    Iced mocha (pistachio/oatmilk) and iced americano (almond milk/sugar-free vanilla)
    Diana F.

    Drinks are really good. No up-charge for alternative milks! Many places charge for them which is super annoying. Offers are almond, pistachio, and oat milk for lactose intolerant folks. I get my usual iced mocha and do half pistachio milk and half oat milk. So so good. Huge space with a lot of seating and many restrooms.

    I was able to try the Iced Honey Lavender Latte and it was so good. The guy working was doing a good job greeting people and taking orders and fulfilling the orders. The coffee shop is huge with plenty of seats. It wasn't busy nor loud on a Wednesday morning so I would definitely come back to get a coffee and get some work done.

    Obsessed with their chorizo breakfast sandwich. It has avocado!!

    Just here to check in again and let y'all know that golden state still reigns supreme. They have it all, good coffee, good food, good pastries, plenty of seating, and service is always great!

    Cool space with a lot of seating. One of the workers could not be bothered as he was busy talking to his friend the whole time. Coffee was okay, I got the london fog latte and wish it was a little sweeter.

    Very very good coffee with lots of space to sit and chat. The regular menu is solid and the seasonal drinks are very unique. My current favorites are the blackberry tonic and summer camp cookie.

    Phenomenal spot!! The location is in Old Towne Placentia which is already a vibe for me, it reminds me of my home country so much. It's right next to the metro station so there's lots of parking nearby on top of street parking. This was our first time and it did not disappoint! Not only is this place HUGE but it's so nice inside and comfy and such a great spot to hang out with a large group or even come to study! They have the roaster out on the floor as well that you can see behind glass windows which just added to the ambiance inside. The barista was sweet and answered all my questions. Food and drinks came out fast! I am still currently caffeine free so I ordered a hot chocolate with a turkey sausage breakfast sandwich. It was so delicious and hit the right spot!! They also have tapatío in the middle counter in case you need spice like I do. My husband got their famous Spanish latte iced! He said it was on the sweeter side and was glad he also ordered a double shot of espresso on the side to toss into it. So keep in mind you may want to add shots if you like your drinks stronger. He also had the chorizo breakfast sandwich and it was very well made and didn't need any added spice. We will definitely be back here! Such a good hang out spot for large groups!!

    This coffee place is awesome!! There is so much great seating since with outlets, free WiFi, and a clean restroom. They have food, pastries, and delicious coffee. I got a Spanish latte and it was delicious! Great and strong tasting espresso. Staff is also super friendly and there is lots of free parking.

    Super friendly staff in a beautiful antique building with plenty of space to set up to study or meet up with friends. It's located in a historic brick building with nooks and outlets ready to charge a laptop. There's also a large window where you can watch the roasting process happen.

    One of my favorite spots to get coffee and get work done. Tons of small tables and brick walls that absorb sound well. Love the ambiance. Parking is limited right in front the building, but there's a big public parking lot down the street.

    Chorizo brekkie sammie
    Valerie B.

    First time here and less than a mile from the office. Located in a small old town quaint neighborhood of Placentia. There's very limited parking on the street but lots of parking in the back. Located in an old building, inside they have their own roasters with a wide open space for mobile working. Very very large open space by the counter. They have all year long coffees and tea menu and a seasonal menu. Small bite patties and sandwiches are available. Quick to order. The chorizo breakfast sandwich is really good with the chipotle sauce. Seasonal campfire latte is pretty tasty. Wish they had the maple latte on the menu. Maybe next year. I'll soon come again since I know it's close by.

    Dirty matcha latte and avocado toast
    Connie B.

    I used to come here a lot more in the past, then I stopped, but I didn't remember why. Then my most recent visit jogged my memory. The atmosphere and ambiance of this coffee shop is great - I love the brick walls and the spaciousness. Definitely hipster vibes. It looks like it's built to be a place to work and have meetings, but very relaxed at the same time. They also have numerous outlets. On the day I went, I ordered a dirty matcha latte, which isn't on their menu but they said they can do it (just add an espresso shot to their matcha latte). I also ordered an avocado toast. To be honest it seemed like the workers didn't want to be there, because they were very robotic and didn't give any eye contact when I picked up my order. My dirty matcha was incredibly clumpy, which I can't fully blame them for as it was an off-menu item, but it just wasn't great. The avocado toast wasn't even on toasted bread. The wifi connection was horrible, to the point that I just wrote in my journal for an hour or so and left. This is a recurring issue and probably why I stopped coming before. All this being said, if I just came here to grab one of their menu drinks and hang out with a friend or a book, I'm sure that would be a fantastic experience. But as a place to work I'd probably go elsewhere, especially if you need good internet connection. Or use a good hotspot!

