Notes: - good drinks - very small parking but there's street parking - empty in the morning but busier in the afternoon - wifi speed fluctuate I came here with my friend on a weekday to get some studying done. If you drive by fast you can miss it. Parking is behind the store but there is only 2 parking spots. Street parking in front of the store is 2 hours only but free. There is also a residential street around the block you can park at. We came at 7am so the parking and the store was empty. It is a cute cafe that is nicely decorated. Lots of seatings however there was limited outlets. The big tables inside have outlets in the middle! There was only 1 worker but the drinks came out fast. They have milk alternative (oat, almond, macadamia) for a dollar extra. From 7am to 9am the store was not that busy but around 2pm to 3pm it was getting pretty busy if you were looking to get a table. Order: + $5.25 Organic Jasmine Peach (8/10): this was a refreshing drink that is very tea based. if you like actual tea and not bubble tea, this is a good drink. it wasn't bitter or sweet. had a hint of peach with each sip. + $ Double Strawberry Milk (9/10): contains strawberry cream, milk, and housemade strawberry compote. this drink was really good and it had fresh strawberries in it Study: + lots of seats that can seat 1-6 people + outlets + restroom - Wifi is sometime fast but sometime slow - small parking Not relevant but I thought it was cool how diverse the music was here lol. I heard english, spanish, korean, and vietnamese songs during my hours here. read more

Such a cute coffee shop! It felt very spacious inside, and I loved the outdoor patio--perfect for enjoying a drink in the fresh air. They offer a lot of unique drink options, and the cashier was super helpful in providing recommendations. I ended up trying the strawberry cream latte, which was a great choice. The cream was light with a mild strawberry flavor that paired really well with the coffee. I also had a sip of the Spanish latte, which was pretty good too. It's on the sweeter side, but not overly sweet. Overall, a great spot to relax and enjoy some delicious drinks. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks! read more

Great atmosphere. The coffee was delicious. We're definitely like to see more options on the menu.

Quality of matcha is so good! The strawberry matcha is exactly how I like it, made with strawberry puree. The matcha tonic is a bitter drink which I love, but definitely isn't for everyone. They also have wifi which makes this a great place to study or get some work done. read more

Such a cute place! The outside looks like a little house and the inside and nice and spacious with minimal decor. Outlets were not at every seating area but overall there was a good amount. There is outdoor seating but it was way too hot to try that out today. They had vegan options including a cake! I got the vegan lemon poppy seed muffin and their Strawberry Matcha. The wifi has a password but it's taped on the glass near the front counter. The service was quick and not too chatty. The drinks and food were yummy. This is one of the cafes I visited during my Work Cafe OC tour. Parking is in the back but it's minimal. read more

525 Coffee Co is a hidden gem located near downtown Fullerton. The parking lot is a bit small, however there is street parking. When you enter, it looks like a house. Going inside, there is ample places to sit. Service is quite fast whenever I go. There's also seating outside as well! I usually opt out for their Spanish latte. It's great if you're looking for something on the sweeter side. Definitely a nice balance between the coffee taste and sweetness. They also have a nice pastry selection as well. Usually, I get the cheddar sage croissant if I'm feeling hungry. read more

Lowkey spot. Not trending or blew up on ig or Tiktok, so ambiance is very calm (thank goodness). Customers range from college students to people in their mid to late thirties, working on school work or projects. Not necessarily the place to catch up with friends because it's pretty quiet. I was impressed by the strawberry matcha latte here. I do think it's a bit overpriced for what it is and they add too much ice, but it's still the best strawberry latte in the area. They make it with fresh strawberries, there's a good matcha flavor, and it's not too sweet. Parking is along the street. The store front looks like a little house. There's plenty of seating here too. read more

I parked on the street and visited for a coffee. It is a quiet place with minimal decor with seating both inside and also on an outside deck; it appears to be a converted home. I placed my order with the very friendly woman behind the counter - a hot vanilla latte and a Nutella croissant which I requested to be warmed up. I sat at one of the few open indoor tables that wasn't occupied by laptop campers. In a few minutes she quietly called me to the counter to pick up my order. My vanilla latte, served in a ceramic mug, was typical but quite good. The croissant was heated just enough to make it warm without melting the Nutella which was generously filling the interior. There was a lot of Nutella crammed into that croissant so it would have been a mess if overheated. Even so, what's with napkins that are the size of a postage stamp? I need about 20 to get through a Nutella croissant. The croissant itself was flakey and delicious. Although not "wowed" by this place, if I lived nearby I'd likely visit now and then. read more

Service: quick Coffee: strawberry cream latte delish, no notes. Spanish latte, not my boyfriend's favorite. Seating: plenty of indoor and outdoor, but outdoor seating was very dirty, lots of dust and there are no outlets. There are two umbrellas that provide ample shade. Parking: 2 hr street parking available in front, like 3 spots available in the lot behind. Bathrooms: 1 per gender, women's was nice, clean and big. read more

