Drinks: they have all the standard coffee plus some extra flavors to add to your coffee. I was told the lattes are popular here. They also carry a small tea collection (green, black, herbal). There are decaf options as well for those who can't take caffeine. I went with a Macademia Brown Sugar Shaken Expresso. It didn't take strong, has a slight smoky and cinnamon flavors and it's just sweet enough. There is also a fridge next to the counter (sparkling water, cold tea, juice, coconut water, kombucha) Food: There are a few breakfast and lunch cold sandwiches and pastries to choose from. Space: spacious and clean with plenty of seatings. There is bar height seating, 1 booth seating and remaining tables and chairs. There are some outdoor seatings as well. Nice decoration and beautiful ceiling light fixtures. Parking: plenty in front as the shop shares the parking lot with other businesses. Service: friendly and helpful. read more

I went on a Wednesday to work for an hour to take a meeting so stopped in as driving through area Grabbed a Nutty Cold Brew plus Banana Nut Muffin. The muffin was good and big. The coffee was decent and not overly sweet. It did take an unusually long time for the coffee as some other reviews noted. As a place for laptop/calls: 1. Wifi was unreliable. I got dropped from the call once and had to turn off video to sustain the Zoom connection 2. There was a heatwave during the week, 100+, and the place was rather warm inside. They had one portable fan blowing inside. 3. The outside seating is large area but chairs around each table are chained together; this was around 1p during the day. If want to sit, have pull chairs out with locks still wrapped around legs. Just odd still chained during day so chose to sit inside. Tables looked dusty since next busy street too. The one star is that I had a double charge for the $11.70 order. I had to go through trouble to contact the bank to file a dispute and now have to wait to see if approved. I am not close to Fountain Valley and with gas prices, it would've cost me same price or more of the order amount to try to resolve it there. I thought I paid for the order and while at my table with coffee and muffin, "while on my work call with headphones on", a worker approached me that I did not pay for the order. She stood there waiting so went to just pay it and waited at terminal to confirm it went through this time. I don't blame the worker but rather management/owner training. Seemed the owners, one wearing a fancy scarf, where there with ipads and walking around. read more

I went around Saturday around roughly 1pm ish. I ordered a hot americano. There was no one in front of me, but we sat there for over 13 minutes for this. I think it's fairly easy to make an Americano so I didn't understand why there was a significant wait. Plus there were several people that came after us that had food and special drink orders. So I was a bit annoyed that our order was forgotten or wasn't prioritized. Is it because I didn't tip for a quick Americano I'm quite confused on what happened? I then decided to talk to the woman at the counter and she apologized for the wait. Our drink came by quickly and the young man came by to our table to give us our drink to apologize. The young man who took our order should really track orders accordingly. read more

Super impulse drop by but it worked out really well! We were close to the Atomic Museum and needed some caffeine, stopped by and were really pleased with the quality of coffee. I got a caramel Latte and wife got a coconut latte. Both were fresh brewed with super smooth espresso and the foam was very tasty and generous. The shop is small probably only accommodating mostly walk ins but we were lucky to get a table. Our service is was very quick and accommodating. Will be returning! read more

Staff here is friendly, quick to greet new customers, and available for questions. The menu may look a bit sparse but there are lots of syrups available for you to customize your perfect drink. There are also staff recommendations on a white board. Lots of space for working with a few outlets along the wall. There is also outdoor seating with a fire pit. It can get warm inside the shop so dress accordingly. read more

Decided to give this place a try on my way to dinner. Love the aesthetics. They have a great menu. It's a typical coffee shop that's trendy. The drinks were average. We paid about 8 dollars for our drink. I enjoyed my drink and the service was great. There's so many coffee shops around and this one is no different than the next. Just a nice place to sit and have a cup of joe. read more

A cool coffee shop with a cool layout. The service was nice and friendly. The coffee on the other hand is questionable. I got the cafe macchiato. I thought the drink would have a very bold coffee flavor. But nope, it was a weak one which is very disappointing. I am not sure how some coffee shops make amazing, bold coffees and some just are horrible at it. I doubt I will be back here anytime soon! Unbookmark it! read more

