15 Best Coffee Shops in Monterey Park

“Excellent Americano and a very nice spacious place. Love the ambience of this coffee shop, and love that they have a Slayer espresso machine, too!

You can tell it's different Americano because of the more modern, foward-tasting notes that's more typical of Slayer. Slightly more woodsy, and layered than your heavier, rounded espresso drinks from a La Marzocco.

The ham and cheese croissant is light, crispy, and very delicious. It's a great case of less is more when you don't need a heavy sandwich but expect delicious clean flavor.

I ended up buying their Espresso Blend, and I can't wait to try it on my Profitec Go espresso machine at home.“

“The drinks are a little on the sweet side, but from what I've had so far, you can tell they really use tea. Also their matcha is superb, both their lattes and the hojicha drinks. The tapioca pearls are also just right in chewiness. The fruit teas are ok; I taste the tea base but the fruit can sometimes taste pretty artificial. Overall, very solid drinks and I go back when I'm in the area. I always recommend The Tea to friends.“

“Came here after dim sum because was craving a matcha. They had so many different flavors to choose from! I ended up going with the mazapan banana matcha which was yummy but maybe a little too sweet for me! So if you don’t like sweet, order it with less sugar. I also think the mazapan was too overwhelming of a flavor and I didn’t taste the banana very much.“

“R & B Boba Tea offers a delightful experience for bubble tea lovers. Their extensive menu features a variety of flavors, from classic milk teas to unique fruit blends, ensuring there's something for everyone. The boba is perfectly chewy, and the drinks are always refreshingly cold. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a tasty boba treat! Rodrigo Suerte Realtor I ICON Agent“

“This place got some new drinks. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their new choco strawberry frosty and strawberry Hokkaido milk tea to try. The frosty had an icy, rich, deeply chocolatey base with a creamy, tangy, cheesey strawberry foam. Legit a desert drink. My fave was definitely the strawberry Hokkaido milk tea tho. Very floral, milky, and sweet, with plenty of jiggly strawberry jellies. Overall these were lowkey pretty good.

$7.25 frosty
$6.50 milk tea“

“A wonderful family owned and friendly donut shop but with a little more than just donuts.

I love stopping by to get some fresh squeezed juices, donut and a breakfast sandwich, that is my usual.

Always greeted with a hello friend or good morning, if alone always asks how my wife is.

Food is always fresh and the donuts are not overly sweet but just sweet enough.
Always accommodating, one day wanted a maple bar which were all sold out, only to have a couple made fresh. Not many places go that above and beyond for their customers. Most places would just say, sorry, we’re sold out!

Came for lunch one day, had the teriyaki chicken bowl, very tasty and just the right size, but I could not finish all of it.

Like I stated before, a wonderful and great family owned shop nestled in their little corner.
We need more family owned shops like this.“

“I’ve been coming here for whenever I want a quick, good Vietnamese sandwich. And they never disappoint.
I definitely recommend their meatball subs and their Saigon sandwich. Their croissant is big, fluffy and warm. Super yummy! Just anything in their menu, thank you very much super yummy.“

“The cream puff I tried was the Creme Brulee one and it tasted so freaking good omg it was my first time trying it I was so scared it would taste soo sweet but it wasn’t and omg it tasted soooooo good omgomg 100% recommend. Got my order really fast“

“Consistently excellent! The drinks are always made just right, and the baristas are friendly and efficient, even during rush hours. The place is clean, cozy, and perfect for getting some work done or catching up with friends. Easily my favorite go-to coffee spot!“

“Yes I Do Recommend It 👍👍👍“

“I tried Einstein Bros for the first time and it’s become my absolute favorite 🤩
I love the avocado, egg and tomato or the bacon avocado. It’s delicious. The hash browns are good too. But alittle small. Coffee could be a bit warmer. But overall I love this place and I think it’s been a great addition to Monterey park. Wish they’d open in the evenings. 😇“

“Just discovered this place in Monterey Park.
Really clean and minimalist interior.
They were playing great music at just the right volume, not so loud that you can't have a conversation.
(Jazz, Amy Winehouse, etc.) There were a few people there studying.
A great selection of specialty coffee drinks, also offers oat and almond milk as alternatives. They had a fantastic variety of pastries (some Asian inspired) and breakfast items.
I couldn't resist their Black Sesame/Mochi cookie and Hojicha cheesecake.
The staff is down to earth and approachable.
Can't wait to try them again!“

“This is my new favorite hang out spot for popcorn chicken. The prices are very very good and drinks are decent though. The drinks are very sweet so make sure to adjust the sugar levels. Everybody and their mamas out here so it does get very busy so be patient. They only have 2 workers.“

“Went yesterday (weekend) the wait was fine. Placed an order on the machine and got the order in 5-10 minutes. The original milk tea is divine. Maybe they were unprepared when they first opened looking at other reviews but it’s fine now in my opinion.“
