50 Best Cafes near Fountain Valley

“What a wonderful brunch. We shared the breakfast platter and it was plenty for three people! Well we did have a couple of extras like a spinach boreck and an extra Simit!
Not only is the food wonderful, but the service and the beautiful personalities of the owner and her son and everybody working there was delightful.
Teşekkür ederim! !!
We'll be back.

“Round two and still obsessed! 🍜✨ We came back to NEP Cafe specifically for their incredible Vietnamese fusion food—they nail that modern twist every single time. The staff is total pro-status, the decor is major eye candy, and it's easily our favorite spot to vibe with family and friends. 10/10 will be back again!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Artisan has improved after I provided feedback to their cafe about the lack of their baristas acknowledging customers when we walk into the cafe. So that's a plus.

I find myself here from time to time when I need to work remotely for a few hours. The wifi is fast - capped at two hours - but I carry a hotspot as well when I need a more secure connection.

I usually get their House Coffee - easy sweet - but their Japanese Matcha and Soy drink is also delicious as well. If you want something more tea-ish - their Thai Tea with an added shot of espresso gives a nice kick too.

I love their Quiches - but their Chicken Pot Pie is tasty too. They have pastries and macarons as well. Their Guava Cheese Danish is hilariously small. Pretty much bite-sized.

Pizza options are awesome too - my favorite has been the Truffle Mushroom Sausage pizza. Six generous slices - I eat 2-3 slices for lunch, and save the rest for dinner.

Tons of seating throughout the cafe, as well as at their outdoor patio.

Tons of parking - the plaza itself has some new additions - but there's never any issue finding parking if there aren't any spots upfront.

New hours - cafe closes at 6pm, which I thought was only due to schools/colleges being on winter break, but the barista confirmed that it's until further notice.

Only downside is if you stick around until closing - when they clean their grill - that smoky smell latches onto your clothes.“

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

“IN CALIFORNIA, SOMETHING I COME HERE.“

“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.“

“Cute lil spot with outdoor seating. Food looked great that was rolling out while we waited in queue to our order and get a table. Eggs, omelettes, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, sides, and pancakes. Has a lunch menu too if that's your thing but breakfast goes till 2pm. Highly recommend a visit. We'll be going back to say hi to Billy and try more items off the menu.“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Perfect ristretto - and good advice on where to find real espresso bars ☝️😎🌋“

“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 !“

“I was very impressed with the food here. The quality is top notch and the creativity of flavor combinations were wonderful. My husband and I split the braised peach salad and the Vietnamese chicken sandwich. I highly recommend both. The staff was friendly and you could tell they really cared about the quality of food they prepared. Even though it was served in a to go container the presentation was still beautiful.“

“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!“

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

“Honestly AMAZING! I was skeptical at first because it was in an office space but MAN that breakfast burrito was soooooo good! Exactly what I wanted. Light, good amount of meat and cheese and not greasy. I got a Vietnamese coffee to go with it and it was also delicious! I will be coming back :)“

“Loved their onion soup and their apple tart Ala mode“

“First time here and Everything was great food was great and Rob our waiter was amazing. Will be back for sure.“

“Hands down BEST donuts ever! Great family story, best ingredients, homemade syrups, homemade glazes, made fresh to order. We will be back when visiting again from Pennsylvania!“

“This was my first visit here, it came highly recommended. I was warmly welcomed, the barista explained my mocha/syrup/foam/milk options, and my order was ready quickly. The coffee was delicious and the café is such a vibe! I'll definitely be back.“

“Rarely leave reviews but visiting from NYC and very impressed w/ the quality. I’m pretty picky w/ my coffee and this is a great choice in the area. They even use coffee ice cubes to keep the drinks from diluting… Highly recommend“

“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:)“

“My new favorite cafe!! The sitting and ambiance is absolutely stunning, relaxing, and chill. Lots of natural light and open seating with really comfy couches and benches. The coffee is BOMB. Super delicious- I reccomend the Spanish Latte, its my favorite. The baristas and staff are super polite and patient, and are very kind as well. I loveeee Cassel Earth❤️❤️“

“I recently stopped by Chailo Coffee Club and it did not disappoint. The drinks are seriously good—everything tastes fresh and well-crafted. The sisters who run the place are incredibly friendly and welcoming…. “ You know who you are”, which makes the whole experience even better. The vibe is super chic and stylish, perfect for grabbing coffee and hanging out. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re in Costa Mesa and want a great cup of coffee.“

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

“the best place for breakfast 😋“

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

“This is my favorite coffee shop in the area, hands down. I work remotely and stop by multiple times a week to get out of the house. They have super fun seasonal drinks, amazing flavored cold foam, and strong high quality coffee. Plus no upcharges for alternative milks. Pastries are delicious and so are their breakfast burritos.

Beyond the fantastic drinks and food, the staff is incredibly nice and part of the reason I keep coming back. Hospitality makes a huge difference, and they're doing it right. Absolutely no notes!“

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

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

“amazing food all the time.“

“I have been to Juliettes at least once every week! This is genuinely the best brunch spot in Newport, and in OC. The staff and service are both very nice and sweet, and the food always hits the spot. I love combining their eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes together (which is my order most of the time), but I decided to try out their breakfast burrito and wow. it was delicious! definitely recommend going to this spot“

“Wow. You need to grab a breakfast burrito and a banana cream cold foam iced latte (which they rotate seasonal coffees every few months). Also, a fantastic grab and go cold section to take a quick snack down to the beach. Sundays, Ian whips out the bbq and grills up some incredible smash burgers 10/10. **coming soon, taco Tuesdays. Surfer vibes, bring the fam, come chillax.“

“The spot is super cute and the gal who made my tea was so friendly and helpful. Quick too I swear she made my drink in like a minute. I got the matcha blueberry latte slightly less sweet with oat milk instead of dairy and with boba. It's really good matcha and the blueberry is a sweet pairing for it. 🫐 There was plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. They have some cute t-shirts and bags and claw machines which is fun and a sweet little photo op but this looks like a nice place to hang out for a bit with your matcha and get some work done. I will definitely be back.“

“The owner, Kev is absolutely accomodating! Not to mention every time I've gotten my lunch, the food is so tasty and fresh! They are truly a lifesaver - given I'm at work and always on calls. A lot of their food has a middle eastern twist and it taste soooo good! Its a must-try. You won't be dissapointed at all!“

“Favorite spot on the West Coast!“

“My wife & I have been eating at The Broken Yolk Cafe in Irvine for several years now and we absolutely love the delicious food and the wonderful service, particularly via our regular server Alicia. She has such a positive attitude and shares our love of dogs. She always makes sure to bring our dog Maizie a bowl of water and a pup cup whenever we go there. I cannot recommend this Broken Yolk location and Alicia enough.“

“άψογο μαγαζί και άψογη εξυπηρέτηση“

“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.“

“This was a wonderfully meal we got lucky and got seats at the cafe bar. I had biscuts and gravy and lol a half order of eggs benedict. Delicious I would totally recomend thos spot . All the food looked good wish I had room for a cinnamon rool with extra icing it looked amazing. Go.“

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

“The service here is great, the portions are generous and the food is Fantastic. Best pumpkin pancakes anyplace. My only wish is that they had fresh squeezed orange juice.“

“great service. fun yummy food and reasonable prices. go !“

“Literally just popped in a few minutes ago, Sara made the best Findi Signature w/ light ice I've ever had 🥹😭🙏🏽
Had a rough day so I really needed this, deadass making this spot a priority from now on 🔥💯✨️“

“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.“

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