Qargo Coffee - Cafe Macchiato is a weak one..... I wouldn't get it again.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Spur of the moment decision to stop by for some caffeine before an afternoon hike. I ordered the matcha and it was just too light and tasted like milk. I'll try a coffee next time. The menu has a little bit of everything. The menu includes a pastry and sandwich case. Great big space. Casual. Lots of parking. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

The atmosphere is really great. There are tons of seating and the decor looks really great. What really sets this place back is their coffee and drinks. Drinks feel extremely watered down and do not taste the greatest. Baristas and staff are welcoming and pleasant. Great place to study as a college student but I wouldn't come here for their drinks. read more

Not too many options although a super convenient place for some generic caffeine options. Plenty of seating to meet up for a chat or do work both inside and out. First time i went, the machine wouldn't take my Apple Pay and i didn't have anything on me. I don't know if its been fixed but i ran through busy and had my card on me. read more

Cool lots of space The outdoor space is quite large, and in the afternoon, it becomes shady, so it's nice. Their ice coffee isn;t too memorable, but a good place to study and grab a bite. The baristas all seemed to be having fun, which was super nice to see :) Friendly service, read more

This place is nice and the coffee is great. I love the clean store and the people are very friendly.

I am an early bird when it comes to studying, so I definitely have my eye out for places like this where I can set up shop and also get my caffeine fix! The barista was really nice when I came here and recommended the pistachio cream latte which was rich but not too sweet. It completed my morning perfectly. There's plenty of spaces to sit and some outlets so I enjoyed studying here. read more

Qargo Coffee - French toast latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

My first visit here was over a little over a year ago - between that time and today, I've gone here a few times a month - and things have improved, the environment has mellowed out. I think one of the biggest turnoffs initially when they first opened was they would have these large scale community nights like bingo - which would draw a huge crowd of people - turning the place into a madhouse. But, to be fair, I imagine that's their way of trying to attract new customers to their business. So I can't really fault them for that. Things have mellowed out now, the crowd is more consistent - there's a mix of students during the week, business people, and a more casual crowd on the weekends. I've tried a number of drinks here (and taken a photo of each kind attached to this review) - my favorite is the drink I'm trying today, which is the Mango Dreamsicle. It's a ice blended drink, with a decent mango flavor - doesn't taste artificial, good amount of cream. Almost tastes like a drinkable mango-flavored yogurt. The highlight is that the caffeine (about 75mg) is from the lotus plant. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors - only two outlets for those who are working on a laptop. Employees have always been friendly. Parking is never an issue. It's a huge lot, with plenty of open spaces, even during peak lunch/dinner hours. read more

Easy to find! Parking is very easy. Very clean location. Spacious in tons of seating inside and on their private patio with heaters. Such a cute spot in the service was awesome. There were two people working and you can tell that they weren't just rushing to make the orders. They really took their time to make your drinks and food just right. When they handed me my bagel and cream cheese and iced cappuccino, they asked if everything was to my liking. I'll definitely come back! read more

Well, to start, we went in the evening right before closing. There was plenty of parking and seating. It was dark so I did not take a video of the outside patio area, but thought it would be amazing to sit out there during warm summer nights, or during the day for studying/computer work. The barista working behind the counter, was helpful in answering all the questions, but not very friendly, in terms of smiling and conversational. I think she just had a very long day because she said she worked on the morning also, I was so I gave it a pass. The coffee I choose was off the barista's creation board, and when she explained how she makes it, it sounded amazing. But the taste was not as amazing to my palette. I'd give it a 3.5/5. The caramel frappe was also meh, average. All in all, I would try this coffeehouse again if I was passing by Edinger because it's quite conveniently located and very cute aesthetics. I could see myself hanging with friends or working in the space. AND I only had one drink there, so some others may be delis read more

