Amai Coffee/Tea is a new Filipino inspired coffee and matcha cafe. A fantastic local gem with shops in Glendale and Torrance. This location is at a small business plaza in San Fernando Road in Glendale. I stopped in for a morning Cold coffee drink before going to work. The staff are immediately friendly and welcoming and genuinely pleased to see you. The menu has plenty of options for everybody and some superb coffee drinks. I chose one of their specialties an iced Manila Vanilla, an espresso + organic + roasted vanilla which coast 4.80 quid ($6.50 usd). It was refreshing, smooth, and perfect morning quencher on an 82-degree weather. I really liked it! :D Their drink menu was compendious and fairly priced. Pastries are available. Interior design and layout were very minimal and compact, respectively. However, they do have front outdoor seats facing the parking lot for customers. Atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. Staff were competent and affable. Parking was very limited given they're in a small plaza and gets filled fairly quickly. Overall, it's a nice little Filipino coffee shop which is very popular amongst local coffee drinkers. I will definitely recommend you visit. I shall return. Tootletloo!

It is located in a plaza so parking is easy and free. It's a small coffee shop, there's a communal table then there are couple of seats. It's prolly not the best place to work since it could get crowded easily. The staff was pleasant and friendly. I ordered Amai Signature, I love it. The espresso was smooth and it didn't turn out to be super sweet despite the brown sugar, sweet foam and cocoa powder mixture. I'll definitely come back to try their other Specialty drinks.

cute little matcha spot in Glendale! i feel like there aren't too many matcha cafes here, so when I heard about this one i was very excited to check it out. I got their mango sticky rice matcha which was delicious! they even have vinyls/photo ops inside which is fun :) would definitely go again!

Excellent service, very fast and friendly even with a only a couple of staff. They have a nice variety of coffee drinks and matcha drinks as well as milk alternatives. It's a small cafe with very limited seating and a small parking lot. Street parking is available and they share their lot with Dinah's chicken which makes it tough during lunch. The coffee is delicious and who doesn't like to support small businesses? I can't wait to come back and try some hot coffee.

Loved this cute little spot! Felt lucky to have no line. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee, and the sweet cream on top had the perfect sweet-and-salty flavor. I'm already craving another one. It's a small café with only about 7 to 8 seats, but there's a decent-sized parking lot, and it's absolutely worth the stop. The service was so friendly, and the coffee was delicious. Definitely coming back to try the turon and more of their drinks!

Robyn S.

A very solid coffee spot! As a Filipina, I jumped on the idea of a turon banana latte as it was one of my favorite desserts growing up. I got hints of the caramelized sugar but was a little sad that more of the banana flavor didn't shine through, even with the banana foam! I got the mango sticky rice matcha for my husband which he enjoyed but he also lamented in desiring a stronger matcha flavor. Despite this, I still thought that overall the drinks were tasty and I would return to try their other offerings!

Ash B.

The mango sticky rice matcha was so good. I love a sweet drink so if you don't like sweet this isn't for you. But you could taste the notes of mango and matcha blended together perfectly. Neither overpowered the other.

We have been here more than once now and ordered the Amai Special latte every time. The first time, it was slightly too sweet for me, so I ordered half the brown sugar the second time and that was perfect. I'll be doing that from now on. This shop is small, has a large communal table inside as well as a couple of pairs of chairs outside. If they would put an umbrella out there for the sun/heat, it would be a really nice little corner spot to hang out in this plaza. They always have nice music playing and a clean restroom on hand. They people here really seem to care about their drinks and have been friendly and kind every time we've been here. There is a small parking lot for the entire plaza, which is feast or famine for spots depending on what time of day you're here. We've come when it's super busy and still found a spot quickly. It's a one way loop thru the parking lot and all of the spaces are angled. Lots of great stuff in this plaza, so grab a coffee from Amai and check out the pananderia and other businesses while you're at it.

Delicious drinks! You can see the matcha being made by hand fresh as you wait in line. I loved the hojicha einspanner - the tea was so fragrant. They have unique drinks like the Turo Banana latte that you can't find anywhere else. Their pastries also taste as good as they look. We had the matcha almond croissant which had matcha filling in the middle and it was so good! Service is so friendly and efficient. The space is small inside with just one large table and couple seats on the side, so it can be tight squeeze inside. It's worth a visit though because you can taste the quality.

