I was out Mother's Day shopping and was craving a good coffee, so I decided to try a new spot. I'm very picky when it comes to coffee because some drinks can trigger my anxiety if they're too strong or bitter. The Yelp reviews were really high, so I figured I'd give it a shot and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint!The coffee was perfect: sweet, smooth, and not overpowering at all. It had just the right balance of flavor without being too heavy. The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.The ambiance was chill and relaxed, especially considering it's located near a play area. It made for a pleasant experience overall. My only downside is that there really isn't a sitting area to enjoy your drink and hang out for a while, which would have made the experience even better.Overall, I was very happy with my visit and will definitely be back for another coffee! read more

#191 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I had just finished my eye exam across the street and was in desperate need for caffeine, so I used my handy dandy Yelp account to search for clues, which led me here. (If you didn't recognize the Blues Clues reference, it was before your time). Located inside the mall, I took the stairs to the second floor and there it was. I spied with my little eye a corner stall with baristas brewing coffee and other craft drinks. (Another childhood reference). After checking out the menu, I ordered their Horchata latte and added horchata cold foam. The drink was pretty good, and satisfied both my caffeine needs and my sweet tooth cravings. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Mobar Coffee - Horchata latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montebello, California

I've been in the area often the past year but most notably in the Montebello Town Center to play Pokémon Go especially during the rainy or extremely hot days. I've seen Mobar Coffee every single time but just thought nothing of it while assuming it was one of those typical boring mall-esque spots. However, after a more thorough search, I saw some good reviews and great tasting items so we decided to try it out the next time we were in the area! We ordered their Cafe de Olla Cold Brew and Strawberry Horchata Cold Brew. The CBs itself were a-okay, nothing special but the cold foams were delicious! Our favorite drink was easily the strawberry horchata one. Service was nice and friendly. They were very efficient and our drinks came out fairly quickly. read more

I ordered the Cafe de Olla ($6.75 - medium - iced - regular milk). This is weak coffee. I continued to feel sleepy after its consumption. It's a harmless, boring drink. It tastes like powdery milk tea. I arrived at Mobar Coffee (Montebello) on Thursday (around 12:33PM). It's located inside the Montebello Mall (aka: "The Shops at Montebello"). This small business is on the 2nd floor. It's across Macy's, and it sits besides Kay Jewelers. Nearby parking is plentiful and simple. Staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Staff greeted me with a smile, and staff eagerly explained their menu's options. Staff appeared well-informed and diligent. I ordered the Cafe de Olla ($6.75). The drink was ready in three minutes. Fairly quick. As mentioned, the Cafe de Olla ($6.75 - medium - iced - regular milk) did not taste bad. It's just unmemorable. I'd compare its flavor to milk tea. It had a chill milk & powder taste with a weak caffeine kick. Unfortunately, this Cafe de Olla borders on the edge of bland. On ambiance, I appreciate the attempt by Mobar Coffee (Montebello). The location has six round tables labelled "Mobar." Surprisingly, these tables are near electrical outlets. There's about three electrical outlets for electronic devices by these tables which is a monumental achievement for a generic mall vendor. Mobar Coffee (Montebello) is also conveniently located beside the Kids Play Area which allows families to take a breather from their busy kiddos if searching for a light rest. The location is also relatively clean and well-ventilated since it's in a well-maintained mall. Overall, Mobar Coffee (Montebello) offers adequate drinks. Its drinks are fairly standard and affordable, but it's not remarkable. It's a possible option if meandering nearby. 4 out of 5 read more

Amazing coffee. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. We arrived early to the mall and decided to grab a coffee while I waited for the stores to open. I ordered the cafe de olla late and a strawberry lemonade. Both were perfectly made. Strawberry ke made is the perfect amount of sweet and refreshing. The cafe de olla late was smooth and creamy. Service was great and fast. It's a mall coffee shop so it's open space . No tables really but the mall has some. read more

Love this family owned business. First came across in Pico Rivera. No share on the big corporate coffee places but local, family owned and community centered makes the coffee even that much better. Try the Horchata Latte Iced. Great way to start your day. Luis is super helpful when learning about the process from start to finish of what going into the delicious product. read more

if you're going here i recommend not getting the matcha, it wasn't good, just stick to the coffee. i think the coffe is the better choice. The few times I gone the service seemed nice, but the last time I went the man wasn't as friendly. The ambiance is nice and clean! I recommend going just for specialty coffee and the right worker! read more

