One of my favorite simple coffee drinks in the area is the New Orleans iced coffee here. It's made…read morewith chicory-style cold brew, milk, and simple syrup. Very straightforward, but really well balanced. If you've never had chicory coffee before, it has a deeper, slightly earthy flavor that stands out from a standard cold brew without being overly bitter. It feels inspired by Louisiana/New Orleans-style coffee rather than the super sugary "dessert coffee" trend that a lot of places lean into right now. What I especially appreciate is the price point. At around $5.75, it feels reasonable for a specialty coffee drink that still tastes unique and intentional.

After supercharging my car near the Ontario mall I looked up a coffeeshop on Yelp and noticed there…read morewas a Nook that had a location in Rancho. I've been to the location in Costa Mesa and remembered having a positive experience there which is why I didn't hesitate to set my navigation to this location. Walking in I didn't get a single greeting even though there were 4 employees working with no customers that they had to tend to. I almost felt like I was walking into a kumbaya and I was inconveniencing the employees interactions. The interior also is so... bare... and looks like they didn't even attempt to try to make the coffeeshop seem or feel cozy and inviting. It's been a while since I've felt like I should have just spent my money on the nearby Starbucks instead of going out of my way to support small businesses.

On our way out of LA, we just wanted a good cup of coffee before we hit the road, and stumbled upon…read moreGoose Coffee. Such a cute coffee shop, plenty of seating, a decent menu with some staples and some specials, and a small pastry select selection I went with my go to coffee order: an iced vanilla latte. It was perfectly balanced between the coffee, cream, and sweetness. The coffee wasn't burnt or overpowered by the other flavors. My friend got an Americano with sweet cream and a plain croissant. Her coffee was equally as good and she said her croissant was one of the best that she's ever had. Very flaky and buttery without being too greasy. The baristas were also so nice! Fast and friendly service, our drinks were ready in no time. I wish there were more locations, but if I find myself in the area, I will definitely be back!

I'm new to it, but I believe they do seasonal drinks etc. I tried their iced matcha banana crumble latte, per suggestion of the barista. It was really yummy! I got my husband the cappuccino, and he said it was really good. I also grabbed their honeycomb pastry & lotus tres leches cake. Both were really yummy. It looks like a nice place to come in and relax or even study. There was plenty of seats. I also found the service really pleasant, kind, and quick!

The space feels modern yet cozy -- great for catching up with friends. There are also two small tables outside designated for takeout guests, which is a thoughtful touch. The staff was very friendly and proactively introduced the seasonal menu, which I appreciated. I ordered the Tiramisu Pistachio latte -- the pistachio flavor was fragrant and nutty, though I didn't taste much tiramisu. Still, it was enjoyable overall, and the coffee itself was aromatic and well-balanced. We visited around 5 p.m. on a Friday and it wasn't crowded at all. Parking is somewhat limited, so you may need to find street parking nearby. If you're looking for a quieter spot to sit and chat, this is a solid choice. My friend and I ended up talking for over an hour comfortably.

The matcha itself has a strong, authentic taste that holds its own while still pairing nicely with the sweetness of the strawberry. The space is just as impressive as the drinks. It has a soft pink aesthetic that feels intentional and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of seating available for working or relaxing. It's the kind of café that makes you want to stay awhile, whether you're on your laptop or catching up with a friend. They also offer free WiFi, which makes it even more practical for longer stays. What really stood out, though, was the service. In a time when many aesthetically pleasing coffee shops tend to fall short on hospitality, this place does the opposite. I was greeted with a warm, genuine smile upon entering, and the staff went above and beyond by bringing my matcha and musubi directly to my table. Small gesture, big impact. Friendly, attentive, and consistent service from start to finish. Overall, this is a spot that delivers on both vibe and substance. I'll definitely be coming back.

Stumbled upon Monday to Sunday Dessert Cafe while visiting the Haven City Market. It was a happy…read moreoccurrence since I was in the mood for a coffee after having lunch. Their menu was fairly straightforward and, truthfully, everything sounded good. Apparently they're known for their matcha drinks as I saw mostly everyone ordering one. However, I had my heart set on a coffee. The staff I interacted with when ordering left a lot to be desired. Very cold demeanor, especially after I ordered a coffee and asked about the popularity with their matcha drinks since I noticed everyone ordering one. She literally rolled her eyes with a sigh and was like, "well...that's what we're known for" then scurried away without any interaction or thank you to any friendly gesture upon me paying. I also ordered a scone, which she brought over to me and, again, when I said thank you, she just walked away. No smile. Nothing. Exact same interaction when giving me my drink at the pickup area. Super rude. My order consisted of a Cafe Latte and Biscoff Scone. Both were really good, despite the awful service experience. The latte was rich and the brew was tasty. The scone was the showstopper for me though. I don't normally like scones, but this had to be one of the best ones I've ever had. The biscoff flavor was prominent throughout and the texture was not hard and dry. It truly was perfection. Because of the poor service experience, I can't say that I'd return. However, if you do decide to give them a try, make sure to add a scone to your order.

I ordered a cold brew with banana foam, and the cold foam was forgotten at first. When it was added afterward, it kind of threw off the whole drink. The final result tasted more like the dreaded coffee-flavored water than an actual cold brew, which is not ideal when coffee should be the main event. The staff is friendly, the menu is COMPLEX, and they have a lot of interesting drinks and other cool items for sale. It's worth stopping by once to check out but based on the drink I had, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. However, one super cool thing is that when they make their ice cubes, they're made out of coffee so that when it melts, it melts down correctly. That's probably the only thing that's bad ass about this place.

The coffee itself was okay, but I expected a bit more craftsmanship/artisanal quality, especially considering they're using a La Marzocco Micra or Mini a machine capable of producing really great coffee. Right now, it feels more like a trendy cafe experience than a standout coffee experience. They definitely lean into the current matcha hype as well. That said, if you and your friends just want a cozy place to hang out, chat, and don't mind waiting, this place works for that vibe.

I usually get 50% sweetness but we opted for 60% for both of our drinks this time. Surprisingly, the drinks both tasted unsweet, almost like it was watered down. They weren't anything special. From what I've seen on other reviews, some of their drinks run on the less sweet side which coincides with our experience. I'd adjust accordingly and get a drink with a bit higher sweetness than you're accustomed to. The customer service was nice and efficient though!
