50 Best Coffee Shops near San Marino

“Need a perfect spot to chill x coffee? Cielo is the place. It's a new and spacious coffee shop in the heart of San Marino. Its Latin inspired menu and perfectly brewed coffee drinks makes it a good addition to the neighborhood. Similarly, they offer wine and beer for customers. And a free wifi.

The UNIT B's former two vendors were also coffee business shops - sadly they didn't last that long. Hopefully with Cielo would last longer. I came early Sunday morning to try their breakfast: chicken pesto sandwich and cafe de olla. Food was good and coffee was perfectly brewed. Prices seem fair. Staff was professional. Service was on point. Street parking and a rear parking lot are available.

Overall, it a chill coffee shop.“

“Always a great place to sit talk and redirect I had a productive visit“

“It was my first time coming to Chapresso. I was really impressed that they used tea leafs to make the tea. The tea tasted great! They also had good service. The simple design of the place is inviting but the space is limited. However, they do have open sitting outside the shop.“

“Red car is a nice little coffee shop that conveniently located at the Huntington library (right by the entrance). They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Except drinks and pastries, I'm glad that they also sell Fosselman's ice cream, sandwiches, yoghurt parfait, fruits and snacks in the store. They opens early at 8am, and drinks and food are allowed to bring into the Huntington library.“

“We were thoroughly impressed with Mari Vee, its comfortable dining space. Our waiter Fabian was friendly and helpful. It was our first time and won’t be our last . The presentation was everything. the portions were very good. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu.“

“Just had the best latke I've ever had, paired with the most memorable apple sauce, thick and spiced, almost jammy in texture...I'll be back just for those alone! The open faced bagel with lox and crispy salmon skin was also a win, and the server was super friendly. So glad I stopped by!“

“Delicious !! Came with 5 friends, everything we ordered tasted soooo yummy 10/10 😍 service was extraordinary, our servers Heber and Xitali were so pleasant and attentive. We were so pleased with the food and service, we already want to come back!“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“The ladies were super friendly and welcoming , I got a iced latte and it was very good but for the price I can get a bigger latte elsewhere for cheaper , it’s very small in there but it’s still a cute shop , I would come back but wouldn’t go out of my way“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“Came here with a group of 5 and tasted the tofu donuts and the matcha soft serve!

Good:
- Tofu donut was super unique, I couldn't tell that it was tofu
- The soft serve was amazing- so creamy and not too sweet, and the serving size was large enough for 2 people to share or maybe even 3!

Bad:
- Long lines! Super popular place so you'll wait about 10 min for your order outside and there's limited seating

Overall this was a fun hole in the wall gem to find!“

“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.“

“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.“

“What a lovely little coffee shop! I had the sweetened cloud matcha, and it was perfect. The sweetness level was just right. The place itself is small, but there are a good amount of tables and chairs right outside. It's located in a green space gap between buildings. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area!“

“Initially I was skeptical of Onething coffee because it just recently opened, but I am so glad that I took the risk. I was really pleased by the recommendation the baterista gave me. The male baterista recommended that I get a Korean Black Raspberry Ade. It's sour-sweet almost tasting like traditional Korean tea. This is going to be my new daily shop to stop by before work.“

“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.“

“Whenever I find myself in Pasadena, I make it a point to stop by. As I step through the front door, the aromas are welcoming, the setting comforting, and with it a slew of memories rushes back. I discovered Jones in the early 2000’s during business trips to Pasadena. Through the years it became a must have visit, even during family trips. Leading the way is Rafael. He’s calm and welcoming and his presence is felt every where. In fact, during a 2021 visit he spotted my family and me, came over to greet us, and fondly recalled my children who he hadn’t seen in close to 8 years. It’s that type of personal attention , and good product, that has kept me coming back. Enjoy!“

“Love this place food is delicious and very nice people“

“Friendly with an owesone staff. Coffee was so delicious.. � definitely. No more words than yummy..“

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection“

“Running into Majano’s Coffee at my son’s school event felt like a little gift from the universe. His lavender latte is hands-down the best I’ve had—smooth, fragrant, and calming in all the right ways.

I didn’t expect him to remember me (I’m usually the one dashing in between meetings), but he did. That small kindness made my day. Now that my mornings are freer, I look forward to making Majano’s a more regular stop after school drop-off.

Great coffee, kind energy, and a mobile setup that makes the ordinary feel special.“

“Anyway you worth a place to try!“

“Love all their Mexican Fusion drinks & especially the sugar free!!! Wide variety, there’s something for everyone ☕️ Plus everyone is very sweet♥️“

“A great spot for a delicious latte!“

“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.“

“Our morning ritual used to involve bludgeoning ourselves into a semblance of consciousness with the heavy-hand of a generic dark roast. It was an effective if inelegant solution to parenthood. Aqaurela's beans provide a different experience. We are by no means coffee experts, but my wife and I were surprised by the nuances in smell and taste when we tried their Deus Me Livre for our morning espresso. It's a lighter feel; almost refreshing. The morning cup feels a bit indulgent, yet not so rich as to make your mouth feel overwhelmed. We could see this pairing very well as an after-dinner treat with any manner of desserts. The best part is that this is simply a fantastic company to work with. Quick, fast delivery. Prompt follow-up to make sure we were completely satisfied. And all questions answered - when we noted that we typically prefer darker roasts, one of the owners explained that their goal was to make a medium-roast whose flavors would still hold up to a coordination with cream and sugar. It's a throwback to days where customer service and the personal touch were still important. This is a small business whose goal of promoting independent farmers is admirable and worthy of our support. Thank you!“

