My new favorite cafe!! Black/indigenous owned, amazing food and coffee, great service, and friendly staff. Nice to sit and relax or study, free street parking, right next to Lake Montebello.

Arcola’s food and coffee has a reputation that precedes itself. I didn’t come in today thinking I was going to have one of, if not THE best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The BLTP (blt with homemade pickle) is INSANE. Get one, or six, or thirteen now.

Hubby and I stopped in on a chilly crisp Sunday morning around 8:30a. It was not too busy, service was impeccable, playlist on point, and the Dam Jam AMAZING. Great coffee too 💙

Lovely new cafe in the area. Stopped in for a cortado and latte and they were both great! Really nice atmosphere with relaxing music, books everywhere, plenty of seating, and lots of natural light. I’ll definitely be back!

Love arcola. It's amazing to have a community cafe that's so beautiful and welcoming. Only problems are the bakery items are pretty terrible, always dry and poor quality.

First time here at Arcola Cafe. Took a little walk at Lake Montebello then went to the cafe for a treat. We had coffee, chai tea, and shared an egg and cheese breakfast Sammie on their homemade everything bagel. We loved the intimate, warm and relaxing atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

Delicious coffee, period! I enjoyed my mocha latte very much (I wanted a second by the time I finished the first!). Staff were super pleasant and engaging. It was a real treat visiting!

Locally owned coffee shop. For my first visit, I had an iced strawberry matcha latte and it was really good. One of the two business owners was there and we chatted while he made my drink, nice guy. Look forward to going back to try more drinks and the baked goods.
