Dots Cafe
3819 E Colorado Blvd, San Marino, CA
Crema's Take
“Dots Cafe is a cozy San Marino gem that takes both coffee and breakfast seriously, with reviewers raving about fluffy breakfast sandwiches on brioche, perfectly crafted lattes, and impressively fresh baked goods that go beyond typical cafe fare. The charming, cute atmosphere with thoughtful decor and diverse seating makes it equally welcoming whether you're grabbing a quick bite, settling in with a laptop, or meeting friends, and the reasonably priced menu means you can indulge in quality without the premium price tag. It's the kind of place that earns repeat visits, where the whole package—from the coffee to the food to the vibe—comes together to create something genuinely special.”

The food here is fire 🔥 - my fave is the absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich, with its fluffy eggs and brioche bun, but honestly all of the breakfast items are fantastic. Good coffee, great lunch sandwiches, but their “happy hour” deals are killer. Not to mention the cupcakes and desserts are killer! This might be the most underrated food spot in Pasadena. But I haven’t even mentioned the best thing about this place - the family meals that they offer from Tues-Friday every week, rotating meals all the time, not one repeated meal all month, are massive, delicious and one of the best deals in California. They can feed a huge family for one night but we usually stretch out the meal over the course of several meals per week. Insane. Bonus points: the owners might be the biggest Dodgers fans in LA. They even work with the team! Only drawback is the café, as cute as it is, is a bit empty most of the time. That’s good if you want a quiet spot to work and grab a bite, but ultimately it’s best as a grab and go spot right off the freeway.
Really good. The baked goods are fresh and of the highest quality. My latte was pefect. The atmosphere inside is nice and cozy. Next time I come here (and I will come back again) I will try a few of the different lubch options they have.
this place is very cute with a big reasonably priced menu. i liked the decor a lot and the seating options. this place just has a cute vibe. my cupcake honestly wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t bad.
Here one cupcakes store with cozy and cute theme place name : Dots Cafe. Its great for your party, with $ 24.75 you got a dozen mini cupcakes with many flavor such as : Red velvet, strawberry shortcake, vanila squarer, chocolate coconut, and for special flavor that only made on friday/saturday/sunday they got rasberry lemon and passionfruit. Its complete your party with cute cupcakes and great taste!
There is almost nothing I enjoy more than the perfect breakfast burrito. I’ve combed through a lot of LA and had countless renditions, dots is very high on my list of favorites. I got the ultimate breakfast burrito and it was delicious I’ve already been back a second time. The eggs were fluffy and creamy and pared perfectly with the cheese and avo as any true Californian appreciates. What can’t be looked passed is the crispness of the bacon. No soggy bacon here. Reasonably priced, totally worth it given the taste and portion sizes. Also pictured is the ultimate breakfast sandwich another very solid option that will not disappoint, pro tip add the sundried tomato mayo. I’ve yet to eat the cupcakes but if they are anything close to the breakfast they will be the cherry on top of a perfect meal. Overall dots is a great location for a brunch and for those who have sweet teeth like me. The bright floral aesthetic and calming vibes make for a great start to a lazy Sunday.
