    This is a great little shop for an early morning coffee run with friends or remote work and breakfast. There is so much seating, but it gets super busy. The staff moved the line along pretty quickly though. The coffee was delicious but it didn't stand out to me too much. If anything I would come back for the breakfast and pastries. I loved how the smoked salmon toast was stacked with pickled onions and the toasty flavor of the capers was scrumptious. I'll be back to try those pastries. The upside down pineapple muffin definitely caught my eye!

    Avocado toast

    Matcha drinker here. They only have a sweetened version. It's not too sweet. Non dairy options are almond and oat. I always order my drink extra hot. It was barely warm here. The avocado toast was delish but 1 piece for $13 with no egg is a bit much. Burrito had good food or but heavy on the carbs. Service was average. They're working and they're respectful. . Nothing personal or friendly about it. There is decent parking in the back. 2 shared lots with chick fli a on top of their very small lot. The inside seating is not very cozy. Seems almost intentional. They do have outside seating.

    Food was average to bad. Blackberry Ricotta Slice - interesting flavor! But pretty expensive for the portion. Matcha - powdery, not a great flavor/didn't taste like good quality matcha and wasn't mixed well/kept settling. Short Rib Hash - really bad. Dry hard potatoes with no seasoning and a little bit of meat and eggs. Missing flavor. Ambience was quite noisy and crowded and not very welcoming, and service wasn't great, they seemed understaffed at the counter.

    Visited: 12/19/25 & 1/3/26 I stopped by for a couple of visits and tried a mix of drinks and food items, including some of their seasonal specials. Iced Cookie Butter Latte ($7): 7.5/10 This was a special for the winter holidays. The flavor was tasty and smooth, but it didn't feel particularly unique compared to other lattes I've had. Hot Vanilla Latte ($7): 7.5/10 It was a solid, decent drink, but it didn't really stand out as something special. Smoked Salmon Toast ($15): 7/10 It was decent and had generous toppings, which I really appreciated. Personally, I still think the Glendale location does it a little better, but this one was satisfying and visually appealing. I love the art on the box that it comes with! Iced Strawberry Mocha ($7): 8.5/10 This was a Valentine's Day special, and my favorite drink. It was sweet, refreshing, and just what I needed to stay alert during my study session. I really hope they keep this drink on the menu even after the month ends because it was great. Red Velvet Cookie: 6/10 The cookie had a typical flavor, but it was a little dry and hard. Heating it would have made it much more enjoyable. Atmosphere & Seating: The café itself is very inviting, with seating available both inside and outside. There is plenty of space, so it can accommodate groups or individuals who want to work or hang out. The decorations are cute and add a cozy, cheerful atmosphere. The café can get quite crowded, especially earlier in the day. The line can be long at times, but it moves quickly, so it's not too much of an issue. Outlets are available, making it convenient to work or study for a few hours, but the music can get quite loud. If you are sensitive to noise or need to focus, I highly recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones. Near the entrance, there is a self-serve area stocked with utensils, spoons, forks, lids, straws, and napkins, which is very convenient. Parking: Parking is somewhat limited. There is a small lot in the back, but it is almost always full when I have visited, so street parking is usually necessary. Bathroom: The bathroom requires a code, which you can ask the staff for. It is located outside, which might be for the best because the bathroom smelled unpleasant, was dirty, and the toilet was clogged when I went in.

    Stopped by for some coffee after getting my free breakfast at the Chick-fil-A next door! I had their summer special, an espresso soda with coconut creme. It was tasty and supposed to hint as a summer italian soda treat but I think the secret ingredient was Squirt soda. It got a little busy when I was there around 10a weekend morning, so lots of people were waiting for their coffees. Plenty of seats though and a good flow of people moving in and grabbing their orders.

    Delicious!  Dense BUT LIGHT!  So delicious - you cannot eat just one bite!

    Amazing coffee shop! Coffee, breakfast, delicious pastries, large outdoor seating area and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I am in love with this coffee shop, especially the cheddar Rancho biscuit and MORNING BUN (my favorite!). Great outdoor seating area, amazing customer service and delicious menu. This is a hidden gem and I will be back!

    Veggie burrito
    Jan S.

    There is parking in the back. Great looking pastries. I ordered the veggie burrito. Delicious! The potatoes had a nice crispiness to them and provided a lot of flavor. I could taste all of the delicious ingredients. The chips and salsa were also excellent. You order at the counter and then can wait for your food. If you have a dog, you can sit at one of the outside tables.

