"A great coffee shop serving flavorful and bold cups of coffee with a side of tranquility. Serves what seems fresh bakery items that pair well with the coffee that is offered. A much calmer and relaxing environment than other franchised coffee shops. The location offers a great view to enjoy sunrise. The coffee cake was delicious. Prices are no different than any other coffee shop. Yet it I felt much better patronizing this store as it feels like a true small business."

"I left my expectations to be met, but when I took the first sip, I was surprised! I ordered a caramel latte, and the espresso had a beautiful bitter and "fruity" note! It's a rare find in smaller coffee shops. And the blueberry muffin was amazing, super moist and delicious. The coffee and muffin were an elite combo."

"Bright cafe with minimalistic interior design with decent amount of seating. Staff was nice and fast with their service I orderd the White Chocolate Latte, it was creamy, foamy, a bit on the sweeter side, but still good. I loved the foam art!"

"On my way back from a doctor's appointment in the Fullerton area, I had a craving for a refreshing tea. To my delight, I stumbled upon a tea shop that offered a variety of loose herbal teas, including caffeine-free options. Parking was ample in the small lot shared by several businesses. The outdoor seating area provided a pleasant spot to enjoy the tea on a nice day. Inside, there were various seating choices, including bar stools overlooking the bustling and stylish brewing area. Peter, the friendly server, assisted me in selecting the Herbal Forest Berry tea, which he recommended iced, and it exceeded my expectations. Brewed with freshly loose leaves, it was served at the perfect temperature. The only thing that could have improved my experience would be gluten-free and/or vegan pastry options or snacks to accompany my drink. Peter mentioned they have two other locations in Norwalk and Buena Park, which I'm eager to explore in the future."

"Coffee Code is completely unassuming from the entrance. Located in a shopping center by Del Taco and across the way from Starbucks, I skipped past the location before realizing I missed my turn, and headed back. Parking is ample. When I approached the cafe, I passed patrons with dogs who had a big water tray to drink from. By the time I left, hours later, the tray was still there, so it's clearly something Coffee Code will provide for dogs, which is nice. Inside is totally different from the exterior - here you are met with minimalist white, clean lines, nothing on the walls, wood tile for the flooring. They have state of the art Italian equipment and from the looks of the beans they are selling, they roast a variety of their own beans. This would be a great option for those who brew their own espresso or coffee regularly at home - local, fresh beans! One quip I have is that when I walked in, I couldn't find a menu anywhere. I paced back and forth to find one until I realized there's just the one menu in front of the person who is currently ordering. While I saved a spot with my bag, multiple others walked in and went ahead of me in line, so at this point the line was 5 people long, with none of us able to see the menu in the meanwhile. When I got to the front I needed a second to view the menu - I think that having a larger menu displayed would certainly help streamline the ordering process. I asked which of the drinks are most popular, and the staff shared the Spanish latte and the Strawberry latte are most popular. I came by three hours til close, so by then most of the baked goods were gone, but it looked like a great selection. Note that when you pay, you will be asked to tip and tipping starts at 18%. I always customize the tip to reflect 15% - this isn't a restaurant where I would do 20% - I'm not sure if I got a funny look, but it kind of felt that way. I could be projecting! I ordered, sat down, and got to work. Now, if you're looking for a coffee shop to work from, I'm not sure if I recommend this spot. The music was extremely loud. I have a great pair of noise-cancelling headphones and I could still hear some music through them. That's how loud the cafe is. The tables are also very small and very close together. There are five tables outside with ample seating, and inside there are only four, with usually two spots per table - they have a spare chair or two I saw them remove so I'm assuming they will provide those if you need three to a table, for example. The staff remembers you and your order consistently. I noticed they simply alert a patron their beverage is ready. If they call it out, they simply don't know who it belongs to. They had three staff on hand all equally trained in all aspects of the business, so frequently some were cleaning especially closer to closing. Some staff are friendlier than others ;) I had a colder experience vs other patrons who came in later who had a different staff help them. I ordered the ICED STRAWBERRY LATTE ($6.65? Around $6) - 6.5/10 The latte is extremely floral, slightly sweet, with coffee ice cubes. It's pleasant but one note, for sure. I realize they likely don't make this hot as the flavors probably bode better when iced. I appreciate the coffee ice cubes - I finished half and later had a second drink, in a way! For vegan friends, it looks like they have alternative milks available such as oat, almond and soy, but that will run you an extra $1.25, same as if you ordered an extra shot of espresso! I don't understand when places do this as vegan milk, even high quality ones, is cheaper than whole milk. They have an impressive selection of teas, which are loose leaf. I would be curious in trying their cold brew in the future, or a pour over, as I'd like to try their bean quality since it's their beans. I just cannot recommend this spot for a work or study session due to how cramped and loud it is, but more as a spot to drop in and pick up a drink to go. Clearly they put a lot of care into their coffee, and that is why most of you are reading the reviews :)"
