As someone who studies in Cerritos pretty often, it can be hard to find a coffee shop with enough seating--especially on a busy Sunday. That's one of the reasons I love Smoking Tiger Bread Factory. Even when it's crowded, there always seem to be enough study spots to find a place to settle in and get work done. The drinks are always fresh and delicious, and the matcha is absolutely chef's kiss! The atmosphere is welcoming, the space is great for studying, and it's become one of my go-to spots when I need a productive study session with a great drink in hand. Highly recommend! read more

Aside from abundant parking spaces as it is located in a big shopping plaza, Smoking Tiger became my favorite place. Grab and go and majority of their breads are fresh. The place is not too loud and crowded which I enjoy. Also very bright inside so it's inviting. read more

I came back after years of not coming here. I thought why not the again. I got their Smoking Spaniard, two mochi like bread one in the shape of a corn and another of a sweet potato and this garlic cream cheese bread that someone in line suggested. Now I forgot how roomy this place is, It's super clean and a great place for a quiet hang out with friends. It was pretty busy when I came which was around 10 am. The drinks were the most ordered from what I've seen. I ordered my drink and it was actually prepared already but my buzzer never rang. I watched what I thought would be my coffee stay there thinking it may be someone else because my buzzer had no buzzed at all. I finally went up to ask where my coffee is just for them to hand me the coffee and say they are waiting on my bread. What bread? It's literally in the bag that I'm holding. So that kind of annoyed me. But things happen. Service was still good like last time. The garlic and cream cheese bread threw me off. The saltiness of the garlic bread with sweet cream cheese worked really well. However there was a bit too much sweet cream cheese for my liking but a combination that worked. The mochi corn had custard and corn. It was pretty good. Not something I'd be addicted to. But it was good. The sweet potato was disappointing. The sweet potato inside tasted like regular potato. Not very sweet. Overall my experience did get better. I want to try these butter mochi I saw next time I go. read more

A Korean style coffee house and bakery that I've come to really enjoy. I've been to the BP location a couple of times, but didn't realize they had a spot open in Cerritos. Big open space that is definitely geared towards people who need to work. Think Starbucks...but with better coffee and even better eats Garlic cream cheese is always fire, and I got to try the Corn Coffee this time. Delicious. If you've had corn snacks or corn ice cream before, that's the flavor profile. Overall, if I'm in the area, it is definitely somewhere I'd like to stop in. Great coffee and pastries with some very nice servers! read more

Great local spot for pastries, drinks, and sandwiches. The ambiance inside is such a plus, perfect for studying or just chilling to enjoy your food if you're not in a rush. The staff are always very friendly and keep the inside clean and tidy. As for the food, their sconkies are to DIE FOR! The Oreo sconkie is one of my all time favorite sweet treats. Also love their mochi, especially the pumpkin when they have it. This is one of those places I love trying something new every time I go because everything is so tasty and high quality. Highly recommend you check them out as they have something for everybody!! read more

Smoking Tiger is worth visiting for the banana milk latte alone. That drink is what brought us in, and it absolutely delivered--it tastes just like banana pudding and is incredibly well done. The self-serve pastry and sandwich selection also looked fresh and tempting, with plenty of variety to choose from. Service can take a bit depending on timing, but the option to order ahead online makes it easy to plan around. A must-try if you're into unique coffee drinks--we'll definitely be back. read more

Smoking Tiger Bread Factory - Cold brew & Banana Milk Latte / 바나나 라떼 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cerritos, California

Super clean inside, friendly staff, and really unique pastries, sandwiches, and drinks. Nice selection of items to go also - latte mix, mugs, shirt, and coffee and tea. The pastries all look very fresh and the refilled the garlic sausage tail I wanted to try when I asked, and offered to warm it up at checkout. Tried that with a ROONG-J (ORIGINAL) pastry and the special YAGU - CANO crisp iced americano with our house-made yuzu mix and tarty Yakult cold foam. Croissants looked amazing. the Yagu Cano seasonal drink was very different with the citrus yuzu and tangy Yakult foam. Very cool spot in Cerritos! Hope they make it to the East Bay if they expand! read more

I really wanted to try their Dubai Chocolate Cookie and it did not disappoint. It was super yummy and had to try their drinks. We came around 2PM in the afternoon and there were some pastries left. There is tons of space to sit and seems like a nice place to study or meet with friends. Definitely would come back again and try more of their baked goods. read more

Amazing space for studying, having a chat with a snack. I was able to try to garlic cream cheese bread 9/10, the purple mochi 6/10, the banana milk matcha 8/10. I recommend going early if you would like to try a few of the pastries. read more

Absolutely love this place! Stop by here after a Pilates class with my mom and I'm so glad we stumbled upon it. The atmosphere is so calm and welcoming, it is definitely a place you can come to work, do homework and get things done. There were a lot of in-home bakery options and they all smelled so good. We grabbed a few things to take home and so far each item has been amazing. When we received our Matcha, the girl asked us if we wanted to make any accommodations to the drinks, which is something new because no other place has asked us this before. Prior to making the Matcha drinks there was no issue with my mom asking if she can have half of the Matcha that they add. Again, this was something other places have not accommodated her for. Overall, all the bakery items were fresh and delicious. Each item has so much flavor! I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking to grab a Matcha and some bakery items. read more

