“Tried this spot in early Dec and loved the prices, indoor and outdoor seating options, and the generous and friendly staff. Glad I finally tried it! I got the pesto sandwich (most popular item) with the side of fruit and for ~$10 it was a good deal.“
“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“
“Stopped in for the first time this morning. I ordered The Oslo breakfast sandwich on sourdough (rather than the everything bagel ) and I must say that it was amazing! The flavors, the textures. All the ingredients are fresh. There is so much detail in this sandwich. I happened to be in the area for work but I would drive across town for this sandwich! Staff was very friendly.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my seed allergy by replacing the everything bagel with sourdough bread. Highly recommend ordering it this way!“
“The location of this Starbucks is great. The atmosphere and people are what really counts here. If you are a coffee connoisseur, then skip. None of their coffees are good. They are either too bitter or acidic or over roasted. If you like their other engineered drinks with sweetners and flavors, then it's a good place to get a sweet fix. The portions in general keep getting smaller and smaller.“
“Came here to try their Pan de Elote and their Chocolate Cake. The Pan de Elote was amazing - specially topped with ice cream! The Chocolate Cake was too dense and sweet for my liking but definitely coming back for their Pan de Elote! They have their own lot so parking was easy for us.“
“Such a cute spot for coffee and lunch. They have good sandwiches, croissant, and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seatings available.I ordered:1. Matcha latte with oatmilk2. Chicken pesto sandwich3. El doe sotelo - egg whites, roasted and fresh tomatoes, fresh cilantro, avocado and olive oil. Black beans on the side. This is arepas for breakfast with the choice of scramble eggPaid street parking is available for this Pasadena downtown area.“
“Lots of food/drink/dessert choices in the buildingVegetarian options: The restaurants have some decent vegetarian choicesParking: Parking lot behind buildingKid-friendliness: They will totally want to try all the dessert and drinksWheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair elevator near front entrance“
“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.“

“BABY! I do NOT play about coffee, living in seattle made me a whole coffee connoisseur and this place is spot on. I love when I can taste the flavors and still taste the COFFEE cus I don’t drink coffee for sugar I want to taste that espresso. On top of it the staff is so friendly I was literally going to a place for 6 months every other day and they didn’t bother to learn my drink or name like what? I will be back and I will bring my friends!!! So many options I am excited about!“
“Visiting from out of town and was so happy to try this entirely gluten free gem! The staff was so friendly, we had breakfast biscuits, donuts, coffee and more. Everything was so good. I also got a caramel bread pudding to go and it was amazing. Like another reviewer said, thank you for existing!!“
“I passed by this spot everyday for work and checked it out.I had their shakerato and it was delicious, I asked them to make it less sweet and it was perfect. A solid morning drink to get you started for the day.I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items.“
“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.“
“I love the coffee here but unfortunately don't go very much as they no longer have wifi. As someone who works remotely, wifi is essential for me. I really hope they bring back the wifi so that this can be my go-to spot for coffee and work.“
“Was craving fruit tea after the 626 market and found this spot on the map!I tried the house fruit tea with lychee jelly and no sugar and my boyfriend got a mango latte with boba and 50% sweetness. Both were honestly so good!! The mango latte was creamy and sweet and my house fruit was such a nice blend of fruit - it had pieces of strawberries, passion fruit seeds, and slices of lemon and lime. It's cute and cozy in here and there are some good restaurants in this shopping center. And the staff are friendly and helpful right when you walk in. They also do a weekly raffle for boba plushies!“
“a nice, refreshing place to get your ice tea fix! chun yang is located in a small plaza with a parking lot. i came on a thursday afternoon and there weren't many spots available. there is street parking nearby if you can't get a spot in the plaza. i got the honey osmanthus oolong tea, their #1 popular drink. i appreciated the server, who was very knowledgeable about the drinks and their sweetness levels. i got my drink at 50% sweetness, and it was still super sweet, so 25% is probably best if you don't like your drink tasting like sugar syrup. the tea, however, was the best part since it was strong and refreshing! this is a small shop, so don't expect any tables to hang out in here. there is a bench to sit and wait for your order, but that's all for seating. there is a public restroom for customers. overall, great place for a refreshing and strong tea drink. the quality of the tea was great, and it is perfect for a hot day.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!!“
“East LA has been gradually building up its go to spots for coffee. Don't be fooled into the usual corporate SB -- no. If you need a boost, Mugs delivers. With great customer care, and a varied menu of drinks; how did they get a champurrado latte to work? They did and it's amazing. I always try a latte as a measure of an establishment's ability to prep a clean drink; Mugs has a great machine that delivers the taste and froth. I'm done with the others and filling mine at MUGS :)“
