23 Best Coffee Shops in Alhambra

“It's not the best banh mi around, but certainly the best price/quality ratio in Alhambra. The line can be long and you can order ahead (phone), but if you just drop by around noon. Expect a bit of a wait. The owner speaks English, Vietnamese and Cantonese, so walk in with no fear. Coffee is excellent here too.“

“This spot is a local gem! Extremely delicious and authentic Indo food in our neighborhood. We tried the Kwe Tia’s Goreng which is similar to pad see ew and Perkedel which is like a potato fritter, but our favorite was the Nasi Bungkus, which was a sampling of different curries on top of rice paired with fried chicken. It was so delicious, and the sambals on the side were really spicy, which was a nice surprise! The chef was very welcoming and friendly, and there is tons of space in the dining room to sit down and eat. I’ll definitely be coming back for takeout and try the noodle dishes!“

“I'm legally blind and I was actually there to visit my cardiologist roughly 6 minute walking distance on the other end of 1st Street. I got myself into a dilemma by buying two dozen of egg tarts which comes in two large pizza size boxes. The young lady who helped me at the store first told me they don't have such a big bag for those boxes, but she obviously considered my convenience so she went to the bag and dig out a large size shopping bag. I guess you can tell how appreciative I was even though those boxes have to go in sideway anyway... It still helped me to hold those boxes in one hand and my white cane on the other.“

“Love the style of the cafe, and the coffee is delicious, so well balanced not too sweet not too strong. Very good simple coffee one of my favorites for sure. Came in on a hot day & the cool atmosphere felt great to sip on an iced latte! Banana bread also a plus“

“great staff and great coffee!“

“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“Great tea and food. Some of the nicest people work there. Great location with plenty of parking“

“The food was perfect and the service was excellent! We don’t live close by. We were just visiting the San Gabriel Mission. However, whenever we go back to the area, we will definitely come back!“

“We came in from out of town and wanted a sweet treat to end the night. We stopped by here and the donuts were so good! The man behind the counter, who I assume was the owner was very nice and let us hang out inside for as long as we wanted. Great donuts, kind service, and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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“

“This review has been a long time coming as I've come back multiple times... I love this bakery! The staff here is always welcoming, helpful and gives me the best suggestions when it comes to their seasonal or for a drink I haven't tried. They always have a great vibe going on in here.

Personally their lattes are great and their pastries are so yummy. You can just tell that the bakers put their best work into it. I'm always a sucker for the choco cookie.

Super bummed I couldn't make it for their mango mochi release but it looked so good! Kudos and props to the Re Bakesic team for always caring and acting in the interest of their customers.“

“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.“

“Awesome customer service and very friendly. Not to mention our drinks were delicious 😋“

“Charming neighborhood gem. The mix of classic donuts styles and flavors on offer are all worth trying. Soft and airy dough, baked to perfection. You get the expertise of the in house baker who has been running this shop for decades. Family run. Always a pleasure to visit.“

“Friendly Barista Nice outdoor patio“

“This is the first time going there. Tommy took care of us really well explain to us how to use the computer and the different teas that we can get. If you go there and you’re not sure what to get talk to my boy Tommy customer service excellent.“

“Unfortunately I didn’t get their names but both workers were very pleasant and the drinks came out awesome. They were friendly and presented a great vibe as soon as I approached the counter. This was Tuesday morning, April 8. I have a Starbucks closer to my place but will definitely go back to this one for the reasons mentioned.“

“We went here last Sunday and saw that they had combos. Where when you buy a bowl, you get a free drink. It was a good deal. So we bought one noodles and one pork chop bowl. The Pork Chop Bowl rocks, they cut the bones out. But the noodles were cold, I did not like it at all. thats why its a 4 star not 5 stars.“

“great staff and great coffee!“

“It is now open! Happy to have them back!“
