Crema's Take

Penny Oven's house-made bread and pastries are genuinely excellent—the buttery danishes and fresh orange juice alone justify a visit—and the backyard vibe with outdoor seating and a kids' play area makes it feel like a neighborhood gem rather than just another LA coffee spot. Coffee here leans traditional rather than adventurous, but the whole package of friendly service, easy parking, and quality ingredients works beautifully for a leisurely weekend brunch with friends or family. Fair warning: the food can be inconsistent (some hit, some miss), so go for the pastries and don't expect mind-blowing mains.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Lovely cozy atmosphere. Vanilla latte and avocado toast were delicious.

If you appreciate high-quality ingredients and well-made food, this is the place. I stumbled upon it by chance while visiting Pasadena and I’m so glad I did. Great food, great vibe, and kid-friendly. I’d recommend it without hesitation.

Very friendly atmosphere. Easy street parking. Service was attentive. Food and coffee was good. Came here on a weekday holiday and there was no wait for a table. Plenty of outdoor seating along the sidewalk too. I will be coming back soon!

I was a little disappointed with the food. I ordered the dutch baby and unfortunately I found it bland and flavorless. However, my partner loved the steak benny and sticky bun, and we both enjoyed the hemp cacao iced coffee (I would come back for that!).

We have no complaints at all for this eatery. The house made bread is delicious. The danish is buttery and flaky. Orange juice is fresh They even provide a small play area for kids which I appreciate. You can also find some pantry items at the eatery. Strongly recommended.
