50 Best Cafes near San Dimas

“Yesterday, I discovered a hidden treasure in San Dimas - Sweet Savory Cafe. This cafe is known for its delicious cookies that sell out quickly. They offer a variety of international flavors, including Cuban sandwiches, salads, soups, freshly made bread, empanadas, and other bakery items. Some items are not listed on the menu, so you can ask for the Chef's Daily Special. I always look for clean and relaxing cafes where my family can eat, or I can simply sit and enjoy a book. My experience at Sweet Savory Cafe surpassed my experiences at other cafes in Pasadena, Claremont, and Upland. I arrived early and enjoyed warm cookies and bread, which were absolutely delicious. I ordered various items including coffee, soup, breakfast, and bakery items. Despite not being a coffee drinker, I found the coffee to be delicious and memorable. I also tried their Healthy Breakfast Burrito with added bacon, which was customizable and very filling. The Lentil soup had an amazing aroma and taste. I can't believe I didn't know about this cafe before, especially since I work in the city! For those new to the cafe, you can order through Uber Eats, Grubhub, Postmates, and DoorDash. Visit their website at SweetSavoryCafe.com or call them at 909-305-9738. Their menu includes breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, avocado toasts, old fashioned oatmeal, and build-your-own scramblers. For lunch and dinner, they offer sandwiches, Paninis, burritos, Cuban sandwiches, veggie sandwiches, wraps, salads, combos, kids' menu, bagels, and more. They even have Keto-friendly San Dimas Barbershop Tacos! There is parking available in the front and back, and plenty of seating inside and outside. If you have a large party, they can accommodate you by pushing tables together. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it a wonderful place to read a book or enjoy a meal with family. They also offer freshly made orange juice, and all their sandwiches are made with their own bread. I tried a new flavor of Sweet & Savory bread and found it to be very delicious. I added cream cheese to it yesterday and tried it with butter today. This is definitely my new go-to place for food. I appreciate the cleanliness of the cafe and the fact that it's open early on for breakfast including Saturday and Sunday. I was even able to order all these items on a Saturday at 7AM. Thank you to the owner, Haydee, and her family for providing such a great first experience. I'm now a loyal customer!“

“Absolutely fantastic breakfast and coffee! The service was incredibly friendly and gracious.“

“They got bought out either a couple months ago or a couple years ago or both, idk. The food is expensive, but it's still pretty good. Worth a try for sure, though I definitely can't afford to come here every day. At least as of June 2025 they're still figuring out their hours but they haven't really cut back on hours much, at least not yet, so if it says it's open on Google Maps, they're probably open.“

“best Indian food in our area highly recommended.“

“Nick just happened to be working and was amazing! Wish we lived closer… it’s a little far to drive from Tucson… Hope to stop by on our next journey into Cali!“

“We sat outside ìn the patio area. Our server was friendly and patient giving us time to chat and browse the menu. Everyone enjoyed their meal, drinks and my water glass was kept full as our server kept an eye on us always checking to see if we needed anything. I highly recommend the Twisted Sage Cafe.“

“Went in to have lunch with my daughter. It was a pleasant experience and everyone who worked there was very professional and courteous

Parking: They have 3 reserved spots for curbside orders. Later in the evening open parking becomes more scarce because they share it with several other restaurants“

“Ordered a plain black coffee with an espresso shot and it tastes great! I just a cafe by how well their coffee tastes without any cream or sweetener, and this spot passes the test.

Stopped in here on a blind whim while trying to find coffee that isn't Starbucks. Very friendly staff, plenty of seating and a few nice soft chairs.“

“Great local coffee shop. The people are great and the coffee is even better!“

“I don't give out 5 stars lightly. But it's like this place was made for me. They are always switching up their desserts and are so eager to please because if you don't like a drink they will remake it when this place gets bad reviews I really don't get it they must be mixing up their boba shops. I wanted to gate keep this place but I also want it to last and be around for a while so this is a must try.“

“I happen to go to the tea place next door and saw this place and the menu caught my attention. I was fascinated by the port cutlet and the nice Japanese omelette over the rice with curry. I walk in and I get greeted by the lady who is so nice and friendly. Ordered the pork cutlet with rice and egg omelette and it was delicious

