Roam & Brew is hands down our favorite coffee + matcha spot in Montebello, and the place we kept coming back to without even thinking twice. I always order the matcha with 1.5 scoops of matcha, vanilla syrup, and light ice, and it's consistently perfect every single time, rich, smooth, not watered down, and clearly made with quality matcha. You can actually taste it, which sadly isn't a given these days. My boyfriend's go-to is the vanilla cold brew with a splash of whole milk, and it never misses. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, just really well done. Beyond the drinks, the vibe is what really sets Roam & Brew apart. It's always busy for a reason. Friendly staff, welcoming energy, and a place that genuinely feels like it was built for the community. You never feel rushed or like just another order. Consistency, quality, and care are everything in a coffee shop, and Roam & Brew nailed all three. It's obvious how much thought goes into what they serve and how they show up for customers. Montebello is lucky to have had this spot, and it's a huge loss to see them go. If you're reading this and still have a chance to visit, do it. This place truly deserved the love it got read more

Roam & Brew Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montebello, California

Came here on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. There's lots of seating and one really long table that runs through the middle of the cafe. This place is located along the main street so there were plenty of people in and out. Great location near good food places and fun activities. I got the chai latte and it was a solid 4/5. Lots of spices but also kinda on the thin side and not milky enough for my liking. Would definitely come back to try their matchas! read more

I ordered the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Large - $7.75). It's iced coffee with organic brown sugar, oat milk, cinnamon, and topped with cold foam and crumble. To my immense surprise, it's functional and flavorful. The caffeine is strong, yet this brew is soft, silky, & creamy. My eyes widened at its quality as I felt its fresh, clean ingredients. Visiting Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello) is a humbling, unique experience. I visited Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello) on Monday (around 10:18AM). My immediate impression was low. This small business was surrounded by other shops covered in graffiti, flipped shopping carts, and dirty orange construction cones. The parking situation was confusing. There's a private parking lot behind Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello); however, there's a big blue sign that says "unauthorized vehicles will be towed." The sign lists only four businesses: Angry Horse Brewing, Sick Barbers Shop, The Magic Touch, and Prestamo Mortgage Corp. None of these say "Roam & Brew Coffee." However, I later spoke with Staff, and Staff explained that their business uses the "Angry Horse Brewing" building, so parking is allowed. I recommend adding their business's name to that sign to prevent continued confusion. If unable to park behind, there's also street parking. Street parking is "2 Hour Parking - 7AM to 6PM - except Sunday." Staff is cordial & professional. Staff was awkward when answering my questions, but Staff attempted to give a clear response with a smile. Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello) is shockingly busy with customers despite the poor location. Still, my drink took four minutes and 38 seconds. Quick! As mentioned, I ordered the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Large - $7.75). It's delicious! The caffeine is strong & enduring; the brown sugar tasted very fresh and crackly; and the drink is freshly brewed with a pleasant sweetness. This coffee is not bitter nor overly sweet. The ice ratio is also fair; it's a lot of tasty liquid. Surprisingly, this coffee rekindled memories of the cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. As I sipped, I felt happy. The ambiance at Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello) almost feels "hipster." The location looks worn down, and the air smelt a little musty as I entered. The location is not dirty, but it's also not immaculate. I appreciated how the floors were relatively sleek, but it would have benefited from more sweeping. Thankfully, the tables were very clean and smooth. Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello) had a steady customer flow; however, many customers chose to just order-and-leave. The surrounding neighborhood didn't feel the safest, so I can understand. Also, this location felt like a poor study/work spot for electronic devices. I only counted two accessible electric outlets. Staff also explained that there's wifi for customers, but it has no password. However, I did enjoy the upbeat, bouncy music. Fortunately, the location feels spacious with its tall ceiling. However, there's only four long communal tables. It includes a long bench and many chairs (about 20). This business also has a small self-service water station. I also observed a worn down, dingy game station (ex: Jenga, battleship, checkers, etc). Also, I noticed customers walking inside with dogs on leashes, so this business appears dog friendly. Overall, Roam & Brew Coffee (Montebello) surpassed my expectations. I did not expect such depth & flavor from its coffee. Yet, I found joy. It's a memorable, tasty coffee experience. If nearby, I happily recommend the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. 4.6 out of 5 read more

