Great place for coffee, pastry or meetings. Been here a few times. Today I ordered the iced drip coffee (3/5), croissant (4/5), ube and matcha scones (3/5), Madeline (3/5). I'll try the Kouign Amann, Financier, Chubby cheesecake or Scoffle. Definitely a lot of selections of pastry. And perhaps their tea drinks are better than their coffee drinks.

Great coffee and bread. I took a bite of the coffee bread and it tasted delicious. The s'mores cookie was awesome. I only had a regular coffee. Next time I will definitely try other drinks. Great part is it is open at 10am, most other places open at 11.

Korean bakery offering an assortment of pastries and handcrafted drinks. Friendly and efficient service. I appreciate them offering to heat the pastry. Facilities are clean and there is ample seating with outlets available.

Matcha here is earthy and fresh. The sconkies (scone cookies) are super yummy heated up. Service is polite with a great variety of breads.

IMO best location. I’ve been to the one in Buena Park and this one is much much better. Their pastries remind me of the ones I had in Korea and definitely hit the spot every time 👌 I actually haven’t tried a pastry I haven’t liked so far and I’ve tried tons. Lots of seats to come study or for a quick break during lunch. As you can see, my favorite is their strawberry matcha latte 🥰 SO good! Sad to know that they discontinued their London fog as that was also one of my favs. Planning to keep coming here for a long long time as long as the quality stays the same. Lastly, can’t have a good coffee without a good service and I can say that all the staff here is superb friendly and helpful so you’ll feel right at home!

Maybe it was just an off day but I had bought a few different little treats, Madeline's, scones, garlic bread and they were all a bit on the stale side and crumbled a bit dryly. I was so bummed about it for I was so excited to try this spot. The strawberry matcha however was really good!! Not sweet but not bitter, perfect.

A matcha cheesecake and some basic but signature bakeries! Loved every single one of them

I visited the Cerritos location today with four friends. We ordered two Americanos, two cappuccinos, and one iced coffee, along with two scones and garlic bread. I was really disappointed with the coffee. It didn’t taste like it does at other locations—something was clearly off. It seemed like the espresso machine wasn’t extracting the shots properly, which made all the drinks taste weak and bland. We brought it up with the baristas, but they didn’t seem to understand the issue. They just asked if we wanted a more bitter blend. The place seemed poorly managed and clearly couldn’t maintain the same drink quality as their other locations. I’ve never had such poorly made coffee before. The owner should definitely look into the issue with their machine.

Pastries are good! Must try matcha bun with matcha whipped cream and nuts inside. Service is fast.

There are some unique and different pastries here at Smoking Tiger that you don't find at other pastry places. The different scones are a nice selection like matcha, ube, blueberry, Earl Grey, etc. and their sconkies are pretty good. One of my fave is the unique kimchee spam n cheese croissant and I also like the Kouign Aman but it always seem to be out. My least fave is probably the garlic cream cheese croissant as it just has way too much cheese in it but yea I can just scoop some out. The matcha drinks are pretty good here along with their coffee drinks. I enjoy the banana latte drink. There always seems to be a lot digital nomads working in the place whenever I visit as I see many laptops out.

I was super excited to check out Smoking Tiger Bread Factory after trying their San Gabriel Coffee Lab on a previous trip down to SoCal. The Coffee Labs carry some pastries but nowhere near the selection of what they offer at the Bread Factory. We got a huge box of pastries including the spam musubi croissants, salt breads, and garlic cream cheese bread. Everything was delicious, especially once warmed up. The musubi croissants would be my top recommendation here! The fish roe salt bread had a little too much fish roe for my taste, since I wasn't expecting the inside to also be filled with roe. They also have a wide selection of sweet pastries, madeleines and cakes, but I am more of a savory person so we didn't try those. I also ordered the apple cider matcha which was surprisingly delicious and perfect for fall!

