10 Best Cafes in Garden Grove

“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!“

“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.“

“Moongoat is simply the best coffee shop in Orange County. It might even be one of the best coffee shops in Southern California and California as a whole.Nothing beats the atmosphere of the coffee shop, the service and the quality of the coffee“

“This place has so much potential. There's a few business hiccups that drives away it's customers such as the 5$ minimum to use credit cards, and it's refusal for Amex credit cards, understandably of course. Compared to a few other chains/businesses, this place does almost everything right. The food and drinks are great! The ambience, studious as ever, with a respectively quiet staff. However, I do wish for a more "relaxing" type of music genre to compliment the ambience. It is quite spacious, well ventilated and air cooled. To elaborate on the ventilation, the smell of food coming from other customers is almost non-existent. The seats are embracing and comfortable, and the lighting is gentle and easy on the eyes. This place would be a 5/5 if it opened until midnight!“

“We order a cookie & cream smoothie and the almond milk tea. The drinks are not too sweet and pretty nice. I usually drink sweeter cookie& cream at other place but this place provide a good level of sweet. I personally don't like the almond but my brother really likes it. It's a small place and I think they offer seats. Pretty good, worth a chance trying these drinks. They also offer 1 drinks if u order 9 drinks.“

“4 stars, because its a little bit messy (the ice cream) and that uses a lot of napkins. Still really good though. When i asked for the funny fish guy on the menu they did bring the funny fish guy, so service is very good. Also winnie the pooh is painted on the walls.“

“This review is only for their coffee. They've become my weekly ritual for their Vietnamese coffee and specialty coffee like durian puree coffee! The coffee is fragrant and slightly bold. If you're with a friend, the value is great at buy 2 get 1 free. It's unfortunate they're located next to the door to QT Plaza where the smokers are, but just order to-go and you're good! They're friendly to you if you're friendly to them as well!“

“Enjoyed this boba place! Not gonna lie, I am a fan of rubber ducks and I initially learned about this spot from IG. I drove here because I wanted the cute little rubber duckie that comes with every drink. However I was actually impressed with the quality of the drinks, the ambience of the sunny cafe, and the value. I had a jasmine green milk tea with boba. It was made to my specifications (less sweet) and flavors were great. In addition to including an adorable duckie, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the prices were actually very fair and more affordable than many other boba places out there, even with the bonus duck!The cafe itself is quite cute, with little ducks featured in the sunny decor. There's even a couch with a giant plush teddy bear and goose. Decent seating and some outlets available. Will be back!“

“Guys I decided to be the first risk taker and tried the coconut SLUSH to leave those curious the answers they might want, and well? Rather than the slushy texture I was expecting from coconut water, I got a thick milk blended paste that tasted like a heaping scoop of creme was tossed in the blender. It was okay in my opinion, but it also reminded me of a whey protein milk smoothie, hehe. Nonetheless, good customer service! I'll stick with my standard winter melon or taro smoothie here.“

“We ordered take out for lunch from Hoa Sen. We tried their fried soy fish with ginger sauce, stir fried yellow noodles (with chicken and vegetables), rice with veg spare ribs and bbq pork, and a chicken congee with mushrooms. Total came out to $54 which is typical for veg food. The stand out for me was the congee. It is hard to find vegetarian congee that isn't just bland. This one had pieces of chicken and mushrooms and it was so good. The noodles were also great. I like that we got a variety of vegetarian meats. It was a very satisfying meal.“
