Cafe De Olla Bakery

This is a cute little shop that has pastries, coffees, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos they have cookies and cakes. They’re a little pricey, but everything looks made fresh they make your coffee right there and your breakfast burritos are made to order along with your breakfast sandwiches. I have all the pastries behind Glass cabinets which I think is really cool. They have plenty of parking cause I share it with several of their locations. The people that helped us were really nice. I didn’t get their name. It was Valentine’s Day so they had a couple nifty little things. The banana pie was delicious. I was craving banana pudding, but the banana pie did not disappoint. The wedding cookies are really good. You only get five in a pack and they’re like five dollars so they’re about a dollar cookie. The heart shaped one with the raspberry in the middle for Valentine’s Day was not very sweet and could’ve used a little bit more raspberry 10 out of 10 recommend going by and checking it out. The Maui cake is good and the berry and cream one as well.

This is a quick grab and go coffee shop that not only offers tasty Cafe De Olla but also a nice delicious variety or pastries. It’s not a sit down cafe like their sister shop so be aware. I ordered their speciality which is of course the Cafe De Olla and it hit on all points! I usually order it hot but decided to go with it iced. Oh yeah it’s a drink they never get wrong and if you enjoy a comforting cinnamon coffee then this is definitely for you. Along with their lip smacking pastries it’s definitely a perfect pair. The service was not so great but I already had that feeling when I saw who was minding the shop. Hopefully that changes soon if they want repeat customers. But other than that it’s a great grab and go so check it out if you’re in search of something like I mentioned.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This great little shop is worth a trip. Many nurses at City of Hope said this is the best there is. The authentic "Cafe De Olla" is awesome. I usually order unsweetened black Americanos. But this was life changing. And the bakery items looked amazing. My wife loved one of the cream-filled ones. But they didn't have gluten-free items for me.

Professional Excellence at Cafe de Olla, in Duarte As a former café owner myself, I have a deep appreciation for the immense hard work, investment, and dedication required to run a high-caliber establishment. Cafe de Olla in Duarte, is doing everything right. We visited this lovely bakery/cafe in Duarte during a very busy rush yesterday, and I was struck by how the team managed the crowd. They remained caring, efficient, and genuinely kind—a rare trifecta in a busy service environment. The Coffee: The drinks we ordered were expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. The Bakery:The pastries were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The Atmosphere: The cafe is bright, inviting, and spotlessly clean, which speaks volumes about their standards behind the scenes. It is disheartening when people who don't understand the labor involved in a small business leave casual, negative reviews, yet will often overlook the lack of soul and quality in a massive corporate establishment. Independent gems like Cafe de Olla are the heart of the community and deserve our full support. Five stars all the way. This is a beautifully run business that respects the art of the cafe. I can't wait for my next visit-!!!

Absolutely amazing... their bread is freshly made, everything we got was super soft. The ham, jalapeno, and cheese bollio was amazing! Fresh jalapeños and lots of filling. They had a good selection of cookies as well. The only downside is that aside from the herbal tea there were no options for coffee and dairy free items. Sadly I'm lactose intolerant and can't have coffee. I opted for their freshly squeezed orange juice instead and it was very refreshing, no added sugars and no added water either. The coffee items we did purchase for the family were tasty. They loved them. We purchased the abuelita latte and the café de olla latte. Our first time there and the Barnstable answered all our questions in detail. We will go back anytime we are in the area for sure.

I have been coming here for the past 2 years and always loved the food and their service. However, the past two times I’ve come here I’ve been extremely disappointed. The food lacked flavor and the side portions are so small. They barely gave me 7 small pieces of potatoes and called them home fries. The horchata, (which I used to love) tasted sour and was extremely thick and gooey with no cinnamon flavor. $9 for something that was not drinkable. The total was $70 for two lousy dishes and 2 undrinkable horchatas. Very overpriced!!! However, in the past we didn’t mind paying so much because it was always good quality food. We were extremely disappointed.

