Their roast is phenomenal, the staff is personable and knowledgeable, and their most recent remodel made every corner picture-perfect. I would highly recommend any of the specialty lattes, as they are well-thought out and are full of flavor. The wait is usually around 40 minutes from the packing house doors (a typical weekend line), but I have never regretted the wait, as the coffee is genuinely delicious.

Easter Sunday today- we got up early to grab a coffee and croissant. We Yelped local places to see…read morewhat was open early today. 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?

Came in to get some work done and Lucky's delivered on every front…read more The barista was welcoming the moment I walked in, which set a great tone right away. I ordered an iced matcha latte and she asked if I wanted it sweet or unsweetened, and whether whole milk was okay. Little things like that go a long way. The drink came out fantastic, cold, and made with a solid level of care. Seating is not an issue here either. Plenty of options inside and outside depending on your mood. Wi-Fi works great, and when I asked about the password she let me know it was posted on each end of the bar, easy. They also have a seasonal menu with some things worth trying. Already have my eye on something for my next visit, because yeah, I'm definitely coming back. If you need a spot to work, relax, or just grab a good drink, Lucky's is the move.

I finally got a chance to stop by here today, not only to try their spring menu Matcha latte with…read morerose petals on top, but also to sit and enjoy the mellow music in one of their comfy chairs as I read a book. It felt luxurious. I like the natural lighting from the windows, the various options for seating, at tables or in comfy lower chairs (which I chose this time, a sofa chair that swivels.). I like the green painted walls and the rabbit motif, really leaning into the Lucky theme and why not? We all need a little sometimes. Super nice staff. I signed up with my phone number and they gave me my drink for half off because my birthday was two weeks ago. So kind! Definitely didn't have to do that but I appreciated it! My iced matcha latte at 50% sweetness was delightful. Not only pretty to look at, but tasty to the last drop, sweeter towards the end because I didn't mix it, it was too pretty to mess with. ;). I'll definitely be back! Now I have 3 favorite local cafes for different occasions, this one in Claremont, and two in Pomona. Highly recommend!

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.

I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (additional 79 cents). It tastes like sugary…read morecereal milk. And the boba had an unusual, puffy marshmallow texture. 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

It is my first time ordering here, and I had questions about the milk, sugar level of the drink. The cashier was unfriendly while taking my order. When I saw that there was an unknown extra 83 cents charge on my order and asked about it, the two workers side eyed each other in front of me while looking annoyed. It made me feel awful, so I just ended up paying extra for the drinks. Once I got my drinks, I was met with a stare when I said thank you. After leaving the cafe, I realized that my drinks were made with more than half with ice (photo attached below). For the amount of drink I received, the extra charge on my drinks, and the attitude of the workers, I am extremely disappointed with my experience here at The Spot Cafe.
