Since it was my first time ordering, the person helping me was knowledgeable about the menu and did such a great job guiding me through my choices. I ordered the cinnamon iced latte, and it was SO good--but honestly, the Dubai chocolate cake stole the show. I am a serious chocolate cake lover. I crave chocolate cake often, and this one was absolutely delightful--rich, mouthwatering, and just amazing. I'm already thinking about when I can go back for another slice! Definitely worth a visit!

To be honest the parking is probably the least fortunate aspect of this cafe ambiance: study vibes all the way, nice quiet, good amount of seats, they have outlets, i believe they have wifi as well fun features: the ice is coffee too!

I came here for a first date on Wednesday, July 8, 2pm and overall had a decent experience!…read more The highlight was definitely the coffee. I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.

The Mt. Hoji is the ONLY drink I order here and for good reason. Hojicha, hazelnut syrup, and a…read morehazelnut cream top? Absolutely bomb. Every time I think about trying something else, I end up ordering the Mt. Hoji again. The staff is always chill, the shop is clean, and it's just an easy place to stop by and relax. If you're into hojicha, do yourself a favor and get this drink.

Visited on a Sunday around noon and it wasn't busy at all. I ordered the Mt. Hoji and really liked…read morethe overall flavor profile. It was nutty with a nice hojicha flavor, but the original sweetness level was too sweet for me. They were very kind and offered to remake it half sweet. Since the drink uses a hazelnut sweetener, reducing the sweetness also took away some of the nuttiness that complemented the hojicha. I honestly couldn't decide which version I preferred. The full sweetness had a better nutty flavor, while the half sweet suited my sweetness preference more. I also found the hojicha itself pretty powdery, which was probably my biggest issue with the drink. Overall, I liked the flavors, but there were a few things that kept me from enjoying it. This drink was a miss for me, but I could potentially see myself coming back to give it another chance with a different drink.

I visited 8th Symphony Coffee today as part of my mission to find the best sugar‑free latte while…read morecutting out sugary drinks from my diet. I placed a mobile order, and the process was smooth I received text updates when my order was confirmed and again when it was ready for pickup. The sugar‑free latte was impressive, definitely an 8/10. It was delicious with just a slight aftertaste, which is pretty common for sugar‑free drinks. I've had a few from other spots without that aftertaste, but overall this one was still very enjoyable. My husband ordered his usual hot drip coffee, which we always do when trying new locations so we can compare both iced and hot options. We're still searching for a place that truly satisfies his drip‑coffee cravings this one wasn't quite the winner for him. The staff was friendly, and the café has a good amount of seating, though most tables were taken during our visit. Very quiet and pleasant. Parking was also completely full, so be prepared for a busy lot if you stop by during peak hours.

I really enjoyed my visit this morning to one of the best coffee shops around. 어디서부터 시작해야 할까요? 가게 이름부터가 정말 독특한데, 그 이름만큼이나 이곳이 제공하는 서비스도 특별합니다. 문을 열고 들어서는 순간, 뒤편에서 갓 볶고 갈아내는 커피 원두의 신선한 향이 숨을 멎게 할 만큼 매혹적입니다. 마치 스페인의 거리 한가운데로 순간이동한 듯한 기분이 듭니다. 잠시 눈을 감고 그 분위기를 온전히 느껴보세요. 커피는 정말 정성스럽게 준비되어 한 모금 마실 때마다 행복감이 차오릅니다. 크루아상은 너무 맛있어서 잠시 프랑스에 와 있는 줄 착각할 정도였습니다. 그리고 바나나 브레드도 빼놓을 수 없습니다. 정말 부드럽고 촉촉하면서도 너무나 맛있었습니다. 오늘 아침, 이 지역 최고의 커피숍 중 한 곳을 방문하게 되어 정말 즐거운 시간이었습니다.

The counter's lined with fresh pastries, drinks, and a chalkboard menu full of coffee and breakfast favorites, making it the kind of place you just want to relax in for a while. I ordered the breakfast burrito with ham and bacon, and even though it's on the smaller side, the flavor was absolutely anazing. The tortilla was grilled and tasty, the inside packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, diced potatoes, and that perfect mix of salty ham and smoky bacon. Every bite was full of flavor, and came with a side of jalapeños and homemade hot sauce, it had just the right amount of kick. I really enjoyed this one, and the quality of everything from the ingredients to the presentation made everything fantastic!

The girl at the register (Kathleen) had a terrible attitude from the moment I walked up. She acted like she didn't want to be there and like my presence was an inconvenience. I understand everyone has bad days, but when you're the first person customers interact with to start their morning, customer service matters. Every question I asked was met with attitude, making me feel like I shouldn't even be asking about my order. I definitely won't be returning. The coffee wasn't the greatest, but the service was enough for me to take my business elsewhere. I'd rather go to Starbucks.

It has a charming vibe, and what really stood out was the pour-over coffee, they offer a great selection of blends from around the world, which isn't very common in the area. I especially enjoyed a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, though the cashier felt a bit more reserved, maybe just her personality. Prices are reasonable and in line with other places, and they also have a solid selection of food and other items. Overall, a great find and definitely worth a visit.

The shop is very cute and the team was exceptionally nice, but the food was just too much- too greasy and the mango smoothie I had was a bit too much on the sweet side. For the first meal of the day, everything was just too heavy. I really did appreciate the service, but the food was too rich and I had to throw in the towel.

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.

Yelp did and the One Twelve Caffe did not disappoint! We split a tuna melt panini and a pistachio chocolate croissant and everything was delicious. The service was friendly and the restaurant was well staffed which i feel is rarely the case these days. Usually smaller restaurants like these are understaffed and tables sit unbussed and wiped down for too long. Not here! The inside and outside were really clean and tables were cleared quickly. We actually overstayed our welcome but no one ever hounded us to leave the table. It wasn't packed since it was an early lunch on a Thursday, but it was nice to be able to have our meeting and not feel pressured to leave. I only wish this place was close to me! It's the kind of place you want to go back to over and over! If we meet in Downey again, we know where to go!