Delicious pasties and coffe! The girls are always polite and the guys. Very good FOH staff! Im a daily customer and I dont mind paying more for good quality food and fantastic customer service.

So yummy and authentic I got the Cold Brew with “Cafe De Olla” Cold Foam and their Flan! So delicious. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. My new favorite daily stop for my daily dose of joe!

Wanted to try this place, friendly greeting, Clean .. All pastry's looked super fresh.. cake made fresh in the back... vanilla oat milk was hot and tasty.. will be back...A+

Cafe De Olla Bakery a block away from my house? You've got to be kidding me! Absolutely can't believe that my waistline is going to increase now that it'll be so convenient for me to go grab a slice of their delicious Matilda Chocolate Cake. SCORE! This location is more of a "grab and go" type of place for coffee and pastries. It is unlike their Monrovia location where it is a sit-down establishment with a full food and beverage menu, so do expect cozy and cute, not a dine-in place to bring your date. I did felt a tad awkward when I walked in at first because the gentleman behind the counter probably thought I was weird in there snapping photos, so he did looked at me kind of funny. But after letting him know I was there for the first time since finding out on Yelp of this second location, he made small talk and was super friendly. I highly recommend stopping by Cafe de Olla when you're nearby!

Service was super fast when we came in to the cafe area. I got the hot cafe de olla and my boyfriend ordered the iced cafe de olla with milk. My coffee was very hot and super tasty. It was the best store bought cafe de olla I have tried outside of Mexico. Right next to the register you can find some pan dulce. They offer a few fresh baked items and some pre-bagged items like wedding cookies, etc. The location looked clean and well kept. We didn't get the chance to try the food at this location but will definitely have to stop by again to do so!

You order then grab and go out the door and I'm sure if you enjoy this type of coffee you'll be back for more. But first a quick fuuun fact alert! Did you know that this drink dates back to the Mexican revolution in 1910? Well I did not know that so this fact is for me too. Ok so if you're not familiar with this tasty drink, it's made by brewing cinnamon and piloncillo in a clay pot giving it its unique earthy flavor. So if that reads like your jam then get sum man! I ordered an iced Cafe De Olla to go and after my first sip I wasn't disappointed. After all it is their specialty right! They have pastries to go with your coffee so that's a score and makes for a tasty twosome. The service was ok and I'm not going to say it but I just have to. When you have a certain age group running things it loses that welcome factor to put it nicely. Then again I'm there for the coffee and it's to go stuff other than that it's a cool little bakery that has you on your way on the fly. Parking can be challenging on certain times but that's almost always the case. That's my take, Peace

I dream of this place! Cannot go wrong with a mazapan frappe and a quesadilla (salvadorian sweet bread). The stuffed bolillos are to die for! I love the cream cheese and jalapeño and they warm em up for you. They also have readily packaged cake slices and whole cakes. Sometimes I stop by and grab a box of pan dulce for my coworkers. Wonderful bakery with delicious pan dulce. I saw they have Roscas in January as well.

Came here cuz I wanted a latte and realized it is the same company that's on Myrtle in Monrovia.... I ended up buying a bunch of pastries for my coworkers....and they all loved it.... Awesome place to go....I noticed they have some meal items like breakfast burritos may have to come back for! The employees were awesome and friendly..... Definitely would come back!!!!

Amazing coffee. Pastries are ok. Desserts, I might skip. Good ride pudding though! Food is ok. On the small portion size. They use quality meat. And I particularly like the service, very attentive. Beautiful and spacious inside. I would come again.

I was looking for a non-dairy iced black coffee (or cafe de olla) but was told their iced version was made with "non-dairy mocha mix." I was a bit skeptical but it was surprisingly good. Good balance of sweetness, not overly "heavy" for a latte.

I've visited this place often, cafe de olla is one of the many restaurants along downtown Monrovia. I prefer to order to go as the restaurant can be a bit noisy and packed. I ordered online and got chilaquiles verdes with an iced cafe de olla. As soon as I arrived my order was ready, they have a separate section where one can order coffee and bread. The chilaquiles were good, not too spicy but had a rich salsa flavor. The item came with rice and beans which were both good as well. The cafe de olla iced coffee was also good, tasted more on the horchata side but I didn't mind. I only knocked off a star because of the price, it was around $30 for those two items. Very steep and think you could find better for cheaper.

