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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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 - Signature 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

$20 for a coffee and avocado toast is crazy but it was delicious! Staff were friendly and service was fast. read more

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

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

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

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

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

I find myself constantly making my way back to this store because of the incredible ape matcha. I absolutely love how they have perfected this drink. Not only is the food good, but the workers are so friendly. They are always super nice and I've had good experiences with them every time I've been. They play the best music too! I love this little coffee shop, they have very good pastries and food items. Good stuff all around. 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

I went for my first time yesterday and I ordered the Snow Monkey. WOW it was so good! It was nice and creamy and not too sweet. The coffee was nice and strong and not burnt. I'm so happy we have a nice local coffee shop. I will be going back! read more

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

spent $16 on two matcha lattes and both tasted like WATER. With so many coffee shops nearby and Ape having so much hype I had much higher expectations of Ape Placentia. The orange location is much better and has actual tasting latte's. Maybe I was a one off order, but still spending $16 on two drinks and BOTH tasting like oat milk and water with little matcha flavor was disappointing to say the least. read more

Layla was the sweetest!! She was wonderful explaining the menu to me, since it was my first time. She made the Monkey Business Latte and it was great. Highly recommend! read more

I was at the ACE store and saw little hidden gem in YL. I'm so glad I went in ordered the Ham Crescent sandwich and Americano. It was Perfect and WONDERFUL!

Thank you APE CAFE!! read more

Expensive, but very good coffee. Try this place out if you like to explore coffee places. Worth the trip!

Really good coffee and the cream is perfect. The banana flavor is the best I've tried

Coffee top-tier Food and service meet the high bar for this tea and coffee snob. You'd be a fool not to try js....

I always get my coffee here before or after work and tastes consistently good! next time I have to give their pastries a try

Super yummy latte! the foam was perfect! and the worker on the register was very kind she made small talk with all the customers and was super patient and positive:) read more

Updating my review on their food, it is absolutely amazing. I've heard their banana bread and Nutella croissant and they're so delicious as well as their everything but the bagel cream cheese croissant. But this right here takes the cake. The spinach and artichoke danish is absolutely my fav! If you're in for something savory I recommend this! read more

With all the hype surrounding this place I found it to be very underwhelming especially in terms of service. Apparently adding caramel to the Ape Matcha was weird according to one of the baristas. Ain't one to complain but.. this is the first time I've been somewhere where i felt like i was intruding lol. not a very welcoming or friendly environment the drink was decent, i like the caramel syrup added but i didn't get a whole lot considering i paid extra for it but oh well. I like the overall flavor of the cream with the matcha. took advantage of the 3 of $15. Overall I probably wouldn't come back just because of the poor service. ‍ read more

They were out of items for a Mothers Day order and comp'd replacements even when I tried insisting to pay, so yeah, I'd give 10 stars for this. read more

I always like going to low key, whole in the wall coffee shops that have a creative twist on coffee. This place is exactly that. Great coffee and pastries are served here. Just be patient because they do get busy sometimes and as of now they don't have a way to order ahead. Additionally, this coffee shop is not ideal if you're looking for a place to study because they only have outdoor seating. Not a problem for me but something to be aware of. read more

Waited for over 20 minutes. Everyone's drink was called out if they were waiting outside. I was waiting outside and no one bothered to tell me my drinks were ready. The banana cream is good, but the coffee tastes sour. read more

Love ape coffee and ecstatic when I found out they're opening another location closer to us! This location is cozy and perfect for when you're on the go!
