“ Firstly, I enjoyed the vibe in this place -- very comfortable, even if it's slightly cramped. The space isn't TOO small, but if there was 10 less square feet it would be. The decor is nice and cohesive, and it feels deliberate. There's a nice selection of coffee-shop accouterments it peruse, along with some tasty looking food items to take home. There's a good a amount of seating here considering the size of the place. There's a patio with 4 tables and some umbrellas, and some indoor accommodations, as well, although, those are a bit more intimate. Everything was relatively clean considering the amount of traffic in the shop, and at the tables, while I was there. The service was prompt and friendly. Everyone behind the counter was masked, which I appreciated. Everyone was in a good mood and seemingly happy to be doing what they were doing, which added to the pleasant ambiance. I ordered an iced Chai tea and an Italiano sandwich. The drink was ready almost instantly with the sandwich not following too far behind. As far as the quality, everything was outstanding. The iced Chai was delicious, and the sandwich was worth revisiting to experience again. The bread was particularly memorable! The last couple of things I think are worth mentioning are regarding the parking, and the prices. The parking is tight and the lot is seemingly shared with the surrounding businesses. I wouldn't be expecting to find a space if you're coming during peak hours, so keep that in mind. Also, it's not the cheapest place ever, but I genuinely feel that you get what you pay for but it's worth noting. Overall, this place was very, very good and I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. I'll be back again soon! ”
“ i decided to go a little out of my way and visit this location for a cup of cold brew and i was pleasantly surprised as to how good it was. the service was extremely quick and i'd definitely return. it's on a quiet street in a nice part of North Pasadena. i didn't purchase a breakfast bread but the ones displayed in the window sure looked delicious. ”
“ Very cute coffee shop with great tasting coffee. I added cinnamon to a vanilla latte and it was very tasty. They do have some indoor and outdoor seating but it was quite busy with a line when I visited around 10 am on a weekday. Despite the size of the line they got through the orders fairly quickly and it didn’t take as long as I anticipated. They have a lot of unique lavender and honey combinations of coffees to try out. ”
“ The host was very friendly. She helped me find the perfect drink for a friend I was surprising because I'm a non coffee drinker. I had the lavender lemonade and it was amazing. Will try new items because of the staff. A place everyone should try. Be prepared that the parking lot will be crowded. But it's worth the walk ”
“ Overall a cute and quaint place to get a coffee with a nice selection of drinks. I specifically get their classic lavender breve which is my favorite and usually something I have to ask as a special request at other cafes , I love that it’s on their menu. Atmosphere is nice with seating in such a petite spot along with a nice array of small shoppable goods on the side. The staff are all quite young and a lot at once on one shift, the few times I’ve come it feels like I’m in a college dorm room with multiple staff looking at tik toks or talking loudly about a show that’s trendy and sometimes it’s an effort to get their attention but overall very friendly and great service. ”
“ Very cute little coffee shop that had a great menu and lots of additional things for your eyes to wander over, like the local honey. This is a great place to chill, meet your friends, and have a quick bite while you read. The staff is very thorough, super charismatic, and very knowledgeable about their craft. I'll definitely continue to visit this spot while I'm in town. Be warned, bring a fully charged laptop/phone if you plan to do any work here. And bring and open appetite to try something new! ”
“ Love this place. Super cute but can get busy. I usually just order ahead and take it to go, but it’s a nice place to hang out and there is seating inside and outside if you choose to dine-in. They also sell honey (obviously lol) and other local goods. Great coffee food! Friendly staff. ”
“ The best coffee in town, cozy little place, attentive and friendly staff, fast service. I recommend trying French Lavander Breve. ”