Where do I begin !?!? Cafe de olla exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly and our waiter hector was very hospitable. The ambiance easily takes me back to a family owned Mexico City restaurant. The pan dulce is made in house which is good so you know they don't put out bread from the day before. You can see that this place is ran very well and professional. I got a cafe de olla (no pun intended) and it was one of the best cafe de olla's I've ever had, if not the best. It was sweet and you were able to taste the cinnamon. The Sinaloa combination really surprised me. In my house hold we fry the tamale and not a lot of people do that. So when I saw my plate with 2 fried tamales, I had a huge smile on my face. Very nostalgic feeling. The beans were ok, but nothing bad. Tasted like typical refried beans. The chilaquiles were the star of the plate. The salsa verde had lots of flavor and tasted like chilaquiles from Mexico. A little kick of lime, which comes from the tomatoes. Will order again when I come back. My friend got the waffle, which she almost finished, even though she said she was going to take half of it home. I think that goes to show you how good the waffle was ! Overall experience was 9.3/10. Only complaint is that I wish my food was a little bit more on the hotter side. It was warm and i personally like my food hot. Will be back again Thank you so much cafe de olla! ¡Volveré y con más hambre aun!

Came across this place accidentally and had to try it. I got there slightly before closing and saw they had limited pan left. I picked up a few regardless and they were all so good. I purchased a slice of their carrot cake and it was hands down the best carrot cake I've ever tried. Super moist, the texture was perfect. A classic café de olla was also super yummy. I'm excited to come again and try more selections of their pan!

Although I was reluctant to travel outside of old town Whittier, I was genuinely surprised. I was met with a great atmosphere, which included kind folks, and aesthetic interior, all were pleasing to my senses. Since we had made a reservation, there was no waiting for us. Our server was attentive, and the food was really great. I enjoyed the Family atmosphere displayed when a birthday was recognized and celebrated by the staff. Of course our group cheered each and every celebration. We danced we sang we clapped. It was marvelous. Job well done my hats off to the establishment and the helpers.

Good spot to scratch the brunch craving. This place gets packed, so try to get on the Yelp waitlist to minimize the wait time. We decided to get our usual breakfast favorite, waffles and French toast, with some coffee. We got an iced cafe de olla ($5.95), churro waffle ($13.95), berry crispy French toast ($17.75), and a hot cafe de olla ($4.95). It was disappointing to discover that the regular hot cafe de olla comes with refills, but the iced cafe de olla does not, especially with the iced version costing a dollar more. The cafe de olla tastes great so get the hot version for the unlimited refills. Both sweet dishes were yummy, and it worked out that we ordered the more expensive French toast plate because that also came with two eggs, two slices of your choice of meat (bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, or ham), and your choice of hash browns, home fries, or fruit. Having something savory with our order helped balance all the sugary stuff we were consuming. Parking in Old Town Monrovia is pretty easy. Look for street parking or any spot in the nearby parking lots.

Holy Smokes..... Wifey and I have been here 3 times in two weekends and this what we have tried. Iced Cafe de Olla- 5 Stars Hot Cafe de Olla- 5 Stars Cafe de Olla Late- 5 Stars Matilda Cake- 5 Stars Coconut Muffin- 5 Stars Cinnamon Apple Cheese Cake- 3 Stars Duabi Cheese Cake- 3 Stars Concha- 5 Stars Random Pateries- 5 Stars The service was excellent the girls working behind the counter were very nice and super helpful. Cleanliness exactly what you want especially when your buying food!!! Now the Cafe de Olla is definitely worth the visit hot or cold it deserves a stop. The muffins pastries and cakes are a safe bet, but for now I will steer clear of the Cheesecakes. They do have many assortment of Flan so maybe next time we will try the Choco and Cafe de Olla.