I've passed this place multiple times and I finally decided to come and I got a strawberry matcha, it was very sweet, tasted like vanilla and can hardly taste the matcha. Hardly tasted strawberry, it only has a couple dried strawberries on it and vanilla cold foam. Nothing strawberry matcha about it lol. The color of the matcha wasn't the best and the service was fine. I got a medium size and paid almost nine dollars for a drink that tasted bad. read more

Mobar Coffee - Strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montebello, California

This is a great alternative to get your coffee at the mall. Conviently located next to the child play place and shoe palace (formally Forever 21), my friend and I come to bring the kids to play and we always stop by getting a cup of coffee. They have their own menu but always bring out seasonal flavors. The only reason why I gave them a 4 instead of 5 is due to their changing rules that depends on the person. I used to be able to get a small iced seasonal drink but now they only sell it medium but the other day my friend was able to get a small. While I do like their coffee, sometimes a medium is too much. Also, depending on the day and time, the staff can be pleasant or stand offish. Other than two things, I would say this is a great place to come if you need a break from the chain coffee places. read more

Located on the second floor of the Montebello mall near forever 21, this place is a convenient coffee shop for on the go coffee while shopping since there is no seating here. The staff are nice and friendly and they made a few recommendations for my first time. I think this spot is a great alternative to Starbucks where they have the holiday speciality drinks but I would come here for high quality coffee. Parking: plenty of lot parking read more

Mobar Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montebello, California

I've been here a few times before when they were in El Sereno twice and once while in the montebello mall. Each time was cool, coffee is good. Today I decided to ask if they have any sugar free options, I've been trying to really limit my sugar intake and noticed my coffees usually contain a lot of sugar. A lot of coffee shops don't really have sugar free options or they only have sugar free caramel, which I'm not the biggest fan of. Today at Mobar coffee I was greeted by the nicest guy with a super cute baby, and he said they have 3 sugar free options. I decided to go with sugar free Hazelnut and added sugar free hazelnut cold foam !!! OMG 10/10 literally amazing coffee and I am very picky about my coffee. The customer service was 10/10 and I can not stop thinking about my coffee. Definitely coming back again read more

So there I was, just doing some innocent window shopping with my mom at the Montebello Town Center--minding my business, not looking for caffeine trouble--when BAM! I spotted a cute little coffee shop upstairs called Mobar. Naturally, I wandered in like a moth to a latte. I told the barista I wanted something that wouldn't send me into a sugar coma because, you know, I'm trying to make better life choices (or at least pretend to). She whipped up an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, two shots of espresso, and two pumps of sugar-free vanilla like she was reading my mind. (Sprinkle of cinnamon on top) It was smooth, not too sweet, and just the right amount of "I can handle my life now." Customer service? 10/10. I don't know if she was a barista or a caffeine fairy godmother, but I'll be back. Oh--and I just heard they opened a new spot inside Brewjeria in Pico Rivera? BET.... I'm already plotting my next "accidental" coffee run. read more

A little disappointed with my first experience. I love the seasons and LOVE seasonal drink and I was hoping to try their Strawberries and SCREAM shake because it mentioned "gummy " ... "GUMMY" eyeballs.. it did not have the gummy eyeballs I got 1 single tiny and hard eyeball.. it was really upsetting and very misleading ): I would not return because I am a little hesitant to be mislead again. The customer service was sky rocket awesome and they were very sweet and welcoming. I am just very disappointed with the misleading description read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting from San Diego last month, and I like to try Iced Mochas or signature espresso drinks from coffee places we don't have at home. The gentleman who helped us was truly friendly and nice to chat with. Their iced mochas are delicious, not overly sweet, and the perfect blend of chocolate and espresso flavor. We also got the pumpkin muffin and double chocolate chip muffin and shared half and half so we each could enjoy both. Great quality of pastries! The mall setting was spacious and not too busy the mid-week afternoon we were there. The coffee and snacks were a great pick-me-up to enjoy Magic of the Jack O' Lanterns later that evening. Thanks, Mobar! read more

Very cute. We'll run, well appointed. Efficient coffee shop. But my rating in coffee shops is based on one thing only: the taste of the coffee. I would say my cappuccino was made well, but the taste of the coffee was just below my expectations, but you should slather give it a try! read more

So, I've been looking for a coffee spot for my daily pick-up and I think I just found my spot! Nataly is a super star! She was super friendly and helpful and really attentive.

