Rating for Study + Remote work: 5 out of 5 stars!…read more Ordered the mango matcha latte with 50% sweetness and it's perfect if you prefer to taste the hand-whisked matcha but still have some sweet flavor :) Service was good - got served right away and the worker was pretty chill! Came at around 11am and needed a place to do some remote work and had plenty of seating to choose from. There are outlets for the seating close to the bathroom if you need to charge devices, and the free WiFi works fine! No music was playing when I got here, so it's great if you love to have a quieter environment to study/work in. They had bunch of pictures of dogs around the cafe, and this provided some motivation whenever I needed some extra serotonin during my focus session lmao Will come back when I need to work remotely in this area :)

Came here because it was feature on the SGV Boba Passport. The choices were one free fruit tea or…read moreone free boba milk. I decided to try the orange green tea and my sister ordered the pudding boba milk. The orange green tea was really refreshing and tasted like fresh oranges. My sister enjoyed her drink as well. Parking is not too bad here but the parking spots is a bit tight.

More like a 4.5 but one of the better boba places. I truly love the assortment of drinks they have…read morehere, it's one of the few places where I find it really hard to choose because I want to try everything. It's also super customizable, you can make any drink into a slush! And many of their drinks include fruit bits, which I crave. The only thing I'm not a fan of is their popcorn chicken, it's not very battered and crunchy. It's also white meat. It doesn't taste like the traditional Taiwanese popcorn chicken with Thai basil, so it kind of let me down. From pictures, the nuggets look like they'll fulfill my need for crunch. But the regular spicy was a perfect level and it includes chili flakes like chili oil has. Small parking lot but I've never had a problem finding a spot.

The owner is always so sweet and lets me customize my sandwich and drink, so that it's to my liking. They do have alternative milks and lactose free creamer so even if you're vegan, there will be a drink for you. The food options are vegetarian friendly. She also shared her story with me, that it's been tough getting foot traffic to her store, so if you're able to come by and try her tasty croissants and some of their drinks, please consider it! It's never too noisy in Valley Cafe, although they do keep a radio on. They do have WiFi but only one outlet so come with your devices fully charged. Service has always been kind and thoughtful though!

I had a lovely experience at Valley Cafe (El Monte). I ordered the Pandan Cream Coffee Latte ($7 -…read more24oz - Iced). This vibrant cream rekindled memories of nuts and delicate vanilla. This fresh, delicious coffee woke me up, and I couldn't contain my smile. TASTY! (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 50 cent processing fee for all card transactions.) I arrived at Valley Cafe (El Monte) on Tuesday (around 12PM). Parking is very easy because the rear lot is big. However, I felt a little uneasy as unfortunate homeless people wandered nearby. Honestly, I felt anxious about approaching this business because it's located in such a worn down area. I am so happy that the positive recommendations were genuine. Staff is very welcoming and hardworking. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff gave wonderful recommendations. My drink took four minutes and 19 seconds. Good time! As mentioned, I ordered the Pandan Cream Coffee Latte ($7 - 24oz - Iced). It's DELICIOUS and HUGE! It perfectly balances utility and flavor. I embraced its loving caffeine. And I happily enjoyed the silky, chill brew. I love how the flavor of fresh coffee shines while also delivering such a delectable pandan, nutty flavor. It's one of the best! On ambiance, Valley Cafe (El Monte) has some utility. There's customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for the details. However, there's only one electrical outlet near a tall counter. Fortunately, there's a gender neutral restroom for customers in the back. Valley Cafe (El Monte) is also very clean. The floors sparkled! And the location is small, but it's comfy. There's about four tables and one counter. Light upbeat music played. Overall, I am humbled by Valley Cafe (El Monte). It's a perfect textbook example of "Don't judge a book by its cover." There's passion and sincere care within this establishment. The coffee is also phenomenal. If nearby, I wholeheartedly recommend. 4.9 out of 5

Service was okay. Mango Green Tea (50% sweet) - Tangy with a slight sourness and not overly sweet. The tea adds some subtle floral notes. Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie - The yogurt flavor isn't very strong. The strawberry tastes a bit artificial and leans more tangy/sour than sweet. I did enjoy the crystal boba, and the consistency was good.

I love the asian twist on the ice cream sandwich with bolo baos! If you order a bolo bao, they reheat it for you. You can choose two toppings for free and you can sample flavors. I couldn't decide between jasmine or lavender so i did half of each. My favorite was definitely the lavender as the jasmine wasn't as strong as I would prefer. They have a few tables inside to enjoy your treat. I think crispy and fluffed deserves more recognition and I wish them success!

Food & Ice Cream: 5/5 This is no ordinary ice cream spot!…read moreThey specialize in bolo bun (pineapple bun) ice cream sandwiches, so if you love both pineapple buns and ice cream, this place hits the spot every time. I'm so happy they're still around! So far, I've tried the sesame, Coffee & Cookies, and Nutella Cookies & Cream flavors. I love that they let you sample the ice cream before deciding. Once you choose, they make the bolo bun ice cream sandwich fresh for you and can even cut it in half if you want to share. Customer Service: 5/5 The sampling makes it easy to explore different flavors without committing right away, and I appreciate that they're happy to cut the sandwich in half for sharing. Location & Parking: 5/5 The shop is tucked away on the side of a shopping plaza, so it can be easy to miss. There's plenty of free parking available, though, which makes stopping by convenient. Ambiance: 5/5 It's a great little hangout spot with seating and games available. The atmosphere is usually quiet and low-key since it hasn't been very crowded during my visits, making it a nice place to sit, enjoy dessert, and hang out. Overall: 5/5 Such a unique dessert spot that I'm happy is still around. The bolo bun and ice cream combination keeps me coming back, and I'll definitely stop by whenever I'm in town!
