Cafe De Leche PCC
Building E / Louis Agassiz, Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“Cafe De Leche PCC in Pasadena serves up genuinely excellent specialty drinks—their cold beverages and creative offerings like Horchata with Espresso really shine—plus homemade pastries and banana bread that keep people coming back in a warm, pretty space with free parking. The vibe is distinctly family-friendly and perfect for lingering over a pour over, though espresso drinks can be a bit hit-or-miss day to day, and you might encounter some variable service depending on who's behind the counter. That said, recent visitors report meaningful improvement and genuine warmth from the staff, making it a solid neighborhood spot worth revisiting.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Came here on Monday at about 5:30pm. The guy taking my order was very pleasant. If I come back if and get the same treatment, I might have to up the service to 5 stars. Ordered the Horchata with Espresso, was very good. Needed a bit more Horchata flavor. I'm definitely going…
I wanted to update this review. I came back recently again and it's a huge improvement. Staff are friendly, and the drinks that I've had so far are good. They've done justice to the original location that's in Highland Park. My go-to drinks so far: Vanilla latte (definitely…
For a coffee and lattes it's really 50/50 on how good it will be day to day. Any other drink, cold or hot is amazing. Their banana bread is one of my favorites. Customers service is amazing as well!
