Pretty good coffee here, love how there is a brewery that is right next to it. Fun place to come and socialize with friends

Love the Rosebud Chai, Rosebud's version of a dirty chai! Yum! Great wifi (although they do not have wifi on weekends). Great parking! Great service too! I love the social impact that this place is all about too. read more

I love this spot! Part coffee shop, part brewery. What more could you want? I love the Colorado breakfast sandwich - it feels different than your average breakfast sandwich because of the Canadian bacon. I always get a cold brew or lavender latte - both solid Options. I love that they employ foster youth and support the community. Great spot in Pasadena :) read more

You know...I wasn't sure how to start a review for a place I had high hopes for. Went to Huntington Library and needed a drink for the long drive home. Parking: at 1 pm parked around the corner Ordered: vanilla late and matcha with oatmilk. Cost: $13 Staff: professional Conclusion: drinks were okay... I drove for over 1.5 hours and I still couldn't finish 1/4 of my drink. Was not good at all. Ended up throwing it away when I got home. Would I try this place again- maybe, but it's definitely not in my"must try again" list. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Very cool place to hang out, eat, or chill. Nice staff! I liked the environment there.

Thank you for having controls on the WiFi. The last time I was in I was frustrated by every table taken as a work station. One hour per purchase would be awesome. read more

Great flat white and gf chocolate donut. Service friendly. Ambience industrial as the coffee shop shares space with a brewery.

Came by with a friend and Rosebud was bumpin! Ambiance- -a very busy but bustling vibe. You have lunch table /bar type esque setups, tall tables, normal tables, bigger group seating, smaller ones as well. It's a hybrid coffee shop in the day and brewery/bar (I think) at night. I saw previous reviews about staff giving out passive aggressive notes asking you to leave when the brewery/bar was about to open but I actually found it find. It's similar to lights subtly being flickered/off or when last calls are told. It's just that it was the first time for sure. Service- It was normal I guess? Felt very matter of fact, which is fine for me. I don't know what type of day they might be having. Drink- Spicy Chai Latte: I loooveee chai!! A solid drink, it's definitely on the smaller side like a lot of cafes which is just how things are headed I guess. but was delicious! I don't know if I'd need to come back to Rosebud especially with the time differences but I liked the laid back feels and would be interested to try the brewery/bar next time as well. Definitely willing to come back when in the area or with pals! read more

Coffee and burrito were both fine, but it's for a good cause. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, both out front and a patio area in the back. Friendly service! read more

Rosebud Coffee is the right amount of casual, hipster, and down-to-earth for us! We enjoy the vibe and the coffee here.

I may be entering my coffee shop era and this is the perfect place to add to the list if you're in a similar boat. This place is amazing! The atmosphere, the space, the staff, the wifi; it's all great. My first time walking in, it was pretty decently packed. But there were still plenty of seats. I've been back quite a few times since to get some work done. I love that there is usually plenty of space and seating options. The drinks and food are pretty good. The options are pretty simple & standard. I usually get an iced matcha or iced mocha and some pastry or toast (depending on the morning). I do like that they are eco-conscious as they use glassware for in-person drinks which is great. It's perfect for me as I can get some pretty solid work done. It's also a great place to have a 1:1 chat with someone. Plus, they have their own parking lot, with plenty of space, which is a huge plus, especially in Pasadena. It turns into a brewery in the afternoon (around 3pm-4pm). But if you're a mid-morning person looking for a casual space to get work done like me, this is a great spot! read more

Rosebud Coffee - Iced Matcha Latte and Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Tied for my favorite coffee place in Pasadena. The vanilla latte is always consistent and the service is always great (did not realize they support the youth in the community-- amazing!) I have also tried the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito, both reasonably priced and delicious. It can get a little crowded sometimes but the inside is clean and well-kept, and there is both seating on the inside and the outside as well. Don't forget they also have a parking lot in the back, which is so convenient. And be sure to enter your phone # at the counter every time you visit to rack up some points. I can't wait to go back! read more

