Biscoff Latte ($5.50 - 12oz - iced)
Ian A.

I ordered the Biscoff Latte ($5.50 - 12oz - Iced). It's not punchy; rather, this coffee felt subdued and silky. It's not too sweet nor bitter. The aftertaste is a crumbly caramelized cookie. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Only card. Also, they have a 90 minute policy. If you want to stay longer than 90 minutes, management wants you to purchase more.) I arrived at Margin Cafe (Diamond Bar) on Thursday (around 12:15PM). Parking is easy. The lot is big. Staff is curt, busy, and business-like. Staff explained that the 12oz coffee and the 16oz coffee had the same number of shots; I chose the 12oz, so it wouldn't be diluted. My drink took six minutes and 36 seconds. As mentioned, the Biscoff Latte ($5.50 - 12oz - Iced) is not bad. It's not too milky. And it's not bitter nor too sweet. It's also fairly affordable compared to other quality spots. However, there's a lot of ice, so the drink vanishes fairly fast. The caffeine is not strong, but it's enduring. Regarding ambiance, Margin Cafe (Diamond Bar) is sleek but fairly unmemorable. There's about four electrical outlets. Also, there's customer internet with password. Unfortunately, the 90 minute time-limit feels constraining for this place to be a good study/work spot. Also, the music is fairly loud; it's like management wants to scare away loitering college students. Fortunately, there's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Overall, Margin Cafe (Diamond Bar) offers decent coffee. It's not the best, but it's an affordable, solid option. Location feels a little frugal, but there's sincere potential hidden in these walls. 4.4 out of 5

It is a cute coffee shop in diamond bar. Has a lot of unique drinks which I like. My husband got a horchata latte as he wanted a hot latte yet most of specialty drinks are not available in hot and I got a biscoff latte. We liked how the drinks were not too sweet but still had those unique flavors. It was our first time at the cafe and the person who worked there explained and recommended drinks for us which I was grateful for :) It is located in a plaza so there ate enough spaces for free parking

We came here for a quick morning study date and enjoyed the ambiance of the space - it was spacious, quiet but with nice music, and had lots of outlets to plug our laptops into. The bathroom was also really clean! The servers were nice and accommodating, serving us even though their payment systems were down (they don't take cash but thankfully the systems worked before we left so we were able to pay) We got some baked goods and ordered Biscoff Latte and Vienna Latte with cream top. Baked goods were solid and the drinks were yummy and well-concentrated, not watered/sugared down. Would love to come back for another study date here!

Came to this spot to do some work with my friend and it was a nice spot for a good cup of coffee and pastry. The seating was also quite comfy, I'm kind of a chair snob and hate when coffee spots have chairs that leave marks on your legs. The butter pecan iced coffee was pretty yummy as well!

Biscoff Late

This was my first time in Diamond Bar so I can't compare this spot to other shops in the area. However, I can compare to the coffee shops in LA. I got the Biscoff Latte and loved it!! They have whole milk and non dairy (no 2%). The latte was the perfect amount of sweet. The Biscoff flavor is there and not too overpowering. There is a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. They have wifi as well. They have a sign that requests one drink per person if you're dining in. Also that if you are staying more than an hour, to order more drinks. Not sure how much this is enforced.

This coffee cafe is located in a small plaza. I was in the area and stopped in for an iced drink on a near 100 degree afternoon. They have several outdoor tables (thanks, but not on this hot day!) and a dozen tables indoors. I ordered a Biscoff latte (only offered as an iced drink) and a slice of Biscoff cheesecake. The smiling young woman who took my order let me know she would bring it to my table when it was ready. It wasn't very busy but it took about 10 minutes for my order to be brought out. The Biscoff cake was really delicious. The Biscoff crust and sprinkles of crumbs on top were wonderful and the cheesecake was creamy, light, and slightly sweet. It has a whipped cream texture. I truly enjoyed this. The Biscoff latte was a bit of a disappointment. I could see it being made and a jar of Biscoff cookie butter was used as an ingredient (although I couldn't see how much). Oddly the latte visually looked like it had the cookie butter but there was no taste of Biscoff at all. The coffee flavor was very bold and was all I could taste. Fortunately, I really liked the taste of the iced latte even though the Biscoff flavor was completely absent - I still enjoyed it. I appreciated the signs they had up on the walls advising customers to be considerate and, if they were going to camp out with their laptops in the shop, to please, at least buy a second drink. It appeared to be effective as there were plenty of tables available for paying customers. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Fantastic cafe!! I searched coffee places near Diamond Bar and I selected this cafe for an early morning talk with my friend. I ordered an iced Blueberry Latte with soy milk and my friend ordered their Coconut Latte. Drinks came out fast and arrived on a cute small tray. There was plenty of seating. We had a great time catching up. The interior was beautiful and they even had a restroom! My drink was so delicious, it tasted like a blueberry muffin, but with espresso! I really enjoyed my time here, I can't wait to come back!

