There are not enough words in a Yelp review to say all I want to say about this place, but I'll give it a shot. Yi's Cafe is a spot on the corner of a street that is a bit unassuming, with just two tables and a bit of seating outside. But don't let that fool you, this is one of the best cafe experiences Arcadia, and even SoCal, have to offer! Even though it was my first time, it felt like I'd known Eric for years. His friendliness, down-to-earth style of handling things, and open communication about wait times were highlights of the amazing customer service here. We waited approx. 20 minutes for our food and drinks, and were offered two free pastries along with it. We got a banana chip muffin and a matcha muffin, both phenomenal quick bites that satisfied our cravings and hunger for a bit while we waited for our food. We ended up spending about $23 for two entrees, two drinks, and two muffins. The bang for your buck here is unbeatable. I've never seen anything like it. The two entrees we picked were Yi's Beef Burrito and the Chicken Pesto Panini. Both were delicious and hearty, feeling more like a nostalgic meal from back home than lunch out. The drinks are quite literally $4. $4 for a coffee nowadays is like winning the lottery on your first try. No better feeling. Both were amazing, with bold coffee flavors and strong notes of tiramisu and cookie butter. No notes at all. Overall, I think this place does exactly what it needs to. It's a small, corner shop-style cafe with an owner that cares about his customers, remembering "usual" orders and having conversations with them while making their drinks. He's patient, hardworking, and deserves all of the success he gets! I hope Yi's Cafe is around to stay, because I will definitely be back! 10/10. read more

I've been here three times in a row now, and every visit has been exceptional! The drinks and food are absolutely delicious, but what really makes this place special is the owner. You can genuinely tell how much care and passion goes into everything--from the quality of the drinks and food to the warm, welcoming customer service. It's impressive to see one person running everything while still providing such great quality and attention to detail. Every visit has been a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend supporting this local gem! read more

The service is quick and the prices are amazing! Had a chicken panini, a tuna melt, and ham cheese croissant and they were good! The tiramisu coffee was also so taste! read more

Inexpensive, no-frills spot to get your caffeine fix and a meal for about $10 or less in 2026!! Wooh! I ordered the chicken panini for $5.99. I tempered my expectations and expected a mediocre sandwich due to the price of $5.99 but was pleasantly surprised to receive a hot, generously-filled sandwich all within 5 minutes! I ate outside at one of their two tables and noticed a handful of people come in to order their drinks. Will try one next time! read more

I think I've found my favorite local cafe! Yi's Cafe has amazing coffee and foods for an incredible price. I can't believe they are selling latte's for under $4, when most other places are charging almost double. I ordered the hainan chicken burrito and it was so flavorful and a very decent portion. It includes rice, scallions, cucumber, and Hainan chicken. The staff are super friendly as well, as they offered a free muffin when I came in. Plenty of parking in front of the store. I'm definitely going to become a regular here! read more

This cute little place has been on my bookmark for a little while now so I was so happy to have tried it today. It's a little shop, but it's ran super efficiently with friendly service. Reading some other Yelp review and seeing some of their TikTok's, I knew I wanted to try their Hainan Chicken Rice, Chicken Pesto Panini, and their Tiramisu Latte. I did order all of those things, and added their chicken tacos and their Iced Dalgona Whipped Coffee. We came closer to their closing time and they gave us some blueberry muffins to try, which was better than some bakery muffins I've had. I have to say... Everything was pretty good, but my favorite would be the Chicken Pesto Panini and Tiramisu Latte. Other cafés, they would probably charge double the price and not taste as good but, Yi's Cafe definitely does it right! The Hainan Chicken Rice was decent for the price but the chicken was a little dry, the rice needed a bit more chicken stock, and I wish the sauce had more ginger in it. Other than that... It was pretty good. With all the food and drinks I got, plus tax and tip included... It only cost around $38. Which is such a steal for the quality of food and drinks that you get. There is so many good things I wanted to try on their menu, especially their breakfast sandwiches. I have to come back and try their Spanish coffee and get another Chicken Pesto Panini and tiramisu latte. So good! Make sure to put them on your bookmark and try to go support this small cafe. Your wallet and stomach will thank you! read more

I could NOT believe these prices. The staff were kind & service was fast! We got our food & drinks within 6 minutes. I also got a free muffin for purchasing over $10!! I definitely recommend the Chicken Pesto Panini & Tuna Melt, but skipping on the Breakfast Burrito. read more

