    Lemon chamomile latte
    Ingrid R.

    A spot I've been attending since I was a little girl. This place still maintains its homey aesthetic with nice wood panels & ambient lighting. Most of the time there is parking in the lot unless you come during a rush hour. Drinks are always served on time & presentable. My personal favorites are the hazelnut iced latte, lemon chamomile latte, & the matcha frappe. It's a nice spot to grab a drink & chit chat with family or friends. This place is also located in from the of the LA county park that has a small lake with duckies. Overall, a nice spot for a cafe & vibes.

    New interior

    Newly remodeled inside. Pretty cool. Sad to see the old look go. Easier to see pickup bar for drinks.

    The coffee is alright here and good service so far, they charge 25¢ for water (regardless of size). The matcha is sweet and tastes a bit artificial but it's a cozy little spot and the internet is fast and reliable.

    Vietnamese coffee & dry iced americano
    Regina C.

    Honestly love this coffee bean. I usually order online and it is already ready when I get there in less than 10 minutes since I live close by. The staff is friendly and my order is always made correctly. My favorite drink right now is the Hazelnut Dry Iced Americano, definitely recommend if you like strong coffee!

    Great service and even better vibes! This Coffee Bean is my local spot and I've been coming here for years but today's visit really stood out. Kevin was the barista helping my family and I, and he was honestly such a bright light. Even though it wasn't super busy, he still took initiative to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. He greeted us with warmth, engaged with all of us like real people (not just customers), and had us laughing throughout the interaction. It's rare to find someone who brings both genuine kindness and humor to their job so effortlessly. It definitely made our visit feel more personal and positive. Shoutout to him for making a regular stop feel like something special. Gold star from me Their bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich is absolutely delicious (seriously, I'm still thinking about it). The store itself was clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated how neatly all the merchandise was organized. Also, whoever's behind the chalkboard art deserves a shoutout, it's seriously the cutest thing ever. (Photo attached because it's too good not to share!) Great vibes all around!

    I feel like you can't go wrong with The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. We have them in Arizona as well. They're consistent regarding taste and the experience. We introduced my cousins to this coffee spot as they've never tried it before. I don't know if they have locations in Santa Maria, but they said they liked the coffee. Wasn't too sweet like some other places. The service is always good and it's the basic ambiance of a coffee shop. It wasn't too loud or busy, which is always good.

    Pumpkin Cold Brew

    Okay, so hear me out. I was on my way to a baby shower and forgot this place existed. I have to say that this particular location is adorable! The decor and playlist took me back to 2006. The playlist is giving "The Hills" "The OC" "Hollister" vibes. It reminded me so much of being in high school and hanging out with my friends before going to the mall. I really have to say that I want to come back as soon as possible, the autumnal menu is massive! I got the "Pumkin Cold Brew" and my boyfriend got the "Extreme Pumpkin iced Blended" both were SO FREAKIN GOOD. We also got a pumpkin donut but I inhaled it. It didn't make it out the door. 1,000/10 would recommend.

    Tiramisu (left) and Layered Matcha (right). Mixed it into one drink!

    Great service and opens early. I ordered a hot tiramisu latte and an ice layered matcha for the 2 for $10 on the app. Both drinks are good on its own, but mixed some of the warm tiramisu latte with the layered matcha to make it into one drink. It's best to pour the warm latte into the cold drink because it makes the iced drink more foamy and creamy. Basically matcha, vanilla bean, tiramisu, and espresso with oat. Both drinks are seasonal so you gotta try out my method before it's gone!

The staff were incredibly friendly, and the Luxurious George was prepared surprisingly quickly despite the matcha being hand-whisked to order. We also ordered their seasonal Vietnamese Coconut Latte, which was visually stunning, though I didn't get the chance to try it myself. **Luxurious George: 4/5** The Luxurious George, a banana jasmine matcha latte, was smooth and not overly sweet, allowing the flavors to remain light and refreshing. Fragrant jasmine took center stage, offering a beautiful floral aroma and delicate tea notes that paired nicely with the earthy matcha. The milk, however, overshadowed the matcha and made the drink taste a bit milkier than I had anticipated. While the banana was a unique addition, its flavor remained very subtle and was difficult to distinguish, leaving the jasmine as the dominant flavor profile. Despite not quite meeting all of my expectations, Leaflet Coffee left a great impression with its inviting ambiance and creative drink offerings. With such a unique menu, I'm excited to come back and discover more of what they have to offer.

When I picked up my order the drink looked fine, but when I got to work I noticed the drink getting clumpy, even when I tried swirling the cup a couple of times and stirring with my straw. I don't think that has ever happened to my matcha drinks elsewhere, so that was interesting. I was basically drinking milk with matcha chunks. Their Hojicha Latte's also mid imo; tastes bland/grassy. [ Service ] Customer service is actually not great. The gentleman who took my order last time was pretty much expressionless. This recent time, when I picked up my drink for my mobile order, the girl seemed a tad bit annoyed for no reason. The workers at the San Gabriel location are much nicer. The drinks also come out fairly slow despite going early in the morning, I recommend ordering through the app ahead of time. [ Parking ] They have the tiniest lot in front of the shop so you might have to drive up a bit further where the bank is for more parking spots.

[Parking]: Free small public parking lot directly across from the shop. [Amenities]: This is a really small coffee shop with no indoor tables and only two small outdoor tables. No restroom is available. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are the Breakfast Burrito, Teddy Bear (double espresso, agave, housemade vanilla cold foam, Teddy Grahams), and Banana Nut. All drinks are made with oat milk. Please note that the kitchen closes at 1 PM on Monday - Tuesday and 2 PM on Wednesday- Sunday even though the cafe remains open for another 1 - 2 hours. Come early for anyone wanting to try kitchen items like breakfast burrito or breakfast sandwich. *** Banana nut (double espresso, house made vanilla cold foam, house made banana syrup - medium $7.50): It came with two banana chips. The cold foam was quite underrated and I could taste a hint of banana flavor. The drink wasn't as sweet as I had expected - I liked it. Breakfast burrito (Refried beans, soyrizo, tofu scramble, crispy hashbrowns and sliced avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla - $13.50): Portion wasn't huge, but it also wasn't small enough to finish in one sitting. It had one of the softest texture for breakfast burritos. The soyrizo was very flavorful. It also came with a side of salsa - quite spicy but flavorful at the same time. *** I probably still prefer meat-based breakfast burritos, but their soyrizo breakfast burrito is quite good and the coffee drink is excellent (4.5-star for both items). I would definitely recommend this small coffee shop for a quick grab-and-go.
