    Honey Bori Latte 5/5 (less sweet or full sweet are delightful). Puffed wheat snack topping reminds me of healthier cocoa puffs :D
    Kelly N.

    This visit was on a Thurs morning around 9:30 for a birthday treat. Although they confirmed that they 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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Jenny V.

    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!

    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.

They have a decent amount of indoor seating, and a cute outdoor side patio nestled in between the businesses. Since it was over 100 degrees outside today, we stuck to the inside. I tried the Banana Bread Latte off of their seasonal menu, and my partner opted for a black sesame latte. As far as lattes go it was pretty solid! The coffee had a great taste, and my banana bread latte perfectly balanced the cinnamon and banana flavor. The black sesame latte also had a great flavor as well. I can't speak to much else of their menu, but they have a wide range of options from matcha, to other non espresso options. The service was quick, and the baristas were friendly enough. I would definitely recommend this spot to friends and family, and in an area with a lot of coffee options, it stood out for us.

When I walked in, there was no greeting at all. I only had a simple order, but two employees spent a lot of time chatting while making drinks, and it took much longer than expected. As usual, I ordered two Iced Vanilla Lattes and a strawberry milk for my child. The strawberry milk was served in a paper cup. When I tasted it, it wasn't cold, so I politely asked if it could be transferred to a clear to-go cup with ice. The staff said they couldn't provide a clear cup with ice because of store policy. Honestly, I was surprised by the response. It was such a simple request, and I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. A little flexibility and customer service would have gone a long way. I visit coffee shops almost every day, and if you look at my reviews, you'll see that I'm usually very generous and understanding when it comes to coffee shops. However, today's experience was by far one of the most disappointing I've had. I've enjoyed this place for a long time, which makes this visit even more unfortunate.