At first glance it looks like just a brewery, but it also operates as a café during the day, which I think is really creative. I got the cinnamon date dream and thought it was just okay. The sweetness kind of overpowered the actual coffee flavor, and I wish the roast was a little stronger, but that might just be personal preference. The coffee here is definitely priced higher than most places. I've studied here a few times and there's plenty of seating, though it can get loud from the music outside. The staff was helpful with recommendations and made our order quickly. Aside from the price and the lighter coffee flavor, everything else was solid. read more

The coconut crème matcha was so divine. Nutty, creamy and not overly sweet. The sourdough scone was wonderful too! It wasn't dry and the the light vanilla glaze was just the right amount of extra sweet flavor. The codes were so chill here on a Sunday morning. Just enjoying a nice matcha on the patio. read more

Great local coffee shop! Location/ambiance: Right off Whittier Blvd Main Street and across from a very popular coffee shop Cafe Santo. The cafe itself is also a brewery spot in the evening! Quiet inside with one person studying and friends chatting softly. It's a bit dim inside relying on more natural light. I almost wasn't sure if it was open since the windows are tinted. Service: The barista/cashier I spoke to was very attentive and friendly! She asked if I had any questions and if I was ready to order. I needed a few minutes and she gave me exactly that while also checking in. Food: I ordered the sea salt caramel and coco latte (half sweet, iced, whole milk) and a matcha latte (almond, agave sweetener). Both were very tasty! So glad I did 1/2 sweet cause it felt like the right amount of sugar. Tastes very similar to a Samoa Girl Scout cookie (just without the chocolate)! Can't really judge their coffee alone since I got a more flavored drink that dominated the coffee. However, I enjoyed the fun combo of syrups! I had a sip of the matcha which tastes like higher quality as they use Senzo matcha which I've heard great things about. Mild flavor and glad we did a nut milk so the flavor came thru! Will happily go again! read more

I already tried a few of their drinks (Strawberry Delight, Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso, and Premium Purple Ube), and my favorite is the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. It's sweet and delicious, especially with the cinnamon. No wonder it's a top seller! Located at a corner. Plenty of parking available in the back of the building. I went in the morning on different days, and it wasn't too busy, which is good since I'm on the way to work and in a bit of a rush. Plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

Loved the service and ambience here! I came to study, and it was a great spot -- good Wi-Fi, easy parking in the back, and plenty of seating with lots of people getting work done. It's connected to a brewery, but during the day it operates as a café, which makes it a nice and chill space. I got the ube latte (added two espresso shots since it doesn't come with caffeine), and it was just okay -- nothing special. But overall, I'd definitely come back for the great vibes, friendly staff, and comfortable setup! read more

Coffee here is GOOD. I always end up getting a cold brew and I can say that the cold brew here is quality and has a lot of flavor. Definitely lasted me all afternoon. Also got to try out the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and had the perfect amount of sweetness and overall enjoyed the drink. Loved that they had board games inside as well and the interior was very comforting. Parking - They got a lot shared in the back but it was plentiful at least in the morning. read more

Roam & Brew Coffee is a modest and cozy corner coffee shop in central district of Montebello, offering consistently excellent quality coffee with a knowledgeable staff. Its spacious indoor has a vintage and rustic design that emits a relaxing atmosphere. Similarly, their outdoor bench seats have good street view perfect for sunny days. On their menu, they have a plethora of coffee, tea, matcha and specialty drinks. I came on a weekend morning and was met by a nonchalant male staff at the counter to get my order. I had a classic Mocha Latte and it was perfectly balanced, with a rich, creamy texture. What I did not expect was they ran out of coffee lid for my bloody coffee. Oh the Horror!! This was my first ever to experience as such; as the Coffee shop Kingpin of LA, I'm utterly befuddled. Service was kinda slow despite there were only five customers in the shop waiting for their morning coffee. This coffee shop has board games for customers and functioning wifi. Prices were a bit expensive but matched the quality. Finding parking was a breeze due to many public parking lots within in the area. Collectively, R & B is one of two coffee shops in the area that serve a damn good coffee. In conclusion, I recommend this coffee shop if you're in the area. So, until then see y'all neXt time. :D read more