I have wanted to stop here so many times but haven't. I am sooo happy we did. Came with my best friend today we wanted a good cup of coffee before she goes to work. Wow I'm impressed the girl helping us helped us choose she said the strawberry cream latte was amazing I am so happy I tried it cause it really is. Definitely coming back. So clean and inviting and so cute. Hard to find parking but they have a lot in the back but I didn't feel comfortable parking back there. I'm so happy we found a new spot to go. Definitely recommend coming here, friendly service, clean and inviting atmosphere. Delicious coffee I love it! Have a beautiful day :) Aloha read more

This morning, we visited a coffee shop. The atmosphere felt cozy and homey, just like being at home. My wife and I ordered an iced Americano and a flat white. The espresso was a blend of beans from Ethiopia and Honduras, offering a nice balance of mild acidity and syrupy sweetness. The flat white was also excellent, with perfectly textured foam and just the right temperature. It's definitely a coffee shop I'd recommend to anyone! read more

The worker that helped me was extremely kind and helped me pick out a great drink! The seating is limited but there are outlets and spots for doing work both indoor and outdoor -- it's a super cute hidden spot and the ambience was fairly quiet when I went but I know that it does get pretty busy in here! read more

I was kind of looking forward to coming here but I was not super impressed. There are pros and cons. First off, parking was confusing. The establishment faces the street and street parking was 2 hours but there wasn't any available. A lot of surrounding businesses look like apartment buildings and small parking entrances some on the side, so I drove several times around before taking a risk to park next door. I haven't checked my car and it's been about 4 hours so hopefully nothing shady happened. Haha Okay so this coffee house looks like a renovated house. The size inside is okay. A good amount of tables and outlets but unfortunately the items I got were not so great. Maybe I am just coffee'd out from the cafes I've been visiting, but nothing is perfect. Sometimes the coffee is good but ambiance is not, and sometimes like here the ambiance is good but the coffee isn't. This makes me want to open up my own coffee place that will have both but that's in my wildest dreams. :) I got the strawberry latte with milk and a birthday "cakewich". Both items came out to $14. Sigh the coffee was average but I only took about 5 sips my whole time there. As for the cake, its not fresh and got me wondering how long has it been in the display? I was hoping there wouldn't be mold on it and there wasn't, but it didn't taste fresh and the flavor was nothing special. I will say this place is quiet and a good place to study. It also has a very big and clean female restroom. Picture is attached as proof. Because the coffee wasn't great, I won't be back. Good luck though! read more

cute place. lots of room and i love that the bathroom is clean! had the two strawberry coffee drinks they offer and they were both above average. however, one of the drinks came only 75% full. you cant tell because there is so much foam (from mixing it i am assuming) at first but we waited to take a sip and look at how much of the coffee disappeared! that was annoying. felt short changed if you know what i mean. read more

Nice place with a good layout. It was fairly busy with a line just out the door. However the drinks were delivered drinks in quick fashion. Kudos to the crew!! Had the standard lattes with oat milk. One regular and other was decaf. Both had good flavor and brewed well especially since they were putting the drinks out fast. Like that they use 4 shots on a large. My only suggestion would be to use Oatly or Chobani oatmilk since both offer a richer flavor anmore body. read more

Only been here once. I visited them on a Tuesday around 10 am. It was quiet with a few patrons. The lady taking my order was super sweet. My strawberry matcha was delicious. If I return I'll definitely stick around to enjoy their space. Huge draw back is they have little parking space. read more

This busy stretch of Commonwealth doesn't have the most curb appeal, so the modern and airy interior of 525 is a welcome reprieve. The outdoor patio is expectedly noisy, but that's what you do when you have pets. Or loud children. I fear the crowd this place would draw on a beautiful, 72-and-sunny type of day. There was no line at noon on the cloudy Saturday I went, but nearly every seat inside was already occupied anyway, mostly with students on their laptops or couples and friends meeting up. I'm not one for fruity coffee but if the number one item is fruity coffee... when in Rome, right? Strawberry Cream Latte with oat milk. I was prepared for disappointment because strawberry is not an easy flavor to do well, but this strawberry cream was good: Thicker than a Pixar mom? Check. Not too sweet or overpowering? Check. Good enough for me to want to come back and try other things? (Looking at you, Spanish Latte.) Check, check, check. Everything Croissant with Cream Cheese. Even my pastry-averse partner admitted that the texture was on point. Like, I'm almost confident this croissant had at least a million layers. But the top outer layer. With the toasted sesame, poppy, and salt? Aesthetic, addictive, delicious. I'd buy it in cracker form if I could. read more

This cafe is a great study/work spot. It quiet and ample seats with chargers. During peak hours the lighting is really nice but not warm inside due to good AC and circulation. I parked on the street not realizing there's a small lot in the back of the cafe. I tried the strawberry cream top latte and it was flavorful, but a little sweet for my taste. Next time, I have to try their baked goods and their cold brew! read more

Decided to drop by since I was running errands in the area and had a sudden craving for a strawberry latte. Not too familiar with the area so I yelped it and this was the closest location to where I was. Hands down one of the best I've ever had anywhere! I was actually pretty skeptical because I tend to try places recommended by friends and family but this was a pleasant surprise! It was the perfect blend of coffee and strawberry. If you like strawberry lattes, please give this spot a try if you haven't already! read more

