Staff were nice. My order total was $30.94 for 5 items. Matcha Sweet Cream Top (3/5) - $7.50 The matcha latte was standard, nothing crazy. It had a nice flavor, but I can't say it was one of the best I've had. I got regular sweetness, but probably could've done 75%. Vanilla Lavender Latte (4/5) - $6.75 Got this one with 50% sugar. I'd probably go with 75% next time. There was a nice balance between the coffee and lavender flavors. White Peach Oolong (2/5) - $5.00 This one wasn't bad, but the flavor was extremely subtle. It didn't really taste like anything. Sugar Bun (4/5) - $4.50 Sweet cinnamon croissant bun. It was pretty tasty. Butter Croissant - $4.25 I didn't try this one.

I particularly love the Unicorn's Dream, Malibu sun, and All that jazz. Honestly everything I have tried over the years is a winner! I usually order with boba as well and it's the perfect consistency. There's booth and armchair seating inside, along with a couple Instagram-ready photo ops for you and your drinks. Restroom in the back available upon request (shared with neighboring shop). As of 4/19/26, Cup of Cha is temporarily pausing their stamp card program because someone took their stamp. The associate was very gracious and said since I was so close to reaching the free drink, he would comp it today. Excellent customer service despite a less than ideal situation, so make sure to tip nicely! I hope stamps can be reinstated next time I visit.

The Smoking Spaniard is my favorite and go-to from here, but their Banana Milk Latte and Corn Milk…read moreLatte are also great! Coffee is always strong and not too sweet. Their savory pastries are some of my favorite! Not to mention their cakes and chubby basque cheesecakes... so basically all their baked goods. FYI, they're also on TooGoodToGo if you get lucky! I appreciate their app and rewards program as well, as I'm a regular at this and their MP location.

I ordered 4 coffees and they all come out without label on the cup so if you order a lot to go, be sure to ask which one is which. I ordered large size but the size is like medium size to me. Price is high. Also latte came out without mixing so you have to shake it but again the lid doesn't have lid stopper which I have to asked for that. The Place is small so you are sitting pretty close to other party. Parking is the same parking lot in 168 market so it's challenging sometimes.

The toffee was a nice touch and I really enjoyed that the cream had real banana in it. Big fan!

Music wasn't too loud or distracting, so very conducive for working or chatting with a friend!

They certainly have a diverse menu that rotates and it seems they are in the specialty coffee / matcha lane.

YALLL THIS HAS THE BEST COFFEE IVE EVER TASTED!!…read more The vibes are so calming and the pastries are so fresh and delicious, I ordered the Valley Girl Latte hot and the foam was heavenly and the milk so sweet, and the egg and cheddar muffin was 10/10 Can't wait to keep trying their seasonal items too, also Karen was super sweet and super helpful when recommending me new items and she makes the drinks really well, adjusting my drink if asked and really skilled in speed when there was a long line The ambiance is also super clean and really nice people all around i've never felt so welcomed and comfortable, highly recommend

I'd like to start off by saying that before today, I've raved to everyone about our favorite local…read morecoffee shop, and would've given this place 5 stars, no questions asked. Sadly, one employee can quickly change that, and I'm writing this in hopes that management helps them better understand how to properly deal with each individual situation. My husband and I go in for drinks and food, anywhere from 3-5 times a week, and we gladly leave tips in the jars, because up until today, we had nothing but great experiences. Today at about noon, I went in and ordered at the register. I ordered my husband's large drink, and order my REGULAR drink, paid for an ADDED shot, and asked if it could be placed in a large cup instead of regular cup, with extra ice. No issues ordering and paying. Even left a tip in their jars. I move over to wait for my drink and the girl making the drinks (short curly hair) finds an issue with me asking for a large cup and tells me that is an upcharge because it's more plastic and it's an inventory issue, and I'd have to pay for a large drink. Really? At first I think that perhaps she's under the impression that I want more of the drink or extra ice on the side perhaps? so I proceed to explain to her that I want the same amount that comes with my regular drink, but just want extra ice and space for my added shot that was paid for, hence the larger cup. She refused to budge and tells me it doesn't matter, that I have to pay for a large, even though I had already paid and the girl taking my order has no issue with this. Her attitude towards the situation was so bizarre and I wonder if her inability to process what I was explaining is what caused her to be so "firm" on this, but I left feeling so disappointed and frankly, not sure if I want to return. Possibly losing a customer over what you think is a 50cent "thievery" seems like bad business. UPDATE: within minutes of the review posting, Isaiah, the CEO personally called me to apologize for the poor experience and promised to look into this to make sure it doesn't happen again. He was also confused, since he assured me that is in no way company policy, and offered to void today's transaction. Thank you for making us feel heard.

I was debating to…read moreorder other items but that sample just left me with such impression and I had to order it (perfect sweetness and perfect ice) While waiting, my husband found me and ask what am i doing in a spa needless to say, the ambiance is definitely a world apart from other places.

I enjoyed every part of the drink. My friend ordered the calamansi drink, and that was really good too--you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The line wasn't bad when we arrived. Even after 9pm, the place was still packed, but service was quick and efficient. One thing that caught me off guard was how dark it was outside--there's not much street lighting. Not sure if that's intentional, but it did feel a little off. Overall, it's not something I'd constantly crave, but it's definitely a spot I'd happily come back to.

We finally stopped by the bakery in Duarte to sample their signature beverage and pan dulce. Their…read morecafe de olla, was served hot, a nice blend of cinnamon and sweetness. We bought an elote, tortuga and can't recall the third piece of pan, and alfajores. The elote was delicious, I love that you can see little specs of cinnamon, soft and tender and vanilla scent. The tortuga was a bit more spongy, fragrant, and nice balanced of sweetness. The alfajores were buttery, crisp and smeared with dulce de leche. I needed a bday cake and decided to order the strawberry shortcake, because it looked so pretty. The cake was a hit with the family. The frosting was super light, the filling is one layer of custard and the other of light whipped cream and berries. The sponge is moist, the cake is not sweet, but decadent in its creamy texture. The inside of the store is aesthetically appealing, traditional glass cases showcase the pan. I'm so glad to have a nearby bakery and cake shop!

While I am very…read morehappy about this (I love Cafe de Olla in Monrovia), getting coffee and a pastry post-workout might very well become my routine if I don't exercise enough self-control! Like some of the reviews already mentioned, this location is more of a "grab and go" type of place. They have a solid selection of cakes, pastries, and drinks. If you are looking for their full breakfast menu, the Monrovia location down the street is where you would want to go! When I visited, they were celebrating their 1-year anniversary with an outside table of samplers. They had a balloon arch outside to signal to the community that they are celebrating something special as well. The lady out front shared with me what they had to offer, and she also mentioned that they do catering! I like my coffee strong but also on the sweet side. When I asked for the stronger option, I was recommended to get the cappucino rather than the latte and they can make the caffeine a little bit more concentrated without sacrificing the flavor. The cookies were a little dry for my taste but maybe it was because the samplers were sitting outside for a little too long. I would go back just to try the breakfast sandwich, but the experience of grabbing food was pretty fast and the food was flavorful enough! Excited to have a closer Cafe de Olla to me and wishing them so much success!
