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.“

“I love 7 Leaves for their consistency and this location is no different. This location is open early in the morning and they have plenty of options that's not just boba tea.

My wife and I love to visit 7 Leaves and our favorites are most certainly the summer mint, oolong milk tea, and their Japanese Matcha. Aside from milk tea and fruit tea options, they have coffee options hence why they open earlier than most boba spots. Another unique part is that 7 Leaves are known for their drive through ordering. This spot has one as well which is great.

Interior is clean and spacious as well, you'll often find people on their devices or lounging around. Very clean and and vibrant overall. Love the consistency of this location as staff is friendly and quick. Drinks are high quality and very much a spot that you can be consistent with.“

“I recently visited Bon Appetea Cafe in Alhambra, and I can't rave about it enough! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Their tea selection is impressive, with unique and delicious flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. I also tried their matcha latte and a few pastries, both of which were delightful! The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall fantastic experience. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by — you won't be disappointed!“

“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“

“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!“

“From the time we parked the car to the time we left we were treated with a kindness and respect rarely seen nowadays. My wife had there famous chiliquiles and I had the carnitas omelette. The food was amazing and the service was great. It was my first time here and won't be the last. Try it out not just for the great cause but for the great food.“

“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“

“Great spot! My mom is celiac and it’s rare (like never happens!) that she can find a gf donut. This spot is dedicated gluten free and she was soooo stoked to visit Hello Yr Welcome twice during her recent visit to LA. We got 3 donuts her first time in and 1/2 dozen the second (bc she loved them so much). They were all very flavorful and delicious!

Staff is super friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. Oh and the coffee is great. I got some delicious espresso / good flavor and not bitter - they know how to pull a shot ☕

Also worth noting that all the breakfast sandos and other items look delicious as well! But we were just focused on my moms rare opportunity to enjoy a donut

Worth getting here early as they do tend to sell out of some flavors by afternoon. We found there’s plenty of street parking in the surrounding area, even on the weekends.

Thanks for an awesome dedicated gf bakery, hello yr welcome team 🙏“

“What an absolute gem of a find! I visited for the first time today—and to my absolute delight, just five minutes from my home, I found a real maritozzo con panna that transported me straight back to Rome! You have no idea how happy this made me.
If I could, I’d give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars! If I may humbly offer one tiny, respectful suggestion from a passionate Roman heart: try making the cream (la panna) completely unsweetened. In Rome, we keep the whipped cream unsweetened because the light dusting of powdered sugar on top and the soft, sweet brioche bun already provide the perfect amount of sweetness.
At first glance, unsweetened cream might feel like it's missing something, but I promise you, it creates such a delicious balance that people will end up ordering two! Back home, I can easily polish off two in one sitting, whereas here I was full after one just from the extra sugar rush. (And you will save money on the sugar saved !)
Thank you for making such a wonderful place and bringing a taste of Italy so close to home. I can't wait to come back!“

“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 had the breakfast burrito and California omelette. Both were extremely delicious and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was excellent. The place was clean. The service was above and beyond. They were so kind. I would highly recommend the food and location.“

“one of the best places in los Angeles California“

“I’m not sure how this place hasn’t received 5 stars in every review?! I had the goats cheese baguette with fig butter and prosciutto and my hubby had the roast chicken. We arrived 30 minutes ahead of closing on a Thursday and despite the fact they looked to be clearing up we were welcomed warmly and enjoyed the BEST sandwiches we’ve had! Do yourself a favour and go see for yourself!“

“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“

“Stopped by on my way to work for my first visit, and I’m officially hooked! Found easy street parking right out front and ordered using the kiosk inside. It has a small interior and there were a few customers inside, however the worker was very quick with all our orders! I got a tiramisu iced latte, a matcha pastry, and a ham & cheese croissant sandwich, all three for just $8! You can’t beat that price point, especially given the quality. The coffee had a distinct tiramisu flavor, the pastry was perfectly balanced, and the sandwich was warm and crispy. Definitely going back!“

“From the first interaction with staff till the very last, loved every part of my visit. They were very busy that day but the guy was so sweet and attentive. He was the only one serving the tables but remained super kind. I ordered the red chilaquiles with carnitas and asked for the spicy salsa to pour on top and wow - amazing flavor. Truly recommend these chilaquiles. I want to go back!“

“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😒😒“

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

“Great coffee. LA breakfast burrito was bomb, hot sauce was bomb, sausage was a highlight. Out of bacon and steak 💔 and they serve milk which threw me off. Crunchwrap was tasty they had well seasoned beans. The cinnamon roll was bready soft and tasty. The frosting was cloying and overwhelmed the cinnamon roll IMO. Overall great selection and would come back to try the other baked goods and menu options. Would line to see a fully vegan menu but will take what I can get!! 💚 Updated from previous review on 2026-08-14“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“This is a fun coffee place, particularly for music photographers like me. The owner is the guitar player of System of a Down, and the place is packed with photography. Expect excellent coffee, a limited range of delicious food and don't forget to check out the patio in the back. As I would prefer this place over any Starbucks, I give this place "only" four to of five - and not for quality/ service/ ambiance reasons: it is mandatory in my ranking scheme that I must be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to go here - and even though I really liked the place: this would be too much to ask for as I simply, at my age, prefer places where they serve me.“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“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...“

“The Neighborhood Cafe is such a wonderful spot! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor, and everything was prepared with great care. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. I had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back. Five stars!“

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

“👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“got lucky and the line was short & went by fast. the cashier was kind &overall pleasant experience once inside

just sad the Spanish Latte was very average(would not order again)
Next time I'll try the Vienna it looked much tastier.“

“Muy rico desayuno auntentico de Guatemala,servició excepcional empezando por la cajera y terminando con los meseros mi primera vez en este lugar y wow 10/10“

“Lil' East is the best! Great coffee and matcha! Love the mocha and cereal milk matcha. The syrups/sauces are made in house. Not a monin bottle in sight so you know you're in good hands. They sell products from other small businesses. Lots of plants and simple stools to sit on to enjoy your coffee. Support small businesses! 👏 This is one of the good ones.“

“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.“

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

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“At first I skeptical because of the price and wait time. But as soon as I got a croissant, I was impressed. The croissant was HUGE. So fluffy and all the ingredients taste very fresh. Most definitely worth the price and wait. The guy is very friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“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.“

“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“
