La Monarca Bakery & Cafe

Located on a boulevard corner, parking lot is located behind the building and is a bit tight to get in and out of. Ordered a to-go drink that was alright. Staff were sweeping upon arrival but graciously let us into the restroom.

I love this bakery! Everything they have is delicious. Tried their matcha with strawberry foam and it did not disappoint!

Great place!! First time being there and it's very cozy! The Iced Horchata latte was amazing. Tiramisu cake was delicious too!

This bakery and cafe shop on the corner offers a delightful Mexican-style experience. It's enjoyable to relax in the shop while savoring a cup of Mexican hot coffee and a piece of freshly baked cake.

I've lived in Santa Monica for 7 years and April 4, 2024 is the first time I stop in to order something. The coffee is excellent. It's better than Starbucks. Excellent pastries to choose from and they are absolutely delicious. I don't know of any other place that has pastries that taste as good as the ones here. Cozy atmosphere inside and outdoor seating is also available for those who wish to dine outside. What stood out the most was the amazing customer service that I received. It was genuine service. The kind of service where you can tell they really want to make sure that you are taken care of. You don't find that at hardly any place these days but I was delighted to find it here. I think I'm going to discontinue my 15 years streak with Starbucks and start coming over here. I highly recommend it!
