There was a kiosk for ordering, which I used because there was a big group in the line. It does accept American Express. The store seems to have both inside and an outdoor patio on side. It's located in a large plaza with other businesses. For future reference, it seems they have an option to order online to skip the line. It took a few minutes before I could get my sweet corn einspanner. It was worth the wait because it was delicious! I can see why this was listed under their signature section. This is one of the better ones that I've tried!

I ended up getting a coconut matcha cloud because It sounded so refreshing and boy was I right. The coconut water felt so hydrating.

Look forward to coming back and trying more of their drinks.

Atmosphere: 4…read more Although in a very unassuming spot with some weird parking, the interior was very well done. It has a lot of personality with cute murals, their message/purpose on a big board, and coffee beans ground for your education and to be able to smell the grounds before purchase. I only knocked it down from 5 because of the parking more than anything. Menu variation: 5 They have some classics and some fun options. They also have a variety of flavored creams for topping putting them in the 5 ranking for me. Customer Service: 5 I asked a lot of questions upon ordering and the staff was friendly, laughing, having a good time, and helpful. Love to see that in a workplace! Drink quality: 5 I got the iced Dalgona with Cream top with an add shot (it already came as an oat milk base) and my husband got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk and an add shot. Both drinks were DELICIOUS! The cream top was an absolute delight, the little pieces of honeycomb made for a fun little sip and crunchy surprise once and a while, and both coffees were smooth and balanced. Food quality: N/A Price worth it: 5 It's becoming more and more commonplace with our coffee orders that we're paying about $9 a drink with our modifications. This was no different, but since I didn't have to modify the oatmilk it was just a little cheaper than other spots. We will be back if/when in the area! Enjoy your own culinary adventure!

Unfortunately, our first experience at Seesaw Beans & Coffee was extremely disappointing. My…read morehusband and I walked in and stood there waiting to be helped, but no one greeted us or acknowledged us. We felt uncomfortable with the staring and the overall lack of warmth, and after standing there for a while, we decided to leave. What made it especially disappointing is that we are both minorities and genuinely wanted to support a new minority-owned business in the neighborhood. Instead, we walked away feeling completely unwelcome. Before leaving, I brought the experience up to someone who worked there, and the only response I received was, "I'm so sorry." There was no attempt to understand what happened or make us feel differently about the experience. It's really unfortunate that in 2026, people can still walk into a business and feel unwelcome because of the way they are treated. Customer service and simply acknowledging people who walk through your door should be the bare minimum. I really wanted to support this new neighborhood business, but unfortunately, I'll stick with places like Smoking Tiger where we have always felt welcomed and treated with kindness.

Due to friends' recommendation, I visited this store in late night and bought a bag of coffee bean…read more The experience barista assist me to choose the coffee bean based on my desreviptikn and answered the question about brewing the coffee patiently. If you bought a bag of the coffee bean, you will have one complimentary drink. I visited in the next day and had the pullover. Although they have the machine but the barista still hand craft the coffee( they have the pull over machine). Although I did not see it in person, but I tasted the fruity taste and the aroma she did great job! If you have time and would like to have a quality coffee this is the place!

This is really just a friendly note to management. The only thing that turned a great experience into an uncomfortable one was the tipping screen. The suggested options started at 22% and climbed from there. I'm all for tipping, and I appreciate when businesses make it easy with reasonable options. But when the lowest suggested tip starts above and beyond a "normal" amount, it feels less like a suggestion and more like pressure. At 35%, I half expected someone to be outside washing my car while my espresso was pulling. I'd definitely recommend this place for the coffee and pastries. I just hope they reconsider the default tip suggestions. I think that small change would make the experience as enjoyable at the register as it is everywhere else.

One of my favorite details was the instrumental/classical music playing on what looked like an old-school record player. It added such a unique and relaxing touch to the whole experience. I ordered a chai latte and it was really good... warm, comforting and perfect while getting some work done. I honestly hope more people discover this place because it deserves so much more love. If you're looking for a quiet café with a cozy, intentional vibe, this is definitely worth checking out.

There isn't much seating in the shop so can get crowded during peak times. Ordered the following: Biscoff Latte Matcha Einspanner Strawberry Matcha Latte Lemon Bar Mallow Cookies I personally really liked both the matcha einspanner and the biscoff latte. You can taste the coffee plus that slightly sweetness from the biscoff. Also loved their pastries, really liked the lemon bar and mallow cookies! Overall, Haru Cafe is such a cute spot when you are in a mood for a variety of drinks plus something sweet. Definitely would love to come by again.

Cocohodo is a cute little pastry shop that specializes in their yummy red bean walnut pastries…read more I last came here for an after lunch treat and to grab some items to take home. I purchased their smallest bag of walnut pastries and a small size of their Coco Red Bean Shaved Ice. The smallest bag of walnuts is 10 pieces of their cocohodo. They are red bean filled with one walnut in each pastry. They're not too sweet and came out hot to enjoy. If you love red bean and walnuts then you'll enjoy it. They are great with tea. The coco red bean though wasn't what I expected. The shaved ice isn't as soft as bingsoo. It's more like American shaved ice texture. It had red beans, condense milk, mochi balls, walnut shavings, and a tiny scoop of vanilla ice. I appreciate that it wasn't too sweet but it was pretty basic. Nothing crazy good about it. The girl at the counter was really nice and answered all my questions. The food came out fairly quick. Everything was very affordable. I would definitely be back to get more cocohodos. I love that you can get them to eat or they have boxes to gift as well. And they even have other desserts and a full drink menu which includes coffees, matcha, teas, and even smoothies. The inside of this place is casual and clean with plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your treat.

My mouth was literally in heaven with all the flavors. I've also tried their Matcha Cloud and Double, Matcha, both were incredibly smooth and creamy. The matcha was strong and organic without being overly bitter. I asked for 75% sweetness, which was perfectly balanced. I also tried the Hojicha Latte, which has a pleasantly roasted, smoky, and earthy taste that makes it altogether refreshing! The interior was modern, bright, and clean. On top of everything, they have helpful employees and efficient service. Highly recommend, especially if you're a matcha or tea lover! 5/5!

This visit was on a Thurs morning around 9:30 for a birthday treat. Although they confirmed that…read morethey no longer have a bday promo, I got their in-app purchase of a Tiger Latte as well (my friend enjoyed it made less sweet, and I like that the default is made with oat milk). When you get the app, you can also get $5 automatically applied to your first app purchase. If you ever signed up for their rewards program before downloading the app, they import your points from your phone number account :). My only mild complaint is that the timed order- for-later request did not seem to make too big a difference, as my drink was probably ready 25 minutes early. Better early than late, though! Staff were friendly and informative as always. Shop had a few customers seated inside and outside, so there was plenty of room to study or sit a while. It was a bit cold for me, so probably a good place if you want some strong AC. Music seemed like a millenial-pleasing alternative-y mix: good for nondistracting background sound. Honey Bori Latte is one of my favorite seasonals anywhere! Loved it as intended at full sweetness (not too sweet) and still loved it at less sweet (recommend if enjoying with a bread or pastry imo). I like most specialty barley drinks. Default is dairy, so I assume there would still be some even if made with oat milk ($1 extra). I love the crunchy wheat snack topping, and it kind of reminds me of the cocoa puff topping in that black caf latte in Dland/Galaxy's edge. Will be back!

It absolutely pains me to leave a 3 star review for this place. I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.
