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!

Delicious, affordable cupcakes, with frozen themed frosting they turned out perfect! Thank you Veronica and Emily!

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.

This place lives up to the hype of new trendy LA ice cream places. I love their motto of "Not too…read moresweet", a phrase that is a high compliment in the Asian-American dessert community. Their flavors are very unique, with yakult and misugaru being some of the stand-outs. They also have fun toppings like mochi and sago! I really liked the service because each staff member was very accommodating and let us try as many flavors as we wanted! They also gave us some stickers to take home :) Loved the late night vibes and all of the fun board games they had laying around for people to play!

It's giving late…read morenight vibes especially with being open from 7:00 PM until 11:00 PM / midnight and the moody lighting. A line formed right before they open with dedicated customers waiting patiently. Seating is very limited and many people take their ice cream to go. Families, young adults, teens, grandparents- people of all ages come here. Atmosphere is cool, decor is fun. I'm amazed about the flavors they've concocted. During this visit they had condensed milk, mango sago, yakult, black sesame and Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee is spot on (I should know I'm a viet girl who gets her viet coffee from time to time). Mango sago was delicious and yakult's flavor was perfect, too! The condensed milk- I couldn't really pick it up flavor wise but I'm thankful for having it along side the viet coffee which balances out the bitterness beautifully. The consistency of the soft serve is impeccable. The topping choices are *chefs kiss*. So Asian, so beautiful. Service was great! They let you try out the flavors before purchase . Luckily they don't have a lot of options so it didn't take forever while waiting in line. I heard they rotate different flavors every week and a half or so. Get ready to come by when the weather gets warm!

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!

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.

Their bingsu and toppings all blended so well together it felt like I was eating a Chinese/Korean açaí bowl. It felt like a very light dessert and I could keep eating more of it.

Lots of mango pieces covered with passionfruit jelly (dripped with mango and passionfruit puree). You also get a scoop of ice cream (flavor of your choice) ) on top of your bingsu, and I chose vanilla. Very refreshing on a hot day! There are a handful of seating inside, so can be pretty crowded when busy. Good value as the large portion size is plenty to share for two. Parking wise, can be a pain in the you-know-what at this mall, especially on a weekend or during a holiday.

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.

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!
