I have been loving all the banana matchas from other cafes I have been going to recently so decided to try a banana matcha latte from here. Banana Cha Cha Latte (0/5): The banana flavor was insanely sweet and super artificial tasting. The matcha itself wasn't strong and you can tell by the color that it isn't the best quality. The drink itself was super thick like cough syrup. Would rather pay $7.50 elsewhere. Besides that, the environment was super cute and relaxing. My friend got the pistachio latte which was pretty good, very sweet though! read more

The Classic Cafe - Banana Cha Cha Latte (new menu item) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

To start, this review is long overdue. Secondly, if you just want to know how good the drinks are here, this isn't the review for you. The Classic Cafe is a beautiful place with owners and employees that exude personalities that are just as beautiful. The place is wonderfully decorated (there's an entire backyard area to sit in), and it doesn't feel like you're walking into a cafe; it feels like going to your aunt and uncle's house to study while they feed you. The coffee is great, and the food is nostalgic and comforting (my favorites are the salty toffee latte and the cup-baps). I wouldn't say their items aren't anything to wait in a long line for, but this place is owned by people who really understand that cafe culture isn't just about Tik-Tok viral drinks--its about the people that you see come in every day. That brings me to the most important thing to mention about this cafe: the people. The people here are extremely kind, and the owners are some of the kindest souls I've ever met. Of course, there will always be bad reviews about rude employees and rude customers--but just like every self-respecting place, they will treat you if you just show them decency and respect. One of the owners, Tony, has treated me so well every time I've been here and has more than often, gone the distance to make each visit incredible. I have done nothing to deserve such treatment but be a normal customer. Please, hear me out and give this place a try and see for yourself. read more

I was recommended this place by mouth from a friend and wow this place did not disappoint! I came on a Friday at 6:30 PM and there was no line to order. As soon as I confirmed with my husband on what we were ordering, I was able to order and sit at a table of my choosing in one minute. Matcha Latte: They use the good matcha powder, very creamy and smooth. Iced Banana Chacha Latte: Basically a matcha latte with banana powder mixed in. I was totally into it because I could clearly taste both! Turkey Pesto Panini: 10/10 Am going to order again. Solid Panini, everyone will love it. Regular Sized Chicken Breast Cupbap: The chicken breast option sounded healthy to me. I loved it but my husband wants to try a different meat next time. The cupbap in general was amazing though. Cheese Dduk Bok-Ki: I was tempted at the cheap price and it was a good amount of food that I could finish. With the cheese, the spicyness is maybe 2/10(?). Next time I would order something else though because it tastes like any other teokbokki. The place is go in line to order then find a spot sort of vibe in my opinion. I didn't explore but from what I saw in the first room, it was pretty spacious! Mix and Match furniture type vibes so every spot feels new. There is also a self-serve water fountain near the cashier and a wifi code in case you want to work on something here. Overall, no complaints whatsoever from me. I had an amazing meal and even got a relaxing evening hike at the Hiltscher Park Trail after. I will definitely come back with more people next time. read more

House turned into cafe. One of my favorite cafe shops! Delicious food, tasty drinks, awesome service, indoor seating, beautiful back patio seating, nice energy. Everything was awesome. There's a small parking lot in the back and street parking in the front. read more

Nice looking location, lots of seating. Music, ambiance, murmur of conversations; it's almost perfect, except for the loud, obnoxious beeping sound the pagers are set to. Kills the vibe. This is one of those details owners miss in the countless decisions they need to make daily. Menu is interesting, but the execution of the food is mid at best. They should include something on the plate besides the $13 sandwich, many a small handful of chips? The bulgogi was ok, but seemed boiled not grilled, and the tomatoes were pale and flavorless. I would definitely come back, but they should think about small changes to improve the overall experience read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! My wife and I travelled 45 minutes from Torrance today to try this place out for first time but found out when we got there that it was CLOSED! Website made no mention of being closed today. Other ppl were also there so we know we weren't only ones expecting them to be open. Business should have website updated correctly!!! Will NOT try to come back here. read more

Salty Toffee Latte: Good consistency and ratio. The cream makes it very lush and doesn't leave a greasy feeling that heavy cream can. Espresso is a little sour for my tastes. A stronger toffee flavor would cover that and make it a bit sweeter. Minion Latte: Also has a nice consistency because of the cream. The banana chips/crumble is a great choice for a topping to support the banana flavor. It doesn't take away from the texture of the drink at all. The banana syrup is made in house and tastes great. Not too artificial tasting and gives the drink a bright flavor that makes it an enjoyable latte. Pecan Tart: Delicious! A nice consistency and sweetness. It is a thin tart with lots of nuts which can be different than what some people are used to. I would definitely get the Minion Latte again but I do want to try the pistachio latte because their banana syrup was so good. A beautiful interior with unique and welcoming furniture. The staff were very friendly and overall I look forward to coming again! read more

