Parking is kinda hard to get into since it's right on Rosemead but after the car wash just turn right into the little street and into the parking area. Seating is really cute, I got the oolong milk tea, they didn't ask how sweet but it was just right, not too sweet. The brûlée coffee is amazing, too strong cause I can't handle the view coffee but omg such good flavor. We shared the sesame egg waffle which was ok... but it was only my 2nd egg waffle so I'm willing to give it another shot along with the baos and taiyaki. read more

This place just opened and I've came over 4 times in a short period of time. The drinks are genuinely so good. I'm very picky with my matcha and this place has hit the spot every time. The banana coffee is also really good. The ambience is nice, definitely a nice place to study or hang out. They have a few tables and a patio. The workers are also really nice and ask if I have any questions every single time I come which I appreciated. Definitely looking forward to trying more of their menu since they have so many drink options. read more

Everything was so good, it's a cute little coffee shop with good space inside and out. The cashier was nice and asked if we needed anything adjusted in our drinks. The boss, Leslie, was super nice too. She let us know if we needed anything adjusted to let them know and they'll fix it. The drinks were good and we'll definitely come back. We got the Matcha lava cream, strawberry matcha, viet phin. read more

Mixed reviews from what this place used to be. FYI. This place is a coffee and tea shop. That being said, the location is great. Incredible design inside. I had the matcha latte and it was solid. Great local shop and great selection for you coffee needs. read more

Strong and flavorful coffee. I enjoyed it and the default size is a large compared to other coffee shops!

First off, some pictures of the menu on Yelp are no longer available. They have a very small menu. The drinks were just okay and a bit syrupy. The service was decent but could be better. Don't think I'll be coming back. read more

The drinks are okay, service is average, but they put 80-90% of ice in my drink. Coffee is okay as well read more

My order rec- ube coffee (regular size bc large got me flying) Come here to fuel up on some *strong* vietnamese coffee! They have a wide and fun selection to choose from and I was suprised how strong it was as an avid viet coffee goer. I would say I like the depth of the coffee more than my local coffee shop (Da vien). The ube cream was thick and creamy and added subtle sweet and earthy taste to balance out the bitter coffee. It seemed like they brewed every cup to order but it still came out relatively fast in my opinion (maybe 5 minutes?). No party was ahead of me when I went at 8am but I can see the line getting backed up. Also, while beautifully decorated, this place is small and only has about 3-4 tables. I wouldn't suggest planning a study session here but more of a catch up session with friends or a quick grab! Shoutout to my friend Lam for showing me where the locals grab coffee at in El Monte. He also told me they supply and sell baos from Yummy Bakery from OC (must try their salted egg bao) but it wasn't there when I went this time. Hopefully I can catch it when I come back! read more

Legit Vietnamese coffee spot with reasonable prices, 10/10. The Ube Coffee and House Coffee were really good. Upgrade to large for a $1. Service was quick and friendly. Inside was clean and set up for photo ops. read more

location is a bit tricky, but if you know the ways around you can enter and leave the parking lot at the side street and make both left and right turns. Service is good, people are friendly and helpful. Ambiance can be better, they created a very elegant wall on the window side, but stacked a lot of boxes on another side.... kind of messy Food wise... drink is good, the jasmine green tea is not bad... egg waffle is soggy, it's too soft when compare to traditional Hong Kong style egg waffle... the "bao" they have are... worth a try but I won't buy again read more

