I love Cafe De Olla in downtown Monrovia, so when they opened up the Duarte location, I was eager to try. It's a lot smaller than the Monrovia location and doesn't have any seating. It's not a sit down restaurant but more of a quick grab and go bakery. When you enter the store, there are pastries on the right side of the wall, cakes in the back of the store and croissants in the display area next to the cashier on the left. My husband and I had the signature iced cafe de olla and cold brew with cafe de olla cold foam. The cold brew is very smooth and the signature iced coffee is always a treat. I'm looking forward to trying the ham & cheese croissant and other pastries. A plus for nice staff. read more

I dream of this place! Cannot go wrong with a mazapan frappe and a quesadilla (salvadorian sweet bread). The stuffed bolillos are to die for! I love the cream cheese and jalapeño and they warm em up for you. They also have readily packaged cake slices and whole cakes. Sometimes I stop by and grab a box of pan dulce for my coworkers. Wonderful bakery with delicious pan dulce. I saw they have Roscas in January as well. read more

Purchased a carrot cake for my sons birthday. He really liked it, to me the frosting on the outside was good but the middle frosting was hard and had a different texture. It was his cake and he liked it so that's what matters. I also purchased a couple of pieces of sweet bread which were 2.50 each which I thought was a little steep but I love my Mexican sweet bread. The bread was very hard and not very good. The only thing that was good was the blueberry muffin. read more

Cute new bakery location in Duarte, I love how early they open so it's nice to stop by if you start work early. The pastries here are good with plenty of selections, I personally really like the refugiado (guava and cream cheese strudel) and cubilete (mini cheese tart)! read more

So glad this place was open early. Friendly cashier. Ordered the cafe de olla and several different pan dulces and cookies. I enjoyed the regular pan dulces more than the specialty pistachio one but overall was very good. read more

Looks nice inside, however that was the only pro. Guy and girl worker there having a "fun" conversation on their own, looked bothered I came in and they had to help me. Girl more had more tude than the dude. The peanut drink I got tasted was meh. Not even that hot. Wasn't worth the price. At the cashier, there was a chocolate covered banana bread thing that looked good through the glass container. However, when the glass top was lifted and revealed the sweet item, I could see a glistening sheen on top of the chocolate--condensation-- I was thinking uh oh...looks like it's been in a freezer or fridge and wasn't fresh, and I was right. Tasted terrible! Texture terrible! Like mushy inside. I shouldn't have bought it when I see the condensation, but I wanted to give it a try. wasn't worth the price read more

Although I was reluctant to travel outside of old town Whittier, I was genuinely surprised. I was met with a great atmosphere, which included kind folks, and aesthetic interior, all were pleasing to my senses. Since we had made a reservation, there was no waiting for us. Our server was attentive, and the food was really great. I enjoyed the Family atmosphere displayed when a birthday was recognized and celebrated by the staff. Of course our group cheered each and every celebration. We danced we sang we clapped. It was marvelous. Job well done my hats off to the establishment and the helpers. read more

Finally, a coffee spot in Duarte that isn't Starbucks! Café de Olla Bakery & Café just opened and I'm so glad we gave it a try. The place is bright, super clean, and gives off that modern panadería feel--like your favorite neighborhood bakery but leveled up. I ordered the Ferrero iced latte and it was delicious. You could still taste the espresso--so it wasn't just syrupy sugar water pretending to be coffee (looking at you, chain cafés). It had a nice nutty, chocolatey flavor but still gave me that caffeine kick I needed. We also tried the chorizo burrito, and let me tell you, it wasn't just eggs with a hint of chorizo--it actually had a good portion of seasoned chorizo, fresh ingredients, and tasted homemade. They've got a ton of dessert options (chocoflan, carrot cake, creamy banana, and more), traditional pan dulce, ready-to-go cakes, and even birthday candles and cute toppers. The service was great too--the guy helping us was really nice and quick, which made the experience even better. Support local and skip the drive-thru--Café de Olla is a total win for Duarte! read more

A perfect little place for coffee and baked goods or cake instead of the option if eating at the restaurant. A huge variety of baked goods, cakes, etc. Especially the famous Cafe de olla In the shopping area , besides Habit. The lady at that helped us was very nice & friendly. The place was nice & clean read more

Great food and wonderful service! This has become a family favorite, and our go-to restaurant in Monrovia. Our family has tried lots of different dishes and every single one of them is great! We love that they serve breakfast all day. The Churro waffles are amazing! Even their beans and rice are so good you could have them on their own! Do yourself a favor and visit there Bakery case on the way out as well. :-) read more

