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

Joker's Koffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

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

The best people in town making the best coffee in town! These two owners are so sweet and so damn good at their job. We are now friends with how often we go here. Highly recommend! 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

Favorite place to get their orange chicken I just love it and the owners are such nice people

Don't pay with card they charge you $5 fee. Slow, staff rude. Restroom smells. It's over priced for everything. Food is expensive for lack of flavor and everything read more

Good coffee warm pastries and good service. Clean and quiet around 8pm at night. Had a quiet moment with the wife.

I have been to this place a few times to study. It is very quite and when you get hungry they have great food as well. I have tried the chicken teriyaki plate and cheeseburger. They also have great smoothies and some nice strong coffee. Their prices are very reasonable. The place has almost anything you need! The women at the front who makes the food and drinks is very nice. She is very welcoming and makes everything taste great. read more

The clerks have a bad attitude Moldy Spoiled yogurt！ Never gonna spend a dime at this ridiculous store Today is January 15 and it literally says expired at January 15 10:55AM, and I bought it at afternoon. if I could give a zero I definitely would. I almost throw up at the store read more

Joker's Koffee - Wow what's in the yogurt? Freaking moldy yogurt - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

The iced coffee here is pretty bad. I like my coffee black and cold (like my heart) and the taste was terrible. It felt like I was drinking an ashtray. To top it off, the bottom of the cup was full of coffee grids, which I guess was never filtered out. My wife had the tea and she said it was fine, so maybe stick to tea here. Also, maybe rename this place to Joker's Tea... read more

I love the service. This is my onigiri dealer spot I feel how this place feels, I feel like home because they are so nice.

Came in on a Sunday morning. The bakery case was sparsely filled with what I later realized were leftovers from previous days. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant. The latte didn't have any coffee flavor, just a strong syrupy vanilla flavor. I thought that was weird because there were plenty of coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup. The beverage was filled about 80% of the way and the lady behind the counter gave it to me with a boba straw. Gulp! The chocolate croissant was big but after taking the first bite of the stale brick, the size was more curse than blessing. In the end Jokers Koffee was laughable. read more

Nice study spot located next to Arcadia high school in the honeyboba plaza. It's a coffee shop with convenience store items, selling studying foods like chips, small cakes, drinks, and pastries. Great study spot on the weekends, but wouldn't recommend it after school on weekdays Came here on a weekend and a weekday. Really liked the large area and there's multiple outlets available throughout the shop. I especially liked it during the weekend, since it was completely empty and I was able to get a lot of studying done. I wouldn't recommend coming here during a weekday between 3-5. I don't know if high school kids are becoming more loud and obnoxious, but it's such a pain after school. Expect kids coming in and out, talking extremely loudly about nonsense, and a bunch of fobs singing. Yeah... typical Arcadia high school stuff nowadays. read more

Came in on Saturday before seeing the new Star Wars. The place was empty but we just moved to town and wanted to try out a local place (you know, support the local economy). We don't get the negative reviews ‍. It was nice-looking inside, clean, the cashier/server was nice and the coffee was good. read more

Met the husband and wife owners, they are absolutely lovely and took the time to educate me about the coffee they carry. I love that their almond milk is unsweetened! They have a great variety of food, boba, and coffee options. Perfect place for a quick refresh! read more

This store does not provide receipt and charge you 20% tip automatically. I was here to get a drink. The lady was not outside till I was about to leave, she greeted. I saw the tip selection and it disappeared before I click, and I signed and asked, "I haven't chose tip", which I thought I did not pay tip. She said she clicked 20%. Instead of giving me receipt, she turned around to make coffee, and kept telling me how great their coffee is. Well, my drink has no taste of coffee.. Sad.. Worse than my k cup at home.. read more

Thumbs all the way up (this review was from December when I came here with a friend and got a Thai iced tea). The owner was very friendly, personable, and speedy! Next time I am by the Santa Anita mall, I will be sure to stop here for a latte. read more

Went here for Vietnamese coffee it was the best! Amazing staff and amazing drinks and snacks

Super cute small business, I used to go here after school in high school so it gives me nostalgia :) A nice couple runs the shop and my favorite things to get is a Thai tea and spicy crab rice ball. read more

First time here and Experienced a great service. The counter guy (I guessed he is the boss) is very nice and caring. He answered my questions patiently and give me an extra cup to taste the sugar level with my drink. I ordered the hot Okinawa milk tea with boba. It's soooo good ~ I love the tea smell and the boba is very chewy. I definitely will be back again! read more

Been coming here for nearly 6 years, quality has remained consistent and the food is always tasty. Love it here

I like Vietnamese coffee and smoothies here; it is not overbearing and made right. Also, the croissants are really good on those cheat days. I love how there is open seating to study or catch up on work. The lady that works there is friendly and caring. She makes sure you like the drink before you leave; she'll make you another one if you don't want it. Reminds me of my mom when she would wake up early in the AM to make coffee, besides the remaking part if I didn't​ like it. I was on my own for that one.​ read more

Went this evening for the first time and I was not disappointed, I ordered a tiger milk tea 10/10 and also a teriyaki chicken rice ball 10/10 absolutely delicious. The customer service was awesome, the man was really nice and caring. read more

Got an iced latte with extra espresso shots. The cashier lady was really nice. My coffee tasted well balanced with a robust coffee flavor and not overdone with the milk. read more

