50 Best Cafes near Rosemead

“Glad it’s open for a 9-hole outing on Friday walking with push cart at the Mountain Course. Last time I played here was in February before the health crisis. The new starter set up was actually more straight forward and efficient. Felt good to be outdoors and truly appreciated the open space and fresh air, after months of sheltering in place. Golf’s an individual game so keeping social distance wasn’t difficult. This usually-crowded course was decently maintained, quite easy and level without water hazard. The pace was good and this outing turned out to be an enjoyable experience.“

“Yu Cake delivers delicate, flavorful Chinese pastries with modern flair. Their cakes, like matcha and taro, are light, not overly sweet, and beautifully crafted. The shop’s minimalist design adds to the overall experience, and the service is quick and welcoming. Perfect for a quick dessert stop or to take home.“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

“I'd have to tell you last Friday I went to Lola's because my wife kept raving about how wonderful of a place it was. So I had to try it out for myself. A young lady named Abigail (who looks like Billie Ellish) and who just had this welcoming spirit and made you feel comfortable along with the rest of the staff. Once you were sat and you were able to go through the menu, I had looked up some items online and their food looked exactly as it was presented in their pictures. Even better, the food, it was absolutely, completely, delicious!!! The atmosphere made you not want to leave, and it was comfortable, it was inviting. They checked on you periodically to see if you needed anything at he same time, allowing you to enjoy the ambience of the place. I had the enchiladas and Arnold Palmer balanced perfectly. It's a good first date place. My date I've been with her 30 years Married and enjoyed every moment there, oh also our daughter was present.“

“Just kind of wandered into this place. It was clean, and a good selection of breakfast and light lunch fare (sandwiches, salads, etc). I had the vegan sandwich that came with a side of mixed greens. Everything was super fresh, the tempeh was flavorful, I loved the creamy spread, and the sourdough was perfectly toasted. And not a bad price! You order at the front and they give you a number, and the food came out pretty quickly. The staff were super friendly. Not a huge space, but there several tables open at 12:45pm on a Monday. 1 hour parking on the street (they might also have a garage, but I parked on the street).“

“Absolutely in love with this place. Gigi and her mom have built something special here. The BEST gluten free donuts I have ever had. I’ve been gluten free for five years and have been consistently disappointed with crumbly, dry donuts. Not anymore. This place has changed the game. Their donuts are perfectly moist and amazingly flavorful. I am beaming after visiting this place. Easily my new favorite spot and I will definitely be coming back. Impeccable vibes from the super chill baristas.“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“The experience was delightful, particularly service (Karina) and food/beverages. Dropped one star because despite having an Open Table reservation confirmation for outdoor seating at 2 pm, when arriving at 1:55 pm, was informed that the outdoor seating was "sold out".“

“First time here and ordered their iced chai latte. The barista was very friendly and suggested I add honey vanilla syrup because their chai is more on the spicier side. I took her suggestion and the chai tasted great! I definitely could taste the note of spice but the honey vanilla helped balance out the flavors. They also sold various pastries that I’d like to try next time. The actual cafe is small but there’s some seating outside. Overall. I enjoyed my visit and is a place I recommend trying out!“

“Modern, clean cafe with yummy Asian inspired treats. We got their chocolate mochi brownie, miso cinnamon roll, and cream bun.

All were delicious, but the mochi brownie was our favorite. The miso perfectly complements the cinnamon roll and the roll still tastes sweet. The cream bun was so soft and not too sweet.

Street parking available nearby. Cafe has good seating, high ceilings, and modern decor.“

“Wow wow wow wow.

Great food. Everything is fresh and flavorful. Cooked to order. I had the chorizo and fried egg torta. It's a day later, and I'd love to have another right now!

Happy and accommodating service. Nice seating outside.“

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

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“It's so good. I had the French toast because I always get Mexican - enchiladas or chilaquiles - so wanted to change it up and it was so custardy, delicious, bathed with strawberries and bananas. I also want to support Gloria's and go against an unfair boycott of this wonderful local restaurant.“

“First time visiting, lived in El Monte for 5 years never knew this place was here; small but spacious nice little diner to come have a meal. I had the French Toast Combo with a large orange juice came out to $22.20. With a $7.80 tip came to $30 flat. Food was fine/delicious, place seemed clean. Lot of help in the kitchen, pretty fast service, no complaints. The atmosphere gives like veterans POW/Elk Lodge/small town/diner vibes, a handful of older(40/50+) dudes, a young teen couple and a family with toddler was here when I sat in at 10am on Wednesday morning. Parking: I was able to find a spot,but it is limited-if busy.“

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

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!“

“Muy rico desayuno auntentico de Guatemala,servició excepcional empezando por la cajera y terminando con los meseros mi primera vez en este lugar y wow 10/10“

“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“

“This place was so amazing! I specifically want to talk about the service because it was phenomenal. Zen was amazing, and he had a great attitude and was super kind and interactive. He gave us an unforgettable experience. 100% would recommend.“

“almond and hazelnut butter!!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Tried the tiger latte with a salt bread and passion fruit croissant.

Latte wasn't too bitter nor too sweet and a perfect recommendation.

If you're looking for something savory, flaky, with just the right amount of buttery deliciousness the salt bread is for you.

