Such a gem in Glendale!! Amazing coffee, a nice place with tables and outlets, its perfect for studying or grabbing a coffee on the go. I loved Ani, huge thanks for my cortado.

Early morning coffee cravings deserve better than the generic spots on every corner. This place stands out. If you're in a rush, ordering online for pickup makes everything seamless and efficient. Metered parking right out front makes it even easier. The coffee? Just right. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what I needed to start the day. One small note: for online orders, I'd request it extra hot next time. Easy. Convenient. Good coffee. I'm in.

Love the for here mugs.

Wow. Oh wow. What a great little gem. This place was amazing and the prices even more amazing. Must stop in if you get the chance. Great atmosphere and great staff. The cute coffee art is an awesome added touch to my beverage. We tried a few different drinks and let's just say it is "chefs kiss". Or barista kiss. Ha ha. If you get the chance to try it let me know how you liked it. I just love coffee.

Salmon Toast w/Mashed Avocado Blue Jasmine Matcha Latte
Kristina A.

Visited: 1/9/26 Salmon Toast w/Mashed Avocado: 9.5/10 Absolutely delicious! This is the best salmon toast I've ever had. They were out of their usual bread, so I got ciabatta instead, and it was great. The portion of salmon was very generous and super fresh with a fantastic flavor and perfect seasoning. There was also plenty of avocado, so much that both the salmon and avocado were spilling out of the ciabatta. However, the more I ate, the more I wished there had been a little more bread or less avocado, as the ratio became somewhat overwhelming. Iced Blue Jasmine Matcha: 6/10 It was an ok drink, but I wish the matcha flavor was stronger. The butterfly pea tea overpowered it, and the drink tasted a bit watered down as a whole.

Elderberry Hibiscus Iced Tea
Elise B.

It was busy inside with people eating or working. I ordered a Blue Jasmine Matcha Latte & iced elderberry hibiscus tea. The blue jasmine matcha latte came iced with almond milk infused with jasmine tea and butterfly pea flowers. The color was bright and pretty & it tasted great! They are dog friendly too. Parking- metered street parking

Coming up....on this hot coffee shop review. Ideology Coffee is a charming coffee gem nestled on the busy Central ave in the heart of downtown Glendale. They offer a wide array of flavorful coffee and tea drinks as well as food dishes. Upon entry you'll quickly notice its interior has plenty of natural light and serene vibe. Moreover, you'll be warmly greeted by a friendly staff. I quickly perused their menu and ordered their Cold Brew Lavender and Chicken Melt Panini sandwich. Drink was refreshing and food was warm, crisp and bloody amazing. This coffee shop offers free wifi and sell some coffee bean bags. Prices were competitive. Service was ridiculous spot on. Plenty of street metered parking. Overall, I was ebullient with their coffee and food. And it's a must-visit spot in the area.

This is a cute coffee shop on central Avenue. It is a small store with several tables to sit enjoy drinks, food, work and study. Service was good. I didn't have to wait for a long time for my drink. I ordered an iced latte. It was not sweet at all and was good. Some coffee shops make the latte too sweet, but not this location. I had a pleasant experience in this store. Prices are compatible with the other stores in the area. It can be busy in the morning, I visited in the afternoon. There was no line and several people were working on their computers. I would suggest going to this location, if you're looking for a quiet place to study. I didn't notice private parking lot. There are plenty of metered parking spots. I would recommend this coffee shop, if you're looking to try something different than chain coffee shops that are around every corner.

Iced Blue Jasmine Matcha with Almond Milk
Allison P.

A cute little coffee shop in downtown Glendale! I got their Iced Blue Jasmine Matcha with Almond Milk- easily one of the prettiest drinks I've ever gotten! A super interesting concept. I got floral notes from the Jasmine tea, creaminess from the milk, and just a tinge of earthiness from the matcha. My only note is that the matcha could've been a touch stronger, but otherwise, a great choice! Being one of the few coffee shops in the area with seating, Ideology Coffee is the perfect spot for a little coffee date. They have plenty of seating options littered around inside. Come grab a sip and stay awhile.

Blue Jasmime Matcha Latte
Aureli R.

The bagel with avocado, chives, cream cheese, and capers is excellent and I've enjoyed it the few times i've gone. The matcha here is a bit too bitter for me, and I make matcha lattes at home without sugar fairly often. The main reason I rated a bit lower is because I feel the service is always very brisk and the cafe's atmosphere itself is kind or cold and uninviting. I end up leaving immediately once i'm done eating, or sooner, because it feels very awkward inside.

2 coffees and bagels
Куаныш С.

We visited Ideology Coffee in Glendale Place today (09/25/25 around 1:00 pm) and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We ordered 2 coffees (latte and cappuccino) and 2 bagels. Not long after eating there, we both felt unwell and experienced food poisoning. We hadn't eaten anywhere else that day, so I suspect the milk may have been spoiled. The service was also unpleasant. The cashier (a young woman at the register) was very impolite -- when we asked about sandwiches, she rolled her eyes and didn't offer any helpful recommendations. The only positive I can mention is that the location and interior are very nice. You can tell that someone invested a lot into creating a beautiful space. Unfortunately, the service and food safety don't match the quality of the design. Sadly, between the poor service, questionable coffee quality, and the fact that we got sick afterward, I cannot recommend this place.

