Clean variety place with many options very good and reasonably priced. Will continue to come back.

I stopped by to grab a rice ball, and yay they still had one crab (imitation crab) rice ball left. It was $4.97 and it was delicious!!!! It is a very nostalgic snack because this place has always sold rice balls, even before it was Joker's Koffee. I loved my rice ball and I would totally get another one! They also had salmon, spicy crab (with imitation crab), spicy salmon, and spicy tuna (I believe it's canned tuna not raw tuna). The lady at the register was really kind! I'm happy I got to support this local business! read more

Randomly passed by this coffee shop and I think this is the best coffee I have ever had in my life!! A sweet woman helped us decide what we wanted and made us the most delicious iced coffees perfect for a LA hot morning. Also such a cute and quiet place to hang out, study, or get work done. Thank you so much! **Support your local businesses** read more

Joker's Koffee - Vietnamese Coffee L - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I have been going to this Mom and pop shop since high school!!! For reference I'm now 24 :,) I've seen this establishment grow and remodel yet their rice balls remain the same. My favorite snack to get here when I'm in a quick need of onigiri is their teriyaki chicken rice balls. They have other flavors such as salmon, spicy tuna, spicy salmon..etc Maybe it's the nostalgia that hits whenever I eat these, but I enjoy them so much. The creamy flavor of the sauce along with the chicken all packed in a little onigiri, how can I resist??? While I know it's not the most unique life changing experience, the service and dedication of the owners and joy these little rice balls give me is something I had to share! A 626 staple!! Final Verdict: The rice(ball) is right!!! read more

First time here with a friend in the early morning. It's located in a plaza so the parking situation isn't too bad. Very spacious seating area, pretty comfortable and clean. There are many items to choose from the menu, some snacks and dessert on the side cooler sections. Make sure to order from the screen menu because the paper one is outdated with incorrect pricing. I was confused about being charged more. I got myself a Vietnamese coffee but it was not a full cup with light ice to be aware. The flavor is okay. Overall it was an okay experience, it's always nice to catch up with a friend no matter what. read more

A welcomed find in Arcadia, this mom and pop coffee cafe is a great place for excellent coffee and snacks. This spot has an open format with plenty of seating and good ambiance. The owner made excellent an Americano at the correct temperature. The coffee flavor was robust with a smooth finish. Some of the best coffee I've had in a while. The cream cheese bagel was also excellent. The bagels were fresh and perfectly toasted with just the right amount of cream cheese. I sat and enjoyed my snacks in the cafe, read a book, and had a good conversation with the owner. You can tell this place is run with heart. Highly recommend if you want to decolonize your taste buds and put your money back in the community! Come out and support this cafe that works with their heart. read more

Nice coffee shop with lots of drink, snack, and food options. They have a very spacious area and chill atmosphere. The owner is friendly and makes the drinks well. They have a wide variety of Asian snacks too which I have never seen at a coffee shop before. read more

It's no Joke when I say I can't cope without caffeine running down my throat.So if you're on the same boat take a note what I'm about to flow so ya know. If you're looking for coffee that's more of a frappe or a smoothie then it's a go. But as far as specialty coffee then it's a no. I did try their cold brew which was kinda rough for the tastebuds but I took hard sips. Their Vietnamese coffee seems to be a popular choice and that too was a rough rowdy drink. It really wasn't enjoyable but if you need a fix of caffeine then yeah kinda. Beware of the prices! For a small it was six ninety five but when she rang it up it came out to almost eight bucks! I was like Hey! The price?! She said the owner forgot to change the prices. Not cool man! So not cool. They place has really no coffee shop feel and it just smells like stale food for some reason and there wasn't anyone there with food. So the Jokes on me on this caffeinated fail. And that's my take on it, Peace out peeps. read more

Mom and pop coffee place with strong coffee. Service is fast and friendly. From the menu it seems they are vietnamese coffee place. They offer a selection of food as well. If you never had one before, this is a good place to try getting dropkicked by vietnamese coffee. read more

Ridiculously expensive. My pistachio oat milk latte didn't come with caffeine so I was charged $1.75 for the shot of espresso and $2.00 for oat milk. Total price of $11 for a latte. Taste was good but don't appreciate all the up charges. read more

