this place is insulting. i don't ever leave bad reviews but i just received my ubereats order and there is something wrong with every item. the cream cheese bagel has almost no cream cheese. it has maybe 10%? of what a normal cream cheese bagel at any other donut shop would come with. you can't even taste any cream cheese. not only that- if i ordered this at another donut shop AND paid for extra cream cheese it would still cost less than what i paid for here. lol the coffee is not filled to the top (80%) and the ice is extremely light. if they added two more full scoops of ice, the cup would be *almost* full. they couldn't just do... that? to make it appear more full? the bacon cheese croissant is severely lacking ingredients. i'm not surprised though after eating the bagel and seeing the coffee cup. would never come back or recommend this place to anyone read more

Finally posting this. I haven't tried the food here, but their coffee is good. I personally like the Vietnamese Coffee and my fiancé likes their slushes. read more

I have been going to this Mom and pop shop since high school!!! For reference I'm now 24 :,) I've seen this establishment grow and remodel yet their rice balls remain the same. My favorite snack to get here when I'm in a quick need of onigiri is their teriyaki chicken rice balls. They have other flavors such as salmon, spicy tuna, spicy salmon..etc Maybe it's the nostalgia that hits whenever I eat these, but I enjoy them so much. The creamy flavor of the sauce along with the chicken all packed in a little onigiri, how can I resist??? While I know it's not the most unique life changing experience, the service and dedication of the owners and joy these little rice balls give me is something I had to share! A 626 staple!! Final Verdict: The rice(ball) is right!!! read more

First time here with a friend in the early morning. It's located in a plaza so the parking situation isn't too bad. Very spacious seating area, pretty comfortable and clean. There are many items to choose from the menu, some snacks and dessert on the side cooler sections. Make sure to order from the screen menu because the paper one is outdated with incorrect pricing. I was confused about being charged more. I got myself a Vietnamese coffee but it was not a full cup with light ice to be aware. The flavor is okay. Overall it was an okay experience, it's always nice to catch up with a friend no matter what. read more

Traveling to Covina California and I wanted a coffee so bad I Googles d the nearest coffee place. I figured why not give a small business a try. Sad experience or the Vanilla Latte with Soy milk the large see pic was $7.49 cents It was not all that. The coffee was mostly foam and sold me an small Danish for $3.49 Bad coffee Too expensive Not worth the value read more

Mom and pop coffee place with strong coffee. Service is fast and friendly. From the menu it seems they are vietnamese coffee place. They offer a selection of food as well. If you never had one before, this is a good place to try getting dropkicked by vietnamese coffee. read more

It's no Joke when I say I can't cope without caffeine running down my throat.So if you're on the same boat take a note what I'm about to flow so ya know. If you're looking for coffee that's more of a frappe or a smoothie then it's a go. But as far as specialty coffee then it's a no. I did try their cold brew which was kinda rough for the tastebuds but I took hard sips. Their Vietnamese coffee seems to be a popular choice and that too was a rough rowdy drink. It really wasn't enjoyable but if you need a fix of caffeine then yeah kinda. Beware of the prices! For a small it was six ninety five but when she rang it up it came out to almost eight bucks! I was like Hey! The price?! She said the owner forgot to change the prices. Not cool man! So not cool. They place has really no coffee shop feel and it just smells like stale food for some reason and there wasn't anyone there with food. So the Jokes on me on this caffeinated fail. And that's my take on it, Peace out peeps. read more

I had their Vietnamese Coffee and seaweed wrapped rice ball. Incredible. The coffee was semi sweet and strong. The rice ball was delicious. So much so that we went back in to buy the last one in stock. The man behind the counter was very polite. I came in 1hr before closing, so I cannot speak on the ambiance. Overall, I was happy. I will be back. 100% read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt like I had to share my experience here. This coffee shop was honestly one of the worst I've ever been to. I came in hoping to relax, maybe get some work done, but the entire visit left me upset and shaken. The coffee itself was terrible--bitter, burnt, and almost undrinkable. I tried to be polite and asked if they could remake it, but the staff member just gave me attitude, rolled their eyes, and made me feel like I was the problem. I've worked in customer service before, so I understand that everyone has bad days, but this went beyond that. They were flat-out unfriendly and dismissive. What hurt the most was how uncomfortable they made me feel for even being there. I left without finishing my drink and actually cried outside because of how humiliating the interaction was. No customer should ever feel that way, especially in a place that's supposed to be welcoming and calm. I really hope the management takes this seriously and treats people with a little more kindness in the future. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless things change drastically. read more

