    Service was nice, interior is cute, coffee drinks were tasty. It was a little hard to find, tucked away in warehouses, there's a small plaza with a Jimmy John's sandwich shop. The coffee shop is right next to the hair salon. There were a lot of people on their computers, working/studying on a Friday afternoon. I ordered the Jeju tangerine espresso tonic. It's carbonated and refreshing. I haven't had anything like it. I would get it again. I also ordered the Biscoff latte at 50% sweetness, and that was good too. I haven't tried any of their pastries, but it was cute to try out this shop!

    My new favorite coffee shop! The interiors and ambiance of this place is so welcoming. They also have giant uno cards, Jenga, and other games you play while you wait. I love their huge projector screen. So peaceful. The scones are amazing as well. I also love their honey oat coffee. Even better with lactose free alternatives.

    Such a cool spot! My partner and I stopped by after a run nearby because we wanted to try somewhere new, and I'm so glad we did. Parking was quick and easy, and the café itself has a really inviting atmosphere. There's plenty of seating, and one entire wall is covered by a massive TV that was playing the World Cup while we were there, which made it a fun place to sit and hang out. For reference, we visited around 11 a.m. on a Tuesday, so it wasn't very busy. The service was great. The employees were friendly, made conversation while we ordered, and even brought our drinks over to our table after we got distracted watching the game. It was a small gesture, but one that made the experience feel a little more personal. They even said goodbye from a distance after we left. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte, and my partner got a Vanilla Latte with cold foam. Both drinks were smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful without being overly sweet. Personally, I would've liked a slightly stronger espresso flavor, but that's just my preference. I could definitely always just ask for an extra shot! Overall, they were both really enjoyable. This is definitely somewhere I'd come back to, not just for the coffee, but for the atmosphere. It's the kind of place that's easy to spend a while in, and I'm already looking forward to trying more of the menu.

    My sister recommended Before n After and we love a good matcha, so we definitely had to try! We ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha & the Boat Latte. Both were so good and definitely recommend. They did have some food/snack items, we didn't try but would love to come back and order. They had seating inside which seems like such a cool place to study or hang out with friends. They have tons of parking in their parking lot, and it was super easy to find. Hope to come again soon!(:

    Lots of parking and seating Cute cafe Matcha strong flavor We tried the cinnamon toast matcha and the jeju matcha latte which were good Also tried the ube and earl grey scones - i wish it came w some jam and butter cause it was a bit dry to eat Large tv screen - we watched japan vs Netherlands world cup game there - fun and chill vibe Will definitely be back

    Stopped by Before & After Coffee Shop recently, and the first thing that caught my attention was the name. It's such a cute concept, and thankfully the coffee shop itself lives up to it. The café is located in a larger plaza surrounded by several other businesses, making it easy to find. There's plenty of parking available, which is always a plus. The only thing I'd note is that the parking lot has a lot of turns and connecting sections that lead to additional businesses deeper into the complex. It can feel a little narrow in certain spots, and traffic tends to keep moving, so just be mindful of other cars while navigating through the lot. Once inside, the space felt bright, clean, and welcoming. The menu was easy to read and not overwhelming, which I appreciated. There was plenty of seating available, making it a comfortable spot whether you're meeting a friend, catching up on work, or just enjoying a drink. I originally came in for two drinks that immediately caught my attention: the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha and the Biscoff Cookie Latte. I ended up purchasing both, but since the Biscoff latte wasn't for me, I'll save my thoughts on that drink for a future visit after I've had the chance to try it myself. For this visit, I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha, and the presentation was adorable. They topped the drink with actual Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal pieces resting on the foam, which immediately made me smile, because Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal was a childhood favorite of mine. As for the flavor, it's important to know what you're ordering. If you're looking for a traditional matcha experience where the earthy notes and quality of the matcha are the star of the show, this probably isn't the drink for you. Once mixed, the dominant flavors are cinnamon, sweet cereal milk, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Personally, I thought it was delicious, but it drinks more like a fun dessert-inspired specialty beverage than a classic matcha. If you have a sweet tooth, enjoy creative drinks, or just want something nostalgic and different, I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try. The café also has a large screen mounted on one wall, and during my visit it wasn't loud or distracting at all. It actually felt like a nice place to study, work, or have a conversation. I'm not sure what the atmosphere is like later in the day, especially if sports or other events are being shown, but during my visit it was relaxed and comfortable. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back. Between the Biscoff Cookie Latte and several coffee options that caught my eye, I already have a reason to return. If you're looking for a cute coffee shop with plenty of seating, easy parking, and creative specialty drinks, Before & After Coffee Shop is worth checking out.

    Chill Korean cafe vibes in La Palma. Went for an after dinner dessert. Parking was plentiful in the large plaza. Ordered the strawberry latte and an earl grey scone, and also had a taste of the Korean rice latte. The strawberry latte was pretty good, I think could have used some fresh strawberries along with less preserves, as it was a little too sweet - but didn't mind it overall. The Korean rice latte was also a little on the sweeter side also. The scone was a bit too dry for my liking - so may pass on that next time around. Overall - the vibe is pretty good with the large screen (though wonder how hot it would get in the summer time) - might switch up the scone for a cookie next time though.

    Boat Latte (Biscoff Oat Latte) and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte
    Terrence C.

    Loved the drinks we got! The Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte and Biscoff latte were very flavorful. Throughout the entire drink the flavor held, didn't just taste like milk and a splash of flavor like other coffee places. It was well balanced and will definitely come back to try more!

