50 Best Coffee Shops in Fullerton

“best pistachio latte and pistachio croissant I've ever had“

“-Study and work here every now and then on weekdays. Wifi not bad, 12ish seats inside, chargers included, open relatively late 10pm.
-Atmosphere is great, good hospitality even when there is mistake I notice the owner and other workers are aware of themselves and have a good attitude.
-Not too much of a coffee critic so with a medium grain of salt coffee ain't bad, have not had any issues.
-Karaoke and arts of music events in the back have happened every night I've been here and it creates a nice music community in downtown Fullerton.
-Would recommend for casual work and hangout in downtown, nice main piece of Downtown Fullerton coffee shops.“

“Honestly, this is one of those places you almost want to keep secret. The cafe is a converted house, so it feels much cozier and more welcoming than a typical coffee shop. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged.

I ordered a latte and a crepe, and both were excellent. The latte was smooth and flavorful, and the crepe was absolutely delicious. The owner was also incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home.

I rarely write reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing cafe with great coffee and food“

“We love the calm atmosphere with cute details. Friendly staff. The Matcha Bliss is delicious but the yummy tastes hides the strength of the coffee! 🫢 The Coco Matcha Cloud is very refreshing and they use our favorite pink coconut water! Located near Fullerton College so good place for students to come by.“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“Solid calm coffee spot with large tables, outlets, and a smaller crowd than other cafes in the Fullerton area. This is a great option if you are looking for a location that is not super busy on a weekday. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I stopped by on a Monday from 2pm-5pm. It was quiet and there were plenty of seats open. Ordered the Coconut Top Latte and a Chorizo Cheddar Croissant. The latte had a moderate coffee flavor, but the coconut foam could have been stronger. The croissant was delicious, buttery, and flaky, though it could have used a bit more chorizo inside. Bathrooms were clean and there is street parking available. I also noticed they have high chairs available which is a nice touch for families.“

“First time going to a Better Buzz - food, coffee and customer service were all top notch!“

“Great atmosphere inside & outside . Prices are very reasonable . Food is awesome & drinks look amazing . That Dutch crunch chicken sandwich is soooo good .“

“Allahumma Barik, we had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely amazing, and every item we tried was prepared to perfection. The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish, making us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of.

The turkey sandwiches were superb—fresh, flavorful, and made with great attention to detail. We also enjoyed the pizzas, which were delicious, with excellent toppings and a perfectly cooked crust. To top it all off, the tea was incredibly delicious and complemented the meal beautifully.

It is clear that a lot of care and effort goes into both the food and the service. The warm atmosphere, outstanding hospitality, and high-quality food made this a memorable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back again. May Allah place barakah in your business and continue to bless your efforts.“

“Absolutely wonderful place. Beautiful atmosphere. The customer service is outstanding. Fresh desserts and pastries. Wide selection of coffees made to your liking, and the music is absolutely perfect. Best kept secret in Fullerton. I highly recommend,“

“Best place for coffee and more! Awesome!“

“Great bakery with fresh pastries, delicious coffee, and friendly service. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The shop was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop for breakfast or a quick snack. Highly recommend!“

“Took my wife and daughters there past Sunday. Great place, great service, friendly people working there. I can tell they really enjoyed the atmosphere and quality of there coffee drinks & food. I enjoyed the Korean beef bowl. We'll be back.“

“I had a great experience at Play Coffee in Fullerton. I ordered a cortado made with their exclusive SEY beans, and it was well executed. The espresso and milk worked nicely together, with a balanced texture and a clean overall presentation.

I also tried an oat milk latte, which was excellent. The milk texture was smooth and well integrated, and the latte itself was beautifully made.

Beyond the coffee, the staff really added to the experience. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly, kind, and welcoming. Overall, great coffee, great hospitality, and a very enjoyable visit to Play.“

“Great coffee and chai! My husband and I stopped in while visiting our kids in the area. Adorable place and some of the coffee we have had. He had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and I had an iced dirty chai. We loved them both. We will be back any time we are in town!“

“Not sure if they provided them or we bought them but we just got a bunch of donuts and cinnamon rolls at our company. Hands down the top 2 cinnamon rolls I’ve had in my 30 years of life. The only one that can compare is the homemade ones I had a decade ago. Forget the donuts. Get the cinnamon rolls!!!!“

“Thank you so much for your help today.“

“After trying the majority of coffee shops in Fullerton, this one is my fave! There are lots of tables to work or study, great strawberry matcha, and the employees are always very friendly. Plus, there's a large parking lot right next to it, a bathroom, and wifi, so it's basically the perfect work-from-home or study spot. 10/10!“

“My wife and I have come here a couple times the last few weeks for both dine in and takeout.

