Brown Sugar Fresh Milk
Thomas K.

Nice clean restaurant. Delicious boba drink. Quick service. A bit average among boba shops in the greater LA area (the are great choices in SGV and downtown). In the La Canada area, this is definitely one of the better local options and worth going to

I got a Thai milk tea this time! Very yummy! You usually can tell if the milk tea place is good if their "basic" flavors are good! I am here right now on a Friday afternoon. It's almost 4 pm and it's pretty packed. Lots of people. You can still find parking easily and the service is still fast and friendly!!

Taro Milk Tea with tapioca balls
Nakia D.

I wanted a Boba drink and this place popped up and I figured I'd give it a try. When I came inside, i was stuck between getting a brown sugar milk tea or taro milk tea. I ended up asking the woman who took my order and she told me to order taro. It was really yummy. I ordered 75% sweet and it was a really yummy drink. She told me that they make their brown sugar from scratch so next time i will try the brown sugar milk tea!!!

A is for Alto Boba but also for A+! Mitsu-Garu with Oatmilk, boba and coffee jelly! Sooo good!
Therese G.

Alto boba makes THE BEST Mitsu-Garu I have ever had. I ordered it half sweet--10 g of sugar not counting the boba or coffee jelly or oatmilk. It is high quality, delicious grains. The young lady who served me was gracious and knowledgeable. This may be my regular spot because nothing compares to Alto Boba!

Jasmine Milk Tea
Nicole M.

Jasmine green milk tea boba is perfect amount of milk and sweetness. And boba is soft chewy and delicious

Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea Strawberry Banana W/ Nutella Bubble Waffle
Brianna A.

such a cute & tiny boba shop. i got myself the iced strawberry matcha milk tea + their strawberry banana nutella drizzle bubble waffle. the strawberry matcha was milky & creamy. the matcha was nicely mixed, not powdery at all. i would suggest a little more strawberry in the milk to give it that little kick but that's just my preference. their bubble waffle with the fruit, nutella, & whipped cream was really good. the fruits was nicely fresh. the texture of the bubble waffle was crunchy on the outside when taking that first bite then gets soft in the inside. it was soo yummmmy! - the service was quick and efficient. - indoor & outdoor seating. - convenient parking located inside the plaza.

Acai Bowl

I tried the acai bowl, and it was delicious with lots of fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. The portion was generous and very satisfying. Would definitely get it again!

Wonderful experience here. Service was excellent, drinks tasted splendid, and the white female worker who made the drinks helped me out and was very sweet. The inside of the shop is also really well decorated and well lit.

Jasmine milk tea with boba
Cydney M.

THE BUBBLE TEA IS REALLY GOOD ============================ I haven't had milk tea with boba in several months, but decided to try Alto Boba while my husband was getting ice cream at Handel's next door. The jasmine milk tea with boba and 25% sweetness was delicious. Next time I will order the drink without sweetener though. It really isn't needed in my opinion with the boba. The boba had the perfect consistency and flavor too. I'm no boba expert, but if I don't like the boba I most likely would not return. The woman who helped me was very nice as well. I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to taking my son and daughter-in-law there in a couple months.

Best burgers Fish tacos'…read moreMexcican Seafood & try the chicken & waffles NO other diner serves this in area Must have time Only did Take Out

