We saw this place on Instagram and so glad to know they are local to us. The food is excellent and staff is great. This is a Mom and daughter restaurant serving Mediterranean food. We came for brunch and I had this delicious crepe with cheese, cucumbers and za'atar. My husband is allergic to eggs but he had the classic breakfast and they substituted eggs for avocado which they suggested. He really enjoyed the toast, bacon, potatoes and avocado. We sat on the patio which was nice. They do have a small dinning room inside and a place to host small gatherings where you can do hookah. read more

I've been a regular customer here for quite some time and have always made a purchase when visiting, whether it's a coffee, Coke, or food. Today, my friend and I ordered a Coke and an ice water and sat in the lounge area to work on assignments. The café was far from full, with only a couple of other people in the lounge and plenty of open seating available. After about an hour, the owner came over and rudely told us we were "holding two tables over a Coke" and pressured us to order more. I understand businesses need customers to make purchases, but there is a respectful way to communicate that. What made the situation worse was that after I ordered a coffee, she immediately turned to my friend and basically stared him down with a strict look, clearly expecting him to order something too. I explained that we were going to split the coffee, because we're both trying to lose weight, but she continued making the situation uncomfortable. Staring down a customer and making them feel pressured to spend more money is not how you treat paying customers. What makes this even more frustrating is that the menu is already severely overpriced for what is offered. On multiple occasions, I've heard the microwave running while food was being prepared. Paying premium prices for what appears to be microwaved food is disappointing enough without being pressured to spend even more. Even though we only ordered a Coke initially, and have only done that once before, we were still spending money. As regular customers who come here often, you would think that would be appreciated rather than criticized. Be thankful people are still choosing to spend money at your business. Honestly, after today's experience, it's no wonder this place is often empty. Customer service and hospitality matter, and making customers feel unwelcome, guilty, or pressured to spend more is a great way to drive them away. The interaction was uncomfortable enough that I asked for my food to be packed to go and left. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. It's a cafe, not a 5 star restaurant. People want to come here to work on assignments or have a coffee and talk. Even though I didn't want to spend 9 dollars on a coffee, I still purchased something. Edit from her Google response: Now you guys see what type of owner she is by her response. Truly, truly a fake person, and we always spend money coming here (now she wants to lie and manipulate since I have her attention). I always purchase a coffee and more, and I have receipts to prove it. I do not use her WiFi for free, as I am not a rude person unlike her. I don't just order a soda like this owner claims; see my receipts on my credit card. My friend and I ordered drinks and were talking and doing assignments for about half an hour (while she and her waiter came up to us like 10 times to ask us to order, even though this is a cafe), even though we said we would order later. If you're broke, just say so, lady. Trust me, at this rate, this place will close down soon. Like I said, this is a cafe where people come to have a drink, relax, talk, study, or work on assignments; not a restaurant where customers are expected to order a full meal every time they sit down. We purchased drinks, planned to order more later, and were still repeatedly approached and pressured to order. Please do yourself a favor and stop lying to the public. I did not come here four times and just use the WiFi. I paid for the WiFi with my extremely expensive and disgusting coffee and food, which is shown below in the receipts. I did not buy $2 sodas every time. The receipts I attached are from my card, but on many of the other visits my friend paid with his card and spent just as much. So trying to claim that we were sitting here for free or only ordering a soda is simply not true.Now that I have proved you wrong in front of the public, I hope everyone sees you for who you are. You are a money-hungry liar! Lastly, you are right; you're not Starbucks. Starbucks would not treat customers that way, and I'd much rather spend my money at Starbucks anyway.Glad we're on the same page! read more

The Red Cafe - Proof that i didn't just order cokes like she insisted in her google review lol. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Glendora, California

Holy beans this place is expensive for coffee! I'm not a Glendora local so take it with a grain on salt but I needed a quick coffee pit stop for the drive back home after being on the mountain and this spot was open until 5pm. I ordered a large honey latte with oat milk. What I got was a $7 12oz latte + $1.50 for alt milk + $.24 surcharge + tax & tip = almost $11 for my coffee :/ I don't know if this is par for the course in this area but coming from San Diego a large latte is usually 16oz and alt milk is maybe $1 extra (and a lot of places don't upcharge). I also appreciate if surcharges are up front. The girl that took the order was great, my latte was a delight for what it was, but I will look for alternatives next time I'm in the area read more

