There is a dissembling nature about the store front of Chai Master. The parking lot is small and…read morebusy, and the plaza itself seems a bit rundown. Being on the corner of a busy intersection doesn't help you feel more comfortable entering or entering this little lot, either. However, upon entry, you'll find a clean, welcoming, and lovely store, full of small tables with little tap lamps on them, nice lighting, and relaxing vibes. I can see this being a popular hanging, studying, or gaming spot! They have some intense pastries on display by the counter! Even my wife's sweet tooth was shy. It would probably be best to share these with a group! We had two drinks from the menu, and we enjoyed the mango matcha. Whatever was on the bottom of the cup was challenging to mix in with the rest of the drink, and it was thick! However, after a few minutes, the drink mellows out and is actually delicious! We do not recommend the apple tea. It tasted like water with a hint of some flavouring. Not worth the cost. Chai Master can be hit or miss, depending on what you order. However, I can see us returning with a group for pastries and card games!

It's nutty, creamy, and quite strong honestly. I'm not usually a mango person, but I really enjoyed their mango matcha latte. I love that all their drinks that have fruit in them use real fruit puree that they make in-house! And don't leave without grabbing one of their pastries! If you love a good soft cookie, definitely get the smores bar or chewy Biscoff mallow cookie. Thanks for reading! ^-^

Ordered the following: Biscoff Latte Matcha Einspanner Strawberry Matcha Latte Lemon Bar Mallow Cookies I personally really liked both the matcha einspanner and the biscoff latte. You can taste the coffee plus that slightly sweetness from the biscoff. Also loved their pastries, really liked the lemon bar and mallow cookies! Overall, Haru Cafe is such a cute spot when you are in a mood for a variety of drinks plus something sweet. Definitely would love to come by again.

Most of the tables are on the low side, but it still works as a good spot for getting some work done. We were happy they let us use our own tumblers too! Parking is easy in the large plaza parking lot. Overall a great spot to grab a drink, catch up, or get some work done!

It was nice to watch the team make the drinks; everything was so neat and intentional. The tables are fairly low but sitting at the bar top was nice, I could stand up when needed. I really appreciated the outlets available. I do agree the music is on the louder side. I spent about 5 hours here working on assignments, uninterrupted, it was really lovely. There is plenty of space for parking. I didn't take any photos except for my matcha, the main character! See you again soon!

From taking my order to getting my drink, service was fast. Plenty of seating and outdoor parking available-- perfect for studying or doing work. I've gone to this location several times for matcha and decided to try one of their fall seasonal specials this time-- a carrot cake latte with cream cheese cream top. I'm so glad that the barista recommended this drink because it was the literal definition of fall. The latte had a great subtle taste of carrot cake with a hint of a spices. I like how the sweetness wasn't too overwhelming with the perfect balance of espresso. I also got the ube cookie with a white chocolate pretzel on top of it-- it had a soft texture and a subtle taste of ube. I've also tried their oreo mallow cookie before and it was good too. Overall, aesthetic and tasty, would recommend!

I'm so over the coffee shops that put banana and it's something that tastes so artificial. So this was perfect. Service, everyone was super sweet & it was nice & quiet. Good to like study, but also welcoming enough (it feels so cozy and homey) on the sides to meet up w a friend. The 1 star review below made me sooo sad. I didn't know management changed (manager? but owners could be the same fyi) but even if it did, the new ones can still be family friendly & they are still a small owned business. It's not like corporate bought them out lol. I will be honest the last set up had a lot of options, and I believe this nice & curated menu made it less stressful to pick a good drink. If any drinks are bitter, Im sure if you'd ask nicely (the customer service was good) I'm sure they'll make an attempt to rectify. Can't speak to that since MINE WAS PERFECT but it's still a small business. He even asked me if there's anything I'd like to change with a smile. I'll be back soon for the banana matcha! cheers.

Arc, you continue to blow my mind…read more An iced latte and thrifting is #1 on my weekend task list. Since estate dales pop off in Buena Park this coffee shop has become a repeat on the weekend rotation. I recently tried their banana bread latte for the first time. This is not only banana flavored, but also has light pieces of graham cracker. There's no better way to describe this drink than a visual of my brain blowing - if only Yelp allowed emojis. I've found that a great quality flavored latte can be hard to come by. I like my morning beverages to be heavy on the caffeine - both in dosage and flavor. Arc has done a tremendous job of balancing the two. I've also tried their espresso tonic (insane) and their traditional matcha. Easily a top coffee shop in Orange County!

The setting inside this location was a bit dark & it had a rotten fruit odor! I thought the smoothie I ordered would make up for it. Sad to say, this place does NOT use fresh fruits/ingredients. I can definitely taste the excess syrup in the drink + can see they added food coloring to make the colors of the drink pop out more. I wouldn't recommend this place, better off finding another spot if you're looking for refreshing drinks/ fresh fruit options.

We ordered the matzo ball soup, hot pastrami on sourdough, and a key lime pie tart--and everything was delicious. The matzo balls were SO good that I ended up ordering a larger one to take home! The hot pastrami was hands down one of the best I've had--so flavorful, tender, and they give you a generous amount. The bakery is honestly a little overwhelming--in the best way! There are SO many options that you can easily get lost trying to decide what to take home. Thankfully, our server was incredibly nice, kind, and helpful with our selections. We sat on the patio with our dogs, which was perfect. The enclosed roof provided some much-needed shade and helped keep us comfortable in the heat. Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and a fun bakery to explore. We'll definitely be back

Although it appeared busy, my party was seated right away and the host was friendly and welcoming. The menu has many good options from both the breakfast and regular menu. The restaurant seem to have quite a few specialties. I opted for a Reuben sandwich with pastrami. It was filling and delicious. The rye bread was grilled and the cheese was nice and milky. I ordered it with onion rings, which I highly recommend. The person with me had the ribeye steak. At first it looked disappointing because it was on the thinner side, but it turned out to be very tasty. For dessert we had the challah bread pudding, which was very delicious . We were pretty full, but wanted to try other items. So we ordered the matzo ball soup and wings for dinner later on. The soup was simple but really good and really comforting. The wings were meaty and had a nice kick to it. I'm glad we ordered those to go. Overall we were satisfied and would return.
