Absolutely perfect espresso and perfectly steamed cortado (aka Gibraltar or Piccolo). The hot cocoa was also a hit. Clean and unassuming space, nice and cool interior on a hot day. Great, competent staff, no annoying forced enthusiasm. My kinda place! I saw a review complaining about the temperature not being hot enough. Having your espresso machine hotter than 200 makes bad espresso, steaming the milk over 140 explodes the nitrates and changes it from delicious, sweet perfectly structured steamed milk to a gross scalded mess that can irritate people’s stomachs. Stop trying to ruin good, properly crafted espresso you monster!
Pros: delicious coffee and food. They make a lot of sauces in house. Great, positive work force. Parking is easy. Seating is generally available to work or read. Cons: hard seats (wooden benches, metal chairs, wood seats). Outlets are scattered and not guaranteed. This could easily be fixed if the Coffee shop invested in some extension cords and strip cords. Neutral: This is a pricier coffee shop (example $7 specialty latte+tax, but it is delicious). If the owner reads this comment, please consider adding extension cords/strip plugs underneath the wall seats. Also consider getting some comfier seating or cushions.
The best vanilla latte I have had. Not overly sweet, so the flavors of the coffee and the fresh vanilla come through beautifully. I love when a drink is actually thoughtfully crafted with quality ingredients!! You can taste the difference.
Excellent service ‘ the coffee was delicious . The place is super cute will be coming back again . The coffe had good flavor you can tell the baristas knew what they were doing .. we ordered a flat white with oat milk

Cute little local coffee shop with super friendly service. I got the iced vanilla latte made with real Madagascar vanilla beans, and I thought it was decent. I also bought a jar of their unique black sesame butter.
Easily the best coffee in the Pasadena/Sierra Madre area and even up there as my favorite coffee spot in LA. Every drink is always crafted with care and the staff are so sweet and kind!
Music is inconsistent if that matters. Coffee.jpg is figuring out what direction they want to go as a coffee shop. Capitalizing on quality and supporting local businesses is a plus.
Staff is very friendly. Coffee selections are culturally diverse which sets it apart in the neighborhood. Food options also extend beyond pastries with plenty of healthy options.

Espresso was sour, staff unfriendly. Bathroom is moldy. Glad I tried it so I know not to go back.
Superb freshly ground coffee hits the mark! Cookie was delicious.