I've been dying to try this place since I heard they were going to open. They're currently in there soft opening phase and let me tell you, this is probably one of the cutest cafes you'll find in Downtown Fullerton. Let me also tell you right now so that you don't end up driving in circles like me. There is a small little parking area in the alleyway behind the business with about 5 or so parking spots. There's also street parking in front of the cafe as well. Now let me tell you, when I walked in, I was in awe! I entered from the back of the cafe and it felt like I walked into a cute little vintage fairy garden. It was seriously the cutest thing ever. This is definitely a family-owned cafe as the people who were working seemed like they were the owner (husband and wife). As I am writing this, I am still sipping on my Sweet Blue Dreams Latte with oat milk. While the drink looked super aesthetic, I couldn't really taste what the blue portion was once it was mixed in with the coffee. Even then, the latte was still very good. I also got the Korean spicy ramen which is your typical bowl of instant ramen, but somehow eating it here really hits the spot. They also gave me a side of pickled (something) which I could eat a whole bowlful of. This place is also great if you want to hangout and study. They have plenty of seating inside and out. There are some outlets scattered around the walls. They also provide wifi here. Overall, this is the cutest Korean cafe and I am so glad they opened. I did see they had other food options so I look forward to trying those in future as well as their other nifty drinks. read more

Found this new cafe while looking on yelp and i think this place replaced Veronese cafe? But anyways! I think i found one of my fav local coffee shops :) This place is super cute, cozy, and quaint. So many tables inside and outside (more outside, it'll be perfect during the spring time). I love their einspanner and i can't wait to go back! read more

Probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing places in Fullerton! My friends and I wanted to get together for lunch/coffee so we decided to try out this spot. I've been wanting to come here for a while so I was very excited to finally get the chance! Parking is rough, so just a heads up. We winded up parking in the Fullerton library parking area, but there's street parking and parking near the neighborhoods if you're lucky. The outside is absolutely adorable. Took a ton of cute photos of their decor. The inside was equally wonderful. It feels so homey! They did a great job capturing the vibe. I ordered a Turkey pesto panini and an iced matcha latte with almond milk. Totaled to around $23 (after tip). My friends tried their speciality coffee and avocado toast/sandwiches. It took a bit for the food to come out but we didn't mind because we were chatting the entire time. It's also a small business run by two people (from what I saw), so you must be patient! However, our food was brought to us and our drinks were brought later. I really liked my panini and my matcha was great! Also had a sip of my friend's toffee latte and that was YUM! We were there for over 2 hours and it was just a very lovely time. You can tell the owners love their job and have put a lot of work into the business. I can definitely see myself coming back here again with friends or even just to study. read more

Very underwhelming experience. The ambiance is unlike anything I've ever seen and the cafe resembles an antique shop, which is so unique and cool. That's the only thing this place has going for them. The drinks are good but nothing special. The coffee was a tad sour and not the best quality. The prices are STEEP. My brother ordered a small panini that costed $13 and tasted just okay. read more

Came to check out The Classic Cafe after seeing a post on IG. Upon entering from the back entrance (after parking by the library..both street parking and back parking lot was full by 11:30) I was surprised to see how crowded it was. There are plenty of tables outside. They have music playing in the backyard and you are surrounded by greenery. Very charming. Now for the food...enjoyed my carmel salted latte and hubby got the banana latte. It was all YUMMY! Great place to relax with friends, family, coworkers. They have plenty of Korean options cupbaps, ramen too...but the paninis were good especially the turkey pesto. Would recommend and love it is in OC and my hometown of Fullerton. read more

I ordered the avocado toast with bacon and there was a generous amount of guacamole on a very thin slice of bread and MAYBE one-half total slice of bacon. The banana latte didn't have any banana flavor at all. read more

Hands down the most beautiful cafe I've ever been to! I would come every day if I could. The exterior is decorated with beautiful sculptures and greenery. Inside the feel is cozy and comfortable. There's large tables if you want to study or smaller tables if you want to sit and have a conversation. So many drink options on the menu, definitely something for everyone. Staff is friendly and you receive your order in a timely manner. The matcha had a great flavor without being too overpowering. All matcha lovers would appreciate this drink! Definitely stop by if you can :) read more

I've had this spot on my list for a while now and finally had the chance to check it out. I was worried about parking on a Sunday but we got lucky finding one spot in the back alley. The place blends in with its surroundings since it's literally a house shrouded with landscape. There's plenty of seating outside but since it was too cold we sat inside which was limited. It was a bit confusing at first but you order first, and then you take your seats. I don't know how the crowds are other days but Sunday was crowded inside and it could remove you from the ambiance. The pagers they give for your order beep really loud and ruin the vibe each time someone's order is ready to pick up. I wish they had a system that texts our phones instead of using those obnoxious pagers. Besides that, I really like this place and it'll be perfect to sit outside during the summer. I ordered the Bulgogi Panini and the Chocolate tiramisu latte and both were delicious. I was still hungry after eating my sandwich but I was content. read more

