La Monarca Bakery & Cafe

Went in yesterday for a coffee bag refill since I tried their coffee bag from Costco (sells them for less then $20) only to find they sell the same bag for $40. No thanks, that’s twice the price. I got a box of conchas and an orange juice instead but then was informed they couldn’t take my cash. That was all I had with me. I left with nothing. I’ve been to other locations and this one is really small, they don’t have the same stuff as the other locations and the employee did not seem very informed on anything. What a bummer because I enjoy going to this bakery but this whole experience was so unpleasant.

The atmosphere of the place is super cute and welcoming, and the desserts are even better! The desserts I tried were a perfectly sweet, would definitely eat again!

I moved to LA a couple months ago and this was one of the first cafes that I went to. The food is delicious, the staff are always super nice, and overall the atmosphere is excellent. The drinks are all a little too sweet for me, but will keep coming here for the amazing space

A great place to get coffee and Mexican pastries! My favorite coffee is the cafe de olla “as is” meaning I don’t add cream or sugar to it. It is perfect as is. I get two mini conchas and I’m out the door for under $10.

This bakery and cafe shop on the corner offers a delightful Mexican-style experience. It's enjoyable to relax in the shop while savoring a cup of Mexican hot coffee and a piece of freshly baked cake.

Really nice rajas (peppers corn and cream) pastry plus all other treats. Coffee was a new flavor and nice. If it was a bit cleaner it would be perfect.

As most other bakeries the cakes are drowned in sugar. You can’t taste anything but sugar. Also the cake was not moist. The staff are nice.

The guava cake is pretty good but did not care for the tres leches cake. I didn't finish it. Leaves a strong shortening coating in your mouth, and was soggy. I think I just personally don't like tres leches cake in general though.

Very good

Very good flavor, but in my opinion very expensive, paying for half of a moyete or a Mexican bolillo, 4 dollars is terrible.
