La Monarca Bakery & Cafe

To be fair it's a 3.45...the breads were good, the coffee was good, the tres leches was great....BUT!!!!! There's no way in the world to justify charging $8.75 for these glorified microwave burritos. I find it very insulting that they would have the audacity to charge that much for something between a Jose Ole or El Monterrey Burrito...I'm sorry big pass on the burritos...other than that it's a satisfactory visit

This is one of my favorite La Monarca Bakery locations, their café de olla is top-tier. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and they often offer samples

One of favorite spots in South Pasadena. We love the food, the coffee and the way we are treated by Brenda, Sonia and everyone.Very friendly

Love this place! Always great drinks and pastries. Erica and Cynthia are wonderful!

Way over price their conchas are not even good compared to authentic Mexican bakery. The other breads are dry. Customer service is horrible

I've been to a couple of La
Monarcha Bakerys, but this location has provided one of the best customer service. A special thanks to Brenda, Sonia and Lupita for making the best cafe del carmen I've ever had. 😀

Sonia, Lupita and Brenda are the best!!!! They are always very welcoming and provide great service!!!

It’s always a pleasure here, always great service and amazing drinks and pastries. This is one of my favorite study spots

Purchased a Rosca from SP monarca today.. It was the best i have ever tasted!

As a tenant living above here, it’s clear their employees simply don’t care about their responsibilities as a neighbor in south pas.

Every week, we wake up to loud music shaking our walls between 2 - 6am. Then the opening shifts will play music very loudly after 6am…. On average, we get maybe 3-4 hours of sleep while trying to maintain our daily and working lives.

Spoken to various employees, managers, and even get the cops to tell them to respect quiet hours, and we haven’t seen much long lasting change.

It’s a real shame, we love our community in south pas, but this disruption from this business is starting to take a toll on our daily lives. Hope they care enough to make changes soon.

was really excited to try the flan from this place, but unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. The flan wasn't sweet at all, which made it hard to enjoy. On top of that, there was no syrup at the bottom, which is a big part of what makes flan so delicious. It was dry and lacked the rich, creamy texture that I was expecting. Overall, it didn't come close to what I hoped for, and I won't be ordering it again. For $38, I could've had a much better dessert, or even a full meal somewhere else. Definitely never again.

The conscious and Café de Olla were delicious. After finishing my coffee and sweets, I walked across the street to see the Michael Myers historic home from Halloween.

Be sure to ask for Cinnamon powder with your seasoned Champurrado, it’s super delish!
