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.

GIRLLLL, to think I was potentially going to get a drink elsewhere. My gf and I were in the area so…read moreI did the sensible thing and found us three potential places to get coffee/matcha. I'm glad we stopped here because it surpassed my expectations. The guy who attended us was super nice, the epitome of kind, if I may. We ordered two double goose matchas and they were delicious, and the cookie I got was amazing, the definition of rich. I was excited to finally try ruby chocolate. After I took a bite of the cookie, I genuinely considered walking right back in there and buying their other cookies too because if this one was that good, the other ones must also be. It's hard to find a good cookie these days, and mind you these were more than reasonably priced. The place itself had a nice atmosphere, I liked the color of the chairs especially. I wanted to take a picture of the interior but there were people in there so I got shy lol. Anyways, I recommend trying this spot. Overall, everything was great quality. Aprobado por Chayanne

Cons: If you can not have dairy then you can only get a standard coffee with a different milk. Almost everything had dairy and cold foam so you can not try the specialty drinks. I would say this place is okay but I can't say it's worth the hype .

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.

I stopped by to check out their matcha and ordered a strawberry matcha to start…read more The flavor profile is excellent--balanced, bold, and clearly made with quality ingredients. 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.

You most likely will need to walk a bit since parking is pretty crowded, especially on weekends. Service: workers are not very friendly nor super helpful. Didn't feel very welcomed by them. Vibes: stop, order, leave kind of place. Drink: I ordered the hojicha latte with matcha cream top and it was very good. Not too sweet; I tasted the nuttiness of the hojicha while enjoying the slight umami of the matcha cream top. Would order this again.

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!