I had their Vietnamese Coffee and seaweed wrapped rice ball. Incredible. The coffee was semi sweet and strong. The rice ball was delicious. So much so that we went back in to buy the last one in stock. The man behind the counter was very polite. I came in 1hr before closing, so I cannot speak on the ambiance. Overall, I was happy. I will be back. 100% read more

this place is insulting. i don't ever leave bad reviews but i just received my ubereats order and there is something wrong with every item. the cream cheese bagel has almost no cream cheese. it has maybe 10%? of what a normal cream cheese bagel at any other donut shop would come with. you can't even taste any cream cheese. not only that- if i ordered this at another donut shop AND paid for extra cream cheese it would still cost less than what i paid for here. lol the coffee is not filled to the top (80%) and the ice is extremely light. if they added two more full scoops of ice, the cup would be *almost* full. they couldn't just do... that? to make it appear more full? the bacon cheese croissant is severely lacking ingredients. i'm not surprised though after eating the bagel and seeing the coffee cup. would never come back or recommend this place to anyone read more

Still the best coffee in Arcadia! They now have many varieties of different fraps and iced drinks! Delicious! Lots of snacks, danishes and Asian delicacies. Very sweet lady is still here all day. Definitely recommend. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt like I had to share my experience here. This coffee shop was honestly one of the worst I've ever been to. I came in hoping to relax, maybe get some work done, but the entire visit left me upset and shaken. The coffee itself was terrible--bitter, burnt, and almost undrinkable. I tried to be polite and asked if they could remake it, but the staff member just gave me attitude, rolled their eyes, and made me feel like I was the problem. I've worked in customer service before, so I understand that everyone has bad days, but this went beyond that. They were flat-out unfriendly and dismissive. What hurt the most was how uncomfortable they made me feel for even being there. I left without finishing my drink and actually cried outside because of how humiliating the interaction was. No customer should ever feel that way, especially in a place that's supposed to be welcoming and calm. I really hope the management takes this seriously and treats people with a little more kindness in the future. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless things change drastically. read more

Was curious about this place for the longest and I finally stopped by. I came this morning to try their Vietnamese coffee (M). I noticed that their menu has latte drinks and blended lattes (basically fraps). I'm not a fan of blended drinks in the morning but the flavors listed were interesting. I got my coffee and it was underfilled. There was a half inch gap from the top. The drink was fine and service was good. The Viet coffee wasn't made the traditional way so the flavor of the milk tasted different. Would return again to try other drinks. read more

The lady owner was helpful with my coffee order and let me use my own cup (gotta save the earth, right?) Extensive food menu and space to sit down. If you didn't know, even Sbux let's you bring your own mug...10c off. Try it and feel good about helping create less waste. I can't say I loved the coffee, but for all of the above reasons, I give this indy store my vote. read more

Delicious food with fun frappe options! The lady was very sweet and my order was ready very quickly! It is a nice little coffee shop near the park- super convenient if you plan to do a picnic! read more

Stopped here randomly. The gentleman taking my order was extremely nice. I ordered a dirty matcha with soy milk and it was BOMB. So good. Also got an egg tart, delicious. I dont live here but when I come I'll be coming back. P.s I saw that they use groundwork coffee and that is bonus for me. Love that coffee read more

Service and coffee was so sweet!! The lady helping at the counter was truly attentive and helpful.

I like this place a lot. One of the few places you can get a fresh rice ball, Shrimp chips and croissants! The guy behind the counter is pretty nice too! Not the most modern shop decor-wise, but it's got a humble charm. read more

This place is a joke just like it says in it's name. I went in for a Vietnamese coffee and they made it with powder milk. What kind of coffee is that?!?!? That is a joke. Vietnamese coffee is condensed milk and Vietnamese coffee with ice but powder milk?!?! They lost a customer! When I asked nicely to fix it because it tasted like water, the cashier lady got upset and said it's the last time she will fix it for me and I made it come true because I never went back after. read more

Repeat customer here ! I absolutely love this place for a quick meal. I crave it from time to time. I recommend getting the chicken teriyaki / beef combo plate. It's not a Gourmet dish but it definitely hits the spot! - employees are friendly - place is clean - plenty of parking - great for sweets too read more

