    *Note: TDLR at the end of the review Brown Coconut (Seasonal): 6.8/10 You can definitely taste the coconut. On the milkier side, but you can still taste the espresso. It wasn't artificially over sweet which was great. My only qualm is the frickin price for the size. $8.25 for a 12oz?? Like bruh. I get it. It's across a campus in a nice area, but wtf. Drink was good, but no way in hell is it worth $8.25. Y'all can fight me on that idgaF. Service: 9/10 Everyone seems really friendly! The cashier was very nice and helped out with any drink corrections customers had. Ambiance: 6.5/10 So so crowded and mucho mucho cramped. Not the best study spot. I was lucky to nab a table next to an outlet, but not all are lucky. The tables inside are super super close to each other. Not my favorite. There are tables in the hallway, but no outlets. Street parking was easy to find because it was a Sunday, but as it got later in the day, parking started to fill up. TDLR: Expensive drinks. Okay study space. Tables are super close to each other and not many outlets. Place definitely gets super busy. Street parking only.

    Nambah Coffee has such friendly staff and a really cute space that works well for both socializing and getting some work done. I thought it was interesting (and kind of fun!) that they double as a cafe with wine and beer!! There's seating both inside and outside! They have overflow seating in the lobby, which is nice & seems like it doubles into a Darty (day party) space on select Saturdays! As a study spot, only the indoor section had outlets, which made working a little tricky (unless you found a table inside) & the music inside was also a bit loud for my taste, but sitting in the lobby was perfect and much more comfortable! On the plus side, the WiFi was fast and stable, which is always appreciated. We ordered the brown sugar coconut matcha and the pandan matcha, and both were great! The coffee cake tasted good but was a little dry for my liking. While there isn't a dedicated parking lot, there's 90-minute and 3-hour street parking nearby, which was manageable. Overall, a nice spot with good drinks and a fun vibe!

    Cute coffee spot, plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor patio with 2 large counter height tables/stools and perimeter seating. On a Sunday there's plenty of street parking or park in a paid lot across the street. Accessible parking in front too. There's usually a long line to the door but moves quickly. Service is quick and friendly. Some pastries for sale as well. The coffee and matcha are great. There are basics as well as flavored specialties, all delicious. I've been here to work as well as to catch up with friends and it's a great atmosphere for both. Bathrooms are outside of the shop but not outdoors. There's a code located inside. Love this spot!

    I really love their pandan Matcha because you can taste their pandan, so good. I asked for less sweet because the barista told me that the drink itself is pretty sweet and I'm glad I adjusted my sweetness. they were pretty crowded for Sunday late afternoon, but I managed to find seats. Locate at near University of Laverne this is a good study spot and chill weekdays and weekends.

    This place is super cute and has such a calm atmosphere! My friend took me here to try it out and I got hooked on their Pandan Matcha. It was sweet, but not overly sweet, just the way I like it. The matcha itself was very silky and smooth, not clumpy or coarse. The staff were lovely! Loved the vibes the workers gave off and helped me at the register when I had questions about sweetness levels! I will definitely be coming back! Maybe to try new items :P :-))

    Let the cafe hopping continue. Parking: There's free street parking if you can find any. I parked in the private lot next to it. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with indoor and outdoor seating. It's pretty quiet, so it's a great spot to get a study session in. We visited on a late Saturday afternoon, and it was busy. Almost every table was filled, and there was a consistent line. Service: There were only two workers. The cashier that rung us up was nice and efficient. Throughput took a little over 5 min, which is pretty quick considering how busy it was. Drinks & pastries: 1) Snickerdoodle Latte - This contained brown sugar, vanilla, real butter, cinnamon, espresso, and milk. It sounds overwhelmingly sweet, but honestly the only thing I really tasted was cinnamon. Overall, I thought this drink was enjoyable especially for those who prefer their lattes on the sweeter end. 2) Heartthrob - This contained vanilla, white chocolate, cinnamon, espresso, and milk. The flavors mixed really well together. Nothing really overpowered each other. Again, this drink is enjoyable for those who like sweeter lattes. 3) Mango Matcha - This contained mango nectar, vanilla, cream, and ceremonial matcha. I thought the matcha part was okay. You can't really taste the matcha after mixing it. The mango was definitely overpowering. 4) Chocolate chip scone - This tasted as good as it looks. It's not too sweet, but it does get overwhelming. I recommend eating some and saving the rest for later. 5) Chocolate chip cookie - I looove cookies! Couldn't resist trying this too. The edges and middle sections were soft. There's a generous amount of chocolate chips, but it's not overly sweet! Pricing: Average prices for a coffee shop nowadays. We enjoyed their drinks and pastries. I'd love to come back and try their offerings and hopefully sit and enjoy the ambiance, if it isn't too busy.

    Very very cute spot. Beautiful lighting and outdoor area is relatively spacious. Staff and Service is extremely inviting and friendly. The Matcha is a bit too light for my own liking but for the ambience this place is definitely worth the price. A very quaint spot to meet up your friends or just work! They have events on Saturdays too so it makes it even more fun since the whole area has many nice eateries.

