The coffee was amazing! The vibe was great! And for the most part the staff was kind and professional. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for that one young female staff member who must have been having a God awful day which I ended up suffering for. Aside from her having a bad day, it was great. read more

Iced Latte delicious and my brother said cold brew good too. Nice atmosphere and friendly people.

Had an iced matcha latte with vanilla cold foam- the cold foam was to die for. Definitely recommend

This has become my favorite coffee shop in the world. Ever. The drinks both warm and iced are excellent. And the ambiance and WiFi are reliable. The baristas are all very welcoming and kind. read more

I've been searching for the best coffee spots in Orange County however this one has by far been my favorite. From the sweetness of the baristas, to the flavorful drinks, to the overall experience. The lobby is quite large, and has various seats to study. The music isn't a bother when it comes to studying, if anything they play the best studying songs in my opinion. Huge shoutout to April & Matthew! Huge sweethearts and were more than willing to help when it came to figuring out what I wanted to order, and their kindness will have me continuing to visit this spot. This was everything I was looking for in a coffee shop, and I was absolutely impressed. read more

Communitea Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Amazing coffee! Great food the breakfast was amazing. Also tried the Matcha that was really good.

I will be terribly remiss if I do not upgrade my previous rating for Communitea from 4 to 5 stars. Coffee in this establishment needs not only to be savored but experienced as well - and I have to admit, its welcoming and friendly environs have won me over! I love the fact that it hosts special events such as a night market, kids' clothing exchange, etc. for the neighborhood. Communitea's eponymous approach to curating an experience that allows for personal connections is indeed a laudable effort. Nicely done! read more

Love Communitea Coffee. The owners and employees are very friendly and flexible with modifications to drinks. Love how they have community events and toys and games for customers and their families . read more

First time here! Friendly service. Viet coffee was on point! My wife loved her brown sugar cookie delight and my daughter got their kids chocolate milk. Warm and homey atmosphere. Perfect place for family coffee time. Plus my daughter spilled her drink -_- and they were nice enough to replace it :) plus their kid space was very cute. 10/10 would come again! read more

Great place to hang out. Good coffee and service. I suppose it can get quite busy when schools are in sessions

This place was so neat. As a mom I really appreciated that they had a little kids play area in the corner, my one year old loved playing with the kitchen while I drank my blue chill pill latte. If you're a mom of littles you will get at least 10 minutes to sip your coffee while they play. The customer service was amazing and I really enjoyed my latte! read more

Absolutely love this place!! I enjoy coffee but I've also switched to drinking more Matcha and decaffeinated drinks. Communitea offers so many options. The chill pill is a great drink and good for you with superfoods. Lavender lemonade is refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. Even just an iced americano tastes 10x better here than that big chain coffee shop, you know who I'm talking about. Their drinks are creative and delicious. Not just that but they have wonderful community events which is more than you can ask out of a good local coffee shop! Thank you Communitea! read more

This is a 5-Star coffee shop burning a whole in my budget! I first met April, the proprietor, when she ran Unfold Yoga. She ran a wonderful business then that brought me some of my closest friendships. When I found out she was opening a coffee shop literally 20 yards from my office building, I was so excited... and yet, apprehensive. As a former snooty-coffee shop barista, I couldn't help but think, "What does a yoga business owner know about coffee?!" Well, it turns out, a lot. The quality of beverage is consistently topnotch. The menu is a mix of classics and more inventive drinks for those who want a variety of flavors in their beverage. I wish it wasn't so good because then it would be less of a temptation to run down between clients. More than the product itself, the atmosphere is delightful. It is warm and welcoming, with a small play area for kids, board games that any aficionado would approve, and a small grassy area just off the patio where kids can play. My kids LOVE the kids-sized hot chocolates that come with fun toppings. This is such a wonderful addition to the community and something I hope to see prosper. read more

Delicious candy cane cold brew! Looking forward to trying other coffee drinks! Nice, quiet location on a Monday morning.

