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!
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!
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.
Hainam Chicken and rice only $10 so deeeelicios! The chicken pesto panini WoW so good it made my toes curl lol. My iced caramel latte made my other toes curl! The free blueberry muffin made me jump for jOy! It's kinda hard to find it's located across from McDonalds. Kudos to the Kitchen Chef!!!
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.
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.
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.
#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.
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. There is really limited seating inside so it is best to take it to go. FOOD - I've tried the chicken rice and the tuna melt. I thought they were good, quick bites. SERVICE - Good and friendly PARKING - limited street parking (free).
Great deals and great service! Coffee and drinks for $4, what more can you ask for? And when you spend over $10 you get a free pastry! The food is good too and also really good prices! I've had the tuna melt and the ham and cheese croissant which were both good. As for muffins my favorite is the banana chocolate chip. The service is also quick and fast, the cashier makes your drinks right in front of you and I've never waited more than 5 minutes for my food. This spot is very small, more of a grab and go establishment rather than somewhere you can chill or work. Only small counters inside and a couple tables outside. Nothing wrong with that though! Just make note of that when planning your visit.
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!
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!
What a gem of a place with unbelievable prices! Quaint little cafe with some delicious food. Baked goods were hot and fresh. The chocolate and blueberry muffin were devoured before realizing no pictures were taken. The Hainan chicken rice and burrito are definitely the reasons we'll be coming back. So simple but done so right. The extra carbs were worth it.

Great service, friendly staff, amazing pastries, and delicious food :) One year left since my first visit, they always make some new cool stuff 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
Great food at very competitive prices. The pesto sandwich is a must-try! It's a small operation with quick service, but because seating is so limited, it's best suited for takeout. Tip: If you go near closing time, you might snag a free leftover pastry with your order! 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
This little cafe is a local hidden gem in Arcadia! You cannot beat their prices anywhere else. Lattes are under $4 and they use real espresso! My go to is the honey cinnamon latte and its better than some of the coffee shops that charge more than double! This is definitely a order and takeout place but there are a few chairs outside. I'm curious to go back to try their food too! Their whole menu is affordable which is amazing! 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

Small mom and pop coffee shop that took over Poppy Cake in Arcadia. What really stood out to me when I first came across it was the prices! Drinks for less than $5? Where can you find that nowadays? I decided to check it out for myself, and I was pretty blown away. I've been by twice already, and I've enjoyed both visits. They were having a promotion where if you order more than $10, you get to choose a free pastry. So since I had ordered 3 drinks that day, I ended up trying a muffin. Not sure if the pastries are made in house, but it was pretty good. As for the drinks, my go-to is the Spanish latte, but I've tried the mocha and vanilla as well, and all were pretty good. There isn't too big of a distinction between mocha and vanilla (except that vanilla was a tad bit sweeter), but I really could taste the cinnamon in the Spanish latte. I've also tried their boba latte, which was interesting! I don't know if I'd get it again just cause I prefer boba with milk tea, but it wasn't bad. They also serve food here at an affordable price! Seems to be run by a super nice family - definitely glad they're in the area and hope they stay! Parking is pretty much street parking. There's one or two high tables with chairs, but this is more of a grab and go shop. read more
COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing some food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is behind the building. It's a super small lot. Just park on the street and walk over. It's much more convenient. Food: I ordered several Hainan chicken to bring to my coworkers. One of them wasn't feeling great, so she ended up giving me her Hainan chicken. The owner was really sweet and he gave me some chocolate chip and blueberry muffins to give to my coworkers too. I did not have any of the muffins, so I cannot comment on the taste and texture. However, they did look very moist and tasty. Anyways, back to the Hainan chicken. The portions are huge for $10. They were generous with the chicken. The chicken was very tender, soft, and tasty. The rice was very warm and jasmine -y. I love that they gave lots of scallion sauce to pour over the Hainan chicken. My only complaint is that I wished they put the sauces in a small baggie or something because two out of the six sauces leaked. I put the food in my passenger seat and the sauces leaked through the bag and onto my car seats. My car now smells like the scallion sauce. Oh well. The food was divine. Staff: The staff here are very kind, friendly, helpful, and generous. They accept credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. read more
Yi's Cafe is across the street from the Dollar Tree Plaza, a few doors down from the UPS store. Street parking is available. Yi's Cafe opened this past summer and I always passed by it when I would go to church and so this past Sunday, I decided to try them out after service. I arrived a little before 11:30 am and found plenty of parking on the street. When I walked in, I just had a party of 2 ahead of me, making their order. When it was my turn, I ended up ordering:4 Pumpkin Spice Latte, Hot, $4 prior to tax- I picked this beverage, it had a nice flavor of pumpkin. Vietnamese Coffee, Iced, $3.75 prior to tax- My husband thought this coffee drink tasted off to him. He has had numerous of Vietnamese coffee drinks before but didn't really like this one. Americano, Hot, $2.50 prior to tax- I got this one for my mom and she thought it was fine. Matcha Latte, Iced, $3.75 prior to tax- I wasn't a fan of this matcha. I honestly felt like the quality of the matcha used is low (I drink a lot of matcha and also make it at home regularly, the old school way with a whisk and special tea bowl). Hainan Chicken Rice, $9.99 prior to tax- This was definitely the star of the show in the purchase that I made. The portion size for the price is excellent and the chicken was tender. I was surprised that the chicken was also boneless too. The rice dish is a bit too oily though, but that's to be expected. I also wished there were a little more sliced cucumbers to break up the oiliness of this dish. My husband also enjoyed this dish and so did my mom. Cinnamuffin, $2.50 prior to tax- Because of the special of spending $10 or more, I got this item for free. This item was good two days after purchase. I just heated it in the oven with a damp paper towel for 15 seconds and it came out great. The muffin was moist and the icing on top that was not too sweet. --------------------------------- (Total= $25.04 after tax, prior to tip) After this visit, my husband ended up visiting Yi's Cafe with our little girl dog on 2 separate visits and on his most recent visit, he brought me back: Honey Chai, Hot, $3.75 prior to tax- I did like this drink but felt it was a little too sweet, most likely from the honey and would consider trying the spicy chai next time. Smoked Salmon Sandwich, $5.99 prior to tax- This sandwich comes with smoked salmon and plenty of it, along with an egg, sliced purple onions, sliced cucumbers, a spread of both cream cheese and thousand island dressing that is on top of a brioche bun. I had this for lunch at work one day (reheated just fine in the microwave) and thought it was pretty good. The portion size of this sandwich was more than plenty for my lunch. -------------------------------------- (Total= $10.76 prior to tax) Service that I had on my visit was friendly but because the one employee working the coffee machine takes orders and makes drinks, there may be a small wait time after you order (depending on how people are ahead of you). Drink prices are very cheap and so is food in general. I haven't really been impressed with any of their drinks and think I might just stick to their food in the near future. read more

This place is great. Wonderful little shop with great coffee and super affordable prices. The guys there are really nice and pretty fast. They make your coffee right in front of you. They don't upcharge for Oatmilk. They bake fresh muffins and croissants daily. I've had their bacon breakfast sandwich and it was wonderful. This place is a gem. read more

Genuinely unbeatable prices without sacrificing quality, all drinks are $4 or less. tiramisu latte (4/5) - a little too sweet for me but a good chocolate flavor! dalgona latte (5/5) - perfectly balanced sweetness The staff is super nice and offered great recommendations. They get pretty busy in the mornings, but service is super quick. It's easy to park right in front by the curb or on side streets. Only downside is there isn't much space to sit inside or outside. read more
