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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stealing a phrase from their menu here, but Belle’s bagels is the epitome of “Newish & Jewish” deli classics. Their bagels on their own (judged by eating them without any CC or toppings) are wonderful and I much prefer them over the bagels from Courage, Layla, and Jyan Isaac. They have all the usual suspects (poppy, plain, onion, everything, sesame, salt) and what I’ll call a zeitgeist spin on a typical Asiago bagel: the cacio e pepe. I ordered an assortment of bagels to-go but also had an egg & cheese on the cacio e pepe at the bar counter. It was unbelievably good and such a unique flavor - the crushed peppercorns were the perfect touch. The bagel was perfectly chewy and soft, which paired so well with the velvety eggs and oozing melted cheese. Sitting at the counter felt like I was being served little slice of Jewish deli nostalgia. I also tried one of the black and white cookies to-go and was pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t found a black and white cookie I liked in LA for years until now. If you ever miss New York or the hustle and bustle of a deli with charm and character, make your way to Belle’s.“

“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.“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“This place is super cute, has little available seating, and is expensive. However, the coffee is totally worth it. I've been to this coffee shop around four times, lol! The baristas are nice, quick, and knowledgeable. One of the baristas taught me about raw milk, which I had never had before. The coffee I’ve tried is the Cafe FC Sig, which is my favorite; I would rate it a 10/10. I’ve also had the Oaxacan Mocha, I wouldn’t say I liked it as much, a 6/10 sounds accurate. The pastries are incredible, I like that they have different varieties each time I go. I’ve gotten the chocolate croissant for my husband; he loves it. The banana chocolate loaf is to die for! One of the best coffee shops I have been to!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Anyway you worth a place to try!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋“

“Great coffee. The lattes and flat whites are perfection each time, perfectly textured. The line gets long outside but the wait is worth it. The interior is whatever, it’s a grab and go kind of place, although they do have an outdoor seating area but it’s not very atmospheric imo.“

“Best coffee in Pasadena ❤️“

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

“Let me just say I recently discovered this secret little gem. I enjoyed the mushroom coffee drink. I felt great after I drank it. I also ordered another café late and it was good too. It's at a gas station in north Pasadena in the back. The owner is a delight and excited to talk about his coffee. He is a coffee afficionado for sure. I will be back.“

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

“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.“

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

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection“

“Great new find in Highland Park for Brunch and Lunch with Oaxacan / Guatemalan flavors. The food is great, simple but beautifully presented. They make their own artisanal breads. Cafe de Olla is spot on. Chilauqiles Rancheros with Asada is superb. Quality ingredients. Superb service. Really nice staff. Ambiance is beautiful. Used to be Occidental College which evolved into a Car Dealership then Garage. Lots of history. Beautiful addition to the HP neighborhood. Loving this place!“

“A great spot for a delicious latte!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I never make reviews, but I love this place so much that I want to make sure it gets the traffic it deserves. The pastries are amazing (and I have tried many places - I am French in LA struggling to find it). Lattes are on par. A must go when in Montrose.
Pastries and drinks are on the expensive side, compared to a chain like Peets and so on, but matches the quality, and I have seen more expensive for less quality.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

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

“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 :)“

“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.“

“A little busy went during lunch“

“This place is so special! Aside from the delicious drinks and pastries, there is a warm feeling of community here. You can tell that the employees care about their customers beyond just knowing their names and usual orders. People here talk with each other and it’s a lively atmosphere that only comes from the familiarity from being part of a community. Love this place!“

“great staff and great coffee!“

“Alfred Coffee in the City of Pasadena is highly recommended. Service is impeccable. Kudos to “Christian” for his wonderful and friendly customer service. Go Salesian HS!! #Classof2015“

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

“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.“

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