    Double matcha latte
    Tina N.

    We got the two popular drinks: double matcha latte at 33 percent sweet and cream top biscoff latte (didn't have option to adjust sweetness). They were so good! You can taste the high quality matcha. It was rich and smooth, and the matcha cream top was just perfect. I love matcha but I was surprised to love the cream top biscoff latte more. You can smell and taste the strong double shot espresso. The cream top with biscoff cookie butter was so delicious. Very high quality drinks. This might be my new favorite place for matcha and coffee!

    Walking in, you order from a kiosk. Looks like a nice space to study or do work with their indoor and outdoor space! Very spacious from what I saw. We ordered multiple drinks and we liked what we saw on the menu & the different type of drinks they had! my only knock on them was that the drinks seemed a bit too sweet & I think what could make this place real solid is having an option to adjust the sweetness (50% 25% 0%) - just my opinion!

    Very nice matcha cafe that has a side outdoor patio that is dog friendly! Lots of seats and tables to sit at, some seats have charger, free WiFi, free water, and restrooms, really nice place to work or study or socialize. In the heart of Korean town in Buena Park, with lots of food in the area. Service is prompt and quick, order on an iPad and get the drink right away. Not too sweet either!

    As crowded as this place is, they manage fairly quickly. The service was friendly, attentive Their honey butter with strawberry creme is really an indulgence. Truly so addictive! Had the strawberry, corn, and banana matchas. They are so beautifully done. All very good. Nothing was over-sweet and didn't need adjustment. It's nice to see a pup patio outside

    Iced Double Matcha Latte, 50% sweet-just about perfect!
    Lyane P.

    Coming to Auria is always such a treat! I ordered at the kiosk and the drink came out within 5 minutes. The decor is minimalist with both inside and outside seating. We had 6 in our party and had to split up into 2 tables on a Sunday night. The Iced Double Matcha Latte at 50% sweet is near perfect! Cost was $7.80 but I was able to use some points that I have accumulated for a small discount! I've never had a bad drink here and look forward to coming the next time!

    Matcha einspanner
    Jesse A.

    This place is pretty good, not the best but it was still not bad! I got the matcha einspanner and biscoff matcha. I'd rate the einspanner a 8/10 and biscoff a 6/10! I didn't really like the extra sweet taste of the biscoff. The einspanner could've used more matcha flavor too! The service was pretty good, and it definitely seems like a good place to study! I went late at night and it was still crowded

    Auria coffee has been a consistent go to for me in Buena Park. Their prime location, easy quick ordering and consistently good drinks have made me a regular. The first time I visited I must admit that I went crazy on ordering and almost ordered one of everything. I tried their French toast sticks with matcha and strawberry dip, croffles, double matcha, waffles, coffee einspanner, black sesame latte, cream top, banana matcha, strawberry matcha, regular matcha, dirty matcha and a handful of seasonal items. I would highly recommend the croffle as it's made great for order, with a buttery crispy crust paired with a dip of your choice and any matcha drink, as all have been amazing. Each time I've visited my order has been consistent, quick and delicious. The open floor plan with outdoor seating makes it a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy your drink and snack.

    Turkey cheese croissant
    Michelle B.

    Came in after a very long day looking for some good matcha that I was recommended and hoping for some food. Auria is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking but limited indoor seating (and no outdoor seating). I came in on a late Saturday afternoon and nearly every seat was full, leaving me to sit and eat at the barstool locations by the window. Service was quick and polite. Turkey cheese croissant 3/5, just okay and I probably would have rated this lower if I wasn't intensely hungry at the time of eating. The turkey is unfortunately bland turkey as well as the cheese but the croissant bread is soft and melts in your mouth, I'd opt for their plain or sweet croissants instead! Matcha Einspanner 4/5, very creamy not as matcha-y as other einspanners I've had, not traditionally bitter but not too sweet, overall enjoyable

    Black sesame latte
    Yuri J.

    Fun unique drinks, on the pricier end - the black sesame latte was rec'd and definitely worth it, not too sweet and rich in the nutty flavor. Their matchas (esp the double matcha) seems to be a fan favorite!

    Corn Matcha
    Serina L.

    The corn and the matcha flavors were both distinguishable!!! I really like the corn flavor. I took the first sip with a straw without mixing and it was the best sip. I think the matcha ended up overpowering the corn a bit. If there is a coffee version of this, I'd like to try! There's indoor and outdoor seating! There's also outlets so it was a great spot to do work.

    corn einspanner
    Charlie N.

