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.

I'm sorry, but a coffee shop with no wifi in 2025 is diabolical. Nothing extraordinary about their drinks..$8 lattes. Staff is very friendly. Don't be weird-- get wifi. read more

Ambiance is ok. The space is open but weirdly felt like they didn't utilize it properly & there were few tables & chairs inside. The outside setting felt awkward & you can't really chat with a group of you since the benches are facing one side. Most of you would have to stand up if that makes sense. It was also dusty as they get busy during the weekends so more seats inside would have been better. The most disappointing part is their drinks. We got two different lattes and boy were they either diluted or bland? It was sour and just oddly tasting. Like someone there decided to charge $8 for a watery drink? I'm not sure how they ruined it so bad lol but it was also very expensive. The 4/5stars reviews here must be their family or friends because there is no way anyone would think their drinks were even remotely GOOD at all. The staff were friendly although we felt rushed getting our order. Overall it was not the greatest experience and we won't be back. Wish they get at least the beverages right for how much they're charging. read more

The coffee is always good. the people who work here are always quick and kind. It also has a really cool decor.

Honestly the baristas here always have an attitude. The coffee is good, but it doesn't justify never getting greeted back. The building is nice, there is parking. But we try to avoid this place. read more

HIGTE rules!!! Go support this local coffee shop!Great bevs, beautiful space, can't wait to hit some of their events.

Glad the neighborhood has a place like this. Ambiance is unique. Coffee was better than good. And pastry was exceptional. Will go back just to hang. read more

Just visited for the first time since they opened. I was pleasantly surprised to see they added some baked goods to go with their coffees since that was not originally available at the beginning. My latte was delicious!! Given the busyness of a Thursday morning, I would have appreciated more tables and chairs. Many customers (myself included) used the landscape rocks to sit on. read more

Beautiful aesthetics, bright and lively, breezeblocks and succulents, love their glassware if you're going to stay a while, but i'm a bit disappointed at the lack of alt milk options (they only do oat, no almond). My partner's coffee was a bit watered down, and I was a little bummed at the oat milk latte (oat can be a little oily/filmy), but it's a beautiful cafe and I hope they continue to grow and expand the menu. read more

Ten dollars for the worst matcha I've ever had in me entire life. Btw bugs are everywhere. Only okay thing is the vibes

cute spot with good creamtop matcha, my go to for a quick drink! their pastries are also really good!

Loved my latte it's a cute place with all the vibes!!! Definitely coming back!!! Besides the barista made a Chapel Roan reference if I wanted my drink hot to go, and it made my day read more

Some of the best coffee in the area, and a welcome alternative to the omnipresent Starbucks and Coffee Beans. The staff are kind and attentive. The vibe is serene and open -- plenty of sunlight and seating overlooking the distant mountains. The cappuccinos are delicious, the pastries from Friends & Family Bakery are divine. I strongly recommend the quiche and the ham Gruyère croissant. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I wasn't sure where it was at first since there was no clear sign, but it is in the building that has the laundry sign. Came here on at noon on Wednesday, and it was busy! We ordered a Matcha Latte and a Chai Latte. Matcha: 5/5 the drink is not too sweet and has a grassy and slightly bitter taste. Will definitely order it next time I am back here! Chai: 4/5 the drink was a bit spicer than I was expecting but still delicious. The inside is simple and cute. Will be my new go-to spot! read more

The espresso they use is flavorful and robust. The service is straight forward and the ambiance is very trendy. My favorite is the huge pumpkin that they have inside. read more

Beautiful mid-century modern design, excellent cream top (I recommend it on an iced coffee), sadly no wifi.

This place is really cute but they don't really have too many options to choose from flavor wise. I tried the matcha and it was great. It tasted like a ceremonial grade and I loved it. However, we got the vanilla latte and it was soooo sour. We first got the decaf version and it was completely undrinkable. We took it back and they said the decaf can have a weird taste (which I've never heard of before) so we got regular coffee instead. Even with the change, it was still super sour!! It literally went in the garbage. Disappointing :( read more

I went to this coffee shop because I saw it all over my tiktok feed and was excited to try the matcha latte! I was a bit disappointed as my almost 10 dollar drink was watered down even after I paid extra for oatmilk. The interior however was aesthetically pleasing, very modern with large windows, and the service was fast. I wouldn't recommend coming here to study or get work done as there is no wifi and limited seating inside. read more

Stopped here after a recent trip to Descanso Garden and enjoyed a very nice cup of coffee. The shop is located in an old Regal Cleaners building and there is no signage that this was a coffee shop, but I'm glad we found parking and walked across the street to investigate further. Attentive staff, pleasant modern interior, and a pretty decent latte, makes How's it Going to End, a win in my book!! read more

So disappointed that it closed early. Drove all the way from Long Beach as part of our Descanso Gardens visit.

