THEY DO NOT WASH THIER SALAD GREENS! THRIPS! Thrip bugs were in the Berry salad (no avocado added chicken) I ordered. I had eaten about half of the salad by the time I noticed. I cried puked I was in complete disbelief there were these tiny bugs in my salad that could FLY!! It was a horror movie in real life. I called to let them know what happened and the girl that answered the phone didn't seem to really care she just told me to call back on Wednesday when the manager was in which was 3 days away. Truly this was the final straw. Really the type of thing that tests your character . read more

Our first visit to this restaurant was for the brunch with sister. I'd describe it as offering a Spanish-style meal with a diverse range of options. We opted for the Chilaquiles and Breakfast Skillet, sharing to savor both. The taste and portion size were excellent--we couldn't finish all the food we ordered. The coffee was freshly brewed, and the service was outstanding. While we ordered at the counter, they brought the food to our table and frequently checked in to refill our coffee. Their homemade hot sauce was a delightful addition, complementing our meals perfectly. Despite its humble ambiance, this place exudes a nice atmosphere, and I definitely plan to return. read more

What a cute cafe!! I am a chilaquiles-aholic and the ones here were excellent! Service was very friendly. You order at the counter and they bring out your food. Place was pretty empty when we went and service was quick. Parking was a littel strange because a delivery truck was taking up most of the spots, but we figured it out. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Will be back again soon! read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots to order from. But today wasn't a great experience. My doordash order was delivered, and as i was eating my chorizo/egg tacos, i felt something sharp in my mouth. I pulled a METAL STAPLE out of my mouth. I was shocked. I called the restaurant and told the person who answered the phone. He apologized and said he'll speak to those who staple the bags and suggested i reach out to doordash for a refund. Doordash did refund me but i wanted to ensure the business is fully aware of this. read more

Fantastic little cafe in downtown Fullerton! Plenty of seating indoors, and was not overly full on a Sunday at 11am, which was surprising. It's a self seat, order at the counter type of spot, a little weird but it works. We ordered the SoCal Burrito and the traditional breakfast. So all burrito was hashbrowns, eggs, cheese bacon, and a healthy amount of avocado, and trust, they do not skimp on the avocado! It was delicious! The traditional breakfast was a waffle, eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns. All perfectly cooked and made fresh to order . Bacon was crispy and sausage was juicy! Highly recommend this little spot! read more

Venturing around Fullerton for a nice brunch spot and will definitely be adding this one to the mix. My partner and I came in on a busy, Saturday morning despite the rain. When we arrived, there was ambient, oldie-but-goodies music playing which made the atmosphere very comfy and enjoyable! The cafe has spacious indoor seating area with lots of patrons already enjoying their meals. We were met with a waitress who gave us 2 menus and kindly told us to find a table and return to the counter when we were ready to order. The tables here had lots of seating options ranging from 2 seaters near the edges of the cafe to 5-7 seating options in the center. The chairs themselves had a wide seat to it which was very comfortable and accommodating! I decided on the breakfast bowl ($14) and hot vanilla latte ($5) and my partner chose the breakfast skillet ($15) and cappuccino ($5) totaling $47.87 with tip. Overall, I would rate the food as yummy, but not stellar like I would rate other brunch spots like Snooze or Eggspresso; where I think the food really shines at these locations. However, we literally got our food and drinks in less than 5-10 minutes and the service was really nice and the staff was very kind which makes it worth it if you're in the area to check out this cafe! read more

Haven't been here in a while so I figured I'd grab something to-go for breakfast. This breakfast spot is a cute and homey place which I hear also gives back to the community. I was really craving chilaquiles and luckily this place just that with their most popular dish. I also grabbed a socal breakfast burrito for my partner. I placed my order through their online ordering system which made the picking up process super easy. They had the food ready on time and pick up was without a hitch. The breakfast burrito was huge to say the least! It came fully stuffed with hashbrowns, eggs, meat, and avocado. It also came with a side of salsa that was delicious. As for the chilaquiles, while it was loaded with a handful of toppings, ordering it for takeout is a mistake on my part as it arrived extremely soggy. I'd definitely come back though to have those in person because flavorwise it was still very tasty! read more

