Love going there! Sit for hours cool environment! Service is excellent. Lentil soup tasted so good. I love their salad. Must visit cafe. read more

I come to Café Montrose every single week and it never disappoints. The turkey club is consistently so good, flavorful, and perfectly toasted every time. I always pair it with their caramel iced latte with oat milk, which is honestly one of my favorites here. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. On top of that, the café is always spotless and has such a comfortable, inviting vibe. If you're looking for a go-to spot with amazing food, great drinks, and genuinely friendly service, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

I don't know what's really going on here, but I swear this place is charging extra. Just realized the matcha lattes are 5.95, so why did I pay 6.95 for nothing extra. Did you charge me 1.00 for honey???? Like wtf, second time here now, just getting a cake since the matchas aren't that great. Now the cake is horrible. What's with the inconsistency of this place. I don't recommend this place at all. Response to the "Owner" I still don't believe that one bit, but you can say what you'd like. Regardless I don't care, if you are the blonde lady who was sitting at one of the tables with a container of food and laptop I believe, you should really be a little more pleasant to your customers. The attitude and eye roll you have the girl who said the coffee tasted like nothing what was lying. My matchas taste bitter and unpleasant which really should never be a problem if you know how to make matcha lattes. Be nicer, even the responds you gave me was hostile. Not one apology, maybe the food industry isn't your calling. read more

We've been coming to this place for the past 4 years and truly loved it under the previous owners. Unfortunately, ever since the new ownership took over, the experience has completely changed and the quality it's not the same at alllll The new owner was extremely rude, unprofessional, and clearly lacks customer service skills. Today, on Mother's Day, we ordered avocado toast and quiche with salad. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, our food finally arrived -- and I was honestly shocked by the portion size and the poor quality of the avocado toast (I'll attach the photo). After politely speaking to the waiter and waiting for assistance, no one came back. I eventually had to go inside myself and speak directly to the owner. Instead of resolving the issue properly, she simply said they couldn't remake it and offered "extra avocado" instead. After waiting another 5 minutes, she told me to go sit outside and they would bring it out. They brought very tiny avocado slices. What should have been a beautiful Mother's Day experience was completely ruined. In the end, my husband had to go inside and request a refund. We are beyond disappointed and will never return. Customers deserve kindness, respect, and proper service -- and sadly this place no longer offers any of that. Avoid this place if you value good service and being treated with respect. read more

Very cute cafe! Looks small but there's a good amount of seating available which was nice. Delicious food! Loved everything we ate. If you like your coffee stronger I would definitely recommend getting the extra shot. The latte I got (vanilla) didn't have a super vanilla-y taste, so it tasted more like milk and coffee. But everything was great! Service was fast and the servers/ cashier were nice. This is an order at the counter place btw! read more

We stopped here as we were driving by on the way home because of it's great reviews. We ordered their pancakes, bacon, a burger, chorizo skillet, chicken wrap and a breakfast burrito. Food was okay...the chorizo skillet seemed undercooked a bit. I had to mix it around and let it sit in the hot potatoes for it to "cook" a bit more. The burger we ordered was plain and not worth ordering ever again. The bacon was almost too crispy where it seemed brittle. The breakfast burrito was great and the best thing we ordered were the pancakes. Not a bad place but expected better food for the amount we paid. read more

This neighborhood cafe is a GEM! Great food that looks beautiful, excellent service, super friendly staff, and a relaxed, enjoyable spot in every way. The breakfast bowl was absolutely delicious. read more

Laid back, clean, great food, and friendly staff. Went on a beautiful Sunday morning and there were plenty of customers but no problem grabbing a table, either inside or outside. I gota Nutella latte and a breakfast burrito. Both were excellent. Breakfast burrito was slightly crispy outside, probably have been pressed while heated. I believe the yellow-hued salsa it came with has nopales in it - it was delicious with the burrito. No olive oil cake today, but I'll be back! read more

The service was impeccable such a home welcoming environment Thank you for the wholesome hospitality the food. The drinks are delicious. Well crafted and a lot of love and passion reflects in the food and service we received today thank you so much. Did I mention the coffee was amazing, if that much detail and love and passion was put into a simple little cup of coffee no wonder the salmon salad was next level. Thank you again.

