22 Best Coffee Shops in Arcadia

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“Taking us by surprise as the coffee shop seemed to be Indonesian from some posts we saw. Then we spotted they had Gula Aren Latte on the menu, which was basically Indonesian’s term for Brown/Palm Sugar and indeed commonly used sweetener for iced coffee there.

Being around the area, we stopped by to grab a cup. It’s a pretty calm spot to chill and even work as the background noise wasn’t overly loud. We got their signature Gula Aren Latte and Matcha Matcha cloud.

The first iconic drink did live up our expectation with great coffee taste and strong brown sugar flavor. We also loved their house cream top as it just served the right sweetness and thickness.

The Matcha did impress me being bold and umami, and going all out with matcha cream top was certainly great choice.

It was pleasantful premier experience and we’d definitely call out for repeating visits!“

“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!“

“Very cute 😍 and convenient, if you need to go to H mart.“

“Came my first time and it was nice and clean Daniel surprised me with a Ice Tall Lavender Latte and it was delicious ?Angel made my coffee ☕️ and it was perfect ?Definitely recommend this location ♥️??They have tables and chairsAnd plenty of space to work and use their Wi-Fi“

“Love all the coffee options“

“Cleanest donut shop I've been to! Their breakfast sandwiches are good and you get the option of adding different bagel spreads and vegetables which most donut shops don't offer. Their coffee doesn't taste watered down and the donuts are fresh. You might want to call ahead for breakfast sandwiches because they get busy in the morning. They don't sell lottery tickets though. Family who owns the business are very nice and hardworking. Thank you“

“I’ve been coming to Au79 since 2006, back when they had their San Gabriel location. Unfortunately, the San Gabriel location closed during COVID, and now the Arcadia location is the only one still open.

I’ve always loved this place, especially for the popcorn chicken and the drinks. Everything just hits, and it’s been one of my go-to boba spots for years. Au79 is truly one of the OG boba shops in the SGV, and you don’t really see many OG boba shops around anymore. A lot of the older boba shops have closed over the years, so it’s nice to see Au79 still going.

It definitely has a lot of memories for me, and I hope they continue to stick around for many more years!“

“Happened to accidentally come in during a vtuber event so the place was packed. Despite how busy it was, the maid rushed to the front door to greet us as soon as she saw us. She was very friendly and it almost felt like meeting a friend during their work shift.
We got drinks to go because of how busy it was but we will definitely come back during the week to actually try the food!“

“His doughnuts are the 'Best!" Get their early B4 they are ALL GONE!!! My favorite is Jonathan's Grandma's apple fritter! 'BEST DONUTS EVER!" DELICIOUSLY FRESH,TASTY TIME!¡ 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩“

“I love this location, the one in Arcadia. Superbly welcoming baristas plus management, and I greatly appreciate the time, care and attention that goes into making my coffee drinks each morning by the staff. Thank you so much! :)“

“This Starbucks is located inside Ralph’s. It was almost closing time. Literally 6:57pm and the young man at the counter was so willing to serve us. I know some place would not even entertain that since it’s 3 minutes to closing. For that I give him kudos.

We didn’t get food as we only wanted coffee. But he made two great drinks. Special orders of shaken espressos.

This Starbucks is not a full sized store. Of course because it’s not a stand alone but it’s nice and clean. They also have a wide variety of Starbucks items. If you’re a tumbler collector they have a few different once I have seen and of course I failed to take pictures.

Anyway, big shout out to the young man who closed the store yesterday. Please continue to be a great barista!“

“They make the best tea ever! Easy parking and friendly staff!“

“Always so packed so I go to the one in Pavilions, which is my favorite of the two. But my younger sister loves this one. If you'd prefer to not be sitting in a grocery store while drinking your coffee, then this one is great! Also, this one has a wider food selection than the one in Pavilions which is a big bonus.“

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back“

“I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little child with my grandparents. The strawberry waffle 🧇 was always my favorite. 😍 My husband and I went yesterday for breakfast and the strawberry 🍓 waffle were just as good as I remembered! A thin waffle covered in strawberries with a ring of whipped and in the center. The waffle absorbs the strawberries for a delicious taste in every bite. They still have the best strawberry waffles!!!!😍🍓🧇“

“Whenever I'm in Arcadia, BenGong is one of my go to spots. Their menu is quite extensive and drinks never disappoint.

Parking is plentiful and free which is a nice plus.
Interior is very cute, good amount of tables as I see plenty of people sit and do work on their laptops here. To the right is a wishing tree that's decorated and perfect for photos. There's also a self ordering kiosk which is great when the shop gets busy.

The menu itself is very extensive and very unique. Ranging from brown sugar specials which is one of their signatures to one of my personal favorites, the sparkling series. They also have Yakult, cheese, and fruit series to order. Staff is friendly and quick as our drinks came out withing 5 minutes.
(Ordered on this specific occasion)

-- Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($6.00) -
Very refreshing drink, peach doesn't overpower the drink as a whole and is just a perfect drink overall. Came in their deco cups which was a plus. Mixed very well with the Oolong Milk Tea, I would recommend this drink for anyone that has trouble deciding what to get. 10/10

-- Strawberry Peach Sparkling Tea ($6.25) --
I was pretty interested in the sparkling series and this one caught my eye the most. It's pretty much as expected, sparkling tea. Similar to a soda feeling, this was a solid refresher on a warm day. Although the taste kind of went away after about an hour, it was still a decent drink to try. Definitely checking the other sparkling drinks out next time I visit. 8/10

One underrated thing about this shop is their different type of cups. Ranging from the standard size cups, to their round cups and their decorated cups. Many drinks come in the smaller round cups so watch out for that if you're expecting a standard cup. Regardless, the cups are well made and super cute and sturdy.

Overall, wonderful shop with cute designs, friendly staff, and high quality drinks. You can't really go wrong with any drink here as they're all super flavorful. Highly recommend giving BenGongs a visit.“

“Ordered a vanilla caramel chunk single scoop with a cone to rest from walking around the mall. The ice cream was thick and creamy, and the flavors were great. The waffle cone was warm which was a nice surprise, and workers were friendly. This spot is a great place for a fast and tasty sweet treat!“

“Muy buenas bebidas y siempre bien amables para pasar un rato relajado“

“One of the absolute best places for boba milk teas and smoothies!! Their menu has a great selectiom you are bound to find at least 1, if not multiple, favourite drinks that'll keep you coming back!! Always a treat coming here and enjoying their refreshing drinks 😃🩷🩷“

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.“

“I went crazy because they have a lot of things here, but they specifically shake something 17 times here’s what you should know… Number one everything is super delicious here so it gets really easy to become addicted to it

I had to do the Matcha latte with pistachio cheese foam. I went less ice and I went crème brûlée on the flavor of the foam and it was delicious. This is way too good. The ordering is simple. It’s a touchscreen process. You’ll be issued a number and you will not regret those drinks!!“
