I'm not big on overly sweet coffee, so the Activated Charcoal Latte caught my attention. It was perfect, smooth, flavorful, not sweet at all, with a subtle charcoal finish. Basically a really good latte with a unique twist. My boyfriend likes his coffee on the sweeter side and ordered their signature Iced Coconut Caramel. I stole a few sips and it was actually really good, with a nice coconut flavor. Cute, trendy corner spot with a local HB feel, and parking was easy. Service was decent, nothing exceptional, but perfectly fine. Definitely coming back, especially for that charcoal latte.

Friendly vibe with runners, walkers dog lovers and more. Server greeted me and answered my questions with patience. Since it was my first time, I ordered a small iced latte, which comes with two shots of espresso and whole milk. Solid drink. Not super, but I would come back. It would be nice if there was some shaded seating nearby where you see the beach tho.

Stopped by Pacific City and noticed a line outside IYKYK Coffee Lab. Figured that was a good sign,…read moreso we waited--and it was absolutely worth it. We ordered the Dr. Joe (left) and the Bonfire (right). The Dr. Joe had an incredibly smooth, flavorful matcha with a unique blend that wasn't overly sweet. The Bonfire surprised me. At first sip I thought it was just going to be a great-tasting latte, but a little while later the espresso kicked in. Great flavor, quality coffee beans, and a drink that definitely delivers. The shop itself is a vibe. Modern, clean, and welcoming without feeling pretentious. You can tell the staff genuinely care about what they're making. They took their time with every drink, paid attention to the details, and were super friendly throughout the experience. If you're around Huntington Beach or riding through Pacific City, I'd absolutely recommend stopping here. This is definitely getting added to my beach bike morning routine. Highly recommend.

The girl noticed i was struggling holding everything by myself so brought everything to my table. Initially I had a substitute for my drink (latte instead of americano) and they called my name and the same female staff noticed right away even before I got there that the mistake was made. This shows the cafe is responsive and accountable! I will 100% be back. Breakfast burrito was also a DREAM. i don't usually enjoy breakfast burritos because of the way they tend be extremely heavy and oily, but this breakfast burrito was made with fresh ingredients, with nothing frozen. It was also a huge size for the price. Definitely this cafe is the epitome of an HB cafe and can't wait to be back!

I wasn't sure what that was from, but otherwise it was fine. The atmosphere is a fun vibe.

I was disappointed with my first visit to Brew Story - especially since people seem to rave about…read moreit. Brew Story is located in a plaza in Huntington Beach. It is quite packed inside. The atmosphere is modern and sleek. I ordered the earl grey matcha, one of their spring specials. My sister got the sweet corn latte. Understandably, due to the crowd, there was a bit of a wait. When they finally called my name, I only received the earl grey matcha. I figured they were still working on the sweet corn latte and decided to try my drink first. To be honest, it was nasty. I did not like this drink. I think it's the earl grey syrup. It tasted very artificial and had an unpleasant aftertaste. 20 minutes passed with no sign of the sweet corn latte. Eventually, I went to check in with the staff about our missing drink, and they just made it on the spot. I was especially irritated because the staff was making small talk with customers that seemed to be their friends. I don't think that sort of lollygagging is appropriate when there are customers such as myself who were missing drinks from their orders. Perhaps if the staff stayed focus on their jobs during their shifts instead of chit chatting with customers, they would not be forgetting drinks from orders. The sweet corn latte was ok. I did like how there were specks of ground corn in the drink, which made it seem like they used real corn instead of artificial flavoring. I would maybe give Brew Story another shot as people seem to stand by it, but my first experience was not very good at all.

Ordered the following: - Dirty Horchata (Summer Seasonal Menu) - Melona Matcha (Summer Seasonal Menu) - Matcha Meadow - Pistachio Matcha Croissant Got to try their summer seasonal menu! The Dirty Horchata had a nice balance with espresso and spiced horchata base. The Melona Matcha felt light and summery - the mix of the melon and matcha was very interesting and unique but worked well together and was not that sweet. The Matcha Meadow had subtle floral notes from the lavender, but it stayed well-balanced and not overly sweet. I also really like the pistachio matcha croissant - such a good pairing with the drinks!

This place was actually right next to another tea café I reviewed for their mango sticky rice smoothie. Inside it was a little quiet and calm, but plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and work if you're into that type of thing. I came in for what I thought would be a vanilla latte, but when I saw they had Matcha tonic on the menu, I was sold. I also saw a spinach pastry in the enclosure, which I opted for as well. One thing that could be better, which I've also seen in other reviews is that there's no description of their drinks or food items. It would be really helpful if there was a name and description associated with their available offerings. Now that I've made my remark on improvements, let me tell you what they're getting right. This Matcha tonic was everything!!! I'm shamelessly obsessed with Matcha tonic and I've tried a ton in the local area and not everybody makes their Macha tonic the same way. This place does it right. A perfectly carbonated beverage with a quality Matcha pour on top was perfection and then the spinach and cheese pastry I had was a perfect compliment to start my morning. I cannot wait to go back, not so sure when I will switch up my drink, but I'll keep you posted when I'm ready to venture onto something else.

I went around 12:30 pm and it was a packed lot. The store itself was too busy and felt cramped. The space seems suitable for smaller groups. At the time, there was a line before you could order. It took almost 10 minutes for the order to be ready. American Express is accepted here. Sea Salt Coffee: This was on the signature section so I had big expectations for it. It was a very small drink (9 oz). It was slightly salted, tasted bitter, and wasn't sweet despite having condensed milk as an ingredient. It wasn't good. Canale: Despite having to wait for the drink, I needed to wait longer for this because the staff forgot to put it in the order. I needed to wait for them to prepare it in the back and also go back to the counter to charge for it. All to wait for something that was mushy. Coffee Beans: I saw there were coffee beans from Glitch in Japan. It was a brand that I loved there so I wanted to give it a try. I don't usually like fruity notes but this was really delicious. However, it's extremely pricy for how little beans there is.
