    Fresh spring rolls (meat)
    Jeremy S.

    I've been meaning to visit the Fullerton Library Cafe for a while. I was impressed with their wide variety of breakfast, lunch, and Vietnamese cuisine selections. (This cafe even serves pho.) I had two fresh spring rolls (meat) ($3.99/each). These were indeed cooked fresh. The contents inside the spring rolls included pork, noodles, lettuce, and a thin fried egg roll. These made for fine and filling snacks. I asked for chopsticks and dipped the spring rolls in their sauce provided. It was a mix of sweet, tangy, and nutty flavors. The ambience was enjoyable and relaxing. I brought a newspaper from the library and read it while waiting for the spring rolls. Radio music played in the background, and sunlight shined through the windows. I will definitely come back again to support. Their diverse food is affordable, and I can find some relaxing time to read a book or the newspaper.

    chia 'pudding'
    Rob B.

    I love that this is here for visitors to the library. I wanted to grab something healthy and get lost in a good book for a few hours. The ambience is great. Nice comfy seats, quiet place to work or read. I ordered the green turmeric smoothie and the chia pudding. Lemme back up and say there are great prices for everything on the menu. That said, I loved my smoothie but the chia pudding is what brings my review score down. Anyone that knows chia pudding knows it's not a quick fix. The chia seeds are usually soaked hours in advance or overnight at the least to thicken the liquid and make it a pudding. That's not what happened here. I was given the cup, with the fruit and seeds mixed in with granola on top. This was more of a drink than a pudding. You can't make chia pudding on the spot and I should've known by the time the cashier was taking. I'd certainly come back for anything else tho.

    Great service and food! The perfect spot to visit after spending a few hours at the library. They have an expansive menu and fair prices. Also! A plus for have a vegan/vegetarian menu!

    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.

    Berry Smoothie

    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

    Strawberry smoothie
    Ryane O.

    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
    Hoang T.

    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.

    Finally made it over to Qamaria Coffee in Fullerton and really enjoyed this place!…read more First off, the cafe itself is beautiful. Really cool decor, plenty to look at, and the pastry case immediately had me wanting to order way more than I needed. I tried Turkish coffee for the first time and that stuff is STRONG. If you need a serious caffeine boost, this is definitely the move. I also tried the iced Qamaria Latte and iced Pistachio Latte. Both were good, but the pistachio was easily my favorite. Creamy, slightly sweeter, and just more my style. The surprise of the visit was the strawberry dragon fruit refresher. I almost didn't order it because I was there for coffee, but I'm glad I did. Super refreshing and I'd absolutely get it again. For food, DO NOT skip the honeycomb. They warm it up and drizzle it with honey, and each little section has cheese inside. Easily one of my favorite things I tried. The chicken pastry was another surprise and ended up being incredible. Finished with the mango cheesecake because I pretty much can't say no to anything mango. Really fun cafe experience and I'm glad I stopped in. Definitely coming back!

    I love this cozy little coffee shop that is great to meet with other people to study or even go by…read moreyourself to LOCK in. I've come here on July 4th and the service was even still good late at night for a quick coffee/dessert! I've also come here to trip plan with friends and it was so easy to get stuff done. My favorite is the pistachio latte, and the normal size for a hot is a large, and the normal size for an iced is still really big!

    Ladies and gentleman we have ourselves another 5 star gem!…read more This spot is solid! Parking is street parking but free. Its in a busy street and a bit far from the freeway. The space is super picturesque so come ready to pose. Every little space has a theme that feels a bit different. You can enjoy your tea with a fairy vibe, English vibe, outdoor vibe, grandmas' yard vibe, kids like vibe or coffee shop vibe haha this spot has it all. Come alone or come with friends. The outdoor area has a good amount of shades spots that block the sun and its heat. The coffee menu is unique and delicious. The drinks are really well thought out. They have a few syrups made in-house. I tried their pistachio latte and it was perfection. It has little pieces of pistachio in it and so every sip has a bit of it. I had the bulgogi panini and I wasn't sure what to expect but it surpassed anything I could imagine that panini would be. Whoever came out with this combo is a genius. You must try it! Overall, I will be back. Even though I live a bit far , this spot is totally worth the drive.

    This was actually my first time studying in a cafe by myself, and I really enjoyed it! My mom and I…read moreeach got a drink and a panini, then she left to do some errands. I stayed for three hours, and I ended up asking for two hot water refills for my tea. My seat was so soft and plush, I never felt restless. Plus, the music was the perfect background noise for maintaining focus. Even the sandwich was light on my stomach, so I didn't get a food coma. All in all, I was very comfortable and very content. The ONLY reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5... parking was really hard! Maybe my mom and I were naive, but we were shocked by all the cars on a Thursday at 1:30pm. Even the nearby library was full. My mom made me get out and order first, so I'm not quite sure where she parked... anyway... I'll end by saying again that the back garden is adorable!

The royal milk tea was decent but not as flavorful as I had hoped. Since I had asked for less sweetness, that may have reduced the flavor. I did enjoy the bagel as it had fresh lox. The capers were a lovely garnish since they definitely enhanced the flavors from the cream cheese and lox. The cafe is quite cozy with its homey structure. It's quite inconspicuous if driving past the cafe, but as we walked toward it, we noticed customers using their patio. We were greeted as we walked up to order using the kiosk. A few of the tables have handwritten notes underneath clear glass. I noticed many heartfelt messages that sparked my imagination as to how the writers must've felt. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with chatter from local customers who seemed to know the owners well. We had also played a card game after eating, so this cafe is good for that as well. The owners were friendly and even took our plates and cups once we were finished. There's very limited parking right next to the cafe, so I had to make use of residential streets. However, it's worth making a trip here to try this coffeehouse. Also, It's interesting how they open early at 7 am per Google Maps. I usually don't see cafes opening that early, but this is a good tidbit of information for the future.
