Crema's Take

This airy Pasadena outpost feels like a coffee lover's refuge with its half-outdoor nook and thoughtful espresso program that shines brightest in straightforward single-origin lattes and pour-overs rather than their more experimental creations. The spacious layout and friendly staff create a genuine sit-and-linger vibe, especially if you arrive early when the energy is fresh, though consistency seems to depend on when you visit. It's the kind of place worth stopping for if you're in the neighborhood and want to spend real time with your coffee.

Beautiful half outdoor coffee nook, great staff offering an enticing menu and a flight! Tried that ginger and matcha and well, nothing amazing, oddly the other single lattes seemed better and had proper balance. Us seven got quite a bit of the menu however Lavender and Honey and Jones Coffee both took the top ranking for my vacation espresso escapades!

it’s a spacious shop with a good vibe. the iced americano is a bit bigger than i usually have and a bit too watery for my liking but still acceptable. once is enough for me.

Stopped in because I was next door and needed to waste 20 minutes. My first and last visit ever lol. They say first impressions matter. Day old muffin for $6!!! from not very warm staff including a barista who basically gave me a death stare for coming in before closing time. I get it, everyone hates the customer who comes in before closing, but the store is open and the door is open, so people are going to come in. Anyway, no need to go to chains like this that aren't really excited to have you, when there are tons of locally owned spots you can go to.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters is always one of my favorite coffee brands—always a hit, never a miss. The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Parking is available in the back, and there’s a cozy outdoor seating area that’s perfect for hanging out. Definitely has that hipster vibe with a modern touch. Always happy to come back.

Stumbled on this gem after enjoying a Mother’s Day breakfast next door - wanted to treat myself to an extra coffee and had a lovely experience here! We tried their Rose Gold Latte and their season Cherry Vanilla Latte and loved them both! The Rose Gold Latte is a heavenly rose and honey concoction that had a perfectly balanced flavor profile between the two and wasn’t overly sweet. We tried it hot and it was very smooth and decorative as well. But the Cherry Vanilla Latte (iced) was the clear winner for me - again not too sweet and an excellent amount of cherry and vanilla which complimented each other well. These Oregon-based coffee roasters make their syrups in house and certainly know their blends as well. The coffees were smooth and delicious. Their prices are a tad higher than other spots but the quality is there and I will definitely stop by next time I’m in the area. Service was friendly and efficient - and our lattes were ready pretty quickly! There’s plenty of cozy corners to sit in and enjoy your brews - the decor is chic minimalist in primary colors. Very relaxing vibes. They had a large merch wall too. Parking is free street parking and seemed plentiful. They have a decent location in a cute, walkable neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. And HomeState is right next door with the best queso and chips in SoCal!
