I've been wanting to go to this place for a while, and the drinks/menu were very cool + the vintage tees were actually a really good deal. Turns out they're renovating right now, so the full decorated interior I was expecting was not there. But for a place called melted vinyl, I expected records to be playing LOL. But other than my expectations for the interior, the actual drinks themselves were great!
I love finding these locally owned coffee shops. Melted Vinyl has been on my list and today I got to try them out. The vibe in the shop was great. From the music, the wall decor, the sales rack of tshirts or the "graffiti" on the counter. The owner was great. Very passionate about coffee. They make all their syrups in house, so that was a huge selling point for me. I tried the Lavender Ghost, hot. Hint of floral, not overly sweet like a store bought syrup and it showcased the espresso. For me, it was the right combination. Loved it. I was sad to her the owner is turning over the reins to the father. I'm sure the vibe will change... but I hope the coffee stays top notch. Looking forward to trying the EMO latte next.
I have seen this spot pop up on social media from time to time and never got a chance to try it until this weekend. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary coffee shop with a cute reto-looking store logo. When you walk in, it's almost like you are transformed into a 2000's coming of age movie. I love their rad interior and bonus, they even have one of those vintage arcade machines that were free to play! The person working at the front was super helpful by providing us with recommendations. We ended up getting the lavender ghost and emo latte. I really appreciated how the team made sure to let us know the emo latte is more on the mocha than the sweet side. Fun fact: all syrups are made in house so you know everything is fresh! The lavender ghost was definitely very strong with the lavender flavor, but in a good way. The emo latte actually turned out to be my favorite. It was rich, the mocha mellowed out the sweetness, and I felt like it brought out a really deep coffee flavor. Overall, I was pretty happy customer. Parking is a bit tricky here because it's all street parking. The coffee shop is located at the corner of the street, so definitely utilize the the street right next to them. I came around 11am and there were plenty of spots.
Visited this coffee shop while in the area and needing to get some work done. Very small but cute location near downtown Brea. Loved the music/vinyl vibes. Ordered and iced vanilla latte with oat milk. The employee told me they make all their syrups in house (it was delicious) and she said to feel free to ask for more syrup if I felt I needed it, but my drink was great. got my work done + visited a great coffee shop. Definitely recommend trying this place
This is a very cute cafe. I loved the vintage shirts they sell and the free arcade game--it added a fun, nostalgic vibe. The decor was really cool, especially the wall of retro album covers, which gave the place a unique and cozy feel. The service was wonderful, the place was clean, and the drinks were refreshing and delicious. I'd definitely come back.
Decided to stop by here because I saw a cute chalkboard sign outside yesterday. Kids love the fact that it had free street fighter game and was across the street from a great donut shop. We ordered a "Burning Love" (rose Mexican mocha) iced, and a vanilla latte iced. Both drinks were great if you like more of a light roast coffee/espresso flavor. The house-made vanilla syrup was delicious. My personal preference would have been a stronger coffee flavor, but my husband liked the lighter flavor. I also expected there to be a bit more music because of the name, but music was super low, couldn't really hear it. Service was really friendly and nice. Would stop in again for a quick coffee, but place is too small to really hang out or meet a friend.
Came here for a quick coffee and had a great experience. I came on a Sunday morning and the barista was very friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering the Iced Rose Mexican Mocha from their seasonal spring drinks. There was lots to look at while I waited while they had a cool vinyl wall, clothes rack to look through, and an arcade game. My drink came out quick and tasted very delicious. The rose wasn't too overpowering and complimented the mocha taste well. Can't wait to try this place again!
what a stinkin coffee cute shop! a simple menu classic and vintage decor AND!!!! the classic street fighter ii arcade machine!! chun li and guile were my go to players! ahhhh the memories i was in btw ordering the lavender ghost and the emo latte but ended with the iced emo latte! loved the color of my drink. so fitting. it was really good too! service was great. the gal seemed like the only one working and everyone was patient with her the shop also seemed like a portion of it was under some sort of remediation? so it was taped off. parking: street. no issues!