On the other spectrum if you want something more on the sweet side but still full of flaky texture the passion fruit croissant is the way to go. Don't forget to ask for it warmed up at the counter if you're enjoying it in the shop!“

“best place! been coming here for sometime. can't wait for them to open in altadena.“

“Found about this place during anime night mart where I met Lele and Sue and they were both awesome. So I visited during the Hololive Cafe and it was packed. I had to wait a while but finally just took two of the food and one dessert back. The chicken was well seasoned and even the rice was good. I would buy this everyday.“

“muy ricos los postres y los desayunos todooooo 😍“

“I have been here twice now and I will be back many more times. All of the food has been absolutely delicious, the service is super fast, and the atmosphere is very comfy and welcoming. I've sat inside and outside, and enjoyed both spots, but you can't beat an outside seat when the weather is great. I also appreciate that if you order juice you get a whole real glass of juice and not one of those itty bitty half glasses. The coffee is also very good, it's not like the burnt cheap dinner style coffee, it's good robust coffee that actually has flavor. I've tried 3 different breakfast entrees now and all were great, but I love the pork, it's cooked to perfection.“

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

“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.“

“Best coffee shop for miles - everything about jpeg is first-rate. The baristas are serious coffee pros, and the drinks they make are among the best I’ve had. They roast on-site of course, and the variety and quality of the beans guarantees your next bag of jpeg will be yet another new adventure. We are Lucky to have them here in town.“

“Excellent Taste for there coffee. Home roasted coffee beans. Vanilla Latte 10 out of 10. Hazel nut Latte is 10 out of 10. Ron provides one of the best service for his customers. Keep up the good work for the Whittier community! Bring your own mugs or insulated travel mugs for a better taste.“

“A great bakery, full of yummy baked items, prepared meals to go, breads to take home, sandwiches, salads and yummy desserts. I always stop here when I'm in the Sierra Madre area. They offer baked breads and prepared entries. Prices are a bit high, but worth every penny.“

“Been coming here for years, People are great food is excellent and I just love the old diner atmosphere all thumbs up from me .“

“This particular Klatch location has a special place in my heart - staff is always respectful, knowledgeable, and amicable. The quality of the coffee and drinks are immediately noticeable.

From espressos to cold brews, not only do they taste like ‘proper’ coffee shop coffees; they definitely do the trick. I unfortunately cannot say the same for all cafes, as there is usually something missing; whether it be quality, taste, effect, overall environment, or service. Klatch Coffee Pasadena, however, checks all these boxes and will thus remain as my go-to coffee shop :)

Special shoutouts to Isiah, Brenda, and Mia! Y’all probably tired of seeing me! Lol.“

“I was looking for a cute coffee shop to go to with my husband and this definitely met my expectations. We felt transported to another country immediately because of the aesthetics they have curated here. We had to wait about 35-45 minutes for the coffee and the baristas were nice. I got a ham and cheese croissant (I would rate it a 7/10) and the Vienna with oatmilk (which was the best out of the Toasty and Matcha) in my opinion (8.5/10). My husband got a croffin and the Toasty, and he liked the croffin more than the Toasty. The croffin was really good, and I agreed that the Toasty didn’t blow me away. We ordered Matcha for my sister to go and she said initially it was average, but as you stirred it up it got better. Overall this was a really cute coffee shop with good pastries, nice baristas, and good coffee. If you’re open to wait for the line, I would definitely make my way down to mandarin to try out their coffee!“

“wow first time here food was excellent. very nice customer service 👍💯.can't wait to come back 😀“

“Love Gio’s! Everything is fresh and tastes good always!! Quinoa breakfast bowl is my favorite!!“

“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�“

“Chili dog is yummyyyyyyyy“

“I came here with a friend right after watching a movie in the nearby theater. The churros are otherworldly. Neither in Venezuela, nor in Spain would you find better churros (I'd know, I've been to both countries). The prices are incredibly reasonable too. The side toppings are varied, caramel and sweetened condensed milk are the two that stood out to me the most but you can also go for Nutella, amongst others. 10/10“

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

“Fresh and soft donuts like cotton candy you eat and melting in your mouth. Even Dunkin‘ Donuts CANNOT compare with Sunrise Donuts, Original Donuts, real donuts. I used to be a Donuts Baker, that’s why I know what real delicious and juicy donuts are like. In addition, always friendly staff and clean A+ environment. Best donuts in town.“

“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 Kaldi Coffee on our interview date. Ever wondered where they shot the coffee scenes for films like Lady Bird, Prom Night, The Ugly Truth (AKA my favorite rom-com ever in the entire world) and tv shows like Brothers & Sisters, Parenthood, and most recently Splitting Up Together? Who knew that it was right underneath our noses tucked away in beautiful Pasadena, CA! Kaldi Coffee & Tea certainly has the appeal of the go-to coffeeshop with its weathered brick walls, worn wooden seating arrangements, maintained hardwood flooring, and classic oldies tracks playing in the background. Even with its somewhat infamous reputation in the film and television realm, the food and drink options are reasonably priced. An array of classic coffee and tea options with a seasonal signatures, like the deliciously refreshing honey vanilla latte that I couldn’t help but choose, showcase that they try to cater to every type of customer that rolls in. From the minute you step through the shop’s forest green framed doors, you can just tell that generations of coffee lover have come through here. Plus there is a strong sense of community with local artwork on display, and a bulletin board with notes of local events, offers, listings, etc. tacked to them. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot to spend the day reading, playing music (on their front seating area of course), or are a movie and tv buff looking to visit a place with some history, Kaldi Coffee & Tea is the hidden gem you’ve been looking for.“

“Nice little cafe in Alhambra near Pasadena with a simple menu of sandwiches, croissants, coffee, and tea. The location is convenient in a lot of covered public parking. The service is quick and the staff are polite. The food is good for a cafe and a simple breakfast, lunch, or snack. If you're looking for a full complete meal then you will need to find a restaurant.“

“Classic diner comfort food! Kids menu 😋“
