50 Best Cafes near Monrovia

“Love the ambiance. Great food. Great service and excellent drinks are served at the bar. Great for an intimate dinner or for a special occasion.“

“wow first time here food was excellent. very nice customer service 👍💯.can't wait to come back 😀“

“The place had delicious food. This place had many people coming in and was crowded during brunch time. I can see why so many people come here. The drinks and food are excellent but the seating was a bit of a challenge since it was quite noisy.“

“I actually ordered their chicken and waffle for breakfast and not thinking this can be that great (because I didn't choose this place but my mom did 😬). However, to my surprise, the Belgium waffle was huge and has a very good texture with a special dough. And Man, that chicken thigh is something else! I love that chicken was marinated first, then fired (or baked) so it's juicy and not dry at all! Not to even mention the Hispanic servers there can speak Chinese so that's why they can draw my mom back (and now me)! 🤣 👏 Bravo Nano Cafe 👏“

“Desde san francisco vine a probar este restaurant y lo recomiendo 100% toda mi familia de 9 personas se fueron enamoradas de Jesús fue el mesero un gran mesero. Muy buena calidad todo bien calientito, Erick fue el host muy amable parece el dueño se asegura que todo esté en orden nombre me fue enamora gracias @cafe de olla mil gracias“

“Food's always worth the stop“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“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 🙏“

“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! ❤️“

“Yi’s Cafe is hands down the most competitive for the value you’re getting. The coffee is great, and their sandwiches are honestly the best value for your buck — better quality than anywhere else nearby at a price that’s hard to beat. Every time I order, the owner throws in a free muffin or two, no charge. Small touch, big difference. Highly recommend.

Don’t sleep on their sandwiches!“

“congratulation J&A's 25th anniversary! great food 🎉👍“

“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.“

“I enjoyed the good quality, quick service, and ample seating area. Was a good place to work and my drink was refreshing. Bubble waffle with ice cream was a super treat. I’ll be seeing a lot more of hop cafe in Arcadia.“

“Want to acknowledge Vanessa your supervisor for such exceptional customer service really appreciate her food delicious“

“very delicious food is always fresh the food is very good from sandwiches to bagels waffles smoothies cant forget the owners are very nice and polite always have the place clean“

“Nice cafe, Portions are huge, Great service“

“Really enjoyed our lunch! The curry was satisfying and the katsu was crunchy and pork was juicy 😋

It feels like a delicious hole on the wall! The only thing is that the restaurant name is very hard to type into the maps or tag on social 😅 (the degree symbol)“

“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!“

“Republik Coffee is as solid as it gets. It has good food, good coffee, and a good ambiance, which makes it a great hang out spot.The breakfast burrito, an almond danish, and a hazelnut cappuccino. It's not a large breakfast burrito, but I felt like all off the ingredients were good quality. The danish was good,and the cappuccino was solid as well.“

“Great food! Food prepped like you want and/or as on menu. The menudo was yummy and portions were plenty. The potatoes and beans with Mexican cheese were delicious.

Everyone who ate stated to me their plate was very good. I highly recommend this place and it's one of those places I would come back....“

“Luis (the owner) was so hospitable when I walked in. The place is decked out and so inviting, and the food is prepped clean and fresh. I got the steak and eggs plate (can’t remember the menu name off hand) and lime slushy, it was delicious! Will stop by again“

“Absolutely love the coffee here i wish these guys would take place of all the tarbucks locations unlike tarbucks Klatch can make a great cup of joe while working the fire cleanup, we would frequent this location often definitely worth the drive even this past week i completely missed my exit off the 210 had to double back. For the great smile as I walk through the door amazing energy from the staff and leaving with a ham & cheese sandwich and a large iced not so average joe.
Thank you Klatch crew.“

“Excellent service, sweet ladies, great prices & a humble atmosphere�“

“Excellent food at a reasonable price. We are in Pasadena for a wedding and just had breakfast at the Cordova Cafe my wife absolutely loved the lox and bagel. And I had the Cordova breakfast burrito it was excellent. 10/10“

“Simple and delicious food, with a wide range of coffee and a variety of food to try, perfect for coming here with friends!“

“I came from out of town and happened to stay at a nearby hotel—so glad I found this place! The food was so good that I ended up coming back three times during my stay. Everything I tried was delicious, and the experience was consistently great each visit. Definitely a spot I’d return to!“

