    Mission accomplished: matcha cravings satisfied!! We swung by 8 Symphony Coffee for my favorite kind of happiness, ceremonial-grade matcha!! The place was buzzing, but since our order was to-go, we were in and out without much of a wait. Big shoutout to Aron for being friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Customer service like that deserves an extra sprinkle of matcha powder!!! Thank you very matcha!! Then came the first sip. Boom!!!! That ceremonial-grade matcha delivered exactly what it should: bold, earthy, nutty, and gloriously green. No weak, sad matcha pretending to be something it's not. This was the real deal!!! Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the area. Finding legit ceremonial-grade matcha isn't always easy, but 8 Symphony Coffee understood the assignment.

    The service is always great! They have good coffee also but their matcha is just not it for me. They have little cheesecake and please do me a favor and try them! They are amazingggggg

    Tiramisu latte

    I really like the coffee here and have never had a bad experience before, so I was honestly disappointed with my visit today. I walked in with an online pickup order and wasn't greeted or acknowledged by any of the three employees. I stood by the online pickup area for about two minutes while two employees went to the back and another employee stood there on her phone. I eventually moved over to the ordering area, thinking someone would help me, but I was still ignored even though they could clearly see me. I finally had to say, "Excuse me, I have an online pickup order," before anyone helped me. The employee on her phone then looked up and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry," and got my order for me. I completely understand that employees can be "busy", but a simple "Hi, we'll be right with you" would have made a huge difference. I'm sharing this because I genuinely enjoy the coffee here and would hate for other customers to have the same experience. I'm sure the owner has cameras in the shop, so I would definitely recommend checking in on what's happening during shifts. Customer service really matters, and I hope this was just a one-time experience.

    Iced Tiramisu Latte
    Anna K. S.

    I love places that care about how they present their food and drinks. This is one of those places. I didn't get to take a photo of the ladyfinger that comes with the iced tiramisu latte, because it was so good that I chomped it down in 10 seconds. My drink had a cloud cream top and the drink was delicious to the last drop. I've had the chorizo & egg croissant, not my fave. But their chocolate croissant and their bacon cheddar scone was perfect! I've come back a total of three times now, and I live in the west San Fernando Valley for reference. Lucky for me, it's near my sister's house. The service is great, they have ample seating and a good amount of parking. You can work or study here. They also have merch!

    coco matcha

    The foam on this drink was gooood! I like that this is made with harmless harvest coconut water; I truly believe this makes the drink better! The barista was kind and worked efficiently taking orders and making drinks. I should've snapped a pic before I mixed it because of the contrast of colors, but I was too excited to try. There was a lot of parking and it is next to Vinh Loi Tofu, so I also enjoyed some vegan food after. The interior is spacious, but there is not a lot of seating if you plan to stay & work. I will definitely be back!

    Strawberry matcha

    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

    Very spacious inside! We went with the tiramisu coffee & strawberry matcha and for our first times at this place, we were very impressed! Very tasty and would love to try more drinks at this place!

    Blueberry Matcha Latte and Tiramisu Cloud Latte
    Ana T.

    This is a really great coffee spot. It's spacious, and service was great. There are some tables and chairs to sit and chat with friends. We ordered the Blueberry Matcha Latte and Tiramisu Cloud Latte. Both drinks were really good.

    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

    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.

    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.

As a ex Italian barista, this was pulled from a previously used and dead shot. The color and even the flavor did not even resemble a Brazilian/Sumatra blend. Unacceptable, disgusting, and just a plain waste of my time and money. Shame on the women baristas there who were working the machines to do this. I wanted to give this place a try while I was in the area since we have one in Garden Grove. Unfortunately that was a mistake, but fortunately I know not to visit the GG one also.
