    Ocean Lemonade
    Michael G.

    Came back to my fav place in OC to do some remote work. You know I had to order the Strawberry Matcha Latte again, definitely my favorite drink on the menu! The service here is always great, everyone is nice and they prepare the food and drinks pretty quickly. There's plenty of parking and plenty of places to sit, plus they have WiFi and lots of charging ports. When I say there's plenty of parking, they have a mini parking lot in the back, then there's street parking in the front, and then last resort is the public library parking lot which has a tremendous amount of spots to park. Strawberry matcha latte: 5/5 my favorite drink on the menu. The matcha flavor and strawberry flavor have a really good balance and it's not too sweet either. I'm sure you can ask for less strawberry or more strawberry depending on your preferred taste. Chocolate chip cookie 5/5 thank you Tony for stopping by my table and dropping it off to me! It's nice and thin but it has the chewiness that I love. Normally when cookies are thin they're either too crunchy due to the thinness. This cookie is thin but has the chew and bend where it's not too chewy but it's got a nice bite.

    Tried the bulgogi cup and it was incredible! All the flavors came together to form a delicious rice and bulgogi bowl! Unfortunately our cups were served at room temperature(?) The fried egg and the bulgogi were not fresh/warm, as if the cups had been sitting out for awhile. The cup was still tasty but the experience would've been to die for had it been served warm. Our drinks were solid! The setting is super cute, feels like a Gilmore Girls set. It's typically busy but plenty of seating is available both inside and outside. Parking can be tight but street parking in the neighborhood is a backup option.

    Cappuccino + Classic Lemonade + Yuja Cha

    My parents and I came here on a Wednesday around 5:30pm. There was a good mix of people quietly working on computers and people comfortably chatting with friends, so the overall vibe was nice and easygoing. My dad got a Cappuccino and an Avocado Toast. My mom got a Classic Lemonade and a Caprese Panini. I got a Yuja Cha and a Spicy Pork Cupbap. We all enjoyed our meals, especially my mom. She was tempted to order another panini on the spot, but we had a movie to catch. Now comes the awkward part... the real reason why I'm giving five stars is not the food, but the decor. I didn't take a lot of good pictures because I got embarrassed, but I did zoom in on some of the lights. Hopefully, their unique charm will convey what the whole room looked like, or better yet, tempt you to go see for yourself... oh, and don't forget the garden! Games and gnomes and geese, oh my!

    This is a very cute coffee shop/cafe! No wonder parking is a lil difficult. Went on a recent Sunday afternoon and all five or so parking spaces in the alley directly behind it were taken, and the street parking in front was all taken, but didn't I see a spot on the side street? Ha! I did, but someone just parked there on my way back to it. No prob--parked across the side street from that person. Beautiful, welcoming garden in front says no time to be stressed! You're here now! Couple people enjoying their sandwiches and drinks on the porch, and in the front room. No line inside. That's cool! Took a look at the menu while the workers conversed amongst themselves. Probably very obvious we were first timers as we kept standing in everyone's way--there's a restroom near the register and pick up counter; the register and pick up counter are basically the same place so don't linger along there cause orders will most certainly be picked up while you're waiting, lol. I learned that quickly. So we took a seat inside to wait for our order and then decided to go out back. Well, that place is medium sized but expansive! Way larger than you think it will be. Perfect for studying, catching up with your people, solo, one on one or groups. And it is lush. There was a back patio, couple of side patios, and a backyard with open space, and even has a small private space for up to 4 comfortably, lots of tables and chairs, in the sun or in the shade. I wanna say there was the sound of a fountain (s) and some pop music--so lovely. Perfect place to unwind and reset! The drinks were pretty tasty. I had the ocean lemonade and my daughter enjoyed the iced matcha latte. We'll be back!

    This is such a cute cafe. I came to do work and enjoyed sitting outside with all the flowers and lemon tree. I got a cappuccino and the ham and cheese panini. The panini was so good. Service was fine (they were busy). They give you a pager to let you know when your items are ready. I didn't get parking in the back but I parked in the neighborhood close by. Please not that some streets don't allow parking on Fridays until 12pm.

    This cafe has the cutest patio and backyard with plenty of outdoor seating and lots of spots for photo ops! In term of drinks, I enjoyed the salted caramel latte which tasted similar to a caramel frappe!

    double ube latte & banana einspänner latte
    Helen N.

    First off, this cafe is absolutely beautiful! I adore the vintage vibe and there is so much seating, both inside and outside in the backyard! It's probably one of the most creative cafes I've ever been to and it's a perfect spot for photos. I got their double ube latte, which was amazing and so rich in the ube flavor. It's not too sweet and it had the perfect balance of coffee and ube. They do advise you to mix it until the ube is all mixed in with the coffee and the presentation of it is so pretty! I never thought I'd be a fan of ube, but this drink sold it for me. Their banana einspänner is nice and creamy with a non-artificial taste of the banana. It tastes very "elegant", if that makes any sense at all. Overall, their drinks are a 10/10! They also have a lot of food that is Korean-inspired and I'll have to try a good eat next time I come! Service was amazing and the drinks come out pretty quick. I would definitely recommend this cafe for a pretty aesthetic and great coffee!

