    OMG why is no one talking about the Nitro-coffee on tap? It is a must try especially with the summer looking at us. Stellar service ive had the burritos too. Taken many many bags of used up coffee grounds up used for my gardening compos. For free they post the free brown bags of 10 lbs coffee grounds again for gardening. Regardless great brew house. With front easy parking. No steps easy for our elders access or those in wheelchairs.

    Issues with WiFi - use ATT, not pilgrimscoffeeGuest
    Breana D.

    Not the best experience. For context: I came to grab a coffee since I had a busy work day ahead of me. I started to browse the menu, not sure what I wanted since it was my first time there. Couldn't decide yet so I sat down and tried to connect my laptop to the WiFi but it took me longer than expected because the WiFi in big letters was invalid. The network wouldn't pop up and I had a work meeting in less than 30 minutes (I restarted my laptop, downloaded the newest update, tried to enter the network manually etc. etc.) nothing was working then I took another look and saw there was a small sticker on top that says ATT. I finally got connected with that network with 5 minutes to spare for my meeting so I got myself situated and hopped on the call. During the meeting, the owner came up to me and said "if you're going to hang out here you need to buy something" it was honestly really off setting because he interrupted me mid conversation so I pointed to my headphones to let him know I was on a call. Afterwards, I walked over and let him know I was planning on grabbing a drink after my meeting and he told me I should have paid for something before hand.......I told him no worries, i'll leave I won't be spending my money here after all and packed up my things and left. But honestly if it weren't for the whole WiFi situation I would have been able to order my drink prior but that interaction happened and I didn't feel the need to explain myself but the fact that he was rude about it I would rather not support this business, there's way better coffee shops in the area.

    Coffee Thursday ..

    Pilgrim's Coffee House Fullerton, CA We checked out Pilgrim's Coffee in Fullerton! Overall, we had a pleasant experience and enjoyed the traditional coffee local coffee house atmosphere. Iced Butterscotch with oatmilk   We were curious to try this drink and were pleased by how subtle and smooth it was. It had a nice mellow sweetness, and the coffee flavor wasn't too bitter. The drink seemed a little lighter, requiring more coffee. We recommend adding an extra shot next time for more of that espresso kick. The Iced Pistachio with oatmilk This drink was enjoyable. This drink had a full and rich flavor at the beginning, with a good balance between nuttiness and coffee. Definitely felt like a more developed drink. The barista was super kind, helpful, and informative,  adding a wonderful personality to the whole experience. We enjoyed talking to her and felt so welcomed. We also love that the shop is dog-friendly. Plgrim's also has a good variety of drinks and food to choose from. We're definitely open to coming back and trying more. They've got a solid menu with plenty of options!

    chocolate chip cookies and vanilla latte

    I visited this quiet coffee shop late on a weekday afternoon. The vibe is chill and peacefull. The interior has quite a number of tables and art by Fullerton College students was scattered on the walls. I ordered a regular sized vanilla latte and a pack of two homemade chocolate chip cookies. They use Golden State Coffee here which is high quality. My latte lacked any vanilla flavor but the coffee itself was excellent. The cookies, wrapped in plastic wrap, tasted fresh and had plenty of chips to satisfy a chocolate sweet tooth. The friendly, kind fellow working here seemed to know most of the customers who were coming in, chatting while taking their orders. Definitely a great place to come if you want a relaxing place to sit and space out while enjoying your coffee.

    Cute little coffee shop. Small selection of coffees and lots of seating. Glad there was lots of outlets for my electronics.

    Had to kill some time while the bookstore across this cafe was processing trade-in so I decided to stop by this cafe and get some coffee. As soon as I entered the cafe, all the artworks on the wall immediately captured my eyes. I was excited to see that they were all my Fullerton College colleagues' awesome collections that after I ordered my coffee from a friendly barista, I sat down and soak everything in. There were group of people studying/working with their laptop, catching up with friends and families and enjoying the warm sunny day with their favorite beverages. It was a very peaceful and comfortable place to hang out. I ordered iced Americano, hot chocolate and cinnamon roll, which wasn't great but there wasn't anything special about them. They also sold fruits and vegetable cold pressed juices so I'm interested in trying one of the juices next time.

    Great local coffee shop to have in Fullerton. Came here on an early Sunday morning and loved the cozy vibe of the shop. Service here is super friendly. They were really helpful when I asked for tea recommendations. Got the blueberry hibiscus tea and a bagel. Both were pretty standard. They do also sell pressed juice here and a variety of other drinks.

