Love this place. Great coffee and I always have time to peruse on my laptop. On the weekends in the evening there is live music. I am always attended very well by the staff. The owner is a very nice person- Bob. read more

Great inviting vibe, from the mismatched old wooden furniture to the vintage lighting, to the setup for open mic night. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered an ice honeybee latte from the special menu with whole milk. Very refreshing and just the right level of sweetness. They have pastries from Homeboy Bakery. They looked fantastic but I wasn't hungry, having just eaten recently. Next time! We sat at the table for two at the front window which had perfect natural lighting to read. Fun people watching there too. read more

This is a cozy, old-school coffee shop. The interior is dark and relaxing, with sunlight streaming in through the windows and spotlighting the owl figures on the windowsill. There are a good number of indoor tables and seats, as well as some outdoor seating. The samoa latte (if I recall the name correctly) was delicious. It was a nice sweet treat with a good level of chocolate flavor to tongue. The barista who helped us was super friendly! We felt very welcomed from beginning to end. It is also amazing that this spot apparently hosts open mic events! We were told that they love supporting the local community and music scene that way. We're looking forward to returning for that as well. read more

The Night Owl - Samoa latte(?) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

This coffee shop is such a vibe! I love it. It's got a naturally dark and spooky ambiance. It's still very trendy. The coffee drinks are fun. They have such unique coffee flavors! The banana bread latte tastes EXACTLY like banana bread. It's wild to be honest!! If you love banana bread, this is it! Order this one! You will love it. I also tried the iced pumpkin spice latte. It was very strong on the coffee flavor, and not nearly enough pumpkin or spice. lol I wanted more sugar and flavor in this drink. They also have some baked good. I haven't been able to try then out just yet. I want to though! They look really good. For some reason, I come here not hungry lol Usually just looking for some coffee haha Service is always great. The cashier/ barista was very friendly and down to earth. Love that! read more

EXCEPTIONAL! I just started teaching at FCC and enjoy learning about the community I'm in so I asked one of my students who shared they love coffee what his go to place was and he sent me here! This recommendation is definitely earning him an "A" ;) (jk, jk). I've stopped by twice and have not been disappointed. The Night Owl is small but this doesn't take away from how inviting it is, in fact I think it's inviting in how cozy it seems. I had the maple iced coffee on one visit and the banana nut latte on another. Oh, I also treated myself to one of their chocolate chip cookies (not warmed up) and it took me back to the cookies I used to buy in high school from the cafeteria! So damn good! And the service! The same person has taken my order both times and he is sooo friendly, so personable. I haven't worked through my awkwardness yet so it's on me that I didn't get his name, I will on another visit. I like my drink with some flavor but not sugary and both time that I've asked for "light syrup" he's said "our espresso is so great I try to balance that out" and you know what, he is a master at his craft! I'm looking forward to many more visits for the rest of the semester! read more

I Waited over 30 minutes for this, and it was a complete waste of time and money. The "green tea latte" tasted like watered-down milk with a green tea bag! Absolutely no matcha flavor, and the color was completely off. I don't understand how they're selling this as a matcha latte when there's clearly no matcha in it. Very disappointing! Definitely would not recommend this place! read more

The Night Owl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

Looking for a late night coffee shop vibe in DTF then night owl is it. They have been around for several years and I have always passed by in my younger club days but never stopped in. Well your girl doesn't go to dtf to party much anymore but I will for coffee! This place pleasantly surprised me. I ordered a Spanish latte and it was absolutely delicious. The pastries looked good but it was 9pm right after dinner so I didn't get to dabble in the pastries. Otherwise, there was a great band playing out back which made the coffee pick me up even more enjoyable. I would love to come back to try other offerings and just vibe on a Saturday night. read more

Came to The Night Owl for a show and had a great time! It's a small, cozy venue with a laid-back vibe--perfect for a relaxing Sunday evening of live music. Seating is very limited, so I recommend bringing your own chair to stay comfy. Fun spot for music lovers read more

The Night Owl - Live music to end the weekend nicely - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

This is a great spot for a lot more than just coffee! They have live music, karaoke and open Mic night; check in with them for the full schedule. We've been many times, but on our last visit, it was a Friday night and they had a live band, which was amazing! Awesome crowd and nice weather for the patio. I recommend the great pastries, we tried a cherry danish and a muffin, and both were so good! Their lattes are delicious. The decor inside is quaint and inviting , very cozy. They offer indoor and outdoor patio seating so you can choose what you prefer. Service is always top notch here. read more

