The Sweet Blue Dreams Latte was so good! I'm not a huge espresso fan, but this latte hits the sweet tooth! Service was very friendly and quick too! The vibes of this place seem so chill and relaxing. They have cafe music playing throughout, and have fun little trinkets like we're in a magical play land! Such a fun place for brunch or dinner! read more

The Classic Café lives up to its name with a warm, nostalgic charm and a cozy atmosphere perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The décor blends vintage touches with modern comfort, creating a welcoming vibe. Takes you to a whimsical garden filled with magical fairies, blooming flowers, lush greenery, tiny figurines, and enchanted surroundings. Excellent spot for a peaceful serene environment full of healing energy. Find a seat first before ordering your food because it can get busy quick especially for lunch rush. I had ordered Ramen noodles with eggs for my daughter, grilled ham and cheese sandwich, and the Minions coffee. Was a bit dissatisfied with food options due to small portions for hefty prices. Didn't meet my expectations for food wise, but the coffee was great! It was so good! Will only return for the coffee and beautiful garden! read more

I was looking for Korean Coffee during lunch break and I saw this amazing spot. The décor is classic Americana from the front yard to the back yard and every wonderful area in between. There are many unique and charming places to sit where people chat, hang out, study, work, and enjoy great coffee, food, pastry, sweets, and more. The service was excellent, fast and accurate. You get a buzzer to let you know when your food and coffee is ready. One of the employees gave me a tip, reminding me to stir, which I have forgotten at times, so, I liked that. There is a parking lot on the backside, but I parked in the street In a 2 hour parking area. When the city is at it busiest, I am not sure if I would take Harbor or find away around it, I guess I will know next time. I will be back to try the foods and more coffee, while listening to Rose, Black Pink, and New Jeans.

It's such a cute quirky place to have coffee! I did my bridesmaid proposal here and it's perfect! I was surprised it was packed on a Sunday but thankfully there was space for us. I ordered the double ube latte and it was amazing! The staff was kind and brought us trays to use to deliver drinks to our table. read more

This place is adorable from the beginning...from the front gate to the back of the house! We came at 1:30pm thinking it wouldn't be packed but we were wrong. The line is to the door! We got our drinks pretty quickly after ordering There was no problem getting a table We loved the backyard seating!! It was cute and peaceful. There's a rear parking lot in addition to parking on the streets. We enjoyed our drinks and the cupbap. Pricing was also reasonable. I can't wait to come back and try other drinks. There is so many to choose from. read more

Parking: there's parking in the back (limited) but there's also available parking on the street. Service: this cafe gets very busy! Staff may be overwhelmed so I get it but service can be better. Coffee: They have many options! And their coffee is delicious! Bathroom: only one bathroom is available Overall, be prepared to wait during the weekends if you come during the week service is quick. This is a perfect cafe for friends , a date or even to catch up on work. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. I recommend if you're in the Fullerton area and are looking for a cute cafe. read more

This hidden gem is highly recommended, it's a first come first serve so no reservations required. I'd say.come early cause this place gets full. I ordered a sweet blue dream iced latte and an avocado toast. My friend ordered simple Roman noodles and they were all delicious. The ambiance was a classic vintage style home with plenty of tables both out outside and inside. They also have a beautiful place outside to take photos and relax. read more

Found another local gem on Yelp and it did not disappoint!!! It looks smaller from the outside, but the backyard patio section has plenty of open seating to choose from. I loved the backyard garden vibes outdoors. I noticed they have blankets that customers can use if it gets cold, and multiplayer games as well. I thought was a a thoughtful touch. (: You order at the counter and they provide you with a buzzer & notify you when your order is ready. I saw previous reviews where they sold Triangle Kimbap and was initially to try that, but the staff stated that the Cupbap was released in replacement of the triangle kimbap. I was a little bit sad, and somewhat weary that the cabbage would overpower the rest of the dish. That was definitely not the case, as the flavors were delicious and the portion size was fantastic! If you're feeling extra hungry, or want to take some to-go, maybe go for the Large, but the regular size is more than enough in my opinion. Without a doubt, I'll be returning in the future for sure read more

