Located in the heart of Old Town, this Intelligentsia is filled with students and locals pecking away at laptops. I like this location but I like the coffee just a bit more at the Silver Lake and Venice locations. I'm really lucky I don't really drink coffee so spending $5-7 occasionally for a latte and a couple of macarons (they carry them from Bottega Louie) doesn't really hurt. But if you are a caffeine addict, this joint isn't really cost effective. read more

I was so surprised to find an Intelligentsia in Old Pasadena as I've been a fan of Chicago's Intelligentsia. Intelligentsia prides itself in serving amazing coffee from various parts of the world including Bolivia, Colombia, and Kenya. Their famous espresso is known as the "Black Cat" and they say it's a bit sweeter. In any case, all their coffee is delicious! This specific location is definitely a lot more hipster, and I loved it! High table-top communal seating or choose to seat at tables! Order first, then get your coffee. The wonderful thing about this location is that they also serve up food - choose from breakfast, lunch & dinner options - how awesome! read more

Got an 8 oz soy latte one recent chilly Friday evening...heaven in a cup!!! Loved its rich & caramel taste!!!! Swoon!!!!! Pricey....but the quality makes it worth every last sip!!!! read more

Guys, lose the attitude please... went to the soft opening, pretty chaotic service. coffee was great, just how I remembered from its Venice location... but the guys working there, I don't know if they were just tense from being nervous or what? They were playing metro to the max, giving people the "we are cooler than you" attitude.... um... is that really necessary?? the girls were smiley and friendly lasagna cupcake is a must must try, OVERPRICED but very DELICIOUS! pastries are nice, too, I just wish they would start serving those minicakes from Cake Monkey as well... interesting that the interior/decor felt distinctively non-oldtown Pasadena, really Silverlake :P read more

Disclaimer: I have not yet had a regular coffee I had the latte that people have raved about on here. It was bland. Smooth yes, but bland.. Oh, and luke warm as well. I don't care if there's milk in it, I don't want a slightly warmer than room temperature beverage unless I ask for it. I don't know if it was because the barrista who was making my drink was possibly in training but the only thing he probably nailed was the foam design on top. I was not impressed. I don't care if the workers are wearing goofy uniforms and the coffee machines look like lab instruments.. give me a good tasting drink! Almost forgot - $14 for a half pound of coffee beans, are you kidding me!? That coffee better have me shooting winning lottery tickets out of my ass after I drink it. Damn you Old Town! Please don't turn into the West side. I will revise this review after I have a coffee. read more

Perfect location in Pasadena to chill and people-watch! This Intelligentsia Coffee also offer food items and wine in addition to the usual coffee and tea drinks. I liked the Intelligentsia in Silverlake but prefer the Pasadena site. A friend introduced me to Intelligentsia late last year and when I did went to the Silverlake location, I was rather put-off by the pricing. $4.50 for a hot chai tea latte? Really? This better be good... ...and it was! The best and most flavorful chai tea latte I ever had! So when the Pasadena location opened, I was all ready to get myself another hot cup of goodness! I'm happy to report that this place doesn't disappoint. The baristas working there were dressed like they were working in a high-end bar. The fella who took my chai tea latte order (was not even on the menu) was very pleasant and cordial. Drink was prepared piping hot and delicious. My only gripe is I could have given more. Free wi-fi was a huge plus too! I have not yet tried their coffee drinks...guess I need to plan my return soon. read more

Boy am I glad this Inteligentsia location opened in Old Town! After almost a decade of parading around Colorado Blvd in my spare time, I am thoroughly grateful to be able to get a good cup of coffee that is not Starbucks or Coffee Bean (not that I don't visit those establishments.. because when you need some coffee, well you need some coffee). I went to this Intelligentsia for the very first time with my mom after some very disappointing lunch at nearby Il Fornaio, she had a latte and I had a soy latte to go. The Black Cat espresso beans they use were perfectly roasted and balanced, while the milk was nicely tempered and frothed. My soy latte definitely made me that much happier after an almost-excruciating brunch, so thank you Intelligentsia! I can't wait to come back and enjoy a cappuccino and some yummy-looking pastries in the spacious and charming environment. I also saw that they serve lunch from 11-3, so perhaps that's worth a try as well.. read more

