“Update: 2024. Been back since my “ missing avocado toast” incident. Almond butter croissant is excellent and told to WAIT for the toast when paying and receiving my bakery items. They have seating for small parties of 1-4……..The service is friendly but they’re all trying to help each other with larger orders and no one verifying completeness but of course they charged full order with $8 avocado toast missing. And yet, I’ll be back because those damn chocolate almond croissants are ridiculously good.“

“Try to get here as early as you can! I got here probably at 9.40 AM-ish. Definitely a pricey pastry BUT worth to try (and come back to). Probably one of the best croissants I’ve ever had in LA. Flake to perfection, inside is very buttery soft and fluffy. Atmosphere is very cozy and nice to work.“
“I was in the area for work and a coworker actually recommended this place to me! It seems to be one of those trusty college delis that suddenly appeared one day and permanently becomes student lore. Inside, I found a quant mini-market stocked with a bunch of snacks, drinks, and the counter for ordering. The worker (i forgot his name!) helped us immediately, and I ordered the pastrami. I sat outside, where there were plenty of tables with shade! The worker brought out the sandwich to us, and I thought it was huge! The price seemed a bit high for ne, but that wasn't too big of a concern since the sandwich was jam packed with meat and kraut. The flavor wasn't too salty for me, and had the right amount of flavor with the bread. This was a great spot, and I'll have to stop by again.“
“I placed an order online, and went to pick it up. It's difficult to find a parking spot!! I went inside, and found the place for online order pickup. A few people in that line, and after showing my order confirmation, it was about a 5 minute wait. But the line for dine in was really long! And there is a reason! IYKYK.?“
“This is a small cafe in a medical plaza. There are minimal seating but they do provide some additional seating in front of the pharmacy inside the building! We arrived a little after if opened and there were already many people ahead of us! We tried the chocolate strawberry banana waffle as well as their egg deluxe croissant. They were fairly priced! They were both delicious though I wish I had asked them for a crispier waffle. Their service was just as expected for a small cafe making everything to order. We waited about 10-15 minutes. We would definitely come back to try their bagel deluxe!“
“Best Thai food I've ever had. Their burgers are great, too. Best service ever! I highly recommend the Angry Chicken, Pad Kee Mao, and Beyond Burger.Update: This place just keeps getting better. They did such an amazing job helping cater a Harry Potter Party. Thanks so much!!!“
“Come here all the time. Food portions are very generous and the coffee here is great. A bit on the strong side at times but you’re definitely getting your moneys worth. The breakfast burrito, crepe, French Toast combo, and of course their açaí bowls are my favorites. They make a pretty hearty breakfast sandwich as well.Because their portions are big, don’t come here expecting to pick up fast food. The service is not slow. These people work hard to get your food orders ready accurately but wait time for your meal could be anywhere from 10-18 minutes. But when I tell you it’s worth the wait, trust me. I come here before work and order ahead for my lunch breaks.Staff is of course always great and friendly.“
“The most delicious breakfast sandwich I've ever had. So many vegan/veggie options for my friend too. Next time I'ma have the yogurt granola and the chocolate Abuelita. The vibes are perfect too - beautiful art, cozy indoors, fresh plants “
“Love this local sandwich shop with a bit of history, amazing staff, and delicious food! Not typically a sandwich person, but this place is definitely working on changing my mind! The tri-tip sandwich, available on Thursday and Friday only, is amazing, nice smoky flavor and melted cheese, works just so well. The Hey Joe sandwich is great any other day of the week if you're a meat lover - pastrami, roast beef, and a hot link! Give them a go and support, my favorite type of restaurant to support, cheers!“
“The Earl Grey latte is SO GOOD!! I'd say this shop is a little pricey, but if you sign up for their rewards programs the points stack up past and you'll be getting a free drink or food item before you know it. I love that this coffee shop always has friendly staff and a peaceful atmosphere. Also has some outdoor seating if you want to bring your pup!!“
“Hidden away in a small shopping center J & A's is very easy to miss, being next to a water fill station and some sort of wooden sculpture store is never open. This cozy little place has a great atmosphere and the staff is very kind. Your coffee cup rarely goes empty. The food is very good and they have a variety of options to choose from. Great place for seniors to take advantage of the specials. Generally you will pay between $15-20 dollars per person but it is worth it. This place is a CASH ONLY location so be sure to bring it.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot is right at the entrance and plenty of tables with chairs.“
