The Guatemalan is ok, you can pretty much find Guatemalan coffee anywhere in the Valley though. I haven't tried the sugary coffee drinks yet or the pastries, but I will have to at some point. The inside is cozy, good for grab -n-go. I'm sure once they get to expand to a bigger space, they will make it suitable for work or study. Service is great, smiles all around. Oh, and it's right next to Hansen Dam.

Inicio Coffee review: Parking is small and limited, but due…read moreto most people coming and going, a spot opens up somewhat quickly. Wait times when things got a bit busy, grew longer. I came when it was not busy and got my drink in under two minutes. However, the person sitting next to me (with the cutest doggie! They're dog friendly, I think ) waited longer than 10 minutes for her drink. However, this was during a rush and when it was probably the busiest in the morning (?) AMBIANCE AND ENVIRONMENT: The music volume was pretty good. It was low level when the place got busy due to people chatting, machines, ice scooping etc., but when it wasn't so busy, the level was about medium due to the atmosphere being more quiet. The vibes were Mumford and sons, Oasis, Of Monsters and Men, the Head and the Heart, and some classical sprinkled here and there. It is smaller than a chain, but cozy with quite a few seats and table options. I think they did a great job at making the best of the space. The space also encourages community as half of the seating options are shared/shareable. All within an arms reach, which in my personal opinion, is plenty of space. Because of this, it encourages you to acknowledge your fellow human being sitting across, or beside you. The environment was clean, bright, and comfortable. The environment feedback I woukd give is perhaps a stronger sun shade in the windows that the bar and stools face. I first sat here but within minutes decide to move because the heat was a bit too much for me. Again! A personal preference. Coffee shops can also naturally get warm due to the energy being used for the machines and refrigerators, so something to consider. The air-conditioning kicked in a little later which helped make it more comfortable. Another thing I noticed is the outlet near the corner table and lounge chairs has a an outlet extender plugged into the wall outlet, but the wall outlet is extremely loose with no faceplate. This can cause electric shock, wiring damage and possible fires. I know from personal experience. It's a real easy and cheap fix that I highlyyy recommend they do ASAP. Just trying to be helpful because I really, really like this spot. FOOD AND DRINKS: I ordered a Hibiscus Berry Blend, as is, iced. It was $5.00 even. It is served in a14 Oz. cup. With ice, it's probably about 12-13 Oz. of drink you're getting. I think it was worth it. The flavor was equal and very nice. Not too fruity, not too watery. It wasn't sweet, due to me not asking for any additional sweetener. As I sat and worked, I heard a lot of other orders and some were very creative. So they do have all those fun drinks people love to indulge in occasionally. They also have classic drip coffee and loose leaf tea. THE REASON WHY I TRIED INICIO: The biggest thing I noticed, being an activist myself involved in many efforts for social justice through my work and personal life, was their mission to erase modern day slavery. Human trafficking is a horrible thing that unfortunately is haooening right before out very eyes. They donate a portion of all food, drink, and catering sales to Justice 180. That is honestly, the reason why I came. I would love to partner with them and invite them to come cater at my center. I plan to spread the word about this place and continue to support them.

Their coffee based ice makes the drink feel so classy and keeps the flavor going as they melt also. I'd say the top drink for me would be their Horchata Latte which is their signature drink and it gives a great nutty warm flavor. They are very intentional about the coffee making process, the ingredients they use and their mission. It's really neat speaking with them about how they got to where they are today. Their outdoor space is quite calming and cozy and has neat wooden elements around. Customer service is top notch, as well. You always feel like their favorite customer. I'm literally obsessed with their drinks and frequent their space at least once a week. If you haven't gone by go do so. You definitely won't regret it!

It's a cute stand. It unfortunately smells like poop or manure somewhere nearby? Made me think of dog poop. But they cleverly put some coffee grounds on the ground surrounding the stand to stave off outside smells. I got the españa. Not a fan, but I also drank it wrong. At first I thought it needed more condensed milk but idiot me just didn't mix my cold drink enough and the condensed milk stayed at the bottom. Other than that, I think it has too much milk and needed more coffee for a more rich blend. I also got the brownie. I forgot how much it was but it was less than $3. Which is amazing. Other places cost like $4.50 or 5 and it's too much. This price is not only amazing but I really enjoyed the brownie. Slight crispiness on the outside. Not too sweet. Would come back just for the brownies . Anyway, this is a small business run by young adults. It's good to help them out.

The staff here is always polite, helpful. Ambiance is unique as the coffee is made in a train car. But wow, they really care about the menu and the flavor and quality of their drinks. I love supporting Christian businesses, seeing Isaiah 41:10 (10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.) was such a great reminder. If you need a reminder, God is for you! Thanks San Fernando Coffee for having such a great business I just love seeing your new locations pop up as you expand.

I always wanted to keep giving them a chance because it's not like we have a lot of similar options locally, but this was the last straw for me. The quality doesn't even come close to justifying the price. I could get teenagers to whip me up any crazy drink within minutes at Starbucks, but the simplest order here requires that I've got nothing else going on in my day. And don't get me started on ordering food here. Let's just say last time it was a similar story but no coffee, just a lemon square... that was already made. Also, one of their young male employees seemed to be on break and used the female restroom when the male restroom was free. Just a little strange there. Cute ambience and I like the paintings from local artists they have up, but it isn't a place I'd recommend to anyone. The workers are mostly smiles and friendly demeanors, I just wish they'd be more efficient and thoughtful.

Our usual spot is in Monrovia and we love it there but we are not locals anymore since we moved out in this area we are looking for hidden gems. I was really hoping this would be it since our favorite spot has the same vibe and menu. We walked in and it was super busy that's normal now a days you squally wait 15-20 minutes. We waited patiently and eventually got sat down. I kid you not we didn't get our orders taken after 30 mins. We are Hispanic family and just the feeling of being not taken care of because of our background sucks. The waitress had mentioned to me that she was going to come by and take our orders she served us coffee but that's literally it. Then two big white families came in after us and got seated right away and got their orders taken all within that time span. It's upsetting to see that being done right in front of your face. It's a slap in the face. I tried keeping my composure but I eventually told the waitress that why weren't we being taken care of!?! And why were the other families taken care of before us when we were here first? WTF!!! Anyways she apologized and I think her apology was genuine. I will give her the benefit of the doubt. Anyways food is not worth coming here. I make better breakfast at home respectfully. Just don't come if you're Hispanic bc you will feel bad.
