The workers are so nice & accommodating, service 10/10. The whole menu was revamped from before and everything on it looks incredible. The drinks we got Corn Coffee (really good notes of corn) and Matcha Lava Cream both at 50% sweetness was really tasty. The interior is also very pretty and clean, good for study spots and aesthetic pictures. I'd def come back. read more

Hi, I'm writing to share a recent experience I had at your establishment last night, which I found disappointing--primarily due to the lack of communication and repeated instances of staff walking away mid-interaction. I was initially told my mobile order was not ready by the girl working @ the front. She told me the drink would be ready in 5 minutes.After that first interaction, I went to sit and waited some time before following up. When I checked back, she said she couldn't locate my order and walked away without providing any update. When I followed up again and showed my receipt, she mentioned she may have given the drink to someone else and again walked away without resolving the situation or offering clarification. She remained unsure and involved a coworker to assist & it was in the fridge. Despite the drink having been in the refrigerator the entire time, she once again walked away without acknowledging the mistake or addressing me. I then asked the other employee if my drink had been there the whole time, but was only told that the team was short staffed and he, too, walked away before I could respond. I fully understand that busy nights can create challenges. However, the repeated lack of communication, absence of accountability, and especially the pattern of walking away during interactions left a negative impression. I wanted to bring this to your attention as I believe it reflects an area where the customer experience could be improved. read more

Went around 11 am, sat in the most comfortable chairs to study. They have outlets and free WiFi!. My drink came out so fast, and I actually asked to switch my drink from a strawberry matcha to a matcha latte with the sea salt topping, and he was so nice he did NOT disappoint with the drink it was 10/10 SO GOOD!!!! Staff here is so nice, and they also have outdoor seating! Please visit this cafe their refreshers looked amazing too!! read more

I tried the drinks here and they were delicious! First time trying the chestnut popping boba, and loved the way it bursted in my mouth!

They are open early! Came Sunday morning before 8AM and they were completely empty. Been seeing the signs for Waffle Studio and how they have the best coffee. They rebranded to B'Lets Roastery so I cannot compare the difference between the two. 4 drinks size small for ~$18! Not bad considering how $$$ drinks cost these days. Small size is perfect for everyday drinking. This coffee is dark and strong, just what I need. 5/5 Matcha Coffee 5/5 Viet Phin Coffee -- and not too sweet either :) A very vibey place that would be suitable for meeting up with friends. Cute decor as well. Does not look like too much of a study spot. Try out the new rebranding and see for yourself! read more

B'lets Roastery offers a unique and enjoyable coffee experience, particularly with their specialty lattes. The **ube latte** stands out for its vibrant color and subtle sweetness, making it a delightful option for those looking to try something different. The **matcha latte** is also a strong contender, with a rich, earthy flavor that pairs well with the creamy texture of the drink. One of the highlights of B'lets Roastery is their ability to adjust the strength of your coffee to your liking. If you prefer a stronger brew, as you experienced, they're happy to accommodate, ensuring that each cup matches your taste preferences. The lattes are well-balanced, with the coffee flavor still prominent despite the addition of ube or matcha, which speaks to the quality of their beans and brewing methods. Overall, B'lets Roastery is a great spot for those who appreciate strong, well-crafted coffee with a twist. Whether you're in the mood for something familiar or a bit more adventurous, their offerings are sure to satisfy. Friendly staff so helpful nice ambiance read more

It was a Wednesday morning and I needed a coffee that was on the stronger side. I came across B'lets Roastery and decided to give it a try. I arrived around 8:00 AM, so there wasn't any wait time to order. There was also plenty of parking in the shared lot. I ordered and got my drink within a few minutes. I was debating between the Brûlée and the Ube coffee. I decided on the Ube coffee (less ice) and was not disappointed! The base of the coffee is Vietnamese coffee that is strong and a bit sweet. The Ube foam was a generous amount and wasn't too sweet. The price was also very reasonable. The only thing I didn't like was that it took a long time to stir the Ube with the provided straw. I'll definitely come back to try the Brûlée coffee! Note: American Express is accepted. read more