“This is a small place, but a small place with so much heart. One of the highlights of my annual business trip to Pasadena. Great coffee, breakfast food, deli sandwiches, beer, wine, etc. I once got a Cordova breakfast burrito every day three days in a row and love every second of eating it. (This was last month) anyway, can’t go wrong!“
“Came to try this out with my 3 kids and it was incredible. The grilled cheese was on point, and my kids devoured it. I asked for a recommendation for a not so sweet ice i coffee and the barista told me to try a caramel ice coffee. REALLY good! Also got some chocolate cake for desert. I'll be back to try every item on the menu lol. Also, I found a new life hack (if I'm late, I'm sorry). Bringing toddlers to the mall before the stores open is not only free, but the toddlers can explore all the shops without causing a ruckus!“
“The chicken fried steak and eggs was AMAZING!!! OMG the gravy was delicious, it was like the steak juice was in this mix. The sourdough bread was soft and delicious witj a little butter and grape jelly. I dipped the bread in the gravy and almost fainted at how good it was lol. The coffee is bomb the service was great and the vibe was chill. We will go again!Chicken fried steak was a hit ya'll !“
“My bff brought home 2 vegan pan dulces from here, they were tasty , but not mind blowing. Props & blessings to Them though for making vegan items . I had a pumpkin empanada & concha type pan: too dry imo. I'll recommend cuz they're vegan, but I won't purchase or travel here. Can't opine on the price or parking or staff as I didn't visit the site.“
“The staff was very polite and accommodating due to the rain. They were understanding that we wanted to take our time so we wouldn't have to walk outside in. The food was delicious and worth the price. The server explained that the Huntington Tea comprised of tea size sandwiches, but when it arrived, my fiancé and I were astonished at the amount of food they give you, in addition to the tea and glass of Prosecco. We needed to take our time as everything was very filling. We highly recommend it, just don't eat before like we did“
“The food is so tasty and fresh! Their Ube Cheesecake didn't disappoint and I can taste the Ube afterwards. The Ube Latte is great along with a bit of a Latte Art! And the lady at the counter was kind, patient and helpful!l The inside of this coffee shop is adorable and found this decorative piece tucked away in the back ...“
“Hip and modern cafeCome and check out their menuThey have both indoor and outdoor.Got Costa Rica pour over, purple Carmel latte (with Ube?), sea latte Carmel cappuccinoGreat drinksThe pour over is fragrant and delicious.Purple Carmel was delicious definitely recommend.They had live dj playing while we were here.Parking: Street parking recommended or neighborhood parking“
“I waited five years to try this place once I had heard that Wong Fu opened it, and the wait was worth it. The Taiwanese spicy chicken sandwich blew my mind and my spirit, and the quality of the tapioca was amazing. I don’t even live here, but I will be coming back soon.“
“the staff inside were soo nice and the food is simple and healthy but delicious! got the pesto sandwich with chicken and a caesar salad and it was great. was also out really quick. oh, and i got their blueberry lemonade and it was actually so good. 10/10“
“Good beans and they know how to make espresso but not as good as the better shops in Pasadena. Croissants are nothing special and a bit expensive, but other baked items are good. Worst atmosphere around, with an industrial kitchen and other operational detritus on display for all to have to look at while ordering.“
“Such a joy! This shop is truly special. The house made almond milk is outstanding. Every pastry I tried + the almond butter toast was delicious. I was visiting from out-of-state to record some music nearby and Heath (a barista) learned my name on day 1. I visited 3x during my trip, and everyday I was welcomed by name and served with such kindness and sincerity. I had to leave with some merch (love the aesthetic)! I’m looking forward to the next time I’m near Los Angeles. Absolute gem.“
“Superba is an excellent breakfast/Lunch spot. You cant go wrong with anything on their menu and their baked goods are some of the most delicious around. Their madeleines and cookies are my two recommendations, especially fresh. My go to is their egg breakfast sandwich, but the breakfast burrito is also a must try. I recommend superba for a quick bite or a nice meal with friends, but not very many plugs for the internet cafe goers.“
“We have enjoyed, many years now, the ham and cheese croissants, roast beef and cheese sandwiches, and the large chocolate donuts with chocolate chips and maple long John's. The 2 ladies that serve are always friendly and very hard working with a smile to start everybody's day.Kid-friendliness: They always ask how they're doing in school and wish them happy birthday“
