    Very clean modern coffee shop. There was plenty of parking. The inside had a good amount of seating but it was still pretty full on a Saturday afternoon. Looked like a good place to study or get work done. They have a decent variety of drinks along with pastries. Got a regular matcha latte and a biscoff latte with foam, was very good

    Great atmosphere, with good seating, clean and chill music to listen to. Not too loud if you're working or studying. The employees are friendly and ask your opinion of the drinks. We didn't get any food but the display was clean, well maintained and picture perfect. We did order an iced espresso ($4) which my hubby gave a 7.8 and says the price is worth it. I got the strawberry matcha ($7 and comes with oat milk) and I would order it again. Not super sweet and the matcha is great. Not grainy or too earthy. The strawberry puree is really the only sweetener, so that's why it not super sweet. A suggestion is to make a pineapple matcha. I had one the other day and it was bomb! Made with coconut milk. So like a matcha pina colada. Mmmm

    My girlfriend has been raving about this newer spot, so I finally gave it a try--best decision ever. The interior is a great size with a super cute aesthetic. There's plenty of seating with a mix of table options, making it perfect whether you're coming solo or with a group. They even have a cute little water dispenser, which I loved. Only downside was restroom was a little dirty and no toilet paper Service was friendly and informative, which always makes a difference. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and one pump of sugar-free vanilla, and it was made to perfection. I'm trying not to chug it, but it's that good. They also had a selection of pastries that looked really tempting. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    While in the area, I visited 8th Symphony and picked up a Tiramisu Cloud Latte and a Blueberry Matcha Latte. Both drinks were delicious and I enjoyed that I was able to pick my milk of choice at no additional charge. I also loved the detail of the Ladyfinger given for the Tiramisu. Atmosphere was bright and a good amount of people were working or studying and it was extremely quiet. Bathroom was clean and fresh. Great place to try out if you love coffee and teas!

    Hands down the best coffee spot in the Cerritos area They have the Nami Matcha, which is SO good--definitely a standout. The ambiance is amazing too, super relaxing with great music always playing in the background. It's the perfect place to study, work, or just unwind. They also have a solid selection of food and drinks, and the guava refresher is a MUST try Highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby!

    No matter how many times I do this I still try not to look too weird taking a pic of my drink lol

    I am not from Cerritos so i am going off of the other comparable coffee shop I have tried. Went to Holos Coffee yesterday to study and have to be in the area for several hours today for the same, and wanted to try another coffee place. This is also in a strip mall. At 10:30 it is still pretty empty but still enough parties here (approx 6) --to take up basically all the available outlets that I can see here, which runs counter to what another reviewer said about this place having soooo many outlets for laptops. Ordered a hot mocha ganache and it automatically comes in the lidded plastic cup so no differentiation between drinking here or to go, depending on whether you like that or not. Where I had to get a jacket from the car at the other place, it's a little warm in here, which is fine by me, depending on when they decide to the ac on (once it got warm i noticed they turned up ac). The space is bigger so while there appear to be fewer seating areas, you have a little more personal space than at Holos, which I can appreciate. Someone remarked that they couldnt study with the music but while both have the same kind of music, I don't have people yapping right night to my ears, so it's not as distracting at 8th. I know you can't totally tune out everything but I definitely don't want to hear people's conversations crystal clear as I can at holos. Here you have more space. I can put my arm out and not necessarily be able to punch someone lol Aesthetically, this place has more to offer with the windows giving more natural light overall than only simply affecting those sitting closest to the windows. Given the square footage here compared to the other, sound flows better so that you can focus better than where you can hear every damn thing in a smaller space. As for the coffee between both places so far from each of the drinks I've tried they're comparable in taste so I could go either way. Both good options but I would go with 8th if you want more space and/or have a group, come earlier and there should be a spot to accommodate larger parties with more certainty compared to it being more packed at this time at Holos. Planned on waiting for the laptop camper next to me to leave so I can hijack his outlet but this chick swooped out from across the room and jacked the spot before I could slide the 1 foot over to sit there so I guess it's a commodity here for the 6 outlets or so they have. I guess you gotta be prepared to start planting your stuff before the person is even done.

    To be completely honest, I came to this coffee shop for two reasons: 1) they proudly serve Nami Matcha which I've been dying to try based on their reviews and 2) they are a Filipino-owned small business. What better way to support than to come and try their drinks. The shop is located in a relatively large plaza with accessible parking spaces in front. The shop itself was well maintained, clean, and aesthetically pleasing with bright lights and couch or chair options available for customers. The service provided was okay, served us with the appropriate amount of customer service required to take our orders. The coffee and matcha drinks were good, a little on the stronger side of espresso, with not as much sweetness (depending on what you prefer). Overall, I was slightly disappointed with the customer service and creativity in the drinks ~ however, if I'm ever in the area I may want to try it again.

    Got a matcha latte with whole milk and it tasted like water? Not even milky and no taste of matcha. I would not recommend getting their matcha here, it's pricey and basically tastes like nothing.

    Matcha latte and vanilla latte
    Janeva G.

    Ah! I really wanted to love this place. I ordered two different drinks. The vanilla latte was good and creamy. My only let down is that I saw that the shop doesn't have house made syrups! That was such a bummer because it seems like they use nami matcha! The matcha seemed water downed even though I got it with oat milk. I know that if they made house made syrups, the drinks can even be better! Overall, the place was okay. Loved how there was a lot of seats and space to enjoy the drinks and study.

