Coffee Code — Restaurant in Buena Park

Unfortunately I have to update the review here to a place that used to be 5 stars We've been coming for over the past four years now and the service has been on a downtrend. The coffee itself is still good but not enough to continue coming back. My wife constantly orders the matcha latte and it used to be filled to the close to the brim and you have to hope the employee who makes it the right way is working to get it the way it's supposed to be and not an inch away from the top.

The real issue however is the customer service. The past few times we've been coming here we've noticed the staff isn't as friendly as they used to be. On a previous occasion my wife ordered a large matcha latte with the cashier but we received a small one. When we asked about the size the barista (same guy 👓 who took the order) said "ok, we'll have to charge you the difference" but didn't apologize for not getting it right when he took the order or the inconvenience. And we can then see them glancing behind the counter at us after as if we did something wrong. (We're not the ones who handed out incorrect orders and failed to listen, buddy.)

Today we ordered pastries with our drinks and asked for them both to be warmed up. When I got mine and took a bite out of it... Well I'm sure you guessed it, it was cold like the baristas personality 🥶.

Thinking it would be a sanitation issue to have it warmed up after being bitten I was reluctant to ask them to warm it up but figured to at least let them know (as an entrepreneur, I value feedback and figured they would too) so I told the barista. Again, no apology was given. But rather a "you could've said something earlier" was given (even though, I had specifically asked for it to be warmed up in the first place)... The then half-eaten-cold-not-baked-in-house-pastry was warmed up and handed back with a lack of customer service or even a 'sorry about that'.

They say the customer is always right but I guess today we were wrong.... Wrong to come here...

Adios...

Originally this spot was a Togo's for the longest time, and then it turned into a crepe place that didn't do very well. I hope Coffee Code stays as it's in an odd and kind of dead location/plaza. :0

I've tried the Berry Berry Waffle ($5.95), Honey Toast ($3.99) and Sweet Potato Latte (large $4+)

Ambiance is pretty cool, with the korean music videos looping on the big screen, a comfy couch, and tables with handmade decorations underneath.

The Berry Berry Waffle was big, with lots of fresh fruit and ice cream. Yummy ^^ For the price it was decent.

Honey Toast I was OK on. They have a Happy Hour deal where Mon-Fri from 2-5 pm, the Honey Toast is $1 if you buy two $3.99+ drinks. That would be worth it as most of the large drinks are around that range. It's not brick toast though, it's 3 slices of toast on top of each other with honey and ice cream on the side.

The Sweet Potato Latte I really liked. It felt like a hot sweet potato shake with chunks of potato xD Wasn't too sweet or rich, just right.

They close at 12 am so for a sleepy city like Buena Park, it's good to have some place to crawl to for snacks/coffee and chilling at 11 pm without...
