Really nice shop and experience! Came here with a few friends on a weekday morning and it was a little busy, and our food and coffee still came out within 10 minutes. I ordered the veggie breakfast burrito and enjoyed it so much!! The oat milk latte hot was also tasty. I would come back.

This is an awesome study spot. Food isn't bad either. It's not my favorite breakfast burrito in town because I'm not a huge fan of arugula in a burrito, but it does the trick. It's a cute spot with lots of natural sunlight in the front room. It has convenient parking with a paid lot across the street.

Feel like I got ripped off because somehow a pastry and macchiato was $16 & asking about it prompted muttered annoyance from the cashier. Not coming back.

Great food, great service and there was only a little bit of noise from the neighbors, but that doesn’t happen every day so it was really good. The coffee was so good and the staff are amazingly nice. 10/10 recommend.

The food was delicious! I loved my burrito, and there was plenty of seating available as well. There's also a restroom available that was decently clean.

What a sweet, well rounded cafe to work at or meet with friends! The baristas are all so kind and made the ambiance feel very hip. Tall tables are a little squishy, but made it work. There's plenty of space to sit. Brulee Mint Latte 5/5: Loved how toasty it tasted! It was perfectly sweet. The mint wasn't strong, but I could tell it enhanced the latte. Jade Cloud Cold Brew Tea 4/5: basically came out 0% sugar, but tea was delicious! I'd love to come back earlier in the day to try their food menu!

Great food and great vibe. Good for small group gatherings or enjoy your own time. Maybe a better way to serve their food and coffee.

When I moved to Pasadena, my friend told me I had to try Copa Vida, as it was one of her favorite coffee shops. It's super spacious, aesthetically pleasing, and the iced latte was genuinely one of the best I've ever had.

My first meal at 2pm. The ham brekkie hit the spot. The sandwich had a lot of arugula, the ham was there, the egg was thick, yet fluffy and yummy, the sauce had a surprising kick. Big place but 99% full. Nice, casual ambiance, people on their laptops, a couple beside us enjoying a lively conversation, getting to know each other.

Ordered a vegetarian breakfast sandwich. Made it very clear I wanted no meat. Cashier assured me they understood. In fact, they were kind of rude and almost acted like I was overexplaining. Sandwich came with bacon on it. Not sure what the problem is or how I could have made it more clear. Mistakes happen, but it's frustrating sometimes. This is why I overexplain. The coffee is really good though.

Good central location in Old Town Pasadena. Very noisy and loud. Hard to find seating because people camp-out with their laptops. Food is original, creative, but comes pretty cold. I had the Chilaquiles. It didn't come with avocados which it needed. Large serving size but that was mostly tortillas. Very pricey for what you get. Coffee had a cute design, but served in a paper cup (we were eating their) and they ran out of dishwater.

My matcha latte didn't even taste it had matcha. I felt like I was drinking straight up milk. Disappointing considering the price of the drink. However, the workers were kind and I love the work environment. I was very productive inside.