I love coming to this spot in the morning -- it always smells amazing inside and they have a really nice selection of pastries. I always eye their cheesecake but haven't quite pulled the trigger on it yet. My go-to drink is either the Pineapple Express (jasmine tea with pineapple concentrate) or the Tiger Latte -- both are really solid options. The staff is super cool and the drinks come out quickly, which is always a plus. Their pastries are also really delicious and pair perfectly with the drinks. Just a really cozy, reliable place to start the day.

This is location is MUCH bigger than the Whittier and Rowland Heights locations that I've been to, I suppose since this is the "Bread Factory" location and not just a standard Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab. They have their mini cakes here too, which is great if you need to swing by with a smaller cake to a party. Towards the front, there's also a section you can purchase merchandise from, pick out some baked goods, and there is also a refrigerated section with bottled and canned drinks, premade cakes, and other foods. When you check out, you can sign up for their points program and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready if it needs to be warmed up. I feel like all of the locations have updated and I can no longer find my beloved chocolate mugwort latte anymore, but alas. I got another usual go to every time I see it, their banana milk latte. You can get other milk substitutes to for a nominal fee. Nicely sweet and was a decent pick me up. This drink only comes iced, but it's perfect for the warm day that I visited. I opted to get this less sweet and it was the perfect mid day pick me up. I also got their galbi musubi croissant, injeolmi madeleine (wasn't as much soybean powder on top of it compared to past pictures, but oh well), and a corn bread with cream and cornflakes inside. Overall, you can't go wrong with their pastries, not too sweet for the sweet ones and not too salty or oily for the savory ones. Definitely get them toasted. Seating can get a bit crowded, even with the larger location, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to snipe a seat inside. Overall, a solid, albeit busy location.

Wow stumbled on this place while visiting sprouts the other day.....so today after the movies we decided to stop by. Wow the vibe here is nice, welcomed as we walked in.... Lots to see, cold soft drinks to the left, to the right cute merch and in the middle plenty of pastries. Lots of seating and out door seating. We really enjoyed it here.... Thanks!!!

I really enjoyed this place. We arrived an hour prior to closing and it was still pretty busy. We all ordered a drink and grabbed a pastry. We found an empty table and waited for our orders. I ordered the seasonal peach latte and it was delicious. Make sure to stir it well so that the peach flavoring that is sitting at the bottom mixes well. My cousin had an iced chai and it was delcious. We grabbed a cheesecake to go and it was pretty good as it was not too sweet. The baristas were all friendly as they greeted us and thanked us for stopping by as we left. Wish we had this place in AZ!

Smoking Tiger has it all. The branding and aesthetics are on point. Baked good are expensive but many of them are worth it. Drinks are delicioussss. I love the mini latte, corn latte, and all their popular drinks. Matchas are ok. Staff are professional. Plenty of seats and parking at this location which I am VERY thankful for.

Yummy bread and pastry selections, along with some pretty good sandwiches, and their delectable drinks - definitely it's the newest spot in the quite busy Cerritos / Artesia area. They have outdoor seating that is pet friendly where you can enjoy a good cup of matcha or coffee along with their oh so yummy buttered, garlic bread. Inside is spacious and clean, staff is super friendly and although their selection of breads are less than that of 85 Degrees; however, the quality of it, in my opinion, outshined that of 85. Definitely my new favorite spot to grab some breads to enjoy with my cup of matcha on their nice, shaded patio. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 5/5

The first time I tried something from Smoking Tiger was at a pastry potluck at the office, and I knew I needed to come get more. It was the potato bread and it was and is spectacular! 5 stars alone for this item. Plenty of parking, not too crowded for a Sunday at 11:30am, but there was a consistent line at the ordering counter the entire 2 hours we were there. So many delectable pastries, cakes, coffees, beverages to choose from. There's also cold and hot sandwiches which I'll have to try next time. Staff is really nice and welcoming. They all vibing with each other which is always nice to see. This location used to be a bank so it's really spacious. It's got high ceilings and lotsa windows with plenty of seating inside as well as outside. Corn latte: Just ok. I didn't really taste the corn. Banana latte: yummmmmm! Potato bread: star of the show, main character energy, 10/10 SO good! I'll be coming here for this, always! Ham and cheese bread: good, not great. Matcha scone: good, but kinda dry, but the bits of mochi and chocolate chips are a pleasant surprise. Strawberry matcha scone: yummm! Cream is super sweet, but yummm! Kimchi musubi croissant: croissant was flaky and delicious. Not much of the kimchi flavor tho. Spam was spamming. Pressed croissant: wonderful! crunchy! not as sweet as I thought it would be, which was great. Oreo scone: yummmmm! Definitely coming back for more!

