    OMG I love this spot ! Such a hidden gem! If I'm in the OC area you'll definitely catch me here. 1000/10 !! There isn't a bad thing you can order on the menu, coffee wise. They let you adjust the sweetness and the coffee is just amazing. I love my drinks strong so I always order Vietnamese. I've had the Horchata Vietnamese (ordered less sweet), the Ube and the original. It was so good walking back to my car I went back in to order another one.. mind you, these are strong coffees lol Service was friendly and super helpful with the recommendations. Parking was available when I went.

    Horchata Latte
    Kelly M.

    This coffee place looked really appealing from the outside. They have a very interesting menu. I wanted to try the Vietnamese Horchata Latte but they were out of Vietnamese coffee. I got the regular Horchata Latte instead. Their Horchata Latte is very spiced. If you like a strong cinnamon flavor you will like this. But I was expecting a more mild flavor like the Terra Mia and it was not like that. The inside felt pretty empty. They should really put some art on the walls or decor.

    Found this hidden gem and I'm glad I ordered mazaan latte! I really really love the nutty flavor of mazapan! Also, the coffee is strong because it kept me focused on my work after. Parking is a little tricky because the space is very limited. There are no decorations or whatsoever, but I think they are just newly opened. There are some seats outside for you to hang around. The drink came out pretty fast and the staff is friendly.

    I was in the area and needed the caffeine. This place was down the street from my lash appointment so I decided to stop by and check it out. I know there's a second location in SA so I was excited to finally try them. The woman who took my order was nice and helped me decide on their cookie butter latte. She mentioned this was one of their most popular options. She also customized the sweetness to my liking which was perfect! I don't like overly sweet coffee. I really really liked my drink! Will definitely try their other drinks next time. Thanks Hood Coffee!

    Chorizo breakfast burrito

    Friendly customer service, good parking available, and fair prices for the coffee. Food prices are a little high but the portions are huge and the menu packs a lot of flavor. Busy on the weekends so expect a wait for food but well worth it. There is limited seating so expect more of a grab and go but definitely a must try. A down to earth style coffee shop. No frills just good food coffee and people. Coffees are strong and bold but a little on the sweater side. We tried the Spanish latte and espresso nube. Both had great flavor but the espresso nube is great choice for people who don't like their drinks too sweet. A lot of people ordered the horchata viet so that is next on the list, but you can customize the ratios of the drink and the sweetness levels!

    Caramel Macchiato with Cloud Foam
    Joycelyn C.

    Came in on a Wednesday morning around 8AM and there were no other customers. There also weren't much seating inside but they had some outside of their coffee place, although they might be in the works for renovating? I ordered the Caramel Macchiato with a Cloud Foam but I will say make sure you specify the size. They kind of assumed for mine and it was definitely a big drink for me. The drink itself was really delicious but I do wish the foam was creamier. I would love to come back and try their other drinks !

    Visited around 6:15 AM. Customer service was great--10/10. This isn't really a dine-in spot, more of a hole-in-the-wall for good coffee and quick bites like burritos and pastries. I ordered the Vietnamese horchata iced coffee and a steak burrito. The order came out fast. The first couple of sips of the coffee were amazing, but the more I drank it, the stronger a tequila-like/alcohol taste became, to the point where it was unbearable. I've had Vietnamese coffee before, but this was my first time experiencing something like that, and I ended up dumping it. Total was about $25 ($8 for the coffee, $15 for the burrito). A bit pricey, but the burrito was loaded and filling. My only issue was the potatoes, they were cut way too large. It was decent, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, the place is decent, but I was really disappointed by the strange coffee taste.

    Cookie butter latte
    Alejandra B.

    We stopped by because this place caught my girlfriend's attention after seeing it a while back on TikTok and we saw it had good ratings on yelp. The drinks were absolutely delicious. I ordered the cookie butter latte and she ordered the horchata matcha. Both were extremely flavorful and well balanced; I didn't feel like I was drinking watered down milk and sugar hahaha. The guy who attended us as well as the guy who gave us our drinks were both friendly. I work in the area and I would definitely come back.

    Mazapan Latte

    This coffee shop is sooo cool! There's lot of fun menu items to choose from and even a little panaderia selection!

