50 Best Cafes near Glendale

“I want to leave a review about this place and these wonderful people. Friendly and polite guys. The woman working at the bar is very nice and polite. I was more surprised by how delicious the food was. True classic crispy fries and a delicious buffalo chicken panini. I will definitely come back and try something different.

P.S.
When I leave a review, I read all reviews left by visitors.
I would like to ask haters and fascists not to leave hateful reviews of a political nature. Not only are you destroying the business of working class, but you are also sowing hostility and dividing society for your own selfish ends. This happens not only in our country, but throughout the world. Society is tired of you. If you don't like their choice of president or party, don't go there. I have no problem visiting businesses of people of different political views and orientations; this allows me to live freely in this wonderful country. But toxic suprematists simply force me to write here what I never do. American society is simply tired of you.“

“Restaurant the truth is that they work super fast and the employees are very friendly this restaurant is usually always super full…

but super difficult to find parking. Because it is in a slightly inconvenient area, but there is enough parking in the stores behind it like HomeDepot and DICKs…

My husband and I always order the chicken noddles soup, Italian sandwich, Bacon mac and cheese with the apple and baguette bread and everything is super hot and fresh. ????“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.“

“Came here on a cold night after my friends wanted to play board games. My friend’s house was super far away but this place was great!

There were lots of selections and we decided to play Catan and exploding kittens. I have not tried a drink but I would next time. Workers were really nice too :)“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“I ate here on Friday (1/3) for lunch. I had the kangaroo skewers and fish sandwich and chips. The food was delicious. I never had kangaroo before. Kate, my amazing server, recommended it big time. I am so glad she did. The meat was the best thing I have ever tasted. The fish sandwich was incredible. The chips were so light and fluffy. I came back the next day (1/4) for dinner with my cousin and her Australian husband. He said the kangaroo skewers were the best he ever had in his life, even when he lived in Australia. Elina, our server that night, was awesome. We had delicious food and drinks in a fun and welcoming environment. The prices are great. Kate and Elina are amazing. I will definitely come back again and again. The prices are totally reasonable. The portions are huge. The food is impeccable. It is so nice to have a warm and friendly restaurant/bar/cafe in the area.“

“Yafa is such a gem. I’ve had the lamb haneef, the chicken sandwich and today, the BAT. Let me tell you. For such a simple sandwich, it was awesome. 10/10 hands down! The turkey used is flavorful and not the typical salty turkey bacon in the store. Paired it with the Hibiscus drink with rose. Don’t stop with the quality Yafa 👏🏽“

“I did brunch with my family and it was overall a good experience. First off, service was great! Yes, you do have to get your drinks, like in most cafes but they do serve you food and cutleries. My parents thought their coffee was not as hot as they would have expected. But the staff was courteous enough to instantly serve another fresh cup. We ordered shaphaley, momos, chips and guac (diff chips style, which I loved), french toast, Himalayan breakfast (this was great!) and regular brunch breakfast. Overall, everything tasted good. The french toast was okay hence taking a point off for food. Other than that, this cafe meets my needs for asian and western fusion brunch. Will def visit again ?.“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“David is an excellent waiter, he is very attentive and knowledgeable about the business and does a great job with the customers. Thank you very much David, and the food is super delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Very great with children“

“I was there for a meet and greet and loved staying a few extra minutes to pet the dogs in the cafe. Such a nice break in my day!“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“Buttermilk biscuits with honey butter are God’s greatest gift to the world. Seriously, they’re soooooooo good.

Vegetarian options: Heirloom tomato biscuit, pimento egg and cheese biscuit, and other biscuit sandwiches that can be easily made veggie.“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“Service is very friendly and prompt. Atmosphere is very airy and bright. They have a wide selection of great pastries, breakfast and light lunches.“

“Really great. Come hungry, leave happy.“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Cute vibey place, warm cozy atmosphere.. got the bacon egg and cheese double bacon double cheese and a maple donut cruller thang with a iced mocha.. only regret is not eating it there while it was hot and fresh… everything was what I wanted and needed.. so much delicious

Vegetarian options: They got salads and such“

“Matcha Cafe Maiko is my favorite spot for desserts! This spot is my go-to, especially when I'm craving matcha or hojicha flavors. The Maiko Special is always one of my favorites to order and share with a friend, but this month's specials were black sesame which I knew I had to try as well! I ordered the black sesame soft serve and my friend ordered the black sesame latte, and both were incredible! I'm a huge fan of black sesame flavored desserts, and these really hit the spot.

Also loved how the shop was decorated beautifully for Halloween! Amazing quality desserts, service, and vibes. I also appreciate how this location has a few benches outside, so when I visit with friends, we're able to sit together right outside the shop and enjoy our desserts. I've been here several times and will definitely will keep coming back!“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Jean Carlos, and he was outstanding! His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm demeanor made the experience memorable. Jean’s knowledge of drinks was impressive, and he customized recommendations based on our preferences. Whether mixing classic cocktails or creating something unique, his skills were top-notch. On top of that, his friendly and welcoming personality created a great atmosphere. Highly recommend Jean Carlos for anyone looking for exceptional service!“

“Excellent business and great contributor to the community.“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Stumbled upon this gem with some friends. To my delight, this place is fantastic.