I don't know many coffee shops in the El Monte area that serve Vietnamese Egg Coffee or cream topped coffee for that matter so when I heard about this spot, I made a mental note to stop by this spot if I was ever in the area. If the fact that they sell Vietnamese coffee is not an indicator already, but their coffee is very strong. If coffee isn't your thing, they have other milk teas and non-caffeinated drinks so there's really something for everyone here. They also sell egg waffles and taiyaki. Usually in other spots, I see one or the other but not both! I really love how they decorated their interior, especially the floral wall. There's a decent amount of seating inside, but they were all occupied when I went on a Sunday morning. || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Cross Streets are -Shared parking lot with plenty of spots, hassle free || D E S S E R T / D R I N K S || Egg Waffle - I opted for the Strawberry and I liked how it came with fresh strawberries and cream. This was just a delicious treat Ube Coffee - my favorite out of all the three coffees but I am also a fan of Ube so I may be biased. Brulee Cofee - gotta love me some egg coffee! House Coffee - perfect for those that aren't ready to experiment with egg coffee or ube yet. read more

This place was good! Vietnamese can never do you dirty, it's so strong it can't be watered down. The sweet cream on top was perfect with its slight saltiness. Parking wasn't terrible and I went around lunch time! Would try this place again. Love that El Monte has been stepping up their game! read more

This boba shop is really pretty! I really like the decor. They have their own parking lot. It's a small shop but very welcoming inside. Their drinks are perfect. I usually adjust the sweetness to my drinks but decided to keep the original. The drinks came out great! I got the strawberry fusion, fruity peach, lychee zen, brulee coffee, and sunset passion. My favorite is the fruity peach because I like the basil seeds. I also order the original flavor egg waffle. It takes about 15 minutes to make. It seems so good when you get it. It's hot and I forgot how good egg waffles taste. I would come back for their egg waffles and drinks. read more

I've passed by this location many times and finally got to try it this past weekend. The brulee coffee was what caught my attention since I can only find egg coffee in OC area. This one is pretty darn close except it has a lot of chocolate powder and ice for my liking. Next visit I will get the larger size and request less ice and less chocolate powder. I was also intrigued by their waffles so I decided to try the pandan with coconut flakes. I prefer my waffles to be crispy but this was a bit soft/soggy. It was very IG worthy with the pretty packaging box though. I would like to come back and try other coffee drinks such as the ube or the fruit drinks. read more

B'Let's Roastery (this visit): Brûlée Coffee is kinda good, but sweeter than I expected. A bit too sweet for my taste. Lychee Zen at 50% sugar is perfect. More than that would be way too sweet. Have to say, my choices this time were better than what I ordered last time. Waffle Studio (previously visit): Avocado Coffee was alright and Hot Sesame Coffee (better, but not memorable). Maybe the iced version would be a better choice? Food/dessert wise...they're okay. Some are mediocre. Drinks: Lychee Zen 4.5/5 Brûlée Coffee 4.25/5 Sesame Coffee (hot) 4/5 Avocado Coffee (ice blended) 3.5/5 Food: Bao or buns 3/5 Taiyaki 2.5/5 Feel like there's a lot of competition on the same street. YoTea is somewhat newly opened and Da Vien is Coming Soon. There's also 4 Starbucks in the Vicinity. Great for customers (lots of choices n options), but bad for businesses. Hopefully, they all sustain and thrive. read more

3.5 stars for mediocre waffles and decent Vietnamese coffee. Specializing in egg waffles, this aesthetic cafe has a variety of different waffle, tea, and coffee options. However, they seemed to be sold out of several of their waffle flavors and taiyaki flavors which they also sell when I visited. On their menu they have several flavors, but when I tried ordering some them, they were mostly sold out. I ordered a strawberry egg waffle and sesame waffle initially, but they were sold out of the sesame and didn't tell me until after I had already placed my order and I had to ask about my missing waffle after only receiving just my strawberry waffle. I ended up asking for the cheese cream waffles instead. The waffles tasted just okay. They became soggy pretty quick and the strawberry waffle was a bit too cooked while the cheese cream waffle was a bit undercooked. For $7-8 each waffle, it wasn't really worth due to the lack of toppings and flavor in my opinion. The strawberry egg waffle came with a drizzle of strawberry sauce, cut strawberries, and a strawberry cream. The cheese cream just came with the side of cream. I ordered the egg coffee which is apparently also called their brulee coffee based on my receipt, and an Ube coffee. The ube and egg coffee tasted pretty good though. I liked the taste and sweetness of the Vietnamese coffee that it came with. However, the coffee was topped with a bit too much ube cream and egg cream foam, so the proportion of the coffee ended up being mostly sweet foam rather than coffee. The egg and Ube foam was good, but I would've preferred having more coffee and little less of the creams. Overall a mediocre spot for egg waffles and coffee. I think it's pricey for the quality of waffles that you're getting but I'm glad I tried it out. It's definitely a nice and aesthetic spot to hang out with a good amount of tables available. read more

