    homemade mini chocolate chip cookes
    Timmy S.

    This fast-casual eatery is located in Chino Town Square (a mostly-vacant plaza at the time of this writing). The interior is small but relaxed and inviting. The owner is filled with vibrant, positive energy, dashing about, visiting each table and, in our case, giving us complimentary brownies which was a nice, welcoming gesture. Customers order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. I ordered a chicken pesto panini and an iced latte. He asked if I liked it sweet (affirmative) so he said he'd add some sugar. I also grabbed a bag of baked-in-house, mini chocolate chip cookies, which were in a basket on the counter. I figured they'd go good with our coffees (spoiler alert: they did). The panini was excellent, far better than any sandwich you'd get at any of the corporate sandwich shops. It had plenty of chicken chunks, pesto, mayo, and mozzarella. It came with a side of plain potato chips which were fine. The iced latte was fantastic, a nice blend of the slight bitterness of the coffee and added sweetness beneath the foamed top. The food was simple and the flavors satisfying. 4.5! There was something about this place - a positive vibe - that pushed it over the top for me.

    This cafe was a little hole in the wall that I didn't see in the area near the target plaza. I think the owner was there and they were really sweet and attentive! As for food, I tried the cucumber lime juice and chicken pesto panini. The cucumber limeade juice was so refreshing as it was a warm day! I would definitely order it again. As for the chicken pesto panini, it was good but could be slightly better with more pesto as I do prefer that! It comes with salad and dressing too. The owner was nice enough to give their pumpkin brownie as a free dessert treat! Definitely soft and not too sweet. I would come here again to try the other cafe drinks and food.

    The place is ran by an older Asian man, very nice person and his wife. Both very welcoming and very attentive to your request. We decided to give the Flindersteet a try before work, I ordered the breakfast Paninni and wife ordered the pesto sandwich. Everything is made in house, the bread was super soft and grilled just perfectly. The pesto sauce was very flavorful and the portions were good. We asked for hot sauce and they provided a home made habanero sauce that had the perfect spice and sweetness. The price is on the higher end, but you can taste the quality of the food. The gentlemen brought us a pastry that was freshly out of the oven, it was delicious! On the house! The setting is nice quiet and very home like. Overall I would recommend it, and I will be back to try their Salmon Bagle!

    Fat Burritos!!!!!

    If you've never been to Pompeii, like I haven't, Flinderstreet might just be the 3rd closest thing to what passes as a relic (est. 2014), standing alone amongst rows of empty spaces that used to hold life. The owner, one would assume, little guy with the best energy and attitude with running shoes I wish I had, can spot a new comer like gypsies in the night. Vege panini was perfect as is, anything else would be too much and anything less would be a crime. I wish I had gotten the chips instead of salad since.. I eat salad regularly at home but couldn't resist when given the option. Dumb choice, always go with grease not green. But the little packs of cookies were perfect with their coffee, freshly made, no drip on tap but espressos and lattes seem to be done right. Their pastries are all baked in store along with homemade bagels and FAT burritos. I love that it was on display as one of the items outside their window. Please do come and support the lost art, if you're in the area, I'd highly recommend it for a small town cafe, you'd think you're driving through Fresno and found a golden gem!

    The Flinderstreet Cafe is a cozy cafe located in Chino and was ranked #20 in Top 100 Places to Eat for 2018 ( https://blog.yelp.com/news/yelps-top-100-places-to-eat-for-2018/ ). I came here for a quick Sunday lunch and this spot was on my bookmark. [Parking]: Easy parking - the plaza was fairly dead with only few other active businesses like this cafe and Planet Fitness. [Ordering]: This is walk-in only cafe - customers order at the cashier counter and the staff will bring food to your table. [Menu]: The signature item here is Chicken Pesto under paninis. Not sure why Yelp isn't highlighting this item, but they also sell some really good New Zealand Meat Pies (particular the chicken curry flavor). Other items include grinders, burritos, pastas, salads, bagels, desserts, and speciality drinks. All grinders, paninis, and burritos come with a side of chips, salad, or can be upgraded to a pasta salad or soup (extra $2.99 for small size). *** Chicken Pesto $13.99 + upgraded to a small soup (clam chowder - extra $2.99): The staff recommended clam chowder when I asked about their sides so I just went with it. Solid panini with good overall flavor profile. Clam chowder had mostly potato, but it tasted quite good. New Zealand Meat Pie (chicken curry flavor - $10.99): Took awhile to come out. The pie had a smiley face on it. Flaky crust with a slight spicy kick - great curry + chunky chicken pieces. This was a nice surprise order and also came with chips. *** The owner actually visited each table and gave a free cookie! Overall I highly recommend getting New Zealand Meat Pie and chicken pesto was above-average. A solid 4.5-star on food, but bump up to 5-star on friendly service.

