Café Santo

This is too good! 😋 Really like everything I’ve tried from here. Love the Oaxacan Mocha (left). It has a nice nutty and cocoa flavor and not too sweet! The Arroz Tatemado Latte (right) is a little more subtle in flavor. Tastes like a very lightly sweetened, nutty horchata. The chilaquiles were pretty good too! Nice and crunchy and just the right amount of salsa. Be aware they have a bit of a kick to them 🔥but still so worth trying!!

1st time visiting this cute coffee space. Purchased their coffee cake, corn bread muffin + matcha 🍵latte iced 🧊

Everything was fresh and delicious, can't stop thinking about the French toast and grilled cheese! The arugula and balsamic paired perfectly with the grilled cheese I wish they had tomato soup! I'm not a coffee person but I had like an iced hot chocolate and it was fantastic! The service was smiling and friendly! 10/10 my new favorite breakfast spot

Great little coffee shop in Montebello serving delicious cafecito, pastries, and breakfast, especially on weekends. Try their chilaquiles and oaxacan mocha for a great start to your weekend.

Tried Cafe Santo at a pop-up for a fundraiser at Suay. I had the Oaxaca chocolate and it was delicious. Can you please open up a location in the arts district so I can buy one every morning? Thanks :)

A really cute cafe on the corner in a neat intimate food court along Downtown Montebello. I stopped for a mocha and tried their quiche with an arugula side salad. Delicious! Nice outdoor seating. Very clean, very welcoming. I'd love to visit again!

Great coffee, great service, great music. This has become my go to place whether I want to have a nice lunch, a quick coffee or do a little office work while listening to great records.

Two chai lattes, one dirty one reg. It’s a good coffee shop to go if you live around the area or are passing by. We drove out 35-40 min to try it. I do think they need better organization and hire a person who knows coffee to take your order, I didn’t like they scream your name to pick up your coffee on the other side of the shop. Parking is a little challenging but achievable. Prices are reasonable.

Thanks to yelp for recommending this place. First time at Pico Rivera, this place is amazing several choices healthy Food, service is under 15 min. I don't enjoy spicy food, still their chilaquiles are spicy enough to let you drop a tear or run your moco... they are good . The ambience is good, come to the back of the store there's benches and where to sit, relax and enjoy your meal. I'm a coffee snob, and like to try new coffee combinations, give a chance to the Expresso Tonic. Yahoo !!

First tried Santo as a pop up location at a park event and was excited to find out they have a permanent location. I've tried their Oaxacan mocha (iced) several times and it's one of my favorites! Highly recommended if you like latte plus some chocolate that's not super sweet. I wish they would open later though, they close at 2:00 pm every day so it's hard to get my afternoon coffee fix here.

Wanted to try a different coffee shop and saw great reviews on this place. I personally will not be returning. We came by and it's part of the BLVD Market, their space is located right on the side entrance on Whitter Blvd side. Few tables along the sidewalk for you to enjoy your cup of coffee. Street parking only. Their physical drink menu posted by the ordering window is extremely faded from sun damage. They only have an online menu if you want to take a better look. Dirty Chai- asked for half sweetness and it was just right for me. However, tasted really watered down, not much coffee or chai taste. I ended up tossing it.. Vanilla Latte- coffee wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be. Tasted more like milk with a splash of coffee and sugar. Oaxacan Mocha- was slightly better than the other two we ordered. You can really taste deep chocolate flavor.

Ambiance: First of all everyone is so friendly. The customer service from all the places is excellent. They brought my food to me when I forgot to input my number. Taste test: I got the matcha. Def get some added extras if you want some sweetness to it. The burrito was tasty and very filling.

Coffee is amazing!! Food is really good!! And love the service!! This small business is such an amazing group of people and I go when ever I have the time because I know they are open till 2pm. But it's a great hours to go because everything is so relaxing to enjoy your coffee!

First time trying cafe santo and it definitely wouldn't be my last. Placed an order for pick up on their site and it was ready once I got there. I was very pleased to see that they wait to add your ice until you come to the pick up window unlike other establishments. The place is very cute and quaint, with a minimalist design- given its a window out of a shipping container. The only downside was when someone swiped my drinks from the window as I was purchasing a pastry, which seems to be quite common amongst another reviewer. they were quick to remake my order for me given that incident which was also nice. I would recommend trying the Oaxacan mocha, it wasn't overly sweet and the crushed chocolate and almond bits were satisfying.

