    Coffee is always top knotch here. I commend this person that's doing everything by themselves. Ambiance is very simple and to the point. Will be back again soon

    Menu (Part 1)
    Ian A.

    I ordered the Cafe de Olla ($6.75 - medium - iced - regular milk). This is weak coffee. I continued to feel sleepy after its consumption. It's a harmless, boring drink. It tastes like powdery milk tea. I arrived at Mobar Coffee (Montebello) on Thursday (around 12:33PM). It's located inside the Montebello Mall (aka: "The Shops at Montebello"). This small business is on the 2nd floor. It's across Macy's, and it sits besides Kay Jewelers. Nearby parking is plentiful and simple. Staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Staff greeted me with a smile, and staff eagerly explained their menu's options. Staff appeared well-informed and diligent. I ordered the Cafe de Olla ($6.75). The drink was ready in three minutes. Fairly quick. As mentioned, the Cafe de Olla ($6.75 - medium - iced - regular milk) did not taste bad. It's just unmemorable. I'd compare its flavor to milk tea. It had a chill milk & powder taste with a weak caffeine kick. Unfortunately, this Cafe de Olla borders on the edge of bland. On ambiance, I appreciate the attempt by Mobar Coffee (Montebello). The location has six round tables labelled "Mobar." Surprisingly, these tables are near electrical outlets. There's about three electrical outlets for electronic devices by these tables which is a monumental achievement for a generic mall vendor. Mobar Coffee (Montebello) is also conveniently located beside the Kids Play Area which allows families to take a breather from their busy kiddos if searching for a light rest. The location is also relatively clean and well-ventilated since it's in a well-maintained mall. Overall, Mobar Coffee (Montebello) offers adequate drinks. Its drinks are fairly standard and affordable, but it's not remarkable. It's a possible option if meandering nearby. 4 out of 5

    Café de olla late and strawberry lemonade
    Dania J.

    Amazing coffee. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. We arrived early to the mall and decided to grab a coffee while I waited for the stores to open. I ordered the cafe de olla late and a strawberry lemonade. Both were perfectly made. Strawberry ke made is the perfect amount of sweet and refreshing. The cafe de olla late was smooth and creamy. Service was great and fast. It's a mall coffee shop so it's open space . No tables really but the mall has some.

    I tried the cafe de olla foam cold brew and it was delicious! The flavor was perfect and not too sweet! The girl working at the counter was very sweet and patient with all my questions! It is in the mall so there is no place to sit

    Making my drink! The Vanilla cinnamon
    Andrew H.

    Wow! Tasty! My work got this for us and it was a great surprise!! So very tasty! I asked what was their signature drink got the hot vanilla cinnamon. Fantastic! Friendly people working there and it created a great atmosphere! I appreciate them for great service.

    Strawberry matcha
    Andrea F.

    I've passed this place multiple times and I finally decided to come and I got a strawberry matcha, it was very sweet, tasted like vanilla and can hardly taste the matcha. Hardly tasted strawberry, it only has a couple dried strawberries on it and vanilla cold foam. Nothing strawberry matcha about it lol. The color of the matcha wasn't the best and the service was fine. I got a medium size and paid almost nine dollars for a drink that tasted bad.

    Peppermint mocha latte

    Located on the second floor of the Montebello mall near forever 21, this place is a convenient coffee shop for on the go coffee while shopping since there is no seating here. The staff are nice and friendly and they made a few recommendations for my first time. I think this spot is a great alternative to Starbucks where they have the holiday speciality drinks but I would come here for high quality coffee. Parking: plenty of lot parking

    Horchata Latte
    Mercedes R.

    Best little coffee gem. For some reason Montebello mall doesn't have any coffee options except for the Starbucks inside Macy's. I think it's so weird. So I was excited when this place opened up. I have tried the mocha latte and the horchata latte. Both are great!

    Ray V.

    Always friendly service! The coffee is roasted to perfection with a hint of sweetness. Best coffee around definitely recommend to whoever is in the area!

    So there I was, just doing some innocent window shopping with my mom at the Montebello Town Center--minding my business, not looking for caffeine trouble--when BAM! I spotted a cute little coffee shop upstairs called Mobar. Naturally, I wandered in like a moth to a latte. I told the barista I wanted something that wouldn't send me into a sugar coma because, you know, I'm trying to make better life choices (or at least pretend to). She whipped up an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, two shots of espresso, and two pumps of sugar-free vanilla like she was reading my mind. (Sprinkle of cinnamon on top) It was smooth, not too sweet, and just the right amount of "I can handle my life now." Customer service? 10/10. I don't know if she was a barista or a caffeine fairy godmother, but I'll be back. Oh--and I just heard they opened a new spot inside Brewjeria in Pico Rivera? BET.... I'm already plotting my next "accidental" coffee run.

