Highlight Coffee - Pasadena

Perfect stop after some fieldwork

Super Amazing tonics! The matcha is so fresh you can practically taste the sun and tea leaves from jeju island! Also the pineapple lime espresso tonic is so tasty!!!!! Frank the owner hand picks the best single origin chocolate from all over the world! He also special orders the tonic water from London!!! Amazing taste and service and overall 10/10 experience!!!! Everything is hand picked and the attention to detail makes this place so special!!

Good rotating pour over selection. Worth a visit if like single origin black coffee.

Great coffee… Great cinnamon rolls…. They make really good coffee.

I just can’t stand hearing people say “like” over and over again.

“Like, I know, like, like you know? Like, like, but like, like… like like like like…”

🤷‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️☕️”I feel like, you know, like… like like like like like like ☕️ like like like, oh yeah, like like like like, I mean, but like like like, 💁🏽‍♀️☕️ like like like like like like, but like, like like like….”

Great neighborhood coffee shop. Try the “Nathan Palmer”. Basically an Arnold Palmer but with coffee instead of iced tea!

Love this quaint cute coffee shop! Serves up the most delicious drinks. Praying all is well after the fire
The neighborhood is really missing your spirit right now

The coffee here is 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

The coffee and Orange Vanilla Latte were amazing. Friendly staff and good amount of away from work work-space.

Nice space, lovely pour over, strong cold brew. Great beans. High end in an unpretentious atmosphere.

Parking: Street is BUSY! Take care when crossing the road if parking on the opposite side of the street!

Unclear if the man helping us / barista was having the absolute worst day ever - but wow. We came on a Sunday afternoon 2 hours prior to closing, ordered two pour over coffees. I don't expect anyone in the service industry to bend over backwards with a big ol smile (especially not in this economy), but I do know we are easy customers who don't fuss over orders / have tons of questions. So not sure what his problem was.

He was too pissy for us to approach and ask for the WiFi password, so we drank our coffee and left rather than doing the work we set out to do here.

Anyway. Came here to still say, the coffee is good here. Good bean selection too.

The coffee is great. The pastries from Sugarbloom are amazing. The tea based drinks though, ie matcha latte or dirty chai…. They are ok, can’t recommend them. But overall it is an excellent place for coffee and pastries.

Great coffee, love their Matcha! The pastries are excellent. The space is very open & airy and the staff always welcoming. This is a small business & their second location. It’s a welcome addition to the neighbourhood ☕️