“This is an amazing coffee shop. Their coffee is amazing the pastries are as well I usually get Spanish iced latte with the almond croissant. Also and iced Coquito con crema is another favorite and an iced Abuelita latte highly recommend . Their customer service is wonderful . We usually do drive-through, but there’s times where it’s nice to get off and enjoy it there. Such a great spot for a caffeine pick me up ?“
“I've been a Banh Mi My Tho customer for like a decade now. Its been cool seeing them expand besides the Alhambra location. I came here for a quick meal and ordered a few bahn mi. About 5 minutes later, my order was ready and it was as delicious as always.“
“I went into this cafe thinking it was exclusively bakery and espresso not knowing that it's literally a full on restaurant brunch spot!!! I will definitely be returning to try some food menu items but the lattes I ordered were more than just a glimpse into what the staff at highly likely are capable of!!! Veryyyy aesthetically pleasing! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating!“
“This place is such a hole in a wall, and would definitely come back. I was here literally last week and been thinking about coming back all week this week!The place is like everyone said, half grocery (international market, mostly indian goods), and half restaurant. I mean hey some people can make a business model after it, full respect.The quality of their food doesn't decrease just because its half and half, in fact, this place have the best indian food I have had thus far! There is bollywood music video playing on the TV, you are served with kindness by the staff there, and also attentativeness.The staff are great at recommending things, but they are also great salesmen - as in they would point at things asking if you want to order - lol.I ordered the garlic cheese naan, which was delicious. The tikki masala lambm which melted in my mouth. The rice was okay, but I haven't been too enthused about rice as of late, so it might just be a personal preference thing.Their mango lassi is okay, but food was really great! The parking lot is huge, free parking and shared with the other stores in the plaza.I would come back! Bring your wallet as its not the cheapest, but also bring your appetite.“
“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.“
“Best Cream cheese foam I've ever had! As a coffee drinker, I always look for boba cafes that has coffee milk tea, but they have a genuine coffee what is so good to me. Also, their teas are specially and freshly brewed anytime, that aroma soothes me when I come across their making teas.Customer service is excellent too, and you'll never fail to take picture of your drink with their seasonal decorations. Inside is always clean and restroom is accessible easily too. :)“
“Cute cafe/boba shop in Old Town Pasadena! I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba. They have all the different levels of customization, like ice and sugar levels, milk options, and toppings. My drink hit the spot and the boba was cooked perfectly to qq texture. Lots of seating, too:“
“Got their ube latte with oat milk and an einspanner. Both drinks are solid - can taste the distinct flavors of each drink without the drinks being too sweet. The parking lot is tiny though (no parking at noon on a weekday) and the coffee shop itself was really stuffy and hot when I went (it was 80 degrees outside and it felt cooler outside). Service was quick - in and out in a few minutes!“
“Best glazed donuts I've ever had, period. My wife agrees. The owner said she's been there for years, but we never bothered to go until last year. Now, we're hooked. We live about a mile and a half away and so we walk to the store for exercise, then treat ourselves for being good :-)“
“Shout out to the guy who delivered my drink to my car! It was super packed so I decided to wait for my drink in the car. When my drink was finished one of the workers came to my car to hand me my drink. I thought that was super nice and he went above and beyond. Also the cups are super adorable!“
“Donuts are and come with a beautiful story. Johnathon, the owner and baker, works super hard to deliver a quality product and you can taste it! The apple fritter, cinnamon crunch, and glazed old fashioned were our faves but they were all delicious! For walk up they take cash, but if you preorder, you can Zelle and pickup which is super convenient. The letter donuts are super creative and made in whatever delicious flavors you prefer. It's a small place but has a ton of heart and donuts are delicious!“
“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!“
“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 tried the My Sweet Heart and Jasmine Blossom. I love that they crafted speciality drinks that alrdy include toppings. The my sweet heart is milk tea mixed with rose. They actually use rose petals and probably a bit syrup because the drink has a hint of pink coloring. The boba is the perfect chewy texture and the sweetness level was good too. The jasmine blossom was refreshing and I love the mix of fruitiness with the aloe Vera. They have a self order machine but there is someone that can also take your order if you want to pay cash. I came mid day on a Friday and they only had one person on staff so if you don't use the self order, it can be a bit of a wait. The tea shop is cute and has a lot of seatings. The aesthetics of the shop is very cute and ig worthy haha.“
