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.“

“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.“

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

“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 👏“

“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“

“Today I came in to try hello you’re welcome and I am so happy that I did. I’m glad this coffee shop popped up on my TikTok fyp. The staff is very friendly. The cashier is very welcoming and attentive. She made you feel like you were a close friend, it’s my bday week and she over heard and put a candle on my strawberry donut which I think is very thoughtful of her. The pastries are scrumptious. The ice vanilla latte was very good they garnish it with cinnamon. Not too bitter not to sweet just right. I will definitely come back. I love the 70s wallpaper, retro look inside. The vintage fish ware takes you back.“

“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! ❤️“

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

“I stopped by cause I was in the area and really wanted a Vietnamese coffee! I got the Vietnamese Coffee and Breakfast sandwich along with a free pastry because I spent over $10 (tip included). In this economy all the items here are reasonably priced and taste good! The cafe is clean and the staff is nice as well.“

“Nice cafe, Portions are huge, Great service“

“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“

“The atmosphere is very nice, the inside is a bit cramped though. I ordered the matcha latte and it was good, but honestly wasn't anything too special and it was a little overpriced imo, I've had better. Extra point for the vibes tho“

“Best japanese cafe serving udon, cutlet, sandwiches, drinks, croffle and desserts. Udon has different sauces like curry, soy. Cutlets are available in fish, chicken and pork. Beef sukiyaki are available. Drinks are amazing in really good looking cups.“

“Loved going to this place as a first timer. Was a little scared coming in by myself as this was a new experience for me and the cafe was all alone with no customers. But thankfully the maid on duty made me feel very welcome. She was really friendly and sweet. I asked her questions about certain food items and she answered back in a friendly way. They had some cute kpop and jpop music playing in the background that helped me relax and unwind for the day.

The food was amazing and flavorful. I ordered the katsu chicken curry and the tiger milky tea and both were delicious! The katsu chicken had some crunch to it and was served hot and fresh. The curry reminds me of my favorite gravy sauce used for mashed potatoes on thanksgiving and it was really good! The tiger milky tea was ice cold, sweet, and savory just how I like it.

Overall the environment, food, and hospitality was awesome! I loved this new experience and will definitely be coming back to try some fresh foods and desert items from this little cafe :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I stumbled upon this place while driving from LA to Las Vegas and searching for breakfast. We came all the way from Maryland for my birthday weekend, and this has been the best food we’ve had so far on our trip. Everything was amazing—from the coffee to the buttered bread served at the table. You can really see and taste the homemade care put into every dish.

I had the home fries, and you could tell they were hand-cut from thinly sliced potatoes. My friend ordered the veggie omelet—my God, it was so good. I had the pork chops with home fries and eggs, and wow… if only you could taste this plate. Don’t skip the homemade salsa they bring to the table—absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this place. 10s across the board.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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.“

“We had a wonderful cozy experience headlined with a delicious Turkey Cranberry Sandwich. My partner had a Chicken pesto which was scrumptious. The new owners are very courteous and took extra time to ensure we had everything we needed, even giving us a complimentary Cinnamon roll. The environment and location is as sweet of a neighborhood experience you can find in the LA area.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“A cozy artfully Japanese anime curated coffee shop with instrumental music playing lighly in the background. This place has ample seating and is a great place to lounge around and enjoy your coffee with a small meal.

The staff is friendly, fast and attentive with their service.

I ordered the Lotus Latte hot and it has a beautiful presentation and tasted rich, creamy, and not too sweet.“

“Chili dog is yummyyyyyyyy“

“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!! 😁💕💕“

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

“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!“

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

“What a wonderful little diner to come across. The food was wonderful, the staff super friendly, the portions generous and the price was very reasonable. Met a gentleman in the table next to me who said he has been coming here since he was a little boy and it's always been this way.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“POV: your “just a quick coffee run” turned into a full-on Japanese cafe feast☁️🍓

Fresh-made viral Strawberry Fruit Sandwich, the creamiest Egg Heaven sando, spam-packed Musubiyaki, and drinks that absolutely carried the experience😮‍💨

The Sumiyaki Japanese Hokkaido Americano with sea salt was smooth, bold, and lowkey addictive, while the Coconut Matcha Cloud + Banana Matcha were almost too pretty to drink🍵✨

And the Mango Misu with real mango + mango mascarpone? Immediately ordering again. The Salted Oreo dessert also sealed the deal🍰“

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

“Classic diner comfort food! Kids menu 😋“

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

“I love coming here and it's very close to my house, reminds me of my grandma baking growing up. They make great tamales as well with lots of meat, very delicious. Their sweet bread are great a big variety to choose from. They open at 5am you won't be sorry if you stopped by and bought some thing to have with your coffee in the morning.“

“The food & service is always on point“

“lo recomiendo al %100. its amazing place“

“This 7 Leaves location is my favorite since it has a drive thru. However, it’s a bit small and sometimes the line could go out to the street depending on when you use it. I went around 5:30 pm on a weekday and that was the case. After waiting about 10 minutes, I was able to order and it was ready within a few minutes.

There was a seasonal drink, so I thought I gave it a try. I tried the Rio Rosa, which was strawberry with condensed milk. I got this with honey boba as well. It tasted refreshing since it was hot that day. But overall, I thought it was just okay. I wouldn’t get that specific drink again.

This location does accept American Express.“

“Great service. Delicious Coffees!!“