Not enough parking. Waited in line for almost 10 minutes on a Saturday to order a $6 latte and then pay 10.25% tax on top of it. The latte had a source taste to it and overall it was bland. There was nothing nothing special about it. Weird vibe. Will not be going back. read more

Guys, the customers are NOT local..it's all staged...‍ Below mediocre quality..I've been watching closely since they opened..pass by almost every day, tried coffe/pastry a couple of tomes...it's so FAKE... read more

HIGTE is my new favorite coffee spot, and it's so nice to finally have a place close to our home in La Cañada (one of the worst food cities to live in)! The ambiance there is phenomenal, and there is a great outdoor space to just hang out. I love meeting friends there and having a 1 on 1 business meeting there. Our dog loves the outdoor space, too! If you're nearby, stop by and try it out. Love their selection of pastries and the simplicity of the menu Also, the owner, Michelle, is an awesome person! I am so glad she is trying to turn the Montrose/La Cañada hospitality scene around. read more

Chill ambiance and tasty matcha. Beautiful view of the mountains from inside or outside. Only complaint is that it's pricey (even for LA). read more

How's It Going To End - Iced matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

Coffee is solid but definitely way overpriced. Hard to justify dropping almost $20 for two lattes. It is a fun spot to check out but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here or anything though. It's not a place where you would typically sit and read/study since there is no wifi and seating is mostly situated outside. If you live in the neighborhood, I do recommend at least checking it out once just so you can cross it off the list. read more

I was really excited to try the espresso tonic and unfortunately it was not for me. My barista did warn me and was nice about helping me pick another drink. I did love the other drinks I got. The shop is an interesting vibe with a beautifully designed patio. Be aware it's almost impossible to tell it's a coffee shop from the street! read more

It tastes good enough (like coffee) but man is it overpriced. A small vanilla iced latte with oat milk is $9 -- thats crazy. The ambience is very charming and well designed but I just can't get pst that price for what is otherwise a pretty regular coffee read more

I ordered cortado $5.00 with an extra shot $4.50, total $9.50, cancel my order, i wont be coming back. Other coffee shops charge $1 or $1.50

I really liked the ambiance in here, not too loud or quiet. People were talking or doing work. The service was really nice so that's appreciated. I tried the matcha latte and vanilla latte. The vanilla latte was perfect, it had just enough sweetness whilst also having a robust espresso flavor. The matcha had a good flavor but i would say it does separate rather fast. The price is pretty steep so it's not the most affordable but once in a while i think it's worth it. read more

Beautiful space, def one of the more aesthetic coffee shops in the neighborhood that is such a sleepy town. As someone who moved from the city to the suburbs I miss these kind of spots. Was very excited and hopeful. We got a latte and americano and both pretty horrible lol! Was reallly hoping it would be like Maru coffee Might as well get coffee any where else. Croissant was good. Service not bad but not memorable either Other than aesthetic overall very average. read more

I'll tell you how's it going to end... With a great cup of coffee from this place! The owner, manager and the crew are amazing. If you know Food & Beverage, you know that you just can't build a place like this from day one. It takes years and years of working front of the house, back of the house and owning a business to understand a place of such caliber and detail. The baristas are all kind, friendly and professional, The architecture is absolute mid century perfection that opens up into a stone garden / landscape that's sublime in the morning when sipping on your drink. The coffee is sourced from some of the best producers in the industry. I usually drink an Americano that tastes like coffee, chocolate and fruits but I've had their drip and it goes down like a fine tea, Very well balanced. Also do not skip out on their decaf. It's damn good! Glad HIGTE is my morning place... read more

I've visited twice and love it! It's so nice to have an independent coffee shop with cool design in Montrose. Great spot for meeting friends for a coffee for sure! Would love more food options as both times I've visited they have run out but the drinks are perfect. read more

Wow, people are so quick to hate. If the prices bother you, don't get your coffee there. We have nothing like this in the neighborhood. We should feel grateful that new businesses even come up to the foothills. We need more stuff like this! The owners took a for sale mid century drive through cleaners and turned it into an absolute gem. They kept most of the architecture intact, developed the grounds with native plants, and are offering a beautiful new space to the community. It's dog friendly and extremely welcoming. It's very convenient right off the 2 and close to downtown Montrose. read more

I love the space! What they did to the old dry cleaner's was very creative and it has a great vibe to the place!! Service was not amazing though.. most the staff seemed tired and overworked and I was pretty disappointed in my coffee. I was hoping I found my new fave nearby coffee spot.. but alas, it was not to be. It can get fairly crowded during the wknd but otherwise good space that hang out on a nice day! read more