(Dined 04/11/2026 SA @ 9:00am, 03/23/2024 SA @ 1:00pm, and many times before): How now... black…read morecow!? The Black Cow Cafe has been part of my life since my college years, so when I came here now, it was always filled with nostalgia and a slowed pace over a calming meal. Opened in 1994 by a father and son, they embodied the community's "Main Street USA" vibe with a neighborhood diner where everyone knew each other, and you were served a soothing homemade meal during breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Did this cafe leave me with warm memories of the past, or did I cower from time's inevitable changes!? PURCHASE(S) Green Milan 16floz Drink ($7.95): My body needed something "green" and this sounded interesting. I thought it would be one of those health smoothies back in the 80s, but instead a frothy hazy light drink with a light grassy aroma and a middling leafy flavor. I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't order it again. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=Uo_FrA9ezkxhIn4VnwEVtQ Vegetarian Omelette w/Country Potatoes & Sourdough Toast ($18.95): Made with avocado, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, Ortega chiles, pico de gallo, salsa ranchera, spinach, and topped with sour cream, an omelette was also on my eating bingo card. This smallish portion on the healthier side was packed with fresh goodness and fluffy eggs. The country potatoes were plentiful, nicely seasoned, but lacked the outer crisp I liked. The large sourdough toast with creamy butter and preserves rounded out the meal well. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=vDf51dNgOCoyIaPX_AOvrw Fish & Chips w/Coleslaw & Muffin ($17.95): Made with tempura fried Icelandic cod served with jalapeno tartar sauce, and Hawaiian coleslaw, the three fish pieces were crunchy, hot, and thick but needed more seasoning so the tarter sauce came in handy (no vinegar!). The coleslaw lacked much flavor and moisture, and the muffin was moist and warm. This one could've been better. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=dsLbeFauDvvnvXiA6IZhBA [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Substitute Onion Rings ($3.95): I replaced the french fries with these, a good side portion with many rings of different sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. Although they were somewhat oily, they were good, and dipping sauce wasn't needed. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=hBUiwmcGa-pKcL8pRPQipg German Chocolate Cake Slice ($5.95): Solid, thick, and a rich chocolatey flavor, the coconut maple frosting was outstanding! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=WracW1NRal1uz_2MeLeqlw Peach Cobbler Pie Slice ($5.95) + Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ($1.25): A flat-looking thing with a ton of fresh peaches that bursted with cinnamon and spices, but the crust was lifeless. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=iBVwJ4BeHE_DcX1FHAP7qA SERVICE We were greeted by friendly young hosts, seated immediately, given menus, and shortly afterwards our orders were placed. Everything arrived within ten minutes, and we were checked on periodically. All was good - thank you! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I found a spot in the large public lot directly above the restaurant off of Florencita Dr. Otherwise, there were metered spots along the main drag of Honolulu Ave. and all surrounding side streets- 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DƉCOR, AMBIENCE A packed layout filled with tables inside and along the front sidewalk, the decor was as if grandmothers united and gave it a country farm house appeal https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=HWq31BkepPCR8uWcUf4Gtw with odds-and-ends and knickknacks. There was a coffee bar and dessert counter https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=xA7i9XBuwKW-6sfh0n-vUQ with more space. A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front glass windows and doors while a mix of recessed and track electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor could I recall any background music over all of the loud conversations. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to revisit The Black Cow Cafe, and hoped to return soon. The menu was packed, the food was good, the prices were comparable, and the service was busy but manageable. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $69.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

I come to CafĆ© Montrose every single week and it never disappoints. The turkey club is consistently…read moreso good, flavorful, and perfectly toasted every time. I always pair it with their caramel iced latte with oat milk, which is honestly one of my favorites here. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. On top of that, the cafĆ© is always spotless and has such a comfortable, inviting vibe. If you're looking for a go-to spot with amazing food, great drinks, and genuinely friendly service, this is it. Highly recommend!

We've been coming to this place for the past 4 years and truly loved it under the previous owners…read more Unfortunately, ever since the new ownership took over, the experience has completely changed and the quality it's not the same at alllll The new owner was extremely rude, unprofessional, and clearly lacks customer service skills. Today, on Mother's Day, we ordered avocado toast and quiche with salad. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, our food finally arrived -- and I was honestly shocked by the portion size and the poor quality of the avocado toast (I'll attach the photo). After politely speaking to the waiter and waiting for assistance, no one came back. I eventually had to go inside myself and speak directly to the owner. Instead of resolving the issue properly, she simply said they couldn't remake it and offered "extra avocado" instead. After waiting another 5 minutes, she told me to go sit outside and they would bring it out. They brought very tiny avocado slices. What should have been a beautiful Mother's Day experience was completely ruined. In the end, my husband had to go inside and request a refund. We are beyond disappointed and will never return. Customers deserve kindness, respect, and proper service -- and sadly this place no longer offers any of that. Avoid this place if you value good service and being treated with respect.