Love their mission to support and train youth! Vanilla latte was good and the space was lively without making it difficult to do work. Baristas were very nice and helpful. There was plenty of seating inside and most people there were doing work when I came on a weekday morning. Parking was very easy in the lot in the back. I'd definitely come back to Rosebud! read more

This is a cute coffee spot that is inside the Wild Parrot Brewery. It took us a little bit to find it since the address is technically on the side street, but with a little exploration, we finally found it. It is definitely popular since it was full on a Saturday morning (mid-morning) and there was a line to order. Kudos to Rosebud for having alternative "milks" (oat, soy, etc.). There is a nice selection of pastries, but nothing gluten-free so we weren't able to try anything. Our coffee drinks (lattes and mochas), but nothing to make a special trip for. They do not provide wifi on the weekends and have "no laptops" on several of their tables. Neither of these were an issue for us since we were simply grabbing coffees for the road, but could be a game changer for others. read more

This place is where you go for community. If you are looking for a quiet coffee shop, where you can be left alone, this is not it. The sound, feel, and look is very maximalist in the sense that whoever created this space was very intentional and thoughtful about utilizing every little nook and cranny to ensure all are welcome, whether babies or pooches. There's an area for brewing, ordering coffee and pastries, and another for food. Plenty of seating to play board games or card games. The theme seems to be the Pasadena parrots, which, (if you know you know) is also part of the merch. There's polaroids of the baristas and their favorite drinks at the register and seasonal drinks as well. I ordered the maple latte but it was nothing to talk about. I also ordered the apple danish (?) and that was the start of the show. I don't like cooked fruit but the flakiness of pastry, the subtle saltiness of the butter, and the tartness of the apples are perfectly balanced by the caramel and crumbles on top. I'm not sure what apples those are, but that is the best selection of apples for that Danish (?) I officially have a favorite fall food and it is the apple Danish. read more

Great coffee spot to get work done! Ample seating options from benches, individual tables to high tops. Free WiFi on weekdays! Didn't realize this but they share the space with Wild Parrot Brewing. Seems like when one shop closes, the other opens. The Rosebud Chai was delish! All the chai flavors with a hint of salt. The cortado was okay, too. I'd come back here to get work done. read more

Cool ambiance. The music is a bit loud for studying or working, but if you're here to chill i think it's a cool vibe. I got the matcha with whole milk + syrup and cold brew coffee. The cold brew and matcha were both really watered down. The matcha latte just tasted like milk honestly. We ended up throwing out both our drinks without finishing them. I might come by another time to try out their other items, but so far it was a bit disappointing. The bar side looked pretty cool though, might stop by for trivia night to scope out the vibe. Service was great! read more

:: Drink :: I ordered the Iced Vanilla Latte and it was good, not too sweet which I like. :: Service :: Customer service was good, the gentleman that took my order was nice. I guess I haven't been here in a while, I didn't know they expanded and now have a brewery in the same spot. :: Parking :: There's a parking lot in the back and there's street parking in front of the shop. There is an outdoor seating area in the back as well. :: Restroom :: Yes, they have a restroom. read more

I came here on a Sunday because I had a lot of homework to do, and was disappointed to find a lot of the tables blocked off from being used by laptops. When I finally found one to use, I went to go find the Wi-Fi information, just to find a sign that says they don't have Wi-Fi on weekends. I understand that they're trying to foster community, but it's unrealistic to expect that people still don't have work on the weekends. I think blocking off tables from being used my laptop is one thing, but not having Wi-Fi is a completely other thing. I drink an iced chai, it was just OK, not worth the price because it really tasted like milk and not like the chai spices. I really like the mission of this place, but I feel like the policies on the weekends are unrealistic to the normal person's life . read more

I have been going to this tanning place for years and right next to it is this coffee place/brewery. Today was the first time i went inside and it was such a nice and pleasant place to visit. Since it is also a brewery, you would see the huge tanks for brewing beer as the same time which is call Wild Parrot. But it was a bit early for beer at 10:30 for me (kidding, they dont open beer section till 3pm) Had a cold brew and a breakfast burrito. I am not a coffee connoisseur or food critic but everything tasted good. They have very simple items for breakfast and pastry and a good selection for coffee. The thing i love about this place is the ambience, the people who works there. Very cool neighborhood vibe. I'd rather spend my money here than another Starbucks. Support local business, it is a very nice place to have your coffee and do some work on your laptop. (its s big place and lots of seats available, but go early as they fill up by noon). read more