This place just opened and I've came over 4 times in a short period of time. The drinks are genuinely so good. I'm very picky with my matcha and this place has hit the spot every time. The banana coffee is also really good. The ambience is nice, definitely a nice place to study or hang out. They have a few tables and a patio. The workers are also really nice and ask if I have any questions every single time I come which I appreciated. Definitely looking forward to trying more of their menu since they have so many drink options. read more

Came here for an afternoon pick me up! The ambience is super cute. Got the Lychee Zen and Grass Jelly Milk. Also got the Pandan egg waffle. I loved the Lychee Zen. It wasn't overly sweet and very refreshing. Parking lot is small but every time I go, it's been pretty easy to get parking as it's not a busy plaza. Service has so been quick every time I come. Highly recommended! read more

Tried the Very Berry and Cold Brew at B'Lets Roastery and both were excellent. The Very Berry is super refreshing--bright, fruity, and not overly sweet, with a nice balance that feels light and clean. Perfect for a hot day. The Cold Brew was smooth and rich with no bitterness, layered beautifully and very well-crafted. You can really tell they take their drinks seriously here. Great flavors, great presentation, and a cozy vibe overall. read more

Your girl Bonnie driving up to the 626 for some girl time with her 626 girlies. WAFFLE STUDIO was just perfect because of its cute ambiance, refreshing drinks, coffee, and teas. Their taiyaki and bubble waffles were just perfectly not too sweet. It was a delightful experience catching up with friends over delicious treats in such a cozy setting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sweet escape in the 626!

We stopped by to grab coffee on a weekday morning. Decor is very cute although one side of the shop is used mostly for storage. They have bogo 50% coffee every morning. We ordered the crème brûlée latte and the ube latte. Service was fast and friendly and our drinks were ready in less than 5 minutes. Drinks were sweet, creamy, and strong. The foam topping is very thick which I actually like because it doesn't dissolve as quickly. The ube latte had some jelly on the bottom which I wasn't expecting. Overall, I'll definitely come back to try their other coffees. The only downside is the location of the plaza is on the corner of really busy intersection and it can take awhile to turn in and out. read more

I've always heard such great things about their coffee! Considering this joint is called "Waffle Studio" and they specialize in egg waffles, it's pretty impressive how many people have raved more about their coffee. Although, i'm sure their egg waffles are good too because it smelled really good! It's a small boba shop, but very quaint and cozy. It's nice to sit here cause the egg waffles smell really good lol. It was my first time trying and I was heavily debating between the ube, sesame, and egg coffee. I ended up getting the egg coffee since it the cashier says that one was the most popular option. I noticed that they also use "Trung Nguyen Legend" Vietnamese coffee, which I've also heard about from others since I heard their coffee was pretty good! It didn't take too long for them to finish my drink, and the cafe was not really busy at all either. Trying my drink, the first thing I noticed was that the egg cream top was not that thick as I thought. Usually the ones I had, the cream at the top would be really thick and creamy, but this was more on thel ighter side. I liked how it was slightly sweet, but feel like the flavor of it wasn't that strong. Then trying the Vietnamese Iced Coffee below it, it was definitely really strong! I didn't really like it at first, but as the ice melted in my drink, it tasted a lot better. I would give it some time for it to let it settle before drinking so it wouldn't be that strong. Overall, it was a pretty good drink! There's not that many coffee shops in the 626 area that serves these types of drinks. The closest around may be AK Fresh Roast, but I feel like their drinks feel really overpriced for this type of drink. Waffle Studio actually has the best value and tastes just as good, so I would definitely choose this over AK. It may not taste as good as Da Vien in OC (I like their cream top better), but I would come here again for this ube/sesame/egg coffee fix in the 626. read more

Strong and flavorful coffee. I enjoyed it and the default size is a large compared to other coffee shops!

