“ Wowow. This cafe is so cute!! It looks like it may have been a house before. The floor creaks when you enter, and the outside area in the back looks like it could have been a backyard. They decorated the interior so nicely. They have like vintage chairs and tables. After you order, they give you a buzzer. After you finish your food, you can take the tray back to the counter. The menu is nice. They serve hot food, one of which is the cupbap 15. I got the kimchi tuna, which was pretty good. I ate it all in one sitting. I was glad to see they have einspanner on the menu! I got the regular 12 oz einspanner 5.50. It was really good! Parking is odd. Theres a few street spots, or maybe you can sneak your car at the library parking lot and walk over.. Free wifi. Credit cardApple Pay accepted. I dont remember there being a bathroom. ”
“ Such a cute space for people to be alone or spend time with friends. Definitely gives that home feeling. Would absolutely come again! Had a Korean Spicy Pork Panini and was such an interesting combination of flavor I didnt know I needed! For any Pistachio lovers you must get the Pistachio Latte as it was almost drinking a pistachio gelato. Just perfect! ”
“ I would have never guessed there would be such a charming cafe here! The vibe is very casual. You order at the cashier, and theyll give you a buzzer for your order. Seating is available inside, but I recommend sitting outside in the garden area. The drinks are really good. I got the Banana Latte Einspanner. Its creamy and light from the whipped cream, and the banana flavor is perfect. Not too sweet either. The Choco Tiramisu latte is also really good. The bulgogi panini was ok, but the ham and cheese panini was really good. I think they should switch the bread on the bulgogi panini to the one they use for the ham and cheese. Overall, its a good place for a casual brunch or to study. I would definitely come back here. ”
“ Drinks are delicious just the whole vintage esthetic is beautiful. The place wasnt busy at all, which I love! I am just so amazed by the detail they put in the place that is amazing! Would be coming back to try the food vintage delicious cozyatmosphere ”
“ A very cute and nice cafe situated in a historic house in this city. They did a great job upholding the decor to the style of the house. This family owned and operated cafe is a nice addition to the area. The day I visited, there was a line to order food and drinks. So its popularity at this point speaks for itself. It must the coffee. Speaking of coffee, I enjoyed a cold vanilla Latte Einspanner. Let me say, it did not let me down. Ive had Einspanner in a Viennese kaffeehause and this drink meets the expectations. For my dining experience, I ordered the Bulgogi panini. This sandwich it itself is filling for me. It was a pleasure to devour it. Lol. Anyways, this place is 1010 in my books. Check them out.

“ What can I say that Ive not said before, this place hits on all cylinders. The owner and his wife are really nice and sweet, food is outstanding and drinks always on point. The place is very much a Victorian throwback, casual and lots of people hang out here. Love this place, I hesitate to say to much in a selfish way to keep the crowd away.! ”
“ Here to try the Spicy Pork Panini, Bulgogi paining, and Kimbap. Everything we ate and drank was amazing and definitely a goto if you want a chill and relaxing cafe in a neighborhood in an old Victorian house. They got seated inside but prefer being in the backyard is full of fruit trees and shade. ”
“ A friend who lives here invited me for coffee ad dessert on a Friday evening. The spot is an old craftsman style bungalow. It fits in with the downtown Fullerton area, one of the older cities in OC. Very cute and unique. I had a croissant and very much enjoyed it with strawberry cream. The inside was surprisingly large and lots of space for the laptop crowd. The back had a patio and an expensive garden and yard. Parking is in the alleyway at the back but there are only about 7 spaces. Take the first street parking you see. This is a very nice cafe that also serves Korean food. I will have to return to try it! ”
