50 Best Cafes near San Gabriel

“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.“

“I been dying to visit this boba place years. I'm not from the SG area so it took some time but the interior place was 😮 it's was like space 🌌. And I love the design of the menu. I ordered a rose and lychee fried yogurt and it's so delicious n pretty. Each has rose petals as decorations and it's sweet and tangy. Next time I need to try their jasmine yogurt and their drinks 🤤“

“To all Filipinos and Filipino food fans out there! Do not be deceived with the name! This is not your ordinary bobba shop! Tim's Thai Tea/Mags Matamis serves the best halo-halo in SoCal! This will be my go to place from now on whenever I crave for halo-halo.

The place is perfect. You should visit Blossom Market Food Hall soon!

Tims Thai Tea - I hope you sell your ube and buko pandan ice cream in a pint🙏😉“

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

“I had the Spanish latte hot w whole milk. Really enjoyed it. Smooth and flavorful. Will ask for it extra hot next time. Son ordered an iced banana latte (sorry, can't remember the exact name of the drink), and he thought it was great, and he is incredibly picky when it comes to coffee. Also tried their ham and cheese croissant extra toasted. Flaky, fresh and yum. A big win for STCL!“

“Best popcorn chicken ever👍👍👍“

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

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

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

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

“Came out because of an Eater article, stayed for the mochi pastries. Got an espresso cloud, a black sesame mochi cake bar, and a hojicha mochi muffin. Espresso cloud was tasty, black sesame cake had a great flavor, and the consistency of the hojicha muffin was spot on. Came on a Sunday morning so it was a bit packed and hard to hear orders get called out (hence the 4 star atmosphere), but would absolutely come back again.“

“Warmly welcoming cafe with delicious food. How nice to be able to indulge in a treat and support a wonderful organization at the same time! We recommend the esquite, the pozole, and the strawberry hibiscus fresca. Can't wait to come back and try the famous chilaquiles!“

“one of the best places in los Angeles California“

“Delicious breakfast which is enough for two people so it's reasonably priced. The bacon was the best part. Potatoes are deep fried and I like mine less greasy. A lot of customers came in so it's a popular spot. I loved that they were able to make me iced coffee with oatmilk. The staff is friendly and the food comes out fast. They will seat you or you can seat yourself. You order at the counter and they give you a number and they bring your food to you. If you come to the front, you walk up stairs but staff said there is a large parking lot in the back and a ramp for accessibility. I will definitely come here again!

Today I got the toasted salmon cream cheese bagel and it is absolutely deliciuos!!! This place is very popular, non stop people coming in but you can get in and out quickly. They are fast and you can get take-out if you are on the go.“

“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.“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

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

“Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the charming, highly-rated Hello You're Welcome café. They make and bake everything in house- you can even see the ovens. Really friendly staff with a slight hippie vibe. Some items were made with almond flour, like their giant chocolate chip cookie, so I had to skip them (allergic). I was pleasantly overwhelmed by a delicious gigantic frittata slice with bacon, onions, and tater tots inside. Togadachi coffee is really interesting: the beans were fermented with lavender. Extra sugar helped me adjust to the unique flavor. The wall full of retail items features coffee beans in VHS boxes, which is a first! I love their mugs and bought one to take home.“

“I found them from an IG food review, like many others. So when I went they were out of several menu items because it was such a great review. They ended up making me a build your own breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! I had turkey, eggs and cheese on sourdough bread. That bread was magnificent, so perfect! One of the best sandwiches ever! I went back the following weekend and got the same sandwich but on a flaky, buttery, delicious croissant! Which was equally great! I'm not really down with community seating, which is why I gave atmosphere a 3, but the staff is wonderful, great customer service and genuinely seem happy to work there. My sandwich was a little pricey compared to what I'm used to paying. It was almost $17, I usually pay between $10 and $13.“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

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

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“Walked into the café 15 minutes to closing time not sure if they would take us in, but they were very kind to us and didn’t rush us and we had excellent service. I really like how you order at the counter many great options on the menu. As a Mexican American, I appreciate well-made Mexican food. I had the enchiladas Oaxaqueña and the taquitos Dorados and both were excellent. They do very well on their presentation as well. Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu. Prices are a little on the high end but overall, I think it’s worth it. My only critiques, and they have nothing to do with the food, would be to not make it so cold inside the restaurant and it would be great if the bathroom had a normal sink without the push button kind, ideally one that is sensor operated. These things are totally peripheral and are not influencing my overall view of the café, but if by chance anyone who manages the restaurant is reading this, maybe they can help improve the overall experience.“

