I have been here a few times and I love their coffee and the variety of drinks they have! I went over the weekend and got their seasonal sweet and salty peanut butter latte and it is the BEST latte I have ever had!! I hope they make it a permanent drink on their menu because it is so good and I'll be sad if they get rid of it. I also love the ambience of the shop. This is my favorite coffee/tea shop in Pasadena, hands down!

Boba at a coffee shop?! SAY LESS. Always a good experience here. I discovered it one day while at work and it has been my go-to boba/drink place for an afternoon pick-me-up. I've tried several different fruit tea drinks (all good and not overly sweet) and their classic black milk tea with boba. I normally order 50-70% sweetness for my boba drinks but I get 100% here. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the place is cute and quaint, good spot to study or just have conversations with friends.

12/17/2023 Visit this place in the morning. You won't regret it. There are a few seats if you want to do some work with free wi-fi. There is coffee and milk tea available. You could add boba to either tea or coffee. What a concept, it will blow your mind. Once you've tried that, come back and visit them at the new location. They are moving, at least that's what the e-mail update says when I read it. If you like boba in your coffee, I have another drink for you to try. Just ask me.

Great almond milk latte. Great service. Friendly staff. Could offer more seating outdoors.

Came in with my son, the person who helped us was very welcoming and the Boba was some of the best we've had in all of LA. We will be back:)

The pistachio toddy is magical. I don't think the toddies are too sweet, but they do feel like a treat. The regular espresso is also very good. Super cute interior and patio area. Free wifi for studying!

Pistachio matcha is out of this world. Nothing else like it! Trust! Service was quick and prompt. Place is super clean! Tables around to sip and chill. Definitely would go back when in the area.

The server's name is Matthew. He wears a NY cap and a Long Beach crewneck. I assume he is a travelled man, a man who appreciates a good city as much as the next guy. He promptly asks how he can help me, I tell him I'm just browsing. Like I'm at the Gap. JUST BROWSING?! I'm ready to leave this planet.. the social norms are too confusing. I order the Ginger Peach (decaf) fruit tea and a refill of my water bottle. He obliges with a kindness I've never been offered at a Starbucks. The Ginger Peach is good. It's light, there's peach and a hint of ginger. It hurts my feelings when abundant levels of ginger take jackhammers to my tastebuds. Matthew saved me from that experience. Concluding my scientific analysis of the beverage, the caffeine was nowhere to be found. This establishment seems to be true to its word. Which, by confirmation bias, leads me to believe that Matthew loves both New York and Long Beach.

I just spent $5.65 on worst cup of coffee -worse than gas station. The off taste is obviously reused coffee grounds. Unacceptable.

Stopped here before heading back home to the Bay Area and had the best latte ever. Customer service was amazing. Will be my go to after king taco from now on.
The only downside to this spot is the price tag - at $7, I really wouldn't come on a regular basis if I was a local and even though I visit Pasadena often, I wouldn't always stop by here. Besides the price, everything else was fantastic. The gentleman helping me was super kind and helpful in answered questions. I went with the Horchata toddy that was light, slightly sweet, balanced so well with the coffee, and had amazing flavor throughout. The interior is a bit dark and gloomy but it's fine if you don't want to hang out.

Awesome coffee!!! Get a salted caramel toddy you can't go wrong with it, Mexican spice toddy is just as great, love the vibe of the place. If there's no parking available, park on red leave someone in the car and have the other person go in and get your order real quick. lol

The peanut butter latte was amazing! They definitely use real peanut butter. There is a self-order kiosk, which I prefer, though you can also request that a staff member take your order. This drink shop has a industrial chic design with a central high table for seating. There are also magazines and flyers advertising local events such as the Pasadena playhouse.
