I recently came across my fellow Yelper's review on Cotti Coffee. You know who you are. It was such a great review. I thought I give them a try, too. Thanks! Cotti Coffee is located within the Hilton Plaza in San Gabriel. It's a corner shop on the 1st floor. Parking can be a challenge at the plaza, but they do have above ground and underground parking. Open inside space with limited seating. Kiosk and counter are available for ordering. One all gender restroom available in the back of the shop. Funny, I am not a big coffee drinker, but I have a tendency to try them whenever I can. I got the same drink flavor as my fellow Yelper... Pampas Blue Coco Latte. I asked for no ice. It came out with 2 inches less liquids. I was confused. It turned out it was a misunderstanding. Friendly lady staff thought I didn't want any coconut milk. Anyway, she gave me a side cup of the coconut milk. Thanks Miss! Maybe I'll leave it alone and drink it with the ice next time... at least it'll come out the way it is designed to be made. Coffee flavor was very light IMHO. I don't know what the light blue liquid was. Coconut milk was pretty standard stuff. I wasn't sure if I should stir the brown coffee and blue liquid plus coconut milk together or drink it unstirred. I was just confused... maybe I should have phoned a friend for advice LOL. Again, I am not a coffee drinker. Don't know my coffee ABC's. Anyway, no fault of Cotti Coffee. I would love to return and try their other coffee flavor drinks in hopes for a better experience and drink. Thanks Cotti Coffee!

Reasonably priced drinks and quick pick up times. I would recommend ordering in the app to 1) take advantage of their $0.99 promotion for new customers as well as 2) other promotions they have running. Cotti Coffee is located in a plaza right next to the Hilton. I had dimsum at Five Stars Seafood Restaurant next door and wanted to get a quick drink afterwards. Cotti Coffee was right there, so I decided to give them a try. I saw them when I was in traveling in China last year, but I thought they only had coffee drinks so wasn't interested. I only realized they offer non-coffee drinks recently. It seems like they're known for adding coconut milk to their drinks, as I saw a number of drinks with coconut milk. I placed an order for the jasmine coco milk tea in their app. Normally this drink is $5.49, but because I was a new customer, I had a $0.99 promo which I used for this order. While the drink was a steal, I don't think it was that great. I could taste both the jasmine tea and the coconut milk, but together I personally found it a weird combo. I got it half sugar and it wasn't very sweet either, so if I ever come back, I should get full sugar. My friend also tried their Coco Cotti ($5.49), which is coffee with coconut milk. I had some other promos available in the app and got $1.50 off the price, which isn't bad. I think it's one of their most popular drinks, but unfortunately he didn't like it as the coffee flavor was stronger than he prefers. It comes down to personal preference though. Most people were ordering ahead of time and picking up their orders, but they have some limited seating as well. There were 1-2 groups sitting and enjoying their drinks. When I went, there was a cardboard cutout of the Chinese actress Yang Mi, who is one of the brand ambassadors for this chain in China.

There is no complimentary wifi. There is a restroom for paying customers. It's one of the very few places that still has prices around $5-$6, I would say it's worth it to get your fix of coffee/matcha. There is a self pay kiosk, or you can pay with cashier. Tip: I downloaded their app and applied a discount code for my online drink. It was pretty easy to pair and order through my phone. Interior: Is more for chatting and hanging out in small groups. Matcha Coco Coffee Latte: Great matcha and coffee mix, the coconut milk made the drink have a creamy texture. Matcha was smooth and there was a good flavoring balance between the matcha and coffee.

Quick and convenient coffee stop is how I would describe Cotti coffee! You can order via the kiosk and the baristas call your name when it's ready. I've been really curious about this spot since it's a Chinese coffee change with unique coffees. I got the jasmine latte, less sweet. It was a smooth and creamy coffee with a jasmine fragrance. I appreciated that the jasmine wasn't overpowering. There's a few tables to sit and chat, but no outlets so I wouldn't recommend doing work or studying here.

"THAT'S **** GOOD!" I suddenly yelled. It felt like a Caffeine Train ran me over suddenly. The caffeine surge was delayed, but its arrival felt euphoric. I ordered the Pampas Blue Coco Latte ($4.49 - 16oz - Iced). This iced latte had a Sirius coffee blend, coconut milk, and milk. (Important: No Cash Accepted. Card only.) I arrived at Cotti Coffee (San Gabriel) on Friday (around 12:25PM). Parking is surprisingly convenient because there's an underground parking structure with plenty of space. There's even EV Charging Stations. Customers order at self-service kiosk. However, even after clicking the "Pay at Counter" option, staff said "No Cash Accepted." I inputted my card, and I disliked how it needed my pin number. Regardless, Staff is professional and cordial. Staff spoke limited English, but they communicated well. Drink took one minute and 58 seconds. Very fast! I absolutely adored the Pampas Blue Coco Latte ($4.49 - 16oz - Iced). This roast had a dark rich chocolate/mocha aftertaste. Its fresh coconut milk even swept me away into a momentarily happy stress-free bliss. "Delicious!!" Concerning ambiance, Cotti Coffee (San Gabriel) is clean and modern. However, this is a terrible study/work spot because there are zero electrical outlets. Fortunately, there's refreshing ventilation, a customer restroom, and upbeat music. This is an order-and-leave location. Overall, I had a really, really enjoyable coffee experience. It's so rare that a coffee causes me to burst into nonstop praise (filled with sporadic enthusiastic profanity) as I embrace its addictive, flavorful caffeine. "GOOD!! AHH!!! ****!" 4.9 out of 5

