I ordered the wildflower latte and a pretzel breakfast sandwich. Both were fantastic! I'd happily order again or try some of the other enticing items on the menu. It's clean with good seating. There's tons to keep the kids occupied, which is another plus! Easy parking.

Customer service is amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted. Michael, Denise, Ana,…read moreBrandon and Kathrine are amazing! (Sorry if I forgot anyone else, I mainly see them when I'm in) Overall great & efficient service. A good amount of seating indoors and outdoors! The atmosphere is spacious and has good air conditioning on hot days. I love their gluten free banana loaf bread! It's so soft and the banana chunks are mouth watering! They have ceremonial grade matcha; just look at that vibrant green :) They're matcha isn't overly sweet but if you want more sweetener, they're happy to add more. Their seasonal blueberry bliss matcha is really good with chunks of mini berries. I also like how they have a reward system to get points with each purchase for future perks! Highly recommend :)

Cute place to sit down and catch up but can be a little loud inside. The server was really friendly and took the time to answer questions and provide recommendations. They had mushroom type coffee drinks. Ordered the Blueberry Matcha Latte (which was okay) but the Chagaccino was much better in my opinion. First time trying mushroom coffee.

After having lunch nearby, I stopped in for a coffee…read more The interior is small with four tables (two 4-tops and two 2-tops). I ordered a hot smokey maple latte. It was made with bourbon reduction, maple, hickory, sea salt, and of course, espresso & milk. Although I couldn't really taste the bourbon, all the other flavors were present from the sweet maple, smokey hickory, and occasional bursts of sea salt. Oh, and a great roast of coffee. This was a coffee drink I'd come back for again and again. The pastry case looked inviting but I was stuffed from lunch so passed. But dang, they amazed me with that smokey maple latte!

Still a huge fan of Smoking Tiger and here to update my review with new favorites. The staff are…read morealways very friendly! Baked goods - 5/5, I LOVE the new chicken pot pie croissant-like pastry!!! The filling is sooo delicious. Sconkies - 5/5, the scone x cookie hybrid is also a favorite. I like the density and their flavors are so fun and unique! Kimchi musubi croissant - 4/5, is very unique and savory. But can be quite salty, better heated up. Yuzu black tea - 5/5, I appreciate their decaf menu because I don't usually drink coffee or caffeinated teas. This iced tea is my new go-to. I like that it's not as sweet as their usual decaf selection.

Philz Coffee is a wonderful addition to the ever-expanding Brea Mall…read more I've tried their Tiramisu Latte. Surprisingly super smooth for an iced latte. Rich and creamy tiramisu flavor with perfect balance of coffee flavor. Not powdery at all. I've also had their Iced Mint Mojito which is minty and refreshing with bold coffee flavor. My new favorite is their Campfire S'mores. Great blend of coffee & cream, marshmallow swirl, cinnamon, and cocoa flavor. There's also marshmallows on top but haven't actually eaten them as I usually just sip through their lid. Service has been great. Baristas are super friendly. Drinks would arrive within a few minutes. When they hand the drink, they'd tell me to let them know if the drink is perfect or how the drink is. They'll also ask if I would like a lid. There's plenty of indoor seating although usually packed with patrons. There's also a few tables outside. I love their coffee drinks. Will be back for another visit.

The Bottom Line Up Front: In a world filled with…read morecorporations masquerading as sophisticated boutiques, Philz is a growing chain that still retains a cozy atmosphere while serving up great coffee. I've been to other Philz, but this review will focus on this Brea location. The Drink: I got the seasonal salted caramel cold brew and it was delicious. Picture Starbucks' caramel macchiato but less sweet and with less acidic espresso. This Philz drink was smooth and creamy, with enough caffeine kick to keep me powered throughout the day. The Service: Our barista was very knowledgeable and offered a few suggestions and a couple of samples so that I could make the right selection. Grade A service! The Setting: Located in the new section of Brea Mall, this Philz location is a freestanding building so you have to walk outside of the mall to access it from the southwest side. There's no street parking, so you'll need to park in the large parking structure across from Nordstrom (currently...but they are doing more construction so this could change in the future). The Conclusion: As part of a franchise that doesn't act like one, the Brea location of Philz offers great coffee with excellent customer service.

For instance, they had horchata and strawberry & cream lattes. During my hour stay here I went with their hot milk tea. I ended up loving it. It was a little on the sweeter side but it was really yummy and nice. I love that they use organic syrups. I noticed their matchas are ceremonial and they have alternative milks. Everyone I came with enjoyed their drink. The inside is smaller but it is cute. They have 2 larger tables and some smaller sitting areas. I recommend if you are looking for something caffeinated in the area.

It leaves a horrid lingering taste into your mouth. Couldn't finish it and had to throw it away :( Sad to have spent $8 on this. Staff is super sweet and love this place for their other coffee, but I hope they can fix their banana drinks

After reading the reviews, I thought I'd take the risk and give Teatopia a chance and I am so glad I did. We ordered at the kiosk, but failed to notice a posted sign that said they were out of green grape, which is one of the things we ordered. When only one drink came out, the super sweet girl behind the counter offered to make any drink from the menu for us -- regardless of value. MATCHA EINSPANNER: 4/5. Truly surprised by how good this was. Matcha forward, super creamy. 100% sweetness was just right to me. I just found my local spot for when I don't feel like making the trip to GG or Westminster. LYCHEE TEA: 4/5. 100% sweetness here was a little too sweet for me, but my partner loved it. The flavor of the tea itself was delicious.

Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.

Discovered this beautiful coffee spot a month ago and fell in love with their seasonal drinks…read more(strawberry vanilla americano and strawberry cold brew) so we have been coming here as a special treat for ourselves and told and brought our friends. However, today's visit felt different. We ordered our usual strawberry coffee drinks but they weren't pink. When I asked the barista about it she said the syrup has changed. The drinks barely tasted like strawberry and we were disappointed. I immediately regretted upgrading my size to 20oz too. SO I looked up other recent yelp reviews, and I saw that someone posted a picture of their drink 17 hours ago and it was still pink. That makes me question what happened to our drinks.
