"Beautiful courtyard atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Food was very delicious (best grilled cheese and tomato soup I’ve ever had), but portions were a tad bit small. Decently priced. They were a bit busy when we arrived, which wouldn’t have been an issue, but our initial hostess who sat us was a bit sluggish (our waitress who brought out the food was phenomenal and attentive though!)"

"I recently saw a TikTok video by Chef Glen and decided to visit the Brownstone Cafe to see what they're all about. I've lived in Fullerton for 2 and a half decades, y'all and didn't know this gem was hiding in plain sight...well almost. ☺️🫣 I had the Grilled chicken, mushroom, cheddar and avocado sandwich with the tomato basil soup. This comes as a combo with a cup of soup. I love tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, so I was curious and confident so I asked for a bowl of the soup. Everything was so delicious! My first bite of the sandwich almost had me jump up and throw my glasses 🤓 (IYKYK)! The soup is also delicious! Paul Hollywood would probably call it "rustic" since it contains small bits of the ingredients that you can chew on as enjoy the soup's flavor. I went on a warm and sunny January afternoon. The courtyard there inside of Villa del Sol is a secret oasis in the middle of Downtown Fullerton. I overheard my server, Kim, tell the customers at the next table that the building is 100 years old. California feels relatively young in comparison to the East Coast, but 100 years is nothing to sneeze at. I definitely recommend The Brownstone Cafe."

"Ordered the meat lovers omelette with sour cream and avocado. Fantastic omelette. Potatoes have a great texture to them but do taste slightly like chorizo which was good to my girlfriend but I wasn’t too big a fan. The three cheese sandwich tasted home made. Nothing crazy but not offensive. The tomato bisque was sweet for me which I did not like. Food overall was a 7/10. Atmosphere 10/10. Service for the amount of staff I’d say was about 10/10."

"The food is delicious with a great variety to choose from. The owners are personable and professional. I have dined there with different friends for breakfast and lunch. Delicious and charming and two words that keep coming up. There is a choice of seating either outside next to a fountain with umbrellas, or inside which is nice too. It's located in downtown Fullerton in the historic Villa del Sol. Enjoy!"

"Quaint , quiet place being a throwback in time ........ Being to Folsom Powerhouse ( first ever to use 60 Hertz as new technology in 1895 delivering to Sacramento ) Visited July 23-2024 @ 10:00 . Is unfair that not a 4 1/2 star is rendered in system... Was brought a glass of ice water before being offered any drinks , in retrospect she was a very perceptive waitress noticing that I was about to break a sweat. Easily becoming a 5 star review for service ... ... Notice in pic that the location is grandiose - South facing and the slighlty wet patio - perfect for a summer outing -. A mini bouquet in every table indoors adding to the ambiance. ..... Arched , brick old building as shown ... Food was delicious .First time ever in my 60+ reviews history that the cook came to my table to thank me for letting him cook to my order . Only thing CLASHING is the hanging pictures . Right motif - food/veggies ; but modernistic colors . Colors are too vibrant , need subdued colours to a full epic throwback in time"
