50 Best Cafes near Fountain Valley

“Coffee is really good! The turkish bagel (Simit) is THE best in California!!! We got a turkish breakfast plate, shakshuka, and the cheese omelette and everything was amazing. Great service and the owner is super cute :)
They also have amazing eclairs - a must try!“

“For 20 years, after we have a family get together. Its been a tradition that we all have breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe before we all part ways. It’s always clean, the food is always delicious and the service has always been wonderful. It is truly a special establishment!“

“The food here during the Happy Hour was way better than I expected! Gourmet quality ...It's the best Vietnamese food I ever had! Service was good and pretty quick. Reasonable too. A bit noisy with lots of people but the exceptional delicious food outweighs the noise.
Restroom could be improved with real flooring instead of drab concrete that has rust colored areas in the high traffic zone .“

“IN CALIFORNIA, SOMETHING I COME HERE.“

“7 Leaves is my go-to for milk tea. This place is beautiful when you walk in, absolutely love the theme.

They have a huge variety of flavors for macarons and milk tea, plus lots of other drinks are served too. My favorite is the Taro milk tea.
The drinks and macarons are very flavorful. A lot of other milk tea I have from different places tastes more watery than the tea at 7 Leaves, they do an excellent job with their drinks.

However the macarons are a little bit out of the expected price range, but still worth trying out!

The service is very nice and hardworking, keeping the place clean, and most importantly, having customers leave satisfied!“

“This is one of my go to spots to study when I wanna do work at a cafe. It’s pretty convenient to sit at where you can get a drink and some food.

It’s decently busy so there’s enough noise to keep my brain occupied when working and there’s usually at least a table or two open when it’s busy out. Some spots have outlets too and there’s WiFi to use.

Drinks are like every other 7 leaves, but you can have it either in a Togo or here cup. I usually get the parmesan fries if I want a snack or the ham & cheese croissant.

Very aesthetic and pretty inside. Also, I like the playlist they have in there.“

“Team members are chill and the tea slaps. What more can you ask for?“

“Great food, great waitstaff, and great atmosphere. The patio is such a nice environment to dine with large groups on a nice summer day. The sense of community is great, and many of the other guests I chatted with travel over an hour just to eat here. It's just that good of a place.

They have a band which plays karaoke on weekends. The music and musicians are great, and so many guests are eager to sing! The only thing I could ask for would be for the volume of speakers to be turned down slightly. For those who enjoy a calmer dining experience, the tables inside are a pleasure.“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Great breakfast choices, all home cooked. Quality food with Quality service. 5 min from Disneyland. Very affordable. Carl from Colorado“

“I love this place! Discovered it last year while vacationing in Newport. They have the yummiest freshest farm fresh food. Last night We had the BBQ bacon cheeseburger, curry chicken sandwich and Drunken noodles. Probably the best burger I have ever had! The curry sandwich was to die for and the noodles were very spicy but delicious!
We will definitely return.
The service is great!“

“Very delicious and very pleasing presentation to the eye! Definitely would recommend, the wait was a little long but it’s very understandable!! Very satisfied with our choice of coming here for breakfast, we’ll definitely be back!“

“I love the Bingsoo here, the portion for the price is great. The service is also great! The owner is very attentive.
A regular size is good for two people. There's plenty of tables, although they're shared with the other restaurant in the dining area. It's located inside the grocery store.“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“The chef puts out unique and delicious pizzas, pastas, daily specials and desserts. Very unique location too!“

“One particularly hot night my mom and I searched, “Best Gelato near me” and the top result was Mangiamo! After eating the gelato 3 times in a row, we can definitely say that title is well earned! The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too! The server is also incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. Overall, this place is such a phenomenal experience and we would highly recommend it for vacationers and gelato connoisseurs alike!“

“Stopped in this cafe on a whim today and was so happy I did. I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection. The sourdough was amazingly good, crisp and chewy, and the eggs were fluffy. The staff was so friendly and nice and the pricing was very reasonable. Wished I took photos but it was too good and I ate it so fast! Highly recommend this spot.“

“This is one of my favorite local spots. I go there a few times a week, and they always deliver great food and friendly service.

