Overdue review! Picked up a few goodies for work and everything was so good! I have yet to try the cookies again cuz I wasn't able to eat them right away, so not mentioning them. I got the Butter and Blueberry Scones and they were pretty flavorful. I also couldn't get over the NICE packaging for a to-go box. The staff was very helpful and considerate. More visits in the future. read more

New cafe in Buena Park with lots of seating inside. Their tangerine matcha has tangerine puree and tangerine cream. I got it without the puree, and the drink was sufficiently sweet with the cream top. If you like sweeter matchas, I'd recommend keeping the puree as the matcha is unsweetened. A couple things to note: compared to the promo photos, you get a lot less cream top. It didn't even cover the top; it was more like a drizzle in the center. Also, they charge sales tax/credit card fee on the drink, so the menu price was $7.50 total ended up being something like $8.20. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!(: read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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.

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! read more

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!!! read more

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! read more

So glad I was in the area to get my car serviced. I Yelp'd a coffee spot to grab before waiting at the dealer. Before n After came up with raving reviews and I had to check out what the hype was about. What a gem! Love that parking was easy and the cafe was easy to find. There's plenty of indoor seating to get nice and comfy. Groups were already situated when I walked in, chatting it up and feeling right at home. Customer service was AMAZING! Very apologetic for having to wait just a few minutes. My coffee and treats were also very good. Love the cute and fun aesthetics! I would definitely recommend! read more

I've been to many coffee shops, but very few have blown me away like Before n After has! There are a few reasons why: - They had lactose-free milk! For me, this was the highlight for sure. I love coffee and matcha with regular milk, so for most coffee shops I would typically just order my drink with whole milk and then take a Lactaid pill. Not here! The awesome girl at the counter told me that lactose-free milk was an option, to my pleasant surprise. - The interior is so cozy and cute! The coolest part was the big screen they had in there. At the time I went in, it looked to be on some chill/relaxing video, but I saw on Instagram that they were displaying the World Cup matches on there--how sick! - The Strawberry Matcha--I got the strawberry matcha and it was delicious! The strawberry aspect was so fresh, and the matcha itself tasted great. I live around the corner, and know I will be making this place a go-to! If you're in the area and looking to try a new coffee shop/cafe, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

Before n After instantly earned a spot on my favorites list. The cafe itself is so cute -- Korean-inspired, thoughtfully designed, and full of personality. The giant LED screen wall creates such a unique atmosphere, and even the restroom was charming and intentionally decorated. Every detail felt carefully considered. I ordered the Biscoff Latte, but since I don't usually enjoy overly sweet drinks, I swapped the sweet cream cold foam for the sea salt cold foam. That sweet-and-salty contrast was an absolute game changer. It balanced everything perfectly and made the drink feel indulgent without being overwhelming. This drink is my absolute favorite. EVER - and I used to be a barista in a Cuban coffee shop. As good as the latte was, the real star of the show was the Kaymak. Calling it "cream cheese" would honestly be an insult because it was so much more than that. Rich, creamy, and unbelievably delicious, topped with pistachios and honey--it was one of those bites that makes you immediately want another. I wish I had taken better notes of the menu descriptions and snapped some photos, but we were in a rush and too busy enjoying everything. The owners were incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth the drive, and I'll absolutely be back to work my way through more of the menu and take pics! Highly recommend!! read more

Checked out Before n After Coffee (they opened last November) and wow... this place is poppin. We went on a Friday night about an hour before closing and still barely managed to snag a seat. Always a good sign. The service was top notch and the interior is such a vibe--clean, cozy, and the kind of place you actually want to hang out for a while. But most importantly... the matcha. Absolutely matcha-licious. The Cinnamon Toast Matcha Latte is 100% on point. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, not too bitter. If you're a matcha person, this spot is 100% worth the visit. Also, I wish I could give them an extra star for that Chocolate Chip cookie. They somehow managed to WOW my cookie-loving korean hubby (deserves a standing ovation). read more

