Wonderful place to relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee. It's very spacious and the customer service is nice. The bathroom is very tidy And they have some specialty soaps and lotions in there. But overall their coffee is so darn good!

Latte was strong, sweet, with a little bite, just like my wife

The Reverse Orangutan at the Union Cowork in Glendora is easily the best coffee shop within a 10 mile radius. They serve great coffee drinks (haven't tried the tea) & I've enjoyed their honey-processed drip coffee (black) & hot lattes (whole milk, unflavored) multiple times. I recently tried a cold brew on a hot afternoon after hearing they had a house-made Baklava syrup. It was good and I'll try it in a hot latte next time as I think the syrup works best in hot drinks since ice makes thinks taste less sweet. The owner (I've only met Jamil) is super-helpful & easy to talk to. I asked him & his baristo about what electric kettles they used at the shop & they both proceeded to tell me their home set up & Jamil even walked into the back to show me his Bonavita. My only suggestion is that they expand into downtown Glendora as the coffee I've had there is terrible and somehow more expensive than TRO. Downtown needs their serious gourmet $hit.

I stopped here for the first time about two and half years ago after hiking up in Glendora. I honestly can't get enough. The only complaint I have is that they are a bit too far for me to visit more often. The aesthetic, the branding, the customer service, the pastries, THE ESPRESSO, they didn't miss a single thing. My first drink was actually made by Jamil and he has held to that same standard to this day. I recently wrote a review for another place with one of the best iced oat milk lattes in Orange County, but I think I can honestly say that Reverse has the best in Southern California. I can't wait till we get a new spot in Claremont. It's not the same without you.(The picture is the first drink I ever ordered, a hot oat milk latte).

The two young men in the shop were super friendly and genuinely good people. The manager ( I think) was very knowledgeable with the beverages and the tea and coffee my friend and I had were excellent. Thank you - we will be back! :)

Cool dope coffee spot. Gonna come here regularly. Clean, good coffee, good service, hard to beat. They also have office and work spaces to rent!!!

I came here with my girl because the review was so good! As a person with South East Asia background, I was hoping they have more of exotic coffee beans, but they only offer Guatemalan and Ethiopian.I think they mislead me with their name by using 'Orangutan' because that exotic animal is from Indonesia, and that country carries a lot of good coffee beans.I was hoping they carry Sumatran beans or other stuff, but they only carry regular ones...The taste of both drinks (house brew and latte) are so-so. They put too much milk on my latte, so I only taste hot milk as my drink..Such a disappointment, but I hope they will improve because their branding has more potential than the product.

Definitely the best coffee shop in Glendora. I generally don't like most coffee shops as I find them to taste very similar to each other. But this place is very good! They pay attention to the dosages and milk to coffee ratio by scale which is very rare but makes all the difference.

Great service, good vibes and tasty cold press coffee -- will definitely be coming back.

Coffee is amazing. This place was recommended. I was looking for something strong, Nick, my barista, recommended the vanilla latte. I prefer it hot but I also tried the Iced. Both were great. The coffee tastes fresh and it was the perfect blend of flavor and coffee. Located in Glendora, California. My next visit I will definitely purchase coffee to brew at home. Dine in is available and plenty of parking available in back. If you're a coffee lover like me, you must visit this place at least once. Enjoy!