Great place to come and have a good cup of tea/coffee and read a book or listen to some live music which they happen to have tonight. The baristas are always kind and prep my drink perfectly to my liking. They have some awesome nights for open mic as well. It's hard to find places like this, where the neighborhood vibes are good and you can feel creativity in the air. Come support the local coffee shop and the arts! I just wish they stayed open later on the weekends... read more

Came here for a pick me up on 4th of July. The person helping me was very patient and sweet as I kept asking about the milk calories. I got the banana latte and my bf got a mocha. I did like mine it was very strong and it did the job, I asked for it half sweetened. The place was so cute they have live music and book clubs. Very cute place. read more

We stopped in Night Owl for the first time for some of their unique latte flavors. I tried the spiced maple latte and , while it was good, I wish the flavoring was stronger. Staff were extremely friendly! I was greeted within seconds of walking in the door and had my drink in hand a few minutes later. The owl theming is very fun, with lots of hand drawn owls and kitschy owly tchotchkes. I saw that they have a small back area for outdoor seating (with dogs!) available. read more

Great coffee venue near Cal State Fullerton and other local schools. We came here for a coffee run and stayed to enjoy the music. It seems like a great spot for students to study, as there were many in groups and also singles with their laptops out and coffees at hand. They have live music on occasions and post about the upcoming shows regularly. We will be back to enjoy the coffee and listen to some local bands play. read more

The service was the best part about my visit here. The staff was so lovely and accommodating, and overall really helpful in working through the menu. The Spanish latte was just okay but not particularly tasty and a bit forgettable. The coffee cake was really nice though! The space is more niche decorated and maybe just not for me, but they do have a lot of community-building events that I may check out. The outdoor space is nice and not too loud. read more

10/10 service, great place place to study, kinda crazy prices I went here about a week ago with a friend who's a regular who loves this place. I got one of her favorites (sex by the peach lol) which was honestly pretty sweet, even for a tea/lemonade drink. Wasn't a huge fan, felt a bit ordinary for the price. But today my friend and I wanted to get some writing done and this is her favorite coffee shop in the area to work. I decided to get the iced regular size Caramel Apple Chai because I was looking for something without coffee with cinnamon. I'm allergic to diary so I got soy milk as an alternative which was an extra 65 cents (very reasonably priced compared to other cafes). Without tip, my total came to $9.03. If I didn't have a milk alternative, my total would've been $8.38. I think the barista noticed my slightly shocked expression at my $9+ drink and apologizing explained that it was because of the tariffs which made a bit more sense. I was REALLY hoping the drink was amazing (because for almost $10 I hope it's the best latte ever lol) and this drink did not disappoint! I was a little worried about my soy milk alternative, but this drink was kinda perfect. It had a good mix of apple and caramel flavors. It tasted like fall! Not too sweet, not too much ice. I don't know if I can normally justify a $10 drink, but this one might be it. The customer service was also excellent. My friend and I worked at one of the tables for a few hours and the barista at the front (Mal) knew multiple returning customers by name and chatted with all of them. It was extremely windy and the door kept flying open, but Mal handled it very well. The customer service here was incredibly personal and made it a great environment to work, write, and study. There was also outlets to use where I could plug in my laptop. Will definitely be returning with my friend. read more

My favorite coffee shop in Fullerton, because of their Banana Bread Latte and the awesome decor and fantastic customer service. Joe the owner is so awesome and nice, the other guy who was there oh man his name is forgive me if I am wrong Mas, Mo, oh my gosh so sorry I'm probably butchering his name, but he was very nice. I really wanted a coffee before picking up baby girl from school and her two friends. I haven't been here in a while and so I decided to get a treat for myself before school gets out. I told him I needed to take a picture so not to shake it so I get a good shot. Lol he said the pressure was on but I said no, you always make it good came out Perfect I wish I got a large, but today I got a medium. Delicious banana bread latte you'll have to try it. I guess they have music nights which I still need to come and check out one day. The atmosphere is beautiful they have a lot of owls everywhere. I'm definitely a night owl so this coffee shop fits me perfectly. :) Thank you always for your amazing service and incredible banana red latte. Again, so sorry if I forgot your name thank you so much for your kindness lol. It was quite busy today a lot of college students today doing their schoolwork and drinking their amazing coffee. Parking lot is behind the shop, but I parked on the street so I can leave as quick as possible. Lol Had to edit my voice text hates me LOL Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

