Mandarin 2
3768 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“Mandarin 2 brings thoughtful espresso craftsmanship to a bright, minimalist corner of Pasadena, where baristas like Eddie genuinely take time to guide you through their signature creative drinks—think their standout "One and One" that balances unique flavor combinations with pristine execution. This spacious second location feels like a natural retreat with plenty of room to linger, striking that rare balance between espresso-focused precision and a welcoming, unhurried vibe that even self-proclaimed coffee snobs find genuinely delicious.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot.
