Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Garden Grove, this charming neighborhood spot feels like stepping into a friend's cozy living room, complete with board games and those delightful signature rubber ducks that arrive with every order. Their matcha drinks are genuinely creative and delicious—the banana matcha is a standout—and the whole experience strikes that perfect balance of being laid-back and welcoming without pretension, making it ideal for a leisurely brunch, remote work session, or casual hangout with family and friends.”

such a cute place and tasty matcha! loved stopping by for brunch and the staff was extremely accommodating. delicious recommendations & perfect atmosphere.
Yellow Goose in Garden Grove is such a hidden gem. I stopped in while waiting for my car to be serviced down the street and I’m honestly so glad I did. The banana matcha was absolutely delicious, are you kidding?! Perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and super smooth. And the presentation?! SO cute. They put a little duck on top of my drink and it genuinely made my day. I also ordered a croissant sandwich and it was spot on in flavor. Flaky, fresh, and perfectly put together. You can tell they care about quality. Even though this spot is a little out of the way for me, I would 100% come back just for the drinks and food. The vibe is adorable, cozy, and welcoming.🤍🦆
It feels like stopping by a friend’s house—nothing fancy or over-the-top, just chill and comfy. The sound system could use an upgrade, but honestly, it’s still a great neighborhood snack spot for kids. The flavors are around Lolicup level—not high-end boba, more like a funny, pocket-friendly hangout. Super cheap, too! I came during the buy-one-get-one deal and got two drinks for under $7.
The drinks were so good! They even give you cute mini ducks with your order. The indoor area was really chill and clean. There's plenty of seating, and they have board games to play with friends. 10/10, I'm definitely coming back! Drinks pictured: Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Strawberry Frost, & Sea Cream Jasmine Milk Tea
3/5 because “No Cute Rubber Ducks”. My previous experiences here have been great and I love the rubber ducks as they are always a highlight upon getting my order. Staff have been great. However, this time around, my party and I did not receive the rubber ducks that usually come with the drinks. While I would usually give this place a 5 star, I give it 3 stars because we did not receive the ducks with our drinks and we came out of way specifically to this cafe for the rubber ducks. Not sure why we weren’t given the ducks, perhaps they ran out? Or don’t do it anymore? I’ll have to conclude that on my own. Staff is still great.