“Love the atmosphere and theme of this place. I went with friends and we love it. The drinks were good and the frozen treat was good. We went at a later time around 9ish and there was one worker throughout our stay. He was wonderful and hardworking because there was good amount of people that came to dine in and take-out.“
“The food is just good comfort food with great personal service. My go-to dishes are the corn beef hash, short stack pancakes, and the French toast. I love their fried chicken and waffles! So good! Their burgers are great, too. Good coffee to boot!“
“I always come for the Breakfast burrito and add bacon to it. The Mayan mocha is better than regular mocha. They've been generally busy every time I've come so before 10 is best to avoid a wait. If not, the wait can be 10+ min depending on the queue of coffee drinks and food.“
“Hands down a great experience!At first I thought it was a bit pricey for brunch but unlike many places, it is well WORTH IT.We got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and the Popping Yolk burger, and were highly impressed.The portions were large which included the best roasted potatoes and regular garden salad. My boyfriend visiting from Ireland said those were the best potatoes he’s had since visiting lolEverything was seasoned well and the burger was cooked just right. The staff were friendly and helpful, you order before you sit down.I went purposely on a rainy day and there was plenty of seating around 1:00pm in the afternoon. The menu selection was great, will definitely want to try one of the Benedict’s on my next visit. Will definitely come back again!“
“The famous franchising local coffee shop. Many people gather in the morning while the lane is sometimes long and the seats may face the shortage of the seats. The coffee is generally good as I tried the vanilla Bean Flavored Latte. There is somehow a secret menu of the affogato named as the Summer's Macchiato! The espresso with the vanilla ice-cream scroop! That's great in taste and cheap in price. Plenty of parking here and have the curbside pickup option if using the App. Might try for the good items next time.“
“I recommend the menudo! They make fresh tortillas daily. The French toast breakfast is also a good choice. They close early and get busy so best to go early.Parking: Corner shopping mallKid-friendliness: High chairs available and kid menuWheelchair accessibility: No stairs“
“Came by for a study sesh with a pal Drink- -Cold Brew: it's very light. Pal appreciated it since it's 3p and we're drinking coffee and studying and also.. coffee runs through our veins... BUUUT I prefer it to be stronger. Also their lids are a bit drippy, or maybe only we got those lids?? Ambiance- -relaxed and comfortable whether inside/outside. There seem to be enough outlets, but it's a good mix of people studying/reading/working and people hanging out and it works! Worth a try though I know I haven't tried their food food just yet. It's a bit out of the way for me so their coffee doesn't draw me. But I'll be by likely again and will try for some fooood!“
“This is my most favorite breakfast place - so much so that I make the drive from Palmdale twice a month.The scrambled tofu and vegan options are absolutely amazing and honestly, better, than some vegan places I've been to.Service is impeccable and fast.Definitely check Millie's out.“
“IT's A CAFE' ON HOSPITAL GROUNDS. NOT HOSPITAL FOOD AT ALL! ORDER AND PAY AT THE KIOSKs, BREAKFAST BURRITOs AND OR A HOT PAsTRAMI SANDWICH. ALL MADE TO ORDER. ALL FRESH AND DELICIOUS. DINE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE IN THE SUNSHINE UNDER THE UMBRELLAs. WHETHER YOU'RE THERE FOR A DR APPOINTMENT, TREATMENT OR THERE FOR FAMILY/FRIEND SUPPORT IT'S NICE TO HAVE THIS CAFE' TO EAT GOOD FOOD THAT IS A CLEAN AND QUIET PLACE.“
“The best!!!! I love coming here to satisfy my cravings. I would recommend the Halo Halo, vanilla caramel milkshake and the coconut milk tea! The service is great and the atmosphere is amazing & very aesthetically pleasing. Lots of books to look at and places to sit and study.“
“Came for a late night snack and came out pretty satisfied! Our cashier/server, Cindy, was amazingly helpful and friendly in recommending their best sellers so we opted for the Nutella-filled churros and just a plain soft serve to pair with it. The churros were made so fresh it was crisp and soft (not to mention so much thicker than I expected them to be) that pocketed the right amount of filling as it didn't make a big mess when taking a bite. The soft serve was just as good when Cindy handed it over, it was swirled pretty high and tall (not pictured as I immediately dug into that one). The ambiance of this place was friendly and moderate, I want to thank Cindy for making the rest of our night great with her service. I would recommend saving this spot for late night sweets!“

