    I've been here a couple times now when I'm back in the area and do think its nice we have a "fancy" coffee shop in the area. Its a smaller space so more pick up and go but they do have some space if you want to stay and chat or work. Staff have always been nice and friendly and they have a lot of fun drinks (both teas and coffees). I think I always try a jasmine based drink but the jasmine never really comes through. Otherwise, I do think their lattes and teas have been pretty good, just don't expect a strong jasmine flavor or fragrance.

    Cute little coffee place. Seems like alot of college students come here. I have been wanting jasmine coffee for along time ever since i tried it. And leaflet has it. You can Taste the jasmine in the coffee. So good. Furious george was also amazing. You can taste the banana and it doesnt even have the banana cream foam. It seems like they will remake you drink if something doesnt taste right as well because they asked if it tastes good. But im not sure since i loved mines. They have the cutest pikachu chillin on a shelf. If you eat or drink inside, there is a plave to return your cup or dish. No parking in front of store but you can park on the sides or in the parking structure. Thrres no bathroom inside but you can use the one inside the parking structure.

    This is one of several newly opened third-wave coffee shops in Monterey Park over the last few years. The coffee shop started at farmers markets and now the shop has the current brick-and-mortar location. [Parking]: There is a free parking structure behind the plaza so parking shouldn't be an issue; however, I did have to drive up to the third level of the structure to find an available parking spot on Saturday morning. [Amenity]: Not a huge coffee house with few outdoor chairs and six indoor tables. The shop was not crowded at 10 AM on Saturday, so it didn't take long for me to receive my order. There is no restroom inside the cafe, but keys for the outdoor men's and women's restrooms are available at the cashier counter. [Menu]: Unlike other matcha shops, this coffee house offers three different varieties of ceremonial-grade matcha (Kagoshima, Chiran, or Asanoka) from Fukuoka, Japan for customers to pick. Yelp's top three highlighted drinks are Furious George, Dear Jasmine, and Luxurious George. Please note that 2% lactose-free milk is the default and customers also need to choose one of two espresso options for lattes: light-medium roast (Manhattan - Ethiopia & Colombia) or medium-dark roast (Vietnam). For baked goods, they offer muffins and croissants & I even spotted an interesting items like kimchi & spam croissant. *** Furious George (2 shots of espresso, sweetened with cane sugar, flavored with vanilla and banana balanced by milk (2% Lactose Free, 100% Sweet, Regular, Regular Hot, Manhattan Blend Med-Light espresso - $7.75): A lightly sweetened solid latte. *** A good coffee shop for local community college students from East Los Angeles College (ELAC) to stop by and recharge.

    Leaflet Coffee is a charming café that's well worth a visit for its unique specialty drinks. The space is exceptionally clean and cozy, featuring a modern, aesthetic interior with a handful of tables that make it a great spot to enjoy a drink or get some work done. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the Luxurious George was prepared surprisingly quickly despite the matcha being hand-whisked to order. We also ordered their seasonal Vietnamese Coconut Latte, which was visually stunning, though I didn't get the chance to try it myself. **Luxurious George: 4/5** The Luxurious George, a banana jasmine matcha latte, was smooth and not overly sweet, allowing the flavors to remain light and refreshing. Fragrant jasmine took center stage, offering a beautiful floral aroma and delicate tea notes that paired nicely with the earthy matcha. The milk, however, overshadowed the matcha and made the drink taste a bit milkier than I had anticipated. While the banana was a unique addition, its flavor remained very subtle and was difficult to distinguish, leaving the jasmine as the dominant flavor profile. Despite not quite meeting all of my expectations, Leaflet Coffee left a great impression with its inviting ambiance and creative drink offerings. With such a unique menu, I'm excited to come back and discover more of what they have to offer.

