    Interior (Part 1)
    Ian A.

    I had a good experience at Savvvys (Pasadena). I ordered the Savvvys Special ($7 - 16oz - Iced). It's coffee with agave and cinnamon powder. It's clean, crisp, & chill coffee. I felt awake. I arrived at Savvvys (Pasadena) on Sunday (around 2:20PM). Parking is stressful; it's all paid parking. There's a nearby Parking Garage that says $5 for 24 hours. There's also pay toll machines that charge 25 cents per 12 minutes (2 Hour Time Limit). Staff is polite and professional. Staff is composed and efficient. When asked if they could clean a table, Staff immediately helped. Staff also answered all my questions. My coffee took two minutes and 53 seconds. Good time. As mentioned, I ordered the Savvvys Special ($7 - 16oz - Iced). It's functional and delicious. I appreciated its strength, and the flavor of fresh coffee & cinnamon is pronounced. The coffee is not bitter nor too sweet; rather, it flowed like silk. TASTY! On ambiance, Savvvys (Pasadena) is lovely. I appreciated the cleanliness, greenery, and displayed artwork. The location has about eight tiny interior tables. And the seats are plush and comfortable. There's also utility at Savvvys (Pasadena). There's customer internet with password; details are written on the counter's transparent display. There's also about seven electrical outlets. WOW! The location is filled with studying/working customers. There's even a self-service water station in the corner. I also appreciated the soft music. Overall, I had a good experience at Savvvys (Pasadena). There's quality and charm at this business. If you're searching for another study/work spot in Pasadena, this is an easy recommendation. 4.7 out of 5

    Very cute spot in a Pasadena alley, only thing is the parking but otherwise I really like the vibe. You can stay here for a while and chill or walk around on a hot summer day. The drinks were nice and we came here for the SGV passport deal. Overall very nice

    If you're looking for a productive getaway, this cafe offers a beautifully relaxing and peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for knocking out some homework. I spent about two hours here enjoying the quiet vibes before the afternoon rush brought in a wave of other laptop users, turning it into a focused, communal workspace. The Highlight: The absolute standout of my session was the Matcha Baby Blue. It was incredible, balanced, refreshing, and visually stunning. It was so good that I've already decided I'll be back to work my way through all their different matcha combinations. The Verdict: Whether you need a serene spot to start your day or a modern environment to power through some projects, this place hits the mark. Great vibes and even better drinks, the Matcha Baby Blue is a total game-changer!

    Came here with my best friend on a Sunday morning. This spot is tucked away in the heart of Old Town Pasadena in an alleyway right across from Edwin Mills by Equator. Lovely little spot with greenery all around. I love me some Ube so I automatically gravitated towards the Boo Berry Crumble. I loved it! It was delicious! I ended up ordered it with oat-milk It was definitely blueberry heavy, which I didn't mind. I enjoyed the texture. Enjoyed the drink and the vibes! Service was excellent, the ladies were sweet! Hot tip: come in the early morning on Sundays. Free street meter parking before 10 or 11am.

    What a beautiful coffee and pastry shop! I see the term Instaworthy used a lot these days, but these are one of those places that truly deserve it. More importantly, the drinks and pastries here are good. Full disclosure, I came here, trying to hit up another new pastry spot in the area. But the line was down the block. There was no way I was gonna wait in that line so I found this spot on a quick search. It's almost criminal that there was no one at the shop and it was so close to the other spot. I will say this place doesn't have a lot of visibility from the main street because you'd have to walk in a little bit down, sort of an alleyway with other shops and eateries. The person behind the counter was really, really friendly and helpful. I was able to get my drink (Savvvy's Special) pretty much right away and the Matcha & Pistachio croissant was really delicious. I was on my way to meet up with some friends at their house so I wasn't able to sit here for very long and enjoy the serene and beautiful setting. Definitely a big fan of this place and would love to come back soon.

    We came by to redeem the Savvvys promotion from the SGV passport. It was for a BOGO free on any drink purchase. They are located in the Mills Pl alley area. We came by on same Sunday as the Rose Bowl Marathon so it was very busy. The location has spacious dining areas outside and a few tables inside the shop. The staff was very personable and kind to us. She noted customers periodically use the SGV passport from time to time. We decided on the Savvvys Special and Matcha Chaga. Both of them with Oat Milk. They do offer all kinds of milk alternative bases. Our drinks were completed within minutes and we enjoyed them outside in the patio. IMO, both of them were stellar. The perfect blends of sweetness with the proper amount of caffeine to boost you up for the day! Of the two, I enjoyed the Savvvys the most and would order it again. Savvvys is a great place to kick back and enjoy some coffee and matcha! Check em out! ( ^_^)b

    The shop is so cute and great of photos. Staff is friendly. The drinks were great actually ! They had very unique flavors I haven't seen at other coffee spots. I got the lavender coffee and you can really taste the coffee and it wasn't too sweet. I'm going back there today after I write this review !!

    Easy to find, friendly services, great outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. Lady lavender (4/5) tasty and strong Strawberry chocolate scone (2.5/5) I'm not a scone person but this sounded delicious and was hoping it would change my mind but it didn't. Overall, I would come back and try their other drinks and pastries.

