My wife has loved this place for a long time and got me on board a couple years ago. It's a cool little spot, not super huge, but tables are spread out. You order at the counter and then they bring you the food, which is usually really quick. Food is delicious, only ever had breakfast here tho. All in all I highly recommend this place. read more

Monkey Business Cafe - Breakfast Bowl! $16.90 - Cafes Near Me - Fullerton, California

Glad I found this place, was trying to drop things off and this is down the street from Amazon/costco. This place works as a fast food joint. You order first and then find your own seat. We ordered the chilaquiles and breakfast burrito. I have finally found a good chilaquiles around the area. Didn't add any protein, it was just good as it is. My husband wants to try something else because he thought the place was good. Burrito was just ok. The coffee had a cinnamon taste to it so we prolly won't buy another cup of coffee. To get a refill on coffee and water, you have to go up to the register every single time. Water cups are small too. Which leads to a tip. You tip when you pay, but if you get them a decent tip and then you get no service? What's the point if you have to do everything yourself. read more

Monkey Business Cafe - Chilaquiles - Cafes Near Me - Fullerton, California

We visited on a Sunday morning around 9:30am. The Chilaquiles were 10/10. Not crowded and quiet environment.

Food is healthy and yummy. Everyone is so kind. Love it! Love stopping by when I'm in the area

The young staff are attentive and keep your coffee cup filled. Besides that, the food is delicious! I've only had two items here - a skinny omelette kind of dish (I don't remember the name) and the chilaquiles twice. I highly recommend the chilaquiles. I've had MANY chilaquiles dishes all over SoCal, so far this is my favorite. My boyfriend has had the chorizo, egg, potato burrito and another dish (I don't remember!) but he loved both of them. Excellent service, excellent food read more

Everyone should support this local shop. Not only do they have really delicious food but, their coffees and lattes are very tasty! They need more people to try their homemade dishes full of wonderful flavors. The establishment is very clean and peaceful. The servers are genuine. They are there to serve you with care. I ordered their chilaquiles and a chai tea. Was very happy with the food's temperature, taste, and the serving size. Bravo, Monkey Business! read more

The red Chilaquiles here are delicious! Definitely recommend. All to support a great cause.

I came here with my friend who raves about the chicken tortilla soup. I had the tuna melt with tater tots. It's called the monkey melt. The sandwich was on a nicely grilled sourdough bread with cheese on it. They put two types of cheese on the tuna and fresh tomato. The tuna itself was flavorful, but a little drippy. They put a yummy lemony salt on the tots. The tater tots were nice and hot. My friend had the chicken tortilla soup. It looked delicious. The salsa that they give you is fantastic. The ambience is a cutely decorated restaurant with a monkey theme and nice murals on the wall. The neighborhood surrounding the restaurant is a very quaint Fullerton neighborhood. Now for the service... we were greeted at the door by a sweet young lady named Mercedes. She was attentive and friendly. The person at the counter who took our order was an older lady. She was grumpy and unhelpful. read more

Fresh quality food. Great variety and service was good. Ambiance and vibe is fun and inviting.

Hate to say something awful about a place with a great cause, but if I'm spending over $20 on a breakfast, I should be able to eat it. The hash browns were so oily it leaked through the takeout container. The cheese in my breakfast sandwich was not there, primarily bc it was burnt so much you couldn't recognize it. The bread of the sandwich, was rubbery and hard to bite through it was so over done. It was pretty much awful and I'm really sad about it since I was starving! Go for the cause, not the food. read more

Well when we arrived we were greeted,, they gave us menu's then said it was self seating.. the space is small but there is also seating outside. once we found a table inside we looked over the menu. The menu is rather basic. We decided what we wanted to order, but we had to go back to the register and place our order..the food arrived...we had ordered two basic pancakes...the pancakes were cold and they tasted like they have been sitting there for a while. There was no whipped butter. They only had the butter in foil wrap. I tried to make the best of it "I'll let you be your own judge" we also ordered the vegetarian omelette with spinach and ricotta cheese that also was "VERY" Bland.. but if you're into food that doesn't have much "EXCITEMENT " this is your place read more

The So Cal Breakfast Burrito was delicious. Next time I will ask for well done hash browns, because mine were under cooked and I like the crunch of a well done hash brown. Their red salsa was good and definitely added flavor. I ordered by phone to pick-up to go. Helpful staff and my burrito was bagged and ready when promised. I live close and plan to go again and eat in to try more of their food items. read more

Neat little restaurant tucked away. It makes you feel at home the vibes are pretty and colorful. You order and pay than sit down. The parking is not ideal very few spots but you can park on the streets. The service was super quick! The chilaquiles were so good I would definitely come back!. read more

Food was fire! I personally ordered the so-called burrito. You got thick cut bacon, plenty of avocado, and delicious hash browns. The only complaint I had was that the salsa that it came with was a bit watery for me. My brother ordered the outlaw burger. He said it was great. He let me have some of the tater tots and I really enjoyed the seasoning they put on it. The chilaquiles came out looking beautiful. Nice amount of avocado on top. Each item came out to either $15-16. I had positive experience here for my first time. read more