Joker's Koffee - Teriyaki chicken and beef combo plate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I came here for a quick snack, and I was hoping to find some good options here. When I walked in, I noticed that this place is spacious, and has plenty of seating. This would be great to come with a large group of friends after school or on a nice evening. There were several things for sale in their cooling units, but most snacks or drinks didn't really appeal to me. I decided to get an apple turnover, and passed on the coffee as I've already had enough that day. I got the turnover heated, and headed back to my car after checking out. The turnover was delicious, and did not sit to heavy with me. In fact, it gave me a bit of energy without giving me much of a sugar crash. The staff here was friendly, and they keep this place clean. I don't know if I'd be back here, due to it being far away from home. But it's an alright option in the Arcadia area. read more

Came back here again after a horrible experience, this place still keeps scamming people and selling overpriced junk products. I stop by with my friends just because this is the only place around the high school. Can't believe after so many years they still here with even higher prices read more

I do not recommend coming here. Staff and service are terrible and rude. I needed a place to work and sit (this was during after school hours after Arcadia High has been released, many students come here to this plaza to grab a bite), the drink shop next door was packed, so I came here instead. They have an odd policy, while I understand not allowing non customers to come in and sit unless they made a purchase. They told me before I sat down I must make a purchase first. I did do that, I bought something from them and then I brought a drink in from next door, they kicked me out, extremely rudely. I find this really frustrating and upsetting, especially with pretty much everything they have in their store is all overpriced. Overpriced for a mediocre quality. They also sell snacks at a high price to attempt to cash grab at the students of AHS. (A bag of chips being over 5 dollars) Their food is overpriced and bland, poor quality of ingredients, as well as the drinks. Their drinks are all made with different powders, which all can be seen with canisters behind the counter, labeled with the different powders. Their drinks tend to be small and really sweet too. Also considering the students that go around here, students don't always have this much money to purchase things and just need somewhere to sit. I feel like their prices and their "policy" is extremely restricting and unwelcoming, especially the staff always being rude and unfriendly. Because of these reasons, I no longer come here and refuse to ever step in. Their ambiance is alright however but that's only if you can experience it without being kicked out, or if you have money to even sit here. If you're really looking for a nice drink, I suggest checking out Tea Brick next door on the left instead, and try their drinks and better quality food. Staff is also are very friendly and helpful. read more

Don't call yourself a coffee shop if it is a 15 minute wait for black drip coffee. The worse possible experience. Maybe it is good for the other stuff, but a drip coffee? read more

Been coming here for over 5 years. The owner and her husband are super nice and the rice balls are amazing! Big size & super fresh. I always crave these when trying other rice balls, nothing compares. For drinks, the Vietnamese ice coffee & Passion Fruit tea (with little sweetener) are my favorites. The Chinese long Donut and Taro Pudding are also great if you are in the mood for sweets. read more

10/10 love the ongiri here it's tasty fresh and maybe i'm a little bias been coming here since high school the owners always have treated me well they have plenty from hot food to snacks to drinks bottled/to be made boba or lemonade read more

This is a local gem. The owners are the most hardworking friendliest faces around. They use Groundwork Organic Coffee. Everything else they create practically from scratch. The hidden ingredient in here is love, and you can taste that. The ambience is super-relaxing; casual and friendly. The almond croissants are HUGE. Did I mention they make fresh chicken salads as well? Not only that ; they created an APPLE croissant! It was huge! Not too sugary or greasy! Flaky and layered enough to rival the French! I also ordered a cappuccino and lavender milk tea with Boba. Cappuccino was dreamy; lavender milk tea was fresh and neither was acidic. Will be back soon... read more

Repeat customer in DoorDash and in person. You wouldn't expect it, but along with a whole family of products of Asian culture, they have HAM SANDWICHES!! Served up on a warm 6" bun, lettuce tomato onion cheese, better than ANY sandwich shop. Subway, Togos, pale in comparison! read more

SCAMMERS! do not come here. i don't know if they are racist or they spot out who looks weak but one of the ladies took my $10 dollar bill and only gave me $2 dollar change back. at the time i was so sleepy i thought i gave her a 5 dollar bill then realized i gave her TEN DOLLARS. of course after she took my money she walked off super quick and wanted to hide in the back for me to go away. don't come here unless you want to lose your money. read more

i love coming here before work, reasonably priced and great service. the quality of the coffee is amazing, the owners are always so sweet! make sure you tip the baristas i recommend this place to study as well! read more
