They’re famous for coffee but I don’t drink coffee, so ordered the matcha instead and they’re extremely good. The mugwort one is my favorite because I can have some wonderful mugwort flavor too. The matcha used here is high quality and they put the perfect amount. It really feels like drinking real matcha, not some sugar water with green color.

Interest coffee options, like Korean corn latte. Not the best, but unique enough to warrant a visit!

Excellent coffee and variety. Had the black frost latte and it was delicious! walk-up ordering might be a wait, but you can order ahead on their app/website!

banana coffee latte is good!

Smoking Tiger is one of those low-key Korean cafés that quietly does everything right. They have multiple locations around the SGV, and the newest one in Monterey Park (same plaza as The Tea) is especially nice. Coffee and matcha are consistently good and reasonably priced, and they always have unique seasonal drinks. My current favorite is the Black Forest Latte—rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Friendly staff, easy parking, and a solid spot to meet friends or get some work done.

Classic! Always hits

Great drinks!