Tiny lot behind the store but I parked on the street in the neighborhood which alot of other customers also did. There's only 4 food items on their menu right now. I ordered the beef burrito $5.99 which came with stewed beef and jasmine rice seasoned with a little soy sauce on it. I added salsa at home and it was a perfect filling meal. They toasted the burrito for me so it was nice and crispy even an hour later. Orders came out quickly despite a single person making the drinks and all the food items. I also ordered a frappe for $4 (in this economy?!) with an extra shot, it wasn't too strong so I'm glad I got the extra shot since I don't like my drinks too sweet. Indoors is tiny, they have a couple tables outside but I'm not sure if they're shared with other businesses. read more

The $1 chicken taco was so delicious that I ended up getting another one! The $3.75 Spanish latte with cinnamon and condensed milk and at no extra charge for oat milk - my mind was blown by these low and affordable prices from not just pre-Covid- more like from the 90's! Lol This place is too good to be true ! I don't want to yelp about it because then everyone will come and prices will go up and there will be a long line. Small place, causal and with free street parking . There is seating inside although a bit limited. read more

I had a good experience at Yi's Cafe (Arcadia). I ordered the Tiramisu Latte ($4). I felt awake after sipping this silky, chill brew. Its aftertaste is reminiscent of dark chocolate. Honestly, the low price is baffling. CRAZY!! I arrived at Yi's Cafe (Arcadia) on Tuesday (around 12:55PM). Parking will require street parking. Fortunately, there's a nearby neighborhood with spots to park. Yi's Cafe (Arcadia) has awful visibility. It's extremely tiny, and it's hard to find even when searching. Staff is busy and efficient. Sudden waves of customers regularly appear, order, and vanish. There's almost a rabid scuffle as everyone took in the low affordable prices for such high quality coffee. Similar coffee could easily sell for $7+, yet all of the drinks are $4 or less!? CRAZY! My drink took about three minutes. Good time! As mentioned, I enjoyed the Tiramisu Latte ($4). This coffee carried a layered creaminess while capturing the essence of Tiramisu and a fresh roast. I appreciated the drink's strength and thoughtfulness. TASTY! Regarding ambiance, Yi's Cafe (Arcadia) is cramped & tiny. It felt like a big closet. It felt warm inside. There's two tiny interior counters, and there's two small patio tables. This is an order-and-leave spot. Still, there's some utility. There's customer internet; information is available by asking Staff. There's also one electrical outlet. There's no restroom, but there's two hand sanitizer bottles. The music also played very light pop music. Overall, I had a good experience at Yi's Cafe (Arcadia). The coffee is high-quality, and the prices are extremely low. I'd take advantage before these amazing prices increase. If you live nearby, you're ridiculously fortunate. I envy you. 4.8 out of 5. read more

Heard about yi's cafe from a friend, and had to check it out. Got the chicken pesto panini and it didn't disappoint! The sourdough was perfectly toasted, cheese was gooey on the inside, with a generous amount of chicken, and topped off with tomatoes and spinach. And the best part? It was only $5.99! You simply can not find a better deal for what you get. They even gave me a free blueberry muffin! They have a limited menu right now but I'd love to try the hainan chicken if it ever comes back. read more

AMAZING. Got the cookie butter latte comes with cold foam and it's delicious easily a 8-9 dollar coffee. Then I got a lychee lemonade soda refresher amazing as well 14 dollar for everything and a free muffin!! Check them out!! read more

I have lived down the street from this spot for 8 months and I barely found it . Coffee is amazingly priced and the taste is great . Perfect combo of coffee to sweetness . Good things don't last forever so I will take advantage of this spot as much as I can .even if the price goes up i would still come for the coffee . It's a huge GEM in this economy read more

Yi's Cafe - Sunrise drink and a Spanish latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Tried their viral "Breakfast Burrito." Had to wait 45 minutes for order, ordered croissant and Breakfast Sandwich. The sandwich was good, only confusing part was the Burger Bun, subbed the Thousand Island dressing for Mayo. The croissant was hard and not worth it. The burrito has no breakfast items, it comes with Chicken, white rice and cheese? The flavor is good but confused my expectations. Did not get a chance to try the drinks due to the 40 minute wait but will come back to do a second review as this place is so close. The previous business "Poppies" was def more on brand and fresh. read more

#179 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I don't know how their prices are so incredibly low but I'm here for it! A hot honey cinnamon latte with oatmilk was only $3.75! Like what?!! How is that even possible when the same drink runs between $7.50 to $9 everywhere else in SGV? And the latte was pretty good too. I went in thinking there was no way something a fraction of the typical price could taste as good, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went back and tried their seasonal Lovers Latte, made with vanilla, strawberry, and a hint of rose. Even with the milk substitution it was still only $4 - absolute insanity! This little gem of a coffee stand deserves so much love, and I hope they stay in business for years to come. ****************** 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

