Service was amazing from the moment we walked in. We were immediately greeted, and they even gave my daughter a cookie, which she absolutely loved. The ambiance is super cute and cozy. It honestly feels like you've been welcomed into someone's home. The food and drinks were incredible. We ordered the Funky Monkey Latte and an espresso cortado, and both were so good. For food, we had the avocado toast with egg and bacon, the ham and cheese croissant, and the sausage bacon breakfast burrito. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth coming back for. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Tribute Coffee House! read more

Mint Mojito Latte (small size for a little over $6): 3/5. Had a hint of mint, though I was hoping for a refreshing minty flavor with real mint leaves. They did offer to "add more" (I'm guessing syrup?) upon request, which was kind of them, but I didn't know how much the flavor and sweetness would change, so I didn't bother. It was also on the milkier side for a latte, but it was still a decent iced coffee. The gentleman at the front was polite and accommodating, while the female barista made drinks quickly and accurately. The shop doors were open, which felt very welcoming and accessible. Inside has a few tables, and they have food as well. A handful of parking spots pepper the perimeter of the store, which is also right by the gas station there. Maybe I'll ask for an extra shot in my future drink. I definitely wanna try some others from their extensive latte menu, like the Churro or Cinnamon Blast. read more

Aww, I love this place and the owner. He was so sweet and his drink selection was plentiful. My drink was perfect! The only issue about this place is the location. I had to make a few U-turns because I couldn't find where this place was at. It's connected to a gas station, but it's not open to the store. I felt bad because there were homeless people loitering around the coffee shop and, you can tell parts of the place we're vandalized. They have a drive- thru which should earn the business more revenue, however it's neighboring the train tracks and a homeless encampment. The drinks are worth it though, truly! It's cozy inside and again, the owner is wonderful and makes you feel like you just stepped into his home. If I'm ever in the area, I'd stop by again. read more

This place has a lot of potential cuz the customer service is great and the coffee is great but the place itself is not appealing. It's by the gas station, then inside, the light fixture by the counter is broken, the trash bin overflowing no lid exposed to the eyes of the customers. I still give 4 instead of lower score cuz the reason why I went there is for the coffee not for the ambiance but the physical environment will greatly affect the overall impression of the customers. I ordered medium hot pistachio latte which they gave justice! We also ordered plain bagel with cream cheese, acai bowl (which they don't have banana) and cinnamon roll. Overall it's whoever manages this coffee place that needs to pay extra attention . This place needs a little upgrade aesthetically. Trust read more

The peanut butter mocha was soooo good but it's very sweet so felt more like a dessert than a coffee. Their online ordering wasn't working so they didn't know about my order when I got there but they made my drink right away so I only waited a couple of minutes. It's right next to a gas station so I almost missed it but the interior has very nice coffee shop vibes. read more

Everytime I'm in the area for an oil change I come and get the pistachio latte hot off their not so secret - secret menu. They have a corn chowder here that is delicious too!

Tribute Coffee House - Pistachio latte with almond milk. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Looks can definitely be deceiving. Tribute Coffee sits next to a convenience store at a gas station, and from the outside it's easy to underestimate it. Don't. Once you step inside, you immediately realize this is a true small business run by the owner and where everything is made with care and intention. The menu features African-inspired flavors, thoughtfully crafted specialty coffees, and sandwiches that feel homemade in the best way. There are also pastries and plenty of options to explore. At first glance, the counter might look a little cluttered, but you quickly realize it's not mess...it's choice. Every item represents something new you can try, and that adds to the charm. While it may not be spotless or overly polished, the space is incredibly comfortable and welcoming. It's set up so you can hang out, relax, and actually enjoy your time there instead of rushing out the door. The service really seals the deal: very friendly, very genuine, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel appreciated rather than processed. Tribute Coffee is a hidden gem. read more

