    5/1/2026 SET-SPANNER I came to Set to try this drink. I just wanted to try something new and different and sadly, this drink did not deliver. It did have a strong hazelnut coffee flavor right off the bat, but it all went downhill from there. The injeolmi cold foam on top did taste like soybean powder, but flavor was not as strong as I hoped. And because of the nature of the soybean powder, it was grainy in texture. When mixed all together, it vaguely tastes like biscoff coffee. But the injeolmi cold foam was so thick and some parts of it sat at the bottom of the drink and texture felt disgusting as you drink it. I did mix it, but still, it was just not what I wanted as an overall texture and mouthfeel. Given the name, it seems it's their signature drink too. There were pastries sold as well, but most of it were sold out. Since we also had to pay in cash because their computers were down, I decided against purchasing anything more. CUSTOMER SERVICE Just as I got there in the late afternoon, there were so many factors working against my experience at Set, the computer system was down, so they could not accept credit cards, so only cash was accepted. They apologized for it, but that meant the wait time was much longer than expected. Another factor, it seems they only had one barista working today, which made the wait time super long! Then, I was the very last person to receive my drink out of everyone who came in the afternoon. I believe there were people who came after me that got their drinks before me, which contributed to an even unhappier experience. So many negative factors contributed to my negative experience. And then... the coffee. SEATS/ AMBIANCE Right at the front, there's three long communal tables at the front and most of the seats were taken. In the back there are more seats and tables. But it was in disarray. It was messy and disorganized. Wish staff took care of this space better. Slow jams, R&B playing in the background really loudly. The music selections were good, just LOUD. PARKING Located at an outdoor mall, so there's plenty of parking all around. Will I be back? Most likely not.

    SET Coffee had a decent amount of parking in front of the store. Although it is located in a large plaza, the stores next to it don't have a lot of foot traffic, from what I saw. Upon walking in, there was a long table to the left, full of people doing work on their laptops. We assumed that all the seats were taken. To our surprise, there were more spots in the back area of the coffee shop, with no one sitting there at all. It had dim lighting, aesthetic, fake olive trees, and a large mirror. The coffee barista taking our order was very nice, but we couldn't hear him at all. We ended up ordering their SET tonic and their SET latte. Their tonic was made with green plum, which is different than the common Yuzu. The turn around time for drinks was under five minutes. We brought out drinks to the back and took some photos. The seating arrangement was quite uncomfortable, although the seats had a purpose; you can sit and do work in numerous ways, giving creative room for comfortability. Yet, to sit normally, I don't imagine myself doing work there. The drinks weren't special and I felt as though I could get the same latte at a generic coffee shop. Nothing about my latte made it stand out or memorable. The coffee is strong, which is different than other lattes. I can say I'm slightly disappointed. Nevertheless, it's an aesthetically pleasing shop, but I don't expect myself to come back for another visit.

    Hands down!!!! Our Chino Hills & Chino area is getting more viral for coffee spots Set coffee here such aesthetic vibes Honestly, bigger café energy than most cafés in LA! This is our Chino Hills café scene Korean soft salt bread also wins, especially paired with coffee or matcha they even have a kid's menu!! IG: socalhkfoodies

    Ordered togo coffee on 5/9/26 around 10:30 am. There was a wait for this coffee shop. Even if you have to wait, you are waiting in the shade so that's not too bad. Ambiance: Chill spot to sit down and just hang out. I like their back area. Pretty cool. Parking: plenty of parking Drink: Kyoto Cold Brew - 4/5, not too strong of coffee flavor and light. Worth trying just once, but I want to try their other flavors next time

    I had a below average experience at SET Coffee (Chino). I ordered the Set-Spanner ($7.25). It's Injeolmi Cold Foam, Espresso, and Hazelnut. The drink will wake you up. However, it tastes like watered down, gritty, nutty protein powder. It tastes poorly prepared and frugal. I arrived at SET Coffee (Chino) on Monday (around 9:16AM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. Staff is friendly and welcoming. However, it's strange how I had to tell Staff that their charged price didn't match the menu price (ex: cash register said $7.50 while menu said $7.25). Staff immediately apologized and fixed the issue; Staff explained that they didn't update the system yet.... My drink took about two minutes. Fast. As mentioned, I disliked the Set-Spanner ($7.25). It all tastes like budget cuts. The ice is HUGE and PACKED; the coffee flavor is heavily watered down; and the prevailing flavor is bitter nutty grits. Fortunately, the enduring caffeine has utility. Thankfully, SET Coffee (Chino) is a study/work paradise. I can easily understand desperate college students using this place. There's about eight electrical outlets! AMAZING!! There's also customer internet with password; details are written on the counter's barrier in white ink. The location also has an attractive hidden backroom which has cute greenery and sleek reflective decor. The utility of the space is what saves this experience. In addition, SET Coffee (Chino) has a self-service water station. There's also a gender neutral restroom, and I enjoyed the smooth, rhythmic music. The location is also clean and well-ventilated. Overall, SET Coffee (Chino) is a HUGE disappointment. It's not awful, but in good conscience, I won't ever recommend this location as is. In the end, I left SET Coffee (Chino) with a fake smile and a bitter heart. 2.9 out of 5