I have been going here since around when they first opened and it's really become a go to coffee spot! For starters the vibes and energy of the shop are unmatched. It's pretty much a house that was turned into a coffee shop with tons of seating both indoors or outdoors in their lovely garden. With tons of shaded spots and greenery it makes a perfect spot to relax or work while grabbing a drink. All the lattes I've tried have been really good, and this time I got the Minions Latte (banana flavored) and again it didn't disappoint! Their food is also very tasty and perfect for a small lunch. I usually go for the sandwiches but they have so many other unique options like ramen and Korean style dishes. I think their menu really sets them apart from some other spots in the area. The service has always been very friendly, and overall they're a great spot to check out! Even when they're busy (like today) we still got everything very quickly. The parking might be the only downside, but truthfully I've never had problems finding a spot in the back or even on a street nearby. Either way this spot is a standout in a city full of great coffee options. I've seen them posted on tik tok lately too, and I'll say they definitely deserve the attention! read more

The Classic Cafe - Minions Latte and Club Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place is adorable! I'd describe it as charming vintage cottage core. Soo much variety in seating with tons of outlets both indoors AND OUTDOORS!! I am shook they have outlets outdoors, truly a study/work gem of a spot for those that prefer to be outside with fresh air. Came at 11:20am on Sunday, by 12 there was a huge line and by afternoon the place was so packed. The cupbaps were good, with a bed of rice, glass noodles, an egg, cabbage and lots of sauce. Bulgolgi was a little sweet, I preferred the Spicy Pork. Excited to try their sandwiches next time. The drinks were more dessert than coffee imo. The Matcha Einspanner was very thick but good, and the Salty Toffy Latte initially tasted like drinking ice cream. Will have to try espressos next time. read more

Okay, I finally have the time to write a more thorough review. I absolutely love the Classic Cafe. Service/Ambiance: The staff here is always friendly and welcoming. Their drinks are fantastic and they come out quick. I love the vibe of the classic cafe. The space must've been a house before because the main area is like a living room. I love that the tables and chairs are all different. Everything from the art to the wallpaper to the furniture emulates the coziness of someone's home. I love the outdoor area as well because it reminds me of a garden. Plenty of seating and fresh air! Drink Consensus: The lattes are divine here. The iced pistachio latte is my favorite. I'm not the biggest coffee fan but I'm making my way there. The pistachio latte uses house made pistachio syrup and pistachio cream and it is perfection. There's also roasted crushed pistachios in the drink, yum!!! Salty toffy latte and hot latte are great as well. The quality of the expresso is excellent and the drinks are tasty. 10/10. I'd highly recommend trying the Classic Cafe. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend, do some reading, or to study. read more

#147 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. The Classic Cafe is a Korean coffeeshop and cafe. How can you tell? It might be the local ajummas chatting away while enjoying breakfast out back (fun!), or maybe it's the fact that they offer some of my favorite Korean street food and snacks on the menu, like tteokbokki, ramen, and cupbap. The Classic Cafe is a one-of-a-kind coffeeshop. I've never seen a cafe quite like this, not even in Ktown (and that's including The Yellow House Cafe that sadly closed). Like the yellow house, The Classic Cafe is located inside a converted historic home, creating a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. My favorite aspect though was their beautiful and spacious patio, filled with eclectic and antique decor. Every piece of furniture and decor was different and mismatched, but it somehow all tied together to create a cozy ambiance with vintage charm, like visiting grandma for a home cooked meal. I also love how they have a stack of thick blankets to use while out on the patio, which I definitely took advantage of in the cold morning weather. They're also super pet friendly! The owner was soooo nice to my fur babies. He came out to say hi and pet them, and he brought them a bowl of water and treats. My fur babies were thrilled. As for the coffee, to be honest I wasn't a fan of the salty toffee latte. The toffee syrup tasted a little too artificial to me. But I did love my sweet dreams latte and finished it in seconds! Next time I plan to try the food as well. Overall, The Classic Cafe is a first-rate coffee and snack bar, so go check it out! ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

The Classic Cafe - Salty Toffee & Sweet Dreams latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