This is such a cute and cozy café with live music in the back. Came here not expecting much but a typical coffee shop but was surprisingly impressed with this cafe. They are open a bit later it seems and it wasn't too crowded on a Thursday night. They have a huge selection of coffees, tea, lattes and smoothies. I saw that they have baked goodies as well. Plenty of tables and the outside patio has live band playing when I was there. The music does get a little loud but it's okay too. So glad we stumbled upon such a nice cafe. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend. There's parking in the back and garage of this location. read more

The staff were kind and helpful. I found the drink to be decent; nothing particularly memorable but also not bad. I ordered a tea lemonade mixed drink. They have a nice atmosphere and a cute aesthetic. They also do a lot for the community like live music and other events so that's nice! Overall a decent spot read more

We visited The Night Owl in support of a friend, LUCIANO, who was performing at the Acoustic Singer/Songwriters sponsored that evening. From the front entrance on Harbor Boulevard in old town Fullerton, The Night Owl greets it's guests with wood-paneled wals cleverly and brightly coiffed with artwork by local artisans. Stroll thru the median hallway of the venue and you'll wind up at the cozy performance area that serves as a fire-fit flamed "backyard patio." What a welcoming, cozy but eminently supportive way to surround our local performing artists with the support they richly deserve! As we were coming from dinner and stayed for only an hour, my bride and I confined our order to drinks only- A coffee for the prettiest lady there and a Modelo for Yours Truly. The Night Owl proudly serves its guests an array of pastries baked by Homeboy Bakeries, so you can choose from buttery croissants, decadent cinnamon rolls and classic coffee cake among others. Pro Tip- Break up your "Netflix and chill" routine, come out and support the talented, aspiring artists and dreamers who perform at various lice events hosted at The Night Owl!!! The restrooms were suitably clean + stocked. read more

Came here for the first time today. Had the banana bread latte with oat milk. It was surprisingly tasty and the banana wasn't too overpowering. Inside the coffee shop is cute and cozy. We were there for a while and then they had live music which was nice. I thought they only played music during the week so it was a nice surprise. I'd come back here once again. read more

Been going to school for quite a while here and I did not know about a coffee shop that was open that late. I went on a Thursday night come to find out it's an open mic jazz night so the vibe is already. They have an outside patio for the music but inside is mainly just coffee, oh also they serve alcohol for open mic night. The coffee was alright wasn't anything special, just syrups. I had gotten an iced BBL (banana bread latte): the flavor was there but the coffee wasn't. This place mainly for the music and friendly vibe!! read more

Cute coffee shop in downtown Fullerton, with a great looking facade and chill vibe. The interior is cute, cozy, lots of seating and they were playing great jazz music when I stopped by. Not as crowded as other places in the area, fine by me, with a better selection of pastry. The chocolate croissants and the danish-es were plentiful and looked fresh and tasty so we didn't have to think much! The latte was decent, not outstanding, but it no complaints. Decent service, cute decor and nice atmosphere. A solid choice! read more

Great coffee, Live music, beer and wine. I would give them an extra star just for serving Franziskaner wheat beer, if they didn't already deserve it. Really like the dark ambiance inside. Know that the patio has lots of seating, but inside seating is limited. The free wifi is fast and the snacks are fresh. The staff come with a smile and can make all the normal coffees. never had a bad interaction of experience. Parking is easy during the day and there are options at night if you show up for the music. read more

After I dropped off my car we stumbled upon this little coffee shop. We showed up initially thinking this had breakfast, but it was actually just a small coffee shop with pastries. Honestly did not disappoint! The service was great! I can't remember his name, however he had soo many suggestions for us to try. He had local restaurants for us Togo too if we were feeling hungry afterwards. He was honestly by far the best host/waiter we've encountered honestly EVER! The prices aren't bad at all! They're about the same if lot less than Starbucks, and BETTER! To top it off they have pretty cool stuff for the evening , they had open mic night on select days, which I thought was pretty cool. Honestly if you're around Fullerton give them a try! read more

