    iced vanilla lattes
    Kristin M.

    this coffee shop is really unique and has an interesting environment. the store front is practically open door (more like open window) with a small botanical garden in the front. parking is very limited so park on the street, it's free. the drinks.... were okay? i originally wanted the chai but heard it's very ginger-heavy so i got the vanilla latte instead, for 8 dollars before tax. despite being able to see the vanilla beans at the bottom of my cup, it was very lightly vanilla flavored and only semi sweet. i didn't end up drinking it completely. ambiance wise, while the view is nice and the interior is very cohesive and MCM-inspired, it does get very loud during rush. i was sitting by the window stools with my friend and there were times where we could barely hear each other. the open-door concept also doesn't block out any loud noise from the street outside like fire trucks or anything. so i wouldn't come here during the busiest hours if you are looking for somewhere to work or read.

    Tried the vanilla latte, PB cookie, and chocolate croissant. The pastries were sweet and fresh. They use large chunks of ice so the latte does water down quicker, but the cashier did note that the vanilla latte does not have a strong vanilla flavor. Overall, the ambiance is calming, the employees are chill, I was able to relax, get some work done, then sit outside where it got breezy.

    This (presumably) based off the Truman Show coffee shop stands as a wink iykyk spot in Montrose disguised with its cleaners exterior. There is limited attached parking in their back lot but free street parking on the side street its attached to. My dad and I came by on a weekday morning and this was decently packed. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and the interior of How's It Going To End? though it isn't much. Service was polite and quick. Matcha latte (iced) 3.5/5, this wasn't bad for a matcha latte and while it did have a decent strength to it, I just felt like something was missing? I think I would order this with some sort of sweetener for me to enjoy it more in the future Cinnamon Morning Roll 3/5, this was just okay and mainly because there was an unexpected orange citrus flavor that overpowered the cinnamon throughout the pastry

    Matcha and iced coffee w cream too

    How's It Going to End is a fun coffee shop located in a former dry cleaning shop with an open and retro concept and desert landscaped patio! We stopped by on a Sunday morning and could tell it was a popular neighborhood spot. There was a short line but it moved quickly. There's some seating available but is limited. This is a nice spot to relax and chat but not really ideal for working. There is a very small parking lot on site but there's street parking available. Love the fun lighting in the bathroom too! I tried the iced matcha latte which I really enjoyed - just the perfect sweetness and not too sweet, and felt really refreshing on a warm day. Matcha quality was not bad too. Their iced vanilla latte was solid as well. Would also recommend the raspberry fairy pastry which is a crispy and fresh croissant with a sweet and tart raspberry filling - soo delicious! Downside is their drinks are a bit on the pricey and slightly smaller side.

    Beautiful re-use of a retro dry cleaning business, this coffee house is a nice addition to the Montrose coffee scene. Landscaped with native plants, it's a great place to have a coffee and relax. I also love that they saved the old signs! The coffee itself is just okay, tbh; the cinnamon roll I ordered was hard as a rock (but they said the day's pastries hadn't arrived yet.) On my second visit, the chai was actually delicous and highly recommended. The prices are not cheap, although inflationary pressures may be partly to blame. Free parking in the lot, as well as street parking.

    Saw this REALLY nice Facebook post of places to check out in the La Canada/Montrose area. I love checking out neat looking places that serve coffee. I've driven by this place hundreds of times and I always thought it was an actual Regal dry cleaning place! Who would have known that all this time, it was an actual coffee joint. Free parking lot, but also plenty of free street parking. Once inside, I was surprised how small it was. Very neat and clean with a few products to buy besides a limited drink menu which was very pricy. I love a good matcha with foam which cost $8.00!! It was good, but not good enough to pay $8.00!! That was one expensive Mothers Day Matcha!! Service was fine. A few seats inside and outside to sit. Would I come back? Nah... been there done that...

    Nice aesthetic, mid coffee

    How's it Going to End? Apparently with me wondering why I could barely taste coffee in my cream top. Discovered this spot through The Nudge and was charmed by the whole dry cleaners turned coffee shop vibe. How adorbs! Came by after my daughter's swim class with the husband. I got the cream top, he got the mocha with cream top, and neither of us could taste the coffee. For $8 a cup, I expected espresso, not glorified milk and chocolate. The pastries were solid. Our toddler loved the ham and cheese croissant, and the biscuit with jam was fine. Nothing mind blowing, just.. fine. Everything came in to-go cups and bags without asking, even though we planned to stay. There's plenty of seating, but it lowkey felt like they didn't want us to use it. Kind of a bummer to see other folks get their stuff in nice glasses and plates. Cute concept. Mid follow-through. Probably won't be back.