3/5/26 Finally! Walked on over to this plaza to avail what this coffee shop had to offer. The spot is small, can seat about a dozen patrons, cute, clean & purposeful. Staff are somewhat friendly & helpful (can use a little more customer service engagement lessons but, fairly amiable). The pastry case looks enticing, muffins, croissants). Parking is shared among businesses in it's pretty tight, but they do have underground parking along this plaza. There's only indoor seating no outdoor seating you can order at the front or order counter or if you prefer you can order at the kiosk or through the app.. i'm a sucker for a good deal so I took advantage of the new customer sign up to receive my first order for $0.99. Perhaps technology is not my strongest suit so it took a little bit of time for me to do this. It is worth it though if I plan on coming here often if the beverage I'm about to imbibe is good enough. I had to order the drink through the app (which meant I had to surrender my mobile number). Simple, my usual & yardstick, oat milk, latte, hot. And all the excitement I forgot to order it with oat milk. Then the employee said I'd have to correct it on the app which he couldn't figure himself so he said he'll just manually override that. Sigh. Many orders were for pick up/to-go. No one really stayed & enjoy their drink or treat. It's comfortable indoors, (current) music isn't blaring but it's still too loud for Hubby. It took a few minutes for my drink to be prepared, once ready, my number was called. Most places are a bit more personalized, not here. Overall, it was good, lacked depth (I miss Urth Caffe's specialty) but another visit. Coffee 3.5/5. All it takes is 4:26 minutes to get here on foot.

I was surprised to see Cotti when I passed by. I had first had Cotti in Shenzhen so I had to stop by when I passed this location. The drinks are good and at an affordable price. The service was fast and the baristas were friendly. The one thing to keep in mind is that there is not a lot of caffeine/coffee in most of their drinks. However I still do enjoy them a lot. The ambiance for this location was small, clean, and quiet. Overall I would definitely come back their drinks are fairly priced and they will generally have some sort of fun promotion going on as well. Value: 10/10 (with some of their promos) Taste: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Cleanliness: 8/10

Cotti is a popular Chinese coffee brand, especially among students and workers looking for affordable caffeine. When I lived in Beijing, I didn't order from Cotti often, but my coworkers would sometimes share Cotti coffee with me. I think their coffee is pretty good; I've tried both iced and hot varieties, and everything has been enjoyable. Today, we ordered the Iced and Hot Coco Cotti. The rainy weather made me want something hot, while my wife preferred iced. I tried her Iced Coco Cotti, and the layered coffee with white and brown was very eye-catching. It was a bit sweeter than the hot version. My wife used a promotional price on Hungry Panda, so the two coffees initially cost under $3. However, with delivery fees and tip, the total came to just under $10. I would order coffee from here again!

Got the pandan coco latte and cloud moouse matcha latte. The pandan had alot of pandan flavor but you could barely taste the coconut part. But it was still very good. The cloud moouse matcha latte was interest because ive never had coffee foam with matcha. It has a very strong caffeine taste so if you dont really ljke coffee i wouldnt recommend it. They also have a cut out of wang yibo. When we were trying to order the kiosk only had chinese and we were trying to ask if there was an english option but there was no response so we ended up ordering with the person at the counter. This person was probably hard of hearing. Asked if we wantef regular, half or no sugar and we said regular and their response was you said half right? Then when our drink came out it was only a matcha latte instead of moouse matcha latte. Then said you said matcha latte. This persons coworker also said i did hear moouse and they gave attitude and insistent i said matcha latte only. Good thing they fixed it still. But that persons attitude knocked some stars off to 2 and wang yibo brought it back to 3. Oh yeah the kiosk did revert to english afterwards. So there is an english option.

3.5 stars. Haven't been here in a long time. Used to come more often when they first open. Kinda remember now...their drinks were inconsistent. They seem to have seasonal and new drinks all the time. My old favorites were Coco Cotti & the Brown Sugar Oat Latte. DRINKS: Pandan Coco Latte 4.25/5 Maybe my new go to. Kinda like it. Cloud Mousse Matcha Latte 3.5/5 Wanted to like it more, but it's okay/decent. Had to concoct my own - added some of my other drink - Iced Americano to it, half n half, agave and ice to make it to my liking. Strawberry Crema Latte 3.5/5 It sounded good, but it was alright. Drinkable. Good enough to order once in a long while if I'm feeling it. Apricot Jasmine Iced Tea 3/5 Sea Salt Caramel Latte 3/5 Iced Americano 2.5/5 It's alright. A bit too bitter & acidic for my liking. Have to say the South Koreans do it better. They really know how to make good Iced Americano. Only started drinking Iced Americano after visiting S. Korea cuz it's every where over there. Every brand/coffee shop has their own variation. Probably should try American coffee chain or independent coffee shops here in the US to compare. So far, only tried this one - Chinese version of Iced Americano, which is so-so imo.

Ordering processing was quick and easy through the kiosk. Was able to get my order quickly and get out. The interior is very nice and cozy, so it would be a great place to hang out with friends. The drink was decent for the price. Nothing stands out but I was able to look at their menu.. it is the first time where I saw that they have juices/sparkling juices with espresso shot.. I will be coming back to try this,

Ordered an Apricot Jasmine Iced Tea through their mobile 99 cent promo. There were prominent apricot notes in here as well as some actual apricot cubes cut into this drink. This is good at half sugar level and is a refreshing summer drink to have or for those looking for something fruity. Can't go wrong, this iced tea is recommendable. The regular price seems to match other tea shops so getting up there in price a bit but worth it when it's discounted. The tea shop is quite modern with a wall bench of plush seats and sort of some space to take photos. There appear to be a few banners that show some of their celebrity endorsements too. Staff seem really busy with managing the orders that keep piling up. This location is part of a large plaza and there is parking underground in lower floors, parking spaces are alright but can be tight getting in and out of the garage.

Mango pomelo drink is so good and refreshing! Suvi is very kind and welcoming! Building is clean and very organized. I will come again!!