Monkeys Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite places to dine. The service here is exceptional--staff members are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about your dining experience. Whether it's your first visit or you're a regular, they make you feel right at home. The food is simply outstanding. Every dish I've tried has been made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the quality in every bite. From hearty breakfast options to their delicious lunch plates, the variety on the menu caters to all tastes. Portions are generous, and everything is beautifully presented. You can tell that a lot of thought and care goes into preparing each dish. The ambiance is another reason why I keep coming back. The cafe has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot to catch up with friends, work remotely, or just enjoy a peaceful meal. It's clean, well-kept, and the decor adds to the overall cozy vibe. If you're looking for a place that offers great food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment, Monkeys Cafe is a gem worth visiting! read more

Amazing food tried this place when I went to Disneyland with the family nothing was disappointing. Service was excellent ambiance was casual. Worth stopping again when I'm in town. read more

This place was packed! Which I can understand for a holiday Monday. The set up is very cozy. Some patrons were even making water-color art while eating and talking. It was cute to witness. Parking is limited so carpool if you can. I got the breakfast bowl and my sister got the SoCal burrito. I wasn't able to get pictures of the food but they have photos of a ton of their dishes near the cashier. I 100% recommend the breakfast bowl if you want something breakfast-y but not traditional. I would skip on the SoCal burrito as it's nothing special. I would come here again if I was in the area. There are lots of cool places near it. read more

Came here around 9:00am on a Monday and the restaurant was empty. We were immediately given menus and told we could sit anywhere we would like There were many options on the menu that looked good, but we decided to get Roy's Ricotta Pancakes and the SoCal Burrito. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The lemon creme fraiche was delicious, especially when paired with the ricotta. I only had a few bites of the SoCal Burrito but it was packed with flavor and even better with the salsa This was a nice place to stop for a casual breakfast while in Fullerton read more

This is a dishonest establishment. I ordered food from the menu for my family and the menu price was less than the price on my receipt. When I brought it to the attention of the cashier, she basically said her manager configured the new prices in their system and she can't honor the menu price, which was $2 less. She then asked if I want to just cancel my food. So instead of honoring the menu price, which was clear, she suggested I cancel my order altogether and refused to change the price to match the advertised menu price. I understand that costs are increasing, but I feel it's wrong to charge a customer a higher price than what is on their menu. I ordered in person at the restaurant. If you want to increase your prices, at least take the time to update your menu price as well. This is false advertisement and it's wrong. I won't even mention the price from their online menu, which is also way less. It shows this establishment has hiked their prices up substantially in the last year or two. We won't be going back to this dishonest establishment. read more

I went to Monkey Business with my daughters today and the food and service were amazing! The restaurant is so well maintained and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the green chilaquiles and they were perfectly made. My daughters had the breakfast burrito which they loved as well! Oh and they have amazing iced coffee and matcha! I will definitely be back to visit again soon! Thank you monkey business! read more

A good place in Fullerton to grab a quick breakfast. I heartily recommend tasting the incredibly soft and delicious pancakes. I had to try the chilaquiles because I had heard they were excellent here, and they weren't bad at all. They should, in my opinion, concentrate on making substitutions simpler. For example, I wanted to swap out two of the pork sides in a plate for chicken, but they insisted that I couldn't, even though doing so meant eliminating two additional meat options. To be honest, their suggestion to swap them out for fruit didn't seem to make sense. However, aside from that, speedy service and a delicious breakfast. read more

Stumbled upon this place and I'm so happy we did! It's so quiet looking on the outside but was popular and fun inside! Fun music playing if that's your thing! You walk up to the counter to order and then find your seat with a number so they know where to bring your food. We got Chilaquiles and Berries n Cream waffles. The cream and berries were incredible! The waffles - Meh! But not bad! The Chilaquiles were amazing all around though. read more

I ordered take out from Monkey Business Café, and the food was honestly very delicious. I'm usually not a big fan of vegetables and tend to be picky, I wanted to go all in and really taste the freshness for myself. I ordered the breakfast bowl, and I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the tater tots were some of the best I've had in a long time. I'm already planning to return soon and try more of their menu. Now that I've also learned more about Monkey Business Café's mission and values, I feel even better about supporting them. Knowing that they use produce grown at our Arboretum and that they help train and support at-risk youth makes the food feel even more meaningful. It feels good to support a place that not only serves fresh, quality meals but also contributes positively to the community and the environment. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. read more

My partner and I eat here pretty regularly and I have loved the ambiance and the food since day one. More recently I've noticed a change in the attitude of head of house and the food. Today we got served two burnt pancakes. Burnt to the point where I'm not sure what to say. I flipped over both pancakes and it just worse. I love the cause that this place has and I always appreciate the servers but there is nothing that makes me want to be back after this. read more

No monkey business going on here! We've driven past Monkey Business Cafe for years now but never got around to trying it until a few weeks ago. Pretty delicious and very reasonably priced! We tried the Javi's breakfast sandwich and the banana walnut pancakes, both of which were quite tasty. The pancakes were my fave - huge and fluffy and good banana flavor. Parking can be limited in the dedicated lot, but street parking is available. Service is friendly and food comes out quick! I read that they focus on hiring foster and at-risk teens and youths, which is a great cause! read more

I had a brunch with my girls and honestly the service was not it. The girl taking our order had some attitude and was not happy looking. Our food got to us quick actually and was divine. The breakfast burrito was probably my favorite and the breakfast sandwich was really good, I love the salsa that the burrito came with- perfect amount of spice! The servers kept checking on us but honestly it was too much and felt rushed out. We would probably come back just for the burrito but order to go. read more

Super cool breakfast spot, especially if you're looking for some classic breakfast options that feel better than just eating at a Denny's.
