Chefs kiss SO GOOD my husband and I came to try something new and it's just so good. Unique twists on classic flavors that left us in awe. We got the mocha banana iced latte and the dulce cielo latte paired with a slice of coffee cake. It's just perfect! I am bringing my mom tomorrow!! read more

Been passing this cute coffee shop many times and today we finally decided to give it a try. The owner is so friendly and sweet, she greeted us when we walked in and introduced the menu patiently. It is a small cozy coffee shop with a few table/chairs and a couch, there are so many yummy sweet treats and pastries on the counter and display section. The coffee we ordered is also very decent. They also have outdoor seating too, the street parking is not too bad and we visited on a Sunday. Will come back to try their pastries next time. Highly recommended if you are a Monrovian and has not tried this place yet. read more

This review is for the cupcakes only. I asked my bf to pick some up for me on a weekday morning. He said they were about $4 each. Overall, I thought the cupcakes were alright. I enjoyed the frosting more than the cake part. It's on the sweet side, but the cream cheese helps temper the sugar and the cake is less sweet. What I didn't like about the cake was the texture. At room temp, the crumb was fine yet dense and a touch dry. Some flavors were a little gummy. It didn't taste as bad as that sounds, but I was a little disappointed since the cupcakes looked so cute! - Strawberry Vanilla. This vanilla cupcake with real strawberries in the batter was the most moist and airy. However, there were pockets of slight gumminess due to the strawberry. The overall flavor was bland. The pink frosting was regular cream cheese frosting. - Red Velvet. The flavor of the cake was light, but better than the vanilla. It was a little drier than the vanilla, but probably the most well rounded in terms of texture. - Dulce de Leche. This cake was the most firm/dry/dense, but it also had the most flavor with notes of dark caramel. The frosting seemed to contain a mixture of cream cheese and dulce de leche. read more

Super cute local café with a bakery! Cupcakes cookies tarts bars crossiants you name it they've got it. The lattes are amazing, check out their seasonal selection. I got the caramel apple latte which seemed very unique but ended up being SO delicious. The Americano is smooth and well made - not sour or bitter. The barista is also the owner (i think) and super sweet. Will tailor your drink to your liking. She didnt fret when i made several customizations on mine, as I am lactose intolerant and can only have half the caffeine. Give this spot a try if you haven't - support local! read more

My friend picked up some cupcakes from here for our meet up last weekend. She got me a Dulce De Leche cupcake and it was delicious. I love Dulce De Leche so I may be biased. But she loved her chocolate peanut butter one. We both agreed they were moist and the perfect amount of sweet. She got a coffee as well but since she didn't get me one as well, I can't comment on them. I will definitely need to go there to get another sweet treat and try more flavors. read more

Such a nice coffee shop! I highly recommend getting the brew-chata latte, it was so good. They add Salvadoran horchata in the drink, yum!! I can't wait to come back! read more

This place was absolutely more than what I bargained for. I got the Aztec mocha & let me tell you it's one of my favorites. The people that work there were very friendly and unlike other coffee shops where they call your order for you to pick up they brought it straight to my table with a warm smile I'll be coming back here soon the drive from Anaheim will be well worth it. read more

Quant little mom and pop cafe in Monrovia. Went here for some afternoon coffee. - Service: Good. The lady that helped me was very nice. It was in the middle of a lunch rush and they stayed composed and relax while being helpful! - Coffee: Good! I got the Dulce Cielo Latte with oat milk with 50% sweetness. I think everyone should do 50% sweetness always because you won't even taste the espresso if you don't adjust it, it'll be too sweet. - This is a good place to chat and catch up with a friend or even just read a book. read more

Tried the cafe de olla and Azteca mocha, both iced. The cafe de olla is the better of the 2. Recommend the cafe de olla! We got 2 cupcakes and some cookies. Cupcakes are average. Cookies are also average. The mini hazelnut wedding cookies are the best! Highly recommend. Price point is a bit steep. Would come back for latte and skip the baked goods. Service was great and the shop was quaint. read more

