    Miku's Song and V Super Saiyan
    Tracey H.

    Pleasantly surprised!! Glad to have another good coffee shop in the area. Our drinks were well executed. The added flavors did not overpower the coffee. It was a good roast and brew. We prefer Miku's song (Blue Razz) over V Super Saiyan (Mango). Blue raspberry paired well and enhanced the coffee whereas the mango kind of disappeared. Needless to say, the cafe itself was really nice! It's decked out in decorations, games, and manga. A great spot to hang out. The parking lot in the back is not very big and I believe it shared with the tenants (mixed use building). Overall, I would definitely come again to try their other drinks and food.

    Charriquiles & eggs (green salsa)

    My friends and I visited this cafe after the gym. It is tucked in a corner on Pacific Ave. in Baldwin Park. There is a handful of parking spots in the back. The place is unassuming on the outside, but oh so lively on the inside. I only dabble in anime, but you could see how much care was put into decorating this cafe. You can order at your table with the QR code on the stand, which is what my friends and I did. For my drink I got the Gengar Shadow and it came with a matcha poki and blueberry meringue. The matcha was smooth and flavorful. The blueberry cream was tasty, creamy & complimented the matcha so well. I also got the Charriquiles, which were cooked to perfection. The tortilla chips were a gorgeous balance of crunchy and soft. The verde salsa had a little kick and was so rich. The eggs were big and cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and checked on us a bit. It is a little pricey, but that's expected eating out now. Be prepared to wait a little, but that usually is expected with good tasting, high quality food. So mad at myself for not stopping by before, when I perused Yelp for study spots. Will definitely come again!!

    What a beautiful and gorgeous place! Anteiku means harmony zone or peaceful ward. It was also a small neighborhood café in the Tokyo Ghoul series. I felt like I am walking in an animation studio. There are anime characters everywhere, in addition to a cute anime mural. The decor was vibrant, unique, and joyful.The furniture were comfy. The place was very clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is an adjacent parking lot with limited spots, but we parked easily there. Their savory menu included; kaido steak sando, rengoku Bento, mugiwara fried rice, steak and eggs, grilled cheese, veggie rolls, Onigri, gyoza, and more. The drink menu had various assortment. They had latte, cappuccino, frappuccinos, Mocha latte, cold brew, matcha, specialty drinks , mocktails and refreshers. The staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. We ordered the following to go; - Rengoku Bento 5/5 Tender  sirloin steak, sautéed bell peppers and onions, served with fluffy white rice, crispy egg rolls, savory gyozas, and a boiled egg.The portion was excellent. Everything was flavorful. -Sanjis Tamago Sando 5/5 Creamy egg salad spread on toasted sourdough bread, with salsa on the side. The sando was savory, creamy, and rich. -Onigri 5/5 seasoned rice in a triangle shape, decorated with crisp seaweed, and filled with savory fillings. It was fresh and tasty. -G super Saiyan 5/5 Fresh matcha latte topped with mango cream top. Their matcha was strong and creamy balanced with the sweetness of mango. -All might smile 5/5 It was matcha latte topped with banana cream top. It was such a refreshing drink. The natural and rich flavor of banana had well balanced flavor with the strong matcha taste. This cafe is a hidden gem in Baldwin Park. Definitely, I will be back soon.

    Owner and workers were so sweet and welcoming! Our drinks and food were so good! Definitely will be seeing us again! Felt like the PERFECT anime cafe to go to.

    Chicken Gyoza
    Jagruti L.

    If you love anime, then you will love this cute cafe spot. I ordered Avocado Toast, Gyoza dumplings, and Mydoriyas Charge drink. The toast with smash avocado and eggs was delicious on a sourdough bread. My pretty Kiwi refresher drink was perfectly sweetened and refreshing. Chicken Gyoza was flavorful inside and crispy on the outside. Tasted great with the dipping sauce. Ambiance is nice and clean. Perfect spot for a brunch, meetup, school and work. Great service. Owner and the staff were m super friendly. I will definitely be back.

