Upcoming El Niño Season 2027: Live Music Moving Indoors

As we look ahead to the upcoming 2027 El Niño storm season, we want to give our Fullerton community advance notice regarding our patio stage. To ensure our musical performers, sound equipment, and wonderful patrons stay warm and dry during wet weather, all scheduled live music and performance events will be moved inside the coffeehouse during rainy conditions.

Because our indoor coffeehouse space is much more intimate than the outdoor brick patio, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause regarding reduced seating capacity and potential scheduling adjustments during peak stormy nights. We deeply appreciate your patience, warmth, and understanding as we cozy up indoors together.

We always do our best for the Fullerton community and will continue to deliver quality coffee and a place for live music Rain or Shine 🌧️☕🦉

Carrying the Torch: The Thursday Night Jazz Legacy

Since our early years, Thursday Night Jazz has held a deeply valued place on our stage. We see our weekly jazz gathering as carrying on a genuine legacy of great music and legendary musicians. From warm trumpet solos to tight upright bass grooves, our brick patio offers an intimate, non-ticketed setting where jazz lives in downtown Fullerton.

Audience Participation

Performer Guide: How Audience Participation Works

None of our shows are ticketed — anyone can walk in, grab a coffee or pastry, and listen for free. For nights with audience participation (Monday Karaoke, Tuesday Open Mic, Saturday Acoustic Showcase, and Sunday Community Night), performers simply make any purchase at the register. The barista gives you a physical sign-up ticket to hand to the host when you put your name on the list!
