It didn't blow my socks off, but it was still a good coffee. My girlfriend really liked the matcha with banana chips. I might come back to try a different drink on the menu. read more

I tried 3 of their drink drinks here and they were all delicious - Cloud Ape, Snow Monkey and Money Business. The banana cream top is super yummy with the matcha and latte. I highly recc trying that first since it's more unique. The storefront is small with a few tables outside. Inside vibe is dark with a giant logo for taking pictures. read more

Delicious drink. The staff were kind and energetic. Outdoor seating only. Monkey business drink was tasty. The Madeline looked so delicious, but when I asked, I was told it was nearly $6. So I didn't go for it. I'd try the drinks again to go but probably wouldn't want to stay. Just my preference. The area and space are clean. read more

This is a really clever coffee place. The name says it all with cool menu items to match like the ape tuna crunch melt. I had the cappuccino which was really good!The girl taking orders was super nice and offered pastries that would tast good with cappuccino. It has alot of seating outside. None inside presently. So many pastries. A really cool logo of an ape is on cups. read more

ape is pretty solid but is a different kind of matcha from what i'm used to... it's hard to describe but their matcha is really refreshing? i can't tell if i like it or not lol i got their banana matcha latte and the banana cream was yummy, pretty solid but i will say they put way too much honey at the top so when i mixed it the drink was too sweet and tasted too much like honey for me i also had their tuna melt because they do a little lunch deal where you can get a sandwich (tuna melt or egg salad) and drink which was nice! as a student, its a really good deal so i'd come back for that :) the sandwich itself, was just okay but i still enjoyed it -- i personally preferred the egg salad over the tuna melt study wise, they don't have any seats inside because the shop itself is small but they do offer seating outside so i would only study here on a day with nice weather read more

Ape Coffee - banana matcha - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

We ordered the Monkey Business (oatmilk sub), and it was one of the best cream tops I've ever had! The authentic banana flavor with a dash of cinnamon was buttah. I don't like sweet drinks, and I felt mine was perfectly balanced. Most importantly, it gave me the jolt I needed to make it through a long night. The cafe is tiny with zero indoor seating, but there are bistro tables outside. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, and I felt $6.50 for a fantastic coffee was reasonable. read more

Ape Coffee - Monkey Business - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

Finally came around to checking this place out and I'm so glad I did... I ran into the barista, Carmen, outside and she right away gave off friendly and chill vibes. When I finally went in, it took me a while to decide what I wanted to try. I have my favorites but I'm also a fan of trying new things. Not being able to decide (despite Carmen's helpful input), I tried both the Monkey Business and the Snow Monkey specialty coffees. Neither drink disappointed and still not entirely sure which I liked better! Probably the Snow Monkey, but still a tough decision to make. Although the shop is a little small, they make up for it with an inviting atmosphere. Definitely recommending this place to my coffee-lover friends! read more

I'm disappointed in Ape coffee. It was my go to for a few months straight every day. The last five times I went I noticed some changes that made me stop going and then decided to give it a try because I was in the area. Sure enough I'm disappointed again. As a regular customer, I noticed that they're topping off the cups with ice that's a new thing. My friend had about three sips and half his drink was gone. For my drink, I love Matcha. I had to say light ice this time after having issues with the new serving size formula they're doing now. My drink taste flavored milk. Almost look like food coloring to make it look like matcha. This new formula they switch to is not the correct ratio. Whoever decided this was the move, as a regular this is a NO. I don't always write reviews, but I just feel like they took my money again. The staff is great. It's just the formula for the drinks went to shit. Both locations have great staff. All super kind read more

The banana matcha is the most delicious matcha I've ever had. I'm addicted now. I get it with almond milk so it's not as rich. But some people might like it rich and creamy - and that it is! Also the avocado toast... perfect. read more

We love this spot! It has my favorite banana coffees. My go to is the Monkey Business and my bf loves the snow ape. The baristas are so kind and helpful. Today we got to try their bacon chive pastry and a strawberry croissant. So yummy! The interior is well fitted to their monkey theme. read more

Very good banana matcha! Must try! Always a good experience there. Never disappoints:)

I purchased the Brazil coffee beans. And may I say so freaken good. I made at home with my espresso machine. Top notch coffee!

Stopped by for the first time 03/26 because our friend recommended them having great tasting coffee. My fiancé and I both ordered the "Monkey business" and my goodness. The taste was exquisite and rich. Definitely a treat worth trying !! The shop is small and cozy which makes it even better! Service was friendly and quick considering the baristas making everything from scratch. Can't wait to be back! read more

Cute little place with flavor bomb coffee! Love their banana cream cold foam My new fave local coffee shop you gotta check out Like trying something new (always the iced version) every time I go- so far every flavor is a hit read more

Whoever roasts there beans knows what they're doing. Service is constantly terrible. They will forget items in your order. They don't know where their coffee comes from or care. It's clean at least. read more

It's my second time trying Ape Coffee but first time at this location and I'm giving same positive review. I was greeted once walked in and cashier was very polite. This time I ordered the Mexican Howler Latte and it was very good even my daughter liked it. This location is way smaller than the other but nice and clean. I will definitely keep stopping by when I'm on that area. read more

The monkey business is the business. The perfect combination of banana and coffee. I really enjoyed it. I also tried their hibiscus refresher and it was good because it wasn't overly sweet. The cashiers were also really helpful in helping decide what drinks to get with their insight on the drinks. I will definitely be back. read more

One of the best latte's I've ever had. Their banana cold foam is out of this world. Anytime I'm around I make sure to get one!

The banana matcha is to die for:p small inside so we like to order ahead but the staff is always friendly!

