Super impressed with this spot. Ordered our food and within 5 mins it was at our table. Delicious, cooked right, every thing we asked for and large portions. We order the pulled pork huevos racheros and breakfast tacos, SO good. Customer service was on point, we saw a table leave and within 60 seconds there was 4 different staff all helping to clean the table and get it ready for the next guests. I love the aesthetic and vibe, it felt like home and comfortable yet very chic and modern while adding some pops and color here and there. Parking is tight but there is plenty of parking on the street. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars.
Presentation of chilaquiles outstanding Very colorful plate . But Needed more flavor. Yes the salsa was good and a bit spicy but had to add some salt on it. The tortillas were so hard and crunchy it was like I was eating chips with salsa . Wouldn’t order this plate again. The burritos on the other hand are the best. I recommend trying any of the specialty burritos. Can’t go wrong with that. The bowl of tater tots ! Super flavorful and the toppings are a perfect combo !
Came here on a whim. Absolutely was not disappointed. This big open room is not fancy, the chairs don’t match. All the chandeliers are different and it looks like it was thrown together at the last minute. Then you get your food. I don’t know what magic they use to pack so much flavor in these tasty dishes. The food, the decor, or even the building is not what makes this place special. It’s the staff, they hire at risk youth to give them life skills and prepare them for life.
Cute little spot for breakfast. Everything I have had has been delicious. Good chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, and breakfast skillet. They offer non dairy Creamer options which I appreciate.
The workers are extremely caring, this restaurant has deep community roots, serving many aspects beyond food. Sure the chandeliers don’t match, tables don’t match, and chairs don’t match, making one wonder if they thrifted the whole restaurant…The FOOD however, does not fall short of what you’d expect to be there for you on a perfect mellow Sunday morning. The food taste clean, their ingredients, as I found out reading about their story on their brochure as I ate, is grown by local farmers who partner with the workers. The chicken doesn’t use hormones or antibiotics, they have fresh fruit, overall food I didn’t feel bad about eating, it felt clean.
Great location, great ambiance, great service, great food.
Thanks :)
I recently visited Monkey Business Cafe for breakfast and had a fantastic experience. The cafe was not busy for 9am on a weekday, and we were promptly greeted by the friendly staff. We ordered 2 chilaquiles, one without protein and one with chorizo, a side of home style potatoes, and one order of pancakes. The food took around 10-15 minutes to come out, it was well worth the wait.
The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the green chilaquiles - they did not disappoint! The side of home style potatoes was also very tasty and the pancakes were fluffy and satisfying. The total cost for our meal was between $50-60, which was a bit steep, but we felt that it was worth it for the quality of the food.
The service was great overall. The staff were friendly, attentive and made us feel welcomed throughout our visit.
Went for Sunday morning breakfast. Breakfast bowl make-up was different, thought I would try it. Tasty but don't think I will order it next time. The tater tots was the interesting addition.
Non profit restraunt that serves great food at a good price!!! Went for brunch today and it was so yummy!
Parking is always difficult, but well worth the park and walk!
Stroller friendly, but I would recommend leaving outside or in the car as space is limited.
Wheelchair friendly.
High chairs provided.
I recommend sharing the pancake platter and going for one of the more unique items as your main meal.
It was a good value!

Food was great, big portions and very tasty. The hot chocolate was too hot for our 9-year-old, and the music was a little loud for a chill breakfast. But would highly recommend it.
This was my second visit and it was pretty consistent with my first visit: mediocre service and great food.
It was Labor Day and we were told to wait 20-30 minutes. We didn't need to wait as long but because we were out by the parking lot and didn't hear them call us we were skipped and had to wait another 20 minutes or so to be seated. That's fine. There was fault on our side too.
The people are all quite nice but the service is somewhat lacking in speed, accuracy, and common sense. We had to ask multiple times for extra napkins until we finally received them, we had to ask for syrup, cream (for coffee), and jam when we had ordered waffles and toast.
Despite that, the food here is delicious and staff is friendly. I would willingly return here time and time again.
You know what's better than enjoying a good meal with a good friend? Supporting a good cause SIMULTANEOUSLY! And you can do that HERE!
This is a non-profit cafe assisting at-risk youth. So you can feel favorable spending your hard-earned change here, knowing it will work hard for the community!
So, the menu and food are basic; the service, not exactly top-notch but friendly for the most part! Also, during breakfast today, a late Saturday morning while the place was packed, our coffee cups were constantly monitored for refills, we never had to ask - thumbs up!
Not only do all proceeds benefit their mission but they also support organic coffee farmers & suppliers in serving organic fair trade coffee.
Parking is limited, but if you go on their website you can print a parking permit for a nearby lot.
If you're nearby and want something good, while doing some good... Try some Monkey Business!
It is a small restaurant, really nice inside very friendly, parking is limited. It was Monday morning a little busy, but fast service. Food was good not complains about taste, we order huevos rancheros, waffles, everything was delicious. Just one bad day we got a someone hair on our food .
Friendly, attentive service and great quality and tasting food with a wonderful nonprofit cause. We arrived on a Sunday morning without any wait. The food portions were good in size and the prices seemed fairly average compared to what we had seen while in the LA area. Bonus - we ordered drip coffee and they sent us on our way with a to go cup full!
Met a friend here for brunch. I got the SoCal burrito. My friend got some egg sandwich with sausage and home potatoes. The food was served very quickly and was hot and yummy. The place was clean. And the seating area is very open. As we left, it got crowded and there was a line. Staff was very nice. Parking is limited but there is parking available on the streets and around the neighborhood.
Random location, I was visiting from out of town. I was impressed with the food quality 10/10. Will return when in town.
Breakfast was delicious, had their breakfast waffle sandwich, biscuits and gravy, and cream pancakes. The biscuits and gravy were huge and the pancakes were light and fluffy. Service was especially good
I first came here for a date and it was an amazing experience, the food service and space was all top notch. The second time around I went by myself to grab some food before class. Unfortunately I made the mistake of ordering Acaí at an American breakfast restaurant that's on me but they should change the name from "Acaí Breakfast Bowl" to "Yogurt Breakfast Bowl" because this was the worst Acaí I've ever had. I got the Veggie McMonkey my first and my date got the Berry's and Cream Waffles so I highly recommend those! Just do yourself a favor don't ever get the sad excuse for Acaí EVER. I still recommend this restaurant to anybody in the Downtown Fullerton area.
Very clean place love how all the chairs are different styles. Customers service is great and friendly. The food was delicious and the serve you a decent amount. Definitely coming back here.
Fresh food, great menu, nice service.
My mom can be intentionally difficult, unfairly critical, and all an around unpleasant person, and she liked it!