The fish is fresh, the hand rolls are delicious, prices are reasonable, and service is pretty quick (as long as every seat doesn’t fill at the exact same time, but even that is manageable).

Highly recommended. In particular, we love the kanpachi, sea bream, and blue crab.“

“I have been here multiple times and will continue coming here everything I have ordered has been amazing!! The strawberry cold foam is sooo good the peanut butter latte with banana cream top is just as amazing! Their food is also great ! I love their bacon breakfast burrito… they promote inclusion hiring people with disabilities which I think is awesome! With that being said some of my visits I have waited for my order and other visits my order is out so fast, but this is very well worth the wait! It is also one of the if not only the only coffee shops that asks what my milk preference is without me having to remember I switch my milk .“

“Best Spanish Lattes in town!! -Michelle Jones“

“Imagine my surprise when I searched for coffee in Fullerton and found Klatch! Located inside Sprouts on Harbor Blvd. and the 91 freeway, it's a family-owned gem way better than Starbucks. I've been a regular at their Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga locations since I was a kid!

What sets Klatch apart is their unique coffee concoctions, especially the Patio Special--perfect for any day. If you're unsure what to order, start with that and add a shot of espresso. They also offer seasonal drinks with lime or watermelon and espresso, which sound odd but are incredibly refreshing.

My sister loves their house mocha, while I always go for the Mexican mocha for a little spice. They have an app for loading money and accumulating rewards points, but the only downside is there's no drive-thru. The staff is always friendly and often remembers your usual orders at the other stores I've been to and hopefully that remains the same for this store. They also roast their own beans and have a wide array of beans to choose from. I especially love any of their Ethiopia blends, the house blend and their espresso beans. Occasionally they'll have Geisha beans for sale and it's the best beans I've ever had! Definitely skip Starbucks and come here instead.“

“Delicious food! We loved it !“

“I had the winterberry tea. It was so good. No sugar!! It’s my new favorite“

“This place is so cozy and really laid back! Nick and Cindy were super cool in helping me out, surprising me with a refreshing Matcha lemonade when I asked them to choose a drink for me! They put a huge smile on my face making me feel super welcomed, and both of them deserve a raise!! I look forward to coming here and doing more work down here! :D“

“We love Coffee Code! It has a reputation for great coffee. I love the atmosphere and the baristas are competent, friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Delicious pastries; great service. Highly recommend.“

“B&B Donuts in Fullerton is a true Orange County classic, serving the community since 1984. Their donuts are consistently fresh, high-quality, and so popular they often sell out, with lines out the door during busy hours. It’s the kind of place where you know everything is made right and worth the wait.

The people make it even better. The Cambodian ladies are incredibly welcoming and bilingual in Spanish, and Luis and his sister are amazing — friendly, hardworking, and always smiling. With features in the OC Register and even a recent Hollywood film shot here, B&B is more than a donut shop — it’s an OC institution. Highly recommend stopping by for their iconic, classic donuts that America loves. 🍩“

“LOVE Sip and Savor. It is the perfect spot to study, work, or just relax for a while. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. I ordered the popular Tiramisu Latte, and after the first spoonful of the creamy top, I was honestly blown away. It truly tasted like eating a dessert in drink form. The house made cream was smooth, rich, and had the perfect consistency without being too heavy. Every sip was balanced and flavorful. I also ordered the Sticky Pecan Monkey Bread, and it was just as impressive. Light, fluffy, and flaky with the right amount of sweetness, while still letting the pecan flavor shine through. It paired perfectly with the latte and felt like the ultimate morning pick me up. If you’re looking for a cozy coffee shop with delicious drinks, fresh pastries, and a relaxing vibe, Sip and Savor is definitely worth visiting.“