    From the specially curated menu to the cozy indoor and outdoor seating areas, leaflet was lovely. I have to say I enjoyed the fact that they had two brew options, a light roast and a dark roast! I also liked that their syrups are made in house. I got a banana vanilla latte with manhattan roast (light roast) and it was good! I did appreciate the fact that I could still taste the coffee and it wasn't overpowered by the syrup and milk. As a banana latte lover I do wish the banana flavor would stand out more as it was very faint. The service was great, the drinks came out quick and we all enjoyed our coffees.

    Luxurious George
    Danya G.

    Where did the flavor go? I've been to Leaflet a few times, the last time sometime last year or early this year during winter. I've only had the Luxurious George (pretty good but $8+), both hot and cold, and told myself today is the day I'll try something different. I came in around 10:20 AM (Wednesday mid June), and it was pretty busy -- all seats were occupied (there's actually a good amount of indoor seating for the small unit), but there wasn't much of a queue, just two people in front of me. It was actually the only time I've seen it so busy, maybe because it's summer and the morning? During my past visits, I would stop by in the afternoon. Today I ordered The Blue Butterfly. It was beautifully layered. I gave it a good mix, and initially I tasted the flavors, but as I kept drinking it just tasted... bland. Mostly milk and barely any sweetness, which was kind of good, but I didn't modify anything (milk, sweetness, ice), so I wonder what lower levels of sweetness taste like. Prices range from $7 to $10, a bit above average compared to other tea and coffee places. Leaflet isn't typically my go-to, but it is convenient because it's nearby and they have early hours. But today was pretty disappointing. I don't know if there's been a change in their process or ingredients, or if it was just the drink I ordered, but I don't think I would come back soon. I was lucky to find parking immediately in front of the unit behind Leaflet. It was a 15-minute spot, but I was ordering for to go anyway. The plaza can be super busy sometimes, and the parking slots are pretty compact. There is also a garage in the back if you don't mind taking stairs and walking extra.

    I wanted a quick fix for my matcha cravings so I decided to come here since there were great reviews. Upon arriving, the server was extremely welcoming & friendly! He took his time in explaining the drinks to us with their respective options. I decided to go with their most expensive matcha ($8.95) since I am very particular with the quality. I waited around 10 minutes before receiving my drink. The drink was a vibrant green & appeared very promising. Upon my first sip, all I tasted was milk. I was quite disappointed. I didn't get the matcha taste that I was looking for. I was expecting more since it was their best matcha. I don't think I would come back again for their matcha, although their customer service was great.

    Staff is very friendly and helpful Has about 5 tables inside to sit and chat with friends. Some seating on the outside as well. I got the 2 shots of espresso, sweetened with brown sugar, jasmine flavor and your choice of milk (Lactose free 2% as default) I got the viet blend for my coffee and it was mild and wasn't sure strong. You have two options of beans for your coffee. One is stronger than the other and the barista will advise you of the difference. I can taste the coffee and the jasmine tea notes, which was very refreshing and pleasant.

    Super cute shop with limited seating inside. There are a couple seats out front too though. The shop is in like the middle of a plaza and the parking wraps around it. It was pretty packed when I got there on a Saturday morning but we got lucky and found a spot near the entrance. I think there's also a parking structure if the lot gets full I like that this place also offers a Vietnam vs Manhattan blend so you can decide how strong you want the coffee to be Furious george: 5/5 got this with the Vietnam blend. Surprisingly the coffee flavor wasn't too strong for me. I also liked that the banana flavor wasn't artificial Also liked the pandan with the Vietnam blend. Not as sweet as the other ones that I've had and more nutty

    Garlic Cream Croissant & Matcha Latte
    Maricar D.

