50 Best Cafes near Monrovia

“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.“

“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.“

“I work at a nearby business and stopped by San Fernando Coffee Co. to pick up breakfast and coffee for our team. Emely welcomed me as soon as I walked in, and Karen and Diana were also so kind and helpful. Everyone provided excellent customer service, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“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!“

“Nice cafe, Portions are huge, Great service“

“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! ❤️“

“The food & service is always on point“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“This is a small, cozy cafe with only about 6–7 tables, so seating is limited, but there’s plenty of parking in the parking lot, which is always a big plus. Ordering is done through a kiosk, making the process quick and easy. Our food also came out pretty fast.

I ordered:

- Pork Loin Cutlet Curry Udon
- Japanese Omelette Sandwich
- Orange Americano Tonic

The Pork Loin Cutlet Curry Udon was my favorite. The pork cutlet was moist and tender, and the Japanese-style curry was flavorful and comforting. The udon had a really nice texture and was cooked perfectly. Definitely a satisfying combination!

The Japanese Omelette Sandwich was HUGE! I wasn’t expecting it to be that big, and it was definitely enough for a hearty meal or to share.

They also have a great variety of drinks, and you can customize the ice and sweetness level. I tried the Orange Americano Tonic, which was refreshing with a nice citrusy flavor and paired well with the curry.

Overall, I had a great first experience here. The food came out quickly, the portions were generous, price was decent, parking was easy, and everything I tried was enjoyable.

I’ll definitely be back when I’m craving pork cutlet and Japanese curry!“

“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“

“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.“

“My son wanted Onigiri, we were shocked. Driven past here probably over 1000 times. Got the onigiri, the grilled cheese and the best chicken sando I have ever had. Picked up a coconut matcha drink. I don’t even like matcha, it was so good!!! Going back soon.“

“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!“

“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“

“Best coffee“

“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.“

“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�“

“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.“

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

“100/10!!! I had been meaning to come here every time I’m in Pasadena and I finally did. Service was great and friendly. All three of us got their special of the day. A lady who worked there came out and showed us and we knew we had to get it. It was sooooo delicious and filling. The vibes were great and the outdoor seating didn’t fail us. Overall, such a great experience and I will be back!“

“Classic diner comfort food! Kids menu 😋“

“My friend recommend this place and I gotta say, it was one of the best drink places I’ve been so far. It has great boba tea and has awesome customer service. It’s great on a hot day with the mild air conditioning and cold drinks. Would 100% recommend this place.“

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

“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“

“lo recomiendo al %100. its amazing place“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My wife and I stopped by Cafe Valer on a Sunday morning and were thoroughly impressed. The menu is extensive, the service is fast and friendly, and the entire space—inside and out—is spotless and well-kept.

We grabbed a table on the patio under the umbrellas. Portions are generous and the food is outstanding. My wife ordered the Chipotle Breakfast Avocado Panini with a Raw Sugar Caramel Shaken Iced Oat Milk Latte, and I had the Steak & Egg Burrito with a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Everything was packed with flavor. We were too full to try dessert, but that just gives us an excuse to return :D

This is easily my new go-to lunch spot whenever I'm in the West Covina area. Highly recommended, 5 stars!“

“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.“

“Chili dog is yummyyyyyyyy“

“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.“

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

“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!!!!😍🍓🧇“
