50 Best Cafes near Norwalk

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

“Their really nice & friendly“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“I came by on a hot day, and I was thirsty. The nice reviews from Yelp caught my eyes. I love the minimalist decoration in this coffee place. They are pet friendly as I saw pet owners bring their dogs in. I asked the barista for recommendation. The barista was very patient and knowledgeable about their coffee. She recommended the big island latte and collagen crush. The big island latter has macadamia nuts flavor to it. It reminds me about Hawaii. The name is the perfect match of this coffee. The collagen crush is a health choice. They also offered a big package for purchase that we can brew it ourselves at home.

Came by again in 2 weeks, and the coffee came o it as good as the first time! Great quality control! Will continue to stop by if I am in the area.“

“Great breakfast choices, all home cooked. Quality food with Quality service. 5 min from Disneyland. Very affordable. Carl from Colorado“

“I have been trying to get in severally times but fail due to overcrowded not taking reservations. Other than that, good restaurant for breakfast n lunch, closed at 2pm“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“es el mejor lugar los mejores cafes y postres ynoseles olvide llevar su rikisimo pastel selos recomiendo. está rikisimo todo“

“Very delicious and very pleasing presentation to the eye! Definitely would recommend, the wait was a little long but it’s very understandable!! Very satisfied with our choice of coming here for breakfast, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff! Eleno has been working to support the local community for five years now. Stop by and see for yourself.“

“Great food, fabulous service and a great central location make this the perfect downtown location for healthy food in Long Beach!“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

“I’ve been to this location several times, and they consistently deliver. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting and with the newly remodeled bar, it’s the perfect spot to hang out and sip on something good.

Their breakfast selection is solid. I always go for the avocado toast, it’s a favorite of mine, especially because they bake their own bread. It’s so fresh and flavorful! This time, I also tried the seasonal banana matcha latte. It was a bit on the sweet side for me, but still enjoyable.

My boyfriend ordered the buttermilk biscuit & egg sandwich and a vanilla latte both were a hit. They also have an impressive coffee selection and several locations to choose from, which is a bonus. The staff is always friendly and efficient, making the experience even better.

We love coming here, but a quick pro tip: try to avoid Sundays if you’re looking for a peaceful coffee moment. They share a door with the church next door, and once that door opens, brace yourself for a flood of people. Still love this place but not when I’m sipping in a sea of chaos. Lol.“

“The banana matcha latte had a rich, deep flavor and wasn’t overly sweet. I really liked that! I also liked that it didn’t have too much ice.
The music and overall vibe were great, but it was a bit too cold inside, even with my jacket on.
Still, I’d love to come back for coffee next time. The staff were kind too. Thank you! :)“

“muy ricos los postres y los desayunos todooooo 😍“

“Yes yes, another Country/Chicken Fried Steak breakfast 😋 this time at the mom & pop shop Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach. They took over a defunct Denny's and are making it their own.

They served some of the darkest orange egg yolks I've yet to see at a diner/cafe. Super dark orange eggs yolks usually signify the hen had a diet rich in carotenoids, which are pigments found in plants like marigolds, alfalfa, and other foraged foods. They were deliciously sticky. And instead of a toast option, they bring you a homemade biscuit, halved, then griddled on the cut side (nice touch) and served with heavily cinnamoned whipped butter.

The stand out for me were the hash browns, nicely crispy yet tender within and I'm fairly certain they were flat topped using clarified butter. They were incredibly delicious just on their own.

Friendly service rounded out a very nice meal. It's barley 10 min from home so I'll definitely be back.“

“10 Stars 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩
Best spot for your favorite brew in LBC.
A hidden gem with a live DJ on Saturday Morning. Oh and the coffee's delicious too
You gotta check this spot out“

“I liked the staff. Very clear communication and recommendations, easy service.

Had a pour over that was expertly made and served at the right temperature. Didn't need to add anything. Black is best.

I went in the afternoon and there was a steady flow of customers, but at the same time it was chill in the back where I had a lunch meeting.

Thumbs up!!“

“First off make sure to park in the public lot to avoid going around in circles.

I found this spot when I was looking for a place to take my sister to eat. When we saw the menu we were excited and it didn’t disappoint.

We decided to do breakfast today and go back for lunch next time.

The place was clean and the customer service was excellent.

Our food was freshly prepared and so delicious.
My waffle was crispy outside and fluffy inside with a buttery flavor. My potatoes were seasoned well with actual seasoning not just salt and oil. The eggs were cooked well too.

I seriously had a great breakfast.

Her avocado toast looked great and she said all the ingredients tasted fresh and ripe without being mushy and the bread had a great texture and wasn’t affected by the moisture of the vegetables.

