    Outdoor patio
    Jessica P.

    Wow what a place! I know of copa vida before they opened in Glendale so was pleasantly surprised to see this location. Very hidden, unique & a lovely experience. Very much business vibes as it's in a business building and mostly a lot of people going to work in offices. GREAT patio!! So spacious, cozy and shaded in places. I cant wait to come back

    Cold brew with vanilla brown sugar foam top
    Sofia P.

    Came in on my break in a rush and the barista was friendly and quick. I like how this place is a bit hidden, but surprisingly spacious. The vanilla brown sugar foam top cold brew summer special drink was pretty good. They were out of most of their pasteries when I came here around 9:30 though which I was looking forward to, maybe next time.

    Awesome service and chill place to get work done!
    Mark M.

    The service here is exceptional--cheerful and genuine interest in customers. The atmosphere is chill and easy to work in. A gem tucked away in Glendale. Also great cappuccino! Love it.

    Cute barista

    I love this place. The barista is so friendly (and so cute). He makes tasty lattes, always friendly, I wish I could date him but he's not single, the pastries and sandwich are so fresh, the vibe is chill, great study spot, he definitely works out...if you need a place to chill, Copa Glendale is your spot!

    Honey oat latte, oat flat white, butter croissant.

    I love this place! Got their honey oat latte and my boyfriend got an oat flat white. The worker is so sweet and kind and always so accommodating to all of my requests! The parking is not really much of an issue as there is a lot of residential parking nearby. The interior is beautiful and lots of work space. 10/10 recommend~

    Sadly, this location is so inconsistent. Sometimes they have food on their menu sometimes they have nothing. Sometimes they have pastries, sometimes they don't. The only consistency I have observed is that they have one size cup for coffees and they are over priced compared to other coffee shops serving the same ounces. They need to be less reliant on the other location (pasadena) providing food for this location and start making simple items onsite or get more items. The location and space is nice. The service is not great because they likely spend most of their day disappointing customers. They should have an extra mid-day run to Pasadena to restock on food/pastry items on the menu. Running out of everything by 11:00 and still open for 3 more hours, is awful. I used to love the convenience of this spot, but they have a lot to work on. Thankful for the days that the building brings in another food vender.

    I do not like leaving bad reviews. I gave this coffee shop many chances before leaving this review…read morebecause I understand everyone has off days. Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Walking into a coffee shop should feel welcoming. Instead, most visits feel cold and uncomfortable. There is rarely a hello, welcome, smile, or thank you from the staff. The overall attitude often feels bothered or uninterested, almost like customers are an inconvenience rather than appreciated guests. The coffee itself is decent at times, inconsistent at others, but customer service is what keeps people coming back. I truly hope the owner and management take this feedback seriously and focus on creating a more welcoming environment. A simple greeting, smile, and positive attitude go a long way. There are many coffee shops people can choose from, and feeling appreciated matters just as much as the product itself. I wanted to support this business, but after many visits and the same experience over and over again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

    Decided to check this spot out over the weekend on a whim. It's kind of on a busy street but there…read moreis some residential and that street is SUPER small so good luck finding parking there too. We got lucky lol! They have some nice seating and tables on the side of their building down that same residential street and they also have umbrellas for shade which is nice. Walked in and what a beautiful cafe! You immediately notice all the musical instruments which makes me think they have live music some times. Ordered at the counter and asked what their "RAF Latte" was and the guy mentioned it was for the customers who wanted them to be more on the sweeter side and less strong so I went for their Horchata latte. Took a few minutes to get my drink but as soon as I saw it, it looked absolutely delish! And it was. Super creamy, still on the sweeter side but the creaminess is what I loved most about it. Still strong enough for my liking so I would definitely come back and get it again! IG: @ammysalamii

I got the iced tiramisu latte. It was okay. A bit too on the sweet side for me. I still finished it because I wasn't about to let $11 go to waste. It came with a ladyfinger cookie which was a cute touch. Unsure if I'd come back; maybe if I was in the area again. But that's me. I still recommend others give this place a shot. Oh...pretty much street parking only.

Always a pleasant experience at these bakeries. This Glendale bakery café was clean, bright, and beautifully organized with a large variety of pastries, cakes, and drinks on display. I tried the Strawberry Soft Cream Cake, Berries cake, Curry Croquette, and their signature iced Korean lattes. The pastries were soft and flavorful without being overly sweet, and the cakes looked just as good as they tasted. The curry croquette wasn't a favorite of mine. It was my first time trying and the spices didn't amaze my palette. I will have to try their garlic bread next time if I feel like getting something savory. Their sweets are always a hit for me! Overall, the staff was friendly and greeted customers warmly as they come in. Small parking lot at this location but still worth the wait. Good visit!

Unfortunately, after that, I never heard back. It's disappointing because it initially seemed like they wanted to make things right, but nothing was ever resolved. Giving away a cake that had been pre-ordered two weeks in advance for my daughter's birthday was already incredibly frustrating. The lack of follow-up after reaching out only reinforced the poor customer service we experienced.

    My Cafe & Lounge is a beautiful corner café located right in the heart of Glendale. The exterior is…read moreelegant, well-lit, and inviting, making a great first impression. One thing I appreciated immediately was the parking. There is plenty of street parking, a parking structure directly across the street, and additional parking nearby, so getting there was surprisingly easy. As soon as we walked in, the owner, who was sitting near the entrance, warmly welcomed us. We initially started walking toward the cozy booth section in the back, but were told that area is reserved for dinner service and wasn't open... We weren't the only ones confused, as another guest came in shortly after and tried to sit there as well. That left us deciding between a few café tables downstairs, outdoor seating, or the upstairs loft. We first tried upstairs, but there were only a couple of two-top tables available. One was occupied by guests working on laptops, and the seating felt a little close together. The remaining tables were reserved for larger parties, so we ended up heading back downstairs. One of the available booths faced the restroom, which isn't my favorite, but I simply sat on the opposite side and it worked out just fine. Once we got settled, everything improved. Our server was friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. I ordered the French baguette turkey sandwich, while we also tried the spicy chicken sandwich, which both the server and the owner highly recommended. The owner even mentioned it's what he personally eats almost every day, and I can see why, it was delicious. We also ordered fries to share along with two hot lattes: a chai tea latte and a mocha. Both coffee drinks were excellent and easily some of the highlights of our meal. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a coffee date. Before dessert, the owner recommended the mini pancakes and the waffles, with ice cream. They both looked great, but I've had similar desserts at several other cafés recently, so I wanted to try something different. I ordered the brownie with ice cream instead, and I'm so glad I did. It was rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. One thing the owner emphasized was that they use fresh ingredients without preservatives and focus on quality. After our meal, I believe it. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with care. Our total for two people, including tip, came to about $120. It's a little on the pricier side for a café, but you're also paying for the ambiance, quality ingredients, attentive service, and the overall experience. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit. My only suggestion would be to make the seating situation a little clearer for first-time guests, since several of us naturally gravitated toward the closed dining section. Other than that, the welcoming hospitality, quality food, excellent coffee, and relaxing atmosphere made this a place I'd happily return to.