Unlike its other shop, this location focuses on the pan dulce more than a full breakfast dining experience. I have to admit, they have some of the best pan I've had albeit a little pricier than the smaller shops. I got a huge assortment of them and the consensus was they were all pretty good. The system is set up for self service and you just put on a tray and get checked out. Glad this one is closer to my house as I will look forward to trying more of their tasty pastries. read more

The wait time can be a bit extensive because they usually only have one person both attending to the cash wrap and making the coffee. Despite this inconvenience the coffee is so worth it. I have had the Chai latte, cafe de olla frappe, and the hot cafe de olla. Yum! The frappe is my favorite. It's heaven on earth. I've tried a few bakery items as well. The apple cinnamon cheesecake is pretty good 7.5/10. The pecan tart 8/10. The cookies 8/10. The egg sandwich 0/10. However the salsa that comes with it is tasty. I will always come for the coffee though. Nice little cafe. I drive 30 minutes for it! read more

Amazing coffee. Pastries are ok. Desserts, I might skip. Good ride pudding though! Food is ok. On the small portion size. They use quality meat. And I particularly like the service, very attentive. Beautiful and spacious inside. I would come again. read more

Cute little shop (owners are the same as the Monrovia restaurant) tucked in the Stater Brother's shopping center. They offer a nice variety of cafe de olla coffee selections (ie: regular cafe de olla, iced coffee, cafe de olla lattes, etc) and it definitely satisfied the craving and it wasn't overly sweet. Their bakery store front offered various pan dulces, breads, cake slices (I love this concept) and full sized cakes in their fridge. Overall, the price point is very reasonable, especially for a very good tasting cup of cafe de olla. Wait was very short (given that it was a random Thursday mid morning). Will be returning.... read more

Café de Olla was excellent. The bread was freshly made, and the pieces of pan dulce were huge -- definitely shareable between two or even three people. The cake was outstanding. I picked one up for my cousin's birthday, and it was absolutely delicious. I've eaten at the restaurant before, and this time I stopped by just the bakery, and it was just as great. Highly recommended. read more

Overpriced! Customer service not great. Probably went twice and realized they sell same baked goods with higher price than regular bakery or grocery read more

We were excited to try this new place in the area. Love the clean new aesthetic. It's very modern and clean! I tried an assortment on concha's and I enjoyed them all. I can't wait to go back and try the coffee ! read more

Super cute little coffee/bakery shop in a plaza that's easy to find parking. I got the cafe olla latte and the coffee flavor was fantastic. The flavor contains cinnamon, brown sugar, and some spices. It may not be everyone's cup of tea so I would stray away if you aren't open to trying new things. My friend got the vanilla latte and she said it was fantastic. The lattes are based with whatever milk you want (at no extra cost) and 2 espresso shots. The coffee was strong and smooth and would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area trying to find a new local cafe! (: read more

This place is a cute spot! But unfortunately I paid $14 for a very normal and underwhelming grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing special, just one cheese on white bread. It also took a full hour from chatting with the host to getting my sandwich. That said the staff was very friendly and made sure we were covered by shade, which was appreciated. read more

Got two mid coffees and somehow it costed me 17 dollars? We threw them out immediately. The first time I went a heavier set man didn't make eye contact with me or say hi when I walked in, he simply stared at his phone until I was face to face with him to pay for my drink. 2/2 misses. Overpriced for watered down drinks. Go to LA or other coffee shops actually worth the price and decent customer service. read more

This place is such a huge bonus for us who live in the city of Duarte. Today I finally got a chance to pop in. The staff are super friendly, the place is super clean, coffee is of course amazing, and all of the different bakery goods were fresh and delicious! I am so happy that we have this place nearby now. I applaud Café de olla for making the investment in our city. read more

The space is beautifully decorated, very clean and organized. However, as someone who doesn't speak or read Spanish, I spent about 10 minutes just looking over the bread and Googling what each item was. I wasn't greeted during my visit and only got help after I asked about a specific bread. Since your customer base is expanding, it would really help to label each bread with a short description, and please, include the price (unless I entirely missed it, it would still be helpful to include the price next to the name). 85°C Bakery executes this well, and adopting that approach would make the experience smoother and more welcoming. I bought 2 bread and didn't know the price until checkout... $5.53 felt a bit steep without that info upfront. A little more clarity would go a long way. read more