    Wow!!! Wanted to stop by here for a quick breakfast and saw this on Yelp. I'm super happy to have come here and try out not only the matcha, but their bakery items too! There were only a couple of their garlic cream croissants left and some bakery items were sold out. There was a line but it wasn't too long or bad. The lady at the front was super friendly and also helped describe what type of matchas they use. I chose the top choice (started with a K) and it was a more balanced type. It was sweetened with my choice of oat milk, honey, and vanilla syrup... the taste was amazing! My boyfriend and I shared one drink and we enjoyed it so much. It was so delicious. I wanted more matcha after that! It was smooth and creamy. The garlic cream croissant was also crispy and soo fun to peel and enjoy per bite. I loved it a lot. It was super tasty. 10/10 spot and the wait for the matcha is worth it! Would love to come back again here with friends. Parking lot was busy and full but there's also a garage to park at for free.

    This is by far my favorite coffee house in LA. I recommend it to everyone I talk to and I am constantly walking around with a cup from here in my hand. The drinks are incredible, the lattes are rich with flavor and espresso. My personal recommendations are the 'Of Spice and Bees' and the 'Dear Jasmine'. Not to mention their croissants are flaky, warm, and tasty. The staff are incredible. Kind, quick, and likeable. I always feel at home when I walk in. And whether I grab my fix on my way to work or I sit for hours doing work on my laptop, I never get tired of this place. The music that plays makes the whole place feel cozy. The decor is super cute and I love their commitment to their community seen in the flyers posted around of different public events and community outreach. This is truly the best spot in the neighborhood.

    This is a very underrated coffee shop in the Monterey Park area! Conveniently located on Atlantic Blvd with nearby food, bookstores, and shops along the street, this coffee shop has accessible parking spaces. The shop itself is small and has suitable seating for their size but has a relaxed and comfortable environment that makes you want to come back. I have visited this shop multiple times, trying their different coffee/matcha options and I was always pleasantly surprised. I love their blend of simple and creative options that make you intrigued to try them based on the names (e.g., Furious George)! Their coffee and matcha is the perfect way to start your day or in the middle of the day as a sweet treat. They have available pastry items including different croissants (i.e., original, ham and cheese) if you would like to add into your purchase. Their personnel are always friendly, greeting you as soon as you enter the door with a smile and bright energy. They never fail to answer any questions we may have and provide us with their best sellers and personal opinions on the drinks - which are useful to newcomers who have never tried their drinks. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to support smaller businesses and for those looking for good coffee!

    Furious George (50% sweetness, Vietnam roast, almond milk)
    Aiden A.

    Was driving through the area and looking for my morning coffee and decided to stop here. Leaflet has some amazing flavor combos to choose from. I ultimately decided on the "furious George" which is a banana and vanilla latte. I love the ability to customize your drink. I was able to adjust sweetness, milk, and even pick which of the espresso roasts I wanted. They explained to me the difference between the two and how the roast impacts the flavors in the drink. I went with the Vietnam roast which brings more of the flavor out in the banana. I also dropped my sweetness down to 50% and it was perfect! Not too sweet but the banana comes through. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The space is cute, but small. Not great for large groups to congregate and hang out but enough space to sit and enjoy your drink with a friend or two or to do some light work or studying. There is parking all around, including a structure in the back. I found a 15 min spot just on the side. I'll be back here for sure.

The only thing I would note is that the lychee flavor is not really there - I'd consider this a regular espresso tonic instead of a lychee-forward one. This didn't really bother me though, because I downed the whole drink My husband got the hojicha latte, which was smooth with a nice roasted flavor that didn't get lost under the milk. I also appreciated that they asked whether he wanted sugar at all rather than assuming a default sweetness level. It was actually his first time having a hojicha latte unsweetened, and he really enjoyed it. The space itself is pretty bare-bones, so I wouldn't necessarily come here for the super aesthetic cafe experience. But it's comfortable and functional - there's a row of bench seating with tables and chairs opposite it. The seats are actually padded, which makes it a nice spot to sit for a chat, or to get some work done. Street parking was plentiful when we went, and I believe there's also a small attached lot. There was also a baker set up on-site when we stopped by. They were selling things like salt bread and sandwiches, so of course we grabbed something to support them. I thought that was such a cute touch and would love to see more local cafes doing little collaborations like this.

