    This is the strawberry white chocolate latte. I believe the manager made this. It's best to ask for a Mug for the cute coffee insta pics.

    Great coffee, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. This is the strawberry white chocolate latte. I believe the manager made this. The Spanish latte taste great as well. It's best to ask for a Mug for the cute coffee insta pics.

    Cute sitting area out front
    Devin B.

    I have been meaning to try this place for a while, so I made a point to go today! Parking is a big shared lot, so there is no trouble finding somewhere to park. Upon walking inside, it was quiet and there were just a couple other tables occupied. Ordering is primarily on a kiosk, and I only saw one employee working. I chose an iced Madagascar vanilla latte, decaf, and an almond croissant. One thing did strike me as odd; there is a 25cent upcharge for decaf. I have never been charged extra for decaf anywhere else. I try not to judge too hard on things like this, but because it is not typical, It takes a little off my experience when I have to pay extra to have my coffee the only way I can handle it without getting sick or super shaky. Beyond that, pricing and upgrades seemed pretty standard. After waiting a few minutes, the employee behind the counter brought my order to me where I was sitting! I was expecting to have it called out at the counter, but the personalized service was a nice touch. This was my only staff interaction, but it was nice although not expected. The coffee was good; tastes like a typical vanilla latte. Maybe their regular caffeinated coffee is more robust, but the decaf was fine and didn't have a distinctive "decaf" flavor. The croissant was slightly warmed up and tasted ok. It was a little chewing than I am used to, but the flavor was good. There is a little bit of almond paste in the middle. There is such a large variety of coffee shops to pick from, it can be hard to decide where to go next! This place was quiet, my coffee was fine, and the croissant was just ok. For the upcharge on decaf...I would like to return to try other drinks, but I'm probably going to avoid the coffee because of it.

    I'm in love with this spot! All of their ingredients are so high quality! Their matcha was incredible, the staff is very kind and I love how they offer both indoor and outdoor seating! Check out my instagram @morganxmatcha for the full review!!

    Macha Latte has plenty of fresh and deep flavor. And the atmosphere is so great to enjoy relaxing vibe here.

    Peanut Butter Smoothie, chai latte
    Josh H.

    I ordered the peanut butter smoothie, chai latte with vanilla, blueberry muffin, international grilled cheese, and an avocado toast. The Peanut Butter smoothie was very good, it had a good consistency and flavor was great. If you don't like overly powered peanut butter then this would be perfect, but myself I wish there was an option on the menu for an extra scoop of peanut butter. I'm sure they'll do it if you ask, the staff was very friendly! The chai latte was great as well, I customized mine with multiple things so it will most likely taste different than most but im sure regardless it will be good. The international grilled cheese was very good, I personally don't like a ton of bread, and the bread on this was light, crunchy, and tasty. I would definitely recommend to order this. The Avocado toast was okay, there was a good amount of avocado which was the best part about it. I wish they put lemon pepper seasoning on it for more flavor. Also the bread is pretty basic, I wish it was more toasted. Overall it's not bad, but does not stand out compared to other cafes. The blueberry muffin was good, pretty comparable to most cafes, I would recommend to order if you're craving it, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The ambiance is nice and clean, good music, plenty of seating for studying. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend to stop by here for your next study session.

    Cute cafe with good food and drinks! I got the croissant with ham and added spinach and it was a delicious breakfast. My boyfriend also really enjoys their cold brew.

    This place fills your cup with ice and pours maybe 2 oz of actual beverage. They sell Costco croissants for $10. They don't use gloves, so the hands that wash and take out trash are the same hands that touch your food.

    ceremonial matcha latte
    Jenny C.

    I ordered the ceremonial matcha latte on the kiosk and it took quite a while to come out. There were few people studying here so it's definitely more of a study spot than socializing spot. The matcha latte tasted more milky and I couldn't really taste the matcha. Maybe I'd try their other drinks next time. Ambiance was very quiet and spacious.

