Ssum Coffee - LOTUS CREAM TOP BREATH TAKING DELICIOUS A FAN FOR SURE - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

Continuing my cafe hopping journey! Parking: They have a small parking lot. Finding an open spot can be easy. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating and minimal decor. It's more so a social coffee shop rather than a studious coffee shop. The reason why I say that is bc you can't really get much done on small, short tables and hardwood seats. I enjoy the music; definitely a coffee shop ran by woman (iykyk). Service: I wasn't greeted when I entered. The worker just looked at me. She was nice though, and I think she was still training. Both workers are knowledgeable about the menu offerings. Throughput was quick after ordering. Drinks & pastries: I tried their most popular drink - Lotus Cream Top. This is a latte with Biscoff butter topped with a cream foam and Biscoff cookie. I looove anything cookie butter. I really enjoyed this drink! The Biscoff flavor was not shy. The foam was thick, but it didn't have much flavor. I heard great things about their cookies, so I'll have to come back to try them! Pricing: Prices are a bit more than average. I'd visit once in a while. They offer rewards through Cash App. read more

Cute spot! Good drinks! However, they fill the whole cup with ice so you're not getting that much liquid which I don't love. Strawberry Matcha: Matcha was good quality, strawberry milk was a bit syrupy New Orleans: Cold brew was great Iced Vanilla Latte: Latte was great but vanilla flavor was not strong Service: Nice staff! I will say $1 for alternate milk seems high given the base price + the amount of milk. Would go back but would ask for way less ice. read more

Ssum Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

I have always wanted to check out Ssum Coffee, so I decided to take my friends (who drove down from SGV area) to try Ssum together! First off, the dog logo is sooooooo cutteee!! Ssum Coffee is a super cute coffee shop located in Anaheim with adorable decors and social atmosphere. They have the cutest decors like mirrors, trinkets, and posters. There are seatings, but can busy at times! People were socializing while others were studying/working. Their menu is pretty straightforward and offer coffee base and matcha base drinks. My friends got strawberry matcha lattes, while I got the corn double matcha. I will have to say that the matcha is STRONGGGG!! You can tell they use good quality matcha. I couldn't taste much of the corn puree in my drink, but it was still good! My friends' strawberry matcha though!!! That was so good!! I love their strawberry puree that they use!! 100% would comeback again for their strawberry matcha!! read more

Decided to try Ssum on a whim! I ordered their matcha and hojicha einspanner after much deliberation. I am a bit bothered by alternative milks being upcharged $1, but it's the standard for a lot of places. Let's start with the Hojicha Einspanner: Delicous, it gets creamier as you mix in the cream and doesn't water down much. I enjoyed it thoroughly! I hope they keep it on the menu. Matcha Einspanner: I...didn't enjoy it as much as other places nearby but it's not bad! Pretty standard for a matcha, a bit on the sweeter side with the cream. I'd come back to get it and study at the cafe. The interior is adorable and I loved the tree they had in the middle. I hope they decorate more ^-^ I look foreward to coming again. Service was friendly and efficent! read more

Needed a coffee pick me up that was local and found myself here. I wanted to try something new so the nice staff helped recommend me a drink, which was the lotus cream top. He did forewarn me and say that it was sweet and I did end up getting it, and it was in fact...quite sweet. I'm glad I tried it and it was good, but can't wait to try other items! It's in an unassuming plaza but it was poppin' on a rainy weekday afternoon. Got the dubai chewy choco too! Chill vibes, cute interior, and diverse menu items. read more

- the interior felt like a cafe in Korea! All the decor was adorable - staff was super nice and explained the menu well - we got the matcha latte and yuzu bianca (latte with yuzu and a cream top) - the matcha was solid! A great quality for $6 which is rare these days! The yuzu bianca was indulgent and yummy as well but I would get less yuzu extract in there next time as it got too overpowering and sweet read more

Ssum Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

Ssum Coffee was a cute little place that we had noticed on Yelp! We decided to stop by because it was fairly new with a few reviews. The parking here was quite cramped. There's sports to park to the left side of the building, but parking in front is harder without an exit or entrance, too. Upon entering, we noticed the cute, whimsical decor of the shop! They had seating with a tree right in the middle. The menu was posted towards the left side and near the cashier. I had waltzed in, knowing what I wanted to order thanks to other Yelp reviews. I ordered the Lotus Cream Top Latte. It was perfectly creamy, strong, and had a cookie on top. My fiancé ordered the Yuzu Bianco and he enjoyed the taste; it was refreshing. My brother ordered one of the Valentine's Drinks with a peach top and peach brew. He also really enjoyed his drinks. The employees here were friendly and willing to explain what their drinks were. They were quick to make them and it was delicious as well. For a new cafe, I think it was very well run and decorated. They have a variety of drinks and offerings. They also had different cookies and pastries. If you're in the area, I'd recommend making a stop here to try it out! read more

