La Monarca Bakery Cafe - Pico Rivera

I've been wanting to try this place for a good while and today found the time before heading to work. The place inside is nice and clean with great music playing. You get that friendly warm feeling walking inside. The staff is friendly. I was greeted when I walked inside and customer service was on point. I walked over to the bread section and and picked out the guayaba with cheese croissant and guayaba and cream danish. I love trying guayaba pastires and I definitelywasn't disappointed . The danish was my favorite of the two. For coffee i tried the Cafe Oaxaca (espresso Mexican chocolate steamed milk) and I loved it it had just the right amount of Mexican chocolate that I prefer in my drinks. Iwant to try the Cafe De Olla next when i come back. I heard a lot about that coffee from friends. I didn't know this when walking in but they have breakfast Tortas and thought why not try it out. I ordered the Chipotle beef machaca. Itcomes with a salsa which is good. It's not a large portion of meat so if your starving you might not get full. Its just right of your feeling a bit hungry. Overall it was good, the salsa added the extra good flavor to it. Overall it was agreat experience and will be returning I came in with the idea of only getting coffee and came out with more goodies.

The coffee and pastries at this restaurant are both delicious. If you're looking for something close to authentic Mexican coffee, this is the place to go. However, in our opinion, it is a bit overrated. Overall, everything is good.

I visited this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee after a long day. The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. I ordered an Iced Tres Leches Latte and 2 Dulce de Leche Empanadas, both of which were delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. Although the selection of pastries was limited, it was understandable as it wasn't very busy. I appreciated the focus on quality over quantity to avoid food waste. I will definitely be returning soon!

The café de olla is delicious and they have some great pastries. It's a fantastic spot for a Mexican coffee and pastry morning.

Caschiere was soòo slowly someone should talk to her to teach that the people are there what they need to get and go home to enjoy what they have bought
