TRO is debatably my favorite latte (usually hot but also their iced!) around. Their coffee beans have a unique flavor that makes the drinks extra enjoyable. The flavor is full, smooth, and that extra, subtle flavor that really draws me in! The pastries are delicious. Also a plus. The coffee shop is co-op, alongside a workspace hub. So the space is very open, with various seating available and it's fairly quiet, because they also do not play music. This makes for a wonderful spot to converse. The baristas are all wonderful. Quiet, but welcoming, and focus on every single drink they craft, just one at a time. Which is the best news for the flavor, presentation and energy for your drink. But don't stop here thinking it's a drive thru, it's where you stop, wait patiently for your delicious drink and stay and converse with some of your favorite people. It's a quality time type environment, which I rather enjoy. That's how coffee should be had, with time, mindful, and great company and conversation. TRO is one of my top favorite hidden gem coffee spots in the south land ^_^
TRO Coffee is great because it is inside a public office space. This space is open to the public to do work at. TRO itself is small and has a few coffee and food options. The barista working there was great! She was super sweet and very knowledgeable about the drink offerings. I opted for a lavender and vanilla latte with macadamia nut milk and my tried a honey and cayenne latte. Both were good! I would recommend coming here if you are looking for a place to work.
TRO coffee replaced the reverse orangutan at Union cowork in Glendora. Their menu is sweet and simple with some seasonal options. Like any coffee shop they have regular and decaf espresso available for their lattes. I absolutely love how they have a separate menu of sweetener/flavoring and dairy options. I got the pumpkin spiced latte which honestly did not taste very pumpkiny or spiced? I was a little confused because it tasted like your average vanilla latte. The worker there though was super super nice and patient. They have pastries available depending on the day and time. They also sell containers of oat milk you can buy and take home. Guest wifi is also available
Went in at 9am, got a hot latte, wanted something to eat but they said they didn't have any food yet. ??? Latte was okay. I went in on Wednesday morning, I was the only one there, stayed for an hour. Nothing special to me. Probably won't come back.
I went there for the first time, their drinks were good, we just ordered the basic latte (no syrups) and ice americano) it's really nice of them to have free milk substitute for dietary restrictions but because of that, a regular whole milk latte is charged $7. I don't think that's fair for people who orders whole milk just so they have a better marketing branding.
I met up with a coworker here for work since we try to connect in person once or twice a month while working remotely. We chose this coffee shop as a halfway point. The coffee was delicious--I ordered the brown sugar spice latte cold, but it was served hot. Fortunately, it still tasted great! However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited one hour of free Wi-Fi. After that, internet access costs $30 per person for the day, which was a letdown, especially considering the positive reviews. This could have been a great spot for regular meet-ups, but the Wi-Fi policy makes it less ideal for remote work.
Dog friendly coffee shop. Stopped by for our morning fix before heading to the nearby dog park. It's a little on the quiet side in here since there's a workspace next door. The chocolate chip cookie was 10/10.
Minimalist coffee shop next to a work space. Got an iced oat milk latte and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was SOO good - hard and chewy with the perfect amount of chocolate chips. Coffee was solid too. Not too many places to sit though as a coffee shop guest. Would come back if I'm in the area
I stopped by in the late afternoon a couple of days ago. The parking here is a bit limited. They were also out of most of their milk alternatives but had a wide selection of syrups! I opted for an iced vanilla latte with macadamia nut milk. The barista recommended the drink iced for this type of milk. The ice cubes were on the large side, which was cool and different. The latte was good. It gave me the energy to power through the last hours of work and energy to work on a project. It may have also kept me up longer than expected, but that's what happens to me when I have coffee or tea late in the day. LOL. The inside of the shop is big. There are offices in the back and in the upper floor or section. There are different seating options available as well. I'm looking forward to my next cup of coffee!
The coffee was okay (drip). The space doesn't fit. Most of the chairs are not comfortable. Feels like an office space, which the building really is. Service was friendly.
Used to be The Reverse Orangutan coffee shop. First time visiting since they changed owners and the business name. TRO Coffee has delicious, flavorful iced matcha lattes. Customer service from the barista was amiable and chill. The ambience is the same as the previous coffee shop, trendy/modern vibe. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu and specialty drinks, including their pastries.
I've been coming to this coffee shop for about 4 years, and I absolutely love their drinks. One of the best things is that they make most of their syrups in-house, and they're not overly sweet--just perfect. I recently tried the Eggnog Latte, and it did not disappoint. Also, the TRO coffee beans are a must-have if you're a true coffee connoisseur. Highly recommend!
Nice people but I found a roach on counter. So no coffee for me. I don't like roach on my coffee sry
TRO Coffee sells friendly customer service and caffeinated beverages. I was recommended the Brown Sugar Spice Latte ($7). It's served in a small paper cup. The drink tasted like powdery coco. The subtle caffeine lingered throughout the day. I waited two minutes and 30 seconds. TRO Coffee's barista is the main attraction. I observed how he'd endlessly chat with customers lounging beside the counter. He'd banter and empathize with all the regular patrons. I arrived on a weekend (around 1:20PM). Shockingly, this hidden location had a consistent stream of customers. TRO Coffee's ambiance is an acquired taste. If someone had decorated a mall's parking garage, it would resemble TRO Coffee's interior. Classical/Jazz Elevator Music played in the corner. Customers were casually reading books or lounging with a laptop in this mismatching dusty concrete interior. I also consistently observed staff chatting about limited supplies (ex: no more mocha; lacking black napkins; missing ingredients). Overall, TRO Coffee offers extremely friendly service. Drinks are decent too. It's definitely an experience. read more
This place is inviting... but it's important to note that the menu is limited to small batch coffee beans, coffee drinks, tea, and pastries. Once items run out - that's it. That being said, the vibe is very chill and in many respects smacks of co-op workspace - which is how the rest of the building appears to be used. That said, we each got a pastry, myself a cappuccino (very good!), and my daughter a hot cocoa (also good!). I would have hoped for my jalapeño biscuit to be warmed - not sure if that was available, and I didn't ask. We were well tended, and since we had time to kill we took advantage of the very fun card games. We had a great time! read more
Nice space to work our study with a cute ambiance. Barista was kind and answered my questions. Husband's cold brew was a bit more acidic than he'd like. Wished my matcha latte was stronger, and my coffee cake was quite dry, Overall nothing to rave about for me but give it a try since everyone has different preferences! read more

