    There's a hair found from inside of my food, and I save it on the receipt

    This McDonald's 2157 Lincoln Ave Altadena ca it has a bad costumer service and I found a hair in the food, and they need to put the soda machine back outside in dinning room

    This is what I spit out!!!!

    I went today to get something to eat for myself and my autistic son. He is the one that called me and asked me for it. Because I have a hard time with him and food if he ask me for something to eat I will buy it. Moving on I ordered 10 piece meal and a big Mack meal with no sauce. Just dry cheese, meat, lettuce and bread. I was eating the big Mack and all of sudden I had like thick saliva like they spit on my burger or something in my mouth. I immediately spit it out grabbed a napkin scraping it off my tongue and spitting it out. I threw up . Thick like snot! When I put my hand on my tongue, and I lifted it off my tongue it was a long string like snot. . I called them a guy named William answered the phone when I asked to speak to a manager. . William then hung up in my face. I called back no answer. I called the sheriffs because I was so grossly sick because of what had happened.. also, the fact that William hung up in my face. The sheriff was kind enough to meet me back at that McDonald's. I informed them that I tried to call.. They than told the sheriff and I that we had to wait William said because they were busy doing orders.. He said I had to wait five minutes was crazy which ended up being more than five minutes just to speak to the manager but in reality it was more than 5 minutes. . The game over I began to tell her what happened Laura is the manager name and she tried to cover up William hanging up the phone on me and said that the phone hangs up by itself and said to me that sometimes the phone hangs up itself and I got completely upset and told Laura the manager that's not true in my case. William hung up in my face.! I asked for my meal to be refunded when giving back the receipt I noticed when I got home she removed the fact that I asked for no spread because I think she knew I was gonna complain so she can use that I have spread on my burger when I didn't. The new receipt she gave me after refunding just showed. I ordered a big Mac meal but fail to put like the original receipt that I asked for no spread. Laura tried to cover up the whole situation telling me they need to check the cameras, but still never told me what it was that I had in my mouth.. never ever again beware of this location in particular they spit in food! Thank God, I didn't give that to my son.

    Drive thru line was the slowest I've ever experienced at a McDonalds. Wrapped around the building, and only moved 1 car in 10min. I bailed.

    Danbi Coffee is easily one of the best cafés I've visited in Pasadena. As a matcha lover, I was…read moreimpressed by the quality and flavor of their matcha drinks--smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. Their dessert selection is just as impressive. The mango mousse and raspberry mousse were light, fresh, and full of flavor. One standout was their Ferrero-inspired chocolate dessert, which featured a rich hazelnut mousse filling and was beautifully presented. The freshly baked croissants were warm, flaky, buttery, and definitely worth trying. The café is clean, welcoming, and offers a great variety of coffee, matcha, pastries, and desserts. Staff is very friendly and helpful and are on top of everything.They get the orders out , really quick. Overall, a 10/10 experience, and I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Pasadena.

We got the mango matcha rain, banana cream matcha, and banana latte. For $7-8 per drink, you get a very SMALL sized cup, I believe it's a 12 oz. Although oat milk is the standard for the matcha drinks, the price for such a small cup was not worth it. For the drinks itself, not sure what kind of matcha powder they are using but it doesn't seem to be grade quality. The banana latte also tasted like milk. Interior wise, plenty of tables & seating. Great for a study spot with ample street parking. Overall, for the price, quality, and sizes, I unfortunately will not be returning.

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.

Cute and quaint is the way I'd describe the vibes. With no more than 4 people allowed in the shop at once, there's almost always a line in front and seating is limited to a few out in the arcade courtyard. I usually like to take my drinks to go so I can grab a pain au chocolat at C.A.R down the street but sometimes I'll linger if a table opens up. They team up with different microbakeries on weekends to host popups, my fave being crumbs and flakes, so that keeps the pastry rotation interesting. My drink of choice now, having tried a few items off the menu, will forever be their gui hua (osmanthus) latte. No one can convince me otherwise. Everyone I know who has tried it, has loved it. While there are a ton of hyped coffee shops and cafes, this one is definitely not one of them.

Over the years, I've been incredibly honored, blessed and humbled to experience coffee in deeper way than most, locally having the experienced Thee Coffee GOATs/Royalty & LA Coffee Pioneers (Glanville & Babinski and the OG crew that includes but not limited to Jaymie Lao, Percy Ramirez, Brent Glanville, M'lissa, Sumi Ali, etc...and including so many more like Mike Phillips, Tyler Wells, Yeekai Lim, Leon Li, Frank La...I can go on and on), to which I am eternally grateful. Regrettably over the last 10 or so years, it has been my perception that much of the specialty coffee industry has: 1) capitulated to the taste buds of the casual coffee drinker (or the masses) and have abandoned their desire to change hearts and minds with education about a new wave of coffee drinking experience; 2) are shops owned and operated by people who are non coffee professionals (you know who you are!) and lack pedigree & experience. I get it. It's tiring and frustrating trying to help customers understand that what they are drinking is not "weak" coffee just because they "can't taste coffee." The masses & self-proclaimed coffee enthusiasts want "strong/bold" coffee but they themselves don't even understand what that means! Youngsters want to drink their iced lattes all the while pretending to be grown ups and/or be part of some trendy shop. they take 100s of pictures of the same latte and finally post one to their intriguing Instagram story. Why? Because trendy, duh! Thank God for Sherry Gao and the undeniably talented team at Mandarin & Mandarin 2. THESE KIDS ARE BONAFIDE COFFEE PROFESSIONALS!!!! They have phenomenal coffee pedigree! If you are familiar with my senseless ramblings, or so-called "reviews", you will notice that this one lacks my customary per item ratings and elaboration. This is intentional. Considering the subject matter of coffee, I simply cannot and will not write about "how good this latte is", etc. With all due respect, I drink spro, and almost always only spros at shops that actually know what they are doing (with an occasional deviation of a spro & some milk or something else interesting to my palate at the moment). So yeah, if you must know, Mandarin 2 is THEE PLACE for coffee. And to all the iced latte experts, please do spare us your expert opinion on coffee.

    This place is for someone who wants to try something new and interesting…read more I'm not Chinese or Asian so these flavors were new to me. I got the seasonal coconut latte and I liked the espresso it was smooth and creamy. My mother got their latte with the milk tea and I personally liked it but she wasn't very happy with it. The baristas weren't accommodating about substitutions or offering to make a new drink. Each business has a right to run it the way they want but be warned that you kind of have to commit to trying something you may not like. This place gives an either you like our drinks or just don't come back type of vibe. They don't really seem to care about appeasing you. Do with that information what you will.