    I had some work I needed to catch up on and needed somewhere that had late-ish hours, and remembered that this was a spot on my list! PARKING: Pretty crowded parking lot for a Sunday afternoon, but I was able to find a spot WHAT I ORDERED: Corn einspanner with oatmilk THE DRINK: This was a pretty good einspanner. I do wish that rather than a latte topped with cream, it was an americano or just the espresso topped with the cream (if it were somehow possible to keep the corn flavor), because having both the milk and cream drowned out the espresso a bit. But the corn flavor and sweetness were nice and on par with other corn einspanners I've had. SERVICE: Good friendly service VIBES: Good for getting work done. My only complaint here was that the AC was weak, if any, which was a little uncomfortable on a hot day. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: Yes, at the seating by the wall/window and there was an outlet by the communal table * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, decent speed * BATHROOMS: Yes * VOLUME: Not too loud * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Good amount of seats - I was impressed by the fact that there was outdoor seating! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions we saw BOTTOM LINE: Would come back here again to do work!

    The matcha was so good! It had the perfect balance of matcha and milk, so the flavor was rich and smooth without being too bitter or overly sweet. You can really taste the quality in every sip. Definitely coming back again to try more from the menu!

    Dubai honey butter sticks
    Hollie W.

    Auria is a Korean cafe that offers really unique drinks!! The highlight was the matcha corn einspanner because the corn flavor really shines and pairs with the matcha. I also tried the black sesame latte, which I love trying at different cafes. They also offer pastries and desserts. I tried the Dubai honey butter sticks, which was really unique! I really enjoyed textures of the soft bread and crunch spread. You can order via a screen or through the cashier. It's a good spot to study or get work done. There's plenty of natural light and some outlets. They also have a large parking lot.

    Any reason for the name change? If I recall correctly this is their 3rd different name.

    Likely a copyright issue with another cafè.

    What is a honey butter stick? Is it like French toast?

    Yes it's like a French toast but if there's no egg involved it's butter toasted and sliced maybe an inch stick and put honey on

This is really just a friendly note to management. The only thing that turned a great experience into an uncomfortable one was the tipping screen. The suggested options started at 22% and climbed from there. I'm all for tipping, and I appreciate when businesses make it easy with reasonable options. 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.

The staff were welcoming and helped make my first visit a great experience. I ordered one of their bingsu desserts, and it was delicious--light, fluffy, and topped with fresh ingredients.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Very Disappointing Experience -- Poor Customer Service…read more A friend of mine came to visit from out of state, and since she had been looking forward to having Korean patbingsu (shaved ice with sweet red beans) while visiting the U.S., we decided to go to Sulbing. We ordered patbingsu, bungeoppang (Korean fish-shaped pastry), and an iced café latte. All three items were placed together on one tray. Before eating, I took a picture to post on Instagram. Then, when I picked up the iced latte to take a sip, the lid came off because it had not been properly secured, and the entire drink spilled all over my clothes. I immediately told the staff that the lid had not been properly closed. Instead of apologizing or offering any help, the employees insisted that they had definitely closed it properly and that they had heard the lid "click." They basically said it was not their fault. What was even more upsetting was that they then walked into the kitchen and left us without offering any assistance at all. We asked for something to clean up the mess, but they told us that the tissues were outside and that it was self-service. They simply handed me a mop and expected me to clean everything myself. I was honestly shocked by the lack of basic courtesy and customer service. I went to the restroom and tried to clean my clothes with water as best I could. When I came back out, I saw the two employees inside the kitchen laughing and chatting together. At that point, I was extremely upset. Despite everything, I stayed because my friend had traveled a long way and had really wanted to try the patbingsu and bungeoppang. We tried to enjoy our food, but the whole experience left a very unpleasant impression. Later, when I looked again at the latte photo I had taken for Instagram before the spill, I could clearly see that the lid was not properly sealed. I don't usually write negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt I needed to share it. Mistakes can happen, and I would have understood if the staff had simply apologized and tried to help. What was most upsetting was the attitude afterward -- no apology, no assistance, and no basic courtesy. I will not be returning to this location.

    This visit was on a Thurs morning around 9:30 for a birthday treat. 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!

    It absolutely pains me to leave a 3 star review for this place. I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. 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 ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.
