I LOVE this place. It reminds me of the coffee shop version of Cheers, Where everybody knows your name! A wonderful community environment where we all go to share art, music, poetry and of course coffee. The outdoor patio is my fave place to sit. Try the Pancake Latte or secret menu Banana Bread Latte!

Great place, very chill, great staff. Read in the epoch times paper that this place was attacked by a dishonest non-customer whom made wild accusations that were totally false. I had to do by for a coffee to show support. Great crew. Great coffee. Stop by relax and enjoy whatever little show is taking place.

I love every visit I stop by. Staff is very friendly, atmosphere is nice, and most nights they have Live Music at 8pm, though Ive never stayed that late. Love this place with all my heart, best Cafe in Downtown Fullerton, hands down.

Horrible sound guy that you sign up with ignores when you start and plays first and then lets his favorite untalented acts go right after him. What a joke were performing at the legendary Rainbow were a the legends have performed. Thats were we belong. Ha haWere all on a perpetual TRIPWEST !!!!!

Outdoor patio is open and the atmosphere is just right for afternoon coffee with friends. The cold brew was perfect: zing without the sting. Plenty of street parking and public lots close by, and right in the heart of Downtown Fullerton where there are restaurants and shops aplenty.

The #NightOwlCafe is limiting in a 2.5 hour OPEN MIC night. Wow..... 😴 slow & very limiting. Was put on list @ 6:45 pm - 7:00 pm, & by 8:00 pm, 1 hour about absolutely NO one called us up. Sad. By 9:00 I learned that the Host had my name, but denied me anyhow cause I was put on the last of the list. Odd. Guest its a business heavily concentrated on usual, and cronies here, so they get priority over newbs like me. Live an 🎓learn👀💀👀

Night Owl is a great stop off for coffee. I tried the Elvis Latte since it intrigued me and I was surprised just how good it was. The flavor of banana and peanut butter was present, but didnt overpower the wonderful latte.

Although this place is very cute it really just ain’t it.,.... the espresso is pretty mid and seems to always taste burnt asl. I appreciate the baristas for being nice, but if you’re gonna recommend me a chocolate chip muffin, just be real wit me and tell me it’s a cupcake without frosting sheeesh :///

Review №31

They have nice, dark espresso and lots of high quality pastry options. The atmosphere is very sweet.Only downside is that its very pricey, and theres not too many strict coffee options (only two roasts). Its mostly customization-based, rather than focusing on the types of coffee.Other than that, its a lovely place to study or hang out downtown!

Pretty good espresso and yummy cheesecake.

Review №33

I’m only giving a one star because the hours are not correct. Google said open and when I drove by they were closed. However, if you do get a chance to come here when it is open, it’s a cool spot. Drinks and desserts are good. The patio outside let’s you converse with another. It’s a great place for a date night or when chilling with friends. There are board games, sometimes - live band. Bathrooms are maintained so so. I would give it a 4 star review when they open. My only gripe is that it’s a small place if you want to sit inside.

They serve beer now. Probably shouldnt mix with coffee but you can choose what you want to drink based on the day you had and never be disappointed. Oh, I think they serve wine too.

I want to visit this place, however it seems to be closed. I went on 1/13/21 at approximately 5:30pm and it was closed and did not have any hours listed anywhere on their store front. The patio furniture is all stacked up and pushed to the side. I went again this morning 1/14/21 at 9:06am, and they were closed. Their website says they open at 6am and that they are currently open, but that is not true. Not sure if theyre temporarily closed because of COVID or what, but maybe try calling before you go if you want to come here.

Great little coffee spot with good coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, and the like. They have DELICIOUS pastries including the most amazing one...a giant ding dong. Its even wrapped in foil like the original. Its got dark chocolate covering a soft moist cake with cream inside. So delicious! They also feature local artists with cool paintings and drawings. They also have live music on Friday and Saturday nights in the back. Great little place

We came because the reviews were pretty decent. But, I wasnt too impressed. I ordered a pastry that was just alright and our lattes were WAY too strong. The atmosphere is endearing and great to sit and chat with friends. There limited seating though, so Im not sure how that works when theres live music.

