37 Best Coffee Roasters near Pasadena

“This review is years overdue. Been coming here for years. Hands down my favorite coffee in LA. They roast their own beans on site and the coffee is divine. One of the first places I ever found to offer every type of dairy, lactose free and nondairy options. Parking is rough but always worth it.

“A friend brought it in to work and I adore it! Love helping vets and love great coffee. Nice job gentleman ☕️❤️“

“TB & TB is exactly our coffeehouse vibe - the coffee is incredible! I’d work here, meet friends or just chill on my own. The sweet treats were delicious and I can’t wait to get back! We bought some whole beans to brew at home and we’re not disappointed. Excellent quality making the perfect cup - hot or iced 🤩“

“The amazing place where you can taste different types of coffee with different flavors and participate in roasting process. The environment is extremely amazing. Highly recommended. Thank you for warm welcome.“

“Beautiful, but cashless..“

“Coast 2 Coast has been meeting our coffee needs for the past 3 years. They not only have an excellent selection of coffee, it’s delivered with amazing customer service. Kip has helped me grow my coffee shop and has become part of the family.“

“great coffee and excellent customer service“

“Best coffee I’ve had. So many different flavors that I have a different kind every other day.“

“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!“

“Wow, I feel lovestruck from this experience hahaI don’t say this lightly: this may be my new favorite coffee shop. The baristas were incredibly warm and friendly. My specialty latte and pão de queijo were tasty. And the building is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to come back!If you’re thinking about stopping by, just do it.“

“If you want legit good cold brew & almond croissant, this is THE place. Their sweet cold brew has the perfect amount sweetness and excludes the heaviness of a latte. The croissant is full of moist cinammon flavor and the layers are buttery + not too flaky.
Overall also realized the shop is not just friendly in general but also super dog friendly as well so one can get the chance to see neighborhood doggos :3 there aren't a lot of seats (4 i think?) but this place is definitely worth the drinks/pasteries even for to-go.“

“This is the best coffee shop around, no question about it. Their roasts are awesome and in this time of quarantine, is THE place to get your beans if you want quality coffee at home. You can order them on their website.“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“Great taste love the white chocolate mocha hot of course. Cheaper then that big coffee chain 😉“

“Bryan from Mobar is freaking amazing and provides amazing customer service. We appreciate all his service every Pick Me Up Wednesday at AVA Hollywood. The best barista out there!!!! Keep it up!!!!“

“Recently visited this cozy café and was absolutely delighted! I highly recommend trying the lavender latte — it's an incredible combination of flavors. The drink was perfectly balanced, with a delicate lavender aroma that complements the rich taste of coffee. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a pleasant chat. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“I enjoy CC for its smoothness. mostly I just get the regular drip coffee. yesterday like every visit the staff is friendly and customers are mostly local nice and polite. now I live in Maryland so I order CC online. still tasty but sitting at the marble counter makes it special“

“Was visiting from Arizona and came in for a couple cups of coffee and was blown away by the expertise of the barista, the coffee was delicious and the barista was super friendly, I just wish I asked their name! Whoever was working the morning of 11/18/2022, thank you for an awesome experience in LA!“

“Amazing stuff, be patient, worth the wait.“

“The staff are so nice here! It's right on the bike path and I love to ride there.

During the week, the atmosphere is so nice and cozy. It's a shared business space, which can make for some interesting people watching.

I wish they were open a little later during the summer because they are always closing just when I'm craving that last coffee of the day.

I avoid it on the weekends because the line is usually out the door and the crowd is usually pretty unwelcoming, especially if you try to ride there.“

“Coffee is a simple process on the surface. Endorffiene elegantly crafts each cup with love.“

“The superfood coffee from here is next level, had me feeling like Bradley Cooper in Limitless lol.. I’d probably get it everyday but in the name of fiscal responsibility I also got some coffee beans to make a slightly less potent but still tasty cup at home ?“

“Cool independent roastery / cafe in a unique location with amazing coffees and pastries. This place is a gem! They roast their own coffee in-house on a Probat machine—coffee nerds know! probably why their coffee is really good! And their pastries! Wow! Love it. They have an awesome space, looking into a courtyard in a rather quiet pocket of downtown. Great vibes. Mostly female led. Check this place out.“

“A cafeteria with a very interesting concept, the variety of coffees and products for cafeteria at home are good, the quality of the coffee is very good as well as its preparations and its equipment, as well as a pleasant atmosphere, highly recommended.

