This place is low key and deserves more business! A flag on the sidewalk or something that gets people's attention as they drive by on rosemead. I've been here twice so far in the morning. Had the breakfast burrito and iced coffee both times. Girlfriend had the sandwich and hot coffee. Both good as well! The ingredients taste fresh and the people are really nice! Small little quaint place and really inviting. I need to try their cake one day. I live close by so I will be going more often! read more

This one is tough. It is a bakery with desserts like eclairs and cake and cheesecake. I ordered a cream puff, my friend ordered cheesecake and a sweet cream cheese muffin. I'm sorry to report that the sweets were not great. Desserts looked better than they tasted. However, we also ordered a breakfast burrito and a breakfast sandwich which were delicious. The ingredients were fresh and they were generously prepared. The green salsa for the burrito was great! read more

I was looking for a local breakfast spot and wanted to try somewhere different, so I decided to check this place out after seeing that it had pretty good reviews. It's a very small café located in Pico Rivera inside a shopping center, which makes parking really easy and accessible. The inside is very fresh, clean, and nicely updated. When you walk in, the display of cakes and desserts immediately catches your eye, they look delicious and definitely tempting while you're sitting down for breakfast. For breakfast, we ordered a short stack of pancakes, the breakfast combo, and an avocado toast. Everything was very much like a traditional breakfast and tasted good overall, no complaints. I especially liked the avocado toast. Every place seems to have its own variation, and this one had a slight salsa flavor to it, which was actually really good and a nice twist. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. I would definitely come back again and would love to try some of their desserts next time. read more

This little spot has been popping up when I have searched for different local coffee spots to try. Finally decided to pop in with the family this weekend. The place is pretty small, but the tables were available. Service was great. We were acknowledged as soon as we walked in despite there being a few people being attended. I ordered iced horchata latte and my husband got the Nutella latte. Sandwiches, I shared with my son, he chose tuna, and husband went with the pesto. Drinks were delicious, and so were the sandwiches. We ordered a few desserts to go and those too were delicious. Definitely regret not going sooner. read more

Was having breakfast at Salsa and grabbed a horchata Latte on our way out. The hubby got a chocolate cheesecake. Both were amazingly tasty. The service was friendly and they shared a little about their story when asked how long they had been there. Family owned and freshly cooked items. I knew instantly we would be back. We browsed the menu and the very next morning I sent my hubby back to get me the Horchata Latte and a breakfast sandwich!! Delicious it was more than what I expected. Ingredients were fresh and the sandwich was so uniquely tasting. It came with a side of pickles, jalapeños, and potato salad. Next will be the Tuna. If you haven't tried it's a must. Wishing this family business all the best and much success. Thank you for the delicious food and kind service read more

Tried this spot after seeing it had good reviews. Not super impressed. I had the avocado toast and my daughter had the French toast. She got a kids drink and I got an horchatta latte. The avocado toast was good, but I asked for no cheese and didn't know that it came with crema since it was not on the description. If I had known, I would have told them no crema. It was packed with onions too. Overall it was good. The horchatta latte; however, was not great. Had no flavor and the coffee was overpowering the drink. My daughter loved the French toast. Small spot with only three tables that give little room for people to be comfortable sitting next to each other. It has a small, local feel to it. Service was friendly, but they forgot our water and we had to ask them for it. They bring the food to the table. read more

Marin Cafe is a small place but very clean and cute. The Owner was very cool and gave great service. I had the Best breakfast burrito in Pico RiveEggs, Bacon and hash browns. They do come with ham and cheese but I didn't want it with those items. Very accommodating. I also had the "strawberry one bite" pastry. It was very delicious. I will be back to try cream puffs and another breakfast burrito read more

So far I only tried the bread pastry. Tasted like stale hot dog bun, cream was just ok, and fruit is old. Besides the oranges, the fruit displayed on the cake looks old too. We had to make an extra trip to the market to replaced everything with fresh fruit. Sincerely hoping the cake is decent, if not then I have no idea how this place has a 4.7 rating. I will update once I try the cake. Service was friendly so two stars. Update: If you're looking for a moist and tasty cake, this is not it. Highly not recommended. Would never ever come back. Thank God we had a backup cheesecake from somewhere else. read more

We ordered a slice of cake, a breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich on sourdough bread. The breakfast was hot and fresh! I loved that, it was about $30 for everything. The burrito came with a salsa, it wasn't too spicy. The sandwich had honey mustard I believe but it was good. Both were very filling and the cake was so so good! It was definitely made with fresh blueberries. The woman who took our order was kind as well. There's 3 tables in there but the place is pretty small like a cafe. read more

A cute coffee and pastry shop with great service, came by for a cup of coffee and ended up ordering their waffles and tuna sandwich. The lady at the counter recommended their horchata coffee and chocolate abuelita, I'll say their chocolate abuelita was fantastic. The horchata coffee needed a bit more flavor. The French toast were fluffy and tasty I would recommend trying them. Many folks were coming in to pick up care orders, so next time I come I'll give it a try. Parking is a. Bit challenging as it's shared with several other businesses. read more