Super cute antique style coffee shop. There was street parking but the sign also said there was parking in the back. The afogato was delicious, the ice cream was very tasty and the espresso had a great mild flavor. The sandwich was very good and cooked perfectly. The toffee latte was ok, it was more milky than espresso tasting but it was good. I will be back to try some of their other items. The staff was very helpful and while they normally don't give the afogato in to go cups he did offer it to me if I wanted it. The place itself is very spacious and there it lots of seating outside. Definitely a cute place to come and enjoy some delicious food and coffee. There were a lot of people on their laptops and while I didn't see the wifi password, I also wasn't looking for it so I believe they do offer it with all the people that were working but I'm not sure. I would recommend giving this place a try: read more

4 stars for the ambiance! Love the place, aesthetics, and vibe. Indoor or outdoor seating. This was my first time here and I have been looking for Hojicha Latte close to me. I've recently been liking a place in Tustin. So with all the outstanding reviews, I visited. Unfortunately, the Hojicha Latte was meh. It lacked a depth of flavor. And the to go cup wasn't even filled. However, I am going to go back because maybe I need to try something else! And...they have a yummy looking food menu! read more

This is a classic and cozy find that is different from other coffee shop locations. A renovated house turned coffee shop with food, customers would be pleased to spend an afternoon or evening with friends at this location. Exterior: With both a front and back entrance, there is a lot of outside seating. The greenery makes it more intimate and quiet for those wanting to spend time outside. There are a handful of spaces at the back of the building and if it's full, you can rely on street parking on the main road/neighborhood parking (e.g. 2 hours from 8AM - 4PM) Interior: It has a variety of seating with different wooden and antique tables with plush chairs. They do have outlets with WiFi! Food and Drinks: My party and I ordered a handful of drinks. The Yuju Cha is similar to lemonade (5/5), whereas the other drinks we ordered are pretty reminiscent of what you can order at other places. They are also pretty good to try. Personally, I would consider the food prices reasonable for what it is (example: the mild ramen is $9, whereas other places are twice the amount). You can expect to be satisfied with the food. Overall, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. If you're tired of the overhyped places in the area, give this location a try. read more

I ordered a pistachio latte, a Tiramisu latte, and Forest Lemonade. All came out so good! The service was fast and pleasant despite a very long line. Sarah made my drinks. Thank you, Sarah! The backyard was so relaxing and so was the front entrance. I could fall asleep in a minute. A beautiful and unique garden with ample shade. Each table and chair has a unique spot and great ambiance. I will keep coming back here for more... read more

The ambiance is great, the service & menus seem to have improved. My only problem with them is that they open too late for a coffee place.

I would have never guessed there would be such a charming cafe here! The vibe is very casual. You order at the cashier, and they'll give you a buzzer for your order. Seating is available inside, but I recommend sitting outside in the garden area. The drinks are really good. I got the Banana Latte Einspanner. It's creamy and light from the whipped cream, and the banana flavor is perfect. Not too sweet either. The Choco Tiramisu latte is also really good. The bulgogi panini was ok, but the ham and cheese panini was really good. I think they should switch the bread on the bulgogi panini to the one they use for the ham and cheese. Overall, it's a good place for a casual brunch or to study. I would definitely come back here. read more

Wowow. This cafe is so cute!! It looks like it may have been a house before. The floor creaks when you enter, and the outside area in the back looks like it could have been a backyard. They decorated the interior so nicely. They have like vintage chairs and tables. After you order, they give you a buzzer. After you finish your food, you can take the tray back to the counter. The menu is nice. They serve hot food, one of which is the cupbap $15. I got the kimchi tuna, which was pretty good. I ate it all in one sitting. I was glad to see they have einspanner on the menu! I got the regular 12 oz einspanner $5.50. It was really good! Parking is odd. There's a few street spots, or maybe you can sneak your car at the library parking lot and walk over.. read more

The Classic Cafe - Besttt matcha latte;-) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