I'm always on the lookout for new coffee shops in my area and I'm so glad I tried this place out! Roam and Brew offers a variety of lattes and teas and I love that they don't charge for alternative milk and let you choose your sweetener. They seem to be more health conscious as they offer keto lattes with monk fruit syrups and almond milk. I tried their premium purple ube with almond milk and honey and it was good! The ube flavor was strong but I liked that it didn't taste overly sweet. They have large communal tables with plenty of seats available indoor and outdoor so it makes a nice work, study, or hangout spot. They open pretty early at 7am and close in the afternoon at 3pm so a nice spot to stop by for early mornings or an afternoon pick me up. read more

Wanted to try this spot for a while, and mad that I didn't come here sooner. The staff is super nice I took a while but just decided to try their baristas favorite, he had recommended me the ICED CINNAMON & DATE DREAM, bombacious. Definite re-order and no clumps of cinnamon so it's mixed it really well. The spot is very nice and big and they have games for you to play with friends and family, also because it's connected to a brewery. Also on hot days A/C is top tier. read more

Coffee was ok. The barista wasn't very knowledgeable of how many ounces were in the medium or large when I responded please give me the one that is 16oz. The coffee shop is not that easily accessible from the sidewalk coming from the east (in case you are on a wheel chair) the inside gives red state vibes. No art, looks like the back room of a restaurant they repurposed as a coffee shop. Three people were working and I walked in around 11:30 please notice the tip jars. I've never felt so not welcomed or noticed in a coffee shop before. read more

TL; DR: Newly opened be patient, try brown sugar oat shaken espresso! Saw this place on IG and had to come give it a try since it's local! Plenty of street parking or there's a lot next to it. I enjoyed the brown sugar shaken espresso that came with cold foam! I love that they don't up charge for non dairy alternatives like most coffee places do. They are newly opened so be mindful you might have to wait awhile but the drinks are all perfectly made. The two women working the day I went were incredibly sweet to me I can tell they enjoy doing what they do! I would love to come again and try rest of their menu. Also they have WiFi great for getting some work done! read more

#154 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I was on my way to a doctor appointment when I decided to make a pit stop for a caffeine fix. Roam & Brew is a modest coffeeshop connected to a brewery. I wasn't sure what to order so I went with the barista's suggestion of their new seasonal drink, the Tedd Graham latte (vanilla, honey, and brown sugar). I wanted to love it but honestly, I wasn't impressed. Personally I felt the flavoring was too subtle and barely noticeable over the milk. I'm well aware I'm in the minority though, in light of all the positive reviews. Regardless, Roam & Brew seems to be a popular local shop and it's always nice to support small business, so go decide for yourselves. ****************** 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

Amazing coffee shop with outstanding quality and fair prices. You can truly taste the care and passion in every cup. The customer service has always been friendly, welcoming, and genuine, making it a place you want to come back to again and again. It's sad to see them closing this location, but I'm hopeful this isn't the end and that a relocation is in their future. Wishing them nothing but success wherever they go next read more

What a nice little coffee shop. Kind of a hidden gem. I wasn't going to write a review on this place because I like that it's not too crowded. But they deserve to be busy. And I fear once people get a taste the line will be out the door. So if you're in Montebello and what a great cup of coffee make sure to stop by here. Or if you like to drive for a great cup of coffee come out to Montebello. You won't be disappointed. read more

A walking distance coffee shop from our place, which I've always wanted! Thanks Roam & Brew for opening one near us! The coffee shop is right next to Angry Brewery. It's connected but not connected though they do share an outdoor patio. When we got there, I already knew what I wanted from their fall menu, pumpkin spice! I ended up ordering a cold brew with pumpkin spice cold foam. I did not regret it either. Usually at a coffee shop, any type of cold foam is extra charge but here at roams, they do not charge . Same goes with their milk substitutions! The drink was delicious. The staffs were super nice and the place was cozy. I can't wait to try out their other cold foam flavors on my next visit! read more

LOCATION - Attached to Angry Horse Brewery, Roam & Brew is just two weeks in. They have street parking available in the front as well as a parking lot towards the back, if you go down 6th Street. Because it's attached to the brewery, it does carry over the decor and style. Dark, moody, but open. FOOD - I ordered one of their more popular drinks, the Salted Caramel & Coconut Latte. Right off the bat, the coffee itself is strong, has a darker roast, and smooth as it goes down. I barely tasted the salted caramel portion but you can definitely taste the coconut, which I didn't mind at all. Overall, it wasn't overly sweet or super strong. It carried a nice balance that I think anyone can appreciate. SERVICE - I was happily greeted by the gentleman working this morning. Service was good. I would recommend this place for sure! NOTE(S) - They have about two large tables but no outlets from what I saw. I'm not sure about the wifi but it doesn't seem like a good place to work. read more