The chorizo and avocado breakfast burrito is my favorite—it’s flavorful and really well-made. They’re also pretty quick, which is great when you’re short on time.

I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re in the area.“

“These donuts are on the way to El Paso, Texas… Great service this morning!“

“I would sell all my designer bags for their chicken gravy sandwich. My partner had the bacon burrito and it left him without words (he’s an amazing chef). I absolutely love this place, the staff is so kind. Great atmosphere- hidden gem. Would come back everyday if I can.“

“άψογο μαγαζί και άψογη εξυπηρέτηση“

“The banana matcha latte had a rich, deep flavor and wasn’t overly sweet. I really liked that! I also liked that it didn’t have too much ice.
The music and overall vibe were great, but it was a bit too cold inside, even with my jacket on.
Still, I’d love to come back for coffee next time. The staff were kind too. Thank you! :)“

“the best place for breakfast 😋“

“I’ve been to this location several times, and they consistently deliver. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting and with the newly remodeled bar, it’s the perfect spot to hang out and sip on something good.

Their breakfast selection is solid. I always go for the avocado toast, it’s a favorite of mine, especially because they bake their own bread. It’s so fresh and flavorful! This time, I also tried the seasonal banana matcha latte. It was a bit on the sweet side for me, but still enjoyable.

My boyfriend ordered the buttermilk biscuit & egg sandwich and a vanilla latte both were a hit. They also have an impressive coffee selection and several locations to choose from, which is a bonus. The staff is always friendly and efficient, making the experience even better.

We love coming here, but a quick pro tip: try to avoid Sundays if you’re looking for a peaceful coffee moment. They share a door with the church next door, and once that door opens, brace yourself for a flood of people. Still love this place but not when I’m sipping in a sea of chaos. Lol.“

“I should have put this review up earlier, and it’s just a schedule thing. My husband and I have various things that we do in Orange County at least once a month . The food is always very good and the service by Danielle , is bar none. She is a real gem .“

“Absolutely! Here's the updated version with Stopped by Hopper & Burr and tried the Cavendish — a chilled banana milk espresso made from scratch. So smooth, naturally sweet, and perfectly balanced. The almond milk ricotta toast with seasonal jam and fresh fruit was creamy, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. Staff was super nice, and the latte art was fire. Definitely coming back!“

“Excellent all around! I’m not always a fan of the order first and sit down system, but they move quickly here and quality is still high. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Cappuccino and Cortado were both on point. Food was carefully crafted and very tasty. And service was great! Asked for a few things from the folks bringing out the food and they were quick to come back and provide it. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back to this place!“

“I love this place! Huge portions of fresh made healthy foods & treats! They even have a healthy doggie menu! The 80’s music rocks! Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, ect. Great coffee drinks right down to the movie themed cup warmers. Staff is actually DESERVING of tips!!! Great experience EVERY time I visit Huntington Beach!“

“O.B is the only coffee shop in OC who HAS NOT BURNT my espresso!! The iced latte is delicious simply with organic milk and a little maple. NO pretentious hipster energy here unlike many other shops around town. For the people who love nerding out on coffee, you'll love this place“

“Try their Sandwhich. It is sooo delicious. We enjoyed the food. Very clean and it is very cozy. Loved the ambiance. And the owner is very friendly. I will recommend this place to everyone that want to enjoy getting together with close friends. Mom and daughter bonding will be a fun place to go. Hope to go back again soon.“

“Definitely a good idea to make reservations. Staff was friendly everyone helps everyone. The matcha latte was OK, needed like a Lil more sweet, Definitely earthy. The Cinnamon latte also ok, lil strong not as sweet. The tiny Cinnamon roll was good but a Lil dry on the outside. The waffle was softer than a crispy Belgian waffle, still tasted good and the Berries were so good and fresh not mushy. And the creme on top super good. The breakfast sandwich was large so I split it. That was really good and we took home a take and bake Cinnamon roll which we are super excited about patio is dog friendly no dog menu but they should invest in one, maybe dog friendly pancakes and waffles with cream and Berries, dogs love that! We'll definitely be back to try more items“

