    Such a cute spot!! Lots of parking but it does fill up, tons of seating inside but no public restrooms!! Keep this in mind if you plan on coming to stay for multiple hours! Service was great! I felt bad for the one girl working alone since it was a little busy when I got there but she was kind and got me my drink in no time! I wanted to get something on their seasonal menu but unfortunately it had already sold out so I ended up getting the banana bread latte. Tasted amazing, I guess I'll just have to see if they restock for their apple pie latte :( Will absolutely be coming back!

    Mais con ube with matcha
    Jennifer H.

    I ordered the mais con ube but subbed with matcha. The best way to describe the drink was that I wasn't wow-ed esp with it being over $9. It was just mid and I wish it had more of that corn flavor. Service was friendly and has a cute vibe though. Note there's no public bathrooms, which seems inconvenient if you plan to study or stay for an extended period.

    Super cute lil coffee shop with amazing drinks and even more amazing service!! Their matcha was rich, creamy and high quality. Great place to get a little work done, only downside is that there is no bathroom for customers

    They are currently in their soft opening but nonetheless the drinks were super good! Ordered matcha mango sticky rice and a pandan matcha - it was so good but a bit on the sweeter side. I feel like they need to balance out the flavors a bit but I still really liked it! Service was good, the cashier was very nice, interior is also really cute. They have board games on display that you can play with friends or family while you hang out. There's also some outlets in there if you ever need to study or do work- which I will probably do next time. Will def come back!

    Loved this cute little Filipino-American inspired coffee shop! Enough space and cozy enough to just bring your laptop and work or study. Only con is they do not have restrooms available. Came a little late so most of the pastries were sold out, but I did get a red velvet cheesecake cookie and it was amazing 1000/10! You can tell it was freshly made! Also got a banana bread iced latte, 9/10 , I was expecting more banana flavor. Parking can be a nightmare if you come during rush hour. Service was 1000000/10. Very polite and friendly This coffee shop is rooted in faith, and love for Christ you can definitely feel!!! Will be stopping by to try something new soon!

    New favorite coffee spot! Tamistea has such a clean and modern vibe, making it a really nice place to relax and enjoy a drink. The space feels bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. The drinks are just as good as the atmosphere. The ube matcha was smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced, and the mais con coffee is definitely one of my go-to orders now. Everything tastes fresh and not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. Overall, a great neighborhood café and a spot I can see myself coming back to often. If you're nearby and looking for a good coffee place, this one is worth checking out.

    This matcha was delicious. It was so well prepared and balanced. I didn't feel any of the bitterness that matcha has. Will come back to try the other flavors. Service was excellent. The staff was very friendly.

    Drinks and sweets, ok

    Their latte was enjoyable but their matcha was a bit watered down. As far as the drinks we tried, nothing stood out as exceptional enough to rave about, but it also wasn't offensive so it's all a matter of personal taste. The pastries we tried were also pretty good. These things can be modified and improved and I know they'll tweak things and only makes things better and I can already see from the reviews that many people love their offerings. The service is friendly. I truly, truly wish them well. I do disagree with the notion that it's a good place to work or study because they do not offer restrooms. I feel like a good coffee shop (or at least a coffee shop that you can work and study at) gives you at least that option.

    I'm back as promised! This time I tried their matcha. I decided to go with the matcha tonic because I'm a big tonic fan. The matcha was much much better than the coffee! As soon as I saw the bold bright green color I knew I had made the right choice. Service remained as amazing as the first time I was here. I also appreciate that they're super helpful when it comes to asking about potential allergens in the drinks. The ambiance still hit that perfect spot. Looking forward to trying a matcha latte next time.

    Mais con ube and double matcha
    Rebecca T.

    I love how so many cute cafés are popping all over the South Bay, and Tamistea is a recent addition. Stopped by after lunch for a pick-me-up: it is located inside of a strip mall with a good amount of parking, but I can imagine it might be tricky to find a spot during busier hours. Inside is minimalist, but charming with plenty of natural lighting and some board games on the side. It's a Christian-based café, so you'll see quotes and drinks inspired by the faith. I ordered their signature mais con ube and double matcha. The mais con ube came beautifully-presented, and I can see why it's a fan favorite: taste-wise, it was solid, with strong coffee and a sweet ube cream top to balance it out. Not sure if I tasted much of the corn flavor, but in any case, it was really good! Double matcha was good, but a bit on the milky side; perhaps it was the oat milk I'd opted for as the latte base, but it could've had more matcha. Not bad, though! I would return to Tamistea for the mais con ube alone. Even if you're not faith-based, it's still a nice café to come and sit a while!

    Order a few drinks, first time trying this place. Got the Turon Latte, it's wasn't sweet which is good. Hubby got the Milo Mocha latte, mom got an Americano and for our not so little one, a double chocolate cookie. I think they serve a take on Filipino breakfast food. The place wasn't too big but seems cozy enough. Might go back to try other stuff. We like the seating outside, it has enough shade.

    Wow, so glad I finally tried this spot. Loved all of my drinks so much, and the Filipino cornbread was to die for!! The matcha and coffee here are both so high quality. The owner is an absolute sweetheart, she was so welcoming and generous which is a huge plus. The shop itself is also really cute and gives cozy islandy vibes. Plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating so this is a perfect hangout spot! I can't wait to come back!!

