So cute! I loved the vibe, friendly service, drink variety, and yummy taste…read more The cafe looks well-kept and clean. There's customers studying and relaxing music. The decor is cute and welcoming. I was greeted when I walked in and experienced great service from the workers. Looking at the menu, there's plenty of great options. Some interesting sounding ones were Popcorn Latte and Tiramisu Biscoff Latte. There's also a bunch of yummy matcha options. I ended up getting a small Thai tea with boba (50% sweet). I really enjoyed the Thai tea and I don't have much of a sweet tooth so it was nice to have that customization option. I will also note that the boba was great. It was cooked perfectly. Not too hard and not too soft! Overall 5/5 stars :)

On 5/3/2026 around 2:59 PM, we visited A Tea Thing and unfortunately, the experience was very…read moredisappointing. When we arrived, it was busy, so we sat and waited for the line to go down. Once there were only two parties left, we got in line. When we finally reached the counter, the clerk took a phone order instead of helping us. We were then told to scan a QR code to place our order because they needed to focus on making drinks. After waiting in line, this was frustrating and felt very disorganized. Overall, the customer service was the worst part of the experience. It felt like in-person customers were not a priority at all. This was my first time at this spot, and it left a bad impression. I don't think I will be returning.

First impressions, place is bright, clean, and staff is friendly and on top of things. Wasn't sure…read morewhat to expect here, as I usually see a line out the door to this place sometimes. The place is pretty bare bones when it comes to decor, I'm talking only 1 small framed poster in the corner of the restaurant and the large shared wall has nothing on it. Food, I ordered the matcha pistachio latte. It came out quick, they have about 3 baristas working the coffee while they have one cashier. My drink looked great and tastes fantastic, I am a big fan of matcha and pistachio so this was nice. The drink is surprisingly THICK, so I have to take my time with it. It's very heavily matcha flavored with bits of crumbled pistachio on top of it. It's very good, however the only thing I'd have to warn about is that this drink, which is about the size of a Starbucks iced grande, cost $8.50. So it's a bit pricy for a standard drink, but it's the most expensive one on their menu (I believe). They have standard coffee, lattes, etc plus pastries that they can warm up as well. Overall it's nice, definitely a place to check out and try

Love this coffee shop that is super close to my office…read more The Einspiener drinks are amazing. I usually choose plain black coffee whether cold brew or americano but that heavy cream on top is a nice add! My current favorite is the Einspiener Latte. Definitely a strong 9/10

Everything positive they say about this place is true. The iced mate + guava puree is my new…read morefavorite drink on a hot day. I don't like mate on its own but with fruit it's a smoky complex iced tea that's a delight with the caffeine I need to get my day going. The caffeine from mate feels better than coffee for me--I recommend trying this out if you're used to getting Starbucks or other coffee regularly! They will customize your drink to your liking. Also I love learning and getting a piece of Argentina here in the Valley. You can get that here with empanadas and other snacks. Service is so great that I'm reminded why we support local businesses and reminded what community means. I tip what I can and plan to support by coming back here. A comfy couch area plus tables for studying and working, catching up with friends, eating. And outdoor seating too. Lots of parking bc the Valley. And they have a punch card for frequent visits!

My husband got the Vanilla Latte and said it was blended well and not too sweet (which is high praise from him). Consistent drinks, friendly enough service. Will happily come back for a third round.

I had the Blue Shirley Temple and it was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed. They have board games. Arcade games. They have an outdoor patio that is a vibe. It is just a really nice area. Parking could be tricky BUT they are open later in the day so you can luck out with the parking as it is on a main street. The staff and the owners were super kind. I came here with my friend and he is there about daily so they knew him and knew what to order for me. Great space and great drinks. There's also a ton of health benefits in Kava.

This is my neighborhood specialty coffee spot with amazing lunch and breakfast…read more I have a hard time deciding what to eat when I get here: The chilaquiles. The kids breakfast. The arugula egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. The turkey Sammich on a pretzel bun, basically everything here is delicious. I'm not a huge fan of the mocha is my only gripe here but the butterscotch latte is fine for the sweet tooth. If you have dairy concerns, they got all plenty of alternative options. The espresso is proper, the workers are kind, the interior is clean and not cluttered. The prices are fair and the pastries are delicious. This is a great cafe to go have a casual lunch or breakfast at and it will hit all the marks to satisfy one's soul. Thanks for existing near me, I wish it was open later but it's understandable why coffee places don't stay open for dinner. Call ahead or use the website to order if you're in a hurry, they have a pickup window for that! Also you get cash app points here too!

My husband and I have been here many times after our weekly walk at Lake Balboa Park, and treating ourselves to one of their hot or iced coffees has become our favorite weekend tradition. It's the perfect way to end the weekend and unwind. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

Came here to try a Filipino coffee shop with my husband, and it was a bit of a mixed experience…read more Drinks: I ordered the Caramel Pecan latte and really enjoyed it, it wasn't too sweet, just the way I like it. My husband got the Tiramisu latte and said it was on the lighter side, so if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, keep that in mind. Food: I had the Tapsilog, and the flavor was good. My only complaint is the serving of rice was on the smaller side, and if you're Filipino, you know rice is life. Could definitely use a bit more. My husband ordered the Longanisa burrito, and honestly, he wouldn't recommend getting it as a burrito. It was messy to eat and the flavor just didn't come together well. Overall, I'd come back for coffee and maybe try a different breakfast plate next time.

We tried the: Cookie butter einspanner - a bit sweet and a little grainy from the cookie butter but tasty Macadamia whipped coffee - also sweet, seemed to have a chocolate syrup drizzled in, didn't taste much like macadamia nut, but it was delicious Mango pineapple refresher - sweet, fruity and sparkling Overall, the drinks all tasted pretty good but they were on the sweeter side. I'm in this area often so I can definitely see myself coming back to try out some of their other drinks because they have a lot of options :)
