“My family and I are visiting California from Hawaii, and we wanted to find a coffee place near our hotel so I told them we should try this place. We got the hot chocolate, cafe latte, salted caramel latte, oreo latte, and croffles. Everything was carefully curated and tasted really good. Definitely will come here again during our stay!“
“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!“
“Really fun ! The double 07 was so yummalish perfect sweetness. We also tried the lavender latte and it was good but the oavender was a little strong I rec doing half sweet. The matcha is good but not incredible. The vibe is the best el música fue divertido and todo es tan bonitaaaa I love the vibe“
“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.“
“This is the holy grail of oc mini malls: a class third wave coffee spot next door to a great local doughnut spot (goody's). Having an Americano from here with a goody's doughnut costs you like five bucks and is the most heavenly coffee/doughnut combo I've experienced in my whole entire life (and half a decade of active searching in all parts of California.Vegetarian options: YepDietary restrictions: CoffeeParking: Shopping center lot.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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 had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ron, at a nonprofit event where Teofilo had a booth. While I initially was drawn in by the aroma, I lingered to hear the story of his business and the history of Filipino coffee, which added depth to the experience. The bold, unique flavor of their coffee sets them apart from chain coffee shops, leaving a memorable impression that ensures future visits whenever I'm in the area. Teofilo is not just a coffee shop; it's a cultural journey with each sip.“
“came here on a saturday & it was exceptional !it's small but wasn't too busy, which worked out ! Everyone is really friendly, and the pastries were delicious.I got a Honey Oat Latte price of $6it had a perfect balance of sweet & strong ! 10/10my friend ordered a Burnt Carmel Latteprice of $5.50tried it and it was good ! Probably a little bit stronger but still good !Don't know the pastry names, but they were phenomenal 10000/10the vibe is everything !Coming back for sure ! ♡“
“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.“
“A nice place to come get strong, aromatic Vietnamese coffee. The place is fancy and well decorated. Staff are friendly and tables are clean and inviting. I love their classic Vietnamese Coffee. It is strong so be sure to let the ice melt a little so it's not too strong or bitter. I will definitely come back here to get some more coffee drinks. The plaza has adequate parking and not too crowded.“
“Great place to study and good food/drinks. The hot chocolate was superb and the even have a cute little loft upstairs.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, no automatic door buttons for bathroom/entry. But the side door is wide open and the bathroom is huge.“
“I went as part of the Elite Event and was graciously gifted a bag of coffee and a free coffee beverage of my choice. I also wanted to have something sweet to go along with it. I asked for something not super sweet though... and staff recommended the flowerless chocolate cake which I already had an eye on. The chocolate cake was moist and deliciously chocolaty. In combination with the relaxed view of the Marina I had a great afternoon coffee time!“
“Don't know how i've never reviewed this place before. But theres not much to say except its awesome. I love this whole place and their mission statement. The drinks are superb especially the sensory latte! Also, the bagels are huge and so good! I even asked them where they got them from. Prices are reasonable and both locations are amazing. Only problem is that theres not enough parking here for how many customers they got!!!“
“It was certainly weird coming here having worked at the coffee bean it used to be! I got the Spanish latte (condensed milk and cinnamon) with an extra shot which was great. The baristas were super friendly. My only thing is the all white decor - I'm not a minimalist by any means so not a fan. I love a little flare, a little razzle dazzle if you will. Would definitely still go back to try other drinks!“
“It's cute, simple and minimalist. The service was great and they do not carry themselves like other pretentious coffee shops like GoodTime or recreational coffee claiming to be diverse. The coffee is great and their donuts are also good. I usually come here to study and it's low key. Come out sometime!“
“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.“
“if you're coming here to just do work, I recommend it for sure !A lot of space & just a quiet place to chill & catch up with work!Got a vanilla lattePrice 6.25 & w/ oat milk 1 dollar Chocolate lattePrice 6.251 guava pop tartePrice 6 dollarslove the space & just the whole ambiance for sure ! coming back !“
“It's nice to see third wave coffee spreading into the deepest recesses of Orange County. Twas not too long ago when all you could find along this stretch of freeway was Starbucks and Donut spots, which, I may add, always have terrible coffee so some reason. Anyway, my cappuccino was perfect, the decor is millennial minimalism coffee shop style. Not sure I would ever have cause to take a meeting or hang out here but I would.“
“What a cool coffee shop. I really enjoyed the caramel latte hot with whole milk. So delicious. I also purchased some whole bean dark roast coffee and can’t wait to grind a cup. The breakwater dark roast says it is local. And that they roast to accentuate sweetness, draw out nuances and orchestrate the unique range of acidities. To create a dialogue from farmers,roasters, baristas and consumers. Kinda neat approach. Try them out. Enjoy.“
“The staff is very friendly, helpful, and quick with drinks. They're ready with a smile, which is always appreciated so early in the morning. My only complaint is that the croissants aren't flaky, but that's getting really nitpicky. I adore this place; the flat white is my go-to.Dietary restrictions: They have a ton of milk substitutions; there's an entire list of whole milk substitutions next to the counter. I never knew so many existed!“

“Great coffee at the Bellflower location and at home. Bought a bag of their coffee to make at home and it was fantastic. Location at SteelCraft Bellflower is great, one barrista in particular always makes the coffee spot on perfect! Overall, great place. Props to the barristas who are mostly running shifts solo in the mornings and make it happen for customers.“
“Went last week for the first time, and it was a cute and small area to do homework in. I got a vanilla iced latte and it was good, but the syrup was very sugary (in my opinion) which threw off the taste a little bit. But it was still a decent drink and good spot to go to!!“