The Night Owl - Chocolate bear claw, lavender early grey tea. Hot mocha and coffee cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

Apparently, every asshole owner of the venue thinks they can run an Open Mic night. But there's a lot of problems with this one. It's outdoors on the patio which is fine, except the seating is uncomfortable. The crowd seems very supportive, but then half the crowd is from the neighboring place Jaxson's. The real issue lies with the owner himself and the rules he sets up. It's a 7 o'clock show with a 6 o'clock sign up. Today the sign ups were already 20 deep before 6 PM. So much for 'the rules'. And then he want me to buy a beer or something before I even sign up. Like most people who've already signed up before the sign-up time, I'm not hanging around until my play time. I'm coming back. Do you want me to buy something from you over an hour before the evening starts much less before I get on? Really? Pointing this out, falls on deaf ears. He couldn't care less. Now the greedy Pay For Play attitude (which no talent should be forced into) I can maybe look past because I want to be in a patron of the establishment. I was last week! But this bullshit of making you buy the drink an hour before the show starts or not signing up until after that point (which means you won't be on until 10 PM by the way) is fucking ludicrous. And then the owner says my favorite phrase from venues that do everything wrong. "That's all we always do it". Anybody who's done anything knows that when someone says that they've given up trying to do it right. They just do it their way. Any professional has only heard assholes say that phrase. It's a shame too. The audience seems nice and the host is as well. But the owner is a raging asshole that won't get another penny of mine. And fuck him for his attitude about talent. By the way, I have the credentials for this. I was top entertainer and emcee for Bill Medley's The Hop, where I ran the greatest Talent Show in Southern California for a decade. Ask anyone who has seen it or been in it. Also at Disneyland, national radio, and all kinds of places the owner of this place will never ever be. read more

My daughter and I stopped in yesterday because she had raved about the banana bread latte. We decided to have pastries too. We each had the banana bread latte and shared 2 pastries. At the first sip, let me tell you I was amazed lol. I bake banana bread often and I'm not sure how they make it taste EXACTLY like it. I didn't catch the gentleman's name who helped us but I'm pretty sure we're friends now lol. Service was amazing and everything we had was delicious!

I didn't feel welcomed at the Night Owl or respected. I was disappointed when I saw a sign that read you need to buy something every 2 hours. I bought a $6.00 cake which wasn't worth the price. I felt that I was paying rent to the Night Owl to justify my studying and I didn't even enjoy being there. What was also disappointing there was no thank you for buying the cake or when I left. I felt as a person who is an accountant that the Night Owl cares more about money then me as a customer. I won't be back! read more

Both of my kids have been obsessed with owls lately, so decided to check out this place. It has more of an adult vibe, given it serves beer & wine, and has live jazz music at night, but my kids seemed to like it. Drinks I tried have been good so far. Elvis Latte was excellent. Kind of hard to go wrong with a drink that has peanut butter, banana, and honey. Wish they would also add some bacon fat to put it over the top. Chai Chai was excellent as well. It's chai tea with white chocolate and cinnamon. It had a smooth, rich flavor. Really love the laid back vibe, and good service. Only reason I didn't give five stars is because the price is kind of high, even for current times. Most of the specialty drinks seemed to be about $6.50 to $7.00. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing price on the menu. I had to look at my receipt after my purchase to find out the price. read more

There is really nothing like this gem of a place. Peaceful during the day, music outdoors on the patio most every night. Well-made coffee drinks, teas, and pastries. Such a friendly community of staff, musicians, and patrons. Tuesday night open mic, Thursday jazz, Friday blues, every other night a delightful surprise! You'll find me there; they can't get rid of me. So grateful am I to live nearby. Also, they have a limited selection of beer, seltzers, and wine. Easy parking in lots immediately behind and across the street and a structure a half block away. read more

Came here after a coworker recommended their good drinks and fun environment. It's located in down town Fullerton. When I entered I was welcomed by the owner who was quick to help and offer some recommendations. I told him it was my first time, and when it came time to pay he charged me less than it should've been. So unexpected and kind. Thank you! I ordered the iced pancake latte with soy milk, and a chocolate almond bear claw. The espresso is strong and the pastries are fresh from a local bakery. There wasn't much "pancake" flavor in the latte but it was still delicious and perfect for me. read more
