Veronese Café and Gallery

This hidden gem of Fullerton offers a tasty selection that harmonizes with its artistic ambiance.

By Kimberly Gomes
January, 2009

As I stumbled across Veronese Café and Gallery, hidden by the foliage and flowers of its garden, I wondered whether it was a residence or my destination. Once inside, the peaceful atmosphere and artwork assured me this café would be the perfect Sunday night treat.

Seeking an artistic alternative to Starbucks, this spot is ideal for a late-night latte that surpasses the average coffee house. After scoping out the menu and art gallery, I realized this cozy Korean-influenced eatery offers all the necessities, ranging from grilled paninis accompanied by a glass of wine to an after-dinner Korean tea and dessert.

The relaxing melody of Jack Johnson perfectly complemented the eatery's environment. Feeling the soothing vibe of this modern café-gallery, I chose the Soojong tea, a thick and flavorful drink full of orange peels, which, according to the menu, assists in decongesting and calming the body.

For dessert I dabbled in the strawberry shaved ice, which exceeded my expectations. This heaping bowl full of strawberry-flavored shaved ice, recommended for at least two, was topped with fresh fruit and delicious strawberry ice cream.

After enjoying my solo experience, I left eager to return with company for another visit, for it would be a shame to keep this restaurant rarity a secret.

I was looking on the Internet for a Study Group Venue. I had looked at two other places and was not happy with them. Then I ran across "Veronese Cafe", I ended up taking the study group there. The Garden was so nice it took us about 10 minutes to decide where we wanted to sit. We all had a drink while studying and ended up staying until 11PM. I had the Green Tea Latte, the cost was about $5 per drink but completely worth the money for a nice relaxing environment. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a quite, peaceful area to relax and enjoy company or a book. I am taking a guest back this weekend to try their dinner menu.
