The coffee is amazing here! Try their Spanish latte.Also, the workspace is great. Plenty of tables, chairs, and cool and well thought out and designed space.

One of my favorite spot in OC to work or study. Very spacious and lots of tables. Their vanilla latte tastes amazing and the breakfast burrito is pretty good too! There are lots of outlets too - almost each table has one.

We got coffee to go. Very clean, nice atmosphere, at Cal State Fullerton. Tables for sitting and working on your laptop; students appeared busy. They have some food, but the menu is on the counter so you can’t see it before ordering (at least when we were there.) The coffee was good but a bit pricey. Several restaurants in the same shopping area within walking distance. Lots of parking.

Beautiful clean coffee shop with interesting (and delicious) drinks and very good food! Love finding places that are both tasty and support a good cause!My group got the able latte with pea flower, the lavender honey latte (yummy but sweet if that’s not your thing), and normal coffee- all were great. We also got the able-ritto, the hazelnut toast, and the avocado toast. As for the able-ritto it was a huge portion and so so good! Also came with a side of avocado which was nice! Only comment was the meat was a little on the salty side. Both toasts were amazing as well. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

This place is cute! Great place to do your homework, it has free Wi-fi. The waffle and Toast are truly amazing! The coffee is strong and has just the right amount of ice. The staff is nice and they have a great mission.

The owner was really friendly :) and the Spanish latte was so good. I’m a coffee lover & didn’t want to go to Starbucks today so I decided to give Able coffee a try. I do not regret it! The only thing that kind of bummed me out was the price. It was good but $7 is pricey for a small cup. Will come back but not too often because of that :/

The coffee has a cute presentation, but slightly burned coffee beans, and small cups. Very cozy study booths. There is wifi but it is difficult to connect to. Staff is not very friendly.

Totally support the concept of this coffee place. Best of all, it has wonderful coffee, tea, and light fare food entrees.Great place to hangout or study. Might take a bit of time to find a parking spot or a place to sit since its a popular place. Also, prices are on the high side so not ideal for someone on a tight budget....

I love this coffee shop! The coffee beans are amazing! Everything from the drinks to the pastries its beyond delicious. I recommend the Able latte and for pastries the toast with strawberries and banana is my favorite. The merch is awesome as well my shirts and sweaters Ive bought still look great. Im an autism Mommy so to see a coffee shop that stands for helping employ individuals w disabilities is just amazing in general. Every bite you take and a drink you sip you are making a change and Im all for that. Thank you so much! I will continue to support Able Coffee Roasters.

Such a nice experience! Staff is super friendly and answered all our questions. Got the Able Latte and it was delicious! Love the blue color.The building is also very spacious with lots of areas to comfortably sit, especially if you want to sit in a spot that is a little more private.

The Able Matcha and Matcha with oat milk are both great. The ambiance here is comfortable and pleasant. On Saturday afternoons it has not been as noisy as other coffee shops. The staff here has been really friendly and willing to answer any questions about the menu. There is plenty of parking. They have clothing and stickers available for sale as well.

The location is modern and chic. Coffee prices are actually pretty good compared to others. Flavor kf my Americano is mild, but still good not bitter at all.

Nice, clean vibe. Food and coffee are great. Really spacious and plenty of seating, convenient with multiple outlets. If you plan in working though, wifi is slow and spotty.

Very modern and clean setup inside. The menu had a good variety. Be sure to check out the seasonal offerings. There was a long line since they were hosting an event with creative babe outdoor market. However, we got our 3 drinks and 2 pastries in minutes. I got the signature Able cold brew with foam. I loved that the foam was dyed a blue color for autism. Very special touch. The coffee was a great flavor. The drink had a good balance of coffee and sweetness. Most of all I truly love that this businesss focus is to employ those with disabilities. It fosters a positive work environment for those that otherwise may be overlooked. Trust me the coffee is delicious, insta worthy pics and service was far better than any Starbucks.

The coffee is fantastic, and I love the mission of this local coffee shop and roaster. Their team is great. The space is friendly and inviting, and they have the most beautiful ceramic mugs you can drink it from. There is plenty of space to work as well.

Its awesome that they employ disabled workers here. 4 stars at least just for that. Coffee itself is okay.

I was shocked how good their black coffee was. I usually need to take a deep breath and brace myself before I take the first sip at Starbucks. Their blend was smooth and absolutely no bitterness. The staff is delightful and Friendly. Plenty of clean open space along with an outlet for charging at almost every seat. Definitely my new go to place.

Absolutely love this place! Delicious coffee and tea and tastes way better than any other coffee chain out there! Super friendly too 💙

Review №21

2023-07-15 21:16:59

The coffee is great here most of the time. But something that concerns me is that one time I heard the baristas talking about how one of the managers here FaceTimes the girls there when they’re not working. Now everytime I go in and I see who I think is the manager working on something on the side of the counter watching the girls. I feel uncomfortable. He never says hi. Wears the same pants and just gives off creepy vibes. The girls also seem quiet when he’s around.

Able is by far my favorite coffee shop. Not only are their menu options super tasty, there is always seating available and it is a comfortable place to work on your laptop if you plan to stay a while. I love the mission behind their business and fully support everything they stand for. We need more business like Able to allow for more opportunities for individuals with disabilities to find jobs and be a part of a supportive and friendly community.

Beautiful atmosphere from the shop itself to the mission and the people they employ. A really playful menu with impressive blends of delicious beans from multiple regions and creative names/ingredients for their drinks. Also have a really nice rotation of seasonal beverages that I wish were year round! Love Able Coffee Roasters!

