Onto is a very cute and nice place to visit. With that being said, I don't think I would go out of my way to come here with the just slightly overpriced drinks for average coffee/matcha. If you're in the area, it's a great place to visit and they are fast with their service. Note that there is free parking in the parking garage behind the shop - don't pay to park out front! The parking garage opening leads you right to the shop. Also, Onto has a free little library in it! So cute. I've seen some comments about the staff and they've never been unfriendly to me but they will correct you for the tiniest of comments. For example, "can I get a 16oz __." Their response, "Well that is the only size it comes in." It's just off putting when it happens repeatedly to me. I don't have time to remember all the sizes the coffees only come in. Just agree and move on. Nice place and I would never turn someone away from coming here! read more

I've been to this coffee shop a couple different times and always enjoy the drinks and treats! The space is very clean and modern. The staff is friendly. I wanted to try their seasonal menu this go around so I got the purple pumpkin patch which consists of espresso, milk, pumpkin spice syrup, and ube cold foam. Stronger coffee but not overly bitter even as someone who has a sweeter tooth! Wish it had a little more ube flavor since I couldn't really taste it. Overall enjoyed my drink and love that they offer pastries from Black Box Bakery too! read more

Onto Coffee - Seasonal drink: purple pumpkin patch - Sandwiches Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Well, I've now been to Onto four times since they opened in Belmar. They're close to my house and have unique offerings so I've been hopeful I'd love it. Unfortunately, one thing has been consistent all four times I've visited: the baristas are really not friendly. Every time I've gone, it feels like I'm a bother as a customer. Like, I've been excited when they get new menu items and when I ask questions, they seem like it's a huge inconvenience to answer. They don't make any conversation and legitimately, everyone I say thank you to (after placing my order, when grabbing my matcha today), they don't say "You're welcome" or engage with me any further. Today when I went to take my matcha to go, I said "Thank you!" super cheerfully, and the barista just walked away without saying anything. It's really a bummer to feel like my mere existence bothers them when I'm paying $10 (inducing tip) for a matcha. Speaking of cost. I do not have any problem spending $10 on a delicious specialty drink. I have my favorite matcha spots around town and GLADLY pay $10 for a well-crafted drink, even when my friends or coworkers give me a hard time about spending that much. Here at Onto, the drinks are good. But I do think they're a bit overpriced. For example, two of my favorite drink spots that I regularly go to make their drinks with fresh, house made purées. You can really taste the difference. At Onto, many of the flavored drinks I've gotten, I watch them make it and they are just made with Monin syrups. To me, I'd rather pay $10 for a drink that has fresh puree versus one I can get the flavoring at any big box store. Food: The first time I visited with my husband, we were really excited about the sandos. He ordered the chicken katsu and I ordered the eggs salad. My egg salad was shockingly bland, but nothing was really wrong with it. Fine to eat, would just prefer more seasoning. But my husband's sandwich was just all tendon. To the point where you couldn't finish the sandwich because it was just chewy tendon throughout. That was the only time we've ordered food, so I can't speak to other items. But I likely won't be getting a sando again. All in all, Onto has a great menu with lots of variety and fun flavors. I've enjoyed their hojicha and their black sesame matcha. Unfortunately, it's just not going to be my go-to due to me feeling like I'm bothering them every time I go. But if you're looking for a good drink and don't give much weight to customer service, Onto is certainly worth a try. read more

Now that I have tried other sandos, we are changing it from a 5 to a 4 star restaurant. The ube latte and the katsu sando are still solid selections. The katsu seems like it's made as you order so the crunch is fresh and real and full of flavor with each bite. The ube latter is still one of my faves. The other sandos were just okay. Something felt missing from them - maybe a little toast of the bread like with the katsu sando. But they weren't as memorable as the katsu. In summary, Onto is still a cute coffee shop. You are more likely to get a seat if you come earlier in the day before anyone wakes up. And the best sando to choose is the katsu one. Drinks are honestly up to you. I can't drink coffee so the tune latte is my choice of a drink. read more

Absolutely adored this coffee shop! They were celebrating their one year anniversary being open, so there was a live singer, vendors, and a photo booth! Everyone running the counter was obviously happy and having a great time. Most of all, the pastries and the drinks we had were stellar. The coconut lime cruffin was crispy and crunchy, covered in cinnamon sugar. The cream was tart from the lime and lightly coconut flavor. I was only supposed to eat half but couldn't help myself and ate it all. I also got the ube latte, which was naturally decaf, and perfectly sweet. I loved the little leaf design in the foam. Highly highly recommend and I will be back! read more