Breakfast sandwich of your dreams. The dish in person looks like a picture from a magazine. I also recommend the Caesar wrap and chipotle wrap. Love the chicken salad recipe, very unique flavors from the tarragon. The staff are soooooo nice. I come here 1-2 times a week. Neighborhood gem for coffee and/ or a breakfast/lunch. read more

I was looking for a cute lunch spot to take my gf to before heading to descanso gardens and passed by this cafe. We decided to try it out after searching their menu online. I ordered a creme brulee french toast and a turkey sandwich. The creme brulee french toast was my favorite of the two. The toasts had a strong egg flavor and went really well with the slightly sweeter creme brulee cream and strawberries. A little bit of powdered sugar on top helped with the sweetness too. I ate most of the turkey sandwich because my gf liked the french toast more. I was expecting the turkey sandwich to be heavy but it felt surprisingly light. It bacon inside wasn't greasy or oily. The addition of red onions and avocado gave both a crunch and a creamy texture to the sandwich. There was a generous amount of turkey meat too. Overall, I was glad I found this place. It was an incredible experience while eating. We sat outside in the shade where there was also a slight breeze in 80 degree F weather. The cleaner air and delicious food along with the setting was just impeccable. We will be coming back to try other things on the menu. read more

The burrito was ok. The vanilla coffee tasted bland. The employees were in the back talking about their personal problems and work while I waited for my food, but other than that... it was ok. read more

I tried Cafe Montrose for the first time (to go) and I'm honestly blown away. I ordered the bae toast and it is hands down the best avocado toast I've ever had. You can tell they care about their quality and flavor. And the presentation was beautiful as you can see. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. I'll 100% be coming back. read more

randomly stumbled upon this GEM!!!!! i'm not a local and happened to stop by while waiting for an appointment... the egg sandwich literally cured something in me. eggs were perfectly fried with some sort of aioli and crispy bacon that was chefs kiss. friends got the crème brûlée french toast and breakfast burrito that was also great. service is chill, its just an order at the register and sit down situation. i live an hour away and i still think about this egg sammy! 10/10 recommend!! read more

This review is specifically for the to-go Au Lait coffee I ordered. Unfortunately, it tasted more like flavored syrup than actual coffee; weak and lacking any real coffee flavor. On the bright side, service was quick and the shop wasn't crowded. I was hoping to discover a new go-to coffee spot, but this one didn't quite hit the mark. read more

Went for a brunch on a weekend... Street parking only.. Ambiance was cool & homey... Service was quick, staff were friendly, and attentive. The place is not that big though, but there were spots outside as well. People come and go... so no waiting time so far. But thou getting busy, it was manageable. The food was savory. I liked the combination of ham and cheese croissant with rosemary. It added to the flavor.. The burger with bacon was juicy... and the chorizo hash was tasty.. not too much oil. my fave part was the toast with rosemary, it matched with freshly brewed coffee. Me and my husband has a good brunch, in a good and comfy place. Would love to come back and try their creme brulee french toast. read more

DO NOT COME TO THIS COFFEE PLACE, if ur an elite yelper. Coffee is tasteless, no flavor, grains are old , feels very acidic, felt like grains are very old. The owner answer my comment - in a very rude way- and she has the audacity to lie. " I live in Montrose, " not from Glendale. And no Karen lady you automatically added 4 dollars extra to the coffee. I returned the money bc obviously you need the money , and need to charge without customers consent. The worst coffee in the world. Do not come here!!! I just came to get a latte bc I wanted to support a small business. I got a latte which cost is 4.95, and I tap my card and guess what I was charge 4 dollars extra for almond milk. As an elite Yelper. I inquire about it and first the woman said Is a charge for almond milk. I let it go but my receipt said 8.95. So I asked again and now she change the story and said " oh is bc you had almond milk and u added a tip. " well I did not hit any buttons bc I like to give cash tip. So please don't support THIS SMALL businesses take your money to Blackcow where they will not charge 4 dollars a Automatically or add a tip without your and then the owner will not even apologize but instead lie to ur face. This is the worst coffee I have ever taste Do not come . read more

This place is super cute and great for brunch! They don't have a huge menu but their food is delicious and their service is great.