The red date and pear syrup was light, and not overwhelming. Jasmine Latte ($7.50) - If you like both jasmine milk tea and coffee, this is a fun combination. The coffee is not too strong. Overall, I'd come back if I'm in the area.

The coffee was well-made - it wasn't burnt, overly bitter, or sour, so the extraction seemed solid. However, the flavor felt flat and watered down. It lacked the aroma, body, and rich roasted notes that make a cup memorable. Nothing really stood out, leaving it tasting more diluted than satisfying. Also, I don't think the barista could froth the coffee well. Instead of a nice velvety, dense froth, the froth was a bubbly foam (see photo). Food - 3/5. I visited around 9 a.m., but the pastry selection was surprisingly limited (see photo). The pastries also didn't taste particularly fresh; they had more of the texture and flavor you'd expect from pastries sitting out later in the day rather than freshly baked items you'd hope to find early in the morning. The café has a modern, hip vibe and a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's spacious, with plenty of seating, making it a pleasant place to spend some time. Overall, Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab is a fine neighborhood café if you're looking for a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a coffee. Unfortunately, neither the coffee nor the food left much of an impression. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing really stood out either. While the ambiance is probably its strongest point, the coffee is just average.

I was genuinely excited to try this place, so unfortunately I left twice as disappointed not only by the rude service, but also because the flavors just weren't there. I've ordered takeout from here in the past and wasn't too impressed, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured maybe the food didn't travel well or simply wasn't as good by the time it got to me. I was hoping dining in would be a completely different experience, but sadly, that wasn't the case. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I'm hoping this feedback reaches someone who can actually address some of these issues, especially the service, since I noticed similar comments in quite a few other reviews. We tried the chilaquiles enfrijoladas and the French toast, along with a cortado and a café de olla latte. The enfrijoladas were way too salty and really needed something to balance the dish. For fried tortilla chips covered in bean sauce with one sad sunny side up egg just felt incomplete. A little something on the side to complement the flavors maybe the onion could be pickled or a little more crema and definitely a much lighter hand with the salt would make a big difference. The French toast was mediocre at best. The café de olla latte was unnecessarily too sweet, and the cortado was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype on social media. I really wanted to love this place because it has so much potential. The ambiance is beautiful and I loved all the art and cultural influences throughout the space, which is why it's disappointing that the food and service didn't match that same level of care. I'd still be willing to give it another try in the future, and I genuinely hope I can come back and update this with a much more positive review. When you're drawing so much inspiration from the culture, I just wish the food represented it with the same care and attention that went into the space.

[Parking]: Free small public parking lot directly across from the shop. [Amenities]: This is a really small coffee shop with no indoor tables and only two small outdoor tables. No restroom is available. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are the Breakfast Burrito, Teddy Bear (double espresso, agave, housemade vanilla cold foam, Teddy Grahams), and Banana Nut. All drinks are made with oat milk. Please note that the kitchen closes at 1 PM on Monday - Tuesday and 2 PM on Wednesday- Sunday even though the cafe remains open for another 1 - 2 hours. Come early for anyone wanting to try kitchen items like breakfast burrito or breakfast sandwich. *** Banana nut (double espresso, house made vanilla cold foam, house made banana syrup - medium $7.50): It came with two banana chips. The cold foam was quite underrated and I could taste a hint of banana flavor. The drink wasn't as sweet as I had expected - I liked it. Breakfast burrito (Refried beans, soyrizo, tofu scramble, crispy hashbrowns and sliced avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla - $13.50): Portion wasn't huge, but it also wasn't small enough to finish in one sitting. It had one of the softest texture for breakfast burritos. The soyrizo was very flavorful. It also came with a side of salsa - quite spicy but flavorful at the same time. *** I probably still prefer meat-based breakfast burritos, but their soyrizo breakfast burrito is quite good and the coffee drink is excellent (4.5-star for both items). I would definitely recommend this small coffee shop for a quick grab-and-go.
