9/10 Hojicha Latte - I didn't adjust the sweetener at all. When I tried it after they made it, it wasn't sweet enough for me. I actually had to ask the barista twice to add more sweetener. Yes, I like my drinks on the sweeter side! Other than that, it had a nice earthy flavor. The layout of the place was also very interesting. Cost - $8.00 in total.

The good news is They service really professional coffee.but you only can drink maximize two and cannot drink more coffee as to enjoy all the flavors

The barista very enthusiastically recommended the volcano latte (smoky sea salt) to me and it did not disappoint! I love a salty latte so this hit the spot and wasn't too sweet at half sweetness. I love the indoor-outdoor feeling and the colorful decorations throughout that really exude playful (lol) and childlike. The shipping container is a really cute aesthetic and I appreciate how there was still an outlet inside.

Had a great chai . They were not very busy and we are lucky for us . We love this location and it is clean, quiet and very convenient

Iced Matcha Latte

I really enjoyed my matcha from here. It wasn't too thick or watered down, it was a great consistency. The flavor wasn't too overwhelming and it was a nice addition to my trip to the flea market down the street. Cool place!

There is AC inside the container space

The vibe of this place is unique. I've driven by on Commonwealth and assumed it was a typical set-up of outdoor seating and a brick and mortar shop, but it's two shipping containers, converted into a coffee space, in an alleyway, in downtown Fullerton. You can park on the street, but I get nervous about parking on Commonwealth and Harbor because of the traffic and I decided to go all the way around and park in the parking lot by Heroes and walked over. I stopped by on the weekday in the morning and it wasn't crowded, in fact there was one couple ahead of me. The one person working the bar was very chill, so if you're thinking of stopping here before heading to the office, I would say neigh. This is one of those laid back, take your time and enjoy the outdoor elements coffee spots. I ordered a maple latte and went to do some work in the outdoor seating area. There's another shipping container connected to the main shop that has tables and chairs and a few outlets for chargers. Can you work in there? Sure. Is it a vibe? Not really, there are air conditioners in there, but there's no background music and it feels like you're in a fancy shipping container. I ordered a shaken maple latte, it was good and had a hint of orange in it. I would recommend this place if you want to slow down and enjoy the weather and your coffee, not if you are commuting to work.

Fullerton, 這個美麗的城市,光咖啡廳不曉得有多少家可以來探店,網紅店超多的,有名又有特色的餐廳也很多,今天既然來了就來這一家放在我的寶藏名單裡好久的play咖啡,最有名的叫 volcano coffee , 加了海鹽的味道不錯,這一家店最大的賣點還是他們的貨櫃造型, 藍色, 橘色很跳tone 的設計,很有自己的風格

This fun coffee shop has a glass-encased space for ordering, with several patio areas surrounding it, and a separate room with indoor seating. They are known for their Volcano Latte so that's what I ordered (hot rather than iced) along with a chocolate chip cookie. It was a mild evening so I sat outside at one of the patio tables. The latte had an interesting sweet & salty taste; actually the flavor wasn't too salty but I could taste the saltiness on my lips after sipping. The coffee flavor was smooth and vivid. It paired perfectly with the chocolate chip cookie which also had some salt on it to give it that sweet & salty combination. The duo working here were friendly and quick. It's located in downtown Fullerton so there are a couple of nearby lots but, being a weekday, I easily found street parking a block away.

The wallet threshold has a mental setting yet there are times to expand beyond some of the pricing to get the experience. That is not to say this place is big $$. (Big $ was being in Japan and paying $15 when it was near 1:1 for a siphon type coffee.) The staff at Play is great! The base coffees and infused ones well worked out. The taste is excellent for an enjoyable coffee experience. Parking can be challenging at peak hours when the other eateries are in full swing.

PLAY Coffee located inFullerton, CA. This unique location had such an interesting layout with so much space indoors and outdoors, with the use of intermodal containers. When walking in, we were intrigued by the cool structure, giving the coffee shop a unique aesthetic. Inside, where the baristas are (which is closer to the parking lot), contained a giant menu with plenty of options and a variety of coffee beans. We both tried the iced Volcano Latte with oatmilk. They do not upcharge for dairy replacements! We were glad that the initial taste had a bold coffee taste, where the other flavors like the brown sugar and milk were a blended mix. This drink also contained a tiny bit of salt, and it was a perfect addition! There was also a subtle sweetness in this coffee that we loved. This is something we would get again. PLAY Coffee also gets their doughnuts from Caffeinated Kitchen! We truly enjoyed PLAY Coffee and loved their coffee and look forward to trying more from their extensive menu! Let us know what you tried!

If you don't know what high quality coffee is, PLAY will pour you a cup. Small interior. Simple. Sit outside with plenty of tables. Enjoy!

Espresso tonic here is insane. Best I ever had. Give your drink a minute to let the orange peel infuse into the drink, chefs kiss.
