There aren’t a lot of places that bring me joy like this place. On a base level the coffee makes me happy, their cold brew is rock solid. their pastries? forget about it, i can’t leave without getting a cranberry oat cookie and i can’t live without the lime carlota. The vibe is perfect for studying or getting work done.

One of the best Family Own and Ran Bakery/Pastry shops I’ve been to in a very long time! We visit a lot coming from Denver and will continue to keep coming back to this spot! The owner is one of the most Genuine and Friendly people you will ever meet! We had our kids with us Halloween Day and he went out of his way to give them candy and treats. One of the most kindest persons I’ve ever met. Please give this Family Owned place your business.

Delicious food, refreshing drinks, and excellent service. This cafe is located in a convenient part of town. Their menu has many authentic Mexican drinks such as Oaxacan chocolate, cafe de olla, and Mazapan latte. The atmosphere here is also very calming

Super cute café conveniently located right next to the Arcadia metro station. Very clean and bright inside with plenty of shaded outdoor seating. The staff are friendly, and the owners really care about delivering quality products. I had an iced lavender latte (medium sweet) and banana bread, and they were both delicious! The banana bread was a huge portion - easily a shareable size - and so tasty! All the pastries are made fresh in house. I can’t wait to try more! The latte was smooth with just a slight acidity. I think I’ll try less sweet next time, but if you like sweeter coffee drinks the medium sweetness would be perfect. Overall, a great spot I look forward to coming back to!

Everything is fresh and prepared there!You must try churro cheescake, its so delicious, I tried the Gokí Mocha and the barista explained to me that they prepare it with actual artisanal chocolate they bring from a Village in Oaxaca, I will definitely come back and try the Mazapán Matte and pan de elote, it looked so delicious!

Love this local coffee shop. They have the best pastries! They have fresh options for lunch and really yummy tea and aqua frescas for the non coffee drinkers out there. The inside is really nice, great place to get some work done or have a meeting.

This awesome place in the heart of Arcadia is one of my favourite coffee shops. My recomendations are the Mocha with chocolate from Oaxaca and the Mazapan latte. They are also experts baking deserts: I love the corn bread 😛 and the cookies are superior to those from other places 🍪. To those hungry, they also have something special, like the red mole with chicken tortas.

What a great place for coffee and lite fair. A Mexican theme that will rival any great coffee shop in Mexico City or Guadalajara or any US city. A wonderful asset for Arcadia. Easy access from 210 if you need a respit. Just a few blocks.

I had about 8 mins. to kill before the train came, it was hot, and I was thirsty, so I decided to hop in an check this place out. Opening right before the pandemic, I knew this place hasn’t seen much foot traffic. I decided to get the energy smoothie, and it was a great choice!Matcha, Mango, and Pineapple makes a great combination for this type of smoothie.The inside Ambience was poppy and awaking! From the inside you have a great view of the Arcadia Metro Train Station, and is a very quick walk to the train platform from across the street. Their outside seating arrangement has great views of the San Gabriel Mountains as well. This little cafe in the heart of Arcadia is a must try, as I know it would end up being a favorite spot for many off the train.

Great place is amazing! The owners pour their hearts and soul into the Café. The quality of the coffee is outstanding as is the freshness of their baked goods. We had the triple chocolate cake as well as the raspberry cake. They were super fresh and delicious. Patty, who owns the shop with her husband, makes everything fresh and from scratch. They even have a gluten-free option. We had Mocha Latte. Just delicious made with real cacao. Their packaging also is beautiful. We were proud to bring our cake home. It definitely makes a great gift. You can tell a lot about people by the way they take care of details. This family is very detail-oriented. They care about their products and their clients. This Café needs all the support we can give them. They are a family-owned business and they love what they do. They had the courage to open in the middle of the pandemic. Lets support them so they can ride the pandemic. Go and try it out. You wont regret it. Amazing hospitality, baked goods, and coffee. A must visit.

Good customer service and very accommodating staff. All fresh handmade Mexican inspired beverages and pastries, they use no powdered mixes or syrup pumps. They roast their own custom source coffee beans. I enjoyed my iced horchata latte with real horchata flavor. Clean modern dining area and restroom and outdoor seating with WiFi. Located just off the Santa Anita Gold Line station. Manager was amicable and shared the story of his family business. They love what they do, and even opened during the lockdown, their passion shows in the quality of their product. This place is a gem amongst the low-quality big chain cafes and a unique business model in the Arcadia area. Totally recommend.

Goki Café was a delightful surprise! My iced coffee was the perfect strength and had a super flavor. My husbands chai latte was delicious. I couldnt believe how enormous their pastries are. I definitely want to try the flan next time. The parking lot can be a little challenging to get in to, but totality worth it.

Goki Café is a new cute corner family owned Mexican cafe in Arcadia located on a small plaza. It’s name means “royal or noble” en Zapoteco. They offer traditional sandwiches such as mole torta con pollo. Similarly, they have baked goods, coffee, lattes, teas, juices & shakes. Interior atmosphere was very welcoming and chill. It’s interior design was well conceived and spacious. Furthermore, it was clean, neat, well lit and organized.I came here as a first time customer to have breakfast. I ordered their Turkey ham y panela and reg drip coffee. Turkey sandwich (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and white dressing) was tasty and delicious. It came with sliced jalapeños and mini cracker sticks on the side. Coffee was good and perfectly brewed that was served in a classy translucent mug. Staff were amiable, attentive and professional. Furthermore, they were wearing gloves and mask. Service was moderately fast. Free WiFi and power outlets available for your laptops or electronic device. Prices were fair, affordable and competitive. This cafe has so much potential in becoming a successful business. Overall, I had a good dine in experience and good breakfast. I highly recommend this cafe.

So glad I stumbled across this coffee/bakery shop. Family owned and operated baking their own pastries, AMAZING and serving coffee from Veracruz where the owners wife is from. Plenty of space to sit inside and out, or take to go. Riquísimo y excelente atención, voy a llegar cada vez que estoy cerca.

Goki Cafe is located right across the Arcadia Gold Line Station and LA Fitness. They have a small lot to accommodate customers but if they are full, there is plenty of street parking!Their menu consists of a variety of drinks, from tea to coffee and smoothies! They have specialty beverages, and a unique Oaxaca chocolate drink that you can order hot or cold depending on the season! I enjoy the smoothies, though depending on who makes them, it can be too icy and not fruity enough so be sure to try it while youre there. I recommend the Strawberry Banana Smoothie, or a B.Y.O (Build Your Own) if youre feeling frisky. They also have sandwiches if you need a quick pick me up for lunch.Everyone at the cafe is also very friendly, they occasionally have seasonal items for purchase. On one of my visits, they gave us all snowflake waffle that is supposed to be eaten on new years day! Traditionally served in a clay pot where you can throw once finished!Fun cafe to visit, will come back soon to try out their desserts. The cakes have been calling my name for a while now!

What an amazing new coffee shop ! As a Mexican expat I can attest to the many Mexican options authenticity, especially the cafe de olla. There are more options, such as a succulent Oaxaca hot chocolate, amazing molletes (popular Mexican brunch), and an original torta de mole.The shop is family owned, and you see them all working there, which gives it a good vibe, besides getting a chance to chat and hear stories about the state from which they are from (Oaxaca).Definitely a stop to make while in Arcadia!!
