Beautiful spot for coffee and sweets. Hidden away somewhat but I was pleasantly surprised about how nice and ample it was inside .the coffee selections are great. They even make a coffee on charcoal. It also has a nice patio. You can sit outside and enjoy California sun
I frequently used to come to this Cafe pre covid. I'm glad they are back. The turkey pesto is a good size. I will definitely order it again. The display case had some delicious offerings for next time.
Cozy n Homie
Lowkey coffee shop in a small business complex. Perfect place to get comfy while working on a laptop.
The barista was nice but very busy because he was the only one working there at 8:30am. Expect a 15min wait at minimum if there is people in front of you.
Latte was okay. Not bad but not amazing. Give a try, maybe it’ll be your spot.

We came during our lunch break to get a little pick me up. It was a hot afternoon so we appreciated the nice cool AC in there. The staff was friendly. I got a spice chai latte with soy and it was so good!! I've been here once before and I forgot what I got but I also enjoyed it!! I would like to try their lunch items one time. Oh and everything is reasonably priced. They take cash or card. There's a lot of books there too and some tables to sit down and enjoy.
Great coffee - gotta try the charcoal mocha! Delicious espresso mixed with dark chocolate & a hint of coconut - exotic but familiar taste. Shop is sort of hidden away in a strip mall. Looks small but very roomy inside. Can accommodate large groups
Also has an assortment of baked goods, breakfast & lunch food. Prices are totally reasonable for coffee of this good quality.
Will definitely make this one of my regular coffee spots!
I really loved studying here pre-covid. It's a great coffee shop open well into the evening hours and a great community spot. I've sat next to a dungeons and dragons Meetup, a group of people discussing creating a start-up, a manga artist, etc. It was really motivating as I was studying for my fellowship. Enjoy the atmosphere and coffee. I hope this small business continues to stick around in Brea.
*UPDATE 6/16* They just reopened today and mentioned they've had issues with updating information on Google. Check their Yelp page for the most up to date info.
They are NOT reopen yet! I was very excited this morning when I saw the page saying they were open for takeout since I've been waiting for them to reopen. I drove 15 minutes today before work to grab my coffee and the door was locked but there were two employees inside still cleaning furniture. Pre-covid I've also arrived during posted store hours to find the door locked but with the lights on inside. This is the reason i'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.
That all being said I love their coffee, the staff is nice, and it's a fantastic place to meet with friends. This is a great little hidden coffee shop. They make my favorite cappuccino, something so simple but it just tastes better.
A wonderful cozy coffee shop!
They have delicious breakfast sandwiches and my go to drink is their charcoal mocha! Sounds odd, but is so yummy and unique!
I want to take time to thank Danny, a worker at International Coffee Shop. Not only does he always make my drink orders to perfection, he always offers assist by bringing them out to my car (I use a walker to ambulate). He is always friendly and shows compassion. Thanks Danny!
Feels super local and cozy, obviously very different from all the big name/overrated coffee shops like Starbucks and that's what I adore about this place. Not crowded at all, cutesy decorations on the wall with some miscellaneous collections, friendly barista, great place to study or chillax.
