Honestly I have little to no complaints! My family and I have been chilling here on occasion for years and their drinks have just been getting better and better. PARKING: Can get busy but it's not difficult to park. In the same plaza as Odori Sushi (behind the Chase bank). VIBES: Casual, cute. Lots of people here to study or to chill with friends, and there's plenty of seating too. Not the best on a weekend though, as it gets crowded. SERVICE: Quick and easy. You order at the register and you can see very clearly how they make your drinks. It's pretty cool, as they have a lot of cool equipment. DRINKS: The iced strawberry latte is GREAT with oat milk! I tried one with normal milk too and there's a clear difference. I recommend the oat for sure! FOOD: Waffles are pretty standard, and it's a great dish to share with a group. I'm sad they no longer have mochi waffles though. read more

Funnily enough a Starbucks employee recommended this place to me while we were chatting at the Starbucks pickup window. I decided to give this place a try. It's located in a little plaza area, really unassuming and may be hard to locate if you weren't looking for it specifically. It was pretty busy on a random weekday but the barista was quick to acknowledge me and let me know she'd be with me momentarily. There were several baked goods options in addition to a nice sized menu. I kind of wish they had a description of the drinks but no hesitation on asking for a description. I opted for the iced strawberry latte and it was really yummy. The ice cubes were made with coffee which was nice but funnily enough I drank my drink before it even got close to getting watered down. Flavor was good but not heavy on coffee flavor and I wonder how much caffeine was actually in the drink. Def didn't give me a kick but I usually go for triple shots anywhere we go so take that for what it's worth. I'll probably check this place out a few more times read more

My boyfriend and I are venturing out to try new coffee shops; Coffee Code popped up with their advertised "coffee ice cubes" and we were instantly sold! We walked in on a Wednesday afternoon and were greeted by Sam-- the cafe isn't too big, seats about 20 or so customers, very clean and modernized. We met Sam at the register and asked a few questions since it was our first time and he was super informative. I asked what type of oatmilk they use (which is Califia Farms Barista Blend and it's good!) they use Monin brand syrups and sauces, and that their iced lattes are a little on the sweeter side. BF and I both went with the iced vanilla latte with oatmilk and it was perfect for me, who loves the sweetness but can also taste the espresso. We also purchased a cheese danish and strawberry cheese danish, both good and they warmed it for us!! Sam made this a great first experience for us, even gave one of our drinks an extra pump of vanilla after ordering since my guy prefers a little sweeter. We would definitely come back 10/10. Customer service was amazing. The coffees are delicious -- coffee ice cubes are such a bonus!! I'm looking forward to trying another flavor next time :) thank you Sam for above and beyond service and for making us some delicious drinks. read more

Wanted a change of scenery from our usual WFH routine in the home office so my husband and I decided to take our work out to the local coffee shop for half the day. We came in around noon and it was PACKED! We were hoping it would quiet down after the lunch hour, but unfortunately, it didn't. This is NOT the place I would recommend to do some focus work and take meetings/calls. Because the place is small, it was quite NOISY. However, even if you weren't coming in to do some work, I wouldn't recommend it for the reason that it's a bit OVERPRICED. I paid $7+ for a cup of MEDIOCRE, black coffee. My husband, however, swears that this place has the best MOCHA he has ever tasted. No complaints about the service and this coffee shop is clean, airy, and bright. read more

I've had Coffee Code on my list of coffee shops to check out, and finally had the chance to stop by! It's tucked away in the back corner of a strip plaza. Parking looks limited and narrow, but once you proceed to the back area, the lot opens up with plenty of space. They have a variety of different and interesting coffee-based lattes to choose from, as well as an assortment of different teas that can be served either hot or iced, sweetened or unsweetened. They also offer a display of different pastries that you can choose from and have warmed out. I've tried fun drinks like their iced banana latte & iced peanut butter latte. The banana tasted a little too artificial for my preference, but their other coffees were as expected. I've been into the shop a few times now, and the one thing I will note is that the service is not consistent. I came on a Friday afternoon and the barista was very helpful while ordering, and brought out all dine-in orders to their tables. When I went in again 2 days later, the cashier still asked if my order was "for here or to-go", but all orders had to be claimed up at the bar. Not sure why they ask for the designation if customers are to get up anyway. I also noticed that on days when flies enter the shop, be weary of the pastries! I saw a few flies that had gotten trapped inside of the pastry case and landed on several of the baked goods. Overall, not a bad coffee shop - the aesthetic is sleek and the drinks are generally as expected. read more