    BOGO thanks to SGV passport :) Rose Matcha Latte and the Cinnamon Latte! The drink was not bad and tasted good. It's very cozy and a vibe in the coffee shop!

    The blueberry drink was really good! Hard to find seating. They were out of stock for the lavender latte and we tried the mushroom pastry which was just ok.

    Such a cute spot with nice outdoor and indoor seating. The ordering area can be cramped during busy hours but you can easily wait outside after. Ordered the Savvvy Special which basically tastes like a honey cinnamon latte. It wasn't overly sweet which I liked and had a good balance of the espresso. Overall a good spot and I would come again

The snacks here were awesome. Whenever here, I tend to order the corn nuggets. So good!! Another snack I started liking was the popcorn chicken. Most places don't add the basil anymore. Right here, they would put lots. The flavors were amazing. They made it with garlic. So tasty!! I recently tried their egg waffles. When they started making it, I noticed the aroma. It was very familiar. It wasn't like other egg waffles at the Hong Kong cafes. They made it with light coconut. Kind of like a Vietnamese style waffle. Pretty good. The drinks...so worth the price. I got a lemon tea for $2.99!! Amazing!! All the snacks came with a sauce. Snacks came out piping hot. The owners here are great. A while back, I was buying drinks for my workplace. At the time, the drinks promotion was no longer avail. I called asking if they would still honor the promotion. I was getting it for work. They agreed without hesitation. They opened late. A great place for late night snacks.

Although the menu is huge, the tea quality remains excellent with customizable sweetness and ice levels. I really like the "create your own tea" option, which not many boba shops offer nowadays. Some of mine and my husband's favorite drinks from here are the Uji Matcha Latte, Fluffy Roasted Oolong Milk Tea, Oreo Milk Tea, and Twinkle Fruit Tea. Each drink tastes like it is made of real brewed tea rather than artificial tea mixes. Also, I have to mention the amazing value of their HK Iced Milk Tea, which is a great and affordable drink option. The cute cups are just a bonus to the tea-forward drinks. As for food, we really like the Hong Kong style egg puff waffle and popcorn chicken. Both of these are great snacks for sharing or just for yourself. For the egg puff waffle, you even have the option to get it extra crispy, depending on your preference. I like that the waffle is only mildly sweet and buttery. The egg flavor really stands out. As for the popcorn chicken, it is juicy and heavily seasoned. There are several different spice levels to choose between and comes with a dipping sauce.

The ube latte was also really good and had actual chunks of ube in it, but it did look different from the pictures since mine had no purple in it at all but at least we know they use real ube. The pandan Vietnamese coffee was really good too as the pandan flavor was strong but still balanced really well with the coffee. They also have egg waffles and other snacks that looked super tempting. There's a good amount of indoor seating and everything has a really vintage vibe which gives the cafe a different ambience compared to a lot of other coffee shops. Service was also really fast!

The cafe is nice and bright with gorgeous paintings on the wall and motivating quotes written beside them. They have a small shared lot that can be pretty tight to get in and out of, especially when there's large vehicles parked there. Thankfully, since it was the end of the day and most of the other businesses were closed, I was able to get in and out easily, with plenty of spots available! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area and in need of a tasty caffeinated beverage!

Found seating outside but moved some plates ourselves from one table to another to find shade for us the kiddo. Grabbed a high chair and got seating set up. A few folks were setting up to play music out on the patio. We ordered inside as expected, thankfully the line wasn't too bad at that time so it went smoothly, though the prices are still higher than the average mom/pop sandwich place (but we anticipated this). We waited a bit for food while the patio band played. Ambience was pretty nice. Our friend's sandwich came out first and about 5 minutes later our food came. However, the Arnold Palmer we ordered didn't arrive with the food so we asked if they'd come back to bring it, and we were told they'd be right back. We waited probably another 5 minutes but drink still didn't come so I went inside to ask about it and saw the drink sitting on the back counter. So I asked staff if I could pick up the drink and they handed it over. Our friend's sandwich (the Jester) looked pretty filling while wife and I ordered/shared the Crown Jewel with cheese and mayo on the side. The Crown Jewel was pretty meh overall. Wasn't as stacked as the Jester and the bread fell apart as I ate it, despite the mayo on the side. At the end of eating someone came by to grab our order numbers and ask how things went. I commented on the wait for the drink and was told they couldn't find us, which sounded strange because they found us when bringing the sandwich and we still had our order number. But she said we could get a free refill. Since I wanted to take advantage of the refill I went inside to inquire but the order counter had gotten extremely busy. So I asked one of the bus/wait staff outside if they could grab my refill. He directed me inside and he commented how busy they were but I said I didn't want to wait in the huge line simply for a refill, so he offered to meet me inside to get the refill. Eventually I did receive the refill and we left. Overall, for the price of the food I felt the service was very average bordering on subpar, and the food was meh for the price. I don't blame the staff as they all seemed to be working very hard, but perhaps they were understaffed which would be more of a management issue. We basically bussed a couple tables on our own and waited what eventually amounted to 20-25 minutes for an ice tea/lemonade. I pre-tipped when I bought the food, which I kind of regretted but also felt bad that the employees were understaffed so I likely would have left a tip anyways. I don't plan to go back anytime soon. Wish the food and service were better
