Sanctuary Coffee has been on my radar for a while, so after my lab appointment in the area, I…read morestopped by for a late breakfast. The shop is big and was full of people hanging out or working when I arrived, so no seats were available. It was also like a library, so quiet, no background music playing. It would've been a better vibe if there was some kind of music, it felt kind of weird to be in a coffee shop with no noise. I decided on the hot Caramel Turtle Latte because it sounded different and I've never tried a latte flavor like that before. Their pastries are brought in from a local bakery and looked yummy so I had to have a chocolate croissant too. While I waited I looked around and saw that they have coffees beans for sale, where they donate $1 per bag to the local charity that is listed on the coffee bag: Ability First, Inland Valley Hope, and The Joseph Project. I love that they support the local community! My latte was so good, and while my croissant was pretty good, I didn't like that it was warmed up in the microwave. It made what looked like a crispy croissant soft, flat, and soggy. I wish they could've baked it in a toaster oven or something so that it comes out flaky.

I've been coming to this cafe for about two years now, and while I really enjoy their drinks, the…read moreoverall experience can be a hit or miss. Their matcha is smooth and pleasantly nutty. It isn't the best I've ever had, but I'd say it's the best I've tried in Claremont. However, the wait times can be pretty ridiculous... I just stopped by at 9:30am today, and it took me about 30 minutes to get my drink and find a place to sit. Also, there is very limited seating. My biggest issue, though, is the hospitality. Unfortunately, I've had multiple experiences where the baristas come across as dismissive and noticeably less friendly towards me. I've also noticed what feels like a pattern of differential treatment toward Asian customers. (As an Asian customer myself.) I've seen baristas casually chatting with white customers in front of and behind me, only for their demeanor to change when interacting with me. I can't speak to their intentions, but having experienced this more than once over the past two years, it's something I've found difficult to ignore. Their drinks are good enough to keep me coming back, but the long waits and inconsistent hospitality take away from the experience.

I've been coming to Iron & Kin for a while and have to give a special shoutout to Hailey! She is…read morealways so kind, welcoming, and attentive every time my village comes in. You can tell she genuinely cares about the customers and takes a lot of pride in her work, especially my Iced honey latte!

Don't judge a matcha by its yelp reviews!!!…read more Looking for a cafe in La Verne as i was in the area for the first time and saw this on tiktok. But when looked it up, all the photos made the matcha look more milky or specialty flavor forward, when what i like is just a standard strong latte. Took a chance and ended up getting an amazing drink, super creamy and delicious! Basically to the level of a lot of the trending cafes in other parts of socal, wish i heard more about nambah online. Coffee was great too Service and ambiance is great!!! and also amazing to see a thriving Indonesian owned business. Will be back if I'm ever in the area

Tried Eden and Clay in Upland and got the Brûlée and Beloved Latte, along with the Holy Horchata…read moreLatte. The Brûlée and Beloved was okay, but I found the flavor a little underwhelming and it wasn't sweet at all for my taste. My neighbor got the Holy Horchata Latte and really enjoyed the sweetness level of hers. The vibe inside the café was nice and there were two people working when i visited. Service was okay overall, but I do think the customer service could be a little more welcoming, the moment I came in and the vibe was kinda ehh I wanted to leave. When i walked in, i was not greeted or acknowledged, even though one of the employees was keeping an eye on the door. For a small business, I think something as simple as a "hi" or "welcome in" can really make a difference in the overall experience. Other than that, everything was fine. I'd be open to trying some of their other drinks in the future.

Local coffee shop in San Dimas offering lattes, matcha, seasonal drinks and some breakfast options…read more I ordered the Sam's Latte, which was pretty delicious, although a little on the sweet side. I also grabbed a premade breakfast burrito with a spicy green sauce on the side, which was a nice addition. The decor is simple and neutral, but honestly a little plain. It's not really the type of coffee shop where I'd want to sit and hang out for a long time. One thing that stood out to me was the service. I really enjoy interacting with local baristas and getting that friendly neighborhood coffee shop feel, but the staff didn't seem particularly welcoming or interested in engaging. I've honestly had friendlier service at Starbucks. Overall, I'd give it a solid 3 stars. Nothing was necessarily wrong with my experience, but nothing really stood out as great either. Worth trying if you're in the area, but I'm not sure it would become a regular stop for me.

If you're hosting a wedding or special event, you have to hire Almond Haus!…read more When my husband and I were planning our wedding in Claremont, we wanted to choose local vendors. Almond Haus was a no-brainer. Not only did they provide full-service catering, but their boba milk teas were legitimately some of the best we've ever had. Judy and team were so meticulous about nailing all the small details so the boba matched our wedding aesthetic. Guests couldn't stop raving about how good the boba was! Thank you to the Almond Haus team for making our day so special P.S. Order more cups than you think you'll need, because guests will be coming back for seconds!

I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (additional 79 cents). It tastes like sugary…read morecereal milk. And the boba had an unusual, puffy marshmallow texture. It's not awful, but it tastes frugal. I arrived at Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) on Sunday (around 12:20PM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. My immediate impression of the location's interior is "abandoned warehouse." There's cardboard boxes lying about; the lights are dim & gloomy; and the furniture & walls looked old and poorly maintained. There were no customers, other than myself. Staff zipped out from the back when I'd entered. There's no self-service kiosks, so customers order at the counter. Staff is friendly and welcoming. After receiving my drink, Staff vanished into the back for the entire time. The drink took one minute and six seconds. Fast!! As mentioned, the Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (additional 79 cents) is not awful. It's big, cheap, and thirst-quenching. Although the boba lacked any perkiness, I did appreciate its very small sweetness. Concerning the ambiance, it felt sad. Chairs had mysterious black stains, dust & webs gripped the windows' corners, yellow & aged plants lazed about, and lights stayed dimly lit like a haunted house. However, there's utility. Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) has six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details on the plastic countertop. And there's a restroom for customers. In addition, the floors and tables are fairly clean. Overall, Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) feels like a forgotten relic of time. At the very minimum, it's an adequate establishment. If you're searching for affordability and a place to study/work, there's potential. 3.3 out of 5

Love! Love! Love!…read more I'm a Highland Park native so when I saw Antigua opening a new location in La Varne ( now 15 mins away from me) I was so excited. It was a taste from home I missed. I am pleased to say the consistency of taste, customer service, and friendliness is the same at both locations. My go to is the breakfast chapin - black beans, scrambled eggs w/ onions + tomatoes, served with queso fresco & a side of bread. The black beans are always cooked to perfection with lots of flavor, the eggs are cooked perfectly & the bread is a nice warm touch. There is plenty of indoor seating & a nice outdoor space as well. The restaurant can get busy at times, but it is definitely worth the wait.

It wasn't too bitter or too acidic, and the drink wasn't overly sweet, which really let the coffee shine. The staff is very kind and easy to talk to, but I should mention it is a bit hard to find. There isn't a sign outside, so just look for the building right next to Bardot. It is definitely worth the search if you prefer a focused and high-quality coffee experience!