This cute little coffee spot in OC is definitely a hidden gem. They're still pretty new, and I was hoping to try their Dubai Mocha drink, but sadly they were out of it. Instead, I ordered the Sweet Corn Top, which was nice and sweet. I also got the Dubai chocolate cookie~ definitely a must-try. The space is pretty small, but cozy. Parking is a bit limited since it's shared with other businesses like a nail salon, a food-to-go spot, and a coin laundry (if I'm not mistaken). Would I come back? Definitely! read more

Ssum is a cute little cafe tucked in an unassuming plaza~ I went late March and they still had Valentine's seasonal drinks up which was nice because that's were the drinks I wanted to try. I got a Love Brew which is a peach cold brew with a peach cream top. The peach flavor was really strong. The cold brew itself wasn't acidic and didn't have a strong taste. So I thought the cold brew itself wouldn't be strong, but that's where my taste buds fooled me. The cold brew itself gave me such a productive day ahaha. The staff was super kind and gave me space while I was thinking of what to order. My drink came out in a timely manner. I wouldn't recommend working/studying here because it is small. I feel like you could totally make it work though if you don't mind a squeeze. read more

This place is so cute! As soon as i walked in i could sense a chill atmosphere. They have some nice r&b korean music playing on a speaker! The music and layout of the furniture sets a great tone. I got one of their sig drinks which is pretty much a cookie butter latte & i also tried their strawberry matcha. Both drinks were so delicious! The flavors were so good. I enjoyed the customer service here too. I felt really acknowledged even when leaving, those small moments make a difference! I will def be coming back again. read more

Ssum Coffee - lotus + strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

Maybe I should have ordered the corn latte or the spicy latte... I had this place bookmarked. Decided to drop by before heading to Garden Grove. We got the lotus cream top and strawberry matcha lattes. I didn't enjoy my lotus cream top. It was a bit too creamy. The espresso was there, but not much flavor. It tasted like a reg coffee with cream top. No lotus flavor. The biscoff cookie didnt do much either. After consuming half, I ended up tossing the drink. It wasn't bad. Just not up to my liking. The others didn't like the strawberry matcha lattes. They thought it was a bit watery. The taste couldn't compare to other places that offered the same drink. Didn't get to try the cookies. It looked good tho. Small lot. Could get pretty busy Service was alright read more

Ssum is a cute little coffee shop tucked in a small plaza. Plenty of parking both in the front and back. The space itself is small but really cozy, with plenty of seating. I even came with my friends and her dog, this place is dog-friendly! The staff here are amazing. She took the time to explain the menu to us, which was super helpful. We ended up trying: - Strawberry, Dubai Chocolate Cookie - Strawberry Matcha - Yuzu Bianca - Yuzu Tonic - Sweet Corn Cream Top - Love Brew (Peach Cream Top + Cold Brew) I absolutely love their sweetness level, not too sweet and perfectly balanced. My favorites were their special menu : Love Brew, the peach cream top with cold brew, and Yuzu Bianca. So refreshing! Their cookies are super soft, delicious, and also not too sweet. The Strawberry cookie was a bit on the artificial side for me, but my friends loved it. The Dubai Chocolate Cookie was perfect in crispy & soft texture. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks and cookies! read more

Cute little cafe hidden in this plaza. I got the corn latte and my initaly sip was that it was too sweet however after giving it a good swirl the taste was well balanced.

Needed a place to get some remote done and saw that this was a new place in the area! PARKING: No issues with parking on a Sunday afternoon WHAT I ORDERED: Yuzu bianca THE DRINK: Right off the bat, this drink looked gorgeous with the layers of espresso and cream and the dried citrus slice! Think einspanner latte with a jammy yuzu flavor. The yuzu worked perfectly with the rest of the drink and was the perfect amount of sweetness, not too overpowering. The espresso was good too. Cream was perfectly sweetened, though my only critique was that it was kind of a lot of cream compared to the rest of the drink. SERVICE: Staff were very sweet and explained to me the different drinks VIBES: Good for working/studying! Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: Yes! A few outlets on the tables next to the wall * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, pretty good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean. But was a little awkward having to go to the back by the kitchen to use it * VOLUME: Music was not too loud * SEATING AVAILABILITY: On a Sunday afternoon lots of people were going in and out but seats were available * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions that I saw BOTTOM LINE: May have to be a new go-to! Would love to come back and try the other drinks (heard some people in line talking about the butter bar too) read more