    The Chilaquiles were good.
    Peter P.

    My daughter and I love coming to this cafe in Baldwin Park, three reasons why. The owner and his employees are super kind and amazing people. I love supporting small businesses. Secondly, the coffee and the Chilaquiles with beef are delicious, definitely my favorite. Lastly, my daughter and I love ripping our Pokemon cards. The owner enjoys us ripping and showing him when we get great hits. The environment is amazing as well. Thank you Anteiku Cafe for amazing service!

    I was very pleasantly surprised to find this themed cafe! It feels so inviting and you can tell a lot of love was put into the ambiance and decor. The details are amazing - reminds me of Tokyo. I love the vibe and I can see why this is a popular hangout spot and study spot. Food and drinks were solid - I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing friends.

    "All might smile" banana matcha
    Marleena H.

    "All might smile" banana matcha was very good. Sweet but not overly sweet, my recommendation would be to mash the little candy that comes on top into the drink and you'll be able to really get the banana with the drink, all in all the matcha was very good. There was a family sitting down and all of their food looked really good. It was a very welcoming environment and even saw people in costume. The workers were also very nice as well. Would come back :), only issue was that it took a long time for the matcha about 25 minutes, I know things are usually first come first serve but working in service if I have big families coming the I'm going to push out the order with one or two drinks while working on my big order. Just a tip but it was very nice and enjoyed my experience

    Cecilia L.

    This is such a cool coffee shop! I got the biscoff latte and i loved how it wasnt overly sweet, you can still taste the coffee and the flavor. I do wish they had sip lids instead of dome but thats personal preference. The staff was attentive and very fast.

    Yogurt parfait with strawberries and blueberries
    RoseMary F.

    This Cafe is trendy and a fun place to be. The owners, Luis and Valerie, have invested time to create a place for the community to enjoy. With an Anime theme, it automatically attracts customers by word of mouth. Leonard from Yelp IE posted his review and photos, I just had to bookmark it! Te-see from SFV, drove all the way out to experience it first-hand and we give it the DOUBLE thumbs up!! Sandwiches, wraps, fruit yogurt parfait, coffee are some of the popular items. All food and drinks are served in glass or ceramic dishware, no paper plates or plastic utensils. If you are like me and don't know what to order, the owner was patient in answering questions and making recommendations. Each item has a creative name and fresh ingredients, not frozen. Try a couple of things and come back to make your way down the menu. Community Events are held on a monthly basis, follow them on social media for the latest schedule. 1. Avocado toast had chopped egg in a mayo dressing. 2. Lotus Latte was topped with a Biscoff cookie. 3. Hot Cocoa with Toasted Marshmallows, whipped topping 4. Killua fruit yogurt parfait with sliced strawberries and blueberries (named after a popular Anime character). I was definitely a fan as soon as I walked in the door. To the left are board games, books and sofa seating. Straight ahead is the order counter and electronic menu board, on the right hand side are several tables with seats for 4 to 6 customers. A few tables are located outside by the front entrance. -Small parking lot behind the cafe (no charge). Sincerely, Rosemary

    Zenitsu Ice Tea and Haisen coffee w a meringue cookie.
    Stephanie M.

    Cute small cafe with interesting menu items. Perfect for anime and manga otakus, even the meaning of the name relates to the reference from a cafe in Tokyo Ghoul where "even a Ghoul needs a place to relax" comes from. Friendly service and very clean and well kept interior. Could be a date spot, friends hang out, or even a fun outing to show off beautiful artwork. I ordered Zenitsu Ice Tea and my friend ordered from one of the house favorites Haisen Iced Coffee. Both drinks were good, can't wait to try other menu items so will be back again but honestly I really want to just bask in the happy vibes in this cafe. Parking is convenient and free behind the building.

    Lotus Latte - delicious
    Te-see B.

