Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread

New favorite coffee shop! Starting off with the Strawberry Matcha Latte - matcha wasn't bitter, and the Strawberry wasn't overly sweet, with both flavors balancing out. Now onto their pastries...some of the lightest scones I've ever eaten. Their garlic bread is 👌, and their croissants are made really well, with great layers in the croissants. Their kouign amann is made with various creams and were *chef's kiss*

Yummy pastries, creative drinks! Lots of tables and the store is nicely decorated.

I got the iced black sesame latte with oatmilk and 1 shot of espresso. The staff was extremely kind and friendly. The location is #1 because it has their own parking spot.

Wow. Truly one of the best coffee shops I’ve been too in terms of taste and flavor! It’s a korean styled coffee shop, The blueberry matcha was SO GOOD - one of the best matcha lattes I’ve ever had. It was really genuine and quality. They have original drinks and specialities — a list of matcha specialities. I also shared the sweet potatoe bun and the cream cheese garlic bun - which is the best of the best. I’ve never had anything like it before and it truly is one of the best bread/pastries I’ve ever had… MUST TRY!!!
If you’re looking for a spot to get coffee, hang with friends or meet up with someone this is a good place with ample parking. The good and drinks are just truly amazing.

cool Korean style cafe. - good place to hangout, quality bakery and some unique drinks.

it was super busy on sunday afternoon. every table was full.

they do have cool menu you can only find at Korean style cafe. I recommend to order drinks online to save time.
I tried 쑥 라떼 (don’t remember english name, it’s sort of green herb with strong bitter taste) and it was delicious.

They do have cool bakeries too. Unfortunately we didnt have much options but two bakeries we’ve got (garlic bread and bean cake? 마늘빵, 영양콩떡빵?) was super delicious.

I wish they do have more chairs outside though. There were a lot of big groups when I visited, and there were some empty tables due to short of chairs. They could seat if they have some extra chairs.

There's variety of drinks on the menu - from your typical coffee items to matcha and tea. There's also a selection of pastries and vread you can buy. I really like the atmosphere where - There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Doesn't look like there's a lot of outlets though, in case you want to work/study out of the cafe.

This place is the best cafe in Buena Park to study at. Their drinks are good and they have plenty of seating inside/out with a lot of plugs. They also sell bakery items and cute merchandise. I like how they care about their aesthetics. Just look at this cup… A+ to the graphic designer I mean wow.

Lovely fancy interior vibes! My friend recommend me to drink a coffee. There are also many breads..yammy

Probably one of my favorite coffee drinks is at Smoking Tiger. it's called the Banana Kick and it's absolutely amazing.

The place is pretty big and there is a lot of space for just people to lounge and chill while enjoying their coffee. Also a good local place to study and get your work done if you live nearby.

I just wish the big tables had some outlet or extension cords for people to charge their computers and tablets.

Service is amazing... Andy and Jurie are both super patient and kind to their customers.

A nice coffee shop in Buena Park with baked goods. Personally, this location is better than other one in Cerritos. Coffee tastes a combination of bitterness and sourness at the same time. Their service is quick. A must to visit if you are around.

Ordered Tiger Latte without knowing it is iced only. They made another one for free. Great vibe, spacious tables. Love this brand!

I’ve been to a lot of coffee shops. All the way from San Diego to Minnesota to Montreal. I’ve tried a lot of espresso based drinks with and without syrup/flavouring. And in the top three of any coffee drink I’ve had is the banana kick at Smoking Tiger. If you’ve ever considered trying it, get it. And then get it again with a bit of added chocolate. Bomb.

That Garlic Bread!! You have to try it. Trust me. You will love it! And the strawberry milk!

Great place to study. Interior aesthetics are nice. Drinks are solid - had a Spaniard iced. Super helpful staff, they filled up my friends water bottle even though there were a lot of customers waiting.

The Banana Kick was amazing!! 100% recommend. It has a cozy environment with great music. Large space for large study groups.

I’ve seen The Smoking Tiger Coffee and Bread stop any times but i finally gave it a go today. I purchased a smokin Spaniard and it was very flavorful. It may sound silly but the to go cups are the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. High marks!

This has been my go to cafe since COVID started. I think I go here at least 3x a week 😅
I love their drinks - my favorites are the iced americano, Tiger latte, and Smoking Spaniard. Their mocktails are also very refreshing and tasty! On top of their drinks they make delicious pastries (blueberry scones are freaking good and those lemon madeleines are my vice) on the daily. Everyone’s very nice and friendly. The outdoor seating areas are so cute and convenient and their aesthetics as A1 👌. I always recommend this place to my friends!

Epic Strawberry Matcha. Bacon and Chives croissant a bit salty but still lots of tasty treats.

Had the strawberry matcha and a cheesecake pastry (I forgot the actual name) and both items were incredible. The strawberry matcha was particularly delicious. I plan on trying the coffee the next time I visit as a regular told me that's what their known for!

10/10 would recommend this cafe to ANYONE. We visited while traveling from Oregon and wish we could come here everyday. The ham and cheese mini loaf was amazing as well as our drinks, the banana kick and the tiger latte. They homemake all syrups and have milk alternatives. The prices are fair and the quality is amazing. The barista was also extremely nice, personable and helpful. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area again.
