Kei Coffee House – Trendy Spot for Creative Drinks and Cozy Vibes in Fountain Valley
Nestled in the Fountain Valley/Westminster area, Kei Coffee House stands out as a stylish and lively café that draws a steady crowd with its inventive drinks, photogenic food, and modern, cozy atmosphere.
The interior design is impressive — a blend of brick, wood, and industrial-modern elements, featuring a bar counter, plush sofas, and sleek round tables. Whether you’re here to catch up with friends or just want to sip on something unique, it’s got the aesthetic and vibe to match.
The drink menu is bold and creative. I tried the Sweet Corn Latte, which was the highlight — a cold foam made from real corn adds a layered sweetness and saltiness that pairs surprisingly well with the coffee's bitterness. It’s a flavor experience worth trying if you’re into adventurous lattes.
Food-wise, the Beer Pâté Chaud is a winner — crisp and flaky on the outside, with a rich and savory chopped beef filling. The Classic Egg Sando, however, tasted more like a pre-packaged item than something freshly made, so it was a bit underwhelming. The Mango Sticky Rice was an interesting twist — warm sticky rice topped with cold mango slices, served with a side of peanuts. While the hot-and-cold combination felt odd at first, the flavor and texture came together nicely.
The croissants on display looked tempting, and I’d definitely come back to try more of their pastries.
Despite being open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., the café is almost always busy, all day long. Seating is limited, and the space can get noisy, so it may not be ideal for working or studying long hours. Plug-in spots are also scarce, so come with a full battery. They offer free Wi-Fi (up to 4 hours) with a purchase, accessed via the receipt number.
Staff are friendly but very busy, which can slow down service during peak times. That said, they seem to keep the dining area and restrooms relatively clean, even with the high foot traffic.