“This is our favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. Not just because it’s great coffee but because the people are just so kind and welcoming here they welcome my dog and I with open arms and it’s spacious enough to fit us as well and he’s really well behaved it works out and even though I have to walk a few extra steps away from our home to come here, it’s like coming home to family with coffee that is great and flavors that are distinct And different!“

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋“

“I stopped by this corner cafe on a whim and ordered an almond milk latte – it was smooth, rich, and exactly what I needed. While I was enjoying my drink near the window, a squirrel on the exterior ledge caught my eye. This little guy seemed oddly interested in my coffee break and kept peering in like we were old friends catching up. It made for a good laugh and somehow added to the charm of the place. Great coffee, friendly staff, and a surprise squirrel encounter – I’ll definitely be back.“

“I Love Amara!!! The best Avocado Toast in town!!! Nice atmosphere, friendly people and great service!“

“Sweet Demi Lune Bakery has not just flourished—it has become a cherished cornerstone of North Glendale and Montrose. Once a promising newcomer, it is now a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. Walking through the doors, you're still met with the same welcoming warmth—friendly smiles, lively chatter, and the irresistible scent of freshly baked perfection.
The bakery continues to set the standard, skillfully expanding its menu while perfecting its signature pastries. Their croissants remain unmatched—flaky, buttery, and impossibly light. And the Kouign-Amann? Still a showstopper, drawing pastry lovers from near and far with its rich, caramelized layers.
Now, Sweet Demi Lune has elevated its offerings even further, introducing breakfast and savory options alongside its renowned pastries. Whether you're in the mood for a light bite or something indulgent, there's no shortage of tempting choices. Their pistachio raspberry croissants, in particular, deserve high praise—layers of nutty richness intertwined with vibrant berry sweetness make them nothing short of sublime.
Beyond the menu, the bakery has embraced its role as a community hub. From seasonal specials to lively events, Sweet Demi Lune is more than a place to grab a pastry—it’s a space where people gather, connect, and celebrate life’s simple joys.
If you haven’t visited recently, consider this your invitation. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery remains at the top of its game, ready to delight you with familiar favorites and enticing new creations—all wrapped in a little extra magic.“

“This small café on York Boulevard blew me away with its inventive drinks—especially the citrusy Kumquat Sour and a smooth Hojicha Latte. The minimalist interior feels like a Zen hideaway, and the patio is perfect on sunny mornings. They rotate beans often, so every visit has something new to try. I also grabbed a bag of their house-roasted beans to brew at home. Definitely a local gem for serious coffee lovers“

“This is the best coffee shop around, no question about it. Their roasts are awesome and in this time of quarantine, is THE place to get your beans if you want quality coffee at home. You can order them on their website.“

“Not one of my favorite place, but the coffee is good. I found another coffee place that’s so much better but the coffee was OK. Customer service was great but there’s no parking that’s the toughest challenge but overall I did give them a 5 Stars for the customer service.“

“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 :)“

“This is the best place for Korean yummies. I go as often as I can. The staff are awesome and friendly. They sell flowers and even have a little gift shop too. It's one of my favorite places to eat.
I get the tteokbokki often. The mini gimbab is also super good. The fried combo is also really good and good for two to share. The deserts are also delicious. My daughter likes the korean corn dogs with cheese and the tteokbokki too. All the drinks we've tried have also been very good. I plan on eating everything from there at least once.
I highly recommend this place to everyone.
The flowers I have bought here have outlived all the flowers I've bought at Vons and Walmart.
I love this place!“

“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.“

“really great Thanks a lot and very nice team ❤️“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“Coffee is a simple process on the surface. Endorffiene elegantly crafts each cup with love.“

“The LATTE SHOP IS GREAT!
Banana latte & TLS latte are one of my favorite drinks the staff is great :) Definitely recommend for you guys to visit and the staff is very welcoming as well! If you want to study definitely visit the USC location for great seating and free WIFI of course :)“

“A little busy went during lunch“

“Great taste love the white chocolate mocha hot of course. Cheaper then that big coffee chain 😉“

“great staff and great coffee!“

“Nice place to chill, nice back patio too.“

“Such a nice little spot with both in/outdoor seating and free wifi!! So many vegan pastry options and obvi dog friendly with a nice little dog park in the back! We love a spot with merch and they have it: shirts, stickers,dog bowls and proceeds go to animal rescues! First timer but def going back 🙌🏽👊🏽 #Veganuary“

“😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩😋😋😋👍👍👍🇺🇸“

“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.“

“Friendly staff and easy to order! Great selection and even seasonal drink options. Definitely a great place.“
