price. Also they are Ma & Pop friendly! I have always bought delicious coffee from Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“This place is amazing. I randomly stumbled in there and ordered the Big Island Einspanner not having any idea what it was.. it was legitimately the best drink I’ve ever tasted.. there whole menu looks delicious. I had an iced latte the next day which was very good as well.“

“My wife and I were visiting the area recently and wanted to try a local restaurants with decent food at a fair price. We were tired of over paying for food at other locations. We ended up at The Brunch Cafe and I must say that we found a gem that we will continue visiting when we are in the area. Food portions were big and acceptable prices. Highly recommended.“

“Very delicious and very pleasing presentation to the eye! Definitely would recommend, the wait was a little long but it’s very understandable!! Very satisfied with our choice of coming here for breakfast, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Great breakfast choices, all home cooked. Quality food with Quality service. 5 min from Disneyland. Very affordable. Carl from Colorado“

“Recently under new ownership! Simple menu and most baked goods made in house and the coffee beans are sourced ethically :) im not an huge coffee enthusiast but the brownie and latte combo was elite. Definitely stop by and give this place a try.“

“I happen to go to the tea place next door and saw this place and the menu caught my attention. I was fascinated by the port cutlet and the nice Japanese omelette over the rice with curry. I walk in and I get greeted by the lady who is so nice and friendly. Ordered the pork cutlet with rice and egg omelette and it was delicious

Cutlet was nice and crispy combined with the curry sauce. The was nicely done and added a twist to the rice. Definitely coming back here again. Friendly staff work here“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

“First visit, the building looked a lot smaller on the outside, and to my surprise, they have indoor upstairs seating as well. I ordered a seasonal Strawberry Brulée Latte (iced) and it was exceptionally pleasant. It was a good and balanced drink. I also tried a sip of the Matcha version, and they made sure the matcha flavor was good and apparent. Would definitely revisit.“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“A Fresh Take on Tradition - Phin Smith Coffee Review Walking into Phin Smith Coffee immediately sets the tone for a unique experience. This isn’t your average coffee shop; it’s a journey into a blend of tradition and modern flair that Phin Smith has perfected. First, the aroma: it’s enchanting. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the comforting smell of freshly roasted beans. It becomes evident that they source high-quality, single-origin beans, an aspect that hardcore coffee enthusiasts will appreciate. Their signature blend is a perfect balance of bold and smooth, with hints of chocolate and a nice, clean finish. The real game-changer is the way Phin Smith honors the traditional phin brewing method. This Vietnamese style of brewing coffee takes patience, and the result is a rich, intense flavor not found in your typical espresso. The coffee doesn’t just taste good; it’s an experience watching it brew—the slow drip of the filter, the thick coffee mixing with milk (if you prefer), and finally, the all-consuming first sip. Pure bliss. But Phin Smith isn’t all about tradition; they integrate modernity into their practice seamlessly. Whether it’s their sustainable business practices or the innovative seasonal drinks, the creativity is nothing short of impressive. The ambiance strikes a balance between cozy and contemporary, making it an ideal spot for anything from casual meetups to low-key work sessions. The staff contributes majorly to the positive atmosphere, always welcoming and with an in-depth knowledge of their craft. You can feel the passion in the service, which is just as delightful as the coffee they serve.“

“I discovered this cafe a few weeks ago, and I am now a regular customer at the Classic Cafe. Not only are the drinks delicious, but the food and service here is excellent! The cupbap is so, so good, especially for the price you are paying for. All the flavors work so well together, and I highly recommend the bulgogi and chicken cupbap. The sandwiches here are perfection too! The turkey and pesto panini sandwhich is absolutely exquisite, and I have been obsessed with these ever since I first tried them. Really love this place!!“

“My fave place to write and edit and have a little mom's escape for an hour from work and family work. Get a cookie! I usually order an Iced Matcha with Coconut milk - creature of habit. Sometimes they make recs for me to add a flavor or something fun and I always love it!“

