22 Best Coffee Roasters near Altadena

“A good morning starts with a cup of black coffee! I like watching the mountains and enjoying a good cup of coffee best.Great store! This is the best morning coffee experience since I came to the United States. There is a quiet atmosphere and elements of a big city. I like the feeling of international integration, just like here!?“

“Our morning ritual used to involve bludgeoning ourselves into a semblance of consciousness with the heavy-hand of a generic dark roast. It was an effective if inelegant solution to parenthood. Aqaurela's beans provide a different experience. We are by no means coffee experts, but my wife and I were surprised by the nuances in smell and taste when we tried their Deus Me Livre for our morning espresso. It's a lighter feel; almost refreshing. The morning cup feels a bit indulgent, yet not so rich as to make your mouth feel overwhelmed. We could see this pairing very well as an after-dinner treat with any manner of desserts. The best part is that this is simply a fantastic company to work with. Quick, fast delivery. Prompt follow-up to make sure we were completely satisfied. And all questions answered - when we noted that we typically prefer darker roasts, one of the owners explained that their goal was to make a medium-roast whose flavors would still hold up to a coordination with cream and sugar. It's a throwback to days where customer service and the personal touch were still important. This is a small business whose goal of promoting independent farmers is admirable and worthy of our support. Thank you!“

“Super cute coffee shop inside office building! My husband and I loved the well-balanced lattes that were recommended to us. Can’t recall his name, but barista from Austin was super attentive, and invited us back. We truly were inspired about coming back with his invitation.“

“ISRAEL was so kind, welcoming - warm and professional. I had come in once before and a young guy - NOT ISRAEL had such a poor attitude, was rude and incredibly indifferent. I was hesitant to come back in. But Israel made it worth it. The coffee is really good. And the place is quiet and quaint.“

“Canyon Coffee literally shook my world. My brother and I were visiting from Florida, doing what we always do - in search of the BEST coffee shop experiences imagineable. Canyon blew our expectations out of the water. We were greeted by the coolest cat, Carlos, with a bold, yet incredibly friendly stature. He knew the menu like the back of his hand. I landed on the eloquent “Hot Japanese Brown Sugar Latte”. LIKE WHAT!! Craft of the craft, one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. Yes, “my bro and I are twins”, I told him. Little did I know we were about to be served a delectable slice of perfectly baked Banana Sesame bread made by a local queen. Impressively moist. Yep, I said it. From the time we walked in, we felt like we were home. A pleasant experience all the way around.Dialed in coffee. Amazing service. Great chats. Insanely styled atmosphere. Food was unreal. Phenomenal experience. We will be back for more… one day. Bring this to Florida asap please.“

“Tony the store manager took great care of me. I came in aggravated because my old machine wasn't working and had been back and forth with Nespresso phone customer service twice. I was ready to retire my use of Nespresso but assuming the new machine works as it should, they've regained a dedicated customer, thanks to Tony.“

“Very friendly staff but understaffed. So we had to keep asking/reminding them for orders not brought out. The code was also cold which is a bummer because otherwise it would have been really good. The food was good but my male coworkers complained the portions were too small.“

“This is the only place I buy coffee beans! Kip is very kind and knowledgeable. If he doesn't have a roast you like, he'll roast it for you and have it in a couple days. All of the roasts and beans I've tried have been incredible. Can't beat the quality or freshness.“

“Coffee + bagels = Best coffee shop ever!It was a great experience. They make their begs in house. The coffee was fantastic! 1802 had enough room for sitting and outlets. Great place to work, study, and chill.For the all the Filipinos out there! 1802 is also Filipino own. Support your local bayan.“

“I was looking for a local roaster in town , since I've recently purchase an espresso machine . Met Scott the owner , he was very informative about his products. Great customer service, and he even made me a shot espresso ! Will be coming back for more beans once I run out !“

“I enjoyed my coffee here. I got a basic latte and it was as expected but was good. It was busy but I found some seating in the bench by the wall. The sunlight when it hits make the space really nice but sometimes was a bit hard to see. There was a decent amount of seating though and the space was quiet and nice for getting work done.“

“I asked, "how did you end up choosing coffee as your passion?" And he replied, "I wouldn't call it a passion, it's more of an obsession." I told him it's the best coffee drink I've ever had, and he said that "it's not perfect yet, I'm still chasing the perfection." Can't wait to keep coming back to be able to drink his "perfect" drink.“

“Absolutely love Jones! Great coffee and food, friendly staff, and best of all it's an actual community hub. They have live music almost every day and works by local artists up on the walls. There are regulars who come for the shows and end up becoming friends. How many places like this exist anymore?? The only downside is that parking is very limited. But it's worth it. Highly recommend the lavender latte, honey bran muffin, and a bag of Bourbon Rojo beans to take home.“

“Why go to the large MegaCoffee when there's a local coffee shop literally a block away? The menu is pretty much just espresso-based drinks and tea-- you won't find your mocha-frappa-venti-ccino-extra-syrup coffee flavored milkshakes here. But if your thing in the morning is a strong, expertly prepared coffee and maybe a pastry, skip the line and head over to Reborn.“

“My friend parked near the park entrance and then we walked to the shop. The draft oat milk latte was the stuff of vegan dreams (been vegan since 2011, who would’ve thought this would be life in 2024!). I will be back every time I’m in LA.“

“Our new favorite spot in Glendale! We ordered a barrel aged almond milk latte and the bourbon old fashioned which were both phenomenal. The bourbon whiskey notes were amazing. The baristas were also so friendly and welcoming which made it an even better experience.Definitely can't wait to be back!“

“Everything about this place is great - I walk here from my apartment at least 3-4 times a week to start my day. All of the staff members are wonderful and the coffee is always *chefs kiss*.I feel like the only thing missing is a “sit down” atmosphere. I would love to be able to come sit inside and work for a couple of hours to start the day. Couple hours of work, couple coffee and a baked good… then I’d come everyday, no questions asked. But regardless - one of my favorite places in town!“

“One of the best coffee shops in LA. Cafecito cubano con leche is one of the best I’ve tried so far. It’s strong as well as smooth at the same time. And tres leches muffin was just delicious. Highly recommend coffee aficionados to check out and try this “

“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.“

“I was not expecting this to be a full menu cafe but it is. Gorgeous location with more than enough seating and atmosphere and so much more than simply coffee! I stopped in for breakfast. Great coffee & pastries! I shall return for lunch soon!“

“This place is INCREDIBLE. I got a hot chocolate because I typically don’t like coffee, but their mocha has NO bitterness to it, so I ended up with two drinks. The staff is so friendly and the place itself is so cute to sit and hang out in.“