This tea place is so cute. Next to the Brea Mall they encourage you to stay. There are games offered and toys for the littles. The service was excellent and fast. I ordered then non sweetened peach tea, it was wonderful as I could actually taste the peach flavor. I also got a huge chocolate croissant even late in the day it was pillowly and soft and filled with chocolate. read more

Great coffee selection, awesome combinations and quaint vibezzz!!! What more could a girl want? read more

customer service . . we walked in to get a couple lemonades and a iced matcha. we walked in and got weird looks as soon as we ordered the employee that took order said they are closing in 1 min. I responded and said we are just waiting for our drinks and we will leave. got our drinks a min later and my strawberry matcha tasted like nothing but whole milk. I wish they would have just told us they were closing and didnt take our order. the vibes were off. read more

It's nice to have a good coffee/tea spot close to our house. Pros: - friendly and helpful staff - lots of tea options (I like the Iron Goddess of Mercy) - good coffee options (I like the Brown Sugar Cookie Butter cold brew) - has good snacks and treats - small play area for kids - nice big table inside and lots of small tables inside and outside Cons: - I can't think of one...maybe that the parking spots close by can be full..so you have to park a little farther away read more

Communitea Coffee - Hot latte, cold brew and iron goddess of mercy tea (iced) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Communitea is a clean and bright coffee shop with some of the best lattes I've had in the area. I haven't had a better honey latte elsewhere! The staff is friendly and makes great recommendations based on what you usually like. There is a small kids corner to play in. The shops hosts board game nights, a book club, and other fun events. I couldn't be happier this shop is in our community!! read more

Cute hidden gem in the IHop plaza across from Brea Mall! My bestie & I stopped by for a midday coffee after lunch and i ordered one of their Seasonal drinks; and it DID NOT disappoint... absolutely delicious! read more

I've been to Communitea Coffee twice now and have had great experiences both times. It has definitely been added to my rotation of coffee shops. This past visit I had a Spanish Latte with almond milk and it was pretty good. There is plenty of seating, the lighting is perfect, and the music playing create a fulfilling and productive environment. It can get quite loud, especially because there is a small corner dedicated to children with toys and games so bring headphones if you plan to get work done. read more

The coffee is ok, it's pretty good but is it worth what you pay for no not really. I understand there an artisanal vibe to all of the drinks but it's kinda mid. I have gone twice and bought coffee and food just to give the benefit of the doubt. And I could overlook the product quality and value because it's a non-issue and I wouldn't leave a bad review because of that, but the quality of the service is so beyond bad that it's just irritating to think about. The barista's and the female owner are the type of cliquey people that if you're not hip enough or if you don't pose a certain vibe or emulate a look than you just aren't going to get good service. I ordered twice first time the barista was polite but short and I understand that but everyone else who walked in after was treated hospitable and like a guest. The second time the owner took my order and she was curt impolite and just eager to get me out of her line of sight. I try my best to be polite and nice but because I'm nerodivergent I have a hard time socially but being treated rude for no reason is so childish and stupid and I'm sorry for the product and price I would never go again. For a business that wants to front a community equality acceptance type environment it's ironic how much this place picks and chooses who gets this type of treatment. read more

Came in for an oat milk latte and turkey sausage egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. Good latte and decent sandwich. Service was quick and friendly! The space is very inviting considering the color palette they chose. Will come back soon read more

What a lovely and fun cafe. The service is friendly, drinks are yummy and it has a chill vibe. (I have tried hot oat latte, matcha latte and pretzel croissant with egg and ham ) Seating inside and outside. There are board games and a kids corner. They have occasional events too. Woman owned cafe. Check it out :) read more

A friend recommended this new coffee spot so I tried it out today. Upon entering the establishment it was open, bright, modern and had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu was located right when you entered and was clear and provided info on each drink. I was warmly greeted and asked if I had any questions on the menu. I ordered a hot Spanish latte which was creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The coffee was very good with no bitter after taste. There was ample seating and even a kids corner. I will definitely be back to try another beverage! read more

