Holy sh*t. I was told the food here was good so I decided to try the Chilaquiles Verdes, eggs sunny side up & LET ME TELL YOU. That first bite???? SOOOOO much flavor. BOMB. Got my usual Cookie Butter w/ extra crumbles + cloud. The food is so flavorful I came straight to leave a review, I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED EATING. I'm taking bites while writing this. Hats off to the chefs. Also the employee in the front with the reddish/orange hair was super nice & pretty!

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.

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.

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.

Cookie butter

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!

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 !

Chorizo breakfast burrito
Ciera T.

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!

Menu

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.

Mazapan Latte
Andrea G.

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
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.

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.

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.

The wait wasn't was too bad, because I went at around 18:00 and so the public parking was also free. However, when it came out I was a little surprised to see how clear and colorless it was.

Getting oat milk (or any non-dairy) steamed properly is rarer than it should be, but here it comes out perfectly frothy without a hint of that bitter, scorched taste. Huge win. I got the shaken maple latte and honestly? It was a standout drink. Citrusy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet -- not cloying, not subtle, just balanced. The kind of drink you think about on the drive home. The coffee itself is solid and the craft is clearly there. My only gripe: the prices are a little steep. $8 for a latte adds up fast, especially if you're grabbing drinks for a group. This is firmly a "treat yourself solo" kind of spot rather than a "let me get the whole friend group a round" situation. Go for the experience, enjoy the quality, and maybe leave the group chat at home.

I popped in on a Sunday morning after a brunch nearby and opted for my regular order, a cold brew with a splash of oat milk. My coffee was GREAT and I was really digging the decor and red brick exterior. However, the mood was dampened as the ambiance inside was a little soulless. No music, no laughter. Additionally, the staff was a little moody for my taste. I got decent service but staff were frowning and not having a good time. Maybe I visited on an off-day? However, the shop wasn't busy nor were customers being unpleasant. I just think the band of baristas needed a social check-in. I can see this shop taking off one day and becoming a hit in many cities. I'm rooting for this place, they just need to work out the social kinks. Note: Merch is available for you Blk Dot superfans.

I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking…read morearound because it was so crowded (and also because I got harassed by a neighbor outside who, in his own words, was trying to make people feel not welcome here because he was angry about people coming in and parking in the neighborhood... weird). 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!

Food/Drinks: matcha…read morelatte - not the richest matcha taste or quality and when i got it with oat milk, the oat milk flavor ended up overpowering the matcha a bit. although, it wasn't bad it was still decent to sip on while working! iced caramel macchiato - on the sweeter end of drinks and if you get oat milk it will overpower the taste a bit but still a decent drink banana cream matcha latte - has the creamy texture from the banana cream and surprisingly the banana didn't have a strong artificial banana taste. to me, that's a little rare and in a good way. the matcha isn't a strong matcha taste but still present avocado toast with egg - it was plated and presented nicely which i was kinda surprised about. it tasted decent. the bread is on the softer/soggier end rather than the crispy and toasted end. the sauce and radish overpowers the taste. i got a runny sunny side egg and it was a nice addition for me. service: this spot has one of the nicest helpful service. i was here for a few hours working and despite shift changes, each new staff who was working were so nice and helpful! ambiance: it's such a bright and spacious spot with a few study rooms and many seating. it's bright and has a cozy wooden feel. i love that there are many outlets and it's not overcrowded or too loud. it was the perfect spot to work at!

You never feel rushed, and they're always happy to answer questions or make recommendations. Their new guava matcha is AMAZING! Super unique and refreshing without being overly sweet. I've already convinced a bunch of my friends and family to try Ayer and now they're hooked too. Even my dad, who visits Vietnam often and is very picky about coffee, said he liked the coffee at Ayer even more. I've also purchased their Saigon blend to make Vietnamese coffee at home, and the staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me on how to brew it properly.

Rekindle was at the Taste of Orange this year and I enjoyed one of the Italian sandwich samples they were handing out. It was fantastic! We met the owner - she was very charismatic and charming. Today we stopped by to grab an Italian sandwich, and I just cannot believe they served me bread that was so old and dry - it would have been perfect for croutons, but definitely nothing like what we had at the Taste of Orange. The bread was so dry I had to dress it up with some olive relish to eat it - I don't expect when I pay $31 for a sandwich and chai iced tea latte to get home and have to start working on my sandwich. I accept some responsibility for this, because honestly, who goes to a coffee shop for a sandwich.