My first time here I have been wanting to try this place for so long! I'm so glad I did Hannah is the one who took my order they are revamping the place so it was a bit under construction. But they still had cool things up on the walls and bottles with melted candles and vinyls posted on the walls. They were so friendly here I ordered the Lavender Ghost, it's strong and imported from France the Oat milk. Very delicious cup of coffee absolutely love it!! I will definitely be back to try more! I can't wait to come back when they fix everything up. I noticed a few of my yelp friends have come here before so happy I got to finally try it. I forgot to mention they have inside tables too if you want to sit and drink your coffee. Thank you so much for the friendly service Hannah and helping me choose my cup of coffee I really am enjoying it! Have a beautiful day :) Aloha
One of a kind coffee shop! I came on a Sunday at noon and we were the only ones in the coffee shop. We were able to find street parking. For the pros. I love the emo theme and the vibes!! The decor was on point and they had different vinyls to look through. I think it's so different and unique as I've never been to a coffee shop like this before. The worker was also super sweet and we had a nice conversation. Great customer service! However, the drinks were a miss for me. We tried the flavored latte (both vanilla bean and hazelnut), which was $6 each. The latte just tasted like flavored milk. I know it's mostly milk in lattes but I couldn't taste any espresso/coffee. Overall, I still think the concept is great and maybe I tried the wrong drink.
This place is super spunky, and it definitely is a one-of-kind. I saw the high reviews, saw the style, and knew I would love it. The cashier was friendly, and their restroom key is wack but cool. It's literally a trophy with a key attached to it. It is outside, but I mean at least they have one! The design is cozy and makes you feel like you're at a small concert venue. Whoever put this all together really has an eye for details. The drink itself was pretty good. My boyfriend told me she was struggling to get the matcha powder to blend in, but it was chunky, even though it was a little grainy. The color was great, and I'm glad we came here. We'll definitely be back! There is so much to look at there, that we'll have to return to take it all in.
Street parking was super easy to find, which is always a plus. The vibe inside this café is everything--thrifted pieces on a rack, a Street Fighter arcade machine, album covers decorating the walls, Harry Potter playing on the TV, and the sweetest gal working the register and making my coffee. The aesthetics are right up my alley and gave the place such a warm, fun atmosphere. I tried their Lavender Ghost latte and absolutely loved it. If I lived in Brea, I'd definitely be coming here all the time. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
Based on other reviews, it seems like this place is either hit or miss. It was a hit for us. Upon walking in we were met with rock music playing over the speakers, humorous menu and signage, anime stickers plastered all over the espresso machine, an arcade nook, and shelves of records. The coffee cup sleeves are also hand stamped just before being used to serve the coffee which is the nicest touch. The vibes, coffee, and service were all immaculate. 1000/10. The barista was so kind and answered our questions. They told us about how all syrups are steeped and made in-house, and allayed my concerns about lavender drinks sometimes being too perfume-y for me, and how the lavender syrup is made with European lavender, and if I didn't like my drink, they would be more than happy to make a different one for me. Spoiler alert: I didn't need a different drink. Lavender Ghost, iced. Another reviewer said this tasted medicinal / herbal. I can see why someone would say that, given the overtly flowery faux-lavender flavoring of other coffee stores. However, to my palette, this lavender syrup tasted natural, authentic, and calming. It was also clearly the star of the show without being overwhelming. Emo Latte, hot. This was like drinking a dark chocolate and orange truffle. Rich, delicious, elegant, comforting. When I got home, I had this with dark chocolate covered candied orange peels, and I was literally sent to heaven, same-day shipping. Espresso Occultonic. The thing about espresso tonics is that the coffee actually needs to be good, and Melted Vinyl's ET is better than most. And at $3 a pop, we also ended up taking home six records, some of which were as old as my parents. All of them were in good condition and played beautifully. Overall, we had a lovely experience and will definitely be back.