Review 28/365 Day Challenge Came here with my friend Pow after a 4 mile hike at Peter's Canyon in Orange. It' is near her house and she's been coming here with her daughter. She recommended the Lotus cream top. Their signature drink. What We ordered ~ Lotus Cream Top signature drink $ 6.95 asked for 75% sweetness since reading reviews it's on a sweeter side drink. Definitely recommended indeed. The coffee itself is good and flavorful, it's a version of a biscoff latte. Topped w a yummy cream top and a biscoff cookie. ~ Dubai Chocolate Mochi cookie $ 6 is good and tastes like a Dubai chocolate like it's suppose to be. The center was crispy yummy. Mochi was chewy and good. ~ Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Mochi cookie $ 6 is as yummy as the regular Dubai chocolate but with a strawberry white chocolate center, more on the sweet side. Service was fast & associate was friendly. Manager Subinh was really nice. While enjoying my drink w my friend and getting ready to leave. She asked if i needed a drink carrier for my drink & cookies. Cute simple coffee shop w only interior seatings. Center of shop has a nice tree surrounded by benches. Has a cute dog logo on cups and packaging. Located next to a liquor store between a Coin op laundry. Decent amount of parking lot. read more

A cute Korean hole-in-the-wall cafe in a tiny and unassuming strip. The wood elements make the interior feel warm and inviting, even on a rainy day. The left banquette area has a few outlets and small tables, while the center has a larger, rounded seating / waiting area around a planter. We were greeted right away by the cashier. MATCHA EINSPÄNNER: 3/5. Rich and creamy. While yummy and decadent, the matcha flavor did not come through as strong as I would have liked. read more

First time visiting today. There were a few employees and they were able to get drink orders out quickly. The matcha was good and dark. This is appreciated! They had oat milk and almond milk. Great vegan option. You do pay extra. They had a full baked goods case. My husband who is not vegan got the butter bar. He enjoyed it but it was burnt on the bottom. They did not have vegan baked goods. They had valentines specials but they had a heavy cream topping which was not able to make vegan. It was a cute shop with varied seating and it was calm. It was not set up to stay for a long visit and it can crowd easily when the queue forms. It was about $20 for two drinks and butter bar We might come back read more

I'm not sure if I first saw SSUM while scrolling through IG reels or directly on Yelp but that doesn't matter. With all these coffee shops opening up everywhere, the bars are set very high. Sure, you need unique signature drinks but you also need to perfect the most simple drinks including matcha lattes and for example, an Americano. Here's what I ordered: **Lotus Cream Top: I opted to get oat milk and ordered the drink half sweet after reading several other reviews stating that the drink is on the sweeter side. When I order a signature latte, I like to taste the bold espresso flavor but this drink didn't deliver that. I enjoy a creamy drink but the espresso portion was very subtle and was way too creamy all the way through. The cream top was on the thinner side but the flavor was good. I loved the addition to the crispy biscoff cookie on top. I've had subpar experiences in the past with soggy biscoff cookie toppers but kudos for them for not doing the same. However, there were little bits of biscoff cookie crumbles on the bottom of the drink which led to a soggy aftermath. I wish I had tasted a bolder espresso flavor but this reminded me more of a dessert-like beverage. (2/5) **Iced Americano: This was a solid Americano with a bold flavor. Not too bitter and not too sour, but just right. (5/5) Came here on a weekday after work around 7:20 AM or so and there were three people waiting for drinks. As soon as I ordered and went to sit down, there was a line of 5+ people out the door. Seemed to be a busy spot already but the two baristas working at the time were pumping out drinks at a pretty good pace. I noticed that almost everyone was ordering their Lotus Cream Top but I was very disappointed with their most popular signature drink. Like I said before, I don't mind the creaminess, but the espresso flavor was almost non-existent. I'm happy that they delivered a solid Americano, which was the highlight of my visit. There were also no pastries available at the time of arrival. The customer service wasn't anything to rave about and was just decent. read more

So glad I found this place! After lunch when I need a little treat, I like to find a coffee/tea place to try and stopped into Ssum since I have driven past here a few times. The parking lot looks small from the front but there is more parking at the side and behind the building. Inside is a small coffee shop with natural wood seating and a cute round "planter' seating area around a small tree. It looks like a nice place to hang with a friend, take a date, work on your laptop, or just relax. I didn't have much staff interaction but service was friendly. I ordered the matcha einspanner and it was incredible! The cream top is thick and perfectly sweetened, which balances the slight bitterness that matcha has. It was delicious! Definitely will be a repeat for me. I forgot to ask if they have decaf espresso, but if they do, that will mean there is no limit to drinks I can enjoy! There is a little pastry case with cookies and things by the register but I didn't get anything...this time. Maybe next time I will! And there will certainly be a next time. read more