Great neighborhood breakfast/brunch spot with fresh ingredients and friendly service. The ham and cheese omelette was really good. the side sourdough toast it came with was delicious too. Place is nice and inviting. read more

We get our dog groomed every 6 weeks near there which is about 30 min from home and we got tired of IHOP. Six weeks ago, we saw Cafe Montrose and decided to stop in. We went again today as we were very pleased with the experience last time. Hubby loves their creme Brulee French toast. Last time I had a veggie breakfast burrito and today, I had a 2 egg breakfast. The coffee is nice and strong, the food is yummy, freshly made and nice portions. We spoke with the owner today, he is super nice. We will be back. More items to try out. read more

I've been there. I love the service and I love the food one place. I recommend everybody to visit.

Cute, small neighborhood cafe just off of the main area of Honolulu Ave, we stumbled in here for their breakfast. No wait for a Saturday morning, and we were able to find an open table easily. You order at the front and they bring it to you. I really liked the wide selection of their menu, makes me want to come back a second time to try more items! We had the Breakfast Bowl and the Breakfast burrito. The bowl was like a salad, which wasn't what I was expecting, but I enjoyed the flavors, and felt healthy eating it lol! The poached egg on top made all the difference. A yummy dish if you like pesto. Burrito was slightly on the smaller side, but flavors were good! Easy street parking, this restaurant is welcoming. Will come back! read more

this place has a cute ambiance but the food was a little disappointing. i had the egg sandwich special and a vanilla latte, both of which were just ok. the latte didn't have much of a vanilla flavor. my friend had their special honey cinnamon latte and said it was rather heavy on the cinnamon and not balanced out with sweetness. still, the staff were very nice and attentive and i hope the next time i am here i have some more noteworthy experiences! read more

Good food and service. Got in really quick and had our order taken right away! Great spot if you're in the area, highly recommend.

I'll keep this short. Nice area in town to sit outside for coffee but food isn't anything special and my meal was kind of bland. Not terrible but not great and outside chairs aren't the most comfortable and very close to your neighbor. Staff was friendly and coffee/latte was good but again nothing to go out of your away with. These are my opinions based on traveling to a lot of different places so no ill will towards this place. read more

I LOVE this place. Part of me wants to keep it a secret because of how good it is. I got a regular iced latte, a butter croissant and my mom got the honey cinnamon latte and an almond croissant. Not only were both drinks and croissants delicious, the service was great. I didn't get the name of the man who took our order and brought us our food but he was so sweet and nice. The ambiance is nice and it wasn't too busy when I went so parking was also easy. There's outdoor seating underneath awnings for nice shade and there was enough inside seating as well. I'm definitely coming back here. read more

Got the Swedish pancakes and their creme brûlée French toast! Both were good! Place wasn't a bad place to eat! However me and my friend did feel sick after eating here. Not sure what triggered it, but we could be wrong that it was from this place. Service was friendly and it seems like a good place to just grab some breakfast food. However parking is tricky, there's street parking in the front, but it's very limited, you may have to park in a nearby street! read more

We loved the ambiance, service and the food is great. The breakfast potatoes! I can't stop thinking about them!

Not fond of ordering at a counter and waiting to have food delivered but all in all good food. Coffee is hot and the Swedish pancakes were very good. The Chorizo Hash is not really hash, it is sausage "sauce" over a lot of Potatoes. Tasty but too many potatoes. The ambiance is urban charm with concrete floors and distressed furniture. It is okay but probably not going back soon read more

OK food just very very slow... Took me about 40 minutes to get a sandwich so just keep in mind. It's not a convenient spot.

I have been coming to get Breakfast every Wednesday, Friday and Sundays morning with 6 to 8 friends. I spend 7 dollars for a latte, and when I requested to get a regular coffee refill this store refuse to give me a cup. I don't understand how these people make business but, me and my friends won't be joining this place any more. Bad Service actitud from the owners, I do not recommend these place anymore! read more

Aesthetically pleasing, service was good, but no amount of lingonberry jam could resuscitate the dead blandness of the crepes underneath. My girl said the sandwich was good though, and the latte was well made. read more
