Kid-friendliness: It tastes great, feel free to eat it! ! ! Very clean, no need to worry about food safety issues“

“Amazing service! Nice elderly couple running the place. They have a great selection of teas, coffee (including Vietnamese coffee), and smoothies/slushes. I got the honeydew boba, which I believe comes automatically with non dairy milk. Overall, great place inside of the market to get a quick drink.“

“Picked up a smoothie, vegan muffin, and a pecan bar this morning. Mary Lane’s treats are always a hit.“

“BOG, Wa Sai Watermelon, Strawberry Basil Ginger Lemonade!“

“Best popcorn chicken ever👍👍👍“

“Best coffee I’ve had. So many different flavors that I have a different kind every other day.“

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

“Guys I literally thought some of the photos must be fake... they're not. I got exquisite latte art (good coffee too!), beautiful plates of delicious food. I have no idea why this place only has 88 reviews, but the 4.8 stars is accurate! On top of that, it's a very cute location. Please try out Old Town Caffe!

We got the Salmon Bagel, Sweet Latte, Ube Frozen drink, and Egg Avocado Toast and they all exceeded expectations :)“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

“Guerrilla Cafecito is a great breakfast burrito joint & coffee house from the team behind Guerrilla Taco. The GTLA (steak & papas) breakfast burrito is the best in the city. Tortillas from Mejorado, so you already know. My only complaint… a little stingy on the salsa. But it’s 2024, so bidenomics and whatnot. I get it. But don’t let that stop you. The burritos here are out of this world.“

“First off, the menu was an embarrassment of riches. Even for my vegetarian wife who often struggles to find a lot of options, there were so many options we talked about coming again later today.

I got the rib eye chilaquiles. When it came I was a little disappointed because it was a steak and eggs with some chilaquiles on the side (I thought they'd be some crazy mixed up thing). After I started eating it, however, I decided they could of brought it in a bucket and made me eat it off the floor and I wouldn't have wanted to complain. The steak was cooked incredibly. So much flavor. And the incredibly non-descript eggs were somehow just tastier than normal eggs. I really don't know how they did it.

This is absolutely going to be our new main breakfast spot.“

“First time here, parking is tight. Paid lots and street parking are what I saw, possibly more around back. Lots of people outside as there are many offices attached. Very clean over here, just outside of down town. Small menu but good and fresh! Fair prices. Seating available inside, also has an actual restaurant as well. Friend staff. Would recommend and would return, especially since it’s for a good cause. Keep it up!“

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

“This boba place in Temple City has a nice touch too it. The interior design is pretty cool. The drink menu is pretty long so there's lots of options to choose from. You can get a reusable glass bottle for around a dollar extra which I did get. I ordered the regular milk tea with boba. The drink was okay but better than other places I've had. I would say the atmosphere of this place is nice because it can be used as a study spot since last time I went it was pretty quiet and they had seating. The service was pretty quick as well. Overall, great experience.“

“Lovely service, friendly and informative folks working there, and nice tables outside in the shade with lots of greenery and interesting things to look at. Bonus: delicious food!

Dietary restrictions: Many vegetarian and vegan options.“

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

“Excellent coffee, fresh pastries, and whole beans!

Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. It’s clear the owner cares deeply about the community and routinely offers popup opportunities for other businesses in the area.“

“It was mine and my husband’s first time going to The Neighborhood Cafe. The atmosphere was clean and pleasant to be in. Robert was amazing with us constantly seeing if we need anything (which we appreciated). They have amazing food and we felt right at home. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of their menu ?“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“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.“

“I came to this cafe after seeing the reviews and this cafe is great. It has a spacious and inviting seating area and the person at the registered was super nice as well as the person making the food when they handed it to me. I will definitely be back! I had the iced latte and the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant. They both were great as well! :)“

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

“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😒😒“

“Second time here-the goodies are delicious and elegant with a delightfully stylish twist (Madeleines with a citrusy yuzu glaze; Chocolate chip cookies with sesame, sugar cookies with miso, lime tarte with a sugared shiso leaf topper, etc. ) and the coffee is Excellent-10 out of 10 for this alone. Fabulous addition to the neighborhood and truly worth a drive over from wherever you are.“

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

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

“A little pricey but tasty. There was a fly in the store though, feel kinda bad for whoever ends up eating the donuts it touched in the display case ? I would beware of the ready-to-serve items. Feel like they shouldn’t prop the doors open?“

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

“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.“

“Choose this based off reviews in the area and it did not disappoint. Was a quaint little vibe and even though I didn't stay long enough to eat, everything looked tasty and delicious. I love that they served my latte in a cup for here, it really adds more of a familiar ambience. My one complaint however no wifi, usually this is not a huge deal, however they had the space for me to easily work on a computer so a little bit of bummer, since most shops with the space will have some type of wifi network. Innerstandable and definetly not a deterrent in the larger framework. The latte I ordered was well made, and for almond mylk had quite a bit of foam which isn't always easy depending on the brand. This was a nice stop in a very long road trip; and will save to my maps places, to return next time in the area.

