Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab - Fullerton

I love Smoking Tiger and I would come here all the time to study, but they changed everything about it. Apparently the owner is different, and the coffee is worse. The aesthetic was really nice and it had a lot of Korean elements, but now all the packaging sucks and it has that ugly minimalist look of a generic coffee shop. And they got rid of all the original baristas which makes me sad.

Great study spot. They played some great tunes too. Would definitely come back. I got a iced chai with oat milk. 10/10

I walked in this morning to order my usual phenomenal coffee I've been treating myself to here for months but saw that they've changed the entire menu to one that's very basic, and the change is apparently permanent. I reluctantly ordered the cold brew and it's just so underwhelming compared to what they used to offer. This truly so disappointing.

Cute little Korean coffee shop in dt Fullerton. Looks like a really nice place to hang out and get some work done. There's several parking lots nearby since the street is closed off. Service was good and pretty quick. Came here craving a really good matcha latte. I got the hojicha iced latte with oat milk because it had vanilla in it. I was a little disappointed/confused it didn't have a vibrant green color and the taste was just okay. I wish I had just gotten the original ceremonial matcha. I was really intrigued by their pastry selection, everything looked soo good especially the cinnamon bun. But I went with the almond danish which i completely devoured right after. It was super flaky and the almond filling was very yummy with the perfect amount of sweetness. I would def come back to try more of their pastries!

4.5/5 Love and appreciate the a variety of non coffee items on the menu! I came around 4pm on a Monday. There were several people quietly working on their laptops, and still open seating. It was pretty quiet, save the sound of the AC, considering how many people were there. Great study spot! Hojicha Latte $6 with no sugar aka vanilla sweetener : I'm a fan of strong tea, so I'm glad that the aftertaste of the latte was actually moderately strong of the tea aroma most cafes in OC just make tea lattes taste like milk. It was kind of grainy, but the tea aroma made up for it. Next time, I need to order it with less ice!The cashier was also so welcoming and warm hearted while taking the orders of my friend and I. : Def coming back to try the menu!
