Café De Olla - Monrovia

Visited the place three times and never disappointed. The server was friendly and helpful. The food was tasty in a casual, comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended if looking for alternative to breakfast or brunch.

This was a cute little spot. It was hot outside so you'd figure the a/c would be on but it wasn't. The food was average, it wasn't anything special but then again I just had the chicken pesto panini. I did love the coffee it was really strong. My daughter's meal was good, chicken nuggets with fruit. And they gave her a good amount of fruit so she was pretty happy.

The wait really is the worst part. Food and service are still really great. Menudo and enchiladas are our go to?s and they really get it right here. The carne asada taco was good, but not great. I would save the tacos for the local hole in the walls and get the speciality plates and items here. Coffee is amazing as well, but it should be since that is their name. Make sure to use the on line wait list and be ready to wait a little on weekends, but it?s worth it.

This place was absolutely wonderful. Everything we ate was spectacular. The menu was great. Waffles and pancakes and French toast of all kinds paired with eggs and bacon or sausage and potatoes. I like how the menu is structured. It makes it easy to find and order. There are sweet breads for snacking before the meal and they are great. The food was cooked perfectly. Crispy bacon, perfectly poached eggs, sausages, and the waffle was one of the best I've ever had.

Who knew Monrovia was hiding such an amazing brunch spot? De Olla is tucked away on a street so calm and serene that you'll definitely miss it if you're not looking close enough. I really enjoyed everything about this cafe, from the carts of bread, to the service, and even the plain hot coffee. I got the El Paisano omelet with the has browns and sourdough toast. The sauces that the omelet was covered in were very delicious. My hash brown wasn't really crispy so make sure you