Location and parking is very accessible. Lots of seating for a relaxing morning or study session. Service was nice and accommodating. Answered our questions and provided recommendations. We ordered an iced matcha latte with almond milk and an iced strawberry latte. The best part is their coffee/espresso ice cubes which will never water down their coffee drinks. The matcha latte is already sweetened so it's difficult to adjust the sweetness (which is alright) and their strawberry latte has that natural essence of strawberry with coffee. The bonus is that supposedly their CloverApp point system is connected with the Norwalk location (which we always go-to since it's on the way) so I was able to accumulate points for any rewards. By far, my go-to coffee shop whether it is Buena Park or Norwalk. read more

3.5 Stars. I tried the cinnamon vanilla and the peanut butter top lattes with oat milk, regular size. The cinnamon vanilla was good but pretty standard, while the peanut butter top latte was delicious and incredibly smooth. The lattes themselves were really good and well-made, but they were definitely on the pricier side. They actually might be the most expensive lattes I have ever paid for, and I'm just not sure they were worth the high price tag, despite how good they were. #16 in my Coffeeshop chronicles. read more

I feel like they're probably more known for their matcha, but their coffee definitely deserves some love too.

I was sad that they got rid of their Matcha Passionfruit Tonic (I hope they bring it back!) and was in search for another carbonated drink that wasn't too heavy. The Sparkling Strawberry cooler is a carbonated drink with strawberry puree topped with a lemon. It's simple, but very refreshing and light with a strong strawberry flavor as well as real pieces of strawberry. Would order this again! I also recently had the Banana Matcha Cloud 9 latte. Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan. The matcha is pretty light and it tasted almost a bit watered down. The banana also leaned a bit more on the artificial side and overall was quite expensive at almost $9 with tax. Would probably not order again. Ambiance 7/10 The aesthetic of the cafe is really nice, modern, and clean, but it's always so busy with many people studying. I've been around half a dozen times in the last year and usually come alone or with a friend or two and we always struggle to find seating no matter the time of day. Would still come here to study again, but it can sometimes be a hit or miss.

This visit was on a Thurs morning around 9:30 for a birthday treat. Although they confirmed that…read morethey no longer have a bday promo, I got their in-app purchase of a Tiger Latte as well (my friend enjoyed it made less sweet, and I like that the default is made with oat milk). When you get the app, you can also get $5 automatically applied to your first app purchase. If you ever signed up for their rewards program before downloading the app, they import your points from your phone number account :). My only mild complaint is that the timed order- for-later request did not seem to make too big a difference, as my drink was probably ready 25 minutes early. Better early than late, though! Staff were friendly and informative as always. Shop had a few customers seated inside and outside, so there was plenty of room to study or sit a while. It was a bit cold for me, so probably a good place if you want some strong AC. Music seemed like a millenial-pleasing alternative-y mix: good for nondistracting background sound. Honey Bori Latte is one of my favorite seasonals anywhere! Loved it as intended at full sweetness (not too sweet) and still loved it at less sweet (recommend if enjoying with a bread or pastry imo). I like most specialty barley drinks. Default is dairy, so I assume there would still be some even if made with oat milk ($1 extra). I love the crunchy wheat snack topping, and it kind of reminds me of the cocoa puff topping in that black caf latte in Dland/Galaxy's edge. Will be back!

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.

Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up.

We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.

Understood it's never personal, as we're all strangers, but those hostile, uninviting, bad energy really rubs off on people. Came in for a birthday cake 2 weeks ago and this came bagged up at the order pick up station; the same birthday cake I got today for another loved one didn't come bagged, so after the gal who took my order left for the next guest, I asked the cashier (she had on a different color shirt) for the very big bags they have and yep, same no energy, no smiles vibe. Management, please look out for your team, or find ways to relocate non-customer service people into departments where they don't have to deal with people/face to face interactions. I'm surprised they don't have self ordering kiosks, that'd help a lot of "stressed" employees who don't have the capacity to provide basic customer service and to alleviate a lot of uncomfortable, hostile interactions. Porto's is great- food, pastries, and cakes hardly ever miss. It's always the human interaction part that really messes it up for companies of all sorts. Nothing personal, just sharing my very uncomfortable experience, talk about being unwelcome. Hope those 2 girls end up having a better day and finding their energy and smiles. Actually, shout out to the gal stationed at the entryway, she smiled and said good morning, welcome, hello to everyone walking in. Keep up the great attitude, thank you!