Great experience! I had been to the Huntington Beach location so this was my first time visiting the Fullerton one. Absolutely love the atmosphere here— easy to find a calm reading or studying nook! Tons of space everywhere too instead of a cramped coffee shop. The Maple Cold Brew was delicious and the employees were super friendly and helpful. This will be one of my staple coffee shops in the area!

Come here all the time, very good drinks. Have had most of the drinks on the menu already and all have been amazing with maybe the exception of the matcha, not a big fan. Nonetheless Able is one of my favorite coffee spots. Owner is very chill and welcoming, as well as Faris and Rachel, who give excellent customer service. Will continue to keep coming back!

I learned something really valuable about this coffee shop that might be helpful for you when coming to this place. I guess one of the things make this company unique is the focus they have on adult with various special needs.They not only employee people with special needs, but also help them grow the skills necessary to be in the workplace. They serve delicious coffee, good food, and have a great indoor atmosphere. I recommend this wonderful place for the best coffee in town.

2022-01-27 02:53:13

Excellent Sensory Latte. Really liked the menu options and seating options! Many places to plug in for those with power needs. There are many different tables for laptops and seating options for a variety of different size groups. There is a hideaway lounge with comfy seats. Indoor and outdoor options available. Nice to know that this place supports the disabled.

My sister ordered coffee, and the waitress never brought it. We found some menus and figured out what to order, but the waitress never bothered to return, and we decided to leave. There are lots of other cafes and restaurants in town, so theres no point in bothering with Able Coffee Roasters.

Exceptional coffee store. I dont drink coffee, but they have a kombucha that is one of the best Ive ever had. The customer service is top notch. Cookies and Muffins are amazing. Go visit this place to have a great customer experience!

I love this coffee shop! It’s my second home & the staff is so nice and welcoming and so are the owners. Also they have great avocado toast and latte’s! They also make an effort to get involved with the local businesses and support their community!!!! Love their mission statement!

For the best parts; the interior is really great to work in. Lots of seating and chargers with a nice light space to focus. The drinks are also very good. Downsides are that the drinks are a little overpriced and the Wi-Fi can’t handle the full capacity of the space. So go expecting to work but not have a connection

Review №33

2022-08-28 21:09:57

Highly recommend. Amazing coffee. Very cute and vibey space. Well decorated and on theme (love that) very friendly baristas :) and cherry on top it’s coffee with a cause! Pop in feel the love enjoy the coffee and peep the mission statement 💙💙💙

Aside from the important message Able Coffee Roasters emphasizes with regards to inclusion, community, and employing differently-abled people, the coffee is damn good. There menu has a very focused variety of speciality drinks from a Rose Chai Latte to a Honey Lavender Latte. But if you just want a quality cup of drip coffee - they got that too and it is equality tip top. A great place to set up to get some work done or ideal for a quick caffeine fix, if you are gonna spend on coffee, Able is the kind of place you feel good about doing so.

I loved my experience! I think everything about this shop is great and what it stands for is amazing. Such a wonderful way to help in this crazy world we need more people like these owners around. Ive read some poor reviews and I dont think they get what this shop is about it is more than just a cup of coffee (I found the coffee delicious by the way) its so much more. Thank you for bringing this company to our community HB is great but a Little drive. I went by JC at the store trying to make it easy my name is way to long. I also bought some merchandise cant wait to have hoodies restocked I need a couple more.

Literally pass by this place as I go to school at CSUF and I finally tried it the other day. I forgot the name of the coffee I got but the barista recommended it for my coffee preference. Great place to study with plenty of outlets. I went a little earlier in the morning and around noon that is when it got busier.

I won’t be back. Coffee (just black coffee) was expensive and mediocre. But behind the counter looked like a frat kitchen. Come on…

I had the mango matcha and my boyfriend got the cortado and we both enjoyed our drinks! The matcha had a good balanced flavor and the mango flavor was fresh tasting. They added the perfect amount of matcha too!

I stopped by today and ordered a sensory latte because Faris, the person serving me, recommended it. The latte was amazing just like his customer service and he is a perfect example of what a barista should strive to be like. Faris made my drink super quick and I did not have to wait long at all. I will definitely be coming back!

This Coffee house is not only making delicious drinks they are spreading the word about Autism. They usually have someone there working that has Autism. Great drinks and enthusiastic workers.

Review №45

2022-02-21 03:27:59

Plenty of comfy places to sit, great coffee, and amazing treats. But, the real standout, here, is that this locally-owned and operated business supports job-training and placement for differently- abled people. Check them out on Nutwood across from Cal State Fullerton - or visit their store in Huntington Beach.

WHY ARE PEOPLE DOING THIS??? This business is being attacked by fake reviews and hacking attacks. This is a BEAUTIFUL shop with a great vibe and a great cause. The fake reviews are inaccurate, deceitful and malicious. They were rated incredibly well for a long time and then a sudden flood of negativity began. Shame on whoever is orchestrating this. Don’t you have anything better to do??? My hope is that google will intervene as these negative reviews are clearly fake and malicious. AGAIN, great shop with a great vibe.

OMG! I just realized that I left a review for the incorrect location, but this is my exact review meant for THIS location:Not only was the coffee quality top tier, but the service and energy was also top tier. Their employee Faris is new, but you really cant tell because he seems like an expert.

Review №57

2022-02-17 18:27:28

Went thisMorning to try for first time. Store closed between 10-11. Poor service and poor start to a new business. Pre opening meetings for team not unheard of. No desire to go back and will likely inform others. Poor business choice.

Went to check it out today and it was closed from 10-11:30am. They had no sign or anything saying it would be. Honestly after that I have no interest in coming back. I’m surprised that it wouldn’t be open considering it’s next to a university where all the students always get coffee. Poor business decision.
