We loved everything we tried. Definitely one of those places you keep thinking about and want to come back to. They also host monthly events, which makes it feel more like a community spot than just a coffee shop. I plan to come for their Pilates & matcha!!

Most of the time, everything is great, but lately, I've noticed it can be a bit of a hit or miss--I either have a wonderful experience or a really tough one. Why I keep coming back: Their food is genuinely delicious. They have really good sandwiches and so many great options if you're hungry. Also, a little insider tip: if you're feeling under the weather and want something better than a Starbucks Medicine Ball, order the Remedy Tea. It is so soothing and I highly recommend it! My recent experience: On my last visit, things felt a bit off. The staff seemed really rushed--they actually started making our drinks while we were still in the middle of ordering. Because of the rush, they missed my milk modification and the drink ended up being way too sweet, to the point where I couldn't really drink it. What saddened me most was that the cashier was pretty rude and dismissive toward us. We actually felt so uncomfortable that we didn't even want to ask for a remake, so we just headed out. I truly love the menu here and the vibe when it's "on," but I really hope the service gets back to that friendly, welcoming energy I fell in love with.

I am a regular at this shop and usually love coming here; they have the most adorable decor and…read morefurniture. My recent experiences have been a bit disappointing. In February, I was helped by a newer gentleman at the register who didn't greet us and seemed very impatient while we looked at the seasonal menu. When we ordered a seasonal drink by name, he sighed and rudely turned the menu around to read it himself. He didn't ask about milk preferences and just seemed annoyed to be there. To make matters worse, the drinks that day were overly sweet with almost no coffee flavor. I have been back twice since then, but I find myself visiting less often to avoid that specific interaction. It is a shame because there is another worker there with curly hair who is the complete opposite. She is kind and always has great recommendations. I hope the service can get back to that standard consistently.

Stopped by Sanctuary hoping to get some work done, and while the vibe had some promise, the visit…read morefell a little short overall. The atmosphere is genuinely nice. Calm, relaxed, and easy to settle into. It's the kind of place where you could picture yourself staying for hours. That said, it was running a bit warmer than comfortable inside, which made it harder to fully unwind. My iced caramel latte came out looking and feeling more like a room-temperature drink than an iced one. It wasn't unpleasant, but when you order something iced on a warm day, you're expecting cold. The bigger issue for me was the Wi-Fi. I came specifically to work, and while the signal showed up fine and I had the correct password, I couldn't actually get connected. I tried on multiple devices and others were unable to connect as well. That essentially defeated the whole purpose of my visit. Sanctuary seems like it could be a solid spot, the aesthetic is there, but they'd benefit from dialing in the drinks and making sure the Wi-Fi is actually usable for remote workers (especially since they offer a meeting room, a little pricey per hour though at $40). Might give it another shot someday, but with lower expectations.

Now let's talk about the food. I ordered a large vanilla blended drink and oh my--it was perfect. I also tried their piña soda, which was super refreshing and reminded me a bit of Inca Cola. Of course, I couldn't resist a pastry. I went with the guava and cheese, toasted, and it was sweet, warm, and so yummy. Honestly, it reminded me of Porto's... but better. To finish it off, I ordered the club sandwich with fries. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, the bread was perfectly toasted, and the portion was big enough to share. I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu!

And the service is soo friendly. It's also super spacious and is so cute inside with natural lighting. But I'll be honest the boba drink was not so great. It was even to the point where I had to ask if they would be willing to make another drink (in which I would pay the difference). The barista was super friendly and made another drink for me. Warning: The organic coconut mango drink was just straight coconut milk and some mango puree. It was a tough one to drink. Luckily the barista blended that with some ice and more mango and that made the drink 10x better!

Their roast is phenomenal, the staff is personable and knowledgeable, and their most recent remodel made every corner picture-perfect.

Usually I go straight to the food reviews before ambience, atmosphere, staff and such etc., but my focus has reversed a bit starting with the atmosphere. The minute my family strolls in, we had this young lady totally stare down my family. I have not ever felt our presence would strike such an unwelcoming or unwanted tone from an establishment. The gentleman at the front counter was pleasant and made some conversation so my mood was put to ease slightly, but he was next to the mean girl and it was hard focusing on the order placement. Excuse the rant but that almost ruined my morning. We sat to try our lattes and it was astonishing to see smiles given to other patrons from a woman who nearly frowned the whole time we were there? This young lady was so rude to me and my children. I can only speculate and I'll keep what I feel off the grid for now. On to the positive stuff (2 stars) the lattes were very tasty. Unique flavor options, a few different types of food items to accompany the latte or teas. Our selection: ham and cheese croissant (mid), Courageous latte-Old Forester Bourbon, Brown Sugar, Organic Cream, Pink Salt- very good HOT. It's nice and clean inside. Iron & Kin, please remember, every paying customer should be welcomed into your establishment no matter what they look like. I mean, why did you start this business anyways? Wasn't it built on a dream for success, entrepreneurship, to serve the community?

My fiance and I each took a few bites of the different parts of the cake and immediately decided we would not be able to finish the rest, throwing it away. The rice krispy treat was mediocre and prepackaged. Also, the kiosk in the front of the store had the same items as the display for a significantly higher price.

Now the inside and tables are definitely outdated but I like how each table has an outlet and it's wide enough so you can just spread out and get some work done. The noise level isn't too loud either especially with some headphones on. Since it was a Sunday evening, I felt like it was pretty slow in the beginning but once evening hit a lot of people started coming in and a lot of people came in to sit and get work done. Most of the tables had people sitting on them with laptops out. What I liked about today is when it was slow, the cashier actually went out and wiped the tables and I felt like she did that periodically even when someone was grabbing an order to go. My friends also ordered popcorn chicken and fries and it just seems like a great snack to have while studying Wish there were more cafes like this! I ordered a peach black tea bc the cashier said black tea had the most caffeine. I requested half sweet and Crystal boba it was perfect! The galaxy drinks were really pretty and good too. I'll probably be back again!

It's not awful, but it tastes frugal. I arrived at Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) on Sunday (around 12:20PM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. My immediate impression of the location's interior is "abandoned warehouse." There's cardboard boxes lying about; the lights are dim & gloomy; and the furniture & walls looked old and poorly maintained. There were no customers, other than myself. Staff zipped out from the back when I'd entered. There's no self-service kiosks, so customers order at the counter. Staff is friendly and welcoming. After receiving my drink, Staff vanished into the back for the entire time. The drink took one minute and six seconds. Fast!! As mentioned, the Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (additional 79 cents) is not awful. It's big, cheap, and thirst-quenching. Although the boba lacked any perkiness, I did appreciate its very small sweetness. Concerning the ambiance, it felt sad. Chairs had mysterious black stains, dust & webs gripped the windows' corners, yellow & aged plants lazed about, and lights stayed dimly lit like a haunted house. However, there's utility. Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) has six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details on the plastic countertop. And there's a restroom for customers. In addition, the floors and tables are fairly clean. Overall, Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) feels like a forgotten relic of time. At the very minimum, it's an adequate establishment. If you're searching for affordability and a place to study/work, there's potential. 3.3 out of 5

Restroom: They're available to use. Location/Parking: Located in a decent size plaza on the SE corner of Gladstone and Lone Hill. There's a decent amount of parking for all. What's great about this location is that Costco is in the same plaza. Ambiance/Decor: Nice ambiance with modern furnishings. This location is bigger than the Whittier, but doesn't have a drive thru. Service: Service was good. Staffers were friendly and our drinks didn't take long to get made. Drink Of Choice: I got the americano. Liked the taste of the bean water.