    Iced Matcha Latte, Hojicha Latte, and Double Matcha
    Denise V.

    We were having lunch nearby and stepped into 8th Symphony Coffee because my friends wanted to try @yourmomashley's Nami Matcha, which this café proudly serves (and sells here for $42 a tin). The space itself is bright, open, and clean design and a variety of seating options (we opted for the cozy couch area). Unfortunately, the drinks were a huge letdown. I ordered the Double Matcha with whole milk. It was super creamy but really sweet, with almost no actual matcha flavor. It was green, sure, but tasted more like a dessert than a matcha drink. My friend's hojicha latte was just as disappointing. It didn't taste like hojicha at all, more like a watered-down sweet milk drink with a faint, vague earthy aftertaste, but nothing distinctly hojicha. My other friend ordered an iced matcha latte, which tasted the most matcha-forward of the three, but still wasn't a good matcha. I also ordered a cold brew to-go and while it was good, I definitely think it was on the sweeter side. Disappointing experience, another influencer smokescreen cracked.

    Loved the friendly service, ample parking, and the beautifully decorated interior of this shop. Contrary to the exterior appearance, it's bright and airy inside with lots of seating options. I particularly enjoyed the basque cheesecake! Not too sweet, airy, and just the right amount of bitterness. The strawberry matcha was also not too sweet and complimented my cake perfectly. I think I would want to get them with slightly more sweetness added to it the next time. I also didn't taste or smell much strawberry. Otherwise it was perfect. Looking forward to returning again in the future.

    Iced Latte
    Winn H.

    Good parking with a bold espresso? Ooh this is definitely a hidden gem tucked away in a large plaza! I had their iced latte, and after ordering was delighted to find a spot at a nearby table. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere is clean! And when I say clean, I mean sparkly clean and comfortable to work in - with headphones. The music is definitely interesting; imagine studying and hearing some *explicit* music - yup definitely raised an eyebrow! But other than that, it was a productive time. Highly Recommended: Bring your own music (and earbuds).

    Dranks and snax to go

    My first visit to 8th Symphony was great. The service was friendly and the order was completed quickly. Parking is tight, but this is an excellent place to work or study because it's super quiet inside. The Tiramisu Cloud Latte and Blueberry Matcha Latte were both tasty & refreshing. If you're close to the mall or in the area, 8th Symphony is worth visiting.

    Do you have sugar free syrups?

    We do offer Sugar-Free Vanilla

    Is it dog friendly? As in, can I pop in with my pup to place an order with him next to me then leave after getting it type of dog friendly?

    I would say so. I've seen some people come in and out with their pups after receiving their order. I think so long as they're not disruptive during the visit.

It was so much that we would reach free drink status pretty quickly. I would grab an Ube matcha with oat milk for me and a cold brew latte with a shot of espresso and oat milk for my partner. We both would also order the waffles. It was a great little breakfast on the go. And service was top notch--pleasant and quick. The quality of the drinks was consistently great! Plus ordering it all online made it super convenient. Lately, there appears to be a shift at Homeboy Coffee. My drinks have had issues with them (i.e., no coconut syrup, watered down, wrong milk, less espresso shot than previously). Now, the waffle is not available for purchasing through their online ordering system despite them available in the store. Overall, Homeboys is okay. It isn't what it used to be which is sad especially because i loved it...especially their Ube matcha latte and waffles. I hope this is a temporary shift and that the OG Homeboy comes back.

So glad that they've had it here because I've been going for a while-- even attending one of their grand opening days! This time around, I got the hojicha latte at 75% sweet. Love how roasted and nutty it tasted, but I could've probably gone for 50% sweet as it was still pretty sweet. I have also tried their earl grey cheesecake tea latte, and that was also sweet-- so keep in mind if getting to lessen the sugar too. My go to is their roasted oolong tea latte cause I'm an oolong tea lover and it's made to perfection every time! Service was great. Cashier was able to help me use my 20% off from the blind box cup sleeve I got back in February. I like how they have their CNY chimes above the register, adds a nice touch. We did have to wait 20 minutes for boba, but the cashier also kindly told us that it would take 20 minutes-- we were willing to wait. I would say it was worth it cause the boba was fresh and chewy! Looking forward to trying new drinks the next time I come, especially the White Oolong.

Now I forgot how roomy this place is, It's super clean and a great place for a quiet hang out with friends. It was pretty busy when I came which was around 10 am. The drinks were the most ordered from what I've seen. I ordered my drink and it was actually prepared already but my buzzer never rang. I watched what I thought would be my coffee stay there thinking it may be someone else because my buzzer had no buzzed at all. I finally went up to ask where my coffee is just for them to hand me the coffee and say they are waiting on my bread. What bread? It's literally in the bag that I'm holding. So that kind of annoyed me. But things happen. Service was still good like last time. The garlic and cream cheese bread threw me off. The saltiness of the garlic bread with sweet cream cheese worked really well. However there was a bit too much sweet cream cheese for my liking but a combination that worked. The mochi corn had custard and corn. It was pretty good. Not something I'd be addicted to. But it was good. The sweet potato was disappointing. The sweet potato inside tasted like regular potato. Not very sweet. Overall my experience did get better. I want to try these butter mochi I saw next time I go.
