Starbucks in Pasadena

“So happy this loc is back to late night lobby hours!! (Lobby open till 10pm) *unless some random issue with scheduling/staffing.

About 6-8? months ago they reduced lobby hours and I had to search elsewhere for a place to study late night. So glad it’s back to normal again!

No electrical outlets at this place. Mostly metal chairs/stools. Just the 4 cozy chairs at the small tables. No high tables here (for those who like to stand and do their work).

And they do bags of coffee grounds for the garden/composting!“

“I came here last Monday 2/9 around 6 pm to do some work. I just wanted to give a shoutout to three ladies who were working then - all of them were so kind and friendly. It seriously made my day! Coffee was standard Starbucks coffee but the service was truly exceptional!“

“I really like to support the little guy - especially when it comes to one of my favorite things - coffee. The little guys present great coffee but Starbucks is reliable and has perfected coffee the way McDonalds perfected fast food. Buy coffee at ANY Starbucks and its consistently the same at every location. Another thing Starbucks got right - they have drive thru locations near freeway on ramps so I can always find a coffee when I'm in a hurry. Been going to this locations for years and even though this locale doesn't have drive thru it was fast and my drink was perfect. I was in a hurry but it took less than ten minutes out of my trip. Thank you Starbucks“

“Pleasantly surprised to see such a positive change to this location. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I love the little notes they write on the cups, which truly bring a smile to my face. I had noticed that actual dining ware was being used for others requesting to have their coffee and meal to stay. I've never seen this before at other Starbucks location but actually using a physical mug rather than a paper cut really elevates the experience. It makes this starbucks much more comfortable and enjoyable to stay at.“

“The staff here is always so friendly and welcoming! The Tuxedo Hot Chocolate is a must-try if you love rich chocolate flavor, it’s creamy, perfectly balanced, and just the right amount of sweetness. This location is always clean, cozy, and a great place to relax or get some work done.“

“This particular Starbucks truly felt like home. There was lots of parking. I was greeted by three employees when I walked in the door and all of them had a smile. The barista that assisted me was very helpful in terms of helping me decide on a drink that met my dietary restrictions. One of the best experiences I've had at Starbucks in a long time!“

“It was three people waiting in line one guy was busy worrying about stocking coffee out on the center of the store while the other girl that was working there was doing all the work including the mobile orders and the people that walked up. He should have stopped and helped serve the people that were waiting in line or helped her. I was just kind of annoyed that he just walked by everybody took care of his stuff out there loading up the front of the store instead of helping getting those three customers served. If I was a manager there I'll be writing that person up for not helping getting the customer served rather than stocking the shelf.“

“Thank you so much for having wide bottom chairs! Very comfortable for us plus sizes. LOL Too many places have little, uncomfortable chairs.

Service here is excellent and they got my order perfect. Lots of seating inside and outside which is nice too.“

“This Starbucks on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena really stands out because it’s located on one of the cleanest and most well-kept streets in the area. The environment feels calm and organized, and everything inside is neatly displayed. The staff are low-key but genuinely friendly, not overly busy or chaotic like other locations. It’s also less crowded, and they always get the drinks right. Definitely one of the better Starbucks experiences around.“

“Consistently solid experience at this Starbucks. The coffee is reliable, and the menu has a good range of drinks and snacks for all tastes. Staff are usually friendly and efficient, though service can slow down during peak hours.

The space is clean and great for a quick stop or getting some work done if there’s seating available. Mobile ordering is super convenient. Prices are on the higher side, but you know what you are getting. Overall, a dependable spot for your caffeine fix.“

“This Starbucks is located in the large Vons Market at 2355 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena California. It is a great location for this coffee shop. When you first walk into the Vons entrance by the elevator, Starbucks is located to your right. There is a nice counter with staff making your choice of coffees. There is also a display of bagged coffee both whole bean and ground available in the surrounding area.

