Chill Coffee

Even if Westminster’s Bolsa Avenue didn’t have the Asian Garden Mall, the neighborhood’s collection of largely Vietnamese and Chinese food and drink businesses would be locally unparalleled: Noteworthy dim sum parlor Seafood Cove 2 is right across the street in the Asian Village shopping center, which is also home to a half-dozen Vietnamese restaurants and a supermarket. Flagging Taiwanese boba chain Presotea maintained a ground floor location below Seafood Cove 2 for years, closing in 2025 and giving way to Chill Coffee in late August. Not to be confused with Garden Grove’s Chillà Coffee, which opened at roughly the same time, Chill offers Vietnamese phin coffees and Japanese matcha teas, milkless fruit teas, several milk teas, and smoothies, all priced from $5 to $7.

Although Chill and Chillà overlap somewhat in drink offerings, Chill doesn’t serve any food items, and its collection of drinks is both larger and bolstered substantially by toppings – coffee and matcha drinks can be topped with egg, salty, matcha, and ube creams, plus vanilla cold foam, banana, pandan, and bac xiu marble milks. Thai and green Thai teas, lychee, strawberry, kumquat, and tropical teas, with avocado and strawberry smoothies also available. One unique menu feature is a promise of “unlimited extra shot of coffee – no charge,” which we haven’t seen anywhere else in the area, and may make Chill a hit with those needing extra caffeine. Several types of boba, jellies, and pudding can also be added to drinks for $1 or less.
