14 Best Coffee Shops in El Monte

“delicious breakfast at a very good price and a very friendly atmosphere“

“Plenty of places to sit inside. I don’t think I’ve been there and had to wait more than 5 minutes. The ladies are always nice. The French toast and menudo are worth the visit. They have a couple tvs and coffee comes around often enough or you just ask. They have flavored creamer for your coffee which is a plus. This is a regular when I’m in the area.“

“I'm new in the neighborhood, from New York. They make great coffee, doughnuts, drinks and sandwiches. The girl was pleasant and spoke politely. The prices are good and this will now be my go to coffee shop. I highly recommend this coffee spot.“

“Really nice service and very yummy boba! We ordered the strawberry matcha and butterfly coconut and they both were delicious. I needed mine without dairy but forgot to ask, she graciously offered to remake it for me at no extra charge. Thank you!“

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.“

“The sandwich is a amazing , customer service friendly the guy smile all the time , even you don’t talk to him he even smile and make you laugh , I used to get smoothie and sandwich and the donut is my most favorite so fresh and warm everyday love this place . If it have 10 star I would give 10 star reviews“

“I appreciate this place. It’s tricky to drive and park here so keep that in mind. The only way to enter the plaza is going north on Peck Road or east on Ramona. The staff here is overall very professional and wonderful. The quality of their drinks and bakery items is great too. I like their muffins, coffee, espresso and lavender latte. Look forward to trying more items.

Updated: Their strawberry matcha latte and horchata latte are amazing today, paired with their wonderful customer service. I look forward to trying their banana one some time. Their matcha horchata and strawberry mango Fresca are good too.

Note: for hot strawberry matcha latte, your milk options are oat milk or almond milk“

“Incredible food and staff! So happy to have y’all in Corinth! Get the housemade house SO GOOD!“

“Best customer service I can’t get through my day without my morning coffee from my favorite Starbucks in El Monte on Garvey they greet me by name first thing in the morning and always make my coffee just perfect“

“Walk into pho huỳnh I was immediately struck by the inviting atmosphere. The decor blend modern elements with touches of Vietnamese tradition, created a warm, cozy space. Soft lighting, calm music, and hint of aromatic spices in the air, set the perfect tone for an authentic dining experience.“

“Not recommended that you walk to this Starbucks if you're a female!“

“Very unassuming location situated close to the CVS and across the street from the Target.

The donuts here are very soft and have great flavor.

I have been to numerous donut shops in the area going on a bit of a donut binge and I think that this spot is the best I've been to so far in terms of how they make the donuts. Even the next day the donuts I have left over are still soft and fluffy, very easy to bite into unlike other locations I've been to where the donuts become stale and hard. I don't know how they do it but it's great!

They charge $11 for a half dozen and $20 for a dozen.“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“great friendly wonderful staffs and large formal Tea selections...👍“
