    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Very cozy and clean coffee shop with outdoor seating only. Customer service was excellent! Their menu is displayed on a tablet that you have to scroll to see the items, which makes it a bit different than other coffee shops where the menu is up in a wall or next to the register. I ordered the banana latte (can't remember the exact name) but that latte was so delicious!! I would not mind coming back here for this drink and try other drinks! I was left impressed!!

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    If you are in the area , you must stop here ! TRY THERE MATCHA OR COFFEE , you never regret any choice. The cinnamon touch on this banana match is delicious to try.

    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.

    Intimate dark gray moody coffee spot with no seating inside, but 4 cafe tables outside on their "patio" (which is basically a wide concrete sidewalk by the parking lot). You can order at the register, at a kiosk inside, or online. I ordered a basic hot vanilla with an extra double shot. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. It's a Friday morning and there's a constant flow of customers going in and out. I obviously didn't order the right beverage, because I can only give this coffee shop 3 stars. I'll need to come back and get one of their fun espresso drinks.

They had so many cake selections, plus pastries and drinks, which definitely makes me want to come back and actually spend more time there. Even though it was super busy, the service was impressively fast and efficient. One employee helped take my order and package everything up, and the cashier rang me up quickly, so the whole process was seamless and perfect when you're on a lunch break. The atmosphere felt very family-friendly, and despite how busy it was, the experience was still smooth. Parking is free, there's a small lot directly in front, but if that fills up, there's additional parking in the connected plaza, which makes it easy. I didn't get to try the cake but brother-in-law and sister said the cake was delicious. If you're in the Fullerton area and looking for a cute dessert spot with lots of options, this is definitely worth checking out!

    Oh my goodness!!!! This was the BEST CAKE EVER…read more I wanted a strawberry cake like their individual ones for after my daughter's dance recital (strawberry is her favorite). I was just planning to buy a few individual ones since it was the day before I needed it but the woman I spoke with said I could order a 6 inch for $32 which would feed 6-8 people. PERFECT! I was honestly a little skeptical since I ordered it the day before, but it was AMAZING. The pick up was so easy and it was boxed up well. They also gave me a little serving knife which was great. The cake was absolutely beautiful and most importantly it was delicious!! So light and fluffy and had an incredible amount of strawberry flavor without being too overly sweet. Everyone said it was the best cake they've ever had. I will be back for all of my future cakes.

The staff said to come earlier so we can try all the croissants as well. They were all sold out by 11, which is earlier than we expected.
