    From the street. 6/20/26

    Was in the neighborhood to meet up w/friends. Located on Crescent Ave + San Simeon in a residential area of Buena Park. Their landlord is a church so it's on a church property w/easy and plentiful parking. Was warmly welcomed by Courtney. Vibe is welcoming w/music, plants and Snoopy art on the wall. The strawberry matcha drink seems popular on the reviews but the Winnie the Pooh latté caught my attention w/the cinnamon, honey and teddy graham crackers. Chose almond milk as my base. Delicious! Ham and cheese croissant was good. Had these items in a glass and plate. Courtney brought these items over to me. At first it was just myself and a few customers in but, they were bustling shortly after 11 am. This coffee shop supports global initiatives. I was just visiting this area in OC. In my neck of the woods, it is similar to Corridor Flow in the South Bay. If in this part of OC again, I would return.

    I love 1040 coffee! Always decent parking, great atmosphere and amazing events! The service is amazing and the people are so kind. Truly an amazing place to do quiet time, meet with friends or complete some work. My favorite are their maple sea salt matcha or Winnie-the-Pooh latte. Both delicious and keep me coming back. Their merch is super cute and they host events usually every month! I love keeping up with their Instagram @1040coffeeshop

    Finally made a stop over to 1040 Coffee. Such a cute and cozy coffee shop located onsite at a Church. I ordered the Maple Sea Salt Matcha and it was tasty! The staff was super friendly and helped me decide what to order. I'll definitely be back to try more items.

    I went looking for this place and did not expect it to be next to a church so be on the lookout for that! The space is really cute and the staff was really friendly. I tried the Banana coffee and they used real bananas unlike many places that use syrups. I could taste the difference and I've been thinking about this drink ever since. I went back the next day just to find out it was only a weekend special so be advised you can't order it during the week! The next time I went I got the Teddy Graham with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso. The teddy graham crackers at the top were a nice touch but that drink was not nearly as good. I look forward to trying more of the menu!

    Needed coffee before our drive to Arizona and found this little place inside a church. It's super cute inside! Love their decorations and the barista was super friendly and helpful with our drink choices. Best part is their proceeds go to help a charity so def worth buying here when you see that. I love helping a small business's and a charity too? That's a bonus! Their coffee is pretty good too! And I love how it's nice and quiet there so you can relax without all the noise.

    1. The latter was deliciously cute! I love the little bear cookies on top! 2. The spot has casual cozy vibes! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! 4. The staff was extremely friendly for first-timers! 5. Parking lot is at a church! Note: I didn't see a customer restroom available in the room, but there might be a restroom available inside the church! Photo: Sweet Danish and Winnie the Pooh Latte

    Winnie the Pooh latte and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cold brew

    First time here! Found this spot just at random when looking for a nearby new spot to try. Coffees were both delicious. Had a banana muffin and even though there were no nuts inside it was still delicious. Service was super friendly! And the place was clean and cute! We will definitely come back!

    Small coffee place inside a church. Conducive to studying or small gathering. Owner is nice and explains things well. Nice to see some of the proceeds go to missions. Must have patience to wait as only on person there making the drinks. Overall quality is not bad. Feels homey. Like the fact that drinks are not overly sweet. Would recommend if anyone in the area.

    Woodland latte
    Dan P.

    Woodland latte - strong mocha flavor, I could definitely taste their house made chocolate. Matcha cream added extra sweetness and creaminess to drink. Overall, drink was perfectly sweet, not overpowering. SO good, it is a seasonal drink available in summer but definitely recommend. My friend described it as an iced hot chocolate! Despite only one worker, service was quick and friendly! Lots of seating available, great study place with tables and outlet options. Located inside a church, lots of parking available.

    Yuzu lemonade and best coast latte

    This is my go-to Saturday coffee shop. It's mostly quiet so it's a good space to study with plenty of space and nice ambient music. It recently changed management so the prices went up but the prices are average for a coffee shop. I love their sea salt caramel latte. The Winnie the Pooh latte is also good, and the batch brews are also great.

    Soaking in some major alone time before all of the holiday festivities begin with a fully caffeinated iced oat latte. (Where are all my introverts at?) Found this gem of a coffeeshop tucked away within a church. Had the pleasure of meeting Anastasia and learned they've been open since March. Excited to continue stopping by here when I need to take a very short break from mommy duties.

    Coloring books
    Andrea B.

    I got here just 15 minutes after opening and there was only one person ahead of me. The young lady that attended me was very warm and welcoming. Her customer service was genuine. I had my two year old daughter with me and she offered us a coloring book and markers (which just so happens to be her current hobby). I ordered the Winnie the Pooh latte. The inside is very neat and clean. The vibe is very serene. I received my drink quickly and we sat down to color Spiderman lol. There was at least four more people that came in afterwards so I'd say they have pretty good loyal customers. The drink was fantastic. You can taste the honey but it isn't overwhelmingly sweet, which I really liked. The presentation is so cute. I think I chugged my drink because it was literally that good. I even considered getting a second one. I highly recommend coming here. The place is very nice on every aspect. They also have cute picnic tables outside with huge umbrellas. I loved it overall.