“The earl gray lavender ice tea was the best along with the melt in your mouth croissant 💕💕“

“One of the best coffee shops in SoCal. The service is great, the drinks are fantastic, and the food is great too“

“The food is good, huge Portion’s . Many different food options to choose from. Cool atmosphere. Very artsy ! It was worth the day trip.“

“Perfect place for lunch sandwiches and burritos. All Fresh Dailey Patio dining Great.“

“This little place is so cute. I loved the little market side area. I got some sunglasses with a free case. I enjoyed stopping by here in the mornings while on our vacation. It was right outside of The Westin. The coffee was perfect. The staff were kind. I enjoyed banana nut muffins in the mornings & my teen tried a cake pop. I like the outdoor sitting area as well. I wish they had some flavored creamer at the coffee bar area. Otherwise, 10/10.“

“Stopped in for a Turkey cranberry panini and salad. So good! They were very kind, accommodating to our needs, and helpful.
The gelato was okay… not quite the creamy texture that I hoped (more of an icy texture), but it wasn’t terrible.“

“coffee is amazing . the veggies and breakfast are very good“

“Amazing breakfast!! We had an omelette and aeal with pancakes and both were fantastic!! They served a hot sauce from Red Beards that complemented the omelette perfectly and bought some online afterwards!! When we're back in Huntington Beach, we'll definitely make another stop at the Sugar Shack!“

“Great location, nearby Disney. Good drink là and friendly service. Definitely recommended.“

“I can't speak for the food as I was only looking for lemons wedges to help with my moms heartburn but I want to acknowledge the awesome customer service of Raya. She went above and beyond to help us with our situation. Hopefully we won't be dealing with heartburn next time and will be able to taste something from the menu. It all looked delicious. Thank you again Raya!!“

“By far the best coffee in Huntington Beach and maybe best cafe in Orange County. So friendly and the food it delicious.“

“Amazingly wholesome food. I came across this local business and it was so well prepared, you could taste the love and care that goes into their meals. I spoke with the owner as I was waiting for my food and you can tell that he really cares about his customers and preparing quality food. They cater too! If you are staying at the Hilton, you must try out this place!“

“First time visit! We will be back! Fabulous dig-friendly patio! Adorable and vintage indoor seating. Vast menu! Quality food! Great service!“

“The iced chai, churro latte (hot or cold) and their bagels are to die for. I live out of state but cannot wait to go back when I’m in So Cal! Employees are so nice too - seems as though they are very happy working there:)“

“Cassel Earth feels like a hole in the wall coffee shop. Customers service was excellent, baristas were so warm, welcoming, and kind. Most importantly, the coffee was delicious. I tried one of their “Regulars’” lattes- “Michael’s”. Espresso was excellent quality and the pistachio/vanilla flavor was a yummy match. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Great Atmosphere & Elegant Vibe
I’m really impressed with the atmosphere and environment of this place. The floral arrangements and bright walls create a lively feel, while the velvet green cushions on the chairs add a touch of sophistication and a vintage vibe. The green tile backdrop behind the ordering kiosk pairs perfectly with the decor.

The staff is attentive, and the menu offers a great range of options. Food came out quickly—under five minutes. They also have a well-stocked coffee bar, with matcha options, smoothies, and lemonade. I’ve heard the green verde latte is amazing, though I didn’t try it myself.

The dining area is unique—cast-iron fixtures and marble tabletops give it an elegant touch, making this place a great spot for a casual brunch with an upscale feel.“

“I chose this experience to celebrate my birthday, and it didn't disappoint. Zack, my waiter, revived me very kindly, and explained to me the whole menu. He understood my personal taste to craft me a cocktail and then I just got immerse in the flavors and the ambience. Thank you very much for the hospitality, I had a great Birthday celebration ???“
