“Old town Monrovia is cute and has great vibes. This cafe is just off the beaten path and is definitely a great spot to have breakfast.The granola pancakes are lovely with great flavors. I wish they had had more real maple syrup, but they were running out apparently. The bacon was cooked to perfection!All in all it was good food for a reasonable price, with great serving staff.Parking: Some street parking, but just down the street there is a lot with more parking.“
“This place is so cozy, so charming, so friendly! I’ve been here several times over the past 2 years, but my last visit reinforced that this is going to be one of the places I will frequent from now on. In fact, I’m going this week 3 times! The food is really good as well, and excellent for those of us who are always torn between two decisions… They have an option where you can get half of two options! I love this neighborhood too, and I always drive up the road for the little free library afterwards.Parking: Packed“
“First time customers, best food ever! Don’t let the portions fool you!! It’s A LOT. Coffee was fresh, and food was tasty. Had the pineapple pancakes and my fiance had the stuffed French toast. 10/10 would come back, especially on a weekday.“
“Went for Sunday Brunch. Tables are well maintained and the hospitality workers are friendly. Great environment and you get a nice chill vibe from the place. Loco Moco plate was savory and tasty. Hamburger patty was well seasoned and the rice was perfectly cooked. Gravy was very yummy and I wished I had more. 5/5 plate. Reminds me of Rainbow's Drive Thru in Honolulu Hawaii. Ube Pancakes were fluffy and the ube tasted lite. Coconut complimented the airy texture and flavor you get from the pancake and ube. I wished there was more ube and no coconut. I also wished there was more sugar in that dish. Maybe I just have a sweet tooth? I think if you are an ube fanatic, the. you'd rate it higher than a 3.5/5. Ube coffee. Tasted like 1/2 coffee and 1/2 ube. Delivered what was stated on the name. 3.5/5, maybe 4/5. Get the Loco Moco. I love Loco Mocos. I think you'll love them too. That's worth coming back for more!“
“Great food and great service. Go early if you have a bigger party. We were lucky to sit outside on a nice day, and my husband highly recommends the French toast, and the BLT I got was so yummy. The bacon was so tasty, and the coffee was so good that I had 2 cups. Can't wait to come back here.“

“Crossroads is a nice little cafe with a great variety of sandwiches. My friends and I ordered sandwiches to-go and they were so yummy! I had the spicy chicken sandwich and loved it. It was a good spice level for me but may be a little bit spicy for some. Everyone else really enjoyed their sandwiches as well. Overall, it was a great meal and I will definitely be coming back to try more things in the future.“
“My first time here.. and I loved it...kudos to Scarlett and her mother for being great servers. Coffee was great. Zucchini bread super good ..nice and warm..Owner was very presentable. Food was very good..place was clean. And even the Cook smiled at us ..I'LL BE BACK.“
“Came here for a family lunch and we will definitely be back! Hearty portions. The chapo specials have a few type of meats they kind of compete with each-other and I would skip the chicken in that specific combination. The breakfast burrito was a HIT. Next time I want to try it with hash brown/refried beans. Everything else was good , will be back for sure . Service was good, not a Michelin starJoint but the price is right and it's definitely a neighborhood joint. Worker was like " you've never been here before so they definitely have their clientele" murals on the walls average Mexican spot vibes.“
“Caramelo Café offers a delightful morning escape with excellent customer service. Visited on a Friday morning, the waitress was incredibly attentive, ensuring our experience was top-notch. The ambiance is charming, adding to the overall appeal. The highlight was undoubtedly the food. Opting for the chilaquiles burrito with steak, I was greeted with a burst of delicious flavors, especially with their tantalizing green salsa. However, while the steak had a robust flavor, it was a tad thick and tough to chew, leaving me contemplating a different protein choice for my next visit--perhaps bacon? Despite this minor setback, Caramelo Café left a positive impression. With its inviting atmosphere and flavorsome dishes, it's a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a delightful breakfast experience.“
“Excellent eatery! Very kind waitress, good alternative music. Came in with a group of 8 and had a really good experience. We ate outside and it was a little chilly but they have outdoor heaters ☺️. Really good portions, exceptional quality! Highly recommend ?“
“Lovely outdoor space to have breakfast or lunch, but the service was lacking & everyone was a little awkward to interact with. The food was solid, I enjoyed my corned beef hash breakfast, my husband enjoyed his BLT and my Grandma enjoyed her grilled cheese. Both of them had wanted soup & sandwich combo, but they only had one soup option of chicken sausage gumbo “I think” the waitress shared.“
“Our breakfast at IHOP was great! The pancakes were fluffy, light, and extremely tasty. Our eggs were cooked to perfection as was our bacon and sausage. Our waitress, Nicole, provided exceptional service, refilling our drinks and asking how we were. Definitely will return.“
“Got the #7 grilled beef. Pretty good. Had a Vietnamese coffee, I was happy that it didn’t leave me cracked out.The environment is a bunch old timer Vietnamese gentleman here drinking their coffee and chatting with their homies.Everyone is nice.My favorite is the French baguette. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.“
“A mom and pops diner with great service and interestingly tasty food. Craving for a different breakfast experience and spotted this place and thought to try. The place is dated but clean with ample parking space. There was a sign on what seemed to be a door but wasn't sure it was pointing to where the entrance is when it meant that door was the actual entrance to the restaurant. Went on a Sunday morning, wasn't too busy. Got seated right away. The server was very attentive to our needs. Service is fast as well. Tried their chicken burrito which was surprisingly very delicious! Portion size is moderate, has the right amount of meat and eggs. It comes with an option to either their red or green sauce which had the right hint of spiciness to it. Price is very affordable and overall, not too shabby.“
“Place is great. Staff is friendly. I believe it's Korean owned due to some items you won't see at other Tom's. Cheeseburger combo was so good. Fries well seasoned and fresh off the fryer.Tried their bulgogi kimbap. It was good.Parking is decent.They do phone orders.Definitely will come back again“
“Ordered the Colorado Omelette through Uber Eats. (Very quick delivery!!) The meat inside had good flavor but the egg whites were not seasoned. VERY watery though, and it was NOT condensation, 2 tablespoons of liquid. Had this come to me like that dining in, I would've sent it back. Buttermilk pancakes were yummy. They only sent 3 out of the four in the Syrup Caddy.“
“This is one of the closer places I could find 肉夹馍 rou jia mo (Chinese hamburger), so I stopped by and have a try. We just came back from a trip to Xi ‘A which is the birthplace of this food. The taste was ok. They added some chopped green pepper which I don’t think the authentic version has it. The bun is also a bit more burnt compared to the authentic version. Overall not too bad but just don’t expect it’s the original version!“
“My family and I loved this place. It's been a long time since we have tasted authentic not bloating after feeling food. The servers were great, food came out on a timely matter. The place takes you back in time enjoying the company you have away from electronics. I highly recommend this breakfast place.“