My friend invited me here for a coffee/tea date, and I was surprised how cute this cafe was! It's super hip and clean. I ordered an iced herbal tea ($4) and a Nutella danish ($4). The prices were steep, but the service and ambiance made up for it. The Nutella danish was extra crunchy and dry, so I would avoid that. This is a fun meet-up or date place. Definitely check it out! read more

I've always heard about Intelligentsia from friends, and the reviews of any independent coffee house in LA always seem to mention Intelligentsia as a point of comparison. So when I was visiting a friend in Pasadena one day we decided to try it. I was expecting something like Urth Caffe, but Intelligentsia definitely has a distinct style..it definitely feels much more like a cafe than a coffee shop. There menu is really simple, and includes coffee, cappucinos, a latte, and blended drink called an Angeleno. While I didn't like how the beginning of the line wasn't marked, it was easy to follow the other patrons who had an idea of where to stand. You basically tell the barista your order, and then move down the line to the cashier who hands you your drink as you pay for it. The line moved fairly efficiently. The service was friendly and the barista recommended that I try their latte. It definitely tasted richer and creamier than the ones at mass-market chains like Starbucks and Coffee Bean, and I found my self adding only one packet of sugar to make it taste well. They also serve various sandwiches and other Cafe fare, as well as alcoholic beverages. I also liked the ambiance/decor of the place and the unique ceiling lights. The crowd was definitely more on the hipster side, aka, people with thick reading glasses reading a steve jobs biography while sipping on their $5 coffee... I definitely stuck out with my business-casual attire lol but I'm looking forward to trying their other offerings. read more

I love how this location has wine, beer, and savory snacks; another plus is it's pretty spacious with a few different seating areas! I only wish the Venice location I live by had the same! Great place come with your laptop, get a drink or drank and get some work done. read more

Best coffee I've had. I've tried a latte, capp, and drip coffee and each is an experience. Espresso drinks don't need sugar. They are creamy and smooth, delicious. The drip coffee is really a trip. Totally different than anything that comes out of your Mr. Coffee machine. Expensive, so maybe not an everyday thing for me. But quite a treat when the time is right. read more

OMG to the best coffee evAr! I'm not a coffee aficionado, in fact I'm supposed to limit my coffee intake to need to be bases only due to my body's reaction to caffeine. Trying to shake off a 16hr jet lag is what brought me here and I talked out knowing I will only enjoy one kind of coffee from now on. All of their blends are described with fruits which mislead me to think I was looking at fruit blends. In fact they are just imaginative writing to describe the blend's taste. I can't be sure I really tasted "orange" in my most basic "ice coffee" but I can confirm it is the best coffee I've ever had. Not only its super smooth, it really had the multi-layer of taste implied by the menu. I was shocked a coffee can taste so complex. Its like having French food for the 1st time after having Big Mac all your life! The decor and friendly staff added to the experience! read more

Pretty hipster place. If you like coffee and micro brews this is the spot! They make fancy coffee, slow drip, catered to you coffee. Then on the other end of the counter, you have some awesome wine and beers. They have a few on draft the rest are canned or bottled read more

Intelligentsia Coffee - Beer and coffee from the same place! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

First time here. The two guys were working were super friendly and made recommendations when requested. I enjoyed my latte and my sister had some mocha drink along with a chocolate fudge cookie with sea salt on top. read more

I had been reserved about going in here for awhile but now I've been a few times and it's pretty chill. Cool ambience. Clean. Good lighting and their coffee, damn good! Seating is decent in the afternoon, when it's not as busy. I've stepped in during an evening and found the place packed but still a place here or there to grab. There is a small fridge with a variety of drinks that are pricey for a quick refrigerated beverage but they appear to be pretty good drinks as opposed to soda and the junk you find at some places. There are a couple vegan sweets if you are looking for that. I haven't tried the pastries but they appear as if they are actually cooked rather than processed. Not sure what the case is but they look like they would taste better than something you found at sbux..sorry sbux... Customer service is mixed. They're not bad though. Sometimes they are just warmer/friendlier than other times. No big deal. Restrooms are downstairs and clean. read more

Intelligentsia Coffee - Delicious iced coffee with your bae - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stopped by for a quick cappuccino and americano! The corn flakes cookie was really good!

