This is not your ordinary coffee shop. We arrived Saturday morning around 10am and picked up a…read moresmall drip coffee for under $2. There is a serve yourself your own creamer refrigerator with tons of options. They even have a microwave where you can warm up your own pastry. It was crowded inside and no seating available but that's ok because we sat outside on the front patio area. Inside I noticed a wine bar too!! Then I saw musicians setting up and getting ready for sound check. Loved the vibes inside and very family friendly. There is a small parking lot but street parking is also available. Loved the antique decor on display and variety of wall flyers of local events. This is a very community friendly coffee/ wine spot that you must check out.

Even when it's rush hour, they are always so fast! The vibes at the Raymond location are always so great and if you go during the right time, there might be a live performance! Great place to study and/or people watch! Dog friendly as well!

I stopped by The Boy & The Bear and had the vanilla latte along with the avo toast. Both were…read morereally good--the latte was smooth and the avocado toast was fresh and satisfying. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the café itself is beautiful with a spacious, thoughtfully designed interior that's perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I'm not sure if they have their own parking lot. I ended up finding street parking, but since it's Pasadena, there are also several public parking structures nearby that charge a small fee, so parking wasn't too much of an issue. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would definitely come back to try more of their menu.

There was only one person in line when we arrived and there were a few open tables inside. It's chill vibes, people were working on their laptops, reading, or hanging out with friends. They have four different types of unsweetened matcha. I ordered the Hokatsu matcha with honey and it was light and delicious! They brought out of our drinks to our table which was nice. The service was friendly and I can't wait to visit again!

Not sweet but nicely done but a smidge grainy which knocked it down a little Lychee Peachy: 7.5/10 - refreshing but purely a peach drink with no lychee to be tasted. A nice walking drink for the heat Signature Latte Cream Top w/ Vanilla: 8.3/10 - sweet with notes of caramel, cream, and coffee with a little punch The drinks are very well done and tbh the matcha leans more towards the matcha flavor itself which I appreciate and the signature latte will pls those morning goers who want a donut and a drink all in one. The customer service is actually the highlight as they explain the drinks well and bring your order to your seat. A very pleasant experience so I recommend giving it a shot for a simple but honestly worth it cafe Seating is limited and parking is what you expect from the area.

Have you ever gone to a pastry shop such as William Greenberg's Desserts in NY, NY that has a…read moretime-honored tradition of using the same recipe for generations for their beloved chocolate cake or cheesecake? Well this place ISN'T Greenbergs! I enjoyed for weeks their raspberry muffins only to have their store pull it off their shelf saying I was the only customer who liked it. Next came their bacon burritos, which were delicious and popular. Then of course the store told me last week that they won't carry them anymore. A good way to lose a loyal custome, but here the preferences of the loyal customers apparently don't warrant that much consideration. As for the coffee, it is served in paper cups that quickly dissipate the heat so that by the time you finish a cup, it is ice cold. And they refuse to reheat it. No longer recommend.

Simple menu with great options to choose from including matcha, hojicha and coffee. Every drinks is brewed and whisked to order. I ordered the seasonal tropical matcha, which is coconut water matcha topped with guava cream top.

The drinks looked like they were made with great care. Hojicha latte was good! The hojicha flavor is strong and did not get overpowered by the milk. The cream top was nice and thick, and you get the hint of black sesame from the syrup without being overly sweet. Tropical matcha was just beautiful! The guava cream was nice and light. The matcha with coconut water was flavorful and well balanced. The additional detail of lime zest was a chef's kiss. When you go in for a sip, you're hit with refreshing scent. I hope this drink becomes a signature! I'm excited to go back and try more!

My wish came true a couple of years ago, and I finally got a chance to visit this location in Pasadena. The inside is modern with two large tables that can seat four and three small tables for 2. There is also seating outside and a parking lot in the back. I got the iced oatmilk latte and it was delicious. They don't charge extra for non-diary milk which I greatly appreciate! There is free WI-FI. The coffee was good but I do wish they had more food and pastry options: like pistachio croissant or coffee cake, bagels and a few breakfast items. The almond croissant I got was just ok.

I wound up sitting outside, but the refreshing iced tea made it all bearable.