Food & Drinks: Vanilla Latte - 3/5 Oaxacan Mocha - 3/5 Avocado Toast with Egg - 4/5 The avocado toast at this corner street cafe had a flavorful combination. However, the egg that we added to it wasn't as runny as expected. The coffee, wasn't the best but still decent. It tasted watered down and wasn't very strong. Service: The service at the cafe was decent, they nicely let us know of the items that they didn't have at the moment. Ambiance: The cute cafe is located on the front corner of the street and has outdoor seating provides a pleasant atmosphere. As you explore further in the area, you'll find an array of food options and trucks, enhancing the overall ambiance and making it a nice spot to spend time.

If you find yourself in quaint Montebello, Cafe Santo is a must-visit. Their Oaxacan Mocha is a standout--a rich double shot of espresso blended with smooth, unsweetened Oaxacan chocolate and milk. It's a delightful treat for those who appreciate high-quality coffee with a subtle chocolate depth.

I visited Cafe Santo for the first time today and absolutely loved it! This cozy corner spot has a wonderful vibe, with nice music playing while you wait for your order. The girl taking orders was incredibly sweet (wish I caught her name to add it here). The food was great - I tried the avocado toast (amazing sauce) and the Oaxacan mocha. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be coming back!

Best matcha in the area. Cute vibes. Workers aren't too friendly but whatever. Right by some good food at the Blvd Market. Though no matter what time I come by they are consistently slow. Be prepared to wait for your drink and really bad on the weekends (since it's a small window shop and this is a popular spot). They hustle and no harm no foul, but don't come here in a rush. Tip: if you want your matcha extra green I recommend extra matcha, but regular is fine too Enjoy & thank you Cafe Santo :)

Oaxacan mocha was the choice today and it did not disappoint, it was the perfect blend and perfect sweetness. Cute little shop and so many amazing choices with milk alternatives as well. So much seating and nice atmosphere.

Really cute shop located in a small food hall area. Street parking only. I would park on a side street as people drove very fast on the Main Street. Cafe front is facing the street. They have lots of seating in the patio behind and some set up in front. Tried: Vanilla latte - too milky for me Triple espresso latte - perfect! Three shots has the best balance. $1.50 extra for one extra shot of espresso is fairly $$. (standard latte comes with two, but it really needs three). Drinks were around $6 each which is the usual rate. They had other speciality drinks but I'm not really a fan of mocha so I didn't try. I'd be back if I was in the area again. Staff was friendly.

Hot Vanilla Latte $6.62 (including tax) - 5/5 Customer Service - 5/5 Aesthetic - 3/5 I was in Montebello and google maps recommended this cafe. It's known for its oaxacan mocha but I'm not a fan of mochas so I ordered their vanilla latte. Basic, I know. However this vanilla latte was everything but! It wasn't overly sweet, the vanilla had a subtle pungency to it which made it unique. The barista was polite and answered my questions regarding the menu and the cute latte art was a welcomed bonus. There was no wait/line when I arrived so I received my drink quick. It's not a super aesthetic cafe with minimal but cute seating area. I don't believe there's inside seating but they do have shaded areas. Also, it's street parking which I didn't have any issues finding. All in all, I would definitely return when in the area.

The coffee was too sweet for my taste, but the service was quick and efficient. I'll definitely return to try other options on their menu.

The coffee was really good and if im in the area again i will definitely get some. The hot chocolate was ok but kinda tasted like water. The dirtu chai latte was good and the nuez was a good unique drink. Their chai latte was pretty basic tasting even after asking for extra sweet. So i do prefer the dirty chai more just for the caffeine lol

Café Santo has my heart! You could never go wrong with a Mocha. I also tried a shot of their Chocolate and I absolutely loved it. The food is incredible! I've had their Chilaquiles, and they were 10 out of 10. The breakfast burrito was incredible! Even the pastries never miss. There's outdoor seating, which is really nice always because the sun is always out. There's plenty of parking the staff a café, Santo are incredibly nice and attentive.

Refreshing drink to was down all the other good eats from the afternoon. I so badly want to try to the other drinks but I had to go with something that didn't have caffeine. All the treats and goodies looked delicious. Definitely plan to be back earlier in the day to try out other items.

Contemporary Oaxaca Coffee Shop, @cafe.santo is located in Montebello, CA. This coffee shop is welcomes when you first enter @blvdmrkt along with lots of other amazing eateries. Cafe Santo menu focuses on Oaxaca flavored coffee drinks and @coffeeshopajummas bon had to order the popular Oaxaca Mocha Latte which includes Oaxaca chocolate with crushed up almonds and cinnamon and double shot of espresso and milk. Cafe Santo also roasts their own beans and offers bites and pastries as well.

