    Partial menu - 4.6.26

    So I was craving Affogato and the pictures here looked so good. The location has plenty of free parking and inside is spaced out and almost like a cafeteria. Clean, no issues. Affogato - 8/10. The espresso was strong and bitter but the ice cream was a good offset. The espresso really packed a punch and boy did I have a surge of energy afterwards. Maybe a squeeze of salted caramel sauce would have made this a 10/10. Hubbys English Toffee (modified to have regular chocolate instead of white chocolate) was a 1/10 sadly. It was very bland and he usually likes every coffee drink. I will go again to try another drink. Not sure hubby will be along for the ride though. Service was good; no issues.

    Latte?

    Cafe Maji appears to be a great spot for students looking for a place to study while enjoying refreshments. The interior is very spacious, and there are plenty of tables with accessible outlets, making it convenient for working on a laptop for extended periods of time. The environment feels comfortable and well-suited for studying or casual meetings. That said, it may not be the best choice if you're specifically looking for high-quality espresso-based drinks. I stopped in hoping for a quick latte and ordered a hot cinnamon vanilla latte in the smallest size (16 oz). Unfortunately, the drink was quite weak, and I could barely taste the espresso. The foam was also thick, airy, and frothy and more characteristic of a superautomatic machine rather than the silky microfoam typically produced by a traditional steam wand and what you would expect in a latte. While the space itself is well-suited for studying, I can't personally recommend the lattes based on this experience.

    Was about to have dinner at the restaurant next door when I saw this place and remembered coming across it on yelp! After dinner we stopped by and tried the iced banana latte w oat milk & hibiscus lemonade. I thought my latte was perfect, you could taste the banana. You could taste the coffee & the creaminess. The hibiscus lemonade was refreshing & kind of tasted like a pink lemonade. The service was fast. They had lovely music playing. It seems like a great place to study with all the seating they have. I will definitely be back!

    Super cute :)

    I wanted to like this place but the quality of the coffee was just not there. My almond roca mocha tasted like burned coffee from a hotel plus, it was not sweet and I didn't taste or smell any almond roca flavor. The bathroom was not clean but the ambiance is great for students to study. Staff was nice and friendly .

    Brownie Sunday

    I've had this on my list to try for a while now, and it was not exactly what I thought it would be... The place has that heavy smell of oil, which was kind of uncomfortable to sit in, although there were plenty of people there who were studying and such. The menu is funny at best and confusing at worst. A big part of me wants to really, really, with all my heart, fix it for them. We ordered a brownie Sunday, and the brownies were kind of like the store bought ones. Ice cream was good. It was pretty large, but nothing to write home about. Parking is easy, the service (older gentleman) was great. Seating is a hodgepodge of random chairs and tables. Interesting.

    When you need to relax, turn off your brain from the non stop world. This is the go to spot. Relaxing music, relaxing environment, very kind service, and amazing food and drinks to help relax.

    Artesia is one of those culinary areas that I need to spend more time in. There are a bunch of tasty treats along Artesia Blvd. Cafe Maji was a nice surprise with open space and a variety of caffeinated and non-caffeinated options. I ordered the Caramel Latte and Hibiscus (Jamaica) Organic Tea. Both were refreshing and I appreciated the latte not being too sweet. I'd definitely return for a Banana Matcha.

    the worker here is so sweet and nice, he seems to be a one man show and is always quick & attentive i remember the last i came, it was really slow during summer season when not a lot of students are in there studying so we were the only customers after hours of opening.. he gave us (really good!) cream puffs for free which was so sweet. i'm so glad business is picking up again! it was pretty busy for a friday night when i went this time i got the red velvet cake and it was quite a large portion with basically 2 slices for $12 ish dollars! had to take it home but was still super good the next day :)

    $9 each for 2 ice lattes. Highly expensive and did not taste good. It tastes like over processed sweetener and my coffee just did not taste fresh. The price and quality is not right. I really wanted to give this place a shot because it's been in my bookmark for a while. The space needs a deep clean. There's fold out chairs and fold out tables everywhere. Seems like a place to study? When I went in with my husband, the place was not welcoming, and had an awkward vibe. The place had no aesthetic. Just lots of tables. We got our drinks and left.

    Great study spot with plenty of outlets. They also sell food here, which is really convenient

    Plain cruffle (Whipped cream, Vanilla ice cream)

    My husband and I were looking for a quiet dessert spot in the area and stumbled upon this gem. It's such a nice place to study--peaceful atmosphere with relaxing music. Their cruffle and fries are really delicious, and the service is wonderful! The staff are so warm and welcoming.

    Peppermint Mocha was almost $10

    Nope. No cute drinks.

    This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

    I've been here before and honestly wasn't a fan of their breakfast. Their drinks were decent…read morethough, and after eating teriyaki in Gardena, I was craving something sweet, so we decided to stop here again. I ordered a hot salted caramel latte. They charge an extra dollar to substitute oat milk, so I kept the regular milk. My son got the cappuccino cake, and I chose the ricotta pistachio cake. The pistachio cake was a little dry -- not terrible, but noticeable. However, my hot salted caramel latte was actually very good and paired really well with the dessert. The music and atmosphere were nice, and there were only a few patrons inside, which made it feel relaxed. However, there were a couple of dirty plates left sitting on tables while one employee seemed more focused on organizing napkins instead of clearing them. I also wasn't too sure how fresh the cakes were since they had been sitting in the display. Whether I come back really depends on the flavor and quality of the food and drinks next time around.

    I am happy that I finally got to try out this place since there is always a line outside,…read moreespecially on weekend mornings. Since we were nearby shopping, we decided to stop by. The parking was pretty empty and there was no line, so why not? FYI there is overflow parking next door so do not fret if you can't find one in their little lot. The restaurant itself is like a cafe with pretty cool waitresses and bussers. There is a cute electric train that runs around the top ledge of the dining room which I thought was pretty cute. As for the food, I had the chorizo and eggs plate. It came with tortillas and refried beans. It was delicious and was simple but great. If needed, they have a soyrizo version too. Overall, pretty chill cafe and affordable. We will definitely be back.

    Parking is a struggle with only a small lot available - 2/10…read more The outside appearance feels a bit outdated, giving off a local dive bar vibe - 6/10. Inside, the place is clean but definitely could use some updates - 6/10. Staff were very nice and friendly, though I wish coffee refills were automatic - 7/10. The food reminds me of home cooking. I really enjoyed their Mexican dishes but preferred the breakfast menu overall. The hobo omelet and breakfast potatoes had great flavor. However, the biscuits and gravy were disappointing, tasting like store-bought biscuits and canned gravy--probably from Costco or Sam's Club. Coffee was very good, but I wish someone would walk around constantly refilling cups. Overall, a decent spot with some room for improvement.
