Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread
4600 Beach Blvd D, Artesia, CA
Crema's Take
“Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread is an espresso-focused spot that takes their craft seriously, whether you're ordering a signature creative drink like their banana latte or settling in with a pour over—though consistency seems to be a work in progress based on recent feedback. Beyond the coffee, they've carved out a distinctive identity with inventive pastries and breads like creative scones, cookies with unexpected flavors, and a notably indulgent chubby cheesecake that keeps locals coming back. The vibe leans toward a peaceful, laptop-friendly workspace where you can sink in for a slow sit, and the Artesia location apparently has the most extensive selection of merch and baked goods across their other branches.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Delicious coffee. At 1st I was skeptical about this place due to its location, however, I took a change on it and I did not regret it. It was a great coffee. I got the bannana latte iced 16oz. It was great! I'll definitely be back
Stopped here after a dental appointment right next door. Seemed to be buzzing with silence despite numerous people working with laptops and headphones on. I was in a state of disappointment from the previous night's cheesecake offering at a different restaurant. I find myself…
My fave spot! It has the most bread, merch and goodies out of all the other locations. Love the vibe and service. Didn't even know this place was here and it seems to be an OG based on the history of the area and the way the building looks. Tasty matcha and amazing coffee! Wish…
