    Ordered an iced americano with almond milk and it was perfect. With the addition of the cookie it was a perfect balance of coffee and a sweet treat. I love the eclectic vintage vibes inside and love the outdoor seating for people watching.

    Cozy neighborhood coffee shop vibes. People of all ages were chilling with their coffee or other caffeine drinks with their books or laptops. I stopped by here because I had some time to kill before an appointment nearby. It was my first time in this area of south pas. It's across the street from the metro station, very convenient. I sat outside after getting my order because it was busy inside. No seats available around 2pm on a Monday. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk. The latte was creamy but the espresso didn't have a strong taste. The pain au chocolate was tasty and a nice afternoon treat.

    The coffee is fantastic which is to be expected. I just came for the coffee early one morning. No waiting. Lots of baked goods though I didn't get any. Because it was so early there was lots of street parking.

    I love Jones coffee roasters and had never been to this location. I always thought the Raymond Ave location was its own. Pleasant surprise coming here. Same great coffee sane exceptional service and bonus. I get to see my favorite baristas as they switch from each location. This one has a different vibe a bit more eclectic and dare I say "cool"? No live music but a nice upstairs area with plenty of seating and a different more laid back crowd. They still serve the best tasting coffee in the area hands down.

    Enjoyed my coffee at this location. Plenty of sitting indoors and outdoors. Not too busy on a Sunday afternoon.

    Outside entrance.  Coffee awaits.

    This is a very cute coffee shop in a very cool, old building. I don't go for the sugary milkshakey coffee drinks but the cold brew was smooth and delicious. It tasted like quality coffee to me. The counter folks were very friendly. Park on the street and good luck to you with that.

    I have been going to Jones for well over a decade. I like to support local businesses and their coffee has always been on point. The South Pasadena shop is in a charming vintage building with very cute chair related decor. Service is very good and the coffee is still wonderful. I usually order the latte and the foam is very light, almost like a cappuccino. They have indoor and outdoor tables and it's a good spot to do some people watching outside.

    Definitely an all-time favorite in Pasadena! This spot is absolutely lovely, nice ambiance and the drink selection is more than you could ask for. I usually stick with a latte hot or iced or a cappuccino, but I recommend anything on the menu. Check it out if you have the chance!

    Came here to get some work done on my computer and was SHOCKED when I was told there is no WiFi at this establishment. What kinda coffee shop doesn't have WiFi? They have a beautiful outdoor space but there's no point because I couldn't get work done

    Chill coffee spot in charming South Pasadena. Love the old-school vibe--red brick building surrounded by a variety of plants, tucked right beside the train station. Plenty of patio space for seating. The two-story interior is super cozy, with wooden floors, antique decor, and large pane windows. Many people come here to read, chat, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. The coffee was absolutely delicious--hot, decadent, and creamy. Perfect for a chilly winter day. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! I'll definitely be back

    I wandered over here on a Saturday morning. They were across from the thrift/vintage and antique shops. Baristas were friendly. I was surprised to see they offer Fosselman's ice cream here! I got an iced latte with oat milk that was pretty good. No complaints there. There isn't much seating on the bottom floor, but there is plenty of seating upstairs. The bathroom is also upstairs and has an open window 0_o. They have lots of outdoor seating. It's a pretty peaceful place to read a book or journal or sketch here. Imagine old flimsy wooden chairs that need new paint jobs. Parking - I found free street parking in a residential area.

    I'd never get tired of having a love affair with coffee. With that being said, let's begin this spectacular review. :D Jones Coffee Roasters (est 1993) is a family run coffee company in South Pasadena. This coffee shop is a two story building with brick exposed interior/exterior walls. Their atmosphere has a cool vibe, staff were competent and professional and drinks are reasonably priced. They have a compendious selection of coffee from blends to seasonal to decafs. Similarly, they have teas, mugs, and merch for sale. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. I have known this cafe for years but never really had the chance until now. I ordered a Cafe Au Lait (M) x whole milk. It was brewed great! Overall, I enjoyed my coffee and service. I'd definitely come back. I highly recommend them.

