It's such a cozy little coffee shop tucked within downtown La Verne, and definitely worth stopping by!! And if I'm not getting the Snickerdoodle, my other go-to is the Heartthrob Iced Latte, which is another super solid choice If you want to avoid lines and the crowds that tend to fill up the shop, I'd recommend coming in earlier in the day. Sometimes the line gets pretty long and the wait can be a bit much. It can also get tricky finding a seat inside when it's busy, though you might have better luck outside if you don't mind sitting outdoors lol Overall, I really appreciate how nice the staff usually is :)

Most of the time, everything is great, but lately, I've noticed it can be a bit of a hit or miss--I either have a wonderful experience or a really tough one. Why I keep coming back: Their food is genuinely delicious. They have really good sandwiches and so many great options if you're hungry. Also, a little insider tip: if you're feeling under the weather and want something better than a Starbucks Medicine Ball, order the Remedy Tea. It is so soothing and I highly recommend it! My recent experience: On my last visit, things felt a bit off. The staff seemed really rushed--they actually started making our drinks while we were still in the middle of ordering. Because of the rush, they missed my milk modification and the drink ended up being way too sweet, to the point where I couldn't really drink it. What saddened me most was that the cashier was pretty rude and dismissive toward us. We actually felt so uncomfortable that we didn't even want to ask for a remake, so we just headed out. I truly love the menu here and the vibe when it's "on," but I really hope the service gets back to that friendly, welcoming energy I fell in love with.

Definitely a great place to study, meet with a group, and just hang out. The baristas were very nice providing us with honest thoughts about the different drinks we had questions on.

I will be back to try more flavors but please stop by this coffee shop with a great mission & vision for the community!

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.

And the service is soo friendly. It's also super spacious and is so cute inside with natural lighting. But I'll be honest the boba drink was not so great. It was even to the point where I had to ask if they would be willing to make another drink (in which I would pay the difference). The barista was super friendly and made another drink for me. Warning: The organic coconut mango drink was just straight coconut milk and some mango puree. It was a tough one to drink. Luckily the barista blended that with some ice and more mango and that made the drink 10x better!

There's no hesitation from any of the ingredients, as they all intertwine and create a delicious experience. To be fair, I've only tried the Courageous Latte, but I'd go back every day for it if this place were closer to me! The space itself is well thought out and lively, especially on weekends. The Saturdays I've stopped by, there has been a DJ playing upbeat music. Now be warned, there is a long wait. From other reviews, it seems like there isn't a day where they don't have a line, so be prepared to wait. But rest assured, the wait is worth it.

The rice krispy treat was mediocre and prepackaged. Also, the kiosk in the front of the store had the same items as the display for a significantly higher price.

Now the inside and tables are definitely outdated but I like how each table has an outlet and it's wide enough so you can just spread out and get some work done. The noise level isn't too loud either especially with some headphones on. Since it was a Sunday evening, I felt like it was pretty slow in the beginning but once evening hit a lot of people started coming in and a lot of people came in to sit and get work done. Most of the tables had people sitting on them with laptops out. What I liked about today is when it was slow, the cashier actually went out and wiped the tables and I felt like she did that periodically even when someone was grabbing an order to go. My friends also ordered popcorn chicken and fries and it just seems like a great snack to have while studying Wish there were more cafes like this! I ordered a peach black tea bc the cashier said black tea had the most caffeine. I requested half sweet and Crystal boba it was perfect! The galaxy drinks were really pretty and good too. I'll probably be back again!

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

Restroom: They're available to use. Location/Parking: Located in a decent size plaza on the SE corner of Gladstone and Lone Hill. There's a decent amount of parking for all. What's great about this location is that Costco is in the same plaza. Ambiance/Decor: Nice ambiance with modern furnishings. This location is bigger than the Whittier, but doesn't have a drive thru. Service: Service was good. Staffers were friendly and our drinks didn't take long to get made. Drink Of Choice: I got the americano. Liked the taste of the bean water. Mugs For Thought: I wouldn't mind going back when I'm in the area.

Small area for sitting. They also sell merch there.
