    Amazing and super friendly employee!! Now this is what I expect at a coffee shop. Friendly staff and tastey drinks ! Definitely will become a fav spot of mine.

    Matcha Latte
    Candace M.

    One of my favorite matchas in SoCal... top 10 for sure!!! It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Place is in a random strip mall, and it's a tiny spot with a few outdoor tables, but the employees are always great!! They will bring your drink out to you if you're outside. I love that. Coffee is also solid but I definitely come here for the matcha.

    Monkey Business with cinnamon and banana chip topping
    Michelle S.

    What a hidden gem! The espresso flavor is outstanding. I came for the first time a couple of days ago and had to come back again today. I've had the brown sugar iced latte and the monkey business iced specialty drink with a warmed Almond croissant. Absolutely delicious. The croissant is nice and crisp and flaky on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. While ai was there, a staff member offered a sample taste of a ham and cheese croissant dish they were testing out. That also was delicious! I hope they bring it to the menu. The location itself is a smaller interior with seating outside on a covered portico outside the shop. There is a little refrigerated section for grab and go options as well as some yummy sounding food items on the lunch menu. The staff was very friendly both times I went. Highly recommend checking them out!

    Drinks and burritos

    Service was great and we found seating right away. However, there's not a ton of seats available. Just 4 tables I believe. I got a matcha latte and an egg sandwich. The matcha latte was made with ceremonial matcha, whole milk, and had a banana cream top. Very good drink. The sandwich was good but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again. Overall, I would be back for the drinks and maybe to try a pastry.

    Monkey Business
    Vincent M.

    Ape coffee is something I crave on a regular basis and it's because of their Monkey Business drink. This location is small, with to-go ordering only. Parking is much easier and the wait is shorter compared to their Orange location. The inside is sleek and tiny with really friendly service. Monkey Business 10/10 - perhaps one of the best banana coffees I've tried. The banana foam complements the coffee so well, with real banana flavor and a nice drizzle of caramel. This drink is pretty sweet but you can still taste the espresso. Highly recommend checking out Ape Coffee. Their matcha is also great as well. Overall great beverages all around.

    Incredible Ape Matcha - Oat Milk
    Juan G.

    First time trying Ape Coffee after following them for a long time, and I honestly didn't even know about this Placentia location -- a perfect grab-and-go spot. I ordered the Incredible Ape Matcha with oat milk, and it did not disappoint. Taste-wise: very banana-forward, super fresh, and not overly sweet -- just the right amount. Balanced, smooth, and easy to drink without feeling heavy or sugary. The space itself is very small, so it's definitely more of a to-go location. They do have three tables outside with six chairs total (two per table) if you want to enjoy your drink there. Service was super friendly and accommodating, especially as a first-time customer. I placed my order and had my drink in about 6 minutes, which is perfect if you're on the move. Overall, great vibes, quick service, and a solid stop if you're in the area for quality matcha or coffee. Will definitely be back.

    Monkey Business - banana foam on top and hint of cinnamon made it beautiful

    Christine helped us we both ordered the banana matcha, the matcha is smooth and light. Christine helped us choose since we didn't know what to get today. But my bestie has never tried this place so we finally got to go together yay. Love this cute coffee shop, the vibe is nice the employee's are friendly. They have a lot of items to choose from, pastries, food and delicious coffee and banana matcha. Thank you for helping us choose this delicious matcha we got it with oat milk. We will be back again Christine was so awesome and sweet, thank you for excellent customer service and our delicious banana matcha. Thank you Sanny for the recommendation on that :) Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha

    Went to ace hardware and I saw ape coffee in the shopping mall, but I'd go in and try it. I ordered a hot latte with half-and-half. Their service girls were very friendly and took my order promptly. It is a very small place with no seating inside only outside the latte was very good. I'll be back.

    Monkey Business , Incredible Ape Matcha , Golden Ape

    I called ahead to see if they served decaf coffee drinks, and they responded with yes they're able to serve all their drinks decaf. But when I go in they weren't able to serve most of the suggested drinks decaf. And then when asked to just have an iced decaf espresso with the same toppings as the cloud ape, they said they couldn't add that because it was a seasonal drink (it was just sweet cream with cacao powder). Overall the space was small and dark and the experience was not very pleasant.

    Monkey Business & strawberry matcha
    Sanny C.