Very Disappointing Experience -- Poor Customer Service…read more A friend of mine came to visit from out of state, and since she had been looking forward to having Korean patbingsu (shaved ice with sweet red beans) while visiting the U.S., we decided to go to Sulbing. We ordered patbingsu, bungeoppang (Korean fish-shaped pastry), and an iced café latte. All three items were placed together on one tray. Before eating, I took a picture to post on Instagram. Then, when I picked up the iced latte to take a sip, the lid came off because it had not been properly secured, and the entire drink spilled all over my clothes. I immediately told the staff that the lid had not been properly closed. Instead of apologizing or offering any help, the employees insisted that they had definitely closed it properly and that they had heard the lid "click." They basically said it was not their fault. What was even more upsetting was that they then walked into the kitchen and left us without offering any assistance at all. We asked for something to clean up the mess, but they told us that the tissues were outside and that it was self-service. They simply handed me a mop and expected me to clean everything myself. I was honestly shocked by the lack of basic courtesy and customer service. I went to the restroom and tried to clean my clothes with water as best I could. When I came back out, I saw the two employees inside the kitchen laughing and chatting together. At that point, I was extremely upset. Despite everything, I stayed because my friend had traveled a long way and had really wanted to try the patbingsu and bungeoppang. We tried to enjoy our food, but the whole experience left a very unpleasant impression. Later, when I looked again at the latte photo I had taken for Instagram before the spill, I could clearly see that the lid was not properly sealed. I don't usually write negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt I needed to share it. Mistakes can happen, and I would have understood if the staff had simply apologized and tried to help. What was most upsetting was the attitude afterward -- no apology, no assistance, and no basic courtesy. I will not be returning to this location.

Ambiance & atmosphere: a cozy little shop perfect for catching up with friends or studying! My friend and I went to study on a Wednesday afternoon and ended up staying for a couple of hours. They had a good music playlist going, so I didn't mind listening to their selection while studying. The noise level was fairly low, but when people were waiting in line or chatting, it could get a bit noisy due to the shop's smaller size. However, it's nothing a good pair of noise-canceling headphones or earbuds can't handle. Coffee: I ordered the iced strawberry latte and loved it! I'm a sucker for anything strawberry-flavored, so the mix of coffee and strawberry was perfect for me. I also appreciated that they used coffee ice cubes, so the drink didn't get watered down as the ice melted. Seating, wifi, and outlets: ample seating was available, especially given the shop's smaller size. The shop had free wifi, perfect for studying. While I didn't use the outlets, I noticed there were a few available, along with some extension cords, which is convenient. Location & parking: conveniently located just down the street from Knott's Berry Farm, with easy parking in their free private lot. Overall: I had a great time studying at this coffee shop and will definitely visit again whenever I'm back in the area. read more

The ambiance at this place left me underwhelmed. While it offers ample seating in a spacious setting, the limited outlets make it a bit inconvenient for those reliant on keeping their devices charged. You need to be lucky enough to get a seat along the walls to get to the extension cords. I will add that parking was a breeze given there were a few restaurants next door. Customer service plays a significant role for me, and unfortunately, the baristas seemed more engaged with each other than with customers. I tried the banana latte, which, disappointingly, lacked any discernible banana flavor. The absence of whipped cream and chocolate drizzle, as seen in Yelp pictures, didn't bother me, but it might be worth noting for those who care. Although I didn't sample the waffles or pastries, they looked enticing and fresh in the display case. Overall, it's not my top choice, but it serves as a decent alternative in the area compared to the spots I usually frequent. read more

Need your K-Pop fix or better yet, just a really great desserts/coffee space? Coffee Code fits the bill. Drinks and desserts are amazing here. I've had both the brown grain smoothie and a strawberry coffee-like drink that were both very good. My friend got the Affogato which is coffee with ice cream and said it was absolutely one of the best desserts he's had in a long time. The mochi waffle here as well (which is exactly what you think it is) was an absolute sugary treat. Also enjoy some cool latte art here as well as well as great dessert design. Parking is usually not too bad in it's small lot and the decor is a mix of a French cafe and a Korean-inspired shop with K-Pop on the TVs. Really, Coffee Code is one of the best little cafes in the area and is well-deserving of your time. read more

Tried to look for a near by coffee shop to get some work down. I didn't want to go to a typical chain so I found this place on Yelp. They were just opening up it seems and there were big lines... Even though it was busy, they took orders really quickly and I noticed they also served hot items. Huge pastries that went well with the coffee. I was amazed at how many people were ordering such sweet and syrupy bread but they were also eating it with fruits so maybe it balances it out. I just ordered a simple iced coffee and the guy who was the barista made good suggestions. Friend got the mocha. It was both pretty good, they also do latte designs so it is pretty aesthetic. The staff was kind and patient. For the busy line they were really efficient and quick on making the menu items. read more

Coffee Code absolutely blew me away! I ordered the strawberry croissant and the horchata latte and both were mind-blowing. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and stuffed with fresh strawberry goodness that made every bite feel like a treat. And that horchata latte? Pure perfection -- smooth, creamy, just the right amount of sweetness with that cinnamon kick that makes you want to sip it forever. The vibe inside is modern, chill, and super inviting. The baristas are quick, friendly, and clearly know their craft. Everything feels elevated here, from the drinks to the pastries to the service. Coffee Code isn't just a coffee shop -- it's an experience you'll want to repeat again and again. 10/10, highly recommend making this your new go-to spot! read more

Very first time coming to Flat White coffee! There's a lot of food places in this area, was looking…read morefor a new caffeine spot, stumbled upon this place. There were a bunch of people here during lunch, but was able to get in and out quickly. Considered their staple double matcha, but it was smaller in portion to the banana matcha which was my number 2 option. Very happy about this, I make matcha at home it was nice switching it up to a new flavor. Maybe the only complaint is the drink was 7.50, but for a smaller spot, it's common. I already signed up for the free rewards, coming back for Matcha next time I'm in the area!