When I was there the staff was very helpful and friendly, making suggestions about different coffee drinks. There was one person taking orders and another person making the drinks. I was able to order a seasonal coffee to have at one of the tables in the surrounding area. It's nice to have a place to sit and figure out what you might want to add to your grocery list as you enjoy your coffee.

I was also able to pick up a pound of a nice dark roast to take home.

I still have a Starbucks card and was able to use it at this location. I also was able to add some more money on the card.

The atmosphere is coffee-centric as you sit facing the counter. The aroma of fresh coffee permeates the area. I believe they have an outside patio where you can enjoy the fresh air as you drink your coffee.
Parking is easy because of the large Vons parking lot, although it can be busy depending upon the time of day.

This is a great location for Starbucks.“

“One of the busiest Starbucks I’ve ever been too, but still one of the most amazing. The community of local Pasadena peeps do a great job supporting these over worked and probably under paid baristas. Every time I’m here, they are working diligently, even understaffed and still have the time to remember my name.I do recommend them but then they’ll be even busier. Just admire them from a far while I enjoy my brown sugar shaken espresso.“

“This is the best Starbucks I’ve ever been to — hands down!
The coffee here tastes amazing, better than anywhere else. The staff are always so friendly and generous with the servings. I order a cup every morning, and it never disappoints. Thank you all for starting my day right! Xin❤️“

“I love the service at Starbucks. Customer service is great. This is my go-to specialty coffee shop. They even make a tea for times when you may feel sick. Flu bomb.Hot Caramel macchiato whip upside down. Warmed pumpkin loaf.

Parking: It depends on if it's in a shopping mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: Usually available“

“I like to come here every Friday morning as my end of the work week treat. I have my usual drinks that I order (Pumpkin Spice Latte during fall and Matcha Green Tea Latte) but every now and then I like to try other things. So far, every drink I've ordered is great! The morning staff, Yoseph and Jerry, are friendly, quick and consistent.“

“I didn’t get any food from this particular Starbucks, but I did order a drink called the Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte, made without ice and a large iced water. The drink was amazing, put together with perfection. The service was just as great: quick, friendly, and efficient. There was a line when I arrived, but since I had placed my order through the app, my drink was ready within minutes. The staff were super friendly too. The ambience was what you’d expect from Starbucks: inviting and well-decorated. This isn’t my usual location, but I had taken my kids to a nearby park on my day off and decided to stop in for a pick-me-up, since I was starting to feel tired. It’s in the shopping center with Vallarta and the Chase Bank on Fairoaks and North Orange Grove in Pasadena. All in all, I’d definitely stop by this Starbucks again whether just for myself or with friends or family. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a drink.“

“Got the caramel ribbon crunch frap. I asked what the crunch is. They said caramel. I say pretty much, but better! More like after dinner Mexican cookies which are brown sugar and butter melted to just barely caramel but still with sugar crumble texture. So, a hint of butter that is nice.“

“This Starbucks is right by the Pasadena Convention Center and has a bit of a hidden bonus — there’s a large hall next door where you can also sit and drink your coffee, so seating feels almost unlimited. Definitely a plus if you’re visiting during an event.

The coffee was good, and we went with oat milk, since we were told Starbucks soy milk comes with sugar and vanilla by default. Staff seemed a bit over it when we came through — maybe they weren’t expecting a rush — but we got what we needed.

Convenient spot if you’re at the convention centre or nearby attractions.“

“Today, I just wanted a water, being it was hot and intolerable weather outside. Also, it was for my little man needing water for his meds. I had forgotten to purchase water, and decided to go get water from Star$$ last minute.

Anyhow, I was in a rush. The barista, he was tired but helped me out. I couldn't make out his name tag (Jackson?), but I am giving props to him. He gave me a 26 oz cup of ice (filled to the top as I had requested) and water. He did this as quick as he could and was polite. Normally, we just get a tiny cup, but today, I am blessed that Jackson can read my mind in this extremely hot weather to give me a nice cold cup of water. Many many thanks. And bless you for reading my mind! Hope that whatever you are going through will be resolved. Very very grateful to him! ?“
