    Hands down the best latte I've had in such a long time I'm so obsessed everything was so delicious. I had a chocolate croissant 10/10 flaky and perfect amount of chocolate. The mini tres leches is so good!!!! 20/10 Blueberry Pancake Latte 10/10 Early Grey Matcha was fire 10/10

    Honestly drinks are pretty good, but not like THE BEST I've ever had. Pretty satisfying to say the least :) I will say customer service is excellent and the boy and girl who helped us were very kind and helpful. They accidentally packed me the wrong cookie, and let me keep them after they noticed their mistake. Which allowed me to try some cookies i would have never gotten! Will go back for more

    The wait time was normal for a small truck with two workers. I was the 6th person to order and my drink came out in about 12 minutes. Yes it's no top chain coffee shop so there aren't 6 workers, so it was an acceptable 12 minutes. The drinks were good. Exactly what was said. My favorite was the tiramisu cold foam on the "Tira-miss-you" drink!

    This is a VERY popular mini-food-truck-type business. This trailer is conveniently parked daily on Badillo Street, directly in front of Covina Park. On my first visit, there were 10 people in line to order and/or awaiting their number to be called via the electronic buzzer they provide each customer. They offer many choices of drinks, and according to other customers in line, this is the only place they purchase their morning beverages, as they are delicious The two female employees working inside were friendly and polite. I ordered a Berry matcha, and it was DELICIOUS!! Well-made and made me want to return tomorrow to try something new.

    I waited about 15-20 minutes for my drink but truthfully, the flavor and the service more than made up for the wait. This isn't a stop-n-go shop after all, this isn't a Starbucks. This is a small business. The coffee truck is located next to Covina Park, so there's plenty of parking and space to wait. I really like that they have seasonal drinks, keeps customers like myself looking forward to new drinks every season. The employees are also very sweet. And the prices are some of the most affordable I've seen in the area. I paid $5-$6 for this latte.

    Fresh and delicious the chocolate croissant was hot, flaky, and nicely sweet. We got the mini berries tres leche which was not too sweet and just right. Very moist. Their matcha latte and The Teddy were nice and hot. Teddy had the right amount of sweetness to it. We came too early so the conchas weren't ready but we will be back another time to try them.

    Conchas, guava pastry, churro croissant, and teddy lattes

    Loved the decor and there was plenty of seating to wait for our order. I tried the teddy latte and a churro croissant. The croissant was amazing! So flaky and the churro flavor was spot on! I can't wait to try other menu items.

    Tiramasu americano since they sold out of cold brew! Super gross !

If you see this spot open, don't think...just walk in and order at the little kiosks. That part is self serve and super easy to do. I ordered my normal coffee beverage a cold brew and added sweet cold foam for $1 extra. When I tell you the foam changed my life I'm not even kidding! It's so worth it!!!!! This cold foam was so thick it could save your life if you fell down. If you had a leaky faucet at home, just order some cold foam and it'll stop that drip in its tracks. Like this cold foam can save on plastic and help the environment because it's so thick you don't even need a lid! I wish I could upload a video. Just go try it please. So good! It's such an unassuming little coffee spot next to a laundry place and Chuck E. Cheese in a shopping center that doesn't look like anything special. The interior is minimal with slashes of green plants, some of which are for sale. I haven't tried any of the other coffee drinks because I'm a creature of habit so cold brew is all I need. But if you're in the area, check this spot out! If you get to taste this magical brown elixir sent from the heavens with a touch of foam cloud goodness, you'll be so happy you did. Thank Ventana Coffee for making my afternoon the best ever!