Had our "Coffee Crew" meet up at Cafe Olla for coffee & breakfast I heard from other friends how amazing they are, and did not disappoint! Our server, Julio, was wonderful, after describing the hot Cafe de Olla, it was a must try for me. Truly delicious, and I'm a black coffee drinker, yet the subtle sweetness, spices, and smooth coffee was perfection in a cup. As the token vegan, I was wanting to try a breakfast, yet the Green Menu wasn't quite the fit. Julio helped put together an amazing breakfast for me! Azteca Chilaquiles - red sauce with no eggs, cheese or sour cream, plus half of a French roll, topped with Refried beans & Soyrizo. Side of their creamy (vegetarian) Refried pinto beans. Truly appreciated how they created this for me!! I took half home! My friends enjoyed their breakfasts too... One had the Green Omelet - looked so good! My other friend has the Avocado Toast, which she said was such a nice twist with the sliced radishes, and drizzle of lemon. I need to bring my family here soon! Now we know why there is always a line! Huge kudos to Julio, his service, helpfulness, and keeping my coffee cup full (& to go!!) We saw a birthday celebration, and was such fun! Family Friendly, and warm atmosphere.

Cafe de Olla is a coffee with cinnamon drink, and is usually served hot. But, you can get it iced or served as a cappuccino too. Other specialties are Hot Chocolate, and Ice Tea. The pan dulce is delicious, I bought an egg tart and elote sweet bread which is one of my childhood favorites. They do have a good variety of cakes, cookies and pastries that goes well with their beverages. The shop is very clean, the employees are helpful and the prices are reasonable. Another plus is that you will find plenty of free parking in the shared lot. Just roll on up, choose your items, pay in cash or credit card, enjoy and, most of all, don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

We ordered over the phone, thinking it would be ready by time we got there and it wasn't . We watched the staff make our iced mochas and it was 75% oat milk and ice. Very very overpriced for what it was. The taste was okay, but we were expecting much better for the price. We both threw away more than half of it Then we got a tiramisu cheesecake like cake and I took a bite and it tasted rotten... then I tried again and it definitely was spoiled. It was a beautiful cake, but definitely should not have been sold. was visiting town and overall very disappointed! Had good reviews, but we weren't really that impressed.

Not only is their cafe de olla top notch (this is coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee btw). I prefer the hot over the iced. Their conchas are bomb too better than most Panaderias. Airy, soft and just so perfect! I like to throw them in the microwave for a few seconds. I did try their chorizo breakfast burrito, it was good but pretty average. Their sweets and coffee is where it's at! Both times I've came in and received excellent service. So happy they are open early to accommodate all the people who work at 7am!

I'm glad they have this right next to my work! I love their pastries and coffees especially of course their cafe de olla coffee or iced late! I also enjoy the abuelita iced late! I really like this place a lot but because there is only one person in the front register it can be slow once there is 3-4 people in line. However, the place is small nice and the main restaurant is close by. The music is fun haha

Amazing grab and go cafe with the best Cafe de Olla (I mean it's in the name). Located in a shopping center next to Planet Fitness, plenty of parking. They have a lovely pan dulce case and you can pick up whole cheesecakes, cakes, pies or you can by the slices in case you want to try a little taste of everything (like I did). This is more of a grab and go, not a full service restaurant. I also ordered a breakfast burrito and it was good but honestly the sweets are top notch. Friendly staff and nice clean layout. We do not live in the area but our daughter goes to school nearby so we will be stopping in often.

This place is a cute spot! But unfortunately I paid $14 for a very normal and underwhelming grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing special, just one cheese on white bread. It also took a full hour from chatting with the host to getting my sandwich. That said the staff was very friendly and made sure we were covered by shade, which was appreciated.

