The place was buzzing, but since our order was to-go, we were in and out without much of a wait. Big shoutout to Aron for being friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Customer service like that deserves an extra sprinkle of matcha powder!!! Thank you very matcha!! Then came the first sip. Boom!!!! That ceremonial-grade matcha delivered exactly what it should: bold, earthy, nutty, and gloriously green. No weak, sad matcha pretending to be something it's not. This was the real deal!!! Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the area. Finding legit ceremonial-grade matcha isn't always easy, but 8 Symphony Coffee understood the assignment.

Got the "MOCHA GANACHE" so id expect it to be chocolatey and rich…read more.. No.. It tasted like a watery chocolate milk with a splash of burnt coffee. Extremely disappointed as the coffees on here sound good. Wofe got the tiramisu cloud latte...and her tasted like...slightly flavored water... -_- Guess ill still have to stick to 7leaves for now... The hunt continues...

I think I've found my new favorite coffee shop for this part of town and there are a lot of great…read morecoffee shops in this area! We had a Flat White & Cortado. Both were excellent rich & creamy and served at the perfect drinking temperature. This is honestly one of the best Flat Whites I've had in years!! Will be going back soon to try some of there other drinks. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the drinks. There is also a large variety of beans available for sale. I was even able to find filters for my home pour-over setup! Its a smaller shop with a modern, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay. There is limited seating inside and a couple of benches outside. Not the kind of space where you can sit down to work or study. But perfect for visiting with friends and enjoying the wonderful drinks. Ondo is located in a busy strip mall so parking can be tough. We actually parked in the strip mall next door LOL There is also some street parking in the area.

Came back but it felt something is not the same. Just fyi, I dislike tipping culture but when you…read moreget a bag of beans and they ring you up for a drink, just make sure you calculate the tip because I forgot it included both the beans and drinks so the staff got a big tip from me. As for the drinks, the pour overs is lacking as of late. When I get pour overs I would like the staff to be attentive to my drink than being side-tracked. I'm paying almost $8.5+ for my pours mind you. I'll continue to come for the beans but I don't know about the drinks right now.

I usually stop by when I'm getting my car serviced as it's just a short distance away. It's a relaxing atmosphere and I see some people working on their laptops. The place is spacious with some tables, benches, high table and small bar area. My fave is the Monkey Matcha ($7.50) which has banana cream. It goes so well with matcha. I have gotten the latte with banana cream as well as this is excellent too. The croissants here are huge. I like the matcha one. With good AC, spacious area, light music, excellent matcha n coffee and delish snacks, this is a very cool place to visit n chill or maybe get some work done.

Their " pour over" is not actually a pour over. Although their menu specifically says V60 pour…read moreover, and I seen their V60 on the counter, it was not used. They used a drip machine that has "pour over features". I called this to the barista's attention but she said they use their pour over machine for their pour overs... They should probably update their menu. Other than that I like buying their beans and my fiancé likes their latte's.

I love coming here! It's right next to my house, so it's become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm…read morecraving matcha. One of the things I appreciate most is that you can customize the matcha level. I'm pretty caffeine-sensitive, so being able to adjust it means I can still enjoy a delicious drink without overdoing the caffeine. Today I tried the Matcha Lemon Bar Latte, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It really does capture the flavor of a lemon bar--bright, citrusy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. The lemon flavor comes through nicely without overpowering the matcha, so both flavors complement each other really well. If you're a fan of lemon desserts or want to try something a little different, I definitely recommend ordering this while it's still on the menu. It's a 10/10 for me, and I'll definitely be ordering it again before it's gone!

Service was quick, theyvtake the next available person if the electronic pad is busy. Simple casual ambiance with minimal decor. I noticed though how the softserves arent evenly swirled to near perfection compared to my go to Matcha place in another state.

Wow wow wow! This was definitely worth the drive…read more Of course I tried their famous dirty nutty latte. This is chefs kiss! The flavors after you mix the latte are soo yummy! I also tried their macchiato cloud which was also amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Parking: parking lot located within the shopping center.

The Dirty Nutty was so good! It definitely leans a little sweeter, but not in an overwhelming way…read more What I really appreciated was that it wasn't too milky, so the espresso still came through and balanced everything out really well. I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon to get some work done, and it wasn't very busy. They offer free wifi and have tables available. If you're planning to stay for a while, though, I'd recommend coming a little earlier since seating is fairly limited. The service was calm, welcoming, and made for a really enjoyable visit. It's the kind of place that's easy to settle into for a bit, and I'd definitely come back. Parking can be a little busy because the shopping center has several businesses nearby, including a beauty studio, restaurant, and bank. That said, the lot itself has plenty of spaces, you may just need a little patience during busier times!

First time trying Holos Coffee and I can see why it's so popular! There was a steady stream of…read morecustomers the whole time I was there, which is always a good sign. I ordered their signature Holos coffee and it did not disappoint -- well-balanced, smooth, and clearly made with care. What I didn't expect was that they also serve ice cream, which is a fun bonus and a nice touch for a coffee shop. Great combo if you're craving something cold and something caffeinated at the same time. The space has a clean, welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly despite how busy it was. Already looking forward to going back to try more of the menu, including that Holos coffee again.

Location is close to 99 ranch market. It's in the plaza right before Ranch 99. I ordered a…read morestrawberry Matcha with half of the sweetener and with oat milk for a grand total of eight dollars. This place also has pastries, coffee,and also sells gelato Ice-cream. I had been here before with the girl and couldn't recall if I liked this place. The drink was good. I always feel like I'm having a strawberry nest quick when I have this drink that's why I don't like it too sweet. I will admit it's not as good as the one solid coffee roasters makes, but it's close. I'll come back. I'll try the coffee next time.

Finally!! I have heard so much and have craved Halo Halo…read more Pretty busy on a Friday mid afternoon. Lots of food traffic with majority of customers coming for Halo Halo or drinks. The mini Upside Down Halo Halo was the perfect size and wasn't like a mini at all lol. Had a taste of brown sugar, included boba, jellies, scoop of ice cream, the Corn Flakes, flan. The cupcakes still taste good after 2 days. Texture and taste didn't change at all. Milo Cupcake: Buttercream reminded me of Milo on point. Ube Leche Flan Cupcake: Omg the taste of the Ube was Soo good and still moist. The flan on top made it extra yummy.

This is one week old review. It was on our list to try since I love halo halo. This place…read moreactually deserve 3.5 stars but since overall experience is positive, it round up to 4. The place is small but cozy and they have a giant couch in the middle for lounging. The price is high compare to other places, with the exception of their daily special tea. Their tea is actually cheap. I love love the jasmine calamonsi tea, so refreshing for $3. The halo halo was overwhelmed with ice cream, need more of other ingredients. The monster oreo shake was delicious but it is not worth it for that price. The ube flan cupcake was just ube cupcake and flan stack on top. It kinds of lacking the cohesiveness. Overall, I would come back just for that tea.

This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

Yummy brunch with Filipino flavors. Everything was so well seasoned, I particularly enjoyed the…read morepork belly bowl and breakfast burrito. They also had a selection of desserts, which was tempting, but I didn't end up trying those. I visited a while ago, and back then the prices seemed quite steep for the amount of food that we received. There's quite a large seating area, and a large parking lot - though this plaza can get very crowded on the weekends.