Stopped by to grab some coffee and sweets while in Monrovia and am happy that I did! Service was quick and friendly! I absolutely loved the dulce de leche cup cake. The cream cheese frosting was to die for and the cake itself was super moist! I also had the Aztec mocha (coffee). It was on the sweeter side, but still had a great flavor. Can't wait to try more cupcakes next time! read more

Dulce Cielo - Specialty drink upon request...Banana, Mocha, and Peanut Butter! - Bakeries Near Me - Monrovia, California

We've been waiting for this shop to open for AGES and now they are yay!! Decided to come in on National Vanilla Cupcake Day to celebrate. Their cupcakes are so soft and moist and lovely! Their wedding cookies are delicious and traditional - location is historic and so cute and the owner I met, Veronica, was SO NICE!! All in all a great new family owned spot in Monrovia. Normally I have to drive all the way over to Pasadena for fun flavors of delectable cupcakes so I'm thrilled to see Dulce Cielo! We tried the strawberry vanilla, vanilla with chocolate icing, chocolate banana, and the chocolate with fudge syrup. We also tried the wedding cookies and the chocolate hazelnut cookies. The vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing was good but didn't taste like chocolate at all- I actually thought it was Dulce de Leche bc that's exactly what it tasted like lol. The chocolate banana was my FAVE!! Oh it's so good and has a nice strong banana flavor well balanced with the chocolate. Loved it! And the chocolate one with the fudge syrup on top was great too. The strawberry vanilla cupcake was my least favorite. The texture is wonderful with real, actual strawberries inside which is great - but there's just not much strawberry flavor in it - it was bland. So I wouldn't get it again but all the rest are fantastic. The cookies with both fantastic - they're shortbread cookies and very well made. If you like shortbread, these are fantastic. I've never cared for shortbread but can definitely appreciate the quality of these and my hubby loved them. Inside is cozy and clean with nice views of busy Foothill in Monrovia. They have a large drinks menu as well - lots of coffees and teas and more. Really my only complaint is the price of the cupcakes - they're almost $4 each which to me seems high. But they're good quality and tasty and on par with what you'd find in Pasadena and the like. Of course I feel like that with every price tag I see nowadays anyway lol! Their location is fun - it's inside the historic Aztec Hotel on famous Route 66. I got to chat to one of the owners, Veronica and she was just so sweet - said they were under construction for 3 years haha - yeah we've definitely been wondering when they would open bc they've had their sign up for a long time lol. Parking is street parking or the Aztec Hotel has a private lot to the side. Very happy to have them! Welcome to the neighborhood and see you again soon! read more

A Salvadorian twist. This is my second visit to Dulce Cielo. I had to comeback. My first visit here was great. The owners are Salvadorian and they put their own Salvadorian twist to their recipes. On this visit I had their version of Cafe de olla and I asked for it iced of course. It was delicious. I paired it with one of the in house baked strawberry cupcakes. All their pastry offerings are baked in house. So to me that's a huge plus. I haven't had and of their warm food offerings yet. But I will soon. On my first visit I had the Dulce Cielo latte iced with oat milk with a piece of their carrot cake. The carrot wasn't too sweet. Just sweet enough to know that I will be having it again. The Dulce Cielo latte was incredible. I wanted that latte to last me all day. The best way I can describe it is that it was silky smooth. It was so tasty. When you're watching them make your beverage. You can tell they take a lot of care on what they are serving you. And after talking to Veronica the owner today. You can tell that serving a quality product is important to her. If you ever find yourself in Monrovia or any of their neighboring cities, you should definitely stop be Dulce Cielo. You won't regret it. I can honestly say that I have found the best coffee in The San Gabriel Valley. read more

Their treats are so good. They made a custom cake also for my party and it was perfect, just like the picture I sent. I always judge by how many are left. My husband and I barely got to taste the desserts because they were almost all gone read more

