    Berries and Cream (Summer '26 Seasonal drink)
    Francisco M.

    There's a lot parking to get here. Inside has a good amount of seating. It's very chill here and could be great to study. The staff are nice and helpful. They were informative on the drinks and gave tips about the drinks. The drink was ready at a good time. I got the berries and cream (summer '26 seasonal). It was pretty good! Great for a hot day. Good amount of ice. Not too sweet. You get the berry flavors. I'd return to try more of their menu and cakes!

    My friend and I came here on a Tuesday around 11am. Right away, I was struck by the interior design. The wood accents and Korean details make the space feel both traditional and modern. I also liked picking a table by the window because it meant that my seat was naturally warmed up by the sun. I had a hard time picking what to eat, partly because everything looked so good, and partly because no ingredients were listed. I thought that the Mochi Pie would have a mochi filling, but it turned out to be mochi flour with lots of beans and nuts. It was so dense, I ended up sharing with my friend. Next time, I would come back with a book or my laptop. Everyone seemed to be studying or working, so it was nice and quiet. The bathroom was also big and clean.

    Much like their other locations, all or their items are just great. Same quality and types of items from some of their other locations. Staff is helpful, location is clean and great to do work in for a few hours. Parking can be sparse depending on what time you come in but my first time here absolutely blew my mind and I can't wait to come back!

    The coffee quality was great and the pastry tasted fresh. I've tried their corn and banana latte but you can't go wrong with any of their drinks, in my opinion. It's also very spacious inside. Good for meeting with friends or studying. Customer service was also good and my order came out quickly. I recommend this place!

    This is my favorite coffee shop in Buena Park. The parking lot is spacious and convenient. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and you can sit and enjoy your coffee at the tables. The staff are very nice and welcoming. They offer a wide variety of coffee, with lots of options to choose from. My favorites are the banana milk latte and the corn latte. Both are signature drinks and definitely worth trying. They also have a good selection of baked goods. The scones and garlic bread are especially tasty. The facilities feel a bit outdated and could use some remodeling. The restroom, in particular, is old and not very clean. Service is good. If you order online, they prepare your drink ahead of time and keep it chilled in the fridge until pickup, which is a nice touch.

    I really only come here for their drinks. Corn latte is my go-to! Seems like a weird combo right? I thought it was but I was curious so I gave it a try and it is yum yum yum! Reminds me of the taste of Corn Pops cereal! It's perfectly sweet, balanced and surprisingly works as a combo! Not a huge fan of their pastries. They never really wowed me and some are quite dry. However, I tried their chewy cookie set today and that is def a repeat purchase.The Dubai choco and black sesame were my fave. The outer marshmallow layer isn't too thick and the filling isn't overly sweet. I love the combo of textures from the soft outer layer to the crunchy kadayif filling. A little on the pricey side so it'll be a once in a while treat. They also have a unique cake selection. Those caught my eye today and I'll have to try those next! Service was friendly and you can put in your number for points. Give them a try!

    APT (Apple Tea)
    Allison P.

    This review is a bit belated, but better late than never! I tried out their APT (Apple Tea) which was a seasonal drink from their fall 2025 menu. I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be so yummy! APT is a tea blend of apple, yuzu, and mint. I love a unique and refreshing fruit blend! You can also get this iced or hot. As a whole, Smoking Tiger is expanding rapidly across OC/LA. With strong identity, branding, and an ever evolving menu (drinks & breads!), they're always a solid choice if you're looking for a new coffee shop to try.

    Honey Ube Latte
    Lyane P.

    Ordered a Honey Ube Latte from their special seasonal menu and it was perfect! I am usually a "sipper" but I gulped this drink! It has a wonderful balance of sweetness with the espresso. Service was friendly and fast. Seating is never an issue with a number of tables indoors and a few outdoors too. Only one size (20 oz) available for $7.

    I've been coming here for a long time, and I can confidently say this is one of the best coffee spots around. The space is very spacious with plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great place to sit, catch up with someone, or get some work done. The atmosphere is always welcoming and comfortable. They also offer a wide selection of pastries you can grab and bring up to the counter, which pairs perfectly with their drinks. The coffee is consistently amazing every time! Definitely a must try if you're in the area.

    Smoking Tiger has secured its spot in my top 3 coffee shops since they first opened at this location in BP. I love their signature Tiger latte and they have a solid iced corn latte. Recently stopped by when I was in the area and finally got to try the viral Dubai mochi cookie!!! My fiancé was so excited... to not have to hear about my fantasizing about the Dubai mochi cookie again. Little does he know, I'm even more obsessed after trying Smoking Tiger's delicious recipe, LOL. I've tried their matcha mochi cookie as well, and it seems they nailed their mochi pastries down. Love how this particular location has a lot of places to sit and enjoy the pastries and bread whilst studying or hanging out. Would love to try their bagels as well. I will continue to support this coffee shop with my coffee addiction. Thank you!