I then let you know about the amount of ice in the cup and you just offered more milk. I did not want more milk and would've been satisfied with an apology and/or offering a remake or more like your employee offered. I ended up ordering another one with no ice since you only offered milk and I got the cup half full along with your attitude. YOU DID NOT OFFER A REFUND OR REFUND THE $6.50! The screenshot attached shows I PAID $6.50 NOT refunded $6.50! Please stop lying! Ordered the Horchata, 2 other refreshers and an apple juice. Paid $25 for all. The majority of the cup for the horchata was filled with ice to make it seem like you're getting a cup full of actual product. Was gone in like 3 sips! Went back to tell them after realizing how much ice was in the cup, and was offered milk and was told it's not going to taste like the horchata I had ordered it was only milk. I asked if they can make it like the horchata I ordered, I didn't want just plain milk. You would think after paying $25, they would be apologetic and offer to remake it, however, the "owner" Natalie didn't offer an apology for the disappointment or offer to remake it, she just offered more milk and said everything is "pre-measured" and continued to charge me for another one when I had asked for it to be made like the horchata because i didn't want plain milk. I ordered another one with no ice thinking I would get a full cup paid $6.50 and was given a cup half full. I couldn't believe it! That's more than a gallon of milk!! THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF! They should not be filling the cup 3/4 of ice and deceiving people! Natalie seemed upset that I was unhappy with this service with the attitude she was giving. People should know what they're actually getting and not be deceived by all the ice they put to make it look like you're getting more when you're not! Because of the lack of customer service that's the last time I go there! BUYERS BEWARE DON'T BE DECEIVED! I've attached a screenshot of the transaction and it was NOT a refund!

We parked in the structure behind the restaurant. On weekends, parking is free for an indefinite amount of time. When we entered, we were greeted by the friendly staff and got a table by the window. The space is bright and filled with calming green accents and plants. The menu is simple and well curated. I briefly read some of the reviews while at the restaurant and they didn't lie, the crispy pork belly is a must. We ordered the Chili Oil Toast which comes with pork belly and avocado. If you're into numbing spice and a lot of chili oil, this dish is definitely for you. My tolerance is pretty weak, but the flavor is amazing! The house-made bread was extra crispy and delicious, but the pork belly... you'll just need to try it for yourself! My favorite was the Breakfast Burrito. This item was healthy and easy to eat. The egg was fluffy, the avocado was fresh, the turkey bacon added the perfect amount of salt, and the sweet potato balanced the salt. For the drinks, the Spanish Latte (hot) was a clear winner. The Matcha Latte was equally great, but needed a bit more syrup, which they kindly provided on the side. Highly recommend checking this place out when they have live DJs too!

Honestly, it's the kind of spot where you feel completely comfortable striking up a conversation with the table next to you too. That's how welcoming the atmosphere is. Food-wise, we couldn't have asked for better. The pork belly was absolutely delicious, the sourdough bread was perfectly soft, and the potatoes were seasoned just right. I'm not usually a big coffee drinker, but their iced vanilla latte won me over. Add in the DJ playing chill background music and the overall friendly atmosphere, and you've got a spot that nails both the food and the experience. Highly recommend if you want a meal that feels like more than just a transaction!

It was my first time at San Fernando Coffee Company, and it won't be my last! They have great coffee, breakfast options, and an awesome team making it happen. I went on a Sunday around 11 am, absolutely needing a hot coffee and a breakfast burrito. They have both here, thankfully! I've always known they were here for a while, and I finally remembered I wanted to try it out. They were packed and had multiple customers inside, so I opted for using their digital kiosk so I can calmly browse their menu. I got a Hot Vanilla Latte and their Breakfast Burrito (Egg, cheddar, hash brown, bacon) for myself, and a BLTA (Bacon, tomato, greens, avocado) sandwich for my fiancé to-go. They have an awesome, well-thought-out menu. It's not too overloaded with options that I couldn't make up my mind (like me most of the time), and had everything for anyone who wanted a drink and a meal. Everything was ready in about 10 minutes. They also had comfy tables to the right of their entrance if we wanted to sit down and eat, or sit and wait for our pick-up order. Their breakfast burrito tasted great, I just wish it was just a smidge bigger for the price, especially since Azusa has a lot of huge burrito options for less of a wallet burn. Buuuuttt that may be because I spoil myself with huge burritos I can't finish when I want to treat myself. It still tasted great, though! Their take on the BLT was their BLTA with bacon, tomato, greens, and avocado, which I thought my fiancé would like, but he is much more of a classics guy and said he wished they made the classic bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich he wanted with mayo. Its a preference thing, and we just have to try other things here! I definitely want to come back here and try one of their lattes again with cold foam this time, and one of their waffles!
