Klatch Coffee

Best Vanilla Bean Latte I've ever had! 😋 Perfection: proportion of sweet to coffee flavor was spot on! "The Favorite" is definitely my favorite - egg, bacon, avocado, tomato and red onions - and I asked for it in a gluten-free tortilla. Yum! All the staff are friendly and professional! Establishment is very clean with several tables & chairs. My new favorite coffee shop!

Finally tried this local coffee shop after years of passing by and had a fantastic experience! I got a 24oz Javalanche which is their equivalent of a Venti Starbucks Frappuccino and it was blended smooth with no ice chunks and contained superb quality coffee. They have a very polite staff plus their online ordering process is fast and simple. Free parking in lot.

I had past by the Rancho Cucamonga location many times before and had wanted to try it out. I finally made it to the the one in San Marino. We ordered a hot apple cider, coffee and banana nut muffin (warm). The cider was great they add a piece of orange peel and a piece of cinnamon stick. The coffee was weak. I asked if they had a bold blend which the cashier informed me they didn't. The muffin was just ok. It was supposed to be warm but honestly it wasn't. We would go back for another cider but that's about it. Unfortunately the cider is probably seasonal so we might not go back till next year.

Surprisingly hadn't already tried this coffee shop that's in what used to be a Starbucks. Saw they had a creme brulee latte & was enticed to try it out Saturday morning.

ITEM'S ORDERED:

Cold Brew
Iced Creme Brulee Latte (breve, w/extra shot)
Iced Vanilla Bean Latte (breve, w/extra shot)

TASTE:

I ordered both lattes with an extra espresso shot because I figured they'd be quite sweet which they were. But luckily the flavor was still good, but I feel like the drink would have been more to my taste if I added at least 2 (maybe 3) extra shots. Then again I like very strong coffees.

Also ordered both lattes breve, which is basically half & half instead of what would usually be milk. Makes it much creamier & even just a little more viscous.

The creme brulee flavor is executed through what seems to be a combination of vanilla syrup & caramel sauce. It's actually a pretty good flavor, & I feel the caramel flavor just accentuates the vanilla flavor in a nice way. Not sure I'd be able to recognize this as creme brulee specifically though, but is it good.

The Vanilla Bean Latte taste like a well made version of a vanilla latte. I do think I somewhat expected maybe a little stronger of a vanilla flavor since they call this "vanilla bean". But even so it's still one of the better versions of this drink I've had.

If you're torn between the Vanilla Bean Latte or the Creme Brulee just go with the Creme Brulee. It's really just a better version of the Vanilla Latte in my opinion.

Cold Brew is a solid cold brew. Good coffee strength & flavor. I've had plenty of cold brews that are just too "watery" & this one is not that.

SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING:

Service was not bad but also not that super welcoming friendly service. Partly because it was very busy. Not sure if it's always this busy on a later Saturday morning.

Not sure if they were understaffed, or just got hit with a random rush, because it did seem overwhelmingly busy for 4 people to handle. Props to the staff working hard, but even so people including myself were waiting quite awhile for drinks. Ordered for pickup through Doordash & my order was ready at least 15 min after the estimated time.

They are located on Huntington (& San Gabriel) in the Trader Joe's shopping center. Very easy to find & lot's of parking. Just be careful because it's one way only through the parking lot lanes.

When I'm looking to indulge in a sweeter coffee I think I've found a new "go to" in the Creme Brulee Latte here at Klatch.

I generally do not like oat milk, but a barista offered me a sample of the oat milk capp on tap and had me convinced. It’s quite good. The blueberry muffin is a bit too sweet for my taste.

I love Klatch. The Hot Creme Brulee drink is my fave! Also the Wrap breakfast and coffee cake! I wish I was there RIGHT now!

We got their infamous vanilla bean latte. Their coffee tasted okay, not too shabby but also not too special. I felt their vanilla bean tasted like it came from a syrup though. This place is clean with plenty of seating. They have ample parking from a shared lot with Trader Joe’s.

A little pricey, but that's probably to be expected in this area. I got the salted caramel cold brew and it was amazing! Maybe a bit sweeter than I expected from a cold brew, but then again it's got salted caramel flavoring in it so I don't think I can take issue with that lol. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a bit more of an upscale and better tasting coffee then somewhere like Starbucks.

I've really enjoyed Klatch. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I usually order the oatmilk cap on tap. Now that they are taking reusable tumblers again, I brought in my own (18 oz capacity) and ordered the 16 oz drink with no ice. When I got home I noticed that the drink was only filled to the 11 oz marker. I did not feel like driving back to make a fuss.

This was s worthwhile stop before heading to the Huntington, fueling up with coffee and some pastries. The pistachio muffin was out of this world. They also do some amazing cold drinks using the coffee berries instead of the beans. Super friendly baristas too.