Had the Vietnamese coffee and WOW.... If you're looking for strong coffee and delicious strong notes with the perfect amount of sweetness.... This is the place to go... located on a corner of a small shopping center...the person that made my coffee was super sweet and professional.... read more

Delicious food with fun frappe options! The lady was very sweet and my order was ready very quickly! It is a nice little coffee shop near the park- super convenient if you plan to do a picnic! read more

Was curious about this place for the longest and I finally stopped by. I came this morning to try their Vietnamese coffee (M). I noticed that their menu has latte drinks and blended lattes (basically fraps). I'm not a fan of blended drinks in the morning but the flavors listed were interesting. I got my coffee and it was underfilled. There was a half inch gap from the top. The drink was fine and service was good. The Viet coffee wasn't made the traditional way so the flavor of the milk tasted different. Would return again to try other drinks. read more

The lady owner was helpful with my coffee order and let me use my own cup (gotta save the earth, right?) Extensive food menu and space to sit down. If you didn't know, even Sbux let's you bring your own mug...10c off. Try it and feel good about helping create less waste. I can't say I loved the coffee, but for all of the above reasons, I give this indy store my vote. read more

This is our go to place for a delicious Macha Frapp! Excellent service with a smile. Their snack section kicks butt, too! I love supporting this small business! read more

Stopped here randomly. The gentleman taking my order was extremely nice. I ordered a dirty matcha with soy milk and it was BOMB. So good. Also got an egg tart, delicious. I dont live here but when I come I'll be coming back. P.s I saw that they use groundwork coffee and that is bonus for me. Love that coffee read more

Service and coffee was so sweet!! The lady helping at the counter was truly attentive and helpful.

I like this place a lot. One of the few places you can get a fresh rice ball, Shrimp chips and croissants! The guy behind the counter is pretty nice too! Not the most modern shop decor-wise, but it's got a humble charm. read more

This place is a joke just like it says in it's name. I went in for a Vietnamese coffee and they made it with powder milk. What kind of coffee is that?!?!? That is a joke. Vietnamese coffee is condensed milk and Vietnamese coffee with ice but powder milk?!?! They lost a customer! When I asked nicely to fix it because it tasted like water, the cashier lady got upset and said it's the last time she will fix it for me and I made it come true because I never went back after. read more

The Vietnamese coffee was just perfect, nice and strong just the way I like it. The almond croissants are sooo good and very large yet affordable. The customer service is also really good. Cute little Cafe with plenty of space to sit. read more

Came back here again after a horrible experience, this place still keeps scamming people and selling overpriced junk products. I stop by with my friends just because this is the only place around the high school. Can't believe after so many years they still here with even higher prices read more

I do not recommend coming here. Staff and service are terrible and rude. I needed a place to work and sit (this was during after school hours after Arcadia High has been released, many students come here to this plaza to grab a bite), the drink shop next door was packed, so I came here instead. They have an odd policy, while I understand not allowing non customers to come in and sit unless they made a purchase. They told me before I sat down I must make a purchase first. I did do that, I bought something from them and then I brought a drink in from next door, they kicked me out, extremely rudely. I find this really frustrating and upsetting, especially with pretty much everything they have in their store is all overpriced. Overpriced for a mediocre quality. They also sell snacks at a high price to attempt to cash grab at the students of AHS. (A bag of chips being over 5 dollars) Their food is overpriced and bland, poor quality of ingredients, as well as the drinks. Their drinks are all made with different powders, which all can be seen with canisters behind the counter, labeled with the different powders. Their drinks tend to be small and really sweet too. Also considering the students that go around here, students don't always have this much money to purchase things and just need somewhere to sit. I feel like their prices and their "policy" is extremely restricting and unwelcoming, especially the staff always being rude and unfriendly. Because of these reasons, I no longer come here and refuse to ever step in. Their ambiance is alright however but that's only if you can experience it without being kicked out, or if you have money to even sit here. If you're really looking for a nice drink, I suggest checking out Tea Brick next door on the left instead, and try their drinks and better quality food. Staff is also are very friendly and helpful. read more