I'm a huge fan of Einspänners. Whenever I see one on a menu, it's usually what I order because I…read morelove how the soft cream gradually melts into the coffee, creating a rich, smooth latte. One thing I've noticed, though, is that at Flat White, the cream is whipped a little too thick. Instead of slowly blending into the iced latte, it just sits on top. Since the drink is cold, the cream doesn't dissolve very well, and by the end I'm left with little clumps of cream floating around instead of a creamy, well-integrated drink. I wish the cream were whipped a little lighter and less dense. That way, it would melt into the coffee more naturally and create that smooth, balanced texture.

Monday to Sunday Cafe

It's so adorable in here!!…read more I stopped in for a coffee and a treat with some old friends this morning, and I had the best time. We went right when it opened and we had some kids with us, and shortly after we arrived many other parties arrived, as well with little kids. It's the place to be on a Monday if you're a mom! I had planned on ordering one of their savory dishes, but when I arrived, I wasn't as hungry as I thought. So I only got a hazelnut latte and a couple pastries. But my hazelnut latte was really delicious and the pastries they had were well-made too. A friend of mine got a breakfast plate and Matcha and she looked really pleased. It's pretty clean inside, there's lots of seating. And lots of space, again if you're bringing strollers or little kids.

Best corn matcha I've tried by far! If you're at The Source and can't decide which cafe to go to,…read moreI'd definitely recommend Monday to Sunday if you're craving a good matcha. The cafe has its own bathrooms, good AC, outlets, and even free barley tea! There's also a free parking structure, which makes it super convenient. The workers are always really nice and the bathrooms have always been clean. It's a nice place to study, but I do find the music a little loud sometimes, so definitely bring noise cancelling headphones if need quiet.

First time coming here! Stopped by this coffee shop with my family and had such a great experience…read more Carl, the owner, helped us out and was incredibly welcoming--he really set the tone for the visit. I ordered a chai and it was amazing--smooth and not overly sweet. We also tried a few pastries the coffee cake, scone, and the cinnamon roll. They were just as flavorful, and hard to stop eating. You can tell there's a lot of care put into both the drinks and the atmosphere here. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

Overall, I'd only give it 2 stars…read more The service wasn't very friendly, and when they served my hot coffee, the lid wasn't properly secured. It almost spilled and burned my hand. The iced coffee was too acidic and lacked a rich coffee aroma and flavor. Also, we didn't get the receipt at all.

Ordered from the kiosk and got a text when the drinks were ready…read more The strawberry thing was yummy. It wasnt too sweet and it was a little salty . But it mightve been the same bread they use for other items. Between banana and blueberry matcha, i prefer the blueberry one. The matcha wasnt bad foe both. Also this place is enormous. They had multiple places to order items. I came when they were closing so they didnt have all the items in stock. Bathrooms are all the way in the back.

Came here on a Wednesday night around 5pm. It's on the further end of The Source plaza on the…read moresecond floor, underneath M Grill and Misoolgwan. There are a lot of tables and it's a good place for students to study or for friends to meet. The interior is VERY big and there are quite a lot of food and drink options. I got the A-Shot-Chu which is a peach iced tea with a shot of espresso. It's pretty good, and I would recommend it. I also got a garlic cream cheese bread, but that was huge! I only ate 2 pieces of the bread and couldn't finish the rest. All of it is self-order on the kiosks, with the baristas and workers behind the scenes.

The staff is nice and fast with their services. I ordered the Toffee Nut latte which was rich, smooth and creamy.

A decent coffee shop with ample seating and minimalistic decor. The staff are friendly and helpful…read more The menu is quite extensive and can get a bit overwhelming, but they're mostly all differently flavored lattes with not too many deviations or signature combinations. The price point is quite cheap (~$5 for a coffee, even cheaper for non-flavored ones) compared to other coffee shops in the area. I would say the coffee here is very milk and sugar forward, though, which makes it easy to drink but may be missing the potent flavor coffee-forward people love. I do love that they have unique scones and giant cookies available which come in different, Korean-inspired flavors like kabocha and sweet potato! The scones do carry too much of that raw flour flavor for me, but I love their giant chocolate walnut cookie. Goes great with one of their lattes with a price that can't be beat!
