    We've both came across this place on yelp a few but times never actually came. Yesterday, we were in the area and decided why not. Firstly, they have a lot of parking. Inside is very minimal and clean. Service was good he was by himself so did take a little bit. But as soon as we got the drinks they had good flavor. If we're in the area again we'll come back.

    Quaint coffee shop across from Forest Lawn mortuary. Very clean, minimalistic and welcoming. My wife and I needed a change of scenery to get some work done and we decided on Bancone. Staff were friendly and informative. We ordered brunch and drinks. The drinks are very good. My wife got a latte and I got the matcha latte. Both were very good. Only one size is offered. The food was surprisingly good. Good portions and fresh ingredients. For a small coffee shop the presentation was very delightful. We will be returning.

    Black sesame oat latte

    Clean modern cafe with a variety of iced and hot drinks along with food items. Place was packed to the brim with students on laptops. I wasn't the target age group but I still enjoyed myself. Service was friendly. I ordered a mushroom toast and an iced black sesame oat latte and grabbed the only seat left. Entire cafe was as quiet as a library with soft whispering. The toast was covered in cream cheese and a pile of caramelized onions and mushrooms. Also had balsamic vinegar and basil. Came with a side of fries and salad which was an unexpected surprise. Eating crunchy toast surrounded by students being dead silent was a bit awkward but I really loved the flavors. Loved how caramelized they got everything creating a rich flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy and couldn't help but eat them even though I usually avoid fries. Salad had a light vinaigrette and was refreshing. The drink was good but way too sweet for me. I had to toss it halfway through. I will ask next time if I can have less sweetener. Nice place. Recommend if you want a quiet lunch. Free cookie with check-in!

    Cute little cafe in Cypress- they have a solid food menu with brunch, Korean food, and some sides. Their drink menu is extensive as well with coffee and non-coffee options. I really enjoyed both the food and drinks that I ordered, and would come back to try more. It's a smaller space so probably not ideal for large groups. I did the check-in offer but they forgot to give me the cookie- not a big deal tho. 4 stars- would come back if I was in the area!

    Back again & this time, I got to try their food and OMG let's just say they were so addicting! The truffle french fries were perfect to share & snack on--definitely a favorite! For someone with a low spice tolerance, the kimchi fried rice was still so yummy & rich in flavor. Their omelette also took me by surprise bc it's not only pretty but tasty too ~ For drinks, we wanted to try something new. We heard the hype about the biscoffee and it did not disappoint!! Best to sip on the cup first to taste the cream top! Their strawberry matcha is just as delectable especially mixed for the perfect strawberry-to-matcha ratio :-) It's only my second time here but I'm already in love with their menu and ambiance. Safe to say I'll be making more trips here!

    I love this spot! Since my first visit I've been obsessed, and it has definitely become one of my favorite places in OC to get matcha. All the drinks are delicious and the perfect sweetness. Also worth noting is the Black Sesame latte, which I'm sure all black sesame lovers will enjoy.

    This neat cafe is my new favorite hidden gem! I love how spacious and minimalist the interior is with the nice oak accents. Would be a cool place to hang out with a small group of friends. I ordered the avocado toast, kimchi fried rice, strawberry matcha latte, and tea tox lemon (hibiscus and lemon). Service was great and food came out quick! The presentation here is EVERYTHING! Everything was plated so nicely, adding to the overall experience and taste Kimchi fried rice was delicious and included spam chunks and a sunny side up egg. Avocado toast was nice and light! Cream cheese in between the avocado and bread was chef's kiss ‍ Last but not least, the drinks were really good! I really enjoyed the matcha latte as the strawberry puree was just perfectly sweet. Meanwhile, the tea tox drink surprised me in a nice way. Very strong since I think there's a ginger shot in there (?) Super glad to have stumbled upon this cafe, and would definitely visit again!

    I think Bancone used to be a Korean restaurant, so it's actually a bit bigger than most standard coffee shops nowadays. It's right across the street from Forrest Lawn in a superr quiet plaza. We discovered it a few months ago, and have been twice. It was pretty quiet both times we went, with some foot traffic (mostly people picking things up to go), and a handful of occupied tables inside and outside. It would be a VERY nice place to study/do some work. Both times I got the mushroom toast, and he's had the kimchi fried rice and Bancone omelette. Also had the matcha latte and Americano. All the food is pretty tasty! The mushroom toast is only lightly toasted, so the bread itself is still really soft and light, which to my surprise, I really enjoyed! One recommendation though-- is for the breakfast-like items to have more.. breakfast-like sides? The toast and omelette both came with a side salad and french fries. It was yummy, but just a little early to be eating salad and fries. His Americano was good, but he wished it was stronger. My matcha latte had a dark green film on top, so that's how I know it was actual matcha and not some pre-mixed powder. It was sweeter than I prefer, but that was probably my fault for not asking for easy sweet. Overall, we really enjoy the experience, the environment, and the service! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

    chocolate croissant and vanilla latte (a few sips taken)
    Timmy S.