Chicken Melt
Leanna L.

No line around 2:30 on a Tuesday. Place is very bright and clean, but it was rather warm inside due to the sun. I got the Iced Peach Blossom Matcha Latte with oat milk and honestly it didn't taste like much of anything. It didn't taste bad, it was just bland, and I could barely taste the peach blossom that they said was made in house. The chicken melt was crispy and warm, but similarly lacked flavor and I wish it had more sauce. 3/5 stars for okay tasting items and fast service. Will come back to try a coffee/latte at some point since I live nearby.

First of all, if you haven't been to Montrose, this was my first time, I highly recommend a visit. Main Street has an old-time feel, with plenty of cute restaurants and interesting shops. One of those restaurants is the black cow Café. The menu is very diverse with plenty of healthy and vegetarian options. I had the black bean burger, and it was delicious. I had planned on ordering the bean chili. I really appreciated my server who asked me if I ate meat, the bean chili did have meat in it even though it didn't say so on the menu as far as I could tell. She could've easily just taken my order, but instead she took the extra step to make sure I understood what I was ordering. All in all, I had a great experience here and would certainly recommend if you happen to be in the area.

Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café…read more Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café reminded me that we live for the wonderful experiences that remain to be discovered. After a wonderful lunch date with my wife at Raffi's Place (please read my review and thank me later) in Glendale, I decided to look for the perfect dessert. After scouting several nearby locations, I decided I was in the mood for a great cinnamon roll. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café looked like the place that would deliver the experience I was seeking. SDLBC is listed as being in Glendale, but it's located in the historic Old Town of Montrose. That's beside the point; I only mention it because there are additional places to explore just up the street. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and there wasn't much of a selection left, including the highly sought-after cinnamon roll. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us warmly, and I immediately asked if that was all the pastries they had. He said yes. I contemplated leaving because of the nonexistent cinnamon roll, but I didn't want to be rude, so I decided to give the bakery a try since we were already there. So, we basically took half of what remained behind the glass display case: a Peach Almond Croissant, a Raspberry Pistachio Croissant, an Almond Croissant, and then my curiosity focused on a few lonely-looking pastries that were unfamiliar to my discerning eyes. I asked the gentleman what they were, and he replied with something that sounded completely foreign to me: Kouign-Amann. Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ah-MAHN) is a traditional pastry from the region of Brittany, France. It is often considered one of the richest pastries in the world because it is made with just a few simple ingredients in generous proportions: bread dough, butter, and sugar. Figuring we needed a few more sweets for the road, we took all the remaining Kouign-Amanns. Two were the traditional version, and the other two were filled with crème and blueberry jam. We also ordered a Café Americano and a Café Mocha. While we waited for our drinks, I simply couldn't wait any longer. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I eagerly opened my gift and dug right into the Kouign-Amann. Hesitantly, I tore off a tiny piece with my fingers, expecting nothing extraordinary, and instantly gave birth to a brand-new experience that exploded in my mouth. The crisp exterior gave way to the soft, flaky center, followed by waves of what tasted like delicate honey. I tore off another piece and shared it with my wife. One look at her eyes told me she wanted more. By the time our drinks were ready, we had devoured one of the Kouign-Amanns and confessed to the gentleman behind the counter that we had just experienced pure ecstasy in the form of a pastry. Kouign-Amann is, in fact, one of the richest pastries in the world, so don't let the unfamiliar name keep you from trying one. The Café Americano and the Café Mocha were also exceptionally well prepared. With everything that's happening in the world these days, a simple yet profound experience like this reminded me how wonderful life can still be. Like Arnold said... "I'll be back." Enjoy!

I stopped off and had to have the chocolate mousse sponge cake. It's gluten-free and I will tell…read moreyou they have a lot of really delicious things to try. The croissant selection is incredible. I love the indoor seating, but they also have outdoor seating. I washed it down with a short Americano, two shots and I threw in some extra cream. It's delicious. The coffee has a nice mild flavor, but nothing beats the sweets. I have to tell you this chocolate mousse cake is the right portion otherwise I would eat the whole thing in this case the powers that be more wise and gave me a slice and Man was it delicious.

What surprised me most was how much I enjoyed the food because I wasn't necessarily expecting such traditional Mexican flavors. But honestly, one of the best ways to judge a Mexican restaurant is by the salsa--and their salsa is seriously good. On our second visit, I ordered the carne asada plate, and my wife got the beef fajitas. Let me start with the carne asada: the flavors were authentic, the meat was delicious, and the handmade tortillas were a standout. They were so soft and fresh that I honestly think they were one of the reasons I kept going back for another bite. Everything just worked together. I also tried my wife's beef fajitas, and they had some really good, bold flavors. The vegetables, beef, and seasoning all came together really well. Overall, we've really enjoyed both experiences here. Great Mexican flavors, fresh handmade tortillas, excellent salsa, and food that feels authentic and full of flavor. We'll definitely be back.