The Night Owl is a cool looking spot. It makes you feel at home. But the prices dont, 1 Americano (large) and 1 French iced Latte for $14 bucks. They were both good, like any other coffee shop. Service was good and friendly. Cool ambiance but not good prices.

Review №62

This place is great for a late night treat or coffee after an eventful evening in Downtown Fullerton. Their drinks and pastries are deliciously sweet, but not too sweet. The cashiers are extremely friendly and helpful. They make the whole place feel warm and inviting. It has a very hipster vibe though with mismatching chairs and everybody on their laptops probably writing their screenplays.

Review №63

Cool place. The open mic is popular but needs some work. The venue is amazing, the people are amazing but the way they do the list is ridiculous. I’m all for giving newcomers a shot but you have to limit it or what’s the point of ever returning? If you’re not new you basically have to be there around 5 PM to secure a decent spot on the list. Why bother? You can go to at least 5 other Tuesday mics in a 30 mile radius and, while you might sacrifice a little in quality, at least you’ll get to play (and often more than 1 song). I would limit the shenanigans to the first 10 newcomers based on who got there first. Everything else should be first-come, first-serve. An open mic where you get 1 song should not be a 5-6 hour venture—though people seem to be willing (for whatever reason). Someone should crunch the numbers; they could probably adjust frequency and/or add a cover/minimum purchase and still turn a profit after all the PROs fees. If is your first time, I highly recommend it as the venue is wonderful and professional and the audio setup is great. Really the only issue here is that the mic is so desirable that you can hardly get in on it because newcomers flood the scene; it just makes me wonder how or why anyone is dedicated enough to be a “regular”. As for the eatery itself, the desserts were very good and the people were extremely friendly.

Ive never felt the need to leave a review anywhere before but I even left a review on Yelp and felt that I should leave one on Google with how impressed I was with this place. It was my first time here and I was immediately greeted by the bariste, Mo, short for Maureen maybe? I was having a bad day and she really made it better. She was super sweet and really helpful, she suggested the white velvet and although pretty sweet, it was delicious. The drink I had was phenomenal (a little overpriced maybe) but Ill definitely be going back in the near future especially if Mo is there.

Review №68

I really liked this place. We wanted to go someplace to do some work and this definitely fit the bill. Im not a coffee drinker, so I really appreciated the different tea lattes they had. A bit too sweet, I could probably halve the sugar amount, but very tasty.

First time coming! Delicious drink! I asked which specialty drinks were vegan and she said that any of them can be vegan by switching out the cow’s milk to the variety of non-dairy milk they carry. So, I got the Elvis with almond milk iced :DMy mom got the specialty Nutella iced coffee. She loved it.Great customer service with some chill vibes. :) very satisfied.

A fantastic coffee shop in a convenient location. In downtown, close to the train station, the farmers market, Fullerton college, and more. Great staff, fun regulars, and outdoor live music most days of the week. Sells a wide range of drinks and pastries.

Edit: Im all for supporting local shops but this place has gone downhill, theres better shops in townThis coffee shop is probably my favorite in the area. When I went Omar and Madison were very friendly and attentive. The shop is great but the staff really makes it! Im not close but Ill be coming again!

I dont remember the lattes exact name. But maple pancake or something is pretty much exactly what it tasted like. Friendly barista despite being alone and kinda busy. Cool vibe as well. Little hard to find a place to sit though when they have customers. I will definitely be back to try the other drinks. The ice alone was a plus, the cool kinda ice.

Forget the coffee!I came hopping for a good espresso and of curse being the coffee snob that I am, I was disappointed.The only have dark roast and Very dark roast.... Bitter smoky and not very pleasant to drink.The service in the other hand is really outstanding, friendly, fast and super efficient even though she had a full house and a full outside seating area.The the thing of this place that deserves a 5 STAR rating for me, is the gourmet chocolate DING DONG!! My god! This was really amazing, moist fluffy not over sweet and chocolaty delicious! Its between a brownie and a fudge, sheer perfection! I can go on and on about this delicious treat that surpass the sub-par espresso.I will come again, for a Ding Dong and have the coffee from somewhere else :)