I probably stop by here more than I should, but the pastries here are just super good! They are always freshly made and have such a unique twist to them. I also love the modern aesthetics of the place, and just how spacious it is. It is definitely a good place to work/study as there are plenty of tables both inside and out to work at. The lines sometimes do get quite long, but it always moves by pretty quickly! From the looks of it, they do rotate some of their bread selections, but I feel whenever I go they always have a consistent few that I always see. If you dine in, they do offer to heat your pastries for you, so that is also a super nice touch. You honestly can't go wrong with any of their pastries. They have a wide selection from cookies, and scones to croissants and breads. Some of the pastries have a bigger twist than others, but for the most part I think they do well to make sure the unique twist compliments the pastries. I really love their croissant and spam masubi cross overs- the one with the kimchi and the one with the jalapeños are my favorite. I love how the saltiness of the spam compliments the crispy and flaky croissant.

This spot has a really environment and tons of seating so it's a great spot to study or get some work done. It's super comfortable and easy to hang out in for a while. The only downside is the coffee, which is pretty bad and not something I'd recommend.I've gotten it on three separate occasions where the coffee is very obviously burnt. This can be frustrating considering the price of one drink. The baked goods are solid but they're usually gone later in the day, so try to come earlier if you want options. Overall it's a great place to chill or work just maybe skip the coffee and grab a pastry if there are any left.

I've been coming to this location for the matcha granita. It's extremely good. The matcha taste is strong yet still decently sweet. It's the perfect ratio for me. The drink being a slushy/icee makes it perfect for those hot days. Even if you let it melt, it doesn't taste watered down. The only downside of this drink is the price. It's $7.75, and for the size you get, it is pricey. The seating at this location is plentiful but it does get busy quick. It's a good place to study or relax. Matcha Granita 5/5

I loved this place and I so wish we had a location in Arizona. I had an iced chai and it was delicious. It was simple but SOOO refreshing and good. The employees were all friendly and the inside was clean.

I saw this place looking for matcha in Cerritos. I love the easy parking and the large space to spread out. I ordered the summer matcha latte( peach chunks), it was very good but a little sweet for my liking. The peach blueberry scones are FiRE! They are so good. The matcha scone was a little dry and tasteless for my taste buds. It has a great vibe, very clean and the workers are very welcoming. I definitely would recommend it as a go to spot.

I am at Smoking Tiger all of the time! A majority of the time, I am participating in the goodie bags through TooGoodToGo. If you don't know what TooGoodToGo is, it is an app where you can buy unsold food from restaurants and other businesses at a discounted price. This typically means that you wouldn't be able to pick what you get, but it is significantly cheaper. Luckily, everything at Smoking Tiger is good and I am always happy with the blind goodie bags. I got a selection of treats, but most notably this Italian Tuna Salad Sandwich. It is super weird, yet really good! It is a tuna salad with strong flavors of tomato, oregano, and black olives. It strangely works really well together, especially between two slices of their soft, pillowy bread.  If you don't want to gamble with a blind goodie bag, I think their selection of pastries at standard pricing is still very worth it, especially for some of my favorite items like mochi pie.