“The people at the Kawada Hotel recommended this wonderful diner. I walked in and fell in love with the place. I'm not a fancy person,but I may as well have been eating at a Michellin Stared restaurant. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly. I love ❤️ a good diner for breakfast. If I were to recommend something, it would be to have something other than plastic silverware. Bring the kids...“

“Great coffee, great pastries, and an easy vibe. Street parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, but it’s worth it once you’re inside. There’s outdoor seating if you want some fresh air, and it’s right by the LA River bike path which makes it a perfect stop before or after a ride. Consistently solid spot.“

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

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

“Always a pleasure. I always receive excellent service. I enjoy take out and delivery. Cannot get enough, I just enjoyed their new tacos. What a surprise, 99 cents each, but for sure anywhere else would charge you $6-$7. This is my go to place easy, fresh, tasty and yummy Americano coffee.“

“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!“

“I love the neighborhood cafe, my sister had mentioned she enjoyed it last time she came with a friend and I came to try it out. I loved the food, their breakfast burrito so yummy and their chilaquiles too. Loved their salsa. Overall great experience and a nice environment to get breakfast and catch up with a friend. Robert and Norma were super nice and would continue checking in on us to make sure we were doing well. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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😒😒“

“First time here. Shared the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Both were good 👍 but the burrito was the favorite 🌯🫶 the green salsa it comes with yum! 🤤 the young ladies who work here are very sweet.
Clean even the bathroom.
Only negative parking 🫤“

“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.“

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

“The Burlington Arcade is so gorgeous and mandarin coffee stand fits right in! While the storefront only allows 4 customers at a time, waiting outside doesn’t feel bothersome because you’re in such a beautiful space.

While they do have citrusy flavors on their menu, much of their focus is on serving Chinese coffee among classics. I got the gui hua latte (which only comes hot) and it really grew on me, with the complex flavor combination of coffee, slight spice, and florality. Their Vienna latte was smooth and rich while their honey yuzu fizz was bright and refreshing. There are a couple of tables in the walkway, but I wouldn’t count on doing work here or staying for a long period of time. Parking is pretty easy in the lot, though!“

“Beautiful setting and great food“

“My husband and I had breakfast at Café Montrose, and it was a delightful experience. I ordered the avocado toast worh a delicious vinaigrette salad, which was fresh and delicious, while my husband enjoyed a hearty plate of eggs with green salad The atmosphere felt friendly and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a late morning meal. The staff was friendly and professional, adding to the overall positive experience. We will definitely be back!

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“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“

“Definitely try one of their sandwiches, they’re really good! The service was friendly, and I had a great time overall. I loved the music and the atmosphere; it made me feel relaxed and calm during my lunchtime visit. I’ll definitely be going back again 🩷“

“I enjoyed the good quality, quick service, and ample seating area. Was a good place to work and my drink was refreshing. Bubble waffle with ice cream was a super treat. I’ll be seeing a lot more of hop cafe in Arcadia.“

“Great coffee and amazing staff.“

“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“

“almond and hazelnut butter!!!“

“I stumbled upon this place while driving from LA to Las Vegas and searching for breakfast. We came all the way from Maryland for my birthday weekend, and this has been the best food we’ve had so far on our trip. Everything was amazing—from the coffee to the buttered bread served at the table. You can really see and taste the homemade care put into every dish.

I had the home fries, and you could tell they were hand-cut from thinly sliced potatoes. My friend ordered the veggie omelet—my God, it was so good. I had the pork chops with home fries and eggs, and wow… if only you could taste this plate. Don’t skip the homemade salsa they bring to the table—absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this place. 10s across the board.“

“Love the ambiance. Great food. Great service and excellent drinks are served at the bar. Great for an intimate dinner or for a special occasion.“

“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.“

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

“I went to try their coffee and scones since I've passed by them so many times and saw that they had scones on their online menu. Today, a staff member told me they don't carry scones, which was disappointing. So, I got a cinnamon twist and an iced crème brûlée. Tasty food and friendly staff, but the ambience was just average.“

“If you identify as brunch girl, you can't go wrong here. The tables in the alley give a nice buffer from the noise of the street. The vibes are SUPERB and the food is very good, especially the half and half (half chocolate, half coffee). Not the best option for Mexican breakfast, but a good one!“