    This coffee cafe is easy to find expecially if you are familiar with the City of Cypress; it's across the street from the main entrance of Forest Lawn right on Lincoln Blvd. It's part of a small plaza so there's plenty of parking. The interior is sleek and modern with large windows. While I was there mellow, jazz piano tunes were playing through the speakers. It has a quiet, comfortable vibe. They offer a variety of coffees, teas, and brunch-type foods. I ordered a chocolate croissant from their pastry case along with a hot vanilla latte. I wanted to enjoy it there so was told to sit wherever I wanted and it would be brought to my table. The friendly fellow working here delivered my order within a couple minutes. The vanilla latte had an even blend of vanilla and espresso flavor. It was a bit too hot for my tongue at first but was drinkable within five minutes. The chocolate croissant had plenty of chocolate inside. The warm croissant itself was fresh and buttery but soft and sort of squishy rather than crisp. It was still really good. On a second visit I got a hot hazelnut latte plus a cookie. The latte again took about five minutes to cool enough so I could drink it but had a vibrant, sweet hazelnut flavor which overshadowed the taste of coffee. I really liked it but it might have been too sweet for some folks. The raisin cookie was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I was told their pastry case items are outsourced. This is an excellent spot to grab some great coffee and small bites.

    Alright. Back for another review came in last week at 9 when they open for coffee and breakfast come to find out they don't serve food until 9:30 it's bad enough they opened at 9 for a coffee shop but 9:30 for food is annoying so. Sat there and waited and ended up being there for over an hour. Come back today 5/6 and THEYRE CLOSED!!! And a new business has already made its way in. I'm pretty upset given I found this place less than a month ago went twice and now it's gone. No place ever lasts in this location so I'm really hoping the next place will survive. RIP Biscoffee and delish breakfast croissant

    Great place to get together to have a bite and drink coffee/tea in this part of town. The standalone building is spacious, and the parking lot is plentiful, making it convenient for larger groups. The service is friendly and quick, ensuring you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The brunch menu is impressive, featuring both classic favorites and some specialty items that showcase Korean cuisine. Everything came out looking pristine and tasted fresh and clean, reflecting the care put into each dish. The inviting atmosphere made it easy for me to enjoy brunch with friends, and I appreciated how well the staff accommodated our group. I will definitely keep this café in my brunch rotation and recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience in the area. Overall, this café is a gem, and I look forward to returning to try more of their menu!

    Coffee Thursday ..

    We went to Cafe Bancone located in Cypress, CA. This place had a very unique menu with more options than just coffee. The building is very spacious with plenty of seating and a quiet space for studying. The cafe contains plenty of food options that are Korean inspired. Their coffee menu is very limited, but still carries very tasty options. We were definitely excited to see what Bancone had to offer. We ordered an iced Biscoff Latte, a latte style that has become one of Coffee Thursday's favorites! This drink was well made and was described as not the sweetest drink Bancone offers (which is good). The drink is creamy and milky, but infused with a bitter taste that blends with the delicious cookie butter. This location also adds cold foam to their drinks, which is always great for a little hint of sweetness. We also ordered their Einspänner, an iced latte with cold foam. All the sweetness usually comes from the foam, making the latte a less sweetened portion of the drink to perfectly balance the foam. However, the einspänner at Bancone is sweeter than what we are usually used to. It was not a bad taste, but very unexpected. It tasted more like a sweetened latte with cold foam on top. We dined with Kimchi Fried Rice. The plate was delicious and packed with so much flavor. It is a spicy meal, so keep that in mind!!!! This location is worth trying despite not having plenty of coffee options, they still have matcha, smoothies, and other types of drinks. The food is also worth trying! Let us know what you tried!

    I really needed this meal and pit stop this day. I was early for an event across the street and needed a quick lunch and a coffee. The katsu was very crispy and tasty and the latte was so sweet and excellent. I'm glad I chose this spot for my quick break.

I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!