I've tried every other smoking tiger spots, and this one is probably the most aesthetic and biggest location that I've been to! When you walk in, there is a pastry display on the right side with the drinks you can order at the counter. I love the drinks here at Swati, including the corn latte and all the Korean inspired specialty drinks that they make here. I always get their corn latte here with some pastries. All of the pastries are super soft and they make it fresh every day. The seating is both indoors and outdoor patio seating. Great group outings, study dates, or just a quick bread pick up spot. Check them out :)

First timer at this location! Weekday afternoon. Lots of parking. Super friendly staff. I've gone to two different locations and this one is by far my favorite. Beautiful, clean, and extra spacious with lots of seating both indoors and outdoors. Great selection of goodies to choose from. Delicious coffee. Good music. We really enjoyed our experience here. Til next time!

Super fresh and tasty pastries. I walked in around 8am and a lot of the pastries were being put out. The workers were kind and friendly. It is a pretty big establishment, perfect for hanging out with friends, and also studying. The coffee was decent.

They have a large and beautiful space that accommodate working or studying people, a large drink selection, and gorgeous, aesthetically pleasing looking baked goods to choose from. It's an ideal place to gather content for Insta reels. LOL! The Hojicha Latte is good--not sweet (the description says it is sweetened by a hint of vanilla), mild tea taste and overall balanced as a tea/latte drink. Their very popular Garlic Cream Cheese Bread looks amazing and tastes good--heavy on the cream cheese followed by the garlic. I do wish the garlic flavor was more powerful though (but my sons loved it). Their Ube scone is quite good. I've never had much luck with my palate loving scones although I always fantasize that I love them. However, I enjoyed this scone because it was soft with the subtle Ube flavor coming through. I would have to say it's probably the best scone I've personally had--usually scones are too dense for me. The workers are busy and hard working. The cashier was friendly and helpful (although he was more informational than someone who wanted to recommend--like, is the scone better heated--Answer, either way is good, would you like it to be heated?). Drinks and breads were ready rather quickly. I enjoyed my visit here.

It took me a while to make it back to this location, but I'm happy to update my review to a full 5 stars. We stopped by early on a Saturday and tried the ube scone, seaweed spam croissant, and garlic salt bread. I didn't think we'd finish everything, but we ended up enjoying every last bite while sitting outside and sipping on a Tiger Latte. The bread was fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The pet-friendly outdoor seating is a big plus in my book, definitely part of why this spot earns a perfect rating. They also have a convenient self-serve water station, which is always appreciated. From what I've seen, this seems to be the only true "bread" factory location. Unlike the one near me in San Gabriel, which is more of a coffee shop with a smaller bread selection.

The quality of pastries and drinks here are fantastic! They have a great variety of sweet and savory. This location is spacious, with lots of natural light, and clean. There's a parking lot shared with multiple other businesses that has available parking.

The only thing that was good here was the garlic cream cheese bread. I also tried the pumkin and chesnut mochi, both were meh~ Thieir drinks were not that good. The strawberry matcha was pretty watered down, needs more strawberry puree. The corn latte was too sweet, and tasted more like condensed milk instead of corn. The service was not good either. The two girls that was working were not in a good mood, they looked pissed, I asked if the strawberry matcha was good and they didn't even answer me, I guess it was because they new it wasn't good. I dont think I'll come back to this location.

My boyfriend and I was looking for a new place to try coffee and came across this place. Came here for the first time last week and came back literally the same day and the next. Upon arriving, the place is very open and there are tons of parking space which is great so no need to struggle finding a spot. They have an outdoor patio in case you were wanting to enjoy the fresh air outside and they also have a good amount of space inside. As you enter, you see a variety of pastries. There were so many options. We did try all of the Musubis and I'd have to say the Jalapeño Spam Musubi Croissant was my favorite. It had great texture and the jalapeños weren't spicy at all. It was super flavorful. We also had the korean pizza which we also enjoyed. We did not get to try much of the sweet pastries, but they all looked so great. We did end up trying the Corn Mochi and Sweet Potato Mochi which had really unique flavor and such a nice Mochi texture. In regards to drinks, I first tried their seasonal of Matcha Grapefruit.. I was definitely not a fan but the next day I ended up getting the Sweet Corn Latte which tasted great! My boyfriend enjoyed their Tiger Latte and the Banana Milk Latte. Overall, had a really great experience. They offer a large variety of unique items and definitely want to come back to try more of them.

