50 Best Cafes near Fountain Valley

“first time. lovely experience. everything was very good, but not extraordinary. the avocado toast was pretty bland, couldn’t taste the avocado or cream cheese. the turkish coffee was a surprise - i don’t usually drink black coffee unless it’s very good coffee, this one i could drink it black. loved the candy that came with the coffee. service was basic, more like neighborhood family restaurant style, and they both were on the quiet side. the decor was nice and chic, not so fancy. the place was clean and quiet. overall, it’s good but on the pricier end.“

“Delicious! I had the crispy pork belly wraps, the seafood tom kha pasta and a coconut matcha drink. All were absolutely beyond expectations. The service is spectacular! Shout out to our server Young for the recommendations and great amicable service. On top of it all, the space is very beautiful and inviting.

Aaand, I was a klutz and spilled my coconut matcha...I was devastated because I hadn't had much and I made a disaster. Shout out to Robert for calmly helping out with a smile...he cleaned the entire mess AND brought me a whole new drink which he didn't have to do!“

“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!“

“the coffee is a good price“

“7 Leaves Cafe and Crema Bakery paired up be Artisan. You get the same 7 Leaves drinks but this location offer foods like pizzas, various baked goods and brunch/dinner.

We always come late when items are sold out so can’t comment on their food. Except for the pop corn chicken, it has the right amount of spice and crispness.

This place is spacious inside and filled with students. Their drinks are consistent. Be sure to look at the app for their “shh..” menu which is their secret menu. I always get Tea-Tex which is mung bean with matcha.“

“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.“

“Little Billy’s Breakfast was a great experience overall. The service truly went above and beyond — everyone was very welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The pancakes were delicious, and the rest of the breakfast was solid and satisfying.

The only downside was that there was no barista when we arrived, so we weren’t able to get coffee. That said, everything else was very positive, and we’d happily come back again.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

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

“Best coffee lattes! My favs are the Spanish latte and salted almond latte. They are always consistent with flavors. The drinks are all so delicious. They do get rush hour in the mornings but they all work so hard to make orders correct and yummy. Thank you Flat White! 💗“

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

“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.“

“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:)“

“Been coming here since day one! It’s my fiancé’s and my favorite coffee spot in Orange County. As a heavy coffee drinker and connoisseur, it’s in my top three across all of OC, LA, and the IE. I always recommend it to friends and family.“

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.“

“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.“

“άψογο μαγαζί και άψογη εξυπηρέτηση“

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

“Instantaneous service, huge portions. The server helped tape a menu to the window to block the direct sunlight which was right in our eyes at 8:30 or so in a November morning. Plenty of places to sit (patios out front and in back) if you don't happen to want that table).“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Toda su comida es deliciosa y el ecselente trato , muy familiar.“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“What a fantastic spot! The food was delicious, portions were generous, and everything came out perfectly cooked. The staff made us feel right at home and were happy to help with recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.“

“1. The coffee drink would definitely add a lot of energy to any day! The sandwich was delicious!
2. The spot has business casual vibes since it is located inside a commercial building! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! During the lunch rush, my order took about 20 mins!
Note: I did not easily see if this spot has their own restrooms for customers!

“Ahhhhh SO GOOD. Made two stops during our 3 day visit. We enjoyed lunch on the first day; toasted cheese with house made chips. Loved the chips and toasted cheese didn't skimp on the cheese. Crust was pretty hard though. And my husband got the Beef Birria Toasted Cheese. He said it was as delicious and amazing as every says it is. 2nd trip in I got the Toffee Nut Cold Brew with vanilla foam and the macaroon...to die for! Sooo good.“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Knottea Cafe on our interview date. As someone who willingly admits that she’s not the biggest fan of boba teas, I fully admit that I sometimes forget that boba shops do in fact carry other types of drinks. Knottea Cafe in Stanton, CA is exactly one of those shops that makes sure to have a decent variety of beverages to meet any visitor’s needs. They have everything from milk teas to smoothies to a build your own favor option, and of course, they have some wonderful coffee options for the bean lovers out there. A mere ten minutes away from Knott’s Berry Farm and twenty minutes from Disneyland Park, Knottea Cafe is a great pitstop on your way for a fun day at the amusement park.“

“I really love it here. Even when busy the people are so helpful and patient. The drinks I’ve gotten so far have all been delicious and delicately crafted! My favorite is the dirty matcha! It’s a whole experience. The vibes inside are so freaking cute and dainty. Very Vietnamese feeling with the low chairs and tables, gives it some culture and makes it feel homey. Highly recommend to give it a try.“

“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.“

“This place never disappoints when you're looking for something quick and tasty! I always customize my breakfast sandwich and love their espresso shots. I mix it with my protein blend, and it fills me up perfectly. The atmosphere is clean, and the staff is friendly.“

“I got the pork belly larb which was very flavorful and yummy. It was a bit pricey, but the portion size was big enough to split into two meals. Strawberry matcha latte was $6, but there is also a slightly different strawberry matcha latte that was $8, so be sure to clarify which version you want. Free chocolate chip cookies, muffins, and nut mix was very nice.“

“Love the lemon ricotta pancakes here.“