Cute little coffee stand in Downtown Montebello! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so I decided to stop by. I was under the impression it was its own building opposed to a stand, but it was fine because there's lot of external indoor and outdoor seating. The stand was decorated very nicely with lots of plants and aesthetically pleasing signage/aesthetics. I ordered an iced Oaxacan Mocha and it was more earthy than a regular mocha. There were little pieces of Oaxacan chocolate at the bottom of the cup which completed the drink for me, in my opinion. I unfortunately came while it was raining and indoor seating was about to close, so I just went back in my car. I definitely have to come back when the weather is better to have the full experience! Regardless, a great spot to have some good coffee.

Came here at 9 am on a Tuesday morning and the place had a decent amount of customers already. There's seating in front of the shop, near the curb, and also behind. We got 2 drinks and 2 food items: Chai latte ($5.50) Matcha latte ($6.00) Veggie Burrito ($10.50) French toast ($13.50) We waited roughly 10-15 minutes for the food and drinks. The drinks came out first and first impression was that they weren't hot but lukewarm. The matcha latte tasted powdery and watered down. So the matcha powder itself wasn't properly mixed with the liquid and not enough was used to give it the proper matcha taste. The burrito itself was a bit disappointing in size considering it was $10.50 for the burrito and you're not able to add or substitute ingredients since they're premade. It came with salsa on the side that helped add flavor to the burrito. The French toast was a nice size and tasted good. There was a good amount of fruits provided with the toast. There was syrup on the side for the French toast and it was topped with some melted butter. This item was probably the only thing out of everything purchased that was worth the price. Personally I would not be coming back here again. Their menu is pretty limited as well with a couple of things marked off their menu.

My wife and I really enjoyed this place. The coffee here is great and the pastries are solid. We also liked the outdoor seating. This will become our go to place for coffee from now on! Service was really friendly too.

Ordered some iced americanos here and they were delicious!!! The service was great and the staff was very sweet! I really wanted to try the breakfast here but sadly I had the kids with me and there was nothing they wanted to eat on the menu so we settled for just coffee. I love the ambiance here, it's a mini food court behind the coffee shop with a lot of other businesses to buy food and drinks from and a nice outdoor seating area with bathrooms available.

amazing specialty coffee! high quality mexican beans roasted to perfection. the cup of joe my boyfriend had was delicious! it is on the higher end of the price range; a drip was almost $4, but, honestly, well worth it! i had a cold brew and it was exquisite. i rarely ever want a coffee without milk & sugar, but cafe santo's cold brew was so tasty, it did not need the milk or sugar! i was really impressed, as was my coffee snob man. the service was great! the person behind the register was friendly & efficient; handing out drink orders while taking our order, it was awesome to see how busy they were on a sunday morning. parking was surprisingly easy to find. we snagged a street parking spot right next to the shop. overall, highly recommend! totally worth a try. the line may seem long, but the employees are hardworking and get your drinks to you in a timely manner. i wish them lots of success and cannot wait to have another cold brew when i'm in the area!

Hands down the best chilaquiles I've had. I usually don't like the taste of the chilaquiles rojas when they make them (even in Mexico) because of an odd sour taste but these were perfect. They had a great kick of spice. This isn't a standalone food place. It's more of a "food court" feel where there are multiple vendors and a dining area in the middle.

LOVE THE PAN FRANCES!!! BUTTTTT they forgot to drench my French toast in their special batter! :( It's usually drenched in some sort of lechera goodness and it tastes like capirotada and that's what makes their French toast special it's also my moms favorite for that same reason. Otherwise it's nothing special, just French toast lol... won't stop me from coming. I love their mocha oaxaceño.

Good latte, awesome service and ambiance. The Pan Frances and Avocado Toast were delicious!

Great coffee shop, surrounded by other food kiosks. The drinks and food were also very good, love the outdoors sitting and umbrellas in the back and on the front. Definitely recommend to coffee aficionados

This place is connected to a trendy outdoor/indoor food court with great options. The lady who took our order was very friendly and provided her recommendations. I really enjoyed their chocolate mocha which incorporates Oaxaca chocolate flavors. Their espresso is delicious too as I tried my friend's Americano. I really liked their burritos, small but the perfect size and they are crunchy with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the bacon burrito. I also enjoyed their French toast which was thick and I think Jade which Hawaiian bread or some other type of gourmet style. They also have other promising breakfast items like quiche which I plan to try next time. Overall, a great place for food quality fast food supporting a Mexican-owned business.