I've driven by this place many times, seen it on socials, and am happy that I finally got to try it out this weekend. My new fave Viet Coffee spot in the 626!? ITEM'S ORDERED: Sesame Coffee Vietnamese Coffee Matcha Coffee Ube Coffee Pandan Coconut Waffle Black Sesame Waffle TASTE: Not to be unoriginal but my favorite was the OG, straight up Viet Coffee. Not to say the other drinks were bad in anyway, it's just I enjoy the original version so much, I don't think any variation ever stands up to it. Strong bold coffee, balanced out by the proper amount of sweetness, always so good. The other drinks which are basically Viet Coffee but with a flavored cream on top all reminded of Da Vien (in the OC) when I first saw the pics. I'll have to say that I may prefer these though simply since I like the texture of the creams better than the overly thick versions at Da Vien. This way they can more easily be mixed into the overall drink for better flavor balance. The Sesame Coffee was interesting since even though the coffee is so strong, you can detect that roasted, nutty flavor adding another dimension which is worth a try. The Matcha Coffee has a strong enough matcha flavor which is not lost when it's paired with the strong coffee base and is a good choice if you enjoy both matcha and coffee. The Ube Coffee has a nice look with it's deep purple color and was overall the sweetest with light notes of coconut coming from the ube. I don't get these type of waffles often but since I enjoy the black sesame flavor I tried the Black Sesame Waffle and it's really good paired with the sesame cream. The waffle itself is quite light and has a pretty subtle sesame flavor which is nice. Having it with the cream added a little more sesame flavor along with salt and sweet. SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING: The service was very good here. They were nice at the counter and even though it was very busy, they service was still there. The are located right at the corner of Rosemead & Garvey in Garvey Rose Center, right across from Starbucks. Parking is easy since the center has it's own parking lot. If you know the area, you know the intersection right here is very busy so be careful leaving the parking lot. There are about 6 tables inside and an aesthetically pleasing wall for you to use for your IG photos of your drinks. If you are looking for a solid Viet Coffee spot that's not in the OC, you should make your way to Waffle Studio. Cheers! read more

So yummy! I went with the matcha coffee foam and the foam is super thick and filled with strong matcha flavoring!!! The coffee isn't too sweet and one of the best vietnamese coffees I have tried. The employees are super friendly and let us sample the coffee so we knew how to adjust the sweetness accordingly. The currently also have a bogo 50% off on coffee in the morning. The location is super close to my house and i'm glad I gave this place a try. Will definitely be back for other drinks :) The interior design is also super cute inside and there's a little seating area as well. read more

Small local business for Vietnamese coffee and more. There are a few tables inside with bench style seating and some tables outside. The parking lot has plenty of space on a Sunday morning, but I'm sure during the weekday it can get busy. The service is pretty quick if you're just buying drinks, we ordered two of the ube viet coffee lattes, waited about 5 minutes. The ube cream is not too sweet, I would recommend ordering it to try out but the menu has so many options, it was hard to choose. read more

Egg coffee is amazing, the store has changed decorations with more seats, nice place to spend time with friends and family.

