    Located on the side of the east library it's a great friendly place. If you're in a rush this isn't a good place. Parking is simple and convenient. Service and food was good, I'll come back.

    Hello everyone I've been DYING to tell everyone about this hidden gem I found! I'm always going to the library when I'm in town for my Orthodontic appointments because I have to pass time due to me always coming down from Lancaster on the train. So I was hungry and wanted to eat before heading in and I noticed they had a cafe and I was skeptical at first but when I walked in I was amazed to see so much stuff available. So many snacks and drinks and other stuff like pens and notebooks you know writing and study materials. There is also a very good variety of a menu for cooked foods and drinks. I was in the mood for a smoothie that day and so I came across the berry one and surprise surprise you can also create your own smoothie which I love that as an option. The lady is very nice and answered my questions about what comes in the smoothies due to me not trying to eat a lot of dairy she had dairy free options for Milk which I appreciated. I definitely will be coming here every chance I get. It's a great study place due to it being so calm and peaceful. There is a fountain in there and for me I definitely love the sound of water while in any calm environment. Til next time Cafe

    For being connected to the library this place was clean Basic little coffee shop with coffee, juice, etc. A few baked goods and a cold case with bottled/canned stuff. Chips and cookies and stuff. I just got a strawberry smoothie and it wasnt terrible. It was light, like its not mixed with ice cream or anything. Nice cute little spot, hope it stays clean and whatnot.

    They have some tasty treats on their menu, from Espressos   pastries,  ice blended drinks   to fruits and vegetables

    The cafe has a very personable and welcoming vibe. Their menu includes a wide variety of pastries, ice coffees, smoothie drinks ( The coffee drinks are high quality, handcrafted and pretty well made.)

    Update: Got the roast beef sandwich and fruit today...both good! And the mayo package in the roast beef sandwich was Kraft brand which is awesome; I have a thing for mayo and I hate when they have off brand mayo in sandwiches Finally a place to get something to eat/drink at the library! Don't have to drive out anymore! Only got coffee but other things look yummy too! They even have Korean cup ramen!! Lol! Def getting one of those next time!

    Easily the best chicken bowl I've had, maybe in my life. Excellent protein serving size. Very clean place. Excellent prices.

    We got the matcha cloud flight (comes with 4) with ube, banana, strawberry and sticky rice. The ube…read moreand banana were super flavorful but the strawberry didn't have as strong of a flavor. The sticky rice one was just normal matcha with pieces of sticky rice in it which I don't think I'd get again. They had a ton of other flavors I want to come back to try! Also got the egg sandwich and ube mochi brownie, both of which were so good! Bread was buttery and the egg salad was so flavorful. Ube mochi was flavorful and I liked the texture. I expected a chocolate brownie with ube but it's more like a nian gao (Chinese rice cake) texture and no brownie/chocolate in it. Forgot to take a photo of it but it was really good!

    Hadn't been in a while, so decided to stop by after grabbing lunch nearby…read more I got a double matcha and from first glance, everything looked good. However, upon drinking it, it tasted like the foam that was on top of the drink had been sitting out for too long. It didn't quite tasted spoiled yet, but also didn't taste "right"/fresh; something was really off about it. A bit disappointing honestly, in comparison to my previous visits in past years. It feels like the quality has dropped and/or I just visited on an off day. It was also incredibly loud in here, the music was way too loud and it wasn't a full house. People couldn't hear their orders being called and it lead to a weird clump of people just lingering around wondering where their drinks were. And unless you're seated/have a table, you're kind of stuck awkwardly hovering around the cafe to wait for your order. There isn't really a space to wait at. There's a ton of tables packed inside a small space, which is nice, but also makes for a weird atmosphere for customers who are waiting for their drinks for take out/can't get a table. There is not much to comment on service as you order yourself on kiosks then just pick up your drink. Not sure if I'd return; maybe for another drink if I'm in the area but I think I personally have other spots I prefer a bit more for the taste/quality.

Nobody ever makes my order the same every time. My husband has been more adventurous and has tried different items from the menu and he also says the coffee hasn't disappointed. BUT, ultimately, the curbside option is why we keep coming back. With two toddlers, being able to call and them bring my coffee to my car, saves me the unbuckling and wrangling stress. This is me being a little picky, but they'd be top tier if they had an app. The website version is ok but it doesn't always remember my last order.

I ended up ordering the pistachios clous. And it was so good. The vibe inside was very chill, i would have stayed longer but they were closing. I enjoyed the drink on our 1hrs drive back home, savoring it. parking was ok. enough space inside and it was clean. FYI, their restroom was unavailable. which was really a bummer because my hubbs needed to use it. otherwise it was a cozy nice spot *thumbs up*

The bread and cakes here are so, so incredibly delicious, and I'm a huge fan. We stopped by that day and bought some pastries, and seriously, every single one of them was so fresh and amazing. They make the absolute best bread and cakes! My mom also ordered a coffee--a hot Americano--but that was a bit on the sour side, so it wasn't really our thing. Aside from that, the interior is cute and pretty, the shop is spotless, all of the staffs are super friendly, and above all, every single pastry and cake is just so delicious. I love it. One thing, though: since people said it's located in Fullerton, I thought it would be close to the Fullerton Hannam Chain or H Mart that we always go to. But turns out, we had to drive another 20 minutes to get there.