Pour over was good, iced latte with almond milk tasted watery...my biggest pet peeve. Especially if I'm paying over a total of $10. Nice atmosphere although it is pretty dark in the back. You go here for the hip atmosphere but don't expect to get your mind blown by the coffee. read more

I was heading to the L A Convention Center and stop by my old town, Pasadena, for a visit. All of a sudden I remember that Intelligentsia Espresso Bar just opened a branch in Pasadena, CA, so I said I had to stop by for a great cup of cappuccino. I ordered a plain butter croissant and their traditional cappuccino. The croissant was very buttery with great texture. The cappuccino was very well balance with a great tulip design on the surface. My morning was complete and satisfied. They need to focus on serving guests more from ordering to walking thru the process of their espresso beverages if ask. I like the vibe of the place very much. A great cup of espresso beverage worthed its price. read more

Intelligentsia is a laid back coffee joint with minimalistic / rustic decor and a great music playlist. They serve up some amazingly strong coffee and one of the better cheese plates I've tasted, which had really delicious samplings of ricotta, burrata and goat cheese. Their salads and sandwiches are also pretty good. I had the wild mushroom sandwich with an orzo pasta and arugula salad. It was super tasty, full of flavor, and filling. I love everything about this place, however the only downside is the price. Though quite expensive for a quick bite and coffee, I will definitely come back. I'm always in town and Intelligentsia beats any coffee shop around the area. read more

Compared to the Silver Lake location, this one is big! The servers are all dressed up very nicely, too. Not only does this one serve coffee, but they also serve sandwiches and have a beer and wine bar as well! The downside is that it is rather pricey compared to the chain coffee shops, such as Starbucks or Peet's. And the mocha I got looked nicer, but it really did not taste any better in my opinion. So I do not feel that you get what you pay for here. This place fits well on Colorado Boulevard in Old Town, and I am glad I checked it out. Worth a try! read more

I really like everything about this place. Really good coffee (of course you're paying enough for it to be that good), really good muffins, trendy and fun atmosphere, cool to bring other people and just hang out. Not the best for studying or having a quiet time because it did get a little busy. Definitely coming back. read more

I take my coffee seriously, and I love it when others do, too. Came in to study with a friend around three in the afternoon on a weekday when it was pouring cats and dogs outside, and was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and coziness of the space. Despite the high ceilings and the industrial feel with the exposed bulbs strung around, the place feels small and invites you to sit and stay a while. Ordered a mocha and my order promptly came up at the bar via an extremely friendly (and cute!) barista. Loved the details with the foam art, and took my first sip when sitting at one of the narrow counters flanked by comfy barstools. Can I just say 'love'? The coffee was the right temperature and it was deliciously rich and chocolaty, with a little bitterness (assuming from the bittersweet chocolate) which made it perfect. Paired it with a pistachio cream-filled eclair which was a very interesting flavor combination but nothing to write home about. My only complaints are the lack of outlets (as others have mentioned) and the awkward three hour gap between lunch and dinner service (lunch is served until 3 P.M. sharp and dinner starts at 6 P.M.). If you want anything more substantial than a scone or some zucchini bread, make sure to come before or after these times. Otherwise, very conveniently located near 90 minute free parking on Union and a breath of fresh air between the Starbucks and Coffee Bean locations nearby. read more

Well, I thought I would update my first mocha experience by sharing about my second one. Thanks to a member on Yelp who sent me a message, I found out that what I thought was coffee grinds at the end of my mocha drink was actually chocolate grains. It's very grainy in taste and it made the last 1/4 of the cup kind of bitter in taste. I decided to ask more about that today, and the staff was helpful and explained that their chocolate is on the grainy side. They suggested adding some syrup to help with that so it's not too bitter at the end of the cup. I decided to go ahead and try their suggestion in ordering my 2nd mocha. I must admit their suggestion did help with the bitter taste that I first experienced in the last 1/4 of the cup. However, I have to admit I'm just not too thrilled about the texture of the grainy chocolate. It still makes me think of coffee grains even though I now know its actually chocolate grains. But I'm not going to let my personal preference for mocha detract me from this great coffee place. The coffee is absolutely wonderful in taste, I just did not like the chocolate grains. So I think my future drinks will just have to avoid the mocha and I'll probably stick to the regular coffee, lattes or teas. I'm still going to be a great fan of Intelligentsia (just not a fan of the mocha)! read more

