What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Overall good place to drink coffee. Ordered a hotteok (~$6.25). Order was done pretty fast and in a nice looking cup/top. The drink was nice to drink, especially during the winter with its strong cinnamon nutty tatse. The atmposhere is great as well, since the interior is spacious with a simple yet pleasing color theme. The workers there was also nice and friendly."
"I asked for half sweet and in true Korean cafe fashion, it was still crazy sweet. Tiger latte half sweet was a decent sweet latte with a darker roast bordering on unmemorable. The sesame hojicha was not gritty and hojicha flavor came through even with dairy milk. The pineapple express was insanely sweet (did I say this place leans sweet) and honestly what you’d imagine a pineapple refresher to taste like otherwise. Drinks are large and a very reasonable price! There are a lot of tables."
"Wow finally a Smoking Tiger near me!! The space is so nice and service is very friendly. I got the Tiger Latte, not too sweet~ will definitely be back!"
"obsessed with the jeju matcha - such a great flavor with zero bitterness. shout out to joe, my favorite barista, for recommending it to me! on days i don’t get the matcha, i usually get their cappuccino - can’t go wrong. amazing drinks, vibes, and service! 11/10 no notes"
"Love smoking tiger! The skonkies are great, and the coffee is delicious. Love that theyve got options for those of us who don't want a creamy drink (espresso tonic is great). Only knock is I wish their savory dishes were less sweet. Got two cream cheese savory items and both were just a bit too sweet - would have loved for them to focus more onto he salty/savory garlic flavors instead."
