    I could NOT believe these prices. The staff were kind & service was fast! We got our food & drinks within 6 minutes. I also got a free muffin for purchasing over $10!! I definitely recommend the Chicken Pesto Panini & Tuna Melt, but skipping on the Breakfast Burrito.

    I think I've found my favorite local cafe! Yi's Cafe has amazing coffee and foods for an incredible price. I can't believe they are selling latte's for under $4, when most other places are charging almost double. I ordered the hainan chicken burrito and it was so flavorful and a very decent portion. It includes rice, scallions, cucumber, and Hainan chicken. The staff are super friendly as well, as they offered a free muffin when I came in. Plenty of parking in front of the store. I'm definitely going to become a regular here!

    This cute little place has been on my bookmark for a little while now so I was so happy to have tried it today. It's a little shop, but it's ran super efficiently with friendly service. Reading some other Yelp review and seeing some of their TikTok's, I knew I wanted to try their Hainan Chicken Rice, Chicken Pesto Panini, and their Tiramisu Latte. I did order all of those things, and added their chicken tacos and their Iced Dalgona Whipped Coffee. We came closer to their closing time and they gave us some blueberry muffins to try, which was better than some bakery muffins I've had. I have to say... Everything was pretty good, but my favorite would be the Chicken Pesto Panini and Tiramisu Latte. Other cafés, they would probably charge double the price and not taste as good but, Yi's Cafe definitely does it right! The Hainan Chicken Rice was decent for the price but the chicken was a little dry, the rice needed a bit more chicken stock, and I wish the sauce had more ginger in it. Other than that... It was pretty good. With all the food and drinks I got, plus tax and tip included... It only cost around $38. Which is such a steal for the quality of food and drinks that you get. There is so many good things I wanted to try on their menu, especially their breakfast sandwiches. I have to come back and try their Spanish coffee and get another Chicken Pesto Panini and tiramisu latte. So good! Make sure to put them on your bookmark and try to go support this small cafe. Your wallet and stomach will thank you!

    The $1 chicken taco was so delicious that I ended up getting another one! The $3.75 Spanish latte with cinnamon and condensed milk and at no extra charge for oat milk - my mind was blown by these low and affordable prices from not just pre-Covid- more like from the 90's! Lol This place is too good to be true ! I don't want to yelp about it because then everyone will come and prices will go up and there will be a long line. Small place, causal and with free street parking . There is seating inside although a bit limited.

The free blueberry muffin made me jump for jOy! It's kinda hard to find it's located across from McDonalds. Kudos to the Kitchen Chef!!!

    I had a good experience at Yi's Cafe (Arcadia). I ordered the Tiramisu Latte ($4). I felt awake after sipping this silky, chill brew. Its aftertaste is reminiscent of dark chocolate. Honestly, the low price is baffling. CRAZY!! I arrived at Yi's Cafe (Arcadia) on Tuesday (around 12:55PM). Parking will require street parking. Fortunately, there's a nearby neighborhood with spots to park. Yi's Cafe (Arcadia) has awful visibility. It's extremely tiny, and it's hard to find even when searching. Staff is busy and efficient. Sudden waves of customers regularly appear, order, and vanish. There's almost a rabid scuffle as everyone took in the low affordable prices for such high quality coffee. Similar coffee could easily sell for $7+, yet all of the drinks are $4 or less!? CRAZY! My drink took about three minutes. Good time! As mentioned, I enjoyed the Tiramisu Latte ($4). This coffee carried a layered creaminess while capturing the essence of Tiramisu and a fresh roast. I appreciated the drink's strength and thoughtfulness. TASTY! Regarding ambiance, Yi's Cafe (Arcadia) is cramped & tiny. It felt like a big closet. It felt warm inside. There's two tiny interior counters, and there's two small patio tables. This is an order-and-leave spot. Still, there's some utility. There's customer internet; information is available by asking Staff. There's also one electrical outlet. There's no restroom, but there's two hand sanitizer bottles. The music also played very light pop music. Overall, I had a good experience at Yi's Cafe (Arcadia). The coffee is high-quality, and the prices are extremely low. I'd take advantage before these amazing prices increase. If you live nearby, you're ridiculously fortunate. I envy you. 4.8 out of 5.

    Tried their viral "Breakfast Burrito." Had to wait 45 minutes for order, ordered croissant and Breakfast Sandwich. The sandwich was good, only confusing part was the Burger Bun, subbed the Thousand Island dressing for Mayo. The croissant was hard and not worth it. The burrito has no breakfast items, it comes with Chicken, white rice and cheese? The flavor is good but confused my expectations. Did not get a chance to try the drinks due to the 40 minute wait but will come back to do a second review as this place is so close. The previous business "Poppies" was def more on brand and fresh.