Cutlet was nice and crispy combined with the curry sauce. The was nicely done and added a twist to the rice. Definitely coming back here again. Friendly staff work here“

“Nice cafe, Portions are huge, Great service“

“The influence is real and it definitely delivered! Wow, the Spicy California Caesar Wrap was DELICIOUS. I cannot wait to have it again! I was able to order online and pick it up fairly quickly because the restaurant is right outside near the parking garage. The ambiance is very relaxing, I love their outdoor seating area that doesn't feel like you're in the mall but I also like that you can just go straight to the mall if you wanted to. I'm super grateful for influencers that find gems like these.“

“Wonderful boba tea! Delicious food as well! :)“

“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 great, I ended up getting three drinks tonight. Favorite was definitely their house coffee, hazelnut flavor. Customer service was great too. I really liked the music and ambiance there. I'll definitely be back soon.“

“Awesome place with healthy choices and amazing staff!“

“Nice teas also great beverages“

“Lucky to find this hidden gem. Ok so the karaoke room was a bit much for me but the food and service was amazing. The shaking beef noodle was the best, and I’m already thinking about going back again the day after. The pho broth was great also. Will be back. Go support the local biz also!“

“See Yelp review. I plan on going back as much as possible!“

“The food and pastries are absolutely delicious, but it gets very crowded and the lines are very long which speaks to its popularity. One of the employees was very kind and accommodated me and my family by moving us to a different table so we weren’t sitting in the sun. Thank you for the great experience.“

“Wonderful boba tea! Delicious food as well! :)“

“If you’re looking for a cozy and relaxing spot, I highly recommend **Hide Out by Tea Lane**. It's a wonderful place to unwind with a great selection of teas and a serene atmosphere. Perfect for some quiet time or catching up with friends!“

“Hey there! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant called The Gourmet Haven. Let me tell you, it was an absolute delight! The food was outstanding, with a diverse menu that catered to all tastes. From juicy steaks to flavorful vegetarian options, they had it all. The presentation was on point, and the flavors were simply exquisite. The service was top-notch too, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable meal. Overall, I highly recommend The Kellogg Ranch for anyone looking to indulge in a culinary adventure. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“best chow mein ive ever have and good service 👍 10/10“

“I haven’t been here for a while and had a craving for the Chilaquiles. I knew they added a new Mole salsa so I called to order that to go. I was told they also have a chipotle sauce, so I went with that instead. When I got home, OH MY GOSH!! Those were the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had with the Chipotle sauce. They were so good I’m embarrassed to say I lick the plate clean🥴. And of course the churros were amazing as usual.“

“First time trying Sul & Beans today with hubby and daughter. I've had shaved ice plenty of times before, but I'd never had it Korean-style! We are definitely coming back because there are so many flavors to try! Service was super quick, and everything was delicious! Big thumbs up!“

“Highly recommend kittys cakes! She made my wedding cake this week and I couldn't be happier with the result! It looks absolutely beautiful and was so moist and delicious. She was so kind and I am so greatful to her . All my guest loved the cake. Will definitely be ordering here again.“

“They have real glass coffee cups to use on premises.“

“Great tasting food in North Diamond Bar Freshly made fruit & veggie juices & smoothies Kid approved!“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“I tried their peach oolong tea and loved it! They have plenty of outdoor seatings (tables, benches, and booths) and what I also liked about this cafe is that I can bring my own food. You just need to purchase their drinks. As long as you get there between 10 am and 2 pm (Tue-Sat), you can grab a drink and use their cafe area!“

“Great service. Delicious Coffees!!“

“Love the coffee, great food, and ambiance“

“One of our favorite spots to have breakfast. Good family atmosphere and excellent service. The owners one is the cook and the waitress is the wife. Love these small type businesses were you get quality and personal attention. Lizzy call you by name, and 99 percent of the tome she already knows your order.“

“Above my expectations matcha flavor is amazing and just how I like it 👍🏻“

“Very nice store I went in Tuesday about 3:34 and one of the guys helped me that he had tattoos I don't know his name fantastic service. One of the girls are slender had an attitude I said hi and she just told him brush me off and appreciate that very nice story by the way“

“So their smoothies are excellent. The ones that have some sort of greens don't taste like they have greens in them. I usually make mine at home, but if you're on the run or you don't want to make one personally, I highly recommend them.“

“awesome halohalo and cozy atmosphere“

“The coffee was good! The staff was awesome, especially since they made my granddaughter feel special for her birthday. One of the staff gave her a waffle.“

“One of the most delicious dining options in Upland! If you're craving a meal that will keep you coming back, this is the place to visit. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. My favorites are the almond pastry paired with an iced mocha coffee made with coconut milk. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other spots. I highly recommend this place :)“

“We visited here because I heard they have daily specials. This gem use to be Lollicup. Same management but I’m glad they’re independent now.