This review is based on my visit on the morning of Valentine's Day. This place popped up on a search for coffee in the area. It was only a 2 minute walk from where we were so we decided to check it out. On the outside was a holiday themed drink menu and the Butter Me Up sounded like something we'd enjoy. It was a cookie butter latte which whipped cookie butter and a cookie crumble on top. It may sound very sweet but it was actually perfectly balanced and allowed the strength of the espresso to come through. The barista was very kind and patient with us. She also let us know that they were hosting a karaoke night later that day. We waited in the patio connected to the cafe for our drinks. It was a very lovely day so the sun and scenery was nice and peaceful. Definitely looking forward to another visit read more

highly recommend this cafe, been going there for years and always great service, amazing food, and best hookah experience

Have brunch with some girlfriends on a rainy day. This a cute place with plenty of seating indoors and in their covered patio area. Even though we were there for brunch, my three friends were in the mood for their lunch menu LOL. Our server (maybe owner?) was accommodating and made them lunch. Our food was very good and flavorful. Portions were perfect; we ate everything. We were able to just relax and chat without feeling rushed out of the restaurant. I would definitely come back. read more

Met up with my friend Te-See today for a lovely lunch at The Red Cafe. This was a great find by her! Plenty of seating indoors as well as outside. There's also a hookah lounge, but we didn't venture over there--not our thing. Jacqueline was our server and she was so sweet and helpful. She knew the menu very well and prided herself on making the best brown sugar lattes. Well, that was enough for me--we had to try one! I opted for the dine in cup because I wanted the design in my mug lol. It was remarkable! Sooooo good! I couldn't decide between the avocado toast, which my friend ordered and it looked incredible, or the beef shawarma. Jacqueline again suggested the shawarma, so I went with that as well! The serving size was perfect and it also came with a small side salad. The flavor was immaculate! I didn't think I'd finish it, but I did--I couldn't help myself! We were able to sit and chat for a couple of hours and didn't feel like we were hurried out of the place. I highly recommend this place! It was a lot of fun! read more

Wow, I don't know how this spot stays in business. It certainly can't be for the food. My wife and I picked up lunch the other day while downtown. It was hot enough that we took our order to go so we could eat inside our nicely chilled home. BOTH of us go sick from the food. Mine was Gyro sandwich. I was hit the hardest because I foolishly ate most of my lunch, even though the taste was 'questionable.' The Gyro meat was barely above room temp, the taziki was unlike any taziki I've ever had or hope to have again. And WTF is arugula doing on a Gyro sandwich. Don't trust this review? Simply ask for a taste of the taziki; if you like it this must be a place for you. I can't remember what my wife had, but she's a fairly cautious eater, usually chooses something that can't be messed up. She ate less than a third of her serving and threw it away..."well, we're not going there again." I had 24 hours of violent expulsions, her's were less violent and only for about 12 hours; she reported as very unpleasant and confirming "Nope, not again." Pricy to the edge of reason, but at any price I don't care for the after effects. It's a shame...I still long for the days like when Angelo's had an authentic Gyro spit with infrared heating. Now that...that was a Gyro with cucumber swimming in real Taziki, toasty Pita. Ah well, daze gone by. read more

We absolutely love this little gem in Glendora's uptown. I tried it for the first time and it exceeded my expectations. The food was mouthwatering and the service was outstanding! I tried their breakfast croissant and to drink, I had their Mexican hot latte! My food was so fresh and tasty, and the coffee was to die for! I appreciated the freshness of everything and the hot and delicious taste of my latte! This small cafe is highly recommended if you're looking for a fresh and delicious cup of coffee. Urth cafe doesn't even come close to this spot! The atmosphere is both cute and trendy, making it the ideal location for a peaceful day of relaxation. Outdoor dining with heaters is also available, which is a great feature! Check them out. read more

Came here with two of my good friends. The first thing that caught my attention was their incredible menu variety. And the fact that they still serve breakfast until 1pm was a huge plus. I got the "Too Classic" breakfast. My friends got the grilled cheese & tomato soup, and the gyro wrap. We also got green tea, iced matcha, and an iced honey bee latte. Everything was really great! The food was seasoned really well, portions were perfect, and the ingredients were of good quality as well. The vibes inside were super calming and nice too! Felt very homey and cozy. Staff were super kind as well; great customer service. 12/10 experience definitely will be coming back! :) read more

