I visited their newer location today and am so excited to have an ape coffee closer to me. My fav is always the incredible ape matcha latte. This location is definitely smaller and doesn't have any seating inside or bathroom. Very sweet staff members! It's great for a quick grab and go coffee/drink. read more

I come probably once a week and what keeps me coming back is their monkey business latte and incredible ape matcha. Both are not too sweet and I love the banana flavor in both drinks. If you're looking to get your drink fast, I'd recommend this location because the orange location gets pretty busy, but it only has outdoor seating, so if you're looking to study, do work, or hang out I would recommend the one in orange. read more

If you haven't tried the monkey business latte you are missing out. The banana cream is not syrup-y but tastes like actual bananas and it mixes perfectly with the honey latte. The cinnamon isn't too strong and the drink is not too sweet. Both of their locations are delicious. read more

The drinks were very good but it look a long time to make since there was only 1-2 workers in the store. The store is small with no indoor seating but a few tables outside. Also, they warm the pastries up for you. I ordered my coffee with light ice and only a single shot instead of a double and it was perfect for me since I don't like super strong coffee. I would recommend this coffee shop! read more

I've been dreaming about this monkey business latte and banana brûlée matcha since I've had it!! I saw this business pop up on my FYP on IG but it was for the orange location. With a little research I found they had one about 5 minutes away from my house! The matcha was flavorful without being super grassy and overpowering the drink. It was smooth and perfectly sweetened. Topped with the banana creme, and the brûléed sugar, and that fresh banana slice, the drink had depth, flavor, freshness and comfort. The monkey business latte was the same concept except delicious espresso, a bit of cinnamon, honey and a banana chip. DELICIOUS! I loved these drinks because they weren't overly milky, and not overly sweet either. The customer service was also great, the guys helping me greeted me with a smile, and were very helpful with their suggestions. It's a small but cute place and there's ample seating outside. I'm waiting on the day I have time to go back! read more

All across EXCELLENT! From the pastries, sandwiches, and drinks. This place is worth going ape for. Came in for a mom-date with my bestie and we both ordered the tuna crunch. It was a bigger size than I expected which is a great thing because I saved the second half for dinner. I'm hooked on the banana cream matcha and will keep coming back. Service is A+ and there is plenty of small areas to sit outside while you enjoy your drink! This place is a vibe! read more

Great coffee! I service is great! Ambiance is great! This has become my go to coffee shop! Highly recommend! read more

Came here on their soft opening and looking forward to see what it looks like when they're done. Inside was on the smaller side and I am curious how they're going to utilize the space. There are seats set up for the patio area and it's nice that there is a lot of shade in the shopping center. The coffee was good and I really like their logo. I hope they start selling shirts read more

One of my favorite coffee shops right now! They really know how to balance the level of sweetness in their drinks, and still can taste the coffee. I have tried a few of their items but I always seem to go back to their matcha latte. It's so good! read more

I did not like the banana coffee. It was horrible, and I don't use that word often. I took maybe 3 sips and ended up throwing it away. Service was also non-existent. read more

I finally stopped by Ape Coffee and tried their Monkey Business Latte: honey, banana cream top, and a banana chip garnish. It was such a fun, creative drink! The banana cream topping was so addicting, I can see why it's one of their signature touches. Their drinks definitely lean on the sweeter side, so I asked for mine to be made less sweet. Even then, it was still pretty sweet for my taste, but I just treated it like a dessert, and honestly, I really enjoyed it! There's no indoor seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. They also sell some coffee merch and have a few sandwiches available, but I wouldn't recommend coming here for a full meal. That said, if you're looking for a unique drink to take on the go, this is the spot. There a couple seats outside though! I'll definitely be back to try more of their creative lattes! read more

Delicious coffee with many options. Fast and friendly service. Slightly disappointed that they only offer outside seating but this place is a great grab and go option. read more

Ape Coffee - Order the Snow Monkey! Recommend so delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

The monkey business is the business. The perfect combination of banana and coffee. I really enjoyed it. I also tried their hibiscus refresher and it was good because it wasn't overly sweet. The cashiers were also really helpful in helping decide what drinks to get with their insight on the drinks. I will definitely be back. read more

It didn't blow my socks off, but it was still a good coffee. My girlfriend really liked the matcha with banana chips. I might come back to try a different drink on the menu. read more

**FOOD & DRINK (Allergic to Milk)** 1. "SNOW MONKEY (ICED ONLY): A brown sugar latte topped w/ signature sweet cream, brown sugar, & cinnamon powder." DISCLAIMER: I understand that changing the recipe to accommodate for my allergies will change the intended flavor of the drink and so I genuinely do not intend on being mean to the nice workers there. Because the sweet cream topping is made using heavy cream & can't be substituted, I had to order without it from the SNOW MONKEY. Upon taking my first few sips, I was disappointed; The drink didn't taste of brown sugar or cinnamon, and barely of coffee. It mostly tasted like really watered-down, iced oat milk. I figured maybe more of the drink would become stronger as I got to the bottom but it never did. I'm willing to give it another try in the future because of the good service & communication with the baristas but I don't think this drink was worth the $6.73. **SERVICE** The barista wearing the black USC hoodie at the register was actually very kind! I asked him if I could have anything on the signature menu and he informed me that there wasn't anything to accommodate for my dairy allergies on it. I told him I'd need a moment to see if there was something other than the signature drinks and he let me know they have milk alternatives like oat milk. When I found the SNOW MONKEY drink, he made sure to write in the notes for me, "Allergic to dairy!!". It was unfortunate that there were only two baristas that day because a line queued up shortly after I ordered (08:45 AM) and couples wanted their pre-ordered bouquets of flowers. **AMBIANCE** It's just small and it was rainy the week I rolled through, so I'm assuming seating wasn't organized as it normally is. Just like in the FOOD & DRINK section, I'm willing to give another try on a different, sunnier morning. read more

