Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters
260 Allen Ave, Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“Jameson Brown roasts their beans in-house, delivering some of Pasadena's freshest coffee in a beautifully textured, spacious space that feels worth the parking hunt. The espresso-focused menu shines through classics like their cortado and iced Americano, while their apple danish has inspired genuine devotion among regulars seeking the perfect pastry pairing. This is the kind of roastery where you can settle in for a slow sit with your laptop or meet a friend, knowing both your coffee and the atmosphere will be thoughtfully executed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

This space is beautiful for a roaster and the flavors justify the means! I got my standard cortado which is my measurement for coffee quality and flavor outside of a pure espresso - and I must say, the amount of savory umami flavors from this cup was out of this world. There was…
