Food product by customer seating area
Anika M.

This location is a busier than others and they also have a drive thru. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but the drive thru had one car and the inside had 6 guests total including myself. As I walking in there was a foul smell and the floor was sticky. They were out of quite a few baked goods so I purchased just a drink. As I sat down and waited for my drink I notified the table had a sticky spill on it. I also notified that there was a pile of boxes near me. All the boxes were milk and food but they were all on the floor in the sun. I don't believe proper food handling is happening in this specific scenario but it did make me question their other best practices. Once my drink was prepared I went to the counter to retrieve it. Once I touched my cup it was partially their sticky counter. This location needs to do a bit of house keeping throughout the day as they are located in a high traffic area.

This was my first time at Coffee Bean, Ayleen assisted me, I made her aware is was my first time, I made her aware I'm not a true coffee drinker and she recommend me a latte, I chose the White Chocolate Latte and it's so good and sweet, somewhat taste like horchata.. the service was good, drive through was clear, literally got my drink within 4 minutes, I was able to make it to work. The best part of this experience is that she gave me 2 stickers. Thank you Ayleen:)

Really cozy spot to relax and enjoy a treat. I got the Cookie Butter Latte and a chocolate muffin and both were so good. The latte was creamy and perfectly spiced and the muffin was rich and moist. The place is clean with lots of natural light and the service was actually really friendly and quick. I had a nice experience overall and would definitely come back for that latte again.

Trash! trash! trash!! My blended drink isn't completely blended so I'm having a hard time drinking it! Plus their WiFi sucks! Ended up using my hotspot for internet anyways

Vietnamese Cold Brew Coffee
Joseph M.

Was on the road to San Diego getting gas at Costco and I needed to get some coffee on the road and this place was just there so I thought why not. I came in and ordered a Vietnamese cold brew. The coffee was good. The service was okay and the bathroom was clean. The location of this coffee shop is convenient because it's right next to the Costco which means there's a lot of parking available.

The coffee is good but the morning service is horrible. You need to change your hours if you're always opening late! It's disappointing.

Iced coffee with oat milk. Not sure how you screw this up, but it tastes disgusting. We will never return to The Coffee Bean.

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. You can actually taste it, which sadly isn't a given these days. My boyfriend's go-to is the vanilla cold brew with a splash of whole milk, and it never misses. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, just really well done. Beyond the drinks, the vibe is what really sets Roam & Brew apart. It's always busy for a reason. Friendly staff, welcoming energy, and a place that genuinely feels like it was built for the community. You never feel rushed or like just another order. Consistency, quality, and care are everything in a coffee shop, and Roam & Brew nailed all three. It's obvious how much thought goes into what they serve and how they show up for customers. Montebello is lucky to have had this spot, and it's a huge loss to see them go. If you're reading this and still have a chance to visit, do it. This place truly deserved the love it got

This place is legit run by Guatemalans which was pretty cool. I recently visited Guatemala so it was fun to chat with the waiter who noticed my shirt (I was coincidentally wearing a shirt I bought in Guatemala with a picture of Tikal lol). Anywaaaay - I tried the trio tostadas, a tamal and a Mayan iced latte. The tostadas were great. They were very fresh. They're very simple. One is black bean, one is avacado and one is chicken salad. My favorite was the chicken salad. I used their green salsa and it was delicious. The tamales was good. Today I learned I don't really like the flavor of banana leaf that gets absorbed into the tamal. Also, it was primarily made of rice. It had a piece of bell pepper, a little chicken and I think a plum. Aside from the banana leaf I liked the tamale. The latte was delicious. Nice coffee flavor and sweetened perfectly. Definite recommend and I will for sure be back.

I've been wanting to try this spot for almost a year after seeing all the hype on Instagram. 4…read moreweekend attempts last year, lines out the door, so I finally stopped by on a weekday when I was nearby. I went with the Mayan Mocha, the tamal Chapin, and a chuchito. The Mayan Mocha was the standout. It had this bold, sweetish flavor with notes I've never tasted in coffee before. The tamal Chapin was a bit bland overall and had very little chicken inside. The chuchito had a nice salsa with good flavor, but the masa itself felt a little dry with each bite, even though it was bathed in sauce. The coffee alone makes this place worth a visit.

Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab has been long overdue for a rating from me. I've been here multiple times…read moreand have even racked up quite a few points through their membership program. It's a wonderful spot to study as long as you get there early. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the drinks are consistently made fresh and served piping hot. There's also a solid variety of food options to choose from. I've had the chance to try a few items: the Dubai chocolate mochi (4/5), the breakfast burrito (4/5), and the breakfast sliders (5/5). The sliders are especially good--kind of like a stacked sandwich with egg, sauces, and jam that all come together really well. My go-to drink is the Bori Cano, which is my current seasonal favorite. It's a unique mix w cream top over an Americano, with barley tea on the bottom. It's perfect for keeping me going during long study sessions. I'm really glad to have a place like this in Monterey Park where I can settle in and get work done. As for parking, there are only about five spots right in front of the café, but there are two larger lots on either side with no time limits, which makes things much easier.

I took my chance to visit this Korean cafe a block away from the hotel early morning before my…read morecheck out. Their register wasn't working so everyone had to pay in Zelle or Venmo, including exact change in cash. The guy was welcoming and recommended me to try the Kimchi Musubi Croissant and the Garlic Cheese Bread since this was my first time here. I ordered their popular Honey Bori Latte in almond milk ($1 extra) with less sweetness and the Kimchi Musubi Croissant, which you can request to heat it up. The Bori latte didn't have much honey flavor and a bit watery, but I liked the puff rice topping that made it unique. Kimchi Musubi croissant was flaky and flavorful, but I wish they added more kimchi since it was more like eating a spam croissant. Overall, I'm glad I came here early before I left Monterey Park. It was less crowded an hour after opening and I like their 90s rnb playlist. I even love their cute mascot sticker. Highly recommend coming back to visit and download their app if you come frequently to earn rewards and discounts.

The foam with the custom latte art cost an extra $2 but I think it was worth it, at least for my first time. To be honest, Honey Greens seemed like a gimmicky place since I thought the foam art was all that it was known for, but no, their drink quality was actually good! I got the agave matcha latte for myself, and I enjoyed how rich it tasted and how vibrant it was in color. I also added a cold foam which made it too sweet for me. Next time, I plan on ordering an unsweetened matcha latte and add cold foam as the sweetener. I also tried a sip of the lavender matcha and that was the one thing I didn't like because the lavender overpowered the matcha. It was pretty busy for a Friday afternoon with all the tables filled and a short line formed after I walked in. The workers were all so kind, and it was overall a very inviting place with fun decorations and a myriad of art options for the cold foam.