I first discovered this place pre-pandemic because my colleague and I needed somewhere to meet and work. It used to not get so crowded, but I think the word got out. Great place to sit and chill or work. But last time I was there, it was packed. Also, easy parking (own parking lot, and street parking seems pretty easy), and a HUGE space. read more

Unfortunately our experience was not great at all due to most of the employees being so grumpy looking and not being friendly at all .its a shame to spend a Saturday morning and to have a whole staff being so standoffish .watched one of the baristas messing with her hair and sure maybe not touching the drink but than observe her grab a lid and it flipped around ..she touches the inside of the lid .gotta have some food handling standards and smiles should be part of the day . read more

This place has nice atmosphere & outdoor seats in the back parking lot. It's especially busy on the weekends. Great place to hang or "study" They don't stock much pastry. If you come in the afternoon, it's probably all gone. Even at 11.30, there was only a few left. We got kimchi n bacon croissant that's only available on weekends (the spinach n cheese I hear is popular too). It's pricey and the spam doesn't taste much like spam. The coconut raisin bread is a classic - safe choice if you like sweets and coconut. The drinks are ok. Coffee is good. Tea is unsweetened by default btw. They also have brewery and food like tacos inside. read more

Rosebud Coffee doesn't stand out from the busy street on Pasadena, but its honorable mission and affordable coffee make it a place to visit. Rosebud employs early career individuals from underserved communities through serving affordable, tasty coffee. I have ordered the iced latte and oat latte here before. The regular version was a delight, but the oat version was a bit on the watery side. Other than drinks, all staff members are friendly and a great addition to the calm atmosphere. It shares a location with Wild Parrot, a brewery, but even during hours where both are open at the same time, there is a seamless compatibility. Rosebud has quick with wifi and service - could not ask for more for a short afternoon work environment / break. read more

This place has somehow become my favorite spot for coffee. I love their rosebud salted mocha. Nothing super special about their drinks, just exceptionally well made. Their breakfast burritos are nice as well, the sauce I think is ***chef's kiss***. I have yet to try their pastries, but maybe next time. Parking lot is usually clutch for a spot, it's free, but I have had a time where it was full and I just parked on the street, wasn't a big deal (no meters). The place shares a room with a brewery, but they're open during opposing hours so no interference; I mentioned it just so you don't think you're in the wrong place. read more

"Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you." - MLK . With that said let's begin this coffee review. Rosebud Coffee (est. 2017) is an artisan coffee shop in Pasadena. They're located at th corner of Colorado blvd and Roosevelt ave. Back story, they began as an old coffee cart traveling around Los Angeles as a way to empower homeless and transitional-aged youth while they practiced their newfound craft, serving an amazing cup of coffee. They serve a variety of different coffees, espressos, and teas. Their indoor layout is spacious but half of that space is shared with a Brewery. They have some colorful art decor over a huge slab of white painted wall. It was our first time here and after we perused their menu and most of breakfast sandwiches items were not available except for one. Bummer! However, they have scant pastries that look depressing. Thus, we passed on it. We decided to get a hot Rose Latte. It tasted great! You can definitely taste the rose essence in your latte. Female staff were patient, friendly and professional. Service was on point. Prices were fair and competitive. Ample of street parking and rear parking lot. Overall, we had a modest experience, good hot drinks, but was disheartened due to lack of breakfast food items. read more

I came to Rosebud Coffee today and it is one of my new favorite coffee spots. The inside is SO CUTE and there are a lot of places to sit - but it can get a bit crowded. It was such a good place for me to work on my homework. Get the vanilla latte when you come here, you won't be disappointed. Also, as I was leaving I saw they have an outside patio! It was raining today, but I can definitely see it being a great lounge spot when it's sunny. Overall, amazing! Will definitely be comings back here soon. read more