So happy I stumbled on this place this weekend! I felt like a kid in a candy store with so much cool and unique bakery goods. Huge garlic buns, so yummy and the texture and flavor were on point. The blueberry scones wasn't too sweet and soft and flakey. I had the flatten croissant and I should of gotten the one the toppings, the original just was a flatten croissant with a tiny bit of glazed on it. I also got the nutella one and that one was really good and packed with flavor. The place was cute for studying or catching up with a friend. Service was great and friendly.

Breads are whatever here, drink is good, but service is wack. ========= FREEZING in here make sure to wear pants and a jacket. Thermostat said 68f!!! Everyone is studying and it seems pretty comfy, not sure about outlets but lots of seating. They were playing Korean chill music, but because the spot is so big, it didn't seem like it was too loud. I can be here without headphones. Got a sweet pumpkin mochi bread, which was ok. Drink was very good, I can taste the coffee and sweet potato. What I didn't like was the service, it was very odd. A coffee was $6, bread is $2.5, cashier charged me $19, I paid it, got a refund of $10 (because I looked over the receipt) and she said sorry, she mischarged me. After I got the refund, she then charges me $2.5 for the same bread. When I asked why, she said it was protocol. Which makes no sense to me because I already paid for it. Why do I need to pay for it again?

If you want to load up on carbs, this is the place for you! All the baked goods that we ordered were DELICIOUS. Zero complaints. My favorites were the mochi bread and cream cheese garlic bread. All the sweet pastries were not too sweet. All the savory breads were perfectly savory. What's even great is that they'll bake your items if you choose! How great is that?!?! I came early so not too busy. But a line formed once I bought my breads. Plenty of seating. Outdoor seating is also available It's very spacious! Plenty of parking also. Run, don't walk, to Smoking Tiger!

Finally decided to try this place after seeing it all over social media. Located in a very bustling plaza, parking is plentiful but it is a little crowded on the weekends. Smoking Tiger Bread Factory is a Korean bakery, similar to Tous les Jour or Paris Baguette, where there are various pastries and breads on display to put on your tray and then you pay at the front cashier as well as order your drinks. I came at 2pm on a Saturday so they display cases were a little barren looking after the morning and afternoon crowd. I was still able to see a wide selection of unique pastries and goodies that aren't commonly found such as pumpkin and corn mochis, many different flavors of madelines, fluffy croissants, scones, and kroongjis (crispy flat croissants) to name a few. There is also a refrigerator full of ready made savory sandwiches, and flavored cheesecakes. I tried the famous cream cheese garlic bread; delicious savory garlic butter with fluffy sweet bread. It's a perfect decadent treat. There is also the similar looking honey butter walnut bread that is very reminiscent of the Korean honey butter chips (iykyk) if savory garlic isn't what you're into. I think my favorite of all the items I got was the biscoff/lotus smores cronkie (which is a cookie and scone hybrid but to me a more accurate description would be that it's a New York style cookie- large and dense). The outside is a nice crisp texture but the inside is dense and chewy. If you are a fan of levain-style cookies then you'll love the cronkies here. I also tried the banana milk latte which is quite delicious. The banana does not taste very natural, but it's reminiscent of the artificial Korean banana milk from the yellow juice boxes. The banana taste was very subtle but still very tasty. This latte is more on the lighter side. Do note that the bread is very cold since it's sitting on the display case all day. I think it would be alot more enjoyable if the bread was reheated and should have asked the cashier if they could do that. I also don't like how there is not a clean pair of tongs for each person (like at other popular Asian bakeries) but instead there is always tongs/serving utensils inside of the display cases that are reused the touched my multiple people throughout the day... seems a little unsanitary to me. I will be back another time to try popular items that were sold out, such as their salt bread!