Normally I dont go for American cakes, but i think im going to have to rethink that again after having visited cafe de olla! This is their bakery location as an extention to the restaurant in monrovia. They have such a large selection of baked goods here along with cake options. Their cake options seem to resemble portos, so im glad to have a closer option. We came here to pick up a cake for my son's 100 day celebration. The staff here was super nice and helped us pick a suitable cake. We opted for the red velvet and it was a crowd pleaser! We sliced very thinly, but was even able to serve 25+ people with it (though we really stretched it). We liked that it wasnt too sweet, the typical Chinese compliment, and it was moist and tasty! Im actually very intrigued with their milk and berries cake, im going to have to find a reason to get it for the next celebration!

I ordered a piece of carrot cake for delivery and when I opened it the whole top was covered in mold. Customers deserve better than this.

I love Cafe De Olla in downtown Monrovia, so when they opened up the Duarte location, I was eager to try. It's a lot smaller than the Monrovia location and doesn't have any seating. It's not a sit down restaurant but more of a quick grab and go bakery. When you enter the store, there are pastries on the right side of the wall, cakes in the back of the store and croissants in the display area next to the cashier on the left. My husband and I had the signature iced cafe de olla and cold brew with cafe de olla cold foam. The cold brew is very smooth and the signature iced coffee is always a treat. I'm looking forward to trying the ham & cheese croissant and other pastries. A plus for nice staff.

I ordered the cold brew with cafe de olla cold foam, and it was decent, but I thought the pricing was honestly way too expensive for what it was. Otherwise the service was so wonderful. There was a line and the man at the cash register was super nice and accommodating which I really appreciate. This place is also meant for a to-go place. There are no tables inside so keep that in mind.

Have I found my local "Porto's" substitute cute little bakery with great lattes and fresh bread. All the food aesthetically looked so good. Can't wait to come back and try more! Will be a spot I can bring these goodies to family gatherings as well.

Cute new bakery location in Duarte, I love how early they open so it's nice to stop by if you start work early. The pastries here are good with plenty of selections, I personally really like the refugiado (guava and cream cheese strudel) and cubilete (mini cheese tart)!

The service was on point. The food was amazingly delicious dessert was fantastic can't wait to go back..

El pastel que probé estaba muy rico .. y el pan igual . Pero el servicio pésimo me atendió una chica con una actitud terrible de mala gana .. y hace un par de días llamé para preguntar si había un pastel dos veces llamé y me dijeron espera igual de mala actitud y las dos veces me colgaron volví a llamar y me dejaron hay esperando asta que yo fui la que colgué .. me imagino que era la misma chica con la misma actitud de siempre ... lástima hay muchos lugares para ir y que te traten mejor ..

The coffee is NOT good. Its the kind where it mostly tastes like what you put in it or flavor it with. The pastrys are good but a bit pricey.

Café de Olla was excellent. The bread was freshly made, and the pieces of pan dulce were huge -- definitely shareable between two or even three people. The cake was outstanding. I picked one up for my cousin's birthday, and it was absolutely delicious. I've eaten at the restaurant before, and this time I stopped by just the bakery, and it was just as great. Highly recommended.

A perfect little place for coffee and baked goods or cake instead of the option if eating at the restaurant. A huge variety of baked goods, cakes, etc. Especially the famous Cafe de olla In the shopping area , besides Habit. The lady at that helped us was very nice & friendly. The place was nice & clean

Finally, a coffee spot in Duarte that isn't Starbucks! Café de Olla Bakery & Café just opened and I'm so glad we gave it a try. The place is bright, super clean, and gives off that modern panadería feel--like your favorite neighborhood bakery but leveled up. I ordered the Ferrero iced latte and it was delicious. You could still taste the espresso--so it wasn't just syrupy sugar water pretending to be coffee (looking at you, chain cafés). It had a nice nutty, chocolatey flavor but still gave me that caffeine kick I needed. We also tried the chorizo burrito, and let me tell you, it wasn't just eggs with a hint of chorizo--it actually had a good portion of seasoned chorizo, fresh ingredients, and tasted homemade. They've got a ton of dessert options (chocoflan, carrot cake, creamy banana, and more), traditional pan dulce, ready-to-go cakes, and even birthday candles and cute toppers. The service was great too--the guy helping us was really nice and quick, which made the experience even better. Support local and skip the drive-thru--Café de Olla is a total win for Duarte!