Was really excited to hear that a cute café like Amai was opening near me. We went on a Thursday afternoon and there was a short line. Their menu is incredibly innovative and has a lot of unique flavors, so it was super hard choosing just one. I wanted to try the mango matcha, too and the banana flavors also sounded good. We ended up ordering the Vietnamese coffee and the double matcha. The Vietnamese coffee was good, strong and not too sweet. However, my double matcha was very milky and tasted watered down. Despite it being the strongest matcha on the menu (supposedly), there was no matcha taste at all and it tasted more like just oat milk. The matcha cream on top was tasty and strong but not enough to balance out the milkiness of the matcha latte underneath. I was pretty disappointed, but hopefully it was just a one off. I hope I can come back and try some of the other flavors, and see if the matcha is redeemed. The space itself is super cute with wooden tables and a record player and plants in the corner. There are also chairs and tables outside, and it's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. A pretty convenient and cozy space - I'd opt for the coffee instead of matcha here or skip the double matcha and try a fruit matcha instead.

Destiny M.

Yummy coffee (on the sweeter side) and a really cute atmosphere. The service was quick even in a bit of a morning rush. I wish they had a bigger space inside but it was cute! Will be back.

Located in a small shopping center with some parking but extra parking next door in the Vons lot. Great variety of coffee and matcha drinks. With a specialty Asian inspired drink section and seasonal specials. They all looked really tasty and creative. Went with the following... Specialty Asian Inspired coffee drinks: Vietnamese House Coffee- Coffee, condensed milk, salted foam, and cacao powder Turon Banana- Espresso, milk, banana, banana foam, and banana chips The Vietnamese hose coffee was strong and perfectly balanced with the sweetness of condensed milk , now add a salty component with the foam and... perfect! I love all things banana and the TURON LATTE WAS SO YUMMY. Great espresso and lots of banana. Loved it! I don't think you can go wrong with any beverage here.

Taylor B.

Stopped here before heading to the zoo with my daughter and so glad we did! The baristas were so sweet and friendly with my daughter and I! They are so intentional about design and taste! It is a small shop but has a perfect table for getting work done if you come early. Some outdoor seating as well. Excited to try the matcha next time but the barista recommended the turon latte and it was delicious.

A cute little coffee shop tucked away in a corner! I was recommended their matcha and have been here twice since. The first time was better than my second even though I ordered the same drink both times. Seems like the staff is still getting the hang of their menu...? Both times, the staff was serious and only friendly towards each other, which I didn't really mind but it was awkward trying to order while they joked with each other. I'll be coming back and giving it another shot! read more

I've tried and loved the other locations so I already had high expectations. I love the Asian-inspired drinks like the turon banana, but some of them weren't available due to being newly opened. Ended up getting the hojicha einspanner (wasn't as creamy as I expected, but was a good balance of sweetness and the hojicha taste) and honeycomb latte (perfect amount of sweetness). I was also excited to try some pastries, but they said they're just available for weekends for now. Parking lot, WiFi, and limited seating area inside. Looking forward to going back especially once fully opened! read more

Idk what is up with customer service these days. I ordered a turon banana latte and even pointed at the menu when doing so. The cashier did not repeat back my order or anything and when I paid it only showed the total price. They were so confident that I did not think to doubt what they heard. The drink came out while I was in the restroom and when I went to go taste it, it tasted like vanilla not banana. I had my boyfriend go check to make sure the order was correct and all they said was you ordered a "manila vanilla" not a "turon banana" with a very blunt tone. No "sorry did you mean to order the turon banana" or "sorry I might have misheard you". I have NO idea how turon banana sounds like manila vanilla and the way that responded was very dissapointing. It was very rude and dismissive. I would have loved to come back but this experience put a bad taste in my mouth :( read more

Amai Coffee & Tea 4106 San Fernando Road #H, Glendale, CA 91204 - 5/5 2/5 ($) parking lot - Amai has finally landed close to the Valley! I have been WAITING to try Amai, and I was so happy to find out that they JUST opened one in Glendale. We ordered: 1. Amai Signature 2. Manila Vanilla 3. Blueberry Matcha 4. Ube Cinnamon Roll First the cafe itself, is super small, BUT SUPER CUTE! It has ambient lightning and a lot of seats surprisingly! The girls that were working were also super, super sweet and were so helpful in guiding us on what drinks to choose! I didn't know that Amai was Filipino owned, and so I was so surprised to see Filipino inspired drinks! We ordered the Manila Vanilla and Amai Signature, which were both the perfect blend of sweet flavor and the bitterness of espresso. The blueberry matcha was also super flavorful, but a little sweet for me. Next time, I would def go a little less sweet. However, we also ordered the Ube Cinnamon Roll, which was also SUPER sweet, but WE ENJOYED it. I feel like the sweetness here was almost expected, and I loved every bite. follow @no0delle for more more info - 7am-5pm weekdays, 8am-5pm sat&sun read more