We 100% are coming back. You should also try it out, totally recommended.“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“I was craving cheesecake so I made my husband get me some from here because the reviews. I wouldn't say it's the best I've had but it's good. Got the strawberry crunch and the banana. The banana was a lil too sweet for me and the cinnamon on it was too much for me. Overall it's good but not the best like ppl say here.“

“I really like it because the food is good and prices reasonable“

“Very delicious and very pleasing presentation to the eye! Definitely would recommend, the wait was a little long but it’s very understandable!! Very satisfied with our choice of coming here for breakfast, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“The breakfast burrito and orange juice hit the spot this morning. The staff is very friendly and hard working. Why wait for those long coffee drive thru lines? You can pick up your coffee here quickly. Support your local small business in La Palma!!!“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

“I recently stumbled upon an adorable little coffee shop, thanks to a quick search on Google. As someone who loves exploring new places, I was immediately drawn to its charm. The shop offered an impressive array of pastries. We decided to try their croissants, which turned out to be light, airy, and perfectly crispy.

The coffee menu, while straightforward, was inviting. However, I noticed that there weren't many options catered specifically for kids. After inquiring, the staff kindly provided us with a variety of alternatives, ensuring everyone could find something enjoyable. One thing we learned was that most sweeteners came with an extra charge.

We faced a minor setback when it took longer than anticipated to receive our drinks. With two orders ahead of us, we found ourselves waiting about 20 minutes. Despite the wait, we would definitely return. The coffee was simply perfect, though next time, we'll be sure to allow ourselves some extra time.“

“Try their Sandwhich. It is sooo delicious. We enjoyed the food. Very clean and it is very cozy. Loved the ambiance. And the owner is very friendly. I will recommend this place to everyone that want to enjoy getting together with close friends. Mom and daughter bonding will be a fun place to go. Hope to go back again soon.“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“While Porto’s is well-known, the Downey location feels a little less crowded than others. The guava cheese pastry is always a winner—flaky, buttery, and sweet. I tried their Cuban sandwich for lunch, and it was huge and satisfying. The lines move quickly thanks to the efficient staff. Definitely worth the drive for affordable, delicious baked goods“

“this little place is a big smack a of bohemian chill factor that emanates from your host, Peter . next , the space, sadly, not enougĥ to contain the magic overflowing out its doors, is a piece of a backstage area with the jibe of all are welcome, from scifi nerds to yuppies on bikes and boomers out for a hike, from runners to walkers, even old folks with a walker, Eco Coffee has the cold drinks to chill ya and hot drinks to warm your core. Good food, fresh made. awsome egg sandwich“

“Delicious!!! Definitely coming back. Great friendly service!…🥰“

“Really great food. The best place to have breakfast, lunch and all around good eats.“

“I love the Bingsoo here, the portion for the price is great. The service is also great! The owner is very attentive.
A regular size is good for two people. There's plenty of tables, although they're shared with the other restaurant in the dining area. It's located inside the grocery store.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“Cute little boba shop! We're tourists from Arizona and we enjoyed it. We got the strawberry mango tea with strawberry popping boba, haus milk tea boba and taiyaki. The taiyaki was absolutely delicious, fresh, hot with the perfect amount of Nutella. Would definitely come back whenever we return to California. 🫶“

“Good People Good Coffee Good Times“

“Hooked on Coffee is a cozy local gem that serves great coffee and a nice selection of bakery items. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s conveniently located right on Main Street — perfect for a quick stop or a relaxing break.

Sadly, the shop recently experienced a break-in, which is disheartening for such a hardworking local business. We really need to support more mom-and-pop coffee shops like this one — so if you’re in the area, drop by, grab a coffee and a pastry, and show them some love.

Overall, Hooked on Coffee offers great coffee, tasty baked goods, and a genuinely positive vibe.“

“Super fun place! It’s fun for everyone. Delicious donuts!“

“Satisfacción 🤤💪🏼 got my dessert fix and cool off happy.“

“I had the matcha cream brûlée with a snoopy design on top. Super cute! Matcha was alright, tasted fine. Wasn’t a big fan of the honey (I think?) on the bottom though. Kinda overpowering, wish it was maybe mixed into the drink or something.. will come back to try other drinks tho.“

“Always a good one. They make you feel at home❤️“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Knottea Cafe on our interview date. As someone who willingly admits that she’s not the biggest fan of boba teas, I fully admit that I sometimes forget that boba shops do in fact carry other types of drinks. Knottea Cafe in Stanton, CA is exactly one of those shops that makes sure to have a decent variety of beverages to meet any visitor’s needs. They have everything from milk teas to smoothies to a build your own favor option, and of course, they have some wonderful coffee options for the bean lovers out there. A mere ten minutes away from Knott’s Berry Farm and twenty minutes from Disneyland Park, Knottea Cafe is a great pitstop on your way for a fun day at the amusement park.“