Went to this place for a coffee meeting and lo and behold I discovered a gem. Everything appears to be done fresh. Love their iced coffee along with their very fresh pastries. I love them all but I do have a favorite. The strawberry cake...Omg! My fave. I highly recommend this cafe. From fresh food to warm n and friendly service, this is where I would go. Cute date spot as well. read more

I came here on a Thursday and the place was near empty. It's a small hole in the wall but the food and service makes up for it. I was greeted immediately. The host was extremely kind and helpful. I ordered the French toast and Horchata latte. The toast was soft and moist and I love that they lightly sprinkled powdered sugar on top. Especially since I had syrup on the side. The strawberries were fresh and not too sweet. The latte was my favorite. I had to wait for it to cool down. I didn't want to burn myself. The horchata flavor was not overpowering. I liked that it was not overly sweet. I loved their playlist. Old school r & b, 80s. I would come back here again. read more

Last minute search for a breakfast/brunch type spot and found Marin Cafe. It's located in an area off of Rosmead that shares a small parking lot with Zapien's Salsa Grill. It is a small lot but there's parking on the other side. I went while it was raining in the morning around 9 so it was pretty empty. The cafe is a small shop with 3 four-seater tables so not good for huge groups. But the decor was really cute and cozy. A mix of cafe and small bakery. Love the painted walls with the cake and bakery items painted on. There was a large display case of various bakery good from conchas, to croissants, to cakes and cake slices. Everything looked so good. Brisa (I hope I didn't spell her name incorrectly, apologies!) was our barista and she was lovely. Very friendly and let us take our time, she answered my bf's questions about the food. We chatted here and there and then placed our orders with her. She kept us updated on our food as they made the wrong sandwich for me and needed to remake it which was no problem and appreciated. The food was delicious! We ordered a concha, with an Abuelita hot latte, a mocha hot latte, breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. Recommend the Abuelita hot latte for sure, perfect on a rainy cold day. The chocolatey spice from the Abuelita was so good with the espresso, the mocha was great as well great blend of chocolate and coffee. Now the breakfast sandwich was bomb, presentation and taste were great. Eggs were hot and fluffy, bacon crispy, with ham, and refreshing tomato avocado and lettuce with a honey mustard type sauce. It also came with a side of potato salad, pickles and banana peppers. The potato salad is EXACTLY how I like it, not mayonnaise-y and sweet. Brekfast burrito was nice and filling too, bf said he'd definitely add bacon next time as mine was crispy in my sandwich hash browns were crispy and the creamy lime cilantro sauce was so good with it. I also ordered a slice of the mocha tres leches cake...so good not overly sweet and mocha wasn't too strong. The cake was overly saturated with milk which I would've like but it had the right amount of moistness so not to make it soggy. All in all definitely reccomend this little gem of a cafe. Owners and staff are all friendly and the food and drinknwere fantastic. Definitely coming back for more cake! read more

Welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and great service. Highly recommend!

Cake was mediocre and service was a little rude. Idk if I would go out of my way to go back again.

The owners and the people who worked here could not have been nicer. They were super helpful when my order came out incorrect and they fixed it in a heartbeat. Their "House Ice Coffee" tastes exactly like Coffee Ice Cream. It's delicious. Solid breakfast burrito (get it with pico de gallo and avocado) and even better service! If you are in the area this is one of the best neighborhood small businesses. Oh and the decorations are mostly gifts from customers. That shows the love from the community and it is well deserved. read more

Marin Cafe makes delicious cakes! Specifically, their tres leches is my go-to standard cake if I need to pick something up for a special occasion. It's moist and not too sweet. I've also had the mocha tres leches and lemon shortcake and feel the same about both. They also sell cheese rolls at a good price. I like Porto's more but at this price, I can't complain. I wish they had been able to stay in Montebello but at least this Pico Rivera location isn't too far from their old one! read more

One thing made me go there: tres leches cake. My baby was even drooling when he looked into the cake display. They have mocha tres leches, strawberry tres leches, blueberry tres leches, and more! We also couldn't resist getting their $5 deal on six of their cheese and guava cheese pastries. We opted for half and half so we were able to get three of each to try. I saw many reviews remark how the rolls remind them of Porto's and I can agree. I think these have their own spin as the pastry is crispy and buttery with a different amount of filling that is very pleasing to the tongue. The sugar sprinkled on top is generous so I feel they're sweeter than the ones at Porto's--at least when it comes to the guava pastry. The guava paste filling is stronger and very fragrant as well--so I can see guava lovers preferring this. I was greeted promptly and was pleased to see patrons were able to sit in there. They have two small tables by the window, nice music, bright inviting lights, and good music. The only thing I wished was when I asked for a happy birthday message to be written was that I was asked for a name to write down. The server took the cake back right away and quickly scrawled an expert chocolate 'Happy Birthday!' on it though. I forgot to get a picture of just the cake but guaranteed it was very cute and pretty with yummy clean and unglazed fruits on top (which we prefer). I didn't wait long and everything was delicious! read more