I have not tried their food, so I will review solely on the drinks. I ordered an iced pistachio latte, and the drink was not for me. Unfortunately, the hot Spanish latte I ordered was the bigger disappointment. I couldn't really taste the coffee or the flavor, since the drink tasted mostly of milk. Presentation of the drinks are nice though. I believe the person who took my order was the owner. He seems very patient and kind, and I did witness him redo a drink for a customer who ordered something by mistake. The appeal of this café is their setting, which is unique with an antique home captured in a Victorian time capsule, added with a cozy vibe. The décor is cute. The place can get a little stuffy, and I came around late evening with a friend, and the temperature inside was 78°F/ 26°C. I do believe they have AC, but I don't think it was running, given the doors were all open. Parking most likely would be tricky when the place gets busy. There's limited parking in the rear and on the streets. Perhaps if I am ever back in the area, I might consider trying some of the Korean dishes. I personally didn't like the drinks I ordered, but I can see this being a good place for a cozy gathering with friends. read more

I see this place everytime I drive down Commonwealth! Finally tried it and...it's delicious! I've had the pistachio latte with oat milk and I love it! I've also had the Salty Toffee Latte and it's yummy as well! As far as food goes, I've only had the turkey pesto panini which was tasty. Looking forward to trying more of their food and coffees!

Everyone is always very nice and don't mind answering your questions if you have any. read more

Cute cafe located next to residential houses. When you walk in you place your order, they hand you a pager, and then you seat yourself inside or outside. There are a lot of trees, so it makes you feel like you're on vacation. This place is great for a date or catchup with friends. We ordered the black bear blackberry herbal tea, pistachio latte, bulgogi cupbap, and Korean spicy pork panini. Drinks and food were good, but we've had better. Each food item is portioned to be enough for one person. read more

A classic Victorian cafe with a Korean twist. The Classic Cafe is a quaint study spot nestled in downtown Fullerton. There's a few parking spots behind the building, otherwise you can find street parking easily. Walking in, you're immediately reminded of your grandma's house (without the smell). With Shabby chic paintings, glass cabinets, fairy gardens, plants, and antique furniture, there is something to look at everywhere you turn. There are various cozy seating options either out front, inside or outside. People were studying, knitting or socializing. Food pricing was reasonable and portion size sharable. The buzzer sound to get your food is a bit of a jump scare, so beware. read more

Such a large and comfy space. I felt like I was sitting in a grandma's house. The decor was so cozy and there's plenty of space inside and the back with power strips sprinkled around making it a good spot to study or work. I got the salty toffee latte ($7). Yummy biscoff crumbs were a nice touch. Not really a caramel person but it wasn't too overpowering and I liked it. I also got the bulgogi Cupbap ($15). Bulgogi was a little tough and clumped together making it hard to eat. Egg was perfect though. Parking on the street or in the back alley! read more

I have tried and loved another coffee shop once more. It is one of my favorite pastimes, visiting new coffee shops that check all of the boxes; ambiance, seating, music, accessibility and of course, coffee. This one was absolutely adorable. It looks like an old converted house, dated 1913 I believe, there's a plaque on the front door when you come in. You'll find a nice front porch with some bistro seating, along with garden, inside, as well as plenty of back yard seating areas. All of which are absolutely adorable. The music was lovely, Christmas tunes but not the annoying new songs you hear five hundred times a day. There's games out back, blankets to use if you get cold, plugs for your computers and chargers, kind of nice to hang out and relax a little. They offer bakery items and some food as well. Plenty of coffee and teas with alternative milk(s). My daughter and I had the Ube latte and Americano with honey and oat milk, really good and most definitely think you should try it if you happen to be in the area and like coffee . read more

Hojicha with matcha foam was delicious and their banana nut muffin was warm and moist!

My first time here - found it on Yelp. It's a lovely house that was converted into a simple cafe with seating inside and throughout the backyard and deck. It is decorated nicely with calm music quietly playing in the background. The menu is small with a limited selection. I had the club sandwich and it was delicious (9/10). They have a larger drink menu so I ordered a minion latte. This was a banana flavored espresso drink. My food came first and I was told to keep my buzzer to be notified when my drink was ready. Well I finished my lunch and still no drink. I went back to the counter on my way out and let them know I was still waiting for my drink. Unfortunately they forgot to make it and quickly made one. The drink was good (7/10). I appreciated the apology but it would've been nice to have my drink with my lunch. read more
