The Coffee Tale

Nice, cozy cafe. The coffee can be pretty hit or miss. I usually order espresso drinks and sometimes they come out quite bad like this cappuccino.

This is a great place to grab a cup of coffee. If you have the time to sit down and enjoy your coffee I would really recommend it. They also serve great pastries. Their lemon bars and their baklava are very delicious. You can also order a great cup of Turkish coffee and you get a Turkish delight with it. I really enjoy coming to this spot whenever I am around the area. Don't miss stopping by when you come to Old World or Bella Terra.

Excellent tasting coffee. Freshly roasted beans from Brazil. Highest quality and organic. You can taste the difference in the superb espresso and espresso based drinks. And yummy homemade desserts. And an inviting sitting area, both inside and out

Absolutely love this place , very friendly staff and great vibes . Quiet place to work lots of comfy seating . Also coffee is great , doesn’t reek of capitalism like Starbucks

This used to be a cafe that I would drive an hour to go to when I used to live in Rosemead. But the last time I went, the girl baristas were super rude. After I ordered, I had gone outside to take a phone call. The call took a long while and I forgot about my drink. They threw it away and were upset when I came in to get it. And then resentfully made me another one. Who does that? I'm literally standing outside! 15 feet away. Just let me know it's ready instead of throwing it out. You're a small family owned cafe. My entire family owns businesses and it's to your advantage to have some courtesy. Sometimes people come to your place because you provide a unique atmosphere. I mean--you're not necessarily easy to find. Now I live a mile away and I'm too disappointed to return. But def needed to get this off my chest. I hope the staff is now nicer.

Used to come here all the time to study and get caffeinated. But my latest visit will be the last. I was so excited to use my birthday coupon for $4 off, but when I showed it to the barista she said it was expired. I showed her the date and the expiration on the email was clearly stated as January 9, 2024. She still refused to accept my birthday coupon, sent to me on December 10, 2023 by The Coffee Tale itself. Call me old-fashioned or persnickety, but when a business lures you in under the premise of a discount only to refuse to honor its own promotion... we call that a shady business practice. The old bait and switch. Keep penny pinching, rationing your wifi, and cutting costs everywhere you can The Coffee Tale. Y'all are clearly on your way out.

I was looking for a coffee house open in the Christmas day and stopped there, the place is amazing it's cozy and looks like historical house, coffee is amazing and staff very friendly