Ape Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

This place has decent drinks. Sadly, they have unfriendly, horrible and irritated staff with a permanent RBF. No smiles. No greetings. Tried them TWICE thinking the first bad experience was a one-off. Nope. I cannot support a small business and pay $10/drinks (with tip) for this kind of treatment. Perhaps, a fresh paint color might help boost mood and culture. Because all black walls for a shoebox = cave. read more

The banana matcha is the most delicious matcha I've ever had. I'm addicted now. I get it with almond milk so it's not as rich. But some people might like it rich and creamy - and that it is! Also the avocado toast... perfect. read more

My first visit to this new location. Love Ape Coffee in Orange, and was excited to see them open a second location. This location is very small and the pastry selection is much more limited but I get it they are new and testing the waters here. Coffee the Snow Monkey my go to was on point, the carrot cake was stale but the staff was accommodating and took care of me. Anyhow, I wish them success and hope this location expands and thrives. read more

Located in a small shopping center with plenty of parking, so running in and out to grab your coffee is super easy! There is outside seating, a few two person tables. Inside is small so you'll just want to order and head out. The staff is super friendly and greets you as soon as you walk in. They had a few pastry items on display that look great and a small menu if you want to grab a bite. The drinks were good, but cant say anything amazing that other coffee shops don't provide. read more

I was in the Placentia area and decided to give this Ape location a try. It's definitely a much smaller spot, but they were quick! I ordered the Incredible Ape Matcha from the kiosk, and the drink came out fast. It was good and had a solid flavor but I have to say, the Orange location still hits the spot for me every time. There are a few tables outside if you want to sit, and the workers were friendly and welcoming. It was cool to check out this other location, but I'll probably stick to my usual go-to in Orange(: read more

Came in after a shopping day desperate for coffee. I've never been there before but the two girls working were incredibly helpful. They were telling me their recommendations and showing me their new winter menu. I was debating between the tiramisu latte or the cookie butter latte. one girl said that the tiramisu was better. good thing i listened! this coffee was SO good. not too sweet! perfect amount of creaminess and the coffee flavor was divine. not bitter or burnt tasting at all. i will definitely be back! i think i found my new coffee place. read more

Ape Coffee - decor - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

ape is pretty solid but is a different kind of matcha from what i'm used to... it's hard to describe but their matcha is really refreshing? i can't tell if i like it or not lol i got their banana matcha latte and the banana cream was yummy, pretty solid but i will say they put way too much honey at the top so when i mixed it the drink was too sweet and tasted too much like honey for me i also had their tuna melt because they do a little lunch deal where you can get a sandwich (tuna melt or egg salad) and drink which was nice! as a student, its a really good deal so i'd come back for that :) the sandwich itself, was just okay but i still enjoyed it -- i personally preferred the egg salad over the tuna melt study wise, they don't have any seats inside because the shop itself is small but they do offer seating outside so i would only study here on a day with nice weather read more

The staff was friendly and very approachable. Their Monkey Business Latte was tasty with the banana cream.

I tried 3 of their drink drinks here and they were all delicious - Cloud Ape, Snow Monkey and Money Business. The banana cream top is super yummy with the matcha and latte. I highly recc trying that first since it's more unique. The storefront is small with a few tables outside. Inside vibe is dark with a giant logo for taking pictures. read more

Finally came around to checking this place out and I'm so glad I did... I ran into the barista, Carmen, outside and she right away gave off friendly and chill vibes. When I finally went in, it took me a while to decide what I wanted to try. I have my favorites but I'm also a fan of trying new things. Not being able to decide (despite Carmen's helpful input), I tried both the Monkey Business and the Snow Monkey specialty coffees. Neither drink disappointed and still not entirely sure which I liked better! Probably the Snow Monkey, but still a tough decision to make. Although the shop is a little small, they make up for it with an inviting atmosphere. Definitely recommending this place to my coffee-lover friends! read more

Delicious drink. The staff were kind and energetic. Outdoor seating only. Monkey business drink was tasty. The Madeline looked so delicious, but when I asked, I was told it was nearly $6. So I didn't go for it. I'd try the drinks again to go but probably wouldn't want to stay. Just my preference. The area and space are clean. read more

Very good banana matcha! Must try! Always a good experience there. Never disappoints:)

Stopped by earlier today to check out the new ape location. I ordered the monkey business latte with oat milk and also the yogurt lemon blueberry loaf. I loved that the loaf wasn't too sweet. The mb latte was also delish - I also love the name of the drink because it reminds me of my 20's when I was forced to entertain a lot of monkey business that was a total waste of my time and energy. Thank God for your 30's - you're a lot wiser and you pick and choose your battles and businesses way more selectively. Ain't nobody got time for shenanigans :) read more

I'm so glad to see Ape coffee open a second location closer to me! While their first location is in Orange, I never went to try. They are still in soft opening and offering 10% off. We ordered the monkey business latte, matcha monkey business, and black sesame almond croissant. There aren't any tables inside but a good amount of seating outside. The drinks were solid! I don't even like banana, but I enjoyed the banana cream foam that complemented the matcha well. The black sesame almond croissant was warmed up and delicious as well. Overall, friendly service and good variety of menu items! read more

Ape Coffee - Monkey Business - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

We ordered the Monkey Business (oatmilk sub), and it was one of the best cream tops I've ever had! The authentic banana flavor with a dash of cinnamon was buttah. I don't like sweet drinks, and I felt mine was perfectly balanced. Most importantly, it gave me the jolt I needed to make it through a long night. The cafe is tiny with zero indoor seating, but there are bistro tables outside. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, and I felt $6.50 for a fantastic coffee was reasonable. read more
