“One particularly hot night my mom and I searched, “Best Gelato near me” and the top result was Mangiamo! After eating the gelato 3 times in a row, we can definitely say that title is well earned! The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too! The server is also incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. Overall, this place is such a phenomenal experience and we would highly recommend it for vacationers and gelato connoisseurs alike!“

“1000% will be back! I was at the laundromat next door and ran over for a quick lunch while my clothes were in the dryer. The service was impeccable and quick, food was delicious, and portions were spot on. I had the breakfast bowl and an order of mini pancakes and will have enough for a second meal. You can tell it’s all made by hand and with love, fresh and hot. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable with plenty of street parking nearby. There is a laundromat next door too - so you could give yourself a little treat while your clothes are in the dryer.“

Beyond the amazing coffee and treats, Padekwa has such a unique and welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for meeting friends, working, or hosting small to mid-size gatherings and events. A true hidden gem that combines exceptional drinks, tasty bites, and a space that brings people together.“

“amazing coffee's, great barista/owner“

“First time being here.
I had cash but they only accept card.
Cameron provided a wonderful experience and a free coffee!
I tipped my smaller bulls but felt bad since I had a large bill (surviving until pay day).

I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area.
Gracias“

“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)“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“Wow. You need to grab a breakfast burrito and a banana cream cold foam iced latte (which they rotate seasonal coffees every few months). Also, a fantastic grab and go cold section to take a quick snack down to the beach. Sundays, Ian whips out the bbq and grills up some incredible smash burgers 10/10. **coming soon, taco Tuesdays. Surfer vibes, bring the fam, come chillax.“

“I really like it because the food is good and prices reasonable“

“This cheesecake did NOT reach any further than the parking lot. It did not SURVIVE the trip to my house. Best cheesecake I've ever had hands down. The banana pudding cheesecake was absolutely delicious. Once I started eating, I couldn't stop. That thing was gone in about 10 minutes and I enjoyed every bite. The guy who helped us was really nice too!“

“Rarely leave reviews but visiting from NYC and very impressed w/ the quality. I’m pretty picky w/ my coffee and this is a great choice in the area. They even use coffee ice cubes to keep the drinks from diluting… Highly recommend“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“Try their Sandwhich. It is sooo delicious. We enjoyed the food. Very clean and it is very cozy. Loved the ambiance. And the owner is very friendly. I will recommend this place to everyone that want to enjoy getting together with close friends. Mom and daughter bonding will be a fun place to go. Hope to go back again soon.“

“Went late one evening right before closing and needed a pick me up and got an iced cafe de olla latte. It was delicious. I was there for about 10 minutes talking with the barista and she was so nice and knowledgeable about their business. Let me try some of the cream soda which is A+ made in house child nostalgia. Need to bring my mom back there with me.“

“Amazing little family run shop. They have smoothies and bagels, lots of coffee options and tons of great supplements like mushrooms, turmeric, etc.
cute seating areas, though not too large. Great patio too.
Highly recommend!“

“great service. fun yummy food and reasonable prices. go !“

“For 20 years, after we have a family get together. Its been a tradition that we all have breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe before we all part ways. It’s always clean, the food is always delicious and the service has always been wonderful. It is truly a special establishment!“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Knottea Cafe on our interview date. As someone who willingly admits that she’s not the biggest fan of boba teas, I fully admit that I sometimes forget that boba shops do in fact carry other types of drinks. Knottea Cafe in Stanton, CA is exactly one of those shops that makes sure to have a decent variety of beverages to meet any visitor’s needs. They have everything from milk teas to smoothies to a build your own favor option, and of course, they have some wonderful coffee options for the bean lovers out there. A mere ten minutes away from Knott’s Berry Farm and twenty minutes from Disneyland Park, Knottea Cafe is a great pitstop on your way for a fun day at the amusement park.“

“Really nice place, coconut matcha cloud is sweet and really good, matcha ruby cookie tastes well too.
Triple chocolate cookie is not sweet.
Space is really small but friendly to go by yourself or 1 more person.
Price is fair.“

“This place always has a line so
I had to check it out!

I must say I am a fan of their matcha! 🍵
I like how they offer different matcha drinks to choose from. I’ve only had one so far but will be back to try others to find my favorite!

The interior is clean and airy. The service is pretty quick given the amount of drinks they pump out! Very impressive!“

“Hello from Germany! It was the best breakfast in the last 10 days! Thank u!“

“Visited this place randomly after finding out they had Hojicha. I ordered the Hojicha (was perfect and nutty) and a banana nut bread (warm, with a plate and perfect banana to nut ratio). Stayed for a bit to do some work on the laptop. Their merch is hella cool and they have super cute stickers. Visiting from NYC but will come back again!!“

“Everything nice people good coffee“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“Excellent service & high quality ingredients in my omelette such as red bell peppers!“

“We just ate at the San Juan Capistrano restaurant and it was amazing. Staff is warm friendly and the food was on point! We came for dinner and my steak was done perfectly. My husband had the Bronzino cooked to perfection. I highly recommend!“

“We came most days during our trip to the area. Highlights were the vegan cookies, seasonal rose cardimon lattes hot, the iced vanilla latte and avocado toast. Friendly and creative staff. Also tried the pistachio chocolate croissant and the sweet scone. Everything was awesome! I wouldn’t order the sweet scone again (wasn’t that sweet) but everything overall was so nice and the service was so pleasant. They are a very nice coffee shop“

“We LOVE George’s for a quick lunch, nice dinner, or catering a party! They have been there for me for all my dining or party needs. They never disappoint. Both the food and the service is outstanding.“

“Satisfacción 🤤💪🏼 got my dessert fix and cool off happy.“

“Sugar Shack Cafe is an absolute treasure! From the moment you step in, the warm and welcoming vibe sets the perfect tone for a delightful dining experience. The menu offers a fantastic variety of breakfast and brunch options, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Their pancakes are incredibly fluffy, and the coffee is perfect every time. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure you feel at home. For an enjoyable meal in a charming setting, Sugar Shack Cafe is a must-visit!“

“Every time I come into 7 Leaves, I always have so many questions about my drink, and the women there are always so kind and patient with me. They take their time explaining the different drinks, and I think I finally got it right now! They are truly wonderful, and I really appreciate how patient and nice they are with me every time I come in.“

“Good food, i got the breakfast sandwich bagel, it was made fresh and tasted really good. I loved the fact that they had a wash bin in the store to wash hands instead of having to go to the restroom. I give the sandwich a solid 8/10. I will definitely be back.“
