50 Best Cafes near Alhambra

“The best popcorn chicken in this area and the best boba milk tea for a decent price. It has been my regular over 10 years!! And shout out to shifu and fangjie(the owners) thank you for serving the neighborhood for so long and the best food as always.“

“This place has consistently excellent drinks and service, including good managers. They use quality ingredients that make you never want to go anywhere else once you've tried 7 leaves. Their matcha is my favorite in the SGV and you get more than double for the same price as starbucks. It's such a good deal.“

“Here for the reasonably-priced and various pastries. I usually have it for breakfast or as a snack. They do run out towards the end of the day so would recommend coming early. I’ve never ordered a drink from the counter but on my most recent visit, did pick up a bottle of milk tea from the fridge and it tasted pretty good although a bit expensive. I don’t have a favorite pastry but am a fan of the taro ones.

Garage entrance is on a side street just off of Main so 2-hour parking is easy. There is some seating inside if you wanted to eat in. Staff is friendly. Definitely will be back every so often.“

“JayDees is a dive bar that has good food & great drink prices! There's no need for happy hour, when your there prices are always low! It's one reason you'll see alot of old timers there having a blast. It's affordable. Good vibes/Good atmosphere“

“Such a nice café with a lovely atmosphere — perfect for catching up with friends.

The tuna sandwich is really good, packed with plenty of tuna and served with a berry-sauce salad on the side.

The chicken pesto sandwich also comes with a generous portion of chicken. The prices are reasonable and the portions are satisfying. I’ll definitely come back next time to try other items on the menu.“

“Delicious breakfast“

“Cha Express Handmake black rice milk tea , puff cream bubble milk tea and hawaii fruit tea is the best . Place is clean and comfort . I will definitely try other drinks next time“

“Our favorite place to eat when we fly into Los Angeles! A huge menu and everything we tried was tasty. And the portions are huge with very reasonable prices. The menu is big & diverse, containing Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian dishes, as well as fish & chips, steaks, chops, and grilled chicken. YUM!“

“The best soups love the salads love the bread 🥖 Delicious“

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“Love how I can go for a walk before/after the coffee since it’s attached to the walkway. There are plenty of sitting area outdoor.

My personal downsides are that (1) their indoor tables/chairs are so short so I cannot properly get any work done. (2) they dont have a charging station. They have one plug by the entrance but that doesnt work. So inconvenient.“

“We needed a break this morning and this place provided the perfect vibe and atmosphere for us. The quality of the chilaquiles alone compelled me to write a review. They were the best that I have had. I have tried many that are too rich and others are too skimpy in what they offer. These chilaquiles were a perfect balance of ingredients. I tried the red/green salsa (banderas). I usually tend toward green but this red salsa blew me away. The flavor was exquisite.
The mexican mocha is also a nice experience.“

“Awesome healthy food! A ton of vegan options. And the price is great too. You'll meet alot of grassroots artists and cultural creatives here,as well as spiritual people. All tribes are welcome here!“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

“one of the best places in los Angeles California“

“Today I came in to try hello you’re welcome and I am so happy that I did. I’m glad this coffee shop popped up on my TikTok fyp. The staff is very friendly. The cashier is very welcoming and attentive. She made you feel like you were a close friend, it’s my bday week and she over heard and put a candle on my strawberry donut which I think is very thoughtful of her. The pastries are scrumptious. The ice vanilla latte was very good they garnish it with cinnamon. Not too bitter not to sweet just right. I will definitely come back. I love the 70s wallpaper, retro look inside. The vintage fish ware takes you back.“

“Casual coffee / tea shop that also has specialty pastries. Highly recommend their Espresso Cloud iced. It's delish. Also recommend trying the Black Sesame Dark Chocolate Cookie, the Milk Cream Bun, and the Yuja Kumquat Tart; all three are very delish and not too sweet.“

“I knew I was in good hands when I entered and heard their baristas singing “Pink Pony Club” at the top of their lungs! The energy was great and exactly what I needed after a killer workout class. I ordered the Two Ladies Avo Toast, which was absolutely delicious! Generous portion of avocado, egg, and pickled red onion on top of a fresh toasted slice of sourdough.
However, I was really disappointed with the amount of chocolate drizzle/syrup on the inside of my mocha. The ice literally stuck to the syrup on the inside, making it all clump together. A proper mocha really doesn’t need all that chocolate (or any drizzle for that matter)— had I known, I would’ve ordered without it. Minus one star for the mocha. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience and I’d totally go back!“

“I am visiting from Massachusetts and THIS place is THE BEST for quality, portions, price and friendliness of staff!!! and also the nice location, seating options (inside or balcony outdoors!) sunny!..geat mountain view!..casual and super clean and organized! A+++++++ my 2nd day here in a row for breakfast and the coffee is EXCELLENT & large cups too! ❤️“

“Love to start my day with fresh orange juice and bagels here. Staff is welcoming and cheerful“

“Tried the crepe rolls at Roll Cafe today and they were absolutely delicious! You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Maria and Isabel were both so friendly and welcoming — they made the whole experience even better. Excited to have this new spot around and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