I really love their coffee! A friend recommended this place to me and I am thankful for it. This place serves a variety of fruit drinks, Vietnamese coffee, milk teas, buns and waffles. As a person who loves Vietnamese coffee and ube, their ube coffee was divine. It is best drinken through the sip lid instead of a straw, so you can taste the delightfulness of both parts. No shaking of course to mix it. My viet husband who is very picky with his coffee really liked this place too, although he said this place is a close second to Lee's sandwiches coffee. Had the original waffle and it came with a cream cheese dip. It was very delicious with a salty and sweet flavor of the sauce which made it special. One thing I want to add that makes their coffee outstanding is that their coffee didn't give me a headache. Vietnamese coffee is known to be extremely strong, and I usually get sick from it when I drink it at other places. Didn't get sick at all or dehydrated. Excited to come again. I ordered via delivery and look forward to go to their store, so I can order Taiyaki with their coffee again. Although I will want their ube coffee, I might try out their crembrulee coffee next. read more

It looks like they still do bogo50% off before 10am. I usually get a large but since the coffee is strong and will keep me up with just half of it I just get the small now. I used to drink half then save the other half for the next morning. It looks like they upgraded the inside furniture so it looks alot better than before. They were open on thanksgiving with their usual hours. Close at 5pm. read more

Waffle Studio is a small coffee, boba tea and waffle dessert spot in South El Monte. They have modest selection of coffee/tea drinks taiyaki and waffles. Indoor decor was cute, however, huge supply/packaging boxes were all over the store which make vibe less appealing. I ordered a Strawberry Egg Waffle and an Ube Iced Coffee. The waffle was subpar in quality and mediocre in taste; the only thing that was great were the fresh strawberries. Conversely, the Ube iced coffee was perfectly concocted and tastes good. Staff were competent and professional. Prices were fairly competitive. Their seats (white couch) were kinda dirty which I saw some human hair and drink stains. Parking lot available. Overall, I'm reticent to recommend their waffle but not their coffee drinks. read more

I came here specifically for the egg Vietnamese coffee. But I was glad to see that they had other drink options as well besides just coffee. we ordered an egg Brulé coffee, jasmine green milk, tea with grass jelly, and strawberry Matcha latte. All drinks are delicious. We also ordered an original egg waffle and taiyaki, and I'm not sure if it's because they were busy or what but both desserts were not crispy, and was very much on the soggy side. Glad to see, they are having good business here. I would come back here for the drinks, but not for the waffles. The ambience is really cute here we have a lot of cute decor and is very café vibes , however, it is quite warm in the store. read more

Came on a Friday morning for the discount! 50% off second drink from 7:30am-11am! Service was quick and easy off street parking. Large+$.$75 10/10 Ube Coffee $5.75 (s) - if you like viet coffee (strong and sweet) definitely get the coffee over the latte. This lives up to viet coffee standards and the ube foam on top was an amazing addition! It was super creamy and ube flavor was solid! Highly recommend! 8/10 Brulee Coffee $5.95 (s) - Coffee was still just as good but the brulee does not add any addition to the drink in my opinion. Costs more too so rated a bit lower just cuz it's just pricy good coffee. Definitely check in on Yelp a discount only on Fridays! read more

Good quality, and I like how you can choose the amount of sugar you want, 30 or 50%. (30% is plenty for me.) I had the ube matcha and it was good! Looking forward to trying their "Specialty Refresher" drinks in the summer, with my eyes on the "Rose Lychee." Maybe their patio will be done by then. read more

Parking is kinda hard to get into since it's right on Rosemead but after the car wash just turn right into the little street and into the parking area. Seating is really cute, I got the oolong milk tea, they didn't ask how sweet but it was just right, not too sweet. The brûlée coffee is amazing, too strong cause I can't handle the view coffee but omg such good flavor. We shared the sesame egg waffle which was ok... but it was only my 2nd egg waffle so I'm willing to give it another shot along with the baos and taiyaki. read more