My mom introduced me to this place and I was thoroughly impressed by their service and drinks! I got their Misutgaru Latte and Strawberry Latte (both light ice). Both drinks tasted great, I preferred more of the misutgaru latte more (possibly bc I'm Korean and I've had it when I was younger). Service was excellent and clean inside. I loved their clean set up and laid back experience. They have ample enough of parking. I felt their drinks were a little more on the pricey side though. Their location felt more of a lowkey spot kinda secluded because on the other side of the street, there's all the main fast food spots. Regardless, now that I know of this cafe, I'd definitely recommend to anyone and come back again. read more

A charming, feel-good spot! I love the serene and playful atmosphere. The giant LED screen transforms the space with breathtaking scenery, like Studio Ghibli animations on repeat! It's as if we're transported to another world. The space feels so dreamy & inviting to unwind and linger over drinks. With plenty of seating, lots of parking, and delightful treats, why wouldn't anyone want to stay? I loved the texture of chocolate chip cookie with walnuts! It's lightly crumbly, rich and sandy. Ask for the cookie to be warmed up! The melty chocolate makes it feel even more indulgent. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha Latte was pure joy in a cup. Made with Saemidori matcha, oat milk, and a cereal I already adore, it managed to hit both the comfort and nostalgia buttons at the same time. My experience was made even sweeter by the staff - kind, happy to offer recommendations, and thoughtful enough to walk my drink over to where I was sitting. Safe to say, I'm already plotting my return and dragging my besties here. read more

I found Before n After Coffee Shop on Yelp. It's in the Centerpointe shopping center. I came here today and first off I love that it's a family-owned businesss you can really feel the care and pride they put into the place. I decided to get the boat latte and a chocolate chip walnut cookie. Their boat latte is one of their speciality drinks unfortunately it is made with oat milk and it cannot be changed. I decided to try my luck but to be honest it wasn't my cup of tea. As I was walking a nice gentleman thanked me for coming and I asked him if it was his spot and he told me it was the family business. He was the Father and told me his son and I said oh yes I read the Yelp reviews. I did mention that I wasn't pleased with my drink and he was so kind enough to tell me to talk to his son and his son would take care of me. I talked to Kyle and he was soooo nice and understanding. I opted to get the vanilla latte instead and he was so accommodating of remaking me a drink so I was happy. I didn't love the vanilla syrup but for them to remake it I give them 5 stars for service. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the kind of spot where you can relax, catch up with a friend, or get some work done. I love the LED wall they had that had different animations playing its super unique. I didn't get a chance to sit down as I grabbed my drink and cookie to go but it would be nice to check it out next time. Oh and the cookie was a little dry and my Husband felt the same. It tasted like those almond cookies with the pink box just with chocolate chips. This place has been open for about 2 months now and I just really loved the service. I definitely would come back if they added more drinks hopefully an einspanner or a Spanish latte or a raspberry latte. I definitely support this small family business and would recommend checking out. read more

We came on a Thursday afternoon and there weren't many people at this time but even then there were lots of seats inside ! It had a very peaceful aesthetic for studying and has wifi too. We ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch matcha latte and the Jeju tangerine matcha latte. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch matcha latte had a really strong cinnamon toast flavor that it just tasted like milk after eating the cereal. The jeju tangerine matcha had a nice tang that works but does feel overwhelming after a while. I would come back to study as it does seem like a nice place and would try their coffees ! read more

The moment you walk in, the little you from elementary school comes out and you can't help but smile and silently scream how so kawaii. Pure happiness appears and all sadness disappears. Along with that, their Boat and matcha toast crunch latte is a great addition to the fresh baked pastries made every morning. I love the whole family is involved in this new coffee shop. This coffee shop was inspired on their family trip to Korea and this family set a goal to make this coffee shop happen they did. The mom makes pastries daily and the son makes sure all the coffee and matcha drinks are top notch. You can't help really feel the love and attention to every detail. Lastly I love how close this spot is and you simply look to the giant wall and escape with your imagination. Great spot for anyone and especially if you appreciate anime. 10/10 read more

