    Coffee and Turkish coffee in a beautiful cup
    Danica T.

    Apartment cafe was a nice and fun experience, we came on a weekday and although there was remodeling in the front lot, we were easily able to find street parking on the side of the apartments that was about 1-2 blocks from the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant was awesome, it truly felt like we were stepping into someone's downstair's apartment and just coming to hangout and snack. I loved the decor which made it feel very homey. I was very excited for the Turkish coffee which was a fun experience, it's definitely on the darker more bitter side but the server told us a fun story about fortune telling with the coffee after you drink it and although I'm 99% sure we did it incorrectly, it was still so fun to try and learn something new! We also had the tuna, banana pepper and cheese Kanape which is a traditional dish, it was actually pretty tasty for being quite simple, I liked the peppers, it gave the dish a slight tartness, I didn't taste any spice personally, but it tasted like tuna salad with cheese on toast. Nice and savory with a crunch. Their paninis are also good and the homemade potato chips were really good, I would buy those at the market if they ever bagged them. They were light and crunchy with the perfect amount of salt. We also saw a machine for some sort of dole whip but we didn't partake, but it seemed like something nice to try if you were interested! Overall a nice experience!

    Small interior, but very cute. Nice staff. I tried the baklava and idk if it was just me but it was gross.

    Stumbled upon this cafe on our way to another shop. So of course, we had to stop and give it a try first. The drinks were great! The barista was amazing, friendly, and courteous. We ordered the Horchata Frappe and an Iced Mocha. Both excellent and the Horchata was actually good unlike other places that just add cinnamon. I'm glad we stopped and can't wait to come again and again. Remember to look for the signs for parking!

    I stumbled upon Apartment Café out of necessity, and it turned out to be a hidden gem. I was in town for a conference here in Ontario, and the hotel I booked (shoutout to Dollar Tree Hotel ) wouldn't let me check in early or use their business center. I needed to work and think fast--so I searched nearby and found this spot. What a blessing in disguise. The café was peaceful, clean, and had the perfect vibe for getting things done. The gal behind the counter was incredibly helpful and welcoming--she took the time to walk me through the drink and food options and even made me her favorite horchata drink (which I tried both hot and cold--both were fire) I was able to work, refuel, and feel genuinely taken care of. Whether you're passing through or need a calm, cozy spot to recharge, Apartment Café delivers. Great drinks, great service, and even better energy.

    Cute little coffee shop with yummy food and even better drinks! The employee there was just so kind and very efficient and getting everyone's food and drink orders out. Lots of street parking just around the corner.

    This is a very cute coffee cafe. Love the cafe so spacious and airy ambiance. The owner is very nice and friendly. Their coffee selections are really good. Be back

    Went here for a sister date and absolutely loved it! Apartment Café is the cutest little coffee shop -- I got the tuna panini and a Dubai chocolate iced latte, and both were delicious and fresh. The whole place has a beautiful rose blush pink aesthetic and such a cozy, inviting vibe. It's tucked right next to some apartments, which gives it that hidden-gem neighborhood feel. Perfect spot for a casual hangout, sister date, or just relaxing with good coffee and food.

    my Chai latte was a bit sweet but super good! The staff was very kind! really cute study spot.

    Loved this coffee shop. Adorable angel wings inside and out. Great place to study. They had an Affogato Espresso today and it was delicious. My daughter also tried the veggie pannin and the pink Matcha. Both were good. Will be back to try more options. There is a bookshelf with some books you can read as well. The real downside is the parking. You must park on Hermosa unless you are ordering take out. There are a few parking spots in front of the coffee shop for take out only. Otherwise risk being towed.

    Loved Apartment Cafe! I had the Rose Latte and a European Kanape -- both were amazing. The latte was smooth with a lovely floral flavor, and the kanape was super tasty. Staff was super friendly and helpful, answered all our questions. The place was spotless and the decor was beautiful. Definitely a new favorite spot!

