The pan is flavorless and gimicky. The champurado is a mix and not authentic, it is souless. They tout authenticity but there is nothing here to be enjoyed. Youre better off looking for a tamale lady in the morning at 5 am. The price is also insanely bad for the quality.

Had an exceptional experience coming here! Customer service was super friendly and helpful. The shop was very clean and tidy. Their displays were perfect and colorful! We ordered horchata lattes and a few pastries! Sooo delicious!!! This bakery and coffee shop is great! I’m so sad it’s so far from where I live but if I’m in the area, I would definitely be back!

Coffee and pastries are tasty. BUT the lids on the coffee cups are crap. They don't seal tightly, already spilled once in my new truck, and continue to come off picking up cup. Fix the lids !!

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. The food? Absolutely delicious full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and made with love. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or enjoying a full meal, La Monarcha never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re in the Whittier area!

I come to this place consistently every 6 months.And the quality has not improved.I am so discouraged how the overprice bread and coffee is continuously rising while the quality is diminishing.It is bakery reminds me of something you would pick up from walmart.

Girl at cashier who took my order today seemed like she hated her job LOL. And I told her I wanted to redeem my free concha and she never took it off and charged me for it, didn’t realize until after I got my receipt sent.

The best of the best... Delicioso!

If you are looking for some serenity or a mini vacation for 1-3 hours, this is the place for you! The pastries and food are excellent and artistic. The cakes are stunning and most importantly, delicious. The coffee is creative. The whole place is inviting from the art, the music, the plants, and the walking location in historic uptown. A little piece/peace of Mexico in our busy US world. The service is the best part. Everyone greeted at the door. Wilfredo made my day. It’s inspiring to see someone do their job well with a smile. No matter the job.

They ran out of toilet paper. A very human thing to do. Instead of pretending nothing is wrong, they put a paper towel roll within easy reach. The bathroom is well used and worn but smells pleasant and is well cared for. This is a rare find - businesses who share their bathrooms generously. It’s notable.

Come! Enjoy this treat. You will feel indulgent.