Tribute Coffee House is a hole-in-a-wall & black owned coffee shop located right next to the 76 Gas Station. The coffee shop was ranked #95 in Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S. in 2019. [Parking]: The coffee shop shares parking spaces with the gas station with limited parking spots. [Atmosphere]: Since the coffee shop is located right next to the gas station, many visitors accidentally walked into the coffee shop and wanted to use coffee shop's restroom. I agree with one of Yelp reviewers that interior needs a little bit of housecleaning - yes the coffee shop has games, but the overall lighting setting is dark and gloomy. [Menu]: Tres Leche Latte is one of the Yelp top highlights, but the top 3 most ordered items per Doordash are Oatmeal Store Prepped, Classic Breakfast Sandwich, and Ham & Cheese Croissant. No price was listed for any of food items. *** Breakfast sandwich (an English muffin with two eggs, American cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, pesto mayonnaise, and a choice of protein - Sausage - $7.95): Cashier recommended sausage so I went with it. The breakfast sandwich tasted alright. Dulce de Leche Latte (a mix of Milk, Evaporated Milk, and Sweetened Condensed Milk - medium 16 oz hot - $6.10): I was thinking Tres Leche but somehow I pointed to Dulce de Leche. It was a good cup of latte. *** A solid coffee shop for grab-and-go and this is a nice pit stop if you are in the area. 4-star on latte, but bump down 1-star due to interior vibe and prices for food & non-so-secret lattes not stated on the menu. read more

Tribute Coffee House - Churro Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Always on the lookout for unusual coffee shops I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem in Garden Grove. First, it is attached , but distinct from a gas station/convenience store on Harbor Blvd. It has a cool African theme reflective of the owners' heritage. It is not a large facility but well worth the visit. The menu was quite extensive, with a large selection of coffee drinks and a menu that includes soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries and other desserts. The server (owner?) was very gracious and pleasant. I had a great cup of drip coffee, chicken panini sandwich and a croissant. Excellent all-around. Will be back when I am in the area. Definitely a great find! read more

Wow what a hole-in-the-wall gem! I did not expect something so delicious located right next to a gas station lol. The breakfast croissant sandwich I got was ginormous and it was so delicious and the latte was delicious as well! Cute ambience and the staff were really friendly. I came back again on a Sunday morning to take my kids to try it, but unfortunately, they were not open. There was no sign indicating why they were closed. Was disappointed, but hopefully I can take them back there another day. read more

Always a pleasure visiting this spot. On this particular visit today, I unfortunately did not get to see the owners, Yudy and Ehey, but fortunately, their team is still very well trained! Fantastic drinks, very good croissants even if this establishment is not primarily a bakery. Yudy and Ehey have worked very hard to create an oasis of a place with cool art inside embedded inside a gas station. If you can't stop inside, there is a drivethrough. Blended drinks are phenomenal, and they have "For Here" glasses. I especially recommend the blended Charcoal Mocha, Nutty Professor, Curious JoJo, and Funky Monkey drinks. The newer line of smoothies and refreshers are good too. These are real fruit smoothies, not powdered stuff! The peach smoothie was fantastic. Hope to see you next time and that all is well, Yudy! read more

Truly a hidden gem. Okay so this doesn't look like a fancy elite coffee shop. But come on in and have a seat. This place was amazing. Absolutely terrific. We drove about 45 minutes in traffic to get here and try it out. Wow wow wow. I can't even say enough about this place the staff is absolutely top notch. Udy, the owner came out to greet us and brûlée our coffee topping. He was so sweet and attentive. So we came here because we really wanted to try the Crème Brûlée latte. Let me just say I was not disappointed at all. In fact it was amazing and I want another one right now as I type this. I can't wait to come back and try other stuff. They offer a coffee flight usually as well. I love me a good coffee flight and what an amazing way to try different coffees at a shop. Now moving on to the food. Because we had to get food too. Breakfast was amazing. Between the three of us today we got two breakfast platters and a breakfast burrito. I would have to say we all won. I love eggs and sausage. You can't go wrong with some delicious tator tots. The burrito was a great size and full of flavor. We could have shared a meal. So the portions are very large. So if you get a chance stop by here and have a drink. Don't judge a book by its cover. This is an absolute hidden gem and deserves some amazing recognition for how awesome the food and drinks are. They have pastry's as well. Let me know if you stop by here. I would love to know how the rest of their items are. read more