Another Saturday another coffee shop. Small cute new little coffee shop. I got the Hong kong latte and my boyfriend got the Vienna latte. It was iced which i love ice coffee. It was part of the speciality drinks. Not sure if hot was available. It was cold out and my boyfriend drinks hot. No biggie we should have asked and not assume but also cashier didn't ask. Not a-lot of seating and it was a bit busy but we were able to snag a seat my the front door. We did not get food since we already had breakfast maybe next time definitely give this a place a try when you in the area and want to try something new read more

Onto Coffee has finally showed up to fill that spot where my fave boba place vacated. This new much needed coffee shop was busy when we dropped by. I was dying to try their Matcha Latte. Company ordered Hongkong Latte. New business so a bit scattered but give them a chance. I also tried their Egg Spam and their Chicken Katsu sandwich. I'll get the sandwiches again. read more

Ordered the Tuna-Mayo onigiri and it was so bland and cold i had to go back inside & ask for some sort of seasoning. They told me they don't have anything like that so i suggested chili oil...and they looked at me confused. Eventually got some in a small cup, and it saved the morning. I decided I won't be going back, but anyway the ambiance was chill read more

WOW!!! I've been following this new AAPI owned coffee shop on social media since they opened, and finally got to stop in today. It's event cuter in person!!! I got the black sesame matcha latte and when I say the flavor was chefs kiss- it was amaaaaazing!!!! They make matcha the right way in store, too :) And because I have zero self control, and it was 9 am, I ordered a spam and egg sando (Japanese style sandwich with super soft bread) and a crab salad onigiri. While I saved these to eat later in the day- I have zero regrets (besides maybe not buying more food lol) They make the food fresh when you order; so it's not just sitting in a display fridge. And they also had the viral Black Box bakery pastries! I didn't get one this go, but you know I'll be back soon. Oh- and staff is wonderful and very friendly! read more

I've lived in the area for over 2.5 years and I'm kicking myself for not finding Onto sooner! Their spicy katsu sandwich is the best thing I've eaten in a min, and their iced coconut latte was also excellent. Service was quick & friendly. Truly no notes. read more

Came back twice within a month because the first visit found ourselves with nowhere to sit. Yep, it was that busy. Since there were four of us and at lunch time, we went somewhere else to eat. Then we came back for a warm cup of joe. All of us ordered the Black Sesame Latte because you don't find it anywhere! And it didn't disappoint. I'd like to think mine with oat milk was the best, but I also didn't try my friends. Judging from how happy they looked with the drink in their hand appreciating the filled to the brim latte with art, they're sold. Second time one of my friends and I arrived earlier for lunch and there was one table available! I asked for the Gui Hua latte with oatmilk this time and it's just as good, the perfect size, perfect warmth, and the perfect sweetness. My friend raved about her mocha too. She also got the Chicken Katsu Sando and said it was very tasty. I didn't want anything spicy or fried so I opted for the Egg Salad and Spam Sando. The filling was delicious but I didn't care for the bread. It reminds me nothing of the Japanese Milk Bread. My friends Chicken Katsu Sando had thinner looking bread, I think it's because they pan fried the toast a little, so it looked less doughy and dry. All in all, I'm very happy Onto Coffee opened up shop at Belmar! read more

I just love a Japanese sandwich, and honestly, I don't think anyone does it better than Onto Coffee. They've been killing it at pop-ups and their ghost kitchen , and now they have their own brick-and-mortar in Belmar and it's perfect. Their drinks? Absolute 12/10. I had the iced ube latte (creamy and dreamy), the black sesame matcha latte (earthy and energizing), and even coconut water topped with ube cream. All so good. The food is equally fantastic -- the spicy chicken katsu sando and ube strawberry sando are my favorites, but don't sleep on the mayo tuna onigiri. They're also now partnering with Black Box Bakery, so you can grab a pastry like their flaky strawberry croissant alongside your coffee. Such a good combo. And, Jessie and Jason (the owners) are some of the kindest people you'll meet. Their passion shines through in everything they do, and it makes supporting them even easier. If you're in Lakewood, you have to stop here. Onto Coffee is easily one of my new favorite spots. read more

