Must Have Coffee 📍141 N Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park, CA 91754
Walking into this cafe felt like walking home. The setup was like a cozy living room filled with a bunch of Christmas decorations, and it was honestly so so cute!! 🎄🎅
The drinks were delicious and not that sweet which are obviously the best compliment you could ask for (duh😝!!)
The matcha was smooth and didn’t have a bitter aftertaste. I personally really liked the cheese coffee because the cheese reminded me of the type of cheese I used to eat when I was younger, although it is an acquired taste.
Def need to try when in the sgv! ⋆˙⟡♡

Employee walked up to the register, greeted me, and then when I asked if there was a menu (I didn't see one posted anywhere) she refused to take my order and directed me instead to wait in line to use the kiosk before walking away. I waited briefly, and then left without ordering.

Great matcha, food, vibes, and people. I got the strawberry yakult matcha ($7.50), banana mazapan matcha ($7.50), strawberry banana croffle ($6.95), and banana Nutella muffin ($5.15). The matchas were smooth, earthy, not too sweet, and delicious. Strawberry matcha is just a good combo period. And the banana mazapan one had a light banana flavor with nutty mazapan pieces. The strawberry banana croffle was crisp and buttery, with a generous layer of light creamy cream, fresh fruit, and Nutella. The banana Nutella muffin was moist, soft, delicate, fluffy, and delicious. My go to order/pairing here will not be the bananan Nutella muffin and a strawberry yakult matcha. This place rules.

Forget the big chains! A fantastic boutique Vietnamese coffee shop has opened up here, offering the unique, delicious specialty drinks previously only found near Little Saigon. The friendly, helpful staff make the experience even better—definitely worth a visit!

First time coming here, atmosphere was laid back plant themed, I came around spooky season so it was perfect vibes 👻🎃 they let me know first if I had any questions, most of their stuff is iced, always ice please! Great place to study, hangout, but the drink had me in love with this place I ordered the seasonal Mazapan Banana Matcha 🍌 🍵 out of this world!!! Highly recommend this place if you're around, love coffee but I was feeling matcha this time, would come back 😋

Another coffee gem and not for the faint of heart when it comes to caffeine, as this is a Vietnamese Coffee Cafe! As you all know, Vietnamese coffee is the super caffeine drink which has kept people up for days....well, more like hours past their allotted sleep time. This cute coffee shop has some tasty and delicious blends of drinks. The two baristas, Gabriel and Bang, were not only friendly, but incredibly nice and helpful. Bang even let us sample some of the black sesame cream he was whipping up. Gabriel answered all of our questions and even suggested a unique strawberry matcha yakult latte, which I ordered. I asked for the least level of sweetness and it was perfect. I love that we were asked if we wanted milk alternatives with our drink as we were placing our order. They even print out a label for your cup so you know exactly what you ordered. My friend ordered the Black Sesame Cream Latte which was decadent and a real treat for the taste buds. This is definitely a place to try, especially if you need a caffeine kick or a nice place to sit and drink a special treat--alone or with friends. Check it out and support this local business.
Scam level prices. I drank the avocado frap and i want to throw it out before finishing half. Its like 8.50. Also you can’t be a non-cash transaction only place AND dishonestly add 3% to all credit card transactions. Disgusting shop with gross behavior never coming back.

This cafe used to be Macchiato (RIP) and now there's a new cafe that specializes in matcha. I wanted coffee so I tried 2 of their Vietnamese coffees, Loyalty and Nguyen. I got less sweet for both but they still ended up a little too sweet for my liking. The biscoff croffle was delicious, warm and chewy with crisp on the outside. Will try their matchas next time!

I come here on a near daily basis for a match latte (its my little sweet treat on the way to work) and I always leave satisfied. The atmosphere is lovely and the baristas are welcoming. Alejandra, in particular, always goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable with some polite conversation and multitasking the entire time. I've worked in hospitality nearly my entire life and my favorite employees are always the ones that can work and hold a conversation at the same time. She demonstrates a strong work ethic, leadership qualities, and I can tell she's a solution-oriented individual. To digress, however, this cafe has easily become part of my daily routine and I am absolutely enamored by it. Grab yourself a match latte and dont forget to tip your barista! An extra dollar is a small price to express a little gratitude.
Many blessings,
thank you!! 💛

Coffee is great, not too sweet and not too bitter either. Just right. The combo with black sesame Creme is so good! Will definitely come back for the other stuff. 💓
Love the iced Americano