This spot is right near my work. I walk here. I've had several items which are pretty yummy. But I've found my favorite spot for the best salad. Salads are expensive and places usually skimp on the ingredients. Not here. They use delicious salad greens-not your basic tasteless iceberg, walnuts, berries and cheese crumble. It is extra for the protein but well worth it. I like to have matcha but a lot of places don't have matcha without sugar. Here you can get that. Creamers are limited as well as sweeteners. I prefer mine with coconut milk and stevia and they have neither. Nonetheless, I still enjoy it. Now overall cost at this place is on the higher side so come ready to pay up. The thing that I take away is that they are a charity who assists young adults and I believe they are the ones who are employed. I love that! Service is as expected from a bunch of youth. I've learned to overlook it and just approach nicely with minimal expectation of reciprocity haha. Just being real . Definitely dig the street vibe though, very chill. Theme is consistent with the name and they have their own merch with some other on consignment. Legit spot with an overall spirit of giving. Get there. And get there early cuz they got lives in the evenings. Not open. read more

We can here because we were visiting in the area and needed a place for breakfast. Since this place was close to our hotel and had decent reviews we decided do try it out. The breakfast burrito was pretty standard but the cheese wasn't melted in so it was a warm burrito with cold cheese. The chorizo tacos lacked flavor, the beans seemed to be unsalted and lacked seasoning, but the potatoes were decent. The waffle didn't taste like it was made with homemade batter, it was flimsy and tasted like Krusteez batter (which I love so while I didn't mind the flavor, I was hoping the batter would taste like it was made from scratch like it does at many other breakfast spots). The cream used on the waffle was good, the fruit was fresh, and they give you two waffles so you can easily share this if you want. Overall, staff is nice but the food is bland...gets the job done but nothing that really stands out. read more

Food // I was on the hunt for some breakfast on a weekend morning in the Fullerton area and decided that it was finally Monkey Business Cafe's turn. I ordered the So-Cal Burrito and it was just okay. It had a lot of hash browns, some (seemed like one or two pieces) bacon, eggs, and few slivers of avocado. It was tightly wrapped in a hot tortilla and served with a side of salsa. To be honest, all the flavor was in the salsa, and without it I may of struggled to get it all down. Others in my group ordered the traditional breakfast, and the waffles. Everyone said that their food was well made and filled them up, but it was kind of just like something you could of made at home. Location // Parking is tight, there are a few spaces around the building, but your best bet is to park on the street. There is also some parking structures not too far away if you are planning to walk around Downtown Fullerton afterwards. Notes // If someone invited me to eat here, I'd come back. MBC gets a solid 3.5 rounded up because it's the holiday season. read more

Ok first off, this place is so cute and inviting and their purpose is so great. We love what they stand for. We were greeted with smiles and the line moved very quickly. We decided to eat outside and although we were hesitant about it because we thought we'd be forgotten, we definitely were not. The food came out super quick and it was hot and steaming! My husband got the chili cheese fries and I got the chilequiles, both were great! He got hot chocolate and I got a vanilla latte both were also great! We Would definitely come here again! read more

What a fun find. Arrived early and it wasn't crowded and the music wasn't too loud. Went up to put our order in and food was ready quickly.