Today was my first visit. I went on a group dog walk nearby hosted by AJ's Dog Bakery and then we all headed over to Onto Coffee. I like matcha lattes but I don't like sweet drinks. I asked the cashier for recommendations and he originally suggested a banana matcha latte but I don't like banana flavored things. His next suggestion was the Hojicha latte, 1/2 sweet I think. I went with that and ordered the chicken katsu sando. And my pup got a Pupcup! Everything was so good. I loved the sando and the hojicha latte tasted like earthy but almost chocolately. And the staff were so patient with the influx of our large group ordering all at once. I can't wait to come back and try something new again on my next visit. read more

I love this place, I wish it was closer to me. The coffee and tea are amazing. I got the Gui Hua Latte which had Osmanthus creating this beautiful floral flavor in the coffee that was light, the coffee flavor is still there too and they balanced each other well. I got the the regular egg Sando and it was really good, the bread was very soft. It was pretty busy when I went and it was difficult to find seating but the service was good. I would come again. read more

Honestly the best Ube latte I have ever had! Perfectly sweet and creamy and full of Ube flavor. The sandos were also good - we had the special miso chicken as well as the spicy chicken katsu.

An Asian coffee shop with a sandos and a cute puppy logo? I'm there! The space itself is cute, though not much seating is available. I got the black sesame coffee and was pretty disappointed by how muted the black sesame flavor was. It was completely overpowered by the coffee, which didn't sway me either way. The chicken sando was a good choice, however. The curry flavor came through and it was a satisfying meal. The spam and egg sando was definitely lacking though. It could've used some seasoning or at the very least, the spam could've been fried and a bit more generous with the portion. read more

Stopped by Onto Coffee on a total whim while my Tessie was juicing up, and honestly, Belmar had me feeling spiritually renewed. One of the baristas was literally the sweetest human alive. I hit them with the classic "I want something energizing but like... don't let my blood sugar skyrocket pls," and they guided me with the gentle wisdom of a caffeinated guardian angel. Ended up with the Vienna Coffee. It was okay, my taste buds were waiting for a bit more flavor pow but maybe it was because I told them about my sugar monitoring and I could tell they put their whole barista heart into it, so points for effort and the consideration. Also grabbed the tuna mayo onigiri because why not multitask and hit my protein goals while having an identity crisis in a coffee shop? It was classic, plump, and absolutely did what it needed to do. The space was gorgeous, aesthetic and minimal. The kind of place where you suddenly believe you will be productive and get your life together. I'm 100% coming back to work/read here and try another bev... and maybe one of their sandos because they were lowkey calling my name. Onto Coffee, you will see me again! read more

Onto Coffee is a ghost kitchen inside the Mile High Food Club. It's walk-up or order ahead online via the Mile High Food Club website and is an Asian-owned small business. We tried it today for the first time and had the Ube-Strawberry Sando, the Mala Chicken Katsu Sando and a Matcha Espresso Latte. First, the Mala Chicken Sando was our favourite. A little salty but went great with the shredded cabbage. It's actually not very spicy or numbing at all so good for everyone to enjoy. The Matcha Cloud Espresso Latte was thick with barista-style oatmilk, my favourite. I could not really taste the matcha to be honest but the coffee was good and seemed strong. The Ube-Strawberry Sando tasted delicious and the ube came through however we waited a bit too long to eat it. The texture is better if eaten quickly. Of all the things that I got most excited about, it was the packaging, ha! I was really impressed in that the takeaway bag looks reusable, lined with mylar inside to help maintain temperature. The latte cup sat in a special cardboard box and the drink had a tab to close it so it wouldn't spill during the short ride home. I can tell they thought a lot about the packaging and they did very well. Overall, we enjoyed and would come back to try the Egg Salad Sando and the Black Sesame and Guiha lattes later. read more

Onto Coffee - Matcha Cloud Latte w/Espresso - Sandwiches Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

I didn't quite put 2 and 2 together to realize that Onto Coffee is part of Mile High Food Club, a restaurant co-op that is a ghost kitchen. I showed up looking for a cute new coffee shop to do some work in and was a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, I used the kiosk to order a Mile High Asian Food Week special of a drink + sando for $16. I got the iced ube latte with oat milk and the spicy chicken katsu sando. I don't have any notes on the iced ube latte - it tasted pretty standard and tasty to me. As for the spicy chicken katsu sando, my bread was a little smushed/soggy by the time I got home to eat it. I don't remember this sando being spicy, but I did think the flavors were really well done! Overall, the combo was delicious and filling! It was a perfect lunch meal for me. Even though I ordered at the location, it wasn't quite clear when my order was completed and ready for pick up. I don't think I got a locker or barcode receipt and I ended up standing there for a while even though my order was completed. I do wish this were its own stand-alone coffee shop because I know it would be so cute, and I get that it probably doesn't make sense for the business! It's nice to know this business exists, and the location/price deters me a little. read more

Onto Coffee - Ube Latte - Iced and Spicy Chicken Katsu Sando - Sandwiches Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Have been wanting to try this place for a while now but it's pretty out of the way for me. I was in the area so decided to stop in! I definitely wasn't excepting the layout and thought it would be more open style. The waiting area is small but you can order from the kiosk. While waiting, it appeared that majority of orders were To-Go (preordering on app). They have 3 pages worth of different restaurants! You'll definitely have to follow the specific place you want and look for hours when they are open. Ube latte done right! Subtle Ube flavor and not too sweet! Mocha was a hit, very strong! And the sando was sweet and delicious! read more

Popped into the Onto after a work meeting. The space is airy, clean, and it was busy. There were plenty of people there working and socializing. I was greeted right away and decided on and iced Ube Latte (less sugar) and it was made quickly. My colleague decided on a latte and enjoyed her beverage as well. There is plenty of parking and seems to be kid-friendly. read more

This was $8 without tip. Yikes Shoutout to Spencer and Prim for always getting me right but a lot of the staff are just plain rude. I'm not a believer in service workers always needing to be super jovial or whatever, but it's a little much. Back to the quality: I've waited over 20 minutes for a sando here during relatively calm hours. Most of the time my matcha tastes like straight milk and has clumps. It's not hard to rinse your chasen between uses. A couple times I've even had plastic shards at the bottom of my drink. Even if the matcha were passable, charging $8 is absolutely absurd given the size of the cups. I only go here because I live close and I like the ambience. It's like Stockholm syndrome to be honest. read more

A nice coffee shop with good Japanese sandwiches! I tried the egg salad, and the bread was perfect. Soft and slightly sweet, it tasted very fresh. I didn't love the egg salad filling and felt it needed more flavor. Tokyo Premium Bakery still has the best egg salad sandwiches in my opinion, but these were decent. I'll definitely return to try one of the katsu sandwiches since the bread was so tasty! Service was quick, and the atmosphere was cute. They had a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I came on a Thursday afternoon. Despite letting the barista know it was my first time, the barista's service ultimately left a poor overall impression of my experience. Since syrups weren't listed on the menu, I asked the barista what options were available and if she had any recommendations. The responses I received felt dismissive rather than helpful, and I didn't feel guided through the ordering process as a new customer. To add on, in-between my questions, she and two other baristas were whispering and snickering, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. I wanted to ask more about their pour overs, but ultimately being discouraged from my interactions, I opted for a vanilla latte. It was decent but didn't feel worth the $8 price point, especially given their service. As someone who once worked as a barista and in customer service, a simple recommendation or explanation of what the shop is known for would have gone a long way in creating a welcoming atmosphere. read more

I haven't been to Onto before, although I'd visited the coffee shop that was here previously in Belmar. This is a cute little place, but there isn't much seating and it's not terribly comfortable. What struck me were the high prices. Each drink is a dollar or two more than anywhere else! (Nondairy is even more still.) I like it here and the baristas were friendly, but given the costs and paid parking, sadly it won't be a regular spot for me. read more

I've been here multiple times and keep coming back for the comforting, cozy vibe of the café. As a matcha lover, I like trying the different options they offer.

5 stars alone for friendly service-- my friend and I wanted to check them out after clinic finished but due to traffic weren't going to arrive until 5pm on the dot (closing).

While we didn't get to try a sando (will need to go back), we did snag a chai cruffin that they source from black box bakery that was fantastic. read more

Chicken katsu sando was awesome. Made fresh and great flavors. Definitely recommend trying one. Onigiri was horrible as it was smashed, wrapped and set on the counter. Rice was mushy and had zero flavor. Definitely do not recommend trying one of those. Drinks sounded good but only have non-dairy milks and whole milk so did not order anything. Need more seating and inside needs a good cleaning. Service is meh, unfriendly, and non-interactive. If you're near, try it, but there is also a different boba tea shop and a sandwich shop right around the corner. read more

Terrible service, I mean, ridiculously bad. All of it is over priced as well. Go somewhere else!