Parking: They’re located in a large yet busy plaza. Finding a spot can be a hit or miss.

Ambiance/Environment: I absolutely love the interior! Super clean and bright. They have a medium sized space with a decent amount of indoor seating. You’re literally transported to a London train station. Peep all the details! I was also told the luggage is actually from London!

Service: Shout out to Sam and Nolan! Sam was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us their most popular recommendations & some tips about the drinks. Nolan was courteous, quick, & efficient!

Food & drinks: Their daily specials alternate everyday at a constant price of $8.95. We visited on a Wednesday night, and they had their tofu + milk tea or Thai tea special. I’m not a tofu fan, but we decided to try their other foods.

1) Matcha cheesecake - My favorite! The matcha is sweet, and the cheesecake foam was sooo good!

2) Thai milk tea w/ boba - I really enjoyed this! There was an equal amount of tea and creamer. It was more on the sweeter side, but you can adjust the sweetness level.

3) Milk tea w/ boba - This tasted as expected. Can’t mess up a basic milk tea. I got regular boba, and it wasn’t too chewy.

4) Orange Creamsicle - This was shockingly not orange lol. The taste reminded me of a cream soda. It’s perfect when you pair it with a savory food item.

5) Blueberry yogurt - Yummm! It tasted exactly as it sounds. The blueberry flavor definitely came through, and the consistency wasn’t too thick.

6) Cookie butter cold brew - I’m not a cold brew person either bc I don’t like watered down coffee. This was actually decent. I heavily mixed the cookie butter, and it gave it some flavor.

7) Mozzarella sticks - The cheese pull went crazy. If you love cheese, this is the perfect appetizer for you.

8) Gyozas - These were pan seared and filled with meat. The outer portion was very crispy.

9) Chicken & fries - Popcorn chicken served with crinkled fries. They don’t season it, so make sure you ask for some spice. I sprinkled the spicy seasoning all over the chicken & fries. I wished they hand tossed it.

10) Bulgogi fries - Sooo cheesy and delicious! The bulgogi sat on the crinkled fries with a generous amount of cheese on top.

11) Chew Chew Katsu - My favorite dish! The katsu was absolutely crispyyy. There was a generous amount of rice & lettuce. Make sure to dip! The creamy mayo sauce was our fav!

Pricing: Average prices for boba nowadays $$. I really like the theme. The drinks are fun and sweet. The food was perfect as snacks but could use some seasoning.“

“Best Coffee in town by far!“

“BB’s Cafe is SO good. I’m so happy that my loved ones and I were able to find a soul food place near home. The service is great and they make you feel very welcomed. The food is 10/10 and reminds me of my grandma’s cooking. I highly recommend going there!“

“This place was great, Crepes and Juice where tasty.“

“Overall, it's a really great spot for a quick breakfast and donut.

Their service is amazing. SUPER friendly folks and very nice. Lovely people I'd love to start every morning with.

Their food was good. Basic sandwiches that get you through the day and their donuts are always delicious.

It's tucked in a strip mall of a busy street. Outside can sometimes have some sketchy people, but the workers didn't seem phased. Like they're used to it.

Best for good service and good food.“

“I had the daily special today: Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry with a side of vegetable egg rolls. It was so good! Their smoothies are also excellent. Very friendly and prompt staff. Thank you!EDIT: this review was written prior to the change in ownership that occurred in 2024.“

“Very good service and fresh food 🥘“

“lo recomiendo al %100. its amazing place“

“Highly recommend! Great Customer service! Outdoor dining, sun was hitting our table pretty bad, they were unable to change our table, but they accommodated by putting an umbrella which was very much helpful to cover the sun. Their Pan Dulce French toast and tres leches pancakes are the best! Try the mimosas as well! 10/10 to this place!“