To our surprise, the chile verde breakfast burrito was better than expected. The drinks were all amazing and just what we needed. Our family will be back soon to try other items on the menu. I cannot believe we hadn't discovered this place sooner. Staff were friendly, very knowledgeable about their menu items, and willing to customize to accommodate our kid's choice of drinks. We didn't wait long everything was out quickly. The tables were mostly occupied by people on their laptops which was nice & calm for anyone needing to do work or to study. The place is very well-kept and very clean. This location has a restroom that requires a code for use. read more

There is some great coffee here at Qargo and they have friendly and welcoming staff and a great atmosphere to boot as it's a great place to study and get work done or a place to take a quick coffee break if you need it! They have a variety of coffee drinks like most coffee shops but they also have specialty drinks along with pastries and food. Qargo also proudly serves LavAzza coffee for all their drinks. I decided on getting the Nutty Nitro since I needed something strong to kickstart my day and I also wanted some hazelnut flavor so this drink fit the bill. I got it after only waiting a few minutes and it was delicious and perked me up. I also got their pumpkin cheesecake which was also rich and tasty! The interior is quite clean and very bright and gives off a warm, inviting atmosphere. There's plenty of seating here to study and do work and parking is a breeze as the lot is fairly large. I will for sure be back here in the future for more coffee and to do the occasional study session! read more

Qargo Coffee - Pumpkin Cheesecake & Nutty Nitro Medium - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

they only had one person working and so it took 15 minutes for a brewed coffee and a muffin, and there were only two other people in the store. I want to give other businesses besides Starbucks a chance, but who has time to wait 15 minutes for a cup of drip coffee? read more

Decided to check this place out because of the positive reviews and I wanted to try out a new coffee place. I ended up ordering nutty nitro cold brew because it has hazelnut. It was a gamble for me because I don't normally get a cold brew since I don't really like a strong coffee taste and I was quite surprised by this drink! You can definitely taste the coffee but it is well balanced with the hazelnut so that it is not too sweet either! It was easy to drink so this might be my go to drink unless I find something better on their menu. The iced cafe latte was pretty standard for me. I got the vanilla to help make it sweeter so it's drinkable for me lol. The atmosphere is pretty nice as well. I saw several people studying on their laptops, but I didn't really see many accessible chargers (at least at the table I was sitting it). Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Do not hesitate to ask questions about their menu! I would definitely visit again if I am in the area. read more

Qargo Coffee is a solid coffee house. I came here to get a matcha and an Americano. My matcha came by default without sweenter which I actually appreciated and they also had milk alternatives. The pricing for fine and affordable. The inside of this place is big and open with plenty of tables and chairs for you to sit and enjoy your drink. The staff was really good and knowledgable. Our drinks came out pretty quick. They even sold coffee beans made by Lavazzo. They offer food items as well. read more

Walking in is an experience all on its own, ? Why? Because they have created a beautiful space for you and me! There is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, and an amazing selection of beverages including BOBA , Tea, Coffee and well beyond the menu, snacks and even Gelato! The service was patient and helpful. This maybe a new hotspot, the music was mellow and not distracting, loved it! I ordered the nutty nitro and a bear claw. The drink was soo good, next level coffee for sure, but I must confess Lavazza is a really great brand of coffee products. Stop by and really enjoy the self care experience, it's easy to access right off the 405 freeway. Enjoy! read more

Been eyeing this place for awhile now whenever we're in Fountain Valley. We stopped by in the morning to check it out and wow, I really like how the place looks. The orange and blue color scheme fitted well and the interior decor was nicely set up. Everything felt clean. At first glance, the menu looks overwhelming because they have variety of drinks besides coffee. However, the barista was helpful and patience with us. Good service. My girl and I ordered the Nutty Nitro and it was good, but nothing too extraordinary. The flavor was alright; creamy and earthy. The cold brew here is light and not too strong. I prefer mine dark and intense, lol. They use Lavazza coffee which is from Italia. I'll give it a 3.5/5. I gotta try the other drinks on the menu. So far everything was dope. Will be back soon! read more

