    Asado chips
    Ebony G.

    First time here and ordered everything to go. Customer service was excellent, but the food just wasn't really our group's taste. * Iced Crème Brûlée Latte: 5/10 - Looked great, but both my sister and I didn't enjoy the flavor. The drink didn't have much flavor surprisingly. * Cold Brew: 7/10 - Solid. I'd definitely order it again. * Hot Pandan Latte: 8/10 - My favorite drink we tried. * Asado Chips: 10/10 - Easily the best thing we ordered. * Side Salad: 1/10 - Just wasn't for me and didn't pair well with the sandwiches. * Kimchi Spam Croissant: 5/10 - It was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. * Grilled Cheese: 1/10 -Way too much mayo, barely any cheese, and I ended up throwing most of it away. Overall, not a bad place, it just wasn't our taste. I'd come back for the cold brew, the hot pandan latte, and definitely the asado chips.

    Perfect in Purple and matcha einspänner

    While in the area, I decided to grab some food and drink before heading home. Dash was nearby, so I placed my order for pick-up, and it was ready within 10 minutes (so quick)! Service was minimal, but nice when I arrived and soon brought the food/drinks back home. The food (egg souffle sandwich and ube cornflake brownie) were sourced from other shops, so I won't review them here. However, the drinks were, sadly, a bit disappointing: my matcha einspänner had barely any matcha flavor, and I mostly tasted milk. The Perfect in Purple (with ube cream top) had some promise with a tasty, sweet ube cream, but the coffee itself was too acidic to enjoy. Overall, an okay-café, but I'd rather go to nearby Danbi Café instead for better drinks.

    Creme brulee latte

    Iced Creme brulee latte has a really deliciously flavored cream top, not overly sweet. I ordered my drink half sweet and it's perfect for me! I tried my partner's full sweet one and I do prefer the half sweet, altho the full sweet is totally drinkable. They have cookies and brownies that look and an assortment of Asian flavored potato chips. This is a small shop, so when there are a lot of to go orders it gets chaotic to wait in. Service was kind and knowledgeable. The seats inside are comfy and inviting. They have a whole patio area set up and extending into the parking lot, as well. Its a little bare bones, but perfectly serviceable. Music inside is maybe too loud for studying or work without earbuds, but ymmv. There is a small lot that they share with the Thai place next door, and there is sometimes also street parking.

    I tried the matcha einspanner here and I was originally worried it'd be overly sweet, but the cream was lightly sweetened and provided a really nice silky mouthfeel to the drink. I also tried a sip of my friend's strawberry matcha and that was also pretty good. Nothing against the business, but the parking situation can be really awful. I lucked out with a spot in the corner but also had to wait for a trash truck to back out. Due to the parking situation, I'm not sure if I'd want to come here to study or anything, but I'd happily come back if someone else drove lol

    Grabbed a couple drinks here before heading out and overall had a pretty nice experience. We ordered an iced pandan latte and a matcha ube latte and the matcha ube was definitely the winner for me. The ube cream top actually had a strong ube flavor instead of just sweetness and the matcha itself tasted high quality and nicely balanced. Sadly, I didn't enjoy the pandan latte much. I got it half sweet and could barely taste any pandan at all, and the espresso just wasn't really my favorite. Not terrible, just not something I'd go out of my way for. My husband liked it more than I did. Service was friendly and fast, and there's also a self serve kiosk by the entrance if you want to order quickly. The cafe itself is small with only a few tables, but it feels like a nice little spot to sit, chat, or get some work done for a bit. They also sell little Thai/Asian snacks and random knick knacks which was fun to browse while waiting for drinks (wound up with a bag of kimchi and salted egg yolk Lays). Conveniently located on the southeast side of Union and Lake too.

