I come here when my kiddos have their music lessons. It's such a cute little coffee shop in downtown La Verne. Very cozy. I had the mango matcha and the cheese danish. Which were both so good. I will continue to come here with my family and friends!!! Next time I will try the other savory selections they have. read more

Nambah Coffee has become my go-to spot whenever I need to get some work done. It has a true neighborhood feel, with lots of familiar faces, regulars, and a welcoming community atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in for a couple hours. The coffee is consistently excellent, and while there's almost always a long line, it's a testament to how popular the place is. There's plenty of outdoor patio seating, and on weekends they often host local vendors selling baked goods and handmade goods, which adds to the charm. What really sets Nambah apart, though, are the owners. They're incredibly friendly, genuinely care about their customers, and have built a coffee shop that feels like a gathering place rather than just somewhere to grab a drink. If you're looking for great coffee and a strong sense of community, it's hard to beat. read more

The coffee shop ambiance might be cute, however, their service is extremely slow and inefficient. While I was in line, I ordered online and escaped the longgggg line that was almost towards the door. And this is while students are not even in session at ULV... When this coffee shop was Cactus Coffee, the management and efficiency was way better!!! Such a shame. Would not vote this shop for "Best coffee" read more

I used to frequent this coffee shop while attending the university across the street several years ago. Conveniently located, it offers a great study space and, of course the necessary fuel to survive. It has since changed names and possibly owners, but it's still just as great as I remember. Tasty coffee and a fun vibe. I recently stopped by and was reminded how much I love the shop's décor, especially the exposed brick wall. The place has a lot of character, and the staff member who took my order was super chill. They also have a cute patio overlooking the university, and I love that they serve beer and wine too. Another thing that makes them stand out is the variety of events they host, like karaoke nights and yoga classes. read more

I love coming here and getting the Snickerdoodle Iced Latte, bonus points if I order it with oat milk lol. It's such a cozy little coffee shop tucked within downtown La Verne, and definitely worth stopping by!! And if I'm not getting the Snickerdoodle, my other go-to is the Heartthrob Iced Latte, which is another super solid choice If you want to avoid lines and the crowds that tend to fill up the shop, I'd recommend coming in earlier in the day. Sometimes the line gets pretty long and the wait can be a bit much. It can also get tricky finding a seat inside when it's busy, though you might have better luck outside if you don't mind sitting outdoors lol Overall, I really appreciate how nice the staff usually is :) read more

I tried Nambah Coffee for the first time and I honestly love the vibe here. It's such a cute spot to hang out. You can tell they really put thought into the decor. Their coffee is so good! We loved everything we tried. Definitely one of those places you keep thinking about and want to come back to. They also host monthly events, which makes it feel more like a community spot than just a coffee shop. I plan to come for their Pilates & matcha!! If you want to see what it looks like, I posted a video on TikTok @monicaerikaa or @monicascozycravings on Insta read more

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review Brown Coconut (Seasonal): 6.8/10 You can definitely taste the coconut. On the milkier side, but you can still taste the espresso. It wasn't artificially over sweet which was great. My only qualm is the frickin price for the size. $8.25 for a 12oz?? Like bruh. I get it. It's across a campus in a nice area, but wtf. Drink was good, but no way in hell is it worth $8.25. Y'all can fight me on that idgaF. Service: 9/10 Everyone seems really friendly! The cashier was very nice and helped out with any drink corrections customers had. Ambiance: 6.5/10 So so crowded and mucho mucho cramped. Not the best study spot. I was lucky to nab a table next to an outlet, but not all are lucky. The tables inside are super super close to each other. Not my favorite. There are tables in the hallway, but no outlets. Street parking was easy to find because it was a Sunday, but as it got later in the day, parking started to fill up. TDLR: Expensive drinks. Okay study space. Tables are super close to each other and not many outlets. Place definitely gets super busy. Street parking only. read more

Love the coffee & the vibes here. I am obsessed with the brown coconut espresso it is delicious! Staff here is also very friendly!

Nambah Coffee has such friendly staff and a really cute space that works well for both socializing and getting some work done. I thought it was interesting (and kind of fun!) that they double as a cafe with wine and beer!! There's seating both inside and outside! They have overflow seating in the lobby, which is nice & seems like it doubles into a Darty (day party) space on select Saturdays! As a study spot, only the indoor section had outlets, which made working a little tricky (unless you found a table inside) & the music inside was also a bit loud for my taste, but sitting in the lobby was perfect and much more comfortable! On the plus side, the WiFi was fast and stable, which is always appreciated. We ordered the brown sugar coconut matcha and the pandan matcha, and both were great! The coffee cake tasted good but was a little dry for my liking. While there isn't a dedicated parking lot, there's 90-minute and 3-hour street parking nearby, which was manageable. Overall, a nice spot with good drinks and a fun vibe! read more

