    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.

    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.

    Blueberry muffins (u should try the chocolate chip one)

    Great service, friendly staff, amazing pastries, and delicious food :) One year left since my first visit, they always make some new cool stuff

    Interior - "Very Tiny"
    Ian A.

    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.

    Lovers latte (vanilla, rose, strawberry)
    Sam B.

    #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).

    Tiramisu Latte, Summer Sunrise, and Vietnamese Coffee
    Denise P.

    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!

    Left: Mocha  Right: Tiramisu Latte

    The ambiance was good. The wait wasn't long but there was only one guy working alone so be patient. He was nice and let us know food items weren't available due to kitchen problems that day so we couldn't try any. After we ordered and were waiting more people kept coming in so safe to say it's a coffee good shop. The drinks were really good the coffee didn't taste burnt, the mocha tasted like a proper mocha and the tiramisu was really good too. Both for under $10 definitely recommend overall.

    Hainan chicken burrito
    Jeff M.

    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.

    Breakfast burrito with chicken, rice, avocado
    Darlene G.

    This small cafe is such a gem. The prices can't be beat for the quality of food and drinks they serve! The small breakfast burrito was the perfect size for a quick snack (they have 2 sizes). The tiramisu latte was the highlight of my day. The employee that took my order was quick and friendly. He made me drink so fast and it came out so delicious! Can't wait to stop by when I'm in the area again.

    Tiramisu Latte & Caramel Frappe
    Karena S.

    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!

    Carmen Y.

    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!

I'm always conflicted between sweet or savory for breakfast, but this solves all my problems. The banana mac nut pancakes were perfect - so fluffy, not too sweet, so many bits of macadamia. Chimichurri steak was yummy, but I'll try ordering it medium rare next time if they allow me to. All this for $24 is such a steal. Chicken katsu with rice and mac salad: 5/5.

I ordered the Macnut banana pancake. The portion was huge, I could only finish half. The flavors are ok, could be better. I miss the syrup options in Hawaii... here they only have maple syrup. The macadamia nuts were too soft. In Hawaii there was much more crunch to the pancakes. My family ordered the Kailua pork omelet, soft shell crab pancake and other items. They seem to really enjoy the food and say they would come back. It's a good place to get some island food without flying over to Hawaii. Would come back.