    Maganda Ka to that Ube Latte I had. The croissant was special, not just a regular croissant, it had a texture and flavor and season that I enjoyed. The Smores Cookie was just good, actually, it was great. The décor was original, with style, and yet still comfortable. There were many seating options but I just had to sit at the smallest table and smallest stool for the experience. There is a water station. The parking was great on this early Saturday morning; the parking hot here is shared among many businesses. I support the Women-owned businesses and I hope this café does well. My experience here was excellent. ***Please listen to the song I am parodying, "Sweet Thing" by Mary J Blige.*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EjZF88vqNU&list=RD6EjZF88vqNU&start_radio=1 While you are reading my song parody portion of my review below.

    COME HERE IF YOU LOVE SPECIALTY COFFEE…read more DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU LOOK FOR: PRETTY LOOKING/LAYERED SUGAR BOMB DRINKS (nothing wrong with that though! Just wanting to help with expectations if you've never been here.) This place serves purely traditional coffee. I'm new to living in this area in LA (I come from Orange County) and have been trying to visit the coffee shops out here. So far, this is THE BEST from what I've tried so far in terms of specialty coffee. (I don't have a long list that I've visited yet) It's quite refreshing actually, to see a coffee shop that's PURELY specialty coffee. No frills or thrills, just traditional basics done well. Decor is great. I tried the emerald series espresso as a flat white (two of them) which is marketed as rare and exotic. I didn't want to read much too much into it at the moment. I was just wanting my caffeine fix. Both together came out to around $17 (oof!) They at least handed us 2 oz samples of coffee. Presentation of the drinks were done well. You can tell that they really care about the craft because we were waiting unnecessarily long on a slow day. I over heard a 'How did that pull?' while waiting. I appreciate the care.

I was able to nab a spot almost out front for this shop. The workers are nice. Although, the issue I had was the guy making the drinks tried to give my pastry to another customer. Also, there was a female customer he knew that would not stop talking to him. She seemed to be flirting with him and distracting him. Like gurrrrrl, stop you are gonna make him mess up my order and wasting time because he's going slower to talk to you. He already seemed to be behind on orders.

I tried their tot cream latte & their "feels like home", both iced. If you order for enjoying in shop, they give you a cute cup with a saucer & spoon. They don't put that much ice which I appreciate. The coffee is still cold! The tot cream latte is on the sweeter side, but it is extremely good. I like the flavor of the coffee, although the sweetness kind of takes away from the coffee shining through. It's good for people that like coffee but not the acidic taste from it. The feels like home is strong. That bean? Phew. Got muscles, it's strong. Very subtle sweetness. Beautiful bean flavor. Cream top is yummy. I would def order again. I appreciate them not having burnt or acidic/sour tasting espresso. That's been a common trend in coffee shops as of late D: Ambiance is nice, it's small inside & no AC so they have a fan with the door cracked open wide but still gets stuffy inside. I believe they do have WiFi don't quote me, you'll have to fact check that one. But there were people there on their laptops so I wanna assume yes.. Service was quick and standard amongst the baristas. Parking in the plaza is small otherwise there is an underground garage. There was a notice of filming or photography sign I didn't bother reading and forgot to take a picture of but it's on the glass when you go up to order.

The logo looks like Chagee, the pink is reminiscent of Molly Tea, the fake olive tree is very Cha Redefine, and if I think really hard, the white pampas grass is Toro Tea. Or maybe I'm just schizophrenic, but it was an observation that I made to everyone. I believe ages ago this used to be a Happy Lemon, so this is an insane shift and change in what they offer and the vibes. It's very chill and a great place to hang out, catch up, or study and get work done. Lots of outdoor seating and a good amount of tables and small seating inside too. Ordering is done through a touchscreen kiosk and the drinks come out decently quickly too. Very efficient and friendly service. I got the: 1) Jade Peach Oolong Milk Tea: -I got this with no additional sugar and it automatically comes with their matcha tofu. Super unique and yummy topping. -Delicious white peach flavor, creamy and strong finishing tea taste. Reminds me of all of the aforementioned tea franchise heavy hitters that I know and love. Mai can hold its own. Without additional sweetness, this drink didn't end up tasting watered down or bland, which is super impressive. 2) Double Matcha: -I got this with their organic milk and it's their matcha on top of a matcha cream foam. I got this with no additional sugar (not recommend LOL), but I wanted to really see the quality of their matcha seeing how they won best matcha award and they're somehow in the same vicinity as Yamari. -If anyone even reads my reviews, I use a scaling method to rank matcha. If it's good matcha it's either a Yamari type or an Airoma type, and this scales much closer to Airoma, but it is VERY strong matcha. -This was actually the first time my friend and I got poisoned (like nauseous) from the matcha, meaning it's super high quality and strong. Never had this happened before, so you know that this is the good stuff. It might have been since it was a long day without dinner, or we might have needed it to be sweeter, but I can see why they won their award. I took a sip of my friend's Phin Drip Black Coffee and the Bac Xiu Marble Drip Iced Latte. Delicious coffee flavor without that "sourness" that some coffees have and even without added sweetness, it's not gross and bitter. I got some coffee to go for my dad and brother and they loved it too. We need one of these in the 626. New fav for the area. Definitely want to come back to try more drinks and maybe some of their pastries too.
