Crema's Take

Nostimo is a cozy Garden Grove gem that's earned serious love for its showstopping Japanese soufflé pancakes and creatively crafted drinks that blend cultures—think Ube Coconut Lattes and silky matcha that'll make you linger. The bright, modern space strikes that perfect balance between energizing enough for work and calm enough to just breathe, with easy parking and a genuinely warm staff that makes you feel like you've found your spot.

OK this place totally surprised us 🤍 Everything was INSANELY delicious. We ordered two Japanese soufflé fluffy pancakes: Nutella and Tiramisu and I’m still dreaming about them. I don’t even like coffee, but the tiramisu comes with a tiny separate coffee drink in the cutest glass, and somehow I loved it. Every bite was unreal: super soft, airy, creamy, with warm caramelized banana and a little crunch. Literally melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Yes, they take about 15 minutes because everything is made fresh, but TRUST ME it’s worth the wait. While waiting, we tried drinks and wow… the pistachio matcha latte is a must. Real Japanese-quality matcha (you can taste the difference!) and the pistachio foam on top is chef’s kiss 💚 We also tried the Trà Đào Cam Sả (black tea with orange, lemongrass, peach) - so refreshing - and the avocado smoothie was a whole masterpiece. Creamy, sweet, and you can actually taste the real avocado. My husband usually doesn’t like tea houses at all, but even he was obsessed and super happy. Highly recommend this spot if you love cute desserts + aesthetic drinks . Staff is incredibly kind, patient, and friendly too. they are patient and happy to answer questions. I really recommend this place!:) 10/10 would come back 💕

Nostimo is a small cafe offering souffle cakes and popular drinks like matcha. We ended up buying the ube & strawberry souffle. Though it took a bit for them to make it, its justified by how good it was. We loved the souffles. We also ordered the strawberry ceremonial graded matcha and tiramisu coffee. They were a solid 10/10, we would come back sometime! We went when it was dark outside (unsure the time) but parking was kind of difficult due to other establishments next to the cafe. The atmosphere of the cafe was beautiful. It was crowding around the time we came so there may not be seating available. (Just come earlier) pricing was cheap! To elaborate, we saw that the mango sticky rice was 6.5 USD when other places it was around 13.5 USD! Most drinks were 6.5 USD, so its relatively cheap. We recommend this place for all.

Solid spot for unique coffees! I tried the Ube Coconut Latte Coffee, and it was fantastic – a perfect blend of bold Vietnamese coffee with rich ube flavor and high-quality coconut that tied it all together beautifully. Smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. We were excited to try one of their famous soufflé cakes/pancakes, but were told it would take about 20 minutes, so we ended up canceling the order. The drinks are definitely the highlight here, but the wait times for desserts brought it down a bit for us. Still worth a visit if you're craving creative coffee drinks!

Wonderful cozy, modern, relax, chill, bright vibe place. The drinks here delish and well make. Parking is easy and menu are good amount with mix of drinks (hot/cold) and snacks, especially with Soufflé. Great & friendly service. They do inform you how long it will take for the soufflé so that was nice (20mins but they got it within 18mins). This place is packed with kids/teenagers that are here to do their homework’s or works. They are well manners and respect of noise levels. The foods is okey, our was jittery (you got to try it to make sure it legit). Well batter but abit undercooked from my taste. We ordered Gongju Chestnut Soufflé and it comes with Choco ice cream scoop. Not too sweet…it’s good overall. They do have both inside and outside sitting area. Not bad at all, I enjoyed more than I thought.

This cozy cafe won my heart with its friendly staff and a calm vibe that feels like a warm hug. The matcha is smooth and dreamy, the coffee strong yet comforting. But the real star is the big pancake, fluffy and delicious enough to make you forget all problems. Plenty of parking nearby too. Honestly I could stay here all day.