Tried Smoking tiger for the first time years ago in Fullerton while going to college in the area. When I heard of them coming to Cerritos I was so excited. Come here often to do work, lots of space but it gets packed. Strawberry matcha is always amazing, honestly all of their drinks are great. And especially their breads and pastries. So good, great atmosphere, and kind staff. read more

There are some unique and different pastries here at Smoking Tiger that you don't find at other pastry places. The different scones are a nice selection like matcha, ube, blueberry, Earl Grey, etc. and their sconkies are pretty good. One of my fave is the unique kimchee spam n cheese croissant and I also like the Kouign Aman but it always seem to be out. My least fave is probably the garlic cream cheese croissant as it just has way too much cheese in it but yea I can just scoop some out. The matcha drinks are pretty good here along with their coffee drinks. I enjoy the banana latte drink. There always seems to be a lot digital nomads working in the place whenever I visit as I see many laptops out. read more

Came in around 2ish so there was less pastries to choose from but still had a lot of options, really like their cookies. We also tried their tiger latte but still want to go back to try their banana latte and other pastries. Service was really friendly and helpful it being our first time. Will come back to try more. read more

I love coming to this spot in the morning -- it always smells amazing inside and they have a really nice selection of pastries. I always eye their cheesecake but haven't quite pulled the trigger on it yet. My go-to drink is either the Pineapple Express (jasmine tea with pineapple concentrate) or the Tiger Latte -- both are really solid options. The staff is super cool and the drinks come out quickly, which is always a plus. Their pastries are also really delicious and pair perfectly with the drinks. Just a really cozy, reliable place to start the day. read more

This coffee shop has a great selection of Korean baked goods. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a popular spot for people to hang out, study, or even work. I would definitely come back to try more of their baked goods. Service is quite fast too, drinks ordered and came out in a timely manner. read more

Welcoming staff. Bright clean space. Lots of fresh treats and drinks. Look forward to returning.

Food and drinks are okay, staff not friendly or helpful, rushing us to place orders, no recommendations whatsoever, not even a 'hi hello greeting'. just wants to get the job done and get paid. That's it. Nice location tho, plenty of parking. read more

I was super excited to check out Smoking Tiger Bread Factory after trying their San Gabriel Coffee Lab on a previous trip down to SoCal. The Coffee Labs carry some pastries but nowhere near the selection of what they offer at the Bread Factory. We got a huge box of pastries including the spam musubi croissants, salt breads, and garlic cream cheese bread. Everything was delicious, especially once warmed up. The musubi croissants would be my top recommendation here! The fish roe salt bread had a little too much fish roe for my taste, since I wasn't expecting the inside to also be filled with roe. They also have a wide selection of sweet pastries, madeleines and cakes, but I am more of a savory person so we didn't try those. I also ordered the apple cider matcha which was surprisingly delicious and perfect for fall! read more

I really enjoyed this place. We arrived an hour prior to closing and it was still pretty busy. We all ordered a drink and grabbed a pastry. We found an empty table and waited for our orders. I ordered the seasonal peach latte and it was delicious. Make sure to stir it well so that the peach flavoring that is sitting at the bottom mixes well. My cousin had an iced chai and it was delcious. We grabbed a cheesecake to go and it was pretty good as it was not too sweet. The baristas were all friendly as they greeted us and thanked us for stopping by as we left. Wish we had this place in AZ! read more

I probably stop by here more than I should, but the pastries here are just super good! They are always freshly made and have such a unique twist to them. I also love the modern aesthetics of the place, and just how spacious it is. It is definitely a good place to work/study as there are plenty of tables both inside and out to work at. The lines sometimes do get quite long, but it always moves by pretty quickly! From the looks of it, they do rotate some of their bread selections, but I feel whenever I go they always have a consistent few that I always see. If you dine in, they do offer to heat your pastries for you, so that is also a super nice touch. You honestly can't go wrong with any of their pastries. They have a wide selection from cookies, and scones to croissants and breads. Some of the pastries have a bigger twist than others, but for the most part I think they do well to make sure the unique twist compliments the pastries. I really love their croissant and spam masubi cross overs- the one with the kimchi and the one with the jalapeños are my favorite. I love how the saltiness of the spam compliments the crispy and flaky croissant. read more

Smoking Tiger has it all. The branding and aesthetics are on point. Baked good are expensive but many of them are worth it. Drinks are delicioussss.