Yi's Cafe - Lovers latte (vanilla, rose, strawberry) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

The one employee is very friendly and helpful, yet he always seems stressed out because of all the orders coming in - in-person and online. Food is great and so are drinks. Pricing is great. The problem is, I've stopped by their 3 days in a row and was unable to get any food because the wait time was 30+ minutes for stuns melt due to the lack of staffing. The owner should really hire another person, they've lost business from me 3 days straight now. Also the reduced menu is a result of improper staffing which is a bummer. read more

I'm so glad I found this place! They are affordable, great portions, and delicious! Ordered: Breakfast Sandwich - $4.99 Tiramisu Latte - $4 Hainan Chicken - $10 Blueberry Muffin - free! After spending over $10! Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

Highly recommend Yi's Cafe on Foothill for quality and a price you can't find anywhere. (Thank you Melissa) Was worried when Poppy on Foothill in Arcadia sold but this place is even better. It has great coffees:all sorts of espresso drinks, drips and Vietnamese coffee But what's super surprising is the prices. I got a huge egg and ham croissant and Vietnamese coffee for $7. Not $17 not $27...$7. read more

Yi's Cafe is a small cafe that's great for drinks and quick bites. The prices are fair and it's a good value. The location is also close to some schools so it's perfect for students too.

Maybe the best kept secret for coffee and an affordable lunch. We had 3 drinks and a pastry for $11 on a Sunday afternoon - which is a steal! We ordered a tiramisu latte, the summer sunrise, and Vietnamese coffee. The tiramisu latte is the star of the show. The sweetness is just right. The summer sunrise was way too sweet and the Vietnamese coffee tasted as if the coffee beans were burnt. I'm not complaining though because I needed the caffeine and the Vietnamese coffee delivered. They had a deal where you can get a pastry for free if your purchase goes over $10 so we got the blueberry muffin warmed up and it was soft and moist. Service is quick and friendly. Couldn't say too much for the ambiance because there was only one table outside and this feels more like a grab and go spot. Other than that, I am very happy and will come back to try their lunch specials! For the summer sunrise, I'm sure that if we asked to adjust the sweetness, they would have been happy to! Parking might be tricky but street parking could be light depending on time of day! read more

My quesion is always, how do they keep the prices so low AND they don't charge extra for milk alternatives?! Crazy. Grateful that a place like this exists especially during a time where everything is so expensive. I got the iced oat latte and it was delicious. Next time, I'll definitely have to try the food because it looked amazing. There's little seating outside, but seems to be a more grab and go type of place. If I lived closer, I'd be coming here a dangerous amount! read more

Finding a $4 iced latte in this economy is insane. I had a friend recommend this cafe to me a while ago and I finally found the chance to be able to go try it. It did not disappoint at all. It's a hole in the wall spot so there's only street parking available. There was only one guy working at the time and he was very patient and welcoming. We got a tiramisu latte, caramel frappe, and a banana pound cake. The total came out to be about $10. I think that's an absolute steal. The tiramisu latte was a bit on the sweeter side for me but it was still delicious. The caramel frappe was equally as delicious and icy. The banana pound cake was so yummy. I'm not sure if they rotate out their pastries but if it's available again, I'm definitely getting more. It was buttery and crumbly with a strong banana flavor in it. I've been seeing a lot of reviews about the food and I'm definitely coming back to try those! read more

$4 for a latte???? In this economy???? Wow just wow. Amazing prices and actually good latte comparable to other places that charge $6-$9! It's a small place but even the pastries were cheap as well (and still need to try) and its prices you'll never see anywhere else. Anyways... I came here with my coworkers and I have tried their tiramisu ice latte and the Spanish coffee so far. Next time I would love to try their Hainan chicken. 10/10 would be back! read more

Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: No restrooms. Promotion: Even though their yelp page says that the free pastry promotion has expired, they still honor it. So spend $10 and get a free pastry! Their pastries are baked in-house. Location/Parking: Yi's Cafe replaced Poppy Cake Baking Company. Major cross streets are Wigwam and E. Foothill Blvd.. Parking can be up front or on Wigwam. Ambiance/Decor: Small little shop with minimal bar table seats. There's also a bigger table up front to enjoy your cup of coffee and food. This shop is probably designed for take out. Service: Service was good. Staffer behind the register was friendly, attentive, and quite informational about the shop. Food didn't take long to come out. Food Of Choice: 1) Breakfast Sandwich ($4.99): Sandwich consists of egg, bacon, cheese, and thousand island sauce on brioche bun. Thought it was very good, but i'll ask them to put the thousand island sauce on the side. The price is economical. 2) Banana Bread: Liked the banana bread, but was cold. I'll ask them if they can warm it up next time. 3) Hainan Chicken ($9.99): Consists of poached chicken thigh on top of rice with cucumbers. Comes with homemade ginger scallion sauce & homemade mild spicy mayo. Thought the it was okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the rice needed more chicken flavor. The ginger scallion sauce was good. They charge extra for extra sauce. I wasn't provided the spicy mayo sauce, but that's alright. Probably ran out or forgot to include it. 4) HK Lemon Tea ($2.50): It was decent. Asked them to put less sugar. It was to my liking. Yi Cafe For Thought: With these prices and good food, i'll definitely come back. I'll also try their drinks. Economical indeed! read more