    Cookie butter latte - $8.50

    Hood Coffee is reasonably priced coffee shop located near the Orange circle. They offer lattes and horchata / Vietnamese coffee drinks as well as some baked good. Although when I arrived at around 1pm on a weekday the offerings looked limited and not that appealing. However the place was packed and there was a consistent stream of people coming and going. Cookie butter latte ($8.00 + $.50 processing fee - 24 oz.) - Made with real biscoff this latte had a robust coffee flavor and chunks of biscoff. I should have asked for light ice because there was too much ice for my liking. However I did enjoy the drink and it was made in a timely manner. Overall I was impressed with the drink offerings here. If I came back I would like to try the horchata Vietnamese coffee as I heard good things about that one. Seating is limited to 2 tables outside and a few seats inside.

    Strong coffee for an affordable price? Count me in. Tried this place out by the recommendation of my coworkers and I was not disappointed. Got the Horchata Vietnamese coffee and it was a delectable blend of sweet and strong. I did find the decor a bit in need of some care as it looked like random house furniture brought in. But service was excellent and flavors were plenty.

    We ordered the Lavender Lemonade and Passion Dragon Fruit refreshers and we did order some food. Chilaquiles were good, chorizo burrito was meh! it was ordered without cheese and the lady who took orders even repeated it back "no cheese". Well the burrito definitely had cheese, chilaquiles was good but the presentation was very questionable. The refreshers were so so delicious! however their service is horrible. As we walked in, no greeting or anything just "you guys ready to order" ok not that big of a deal, order was taken and repeated back but still it was incorrect. As we left I walked inside to throw my trash out I said "thank you, have a good one!" The lady didn't even bother to unlock eyes or pause her conversation with guy hanging out on the other side of the counter. It's the settle things that do it, being nice a simple greeting goes a long way!

    Came across hood coffee on Yelp and absolutely loved it! I ordered the mazipan latte after the lady at the register said it was her favorite drink. It was slightly on the sweeter side so I asked them to add a little bit more oat milk. The guy was very nice and asked if it was too strong or sweet which shows me they are willing to listen to feedback and improve. The coffee was strong, but it was just what I needed!! Can't wait to try out all their other flavors.

For food they only had pastries but for coffee and matcha lots of interesting options. They have beans from various parts of the World, but mainly Norway!!! We got really excited about this. We ordered a Volcano Latte and a regular latte. The Volcano latte had an explosion of flavors topped with a smoked salted foam out of this world. My new favorite.

One thing to keep in mind is that parking isn't free, and depending on the time of day, it can be a little challenging to find parking if you're just stopping by for coffee. I tried two different lattes and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. Yuli, the barista, truly did her best to make it right and was so sweet, which I wholeheartedly appreciated. Her service alone made me want to give this spot a higher rating. That said, the lattes were a 2/5 for me. They tasted too milky, and the coffee had an aftertaste I personally wasn't fond of.

The coffee is delicious when served sweet and creamy and the staff is always nice to adjust your drink if you don't like it. I typically order the Iced Mint Mojito as its fresh, sweet, delicious and comes with fresh mint! This time I opted for the new seasonal Cashew Cocoa. This drink was also delicious, but a little too sweet for me, and if you don't like cashew milk I would opt for a different beverage. The pastries are on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you order the almond croissant or cinnamon roll, but the flavor is there. The blueberry muffin was probably my favorite as it was so moist and paired well with my coffee. This Orange establishment is nice and offers games (like most Philz') so you and your friends/family can play, while enjoying a coffee or pastry. The company even offers used coffee ground to take home for your garden - a full recycle moment! The staff is always pleasant and friendly, and each barista usually has a name tag in front of their station. If the place is busy (and it can be busy) you can also order online for a quick grab and go! The coffee, staff, and atmosphere keep me visiting the delicious Philz Coffee. Thank you!

Every time I come in, there are 5 to 6 employees behind the counter, but more than half of them are just standing around talking and laughing. It creates a distracting environment for the few people who are actually trying to work, and it shows in how slow and disorganized everything feels. What really pushed me to write this review is how often the app is completely inaccurate. I'll get a notification saying my drink is ready, only to show up and find that it hasn't even been started yet. Meanwhile, the person who is supposed to be making drinks is busy chatting with coworkers instead of focusing on orders. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's become a pattern, and nothing seems to improve. Long waits, lack of urgency, and poor communication make the whole experience frustrating, especially when you're paying premium prices for coffee. I used to enjoy coming here, but the repeated lack of professionalism and attention to customers has really turned me off. Hopefully management steps in and addresses this, because right now it feels like customers are not a priority at all.

Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

The cream top was so good, and the roasted nuts on top completely elevated the drink. I was genuinely surprised by how much they added--such a perfect finishing touch.