“Always a good one. They make you feel at home❤️“

“What a good intention name! Intentional coffee is definitely worth a visit- such good vibes! Great spot to chill with friends or family 🥰“

“Love the look of this location! It's very easy to access, has more space than many in-store starbucks, and was very nice! It had an appropriate level of busy and had a good amount of staff who were all nice! It does take a minute to get your drink(s), but that's mainly because it's only a couple people, but it's a reasonable wait. (Plus, they seemed to be teaching someone so it probably took an extra moment because of that)“

“Love this gem and so glad it has stayed for so many years...always fresh, and warm donuts. Been going there for 13+ years and so refreshing to see the same people.Their donuts are beyond a doubt the best I have had anywhere. Try for yourself and you won't regret it :)“

“Pink boba thank you for your great services. Staff is always nice. The inside of the store looks better now and clean. And it's always great to have you around the corner especially during the summer. So far all your flavors are great! They have a delight taste. Love your business hours too. And the stamp card to get a free boba. #YeiPinkBoba“

“friendly staff, attention to detail, amazing drinks!“

“Everyone there is so welcoming and the service is excellent!! My drinks are always made perfectly!“

“Milk foam topping on your tea ✅ Compliment your tea with a sponge cake✅. It’s all good!“

“Kayla’s Cake is such a hidden gem! We love that it’s women-owned and run by a team of hardworking moms and local college students, it really shows in the care they put into everything. Their new Dubai-inspired desserts are AMAZING. The flavors are so unique with rich chocolate, crispy textures, and pistachio that all come together perfectly. You can tell everything is made fresh and high quality. Definitely a must-visit whether you’re in Fullerton or stopping by Downtown Disney District. A plus is their friendly service by Thai and Miriam!“

“Delicious, fresh, soft bagels! This place is a must try if you’re looking for fresh bagels. I come here all the time to get a half dozen. They have many flavors, Asiago, jalapeño, everything, garlic, sun dried tomato, sourdough, blueberry, wheat, poppy, coconut; and so many more. They also have tubs of cream cheese you can buy, I tried the chive & onion cream cheese and the Lox (smoked salmon) cream cheese, both SO good!
Once you try these, you can’t go back to store-bought bagels.“

“This is my favorite go-to boba spot. The owner is very friendly, and most importantly, the boba is always fresh because it’s carefully managed by the owner. They’re generous with the fruit, and you can really feel their genuine passion for boba.
I’ve moved to a different area so I can’t come as often, but whenever I’m nearby, this is always a place I make sure to stop by.“

“the best Starbucks in town“

“It doesn't matter whether we go at 4:00 in the morning or 4:00 in the afternoon, this Dunkin location has the absolute nicest staff I've ever experienced out of any fast food establishment. Special shout out to Lee-Anne who is maybe a better pick me up than the coffee. She's so sweet!“

“Lots of outdoor seating, location was great, baristas were nice“

“Out of all of the Starbucks on the CSUF campus, this one is the best for the shortest lines. While Pollack is packed and the TSU is too, this one has always remained pretty steady. It is also bigger than the others with more space inside and out for seating. Because of the bigger store, there is bigger staff, and therefore better service. Mihaylo is also a nicer place in my opinion to chill the the crowded tsu and pollack.“

“Maddie, Eddie, Isiah(I probably spelled that wrong) are Amazing! They always make my day better not just because they serve delicious coffee. They serve smiles and 🤩 joy.“

“My husband and I love coming to this place for breakfast. The food is so good. We like ordering their breakfast burritos with their house-made salsa. Delicious! Also, their coffee is soooo…good. We order the butterscotch iced latte half-sweet and their cappuccino. Totally recommend you won’t be disappointed.“

“Was visiting from out of town and close to our hotel. Great coffee and food. My daughter loved her bagel breakfast sandwich, my son loved the donuts and I had the best apple fritter! Super nice ladies too! Happy to support a small business ❤️“

“Excellent service. The staff here are very helpful and know their stuff.“

“I usually cycle through different boba shops to study at, but Nobibi has been my go-to for the past few months. The owner (I believe?) is very sweet and has my order and adjustments memorized, and service has always been quick whenever I go. Even if you’re not a boba person, the ice cream is delicious, too!

My favorites: the taro milk tea; red bean and taro ice cream“