    First time at this charming little cafe with a nice setup! Parking here was pretty easy and lots of spots to sit so it's a great study area if you're in the area :D the owner was very friendly and fast with my coffee order. Lots of coffee options if you're into coffee and they even had a sugar free section so I got the lavender blueberry latte and it's got a great taste! Would comeback again when I'm in the region

    cute ambiance - promotional photos for my book club

    Apartment Café is a whimsical café gem for my latte lovers in Rancho Cucamonga. I came here to enjoy their cuteness and to take promotional photos for my book club, and of course to enjoy a latte which getting some work done. I ordered a Turkey Pesto ($9.79) and a large hot Pink Matcha Latte ($6.96). I was able to seat myself and pick a cute spot. Most of their café was cute so it wasn't too hard to find a cute spot. The turkey pesto and pink matcha latte were quickly prepared. And yummmm. Everything was fantastic! The turkey pesto came with some chips that added a crunchy element to the meal. I especially loooooved the pink matcha latte. I had just came back from Japan and I was having matcha withdrawals and this was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed it sooooooo much that I actually ordered an iced matcha latte togo on my way out. Both of the owners were so nice. When I first came in I ordered from the husband, and by the time I left I ordered from the wife. They were both super nice and helpful. I would definitelyyyyy come back to the restaurant the next time I'm in the area. I would love to try more of their lattes since I have consistently heard great things about everything here. Until next time!

    This is one of the cutest coffee shops I've been to. There is a variety of drinks and small selection of sandwiches. The service was excellent and music was great. I had the turkey and pesto panini. It was grilled perfectly and liked that the turkey was sliced very thinly. My friend had the cheese and jam panini. They said it was good surprisingly as they never considered putting those two ingredients together. I'll definitely be back especially for the Turkish coffee which is served traditionally.

Their menu was fairly straightforward and, truthfully, everything sounded good. Apparently they're known for their matcha drinks as I saw mostly everyone ordering one. However, I had my heart set on a coffee. The staff I interacted with when ordering left a lot to be desired. Very cold demeanor, especially after I ordered a coffee and asked about the popularity with their matcha drinks since I noticed everyone ordering one. She literally rolled her eyes with a sigh and was like, "well...that's what we're known for" then scurried away without any interaction or thank you to any friendly gesture upon me paying. I also ordered a scone, which she brought over to me and, again, when I said thank you, she just walked away. No smile. Nothing. Exact same interaction when giving me my drink at the pickup area. Super rude. My order consisted of a Cafe Latte and Biscoff Scone. Both were really good, despite the awful service experience. The latte was rich and the brew was tasty. The scone was the showstopper for me though. I don't normally like scones, but this had to be one of the best ones I've ever had. The biscoff flavor was prominent throughout and the texture was not hard and dry. It truly was perfection. Because of the poor service experience, I can't say that I'd return. However, if you do decide to give them a try, make sure to add a scone to your order.

This was not our first time ordering from Mr. Baker we usually stop in and pick cakes straight from the display case but this was our first custom cake experience, and it was so easy from start to finish. When we went into the bakery, we were given a card with the email address and told to email the baker directly. I emailed that Saturday while still in the store, and by Sunday morning I already had a response from Victoria. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process! I sent her inspiration pictures, and she quickly provided three different quote options. All of the inspiration cakes I sent included fresh flowers, and Victoria explained that we would need to bring our own flowers to the bakery the Friday before pickup so they could safely place them on the cake the next morning. Everything went smoothly, and when we arrived to pick up the cake, it looked absolutely stunning! The flowers we brought in were beautifully arranged, and the entire cake looked elegant and professionally done. We ordered vanilla cake with buttercream and their Strawberry Chiffon flavor, and both were AMAZING. Everyone at the bridal shower kept talking about how delicious the cake was! So many guests had never heard of Mr. Baker before and wanted to know where the cake came from that we actually brought extra business cards and handed them out during the shower. Thank you so much to Victoria and the entire team at Mr. Baker for creating such a beautiful cake and making the process so easy. Everyone there is always so kind and welcoming, and we will definitely continue ordering from them in the future!

However, I found the quality of the drink and food to be mediocre. The strawberry matcha was decent and visually appealing, but aside from its cute appearance, nothing stood out in terms of taste. My almond croissant was hard to bite into. This was disappointing as it was flavorful. I'm not sure if it was because I went in the afternoon, but I had to bite and chew harder than expected. I've never had that experience with a croissant before. My sister had no issues with hers, so I'm perplexed as to what went wrong with my croissant.