This isn't the Mecca of coffee but a related temple. Top 3 roaster in the US and they have their own coffee shop - like going to Columbia for the powder :) Only negative is pricey--perhaps that's bc this is California and I am not used to that. read more

Cappuccinos are great here. A perk is that there are always cute designs. (two different types, the more expensive one isnt much better than the other one) . Really a good atmosphere to do work BUT no outlets! Really limits the amount of work you can do if you are using a laptop. They have wifi but its not their wifi so you are using some other network. Tip: Use the network Pasadena live, it has the best range but its still a bit slow. Tip: Restrooms are downstairs. They served food here ($10-17) not great but not bad either. I had the brie/pear/roast beef sandwich. Espressos are served with soda water back. I really want to give this place a 5, but NO OUTLETS how am I suppose to do work? Real work, meaning a full battery life of 7 hours on my mac isnt going to cut it. read more

Five Stars for the Coffee Shop I like coffee just an FYI. You walk in and there is a 'studious" vibe. Plenty of people studying and writing on their laptops. Love the look of the place. The chackboards used for the menus and plenty of seating throughout. The walls are lined with black and white and book themed photos. Now for the coffee. I tried a hazelnut coffee which was quite delicious and my friend tried the cappuccino with honey. I got a taste and OH MY GOSH it was good. I have never heard of that combo before but was happily surprised. The flavors compliment each other well. So come for coffee! Now for the Bar and Grille next door. I would give it three stars... The food is actually very good and they have great deals. On Thursday night beer is $5 with a hamburger. I tried the Lamb Burger, it was delicious and flavorful. The side salad was okay, nothing to brag about. So why the three stars. We waited, no joke 45 minutes for a table. That is after they told us it was a fifteen min wait. I know there can be off days but call ahead OR go put your name in and then go next door for a coffee...Great Ambiance, dark and a good variety of beers on the menu. So for the rating, I'm splitting the difference and giving them a 4. read more

This is what happens when I have way too much tea late in the afternoon, I stay up late to write yelp reviews. But it's okay because that Chai Tea Latte was well worth it. As of late I've been hooked on Chai Tea, which is odd because I use to hate Chai. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed their Chai Tea Latte here. Great friendly service, cool hipster vibe, and pretty good Chai--I definitely wouldn't mind coming back here again. read more

We wandered into this cute place while roaming around Old Town Pasadena aimlessly. I think you definitely have to be a regular here to love this place. There were no signs as to where to order and/or pay. You just go up to the counter and order with whoever is standing behind the counter, watch them make your drink, then pay at the other end of the counter. I drink a lot of coffee, but nowhere near what most would consider a coffee connoisseur. There were no descriptions or pictures for anything listed on the menu, and I didn't know what half the things were. Alas, I decided on a mocha (seemed safe), and the bf ordered a machiato. The mocha was delicious. Not very sweet - just good quality coffee and cacao. The's bf's machiato was meh... it was just a shot of espresso with a touch of milk on top. He expected an actual drink, like the machiatos at Starbucks or something. Maybe we will eventually learn to be coffee connoisseurs if we come to this place more often. read more

Awesome coffee joint.. Nice seating area, good food, snacks, But do they have wifi? The baristas alls friendly, and I've never been not able to find a seat read more

Coffee in front? Beer in back? OKAY! It was kinda cool. I brought my friend who doesn't drink coffee to Intelligentsia and I was craving caffeine. Somehow we sat at the table together and enjoyed our separate drinks. He had some 7 dollar beer, and I had my 6 dollar mocha. Okay, so 6 bucks is kinda pricey for a cup o' joe, but it was such quality coffee and quality flavor!! Coffee usually gives me that weird stomach ache where I feel like I let out a bomb in my belly and I get all nauseated. (Yes, YOU, Starbucks). However, the coffee here doesn't give me that type of unpleasant experience. So praise the Lord!! Also, the ambiance of the entire area is pretty awesome. It has a kinda industrial kind of feel with cool music and well dressed waiters. I definitely suggest checking this place out and try out the Iced mocha or the hot cafe mocha. not too sweet yet not too bitter. yummo :) read more