Parking: Parking next to the premises“

“Best coffee“

“Nice place for brakefast and coffee“

“Apple Maps suggested it. Good coffee. No selection on non-sweet pastries. Disappointed on that. But still good coffee. I-5 n broadway location.“

“Excellent bagels sold here!“

“I wandered over here on a Saturday morning. They were across from the thrift/vintage and antique shops. Baristas were friendly. I was surprised to see they offer Fosselman's ice cream here!

I got an iced latte with oat milk that was pretty good. No complaints there. There isn't much seating on the bottom floor, but there is plenty of seating upstairs. The bathroom is also upstairs and has an open window 0_o. They have lots of outdoor seating. It's a pretty peaceful place to read a book or journal or sketch here. Imagine old flimsy wooden chairs that need new paint jobs.

Parking - I found free street parking in a residential area.“

“I hear some British tourists talking to the hotel manager "this is the best taco place in LA."As the proud owner of a gut selectively fed with the best things in life, I ask what might that place be. Turns out, it's Tees cafe.I google the place. It doesnt even have tacos on its online menu. I ask the guy, are you sure this is the place. He says yes. They make great birria tacos.I decide to have a combined lunch and breakfast there the next day.God finds my plan too boring and I lose my credit cards the next day. I only find about it while trying to pay for my food, which thankfully I have to do before eating.I cancel my order with a light stomach and q heavy heart and join my friend sitting outside. We are both very respectful of individualism so I dont ask for help and he gracefully doesn't offer any as he silently inhales three tacos.A moment later I feel a tap on my shoulder. It's an almost comically stereotypical overweight Mexican daddy smiling with two tacos on a plate. They are free and they are for me.In retrospect, this was the only way for this mom and dad cafe to surpass my sky.high expectations. With delicious authentic tacos and hospitality I have no problem calling this the best taco place in downtown LA.Just don't make it too famous.“

“Appreciate every single associate working at this store. The ambiance of the store is so warm and cozy not only due to the aroma of the coffee but also due to its amazing staff. Greg has always been an absolute sweetheart and a true gentleman. He listens to what I would like to purchase and he always goes above and beyond in his service. I’m always out of the store with a big grin on my face. I don’t drink coffee with additives and I’m particular with coffee choices and he always suggests the best. He also made me coffee to test and made sure I like what I take home. Thank you Glendale! Thank you Nespresso! And more importantly, THANK YOU GREG!“

“These guys are fast, they make the best coffee in LA. Truly my favorite iced lattes in town. I am closer to other coffee shops but I choose to come here because it’s perfects the coffee makes me happy ☕️ everyone here is lovely, great vibe, a/c and lovely. We always find parking nearby too!“

“Oh HEY! -have you ever been blessed by St Matthew of Silverlake?! His glowing attitude is no match for his glowing skin and yet, if you do do yourself the favor of walking past the cliches of hipsterville like (can’t complain about it really) La colombe, you’d actually find a gem of a spot with this gem of a man (whose glowing attributes really won’t stop competing). And it’s this cafe. Fast with employees who care and a bright chill atmosphere that’s just right to send out all those “apology for last night, I was drunk” texts or “shoot your shot” on hinge (even tho you refuse to pay for it) messages cause the caffeine has kicked in, it’s strong, yummy, well served, and the color scheme is adorable here.
I say you switch it up and go here. I know the song of summer is “espresso” but this place has changed my identity to “Macha Lemonade” and made my heart reliant upon seeing Matthews great haircut at least 3 times a week. GO! It’s the ideal and void of cliches! V cute for a meet up or a date (ahem, men on Hinge)“

“This is my second time coming here. It’s just fine. It’s another coffee shop (replacing swörk). It’s clean. The music isn’t too loud. Pricing is what is to be expected for any coffee shop in LA. My biggest qualm with this place is that despite the abundance of tables, there’s a lack of wall outlets. If you’re gonna show up here to get any work done, come with your devices charged- otherwise there’s 1 outlet at the back of the shop.“

“Own roasted coffee. Roasted perfection.ALOT OF SEATING. No waiting lines (however was afternoon). Huge pastries. A lot of food options from scratch kitchen. Worth the walk.Unfortunately Fresh squeezed juice bar closed.Hey owners a coffee in a real cup would be a nice touch that not many coffee roasters have in DTLA.See you at some future coffee shows when you share your coffee with the world. Cheers.“

“Photographer #MarkusCuff and I bumped in, and they happened to be serving a seriously home made Mexican plate. He loved it, if we #bumpedinto something like this… you know, #ITH in the hood… Aww dear @Markus Cuff, rest in beauty… Never thought I’d be singing to you, #reallysinging… “let your soul & spirit fly into the mystic.” Wow.“