My order rec- ube coffee (regular size bc large got me flying) Come here to fuel up on some *strong* vietnamese coffee! They have a wide and fun selection to choose from and I was suprised how strong it was as an avid viet coffee goer. I would say I like the depth of the coffee more than my local coffee shop (Da vien). The ube cream was thick and creamy and added subtle sweet and earthy taste to balance out the bitter coffee. It seemed like they brewed every cup to order but it still came out relatively fast in my opinion (maybe 5 minutes?). No party was ahead of me when I went at 8am but I can see the line getting backed up. Also, while beautifully decorated, this place is small and only has about 3-4 tables. I wouldn't suggest planning a study session here but more of a catch up session with friends or a quick grab! Shoutout to my friend Lam for showing me where the locals grab coffee at in El Monte. He also told me they supply and sell baos from Yummy Bakery from OC (must try their salted egg bao) but it wasn't there when I went this time. Hopefully I can catch it when I come back! read more

location is a bit tricky, but if you know the ways around you can enter and leave the parking lot at the side street and make both left and right turns. Service is good, people are friendly and helpful. Ambiance can be better, they created a very elegant wall on the window side, but stacked a lot of boxes on another side.... kind of messy Food wise... drink is good, the jasmine green tea is not bad... egg waffle is soggy, it's too soft when compare to traditional Hong Kong style egg waffle... the "bao" they have are... worth a try but I won't buy again read more

B'Let's Roastery (this visit): Brûlée Coffee is kinda good, but sweeter than I expected. A bit too sweet for my taste. Lychee Zen at 50% sugar is perfect. More than that would be way too sweet. Have to say, my choices this time were better than what I ordered last time. Waffle Studio (previously visit): Avocado Coffee was alright and Hot Sesame Coffee (better, but not memorable). Maybe the iced version would be a better choice? Food/dessert wise...they're okay. Some are mediocre. Drinks: Lychee Zen 4.5/5 Brûlée Coffee 4.25/5 Sesame Coffee (hot) 4/5 Avocado Coffee (ice blended) 3.5/5 Food: Bao or buns 3/5 Taiyaki 2.5/5 Feel like there's a lot of competition on the same street. YoTea is somewhat newly opened and Da Vien is Coming Soon. There's also 4 Starbucks in the Vicinity. Great for customers (lots of choices n options), but bad for businesses. Hopefully, they all sustain and thrive. read more

I don't know many coffee shops in the El Monte area that serve Vietnamese Egg Coffee or cream topped coffee for that matter so when I heard about this spot, I made a mental note to stop by this spot if I was ever in the area. If the fact that they sell Vietnamese coffee is not an indicator already, but their coffee is very strong. If coffee isn't your thing, they have other milk teas and non-caffeinated drinks so there's really something for everyone here. They also sell egg waffles and taiyaki. Usually in other spots, I see one or the other but not both! I really love how they decorated their interior, especially the floral wall. There's a decent amount of seating inside, but they were all occupied when I went on a Sunday morning. || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Cross Streets are -Shared parking lot with plenty of spots, hassle free || D E S S E R T / D R I N K S || Egg Waffle - I opted for the Strawberry and I liked how it came with fresh strawberries and cream.

This place was good! Vietnamese can never do you dirty, it's so strong it can't be watered down. The sweet cream on top was perfect with its slight saltiness.

I had the banana coffee, it was amazingly delicious, fell in love with it, matcha is perfect,

This boba shop is really pretty! I really like the decor. They have their own parking lot. It's a small shop but very welcoming inside. Their drinks are perfect. I usually adjust the sweetness to my drinks but decided to keep the original. The drinks came out great! I got the strawberry fusion, fruity peach, lychee zen, brulee coffee, and sunset passion. My favorite is the fruity peach because I like the basil seeds. I also order the original flavor egg waffle. It takes about 15 minutes to make. It seems so good when you get it. It's hot and I forgot how good egg waffles taste. I would come back for their egg waffles and drinks. read more