    This is such a cute coffee shop! It feels very comfortable and every one there was super friendly. I got the golden milk tea. It's prepaid so I could adjust the sugar levels. In general, I don't like sugary drinks so this was too sweet for me but I did think the tea itself tasted really good. I also got a chocolate scone. They warmed it up for me and it was delicious. It was the perfect ratio of chocolate chips to scone. This is a great place to stop by and grab a cup to go or sit and work for a bit. They had plugs and wifi and you could easily find a nice area to sit in to work.

    breakfast burrito
    Tricia N.

    Came here before going to the office for a little pick-me-up on a rainy day. It's a cute and cozy cafe in Fullerton with a variety of coffees, teas, and sandwiches in their menu. Ordered a breakfast burrito and Kyoto Cold Brew with oat milk. Kyoto cold brew (I chose the Intentional Blend I believe) was pretty decent, it's very smooth and goes well with the oat milk, no sweetener needed imo. As for the burrito, I really wanted to modify it with no onions and peppers but the mix of the burrito is premade apparently. I decided not to be a big baby and ordered it and it was really delicious and tasty especially with the salsa. It was definitely the pick-me-up I needed this morning. As for the service, the man in the front (may be the owner but I am not sure) was very friendly and made sure that all orders of customers were taken care of and came out timely. I was in and out within about 8-10 mins which isn't bad for someone who ordered a big breakfast burrito haha. Will definitely be back here to try other things from their menu!

    Absolutely loved my visit. I ordered the Masala chai tea and it was incredibly flavorful.. the perfect balance of spice + sweetness, easily one of the better chai teas I've had in the area. Thoughtful little details that stood out, were the matcha tea whisks displayed on the shelf, a small touch, but it added a lot to the overall aesthetic and made it feel like they really care about quality and presentation. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a great spot for a quick pick me up!! Will be coming back!

    It's a specialty coffee shop with the intention of serving exceptional coffee, tea, pastries, brunch, and desserts. They aim to be intentional with more than just coffee, but also with their service, conversation, and community. The staff is friendly and they do love conversations. Very fast with service, and they definitely get a sporadic burst of customers. Plenty of seating here, but what I love is that the conversations are louder, (but not too loud) than the music, it really shows the community here. I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the Madagascar Vanilla syrup is made in house, no artificial flavors here. The coffee is so smooth, and flavorful, I loved it and also the foam artwork! I love this place, I would definitely come back.

    breakfast burrito, strawberry smoothie, and strawberry matcha

    Ok wait this place is one of my regulars to study and get coffee bc it's actually really good and the staff are so friendly. I would gatekeep but that's messed up.

    I found my new favorite ice cream spot!!…read more As a self-proclaimed ice cream enthusiast, I frequent ice cream spots at least 1-2 times a week (probably more than I should). I happened to come across this place on a Friday night right before a bar-hopping night with some friends. I just ate so ice cream sounded good. I walked in and it's a pretty small spot with only 2-3 small tables and 1 guy working. The menu looked pretty interesting, and immediately sampled 3 of the flavors that intrigued me the most: mango sticky rice, banana cream pie, and matcha strawberry. The worker was really nice and helped me out quickly. I asked him what the difference was between the small and the large, I thought it was just size of the scoop or bowl, but he said that small comes with 2 scoops, large is 3 scoops, and you can get a combination of flavors. That was perfect because all 3 flavors were some of my favorites I've ever had. I'm not usually one to hype up a food spot without good cause, but the price point for each size was really good compared to other ice cream spots that charge $1-2 more for the same thing. Not only that, these flavors were some of the best I've had. I'm excited to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend this spot for any ice cream lovers, and I think I'm probably going to come back every weekend as part of my weekly routine haha.

They have a great variety of flavors, and you can even get a sample to taste before buying. Their ube is delicious and their mango sticky rice one has such an incredible taste that replicates the dessert so well. I ended up getting their cookie butter flavor since I am a big fan of biscoff and it was so creamy and delicious. You get small chunks of the biscoff cookie as well, which is great. For the price itself, you get a good amount of ice cream too! The shop itself is pretty small with only a table or two for seating and parking is slightly difficult when it gets crowded. But the service was great and they play great music as well. Try out their ice cream!

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

I do want to try their pastries, but was disappointed with the few items I got sadly.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!