    The ambiance here is unmatched in the area. You get a laid back oasis with a view of the foothills that is particularly beautiful on a misty morning. Their matcha latte is delightful and their cream top is a treat I often stop for in the later morning. It's especially enjoyable when you are able to get it in a glass to stay. Great spot to meet up with friends or conduct a brief business meeting. And the staff is friendly and quick.

    Breakfast cinnamon roll (right)
    Dave T.

    Coffee is good, the cinnamon breakfast roll is crazy good! Something of a cross between a cinnamon roll and a kouign Amman. Very sweet. Very flaky. Love it! The location away from the street and the outdoor seating make it the best place to hand out in all of Montrose/La Canada/La Crescenta. Now if only more "regular" people went there and fewer "hipsters" (if those even exist in Montrose).

    Very unique setting outdoors excellent coffee great service love our local business to support. Many idles to choose from baked goods. Very modern cool setting inside and of course outside it's beautiful place old dry cleaner, regal dry cleaner, but they kept everything the same except the inside must try.

    Espresso
    Adriana K.

    The coffee was outstanding. Love the old dry cleaners building - it makes it a bit more difficult to find the first time, but it works. I wish there was a bit more parking as getting in and out can get sticky if there are multiple cars. But the coffee was great, we liked the way everything was served, and my husband especially enjoyed his espresso.

    Vanilla latte
    Lilly X.

    Cute coffee shop in a repurposed dry cleaning location. Coffee was pretty good, nice landscaping and open walls that make the shop feel like an enlarged patio. Good place to sip and chat, or do some quick journaling. But not good for extended laptopping due to minimal seating and a tiny parking lot (limited street parking on Park Place). Bathroom has A LOT of tiles. Will stop by from time to time.

    My cafe date fell asleep on me but we still enjoyed the visit.

    Fun place to check out. Nice aesthetic, coffee is a bit overpriced in my opinion. I only go there for a treat once in awhile.

    Aesthetic is cool. Service was whatever. Coffee was way overpriced for what it is. $9 for a regular latte is insanity.

    We started with the French fries and the portion was good. They were golden, crispy, fresh, and…read morepaired well with their really good ketchup. My wife ordered the tiramisu latte and said it was delicious. We also tried the Italian pizza topped with arugula, burrata, and prosciutto. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Personally, there was a little too much arugula for my taste, but it was still really good overall. The absolute star of the meal was the spicy chicken sandwich. One of the owners even came up and told us he eats it every day, and after trying it, I completely understand why. The bread was toasted perfectly, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the melted cheese brought everything together. It reminded me of an amazing buffalo chicken sandwich. Easily the best thing we ordered, and honestly, I'd eat that sandwich every day if I could. We also finished with the bird milk cake, which was really tasty and a great dessert to end the meal!

The guest of Honor, Ronnald M from Orlando Fl, is as sweet as the house made desserts in the display case. My lovely gals, Te-See & Rosie, joined us too, which made the gathering more fun. The entranceway is stunning - marbled floors, a gold staircase, and a gorgeous cascading chandelier. There is a side room that is also lovely and a lounge area upstairs. Monica was our server and she was an absolute delight. (Jordan was also darling.) Our order consisted of Pistachio Toast, Croissant with butter & jam, Honey Cake, "Rafi" Coffee, Chai Latte, Iced Tea, and a glass of Prosecco. The Pistachio Toast was made with charcoal bread topped with a lightly sweetened pistachio spread and fresh strawberries & blueberries. It was tasty. The Honey Cake was like a crepe cake. It was good and not overly sweet. The Prosecco was crisp, light, & refreshing. Before we left, we had a nice chat with the owner, Tony. He was very friendly and told us they were working on opening a location in Florida. That made Ronnald happy. He also mentioned they have live entertainment on the weekends starting at 7:30 pm. *Free 90-minute parking in the structure across the street. $2 every hour after.

They have some nice seating and tables on the side of their building down that same residential street and they also have umbrellas for shade which is nice. Walked in and what a beautiful cafe! You immediately notice all the musical instruments which makes me think they have live music some times. Ordered at the counter and asked what their "RAF Latte" was and the guy mentioned it was for the customers who wanted them to be more on the sweeter side and less strong so I went for their Horchata latte. Took a few minutes to get my drink but as soon as I saw it, it looked absolutely delish! And it was. Super creamy, still on the sweeter side but the creaminess is what I loved most about it. Still strong enough for my liking so I would definitely come back and get it again! IG: @ammysalamii
