Roam & Brew is hands down our favorite coffee + matcha spot in Montebello, and the place we kept…read morecoming back to without even thinking twice. 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

Stopped by Mobar Coffee and really enjoyed their creative drink menu…read more The banana matcha coffee was fun and unique, with a noticeable banana flavor that made it feel playful and different from the usual matcha drinks you see everywhere. The horchata latte was a standout -- smooth, comforting, and nicely balanced with just the right amount of cinnamon sweetness. I also tried the almond croissant, which was flaky and satisfying, making it a solid pastry to pair with the drinks. Overall, Mobar Coffee is a great spot if you're looking for inventive flavors and something a little outside the box. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty drinks.

Oh my goodness. Starbucks who??? I may have found my new…read moreFAVORITE coffee spot. I have been on a quest to try different coffee spots in my surrounding areas, but this spot may bring me to a halt (lol). I didn't realize this little spot was here until a few weeks ago that my husband and I stopped by the brewery (after many times) to watch a game and have a few drinks. That's when we noticed the coffee bar. Service was friendly and they do have a good selection to choose from. I stopped on a Friday morning for fuel (coffee) before running errands, and went with the strawberry horchata cold foam. I was pleasantly surprised. It was perfect and not overly sweet. I also got a pistachio crescent, warm, and was delicious. I stopped by the following morning, and went with the pumpkin spice chai latte, which was perfect! And pistachio crescent to share with my son, which he ended up taking, despite him not having a sweet tooth for baked goodies like I do. Highly recommend this little spot!!

I'm going to keep it short: my drink is consistently good, the baristas are mostly very very nice,…read moreand the environment is nothing special. The last time I reviewed it was because I had a particularly bad experience with an employee, and this update to my last review is because of the same issue with a different employee by the name of Anna-Yi (?) I swear the baristas behind the counter here are some of the nicest workers I've encountered, so I'm confused as to why it's always someone in management who breaks that streak? I'm not even that delicate to where every unpleasant interaction deserves a review, I just actually can't believe these things until I write them down. I was waiting for my drink (small iced latte, exxtra ice in a large cup) when I heard my name called and a barista was waiting for me to tell me that I had to pay for the extra milk to fill the large cup. I explained that I wanted no extra milk and that I expected a cup full of ice, to which she argued with me in every possible direction, even insinuating that she was going to have to "re-train" the barista who rang me up. I asked her if she would feel satisfied with me paying for the "extra" milk as long as the cup isn't filled to the top and she just goes "Oh if you don't want extra milk then you don't have to pay for it." and from there I just agreed with everything she said. I was too dizzy to stand my own ground at that point. Completely unnecessary. Prime example of someone riding a power trip.

After a long morning, I needed some coffee. I am so happy I chose this location. I came for the Ube…read moreflavors. They get people in and out. Service is great. You can sit inside or outside. It's a cute little spot. I ordered a horchata Ube with a shot of espresso with oat milk. It was sooo good. I never tried horchata coffee before and makes me happy I was finally able to try it. The cinnamon flavor was so flavorful with the ube. I could drink this every single day. That's how good it was. I also got a bagel which was jalapeno cheddar and they warmed it up. I added some cream cheese and it was a nice snack to have with my coffee. Every bite had cheese and jalapeño pieces. This place is worth trying. You will not regret it.

Plus they make fresh bagels! Can't wait to come back. We went thru the drive-thru. Yes, they were young kids making the coffee. Yes, they were talking and didn't start making the coffee until we pulled up to the window. But the wait wasn't long and everything we ordered was good.

Everything looked soooo good -- like the kind of place where you stand there for 10 minutes trying to decide. I kept it simple and got the iced horchata de olla. It was good! Not life-changing, but definitely enjoyable.

I honestly love coming here in the mornings when I drop my mom off at work. It's slowly become one…read moreof my favorite little morning stops. Their Café Oaxaca is soooo good -- and that's saying something because I'm not even a coffee drinker lol. Somehow they converted me, at least temporarily. I'm also a huge fan of their chipotle bacon and egg breakfast biscuit. It's super tasty, but I will say you'll probably want a drink with it because the bread can be a little on the dry side. Still delicious though. Now let's talk about their chocolate-filled croissant... I'm obsessed. If you know me, you know I'm a SUCKER for croissants. Wee wee It's flaky, chocolatey, and exactly what I want in the morning. Their conchas are also really good and definitely worth grabbing. One thing I really love about this place that most people might not know is that they let you take their used coffee grounds for gardening. I've actually used them on my grass and, not gonna lie, it's helped it grow tremendously. So not only am I leaving with pastries, I'm apparently leaving with lawn care supplies too lol. Overall, great little spot for coffee, pastries, and breakfast. I'll definitely keep stopping by on my morning drop-offs.

You'll want a second cup. I also bought their strawberry matcha and fell in love with it. You cannot go wrong with any of the drinks. Absolutely delicious.

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art. The girl had talent! This place has also given back. They helped with the LA fires last year. So bonus points for places who give back. (They gave back to the Pasadena humane society) There was a pretty big line and it was pretty loud in here, but it went by very fast. My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy. They had Sabrina carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo specials and they even had a Lana Del Rey latte (cinnamon girl, named after her song) only thing that bummed me out They had a case with delicious pastries. But since I came here later in the day, they only had a couple stragglers left behind -they open at 7 am, for everyone needing their morning coffee -vegan options -free WiFi -woman owned -LGBTQ owned -they give back to the community