    Highly recommend Yi's Cafe on Foothill for quality and a price you can't find anywhere. (Thank you Melissa) Was worried when Poppy on Foothill in Arcadia sold but this place is even better. It has great coffees:all sorts of espresso drinks, drips and Vietnamese coffee But what's super surprising is the prices. I got a huge egg and ham croissant and Vietnamese coffee for $7. Not $17 not $27...$7.

    So good, and he does get busy but it because the coffee and prices are so good. He's very efficient so the wat isn't long and the muffins are

    Lovers latte (vanilla, rose, strawberry)

    #179 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I don't know how their prices are so incredibly low but I'm here for it! A hot honey cinnamon latte with oatmilk was only $3.75! Like what?!! How is that even possible when the same drink runs between $7.50 to $9 everywhere else in SGV? And the latte was pretty good too. I went in thinking there was no way something a fraction of the typical price could taste as good, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went back and tried their seasonal Lovers Latte, made with vanilla, strawberry, and a hint of rose. Even with the milk substitution it was still only $4 - absolute insanity! This little gem of a coffee stand deserves so much love, and I hope they stay in business for years to come. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

    Small storefront offering lots of hot and cold coffee options. Some simple bites like muffins, paninis. First time coming here and there was only 1 person working, though there was no wait for me. I got a cappuccino and it was great. Very reasonable prices! Has I think two tables outside if you want to sit. Will come back!

    Yi's Cafe is a small cafe that's great for drinks and quick bites. The prices are fair and it's a good value. The location is also close to some schools so it's perfect for students too. There is really limited seating inside so it is best to take it to go. FOOD - I've tried the chicken rice and the tuna melt. I thought they were good, quick bites. SERVICE - Good and friendly PARKING - limited street parking (free).

This is a great little spot to hang out with friends or family, play games, go on a date, or just relax by yourself with a drink. I came with my baby sister and we both really liked the atmosphere. The front of the store has cute seating, and there's also a smaller, almost private, area toward the back near the bathrooms with a little couch and board games, which gives the place even more personality. I'd say the back area with the small couch is more of a first-come, first-served spot. The couch could comfortably fit a group of 4-5 people you came with, or maybe just one couple. Otherwise, it might feel a little awkward sharing such a small space with people you don't know unless you're not socially awkward. They have a good variety of drinks on the menu, though they don't sell any food. My sister didn't like the drink she initially ordered because she had requested foam and salt, but the staff was kind enough to remake it to her liking, which we really appreciated. Good customer service makes such a difference, and they handled it very kindly. My drink came out great... good size, good flavor, and fairly priced. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. Cute shop, good drinks, great service, and a nice cozy vibe without feeling cramped.

    YALLL THIS HAS THE BEST COFFEE IVE EVER TASTED!!…read more The vibes are so calming and the pastries are so fresh and delicious, I ordered the Valley Girl Latte hot and the foam was heavenly and the milk so sweet, and the egg and cheddar muffin was 10/10 Can't wait to keep trying their seasonal items too, also Karen was super sweet and super helpful when recommending me new items and she makes the drinks really well, adjusting my drink if asked and really skilled in speed when there was a long line The ambiance is also super clean and really nice people all around i've never felt so welcomed and comfortable, highly recommend

    I'd like to start off by saying that before today, I've raved to everyone about our favorite local…read morecoffee shop, and would've given this place 5 stars, no questions asked. Sadly, one employee can quickly change that, and I'm writing this in hopes that management helps them better understand how to properly deal with each individual situation. My husband and I go in for drinks and food, anywhere from 3-5 times a week, and we gladly leave tips in the jars, because up until today, we had nothing but great experiences. Today at about noon, I went in and ordered at the register. I ordered my husband's large drink, and order my REGULAR drink, paid for an ADDED shot, and asked if it could be placed in a large cup instead of regular cup, with extra ice. No issues ordering and paying. Even left a tip in their jars. I move over to wait for my drink and the girl making the drinks (short curly hair) finds an issue with me asking for a large cup and tells me that is an upcharge because it's more plastic and it's an inventory issue, and I'd have to pay for a large drink. Really? At first I think that perhaps she's under the impression that I want more of the drink or extra ice on the side perhaps? so I proceed to explain to her that I want the same amount that comes with my regular drink, but just want extra ice and space for my added shot that was paid for, hence the larger cup. She refused to budge and tells me it doesn't matter, that I have to pay for a large, even though I had already paid and the girl taking my order has no issue with this. Her attitude towards the situation was so bizarre and I wonder if her inability to process what I was explaining is what caused her to be so "firm" on this, but I left feeling so disappointed and frankly, not sure if I want to return. Possibly losing a customer over what you think is a 50cent "thievery" seems like bad business. UPDATE: within minutes of the review posting, Isaiah, the CEO personally called me to apologize for the poor experience and promised to look into this to make sure it doesn't happen again. He was also confused, since he assured me that is in no way company policy, and offered to void today's transaction. Thank you for making us feel heard.

Took some time to relax and wind down inside Torotea. It was nice and cool inside on these hot summer days. That Pinewood Pure Tea was top tier!