Cute coffee spot, plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor patio with 2 large counter height tables/stools and perimeter seating. On a Sunday there's plenty of street parking or park in a paid lot across the street. Accessible parking in front too. There's usually a long line to the door but moves quickly. Service is quick and friendly. Some pastries for sale as well. The coffee and matcha are great. There are basics as well as flavored specialties, all delicious. I've been here to work as well as to catch up with friends and it's a great atmosphere for both. Bathrooms are outside of the shop but not outdoors. There's a code located inside. Love this spot! read more

I really love their pandan Matcha because you can taste their pandan, so good. I asked for less sweet because the barista told me that the drink itself is pretty sweet and I'm glad I adjusted my sweetness. they were pretty crowded for Sunday late afternoon, but I managed to find seats. Locate at near University of Laverne this is a good study spot and chill weekdays and weekends. read more

Nambah Coffee - Pandan matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Verne, California

Nambah has some of the best coffee in the area. From the moment you enter, you can feel a sense of community. All of the baristas are super kind. They also sell records and have live music events which are amazing. If you're not feeling coffee, they also have matcha, tea, even beer & wine! My go-to coffee shop whenever I want to go out. read more

This place is super cute and has such a calm atmosphere! My friend took me here to try it out and I got hooked on their Pandan Matcha. It was sweet, but not overly sweet, just the way I like it. The matcha itself was very silky and smooth, not clumpy or coarse. The staff were lovely! Loved the vibes the workers gave off and helped me at the register when I had questions about sweetness levels! I will definitely be coming back! Maybe to try new items :P :-)) read more

Nambah Coffee - Pandan Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Verne, California

Let the cafe hopping continue. Parking: There's free street parking if you can find any. I parked in the private lot next to it. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with indoor and outdoor seating. It's pretty quiet, so it's a great spot to get a study session in. We visited on a late Saturday afternoon, and it was busy. Almost every table was filled, and there was a consistent line. Service: There were only two workers. The cashier that rung us up was nice and efficient. Throughput took a little over 5 min, which is pretty quick considering how busy it was. Drinks & pastries: 1) Snickerdoodle Latte - This contained brown sugar, vanilla, real butter, cinnamon, espresso, and milk. It sounds overwhelmingly sweet, but honestly the only thing I really tasted was cinnamon. Overall, I thought this drink was enjoyable especially for those who prefer their lattes on the sweeter end. 2) Heartthrob - This contained vanilla, white chocolate, cinnamon, espresso, and milk. The flavors mixed really well together. Nothing really overpowered each other. Again, this drink is enjoyable for those who like sweeter lattes. 3) Mango Matcha - This contained mango nectar, vanilla, cream, and ceremonial matcha. I thought the matcha part was okay. You can't really taste the matcha after mixing it. The mango was definitely overpowering. 4) Chocolate chip scone - This tasted as good as it looks. It's not too sweet, but it does get overwhelming. I recommend eating some and saving the rest for later. 5) Chocolate chip cookie - I looove cookies! Couldn't resist trying this too. The edges and middle sections were soft. There's a generous amount of chocolate chips, but it's not overly sweet! Pricing: Average prices for a coffee shop nowadays. We enjoyed their drinks and pastries. I'd love to come back and try their offerings and hopefully sit and enjoy the ambiance, if it isn't too busy. read more

Nambah is a solid spot for matcha and the quality is very consistent. Their strawberry matcha is a reliable choice and the staff is always kind. The area gets very busy on the weekends, so be prepared to spend some time looking for parking. The shop itself is fairly small and usually pretty packed. If you are looking for a place to sit and study, I wouldn't recommend it since the space is cramped when they have their usual level of business. It is a good place to grab a drink and go. read more

Very very cute spot. Beautiful lighting and outdoor area is relatively spacious. Staff and Service is extremely inviting and friendly. The Matcha is a bit too light for my own liking but for the ambience this place is definitely worth the price. A very quaint spot to meet up your friends or just work! They have events on Saturdays too so it makes it even more fun since the whole area has many nice eateries. read more

We stopped by Nambah Coffee a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday morning before heading to the farmers market, and it was such a great start to the day. We got there around 9 am, and there was a bit of a line already. Busy but not chaotic. I ordered the pandan matcha and my husband got the snickerdoodle latte. Both were excellent. You could actually taste the pandan in the matcha and it was subtle enough that it didn't overpower it. My husband's snickerdoodle latte was good as well. Warm, cinnamon-y, and just the right level of sweet. Parking is street parking, but we had no trouble finding a spot nearby pretty quickly. read more