Absolutely adore this coffee shop! It's located in the same plaza as the teriyaki grill place and nail shop. The interior is very modern & cute, and staff is very welcoming. I tried the Lotus Cream Top and Strawberry Milk, and I love them both! The cream in the Lotus Cream Top was so fluffy and delicious. I also got their plain croissant, dubai mochi, and the choco butter bar. The texture of the dubai mochi is so fun and interesting. And the choco butter bar is surprisingly not sweet and has the texture of a pie crust. The croissant is baked in-house! They don't have decaf but they have non-caffeinated options like yuzu sparkling ade, strawberry milk, and chocolate milk. Can't wait to come back! read more

Arrived 15 min before closing and there were still a few more customers relaxing in here. It looks like a cute little spot to chill and do work. Lotus Cream Top Latte ($6.95) - I'm always a sucker for biscoff things so I was excited to try this! The biscoff flavor isn't too strong throughout the whole drink, but it still tastes like a yummy sweetened/not too overly sweet latte! I enjoyed it. the cream top is delicious. Matcha Yuzu Tonic ($6.75) - I asked for this without the tonic and just plain water because I'm not a fan of the carbonation, but I really wanted to try the matcha and yuzu together as if it were like a matcha cold brew. The flavors together were light and refreshing! Love the citrus paired with the matcha. Grabbed the choco butter bar ($6.50) which was way too rich in chocolate for me. Like the rich that you can feel through your nose lol. It was more of a treat for my bf since he liked the flavor. Very dense like a cross between a brownie and cake kind of? But more brownie density. I had to ask the guy behind the counter what it is, and strangely enough, he was unable to answer me adequately. I didn't know what to think a "butter bar" was because I honestly have never heard of it. He could've given a description or something about it, but he had no idea what to tell me. I got it anyway to try it out, but maybe make sure that all employees know how to kind of "sell" the pastries or be able to tell customers what's in it? Just in case someone can't decide on choosing this pastry or that, or if someone's allergic to something? I'm just thinking way too outside the box because I got weird vibes from a worker not being able to tell you anything about their product. read more

Walked in on a Wednesday morning around 10am! First impression was it was very nice and customer service was great! I love that they have a big menu on the side as well as a smaller menu where you order! I got flat white, iced americano and chocolate croissant. Prices were great wasn't that expensive! I enjoyed my flat white and when we ordered the iced Americano they asked if we wanted light or dark roast! The croissant was alright I wished it was a little more flaky! The inside is spacious and has a lot of setting! One thing I saw is they had a table for people that are on a wheelchair which I found very nice since I haven't really seen that at any coffee shop! read more

Lotus Cream Top: 5/5 Matcha Yuzu Sparkling Ade: 5/5 Aesthetic: 5/5 Service: 5/5 So happy there is a cute new coffee shop in this area! Normally would have to drive to Fullerton or Garden Grove for a good cup of coffee. Came on a rainy day and inside was aesthetic and cozy. Lotus Cream Top: Biscoff flavored latte with a thick cream top! The coffee was nice and smooth and had a great biscoff flavor. There were little bits of biscoff at the bottom that lended to the strong flavor which was nice. Drink was slightly on the sweet side, might get it less sweet next time. The cream top is more like an einspanner top, rather than a liquid cream top. Matcha Yuzu Sparkling Ade: Light and refreshing! Had good yuzu and matcha flavor. Good option for a lighter caffeine fix if not in the mood for a milky or coffee drink. Would totally be back again. So happy that this place opened up near me and hope they do well! read more

My sister had been coming here regularly while she visited and the other day I decided to go with her too. She ordered the ssum matcha which had no description so she did not know that it had cinnamon. She has trouble handling cinnamon. She then asked if they could please remake it but they refused. She then asked if they could at-least remove some of the ice as it had a lot of cinnamon on top, and while they attempted to fix it, they ended up filling the cup with even more ice. Their drinks are already on the pricier side and have far too much ice, and so the drink ended up being mostly ice with just a few sips of the actual drink! We both enjoyed their coffee before this which is why I gave a 2. Otherwise it would have been a 1 after today's experience. So this was all rather disappointing. We have never been to a place that wouldn't fix a drink. Overall, a disappointing experience. read more

Ssum Coffee - This was supposed to be ssum matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

Service: Absolutely top notch. They went out of their way to make sure they could make a drink for me that was off the menu and made sure that it could be non-dairy. The barista literally ran to the back to check the ingredients on the corn puree they use to make sure it was non-dairy. Drinks: Their matcha is super nutty and smooth, truly very yummy! I got a matcha latte with 20g corn puree, and it was truly 10/10. Studyability: They have low tables that are not the absolute best for studying, but definitely could still make it work! There are some outlets along the benches and about 10 tables in total, with free and pretty wifi. Music is chill soft songs at a pretty low volume. ;D Heads up for all my lactose intolerant baddies out there, there unfortunately is heavy cream in their cream tops so that can't be made non-dairy, but their other drinks are still delicious. read more
