    lots of seating
    Catherine B.

    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.

    The staff and vibe is as relaxing as the wall experience lol. Get the scones!!! Blueberry was delicious and fun fact someone here had a mom that makes them! Delicious and the presentation was a level up! As I do, I asked for the person at the counters favorites coffee drink made the way they like it best. Delicious!!!! Boat Latte did not disappoint! Will come back again and try another scone and another of their beautifully crafted coffees.

    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.

    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

    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!(:

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

When it was finally our turn, they told us they were closing early at 11:45 PM due to being short-staffed--even though it was only 11:15 PM at the time and the posted closing time is 12 AM. They still took our order, but the interaction felt rushed and uncomfortable. While I was trying to decide what to order, they kept emphasizing that they were closing early, which made it feel like we were being pushed to hurry. I understand being short-staffed and didn't expect full service, but basic courtesy and clear communication would have made a big difference. It would have been more respectful to let customers know about the early closing when we walked in, rather than waiting until our turn after helping others.

I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free.

On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.