Yummy bread and pastry selections, along with some pretty good sandwiches, and their delectable drinks - definitely it's the newest spot in the quite busy Cerritos / Artesia area. They have outdoor seating that is pet friendly where you can enjoy a good cup of matcha or coffee along with their oh so yummy buttered, garlic bread. Inside is spacious and clean, staff is super friendly and although their selection of breads are less than that of 85 Degrees; however, the quality of it, in my opinion, outshined that of 85. Definitely my new favorite spot to grab some breads to enjoy with my cup of matcha on their nice, shaded patio. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 5/5 read more

The first time I tried something from Smoking Tiger was at a pastry potluck at the office, and I knew I needed to come get more. It was the potato bread and it was and is spectacular! 5 stars alone for this item. Plenty of parking, not too crowded for a Sunday at 11:30am, but there was a consistent line at the ordering counter the entire 2 hours we were there. So many delectable pastries, cakes, coffees, beverages to choose from. There's also cold and hot sandwiches which I'll have to try next time. Staff is really nice and welcoming. They all vibing with each other which is always nice to see. This location used to be a bank so it's really spacious. It's got high ceilings and lotsa windows with plenty of seating inside as well as outside. Corn latte: Just ok. I didn't really taste the corn. Banana latte: yummmmmm! Potato bread: star of the show, main character energy, 10/10 SO good! I'll be coming here for this, always! Ham and cheese bread: good, not great. Matcha scone: good, but kinda dry, but the bits of mochi and chocolate chips are a pleasant surprise. Strawberry matcha scone: yummm! Cream is super sweet, but yummm! Kimchi musubi croissant: croissant was flaky and delicious. Not much of the kimchi flavor tho. Spam was spamming. Pressed croissant: wonderful! crunchy! not as sweet as I thought it would be, which was great. Oreo scone: yummmmm! Definitely coming back for more! read more

Not my favorite place but I somehow keep coming back because it's a good location and they have a lot of space... Or at least that's what I tell myself but then when I actually show up they're always out of pastries and there's no seats left. I used to really like the mugwort drink they offer but I don't think they have it anymore, at least they didn't have it last time. I tried various coffees, none of which I thought were that good. Last time I was there they got our order wrong. We got a variety of pastries and most of them were dry, as usual. Honestly though, I'm sure I'll come back again because of convenience but it's just not the best in taste or quality. I did see a banana latte I was interested in though! read more

I've tried every other smoking tiger spots, and this one is probably the most aesthetic and biggest location that I've been to! When you walk in, there is a pastry display on the right side with the drinks you can order at the counter. I love the drinks here at Swati, including the corn latte and all the Korean inspired specialty drinks that they make here. I always get their corn latte here with some pastries. All of the pastries are super soft and they make it fresh every day. The seating is both indoors and outdoor patio seating. Great group outings, study dates, or just a quick bread pick up spot. Check them out :) read more

I saw this place looking for matcha in Cerritos. I love the easy parking and the large space to spread out. I ordered the summer matcha latte( peach chunks), it was very good but a little sweet for my liking. The peach blueberry scones are FiRE! They are so good. The matcha scone was a little dry and tasteless for my taste buds. It has a great vibe, very clean and the workers are very welcoming. I definitely would recommend it as a go to spot. read more

I am at Smoking Tiger all of the time! A majority of the time, I am participating in the goodie bags through TooGoodToGo. If you don't know what TooGoodToGo is, it is an app where you can buy unsold food from restaurants and other businesses at a discounted price. This typically means that you wouldn't be able to pick what you get, but it is significantly cheaper. Luckily, everything at Smoking Tiger is good and I am always happy with the blind goodie bags. I got a selection of treats, but most notably this Italian Tuna Salad Sandwich. It is super weird, yet really good! It is a tuna salad with strong flavors of tomato, oregano, and black olives. It strangely works really well together, especially between two slices of their soft, pillowy bread.  If you don't want to gamble with a blind goodie bag, I think their selection of pastries at standard pricing is still very worth it, especially for some of my favorite items like mochi pie. read more

This is location is MUCH bigger than the Whittier and Rowland Heights locations that I've been to, I suppose since this is the "Bread Factory" location and not just a standard Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab. They have their mini cakes here too, which is great if you need to swing by with a smaller cake to a party. Towards the front, there's also a section you can purchase merchandise from, pick out some baked goods, and there is also a refrigerated section with bottled and canned drinks, premade cakes, and other foods. When you check out, you can sign up for their points program and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready if it needs to be warmed up. I feel like all of the locations have updated and I can no longer find my beloved chocolate mugwort latte anymore, but alas. I got another usual go to every time I see it, their banana milk latte. You can get other milk substitutes to for a nominal fee. Nicely sweet and was a decent pick me up. This drink only comes iced, but it's perfect for the warm day that I visited. I opted to get this less sweet and it was the perfect mid day pick me up. I also got their galbi musubi croissant, injeolmi madeleine (wasn't as much soybean powder on top of it compared to past pictures, but oh well), and a corn bread with cream and cornflakes inside. Overall, you can't go wrong with their pastries, not too sweet for the sweet ones and not too salty or oily for the savory ones. Definitely get them toasted. Seating can get a bit crowded, even with the larger location, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to snipe a seat inside. Overall, a solid, albeit busy location. read more

Omg the garlic cream cheese bread is a MUST. I'm not usually one who wants cream cheese but I could not get enough. The bread was so soft. Honey walnut custard bread was also really delicious and a nice sweet to a savory garlic. Spam masubi croissant was a different take but I prefer rice. A premium bread factory that I'd love to come back and enjoy coffee at. read more
