Mary Lane Cafe
301 N San Marino Ave, San Gabriel, CA
Crema's Take
“This mom-and-pop gem across from Washington Elementary has genuinely charming vibes thanks to owner Mary, who brings heart to everything from her lavender lattes (a standout at 10/10 when hot) to freshly made avocado toast with sunny side up eggs. It's the kind of cozy, aesthetic spot where you can linger solo with your laptop or gather the whole family for brunch—think Tuscan turkey sandwiches and Nova lox bagels that justify the hype. The whole operation feels like it's run by someone who actually cares, making Mary Lane a reliable anchor for the San Gabriel community looking for genuine hospitality alongside solid traditional coffee drinks and breakfast fare.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The whole family met here for brunch. The Tuscan turkey sandwich, BBQ chicken sandwich, Nova lox bagel, vanilla latte, and coffee were all delicious and made more than one meal. The interior was decorated with items my mom's house also had growing up. Will return again.
Just as adorable and aesthetic as I thought! Mary, the owner, is so genuine, laid-back and fun to talk to! She puts her heart into the business and it definitely shows in both the quality of the food and service! I recommend the BBQ chicken sandwich 😊 Great spot to sit outside…
Lavender latte: hot: it was 10/10. You can definitely taste the coffee and lavender. I’d highly recommend Caramel latte: 6/10 cold is better. Not as much coffee as you’d expect. Hot is on the sweeter side. If you like caramel, it’s for you! Avocado toast: I think they used…