If I want the most unique coffee shop, then this is the place worth visiting. At a very small spot, this coffee shop has the most creative drink, like baklava latte. It's price is reasonable, compared to Starbucks. Baristas are excellent with details. In addition, the place is a nice spot to chill or hangout for nice cup of tea or coffee. If you want something new, then stop for local coffee shop. There are also some merchandise to get if you want to support their business. read more

#2 in my SOCAL COFFEE SHOP SERIES I have been super excited to try this place! I've heard so many great things about them and think it is amazing that they are their own coffee roaster. If you enjoy their espresso so much, you can purchase their very own beans for yourself! Their graphic designs for their merch and bean bags are so cool. I loved the aesthetic and vibes for this place, very industrial. Their shop is connected to/apart of the Union Cowork so there are a lot of people that walk in and out. Since it is connected to this space, they offer only one free hour of complimentary wifi. A bust if you're trying to get studying or work done for more than an hour. Now let's get into the coffee. I got a classic vanilla latte w/ oat milk ($6). And let me tell you, their vanilla syrup is soo good! All of their syrups are homemade, plus their dairy free alternatives don't cost extra. As for the espresso in the latte, I personally wish it was deeper and stronger. It tasted like I was only drinking vanilla oat milk. Their menu is very small, but contains all the classic coffee shop drinks (cold brew, espresso, matcha, latte, etc.). They also have a small selection of pastries to choose from, but they are bomb! Note -- parking can be a bit tricky here. There is a small lot in the back or a few spaces of street parking. Overall, good vibes (but not amazing), great drinks (but also not amazing), eh wifi and parking situation, great customer service. read more
Seemingly enticing from the outside, the coffee menu and interior space left much to be desired. This place has a VERY limited menu. No specialty lattes. No pour overs. I didn't even see drip on offer. We ordered an iced matcha that was splashed with way too much oat milk, and a 'spro tonic, an espresso tonic that tasted very sour. My sister took a sip of the latter and the first word she blurted out was "rancid." She wasn't wrong. The interior space has the potential to be boho chic and enough room for more attractive seating, but instead it felt drab and barren. They could use a pop of color and plants! We love supporting mom and pop shops wherever we go, but unfortunately nothing here from today's experience has us excited to come back for more. read more

The staff member are super awesome!!!!! The coffee was ok. Limited Pastry selection and limited seating and only one hour of available WiFi....however they do have outdoor seating which has a beautiful view of the mountains and the teas are super delicious. Hopefully the next time I come I can find a seat inside. Most definitely will come back read more
Such a welcoming and friendly coffee shop. It seems like this place is frequented by locals because the employees were greeting everyone very warmly. I noticed they had an exotic coffee syrup flavor on this menu, baklava so I opted for the iced baklava oat milk. I was thoroughly impressed with the flavor profile of my latte. Make sure to ask for the large to be shaken so you get those air bubbles that give it a nice foamy taste. With tall window panes and rainfall outside, the vibes here are 10/10 cozy to the maximum! read more