“I was looking for a local roaster in town , since I've recently purchase an espresso machine . Met Scott the owner , he was very informative about his products. Great customer service, and he even made me a shot espresso ! Will be coming back for more beans once I run out !“
“We love this boba place! Whenever we're in the Baldwin Park area, we make sure to stop and get out boba and drinks here.My go to drink is the Mango smoothie!!! I love how cold, nice and refreshing it is!!! The strawberry smoothie is my son's favorite and anything matcha are my girls favs!!! Boba Lair has seasonal drinks as well which we'll try just because it's what they're featuring.Everything here is yummy yummy yummy! Come try for yourself.“
“I got a gelato and a cappuccino, it was good, the service was pretty quick. They don't have the gelato's conventional flavors but they are good and pretty creamy. The place was full even though there were plenty of chairs and tables, mostly teenagers chilling and studying.“
“Relaxing walk around the park and enjoy lunch at the Peacock Cafe with friends or familyParking: Some days might be difficult but most of the days it is easy to get parking.Kid-friendliness: Children get to walk around the path or play around the lawn area.“
“One day Lollicup will reopen the customer table area. This company has great products, which is why they are one of the biggest suppliers for other milk tea businesses. It's not a surprise that Lollicup has a great consumer focused store/products.Excellent drinks, pudding, and boba.Great service.Clean interior.I wish they would open up the dine-in area again :(“
“In the running for one of the tastiest Latte’s I’ve ever had. Rarely am I completely satisfied with a $6 latte but this one was such a great experience. I ordered their Lavender Latte with Oat Milk and it was creamy and flavorful. It was super packed but the quality was not hindered. I’d come back in a heartbeat!Seating was an issue. It was crowded and I don’t think I’d get any work done in the coffee shop. Maybe a good place to chat with a friend and have a cup of coffee.“
“This is great place to come, the environment, the food and the costumer service is super. Elisa and Jose are very attentive to their customers . They walk you through the first time on how the product works and how it benefits you, it’s a great place to come . I highly recommend boom spot .“

“Crossroads is a nice little cafe with a great variety of sandwiches. My friends and I ordered sandwiches to-go and they were so yummy! I had the spicy chicken sandwich and loved it. It was a good spice level for me but may be a little bit spicy for some. Everyone else really enjoyed their sandwiches as well. Overall, it was a great meal and I will definitely be coming back to try more things in the future.“
“I had heard about this place from friends, so I decided to head down and check it out. I got caught in traffic so when I got there, the sign in the door said closed. However, one of the owners saw me staring forlornly at his window and opened the door to wave me in. I walked out with a huge bag of goodies. Everything I took home was fantastic! I'm now a regular customer. I definitely recommend Gio's for their food and for the friendly way they treat their customers!“
“Did not know this place existed. I've been to the driving range multiple times and this is the first time I see this place. Service is quick, food is good but the best thing is their beer prices! No better way to enjoy golfing than enjoy a nice cold draft beer with a view.“
“If you go super early, there's no one there yet. It's awesome it felt like I rented out the entire restaurant. The food is great, if you're a fan of eggs Benedict then you'll love the selection. Though if you're getting the fried chicken one that one does that longer to make. Each one is served with a salad so a nice balanced diet.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, just read carefullyDietary restrictions: Did not notice vegan options specifically but you can always go with potatoes and saladsParking: Depends on what time you go, just a little walk there if you're going in the structure. Street parking if you're having a lucky day“
“I have loved this restaurant right after it first opened, with the original owner. Since then it has changed hands and the new owner has kept up its quality remarkably. Great menu and not bad pricing. It’s a cute space in Old Town Monrovia.“
“Best comfort food in town. I love everything here. Small place but great food,service, pastries, music. You can never go wrong with chilaquiles with carne asada. Pan dulce is gooooood. Must try itVegetarian options: You always have the option to substituteKid-friendliness: They have high chairs and changing table in the restroomWheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp“
“Went here on a whim! Nice place, lots of seating, pleasant staff :) I got a vanilla lavender latte. The staff uses a la marzocco, would love to ask where they source their beans next time I go. The merchandise is nice, lot of coffee equipment“