    Hello! I'd love to check out the coffee shop and was wondering what kind of food and or pasties are offered so that I can enjoy my iced coffee while my daughter can enjoy something to eat. What is there for food and or pastries?

    Hey Theresa! They have pretty standard coffee shop pastries. Danishes, croissants, rolls things like that. They are pretty good though.

The matcha flavor came through really well, and it had a good balance of sweetness without overpowering the matcha itself. I also tried the Dubai Chewy Cookie because I was curious about the flavor. It was good and definitely fun to try, but personally, I don't think I would pay $8 for it again. For the price, I was expecting a little more from it.

I know banana isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea because it has such a distinct flavor, but I really love how they construct this drink. You can genuinely taste the banana, and I love that it seems like they use real banana rather than that artificial banana flavor you get at some other cafés. It makes such a difference! I've also tried their coffee, and it's really good! Their coffee has a nice, strong flavor and doesn't taste watered down at all. I feel like they're probably more known for their matcha, but their coffee definitely deserves some love too. I've tried matcha from a lot of different places, including spots in LA, and while everyone has their own preferences, if you're in the Orange County area, I would definitely recommend giving Coffee & a try. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, this is one of my favorite cafés. It has that cute little hole-in-the-wall feeling where you find a place that you just want to keep coming back to. The service is also amazing! Everyone I've interacted with has been super nice and welcoming, which honestly makes the experience even better. As for the pastries, they're really good too! They'll warm them up for you, and they have the cutest cookies that look like little cartoon characters. They sometimes have seasonal cookies as well, which I think is such a cute touch. Overall, I really love how much personality this café has. If you're a matcha lover in OC, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!

Food quality: N/A Price worth it: 5 It's becoming more and more commonplace with our coffee orders that we're paying about $9 a drink with our modifications.

We felt uncomfortable with the staring and the overall lack of warmth, and after standing there for a while, we decided to leave. What made it especially disappointing is that we are both minorities and genuinely wanted to support a new minority-owned business in the neighborhood. Instead, we walked away feeling completely unwelcome. Before leaving, I brought the experience up to someone who worked there, and the only response I received was, "I'm so sorry." There was no attempt to understand what happened or make us feel differently about the experience. It's really unfortunate that in 2026, people can still walk into a business and feel unwelcome because of the way they are treated. Customer service and simply acknowledging people who walk through your door should be the bare minimum. I really wanted to support this new neighborhood business, but unfortunately, I'll stick with places like Smoking Tiger where we have always felt welcomed and treated with kindness.

But when the lowest suggested tip starts above and beyond a "normal" amount, it feels less like a suggestion and more like pressure. At 35%, I half expected someone to be outside washing my car while my espresso was pulling. I'd definitely recommend this place for the coffee and pastries. I just hope they reconsider the default tip suggestions. I think that small change would make the experience as enjoyable at the register as it is everywhere else.

Although they confirmed that…read morethey no longer have a bday promo, I got their in-app purchase of a Tiger Latte as well (my friend enjoyed it made less sweet, and I like that the default is made with oat milk). When you get the app, you can also get $5 automatically applied to your first app purchase. If you ever signed up for their rewards program before downloading the app, they import your points from your phone number account :). My only mild complaint is that the timed order- for-later request did not seem to make too big a difference, as my drink was probably ready 25 minutes early. Better early than late, though! Staff were friendly and informative as always. Shop had a few customers seated inside and outside, so there was plenty of room to study or sit a while. It was a bit cold for me, so probably a good place if you want some strong AC. Music seemed like a millenial-pleasing alternative-y mix: good for nondistracting background sound. Honey Bori Latte is one of my favorite seasonals anywhere! Loved it as intended at full sweetness (not too sweet) and still loved it at less sweet (recommend if enjoying with a bread or pastry imo). I like most specialty barley drinks. Default is dairy, so I assume there would still be some even if made with oat milk ($1 extra). I love the crunchy wheat snack topping, and it kind of reminds me of the cocoa puff topping in that black caf latte in Dland/Galaxy's edge. Will be back!

Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly frustrating. We were told the…read morewait for our soufflé pancakes would be around 20 minutes, which seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.

Usually I'm a sipper, but today my drink was gone in about 10 minutes because of how delicious and refreshing it was on this hot day. Just a heads up though--this is not a Masala chai with spices like cardamom. This chai is more of a sweet creamy cinnamon chai. Definitely recommend. Service 10/10 Friendly, pleasant, and helpful service. Ambiance 9/10 Clean and minimal design. On a Friday early, there was only 2-3 customers studying or reading. Great place to study with good free wifi, outlets, and a bathroom. There's also plenty of parking and lots of restaurants and eateries walking distance. I've gone to the Coffee Code in Fullerton, but it's always quite crowded when I've gone and I've struggled to find a table. Already planning to go back to this location in Buena Park.

    I visited the Buena Park location and had a great experience…read more One thing that really stands out is that the ice cubes are made from coffee, so even as the ice melts, the coffee never gets watered down. The Iced Vanilla Latte was excellent! rich and flavorful, yet clean and smooth without being overly heavy or creamy. The waffle was also delicious, topped with fresh fruit and ice cream, making it a perfect treat to share or enjoy as dessert. The service was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I'll definitely be coming back for another Iced Vanilla Latte.
