Reviews for La Monarca Bakery & Cafe in Los Angeles, CA
They didn?t punch me in the face when I walked in three minutes before they closed. I would have. Also great drinks
Not sure what happened to this place. Used to be cheap and tasty. Now it?s neither. Awful reheated breakfast sandwiches, no more... molletes, and dry pan dulce. Read more
Bakery is ok, staff on the other hand ruined it for me today. Go in there every day to get tea and a chocolate croissant. Today,... they were out of them and on top of it, I seem like someone that tags bathrooms - so I wasn't allowed to use it. I think this isjust silly. Also, now I see why locals prefer going to other coffee shops around here. There's a girl that is really nice butthe one who was on shift today - Friday around 5 may 20 not about the good vibes.

On Thursday April 7 at 2pm my 9 year old daughter and I had a very rude employee interaction. I asked for the regional managers... email business card or phone number so I could report this and the woman told me no too bad I'm not going to give it to you getout of here. I'm not from around Los Angeles and couldn't believe the way I was treated by who I would later find out is theshift leader. I will never return to another location of this franchise I will find out what other franchises are associatedwith the bakery and will no longer frequent them as well Read more
This is the first low rate I have ever given to a place. I was so very excited to go into the place and make a purchase, the... way I was treated by the employee was very disappointing. There was only one person seating at a table, whether if he was apatron or an employee, I don't know. The point is that after looking around I was ready to make a purchase. Took the item Iwanted to the counter and addressed the employee who was standing behind facing the wall. I said "Excuse me, I'm ready. When youhave a minute, would you please help me?" Since she was facing the wall and not me, I could not see what she was doing. Sheturned around and in a patronizing, upset, fastidious tone she said "I'm making food, can you please wait? Thank you- ...Thankyou- ...Thank you" No, is not what she said that made me upset. The tone and attitude. Patronizing a customer is never a goodidea. There was no hand sanitizer anywhere in the store. The employee was wearing a face mask, which by the way I'm thankfulfor, I would had been even more disappointed and upset if I had seen her face. I have no idea about the quality of the products.There are tables for people to seat and eat. I would not want to be in a place where employees are too busy doing "their job" tobe troubled by customers. We are their job and customer service is king. Very disappointed with the employee. I walked outwithout buying anything. Definitely do not recommend visiting this place. Read more
This place is the bomb! The staff is friendly. The environment is cool and relaxing. Parking is pretty plentiful. It?s a good... relaxing environment, especially for studying. They do not have WiFi at the moment, but for me that cool because it limitsdistractions. I absolutely love the staff. They are the best. I hope management is treating you well because you all deserve it! Read more
This place is one of the nicest yet most affordable coffee places around. Where others charged about $5 for a simple iced... coffee, monarca was $2.65 and just as good. The best part is their pastries. Very much worth a stop! Read more
Large selection of pastries (which they will warm up for you if you ask), cakes, and coffee. I am a big fan of the cinnamon... rolls, though they are better when warmed up. However the $5 breakfast biscuit sandwiches are a big disappointment as thesandwich was small overall and taste wise biscuit overwhelmed the tiny bit of egg and single slice of bacon. This location isbright and open, this place is a great place to sit and enjoy your food. If you drive, there is plenty of parking nearby. Staffwas very friendly. Read more
