It's a Costa Rican-style mocha with a rich, bold flavor that's perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The Oahu Joe is another great option if you prefer something sweeter. It's a Hawaiian-style latte that's smooth, flavorful, and definitely satisfies a sweet coffee craving. Despite how busy the shop can get, drinks come out surprisingly fast since they have several baristas working behind the counter. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable about their coffee, and happy to answer questions or make adjustments to customize your drink. One thing that's a little different is that you pick up your drinks at the counter first, then head to the register to pay for whatever you ordered. The café also has plenty of seating, whether you're stopping by to work, catch up with a friend, or meet with a larger group. There are individual tables, a large round table, a cozy couch area, and outside patio seating. It's conveniently located in the historic downtown area, with plenty of street and nearby lot parking, making it an easy spot to visit. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality coffee and a welcoming atmosphere!

Their menu is a little different compared to Long Black, but I always get the Einspanner and it tastes just the same and delicious. I love their cream top. I honestly think it's the best in town. I had the Biscoff one before too and it's also very delicious! It's always busy in the morning which is good. The owner did a good job opening at this location and plaza. Lots of traffic going on here. Came here the other day w/ my aunt and it was our first time having the drinks for here. I like how they have the coffee in glass cups rather than the plastic ones. It's a nice aesthetic and it feels good just looking at it. Definitely come thru if you haven't been yet.

If you're local or traveling, I highly recommend the Black Mango Tea (iced with no little to no additives, as it came naturally was my preference). Anyway, I already had my morning cup of coffee and didn't expect to stop by this spot so opted for the tea. Nonetheless, the service is great (always be patient in mornings) don't talk until someone's had their caffeine , etc. Be sure to always follow your local coffee shop etiquette because one of a few locale Cortado Coffee Shoppes in Garden Grove, CA. is what I recommend with 4.8 stars. I'm never a 4.0 student so it's not fair to use a standard 5.0 in ratings because we are not perfect, myself included. All love to Cortado Coffee and stop by for coffee, tea, or a croissant on your way in or out of Disneyland area/O Orange County California area.

    We tried this location for the first time after hearing so many people rave about their matcha, and…read moreit definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the Matcha Einspanner and their House Coffee (a Vietnamese coffee), and both drinks were excellent. The matcha was a little on the sweet side, but it was incredibly smooth and delicious. The House Coffee was just as good it was rich, flavorful, and something I'd happily order again. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. We also lucked out with our timing. There was no line when we arrived, but as soon as we placed our order, a long line started forming. We got there at the perfect time!

The line to order moved quite slowly, but the speed of service after placing your order was quick. Since the menu lists the phoenix oolong MT drink as made with dairy free milk, I asked the cashier if this meant it would be using oat milk, which is what most of the other drinks are made with. The response I received was that it uses "non-dairy milk." I didn't think this was very informative and wish there could've been some better clarification. For the cafe itself, it was VERY HOT inside. Having no AC in this weather for a popular boba shop is quite sad and stingy. The workers were all glistening with sweat. I did visit the restroom, which was even hotter than the rest of the store.

They have the best selection in OC, with so many creative flavors that it's hard to choose just one. The bread is always soft, fluffy, buttery, and perfectly baked. Their matcha is just as impressive--smooth, rich, and earthy without being overly sweet. It pairs perfectly with any of the pastries. The café is bright, clean, and has a modern vibe that's great for relaxing or catching up with friends. Between the incredible salt bread, quality drinks, and welcoming atmosphere, I can definitely see why this spot has become so popular. I'll be coming back often to try the rest of the menu.

I've gone multiple times at different times and days and it is slow regardless if there is only 1 group in front of you or 6 groups. But the food and coffee are soooo good regardless and honestly worth the wait. my favorite is the garlic salt bread, but honestly all their pastries are good. Their coffee is also sooo good. Today I tried their muscova latte and it was a bit too much milk for me. I think I prefer the tiramisu more. Plenty of parking space as well. I think the westminister location is just a bit faster in service

I like this location more than others because of the bigger parking lot, more seating options (including an upstairs area and outdoor seating), and I've also received better service here compared to other locations. The place is simply decorated, and it honestly is a solid spot if you're looking to crank out some work or meet with colleagues/friends. It does get pretty crowded so it's better to get an early head start if you can, especially on the weekends. In terms of their drinks, my favorite is the blueberry lavender matcha latte. It's on the sweeter side and has a floral aftertaste, but the flavors mix really well together. I typically get their matcha drinks or teas because I'm not a fan of coffee, but my friends that are coffee fiends are fans of the various coffee drinks here. Compared to other cafes, I feel like the cost of the drinks is standard, but the prepared food and pastries are on the steeper side. Still a great spot, I enjoy coming for the atmosphere and biscuits!

The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

It was pretty milky. The black sesame flavor was good and nutty. However, I wasn't a fan of the large grainy bits in the drink. The drinks are also on the pricier side, similar to what you would see in LA which doesn't really match the area and other nearby coffee shops. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a bathroom available. For parking, there's a good amount of free parking in the lot. I think this cafe is known more for their coffees and I would get that next time, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha.

    a cute spot for a cute coffee, cute pastries, and cute vibes!…read more i have only been to sip a few times, but it absolutely love this spot. my first visit was several months ago with my coworker, we got some coffees after having lunch at hot c pot. i was finally able to visit a second time, last week, after an early morning appointment at the quest across the street. the shop is usually pretty busy but still welcoming. the baristas proficiently balance the flow of customers inside the limited space with patience and a smile. indoor and outdoor seating is available, and most customers seemingly take their orders to go. if you're able to find space inside, you'll be able to experience the cool coffee shop vibe and wall art as well as wares for sale like stationary and a variety of maldon salts. if you can stop by early enough, you can enjoy some of their fresh sweet or savory pastries - they even have vegan options. i have only tried one drink, but i dream about it often: the islander latte with oatmilk. the standard islander latte is made with coconut & macadamia syrup, espresso, whole milk, & toasted coconut topping, i just sub for oat milk at an extra 50 cents. the coconut and macadamia combination is sweet, tropical, and nutty - it's such a tasty beverage, and the oat milk makes it even more creamy and delicious! you can check out their online menu to see their specialty drinks as well as more standard coffee offerings such as cold brew, americano, flat white, espresso tonic, etc as well as their instagram for any new or seasonal beverages. extra plus: not only does their online menu detail more offering, but they have plenty of modifiers available to make just about any drink you're craving! you can adjust the milk options or sweetness level, add a cream or foam topping, check out other syrup flavors, and non-coffee drinks. i highly recommend sip coffee and goods! it's a lovely local spot that you could easily miss in this busy shopping center, but it's wonderfully worth your time.