The bakery is located off Foothill. I went in to browse their cupcake selection. The lemon blueberry sounded great but they were out. Instead I tried the strawberry cupcake. It was really good - moist amd not too sweet. Also comes in a cute box. Think would also make for a great gift. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Absolutely loved this bakery! Amazing customer service and the owner was so sweet. I got the banana cream latte which was 10/10 and cupcakes ~ Red velvet, dulce de leche, strawberry, and coffee. I got them for my co-worker and I and we are obsessed. Sweet and savory. Just the right amount of flavor without it being overpowering. I also got a chocolate chip walnut cookie that feels super moist and is thick (heavy). It was so cute inside and had tables set up if you wanted to enjoy your coffee/ treats inside. Definitely the type of business you want to support! read more

I stop by here monthly to grab a cupcake for my baby's monthly birthday anniversary and have had a positive experience so far. Each cupcake is about $4 and most of the flavors are solid. We have enjoyed the lemon, strawberry, dulce de leche, and chocolate. Overall the product is fresh and moist. read more

I almost don't want to write a review in fear that this place will have 20 minute wait times like grey and cash, but I also love it so much and want to make sure it stays open. The drinks here are sooo good and you can smell it as soon as you walk in. They take their time making the drinks and it tastes like it. read more

The very best place to go for pastries and service I love this place the coffee and tea are the best also. Gary l.

The cupcakes were delicious and full of so much flavor - real fruit, just the right amount of sweetness, but not too much. I got the pineapple coconut, Oreo, chocolate birthday cake, and strawberry cupcakes. Their chocolate hazelnut wedding cookies were amazing! read more

Every day is better with cake and Dulce Cielo does not disappoint. Bought four cupcakes, coconut butterscotch cookie, pecan pie bar, and dulce de leche cheesecake. Still trying to decide which was my favorite. The blueberry cupcake had a delicious lemon icing and the coconut cupcake had pineapple filling. The flavors were on point and the perfect ratio of cake to frosting. I will definitely be back. Also the counter person was very helpful and pleasant. A great addition to Monrovia! read more

I LOVE this place. Everything is so so good. I had a bagel sandwich that was absolutely delicious. I also had one of their signature lattes, cinnamon whisper, that was so yummy. This place also has beautiful cupcakes and other sweet treats. Can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

This is a new business in Monrovia located in historic Route 66 at the Aztec Hotel. (Foothill Blvd & Magnolia) One of the sister owner/bakers, Veronica, explained they had just opened Saturday and this was after 3 years of construction. Excellent service as Veronica gave us a rundown on all the flavors and goodies they have. This shoot is beautiful inside, clean and smelled amazing! 2 croissants, 4 cookies and a coke was $12.50. The traditionalMexican Wedding cookies were awesome and delicious. My daughter enjoyed the coca hazelnut cookies. Regarding the croissants, I tend to like mine a little heavy on the butter flavor and I don't love an egg wash that I can taste. Having said that, they were really tasty and flaky. We will definitely go back and try all the cupcakes a couple at a time. I sincerely hope they do well. They seem like a great family with golden baking skills. Can't wait to try a ham and cheese croissant! Too many options for a gal like me who will carb out. I can assure you, as a family we will be here often! Good luck.

Decided to come here since I was looking for coffee places in Monrovia to hang with a friend. Came across this on Google Maps and decided to check it out. The exterior is very pretty and decorated well. There was accessible street parking nearby- what was interesting was that I got here at 8:40 AM on a Sunday and the place wasn't opened yet. I thought to myself, the hours must be wrong online. Turns out the owner just came late which is a bit unusual. Alas I just ordered a chai latte and honestly it was a bit disappointing. The milk was overpowering and the chai was watered down. Perhaps the coffee is better here but my experience wasn't the greatest. The owner was very sweet though and helped us get adjusted to outdoor seating. They also sell wedding cookies and cupcakes here so perhaps I need to give them a second chance. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come here again considering there's a lot of competitive coffee shops in this area. read more

I usually drive to Pasadena to get a quality cupcake, but was interested to see what this new place is like. All I can say is WOW. Like wow. It is exactly the way I like them, and blows any cupcake I've had out of the water. They are the right amount of moisture and perfect flavor. The carrot cake is a must have, almost reminded me of flavors in baklava but it in a carrot cake moist form. Amazing all around, 10 stars! read more