I found this place by searching Yelp for a coffee place that had comfortable chairs, options for inside or outside seating, and free Wifi access in Fountain Valley. The location also was great since it wasn't super visible, creating lots of parking that is shared among the strip mall in an industrial setting. The prices of coffee drinks were reasonable and the place was a bit crowded but clean. Restroom use requires a punch code and the WiFi password is written on the marker board, you have to look for the small print on top of the message board. Chairs are comfortable and patrons were respectful with conversations and cleaning up after themselves. I was even more pleased that the server was able to provide change for me on the way out. I highly recommend this place not only for coffee but for having 'catch up' time with people. read more

First impressions, this place was very spacious and aesthetic! The interior is very pretty and there is even outdoor seating, so I would definitely come back here to get some work done! The staff was very nice and welcoming and recommended me the toasted marshmallow latte. The toasted marshmallow latte was on the sweeter side, however it was not too overwhelming. In fact, it was pretty normal, like something you could make at home, but it wasn't bad. The menu was a tad bit confusing to navigate because there was no menu with all the flavors being offered and the only way you could know was to look behind the counter where all the syrups pumps were? Obviously if you're the person to always order a simple certain flavor (like lavender, caramel, vanilla etc. ) you won't need a menu with all the flavors, but I'm the type to try unique flavors so I try to look for something a little spesh I also asked if they offered matcha drinks, which they do, but it was nowhere to be seen on the menu. this was after I already placed my order but I wish I knew earlier so I could try! Overall, I will probably be back since it's a good study place, and I might give their drinks another try! read more

Everything went well! Food, very nice service, quiet & clean ambiance! We had a pistacho hot latte, a bacon egg and cheddar sesame bagel, & dark roast coffee.

My new favorite study spot! Fountain valley is lucky to have so many great coffee shops. This is one of my favorites for studying because of the 20% student discount, quiet environment, and large amount of comfortable group seating. There's a couple of outlets that I've never had a problem with getting. Free wifi too. The menu is straightforward with plenty of options. I like getting a small caffe latte with one of their many syrup choice which was around $6. They had a lot of syrup choices that other coffee shops don't have like ginger. The baristas are also always friendly and willing to answer any questions! read more

I stayed here for a bit to get a drink and pastry and have a place to sit before my next stop. Employees were welcoming and nice, and the atmosphere felt relaxing. I tried the Mango Iced tea without sweetener and the cheese danish. I really liked both. The iced tea had the right amount of sweetness for me and I thought it was a refreshing drink. One of the employees let me know there were sample cups so I could try the peach iced tea. The danish was better than ones I've tried at other coffee shops, which can be on the dry side. Theirs wasn't dry and the glaze on top gave the right amount of sugar for me. Their menu, in addition to espresso based drinks and cold brews, lists seasonal drinks, drinks unique to this location, boba drinks, and desserts like tiramisu and carrot cake. I am interested in trying the cold brew next and anticipate more visits here when I'm in the area. read more

A cute and clean coffee spot that seems to use all Lavazza coffee beans but there is room for improvement. The baristas were very nice but didn't seem too experienced with making drinks. I got a hot rose latte and it was super sweet so I asked if they could adjust it and they offered to remake the drink which was so nice of them. The remade version wasn't as sweet but no rose flavor just like a plain latte and wasn't very strong. Service was excellent and pricing wasn't bad they had three sizing options with the smallest latte being $4 ish but I got a very forgettable latte.... read more

I've come here one more time since the last time I've been, and all of their drinks virtually taste the same; very diluted and you can't taste any of the flavor mentioned in the drinks' descriptions. If I had to, I would only come here for the seating to do work but not the drinks ;-; read more

Came in on a Sunday at 9 am and there was only 1 person working, who was very kind. There was a large group who had been waiting for their drinks even before I walked in. I ordered and 5 people walked in after me. How can you expect 1 person to take care of both the register and drinks???? It's now been 20 mins and she still has not been able to make all the drinks for the group before me. This is not her fault. She should not be by herself. read more