The staff was friendly and very approachable. Their Monkey Business Latte was tasty with the banana cream.

Decided to try this place after a pilates class and needless to say, it definitely hit the spot! The shop itself is very small with no seating inside, so I wouldn't say it's ideal for studying, however the banana latte I got was amazing. It came out pretty fast too. The banana crème was so flavorful, yet not too sweet or overpowering. I got my drink less sweet and it was perfect for me. Definitely will be back to explore the menu! read more

Ape Coffee - Banana Brulee Latte - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

This location is a lot smaller and has outdoor seating. I liked their banana matcha it had a good blend of both banana and matcha. Compared to the other location, I would probably chose the other one since there is indoor seating and better to do work/meet with others. Overall all their drinks are solid. read more

I tried Ape Coffee for the first time and their snowy espresso is SO good. Their tuna sandwich was solid- but didn't love the fennel taste. Great experience and service overall :) read more

Great service but the prices are genuinely crazy. 8 dollars for a matcha is a little ridiculous but it was decent. The service was nice and the place was very quaint and aesthetically pleasing. However for an eight dollar matcha when selecting the less ice option only filling the cup halfway is genuinely comical. I understand that they say that it is for consistency but still charging 6-8 dollars for a matcha that is filled halfway is still crazyyyy! read more

I have been here several times now. I picked a couple of drinks I didn't love as much as others but I've found several drinks that I do love! (Like anything else in life) All of my drinks were great quality though. Everyone here has always been helpful and as quick as possible while maintaining great quality. I love the Ape logo! Very cool. They accept Apple Pay. Some things on the interior need some paint touch up's from sorting the space out but overall the space functions well for rolling in and rolling out. They have some merch, a small water station and some food items available. There is some minimal seating out front. This isn't a hang and work type space. I'm rooting for these guys! I'll be back. read more

The coffees are consistently awesome and the workers are always positive (Shout-out to Patrick!). Even this morning, the two young women behind the counter acknowledged my feedback that one of the drinks had the milk to espresso ratio slightly off and re-made it exactly right and without a fuss. Thanks again for that! read more

Stoped by this little coffee shop while I was waiting for my tires change cross street. Surprised they take coffee to the next level. If you are a coffee or matcha lover, you should try this place. read more

Ape Coffee - Monkey Business - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

This coffee shop is tiny but conveniently located in a small strip mall. I ordered the matcha monkey business but was given the coffee version instead, which is fine. I get mistakes happen when new businesses get busy. First sip, the banana foam with cinnamon was heavenly. It's thick, lightly sweet, and not artificially flavored. Taking in a 2nd sip, I noticed a layer of unmixed syrup at the bottom, which for an $8 drink was mildly disappointing. I love supporting local coffee shops so I'll be back, hoping to try the matcha monkey business next time! read more

The banana foam top is natural and is the best around, they always get order perfect .

I came across this cafe on Yelp and decided to try it. I thought the logo and the concept on the cafe was very cute. The service was absolutely wonderful. I asked her what she recommend for a sweet coffee and she recommended Monkey Business and personally I thought it was a perfect drink for me. I was hesitant at first because of the honey flavor but I trusted her recommendation and I'm so glad I did. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich, I originally wanted the bacon but they unfortunately ran out so I go the sausage breakfast sandwich. The sausage breakfast sandwich kind of reminded me of a mc ds breakfast sandwich (which I haven't had in forever) . The last item I ordered was the Brown Butter Choco-Banana Loaf and that was very good not too sweet and not too chocolatey. A couple things to keep in mind when going to this location is they do run of of items pretty fast, it is small, and they do have seating available outside. Overall I had a good experience and would come back for the coffee. 5/5 (on the coffee) read more

Ape Coffee - Signature Matcha latte - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

I was in the Placentia area and decided to give this Ape location a try. It's definitely a much smaller spot, but they were quick! I ordered the Incredible Ape Matcha from the kiosk, and the drink came out fast. It was good and had a solid flavor but I have to say, the Orange location still hits the spot for me every time. There are a few tables outside if you want to sit, and the workers were friendly and welcoming. It was cool to check out this other location, but I'll probably stick to my usual go-to in Orange(: read more

Wasn't too thrilled with this place, the vibes were very off when I walked in. The staff members were talking to each other and trying to be polite I waited for them to finish. No greeting or let us know when you're ready. I got the monkey business latte and it tasted ok. Kinda like when your pour hot coffee over not enough ice and it's just weird. Would not get again. I did get this banana bread chocolate thing and that was absolutely delicious. read more

Ordered an iced matcha latte. It was disappointing. Barely any matcha flavor, and the color was light. Would not recommend. Service was quick and good. read more

Ape Coffee - matcha latte - Cafes Near Me - Placentia, California

Can't go wrong here. Nice little spot with plenty of parking. Good music as you order and the place looks clean. The day we went my wife got a Cloud Ape and I got a Tiramisu Latte (espresso) as it can also be served with matcha instead of espresso. We also ordered a pecan monkey bread, which I highly suggest if you have a sweet tooth. But I also love to pair pastries with coffee.The baristas are always nice and welcoming. I think my only qualm is that the space isn't bigger. Would love to sit in an Ape Coffee shop and enjoy the vibes. Thanks Ape! read more

I love the coffee here, but giving a 2 star because I can never get it. This place is closed by the time of get off work. Why do you close at 4 I always end up going across the street for coffee after work. I got off early at 4:30 once when they had just opened just to find out they had closed at 4 what a shame because I would be here every day. read more

Stopped by APE Coffee for the first time today and the customer service was top notch! Thank you Analese (sorry if I misspelled your name!) for your help, it was much appreciated. Lattes and sandwich were good! Definitely coming back for another coffee! read more