    Consistently delicious pandan lattes and matcha concoctions! Dash has been a favorite now for years. I'm not local, but anytime I return to Pasadena, I always visit at least once or twice! The staff is always so gracious and knowledgeable about their current offerings. They continue to experiment with flavors (a new favorite is the Matcha Jasmine latte) Perennial favorites: Pandan Latte (they somehow make the best flavored one here, even though there are now several coffee shops in the area that make this drink. I believe they might be the OG). Matcha latte (they make theirs unsweetened, and for purists, this is perfect!) I need to talk about their Ube foam here. You can add it to any drink (I like topping my pandan lattes with it--it's a perfect flavor blend!) It is decadent, sweet, and creamy, and yes, makes your drink a dessert! While other shops also make Ube cream tops, Dash's Ube foam is the best one by a large margin when it comes to taste and texture. The shop space is cozy and clean, with indoor and outdoor seating. There is customer turnover, but sometimes it's not fast, so a few times, I've had to take my drinks to go even though I had planned to stay a while if seating allowed--obviously others enjoy the vibe here as well!

    OMG! Highly recommend! 1. Parking - street (metered) or they have a small parking lot. 2. Drinks ordered - matcha coconut water (10/5), dirty thai tea, biscoff latte, hojicha (my least favorite but still good!) and creme brulee latte. All were sooo amazing! 3. Pricing - :( the only down side is it is quite expensive averaging $8+ per drink. But the quality of their drinks brings us back. 4. Service is usually very prompt. Nothing to go crazy over. 5. They have a few tables indoor and outdoor!

    Butterfly Pea Frizz and Pandan Cookie
    Hanna Y.

    Came in to do some work and it is a cute little spot. They have their own parking lot so that was a plus. They have tables and seats inside and outside. You could order from a kiosk or the cashier. I got the pandan cookie and the butterfly pea fizz. The cookie was pretty good. It was crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. The drink was also good. I wasn't feeling a coffee but I still needed a pick me up and this was a good choice. It was sweet and a little sour. Both items were very tasty!

    Einspanner
    Haleh M.

    I was in the Pasadena area and wanted an Einspanner latte. I did a quick search and Dash came up. There's a small parking lot connected which is great, especially in Pasadena. Upon entering the barista was very welcoming and kind. My drink was quickly made and while good it wasn't quite an Einspanner. There were about four small tables inside and really cool speciality snacks.

    ube cornflake caramel brownie & matcha latte with strawberry foam
    Abigail J.

    Such a great cafe! Food: 10/10! Tried the seasonal matcha latte with strawberry cold foam... and I chugged it lol! Matcha latte had a very strong matcha flavor and the strawberry cold foam was amazing! It didn't overpower anything and it was incredible! I was recommended the Ube cornflake caramel brownie and it's something I've never had before! So yummy and would come back and crave it! Service: 10/10! Kind employees who took my siblings' order and whoever expedited my order was fantastic :) Ambiance: 10/10! Cute interior and place was packed with people studying/working. Overall, my siblings and I loved it and we will definitely be coming back! (Maybe next week since we have a weekly sibling hangout lol

    Dirty Thai Tea Latte Iced
    Arlene B.

    Stumbled across this coffee spot after lunch. Overall cute with different types of drinks. Only downside is the parking. Parking lot is very small and so we had to circle around to find street parking. Inside is small but they do have a few tables. Staff greeted us and was friendly. I got the dirty Thai tea and it was interesting but in a good way. I also tried the matcha and it had a nice strong flavor. I'm interested to come back to try other things off the menu.

    DISAPPOINTED. I walked into the store at 9:20 am on a Wednesday and no greeting from two girls working there. Only when my friend told them we're here for a pickup, then they said it's behind the counter and tell them our name. No smile expression. I'm not sure. Drink has no sweetness? Or has it always been minimal. Pandan matcha (hot) does not have pandan flavor Matcha einspanner has good cream that doesn't mix with the drink (I only mixed it because the drink wasn't sweet, I usually don't mix and drink it from the lid).

But theirs is so lovely - it was the Sicily ($6.25 - Ethiopian cold brew, orange blossom water, lemon juice, touch of raw sugar, lime zest). It drinks like a refreshing tonic BUT I love that they shake this beverage and then top it with fresh lime zest. Lovely. I also had the ham & cheese croissant and it was awesome. I was eyeing the miso kouign amann but opted out, I'll have to come back for it as well as some of their matcha options!

I liked it but my wife thought the extra chocolate was too much of the good thing. She reminded me that in the pain au chocolat in France, you actually feel the chocolate under the tooth at each bite. Between the two, I would get the plain croissant next time.
