Van Dyke Coffee Roasters
8542 Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA
Crema's Take
“This Fullerton roastery wins you over with its minimalist rustic charm and the hypnotic sight of beans being roasted right there in the shop, filling the space with that intoxicating aroma that only a working roaster can provide. The baristas genuinely remember your order and treat you like a regular from day one, while their smooth, expertly-crafted espresso drinks and house-roasted beans keep people driving down from Northern California just to stock up. It's the kind of place where you can actually settle in, let the upbeat background music wash over you, and feel like you've discovered something real in the specialty coffee world.”

A cozy coffee shop with minimalistic rustic design and ample seating. There is upbeat music playing lightly in the background. Nice place to hangout if you want to sit and sip your coffee. The staff is nice and fast with their services. I ordered the Toffee Nut latte which was rich, smooth and creamy.
Barista and Cashier here always super nice, they know my order of my green tea matcha latte! Super fast and a nice sweet kick before my work! Super sweet workers and I always come every week once or twice! Lots of liquid as well for the price compared to other coffee shops.
What a shame. The beans are AMAZING! My iced latte was so smooth and delicious, but they didn’t fill my cup up. When I asked, they said I got light ice. I have to get a milk alternative because of a dairy intolerance so I already had to pay $1 extra for milk and then they didn’t fill my cup all of the way up. I don’t prefer a watered down super cold drink. I’m sure there is a person out there that likes extra ice. It all balances out. Common reasoning skills. They did not apologize or make it right. We purchased six other drinks as well that were good. The lack of customer service was appalling at a small business. Please do better.
We live in Norcal and every time we drive down to Socal, we make a stop at Van Dyke coffee for their coffee, coffee beans, large-sized cookies and scones. My kids devoured the cookies as soon as we bought them so no pictures, but my favorite is the chocolate cookie with melted marshmallow in the middle and my kids' favorite is (of course) cookies & cream and M&Ms. But more importantly, going back to the quality of coffee, it's top-notch coffee. The owner roasts the coffee beans himself. I always pick up bags of espresso blend to drink back home- well balanced with deep nutty and chocolaty flavors.
A cute coffee shop near Fullerton municipal airport. They roast their beans in the giant roaster thing at the store and the price isn't too bad either. There used to be more seating area but they moved their roaster thing-y and got rid of the tables and chairs that used to be there. I got toffee nut latte with oreo cookie and chocolate&walnut cookie. The cookies were huge and only cost $2.95. Oreo cookie had oreos and dried cranberries but was a bit dry so I regret getting it. Chocolate&walnut was better- it had somewhat melted chocolate morsels and good amount of walnuts. It'd be a nice stop for a cup of coffee if you are in the neighborhood. *5/11/2022 update: Went there today and got vanilla latte with oat milk- coffee tasted much smoother to my taste.👍