    Seriously never was interested in banana coffee until I had it at Ape Coffee. I have been here a few times now. Their Monkey Business ALWAYS consistent. There was one time when I returned a 2nd time on the same day for more. My nephew kept praising the strawberry matcha. He really liked it. Recently, he even asked me to return to get it. So of course I took him lol They had cute merch for sale as well. I wanted to get it, but they only had shorts. I wanted sweatpants...boohoo. There was a discount as well. Huge parking lot Some seatings out front

    Monkey Business

    Friendly staff and creative drinks! I ordered the Tiramisu Latte and Monkey Business -- both were delicious. The Tiramisu Latte was sweet, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Monkey Business is a latte topped with banana cream foam, which added a fresh and unique twist that I really enjoyed. The shop is very small, so there's no indoor seating, but they do have a couple of tables right outside. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks, which was a plus. I'm excited to come back and try more from their fun and unique menu!

    grab & go sandwiches
    Nancy R.

    This coffee shop is in a relatively large plaza surrounded by other businesses. They have some outdoor seating, no indoor seating as the shop is pretty quaint. The tiramisu latte with almond milk has been by favorite thus far, but you really can't go wrong with the drinks. I've also had the snow monkey, cookie butter latte, chai and a simple vanilla iced latte. Their avocado toast was not the best, likely would not get again. The staff has been polite every visit, but the service does take a bit longer than expected most of the time.

    It is a small coffee shop w/ no seating/tables. Great for a quick grab and go! They have huge pastries available and can be toasted upon request. I enjoyed their Incredible Ape Matcha! It was so creamy and the banana cream was a fun topping. The guy working the register was so friendly and asking everyone how their day has been.

I feel like their milk ratio is higher than most places - which leaves the latte to taste "watered down" and the espresso or matcha gets drowned out by the milk. I have tried this place 4 times now and will be going elsewhere for my coffee & matchas. Inside seating is small BUT there are quite a few tables available with OUTLETS, which is helpful for doing laptop work, etc. They have a LOYALTY (points) system which is nice for working towards a free drink at least. They have quite a few different pastries - croissants, donuts (which are very yummy & fluffy), cheese danishes, cinnamon rolls, etc etc Service is usually pretty QUICK and friendly, which I appreciate.

You order at a kiosk, take a number, and go sit at a table (indoors or out) where your food will be delivered. We initially attempted to order at the counter but were ignored so we did the kiosk routine. I went with a prosciutto panini and a hot vanilla latte. The latte was average but good. The same could be said of the panini which, aside from the prosciutto, included arugula, garlic aioli, tomato, and mozzarella (it usually comes with roasted bell pepper but I asked to leave that ingredient off). The sandwich came with a pedestrian house salad; some greens with four grape tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. There is a huge free parking structure across the street which makes coming here easy. I thought lunch was okay but I wouldn't make it a priority to return.

    This is my 5-6th time here and Ive finally perfected my order!…read more Pros: To start off, today I got the Iced Vanilla Latte and it's my new go-to! It's incredibly delicious and perfect this us my second day in a row here. My friend usually gets a flavored Matcha which is great, but got a Peach barley tea and said it was refreshing. The service is good, they get the drinks out fast. The menu has unique specialty options aswell. There is a good amount of seating and it's a very welcoming shop. Cons: -The sizing is very small for the price. A plain vanilla latte is $6.40 which is a bit steep. However, I understand that most cafes are pretty pricey now a day. (With that being said this is one of the only places i'd spend my money on.) -I have tried some of their specialty lattes and they are extremely sweet(I would recommend getting less sweet if youre more of a espresso person) -Parking is pretty terrible apart from early mornings Overall: The pros overlook the cons for me and I love this coffee shop!

The coffee itself was decent, but I didn't find the flavor particularly unique or memorable. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I didn't find anything particularly special about the coffee itself.

The service is a bit slower than other tea shops, I think it's because each drink is made to order. The drink itself has a nicely balanced tea flavor!

They were doing a BOGO 1/2 off deal on their matcha drinks, so I tried the peach matcha first. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste any peach at all. It honestly felt a little gimmicky because if I didn't know it was supposed to be peach, I probably wouldn't have guessed it. For my second matcha, I got the jasmine matcha. I liked this one more because I could actually taste the jasmine tea. It was floral but also subtle and didn't overpower the matcha. That being said, I do think their matcha is on the lower quality side. I could see grains of matcha along the cup, and the drinks themselves were on the grainier side. The matcha also had a noticeable bitterness to it. I also ordered their peach oolong citrus tea. I wasn't able to adjust the sweetness, which I normally prefer to do with fruit teas. Fortunately, it wasn't too sweet, probably because of the amount of ice. I also wasn't able to adjust it to a lower ice level. I also didn't taste much citrus, so mostly tasted like a peach green tea from starbucks. Overall, this visit was a disappointment, especially since I enjoyed their Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte so much the first time. I would still come back for that drink, but I probably wouldn't order their matcha again.
