9 reviews for Classic Coffee
Nice little coffee place.
I like that the baristas have a sense of humor and are always willing to spark a conversation. The coffee is tasty, the teas are very refreshing, and they have a better variety of pastries than you will ever find at a starbucks of equal size. There is seating but on a cold day the outdoor seating is not desirable. The indoor seating is ok but does not fit a crowd.
Overall I like the place and the atmosphere.
Defiantly recommend.
Yelp advertizes this place as a bagelry but it's really just a mom and pop coffee (espresso) joint. It's located in the very quaint old town of Glendora about half a mile from Citrus JC/APU and worth the jaunt over if you have some spare time between classes or need a mid-morning pick me up. There is much more room to spread out than Starbucks (read: you can actually get a place to sit comfortably) and the coffee is much better. There is quite a bit of outdoor seating which is fantastic for the mountain view and tree lined street tranquility of the area. Another plus is they also have a lot of advertisements on their shelf for other local events and businesses which is a big plus in my book because I'm all about supporting the little guy.
They serve standard espresso drinks and I actually overheard the head honcho barista training a new guy and describing the drip times and what factors would cause the coffee to have different flavors such too course of a grind, etc. I thought it was really cool that the guy actually cared about his product and that he really understood coffee in all its nuanced forms. I don't see this happening too often at the big chains.
They also have a few pastries to accompany your caffeine fix but the bagel selection is a bit limited and the cream cheese toping is just a plastic to-go container of Philadelphia. I am almost positive the bagels are not freshed baked but they will toast upon request. I would give this place 5 stars if they had a bigger bagel selection and better cream cheese toppings such as fresh whipped but if you BYOB or decide on the bite size cheese cakes (literally about 2 bites and good enough to get the taste and won't kill your thighs) instead it's a winner.
One of my favorite cafes to hang out in. Coffee is great, atmosphere is great, staff is great.
Classic Coffee does it right. My standard is a NF Latte or when I want something a little sweet I go for a Dirty Chai - that's a Chai Latte with 1 shot of espresso. I recommend it using the spicy Chai. Sooo goood. CC's barista's know how to make a drink. Unlike Starbucks, CC can pour a good shot and knows how to properly steam milk to a beautiful creamy texture that makes your drink absolutely amazing from the first sip until the last. Plus, they offer free wi-fi which is a big plus for me. I also love grabbing a coffee and hanging out front on a nice day - great atmosphere in the Village. If only there was a Classic Coffee everywhere I go. As a stockholder in Starbucks, I could only wish they'd remember what made them successful. Classic Coffee reminds me of Starbuck's early days. But, even better. Highly recommended.
Having paid my time at the many coffeehouses in the area, I would have to say this is one of the favorites. Good music that isn't overly distracting, great selection of tea/coffee and employees that actually look like they enjoy their job- and have we mentioned the gelato? Yes, A+. It's in a cute downtown area and is a great place to go if you need to shut yourself away from the world for a while and finally get to that biology paper you've been putting off... yes that one. Bonus: they just opened up a family owned pizza place next door (one amazing slice for only 2 bucks) so get yourself an iced americano and a pepperoni slice and your ready to rock and roll.
went this morning and had an iced sugar-free almond latte (nonfat)... YUM!

the coffee is good, but when i get a latte, it seems like half of it is foam and not so much coffee.… Read more »
I stop here most weekdays, since I work at a Health Insurance Agency just down the street. I always just get drip, but it's always good and they always have a good selection with six house coffees and one that changes frequently. The service for the most part is fast and the baristas are always friendly. When I'm here I'm rushing to get to work, but if you just want to chill they have a lot of seating inside, and outside so you can take in the G-Town Village Quaintness while you get your caffeine fix.
Really quite nice. An add on to the Classic Car shop in Glendora Village. It's less crowded than Starbucks, so if you're into the social scene, no. But if you want a nice latte, frappe, chai latte and a quiet place to sit, then this is a nice environment to do so. They also have Italian cream sodas and horchata, which I thought was kinda cool. And they have all the pastries and sugary treats that always go well with your cuppa joe or tea. And you get to peruse the Classic Auto shop after...
Classy and cozy. Nice coffee shop to study, read, or just hang with friends. I come here often on my lunch break. Located in uptown Glendora. Friendly staff, the cleanest bathroom I have seen at any coffee shop, they also serve Gelato, and the music selection is always mellow and quiet.
