8 Best Coffee Shops in Monrovia

“Dulce Cielo in Monrovia is something special. This is my wife’s absolute favorite chai...and trust me, that means something. She drinks only chai and has sampled pretty much every chai in Monrovia and beyond. This is 'the one'

I walk a mile round trip every single day just to get it for her. That alone should tell you a lot.

So what makes Dulce Cielo different? Everything. Their chai isn’t some powdered mix scooped from a container and drowned in hot milk. It’s completely handmade by the owners themselves. This is a carefully tested work of art. The flavors are deliberate, balanced, and thoughtful. You can taste the care, time, and intention in every sip.

Beyond the chai, the creativity here is incredible. I’ve tried several of their other drinks and every one has been amazing...especially the horchata and coffee blend, which is next-level good. A friend of ours once mentioned a specific chocolate she loved, and the owners literally went out and sourced it just for her. That’s the kind of place this is.

And don’t even get me started on the cupcakes and pastries. Inventive, beautiful, and mind-blowingly creative. Nothing feels mass-produced. Everything feels loved.

Dulce Cielo isn’t just a coffee or tea spot...it’s a place where craft, creativity, and genuine care for customers come together. Once you go, you get it.“

“This was a cool one of a kind Starbucks. At least the first one I've seen like it. Not your typical walk in and order or go through the drive thru, it was more of like a small stand that you can drive by, or you could walk up to, but they had outdoor seating. It seemed like it'd be a great place to hang out. Unfortunately we couldn't stay, because we had a busy work schedule while we're were there. But maybe in the future, if I find myself in the area, I will definitely go back and "take a load off fanny" and hang out.“

“I walked in this morning at this location. After leaving another location who made my drink completely wrong.So I came to this location hoping they could remake it without charging me.And the manager on duty, i'm not sure what his name was.But sarah was a cashier.They were very helpful and they made me my drink for free. And they got it correct. Thank you so muchI now did not have to drive to the first location.Hook on my drink wrong in the first 💓“

“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.“

“First time stoped by after getting my hair done. Beautiful inside and great customer service. Ordered there new drink a watermelon lemonade with lychee so refreshing.“

“This is a very busy location, but the employees work hard to keep things moving fast. Inside, if you're lucky to get a table, you can have fun people watching the cars lined up in the drive through. Always 10 to 16 vehicles at any time! Meanwhile, the employees smile, make eye contact, say hello as you walk in, say thank you when you pick up! Awesome location!“