A friend of mine had posted about this cafe and I've never known about it! Easily overlooked and definitely a gem. The owners are very friendly and willing to educate about coffee and their drinks. The Biscoff latte is unique and not overbearing. Plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating. Will definitely drop by more time allowing as it's in a convenient location. The interior is very cozy and well decorated. Good to enjoy coffee and do some work or read a book. Great place to relax and enjoy some good coffee.

Almond croissant
Sherry T.

I've been coming here since they first opened and really enjoyed their coffee, drinks, and pastries. It's a cute coffee house with good amount of seating both indoors and outdoors. It's located in a plaza with lots of parking. This time I ordered the mango matcha (seasonal item), and it was A.Mazing! The mango puree was fresh and not too sweet. It paired so well with the matcha (which I have never had)! Both the Nutella and almond croissants were yummy I definitely recommend this place.

Rho L.

I might be the minority here but I wasn't impressed with Margjn. I ordered the black sesame latte and the black sesame croissant. The croissant seemed days old even after it had been warmed and the latte was very underwhelming in flavor. I may try to visit again and order different offerings.

Coconut Latte w/ Oat Milk.
Kevin M.

A great coffee shop with quick and friendly service! I've come by to Margin Cafe a few times during a needed break time and place to chill to do some work on the computer. The cafe has adequate indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of parking spaces nearby. The few times I've come here there are usually customers already working or studying at the tables. It's very quiet and you can get plenty of studying or work done in peace. FYI, the location offers free WiFi for 90 minutes with one purchase minimum if you plan on staying. I've ordered a Coconut latte and Matcha latte during my few visits. The drinks were tremendous. The drinks were prepared quickly and I had no complaints. I've been drinking matcha lately and theirs was excellent. I'd bookmark Margin Cafe if you want a nice place to have a cup of coffee or study in Diamond Bar!

Interior
Guisselle D.

I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. It's very spacious inside with lots of seating options so it's perfect for studying. We aren't from the area but happened to stumble across this hidden gem. We didn't realize they were closing in 10 minutes but been the the person working gave us her undivided attention and did not make us feel rushed or unwelcomed I wanted to try something I've never had before but it wasn't really my style. That being said, I am more than willing to come again to try a new drink and the pastries (they look soooo good!!!!)

Rose petal latte
Silver P.

So far I love this cafe, a husband and wife coffee shop that gets their beans roasted locally and bake their own cakes Got their standard ice coffee and it's more of a darker roast which is perfect for milk additions. Currently tried their seasonal drink, the rose petal latte and it's not too sweet and perfect! Their jalapeño croissant is delicious and I also love that they're pet friendly. (Cats too!) Such a cozy cafe and the service is so calming and friendly. They also do collabs so I'll be looking forward to coming here again!

Pastry very greasy and not that tasty for the price. The banana latte did not really have any banana flavor it was almost a regular latte.

Dropped by on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm. It was empty and no customers were inside…read more I decided to get the scallion oil noodles, a sausage, and a sweet soy milk. To be honest, the noodles were pretty salty for me, but my dad really enjoyed it. It was very flavorful and had lots of scallion oil flavor! The sausage was just a grilled Taiwanese sausage, my favorite. I wish they would give some garlic with it. And their iced sweet soy milk is my favorite.