So the new brunch menu here in Pasadena is now a week old. We've sampled the buckwheat pancakes, the salmon Benedict, the French toast, and the fritatta. Don't bother with the french toast - the bread tastes like cardboard and there's no sides to speak of. The buckwheat pancakes are surprisingly light and flavorful - win! The salmon Benedict is good but not amazing. I've had better poached eggs at LAMILL. The fritatta is the most complete single plate. The goat cheese on top is delicious. The side greens are pleasant and not overly dressed. Expect however much longer lines than usual with this new menu. The line usually starts right at the front door and it will take a good 15min to order your food. I'm also not convinced that putting the coffee order counter ahead of the register has sped up the ordering process... All in all still a great place to eat & hang on the weekends. read more

This place doesn't really have espresso options. For a cute coffee shop, i expected more, got wayyy less. -No white mochas -No flavors for lattes? -- THAT'S SOOO WEIRD! on top of that, the guy taking the orders-- Super rude. Yes, please give me a drink with a fancy design on top, but that's it. Looks good, tastes ehh. read more

Had a pretty decent latte here and very nice Nutella Danish. However we also wanted green tea from the menu which they didn't have and then when we switched to black tea were told they were out of that too! The coffee was certainly performance art here but we weren't blown away. read more

So I've been to multiple Intelligentsia locations and although Venice is the best, this is the second best. The coffee is better at Venice (you may think I'm silly but it's all about the grind and pour and it just isn't the same) but the ambiance, seating, and line is WAY better here. I can almost always order right away and there are much more tables and bar seats so I never have to scrounge around for somewhere to sit so I can enjoy my hot beverage and get some work done. However, unlike the other location there is no WiFi and similar to the other locations, not place to plug in your laptop so come fully charged if you want to power through some work. Forgot to talk about how amazing their tea is in my other reviews so I'll do it here. It's delicious. Get it. Warms you up, comes in beautiful glass individual pitcher so you can see how much the tea is being steeped. Refreshing and tasty. What's so special about this location? Other than all the other things I've listed above, this location serves real food. Not just pastries and cookies, I'm talking meals. They serve brunch (think delicious eggs benedict type things), lunch (mac & cheese, bread & cheese plates, sandwiches) and dinner. They even have wine and beer here! What an evolved location! I LOVE it! read more

Intelligentsia Coffee - Lovely latte art! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

This review is strictly based on the environment of the cafe and not on the food or drinks. Came here with a friend to try and study, but the place was packed and really not ideal for studying. It seemed to be a little on the loud side and it seems a little bit difficult to order as well because the counters are all so high. As for the staff, they are friendly and greeted us right when we came in. The decor is very nice and artsy, but my friend ended up just ordering a coffee to go and we went to a library to study instead. I wouldn't recommend this cafe for studying or a quiet place to relax. It's more of a chic upbeat place to meet up with friends. read more

