Ordered a classic iced coffee with oat milk and vanilla and my husband got a black coffee. Both were great. Had a great taste to them. Really loved it and can proudly say this will be a regular stop for me now. They have an assortment of pastries, however we didn't purchase any this time around. Hope to try some out the next time I stop in!

El Monte Coffee Roasters is one of those solid, dependable spots that does what it's supposed to…read moredo, no fireworks, no overpromising, just good coffee and good vibes. The amaretto iced coffee is smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to drink, and the chocolate chip scone understood the assignment, buttery, loaded with chips, and gone way too fast. Inside, you've got shelves stacked with coffee jars like a caffeine apothecary, burlap coffee sacks casually flexing their single-origin credentials, and just enough cozy chaos to remind you this place is serious about beans. Outside, there's a festive little setup with lights, a giant present looking entrance (Santa clearly approves), and a tiny free library because caffeine and books are a power combo. Bonus points for enjoying the coffee from the car like a true commuter philosopher. Is this the kind of coffee that'll change your life? No. Is it the kind that makes your morning better and your drive more tolerable? Absolutely. The two baristas are elite: no small talk, no life stories, just order pour go. Morning efficiency at its finest. Bonus points for Spanish speakers, because coffee sounds better en español. Rápido, directo, sin vueltas

They serve mostly sweets, but they do have a couple savory options, like quiche and croissants as well. I definitely would have appreciated some more savory options. The inside is also very charming, and the service is excellent, but it's just a bit cramped to really enjoy dining in. We sat next to a very loud table with a loud child, and I felt there wasn't much space to get away from them. We ordered the vanilla custard tart with raspberries, which was excellent. We also ordered a strawberry macaron, which I also really enjoyed. My husband ordered a coffee, which was good, but just a bit small. Overall I did really enjoy my experience here but I do wish there were a few more menu options!

I had the Smashed Sweet Potato Burger which was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!!! A delicious brioche roll was filled with two patties made from sweet potatoes and spices, covered in pistachios and crispy shallots, then drizzled with honey. Even a non-Vegan will love this. The standard looking French fries were anything but- they were crispy and delicious with just the right amount of sea salt. The chicken tenders were cooked perfectly and seemed freshly made not frozen. Everyone had to have a taste. The dessert was the showstopper- citrus olive oil cake topped with whipped cream and orange zest. The texture was amazing and it was incredibly delicious. My young grandson had a dish of vanilla ice cream, which also looked standard until you tasted it- super creamy with a strong vanilla flavor that was really outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their meal, which was reasonably priced. I honestly can't wait to go there again. Located off the Main Street , it is easy to miss but be sure to seek it out- you won't be disappointed.

We ordered the cornbread special, the porchetta sandwich special, and the biscuits and gravy. Everything was fresh, filling, and delicious. The porchetta sandwich was flavorful, though I personally found a few pieces a bit fatty with some skin, which wasn't my preference. The biscuits and cornbread on the other hand were fantastic! I also loved the cozy setup inside and the fun idea of having games to play while you dine. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better! 4.5!