I went with my girlfriend on a regular Tuesday, there was no line and the wait for the food was about 15 minutes. The seats are kind of sketchy, they feel like they bend when you sit on them, but the place is otherwise clean. I was excited about this place but the food is really mediocre. It is nutritionally adequate (has some veggies and protein), but its flavor is seriously lacking. We both had the meat lovers crepe and I was waiting for the flavor to come together but none of the ingredients really worked well with one another. Really salty bits of bacon and spam with surprisingly bitter lettuce and a sauce that lacked any power to cut through the fat. I personally think this place is really missing a pork belly or beef slice protein option for savory flavor with less salt. The savory sauce is also lacking, something sweet like hoisin sauce might help a lot. The signature noodles are also a total ripoff, I expected at least some toppings for a whopping $8, but it was just some noodles with a couple green onions tossed on top. The sauce wasn't even that impressive, it tasted like sesame oil and soy sauce, and not even the good seasoning soy sauce. Very disappointed with the noodles for $8. At the end of the day, the only reason I would go here is because of the nostalgia of a Chinese crepe meal, but it fell below expectations. It didn't taste the worst, but for how unhealthy the meal is, it doesn't hit like a good old burger or some curry with naan.

Convenient and Customizable -- A Solid Go-To My all-time…read morefavorite boba spot was Sunright Tea Studio, but unfortunately it's closed down, so I've been on the lookout for a replacement -- and this place has become my current go-to. What I love most here is the ordering experience. There are multiple large touchscreens where you can fully customize your drink -- sugar level, ice level, add-ons, substitutions, you name it. I almost always go for zero sugar, and the fact that I can do that easily is a huge plus for me. It's the kind of flexibility that modern boba shops should all offer. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, which is refreshing compared to some other spots in the area. Is it the most amazing boba I've ever had? Honestly, no -- but the ability to build your drink exactly the way you want it more than makes up for it. There's also a large display screen showing order status, so you always know when your drink is ready. It's a small touch, but it makes the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. I'll be real though -- I probably drink more coffee from the Starbucks across the street than boba from here. At the end of the day, coffee feels like the healthier daily habit. But when I'm in the mood for something different, this place is where I'll be.

Stopped by for some pastries and honestly I was pretty surprised at how good they are…read more The prices were a bit higher in my opinion than other bakeries, but the quality made it worth it. Mochi bun - I don't remember the exact name but it has walnuts inside and on top of the bun. Inside the bun there's chunks of brown sugar mochi. The subtle fragrance of brown sugar and crisp walnuts really hit the spot. The best thing is that they're not overly sweet either. Sweet potato bun (?)- forgot the name but it's a long roll with purple sweet potato in it. Again, not overly sweet and very enjoyable. Their breads are very soft and fluffy. Service is fast but the girl behind the counter spoke a bit too fast. If you need a bag they charge 15 cents for paper bags, so bring your own.

The cashiers are very nice and provide good service, and the bakery is very clean. Little Swan in R.H. Is a 11/10!

Needed a place to get some work day and Outpost Coffee really came in clutch…read more There were plenty of parking available in a plaza which is shared with other businesses. I went on a weekday before noon and had no issues with finding a spot. For ordering, they had a kiosk inside with pictures for reference as well. It does accept American Express. After ordering, it only took a few minutes before it was ready. As for the atmosphere, there were a few other people, but they were mindful of noise. The music was also moderate, so I was able to focus without any earphones. There was plenty of seating from the center table to seating at the wall and even window seats. There were outlets available near seatings at the wall. There was also free WiFi as well. At first it indicated you would only have WiFi access for 1 hour. However, after the hour, I reconnected and it refreshed the timer. For my coffee, I decided to get an iced Dalgona latte. They provided many pieces of Dalgona. I did ask to get this at regular sweetness and ice. Overall, after the Dalgona dissolved with the ice, it felt like a good amount of sweetness. It was decent, but I've come back to try other drinks!

Apparently all locations of the Mugs have been bought out and rebranded. The location in DB is now…read morerebranded as Outpost Coffee. It appears that they are still in their transition phase as there are still signs of "the Mugs" throughout, including the same menu and company info poster. I got the Banana Caramel latte and it is so good! Slight sweet banana flavor but doesn't overpower the espresso so it still tastes like a coffee drink. Plenty of seating for working and just hanging out. Parking is plentiful, staff is nice, just wish the noise of the refrigerator case wasn't so loud so I could enjoy the background music.