    There's a lot of hype around Set with lines outside the door and for good reason. In a boom of coffee shops in the Chino/Chino Hills area, I keep coming back for the Set latte. Always bustling with people studying, talking, or just Vibing, you really feel a vibe inside that's enjoyable and relaxing.

    Saw this just opened recently so decided to check them out. It is a nice looking coffee spot. Interior looks pretty cool. Besides the main area they also have some more seating in the back. I ordered the Strawberry Fizzy Lemonade. Drink came out so quick. The staffs were chill and friendly. I enjoyed my drink. It was good and refreshing.

    Saw that this cafe opened and wanted to give it a try. This place is great!! First, the drinks have been really good. I've been able to come by a few times and try a few different ones. The SET Latte is really good, it's sweet and maintains a nice coffee flavor. I love the thickness of the cold foam in the SET-Spanner as well. I've also ordered a Cortado and was impressed! Beyond drinks, they have pastries, which looked great. Honestly, what I like most about this cafe is the environment. This is a great place to do work, study, or just hang out. There are plenty of tables to sit at and outlets at each table in the front room, so you can charge your laptop or phone. The clean, minimalist decor throughout the cafe is nice (love all the vinyl albums they put up!). The large windows in front bring in a lot of light, which is nice if you're working or hanging there for a while. The back room is really cool too, it feels like a separate little pocket with a lot of seating as well. The staff have been very friendly and helpful when I've asked any questions or for recommendations. The wait has for my drinks has been short as well. Parking was very easy to find outside the cafe. I'll be back and definitely recommend this cafe to anyone looking for great coffee and good place to work/relax!

    Right atmosphere, A1 coffee, efficient service. What more can you ask for from a new coffee shop making its debut in Chino Hills? Was lucky enough to check this spot out before their grand opening day. Came back during the actual day and line was reminiscent of Black Friday. But that really just speaks to the anticipation and success of a well thought out space. I don't know if I can ever explore more of their menu because I'm still stuck on their Set Spanner. Congrats to the crew! I'll be back as a repeat customer.

    Honestly loved the vibe here. It's minimal, clean, and feels like one of those spots you accidentally end up staying longer than planned. The drinks were solid, really smooth and not overly sugary like a lot of places. You can tell there's some intention behind their menu and flavors. Also appreciated how quick everything was without feeling rushed. Staff was nice, and the overall experience just felt easy. Would definitely come back for a chill coffee run or to sit and catch up with a friend.

    Amazing quality, everything was super tasty and honestly just really well done. The set-spanner is out of this world and easily one of the best drinks I've had. The ube matcha is the best matcha I've ever tried, the flavor is so smooth and different in a good way. The shop itself is super unique and the layout is amazing. They have a nice study area if you want to get work done and also a more social community space which is a cool balance. Their merch is actually really high quality too, I ended up buying a jacket and I'm really happy with it. Staff and owners are some of the best, super welcoming and you can tell they care about what they're building. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

    Set coffee is an amazing place for your coffee desires. I loved learning about the backstory of their name being "Set" the number 3 in Korean for the three founders of this shop. The decor inside is relaxing for you and your party to unplug and enjoy each other's company. It is a delight to be inside with great music that sets you in a pleasant mood. There is a new back room area for bigger groups or even events. The line was out the door when we arrived, but the staff moved so fast that we barely waited. The coffee was very good. We ordered all three of the signature drinks, and the Set Spanner was the star of the show. It was crafted after a Korean rice cake dish, and they nailed it to perfection. The tonic coffee was also great. I am a fan of sparkling water so it was great for me. The pastries are also good. The salt bread with garlic cream is a must try.