I came here for a quick snack, and I was hoping to find some good options here. When I walked in, I noticed that this place is spacious, and has plenty of seating. This would be great to come with a large group of friends after school or on a nice evening. There were several things for sale in their cooling units, but most snacks or drinks didn't really appeal to me. I decided to get an apple turnover, and passed on the coffee as I've already had enough that day. I got the turnover heated, and headed back to my car after checking out. The turnover was delicious, and did not sit to heavy with me. In fact, it gave me a bit of energy without giving me much of a sugar crash. The staff here was friendly, and they keep this place clean. I don't know if I'd be back here, due to it being far away from home. But it's an alright option in the Arcadia area. read more

Don't call yourself a coffee shop if it is a 15 minute wait for black drip coffee. The worse possible experience. Maybe it is good for the other stuff, but a drip coffee? read more

Been coming here for over 5 years. The owner and her husband are super nice and the rice balls are amazing! Big size & super fresh. I always crave these when trying other rice balls, nothing compares. For drinks, the Vietnamese ice coffee & Passion Fruit tea (with little sweetener) are my favorites. The Chinese long Donut and Taro Pudding are also great if you are in the mood for sweets. read more

10/10 love the ongiri here it's tasty fresh and maybe i'm a little bias been coming here since high school the owners always have treated me well they have plenty from hot food to snacks to drinks bottled/to be made boba or lemonade read more

Repeat customer in DoorDash and in person. You wouldn't expect it, but along with a whole family of products of Asian culture, they have HAM SANDWICHES!! Served up on a warm 6" bun, lettuce tomato onion cheese, better than ANY sandwich shop. Subway, Togos, pale in comparison! read more

SCAMMERS! do not come here. i don't know if they are racist or they spot out who looks weak but one of the ladies took my $10 dollar bill and only gave me $2 dollar change back. at the time i was so sleepy i thought i gave her a 5 dollar bill then realized i gave her TEN DOLLARS. of course after she took my money she walked off super quick and wanted to hide in the back for me to go away. don't come here unless you want to lose your money. read more

This is a local gem. The owners are the most hardworking friendliest faces around. They use Groundwork Organic Coffee. Everything else they create practically from scratch. The hidden ingredient in here is love, and you can taste that. The ambience is super-relaxing; casual and friendly. The almond croissants are HUGE. Did I mention they make fresh chicken salads as well? Not only that ; they created an APPLE croissant! It was huge! Not too sugary or greasy! Flaky and layered enough to rival the French! I also ordered a cappuccino and lavender milk tea with Boba. Cappuccino was dreamy; lavender milk tea was fresh and neither was acidic. Will be back soon... read more

This is a really cute and affordable little place across from the Arcadia Public Library. It reminds me of the campus cafes I used to go to for break snacks during college. Coffee is pretty good, some drinks are a little sweet and heavy but I expect that from blended drinks or Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai tea anyways. Lots of croissant options for a quick breakfast (which they will warm up for you) and I love being able to grab a couple of rice balls if I didn't have time to bring lunch to work (they're stuffed). They've also offer meal sets and lots of snacks and bottled drinks. Never been charged tip automatically, never not had an option for a receipt. They're friendly and efficient, and they're open from something like 6 AM to 9 PM. It DOES get a little crowded weekday afternoons when the kiddos are out of school, but I've never had to wait very long regardless and the kids are pretty well behaved. It's basically ideal for students or something quick for adults. read more

***WARNING*** Orange Chicken Bowl may not contain chicken, it's just bread fluff with orange flavor sauce. Granted that I had never ordered orange chicken from this place before and learned a hard lesson and that is to read the reviews before ordering! And now here I am posting this review to save you all the trouble from getting the orange flavored bread fluff bowl. I recall the lady calling out that my food was ready that "It's really good!" Don't put Orange Chicken Bowl in your menu if it doesn't have any chicken please advise prospective customers what the bowl truly consists of! They couldn't give me a refund! They said, "you order, I make" and "Not my fault that you don't like it" and they were just laughing at me and calling me "My friend". Gettt out of here with that nonsense. This has been a public service announcement brought to you by a dissatisfied and hangry customer who has never returned food in his 30 years of life. I will never go to this place again Joker's Coffee really is a JOKE. Just sad. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a great day. read more

Love this place - I've been coming here since high school (2012) and although they've changed ownership, the quality was not sacrificed. I love their rice triangles and always get them for lunch. It's usually better if you eat it the same day and not refrigerate it. But if needed, let it thaw to room temperature before consuming so the rice is softer! The store owner is always nice enough to custom make some rice triangles for me even though there are none available at the fridge. Those are usually THE BEST since the rice is still lukewarm!! read more