    I love their pot pies and steak sandwiches here. I have been ordering here since I moved here in 2016 and I have been trying to write this review but keep putting it aside. It's nothing fancy here just sandwiches, soups and salads... mostly lunch stuff. It's not out of this world but I say it's still comforting food and I enjoy it.

    Casual cafe with indoor/outdoor seating. Mouth watering homemade bread and pastries. Delicious brunch and lunch offerings. Latte was sumptuous. Owner Tony was super friendly and provided great service.

    I frequently pass by this cafe every time I workout @ planet fitness & always wanted to try it out... Today was the day I decided to mosey on over & happy I finally did! The atmosphere was very chill & cutesy! I absolutely loved all the decor & vibes altogether. The service here was amazing--very courteous & welcoming! When I ordered my items to-go, it was brought out to me, which was such a nice gesture ^~^ Now the Turkey Pesto Panini was delicious; it was fresh off the press & had a nice cheese pull! :D I tried the Hibiscus Red Drink and it was super refreshing! In terms of the flavor, it was sweetened just right (not too sweet, not too bitter) and had a mild tartness. I would definitely get this again on a hot day. I will definitely be back again & again!!! Excited to try everything else they have to offer :-) If you want to support a local business, come by to The Flinderstreet Cafe it is SO worth it!

    The breakfast burrito & caramel macchiato were both a 10/10 ! So delicious the burrito had fresh ingredients and the salsa made it even better. Coffee was perfect to how I requested(more on the sweeter side). Perfectly sweet. I was also given some free cookies. Definitely recommend!

    I've visited twice so far. Service has been friendly and pretty fast. The cafe was clean and plenty of seating available. I ordered the turkey pesto panini (11.99) and the passionfruit Arnold Palmer (regular 4.49). The bread was fresh, crispy and warm and the overall taste of the panini was nice. I enjoyed the panini and drink and would definitely come back. During my last visit the owner added a free sample of two small chocolate chip cookies and they were delicious.

    The service there is great, they were very friendly. It's a nice place to sit down and get some work done. The food was pretty good, I really enjoyed the pesto sandwich.

    $16.50 for just a sandwich and half a bag of chips. No fries or drink. Sandwich was small and the sausage was impossible to bite through.

    All food is overpriced and paninis are so tiny and not good. I got an iced mocha and even that was not made right.

    This is a long overdue review. I usually think it's not worth it to get latte's or matcha's since I…read morecan make them at home but The Greenhouse matcha is worth the hype. I usually always get the flan creme brûlée matcha or latte and my wife gets the sea salt caramel hojicha. We can never try other drinks because our original drink is always so good and we've been here at least 15 times. Come and try this place, you won't regret it. Customer service is always fantastic as well and environment is great. Sometimes there's issues with parking but you'll find a spot and it's worth it.

    5/29/26 It's a Vanilla Bean Dream type of day (matcha) TGIF Everyone…read more Such an adorable little Matcha shop with beautiful aesthetics and just a cool vibe. Only one little round table indoors with some plants for sale and a little bit of merch like candles, whisk for your Matcha, stickers, etc.. There are 3 sets of tables/chairs outdoors to enjoy your treats the person that I spoke to, Lily is a very sweet and kind young lady who answered all my questions I was able to make the decision to finally buy a whisk for my Matcha and she gave me pointers on how to use it. The traditional whisk is made with bamboo, but it's not well utilized commercially because it tends to break off. I chose that one considering I'm only making the Matcha for myself. They use a whisk made with resin in the shop. My Vanilla Bean Dream was so delicious! I opted for Matcha versus coffee as the base, rich, deep and earthy not too sweet. It was the perfect drink for today. Street only parking available from what I gathered. I wish this shop was closer to me then I would frequent it at least once or twice a week. Loved this visit so much.
