Crema's Take

This stylish Pasadena spot strikes a balance between serious espresso craft and laid-back hangout vibes, with a thoughtful menu of signature drinks that go beyond standard fare—their "world famous vanilla latte" is a local draw worth the splurge. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and blend of indoor and outdoor seating make it equally suited for focused work sessions or leisurely meetups, though be prepared that service can be inconsistent during peak hours. Fair prices and reliably excellent drinks keep regulars coming back, even if parking in the area requires a bit of patience.

First time to this location, and parking can be tricky, but clean and good vibes. Seating inside and out. Friendly helpful staff. Good menu, fair prices, would return and recommend.

Alfred Coffee is one of my favorite spots. The atmosphere is stylish, relaxed, and welcoming — perfect for meeting a friend or enjoying a quiet moment alone. The drinks are consistently excellent, thoughtfully made, and delicious. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel good being there. A Pasadena favorite.

Ridiculous. I can’t excuse the level of incompetence at this location. Incredibly SLOW every time I have given them a chance. You make me wait 40 minutes for an iced coffee with zero apologies, on a second visit I waited 20 minutes for just a pastry that was forgotten about while everyone after me is getting their drinks. I would be OKAY with the slow service if you could at least be courteous and apologize when you forget people and their orders which happens WAY TOO OFTEN.

A nice little coffee shop. Came here to tried their "world famous vanilla latte". It's definitely better than your average Starbucks but for almost $8 it's pretty steep. This place has limited indoor seating area, but there are a few tables outside the cafe where you can sit down and chill.