    Nambah is an Indonesian word that means to add, to gain, to give. That said let's begin this review. Nambah Coffee is a cute and charming lil coffee shop located in heart of Old Town La Verne. Its interior atmosphere was very cozy and relaxing with great chillhop music; popular hangout spot of college students at Univ of La Verne and a perfect place to chill catch up with friends or fellow coffee lover on a hot day. Indoor and outdoor seats were very comfortable. Interior design and layout were well planned; the large exposed brick wall adds depth to the coffee shop's personality. Nambah has a modest coffee menu and pastry items. Moreover, they sell merch and coffee bags as well. I ordered a Nitro Cold Brew. It was smooth and prefect thirst quencher on a very hot afternoon. Service was spot on. Staff were very assiduous, warm and competent. Prices were fair and competitive. Plenty of street parking. Overall, it's a really cool coffee shop. And I had a lovely experience and enjoyed my cold drink.

    Matcha calamansi
    Thuy Dan T.

    A beautiful coffee shop in La Verne with some patio seating and some indoor seating. There is parking available that is free for 2 hours. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the Matcha Calamansi and ooowhee did that get me alert! On a hot day, I was thirsty and drank it fast so the next hour, I felt some jitters. Warned myself of my caffeine tolerance is lower than before. The drink itself was really delicious and refreshing! I would definitely order again, just sip slower. I did try to get an hours worth of work there and I will say the internet is very spotty. I spent majority of the time getting laggy videos to load or getting signed on and off so I would recommend anything that needs a strong wifi. All tables were filled when I was there so could be a # of users problem, but something to be aware of! Will definitely be returning for a drink when I'm in the area!

    We stumbled upon this cute cafe randomly since we were looking for a place that was open on New Year Day. Props to them on opening on a holiday and it was nice to see everyone waiting so patiently since there was only two workers! I ordered a hot honey lavender espresso and it was delicious! We also tried the breakfast sandwich and the turkey pesto sandwich as well. I sat down at the corner on the couch and yapped for 2 hours! It was super nice and relaxing. The worker made a wrong drink for another customer and offered it to us . We feel so happy that we found this place! Definitely coming back again soon!

    Strawberry Matcha

    Adorable Spot with Great Vibes! After searching for a matcha drink in Pomona post-Pilates, I stumbled across this cute coffee spot and decided to check it out. First impression: absolutely adorable! The décor inside and out has such a cozy, welcoming vibe, totally my kind of place. I ordered the strawberry matcha, and it was beautifully made. A little on the sweet side for my personal taste, but still enjoyable. I'm definitely excited to come back and try their coffee next time! Service also friendly. A great little find for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy a well-made drink in a super cozy atmosphere.

    Namba Cafe never disappoints! I came here with my friend to enjoy a nice early breakfast. I ordered the lavender latte for the second time and it's absolutely amazing, easily one of my favorites. This time, I also tried their almond croissant, which was warm, rich, and surprisingly fluffy. A perfect pairing with my latte. My friend ordered an avocado toast and that's definitely on my list for next time. The service is always great and the staff is consistently kind and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and satisfying cafe experience. P.s it's also a great spot to relax and get some work done with indoor & outdoor seating

    Do they have a parking lot or is it street parking only?

    There's a lot across the street with lots of parking as well as painted spaces in front of the restaurant.

    When I went there were plenty of people studying there yes

    How many bathrooms are here?

    men and woman's back hallway that's shared by the entire building

    Is this a rebrand? Used to be called something else.

When I walked in, it was already busy, with around 10-12 people waiting for their orders. Even so, the line moved quickly, and my order was taken in less than 1 minute. It was completed within about 5-7 minutes, which says a lot about how efficiently they run things. Credit where it's due to both the front and back-of-house staff, everyone clearly knows their role, and it shows in how smoothly the operation runs. The menu is extensive and a bit overwhelming at first. They also had Valentine's Day specialty drinks alongside their regular offerings. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and went with the cookie butter latte, mostly because I've been into cookie butter lately and wanted to see if it actually worked as a coffee flavor. The interior is genuinely impressive, stylish, well-designed, and very photo-friendly without feeling cramped. Plenty of seating and a comfortable waiting area, which helps when it's busy. Customer service stood out. The cashier was moving fast, almost too fast, accidentally skipping the option for a text receipt before I could select it. Still, he fixed it immediately and sent the receipt manually, which I appreciated since I wanted accurate pricing for this review. The coffee itself was strong but well-balanced, rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I haven't had coffee in a while, so I was half-expecting it to be too much, but it ended up being one of the most satisfying cups I've had in a long time. The ham and cheese croissant was also very good, fresh, filling, and larger than expected. It's easy to see why this place is well known. I've seen friends post about it online for a while, and after finally trying it myself, I can say it lives up to the hype. I'm not disappointed at all. 1 16oz cookie butter latte $6.12, 2 Ham & cheese croissants ($4.50 each), + $1.59 sales tax, + $2.51 tip = $19.22 5 out of 5.

The tea was lightly sweetened perfectly to my liking, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who respects tea leaves more than I respect my sleep schedule.

That summer you saved me, like the first bite of something new when you thought you'd forgotten what butterflies felt like. The season changed and you suddenly disappeared.... just an empty pink box on the counter. Only crumbs remain now, where your strawberry-glazed humor used to melt into every moment like sugar on warm dough. My heart split like a jelly donut. Still, I'm grateful as the world is as it should be. I pass by the donut shop on 66 and smile. People think it's just about donuts. But once.... a long time ago, one saved my life.
