Smoking Tiger Bread Factory - Whittier, California

Tee R.

My sweet husband treated me to coffee and pastries for my birthday, and it was such a thoughtful surprise! He brought back two lattes: the sweet corn latte, topped with a unique corn foam, and the Tiger latte. The sweet corn latte was surprisingly different, but I found the corn foam paired really well with the coffee's flavors. The Tiger latte, on the other hand, tasted like a classic, regular latte—good, but nothing too extraordinary. I’m not a coffee connoisseur or daily drinker, so I just go for what tastes good, and both drinks definitely fit the bill!

He also picked up a couple of bread options: a cream cheese garlic bread and a hot dog croissant. Both were delicious and made for a fun treat alongside the coffee. I hope to visit this coffee shop myself sometime soon to try more of their drinks and baked goods.

Stumbled upon this fantastic Korean café. We loved the baked items, breakfast sandwich and lattes so much that we came back twice, picking up items to go to bring on our flight back to Vancouver. We'll definitely be coming back when we're in LA!

Tried the tiger latte with a salt bread and passion fruit croissant.

Latte wasn't too bitter nor too sweet and a perfect recommendation.

If you're looking for something savory, flaky, with just the right amount of buttery deliciousness the salt bread is for you.

On the other spectrum if you want something more on the sweet side but still full of flaky texture the passion fruit croissant is the way to go. Don't forget to ask for it warmed up at the counter if you're enjoying it in the shop!

Really love coming here when I want a good cup of coffee! I've tried a bunch of drinks, but, I always get a banana milk latte. It's one of my favorite flavor combinations. I've never gotten something bad! I got an espresso tonic, which I didn't think I would like, but I ended up loving it and got it a lot during the summer.

Drove in from Chino, birthday treat for my wife.
Awesome vibe soon as we walked in the door. Extremely friendly staff.
We ordered 3 of the breads: Cream cheese and garlic, Bacon potato and the Ham and cheese.

Cream cheese and garlic is an amazing treat. Silky, creamy and the right amount of garlic butter.

Bacon potato was a true surprise. Imagine biting into a bun, thinking it’s a loaded baked potato but instead you dive into a potato croquet. A must have.

The ham and cheese struck a personal core memory. Ham and cheese, red onions, mustard and bbq sauce with butter brushed over it. Reminded me of picnics with my family. These are the sandwiches my mom made.

Highly recommended. Come and enjoy these treats.

This is a new location that I HIGHLY prefer over the others. First, it was hard to find, but it's right next door and attached to Aldi.

I feel like their baked goods are a lot tastier than the flavors they have in the Buena Park location too.

Customer service is substantially better here too. Over in BP, I see faces early in the morning who seem to not want to be there. However, this new location had two Asian girls working at the time who had energy, was smiling, and were approachable.

What topped it off, aside from these delicious blueberry and chocolate gigantic cookies I got, was that the girl at the register decided to pay for an elderly woman's coffee.

Note: They are credit card only at this time. So, she informed the older lady of this and stated she would cover for her at this time. I thought that was super sweet.

I will definitely be back to this specific location.

Best coffee spot in Whittier. Their matcha drinks are really good and what makes this place better than the rest for me are their baked goods. I have not had something I did not like. Their corn mochi and chestnut mochi are so good!

Delicious coffee! I’m so glad Whittier finally opened a smaller coffee shop with delicious coffee! Although Im new to this place so I haven’t tried many of their drinks yet, I loved the first one I tried so much I was craving it, so went back the next day. I got the fireplace latte, and for me it was the perfect balance of sweet and coffee. It’s really difficult to find that good balance. Either the lattes are like the ones at Starbucks too milky or too syrupy that you barely feel like you’re drinking coffee, or it’s so strong and almost bitter. In this drink I can taste all the ingredients. The customer service is great too. So far the two times I went the workers were so kind, which is a huge plus especially because nowadays customer service isn’t so good anymore, so I appreciate it when I do get it. I don’t like to regular coffee shops where I feel like a nuisance. In the future I will try their other drinks. But so far so good! I hope more ppl come here because we can really use more of these kinds of cafes around here~ My ONLY complaint which is not even a complaint but more unfortunate for me, is that I wish they opened at 7 instead of 8! I wish I could get a coffee from here for my commute to school, but I leave at 7 so they open too late for me to get it on my way to school which is unfortunate 🙁 but glad it’s not far from me so I can get a coffee whenever I’m going to study~ (:
