I had an unexpectedly lovely experience at Ten Thousand Coffee (Monterey Park). I ordered the Black Sesame Einspanner ($6.95 - 12oz - 2 Shots of Espresso). WOW!! It's clean coffee with a perky, punch of energy. When stirred, it grows creamy with the faint aftertaste of peanut/sesame butter. I felt happy. I arrived at Ten Thousand Coffee (Monterey Park) on Tuesday (around 9:54AM). Parking is very EASY. The customer parking lot is BIG! Counter Staff is friendly, welcoming, and busy. Staff (receipt says Ashley) provided good recommendations. Ashley maintained a cheerful smile and quick service. However, this business felt strangely strict. It felt like management was looming from the corner just watching carefully. My drink took about one minute and 47 seconds. Good time. As mentioned, I ordered the Black Sesame Einspanner ($6.95 - 12oz - 2 Shots of Espresso). It's delicious, functional coffee. There's an appreciated strength when not stirred, but when it's all mixed, it all felt carefully balanced out. The drink had a comfy harmony as I sipped. The familiar flavor of clean, fresh coffee was accompanied by a light, cuddly sweetness. I ADORE this coffee. YUM! On ambiance, Ten Thousand Coffee (Monterey Park) felt a little awkward. There were photos of "banned customers" near the register. Staff (I assume management) would repeatedly peak into the main area and fuss over details. And the music was uncomfortably loud at times. Regardless, this location was popular and filled with customers working on their laptops. Concerning utility, Ten Thousand Coffee (Monterey Park) had about three electrical outlets embedded into the long bench. There's also customer internet with password by the cash register. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom, and I counted about nine interior tables. Fortunately, this business is well-ventilated and comfortable. Overall, Ten Thousand Coffee (Monterey Park) exceeded my expectations. The low Yelp rating had originally dissuaded me from attempting this establishment, but I'm thankful that a local friend had encouraged me to still try. Although this location's vibe didn't feel the most friendly, I sincerely enjoyed the quality coffee. If you love coffee, I happily recommend. 4.9 out of 5. GO!!! read more

I've been here several times and have gotten the Einspanner, Matcha Einspanner, Espresso Cream Latte (pictured right), Black Sesame Latte Einspanner, and Purple Sweet Potato Latte (pictured left). They are ALL deliciously sweet and milky. That being said, I agree with most reviewers that say the drinks need to have a stronger taste of caffeine. My solution to this has been to add a shot of espresso and IT WORKS! I wish I didn't have to add that, which is why I took a star away. I've gotten some of these drinks on repeat and they taste the same every single time no matter who the barista is. Staff is kind, patient, and fast. The location is small and the plaza is popular, but I've never run into issues finding parking or feeling uncomfortably crowded. Great location surrounded by lots of dining and shopping. I'm local so sometimes I take a brisk walk to the cafe, sit and read for a while with my drinky drink, then walk home. I especially love that it replaced the Starbucks! I hope this place stays for a long time. read more

Ten Thousand Coffee - Purple Sweet Potato Latte and Espresso Cream Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

The matcha foam is sweet and has a fair amount of matcha taste, but it's really creamy! The coffee is strong in both the black sesame and the matcha foams. The black sesame is very not sweet but I think the barista accidentally put "no added sugar" in the order. The drinks are so pretty and intricate! They are a bit on the pricier side for the size you get. It looked like it was his first time working there. Then again, it is relatively new so they're working out the kinks. It's a really good study/work space. read more

There's a large parking lot to get here. Inside is clean but quite sterile looking. The staff are nice. I got the sweet potato latte. I'm curious if they have gotten comments over it. The staff mentioned it didn't have caffeine which is ashame because that's what's expected from a latte. Otherwise, it's was just okay as a warm flavored milk. read more

Ten Thousand Coffee - Strawberry matcha and tiramisu einspanner (seasonal) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Ten Thousand Coffee? Never heard of it. Seeing that this chain has locations all over the world, I knew I had to try it soon. We arrived to this spot this past Sunday at around 10:35 AM. We were greeted immediately and the girl working the register went ahead and explained all of their top drinks since it was our first time. We ordered the following: **Onyx Latte: The top of the drink tasked like water with a hint of chocolate. When mixed up and drank with a straw, it tasted like watered down chocolate. Not only did I not taste any cold brew, the whole drink was watered down. Easily the more disappointing cold brew based drink I have ever had in my life. Did they forget the cold brew or was it prepared very very poorly? (0/5) **Einspanner: You can taste a hint of espresso within the drink but it was so light. It was semi sweet and the cream was nothing special. The presentation was also not appealing. I generally like einspanners from other spots but this one was absolutely subpar. (2/5) What a huge disappointment, Ten Thousand Coffee. We paid $15 for a watered down chocolate drink and a you-can-barely-taste-espresso einspanner. The cups were also terrible - the lid is poorly designed that you need to use a straw unless you want to spill all over yourself with the opening being towards the middle of the cup. The only good thing from this visit was the excellent customer service and the subtle interior aesthetics. read more

#189 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Ten Thousand Coffee is an international specialty coffee brand that originated in Australia but was popularized in South Korea. The brand essentially combined the tenets of South Korean cafe culture with the specialty roasting techniques and coffee bean profiles of Australia. As for the brand name, it was inspired by the amount of time their team invested into creating their menu and perfecting their specialty coffee. Ten Thousand Coffee recently opened their first West Coast franchise storefront in Monterey Park, located where the Starbucks used to be. My friend and I stopped by a week after their grand opening, and luckily there was no line. We tried the Black sesame einspanner and the Jeju green tangerine matcha. The espresso in the einspanner was a bold dark roast that paired perfectly with the sweet and nutty black sesame cream. The tangerine matcha was a citrusy sparkling beverage with just a hint of matcha, and it was pretty refreshing in the afternoon heat. We enjoyed both drinks, and will likely return to try out the rest of their menu. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

I was intrigued to see this Sydney-based chain take over the old Starbucks on Atlantic Blvd. With locations in NYC and Seoul, it's a bold addition to the neighborhood, even if it feels like a bit of an "odd" fit for the area. The aesthetic is ultra-modern -- crisp white walls and minimalist furniture. Indoor seating is tight, though there are a few tables outside. I tried their signature Einspanner ($6.95), a cream latte recommended by the staff. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. The cream was so thick it wouldn't incorporate into the espresso, and the presentation felt a bit messy with the heaps of cream sitting awkwardly over the ice. It's clear the shop is still finding its footing. While I'm happy to see more variety in Monterey Park, there are better coffee spots nearby. I might return eventually, but I'm not in any rush. read more

This new spot in Monterey Park is really nicely designed. I love the aesthetic of the interior, and the coffee was honestly impressive. The black sesame Einspanner and the Onyx latte were both really good and unique. Their specialty drinks definitely stand out and feel like a step above the usual coffee shop menu. There's plenty of indoor seating along with outlets and wifi, so it's a solid place to get work done. The wifi only lasts an hour at a time, but you can reconnect easily. They also charge an extra dollar for additional cups, which probably won't matter unless you specifically need one. There's outdoor seating as well, and the location is super convenient since it's in a plaza surrounded by different food spots and markets. I would definitely come back again for both the Onyx latte and the black sesame Einspanner. read more

With everything going up in price, it's hard to not have a reaction with hefty price tags, and this place is no exception. I will say, it was a very tasty and decadent cup of calories. I had the Einspänner and it was delicious. The place was simple, clean and nice. The service was good - informative, patient and friendly. I would go back for a treat here and there, but can't afford to be a regular. I would say you gotta give it a try and see how you like it. read more

This new coffee shop just opened up in the Atlantic Square in Monterey Park, replacing the Starbucks that used to be in the plaza next to Yogurtland. They specialize in quality coffee and the signature Einspanner, with locations in New York City, Seoul, Taiwan, Vietnam, Manila, and now Monterey Park. They're currently in their grand opening week (May 2 - May 8) with their $1 promo deal for their signature drinks (Einspanner, Onyx latte, Matcha Einspanner, and Espresso cream latte) to the first 100 customers. They open at 7am, and I came on Monday around 8am and was able to claim the $1 deal. The first 100 was claimed by around 8:30am. It was pretty busy in the early weekday morning, but started to slow later in the morning. According to their website, this coffee shop originated from Sydney, Australia with the name 10000' originating from the "10,000-hours" their team invested into creating the perfect cup of coffee. Their NYC, Sydney, and Decaf coffee blends are crafted from hand-selected, specialty-grade beans at local roasting facilities in Brooklyn, N.Y. I got their Matcha Einspanner which is an espresso latte with a matcha cream top. I got this with almond milk which was an additional $1 charge (but worth considering the drink itself was only $1 from the promo). The espresso flavor was really well-balanced and I enjoyed the flavor of the drink with the almond milk. The matcha cream was sweet with some flavor of matcha, though not that strong. I really enjoyed their mini mango lattice pastry! It had a mango filling that was not too sweet inside a flaky, lattice-topped crust, and it was only $1.50. I had it warmed up, and it was delectable. There is a good amount of tables and seats available inside and outside, along with outlets along the bench seat inside. They offer free guest wifi. Overall a great new addition to the plaza! Would definitely come back to try their other specialty drinks! read more

On a recent Monday in late afternoon , I took the opportunity to try out this new cafe in Monterey Park because of close proximity to my next event. It's a small corner cafe, with bright, minimalistic modern design. The tone is bright and warm. Service is very friendly. The barista recommends their Einspanner iced which is their signature cream latte serve with expresso. It's basically a double shot expresso with cream and powders with ice cube. I like the layers of taste, it's much more than regular iced double shot expresso, but of course I finished it rather quickly lol. I love expresso in general. They do offer WiFi, small tables, the ambiance is actually welcoming. Not recommended for big party or large gatherings more than four. read more

I came twice for the 1 dollar promotion during their opening week and I thought it was great! I got the matcha einspanner both times and I think they make a great cream top however I will say their consistency needs work. The first matcha einspanner I got was great. The cream top had a perfect consistency and the espresso woke me up instantly. However the second time I got the matcha einspanner, the cream top was clumpy and not as well presented it is their morning rush though! I can appreciate the drinks coming out quick and fast ! It only took 2 mins or so after I ordered. I will say if you're looking for a less creamy drink then I would opt for the lattes. The einspanner drinks are very cream and milk forward. I think this place is pretty aesthetic and can double as a study spot since they open early or a place to catch up with friends. read more

Ten Thousand Coffee - Matcha einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Drinks were great and is what kept it up at 4 star review but service was quite odd.. Long story short, staff need more training and only 1 staff (Kyle) was helpful and made my entire experience more than better that I would still come back. Staff taking our order needs a ton of training, we visited on a Wed 5/13/2026 around 9:30am. She had a hard time finding most of the buttons on the POS system, which was understandable since it was a new coffee shop that just opened last week. Asked if she liked the Matcha Einspanner, her response was quite off putting. She awkwardly laughed and hesitantly said "uhh yes..? I think it's ok" Ordered 3 drinks, she said the total was only about $14. I confirmed if she got all 3 drinks for my order, she repeated and confirmed my 3 drink order but also went ahead and added my 3rd drink. The final total made more sense. However, after my final total she rendered my order for me to pay. All my cards were declined, not sure what happened. I tried 3 different cards and 4 different times (3 taps, 1 final inserted card). Luckily, my colleague came with me and she added other drinks to the order and she was able to tap to pay with no issues. I thought something had happened to my entire wallet and all my cards were jeopardized, that was not the case. My card worked fine at the Ralphs in shared plaza about 5 minutes after. There was also a mix up with my order. The staff that took my order went to an older Korean staff to have them correct the order. They were both very confused with each other. Kyle stepped in and explained to both of them how to correct the order. Not only did he help correct and explain what was wrong to them while he was busy making other drinks, he also made sure to ask if rest of my order was correct. Without Kyle today, I don't think I would be returning. If Kyle is there every time I visit I would be extremely happy. Matcha Einspanner -first time ever seeing Matcha cold foam over espresso. Surprisingly the matcha shines through the expresso and you can takes both. Slightly too sweet but still enjoyable. Matcha Latte -solid matcha drink. Also slightly too sweet. Purple Sweet Potato Latte - really good, tasted as I expected it to. Black Sesame Einspanner - as expected, strong black sesame and good coffee. Onyx Latte - tasted like watered down Cacao water, not creamy or a even a trace of coffee flavor. Would not order this again. Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha -wow soo good and refreshing. Love the carbonation. Not too sweet. Dark Chocolate Latte -topped with chocolate shaving and added a some texture to the creamy chocolate milk. If you need to grab something for a kiddo this might be good. Not too sweet. read more

I was one of the first 100 people that got their $1 drink special. I decided to try the matcha einspanner and my friend got the einspanner. For their syrups , it is only $1 extra. The good thing about their drinks is that it could come either hot or cold. The lids are to the side when you go to pick up your drink. The drinks also came out pretty quickly despite a line that formed. Inside they offered seats and free WiFi. They also have seating outside. Their promotion is still going on this week. read more

Ten Thousand Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Tried this place in New York before and loved it, so I was really excited when they opened one right in Monterey park and honestly, the exact same thing, still loving it. I came during their grand opening special where certain signature drinks were only $1. I got the Onyx Latte and the Einspanner latte, and both were really good. The coffee flavor was strong and blended really well with the drinks without being overly sweet. Honestly a perfect balance but I do wish they had an option to reduce the sweetness for the Onyx latte though. There's a good amount of seating but it does get busy during the morning (maybe because it is new?), and they offer free WiFi for an hour, making it a nice spot to get some work done. Service was really friendly, helpful, and fast. Parking was also really easy. Would definitely come back! read more

Have only been aware of Ten Thousand coffee in New York when I was done with my trip and haven't had any chance to go back there and paid a visit. Uberly excited knowing it's now here in LA! They're still offering $1 coffee for first 100 visitors in the day. Visiting at noon obviously I was no longer entitled to it within the quota, but hey not a showstopper from trying. The coffee shop was aesthetically designed and provided nice sitting spaces with plenty of plugs. They did call out that wifi use's limited to an hour for the guest, good initiative so people didn't sit forever and enable turnaround with other guests for sure. The baristas and servers were all super friendly and attentive, making the busy cafe able to still serve the guests efficiently. I got their signature Onyx Latte, which was basically their house cold brew with chicory and black cacao, coming in 12oz or 16oz size option. I went for the big one and they did offer dairy substitute for additional $1. It tasted quite peculiar to my palate, somewhat like smokey-ish #IYKYK. Give it a try just so you answered your own curiosity. If you wanted some light bites, they did offer mini pastries that with reheat options! read more

Very cute space, with some outlets by the benches tables. Seating doesn't look like it'd be the ~most~ comfy for extending study time, and about 7-8 tables that could accommodate ~16 people total. Free WiFi too & restroom for customers. Menu seems a bit limited (they did just open) but seems like a great option for coffee lovers. Personally not a coffee connoisseur so I added extra sweetener to my Einspanner - foam/cream was so yummy! Strong coffee flavor alone. I got almond milk and it didn't seem to affect the taste/drink much or at all. One of the baristas seemed to be very familiar with the menu and was very helpful when picking my drink/milk/blend. May come back here due to its close proximity to ELAC! read more

I ordered the strawberry matcha Einspanner. It was really good. My pic does no justice on how pretty it looked in person. It's sweet not exaggerated just perfect for me. Now, What I do not agree with is the sizing of the drink. They don't want to sell you a bigger size. They have 2 sizes for iced drinks. The one I ordered comes in the smaller size. It was around $7 for that size. I did ask why won't they offer the bigger size and I was told that it's because of the measurements of what they put in the drink. Idk lol it's a bummer hopefully they change that one minor detail one day lol read more

First visit since this location changed over from Starbucks, and I'm glad to see an independent concept take its place. From what I've learned, Ten Thousand Coffee has locations in popular markets like New York and New Jersey, and it definitely seems like a brand that's on the rise. The shop itself was clean, bright, and refreshing. Surprisingly, I was the only customer when I stopped by, but I hope this place gains more traction because I enjoyed it much more than the previous coffee chain. While the drink menu isn't extensive, the selections they do offer are thoughtfully curated. I ordered their signature Einspänner along with the spinach feta Danish. Since I was in a hurry, I appreciated how quickly my order was prepared. They also had an impressive display of pastries and desserts that looked delicious. I really liked the minimalist, modern design and the overall cleanliness of the space. As for the coffee, the Einspänner was refreshing and well-balanced. I've had stronger versions elsewhere, but this one was smooth and easy to enjoy. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first experience. Unfortunately, I didn't take any picture. We'll do next time I'll definitely be back. read more

I've had the pleasure of trying 10000 in New York and I am so happy to see that they opened one in SoCal and especially in the SGV area AND a plaza that needs more customers. Right when walking in we were greeted and there was a male barista that was super welcoming and kind. I would definitely take their specialty drinks over the normal coffees that you can get elsewhere. I really loved the einspanner and it's nice to know I can get these types of drinks and not having to drive to LA. There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I didn't get to try their pastries but it did look appetizing! Excited for 10000 and hope they continue to expand. read more

Been wanting to try this place since it was constantly coming up on my for you page. Finally went in... place is nice... small. CLEAN! However walking in I wasn't greeted..When I was making my order the barista was either extremely shy or trying to be very quiet.. pretty much whispered.. it was strange. Both baristas were extremely concentrated on making drinks. In their own little world. I ordered an espresso cream latte. 0/10. I did not taste any espresso at all. Pure cream.... I actually came home and added more coffee to my drink. oh! There was another man making coffee? And then also sat on his computer where customers would sit? Zero interaction with any customers? I Waited 15-20 min for my 1 drink... Nothing really stuck out to me to as to where I want to go back...yeeeah... read more

The drink I got was neither coffee nor matcha. It seems like they are know for their einspanner. Maybe I'll try that next time but after reviewing the menu for a couple of minutes, I decided to go for one of their non caffeinated drink, a sweet purple potatoes latte. First sip, leaves a smooth creamy taste in your mouth. It tastes like some kind of cereal. They added dry slices of the potato as decor on top of the cup. The only bad thing I can say is that you must drink your drink fast because it loses its taste the longer you take to finish your drink. Will not taste how it did in the beginning as the flavor subsides. Service was friendly and patient since a lot of people asked them the same question. Small but cute shop with an outdoor patio. Their pastries look good but I will have to try next time. read more

I love when a new coffee shop opens up near me so I had to give it a try. First of all, I love that the menu is so simple. It definitely has charm and a chill atmosphere. It's not like Starbucks, overcrowded, overpriced and noisy. Hopefully it stays that way. That being said, I wasn't too impressed with the taste. I'll definitely have to give it another try. I got the dark chocolate latte (non coffee drink) and it just tasted like cold chocolate milk. Which is fine . My sister got the tiramisu einspanner. It looked delicious and she enjoyed it. So I think I'll try that next time. The only bummer is , it only comes in one size. Employees were very friendly. Which is always a plus. read more

Their weird subpar rating doesn't actually reflect their coffee quality, but it's interesting to see because what it does reflect is the tough competition that Ten Thousand is facing in the area, and it really opened at the wrong time. First thing first: the drinks. We had a House special Einspanner with thick cream on top. The thick cream is very nice, but IMO doesn't really mix with the drink below super well because it's too thick. The pour-over was pretty nice and generally on par with other pour overs in the area. Overall, I'd give both drinks a 4/5. Decor is nice. The two baristas were very friendly, but the one lady - who seems to be the owner - looked like she didn't want to be there. Pastries get a 3/5 - they were okay (butter croissant, mini pain au chocolate & mini cheese croissant), not super flakey. Just a year ago, there was no Yihui, no Re:bakesic, no Monolith. Had it opened then, I probably would have come here a lot more often because the nearest place that offers something similar is Tilt in DTLA or Danbi in Pasadena. But now with the storm of great coffee shops opening within a 1-3 miles radius, I don't foresee Ten Thousand capturing the majority of coffee drinkers. The ones who are picky about roast and beans will probably pick Yihui/Monolith; the ones who want a dessert under the guise of coffee will go to Starbucks where they have more options. Ten Thousand gets a solid 4/5 from me. Their 1 star reviews on Google were laughably the result of wrong opening strategies - apparently they decided to do a promo of $1/coffee for the first 100 customers of the day. What this probably did was attracting the wrong type of customers. If you want to sell fancy schmancy coffee, don't try to attract people who want to pay $1 for a coffee...... because then they'll complain about it being not $1 in the long run. If your target audience is the people who are willing to pay however much it costs for a drink they like, price accordingly. See what Monolith is doing - they price their drinks to be exclusive, and their lines have been crazy ever since they opened. Whether or not Ten Thousand is a "great" coffee spot or not depends on what other places you've tried. If you demand the best coffees, it probably will not please you as much as Yihui, Monolith, Tilt, or a little farther, Kumquat and Loquat. But compared to Leaflet or other "coffee" places in the area before 2025 hit, it's a solid spot. read more

The employees are very welcoming and helpful. I liked the aesthetic of the cafe. I ordered the einspanner (12 oz) . Everyone is right you need to add an extra shot of espresso.