Inside of this place was very spacious and what I really enjoyed about it was that they provided games so you can hangout with some friends and play. It's not a typical coffee shop because of the setup but it's really cool. It seems like they have events frequently like karaoke and some other events which I think is pretty cool! The drinks were on the sweeter side but they were really good. I got the chai and compared to other places the chai taste is very subtle, it almost had like a gingerbread taste to it, it reminded me of Christmas. My sister got the brown sugar shaken espresso and it was also pretty good. I would recommend this place if you're passing by and want a nice coffee. read more

I absolutely love it! I've been searching for a cozy, reliable spot near me and this is it. First off, the coffee is fantastic. I'm a stickler for a good TEDDY GRAHAM latte, cold brew, or cappuccino and theirs is consistently rich, smooth, and perfectly made--never burnt or watered down. They clearly use high-quality beans and know how to pull a great shot. The atmosphere is just as wonderful. It's clean, bright, and has a great, chill playlist that's perfect for working or just catching up with a friend. The seating is comfortable which is a huge plus! But what really sets this place apart is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always have a genuine smile. If you're looking for fantastic coffee, a lovely place to relax, and service with a smile, you must check out! read more

Located on the corner of S 6th St & W Whitter Blvd. There's a parking lot in rear, shared space with Angry Horse Brewing. Good coffee, strong and made to order. No additional cost for milk alternatives. Andres was friendly and patient waiting for us to study the menu since we were indecisive. They have some board games. Clean and simple seating area. Cinnamon Date Dream- really really sweet, not sure if you can ask to adjust sweetness. I usually order boba milk teas with 50% sweetness for reference. Salted Caramel & Coconut- there isn't any taste of coconut, salted caramel isn't salted enough and just a hint. **Update** Response to business owner- drinks were requested to not be stirred for photos. Drink was still really sweet after being stirred before consumption. read more

I actually loved this coffee place but a 20 minute wait for one medium drink is what I encountered when I went. I've gone twice and as much as I LOVEEE the drinks, it's hard for me to justify going when I sit and wait for 20-30 minutes for my one drink (With 1 person ahead of me). They have games and open seating areas so if you're with a group of friends and don't mind waiting, i would say to try it! It's honestly such good coffee. I really only ever stop by when I know I have 20-30 minutes. If not, I go to a different place! read more

Roam & Brew Coffee - Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso & Honey Vanilla Latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Montebello, California

We explored a Latino owned coffee shop in Montebello, CA. Roam & Brew Coffee started off as a catering coffee service that has now found an established location inside Angry Horse Brewery. This populated coffee shop provides its strength in advertising themselves, whether it is for car shows or for City of Montebello government employees! The owner of the store was immediately welcoming and told us a bit of Roam & Brew's story. He mentioned that all his syrups contain cane sugar, which provides that natural and fresh flavoring. They also get fresh beans weekly! We ordered the hot Sea Salt Caramel & Vanilla latte with oatmilk. This drink contains a salty texture, where the barista notified us that they infused their beans in a salty mix. This drink has a slight caramel taste that doesn't overwhelm the pallet. Most of the delicious sweetness would be from the vanilla syrup. We also ordered their most popular drink: iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso which already contains oatmilk. We've had some pretty poor tasting brown sugar shaken espresso--and Starbucks doesn't execute it so well either. However, Roam & Brew creates a delicious flavor, using actual brown sugar instead of a syrup. There's so much delicious and balanced sweetness, which they also top their drink with a cream foam! There's a slight cinnamon flavor that doesn't kill the drink either. It's all perfectly balanced and present. We ordered their pastries made by the owner's daughter's school principal! All the breads, muffins, and cookies are made with sourdough and pair perfectly with their drinks. Roam & Brew was a surprise find, and we were so happy to come across an amazing coffee shop with such a wonderful story! We recommend this location to anyone by the area! Let us know what you tried! read more