“Great Customer Service. Sylvia and her crew understand CS. Just go“

“Pleasantly surprised.
Whenever someone suggests "Brunch" I can't help but groan because finding a good cafe is surprisingly difficult. However, Kimmie's was fantastic. Delicious and great portions. My only gripe is that the inside was unbearably hot, but sitting outside was pleasant.“

“My sis took me out in the morning to this place. Everyone minds their own business & the atmosphere is very chill. The coffee is so freaking good, i got the mocha drink, and she got the pumpkin spice latte. this is a win win for me cuz im obsessed with coffee :3“

“Awesome!!! Best smoothies ever!“

“First time visit! We will be back! Fabulous dig-friendly patio! Adorable and vintage indoor seating. Vast menu! Quality food! Great service!“

“Spontaneous breakfast this morning with the family. We are visiting from Canada and were craving breakfast. So refreshingly inviting and friendly after a few days of Disney /hotel breakfasts. Kids had Mickey pancakes, husband had an omlette and I had 2 eggs meal. We both loved our meals and the boys were over the moon with mickey pancakes! May have to make a few stops before vacation is over!“

“The service was nice and friendly. The Prosciutto on ciabatta bread was delicious and the bread was toast just right for the crunch and firmness of the bread so it doesn’t crumble in your hand. The Alexander the Crêpe was just a wonder mixes of flavor.“

“Started with delicious chips and dark red mild salsa rich in flavor. Creamy jalapeño salsa is 7 out of 10 on spice rating, too hot for us but good taste. Filet minion taco was beyond delicious. Crispy tamarind shrimp taco was average. Short rib birria was good but a bit too spicy. The chocolate flan was one of the best desserts I've possibly ever had. The mango cake was very good too. Loved the modern yet warm decor. It's noisy but vibrant. A fun experience. Located within the Westin hotel across from Disneyland.“

“Great location, nearby Disney. Good drink là and friendly service. Definitely recommended.“

“MY FAVORITE FOOD SPOT! and i don’t mean that lightly. I’ve been coming here for months and not only has the food been consistently great but so has the coffee. Eric and Casey know what they’re doing to say the least. If you haven’t already check this place out you won’t regret it!“

“I love this spot so much. The food is great, location perfect. I eat here almost every time I'm in the area. I think it's time I try a panini next time I come through. I love that the sides aren't the usual fries and chips. The pasta salad and Cesar salad are to die for. But by far, I love the sweet touch of a little sweet treat along with the order.“

“The food is good, huge Portion’s . Many different food options to choose from. Cool atmosphere. Very artsy ! It was worth the day trip.“

“Most good boba places just do good tea and good boba. That’s it. But this place goes beyond expectation. Their drinks are very thick and used real ingredients. They also have extra healthy drinks that were designed just for their shop.

Their new Korean rice drink was my no1 favorite. I asked for recs and it was not on the menu yet but it’s very good. It smells like hojicha but made of Korean grains. Avocado drink was very good. Best avo drink I’ve had in OC.

Taiyaki was also very good. It’s made fresh at the counter and you could see it. Custard and red bean are my favorite.“

“These donuts are on the way to El Paso, Texas… Great service this morning!“

“Been coming here for years, People are great food is excellent and I just love the old diner atmosphere all thumbs up from me .“

“Sometimes they have entertainment in the evening and the comedy show is the best! The tickets are $15, and the intimate venue make for a great evening of hilarious comedy.“

“A tad on the pricey side but the donuts are made fresh to order. You can’t beat a warm donut.

They are fresh & warm and very tasty. They offer seasonal specials so a few flavors change.