Ordered one drink and was sitting with my friend and having a good conversation and the owner (old lady) told us that we are taking up spots when there were many open seats available and pressured us to order food when we already ordered drinks in a very unprofessional way. We Owner made us feel very unwelcomed and very money hungry people. This is not a restraunt, it is a cafe. EDIT to the owners response: I would also like to clarify a few things regarding the owner's response. I have never used the café's Wi-Fi and instead use my own personal hotspot. We also do not visit as frequently as claimed.We typically come about once every 2-3 weeks. Over the months we have purchased food, iced coffees, drinks, and hookah on multiple visits. The last time we visited before this incident, we purchased iced coffees. On this visit, we ordered a Coca Cola and were taking our time deciding whether we wanted anything else. We were repeatedly approached and pressured to order more, and were told we were taking up seating despite there being only a few other customers in the café and several open tables available. What made this experience disappointing was not being asked to order, but the way we were treated. We felt uncomfortable, unwelcome, and embarrassed by the repeated pressure. As customers who have supported this business for months, we expected to be treated with more respect. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. Attached below was the owner (Lina aka the older lady owner) response and who made us extremely uncomfortable read more

Joseph was working alone this morning but provided excellent service, making sure we had what we need and were enjoying our brunch. The food was tasty and absolutely Mediterranean, as I have had French crepe to compare. The value of the food and drinks was well worth the value! I would definitely want to come back, seeing how calm and comfortable the cafe was decorated. I could even imagine studying or making plans in this positively vibing spot. read more

Quick stop for coffee! Honey bee latte iced was great. Shoutout to Jackeline(?) for being such a sweet barista helping me choose what to get! My bf and I were surprised at this little gem.

Very delicious! I had the gyro sandwich and it was so yummy. The waitress was really nice too!

Dropped in for a quick brunch on a Saturday and was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. A friendly greeting and a great ambiance on the back patio followed by a very good breakfast bagel and Mexican inspired mocha latte. I was quite surprised to see it lacking in only one thing--customers! While the other Glendora Ave restaurants are buzzing on a mid-Saturday morning, the Red Cafe is peacefully quiet despite the great ambiance, service, and food. It's possible people stay away because they used to focus more on hookah, but while they still offer it, they told me it's more often enjoyed in the evening leaving a beautiful patio and ambiance for the brunch and lunch crowds if they want to give this place a try again. I will certainly put it on my regular list as a Glendora resident and highly recommend it! read more

The Red Cafe - Breakfast bagel and Mocha Latte - Hookah Bars Near Me - Glendora, California

Was passing through Glendora looking for a breakfast place and found this cute Mediterranean cafe. The service was A1, very attentive and warm. The food is as organic as it can be and the owners even make their own bagels. Breakfast was awesome and the Spanish latte gave me nostalgic vibes from childhood when my grandmother made me coffee. Any time we visit, we'll definitely stop by again. Locals must be spoiled rotten!! 5 stars!! read more

The crepes were delicious. My daughter and I both had strawberry's with Nutella and whipped crème.

Despite the restaurant being busy, I was seated very quickly, which made for a great first impression. The food was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the orange mint hookah. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly, and the overall vibe made for a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back. read more

This place is horrible coffee is disappointing and expensive asf. If you like the taste of shit then come here. Very low quantity food and drinks. Dont get me started on the service it was bad. The lady with blonde hair and revealing clothes is very money hungry with bad vibes and is soooooo rude. The there is a black cat named Monkey just roaming around full of fleas all over the tables infecting everything where people eat. There is ash everywhere and it's just dirty. read more

Me and my wife come here every Sunday for breakfast and the food is amazing!!!! The staff is great and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. The service is amazing and I love their lattes. If you have time to speak with the owner, you will know how much she cares about making food and everything was made perfectly. She is genuinely a beautiful person and is passionate about her restaurant. If you're in town or near by, come by and try their food. Our favorite order for breakfast is the a chai latte with the croissant with egg, bacon and avocado. It is seasoned to perfection. read more