The best Americano I've had in a long time! Aside from the good coffee, the atmosphere is unlike the traditional coffee shop. It has so much more personality than a cookie cutter type of place and the owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. this will be my go to place when Im in the area and need a cup! read more

Such a cute little shop right on the corner of Brea Blvd and Alder. It used to be the Fat Freddie's sandwich spot. Mike the owner is so nice and helpful! If you love 2000 to present emo/metal/hardcore music you will love this place! If I wasn't on a time crunch I could have stayed here talking for hours! Now to the coffee, I got the Emo Latte with oat milk, it was so flavorful and smooth. Dark chocolate is used to give it it's color and the bitterness of the chocolate played off the milk so well. I will definitely be coming back to try the Lavender Ghost Latte and the plain ol cold brew too. read more
Hey y'all! I came the first time about three weeks ago. I saw a Facebook post on breanow and was super excited to check it out. It's walking distance from my apartment and I thought it would be a cool spot to get coffee cause I have an addiction and get coffee 5 days a week. The owner was working and his name is Mike. He was so funny! Really sweet and seemed so stoked on life and opening up his own business. I was like heck ya! I want to support a local business rather than Starbucks. I got the flavored latte. I picked vanilla as my flavor. I usually get Carmel but they don't have it here... it ended up being kinda cold warm.. not hot and it didn't give me that kick at all. I thought I'd give it another try. Second time I came in the owner wasn't working but the guy there was just as nice. I got Emo coffee this time and it was super weird. Orange flavored? It made my breathe smell like alcohol too. I had people asking if I drank vodka. I thought I'd try the shop one more time. I got the flavored coffee again. I asked for it to be extra hot. It was ok.. but it didn't have a lot of flavor. It tasted like milk. I actually went somewhere else and got coffee right afterwards. I really love the atmosphere and the owner. I wanted to give my full support and be there 5 days a week. But I can't if I don't like the coffee. I'll come in here occasionally. I really hope the best for this new business. read more

Lavender Ghost was by far one of the best coffees I've had. Words can't even describe how flavorful and smooth this coffee was. It was the perfect blend and the lavender wasn't overpowering. I highly recommend Melted Vinyl Coffee. Great vibe, music, and coffee. Owner has an amazing collection of vinyl records and great DJ. I will definitely go back to support this small business. read more

Checked out this cute little spot today and fell in love! The space itself is awesome!! From the colorful walls, cartons of vintage vinyls, to the the rack of vintage shirts to peruse and buy, the shop was a refreshing experience within itself. The owner Myke was very personable and took the time to explain everything on the menu and all he offers. Ordered the Lavender Ghost Latte - highly recommend!! Loved the herbal flavor which wasn't too strong and was so smooth and delicious! I also grabbed one of the Chai vegan donuts and I was obsessed!! Took the time to play a few rounds of Street fighter also while I enjoyed my drink and donut. It was such a comfortable, unique, intimate space that I would 100% visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you so much Myke, you deserve the employee of the month!! read more

A great hidden gem in Brea! I've been here twice and both times have been amazing, it brings the energy of a more intimate and artisanal coffee shop that no one else has in this area of OC. The owner is super nice and always great to talk to, and they have a nice selection of vintage t-shirts and vinyls to check out (the t-shirts I looked at were all $5, try finding a better deal somewhere else). On my first visit I got the emo latte, and on my second visit I got the lavender ghost, both were rad! Emo latte is super balanced and has a nice orange under-taste, and the lavender ghost has a sweet but not overwhelming more natural lavender flavor. And they have oat milk! A+ from me read more

Great little find in Brea that I didn't know was there! I'm a long time resident of Fullerton and often find myself in Brea for chores, coffee, movies and always looking to support local business. Ran into this little coffee shop that's got a great little vibe. Great coffee, old records and vintage T-shirts! Coffee was great and the owner was very personable will be back! read more

I finally tried this local coffee shop and it did not disappoint !!! Mike the owner is really nice, makes great coffee And the place has a cozy- home feeling where you can just chill.

Great drinks, great atmosphere. I loved the Lavender Ghost Latte and my sister loved the seasonal vanilla cinnamon latte. Syrups are made in house and you can tell by the quality of the drink. read more

Hi Mike! I was just in the shop and we discussed your merch. I was wondering if there are any other shirts besides the ones online? I saw a dashboard confessional shirt and was wondering if that one is available? Please let me know. Thanks!…
All the shirts that are on the walls are old vintage t shirts or from shows or donated unfortunately. The only ones we sell have our name on them or sometimes limited release. Thank you for coming in!!!
It's been over a month since they closed for renovations and and it looks like nothing is happening. It's still a mess inside. Really bummed because there have been no updates on their socials in over a month either. Hope all is ok. Will they reopen?
Yes we are planning on reopening we ran to to some complications with the renovations but we are back on track! We miss all you and plan on being open ASAP and will have an update on socials for everyone soon! Sorry for the inconvenience we miss you… Read more
When is this place open, if ever? Driven by different times of the day and its closed, always. NEED COFFEE!
According to the last Instagram posts, I know they've been remodeling recently. That might be why they seem closed more often recently.