“Visited Cafe Jane on a Tuesday around noonish. There was ample seating available and the wait time for our food to come out was very minimal. The americano was deliciously bold and my mom was delighted by their mocha. We shared two entrees: the breakfast sandwich and the orange french toast. The breakfast sandwich had really fluffy soft scrambled eggs and the brioche was a nice bite. The French toast was OuT oF tHIs WoRLd! - loads of citrus and balanced with the subtle sweetness of fried bananas. Will be back to try their rice bowls. Overall score: ?/?.“
“Craving a unique boba experience? Bengong's Tea offers a refreshing twist with high-quality ingredients, innovative flavors, and zero additives. Their Milk Teas are creamy perfection, while Fruit Teas burst with real flavor. Every sip is a delicious surprise! They prioritize presentation too, making each drink an Instagram-worthy masterpiece. The friendly staff is happy to guide you through their menu. Whether you're a boba pro or a curious newbie, Bengong's Tea is a must-try!“
“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 ...“
“i love the sweet potato fries here, they have a little sugar coating on top :] its a pretty nice place to have some snacks and hang out with friends :]Kid-friendliness: there’s like 2 board games here? and a small seating area for kids (pictures taken)“
“A great crepe place in Temple City. They not only have dessert crepes but also have savory crepes with lots of meat and seafood available as well. Ordering is easy and there are an insane variety of toppings and add-ons available. I tried their Tuna, added bacon and other veggies. Glad I ordered it to go because once you start eating it, it gets sloppy good. I will be going back again“
“I'M GONNA KEEP EATING CAKE, UNTIL I CANT FIT IN MY COWGIRL BOOTS!!!Good Lord, I can't believe I've never heard of this bakery!!!My husbands family was having a small 83rd birthday party for his uncle. His aunt showed up with a couple of boxes filled with 12 slices of various sins (see photos)!!! They were delicious! I was feeling guilty for giving in and partaking in consumption of one of these sins (Blue & Black Berry Cake). It was worth EVERY CALORIE!! As a matter of fact, I believe eating this slice is giving my family and friends a gift, by giving them more of me to love! Also if the saying "You are what you eat" is true, then I'm becoming pure sweetness! YOU'RE WELCOME, FAMILY AND FRIENDS!Can’t wait to visit the Chino Hills Location! It’s near my office!!!“
“Such a cute place and the food is fresh!I ordered an item that was tasty, but I didn’t care for it. I took it back and they were so nice about it!!! AND I looked at other peoples orders and that all looked very good — fresh vegetables, vegan offerings, etc.“
“Food smells amazingFresh food I have never had something here that delicious my favorite its Boba drinks doesn't teast like powder which I love and the sandwiches are of the chain try them allMy kiddos love the donuts ? the ones with decorations I definitely bring my friends and family they come to visit“
“They are really nice here. The young female cashier is very precise and the food is made with love and skill. Plus the hot chili crisp oil they sell is sooo good. The Batch X will make you cry and I love it. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu!“
“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“
“First time here it was really good I will definitely be back!I had the Benito Box Teriyaki BeefIt took a little bit to get my order, but they were busy at lunch ? The Benito Box was enough for my lunch and dinnerParking: Lots of parking in lot“
“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“
“Went to a cute little gem in LA for coffee. Didn’t see any parking lots but got lucky and found parking on the street. Inside, there was an area where they sold local artist’s art and gems. There was also a courtyard where you can sit and enjoy their coffee. I got a lavender honey latte and it was good but it was a little too sweet for my taste. (I forgot to take a picture)“
“If you don't know the area it might be hard to find. Due to being in a small alley. I liked vibe. Great place to chill with a friend . They have lots of board game. I took away one star due to not making any more drip coffee . In the evening after running out. I only drink black coffee.. so I did not know what to order. The lady was very patient and friendly. Explaining to me different coffee.. but since I don't like sugary and cream she told me about Americano.. had a great bold flavor.. fully enjoyed it I will be back“
“Stopped by the Brew House this Saturday morning. I'm trying to hold onto the holiday flavors everywhere, so I went with their S'mores Blend. The worker was friendly, explained what it was and offered to add coffee to the drink; which I agreed to. It's a smaller spot, but clean and spacious. S'mores flavor was on point, but I wish I had more coffee, maybe an espresso shot. Definitely plan on making a second visit to trying more on the menu.“
“Good iced latte with friendly service. There was a decent amount of seating inside, with a nice high ceiling. There was a lot of outdoor seating at the back, under a canopy for shade. Also somehow one of the few coffee shops with a restroom.“
“I have enjoyed Emmi's twice now for breakfast and lunch. Miy breakfast experience was excellent and I wanted to try lunch. My favorite burger is from In-N-Out. If you do like them you really must try Emmi's Smash Burger. Two thin patties, so the edges are crispy, and their special sauce on an excellent bun. Try not to go when it is busy as it slows done their service. Their staff is great, friendly, and attentive. While I miss the den ambiance of Bean Town, this is a bright, no-nonsense open dining space. I will be going back.“