    Got some sort of garlic cream cheese bread and sweet potato bread. Both were heated up and we were there first thing in the morning. The sweet potato bread was weird to me. It just felt like a multigrain, dense baguette that was scooped out of the insides and mashed up goguma was placed inside. Then they crème bruleed the top. The baguette texture competed with the texture of the goguma. A softer, fluffier bread would've bee a better choice in my opinion. Sadly, it only got worse from there. The garlic cream cheese bread was dense and grossly sweet. Even worse, one wedge into it, we saw a short hair buried in the cream cheese filling. I didn't bother asking for a refund or exchange because I already lost my appetite and knew I wasn't going to bother coming back. Also got a misugaru latte and...it didn't taste anything like misugaru. I took two sips and just dumped the rest of the drink. Long story short, got three items and disliked all three items. Genuinely confused by the high reviews for this place and don't understand the hype.

    Smoking tiger is so good! My go-to is the brown sugar shaken espresso but today I tried 2 of their signature drinks- the banana latte & corn latte. They were both really good! The barista was so kind & told us that the corn is really good and tastes sweet! Looking forward to visiting again soon

    Haiku: Smoking Tiger Bread Coffee and baked goods Modern, Korean cafe Hanok-design spot. --- Smoking Tiger has become a favorite bakery spot of mine in the area. Their well-crafted pastries are Asian-inspired and have unique flavors. I've been back many times since and bought a variety of items to try. My faves so far: - Salt Bread: An unassuming bread that's magnificently rolled with salted butter into the inside. What makes it stand out is the light and crispy outside and a pillowy-soft, hollow inside. - Chubby Cheesecake: It's creamy, slightly tangy, and not-too-sweet. Perfect to enjoy with coffee or matcha. - Black Sesame Kouign-amann: This is such a delight. It's as if a puff pastry and croissant had a baby to make this crispy and flaky item. The outer shell has a thin sugar glaze, and the inside is filled with black sesame cream. - Potato Bacon Bits Bread: Such a unique bakery item! It's like a loaded baked potato stuffed inside a soft, fluffy bread. Service is sweet and swift. The store is a modern Korean cafe reminiscent of a Hanok, where visitors can experience the beauty of an old Korean traditional house. The serene ambiance makes for an ideal place to work (lots of tables) and meet up with friends.

I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any. Other bakeries usually provide paper plates, so it was disappointing as well.

For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries.

The variety is definitely one of the strongest points here. We tried the Matcha Cruffin, Onion Cream Bread, and Three Cheese Bagel. The Onion Cream Bread was the best of the three. The cream was light and balanced well with the bread, but the onion flavor was pretty much lost. I could barely taste it. The Matcha Cruffin was disappointing. There was matcha powder on top, but absolutely no matcha filling inside. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or simply missed the filling in ours, but for something sold as a matcha cruffin, I expected an actual matcha presence beyond the topping. The Three Cheese Bagel, made with cheddar, cream cheese, and mozzarella, had good flavor but the texture was much too hard. We were dining in and had it warmed up, yet the bread was still tough and the cheese inside had already hardened. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Overall, great selection and a nice space, but the pastries we tried were inconsistent.

It has loads of fluffy and not too sweet whipped cream and also not too sweet sugar dusted donuts encasement. I loved both the bananas cream and strawberry cream donuts.

From the gold and white décor to the soft jazz playing throughout the café, the entire space feels elegant, peaceful, and welcoming. One thing I really enjoyed was the self-serve bakery experience. You grab a tray when you walk in and choose from a selection of fresh pastries, breads, croissants, cookies, macarons, cakes, pies, tarts, and so much more. There truly is something for everyone. I ordered the Honey Lavender Matcha and a chocolate muffin and spent about 11bucks. Let me just say, both were excellent. The matcha was perfectly balanced with earthy matcha, honey, and lavender without being overly sweet. The chocolate muffin was soft, moist, and filled with a rich chocolate center that made every bite even better. I also appreciated the attention to cleanliness and presentation. Many of the fresh bakery items were individually wrapped and sealed, while others were beautifully displayed behind glass, giving the café a polished and upscale feel. What really stood out to me was the value. I spent less here than I had at another coffee shop earlier that week, yet left feeling like I received so much more. The quality, atmosphere, food, and overall experience made it feel like money well spent. Whether you're looking for a place to study, work remotely, enjoy a coffee date, meet a friend, or simply treat yourself, Tous Les Jours is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from their bakery because there were far too many delicious options to choose from in just one visit.

The sponge is incredibly soft, and the mascarpone cream is light, airy, and not overly sweet, making every bite feel perfectly balanced.

This isn't one of those heavy, overly rich cakes that leave you feeling full after a slice. It's so light and refreshing that it's hard to stop at just one piece. I chose this cake for my birthday, and it was the perfect celebration cake. If you enjoy desserts that are elegant, fluffy, and just sweet enough, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'll definitely be ordering it again!