I saw this cafe on Instagram advertising their very affordable prices. When I came, it was exactly as advertised, simple, cheap, and delicious food. They had a $9.99 Hainan chicken special, so I had to try it. Here's what I ordered: Hainan Chicken - For the price, I really enjoyed this. It was tasty and had everything you'd want in Hainan chicken. (4.5/5) Breakfast Sandwich - This was around $5 and pretty cheap. It was decent, nothing special, and I probably wouldn't get it again. (3.5/5) Chicken Panini Sandwich - How is this only $6?! It's freshly made and so delicious. Yes, it's simple, but that's all you need. Tasty! (5/5) Dalgona Whipped Coffee - Tasty and not too sweet. We loved it! (4.5/5) We also got two free breads since we spent $20 for two people, which was a nice bonus. Overall, if you need a quick bite in Arcadia, this is a must-checkout. The owner is super friendly, and the food is delicious and simple. It took us about 15 minutes to get our food because it was crowded. They only have one table inside and one outside, so it's better as a takeout spot. Parking: Street parking out front and on the side streets. read more

So glad my commute took me out of the way so I could try this gem! At 7am, this tiny storefront was already warm and welcoming. The owner was super friendly and recommended the tiramisu latte which for $4 was a STEAL. I also ordered the chicken rice and he threw in a blueberry muffin on the house. The latte was so creamy without being cloyingly sweet and the chicken rice was warm and comforting. Despite eating it hours later, the blueberry muffin was perfectly moist and not too sweet. The owner greeted regulars like friends and even remembered their orders, I hope to be one of those people someday! read more

Came here early on a Tuesday morning to grab coffee for my coworker and me. I've been hearing great things about Yi Cafe for a while--seeing videos on social media and hearing a friend who lives nearby rave about it--so I was excited to finally try it. Parking was easy to find. I would suggest parking on the street or side of the street. I ordered the tiramisu coffee, expecting it to be very sweet, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious and truly tasted like dessert in a cup, with just the right amount of sweetness--not overpowering at all. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and even mentioned that I ordered the right drink since the tiramisu is their most popular item on the menu. He was absolutely right. I'll definitely be back to try more drinks! read more

I love supporting small local spots, and I can't believe I just discovered Yi's Café! I found it one morning when I was craving Hainan chicken rice--yes, at 9am! It's a cute little coffee shop with a few indoor and outdoor seating. The owner and staff were super friendly and made me feel really welcome. I got a hot mocha latte and the Hainan chicken rice, and both were delicious and really affordable. Plus, they have this awesome deal--spend $10 and get a free pastry or item from the fridge. Who does that anymore? You can tell the owner truly cares about the community and puts love into what they do. Definitely coming back! read more

Good quality food at great prices, and you even get a free pastry with a $10 order! The Hainan chicken rice wasn't the best (I had to remove the skin, and the rice lacked flavor), but for $10 plus 50 cents for extra onion sauce, there's really nothing to complain about. The pesto chicken sandwich was also a tasty lunch option. I also ordered a honey cinnamon latte, the owner also let me picked a free slice of banana bread. It's a nice little mom-and-pop spot worth supporting. Seating inside is very limited, so it's best for grab-and-go. Street parking only. read more

Super cute and small coffee shop with the best prices!! Holy cow that Tiramisu Latte was to die for and is less than $5!! Seriously unheard of around here. The owner was really nice and let me borrow his pen since I forgot mine. The place is pretty small, but if you wanted to sit and get your work done you definitely can because they also offer WiFi. However, the chocolate croissant I ordered here was rock hard. I was pretty disappointed. I took one bite of it and had to throw it away because it was pretty much inedible. But other than that I would go back to try their other drinks as well as their Hainan Chicken Rice! read more

What a gem of a place with unbelievable prices! Quaint little cafe with some delicious food. Baked goods were hot and fresh.