Unsuspectingly good coffee. Right in the mall, next to the kids play area on the 2nd floor, is this little coffee place. I appreciate the sugar free and decaf options. I got a sugar free decaf hazelnut latte, it was pretty good. Husband got a cold brew which he said is strong but doesn't taste too bitter. It's a tad pricey, but what isn't now a days. I recommend if you're looking for a caffeine boost while shopping. read more

We needed a coffee fix early in the morning and Yelped places we were close to and Mobar popped up as a top rated place. We are not from this area so we had a bit of trouble finding it (top floor of the Montebello Town Center). The mall wasn't open yet so we took a roundabout way to find this place. My daughter and I each had a White Chocolate Mocha Latte and even got an early bird special discount! We enjoyed our drinks and decided if we lived in this area, we'd certainly stop by frequently. Thanks Mobar! read more

Let me first start by sayings I'm so glad Montebello mall has another coffee shop besides Macys Starbucks. This place is upstairs next to the kids Playground. Amber was just amazing. She took my order and I love how she's so happy to service you and welcome you. She engaged in a little conversation. Just Great customer Service. Thank you, Amber. :). Ordered the Chai Latte and an oatmeal cookie. The cookie is soft and sweet and delicious. The chai latte (hot) was just as delicious. First time here and won't be my last. read more

Came to the mall to kill some time and me and my partner stopped to just get something to drink. We asked for a hot water to mostly heat up my baby's bottle because we forgot to bring some with us. The girl at the counter let us know that they only offered water bottles and didn't have a hot water dispenser. We said that it was okay and just ordered our drinks. Once we sat down to just rest a bit, the girl called us over and handed my bf hot water. I'm assuming she steamed the bottled water for us, so because she went above and beyond I just had to rate this place. This girl deserves recognition!! I love that that was my first experience here, I'd definitely come again. read more

I found Mobar Coffee through a Yelp search and was nearby so I decided to stop by to try. And I'm so glad I did. Their honey lavender latte is so good! And I highly recommend! The flavors are so balanced, I could taste each of the ingredients. The honey brings out the lavender and works so well with the espresso. I also got to talk to the owners and they were so nice and friendly. Their service is great! I used to come to the Montebello mall often so I'm glad that there is a great coffee place to come to now. Their space is clean and bright. I will definitely be back for another honey lavender latte or to try some of their other drinks. read more

A coffee shop in the mall! Located in between Kay's and Forever21. Right in front of a playground, so you'll hear the children screaming while you wait. Ordered a white chocolate mocha with oat milk. Plus tip, it was a little over $7. The cashier was really upbeat and positive. While I waited, I noticed that you can see everything they are doing behind the bar, and how clean everything was. They took their time making each drink, and called them out at the pickup corner. I did wait for a little bit until I realized that my drink was probably out but because of the group hovering the pickup station and children screaming, I didn't hear my number get called. It would have been nice if the number was called more than once, especially with the noise levels. Drink wise, I did not really taste the coffee. It was pretty sweet because of the Ghirardelli white chocolate sauce they used. I wouldn't go out of my way to get coffee from here, but they definitely have a prime location where mall shoppers can conveniently stop by for coffee. read more

Upon entering, there are cute books on bookshelfs, and a coffee bar inside. I was even surprised to see that they roasted their own beans here! (Coffee roaster is towards the back of the shop) The gentleman who worked there (I think his name was David) was super friendly. I got the honey lavender milk based drink with espresso and oat milk. I paid $6.25 which isn't bad since I got a large. I want to try their white chocolate mocha latte next! read more

been coming here for a while and the razzle dazzle is my fav! i recently though tried their new protein shake, i tried the abuelita one and it was kind of tasteless. but i let it melt a little and you can definitely taste the chocolate! another thing i loved were the cake pops. they were sooooo soft and not overly sweet i ate three one thing i will add is that i wish they'd disclose that some of their cake pops have candy inside. i gave the ice cream cake pop to my toddler and i didn't know it had m&ms in them. i just think its a choking hazard, especially for the littles. mind you, they're RIGHT NEXT TO the kids play area so its safe to assume parents will be buying them for their kids. it was a nice surprise but i was very thankful my kids didnt run off with them like they usually do. service is always great and the place looks clean and theres places to sit a couple steps away! read more

This may or may not be enforced as my friends left their cars parked and didn't check for the 2-3 hours we were at the shop. I ordered the regular sized iced honey lavender latte with oat milk. I think they also have almond milk as a milk alternative. It was really refreshing and the sweetness was not overpowering in total, I paid $5 and it was a pretty generous size. There's wifi (ask for password), a small, clean bathroom in the back (ask for the key) and outlets for charging. I que read more
