San Fernando Coffee Company — Restaurant in Monrovia

Yay they’re finally open!! We’ve been watching and waiting for months - and today is their soft opening (5/9/25)! We happened to catch it as we were grabbing dinner next door - their coffee is delicious and their pastries are huge.

Being in their soft opening, they’re still putting things together - but the staff let me know that most of their menu is up and running. Hubby opted for the Horchata Latte (hot). I had a sip or two and it was really nice - mild cinnamon flavor along with their buttery smooth coffee - and not too sweet which we loved.

I was so excited to see they have a S’mores Latte - definitely had to try that since I’m obsessed with anything marshmallow and it did not disappoint! Their coffee is so smooth paired with the marshmallow syrup - and they top it with a chocolate cold foam - heaven in a cup!! Not overly sweet and a great flavor balance. I’ll definitely be getting this again.

They have a large pastry case so we had to grab a few pastries to sample - a chocolate croissant (always a fave), turtle brownie, and a giant blueberry bear claw!! So far I’ve had a little nibble of the brownie and the bear claw and yessss!! They are so good - especially the blueberry bear claw with its lovely blueberry jam filling and almonds on top! Excellent!

The staff were so friendly and welcoming - you can tell they’re excited to be here and finally be open! One of the staff was even hand-painting the cute bears on the wall to go with the Monrovia town theme - beautiful art - Impressive!

They’re located in the plaza with the Vons and Baskin Robbin’s right at the entrance to Old Town with plenty of parking. Prices are pretty standard for the area. It’s a perfect location and we had a great first experience- we’ll definitely be back.

San Fernando Coffee Co is a local chain that’s expanding and we’re excited to have them- Welcome...

San Fernando Coffee co. (est 2025) is a brand new coffee shop in old town Monrovia. They have one other location in SFV-Sylmar which I have visited a few months ago. I’m ebullient that they have one here in SGV.

This coffee branch is located in a large plaza. We came here on a late afternoon to check-it out. Its indoor was very clean and spacious with abundant of natural light. Moreover, interior decor was cute especially the huge bear mural with myrtle street quintessential to Monrovia. Anyways, they have three kiosks at the counter. They have a plethora of drinks, dessert and pastry items. We got a classic lemonade to cool down on a warm Sunday and a Strawberry Nutella Crepe. Both were just okay. Service was on point. Prices were economically fair. Plenty of parking. Atmosphere was relaxing. Overall, it’s a good addition to a very limited coffee shop (Hideout Coffee) being the on...

The Mexican mocha is great, and doesn’t have too much of that bitter coffee taste. I also love that they offer chocolate cold foam! I also got a breakfast English muffin, which was very good! The service was quick and the employees were very kind. The cafe was clean and they had lots of seating. This would definitely be a great place to study or have meetings.

The prices were about the same as Starbucks, maybe even a little cheaper. The taste and quality was much better. I’ll definitely choose this over Starbucks when I can from now on.

The only thing I didn’t love was that they only use a kiosk for ordering- it feels very impersonal. BUT, I know this is what many stores are transitioning to, and it’s not the biggest deal.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place to others! It was a good experience. I hope they are able to stay afloat with all of the other coffee...