    I wasn't welcomed when I walked in and I made eye contact with one of the workers Got in line and got to order moment but the guy -Blair - greeted me but was looking down at register. Eye contact is key to me and he was cool but the guys here could use a bit of more happy energy. They all felt under stress or something - they are good looking but need more welcoming energy. The coffee is super good!!! The place is spacious and very clean. I like the coffee a lot but the workers just need more happy energy

    I've been here a few times already and most recently I met up with an out of town friend that was passing by. We went in on a weekday afternoon, place is easy to find, and neither of us had an issue with parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is not too loud, air conditioned, but it can get busy and finding a table is sometimes hard. Outside patio is shaded, they have nice greenery that really makes it feel separate and intimate. You do have to deal with mosquitos though. I have to say the outdoor seating is also not the best. The seats are weathered, old, and almost dangerous because they can get splintery. My friend was wearing a skirt, and when she got up, the skirt caught on the splintering wood and ruined her skirt. If you're wearing shorts, and have kids, I would suggest taking an inside seat or taking your order to go. We did order drinks and pastries to enjoy on the patio because we wanted more privacy. I got an iced latte with a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was pretty big, definitely shareable, and really delicious. The coffee was ok. I wish it was stronger but it went well with the cookie. Service was nice and patient. People had dogs with them. It is in the neighborhoods so you definitely see some foot traffic passing through.

    I decided to stop at Coffee Commissary and I'm glad I did. There's a ton of seating inside and some seating outside if you choose to hangout with your coffee. The baristas were friendly and I ordered an iced vanilla latte. The drink came out fast and it was really good! Parking is pretty rough but not impossible! Definitely worth giving it a try.

    This place is basically the perfect example of a Los Angeles coffee shop. It has bright colors. Plenty of trendy seating and pretty decent coffee and food items. I came for the coffee and a place to work but was pleasantly surprised by their Angelina burrito as well. They have Wi-Fi that's pretty fast and plenty of seating both inside and out so I would definitely swing by to do some work next time you're in the Burbank area. Service was really kind although they were completely packed

    Do they have a public bathroom for customers?

    Yes they do, around the back of the coffee shop. Ask the cashier you might need a key

    I have a questions. If I wanted to order 10 of those bran muffins, how much heads up would you need? I would also like to get 10 of the honey butter. Can I get a price as well. Thank you so much!

    Are the chocolate chip cookies cooked with alcohol? They taste like it. Yummy.

My son found Altadena Bakery during one of his random college-area adventures while seeing it on social media and told me we HAD to go. I figured, sure, it's a bakery. How serious could this be? Apparently very serious. First of all, walking in and seeing that pastry case is dangerous. Everything is absolutely beautiful, the fruit-shaped desserts almost look too perfect to eat. Almost. We grabbed several because obviously self-control had already left the building. But the almond croissant? THAT is the reason for the drive for me. Flaky, buttery, perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and filled with just the right amount of almond. No dry, sad croissant nonsense happening here. It was worth every mile from Fullerton to Burbank. Everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and almost ridiculously pretty. My kid definitely gets credit for finding this one. Altadena has officially become one of those places where, if we're anywhere remotely nearby, we're stopping. And by "remotely nearby," apparently I mean 40 miles away.

The Nutella pizza was especially bad--it was so hard and crunchy that it was basically inedible. Everyone who tried it took one bite and couldn't eat any more. Half of our pepperoni pizza was literally black from being so badly burned. I called the bakery afterward to let them know about the poor quality of the food, particularly because a significant portion of our order was simply inedible. The employee I spoke with gave me the manager's number and specifically told me to send my complaint to the manager. I did exactly that and never received so much as an acknowledgment or response. Mistakes happen, and I would have been much more understanding if someone had simply responded and attempted to make the situation right. Instead, after spending more than $70 on burnt food, we were completely ignored. I'm incredibly disappointed by both the quality of the food and the lack of customer service. Based on our experience, they clearly did not care whether we received food that was actually edible or whether our complaint was addressed afterward. I will not be returning and would strongly recommend going elsewhere.

Someone mentioned to me to call Martino's bakery in Burbank and I did. They too have cherry pie, so I ran to Martino's and they had just sold their last cherry pie. At this point, I was determined to get a cherry pie that was to my liking. Maribel told me to come the next day and I did. I was there at 8 o'clock when they open and they were very friendly, Maribel remembered me from yesterday and was so happy to get me a cherry pie, which had just been baked by the way. I got the pie home and have had two pieces. It is exactly what I was looking for. Finally my craving is satisfied and I'm happy. Martino's bakery has been in existence for countless years, and I have bought my share of tea cakes, which they are famous for. I never knew they sold cherry pie and I'm glad I've learned they do. I think it is the best cherry pie in the San Fernando Valley. Maribel and the staff of people at Martino's make you feel like family. Thanks Martinos From a Very happy customer
