“Great coffee at a “ventanita” style coffee shop. Order at the window, sit outside under umbrellas if you like. The chai latte was very good, heavily spiced. The croissant was good too. No indoor area, so if the weather is bad, opt for pick up“

“Whenever I find myself in Pasadena, I make it a point to stop by. As I step through the front door, the aromas are welcoming, the setting comforting, and with it a slew of memories rushes back. I discovered Jones in the early 2000’s during business trips to Pasadena. Through the years it became a must have visit, even during family trips. Leading the way is Rafael. He’s calm and welcoming and his presence is felt every where. In fact, during a 2021 visit he spotted my family and me, came over to greet us, and fondly recalled my children who he hadn’t seen in close to 8 years. It’s that type of personal attention , and good product, that has kept me coming back. Enjoy!“

“Stopped by Be Bright Coffee and ordered a cortado made with their Colombia Paola Trujillo Wush Wush Natural. The coffee had tasting notes of blood orange, red currant, honeysuckle, and tart cherry juice, which made it a really interesting coffee to experience in a milk drink.
The cortado itself was very well executed. The milk had a smooth, creamy texture with strong integration, and the body remained cohesive throughout most of the drink. As I worked my way through it, the espresso and milk continued to hold together nicely without developing a thick or separated layer of foam. The tasting notes had good clarity and came through well in the milk. The latte art could have been a little cleaner and more defined, but that’s a minor presentation detail and didn’t take away from the quality of the drink.
My main technical feedback would be the temperature. It was served just slightly hotter than I think it should have been. The flavors were still clear from the beginning, but the difference became noticeable as the cortado cooled. The coffee really opened up, and those fruit-forward characteristics became even more expressive and enjoyable. Starting the drink at that slightly lower temperature would have made the experience feel more dialed in from the very first sip.
I gave Be Bright four stars, and part of that comes down to the $10 price of the cortado. At that price point, I think the expectations naturally move into a different category. When you’re paying $10 for a cortado featuring a coffee like this, I’m expecting the execution to be as close to perfect as possible. The slightly higher serving temperature, along with the minor presentation detail, was enough to keep this one from reaching that level for me.
The customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the person working the register was especially nice and made the experience feel inviting. Overall, it was a very good cortado with quality coffee behind it, and I’d definitely return to try some of the other beans they offer.“

“Love how I can go for a walk before/after the coffee since it’s attached to the walkway. There are plenty of sitting area outdoor.
My personal downsides are that (1) their indoor tables/chairs are so short so I cannot properly get any work done. (2) they dont have a charging station. They have one plug by the entrance but that doesnt work. So inconvenient.“

“Solid coffee window! Simple and neighborly. That’s really all it boils down to when you think about an ideal situation of getting coffee in LA. There’s too much fluff lately and I appreciate a place like this that has early hours and can do a great cortado. Max is also such a solid dude. Thank you for putting a smile on our faces!“

“Great place to do some work. There's a lot of indoor and outdoor space with really nice atmosphere. My oat milk latte was good. The BLAT (bacon lettuce avocado tomato) sandwich for lunch was also good. Service was friendly and quick! Some other notes: bathroom was clean. Charging outlets only outside, none inside. Heavily visited by business people and office workers so I kinda felt out of place wearing casual clothing lol“

“A hidden gem of a cafe with great people, good coffee and a awesome patio to chill/work at. I used to travel form Coffee shop to coffee shop working remotely but now I just go here. If you spend a bunch of time working at coffee shops but prefer to do so outside I would totally recommend checking this place out.“
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great coffee spot near UCLA, In-N-Out and the chevron gas station. The barista was super friendly and kind. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with lots of room to sit. There was also a couch to chill on while you wait. Music was a vibe. Matcha was on point and made just right. Highly recommend checking out this new spot in westwood. If you work or live nearby you have to stop by. Located on the corner of Gayley and Le Conte.“

“I went on May 29th for the comedy show the owner produced, Jing! The show was super fun, and the food was good as I had a decaf carmel macchiato and breakfast burrito and it hit the spot.
Really love the atmosphere she has, it's so small and comfy! If you're looking for a good coffee spot to chill or some entertainment, check this spot out!“

“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!“

“Great vibe from the moment you walk in and there's vintage vinyl spinning. The barista (who in this case was the owner) is great, super friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely delicious coffee and the best vegan chocolate chip cookie on this earth. Cute seating by the window in green velvet chairs. For being tucked away in a little unassuming shopping center, it's a real hidden gem worth seeking out.“

“Stopped by Stereoscope for a cortado and had a really enjoyable experience. One thing that immediately stood out was the barista’s knowledge. She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That’s becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience.
The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down.
My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn’t enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it’s a fairly minor criticism.
Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.“