Tried the matcha einspanner on a weekend afternoon. Parking was a bit tough since there are nearby businesses and limited spaces. The drink looked great presentation-wise, but unfortunately the taste didn't match. We customized the drink to 1/2 sweet and it leaned heavily toward sweet milk. The matcha flavor was very mild with little to no earthy bitterness. The cloud foam was sweetened as well, which made the overall drink feel unbalanced. This was our first visit, and it would've been helpful to be offered more customization options upfront when ordering. Since they seem newly opened, we didn't complain and are hopeful they'll continue to refine their drinks. For matcha lovers, we recommend asking for, 1-3 extra matcha shot and less or no sweetener to your own preference. read more

Tried going here and immediately the vibes were hostile. 2 other couples at tables waiting for their drinks so it was just me and my partner in line to order. We were not greeted at the entrance and not even acknowledged once during the entire time we were there. It's a small space so I'm not sure how that was possible There were two associates behind the counter- someone making drinks and the other going in and out of the back doing god knows what. Waited at the counter after some time and ultimately left because no one bothered to say anything to us. I understand being busy with making drinks, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would've sufficed. read more

My experience at AMAI was excellent when they first opened, which is why I frequently recommended it to friends and family. Unfortunately, my visit on June 9 completely changed my perception. During previous visits, there was always a friendly and welcoming staff presence. However, today I encountered a male employee at the register whose attitude toward my sister and me was disappointing and unprofessional. After processing my payment, he disputed the transaction and insisted on charging me again, seemingly because the original transaction did not include a tip. The situation was confusing, frustrating, and handled very poorly. Despite paying for my order, I left without even taking my coffee because of how uncomfortable the interaction became. When I requested clarification and a dispute for the transaction, the issue was not resolved in a satisfactory manner. As someone who has supported this business from the beginning and encouraged many others to visit, I am extremely disappointed by this level of customer service. No customer should have to deal with this kind of treatment. Sadly, this experience has made me decide not to return. The two male workers at this establishment are pressuring customers into leaving tips. They are demanding very rude and inconsiderate. Terribly disappointed in the service I received I will not return, I wouldn't recommend anyone to enter this establishment especially any females the male workers will make you feel very uncomfortable. read more

I didn't feel rushed and spent time writing, watching the rain, and slowly drinking a matcha einspanner. I like that there is one large table inside, since the space is small it creates opportunities to sit with people you haven't yet met and talk.

Been meaning to try this place for a while now. Tucked away in a tiny shopping center that creates a struggle to find parking in. Location wise it is also in a lesser populated area of Glendale, so it's out of the way of the main city center. The coffee shop is small but cozy and nice decor. Went on a Sunday afternoon and they had about four staff working as it was well busy. All staff were nice and the lady at the front helped me choose a drink for my indecisive mind. Ended up going with the matcha Einspanner as I wasn't feeling coffee that day. Waited less than 4 minutes and my drink was ready made. Onto the drink itself, it was a decent and pleasant drink. Personally I would say that, though the matcha tasted of good quality, I felt as if the matcha itself was not enough and the cream overpowered the drink. As you can see in the picture included, the drink was not as matcha dense as other places I've tried. The cream top had a good flavor. To sum it up, would I come here again? Sure.

PREVIOUS REVIEW2 It's been a while since I've been here the previous time. In addition to being very nice last time (except for the logistics of ordering and the non-functioning power outlets), the please remains a peaceful oasis and the ordering process has improved since. Most importantly, the coffee remains delicious, and the tomato basil tart was a wonderful quick lunch followed by a multi berry muffin. PREVIOUS REVIEW1 Cute little place in Atwater Village!! So cute with peaceful, relaxing and quiet atmosphere (inside/outside) that I thought I could get some work done (free WiFi). The concept is a bit confusing: There are a bunch of "menu items" such as sandwiches and wraps etc, but while they are listed on a big board behind the counter, you have to actually grab them premade/prepacked from a fridge ... The Vegan Smokey BBQ Wrap was very good except for the short and transient moment when I opened the container, but after all it was actually fresh, juicy and had a great flavor mix. The Mex Mocha with Almond milk (alternatives are available) was delicious, and I paired it with a GF Orange Chia Bread Loaf. PS: I'm neither Vegan nor GF fanatic... What really defied the purpose of coming here was the non-working power outlets, and the manager not taking care of it. My laptop unfortunately does not have a TESLA battery and hence I did not last for 2 hours... PS: I neither have a TESLA nor a Prius either ... Tip: Parking on this side of the street can be tough, look on the other side ...

The pour overs we got were served in these beautiful mugs and they really go out of their way to make their place distinct and set apart so you can just focus on your drink and your company if you made the visit with others or if you have a journal or good book. As a Baldwin Park resident there are many great coffee shops in the SGV so I don't know if I would make the trek out here again unless I decide to go splurge on some expensive equipment or take one of their classes.