    Indoor Seating

    Before N After Coffee is such a hidden gem tucked into a large strip mall right off the 91 freeway with super easy parking. The space is small but mighty with tons of seating both indoors and outdoors, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends, work, or just relax with a coffee. Owner Kyle was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better! The lattes were delicious, the bagels were fresh, and the homemade cream cheese spreads are an absolute must-try. Highly recommend the Boat Latte a creamy Biscoff oat milk latte with the perfect amount of sweetness. Seriously one of the creamiest and most delicious coffees I've had in a long time! Cannot wait to come back!!

    needed a change of scenery to get some work done so i checked out BNA Cafe last week. I ordered the jeju tangerine matcha latte and it was really good, refreshing and not too sweet. I also grabbed a bagel with cream cheese to snack on while working. The projection walls throughout the cafe were such a cool touch and lowkey reminded me of soarin' at disney ! the space was clean, not overcrowded, and the staff were all really nice too.

    Loving this cafe~ The ambiance is super cozy and laid-back--we had the best time just chillin'. I totally loved the mirror inside that looks amazing reflecting the sunset. My niece was craving matcha and it was good. Would've been cool to see a few more matcha options on the menu though. I'm definitely trying that strawberry latte next time. We also had a blast playing some fun games while we were there. It was great family chill time. Oh, and the service was friendly, there's a restroom inside, plus plenty of parking, which is super convenient. Solid 4 for the matcha and a solid 5 for the vibe!

    Kaymak
    Sherwin C.

    Randomly found this place thru Yelp! We ordered the Jeju Matcha Tangerine, Cinnamon Toast Match, and Kaymak. The 2 drinks were not too sweet, no adjustments needed. The Kaymak was simple, yet super satisfying! The sourdough bread was toasted and still fluffy. The dip, which I think was butter and honey with sprinkles of pistachio, was just right. Our only issue was needing more break . The server was knowledgeable and gave those great recommendations. Service was fast. They had a whole wall with LCD screens that acted like wallpaper and it was beautiful. Highly recommend!!!

    This cafe is cozy and has cute atmosphere! They have a large screen displayed but I didn't get a chance to see the Ghibli this time. The plaza was easy to park. The staff was very kind and assisted with recommendations to their drinks. Was feeling adventurous and so tried their Jeju Tangerine Matcha Latte. Surprisingly it mixed pretty well and the tangerine didn't overpower the matcha. Definitely would like to come back and try their other drinks!

I know banana isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea because it has such a distinct flavor, but I really love how they construct this drink. You can genuinely taste the banana, and I love that it seems like they use real banana rather than that artificial banana flavor you get at some other cafés. It makes such a difference! I've also tried their coffee, and it's really good! Their coffee has a nice, strong flavor and doesn't taste watered down at all. I feel like they're probably more known for their matcha, but their coffee definitely deserves some love too. I've tried matcha from a lot of different places, including spots in LA, and while everyone has their own preferences, if you're in the Orange County area, I would definitely recommend giving Coffee & a try. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, this is one of my favorite cafés. It has that cute little hole-in-the-wall feeling where you find a place that you just want to keep coming back to. The service is also amazing! Everyone I've interacted with has been super nice and welcoming, which honestly makes the experience even better. As for the pastries, they're really good too! They'll warm them up for you, and they have the cutest cookies that look like little cartoon characters. They sometimes have seasonal cookies as well, which I think is such a cute touch. Overall, I really love how much personality this café has. If you're a matcha lover in OC, I definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!

Customer Service: 5 I asked a lot of questions upon ordering and the staff was friendly, laughing, having a good time, and helpful. Love to see that in a workplace!

Food quality: N/A Price worth it: 5 It's becoming more and more commonplace with our coffee orders that we're paying about $9 a drink with our modifications.

We felt uncomfortable with the staring and the overall lack of warmth, and after standing there for a while, we decided to leave. What made it especially disappointing is that we are both minorities and genuinely wanted to support a new minority-owned business in the neighborhood. Instead, we walked away feeling completely unwelcome. Before leaving, I brought the experience up to someone who worked there, and the only response I received was, "I'm so sorry." There was no attempt to understand what happened or make us feel differently about the experience. It's really unfortunate that in 2026, people can still walk into a business and feel unwelcome because of the way they are treated. Customer service and simply acknowledging people who walk through your door should be the bare minimum. I really wanted to support this new neighborhood business, but unfortunately, I'll stick with places like Smoking Tiger where we have always felt welcomed and treated with kindness.

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 banana also leaned a bit more on the artificial side and overall was quite expensive at almost $9 with tax. Would probably not order again.

Would still come here to study again, but it can sometimes be a hit or miss.

    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 rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly frustrating. We were told the…read morewait for our soufflé pancakes would be around 20 minutes, which seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.

Usually I'm a sipper, but today my drink was gone in about 10 minutes because of how delicious and refreshing it was on this hot day. Just a heads up though--this is not a Masala chai with spices like cardamom. This chai is more of a sweet creamy cinnamon chai. Definitely recommend. Service 10/10 Friendly, pleasant, and helpful service. Ambiance 9/10 Clean and minimal design. On a Friday early, there was only 2-3 customers studying or reading. Great place to study with good free wifi, outlets, and a bathroom. There's also plenty of parking and lots of restaurants and eateries walking distance. I've gone to the Coffee Code in Fullerton, but it's always quite crowded when I've gone and I've struggled to find a table. Already planning to go back to this location in Buena Park.

The Iced Vanilla Latte was excellent! rich and flavorful, yet clean and smooth without being overly heavy or creamy. The waffle was also delicious, topped with fresh fruit and ice cream, making it a perfect treat to share or enjoy as dessert. The service was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I'll definitely be coming back for another Iced Vanilla Latte.