“Came here 5/7 days for breakfast on my trip to LA... I could hardly pull myself away from their chilaquiles!! Wow. Both with their signature Oaxacan mole and their homemade red and green salsas, truly unbelievable. AND their service was always hospitable and sincere!!“

“Oh my goodness! This place was such a beautiful find. I absolutely loved all the options they had for gluten-free and dairy free. I got the lemon cake and two of the sprinkle cookies to bring home to me and my family. The bread options are amazing for gluten-free as well. I ended up getting their chorizo and egg for breakfast. Absolutely amazing food. On the side I got tater tots, they were crunchy and very tasty. Not greasy, which is hard to do when you fry something. We sat in the back where the wine area is because it was really hot that day so the ambience in that little area was very quirky and eclectic. It’s a very comforting delicious place to go visit if you’re hankering for some gluten-free, dairy free pastries. Did I mention the entire place is vegan!“

“Highlight Coffee Shop in Glendale, CA is a true gem for coffee lovers. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a cozy coffee experience.“

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!“

“Yi’s Cafe is hands down the most competitive for the value you’re getting. The coffee is great, and their sandwiches are honestly the best value for your buck — better quality than anywhere else nearby at a price that’s hard to beat. Every time I order, the owner throws in a free muffin or two, no charge. Small touch, big difference. Highly recommend.

Don’t sleep on their sandwiches!“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“es el mejor lugar los mejores cafes y postres ynoseles olvide llevar su rikisimo pastel selos recomiendo. está rikisimo todo“

“The people at the Kawada Hotel recommended this wonderful diner. I walked in and fell in love with the place. I'm not a fancy person,but I may as well have been eating at a Michellin Stared restaurant. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly. I love ❤️ a good diner for breakfast. If I were to recommend something, it would be to have something other than plastic silverware. Bring the kids...“

“Good coffee first time visiting this place. Will definitely go back.“

“My girlfriends and I were looking for a good brunch spot and ended up finding this hidden gem in Huntington Park. From the moment we saw the menu and photos, everything looked amazing — we honestly wanted to try everything! So we decided to order a few different dishes and share.

We ordered the chicken and waffles, a chilaquiles plate, and the French toast combo, and every dish was delicious.

The chicken and waffles were fantastic. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, served on top of a waffle that was just the right size. There was actually enough chicken for the three of us to share.

The French toast combo came with breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs, and beef bacon. Everything was flavorful and again, the portion was generous enough for us all to enjoy.

But the star of the table for me was the chilaquiles. The tortillas were coated in a delicious sauce and mixed with eggs, creating the perfect balance — not too soggy and not too crunchy. They had just the right crispness. The dish was served with refried beans, queso seco, sour cream, and a spicy sauce on the side that added the perfect kick.

We truly enjoyed every bite of our brunch. This place is a hidden gem, and I will definitely be coming back!“

“Delicious food and wonderful staff“

“Located at the City National Plaza, about 2 blocks away from the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.

Long line, expensive, and not so great service, but they make some amazing coffee. $6.00 for a vegan donut, $4.25 for an iced americano, and $2.50 to add cloud foam.

Parking is difficult around this area.“

“I enjoyed the good quality, quick service, and ample seating area. Was a good place to work and my drink was refreshing. Bubble waffle with ice cream was a super treat. I’ll be seeing a lot more of hop cafe in Arcadia.“

“Great coffee and amazing staff.“

“best place! been coming here for sometime. can't wait for them to open in altadena.“

“My favorite breakfast place when we visit DTLA. The atmosphere is excellent and it’s next to my favorite bar.“

“Delicious drinks with some really creative ones I’ve not seen anywhere else. Staff really friendly and cool. So flavorful. Only thing is I wish it was slightly stronger but that comes with getting a latte. The vibe is nice - hopefully one day there’s sit down areas.“

“The atmosphere is very nice, the inside is a bit cramped though. I ordered the matcha latte and it was good, but honestly wasn't anything too special and it was a little overpriced imo, I've had better. Extra point for the vibes tho“

“Immediately after I walked in I was greeted in a real way and asked what I was feeling like. They made me the special they have currently which was delicious. I also bought their Everything Bagel Croissant which was also delicious and unique. Geeky vibe with cozy energy. Excited to return.“

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“I enjoy CC for its smoothness. mostly I just get the regular drip coffee. yesterday like every visit the staff is friendly and customers are mostly local nice and polite. now I live in Maryland so I order CC online. still tasty but sitting at the marble counter makes it special“

“A little over 3 years ago, Fleur Cafe opened, and has been a fine success as a small, one-of family restaurant with excellent service and great food at reasonable prices. Now they have expanded their kitchen, and finally introduced an expanded menu with wonderful new dishes added to the popular favorites! I personally enjoy the outdoor dining option, but they have also got a nice little dining room. Prices have gone up a bit, but it is still a very reasonable breakfast, brnch and lunch choice.“

“It's so good. I had the French toast because I always get Mexican - enchiladas or chilaquiles - so wanted to change it up and it was so custardy, delicious, bathed with strawberries and bananas. I also want to support Gloria's and go against an unfair boycott of this wonderful local restaurant.“