Let me tell you right away - the coffee is delicious! Quiet place, you can come from your laptop to work. Next door there is a full-fledged co-working center. In general, it's a good place, come! read more
I came here with my girl because the review was so good! As a person with South East Asia background, I was hoping they have more of exotic coffee beans, but they only offer Guatemalan and Ethiopian. I think they mislead me with their name by using 'Orangutan' because that exotic animal is from Indonesia, and that country carries a lot of good coffee beans. I was hoping they carry Sumatran beans or other stuff, but they only carry regular ones... The taste of both drinks (house brew and latte) are so-so. They put too much milk on my latte, so I only taste hot milk as my drink.. Such a disappointment, but I hope they will improve because their branding has more potential than the product. read more

Little shop located in a building shared with a workspace area. Customer service was good. The employee who assisted me was very nice and made great suggestions and it's awesome that the majority of their syrups are homemade. I tried the baklava syrup in my iced oat milk latte today. It was good but nothing to write home about. The seating is limited so I wouldn't be enticed to return with a friend to hangout or anything. More of a grab n go location. read more
COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. Some of the staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor & outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my drink from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is way in the back of the establishment, and it's a super small parking lot. If it is full, you'll have to park on the street. The parking spots in the back are also kind of small, so be careful. Food: I ordered a vanilla latte. My vanilla latte was nice and hot. Smelled super good. It was very tasty. Just the pick me up that I needed. Perfect drink for my drive down to the beach. The caffeine helped keep me awake during the drive. Staff: The staff here are very nice and friendly. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. read more

My first time here and the coffee was excellent. I ordered a vanilla latte. The guy behind the counter was very nice which makes a difference. I would definitely come back! read more
The Reverse Orangutan in Glendora is located inside a small office space for rent called Union Cowork building. I received a gift card for this place and decided to stop by with my husband and our little girl dog. We came in a little after 3 pm. We were greeted by a friendly employee behind the counter. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Iced Chai Latte, $5- To be honest, when I walked over to pick up my drink when it was ready, I was disappointed to see so much ice in the cup and so little chai tea. You would probably get more chai tea if you ordered this drink hot. The chai tea itself was too sweet and the seasonings just overpowered each other. It really wasn't a nice balance of flavors and would not recommend ordering this. Cappuccino, $4 + Vanilla Flavor, $1- My husband decided to order this and just like with my drink, he thought it was rather meh. He didn't think it tasted that grade and seemed a bit pricey for what it was. -------------------------- (Total= $10) I really had high hopes for this place since it was so highly rated on Yelp (Overall rating of 4.5 stars at the time of this review, in the addition to their location in Claremont also being highly rated). But was let down immensely. The prices are expensive for what they are, and you aren't getting much for what you are paying. I am sorry but this place is definitely not for me. Please note that there is a small parking lot in the back if you are unable to find parking on the street. There are some tables and chairs outside and some seating inside but that may be for the people utilizing the Union Cowork part of the building. read more

Typical little coffee shop. I got a chai latte with macadamia milk. Cleanliness is up to par, although one of the down sides is that if you're looking to study/work here you are probably going to have to pay to use the Wi-Fi after an hour. read more

After this coffee adventure, I tasted the reason why they named this coffeehouse TRO. I started off with their seasonal dark maple and brown sugar latte. It's a delicious blend of maple syrup, brown sugar, clove and cinnamon with a touch of vanilla. After my first sip my lips tingled with excitement! My drink was a perfect balance of coffee and sweet flavoring and it was served in a mug just I like it! Upon request may I add. So before leaving the spot I ordered their dark and stormy which also had a perfect blend of sweet flavor and espresso. The flavor was ginger beer and it paired very well with the tonic like espresso but it only comes iced which was cool with me. The vibe is very chill and it's a perfect place to work at without any distractions. The service was on point and I was given some interesting recommendations which I'm going to explore soon. That's if they don't put one of those Temporary Restraining Orders on me! Cause right about now I can't hardly wait until they open! And that's my take and now you know TRO,Peace... read more

Ordered an Iced Carmel latte with Oat milk and my Husband ordered an Iced bourbon Maple latte both were amazing. The atmosphere is nice and quiet has enough seating for people who wanted or needed to sit down and work for a bit. Also great perk of FREE WiFi yes only for an hour but still that is still nice. read more