We had been to other outposts of Intelligentsia Coffee, (Abbot Kinney in Venice, Sunset in Hollywood) and so coming here we had an inkling of its product, popularity and target demographic. And out of all of the Intelligentsia shops, this outpost has been the most subdued and tranquil. The interior: a cavernous, industrial warehouse of caffeine that exudes a comforting warmth; spacious and airy with just enough head space to feel the creative juices flowing for that movie script you've been working on for the last five years, but dark enough to exude a cavelike womb-dim Edison filament lamps over the reclaimed wood bar, outdoor string lights hanging under a simple black painted ceiling resembles a starry-lit night. The feature wall is painted in a Marseille blue and subconsciously, I am subdued.....while the exposed brick wall on the other side evokes that existential angst that I have carried with me since my days in architecture school. Add to that exposed I-beam column in Bengali Red, and damn, why hast thou forsaken me, Ayn Rand? (But I digress, it must be the industrial stools and fixtures that remind me of endless hours in studio.....they're still as uncomfortable today as they were back then).. With the clatter of espresso machines frothing and and coffee cups clinging, it's still quiet enough to procrastinate the day way, and if you're already wired from the super sophisticated, over the top production coffee that you just guzzled, well there's a full liquor bar right inside! Uppers and downers hooray!!! There is a service delivery issue that should be mentioned; if you haven't visited this location before, it can be confusing. Upon entering, you are greeted with a display case of baked goods; around the corner you see a long counter running the length of the space that combines the coffee making, the register and the seated liquor bar, all with various people lining up in disconnected chaos. At the front, coffee barista asks for your drink order and baked goods, but no hot food items. Then you wait in queue for the register where the staff may or may not get your drink order correct from the barista right next to them; here's where you can order an entree item and pay (maybe for what you ordered, maybe for the order of the person behind you). Then you wait at the same area to pick up your drink, which can take several minutes due to the artisinal production of your caffeinated drink which creates a bottleneck. This causes you to say, "screw it!" and go straight to the bar for a shot.... But without any caffeine in the system, the body is listless and unable to make any sort of emotional commitment whatsoever to an applied physical action, so there you wait....... I will say that the staff is super polite and helpful, as well they are a dapper bunch! The men are swayed in ties and vests, sleeves rolled up to expose their tattoo forearms suggesting their fealty to anti-establishment while in prep hipster performance gear, as the ladies are in all-black La Femme Nikita attire, ready to double agent themselves at any given moment.... For coffee, Rick ordered the Chemex brew of Doyo Ethiopian coffee. Special filters are placed over a glass carafe housing the special grinds and boiling water is slowly poured through to drip into the carafe, resulting in a clean and full tasting cup of coffee. Other methods, such as the Siphon Brewer and French Press are also present in the barista arsenal and each cup is individually prepared, (which doesn't come cheap- $4~5 per cup). They serve a small carafe for a refill, so it may even out in the end......I ordered the iced Doyo coffee, which was wonderfully strong and smooth with a natural sweetness. For breakfast, I ordered the Pork Belly and Egg Sandwich, thick pieces of soft Pork Belly with Egg, Kale, Shredded Carrots and Aoli served on a Brioche bun with a side of potatoes. The Pork Belly was surprisingly light even with the fat, and complimented the morning breakfast Egg and buttery bun. I dont' remember the potatoes, which means they were just meant as filler. But it was satisfying, if a little on the pricey side.... Rick ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was standard. The eggs were poached very well and the Hollandaise sauce was righteous, but again for the price point, you feel as though you're paying for the ambient experience..and the coffee equipment..... read more

Um this place is honestly confusing. I came here with a friend of mine and we had ordered a cappuccino expecting to get something good. Instead we got this mini cup of cappuccino with a shot glass of weird tasting water. We were honestly stumped when we looked at what we had gotten and didn't know what to do with the glass of water. We ended up just drinking it one by one. She had ordered some wheat thing to eat and it honestly didn't taste good at all. It had a bland taste and for $10 it was a huge disappointment. I ordered the cheesecake since i didn't know what else to order and that was good. I like the whipped cream that it had on side. Other than that i wouldn't recommend this place to any of my friends but if you're a hipster and like this kind of scene then this is the place for you! read more

I started going to Intelligentsia on Broadway in Chicago, so I was really happy when they opened LA area locations. I typically just go there to buy Black Cat espresso beans and occasionally an espresso to drink there. Black Cat is awesome. It is one of my two favorite espresso blends I have ever found, and it is regularly in my bean rotation. When I get an espresso made there, it always perfect. They serve it with a glass of soda water to wash it down, a very nice touch. Again, let me restate: I LOVE BLACK CAT. So, why did I only give it three stars when I love their coffee so much? One word: hipsters. It is not their "ironic" mustaches that bother me, but their awful condescending attitude. I get it. They are the "intelligentsia" and we are not. When I go in there to order an espresso or grab a bag of beans, they manage to treat me like they are doing me a favor. None of the employees ever have a smile on their face. I have gone there with my girlfriend, and I have nearly had to restrain her from punching someone behind the counter. In sum, GREAT coffee and HORRIBLE service. read more

Hadn't been to their location before, had only had the coffee. The latte I got was delicious! People who worked there were really nice, and really nice original gifts for coffee lovers! Nice way to start the day! read more

Intelligentsia Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I love this coffee shop! What a hip and cute vibe it is. It's interesting and unique that they serve quality coffee, wine, and beer in one place. It's a great place to hangout, chat, and surf the net. I especially love their cappuccino. I tried one of their sandwich melt, and it was pretty good too! The only thing is that it's at the heart of Old Town Pasadena, so parking and getting there is a hassle for coffee. =/ read more
