Stopped by Mobar Coffee and really enjoyed their creative drink menu…read more The banana matcha coffee was fun and unique, with a noticeable banana flavor that made it feel playful and different from the usual matcha drinks you see everywhere. The horchata latte was a standout -- smooth, comforting, and nicely balanced with just the right amount of cinnamon sweetness. I also tried the almond croissant, which was flaky and satisfying, making it a solid pastry to pair with the drinks. Overall, Mobar Coffee is a great spot if you're looking for inventive flavors and something a little outside the box. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty drinks.

I have been on a quest to try different coffee spots in my surrounding areas, but this spot may bring me to a halt (lol). I didn't realize this little spot was here until a few weeks ago that my husband and I stopped by the brewery (after many times) to watch a game and have a few drinks. That's when we noticed the coffee bar. Service was friendly and they do have a good selection to choose from. I stopped on a Friday morning for fuel (coffee) before running errands, and went with the strawberry horchata cold foam. I was pleasantly surprised. It was perfect and not overly sweet. I also got a pistachio crescent, warm, and was delicious. I stopped by the following morning, and went with the pumpkin spice chai latte, which was perfect! And pistachio crescent to share with my son, which he ended up taking, despite him not having a sweet tooth for baked goodies like I do. Highly recommend this little spot!!

The Yelp reviews were really high, so I figured I'd give it a shot and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint!The coffee was perfect: sweet, smooth, and not overpowering at all. It had just the right balance of flavor without being too heavy. The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.The ambiance was chill and relaxed, especially considering it's located near a play area. It made for a pleasant experience overall. My only downside is that there really isn't a sitting area to enjoy your drink and hang out for a while, which would have made the experience even better.Overall, I was very happy with my visit and will definitely be back for another coffee!

(If you didn't recognize the Blues Clues reference, it was before your time). Located inside the mall, I took the stairs to the second floor and there it was. I spied with my little eye a corner stall with baristas brewing coffee and other craft drinks. (Another childhood reference). After checking out the menu, I ordered their Horchata latte and added horchata cold foam. The drink was pretty good, and satisfied both my caffeine needs and my sweet tooth cravings. ****************** 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.

It's right by multiple apartment complexes and they have their own parking lot so that shouldn't be an issue. The service was speedy and friendly. The baristas here were helpful in providing us their recommendations as this was our first time here. The prices are about average for a 2026 hipster-like coffee shop. I thoroughly enjoyed the pastries here. My wife said it was one of the best cold brews she has had in a while. I have no complaints. Bottom line/TLDR: solid coffee shop in the OC.

Not only was there an employee taking orders down the line from a small mobile device, but they were also sampling some of their coffee roasts to guests in line. It was such a cool experience being able to taste the unique roasts and made the wait go by very quickly. Staff was all very friendly and knowledgeable, taking their time with each guest to explain the menu and answer any questions. Drinks are on the pricier side, but you can taste the quality of their coffee and even their matcha. We ordered the Yorokobi matcha series, a hot latte, and a decaf iced cortado with oat milk. My favorite Stereoscope location as far as ambiance and full experience!

Roam & Brew is hands down our favorite coffee + matcha spot in Montebello, and the place we kept…read morecoming back to without even thinking twice. I always order the matcha with 1.5 scoops of matcha, vanilla syrup, and light ice, and it's consistently perfect every single time, rich, smooth, not watered down, and clearly made with quality matcha. You can actually taste it, which sadly isn't a given these days. My boyfriend's go-to is the vanilla cold brew with a splash of whole milk, and it never misses. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, just really well done. Beyond the drinks, the vibe is what really sets Roam & Brew apart. It's always busy for a reason. Friendly staff, welcoming energy, and a place that genuinely feels like it was built for the community. You never feel rushed or like just another order. Consistency, quality, and care are everything in a coffee shop, and Roam & Brew nailed all three. It's obvious how much thought goes into what they serve and how they show up for customers. Montebello is lucky to have had this spot, and it's a huge loss to see them go. If you're reading this and still have a chance to visit, do it. This place truly deserved the love it got

We waited in line about 5 minutes which gave me time to check out their main menu and a cute customer favorites menu.

J ordered a large cold brew. The April is good, the espresso is very present but not overwhelming and I knew what to expect. The cold brew could be stronger but it tastes good.

It's conveniently right off the 60 freeway, with both indoor and outdoor seating and a welcoming local feel.

I also like that they heat everything in a toaster oven instead of a microwave. The coffee is consistently good, and I'll definitely keep coming back. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

We were greeting instantly when walking up to the counter, very friendly service. We ordered the Rosecrans Early Bird Sandwich, the Santa Fe Springs Sandwich, and two Iced Lattes. Both sandwiches were really good and flavorful. Just a heads-up -- the Santa Fe Springs sandwich is best enjoyed right away, as the bread can get a little soggy if it sits too long. The coffee was solid -- smooth and balanced, no complaints there. I also appreciated the variety of menu options and pastries available, which makes it an easy go-to for breakfast or a quick coffee break. Overall, great vibe, good food, and plenty of space to relax or get work done. Definitely will be stopping by again!

The counter's lined with fresh pastries, drinks, and a chalkboard menu full of coffee and breakfast favorites, making it the kind of place you just want to relax in for a while. I ordered the breakfast burrito with ham and bacon, and even though it's on the smaller side, the flavor was absolutely anazing. The tortilla was grilled and tasty, the inside packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, diced potatoes, and that perfect mix of salty ham and smoky bacon. Every bite was full of flavor, and came with a side of jalapeños and homemade hot sauce, it had just the right amount of kick. I really enjoyed this one, and the quality of everything from the ingredients to the presentation made everything fantastic!

My friend tried the Cloudy ($7) which is described as red date, pear, and cream, so she wasn't expecting coffee to be in it LOL. Now you know! I only wish they closed later than 4:30pm T-T

Service is efficient and our drinks came out decently quickly. This was around lunch time on a Sunday. As with almost every new drink or coffee place, minimalist aesthetic and a place for people to study and catch up I suppose. Wouldn't say it's the most unique. We got the: 1) Hojicha Latte: -We got this iced and you have the option to sweeten it with simple syrup or something else. We got this with a black sesame flavor and just the standard milk that it came with. -Not too sweet, but the taste of the sesame or even the hojicha can be a bit stronger as we've had similar drinks to this that were more appealing. 2) Iced Chocolate Milk: -I mean you can't really mess this up to be honest. It's mixed well and doesn't taste scathingly sweet like a bottled chocolate milk. My boyfriend got a no sugar coffee here and it still tasted pretty sweet (like unadjusted Starbucks sweet) and it was just tossed into my chocolate milk because he couldn't stomach it. Overall, it's just okay. I'm not really a coffee person, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