This place is cozy. It has sofas, chairs and dining tables along with an outside patio. They make the best matcha in my opinion. I always order mine unsweetened or lightly sweetened with almond milk. I have yet to be able to enjoy a matcha ordered like this anywhere without it tasting like dirt but their's does not. Their customer service is always great. I have never had a bad experience at this place. Be prepared to stand in a long line though - that's a good sign. That means their product and service is good. The line moves pretty quickly. read more

Nambah is an Indonesian word that means to add, to gain, to give. That said let's begin this review. Nambah Coffee is a cute and charming lil coffee shop located in heart of Old Town La Verne. Its interior atmosphere was very cozy and relaxing with great chillhop music; popular hangout spot of college students at Univ of La Verne and a perfect place to chill catch up with friends or fellow coffee lover on a hot day. Indoor and outdoor seats were very comfortable. Interior design and layout were well planned; the large exposed brick wall adds depth to the coffee shop's personality. Nambah has a modest coffee menu and pastry items. Moreover, they sell merch and coffee bags as well. I ordered a Nitro Cold Brew. It was smooth and prefect thirst quencher on a very hot afternoon. Service was spot on. Staff were very assiduous, warm and competent. Prices were fair and competitive. Plenty of street parking. Overall, it's a really cool coffee shop. And I had a lovely experience and enjoyed my cold drink. read more

Really nice service. Chai and Avo toast were decent but personally not worth the price. A little too watered down on the chai. Avo toast just lacked flavor & was drowned in arugula; almost like I was eating a salad. The place is really cute and calm. Workers are really kind just slightly disappointed in the actual food/drink. Still good just not my personal favorite. read more

Nambah Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Verne, California

A beautiful coffee shop in La Verne with some patio seating and some indoor seating. There is parking available that is free for 2 hours. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the Matcha Calamansi and ooowhee did that get me alert! On a hot day, I was thirsty and drank it fast so the next hour, I felt some jitters. Warned myself of my caffeine tolerance is lower than before. The drink itself was really delicious and refreshing! I would definitely order again, just sip slower. I did try to get an hours worth of work there and I will say the internet is very spotty. I spent majority of the time getting laggy videos to load or getting signed on and off so I would recommend anything that needs a strong wifi. All tables were filled when I was there so could be a # of users problem, but something to be aware of! Will definitely be returning for a drink when I'm in the area! read more

A charming coffee shop located at a shared-space shopping plaza. A classic-mixed with modern interior design and smooth beat music playing softly in the background. This place has ample seating for those wanting to sit and sip their coffee bitg inside and outside. The staff is friendly and fast with their service, even during rush hour. I ordered the Snickerdoodle latte with it's brown sugar, vanilla, and real butter. It was rich, smooth, creamy and not too sweet. read more

Nambah, has to be the best local cafe in La Verne and surrounding area. Always consistent, always good, and the staff are always friendly that greet you with a smile. I prefer to come here when I'm in the area for a simple Americano, my litmus test of coffee temp and taste. Every brew is always delicious and flavorful. A recent recommendation by one of staff to try was an "Aerocano" which means airing the Americano just slightly to bring out those coffee oils to the top. If you like Americanos, try this once, you won't be disappointed. Great vibe at nambah and this place is a must. The only thing I will say is the line can be a little long, and there have been times where I've waited at least 15 minutes. However, once ordered, your drink is served fairly quick, and for that reason I give them a 4.5. read more

Adorable Spot with Great Vibes! After searching for a matcha drink in Pomona post-Pilates, I stumbled across this cute coffee spot and decided to check it out. First impression: absolutely adorable! The décor inside and out has such a cozy, welcoming vibe, totally my kind of place. I ordered the strawberry matcha, and it was beautifully made. A little on the sweet side for my personal taste, but still enjoyable. I'm definitely excited to come back and try their coffee next time! Service also friendly. A great little find for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy a well-made drink in a super cozy atmosphere. read more

Namba Cafe never disappoints! I came here with my friend to enjoy a nice early breakfast. I ordered the lavender latte for the second time and it's absolutely amazing, easily one of my favorites. This time, I also tried their almond croissant, which was warm, rich, and surprisingly fluffy. A perfect pairing with my latte. My friend ordered an avocado toast and that's definitely on my list for next time. The service is always great and the staff is consistently kind and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and satisfying cafe experience. P.s it's also a great spot to relax and get some work done with indoor & outdoor seating read more

We stumbled upon this cute cafe randomly since we were looking for a place that was open on New Year Day. Props to them on opening on a holiday and it was nice to see everyone waiting so patiently since there was only two workers! I ordered a hot honey lavender espresso and it was delicious! We also tried the breakfast sandwich and the turkey pesto sandwich as well. I sat down at the corner on the couch and yapped for 2 hours! It was super nice and relaxing. The worker made a wrong drink for another customer and offered it to us . We feel so happy that we found this place! Definitely coming back again soon! read more

