 IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON LIFE!

This place is just too cute to not visit. The decor inside is simple yet cute and has that cliche yet appropriate paris eiffel theme. The coffee here is also superb. One of the best! And if you're not into coffee, they have various non-coffee drinks like hot chocolate, chai latte, and matcha latte! If you're hungry for dessert, this place does not lack in that area at all! They've got parfaits and belgium waffles that not only look appetizing but also taste like a gift for your tastebuds.

Almost everytime my international friends visit, I introduce them to this place and they LOVE IT! Why?

• Their latte art is amazing. You can even request what type of latte art you want and they'll try their best to accommodate. (They even won 1st Place at the Latte Art World Championship Open 2013)
• The taste of their lattes is top-notch. So yummy and creamy at the same time! I don't even like coffee but I'll go here for coffee!
• They have different methods of brewing coffee including pour-over and siphon
• They use Klatch coffee beans
• They have DELICIOUS dessert. My favorite is the belgium waffles with fruits and ice cream!
• It's a cute little place to hang out and chit - chat (though this place can get really crowded and noisy at times!)
• The staff are super friendly ^_^
• This place is great after a long day at Knotts Berry Farm.

Referring back to the fact that they won the Latte Art World Championship Open 2013, here is a quote from this article below:

Latte Art World Championship Open Coffee Fest's Latte Art World Championship Open featured 64 baristas in a head-to-head, bracket style, free pour latte art showdown. The 2013 Chicago World Championship Open had an Olympic feel with an astounding 22 international competitors who traveled from Japan, China, Australia, and Canada to compete in Chicago. After three days of intense competition, the champions were named:
* 1st place
- Winning $2,000 and a 1st place trophy: Jennifer Chun (Hye Sung Chun) - Coffee Code, Buena Park, CA
This was just Jennifer’s second attempt to compete in Coffee Fest’s Latte Art World Championship Open. In her first competition she was eliminated in the opening round. "To rebound from that experience and go all the way through to the Championship is truly a remarkable accomplishment" said David Heilbrunn, show manager for Coffee Fest. Additionally he said, "Jennifer is just the second female barista to win this competition and the first since 2007. To win this competition is truly like scaling the mountain, it is difficult, and the level of expertise of all 64 of the competitors is off the charts. To come from out of nowhere and win this competition on your second attempt is unheard of. The odds had to have been astronomical."  
* 2nd place - Winning $1,000 and a 2nd place trophy Junichi Yamaguchi - FORC Yokohama Japan
* 3rd place - Winning $500 and a 3rd place trophy Kenny Smith - Sunergos Coffee - Louisville, KY