    "Anteiku" is a prominent, fictional coffee shop and ghoul organization in the Tokyo Ghoul anime and manga series, hence the name... Owner Louis and Valerie his wife, opened this coffee shop 8 months ago. As a kid he watched anime to help him through a rough time. His life was truly changed and he wanted to give the community a safe heaven where they too could benefit from it as well. The minute you step inside you will notice all of the anime artwork on the walls, the amazing menu above the counter (it changes every few seconds with the most amazing photos of the drink menu), and the glorious chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Even the bathroom has anime artwork! There is an area where you can sit back on a comfy sofa or chair to enjoy your drink and/or food. *The drink menu is extensive with Coffees, Matchas, Mocktails, and refreshers. The presentation is beyond spectacular!!! We were blown away! The food menu also amazing! We ordered: *Lotus Latte - a butter cookie/biscoff iced latte 10/10 *Hot Chocolate - looked like a work of art 10/10 *Avocado Toast - mashed avocado with eggs - 10/10 - tasted like avocado egg salad - soooo good! *Killua Fruit & Yogurt - Greek yogurt with fresh Blueberries&Strawberries 5/5 **Excellent service! Louis was so helpful and answered all of our questions about the drinks and the food! ~Check out their website/insta for anime events. Louis is planning on doing a few a months. ~Parking lot in the back *TY Leonard for turning me on to this place! ~ and that's all I have to say about that...xo

    A cozy artfully Japanese anime curated coffee shop with instrumental music playing lighly in the background. This place has ample seating and is a great place to lounge around and enjoy your coffeewith a small meal. The staff is friendly, fast and attentive with their service. I ordered the Lotus Latte hot and it has a beautiful presentation and tasted rich, creamy, and not too sweet.

Before I could say what kind I wanted I was rudely interrupted "I said what do you want? What kind of sandwich!?" I repeated what I wanted He repeated "what kind of sandwiches do you want? I said can have it with Turkey Pastrami and Turkey. I was told no repeatedly on the turkey pastrami. -First the Turkey pastrami is too expensive it's an added $50 I said that's fine and he continued to persuade me to not get it -Second because now it's too much work to put on a sandwich because you know The Colossal is pretty big. (Seems like the works too much for them) So at the end of the day I went with the big corporate sandwich shop because I got my questions answered, they weren't rude, actually tried to upsell me instead of telling me no it's "too expensive" Lesson learned: teach your employees how to talk to customers. Thanks for the time and the so so service.

    .., meet Whittier's Uptown hero!…read more My experience here was from 6/26/26 & it did not disappoint. Though I've been to Uptown Provisions twice before to support my friend Andrew M, as well as my other friend Andrew P. with Satori Coffee Project, this was my actual visit where I finally ate! Third times the charm! Tucked nicely into a Penn St. neighborhood, Uptown Provisions can easily be spotted by the loyal patrons waiting/dining outside. May the street parking gods be kind to you as they always provide me with a spot nearby. Knowing what I already wanted from doing my menu homework the night prior, I was practically drooling on my way in. Greeted by a great staff & friendly fellow patrons, I felt right at home. I went with the "Tom's Way" sandwich. Dedicated to one of their favorite customers, it's a crossover between an egg sandwich & a pastrami. It was perfect! Chef Aaron describes his sandos as the perfect West Coast sandwich, & that I can totally agree with. Tom's Way provided me with a robust sandwich blend that never knew I needed until now. Each component's flavor profile blended together nicely. I'm usually hit or miss with rye bread, but this rye hit the mark & held the ship together. The eggs were made with care & prepared in a way I've never tasted before, very delicious. Pastrami was tender, pickled onions provided the bitter tangy component while the broccoli slaw became the soothing blanket that nestled every flavor together. I absolutely loved my sandwich. They post a 20 minute wait time but I got mine in 15. Great things come to those who wait. They do not have a public bathroom so plan your visit accordingly. They have a few counter seats inside with plenty more outdoor seating in front with friendly locals chatting it up. Don't be shy with the napkins. Thank you Uptown Provisions for a great experience, I shall return!