Great for a viet coffee fix! Suck that's it's located in a congested area of El Monte bc the traffic was horrible to get in and out. But the interior is cute and perfect for studying or hanging out w friends but kinda tiny. I got the Ube coffee which had the perfect balance of Uber to coffee ratio. The cream is very thick like Da Vien and I like to mix the cream together vigorously so taking the cap off was needed or else the cream gets all over the cap (me problem). Service was nice and quick. Will come again! read more

I absolutely love Vietnamese coffee and this place did a great spin on it with matcha cream foam. I'm still speechless from how much I enjoyed my drink.

I'll be back to try all their other drinks! read more

So excited to hear of another Hong Kong Waffle joint with boba so I made a point to try it out asap. Sad to say, we were not impressed. Disclaimer - we did not order any boba drinks and I notice most of the positive reviews were for the drinks. In fact, when we were waiting for our waffles, another customer complimented the staff on their suggestion for taro milk tea and how delicious it was. So, we came for Waffles, hence the name of the place is Waffle Studio. Thankfully during the soft opening the waffles are buy 2 get 1 free because they are pricier than most other HK waffles at $8 each. Here's what we got: Egg Waffle Boba - plain egg waffle with boba mixed in the batter. It's exactly as it sounds. The boba were okay. Egg Waffle Strawberry - this was the best of all the waffles we ordered. Nice presentation and the strawberries were fresh and sweet. Egg Waffle PanDan - Presentation was okay. I could not taste that much pandan flavor. Waffle Studio cookie - all I will say is skip this. Looks nice but was very hard with no distinct flavor other than sugar. The waffles are nothing spectacular and I have to say it is overpriced. My suggestion is to add some mochi to the batter, make the flavor more eggy? The dine in presentation is sad. The round waffle doesn't even fit on the rectangular styrofoam plate. To end on a positive note though, the interior decor is great. Love the Halloween themed items appropriate for October. read more

Unfortunately the waffles and drinks are not as good as they look. For soft opening, they have a buy 2 get 1 free deal in which you can mix and match waffles and drinks. I'm not sure how long this will go on for. Dragon Lichi: Felt more like shaved ice than a slush. There are 3 layers of flavors: dragonfruit, lychee, and mango. It was ok, but I was hoping for a refreshing drink, which this was not. Matcha Brulee: Reminded me of spoiled milk. With every sip, I tasted a mouthful of slimy and chunky "brulee." I tried to thoroughly mix the drink to get rid of chunks, but to no avail. It was honestly disgusting, so I threw most of it away. Ended up having a tummy ache shortly after this. Condensed milk egg waffle: Meh. I was expecting a warm egg waffle covered in condensed milk. Instead, I got a cold egg waffle topped with a bunch of cocoa powder and barely any condensed milk. If you look at the menu, you'll only see the basic egg waffles. They have much more variety on their counter display, including stroopwafels as well as egg waffles. Some flavors I saw are oreo, fruity pebbles, and walnut. Best thing about this place is the aesthetic appearance. They have cute decorations and cute cups. Their packaging is sturdy. Service was a bit slow, but no big deal. The staff seemed friendly. read more

I will never be going to this place again. The food was MID but that wasn't the major factor that played into my review today. The staff that operate this establishment are downright immature and incompetent. I was waiting for service, while the staff behind the counter stood around and laughed to each other. My experience was moreover ruined by the presence of homeless man that continually berated and harassed me and other paying customers. I watched him approach two young ladies and touch them after giving them notes. Mind you, he looked around 60 and the girls looked like middle schoolers with backpacks, studying. He also made a toddler cry. When the mother presented the staff evidence of the incidence, they laughed it off and made fun of the kid. I've never seen such disrespectful workers ever and I will not be coming back to a facility with such horrible morals. read more

Aesthetically pleasing! We ordered the taro milk, sesame egg waffle and mango snow. Taro milk was very milky with a faint taste of taro. Mango snow was decent, a little bit watered down to my liking. Sesame waffle was the best one we ordered. Crispy, and you can taste the sesame flavor. I liked the sauce that it came with it. I think it condensed milk with sesame. Great staff. Clean space. read more
