SUPER bummed because I really enjoyed having nearby bingsoo. Gardena location is still open. For me, it is too far and I don't have a reason to frequent that area. It was a cute little spot with delicious, creative flavors and soft texture. The sweetness was just right. We loved coming for a late night dessert or bringing our friends who visited to this spot. The only con was really the parking because it was next to the gym. I will miss this spot and I hope another quality bingsoo place opens up nearby.

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.

My family and I went over to their food items and had a field day picking out what we wanted from containers. I got their sweet honey bread which was amazing, I've been a kick ordering this at bakeries. The blueberry muffin was okay, it was a bit crumbly. Corn mochi was quite interesting but I learned to like it. Sweet Potato mochi was solid and then I didn't try the Chestnut mochi. It was overall a good setting to get work done and plug your laptop in, use their wifi or restroom.

We tried the Cream Cheese Cloud Cake, and it was incredible!! It was so light, fluffy, and delicious that we literally inhaled the whole loaf (just between me and my husband! Lol). Every bite melted in our mouths! We also ordered the Ocean Yuzu Sparkling Drink, and it was perfection!! Refreshing, citrusy, and not overly sweet. It paired so well with the cake. Just wish we can order bigger cups . The owner was also incredibly kind. We had come hoping to try their signature Cheesetella Cloud Cake, but it had already sold out by the time we arrived. She was so sweet and even gifted me a cute Cheesetella keychain, which was such a thoughtful gesture (Thank you!! ) They're currently in their soft opening, so just be mindful of their hours. They're open until 5:00 PM, and popular items can sell out early. We'll definitely be coming back (earlier next time!).

Happy Grand Opening to Cheesetella's second location in Buena Park!…read more Parking: Free parking lot. It's a medium sized parking lot with a consistent amount of foot traffic. Ambiance/Environment: Very casual with a bright interior and cute decor. They have a small space with limited indoor seating. I visited on the second day of their grand opening, and it wasn't as busy. Service: I was welcomed when I entered. One of the workers asked me if I had any questions and informed me of the promotions. The cashier that rung me up was really nice. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. Drinks & desserts: Of course they're known for their castellas and Japanese-style cheesecakes. Castella is a popular Japanese honey sponge cake. Their cakes are a perfect dessert to share with friends & family. I ordered an original castella, and it was extremely fluffy. It was not too sweet, but the homemade whipped cream definitely made it sweeter. Presentation could've been better bc mine was lopsided. I also ordered a butterscotch latte. Since it's a latte, I thought there'd be espresso shots but it was mainly milk with whipped butterscotch. Very similar to Dalgona coffee. I thought the drink was okay; it'd be better with espresso shots and topped with butterscotch foam. - Butterscotch Latte x2 - Original castella - 9 oz homemade whipped cream Pricing: Prices are average for a dessert/coffee shop. I took advantage of their grand opening deals. They were offering BOGO free on all drinks and a free homemade whipped cream with the purchase of a cheesecake or castella. I wanted to try two different drinks for the BOGO, but one of the workers said it had to be the same drink .. which was weird ..

The service was quick and friendly. Got a strawberry shaved snow. It really was powdery like snowfall. The snow was clean tasting (not sugary), with all the sweetness in the strawberry ice cream, condensed milk and strawberry syrup. This made it convenient to control preference of sweetness level (say, for a toddler.) Totally want to return to try their matcha shaved snow and matcha mochi box next!

My friend and I got the mango passion fruit tea and peach oolong tea. Both were solid and not too sweet. Service was alright. No staff members said anything when we entered or ordered on the kiosk, nor did anyone call our orders/names out when our items were ready- the drinks were just placed on the counter without any communication. Regardless, I'd come back for the drinks.

Paris Baguette has locations all over California and I'm not a fan of their drinks, but their…read moredesserts and pastries are pretty nice. It's obvious that Paris Baguette has a strong pulse on what's trendy in pastry and they're really smart about what they put out there. This month, they had a smores theme, so I got a smores liege waffle and a smores croissant. The croissant was "new york style", where it was filled with a marshmallow creme and dipped in chocolate. The liege waffle was pretty nicely crispy like a kouign amann and it also had that marshmallow creme that provided the perfect touch of sweetness. I love that you can get a curry croquette here and their version is not bad. What I love getting here is their version of a coffee croissant doughnut. Compared to Dominique Ansel's version, I believe their coffee doughnut compares pretty favorably. Unlike Ansel, who offers the coffee doughnut occasionally, Paris Baguette offers the coffee pastry pretty consistently and I'm appreciative of that.