So glad this place was open early. Friendly cashier. Ordered the cafe de olla and several different pan dulces and cookies. I enjoyed the regular pan dulces more than the specialty pistachio one but overall was very good.

They make great coffee and the service is nice. Restaurant looks very clean and organized.

This place is filled with deliciousness. It is my go to spot for yummy treats to bring to any type of gatherings. In a big parking lot which makes it so convenient to get in and out. I haven't ordered the burritos or breakfast yet but I plan on going again soon. The pistachio frap was good too.

Great food and wonderful service! This has become a family favorite, and our go-to restaurant in Monrovia. Our family has tried lots of different dishes and every single one of them is great! We love that they serve breakfast all day. The Churro waffles are amazing! Even their beans and rice are so good you could have them on their own! Do yourself a favor and visit there Bakery case on the way out as well. :-)

They have fresh pastries and homemade granola. Everything is sooooo good! My favorite drink is their newest offering - the champurrado. Try it!

Unlike its other shop, this location focuses on the pan dulce more than a full breakfast dining experience. I have to admit, they have some of the best pan I've had albeit a little pricier than the smaller shops. I got a huge assortment of them and the consensus was they were all pretty good. The system is set up for self service and you just put on a tray and get checked out. Glad this one is closer to my house as I will look forward to trying more of their tasty pastries.

Wanted a quick bite and came across this little place. The employee was welcoming and friendly. It is simple little place with lots of delicious looking pastries. Small family owned bakery that I would try again if I'm in the area again.

We really wanted to like it. We got two Abuelita lattes and they terrible. We had to throw them away. The Horchata latte was ok.

We were excited to try this new place in the area. Love the clean new aesthetic. It's very modern and clean! I tried an assortment on concha's and I enjoyed them all. I can't wait to go back and try the coffee !

Got two mid coffees and somehow it costed me 17 dollars? We threw them out immediately. The first time I went a heavier set man didn't make eye contact with me or say hi when I walked in, he simply stared at his phone until I was face to face with him to pay for my drink. 2/2 misses. Overpriced for watered down drinks. Go to LA or other coffee shops actually worth the price and decent customer service.

Stopped by this morning to try it out. Got an iced cafe de olla and some pastries. The store is cute and the service is fast and friendly! Would come back again.

Super cute little coffee/bakery shop in a plaza that's easy to find parking. I got the cafe olla latte and the coffee flavor was fantastic. The flavor contains cinnamon, brown sugar, and some spices. It may not be everyone's cup of tea so I would stray away if you aren't open to trying new things. My friend got the vanilla latte and she said it was fantastic. The lattes are based with whatever milk you want (at no extra cost) and 2 espresso shots. The coffee was strong and smooth and would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area trying to find a new local cafe! (:

My first time here, Alex was so nice and so welcoming. He gave us some samples on the amazing coffee and was so kind!! My new place for desserts and cakes!! Everything was amazing.

Cute little shop (owners are the same as the Monrovia restaurant) tucked in the Stater Brother's shopping center. They offer a nice variety of cafe de olla coffee selections (ie: regular cafe de olla, iced coffee, cafe de olla lattes, etc) and it definitely satisfied the craving and it wasn't overly sweet. Their bakery store front offered various pan dulces, breads, cake slices (I love this concept) and full sized cakes in their fridge. Overall, the price point is very reasonable, especially for a very good tasting cup of cafe de olla. Wait was very short (given that it was a random Thursday mid morning). Will be returning....

This place is such a huge bonus for us who live in the city of Duarte. Today I finally got a chance to pop in. The staff are super friendly, the place is super clean, coffee is of course amazing, and all of the different bakery goods were fresh and delicious! I am so happy that we have this place nearby now. I applaud Café de olla for making the investment in our city.

My favorite place, EVER! So happy the bakery is open. The burritos are sooo good! Fresh and very rich in flavor. Filling and the salsa is good. Definitely recommend.