Stopped over the weekend when we were apple picking in the area for a little tea time lunch…read more Unfortunately, it was quite busy, so the line was long. They do things a bit interestingly at Sally Lunn's; when you try to put your name down on a waiting list, they decline a phone number or name, and only ask for your party size. While I trust the front of staff have great memory, I do believe my quoted 10-15 minute wait was stretched to 40 minutes since the front of staff could recognize who spoke with her, but not who she spoke with first. Unless you are very assertive and wait right in front of the service counter, it was common for same party sizes after you to be called first. The interior was quite homely, like visiting a grandmother's house, and was charming in its own way. Service was slow during the busy weekend rush, and from seating to talking to our server was another 10 minute wait, and from ordering to when we received our food was another 45 minute wait. Food-wise, I was disappointed with what we recieved. The Sally blend and Buckingham Palace blend were great tea selections, but just about the only enjoyable hot items coming out of the kitchen. The lobster mac&cheese was super watery and bland, tasting more of milk then cheese or lobster. The cottage pie was cold in the center, and lacked any flavor beyond salty. The sausage roll was tolerable, nice and flaky pastry-wise, but the sausage was meager in serving and dry and rubbery from being overcooked. We also were unfortunate enough to see a bug come crawling out of the Caesar side salad, which along with the olives, was also something that did not belong in a Caesar. The afternoon tea had a fantastic salmon sandwich, but the cucumber and cream cheese was excessively soggy and the egg salad was overpowered by mayo. The best thing we ate was definitely the apple cinnamon scone. Save yourself the wait and hassle, get this scone to go!! It was buttery and moist, had just enough cinnammon and apples without being overpacked that the scone couldn't hold it's weight; truly a lovely autumn treat (and truly the only reason this review has more than 1 star). Parking-wise, they only have a small lot, so you may have to look for other nearby lots or street parking for a spot. There is also only 1 bathroom in the facility for both genders. Overall, I think this was a local gem that is struggling with popularity traffic. Still a great option on a weekday for a tea and pastry break, but would not recommend stopping by for a full meal.

There wasnt any pumpkin left in the field to pick and the apples were not event there on the trees. I would definitely have to say hand down to the cute little store - there was a bakery side and oh my gosh the donuts , the cookies and the Tik Tok famous drink was out of this world. So the 2 hour trip was definitely worth the drive. The service was okay the individuals behind the counter to order the Tik Tok drink had a bit of a attitude when I was asking about questions. Just stay patient. Other then that I would highly recommend coming here and trying a piece of all of there different donuts and cookies are soo soo good. They even had a pumpkin cider donut which I never had before. Don't forget to stop by and check them out.

Which was nice since we don't need to wait for someone to come serve, we will be getting our drink super fast!! We ordered a breakfast dish (eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries), and also a country fried steak!! They came out super fast!! And OMG.. that home fries is to die for!! I think I can eat that ALL day long!! Super tasty!! As for the steak, it was ok... guess I was expecting a little more crunchier (not sure if it's because of the sauce they made the steak a bit soggy or not) but the sausage gravy is tasty as well!! The eggs are fresh and taste soo good!! Love it!! Service is super nice, I have a feeling they are family own business and they just work together so well... you can feel they genuinely care for the customers and lots of them are their usuals... We will definitely come back for sure!!! And if you are Marilyn Monroe fan that's the bonus for you!!

It feels like a hole in the wall, but at the same time is actually very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I loved all of the pictures of old fashioned movie stars on the wall, and much preferred this ambiance to any of my local diners. Our server was a young man who we later found out was the grandson of the owners, who were sitting right at the counter table. It made Marilyn's even more charming to know that it really is just a mom-and-pop that an entire family rallys to takes great pride in. I was really excited to see cheese blintz on the menu, as this is one of my favorites but is not so common! I ordered this, along with a side of bacon, and a decaf coffee. My blintz was excellent and came loaded with fresh fruits and sour cream. It was better than the blintzes I used to order from my favorite Ukranian restaurant in NYC. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy!) and my coffee was awesome. I will definitely be returning to bring my husband. I am only knocking off one star (it hurts to do this because I really loved my food and experience here) because they only offer bottled water, they are cash only, and the bathroom was very VERY cramped. Otherwise this would've been a five star review!

I ended up burning my hand badly and now have blisters. The only response I got was, "Are you okay?" I had to pull my car over and go inside because the coffee didn't even have a stopper in the lid. I simply suggested that, in the future, they put a stopper in hot drinks to help prevent something like this from happening again. Instead of showing any concern, every employee behind the counter turned their backs to me and acted like they couldn't care less. Honestly, this Starbucks is always hit or miss, and I'm tired of paying high prices for drinks that are made incorrectly or served carelessly. After today's experience, I won't be coming back. I live in town, but from now on I'd rather drive all the way to Roxbury for my coffee than return here.