Her drink (not pictured) was the Santo blend, a darker roast with minimal acidity and dark chocolate-y notes. Mine was the Kemi, a medium roast with deep but light fruity flavours, which I loved.

A female staff member said I could, so I ordered at the counter and asked her what drinks could be made caffeine-free. She very kindly told me that if I let her know which drink I wanted, she would make it without caffeine for me. The female staff who took my order was incredibly friendly. I ordered the Mango Coconut Boom, and it was great that they had a display board showing which order numbers were currently being made while I waited. After waiting for about 5 to 8 minutes, my drink came out, and it was really delicious. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing. (I actually try to avoid drinking sugary drinks because of my teeth. Ever since spending a fortune at the dentist a few years ago, I've been taking extra care of my teeth. So I usually don't drink sweet beverages, but this one didn't bother my teeth at all, which made it even better.) The only downside is that this location doesn't have any tables or seating space. Still, the drink was so delicious and refreshing that I finished it in a flash, and the staff who took my order was so friendly, which was great. (Even when Starbucks gives out free drinks sometimes with my reward points, I never order a Venti because I think it's a waste to order a large size just because it's free if I can't even finish it. So I just ordered a regular size yesterday, but it was so good that I drank it so fast.)

Plan to wait a little longer than a Starbucks after ordering. The part I don't like about this coffee bar is its design. It's intentionally uncomfortable. It's designed for people to have a quick coffee chat in hard chairs/benches and leave. The tables are very small, so there isn't much space for anything except your coffee and snack. You can tell that the people who designed this cafe don't want customers to stay long.

Just a friendly atmosphere. I love the interior design on the place. The mirrors are a fine touch. I tried the Manila Vanilla and it was really good.

A slight reprieve from our high temps led us to make the decision today to venture out to Quat…read more Came here off a recommendation that someone I trust swore by so, here we were. Best way to describe this place is a campus tucked away. They have a place for classes, a large open meet up spot with seating, and it seems like it is surrounded by art or art adjacent studios. Their shop is definitely a coffee nerds dream come true. The actual coffee shop has a nice mix of drinks. The pour overs we got were served in these beautiful mugs and they really go out of their way to make their place distinct and set apart so you can just focus on your drink and your company if you made the visit with others or if you have a journal or good book. As a Baldwin Park resident there are many great coffee shops in the SGV so I don't know if I would make the trek out here again unless I decide to go splurge on some expensive equipment or take one of their classes. But for a one time visit it was awesome

God I'm so glad I found this place. I recently moved to Burbank from East LA, which was flooded…read morewith coffee shops and cafes in every corner. I struggled to find cozy, friendly, tasty coffee shop and thankfully found Zomu. Not sure if the baristas are the owners, but they are extremely welcoming and friendly. And the drinks are absolutely amazing. Has become my new go-to.

Tucked inside a pottery shop in Burbank, this little café is such a cute find! Their Café Latte is…read morereally good--smooth, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. The staff are friendly and welcoming. There can be a little bit of a wait since there are only one or two people making the drinks, but honestly, it's worth the wait. Such a charming spot to grab a coffee and enjoy the unique atmosphere. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Came on the hottest day of the summer so far and got the iced cream top latte and they were willing…read moreto make an iced version of the marshmallow latte for my partner. Service was super knowledgeable and friendly and made good recommendations. Cream top is very sweet, and goes great with the mellow latte below. This tastes like the kind of vanilla ice cream your kids love. I got the large 20oz size and enjoyed every ounce! Iced marshmallow was perhaps not a good idea only because the marshmallows got chilled and became a weird texture. Definitely our bad ordering it that way! Get it hot, the way it was thoughtfuly designed , and I'm sure it's delightful! This truck is in the office building courtyard off to the right before you pull into the garage on Monterey. There are tables with it umbrellas around for shade in the summer. There is sometimes street parking right in front of the office building on Brand, otherwise the lot for this complex is $1 for every 12 minutes and this stand doesn't validate (tho Equinox does, apparently).

I loved how much cinnamon it had. It looks like a good place to work too. Ample parking. The bathroom could use a little more cleaning. It needs a deep clean.

Loved the vibe here. So relaxing and a perfect place to either work, study or just chill…read more The cashier was really nice and helpful. The menu is pretty straightforward. We got the Matcha Mochi Latte and Watermelon Slush. The Matcha Mochi Latte was such a cool concept and the drink itself was good. The Watermelon Slush was refreshing and good. I might go back to try other drinks and their food menu (their croffle looks good)! P.S. They have a very small parking lot with, I believe, 3-4 parking spots. You can park on the street or park at Vons and walk for a little bit.