There's plenty of green curb parking right in front of the store to get your coffee to go. This coffee shop shares the same space with a brewery, but share a small side on the right and the rest is the brewery. I am usually very fond of walking in to smell a nice aroma of roasted coffee beans, but all you smell is beer and nachos lol. It's pretty loud here too, so it's definitely not a very quiet coffee shop you're looking for if you're here to study. It's probably a good place to chat with some friends, but not a really good working space. All the tables are shared between the brewery and coffee, so find any tables you like. I went ahead and ordered my hot latte, but the cashier didn't seem very welcoming at all. He didn't even say "thank you" when I finished my payment or tell me where i'm suppose to wait for my coffee lol... So I waited by the side, got my coffee, and left. I liked how they don't charge extra for milk substitutes, such as oat or almond milk, so that was neat. I had my order with oat milk to try, which after the first few sips, I thought the coffee itself was just okay. It also left a weird little bitter aftertaste that I didn't seem to like. The drink wasn't terrible, but I feel like it wasn't worth it from this experience. It was definitely strong for me because I felt very caffeinated from it, but other than that, the taste was a bit lacking. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Hot Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

4 stars An interesting coffee shop. It shares a space with one other business, Wild Parrot...which means I now have to go back to try Wild Parrot! This visit, I ordered a lavendar latte, a bacon & cheddar scone, and a Colorado bacon breakfast sandwich. Their lattes are not too sweet and the coffee has a good balance of bitter and acidic. As a weak coffee drinker, I would recommend their lattes. The bacon & cheddar scone was my favorite! It was just the perfect level of savory to me and the bacon was visibly there. The Colorado bacon sandwich is basically an Egg Mcmuffin, but with a very thin slice of tomato and some cracked pepper in it. Here's the thing, the English muffin was crunchy on the outside, but wet/soggy on the inside (kind like a tres leche texture). I thought it made for a great contrast in texture, but I can see this being an issue for people who hate soggy foods (and drippy sandwiches). The taste of the sandwich was peppery, not too salty, and the bacon (aka ham slice) was very lean. Would I get this again? Maybe...? Overall, I appreciate that the food isn't overly salty and I would come back again to try different things on the menu. read more

I am sad to write this review since I was really excited to try it out since I moved to Pasadena a couple months ago. I will provide constructive criticism for the business in hopes that the issues I faced as a customer can be resolved for others: 1. The only good thing is the parking, there is a back lot. 2. There were several issues with WiFi connection. The cashier was very friendly and assisted me for over two hours in hopes of getting the internet issue resolved. However we had no luck, and many other customers faced the same issue. The cashier mentioned this happens frequently . I hope the business owner can get the internet issue resolved since this will cause customers like myself to not return. 3. The coffee wasn't my favorite cup of coffee. I do respect the effort in being authentic, however I personally felt the coffee wasn't very potent in the drink - lavender latte and the rosebud latte. 4. I was expecting to find cute latte designs on top of my coffee foam since this is what is advertised on Yelp by the owner. However my latte was lacking this. I hope this review helps the business resolve issues read more

Rosebud Coffee - Lavender latte, $6.50 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Very nice atmosphere for a casual cup of coffee. Convenient parking in the back and shared area to buy more food.

Parking is decent, plenty of street parking. The table I wanted to sit at was dirty so I asked for napkins but they went a step beyond that and cleaned/sanitized the table and chairs for me. I really appreciated that!! Great customer service! Inside is half of a brewery and the other side is the coffee shop but you can sit anywhere. I was trying to have a serious conversation but it was way too loud inside. It's def not a quiet coffee shop. The almond croissant was pretty good! read more

Cute little spot with lots of free parking in the back! Pretty rare in Pasadena. Inside it shares space with a brewery (that opens at night after the coffee shop closes) which is why there was a lot of seating. Still crowded for a rainy day on a Tuesday during a weekday. There's outlets for seating along the walls, but not as many as you might think, so plan accordingly! The hojicha latte was great, not too sweet and you can taste the roasted tea flavor. I also enjoyed the ricotta and fig jam toast. I came here for a drawing date with a friend and I would come back to do the same again! read more