In terms of following an aesthetic, this place nails it. Walking in, I felt right at home, and the atmosphere was so cozy. There is also decor outside as well that was very cute. I recommend studying here, but when I came I had to wait a bit for seats. The drink I got was an iced salty toffee latte. It won't blow your mind, but it's not bad. The toffee bits definitely add to the drink, and the drink itself is what you would expect for a decent quality latte. My experience with the service was great, contrary to some reviews I read. My only nitpick is that I initially got a bit confused about where to park, but I parked in the back neighborhood streets and walked to the front. read more

The space of this place is a super cute cottagey vibe house! I love how homey these home-flipped-to-cafes feel and is honestly giving similar vibes to mantra coffee house in Azusa! There's ample seating indoor and outdoors in their patio or garden area and the decorations are beautiful! I tried their blueberry hojichq latte, which is something I've never seen before, and it was absolutely delicious! I like that you can taste the notes of the blueberry and hojichq but one isn't more overpowering than the other! Would recommend! read more

The workers don't talk to much however that does not make it a bad experience the scenery is absolutely beautiful and the food is very much worth every penny. The drinks are solid and worth praise the ocean lemonade is one I highly recommend. Their food options are well balanced and overall a great place to sit down and hang out and especially to study read more

The cutest cafe ever. Feels like a little cottage home, I love the whole vibe, interior, and homey feel of this place. A really great place to go and do work! They have such a cute front patio and back patio as well. I got a strawberry matcha (forgot to take a pic ) but it was so good! A bit on the sweeter side but I didn't mind, and it was a good balance of both matcha and strawberry flavors. They have a lot of korean food too which I didn't expect, but i love cafes that have solid drinks AND good food. Service was okay, I didn't feel as welcomed with the cashiers attitude but I know it was late and they were probably tired. But that would be my only reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars. Overall, a great place to hangout, late hours, cozy feel, and a lot different from a lot of cafes so I love it!!! read more

Great seating, spacious, outlets, good service, WiFi, only down side it gets a bit warm inside. AMAZING mild Korean style ramen for $10 (+tax and tip comes out around $11). It's extremely filling with the perfect amount of soup, noodles, rice cakes, and egg. 10/10 Mini Pecan Pie $7 delicious as well. 9.8/10 -0.2 pts due to the price although I would say it's worth it! read more

Today's establishment is all about AMBIANCE! For sure. Fairy Gardens everywhere you turn around. My Granddaughter and I were mesmerized at the creativity and the detail placed into their decor. Breathtaking sums it up in a nutshell. Coffee was great tasting. Hibiscus teas of fifteenth varieties were delicious. Avocado toast tasted great. Spicy Ramen is delicious. Their sandwiches are good too. Inside and outside seating available. The only negative issue was there is only one bathroom. This place gets packed so that becomes an issue when people take longer than they should in the restroom. Other than that, this is an Amazing cafe and very highly recommended. Customer service is exceptional. read more

I visited the Classic Café today for brunch and was immediately charmed by its unique layout and cozy cottage vibe. The decor is eclectic and fun, with knickknacks and trinkets scattered throughout the space. It's a great spot for Instagram-worthy photos and a Instagrammable experience. However, the food was a letdown. The prices were steep, and unfortunately, the flavors didn't live up to the ambiance. While the ambiance was lovely, the taste was lacking. Despite the disappointment with the food, I would still consider visiting again to try more of their unique drinks. I tried the blueberry Matcha today and was glad that it wasn't too sweet. But it would be perfect if it was stirred a little bit better because the first sip was unpleasant being concentrated Matcha powder at the bottom that was very bitter.. If you're a fan of creative drinks, it might be worth checking out. Just don't go in expecting a culinary masterpiece. read more

I visited on a Friday morning and it wasn't busy at all! I parked in a neighborhood in the back with a decent amount of parking. The atmosphere is so cozy and warm, a great hangout spot. There is wifi for studying as well! Salty Toffy Latte (4.5/5): Subtle toffee flavor with a hint of salt. Super creamy and a good balance of coffee! I love the Biscoff bits, it really paired well with the caramel foam. Turkey Pesto Panini (4/5): Perfectly toasted with a crispy layer of bread at the top. Good ratio of ingredients that balanced well. The only thing missing I'd say is a sauce to dip to go with it. Overall, it was the right amount of food to satisfy my hunger but not have me too full which was perfect! Definitely will come back to try more of their Korean foods! read more