I got the strawberry gelato and decaf cappuccino, though i tried my friends’ vanilla gelato and starberry milkshake. All were superb. I was not expecting such high quality.

I am an ice cream and milkshake enthusiast — and this would rate as one of the best.

The owner is also very sweet.

10/10!“

“We had a wonderful meal here. My girlfriend loves to eat healthy and they had several healthy options, as well as, diverse offering of food, cafe and even mimosas for me.

If you are at the Park Ave location, definitely ask for Mimi she provides excellent Customer Service. We highly recommend Tartinery!“

“I love Daily Provisions and order delivery from this location so often it's actually a little weird. Food is always good! I can't place an order from here without getting a cold brew and a blueberry muffin, the patty melt and tuna melt are so good, the chefy salad is perfect, and the breakfast sandwiches are great.

The only thing is that about 9/10 times I order, they do not include a straw for my iced coffee or a hot sauce for my breakfast sandwich. Tbh, they probably only send the hot sauce once out of every 20 orders (I really order from here a disturbing amount).

Whatever, the heart wants what the heart wants. But PLEASE start sending straws!! And maybe let me order a cruller online? :)“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“As a Fil-Am I can say this with a full heart that I absolutely adore the food here. I was brought by other Fil-Ams, and it did not disappoint! The ordering process was quick and easy with their several self ordering terminals, and every time I've come, their food is served fresh and hot! Although I leaned more toward their Filo dishes rather than Japanese options, I believe almost anything here will satisfy that umami craving. Mabuhay!“

“It’s my fav neighborhood spot, and some of the best Mexican food I’ve found in NY/BK. Staff are really nice, drinks are great, and the new meat tacos are rad.

Vegetarian options: They recently added meat the the menu but it has an extensive vegetarian and they use corn flour tortillas“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“What a gem. We will be back soon for a proper meal but this is already our new favorite spot. We were greeted by the owners and got to sit out front at one of the little tables in the sun. But I have no doubt we will be as comfortable and happy inside when it gets colder, as it is really homey and pretty, thank you for a great breakfast, we will be back!“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“The food is absolutely fabulous. It is presented beautifully. We were going to go to the place next door, but due to the wait there, we ended up at Good Thanks. Such a delightful mistake. So much so that we came down again all the way from East Harlem to come back once more before the end of our trip. This is a must visit.“

“super sweet staff and great lattes! while I hung out to do work, I noticed everyone behind the counter was friendly and chatted with literally everyone who came in. great vibes, comfy seating for hanging for a bit. would love to gatekeep this place to keep it chill and quiet, but they deserve the review more! highly recommend ♥️“

“Amazing and skilled barista here!! Bc they also use La colombe coffee bean which is not that special but to still make the latte and cold brew so impactful with that bean is impressive

Come here for their beautiful latte art too!“

“Was bummed they didn’t have their honey cinnamon latte so I opted to get their mandarin latte instead which was amazing! Service was a bit slow as it was quite busy on a Thursday morning. Would definitely recommend trying their specialty drinks!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Chai Wala has great service and a very cute space. They have a great choice of music and the employees are very attentive. I took a family member for the first time and the person behind the counter made her a custom brown sugar milk tea with oreo that she LOVED.

Would definitely come back.“

“AMAZING PLACE!!! I’m vegan and although they don’t have vegan items on the menu they gave me a list of options I could eat! I got a Fava bean burrito with Egyptian salad, tahina, salsa verde, and their muffaletta mix(sun dried tomatoes and olives)! The flavors were super yummy and unique. The owner as well as the employees were all super sweet and quick to help me with options. If you’re a vegan in the area I’d totally check this place out!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options“

“Came here 2 times. First time I ordered a latte and it was a 15 minutes wait. The latte tasted okay. The second time I ordered the light Cuban panini. The panini tasted very good. Didn’t need to wait long due to calling ahead 15 minutes. I wished they gave an extra packet of hot sauce. Overall, highly recommend the food!“

“enjoyed my Sunday morning with relishing brunch!“

“Its a good place to go with your family and enjoy the food and the cool environment.good job!“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“Came in for after dinner SWEET GOODNESS and boy, were they ON POINT! Waffle N Sip did not dissappoint. And I had the advantage of watching the staff make the strawberry waffle and I was so delighted! Such dedication and effort you can SEE AND TASTE. We'll definitely be back!“

“Well filled sandwiches and very good for a lunch break then a stroll along the Hudson River.

If we had to quibble, a few points however:
- It's quite expensive for toast/drinks.
- The queue can be quite long and the waiting too
- The dining room is shared by several restaurants (because it is in a shopping center) and therefore quite noisy.“

“My 11-year-old absolutely loves cats, so when my husband and I were planning her first trip to New York City, we added Meow Parlour to our must-do list, and I’m so glad we did! The folks who work there were so warm and welcoming. They have clear and easy rules to follow when it comes to interacting with the cats, and they gave my child helpful tips on which cat likes certain times of play or pets. My kiddo loved the photo bios of each cat on the wall and identifying each cat by name. I highly recommend this fun and relaxing outing!“
