50 Best Coffee Shops near San Marino

“What a peaceful and beautiful place! I went early around 7:30am and got myself a crunch A Latte and Chilaquiles. Both were sOOO good! The barista is a sweetheart! I didn’t feel rushed while I was looking at the Menu since it was my first time (Definitely not last!) that coffee woke me up! I love that they have outdoor seating.“

“I'm a teaspresso milk tea enjoyer and this is one of the best milk tea places I've ever been to. The popcorn milk tea is uniquely buttery without compromising the tea flavor or the balance of the drink. The koan-im oolong milk tea is similar to Chicha's drinks in style but is richer and smoother while being less astringent. 10/10, would absolutely come again.“

“Went on a late Saturday morning. The line was all the way to the door but we got to the front of the line faster than expected. Their matcha is alright and comes unsweetened, I cannot recommend for matcha lovers but I did like that they offer free honey packets to sweeten it yourself. Matcha mostly smooth and escaped being green colored milk. For the price it was what I would expect to receive. The caramel macchiato was solid, the amount of coffee was good and it didn't have too much caramel. The vanilla latte was also good. I received all 5 of the drinks I ordered in about 5 minutes. Seating is limited inside the cafe, but there's lots of seating outside.“

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

“I had a Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with no ice and level 1 (of 5) sweetness. I really enjoy freshly brewed milk tea (freshly brewed after order is placed) compared to milk tea prepared with tea that was brewed well in advance, had been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, and used only after the order is placed. I definitely recommend to try their boba tea.“

“The Freshwater Pavilion is a wonderful addition to the Huntington Chinese Garden. The small tea house sells an assortment of Asian snacks, drinks, teas, boba, and grab-and-go food. Its location offers plenty of outdoor seating next to the garden's beautiful lake, with a view of the Suzhou-style pavilions on either side. It's the perfect place to enjoy the gardens while having a quick sip of Milk Tea.“

“This place and never went in until a couple days ago and I got the rancheros sunny side up. The flavors were really good. I thought it was a little bit too white sauce the tortillas all the flavor was delicious. The staff was exceptionally attentive and I was just taking out. They gave me a lot of attention, which is pretty nice. Don’t see that anymore. We got a cup of coffee, which is really good and took it home far away for breakfastmaybe share with your friends.“

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

“whenever someone visiting asks me where a good matcha place is, i always recommend tea master! i love all of their matcha offerings, and i especially love coming here for dessert after a meal and getting the matcha soft serve. service is friendly and efficient.“

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

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

“This was the first time my wife and I had been to this coffee shop. I loved the atmosphere, very quiet and chill. The iced latte was spot on. My wife and I shared an avocado toast which was fantastic, never thought to put cucumber on the toast with a strawberry but it paired well. The toast did take 30 minutes to get to us. I had to go to the to the register and ask about it. I was told that the cook never received the order due to there being no paper in their machine. It happens so no biggie. My only advice would be maybe to have offered a free coffee or some compensation for waiting so long. Overall though, this place was fantastic and I would return!“

“Casual coffee / tea shop that also has specialty pastries. Highly recommend their Espresso Cloud iced. It's delish. Also recommend trying the Black Sesame Dark Chocolate Cookie, the Milk Cream Bun, and the Yuja Kumquat Tart; all three are very delish and not too sweet.“

“I can't say enough nice things about Belles. The staff is great and the bagels are the bomb! I love their new full service restaurant as I used to order from them through door dash or postmates during covid. Super friendly and wonderful space!! Go!“

“First time trying and will say it was delicious. I got the Iced Spiced Mocha 🔥 .. doesn't come sweetened so just an FYI I know some people like sweet drinks I loved it😋. Actually got to speak with the owner for a bit. It's a Salvadorian family owned & operated business and they own their own coffee fields in El Salvador. Glad I got to try them out definitely going back“

“Came here 5/7 days for breakfast on my trip to LA... I could hardly pull myself away from their chilaquiles!! Wow. Both with their signature Oaxacan mole and their homemade red and green salsas, truly unbelievable. AND their service was always hospitable and sincere!!“

“I ordered a Barrio Latte and a fresh juice, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth and rich with a hint of sweetness, while the juice tasted fresh and natural. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and unique flavors.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it a great place to sit, work on a laptop, or catch up with friends. If you’re exploring Boyle Heights and want something different from the typical chain coffee shop, Ülëw Coffee & Juice is definitely worth checking out.“

“Super glad I found a new exciting spot with GREAT coffee. My tastebuds were very happy with my iced sugarfree vanilla latte and banana cold foam! The coffee was bold and smooth and they did not over power the coffee with sugar! The staff was so friendly and sweet! I’ll be back again and again 🤍🤍🤍“

“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 a special gem. Found it randomly and was surprised at how great the staff was and how delicious their coffee tastes. I got a breakfast burrito with asada and it was delicious. They have seating area all over and it's a great place to hang out while enjoying your coffee and food.“

“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..“

“Mas Cafecito has delicious unique coffee flavored drinks. The only thing I was surprised about is that they don't sell regular unsweetened black coffee! How does a coffee place not sell regular black coffee?“

“Kumquat Coffee is one of the best specialty coffee spots in LA. The quality is genuinely next level — you can tell they really care about sourcing and how every drink is made.