    The "Ruby" and Double Ube latte
    Halle P.

    Super cute cafe with a whimsical and charming aesthetic. Would definitely come back here with a friend or to study. Drinks 8.5/10 I ordered the Double Ube latte and my friend ordered the "Ruby" (one of their hibiscus tea lemonades). I was a bit disappointed to find out both the Choco Tiramisu latte and Iced Salty toffee latte both have nut products (I'm allergic), but I'm glad I found out before ordering it. My ube latte was yummy and had a good mix of coffee flavor and ube with coffee being the dominant flavor. As an ube lover I wish the ube flavor was a bit stronger, but it was still really good. I would order again. The Ruby was so refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness with a lovely splash of citrus. Would love to order this next time I visit! Service 8.5/10 Friendly service! We ordered at the counter and they gave us buzzers to let us know when our drinks were ready so we were free to roam the gardens while we waited. Ambiance 10/10 Would come here just for the unique environment. The aesthetic was a cozy, vintage cottage fairy aesthetic with a lot of unique and eclectic trinkets and knick-knacks while staying very clean and tidy. I'm amazed on how clean the outdoor seating is considering how much seating is available! There is a decent amount of seating inside, but a ton of options outside and so many cute quiet corners for seating. There is wifi, outlets, blankets for use, an electric bug zapper to keep the bugs away, and a bathroom located outside. Outdoors was very peaceful and quiet on a Friday afternoon. A lot of thought went into the atmosphere and style of this place and you can definitely feel it. Highly recommend this spot! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Would love to go here with a book and a friend and another cup of their Ruby tea lemonade!

    Beautiful garden

    A great place to stop by when you want to enjoy a quick break with coffee. You can admire antique items and a beautiful garden that is perfect for taking photos with friends.

    Blueberry latte
    Jeremy S.

    I decided to visit here again as a treat for completing the work week. This time, I ordered an iced blueberry hojicha latte with mocha ($7). I wanted a low-caffeine option, so hojicha seemed like a good choice for the afternoon. Since I believe it was my first time trying hojicha, I could've gone without the mocha. It did go well with hojicha because the drink came out nicely chocolatey. The little lumps of blueberry were a treat to eat along with the drink. Overall, it was a delicious latte, and I finished it a little quickly. It was nice to see all the different kinds of decorations at their patio again. The music playing was a mix of American and Korean pop. Like before, the cashier gives you a pager that prompts you to come back to the counter to pick up your order. I parked by the curb on N. Richman Ave. as there was a lot of space to leave my car.

    Korean beef bulgogi panini
    Melissa M.

    Don't get me wrong, this place is cute, quaint, and relaxing ....like you're visiting grandma's house but the food is just ok. Order at the kiosk and then find a table. The food is more like fast food...the cupbaps were ok. The spicy pork had a nice kick and the bulgogi beef was ok ...both just seemed to lack flavor. The Korean bulgogi panini was fine too, but could have used more sauce. The drinks were great! We tried the Banana cha cha ...the matcha and banana just go so well together. We also tried the ocean lemonade...i couldn't really taste the strawberry but was still good. Made with sparkling water. Lastly the Dubai chocolate latte was rich and the pistachios gave nice texture. Don't order the Caesar salad. It tasted like store-bought Caesar dressing atop regular lettuce and hard-to-find pieces of Parmesan cheese. A lot of cute garden seating. Seating inside is limited and there is only 1 bathroom. I would come back for their drinks and chill time in a cute garden setting, not so much for the food.

    Caprese Panini
    Yvette S.

    I visited The Classic Cafe to try and get some work done in the evening. Upon entering, I thought there was only seating on the inside, and to my surprise, there was a full back patio and back yard with ample seating! I loved the eclectic decor all throughout the cafe. Each table had different chairs and it all just went together so nicely. I tried the London Fog and the caprese panini. They were both delicious. The London Fog is topped with dried lavender flower, which is not my favorite so next time I will try without. It's the perfect spot to study or get some work done. It has a calm vibe and free WiFi.

    Beef bulgogi cupsap and Turkey pesto panini
    jenn l.

    SUPER cute place in the middle of a random neighborhood in Fullerton! As you drive along the Main Street, you would likely miss it unless you knew to look for this house. There's a small parking lot in the back in the alley. Service was really friendly and the food was really good. The turkey pesto panini had so much flavor and even tasted creamy. If you enjoy cute ambiance and cafe style food, this is your spot!!

I executed a beautiful cheese pull upon my first bite, but could not capture it on picture because I ate too fast! So you'll just have to take my word for it. My family also enjoyed their sandwiches.

Easy to eat and tastes so damn good! Location is great on the promenade. Parking was a breeze on a Saturday afternoon--can snag a spot on the promenade itself or in nearby structures. Recommended!!!

For an additional cost, you can add meat: prosciutto, salami, Spanish chorizo, or half & half of any two. For paninis, everything I've tried was very good. I've had the Signature which has a double-cream brie, pear slices, mixed greens, and fig jam. Lib Grilled Cheese comes with three premium cheese blend, grilled with olive oil, and minced garlic. All paninis are on their sourdough bread and served with their signature side salad.

Always coming back for their cheese boards and great happy hour!
