Left to right: inside of the Dulce de Leche, Strawberry Vanilla, and Red Velvet cupcakes
Alice Y.

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.

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!

Brew-chata latte and Dulce cielo latte
Jasmin A.

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!

We were greeted with a warm welcome that followed with a smile as we entered. Found this spot on tik tok and the good reviews were so vaild. We ordered the Azteca Mocha and the Cinnamon Whisper Latte both 10/10 stars!

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.

I love this place! The food is cooked fresh and very tasty! The service is wonderful and the staff are always friendly! They make a great chai latte! They also have freshly made dog treats and provided bowl of water for my service dog. The ambiance is very sweet and comfortable. A place you can sit and read while you eat. I stop here as often as possible. I highly recommend Dulce Cielo!

Aztec mocha iced coffee
Ashlyn R.

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!

Specialty drink upon request...Banana, Mocha, and Peanut Butter!
Dennis W.

This is my favorite coffee spot of all time! Veronica started making me a custom latte upon request that I. now have to come and have EVERY day so long as I'm in town lol. Try the banana and mocha latte on ice but ask to add peanut butter and you will thank me later!

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.

My haul for National Vanilla Cupcake Day!! (11/10/23)
Hannah S.

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!

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.

See all

626 Ice Cream - Lychee strawberry and Hojicha

626 Ice Cream

My wife and I came by to 626 Ice Cream earlier this month to redeem the deal from the SGV Passport…read more It was for a Buy 2 get 2 free deal and it included toppings. I wrote a review a year ago and wanted to update it as it was still a 5 star experience for me! They open at 7pm and there were already people waiting in line. The shop rotates flavors often and the soft serves are all good! This recent visit was great! The staff let us sample per usual and explained how we could redeem our offer. My wife ended up getting 4 different flavors. The Blueberry Fig (dairy free), Mandarin (dairy free), Nian Gao (red bean) and one of my favorites the BLACK SESAME! We were able to choose 2 toppings each and we got them all with lids as we were going to take the other 2 home. They also offer some of past flavors as pints and we took home the Coconut Pandan (dairy free) that one is tremendous, btw! The location continues to be one of a kind from the tables and seats to the unique flavors of soft serve! Customer service is still great and the flavors are elite! Thanks again, 626 Ice Cream! ( ^_^)b

First time visiting--I drove 45 minutes to check it out, and honestly, I don't think it was worth…read morethe trip. I tried the blueberry fig and the mandarin flavors, and the blueberry fig was WAYY better. The mandarin was just too tart for my taste. As for toppings, I really liked the mochi and almonds. Service was decent, and the ambiance is cool and vibey--it feels like being in a wine bar, but for ice cream. I do appreciate that they're open late.

Finally tried this place after passing by so many times…read more My friend and I shared the 2 pc kinako with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Total came out to be $6.35 including tax. It was a lot smaller than we expected, but we didn't take a good look at the pictures. I would NOT recommend sharing unless you really don't eat much. The mochi was good, but my friend was obsessed with the ice cream! I took a star off because the plastic spoon and flimsy container made it very difficult to eat. Taste wise it was good though. Service was quick, nothing to note about that. Ambiance...it's a small kiosk in a mall so very casual spot. I would definitely stop by if I visit the mall again but it's not somewhere I would go too out of my way to go to. Definitely a good place for dessert since it closed at I believe 9 pm!

This review is only for the overpriced drink Ive tried. I ordered their matcha yuzu cloud lemonade…read more After tax is almost $10 for a large cup. I was excited to see how special it can taste to charge this price. Sadly, I am very disappointed. I only can taste a very sweet lemonade flavor and even after I mixed in the matcha cloud I can barely taste any matcha flavor. And I am not sure where the yuzu flavor is at all. I only can taste a very traditional lemonade flavor. Honestly I think this drink super overpriced for just a regular lemonade drink. I would give this drink a 1 star but I do like their warabimochi so I would leave it at 3 stars.

Cafe Sweet has been in my Yelp list for a while. Finally, I stopped by. The parking lot was…read moreconvenient. It is shared with other businesses, but I didn't have any problem The cafe is a small family owned business. It was clean and organized with indoor seating. It has inviting and relaxing vibes. The menu includes; various assortment of tea, milk tea, three color dessert, smoothies, matcha, fruit tea, coffee, and espresso. In addition to tea cakes and muffins. They offer also some savory snacks. The cafe was clean. The young lady who received our order, was very nice and friendly. They had an offer to buy two drinks and get the third free. So, we ordered the following; -Mango Strawberry Smoothie 5/5 The tropical flavor of mango mixed with sweet strawberry gave the drink creamy flavor and velvety texture. It was heavenly. - Strawberry Matcha 5/5 The drink was perfectly sweetened and refreshing. Then, we found out that if you buy six items from the bakery, you get the seventh free. We ordered the following from the bakery; - 3 carrot Tea Cakes 5/5 I really enjoyed this carrot tea cake. It had coconut and raisins. The texture was incredibly soft and rich in flavor. It's a must try! - 1 apple cinnamon Tea cakes 5/5 - 2 Almond Tea cake 5/5 - Chocolate Muffin 5/5 We enjoyed our drinks and the fresh tea cakes and muffins. This cafe is a hidden gem in Arcadia. I will definitely come back to try more drinks and enjoy their delicious tea cakes.

Comfortable and cute cafe located in a small plaza in Arcadia, Cafe Sweets has it all--noodles,…read morepastries, snacks, drinks, and cute, well-kept fish tanks to look at while you wait for your order. We ordered a mango smoothie, a camelia milk tea, and hojicha latte. The milk tea was great, just the right sweetness at 75%. The hojicha was so good! 50-75% recommended. The smoothie was lacking flavor for me, so I wouldn't order it again. It's a newer restaurant, with great promotional deals right now to check out. There's also tons of seating! Great spot to meet up with friends and family, or for a quick stop too. Can order through kiosk or at the counter. I'm planning on coming back to try their food and more of their drink menu!