    A little disappointed with my first experience. I love the seasons and LOVE seasonal drink and I was hoping to try their Strawberries and SCREAM shake because it mentioned "gummy " ... "GUMMY" eyeballs.. it did not have the gummy eyeballs I got 1 single tiny and hard eyeball.. it was really upsetting and very misleading ): I would not return because I am a little hesitant to be mislead again. The customer service was sky rocket awesome and they were very sweet and welcoming. I am just very disappointed with the misleading description

    AJ T.

    Very cute. We'll run, well appointed. Efficient coffee shop. But my rating in coffee shops is based on one thing only: the taste of the coffee. I would say my cappuccino was made well, but the taste of the coffee was just below my expectations, but you should slather give it a try!

    Horchata Latte
    Charlie B.

    So, I've been looking for a coffee spot for my daily pick-up and I think I just found my spot! Nataly is a super star! She was super friendly and helpful and really attentive. Not that many coffee spots ask, "what is your name" and "how is your day going". Well Nataly asked BOTH. To top it off I ordered Mobar's Horchata Latte with Oatmilk and it was delicious.

    Hi, is the El Sereno location open again?

    Hi, we unfortunately had to close the El Sereno location for good. We are now open at the Shops at Montebello located at 2104 Montebello Town Center Montebello, CA 90640. Hours are 10am - 8pm everyday!

    Are they closed in Sundays now?

    No, they are open on Sundays, with shortened hours, I know they open at 7:00 on Sundays, I believe they close early, like 12:00 noon.

I always order the matcha with 1.5 scoops of matcha, vanilla syrup, and light ice, and it's consistently perfect every single time, rich, smooth, not watered down, and clearly made with quality matcha.

I ordered a cortado, and it was an excellent example of a well-executed milk drink. The texture was silky with a rich, velvety body that stayed consistent throughout the cup. The milk was steamed very well, producing smooth, glossy microfoam that complemented the espresso without masking its character. If I had one technical observation, the microfoam was just a touch thicker than what you'd typically expect in a competition-style cortado, but it never crossed into being foamy. It was still a very enjoyable thickness that gave the drink a satisfying mouthfeel while maintaining great integration with the espresso. The temperature was spot on and made the drink enjoyable from the first sip. Visually, the cortado was just as impressive. The latte art was clean and centered, the surface had a beautiful sheen, and the milk texture was free of distracting bubbles or excessive foam. The body also held together nicely throughout the drink instead of separating early, which is always something I pay attention to. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the café itself is spacious with a clean, comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your coffee. Between the quality of the cortado, the attention to detail, and the hospitality, Yihui Coffee is absolutely a place I'll be returning to whenever I'm back in the area.

I wished we had arrived earlier to be able to enjoy more of the sold out offerings, but next time we'll arrive right when they open. We ordered a dozen crinkle cookies for a Mother's Day lunch - enjoying the sweet ube and the spiced thai tea versions. Both were great compliments to each other - more perfectly sweet and the other a bit more herbal. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - nice crunchy edges and slightly gooey soft inside. The ube tres leches was a little disappointing as there wasn't any tres leches cake at the bottom, just crumbly graham crackers resting below exquisite ube mousse. It could have been mislabeled, but it was essentially just ube mousse with crumbly graham crackers for texture. The staff were friendly and the store is so fun!

Both of them were excellent, and I felt they were priced appropriately at a dozen for $18. The Thai Tea seriously tasted like you were truly drinking a thai tea. We also shared one large classic chocolate chip cookies (so yummy!) The only thing we didn't understand is that we shared a Ube Tres Leches. I am not sure what was going on. Don't get me wrong, what we ate was very good; however, it was 100% not Tres Leches. It was an Ube Cream with some graham cracker crumble underneath. So, my assumption is that they must have just given us the wrong item. I would love to try the Tres Leches again in the future. Please support his lovely local business. It was a real treat!

The biggest surprise was the Kimchi Croissant, which has honestly become my favorite pastry in the SGV. The croissant was flaky and buttery, with bacon, a soft jammy egg yolk, and just enough kimchi to add a little spice and acidity without overpowering everything else. It's a combination I wasn't sure would work, but it really does. I also had one of their signature cream puffs, and it's easy to see why they're known for them. They offer some interesting flavors like Biscoff Crunch, Taro Salted Egg Yolk, and black sesame hojicha which are a nice change from the usual vanilla and chocolate options. For drinks, I tried the Pistachio Cloud Top Matcha and the Black Sesame Cloud Top. Both were well balanced and not overly sweet. The pistachio matcha was my favorite of the two. The staff were friendly and patient, even though there was a steady flow of customers and plenty of people taking their time deciding what to order. One thing to keep in mind is that they do sell out of popular items fairly early, so if you have something specific in mind, it's worth going earlier in the day. Overall, Browned is a solid bakery with creative pastries, good drinks, and friendly service. It's easy to see why it's become such a popular spot in San Gabriel.
