So, let me tell you about Play Coffee in Fullerton Downtown.

Yeah, there's a franchise over in Orange City too, but I'll get to that another time.

I stumbled upon Play Coffee thanks to my girlfriend.

It's super close to home, so I swing by there pretty often.

Coffee Menu

At 'Volcano Latte', their signature drink is the Volcano Latte, 

which is a bit sweet with some condensed milk. 

They sprinkle this black sugar powder on top that kind of looks like 

a mini volcano erupting, 

but honestly, I just drink it without overthinking it. 

Still hits the spot though! 

Another popular one is the 'Espresso Tonic'. 

They mix espresso with tonic water and throw in some orange zest at the end. 

Starts off all refreshing and ends with this nice citrusy kick. 

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's perfect for chilling on a hot day.

They've got a variety of donuts too.

Haven't given them a shot myself, but hey, why not try?

Vibe | Seats

The place has this modern vibe with cool container boxes painted in blue and orange,

giving off that refreshing Pacific feel.

It's like you're getting a taste of California.

And the seating's kind of spread out all over the place, which is kinda neat.

There are plenty of tables both in the containers and the building,

so you can sit comfortably with some space.

Lots of college kids, you know, the "study with a laptop while sipping coffee" type,

hanging around.

It's quieter and less crowded on the building side compared to the container area.

Outside, there are two spots: one near the entrance and another

on the terrace behind the containers.

Outside the containers, there are some private nooks where couples can chat for hours.

On sunny days, chilling on the terrace by the entrance, 

soaking up the sun while enjoying your coffee, sounds like a plan.

Just a heads up, though, during Super Bowl season,

things can get pretty rowdy at the bar next door with all the yelling and cheering.

Features

Restroom

The most important thing, especially for guys who gotta go real quick, is the bathroom.

Don't sweat it, there's one for guys and one for gals inside, so you're all good.

Goods

they sell other stuff like tumblers, tea, and bags.

Tips

Tip #1

This place even makes their own sugar-free syrup on the side,

so if you're into that, just ask the staff, and they'll hook you up or have it ready

when you pick up your coffee.

Tip #2

play(@drinkplaycoffee) they've got these Play Poker Chips

Don’t bring them to the Casino. They're $5 gift cards.

You can use them to snag any fancy drink you want at any Play Coffee shop

next time you swing by.

If any of you have checked this spot out or tried something different,

drop a comment below.

I'm curious about what else they've got.
