This was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back! The drinks are really good and there are many options. Everyone was so friendly and I had a lovely conversation with one barista in particular, Zakhari! She was so kind and explained the different menu items to me. This is also a great location to study or do work, lots of indoor + outdoor seating and outlets.

I've been coming to the Coffee Bean since I was in high school. I even worked there as a Barista for a while in Old Town Pasadena. Their coffee is nice and smooth. And I love the black forest!!! 😋😋😋

January 2025

The staff explained to me that the matcha latte is already sweet, I probably should have said so at the beginning. They kindly offered to make another drink.
People work here and you can buy a drink without getting out of your car.
