    Excellent Americano and a very nice spacious place. Love the ambience of this coffee shop, and love that they have a Slayer espresso machine, too! You can tell it's different Americano because of the more modern, foward-tasting notes that's more typical of Slayer. Slightly more woodsy, and layered than your heavier, rounded espresso drinks from a La Marzocco. The ham and cheese croissant is light, crispy, and very delicious. It's a great case of less is more when you don't need a heavy sandwich but expect delicious clean flavor. I ended up buying their Espresso Blend, and I can't wait to try it on my Profitec Go espresso machine at home.

    Yihui Coffee is a study-friendly cafe, which meant it was hard to find a table upon arrival last Sunday afternoon. We had to stand around for 10-15 minutes before we got the next available table. My cousin and I ordered each ordered a pour over. I got a washed Ethiopian from BlendIn Coffee based in Houston, TX with yuzu tea and peach tasting notes. I enjoyed the citrus brightness of my pour over. The baristas at Yihui are pretty meticulous, and we received a coffee intro card with the coffee information, water temperature, and extraction time. The extra details were a nice touch. My cousin's Mexican pour over was on the nutty side. It was well-brewed, but not my favorite. Along with our coffees, we were given complimentary bites of pineapple cakes to enjoy. However, we both didn't like the after taste of the pastry, and left most of it. All in all, the baristas care about craft and their pour overs at Yihui. I would definitely recommend if you're into this type of coffee.

    Coffee here is amazing. I ordered a decaf americano and was honestly impressed -- it's so hard to find a good decaf at cafes, but this one tasted just like a regular americano. Full flavor, smooth, and not watered down at all. The matcha was decent, but a bit too milky for my taste. If you prefer a richer matcha-to-milk ratio with a stronger tea flavor, this might not be your spot for matcha. Overall though, I'd definitely come back for the coffee -- especially that decaf!

    Sleek, spacious coffee shop in Monterey Park with a minimalist decor. It has kind of a modern hangout / collaboration spot vibe going for it. They have and serve the classic caffeinated beverages on their menu, but also have some fun, more unique beverages as well. I wanted a pick me up so I found this place when I was in the area watching a movie at a theater nearby. I ended up ordering a Lychee tonic coffee because it I was intrigued.... it was good! Definitely unique. When I visit in the future, I would love to see how they do the classics, but the Lychee tonic was definitely a fun try. The people here are friendly and work pretty efficiently - they kind of have to because this place seems to be very popular. I ended up parking on the street out front, but noticed they have a parking lot behind the building as well as an entrance on that side as well.

    The coffee here is exceptional especially the Cloudy! However, the Mist was disappointing. The Matcha was very weak and didn't taste ceremonial. The coconut water was refreshing but didn't taste like anything special so for $8, I felt this drink was overpriced and underwhelming. I would definitely skip the matcha drinks here but would recommend the coffee drinks! They also have very delicious pastries! I've gotten their Tomato & Egg and it's very crispy and fresh!

    I was nearby for some breakfast and I actually discovered this coffee shop. I was intrigued with the menu it had some amazing choices and they are known for espresso by other people's recommendation. I did get a lychee espresso tonic which was really good and refreshing and it is really bubbly too. I also got a black sesame espresso drink and that was really nutty and earthy also it was very bold with a shot of espresso. The inside has a lot of seating and it is a minimal coffee shop. For the parking you do have to do street parking in the neighborhood. The service was friendly and they were able to help with questions and making my drinks less sweet. I recommend this coffee shop if you are in the area looking for some good espresso drinks. Thanks for reading, hope this help, and have a yelp-tastic day.

    Personally, a very aesthetic pleasing coffee place that is simple and minimalistic in design without loud music or kids hanging around. I like the black, grey, and white monotone design. Its a millennial vibe coffee spot focusing on the quality of coffee. There is ample space and seating. Their staff was helpful in selecting a drink and I like how the coffee flavor notes are in the description. I got the Cloudy and it tasted great. The cream on top was not too sweet but a perfect blend with the espresso shot. Price was reasonable like other coffee places. Ham & Cheese croissant was a perfect treat with my pick me up coffee. My only gripe is the food items for the customers are stored in a plastic container on the counter next to the toasted. I think it should be kept out of site since they already have samples of them in a display case. There are numerous coffee/boba places around the area and I hope this place is successful because they are unique. Will come again!

    Ambiance: the Yihui Coffee has replaced the previous tea shop Feng Cha. It's cozy and comfortable inside, although it could be quiet for a while and then get loud from time to time. Service: very friendly and patient with questions, and the barista provided helpful suggestion Drink: classic coffee menu with their own specialities Cloudy - **** signature coffee, red date, pear, and cream, creamy and refreshing, recommend One & One - ***** a split serve highlighting rose florals and candy-toned sweetness, expressed through espresso and dirty blend composition, 85% gesha Finca El Conacaste / lumen coffee, and 15% ombligon - El Diviso / blendin coffee. It's a dine-in exclusive, very unique aroma and taste, highly recommend Price: premium quality and reasonable prices, expect $10+ per person. It's one of the best coffee shops in town, and definitely worth visiting

    A little while ago, I tried Yihui coffee! Upon walking inside, I noticed the cafe had a very monochrome look to it, but it was still cozy. I could see myself doing work here or homework too. I ordered the cloudy, which was a coffee that had flavors of pear, red date, and a cream top. It was really good!! Honestly I don't think I tasted the flavor notes, but I still thought the coffee was great. Service was good, employees were nice and they even helped me put the plastic cap on my drink when they saw me struggling lol. There is street parking, and they have a restroom down the hall if needed.

    Yihui Coffee is a sleek and minimalistic coffee shop with some nice Chinese-inspired drinks. To get here, they have a smaller parking lot in the back or street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a spacious setup with a good amount of seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different classic and signature drinks to choose from. I opted for the Lychee Tonic and enjoyed its unique flavor profile to start off my morning. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming and the vibes are chill here.

    I was originally looking for a boba shop around this area on Yelp, but noticed a coffee shop that was very close to where I was. The store is clean.It was during the finals week so all the tables were occupied. cloudy was tasty

    Easy and simple quick gourmet coffee location. Service is quick and easy and ambiance is perfect for studying and hangout. Definitely would come back again!

    Cold brew $5.50 and cloudy $7

    New coffee shop in town. They have specialty coffees that are Asian-inspired, like the cloudy with dates. The menu is easy to navigate. I didn't like the matcha latte here, so I would stick with their coffee. I enjoyed the tomato egg pastry so much I got it a second time. It's good heated up! Parking was easy to find on the street. They have a small parking lot in the back. Bathroom available. WiFi available Apple Pay/credit card accepted. Indoor seating only.

Overall, it seems like the staff could use some customer service training.

That said, once we finally reached the window, the experience turned around. We ordered an iced banana horchata latte and a regular iced horchata latte, and both drinks were worth the wait. The horchata flavor was smooth and well-balanced, not overly sweet, with a nice cinnamon note that complemented the coffee instead of overpowering it. The banana version added a subtle, natural sweetness that made it feel a little more unique without being artificial or heavy. Even with the long line, the quality of the drinks stood out. If you're planning to stop by on a weekend, it's probably best to expect a wait, but at least you can count on getting a solid, flavorful coffee once you make it through.
