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!

Super cute cafe in a house, with seating indoor and outdoor with garden views. Such a calm vibe. Staff was nice. The coffee was delicious. The food was good, not what I was expecting, but good. It could use more juice on the meat, a little dry. I would definitely give this place another try and enjoy another yummy coffee.

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.

Finding parking is a bit tricky. I had to park in the street and walk a good 5 to 10 minutes. The house is gorgeous. What a lovely idea of opening a business in a home and filling each room with decor and seating areas. As far as customer service goes, it's very lacking. This is my 2nd time coming and both times I was attended by young girls that don't greet you, don't smile, don't thank you, and genuinely seem bothered to attend you. I ordered a bulgogi bowl, tiramisu latte, two kids egg ramen and 2 bags of chips. They ask for a tip and both times I've tipped but given the bad customer service and the fact that I have to go up and pick up my own drinks and food and utensils/to go boxes and water cups, I think I'll skip out next time. I like sitting outside in the shade. They have board games you can play. The food was all delicious and the coffee was very rich in flavor. Overall I really enjoy coming here, I just wish the customer service would be better but not a deal breaker for me.

Avocado toast

We loved this place. It's so cute and cozy! So many cute spots to sit. Everything we got was amazing. Can't wait to go back. We went on Saturday when they opened at 11am and there was plenty of street parking in the front. There is a sign that there is more parking in the back though. We got our drinks fairly quickly and they buzzed us again for our food. I appreciated that they gave us our drinks and didn't make us wait to get everything altogether. The service was friendly and we will definitely be back to try some more of their drinks. Food is good too!!

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.

Friends took me to this place saying how I would love it. They know me too well. This place is so cute. They turned the house to cafe. They do not have lot of dessert selection. But that's ok, lot of selection for drinks. You need to order at the counter and they will buzz you when your order is ready.

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!!

Pesto turkey panini, blueberry muffin, chai latte, forest lemonade
Jenny L.

We got the Pesto Turkey Panini and that was satisfying; very simple and delicious. Blueberry muffin was standard; a little dense if that's your preference for muffins. Every bite had blueberries so that was good. For drinks, we got the chai latte and the Forest lemonade. Chai latte was also standard, nothing special. It is better than a couple of places since their blend has a little more spices than others. Forest lemonade was standard; didn't expect it to be carbonated. The cafe is a lot bigger than it looks from the front. They have plenty of tables indoor and outdoor. It makes a good place for anyone looking to work or study. I would come back again, it's a good place to chill and grab a quick bite in the area.

Such a cute spot! I love that it's a house and have welcomed guests to their cafe. Their pesto panini was really good, highly recommend giving it a try. There was a long line to get in, but the line moves fairly quickly. Once you order you can find a seat and they'll buzz you when your food and drinks are ready! Very cozy, felt like a backyard hangout when you sit outside.

Einspanner
Andrea G.

Ordered the Einspanner, it was fine but I'd try something else off the menu next time. The interior of the coffee shop is really cute and unique, gives Dragonfly Inn vibes lol

11/29/25 Of course Hubby couldn't wait for photos, his oat milk latte
Jennifer W.

11/29/25 Charming, lush & captivating house-turned-cafe in Fullerton serving tasty drinks & delightful treats with friendly & affable service. It's definitely akin to walking into someone's lovely home & visiting for brunch. There's the front yard with a patio, the indoors with plenty of tables, bar seating & then there's the fascinating & gorgeous back yard. The back yard is surrounded by this captivating garden filled with trees & plants, flowers, plus a huge towering tree that provided shade & a quiet space underneath. The menu is somewhat limited to sandwiches, paninis, ramen bowls but plenty to snack on, clever delicious additions as well. Hubby got his usual oat milk latte & I tried the chocolate tiramisu latte. Both were excellent!! Loved that these were served in mugs (not paper cups!) so we enjoyed these immensely. The turkey pesto panini was flavorsome. We ordered at the counter as you pass the living room area, given a pager that will beep when your order is ready, then you pick it up. Seating is first come first served. There are about 6 parking spaces at the back of the house & mostly it's street parking, non metered. On a Saturday (Thanksgiving weekend) we found a spot. There are board games available for patrons to borrow & use while dining. Noted a few blankets too when the weather gets too chilly. How thoughtful! I love these types of places, quaint & lovely. Overall a very darling spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch. Most days they're open until 9 pm.

Outside decor

First time trying this spot. It's soo cute. It's literally a house made into a vintage/fairly tail coffee shop. Loved the garden in the back. It feels like having coffee at home. The drinks were delicious... order the salted toffee iced coffee 10/10. We went right as they opened, some people were already waiting for it to open. We got our drinks fairly quickly. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Such a cute matcha spot! I really enjoyed that it's self-service and lets you customize your drink…read moreexactly how you like it. They offer a variety of cold foam flavors, different non-dairy milk options, and adjustable sweetness levels, which is always a plus. The matcha itself was so good, you can really taste the ceremonial-grade quality throughout the entire drink instead of it getting lost among the other flavors. The atmosphere is also super relaxed, with lots of people hanging out, studying, or just enjoying their drinks. I would love to come back to try out more flavors.

Hadn't been in a while, so decided to stop by after grabbing lunch nearby…read more I got a double matcha and from first glance, everything looked good. However, upon drinking it, it tasted like the foam that was on top of the drink had been sitting out for too long. It didn't quite tasted spoiled yet, but also didn't taste "right"/fresh; something was really off about it. A bit disappointing honestly, in comparison to my previous visits in past years. It feels like the quality has dropped and/or I just visited on an off day. It was also incredibly loud in here, the music was way too loud and it wasn't a full house. People couldn't hear their orders being called and it lead to a weird clump of people just lingering around wondering where their drinks were. And unless you're seated/have a table, you're kind of stuck awkwardly hovering around the cafe to wait for your order. There isn't really a space to wait at. There's a ton of tables packed inside a small space, which is nice, but also makes for a weird atmosphere for customers who are waiting for their drinks for take out/can't get a table. There is not much to comment on service as you order yourself on kiosks then just pick up your drink. Not sure if I'd return; maybe for another drink if I'm in the area but I think I personally have other spots I prefer a bit more for the taste/quality.

That said, I've run into the same issue twice now (including today and once about 3 months ago): the bathroom was out of order both times. I'm not sure if I've just had bad luck, but it definitely impacts the experience--especially when you're planning to stay and work for a while and end up having to leave to find a restroom. I still genuinely enjoy this place and will keep coming back for the coffee, but I hope the restroom situation gets addressed because it would make a big difference in the overall experience.

Iced pistachio latte. Strong sweet taste. Not my cup of latte and I will try something different next time.
