Caffe Bene Brand is number one coffee chain in S. Korea. They are operating more than 900 branches in S.Korea now and theyve been expanding their branches all of the world. Current Caffe Bene Franchiser is Kim, SunKwon who used to operate Pork Back-Bone Stew (Gamja-Tang) named ChuPoongRyung. He earned a lot of money by operating ChuPoongRyung and then after he transfered his business mindset to Caffe Bene. 1st Caffe Bene was opened in Year 2008. Caffe Bene means good feeling coffee. Around One year ago, it was opened in LA beside of CGV Theater but customers needed to use Vallet Parking, so it was uncomfortable. However, Caffe Bene in Buena Park has big parking lot, so it is easy to park beside of the Caffe Bene building. Inside is bright, spacious with comfortable seats. Especially, they decorate outside and ceiling by woods Small size iced americano is $2.20, Cafe Latte is $2.85 and Cafe mocha is $3.25 I drank Peach Mojito at this time but cost ($5.50) was a little bit higher than my expectation but it was good for refreshment. Here is good place to talk with friends with drinking coffee because here is spacious and comfortable

This is a pretty good coffee place. Ive been five or six times now. They have a slightly less than conventional coffee menu (but not that unusual for a Korean coffee shop), and they make competent, if not amazing, espresso drinks. The ambiance is pretty pleasant - high ceilings, warmly decorated. Because the space is so large there are a lot of places to sit. They do have free wifi, and there are the usual mass of people studying or working as you might expect to find at any coffee shop nowadays, but there is also a healthy buzz of conversation at all times and from all corners of the place. I really hate when a cafe feels more like a library than a social center, and that is not a problem here at all. The counter staff and baristas are friendly and fairly efficient. I have not tried any of their food, but it looks pretty good. Ill update my review if and when I have something to say about that!

Solid coffee shop to get work done at or have a meeting with someone. The times Ive been here (near-full workday on one occasion) it was not noisy as one reviewer wrote. The wifi is password protected - to get access, you need to look at the password on your receipt. This is a European international coffee chain that also sells Gelato and waffles. Ive never had bad service here. The business may be European, but this is a Korean part of town - check out the nearby supermarkets and shops for some sweet Korean products. H Mart is a fun experience. This area is great and very enjoyable to this white American! The coffee here is pretty good. Gives you a nice caffeine jolt. Sprinkle of cinnamon is a nice touch to add to it. Four stars solely because this coffee shop doesnt open until 9am. Im not sure how they do it in Europe, but what kind of coffee shop doesnt open early?!

I am giving this place a 4 star because it is really well made if you need to study. There are many many chairs, tables, outlets everywhere which is perfect for studying by yourself or with small-large groups. It is a bit loud in here, its very spacious with open seating. (Bring your headphones if you need to concentrate!) The coffee and food is... nothing amazing to me. Just your typical coffee shop. I had the Clam Chowder bowl with salad, which was good, but it was SO HARD to eat. I recommend getting something else if you are trying to "eat and study" because I had to give up a lot of my studying time to just eat the bread bowl because it is messy and you have to rip the bread with your hands. There is quite a lot of parking outside but it is a busy plaza so you might have to park far. Be sure to read all the signs, some places are reserved for other businesses.

Its a great place to study or work, alone or in a small group. Mornings are the best time, and by mid-afternoon the place gets noisy, if you dont mind having to put on headphones to drone out the noise. I have also seen a few tutor sessions happening. The atmosphere is cozy, homey, and warm (although the a/c is usually turned on a bit too much for me), aka great for studying, reading, or working. Its also a great place to meet up with someone and chat away. They have a lot of food options, but all the menu items are overpriced (thus 4 stars and not 5). I do wish they had more single-serving dessert options, but a blended beverage is usually good enough as an alternative.

Nice coffee/cafe place they have a great selection of items to choose from. A nice open place to hang and meet people up . They do have plenty of space but while there , noticed majority of the tables were occupied by people studying . Plenty of people where using seats for their personal items . So less space for people to sit was a bit of a problem . Other than that if you come on a non study hour, Im sure this place is great place tohang out and chat with friends over a cup of coffee or dessert that they offer.

Not a regular review writer, but I really do like everything about this place. If youre looking for a casual spot to do some work or relax, use secure wifi, have some top notch barista drinks and eats, this cafe is a solid one. The longer I sit here the more thumbs-up details I notice in the service, ambiance, and philosophy - if you will - of this place.

Except for the slow internet, I always enjoy the atmosphere here. It gives me the feeling of being in Korea. Every customer here seems to be Korean. Service people are awesome. Good variety of drinks and food. People comes from far away for the big ice cream bowls. Specialties are attractive.

Great place to have a tasty coffee and various other drinks. The Saigon is the same as a Vietnamese Coffee. The Saigon was not as strong though. Had the Misugaru ( made out of seven grains) which i liked. Ate their crepe cake which was rather tasty.

Great location, great seating for studying, but one drawback is their coffee. Quite ironic since it is a coffee shop, but their coffee is really mediocre and too light/watery. I go here only if I have to study and need spacious tables.

Coffee is good. Service is good. The inside is very nice and big. I would recommend a group. Great place to study and sip bean juice.

Dang. This is one of the most hipster-looking coffee shops Ive been to. Interior is pretty cozy. Nice hangout place.

Good place to caffeinate yourself and friends. Like their big wall-side table with power outlets.

Great place to study or meet people. Plenty of space during the weekdays, which is when I went.

The place looked great but it was a little loud and the drinks were too sweet