My sister and I were ready to eat! We decided on this cute cafe/breakfast joint as there were a ton of reviews. We ordered: Turkey Club + Biscuits and Gravy ($24) The service was great and they were being good with following Covid guidelines. Our food actually came out in like - 12 minutes. We were also eager to eat in our cars. The serving size of both meals were huge! The biscuits came with (requested extra-crispy) hashbrowns and it was good. The gravy reminded me of a chowder and I didn't think it was salty enough but that might be a personal thing. The biscuit wasn't as flaky as I was expecting but it was still good. The turkey club was sooo yummy. The bread was toasted, the veggies fresh, and lots of turkey and I think bacon. The fries were great - they weren't super crispy but soft and flavorful. I didn't think we would consume everything - but we cleaned the box. Great time and great customer service - I will be back. read more

10/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! From beginning to end the experience was wonderful! Met here for my birthday with my dearest friend! She's FABULOUS you'd love her! So the wait staff is WELCOMING and FRIENDLY. The atmosphere is GREAT! They even gave me two red velvet cookies for my birthday !! The murals on the wall are BEAUTIFUL & COLORFUL! It's a very spacious restaurant. The seating is plentiful, the decor gives homey welcoming feeling, and THE MUSIC!!!!! My vocabulary isnt vast enough to describe how good the music was (imho ‍) It's just loud enough to hear and make you wanna dance, while STILL low enough you can have a conversation without yelling over it. I couldn't figure out if I wanted to eat or dance! Eating won out by a hair . Let's get into it....food is simple and TASTY! No weird toppings or ingredients. I kept it simple and had a LETTICE WRAPPED bacon cheeseburger on this first visit, which simply means.....I'LL BE GOING BACK! Burger DELISH! Ordered perfectly cooked tater tots. The ONLY thing is they could have used some seasoning. Otherwise GREAT taste! They season the patty and everything . My friend had the turkey club and said it delicious as well. You MUST GET the red velvet cookie for dessert! I have no words except So in short, GO! You WILL NOT be disappointed! Have the cookie for dessert and thank me later ! Provecho/Bon Appétit read more

July 25 10-11 am I was so excited to bring my family here. I've been here when this business made deli sandwiches and was not yelping as I should. I order Chocolate Chip pancakes , Chilquiles with scrambled eggs and a side piece of breast, Pulled pork burrito, 2 drinks and a water. We were served our food separately the pancakes came fist. We looked at each other and went with the flow and all shared. now those were delicious full of flavor. 2 huge pancakes we did not even finish them. 5 minutes later the burrito came lacked flavor horribly we added tons of salt. The biggest disappointment of my visit was I never recieved my food I ordered. In which was Chiliquiles green sauce with chicken. Instead my order was forgotten !!!!!! I asked what happened no one had an answer. I wanted my money back however, I had a few bites from my plate mind you waiting on my chicken! Chicken arrived it was cold not fresh sliced. I was highly embarrassed as i always have 2 to 3 family members along with me. read more

I came here with my mom without really looking at the menu or anything. We have always passed by this place and we finally decided to give it a try. I ordered a caramel macchiato with oat milk and my mom ordered a matcha green tea with oat milk. My mom really enjoyed her matcha she said it wasnt sweet at all but she personally enjoys it like that. My coffee was decent. I wasnt wowed by it but it wasnt bad. I ordered Javis breakfast sandwich: this was.... not good. i was really trying to eat it. The feta with the cilantro and jalapeños was just a good pairing at all. It tasted so bitter and was also extremely chalky. I feel like if they had something else as a spread rather than mayo it would be better and more flavorful? i wish i would have ordered something else nonetheless. My mom ordered the chilaquiles and she got the red ones. She absolutely loved them! I tried some from her plate and they were absolutely devine! super authentic and incredible. They serve it with two eggs. I forgot to mention we got a side of fries and they were soooooooo good! I will definitely be coming back to give it another chance. :) read more

Always amazing food at Monkey Business! I love their breakfast bowl & skillet and the portobello sandwich!

Presentation is good but the taste not so much. I was really disappointed because I've been craving chilaquiles and it was super salty. My mom got the Huevos rancheros and she felt the same way. Too salty! My blood pressure was for sure elevated after eating here because of the amount of sodium in my food and the disappointment lol. Service is okay. The food came out right away. Parking in the back. No wait for seating. All in all, I don't recommend this restaurant. Won't be coming back. read more