My favorite local coffee shop! The owner, April, is very nice. My wife and I started going here during their soft launch period, and it's been exciting seeing them continue to grow and improve the decor and the menu. Every drink I've tried has been great! My favorite so far is probably an iced chai latte, but I've enjoyed trying different things most times I've been. Definitely recommend Communitea! read more

My new favorite place to stop for coffee when I'm in Brea. I'm a latte drinker and have enjoyed the different lattes I've tried. My new favorite is their seasonal drink dark chocolate strawberry mocha. I recently met up with friends for their board game night and enjoyed the atmosphere. No need to bring your own games, they have lots to choose from. It is also parent friendly. You can enjoy some coffee and your young kiddo can enjoy the kid corner. Highly recommend checking it out read more

Coffee was bomb, came in on a Sunday and the loudest, most immature group had completely taken over the coffee shop while literally, screaming, moaning, wailing and ruining the experience for everyone else. Had to leave and a few others did too. Community is more than a name and everyone should be considerate of others. read more

I love this place. Not only are the drinks good, but it's very welcoming. You could work/study here or just hangout. They have a ton of board games to play and even a little area for children to play, with a fake kitchen. One of the best honey lattes I've ever had. I'll be a regular from now on. read more

Loved it! I don't drink any coffee but my husband convinced me to try their Viet Coffee and it is amazing. The baristas are friendly and welcoming and the place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It has a kid corner for parents with little ones. This is a must try place. read more

Communitea Coffee - Iced latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Very nice little spot, nicely decorated and friendly. Tucked in a corner behind IHOP. Tried their Iced Vanilla latte which was good and the flavor profile was unique, good not great at least for me. Spanish latte was also good not great. Best in mind folks they are still new and working out their recipes, I really hope to see things start to get dishes in at I'm always rooting for small business. Bagel was ok, the taste was very good however the fridge and texture were lacking density and freshness. I'll give them some time to get the kinks worked out and come back for an update. read more

Communitea Coffee - Iced Vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

One of the best brown sugar cold brews I have ever had. It was not too sweet and had the right balance of flavors. There was also a biscoff pastry I could not leave behind. The only regret I had was no getting a bigger size! I'll be back soon!! read more

Easiest 5 stars I've given. Honestly I'm mad at myself for not reviewing this place sooner. As an admitted coffee snob, I'm so happy to have this place near my work. They are coffee PROS, they know what they are doing in all facets: espresso based drinks, pour over, drip coffee, cold brew, you name it. High quality across the board as well with their equipment, coffee suppliers, milk and milk alternatives, flavorings, baked goods, just everything. Not often do coffee shops have it figured out from the jump, but these folks were hitting high levels of service from the onset. Not only are they coffee pros, they are customer service pros too. They have recommendations ready to fire at the hip. They encourage people to try new things while also understanding that not a lot of people know what they want and can steer people in the right direction. Also, the vibes? **** Immaculate **** They spruced up the place in such an awesome way. Plenty of seating inside and outside, with an absolute dope selection of board games for customers to play. And they have a little kids corner with fun toys and whatnot to keep the kiddos entertained. This place hits in literally all areas. Communitea feels just as it says, like a community. Can't help but feel right at home here. I cannot speak highly enough of the ownership and the team of staff that they got over there. Keep it up! read more

Love it! Best coffee ever, was better than Nespresso!!!!!!!!! Also great matcha lates.

Randomly walked in with my tweenager and loved it - the owner April , and the other server were so patient explaining the various beverage options - I had the cappuccino and my tween had the chill pill blue lavender latte which smelled heavenly!! I loved that they had a little play area ( super clean) to entertain small kids, both interior and outside seating, large work tables and a nice collection of board games. Thursdays are board game nights and Sunday is book club And relatively quiet background music so that you could have a conversation or read with your beverage Looking forward to coming back frequently! read more
