    avocado mango smoothie, mango matcha, cranberry chicken salad, acai bowl
    Anchal B.

    This was a nice, simple cafe. I met up with a friend here and we got a a cranberry chicken salad, acai bowl, and some drinks. One was an avocado mango smoothie, another was a mango matcha. It was definitely pleasant! I wouldn't mind coming back, they had a great menu selection.

    The Biscoff , Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Biscoff was really good and matcha also good Nice clean little coffee shop parking is not great had to pay $10 but first 10 min are free and believe they will validate

    Was excited to come here after seeing the promo on instagram for free coffee for nurses. The one included was the Biscoff coffee, flavor was pretty good, kinda on the basic side. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Service was pretty quick considering they had the promo going on. Ambiance is nice and spacious, but seating can be limited. Parking is pretty limited as well

    I have not been in the area or at this coffee shop. I had to visit someone in a facility nearby but first coffee. Had to quickly find something and this shop came up. Parking van me limiting. I did the 10mins in front but I didn't see much around unless you pay. Walked in and it was pretty big shop with such cute soft seatings along the windows of the shop. Then there's a long communal table with additional tables and chairs in the back. Took me a minute to review the menu and decide. No rush at all and the cashier was a nice young lady who recommended and made my order. The drink was good and I also ordered a hot tea to go and enjoyed that for later. Overall, a good quick visit with good flavored lattes and tea plus food ( if you want to order) when you're here.

    Cold Brew

    I arrived around 6:58 a.m. along with another customer. A male employee allowed us inside, but shortly after, a female employee stated they were not open yet, even though we were already inside waiting. From the start, the female employee had a poor attitude and was rude and unwelcoming to both the other customer and myself. She wasn't the rudest person on earth, but her demeanor was not suitable for customer service. I was polite and respectful the entire time. When I asked questions about the menu and explained that I usually order iced espresso, black iced coffee, or cold brew and wanted to try a flavored drink made less sweet, she cut me off and said no without offering alternatives. Because of this, I ordered a plain cold brew. Toward the end of my visit, it seemed like she tried to lighten up a bit, but overall her attitude needs improvement. The male employee, however, provided great customer service. He was friendly, welcoming, and communicated clearly, including letting me know that the oven was still warming up, so my bagel would take longer to make. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The breakfast bagel was mediocre, included boiled eggs not shown online, and I paid extra for turkey only to receive about half a slice. I waited roughly 17 minutes for an $8 bagel that wasn't worth it. Overall, one employee was great while the other needs serious improvement. The shop opens at 7:00 a.m., yet the staff seemed unprepared. Parking is available but limited due to nearby medical offices. Nothing stood out as special, and based on this experience, I would not return.

    It's been a while, so here's an update on Coffee Up Roastery. The café is usually staffed by two baristas, and during peak hours the wait can be up to 10 minutes. That said, the coffee is delicious and well-balanced, not overly bitter. The ambience is warm and welcoming, with a cozy corner dedicated to merchandise. They now offer free 30 minute parking (validation code) and new menu item now includes Banana Crème coffee.

    The place is clean & bright Very comfortable, love their Avocado toast But the coffee was like dark color water

    Cute shop, I found it comfortable and relaxing. UNFORTUNATELY , the location is inconvenient for parking reasons. I had to circle around the parking areas twice and I ended up parking in spot I hoped to not get towed. I tried the Biscoff Latte. While it was not bad, I didn't have much of a Biscoff taste. I'd order something else next time. Though my dog approves of it.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Gabriella A.

    Service was okay, the gentleman who took our order was kind. Inside is pretty big and spacious with comfortable seating. The strawberry matcha was delish, it had some strawberry chunks inside which personally for me made it much better like i love chewing all those pieces of strawberries. The sandwich was sooo good too with the side of salad and the dressing it had was perfect. The ONLY BAD THING IS PARKING!!!!! It's literally horrible, everything is reserved for other business around since it is near a hospital and medical offices or only 10 minute parking like bruh. I wouldn't come back just because of that honestly but it's a good spot to relax.

    Breakfast Sandwich Croissant with soft boiled egg and iced vanilla Latte with vanilla cream top
    Kim K.

    This sits in some sort of medical building, but I was just doing a quick stop and found 10 min parking right out front. I went in, and the place was very quiet, had cozy seats and looks like a nice place to work from a laptop. Even had a public printer. And some fancy looking roasting machine. When I saw they had homemade syrups I was really excited. Order an iced latte with almond milk and vanilla cream top. Delicious! Also a croissant sandwich with soft boiled egg. Soooo good. The woman at the counter was so kind and friendly. The outside was so unassuming but inside they have superb coffee, clearly freshly roasted, and I know it's gonna be good when they have syrups made in house. The fresh delicious warm lightly toasted croissant was a bonus. Will definitely add this to my list of must go whenever I drive by. The pic I took was an afterthought because I was not expecting to be so blown away that I was compelled to leave a review mid sandwich

    Came here after a hike this weekend. Ordered the iced biscotti latte and spicy chicken panini with a side of salad. My friend ordered the Hawaiian iced coffee paired with turkey sandwich. Sandwiches tasted good but nothing extra special, same goes with their specialty coffee. The place has a relax vibe and its clean. They have a self serve ordering system. Parking is very limited.

    An actual local gem. Seating: 10/10. Quiet, spacious, really clean! Food: 10/10. I ordered the monte cristo sandwich with kale salad. Each was individually SO good. Monte cristo had a hint of sweetness which was super yum and the kale salad- i wish i got more. The bagel- my boyfriend loved and demolished. Drink: 11/10. (Not pictured) Best strawberry banana smoothie I've tried in a while and the size was also v large. Amazing.

    Large coffee shop with plenty of tables and area to work. Friendly staff and great service. I ordered an Americano. It was great and served up quickly. I will be back soon.

Those tend to come out grainy, aggressively dark green, and honestly a little artificial-tasting to me. Little Ox is smoother and cleaner. You taste the tea, not a powder. The Genji matcha latte was my favorite. It's been sold out indefinitely, which I'm still a little sad about. These days I reach for the Okumidori matcha latte instead. My husband and my brother both usually order the brown sugar hojicha. Always with the salted cream top. We haven't found better versions of these anywhere else. It's also a great spot to work or study. Comfortable enough to settle in for a few hours. They carry nice merch too -- matcha sets, and recently Genji matcha tins if you want to make it at home.

When I walked in, there was no greeting at all. I only had a simple order, but two employees spent a lot of time chatting while making drinks, and it took much longer than expected. As usual, I ordered two Iced Vanilla Lattes and a strawberry milk for my child. The strawberry milk was served in a paper cup. When I tasted it, it wasn't cold, so I politely asked if it could be transferred to a clear to-go cup with ice. The staff said they couldn't provide a clear cup with ice because of store policy. Honestly, I was surprised by the response. It was such a simple request, and I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. A little flexibility and customer service would have gone a long way. I visit coffee shops almost every day, and if you look at my reviews, you'll see that I'm usually very generous and understanding when it comes to coffee shops. However, today's experience was by far one of the most disappointing I've had. I've enjoyed this place for a long time, which makes this visit even more unfortunate.

Price: overpriced for both drinks and sandwivhes. Although I don't mind paying extra for a satisfying drink, this one is not one of those. Ambiance: the walls, decor, plants and furnitures needs plenty of improvement. It looked like they were going for a minimalist look but it seems too bland and all over the place. I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free. By the way, I initially ordered the classic strawberry matcha for comparison to other matcha drinks I've had from other cafes and I came the 2nd time to try the matcha flight to give it a chance but I was underwhelmed on both times. On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.
