Dex Coffee
18065 Magnolia St, Garden Grove, CA
Crema's Take
“Dex Coffee is a warm, thoughtfully designed neighborhood spot where skilled baristas craft unusually creative drinks that go beyond the typical coffee shop menu—their signature matcha creations (like the butterscotch matcha and orange hojicha) are genuinely crave-worthy, and their espresso is bold and perfectly balanced. The real magic happens in the details: cozy wood-toned interiors, seasonal touches like Christmas cards and socks for regulars, and genuinely joyful staff who make you feel like they actually want to be there, making it as much a place to linger and meet friends as it is to grab an excellent drink.”

Such a cute little coffee shop. The interior has a really cozy, stylish vibe with warm wood tones and a clean, modern setup. You can tell they put thought into the details, from the pastry display to the drink presentation. The coffee flavors were unique and really flavorful. I got the hazelnut latte and it was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. The matcha was also really good, fresh-tasting and well made. Service was great too. Friendly, quick, and welcoming. The only downside is that it’s a bit small inside, so seating can be limited, but that also adds to the cozy feel. Overall a great spot for quality drinks and a relaxed coffee run.
1. The coffee drinks were both well-crafted! I really like the orange hojicha drink! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior was nicely arranged! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! The drinks were ready in less than 10 mins! Note: There is a single restroom available for customers!

Delicious drinks (the orange cream top matcha tasted like an orange creamsicle!) and great service. We came on Christmas Eve and they gave us a Christmas card and socks — so sweet! Def coming back to try their other signature drinks.
Went on Christmas Day, somehow the baristas where happy to be there. If I could rate 6/5 stars I would Coffee : Well priced very smooth strong espresso (barista was right it's bold) I got the Dex latte and it was 5/5 My dad got a decaf latte with oat milk and noted it had more flavor than a normal decaf and he was surprised. Environment was super nice and clean, plenty of seating, couch is very comfy. Shop is unique and uses soft lights Yes we got free socks on Christmas
New favorite place unlocked 🔓 Nice atmosphere, great service. You cannot just get one drink here. I’m a big matcha lover and they have so many matcha flavors. Tried the butterscotch matcha—SO smooth, and the matcha pairs perfectly. Already had coffee this morning, but that’s my next to-go order when I come back. Walking out with a hojicha though 😌🍵