I love cafe santo! It is a tad pricey, my matcha came out to about $8 with almond milk and honey but their matcha is ceremonial grade and a beautiful green color.

Love supporting small business but found the coffee to be just okay. Parking is easy to find and service is good.

Really good and different perfect for what I need. I got the classic Oaxaca Iced Coffee and it didn't disappoint. Service was friendly and location was clean I would come back when in in the area

This was such a cute little corner Mexican cafe shop that focused on Oaxacan flavours; Yelp and a few mates have recommended this place, so had to check it out. Here's what I got: - Chilaquiles: I love chilaquiles and will try to eat it as often as I can from different places to find my favourite spot. Since there are add-ons, I got a sunny side and sliced avocado as toppings. I forget the final cost and it's currently not listed on their menu, but if you can (and are especially doing sit-down), I'd recommend getting it with all the extras. It's pretty delicious and it's in the top 10 of my favourite chilaquiles I've had in LA. - Herb egg salad (sandwich): Herb Egg salad with honey mustard aioli and arugula in a sunflower & poppy seed bread. $12.50. I absolutely loved how fresh this was - the arugula gave such a pop in flavour; I'd never thought it adding arugula would make such a difference, but it does and this is the star of my order. This is the one dish to have to get if you want a filling breakkie/brunch/meal. Definitely get it and you won't regret it if you like egg sandwiches - this is perfect for you to try out. - Oaxacan Mocha: Hot 12oz Oaxacan chocolate (blended with almonds & cinnamon), with double-shot Espresso, and oat milk. US$6. This was good; not sure I tasted the cinnamon, but it could also because the coffee drink got a little cold (not the store's fault, but entirely mine) so the flavours may have been a little mellowed down. I can't speak to the parking area since my partner picked this up via online ordering (through their website), but online ordering and pick-up were pretty seamless - not a long wait time when there to pick-up, which is always appreciated. Service was speedy and great since it was online, so no complaints there.

:: Food & Drink :: I discovered them on an Eater article, so I had to give them a try when I was in the area. I ordered the Herb Egg Salad Sandwich and an Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk. Both were pretty good! The sandwich has a honey mustard aioli and arugula in a sunflower & poppy seed bread, it was decently flavorful. The iced vanilla latte was just strong enough and it wasn't too sweet, which I appreciate. :: Service :: The girl at the register was nice. :: Parking :: I don't think there's a parking lot for the shops here. I had to park on the street (corner of 6th St). :: Tip :: You can order online on their website.

The service is personable and the coffee - 10/10 ! Worth every penny ! Don't question it ! I got an iced coffee and I like 40 minutes away. I would make that drive for another coffee, immaculate! I don't want to butcher the name but I got the most popular iced coffee. The coffee has a perfect taste, sweetness level. Immaculate!

Love the coffee here! My husband and I came to get some papusas and saw this huge line at this coffee joint. Decided to give it a try cause why not? My husband got the oaxacan mocha and I got the matcha latte with honey. Really liked that they used ceremonial matcha for that authentic matcha taste. The honey added the perfect amount of sweetness for me because I wanted to taste the matcha. Will definitely be back to try their other drinks! And their pastries!

Friendly cashier , good fresh blended coffee . They had muffins and they sell their own coffee too.

Café Santo is a cute little corner Mexican cafe shop that focused on Oaxacan flavors and culture. Located in the heart of Market Blvd of Montebello of East LA. It's founded by Pilar y Marlon who delve into their passion for coffee and community. They bring high-quality curated coffee and chocolate with seasonal coffee beans from regions such as Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guatemala, and Colombia. And beans are roasted locally here in Los Angeles for freshness and quality. I came here on a sunny (55 degrees; 12/18) Sunday morning. I perused their menu and they have a modest selection of coffee, chocolate drinks, teas and breakfast food. I was perfunctorily greeted at the window counter by an obsequious Latina staff. I ordered the following: Avocado Toast (Avocado, olive oil, lemon zest, salsa macha, cherry tomatoes), Hot Latte (double espresso shot & milk 12oz) and Orange Juice. My Avocado Toast was fresh, savory and tasty. Similarly, my Latte and OJ were quite good and perfectly brewed and crafted respectively. They have an outstanding outdoor seats. Prices seem fair and competitive. Service was modest. Staff were assiduous and professional. Finding a parking spot was relatively easy. Overall, I had a splendid order experience and truly enjoyed my toast and drinks. I recommend this cute corner coffee shop.