What an adorable coffee shop! Love the cute purple house in a great easy to access location in Fullerton just outside of downtown. I met up with my sister-in-law where I got the Salted Maple Cream Cold Brew (pink salt, maple cream, + kyoto style cold brew). I just loved that saltiness with the sweet. She got the Orange BIanco (double espresso, cold foam milk, + housemade orange compote). Also delicious! We wanted to share something to eat so we picked their Chorizo Cheddar Croissant which was delicious. It was a steady busyness and while the girl was all alone, she kept the line moving and making the drinks in a timely manner. I'll definitely go back - this would be a great spot to do some studying or take care of some remote work. read more

My partner took me here for the first time, not too long ago and it was great! I like how calm & mellow it is inside the cafe. I think it's a perfect place to study, read or even just to have a quiet moment for yourself. The overall aesthetic of the place is very cute, Im a little biased because I love the color purple but even the seating choices are nice & comfortable. I loved my chai latte but my partners drink was so much better. I definitely think i'll order myself a matcha next time but overall, i'd definitely visit this place again!! read more

The service was good, the coffee was unique and pretty tasty. The shop was a good size, the batheroom was giant, and sparkling clean. I tried the salted maple cream cold brew. (Kyoto style, which I've never tried before.) At first it seemed too strong but it turned out that I enjoyed it more and more and it was tasty. My husband tried the orange bianco, we both like it. It was definitely a different and tasty drink. There was a cute sitting area in the back. Lots of flowers and plants. Parking was on the street. read more

This is such a cute little cafe! I've been coming to the Body Centre next door for years and about a year ago I saw this cafe next door. While working in the area I really needed a matcha latte and this came up so I decided now was the time. I'm so happy I went! Inside it feels small and cozy, like the type of place you can relax and do some work while sipping a hot drink. It wasn't packed with customers but had a couple other people sitting and enjoying their coffee. Not being crowded is a big plus for me. I ordered a hot matcha latte with macadamia milk and a butter croissant. I really wanted to try the sage and cheddar croissant but they sold out so I'll have to try again another time! The matcha was delicious, and not overly sweet like it tends to be at the larger chain coffee shops. Croissant was perfect; warm, flakey, buttery, and had some little crispy caramelized bits that were just delicious! I really enjoyed my morning snack and it made me feel great before heading back to work. The lady at the counter was really nice. My only gripe is the parking; in this area there is very limited street parking and the coffee shop feels like a converted house so it's parking lot is basically just a large driveway with a singular one lane entry/exit. I'm not sure what happens if two cars are entering and leaving at the same time, but thankfully I didn't have to find out. Be careful parking but please do give this place a try. I want to try other drinks but would definitely get the matcha latte again! read more

Strawberry Cream Coffee tastes great, the music is nice, and the atmosphere is quiet. The staff are always friendly whenever I visit.

But still, love the coffee, love the place :) read more

This is my favorite coffee spot in Fullerton. The strawberry cream top latte is my favorite drink and it is unique. Unlike other strawberry lattes, this one has a different strawberry flavor. It reminds me of a strawberry Hi-Chew. That may sound gross, but it is absolutely delicious in this drink. I get it iced with oat milk and it's gone in minutes. I also enjoy their orange blanco. I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try. read more

Very cute cafe with spacious seating and wifi. When we visited it was extremely quiet, there was no music playing, which can be very beneficial for those who are trying to get work done. The coffee was good for its price point (~$7) and their pastries are very high quality. There is parking in the back of the building, however the alley to get there is very tight. There is parking on the streets surrounding the cafe. Service was great, the barista was patient and helpful in guiding us through their menu. read more

Finally had a chance to try this cafe. It was fine. Not terrible, not great. Parking is easy to miss. I went in the morning. I saw two customers leave, but other than that, there weren't any customers inside. The barista seemed sick and everything seemed a bit pricey. It was clean and has plenty of outlets. The iced mocha was not great and cost $6.25. My overall experience was meh. I don't think I'll go back. read more

Cozy vibes here perfect for both studying and casual talking. Coffee is great and they have a homey cabin aesthetic. Got the matcha latte and it was divine. There are outlets around, especially on the big tables. Most people did seem to come for studying when I went on a Saturday. They only have two parking spots in the back, but it's not too hard to find street parking. They also serve it to you in a glass cup sometimes for dine-in and they use recycled eco straws, so you can tell they're trying to be eco-conscious. read more

Charming little coffee shop that feels a little off the beaten path as most of the surrounding buildings feel dated. Approaching the shop, it feels like a quaint little house. The interior is open with a couple of large tables where students can do group projects or just study together. Around the walls, there are a couple of smaller tables with pairs of chairs to make for a semi-intimate setting for a nice date or even to just catch up with an old friend. The folks working here are friendly and welcoming. Never rushed, just patient and kind. I ordered the Spanish Latte. A latte with some condensed milk and cinnamon sprinkled on top. It smelled heavenly, tasted like salvation for a sleep-deprived newborn father. Had a butter croissant to go with it, which they warmed up for me. This place is my go-to for when I need to work remotely in Fullerton. read more