At first glance, you'll immediately notice the huge LED screen from outside! Such a cool first impression! This Korean-inspired coffee shop with a Studio Ghibli theme is definitely a vibe... but trust, it's not just about aesthetics. The drinks & pastries actually eattttt. We ordered the Honey Oat Latte & the Boat Latte (Biscoff latte). Both were coffee-based & you could really taste the fresh espresso!! The milk-to-coffee ratio was perfect not watered down, not overly milky. Strong & bold, just the way I like it. The girl at the front was so sweet & helpful when we mentioned it was our first time. Love when staff actually guide you through the menu! We also tried their new Kaymak Toast, which paired so well with the coffee. It's a toasted baguette served with a honey butter spread on the side -- simple but such a good balance of sweet and rich. Definitely a place I'd come back to chill, study, or catch up with friends. Great vibes + great drinks!! read more

My friends and I tried out this place because an influencer stated this as a studio ghibli cafe. HOWEVER, this isn't a Studio Ghibli cafe, but I would still recommend it! There's a few pastries in this cafe. There's a good amount of tables. The service was good and the ambiance is pretty loud. I got the aloe-ha and I liked how refreshing and nice the drink was! The drink has a mixture of aloe Vera, coconut water and some sparkling water and some sort of flavoring combined. Personally, I would recommend this as a small cafe to just have a small sip. They have a unisex restroom and haha I think the most unique thing was the HELLO KITTY toilet paper! TIP: The parking lot is ample and there's one restroom in the cafe! read more

#177 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. The cafe was pristine and looked like a winter wonderland when I stopped by during the holidays. I was particularly impressed by the massive wall-to-wall screen that served as a stunning backdrop with different picturesque scenes displayed. The cafe's aesthetics are definitely first-rate, and it's what drew me to this coffeeshop in the first place. Service was also warm and welcoming, which contributed to the relaxed atmosphere and inviting ambiance. Their menu has a few unique coffee and tea creations, so after some deliberation I went with the Cinnamon toast crunch matcha latte. The matcha was smooth and creamy, but I didn't love the overall flavor profile of the drink. Don't get me wrong, it was a solid drink - I guess I was just expecting more prominent flavors then a slightly sweetened matcha latte. The drink was good, just not so impressive that I'd get it again. I also ordered a matcha cookie, but sadly it was on the dry side. I'm excited to try their coffee drinks next time though! Overall, Before n After is a charming new coffeeshop with an aesthetically pleasing interior, friendly service, and photo-worthy drinks. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

I usually hang out in Irvine, but I also come around Buena Park and La Palma pretty often. Since La Palma is small, I think I've been to almost every coffee shop here. I heard about this place before, but it's my first time actually visiting! First off, I wouldn't say the parking lot is huge, but you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot. I love that it's not street parking. Personally, I prefer coffee shops where I can sit, read a bit, and work on my laptop, and this place is perfect for that. What sets it apart from other shops is the massive screen on one side of the wall. The prices are a tad on the higher side, but the taste is great, probably because they use good ingredients. I ordered a regular iced matcha latte, and I think there was an extra charge for ice. It came out to over $8 for a single cup including tip, so it is quite pricey. The matcha is decently sweet, smooth, and has a rich flavor. It tastes exactly like what a matcha latte should taste like--nothing more, nothing less! Would I come back? That's the most important question for me. If you ask me 'do you want to come back?', I'd say... not necessarily. I wouldn't drive all the way here just because I'm craving their matcha. But if I happen to be in the area and need to go to a cafe, it's worth a visit. The staff seems friendly and nice too! Oh, if you need Wi-Fi, the password is printed on the receipt, so make sure to grab it when you pay! They'll tell you if you ask, but hey, this saves you a few steps lol read more