Parking: Curb your tires if you park in this area on the street, they are serious about tickets if you fail to do so.“

“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“

“Highlight Coffee Shop in Glendale, CA is a true gem for coffee lovers. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a cozy coffee experience.“

“Zweet Cafe has great service, food and comfortable seating (which is crucial for me since I stay and write most of the time.)“

“What I had
Breakfast burrito with steak ($15.5+$3)
Horchata latte with oat milk $6

What he had
Turkey bacon egg bagel $11.5
Vietnamese iced coffee $6.5

ORDER WHAT I HAD! The steak breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious. Great seasoning, great portions, evenly distributed so every bite had a little bit of everything. The steak were little strips, but it made it tender and easy to consume. The iced horchata latte was sweet and cinnamony with a great espresso taste, no watered down taste!

What he had didn't impress me as much, but it doesn't mean it wasn't good. It was fresh, and the eggs were fluffy and made perfect, but I'm not a big fan of turkey bacon on a sandwich and the bagel wasn't my style of bagel (I like them chewy). His Vietnamese latte was not sweet at all which typically is mixed with condensed milk so idk if a step was mistaken. We actually ended up mixing our coffees together.

I'm sure if we had told the gentleman he would've just made a new one or added sweetness, because he was so kind and inviting, but we were too focused on our food to really care.

Atmosphere is what took a star down. Cute and clean place but it was a bit stuffy. Would've just ate outside where the air felt nicer, but the one table was in the sun so it wasn't ideal.“

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“If you would like a nice and quiet place to spend your day, I'd suggest California Boba! The menu was recently updated so they have a variety of drinks and toppings. It's also a great place to study, the seats are very comfortable.“

“We are grateful to have been members of the Huntington Gardens for a few years. Each year, my daughter & I try to celebrate our birthdays at the Rose Garden Tea Room. Last time we visited, after it's reopening, our food was fine, but it wasn't great. Both the service and the food were great this time! 💓“

“Definitely go for the coffee. Delicious speciality lattes, albeit much smaller than you would expect.

Ordered food on here on a few occasions and its ridiculously overpriced. Remembered getting grits and a coffee and it was the most underwhelming $30 I’ve ever spent. Chicken sandwich is slightly better though if you want to drop $18 on a little sandwich.“

“Went here on my birthday on October 23rd this year with my family and Maid Nagi was very attentive, helpful, and very sweet. I ordered the SR Kawaii Combo and got the Omurice with Ketchup writing as my Entree, Ichigo Cheesecake for dessert, and Sakura Flower Milky Tea. The food here is made fresh and hot, while the taste for everything was really delicious and I had a good time here. Maid Nagi also wrote Happy Birthday on my Omurice as well as my polaroid included in the set which I thought was very cute and generous. The place was really elegant and clean. I recommend Arcane if you’re wanting to celebrate a birthday, just want to chill out with friends, or family.“

“Excellent service, sweet ladies, great prices & a humble atmosphere�“

“Immediately after I walked in I was greeted in a real way and asked what I was feeling like. They made me the special they have currently which was delicious. I also bought their Everything Bagel Croissant which was also delicious and unique. Geeky vibe with cozy energy. Excited to return.“

“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.“

“BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER WITH THE MOST AMICABLE SMILING FACES AND OF COURSE THE BEST SERVICE EVER GERARD FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA“

“Best churros. I order on uber eats too often. Nutella and condensed milk as dipping sauce for the stick churros - cinnamon and sugar only. Classic. So delicious. I would venture out to try the Oreos and filling ones but I am just so obsessed with the OG churros. They give a very good portion too !“

“muy ricos los postres y los desayunos todooooo 😍“

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

“Unusually pleasant tiny coffeeshop in a somewhat magical setting- - if it’s an odd time on a weekday, I am guessing. I came on a weekday afternoon and waited quite a while in line behind less than a dozen people for at least twenty minutes. It seemed excessive, to be honest- but maybe people were on break. The staff seemed really pleasant otherwise, and were also working hard - maybe something had malfunctioned and they had slowed down.
I noticed a patron sipping from an actual ceramic cup-always nicer than paper- andI ordered the gui hua latte. Both the flavor and the physical presentation of the drink were beautiful.“

“A Hidden Gem: Superba Snacks + Coffee

Superba Snacks + Coffee is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends casual comfort with a touch of modern elegance. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.

The menu is a delightful mix of creative and classic options, catering to both adventurous eaters and those who prefer familiar flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or just a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, Superba delivers on all fronts.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The breakfast burrito is a standout, with a perfect balance of creamy and crunchy textures. Their pastries look amazing. And the coffee? It’s some of the best in town—rich, smooth, and expertly brewed.

What really sets Superba apart, though, is the attention to detail and the quality of ingredients. You can tell that everything is made with care and a true passion for food. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, savoring every bite and sip.

If you’re looking for a place that combines great food, excellent service, and a relaxed vibe, Superba Snacks + Coffee is a must-visit. Whether you’re catching up with friends, grabbing a quick bite, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee, Superba is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!“

“The staff are so nice here! It's right on the bike path and I love to ride there.

During the week, the atmosphere is so nice and cozy. It's a shared business space, which can make for some interesting people watching.

I wish they were open a little later during the summer because they are always closing just when I'm craving that last coffee of the day.

I avoid it on the weekends because the line is usually out the door and the crowd is usually pretty unwelcoming, especially if you try to ride there.“