I checked in here with my boyfriend in the morning and he bought me a sandwich and a matcha frappe. Both were pretty good; the matcha frappe was light and refreshing while the sandwich was filling and savory. This place has improved significantly in the past couple of years, because I remember it being pretty rundown looking for a while. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and they offer a wide variety of snacks and meals. I'll definitely come back sometime whenever I'm in the area. read more

Have been getting the Vietnamese coffee from here for a few months now! The service is incredibly friendly and its also a great place to study and work! They have onigiri and very good made to order coffee. Will definitely continue to come back read more

I was looking through the reviews earlier and I think i should preface by saying that if you're complaining about the environment and make an effort to highlight the fact that the asian owners/staff can speak decent english, then you are probably not a local 626er. Granted, you're not going to get fantastic coffee that is on the same level of hipster coffee shops. But if you're looking for good coffee in the 626, then you're in the wrong area. The best coffee in LA will most likely be in DTLA. Anyways, I digress. Here are the strengths: 1. Busy hours for this store is during the week days (they cater to AHS students) 2. Wifi seems to be very strong (ATT) 3. They have a lot of asian snacks and american snacks (most likely got it from Costco) 4. Great for studying, applying for jobs, and making small talk Here are the weaknesses: 1. Coffee is average (I got a iced mocha latte, feels a little creamy but it could just be the mocha flavor) 2. their assortment of baked goods is minimum so I recommend eating your meal first before coming to this coffee shop. OH, and if you use credit, it is a $5 minimum. If you are below that, they will charge you 25 cents. read more

This place was clean and empty. I ordered an iced mocha latte to-go. It was not bad. I liked that the tables have outlets to charge cell phone or laptop if I ever decide to use it. read more

Joker's Koffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Great boba, and the female employee behind counter is exceptional. New found gem for boba and coffee!!

3 stars to be generous that its a new establishment and they have ample seating with windows all around. Atmosphere: Asian man speaks English, Asian woman barely. Random Asian chips and candies, along with Costco granola bars. Abundance of soft drinks and juices in cans. A lot of empty seats for studying/chatting. Ordered $3 decaf soy latte. Decaf was Costco ground coffee, not expresso. Soy was whole milk. Yup, whole milk. **A WARNING to LACTOSE intolerant ** I watched the man make my "latte" -- he poured whole milk into my cup. I politely asked him if it was soy. He responds "no more soy, whole milk". He failed to notify me there was no soy as I was ordering and proceeded to just make my drink assuming whole milk would be fine. I had to repeatedly ask him "you have no soy?" in confusion to why he even took my order if there was no soy. When I tried to explain to him that I cannot have whole milk, he brushed me off by turning his back and saying "yeah yeah". Asian communication, I get it. With my persistence, he did replace my latte with coconut milk. Otherwise, I'd be too sick to write this review. Good luck ordering your coffee. read more

This place is gem. I feel the other review on here is from a competitor from next door (ahem). I mean who complains about having windows all around. I talk to the English speaking man, he's just trying to make a living. If you don't like your drink he'll fix it, free of charge. The place is clean and lid up. Plenty of table to study and a lot of Asian snacks. They have some fresh mile tea made with the real stuff. No powder. There are places to charge your laptop and phone. They're is music for your enjoyment. They have expresso machines to make lattes too. Give it a try read more

We wanted to grab drinks and food so we can have a little picnic at the park. This place was nearby so we decided to give it a try. The inside is nicely decorated. There was a long table that would be good for groups. The service was just okay, nothing special. We ordered a black iced coffee and toffee latte. Both drinks were not good. The flavors were off and tasted weird. We couldn't even finish it and just threw it away. We also got a teriyaki bowl and beef bowl. Both were just average. It was mainly rice. The side salad that came with it was just lettuce with ranch on top of it. We spent around $30 for 4 items and it was not worth it. read more

The fries here are plain, even though they sprinkled spices on top. When you bite into it, it's dry, bland and you can't even taste the potato. The "seasoning" is like powder and hurts your throat. Obviously by this time you know it's low quality frozen fries. Besides the quality of the fries, it took about 8 min for us to receive the order. Which got me thinking, they ran out of frozen fries and had to put in a order immediately. Everything here is also overpriced considering most of the items they sell are outdated, some even molded (from other reviews). The staff have bad attitudes and aren't professional (they were on their cellphone while taking my order. AGAIN, everything is OVERPRICED. Also, on the side note, the staff saw me while I'm writing the review and started given me dirty looks every 5 seconds. So yes, above is my point of view on the fields they can improve upon. read more

Ordered teriyaki combo. When I asked if he was microwave because I heard it beeping he said it was an oven. I told him I would prefer to cancel my order he asked for me to trust him and said it was very good. It was not. It was the worst teriyaki I've ever had. I wish I would have canceled my order. It was barely edible. read more

For coffee lovers, this is not the place for you. The coffee shop offers a variety of drink options, but they do not live up to their name. It seems as though the drink menu is comprised of quick mix drinks. The menu also offers food items which include sandwich's and a few pastries. There is nothing special to the pastries, it seems as though you could buy the same ones at Costco. The only redeeming factor of the establishment is that there is a wide variety of Asian snacks and drinks. The coffee shop is next to Arcadia high school so it's a good place for teens to go to, not coffee lovers in search of a good cup of joe. Would go back for some snacks but not the coffee, which is weird since it's a coffee shop. read more