    Iced Matcha Latte

    While this coffee place is tucked away in DTF, don't underestimate it! My co-worker and I had been wanting to try out this place for a while and finally decided to visit on a rainy Monday. I was shocked at how busy it was inside (but then remembered it was a holiday and there's nothing like enjoying some coffee and doing work on a rainy day). My co-worker loves kombucha and was excited to see his favorite brand was on-tap. He got that and then I got an iced matcha latte w/ almond milk (my go-to at any coffee place). The prices here are some of the best in DTF. I think we had the owner as the person helping us out and he was very kind! I enjoyed my drink. Just from the vibes alone, I could tell this was a hidden gem. There's a bunch of seating inside and it just feels very cozy. Tons of cool/local art adorn the walls. I feel like if they had a stronger social media presence, they would be the talk of the DTF coffee scene (but that's just my marketing persona talking haha). Can definitely see myself coming back here with friends (or even just myself when I want to study).

    Books are available!

    Stopped in for a latte the other day. I was surprised to find this cute little cafe in DTF. There are many cafes around Fullerton but I have to say this is my favorite so far. They were playing relaxing music that's perfect for studying! The woman who took my order was in a great mood and she was so kind! I will definitely be back with my computer to study! The cafe was clean and welcoming as well

    Black bean and cheese breakfast burrito
    Jana H.

    Really love this downtown coffee shop. Their coffee is consistently good and the owner, Jeff, is super nice and friendly. Both their espresso (in an Americano) and drip coffee have good flavor and never seem too strong, weak, or watered down. They serve Golden State's coffee, which is another big plus. Tried their black bean and cheese breakfast burrito and it was just right for the price ($6.25). They also serve other breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, and some pastries. Would highly recommend for a great spot for a meeting or to work.

    There were actually several coffee shops we could have gone to but we happened to walk by this one and went in. Coffee, fortunately was great. The service, I must say, was not so great. It was next to very unwelcoming. It was sad. Coffee houses are supposed to be like the coolest chillest place to be. I didn't feel this way that day. We even went on to order a bagel and muffin. The muffin was cold and wasn't the freshest. But we stayed and finished our lattes, anyway. Sometimes you go into these independent coffee shops to support local businesses. No good deed goes unpunished. Hopefully next time, service will be a little more pleasant for everyone's benefit.

    Do not spend a single dollar here. Allergen requests ignored, orders wrong, zero accountability…read more If you have a food allergy, do not eat here. Full stop. The written menu advertises nondairy milk and ingredient modifications, but the kiosk doesn't actually let you select any of them. Staff told us to put substitutions in "special comments" and promised they'd be honored. They weren't- on a single order, twice. We ordered two coffees (oat milk, whole milk) and two customized breakfast burritos. It took 40 minutes. We were the only customers in the cafe. When the food came out, nothing was labeled / not the drinks, not the burritos- and staff couldn't tell us which was which. When I explained that one of us has a dairy allergy and asked them to identify the allergen-free items, I got a blank stare. We opened both burritos: both had cheese, despite my explicit no-cheese request. Their solution? "Can you pick it out?" No. You cannot pick out melted cheese from an allergen order. I was not offered a fresh burrito, just another blank stare until I specifically stated "I need you to remake this with the proper ingredients and confirm what you put in." Once again the burrito came out with no label, and when I asked for clarity on what was in it I was again met me with a blank stare. My partner's burrito was also wrong (pico she'd asked to have removed), but by then the 40-minute wait had made her late for work. When I asked for a refund on her incorrect meal, I was told they couldn't refund it "because she left." When I asked to leave written feedback: "we don't accept written feedback." Manager? Not in. Manager's phone number? Don't have it. But here's what pushed this from bad service to abominable: there is no way to hold this place accountable. At no point did anyone acknowledge a mistake had been made or make any real attempt to fix it- every wrong order was met with a shrug and the expectation that I'd just live with it. When I asked to leave written feedback, I was told they don't accept it. When I asked for the manager, they weren't in. When I asked for a manager's phone number or someone to contact, the employee "didn't have access to that." A business that serves people with food allergies MUST have a way for customers to flag problems in real time and reach management. This place has built a system where mistakes can't be reported, refunds can't be issued, and no one is responsible for anything. To be clear, this isn't on the line staff - one employee clearly hadn't been given the language support or training to succeed, and that's a management failure. The other younger employee was just incompetent and unhelpful, even though she was clearly aware of the requests. If you advertise allergen accommodations, you have to execute them, label them, and answer for it when you don't. Until this place fixes its ordering system, its labeling, and its total lack of accountability, spend your money literally anywhere else.

The employees were nice and our drinks came out quickly. I got the Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk and Vanilla Bean Syrup based on other Yelpers' recommendations, and I really enjoyed it! The vanilla bean was a nice addition to the matcha, especially since it has a slightly more bitter, grassy flavor on its own. Overall, it was really balanced and something I'd order again. My partner got the Iced Vanilla Latte, which was also well balanced--not too strong or bitter and not overly sweet. A little simple for my taste, but still good! The menu felt a little limited and took me a minute to figure out when I first looked online, but I think this is one of those spots where you find your favorites after a few visits or looking into what others enjoy. I'll definitely be back to try something new!