The space is minimal and aesthetic, but pretty small, so it’s more of a quick stop than somewhere to stay for hours. There’s usually a line, but it moves fast.

Drinks are the highlight — especially their pour-overs and unique lattes. Prices are on the higher side, but it feels justified for the quality.

Downsides: limited seating if you want to sit and work.

Overall, a must-visit if you’re into proper coffee, not just cute cafés. Great coffee!“

“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.“

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

“1. The matcha was well-crafted and refreshing! The banana bread was also good!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The area is nicely arranged!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready after 5 mins!
Note: This spot does give access to the restrooms for customers!

“Tilt Coffee Bar is one of the best parts of living in the area. It is, in my opinion, the best lattes and coffee you can find in DTLA, and somehow they are so underrated. The peanut cloudy latte is one of my favorite lattes I’ve ever had, and it’s what I always order. The peanut pairs SO perfectly with the rich espresso. Their quiches and baked goods are also amazing, but that’s about all I’ve tried.

It’s also very pleasant to order my drink and wait for it in the grassy area in the sun. Overall, especially for such a troubled area so close to Skid Row. This is one of the most pleasant parts of the neighborhood. I hope they never go out of business. They deserve all the best.“

“Was super excited to try this place!
And they did not disappoint.
Matcha is high quality and it looks like they make their syrups in house and they are delicious. I had a cream top matcha with lavender it was so good! Did not have their coffee but it looked amazing.
Baristas super nice as well!“

“Excellent coffee and food. A really welcoming atmosphere too!“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“Ginger's Corner Market is an absolute gem in Pasadena! Its incredible location, unique charm, stellar customer service and fire menu to match its definitely a must stop when in town!

It doesn't matter what you select you wont be disappointed! Trust me, I've almost had EVERYTHING ON THE MENU!! The wedge is a delight with caramelized bacon to drool for, or the classic Cobb you can never go wrong with. My personal favorite is the ham n brie sandwich which is an incredible palate pleaser with both sweet and savory in one!

Stop in! You won't be disappointed“

“Apple Maps suggested it. Good coffee. No selection on non-sweet pastries. Disappointed on that. But still good coffee. I-5 n broadway location.“

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“Concierge Coffee is such a chill spot. The space is beautiful, the coffee is genuinely great, and there’s even a Departamento boutique inside to browse while you’re there. It’s a super nice place to read or get some quiet work done, and the courtyard has a gorgeous tree that makes the whole vibe feel calm and cozy. Every time I come here, I leave feeling refreshed—highly recommend picking one of their signature coffee drinks and just hanging out.“

“This place is a total gem. It has that neighborhood coffee shop feel. The coffee is excellent, the service is friendly, and you can tell they really care about quality. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee, meeting a friend, or getting some work done, Found Coffee is the perfect spot. Highly recommend!“

“I decided to take a detour and stop by at around 9 am from the A line train since the shop is right next to the station. The service was a tad slow due to the amount of people in the cafe chatting and on their laptops but believe you me, what they serve is the real deal. I ordered a Reserve Matcha Latte with some maple flavoring. It was delicious. I also ordered a pastry that looked like a sweet roll from Skyrim, it was 7 bucks but tasted like it was hand-made and actually had flavor. It had a nutty sweet taste with cinnamon. All in all I paid around 20 bucks for a drink and a pastry ladies and gentlemen but the food really was good. Was it 20 dollars good? You'll have to be the judge of that if you decide to stop by. The interior design is very modern with an industrial feel with wood highlights.“

“My friend brought cupcakes from here this past weekend. We both loved them. I have a sweet tooth so my dulce de leche flavor was perfect 😋 It was moist and just the right amount of sweet for me. My friend liked her peanut butter chocolate as well. Will need to check out this place in person next time.“

“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!“

“A great spot for a delicious latte!“

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

“Came across the cafe on Memorial day weekend when I was in the downtown area. Quaint little spot and is within walking distance to a lot of points of interest like Little Tokyo and the Grand Central Market. Lots of breakfast options but I chose to get the military latte and a egg, cheese, and bacon bagel sandwich. Very tasty and satisfying. Definitely recommend when you are in the area and craving something around morning/noon.“

“As part of the Medical Team stationed at the Rose Bowl during the Eaton fire we want to thank Home Brew for providing delicious coffee everyday. 😁🔥“

“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.“

“A little busy went during lunch“