An article popped up on my feed with a list of black owned coffee businesses in OC. Tribute was closest to where we were and decided to check them out. It's located in the 76 gas station plaza at corner lot of Harbor and Westminister. The coffee shop is next door to the gas station and has a drive thru that wraps around the building. Very cozy inside offering pastries and food. The Not So Sweet Latte Menu has 10 to choose from. We got Nutty Professor that had butter scotch and maple syrup. Also got Mint Mojito Latte which was light and more subtle. The Nutty Professor was a bit sweet for me but my fiancé loved it. Caffeine was kicking in and lasted throughout the day for me. For the non lovers, they have fruit juices. They still offer seasonal fall menu that you could order as flights. Parking in this lot could be limited due to the gas station and Jiffy Lube. Service great. He made sure we tried our drink before leaving in case it needed a redo. read more

Food, service, ambiance--Tribute does it all! Service: The owner is one of the kindest and most genuine people I've met! He and all of the other staff there are welcoming and passionate, always making sure that customers like what they received and offering adjustments. I was offered a water and to-go box before even having to ask, both of which were taken to my table as well as the food and drink (I don't mind getting up and asking for things or getting these things on my own, but it was nice to feel attended to!) Food/drinks: Their coffee and food options are extensive so there really is an option for everyone, and I've never had anything I didn't like here (which is crazy because I always try to have something new since their menu is so big!). My favorites are the iced tres leches latte and the milanesa de pollo torta! I love that they offer savory lunch options alongside breakfast and pastries. Ambiance: The interior is beautifully decorated with comfortable seating and the wifi is free, reliable and fast, which is great for a college student like me. There are plenty of seating options and outlets available, so I've never had trouble finding an open spot. If you aren't able to come in and sit down, there is also a convenient drive-thru as well (although it is a bit hard to spot at first and can be hard to get into). Location: Located in a gas station, the parking is a bit limited but I've personally never had a hard time getting parking. If it is full for whatever reason, there's a parking lot across the street as well. The surrounding area is admittedly not the greatest, but I always feel safe and welcomed inside Tribute itself. I've been going here since Covid times and can confidently say that it has consistently been amazing! read more

I think the coffee was delicious. I noticed they used klatch coffee, superb gourmet coffee. Which explains the taste. Price was slightly above Starbucks but Starbucks doesn't give you the service and warmth like Tribute manager Yudi does! I don't mind paying for a better caliber in quality. The ham and cheese croissant and double chocolate muffin were fresh and delectable. We didn't even ask for it but Yudi offered us ice water . Not all water everywhere tastes good. It tasted filtered and refreshing! Surprisingly nice inside with beautiful African art on the walls. A place where you can relax and work on your laptop . read more

The customer service is standout here! The man who was working here (maybe the owner?) was so friendly and really made an effort to ensure we were happy with our drinks and assured us that he would be happy to adjust our drink to be sweet/less sweet or remake the drink entirely if we didn't like it. We ordered the mint mojito latte iced with oat milk. It was really tasty! They have a ton of different flavor options, something for everyone. I will add the location is a bit random by a gas station, but try not to judge a book by its cover! read more

Tucked next to a gas station, this little coffee shop is the definition of "don't judge a book by its cover." I wasn't expecting much when I pulled in for gas, but the smell of fresh espresso lured me in--and wow, am I glad it did! The staff are not only super friendly but genuinely funny. I felt more like I was grabbing coffee with old friends than stopping at a random roadside spot. They know their regulars, crack jokes with newcomers, and somehow make your day better before you've even had your caffeine fix. We ordered crème brûlée lattes (which were divine) and enjoyed one of their board games with my wife and kids. The food was just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and way beyond what you'd expect from a gas station-adjacent café. This place deserves all the praise it can get. Do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it! read more