Plenty of variety and aesthetically crafted breads. Spacious seating, but it was pretty crowded on a Sunday, maybe because it was during finals week.

Okay, first off I'm definitely coming back! I've been wanting to try the cream cheese garlic bread for forever now and I finally did at Smoking Tiger Bread Factory. I know, I'm so late to the game. Service was quick and friendly. I asked for the bread to be toasted and heated up so it was tossed in the toaster oven for a little bit and the bread came out smelling so good, but it also tasted as good warm! There were lots of seating but most of them were occupied. I can see why this Smoking Tiger location is so popular, it's a cute spot to hang out with friends and catch up with a variety of pastries, bread, and drinks. With so many things I still want to try at Smoking Tiger, I'll definitely make my way back when I get the chance!

Ridiculous why didn't I write this review????? I've been here a bunch of times and didn't write my review!?!?!??! The bread and pastry items are pretty good but I lay off nowadays because I'm pretty much am laying off items with dairy as much as I can....(I already did but I am just trying to be more stringent).... The drinks are pretty good the coffee drinks are just okay for coffee drinks but some of their other drinks are good.... I've had the house coffee, lattes, Tiger Latte and like I said they are all decent... My favorite drink there though is YSL = Yuzu Sparkling Lemonade.... The place can get noisy and really busy at times.... All the employees are friendly and nice.... A good place to hangout with friends and/or "try" to do work or study....

I'm such a matcha snob and one of my favorite drinks ever is the strawberry matcha latte. I have yet to find a place that does it better than Smoking Tiger. The drink has such a smooth consistency and is so refreshing. The matcha and strawberry purée is high quality. Also the drink to ice ratio is perfect. I hate it when my drink is majority ice and then the actual drink gets diluted; you will NOT get that here. Smoking Tiger actually gives you light ice without having to ask for it. Additionally, the vibe here is so cute. It's modern, clean, with plenty of sunshine. Perfect place to catch up with a friend or study.

Stopped by for my corn latte and corn mochi fix :) Consistently great latte, pastries and interior. Spacious and open with plenty of seatings for singles/groups. Service was minimal but the staff was knowledgeable when asked which bean roast is used with their lattes. Smoking Tiger chain you are doing the darn thing!

I came on a Monday evening around 5:30 pm and it was super packed. There's plenty of tables with outlets making this a great place to study. However, it's pretty loud so bring noise cancelling headphones! Wifi is also available. No outdoor foods/drinks. Lots of parking space. Almost all the bread was sold out so I will definitely be back to try the bread option! Overall, much more spacious with more bakery options compared to their SGV location. They have their classic signature drinks and also do seasonal drinks. Current seasonal drinks include a sweet pumpkin cream top cinnamon latte, purple sweet potato latte, and chestnut latte. I got the Goguma latte (sweet potato) and it was phenomenal! Definitely recommend if you love sweet potato. Banana milk latte ($5.75) Goguma Time ($6.00)