I almost ruled BnA aka Before n After out because on social media, the shop was marketed as a cozy Ghibli vibe coffee shop. In the online reels, there's a giant monitor that projects cozy clips, but beyond that, it is not Ghibli-esque. For example, the chairs aren't comfortable to be considered cozy, so I knew I would have been bamboozled if I went in expecting that. Thank goodness I stopped by this place one night because it was opened late and close by one of the public libraries. It was too late for coffee then, so I had asked an associate what she recommended. Jayme was very patient, welcoming, and polite to my friend and me. She took the time to answer our questions about the items on the menu and shared what her favorites were. Based on the recommendations, I opted for the the Aloe-Ha drink, it's the blue colored drink that is refreshing, not too sweet, and just a perfect kind of light tea with what I believe is aloe vera jelly, basil seeds, and some coconut. Totally would come back again for this drink. My friend got their rice latte, which reminded us of a coffee tasting like cereal. I really loved their butter scone too. It's dense enough, not too sweet, with a piece of butter, and drizzled caramel. Probably one of the better ones I have had, and I am told this is made in-house. One of their best items that isn't marketed or explained enough (unless when asked) is their Kaymak dish. Kaymak is like clotted cream, but a little sweeter. Clotted cream is usually eaten with scones, but with Kaymak (the cream), it just depends. Here, the shop serves it with sliced toast and some honey drizzled. It is a very comforting dish, and tastes really good! In all honesty though, it is a bit overpriced by my standard for about $8 for cream, drizzled with honey, sprinkled with pistachio, and 4 thin slices of toast. I recommend they elevate this somehow with what they're charging. But the dish is definitely worth trying for those who love clotted cream, which isn't always easy to find in the USA. They make the Kaymak in-house as well. I did like the place overall, that I came back twice in a week with the bestie to force her to try their items. This time, it was Kyle who assisted us, and he was just as friendly and helpful. Consistently good customer service both times I went. They bring out the order to your table and will provide utensils and napkins too. Restrooms are clean, but parking can get challenging given the plaza space they share with other businesses. I've included some pictures of the items ordered for reference. read more

Their Korean pear espresso tonic was soooo goood. It was perfectly sweet, acidic, and bold. I've been on espresso tonic kick lately and I might've just found a top 3! The staff recommended another secret menu espresso tonic, so I'll have to try that next time. The space is a nice little hang out and work spot. There's a lot of seating but can get pretty tight when it's packed like when I went. The LED screen is definitely a vibe and transports you when you're working.

Popped into this cafe after my workout next door, not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Boat (Biscoff Oat) latte, which was very delicioussss, along with an everything bagel. Maybe I was just really hungry after my workout, but the bagel totally exceeded expectations, perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a strong garlicky flavor and cream cheese on the side so you can spread just the right amount. The staff was super nice, and the vibe was just as good as the food. They project fun scenery on the walls, have creative drinks, and an adorable logo. Overall a playful, creative atmosphere that breaks away from the usual minimalist coffee shop aesthetic. Highly recommend if you're in the area! :) read more

I would rate the drinks at about 4 stars but 5 stars for overall experience. This place has the most unique decor because of its large LED screen which covers an entire wall with different scenic background each day. It's almost like a mini IMAX screen where it makes you feel like you're in a different place if you are sitting close enough to the wall. It also has a bookshelf with several betta fish in tiny glass bowls. I think there are at least 10 of them. Tried five different drinks so far and my favorite is its Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha Latte. It's just a well-balance drink with just the right amount of sweetness and smooth matcha flavor. It has ceremonial grade matcha with oat milk, sea salt cold foam, and topped off with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal pieces. Korean Jeju Tangerine Matcha was good but it took me a while to get used to the flavor, mainly because I never had orange flavor mixed with matcha. It was weird at first but I finally go the flavor after about five minutes. I still prefer more traditional fruit flavors like strawberry and blueberry when it comes to matcha based drinks. Korean Rice Misutgaru Latte was soothing and tasty. It's a grainy, nutty drink for those that are not familiar. Good drink option for little kids since it doesn't have any caffeine. Korean Pear Espresso Tonic sounded interesting on paper but didn't think it added much to the flavor. The pear puree mainly added sweetness to the drink but I couldn't really taste much difference from a plain espresso tonic. Still good but just didn't taste as unique as I expected. Brown Sugar Tiger Milk Tea was good but was too sweet for me. I'll just have to remember to ask to make it less sweet if I get it again. There isn't any tea in the drink so it's another good option for kids. Service has been good. Each time I've been here, someone always brought the drinks to my table instead of just calling my name. It has a nice clean, modern decor, but space is quite small and has been packed each time I've been here. I still managed to find an empty seat each time, but it has been too cramped for my comfort level. This is located on the west end of Centerpointe Plaza near the 91 Freeway. It's on the side by A'roma Ristorante and Isla Cuban-Latin Kitchen. read more