    SET Coffee is one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've ever been to. The front seating area has beautiful and large tables with bright lighting but the area in the back is warm and homey, like a comfort space. I felt like I was transported to a completely different space with their aesthetic & high ceilings. Service was friendly and welcoming upon entry and the space was remarkably clean. Drinks are reasonably priced, not too much ice and appropriate sizing yay! Set Spanner (8/10): The coffee in this was sooo yum. The cold foam really does taste like injeolmi haha which unfamiliar (at least in coffee for me) but pleasant! Set Latte (7.5/10): Liked the cinnamon in this! It wasn't too overbearing, complimented the brown sugar and honey very well. Reminded me a little of a Spanish Latte. Matcha Einspanner (8/10): Decent matcha, I wouldn't say my favorite but I would still get it again. I like their cold foam it wasn't too thick and was delicious. Strawberry Matcha (8.5/10): Whatever they use for the strawberry flavor complimented the matcha taste well and was very refreshing. Excited to see this place flourish in Chino and would make the drive for another visit!

    this is honestly my #1 favorite local coffee shop. i always hype this place up. it helps that it's…read moreless than 10 minutes from my work. i recommend to always order ahead on their website so that your order is ready quickly because the inside is very small. i love how they have so many drink and food options with both sweet and savory choices. they also have snacks near the ordering kiosk. if you really like their coffee, you can also buy their beans here. my go to drink is the mayan mocha. this store made me obsessed with mocha drinks and the way the chocolate and spice compliments the espresso is so delicious. i've tried many variations of sweetness and milks and it always tastes good. i've had their other coffees before and they're also all delicious. i haven't tried their matcha yet because i come here for the coffee. i just realllyyyy love the taste of the coffee beans used here and all the various latte flavors. my favorite food here is the spicy chicken avocado panini. you can choose your side to go with it but i usually choose kale with a side of spicy mayo. it's always perfectly crispy and the flavors go so well together. i have tried some other sweet and savory options and they're all a hit. you can't really go wrong with anything here. the inside is a really small store but it's perfect to eat at quickly before heading to work or while on break if you're solo. not a great place to study or chat with friends. they do have a small bar table inside with 3 seats and 1 or 2 small tables outside with chairs. absolutely love this place. the taste and quality of every food and drink is amazing!

    Came across this shop randomly. It's super tiny inside, no restroom. They have 2 tiny round tables…read moreoutside with 2 chairs each but it crowds the entrance of the shop. Inside there are some stools but again very crowded. Definitely a grab & go vs stay and relax or hangout. I ordered from the kiosk since there was a line. Got the Spanish Latte iced, strawberry matcha iced and a jalapeno cheddar bagel with cream cheese. I wish they had other options than just jalapeno cheddar for the bagel since my fiance is allergic to cheese. The drinks and bagel seemed averagely priced. When I saw the drinks they looked really small. The Spanish latte was on the more bitter side but overall good.

    The weekend brunch menu and drinks are to drool over and spectacular to have as a treat-yourself…read morekind of meal. I met up with a friend at Wara Cafe and we had the best time sipping on our Shrek Lattes and eating their Croffles. We ordered the Shrek Latte (Hot) and Shrek Latte (Cold) as our drinks, and both got the Croffle w/ Mixed Berries, Fresh Whipped Cream, Hazelnut Drizzle, and because it was the weekend and my stomach begs for brunch food, I also got their Classic Breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, side of toast, and salad. Let me tell you and stop you right in your tracks if you're looking at other things on their menu. Their Croffle is top of the line, the best croffle invention I have ever had, and gave me another reason to exist and enjoy life, just so I can eat their Croffles. If you are wondering what it is, it's like a dessert fusion breakfast item in between a croissant and a waffle pressed in a waffle iron. This makes an airy, buttery, crunchy, waffle bite, and it's got me drooling as I am typing this hungry. They pair it here with mixed berries, and their house-made fresh whipped cream. The whipped cream is another story I need to say, because I originally thought it was too much since its a size of an ice cream scoop, but I finished the whole thing and enjoyed every bite of it since it is also one of the best fresh whipped creams I have had. Just get the croffle, OK? 100% gauranteed you will love it and thank me later, please. Also, if I may convince you of another thing. If you love matcha and cinnamon, it is no doubt you will love their Shrek Latte. I read "Matcha, brown sugar, and cinnamon, as their description, and I was immediately sold. Sign me up for another Shrek Latte please, and I'll change my name to Fiona. I absolutely loved it and would order again. The staff here are also beyond friendly, and genuinely sweet. They checked on my friend and I every now and then and made sure we were taken care of. They are all so beautiful, and have such great smiles. I can see why the wait line was so long! I would come back every weekend if I were closer to Wara Cafe, but it just gives me more reason to bring another friend along and make the trip out here. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. My friend and I left with full tummies and a big smile. Thank you!

    highlights: - very friendly and attentive staff…read more - food presentation was great - taste of the food was good and the serving size was good - seated quickly cons: - the wait for the food was exceptionally long, my friend and I waited around 40~45min for two breakfast dishes - the food was very good but the wait is something to account for - price was around average but more on the expensive side around ~$20 per person overall: would visit again, but would plan around the wait time, other than that, this restaurant was good!