I have had Smoking Tiger bookmarked for the longest time, so of course I was excited when work brought me to the area! This location is in a shared parking lot that, although pretty full, was still easy enough to find a place to park. Upon walking in, I realized they are the type of bakery that has the case where you select what you want and bring it to the counter to pay and get drinks. I already knew I wanted to try the cream cheese garlic bread, and I also grabbed a little pumpkin mochi. First grip is that you do not get your own personal set of tongs to use; the tongs are already inside the case for all customers to use, similar to a buffet. Please switch to personal tongs for sanitary reasons like the other popular chain bakeries! When I walked up to the counter, also to order a drink, there were a couple employees on the other side but they looked up from what they were doing and saw me, then kept doing what they were doing. They just looked at me and kept working while having a conversation. It's not a problem that they had other drinks to make, but please acknowledge the customer instead of ignoring, like "we'll be right with you", or even a "welcome" or something. After waiting, one of them finally came over and I ordered a matcha latte and paid. Since it was my first visit he asked if I wanted to sign up for their rewards. I entered my phone number then waited for my drink. I didn't k ow they have a toaster to heat up pastries, but after I got my drink I asked the other employee near me if it would be OK to heat the garlic bread (it was bagged, I had not touched it or removed it) and she was helpful with getting that warmed up. The garlic bread was tasty; the way it was warmed up did leave the cream cheese still a bit cold but the rest of the bread was hot and crispy. It was actually pretty nice! Very rich and creamy inside. The pumpkin mochi was good but not something I think I need to get again. It's cute how it was shaped to look like a little pumpkin, but the filling was like a very lightly flavored pumpkin pie filling. Not heavily spiced; it was super subtle but it was good. The matcha latte was disappointing, so I would not get that again. It had that muddy green color of instant matcha powders and tasted too milky for my taste. If you don't like the grassy matchas and like yours sweet, you might like this. The pastries in the case looked good but I'm not sure how quick I will be to come back to this location after the service. I just felt like I was interrupting something when I wanted to pay, and customers shouldn't be made to feel that way.

Came around Sunday afternoon and there was a good selection of pastries left, but I felt there was a lot of empty shelves. We ordered 2 madeleines (vanilla bean & injeolmi), the salt & corn breads, a matcha scone/cookie, and cinnamon scone. I wasn't expecting the breads to have sweet cream inside of them but they were good, I preferred the salt over corn one. The cinnamon scone was delicious too! The matcha sconkie had raisins on top which I wasn't a fan of but the rest was tasty. The madeleines were good but typical. I tried my cousin's strawberry matcha as well but wish it was sweeter

I went to try the garlic cream cheese bread because I saw a reel on IG but I wasn't a fan of it. The cream cheese is sweet and the rest is salty but very very strong garlic flavor. I think it could taste better if the cream cheese is not sweet and the best thing would be if they have the option to serve it warm, cold was not good. Not coming again. We algo bought the croissant which tasted good but nothing I haven't tasted before. Place was clean and employees were nice.

This was a spur of the moment and I'm glad I found this gem. Upon entering I realized this place was similar to 85 degrees and Paris Baguette. We arrived later in the day so options were slim. I don't know the exact name of it but the garlic croissant with cream cheese was my favorite!!! I also got the spam croissant with kimchi and the garlic breadstick with honey. I love garlic! I got a drink from the fridge, Chi sparkling grape, and it was refreshing! Service was great. There were only two of them when we were there but didn't make us wait too long. Definitely left a good first impression!! I'll be back for more!

Oh goodness this place is so so good. I will be back to try more goodies! I highly recommend their cream cheese garlic bread, it's popular for a reason. So savory and great flavor. A real highlight for me was their YSL. So delicious and yummy. I did not like their tangerine tea because I didn't really taste the tangerine but I did get it without sugar so I can't expect a syrup to make the flavor pop or something! The staff were very friendly and answered our questions and I would love to come and just hang out with a few friends here.

Place has a laid back vibe, nicely decorated. Staff was nice. Parking was easy. Pastries I got were okay, a bit overpriced imo.

Came here right when it was open. No line and service was quick. Got the corn latte and cream cheese garlic bread. Sweet corn latte was good. I love the corn cream! Need more of it next time. Cream cheese garlic bread was good. Cream cheese was a bit sweet for me. I like the decor of the seating area that they had.

It is a beautiful place inside!! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was a bit slow due to the long line. It is on the pricier end form what I would prefer. There's a good number of pastries to choose from. A pastry can be $6-$7! The presentation is unlike any other I've seen for bread shops. The jeju orange drink was about $3-$4, and it hit my cravings for some vitamin C. I will be gifting this box to my family.

Love coming here for study/WFH days with friends! There's plenty of seating, drinks to try, and a variety of unique Asian fusion pastries that are a must-try! I've been here on weekdays to get work done and luckily we were able to find a spot with an outlet each time. It can get a bit busy sometimes, but customers do come and go so it doesn't take long to find a seat.
