Reviews for Café De Olla Restaurant in Monrovia, CA
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. Mydaughter's meal was good, chicken nuggets with fruit. And they gave her a good amount of fruit so she was pretty happy. Read more
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 wallsand get the speciality plates and items here. Coffee is amazing as well, but it should be since that is their name. Make sure touse the on line wait list and be ready to wait a little on weekends, but it?s worth it. Read more
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 tofind and order. There are sweet breads for snacking before the meal and they are great. The food was cooked perfectly. Crispybacon, perfectly poached eggs, sausages, and the waffle was one of the best I've ever had. Monica, I believe was her name, wasa fantastic waitress. We went for an early lunch/late breakfast on a weekday so it wasn't crowded. The place was clean andcasual. All in all a great place. Much bigger and more refined than the very small location in Burbank. The pricing wasgreat. We are a lot of food and ended up totalling about 15 dollars a person. Read more
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, tothe service, and even the plain hot coffee. I got the El Paisano omelet with the has browns and sourdough toast. The sauces thatthe omelet was covered in were very delicious. My hash brown wasn't really crispy so make sure you ask for them "well done". Thecafe gets PACKED closer to lunch time so make sure you either come early or make plans to wait. I got there around 8:30am andhad to wait about 15 minutes. Despite the long wait times, the service is excellent. All the waiters are extremely friendly andare always looking to refill your water or coffee. Read more
It was my second visit to dine in at this location. I truly enjoy the very laid back atmosphere and the pan dulce cart that they... offer. I ordered the San Ignacio and Chorreadas with asada. I also ordered the Chiccuras plate previously. I will be back to tryout the other offerings on the menu. Read more