First time at this restaurant and wish we would have come sooner. We sat outside and even though it was in the high 80's there was a breeze blowing and it was very pleasant. I had a Savory Beef Crepe with mozzarella, lettuce and tomato and goddess dressing and a side salad. This was a perfect bland of flavors. The marinated meat was so tender and juicy you barely had to chew. My wife had Chicken Shawarma Wrap with chicken breast, garlic spread and pickles, wrapped in lavash bread and a side salad. Again, excellent flavor and wonderful juicy chicken. The side salad with house dressing lettuce tomato and cucumber was very refreshing. The owner chef and staff were very friendly. This is a must try. read more

My wife and I visited a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The location itself is beautiful and well-designed, which is why this was so frustrating. We had high hopes, especially given how close it is to where we live. The service, however, was extremely poor. We repeatedly had to get up and approach the server ourselves just to place our order, request drinks, clear empty plates, and even ask for the check. There were long stretches without being checked on. What made it more discouraging was noticing the same server being attentive and friendly to nearby tables, while we were largely ignored. The food also took quite a while to arrive, and the portions did not feel justified for the pricing. We had planned to order dessert, but given how long everything else took, we didn't want to spend another 30+ minutes waiting for a crepe. I'm not writing this to attack the business, my wife and I genuinely wanted to like it. But between the service, slow timing, and portion-to-price ratio, it unfortunately ruined the experience for us. Sadly, this will likely be our first and last visit. Sharing this so others can set their expectations accordingly. read more

I was excited to try this place, but it'll be our first and last visit. The food took forever, the "omelette" was just scrambled eggs with the toppings, and everything was overly greasy, the side toast was cold and hard. The menu has pictures that shows a side salad, but you only get a few berries instead. read more

My friend texted me this morning and asked if I had heard of this place. I lived walking distance for 8 1/2 years and never knew this was here. When she said the owners were Syrian, I knew I needed to check it out. I rushed to join her there and was met with the most delicious smells! And then greeted with amazing and warm, welcoming service. I ordered a seasonal coffee and a chicken shawarma wrap. The coffee was incredible! I don't like very sweet things but this was perfectly flavored without being overly sweet (if you come soon, it's the maple coffee with tahini). My wrap was delicious and the service impeccable! My friend gave me a taste of her breakfast sandwich that they had customized with Armenian meat and it was similarly yummy! We sat there for hours talking and catching up and the proprietor continued to bring us waters and never rushed us along. They also have an adorable patio setting that offers hookah (check for times) that we plan on bringing our monthly girls brunch to in January. I'm kicking myself for not knowing about The Red Cafe sooner but I will be coming back for sure! read more

Located in downtown Glendora, this spot offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. We stopped in for breakfast. Downtown offers other options but we gave this one a try Food was hot, fresh and delicious.

Genuine hospitality was felt here and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you. read more

I love this place! They have this feast you can buy for $35. We got this and the crepes and some green tea and latte and everything was perfect. I love this as a healthy alternative to brunch. Brunch at other places can be so unhealthy with complex carbs and grease, and this place felt like I was giving my body very healthy, whole, clean food. I think if I ate this food every day I would live forever. Can't wait to go back!!! So happy I discovered this place! read more

Went here this past weekend to try a different coffee spot. It was pretty quiet because not a lot of people were here at this time, and I was so impressed by the service! There was only one person working , and they were taking the orders, making the food and preparing the coffee. We got our drinks pretty fast! We also discovered this outside lounge, which was super cute! I need to come back and try their food, it looked really good! read more

I'm not sure if it was a family owned cafe or just rude employees... but the lady with the tattooed eyeliner was very rude and unpleasant when it came to taking my order . On top of that ... I could hear her speaking to her colleague in the kitchen about me and my order . Which I thought wow ... no respect . But over all. It would be a nice hang out place , a place to play and read ... unfortunately the atmosphere felt unpleasant after this incident. Didn't feel comfortable eating nor enjoying my time . I hope the owner of this place improves his staff for a better out come , I'm sure this is why this place was empty when I got here . It was completely alone. Oh , also she bragged about the ingredients being organic to justify why a regular egg croissant was $14 ... it has No FLAVOR. At this point I was upset at myself for not going to IN N OUT Instead and getting fries , a whole burger and a drink please great customer service... read more

Today was my first time trying The Red Cafe in Glendora. I ordered an iced Honey-bee latte and it was so delicious--no notes.
