7 Best Cafes near Artesia

“My friend took me here for a nice coffee date on a rainy President Day Monday! This location is gorgeous and just the vibe we wanted to chismar and enjoy some hot beverages and pastries! I got a Bai Mu Dan tea with a side of honey and a crossiant! Both were delicious! Barnstable were friendly, and even though the one taking my order was stumped on which tea tasted like what, we had a good laugh about it and what they ended up reccomending was brilliant! Highly reccomend if you're in the neighborhood, stop here!“

“I had just landed from LAX and knew I wasn't going to survive the drive back home without food. I had heard about Bopomofo and had always wanted to try it, but never managed to make it out to the SGV. Luckily the Artesia location was on my drive home! Now I'm not a SoCal native but I'm able to distinguish an average boba spot from an above average one. I tried the guava matcha latte (Ba-La matcha) at 25% sweet and man it so tasty. They use ceremonial grade matcha which I think does make a difference (a little less bitter and more smooth). The boba was just *slightly* overcooked, but the drink itself was so good that I looked past it. What puts this boba spot above the rest, is the food. I ordered the honey walnut shrimp burger with a side of the veggie mapo tofu tots. Now I haven't been impressed by a meal from a fast-casual restaurant like this in so long. The patty was juicy and had big chunks of shrimp, but was still so light and crispy. The walnuts weren't in the patty, but rather a thin layer on top. I actually preferred this bc I'm not a huge fan of nuts, but I think it was a smart addition to add some texture variation. The sauce is a honey, wasabi, and yuzu mixture. I'm not usually a fan of wasabi but it's pretty understated and everything else was so well done, I didn't mind. It's all served on a toasted Kings Hawaiian bun which is already delicious on its own. Almost equally as impressive are the mapo tots. Tons of flavor, a decent amount of spice, and so much crunch! What more could you want in tater tots? I got the vegetarian version bc they typically have ground pork. I also saw that there's a vegan version. As with everything these days, their prices are kind of steep. My entire meal was $30+ tip, so be prepared to pay more than your average popcorn chicken and boba snack. But trust me, it's worth it. I know this place has a lot of hype bc of its connections to the AAPI Hollywood scene, but I think it deserves it if not for the food alone.“

“Haven't been to a taste tea cafe in a long time Located in a parking lot - looks to be order to go only as the seating and entrance area is blocked off For the online order aspect only - easy to use site but I did notice somethings on their menu was not available online Also there is a .99 fee when placing the order online. The physical menu shows the item order actually cheaper than what is posted on their website. Order place for pork and bamboo meal - menu shows 15.99 and online shows 17.59... The owner did reach out to communicate when placing an order to either call in or simply order in person as it is a 3rd party site utilize to placing orders.. so an FYI For the food! (Also note when placing the order online pickup time will literally be close to the minute stated on order) Boba, teas, meals, and appetizer - large variety !!! Food was piping hot Well package Pork stew and bamboo shoot - tender, meaty, great ratio of meat and fat, fat was tender and not overwhelming Bamboo shoot crunchy goodness! Came with hot fluffy rice, broccoli, eggplant and garlicky potato side, and a dessert item? Easily shareable! Leftover yes or very sizable meal to consume! Will return! 2-3 chairs outside to sit. Appears to be very minimal folks working so just be patient as the gentleman see was making drinks, getting food prep, and handling orders. Thanks for the tasty treat to self!“

“I just visited recently again. Everything was great. I really enjoyed the hibiscus calamansi. I couldn't stop thinking about it after I finished the drink & the worker at the register definitely knows awesome customer service. I also appreciate that they can adjust the sweetness level. My only request is they make the location larger to accommodate anyone needing to do work on the laptop or larger groups of people.“

“Everything nice people good coffee“

“We've been coming here for years and nothing much has changed....and that's a GOOD thing! The boba drinks,etc are still the best in town! Nothing fancy about the place. But the bobas and the customer service is what keeps us coming back! Thank you for always treating us like friends and making your store a staple in town! Please support local owners!“

“I love the Thai Tea and Jasmine Milk Tea. I've noticed the last two times that I've been here that the service in the drive through has been really slow (25 mins). Lots of tables to study inside but pretty busy on the weekends and evenings.“