Nambah Coffee - Snickerdoodle latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Verne, California

It was super packed when my friend & I visited. I parked in the parking lot across the street and paid for 2 hours through the link provided on the sign. So many good drink choices to pick from! I got an Iced Heart Throb (White Chocolate, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Espresso & Oat milk). It was really sweet, but loved the cinnamon flavor in it. It reminded me of a s'mores drink for some reason. The tables in front of the brick wall, were all occupied by students with their laptops. We sat in the cool lounge chairs in front of them. I hope to visit again if I'm ever in the area! read more

My son and I came in based on his previous experience. Delilah greeted us and more importantly, remembered my son and the fact that he had an allergy. It was so impressive to see that she remembered this, and she made recommendations for us. I had a nice latte and my son had an Ice vanilla latte. I also splurged on a Chia parfait that was perfect. Very nice little spot with good Wi-Fi, we plan plan on returning again read more

Nambah Coffee Co is a cafe in downtown La Verne near University of La Verne's campus. There's free street parking or nearby free slanted parking spots. There's both indoor and outdoor seating at this location, which is good for working or catching up with a friend over a latte. The ambiance is aesthetic and there's plenty of places to take Instagram pictures. There was a really long line during the middle of the day, but the line moved relatively fast and the drinks came out quickly. The menu has a good variety of matcha and coffee drinks as well as pastries. Their signature matcha latte was okay - the matcha itself was a little watery, but the strawberry syrup at the bottom complemented the drink well. I'd come here once for the hype to try a drink or just to relax. read more

Nambah (to add, to gain, to give) Nambah coffee is excellent. I came here often. The service there is always quick (unless is packed) but, it's worth the wait. The staff is ALWAYS friendly, talkative and genuinly interested in you when they ask questions, a very rare feat these days. They make you feel super welcomed. I always go for the bagel breakfast sandwhich which is your choice of plain, everything or Jalepeño Cheddar bagel and it comes with egg, cheddar cheese, and spicy mayo and you have the option to add turkey or avocado for a $1.50 more. I couple it with a regular house coffee or their Orange Blossom tea which is thee best!! Offered hot or iced, so good. Nambah is definitely a local hotspot in Old Town La Verne serving everyone from the college students to staff to alumni to community members alike. SO COME THRU! It has plenty of other options for the coffee or tea enthusiasts. It is nothing like Starbucks, which makes it that much better! read more

I got the sweetheart -- it's a seasonal drink made with house made strawberry puree, white chocolate, milk + espresso. I liked it, however the strawberry flavor was not there. But the coffee itself was good. Vibes were great for hang outs and studying but it was a little crowded given that it's located right next to University of La Verne. Service is also great! They're very nice and welcoming which is a great quality to have. read more

Nambah Coffee - Sweetheart + Strawberry Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Verne, California

Tried something different and went for their iced strawberry drinks! Both the strawberry latte and strawberry matcha were perfectly layered, smooth, and not overly sweet. It's rare to find fun drinks that also deliver on flavor, and Nambah absolutely nailed it. The service was just as refreshing--friendly, helpful, and fast. The space itself is modern and stylish, and the energy reflects its proximity to a nearby campus: full of students, a little noisy, and very lively. Seating and parking can be a bit tough to snag during peak hours, and some of the food items lean toward the pricier side--but for the drink quality and hospitality, it's worth a visit. read more

Stopped by Nambah to study and get some work done. Their pandan matcha was what brought me here! This cafe is located right across Univ LV and was pretty busy the time I went. Staff are nice. I was able to get a table despite it being a little stuffy. I came on a Sunday, so parking is free all day. My drink was perfect! I was able to get it with oat milk, and I liked how balanced the pandan and matcha were. The cold foam topping was a treat. I can see myself returning to try out their other drinks. read more

My sister and niece were craving coffee when we were in the San Dimas area, so I discovered Nambah Coffee Shop. The location is close to the University of La Verne. My first impression was that it was difficult to find a seat to enjoy the coffee, as all of the seats had been taken. We found seats at the front outdoor entrance. I purchased the SnickerDoodle Coffee, which contains brown sugar, vanilla, real butter, cinnamon, espresso, and milk. My niece got the Matcha, which contains premium matcha from UJ. Japan and milk. When I received my coffee, I expected a beautiful latte art design on the coffee... but I'm not sure what it is... Overall, I think this coffee is delicious and has a strong cinnamon flavor. The coffee has a terrible latte art design, the cup is quite small, every seat is taken, and I can't find a spot to enjoy it. This coffee shop is not the place for me. read more