Worth a treat once in awhile.“

“I recently visited Enchanted Coffee Bar and tried the matcha tonic for the first time, while my sister had the yuju drink. I'm a big fan of citrus, so I wasn't sure about the matcha at first. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The matcha had the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness--not too sweet, just right. The space was cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to relax. I'll definitely be back to try more!“

“Came here on a Saturday evening. There were other families there, but it definitely wasn't crowded. Plenty of tables and plenty of space for the kiddos in the play area. Our group had kids aged 2 up to 5 years and they all seemed to have a blast. Ours was the youngest, and he enjoyed running from toy to toy, riding the little merry go round and train, and especially coming down the slide. The kids also got balloon animals. It's $9 for 2 hours for the kids, and $2 for each 30 min. thereafter. Adults are free as long as you order food. We had a mix of Italian and Korean food, and it was actually pretty good. The place is very clean, and they do provide slippers if you like. (You have to leave your shoes in an unlocked locker at the entrance, and everyone needs socks.) Attendants go around the play area once in a while and put toys and things back in tidy places. A sign says you're supposed to supervise your child in the play area, but I sometimes saw parents of older kids not really paying attention. There weren't any mishaps. There are some split screen monitors over in the dining area. Parking is free and validated in the mall/HMart structure. Enter on Manhattan Place, and go straight and up (left and down is for HMart, according to a sign). Merry go round goes off at 15 before and after. Train rides are on the hour. If there's lots of kids, they're sometimes nice enough to run twice. We'll definitely consider returning, even without other families.“

“I didn't like the breakfast sandwich because of the thick liquid eggs. I'm picky with that and others are too. But 5 stars for the delicious espresso and pastry. Pumpkin macaroon lacked pumpkin spread. Get the rasberry one if you want something sweet it's amazing.“

“This food was a step back into Japan. The onigiri are absolutely scrumptious, rivaling those found in Japan. The Tuna+Mayo was delicious. The Salmon was excellent, salty in the best way. But the star was the spam, wow, it was amazing. The matcha baked cookies were excellent, and the tea they serve is perfect with the meal. I highly recommend this place.“

“plenty of BNSF freight trains with boxcars tank cars and all. and always had a lot of Amtrak and Metrolink. I started coming here 1977 believe me it wasn't like this then.“

“this place serves authentic cuban food! despite long lines, the service is fast and friendly. walking into this restaurant felt like walking into an ikea-- it's a bustling atmosphere with so much to look at. this is a must visit place if you ever visit socal! overall, 5/5 stars!“

“We love working at local businesses.“

“Great Little Place!!! Met up with some mamas for some coffee, stayed for the chilaquiles (highly recommend the green sauce with an over easy egg) and finished off with fresh warm churros! Even got a dozen to go :) to take home for the kids of course ;) great place for small intimate chats.“

“If you’re looking for a cozy and relaxing spot, I highly recommend **Hide Out by Tea Lane**. It's a wonderful place to unwind with a great selection of teas and a serene atmosphere. Perfect for some quiet time or catching up with friends!“

“Pink boba thank you for your great services. Staff is always nice. The inside of the store looks better now and clean. And it's always great to have you around the corner especially during the summer. So far all your flavors are great! They have a delight taste. Love your business hours too. And the stamp card to get a free boba. #YeiPinkBoba“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“First and foremost the baristas and staff are all friendly. I appreciate small businesses. Tribute Coffee is a place we'll return because the drinks and food we tried so far have all been great. We had the Peanut Butter Mocha and Charcoal Mocha. Both were a pleasant surprise! Nice small coffee shop in a big coffee shop world! Order ahead online or stop on by!“

“Nice teas also great beverages“

“If you are looking for Starbucks on Main Street in Disneyland, it’s right here! Here is also the “Only” store you can buy Disneyland been there mugs in the park. The Starbucks in Downtown Disney and DCA ( at Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe ) don’t sell any Disneyland x Starbucks Merchandise.“

“I got a mocha. They roast their own beans. They have a food selection. Those different kinds of croissants, couple different kinds of breads and a couple different kinds of cookies. You can sit outside, they have a patio. You can get a Chagaccino here.“

“Fresh and soft donuts like cotton candy you eat and melting in your mouth. Even Dunkin‘ Donuts CANNOT compare with Sunrise Donuts, Original Donuts, real donuts. I used to be a Donuts Baker, that’s why I know what real delicious and juicy donuts are like. In addition, always friendly staff and clean A+ environment. Best donuts in town.“