“The service was excellent, staff was very friendly and welcoming. The ice cream was phenomenal. Definitely recommend trying this place. Reward program or repeat customers. We tried Matcha swirl and were beyond pleased. I tried Matcha ice cream inside Haven city from a different location and was so dissatisfied. I threw it away and tried this place and loved it. Very reasonably priced and a lot of unique options to try. This place is great…. Had to come back again lol“

“I saw that the Brazilian Lemonade was back on the menu so I decided to stop in for a taste. I placed an online order and it was made just as I ordered right on time. I always order online so I never really get to experience their atmosphere, so I can't really comment. But their service is pretty good.“

“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 haven’t been here for a while and had a craving for the Chilaquiles. I knew they added a new Mole salsa so I called to order that to go. I was told they also have a chipotle sauce, so I went with that instead. When I got home, OH MY GOSH!! Those were the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had with the Chipotle sauce. They were so good I’m embarrassed to say I lick the plate clean🥴. And of course the churros were amazing as usual.“

“This place has it all for your hunger needs. From breakfast to lunch and light dinner options. They even have pizza!! Not to mention a bakery on the side for that sweet tooth after meal craving. The food so far is great. I've had their wraps, bagel sandwiches, paninis, and burritos. Looking forward to try some of their salads, acai bowls and food bowls along with their smoothies they have to offer. For all you coffee enthusiasts, they got some amazing frappes, ice coffees, and lattes. Mornings seem to be their side of the day.“

“Cute lounge spot. Would be nice to come with a friend and play some games while we catch up over boba. Didnt try the food so not sure how it is but the cookies are huge! They have smoothie bowls and treats to grab on the go. Tried the caramel toffee milk tea, I haven't tried it yet, and I must say I do like it. I love a caramel, and there's just enough in here without it being too sweet. It's mixed well.“

“Great tea selection and very knowledgeable owners who give great recommendations, for true tea lovers, overall a lovely place, will be coming back!“

“Chili dog is yummyyyyyyyy“

“This place is amazing! Great sandwiches, great service, and going on the weekend to get their cinnamon rolls is a must. Only thing to note, they close at 3pm NOT 4pm like it says on Google Maps. If you show up and it’s closed, be sure to check out all the other great things Sierra Madre has to offer!“

“Beautiful inside, extra special food flavors (I LOVE the Lemon Mascarpone Pancakes!!) and of course, the main attraction, Dots has the most delicious cupcakes anywhere!! Pick any flavor at all and it will become your new favorite!! Please go so that Dots Cafe & Dessert Bar can stay in business forever for me to enjoy!! 😁💕💕“

“Good old fashion breakfast place. Menu is big. We haven't been here for awhile. Prices do go up, but it is what it is. Prices are high everywhere. Portions are large, so it's all worth it. Their pancakes are some of the best you can find. Although I wish they'd serve the larger sausages than the regular sausage links. Other than that, it's a nice place for breakfast.“

“Wonderful boba tea! Delicious food as well! :)“

“Happily stumbled across this cozy boba shop on accident. The staff will treat you very friendly and you’ll receive a high quality drink. I’m just not sure if it’s always that cold in there or what the purpose of that would be, but it was definitely noticeable during my brief visit“

“best chow mein ive ever have and good service 👍 10/10“

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋“

“X Tea Cafe is definitely my favorite tea shop lately! The brown sugar boba milk tea is rich in tea flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba is perfectly chewy and soft — absolutely delicious. The shop is clean and bright with a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and chat with friends. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high-quality tea drinks!“

“This might have been the best coffee I've had in years and I like a good cup of coffee if you've read any of my other reviews i get very irritated at places that charge a lot of money for bad coffee and this place made the best half calf iced latte that I have ever had plus they bring in French pastry that is really excellent so I thought it was perfect and it's extraordinarily simple bear walls bear concrete floor chairs and tables I mean it is a perfect coffee shop nice music playing the vibe it was retro and I loved it“

“Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Come here immediately and feel the love!“

“I love this place! Wish I lived closer! The house coffee is amazing and definitely fills my caffeine needs. The little cookies are also so good. Always soft and fresh. The first time I came and didn't know what to get, the staff was so kind and helpful and even offered me samples. I have been by to study and drink coffee a few times. I recommend this place often“

“Despite the restaurant being busy, I was seated very quickly, which made for a great first impression. The food was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the orange mint hookah. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly, and the overall vibe made for a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back.“

“They have great food large selection their service is great I definitely recommend this place“