Bad service, waited over 40 minutes over an iced Oaxacan mocha, and when I asked about it, I was told someone must of taken it. But I had been standing by the window the whole time! I wish they would have own up to their mistake and not lied! Won't be coming back! My time is valuable too!

The food was delicious, however the wait was long. Drinks were just sitting on the counter with no ice till our food was ready. I would had appreciated getting my drinks once they were done being made rather than just sitting on the counter waiting to add ice till our food was ready which was almost 40 minutes. Good customer service was lacked. The girls out front were just sitting rather than ensuring customers were actually being taken care of. The interaction was disappointing.

Delicious drinks and friendly service! A little on the expensive side but I feel that you get what you pay for. I had their signature Oaxacan mocha with almond milk. My friend had a vanilla latte. I want to go back and try some of their food items. They have a few tables to sit at that face Whittier Blvd. and the ambiance is trendy. Cute local spot! I'm happy Montebello is trying to bring in some more culture and hip vibes.

Everything I have tried has been tasty and consistent. I love the Oaxacan hot chocolate and the veggies breakfast burrito. To be honest my expectation for the breakfast burrito was rather low because I don't love eggs or bell peppers and yet this burrito knocked it out of the park. I have been consistently craving it for a week now since I last had it. The only downer to that is that every time I check it seems to be sold out. But if you can get your hands on it would recommend because it's delicious and the salsa that comes with it is perfect. The hot chocolate is super yummy too especially for this chilly weather I loved the Oaxacan and the semi amargo with Nuez, but they're both very different. Anyway I will continue getting treats from here and hope they continue to thrive as a business.

Found this cool spot in Montebello and they serve up some delicious coffee. I tried out the chai latte and it is packed with tons of flavors. Sweet yet not overly sweet as well having the caffeine I needed to start my morning. I would be back to try out the other stuff. It's located near a market kind of small and hard to see but easily findable!

Such a chill morning coffee spot with a very distinct aesthetic! Made a special stop on the way home, since it's not everyday you hear about a Oaxacan coffee shop in LA. Of course, I had to get their Oaxacan Mocha (iced) - which is blended with almonds and cinnamon according to their menu. Very good and reasonably priced at $6. I thoroughly enjoyed my drink, as it was not too sweet and the coffee taste was still present! Wouldn't modify the sweetness level at all. I will say a quick warning to anyone expecting it to be like a usual mocha, since it's Oaxacan chocolate, anticipate for it to be a bit grainy. The barista/cashier was friendly and told him to let him know if I have any questions which I always appreciate. Speedy service as I was the only one in line and h just finished making someone's drink. Not too crowded mid-morning on a Monday, which adds to the sanctuary vibe. No better combo than Mexican chocolate & coffee. Would definitely come again!

Cafe Santo is a contemporary Oaxacan coffee shop in Montebello. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with cinnamon and the chilaquiles (only available Friday-Sunday). They were spicy for me but so good, definitely add the egg on top! A must try if you're ever in the city. Outdoor seating only but plenty of space. Great for a sunny day. Service was quick.

The food and drinks were overpriced. Was looking forward to the drinks and it was a huge disappointment.

good coffee & yummy food! ordered their semiamargo drink and it was amazing. also, their avocado toast was perfection!

Sorry Yelp I found out about Cafe Santo from numerous other online reads and I had to get over here but I am not in this area often.... BOOM!!! Friend doing his birthday party in Montebello!!!! The optimum day to get the heck over here after going to my Elite Perk at Modo Hawaii in Duarte!!!! Couldn't have asked for better timing!!!! Headed over here and I never had Oaxacan coffee before so I really wanted to try this.... It's at this area called BLVD and every eatery is inside a converted shipping container it's actually quite cool... They recommended the Oaxacan Mocha but I'm not a big Mocha drinker so I went with a Oat Milk Latte which was really good....after that I got a black drip coffee because I love having coffee in it's element without anything else in it to see how good it is by itself and the aroma and everything... Yup 5 Stars ..... Can't wait til I'm in the neighborhood again!

So friendly and is always welcoming and nice! The best french toast and avocado toast I have ever had!!

Love this coffee spot They're coffee it's so good & smooth one of my favorite coffee spots