    Will Golden State ever offer bigger sizes besides 16oz, I really wish I could get a large 24oz iced latte?

    Tim, sorry for the delay, yes absolutely we sell them in the store. Thanks!

    Hi! Yes, we’re now able to offer limited indoor seating. Our Wi-Fi also reaches the tables located immediately outside our cafe. Hopefully cooler weather will arrive soon! Thanks for reaching out!

    What is the parking situation like? Is there a private lot or is it street parking only?

    Street parking and there's a small lot across the street next to the bridge that goes across the train tracks. If there's no parking (there's always parking), you can park at the public lot off Crowther before Cameron where the bridge is at and…

In both cases they were unable to prepare the food well. Last week I had eggs Benedict and the egg yolks were solid and The English muffin was not really toasted and was cold. I sent the Benedict back but Asked to keep the rest of the food because I was hungry. The girl ignored my Request, Took my entire plate and did not return with the other food on it. I literally waited 10 minutes for them to redo the eggs while my partner finished his breakfast and I had nothing to eat. The Hollandaise sauce was Very Good, but ham on the Benedict was incredibly thin. I've had many eggs Benedict and this was unusual to offer A slice of ham comparable to a thin deli slice. My partner's omelette Was quite Brown but had good veggies in it. His hashbrowns were barely cooked. Today We both ordered a veggie omelette with chicken in my partner's. I made it very clear that my veggie omelette should not be Brown (= overcooked) . The girl read Back our order and she wrote My request very clearly. What arrived at our table was quite a shock! My omelette was definitely Brown and my partner's omelette was dark Brown. My brown omelette had chicken (his order) and his omelette was actually my order and dark brown! I've never seen an omelette served that was that overcooked! How could they possibly ignore the instructions and mixed them up? Add to this that his toast was burnt. Really? You can't prepare Toast properly? When I brought it to their attention one of the girls she said I could see how you might think that as I showed her the burnt toast. She said we have already put everything away in the kitchen and so I don't know that we can do anything about it. We said it would be fine if it's an English muffin but, something that's not burnt. She disappeared into the kitchen for quite a while. Eventually when she resurfaced she brought the unevenly toasted bread, (But not burnt) and proceeded to tell us the following: " If you would get here earlier (We arrived 40 min before closing) we could serve you better" ( I later realized Those must be words from the owner). So if I arrive earlier my food wont be overcooked?Or if I arrive earlier they Have time to correct their mistakes? I knew the kitchen closes at 1:40. Waiting at the counter To ask about soup, I stood for 5 + minutes watching 5 employees move about. Finally I was able to ask and waited another minute or so while she went to go to the Back to ask. Now in line to order the man before me was trying to order (before 1:40) a vegan omelette. The girl said it was too late. He explained he had driven all the way from Riverside and it was still within the timeframe to order. She went back into the kitchen and a woman came out. (the owner? ) . The woman proceeded to chastise the young man for coming in late and trying to order a vegan omelette. She told him he'd done this before and he should get here earlier. He explained that he had not actually ordered but had tried. She said several times that she would make an exception this time but it can't happen again. And she continued to chastise him. Who treats their customers like this? .I literally watched the minutes tick by, wondering if I'd make it before the cutoff. More people entered. . Ah oh, do they know about the cutoff in 1 minute?? The girl behind the counter announced that no more orders would be taken after 1:45. Aw, they were being generous by allowing five more minutes to order. But there's no way these people could get their order in within the next five minutes. Will they say, too late, After they've been waiting in Line? Why not say instead, our kitchen is closing but we will be happy to take your orders. And why not hang a sign on the door that says the kitchen is closed at 1:40 But still accommodate diners's needs? The omelette tasted good but the experience was so negative, Such unkindness, Completely lacking in hospitality.

Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal.

The same could be said of the panini which, aside from the prosciutto, included arugula, garlic aioli, tomato, and mozzarella (it usually comes with roasted bell pepper but I asked to leave that ingredient off). The sandwich came with a pedestrian house salad; some greens with four grape tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. There is a huge free parking structure across the street which makes coming here easy. I thought lunch was okay but I wouldn't make it a priority to return.