    Background On Shop: Believe it or not, but this coffee shop use to be Busters! Parking: There's street parking in the neighboring streets. I usually park in the public parking lot located on the SE corner of Mound Ave. and Hope St. and just have a nice 3 block stroll. Restroom: There is a restroom on the 2nd floor, but during our visit it was out of order. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Ambiance: Pretty cool ambiance, but can be busy. There's still a Buster's vibe to the shop. They also have a second floor that feels a bit like a library. Not ideal place to do work if you don't have a personal hotspot. So it can/maybe adequate for someone that wants to unwind, people watch, catch up with a friend, or even read. Service: Service is pretty good and drinks come out at a decent time. Coffee Of Choice: The drip coffee is very good. Please try to take it all in without all the creamer/milk/sugar. Appreciate the coffee.

They serve breakfast, pastries, coffee and tea (hot/cold) drinks. Their coffee bar is centrally positioned that offers a 360 degree view of the lobby. Seats were very comfortable with a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered an Iced Coffee ($3.27). And it was simple in taste and in appearance but refreshing nonetheless. Service was spot on. Staff was affable and competent. Prices are fair. Offers free wifi and street parking. What captivating for me was their interior design because it kinda reflected that of your own living room with flat screen tv, bookshelves, bar stool, love chair, sofa and a coffee table. Overall, I had a nice experience and somewhat enjoyed my iced coffee; I really like their chill living room vibe. I still recommend this coffee shop.

It's small and cozy, but that just adds to the charm and creates this intimate, relaxing vibe. Highlights Great public parking behind the shop. The service is fantastic and the two guys that I met were genuinely friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. The shop has a sign saying no laptops inside, and honestly, I loved it. It turns the place into a true social space where people actually talk to each other instead of staring at screens. The seating is thoughtfully arranged facing the windows, so beautiful natural sunlight pours in and gives everything such a warm, uplifting feel. They make their own oat milk in-house, and it makes such a difference our drinks tasted absolutely delicious, rich and smooth. The whole place just has great vibes all around.

The crisp taste of well-brewed coffee and chai is refreshing. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment. Also, this is a "Laptop Free Establishment." They have no available electrical outlets and no customer internet.) I arrived at Two Kids (South Pasadena) on Tuesday (around 12:28PM). Parking is free and available. Two Kids (South Pasadena) is located across from South Pasadena City Hall. There's a competitive, free lot in the rear; it's a "4 Hour Parking Limit." Also, there's available, competitive free street parking. Staff is very mellow, professional, and respectful. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff felt very low stress. This location is surprisingly popular, and Staff easily breaks into friendly conversation. My drink took about three minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Espresso w/ Milk & Chai ($6.75 - Iced). The drink is very underwhelming, but it's 1000% better than any chain coffee joint. The Espresso w/ Milk & Chai had a light enduring caffeine, and its flavor is very basic and simple. I would not drive a long distance for these drinks, but if I lived in the immediate area, this business is an easy spot to incorporate into a daily routine. It's affordable and good enough. On ambiance, Two Kids (South Pasadena) happily embraces its "just good enough" features. It lacks many basic amenities; there's no restroom, no customer internet, and no electrical outlets. They proudly have MANY little signs proclaiming how it's a "laptop free establishment." The location is also small; there's about two counter tables and three tiny stool tables. However, Two Kids (South Pasadena) is comfortable. I especially appreciated the air purifier and the strong ventilation. The place felt airy and refreshing. Also, the stereo system is very clear and with chill music. They even had one tiny bottle of hand sanitizer by the counter. It's also very animal friendly since I saw customers walk inside with their dogs on the leash. Overall, Two Kids (South Pasadena) feels built to serve the local community. It's not an impressive spot, but there's glimpses of passion for locals. If you live nearby Two Kids (South Pasadena), I recommend. It's not bad at all. 4.3 out of 5

I once asked the owner about it and he claimed that they do in fact give out items, and said he would check on it that night when I told him the situation. But he never actually asked my name and info, and I've still never received any points since, despite having ordered here about twice a week for the past several weeks. It's not a deal breaker but it's strange.

But the pandan is SUUUPER nice and fragrant like they did not skimp out on the pandan at all. If you've never had pandan I guess I'd describe it as a really fragrant Asian vanilla? It smells really good. Don't let the green scare you! And it's absolutely nothing like matcha-- it's just a sweetener. Tried a sip of the Dirty Milo (hot) and that was really good too but regular sugar is just way, wayyyy too sweet. It's like Asian flavors but American level sweetness here.
