Hop Cafe — Restaurant in Arcadia

Hop Cafe (est 2025) is brand new little coffee/tea go-to spots for students, creatives, and caffeine lovers alike. It’s tucked away in a midsize plaza on Las Tunas ave in Arcadia.

Entering this cafe is like you’re transported back into your chill basement with leather couch and jazz records for amusement. I visited on a warm Memorial weekend to check-them out. I liked their set up and relaxing atmosphere. And the fact that they have live Jazz on weekends and I like Jazz this was truly deserve a star in my book.

I perused their interesting albeit modest drink and snack menu. I had a cold Orange Tea x Popcorn chicken. Did I liked them? My drink was decent; ppc snack was atrociously salty but soft and flavorful. (I end up disposing 1/2 of the snack). If there were consolation it would be their prices were competitive, free wifi, ample of parking and good service.

Overall, I am reticent to recommend those items but will give other drinks a try. They deserve a second...

The Hop Cafe. Tuesday morning at 1045am and was in the neighborhood and looked up the nearest boba shop on yelp. Good reviews so checked it out.

The girl, Elisha at the front was very nice and her soft spoken voice is nice. She helped me with a large order of 10 boba drinks. She handled herself well as other customers came in.

I was pleasantly surprised to walk into a relaxed, smooth jazz music playing and feel. I expected loud K-pop music playing, but it was nice to have a cafe give me a mature feel and less teenager vibe.

It’s a very well layed out place and feels very welcoming. It’s peaceful and a nice place to get work done on your laptop. They have yummy popcorn chicken and jasmine strawberry tea. Waffle bubbles are tasty too!

Location is a bit away from the busy Arcadia by the mall or on Baldwin. But it’s easy to get to and less crowded.

Overall, I love the vibe!! It’s refreshing to have a nonasian vibe sometimes in the San Gabriel valley. 😉

I'm so glad I finally got to try this cute quiet cafe, it's located in the CVS strip mall and tucked away. It's very peaceful and perfect for studying and catching up with friends over some delicious tea and popcorn chicken! I got the matcha latte and it's really big for the price and you can actually taste the matcha and it's not watered down or dulled by the milk. I also got the spicy popcorn chicken to snack with and it was made fresh, so tender and juicy, they marinade the chicken with the right spices and it's perfectly crispy. The pieces are huge too. 5/5 for the matcha and popcorn chicken. The place is very peaceful and they play light jazz music so you can actually study unlike other tea places that play blaring loud kpop music..I love this spot n I hope to come back to try the white grape oolong tea and their tiramisu latte. The person at the cashier was very nice and...
