Jones Coffee Roasters
1006 Mission St, South Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“This homey, two-story vintage gem in South Pasadena has been roasting since 1993, and it shows—exposed brick walls, a second-floor window overlooking Mission Street where you can catch the metro rumble by, and that perfect lived-in feeling that makes you want to linger for hours. Whether you're nursing their smooth nitro cold brew, working through your laptop, or just people-watching from the outdoor patio, there's a genuine sense of community here, bolstered by their commitment to ethical sourcing and support for local artists. It's the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood institution precisely because it actually is one.”

a homey vintage style coffee shop with outdoor and second floor seating overlooking mission street. this a coffee shop good for chilling, read a book or work.
Very cool spot, right by a metro station so you get to see a train 🚃 rumble by when you're in their second story window. Perfect for people watching, small gatherings, and getting quality work done on a book or laptop. The coffee was earthy, refreshing and flavorful so I was definitely going to bring a bag of their roast home with me too. And they even have 🍨 ice cream for affogatos and a scoop for a quick bite. Staff was very friendly and helpful, the ambiance was cute and I would gladly return here for all my remote work! Great job!!!
Jones Coffee Roasters (est 1993) is a family run coffee company in South Pasadena. This coffee shop is a two story building with brick exposed interior/exterior walls. Their atmosphere has a cool vibe, staff were competent and professional and drinks are reasonably priced. They have a compendious selection of coffee from blends to seasonal to decafs. Similarly, they have teas, mugs, and merch for sale. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. I have known this cafe for years but never really had the chance until now. I ordered a Cafe Au Lait (M) x whole milk. It was brewed great! Overall, I enjoyed my coffee and service. I’d definitely come back. I highly recommend them.
Love this place and everything it stands for! From sourcing their coffee ethically to supporting local artists and using the honor system! Great coffee and baked goods! I wish the service was slightly better yet I got them in their rush time Yet this place is everything I love about humanity So thank you for being the outsider serving coffee in real mugs in a world that only do to go cups! Thank you, count me as a regular from now on !
I’ve been to the other location in Pasadena but this one had a better outdoor setup. I had their nitro and it was smooth and perfect for the morning. Lots of solid seating options and a great spot for breakfast. I think this was where they filmed parts of the Michael Myers movie too. I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items.
