Upon arrival we were so confused! This little coffee shop is located inside a restaurant called Guisados (which we also tried). We went quite early and there was plenty of parking. The cashier was very friendly. I decided to try the cereal killer with Cocoa Puffs & it was so good. I'm not sure what the base is but it tasted like cafe de olla which I love! There is also plenty of tables in case you wanna have a little coffee date. read more

Was confused at first but realized the caffeinated cart was inside guisados. They have a secret menu. You can ask about it and there is at least 4 or 5 additional options. But since it was my first time here i wanted to try to cereal killer. I chose capt crunch and the cereal make the coffee even better. Loved it, although its a bit difficult to eat the cereal. But i loved the flavor or maybe i just like captn crunch. Parking is a little small but there is usally spots. read more

I've been a fan of Caffeinated Cart since Pablo was doing pop ups years ago, so seeing them inside Guisados in Pasadena honestly made me so happy! I've tried the Prietita iced coffee and their iced matcha, and both were amazing. The Prietita has easily become one of my favorite iced coffees, and I'm definitely planning to work my way through the rest of the menu. One thing I love most is the people. Everyone is always so kind, welcoming, and enthusiastic. You can genuinely tell they enjoy making coffee and creating a great experience for everyone who stops by. The parking lot can be a little tight, but it's a small tradeoff for coffee that's this good. I recommend Caffeinated Cart to friends whenever I get the chance because it's one of my favorite coffee spots in Pasadena. read more

I left feeling in-between -- what is this ?! I'll explain: first, big credit goes to the baristas -- super friendly even under pressure of having many customers; also, their drink options are varied (and choice of bean --- Picaresca of ELA is the bomb ! ) So why the initial uncertainty? I ordered the Spanish latte and tasted a smooth dollop of froth similar to when you want a good latte. Where was the flavor? Confused, I pondered my experience and expectations. As my drink sat for the duration of my commute, I took another sip, and then, magic! Where were you!? Finally, the spices hit the spot and it was all good. I happily look forward to my next visit. Ps. I'm curious as to the composition of the Chocolatito -- a mocha Mexicano -- that's made w/ Ghirardelli over a Mexican chocolate? Hmm... read more

Super cute coffee spot found in Guisados. Came here on a Sunday morning around nine thirtyish and people were up for coffee lol Got the Cereal Killer latte which is a Cinnamon Brown Sugar Latter with Cereal garnish. Cereal options are Captain Crunch or Cocoa Puffs. I ended up getting it with the Captain Crunch. How fun! It's like having a bowl of cereal in a drink. Nice twist getting that initial crunch at first drink. I also ended up purchasing their cute tote back. $20 for the bag OR $22 for the bag and a free drink. I was already planning getting a bag and a drink, so I thought this was awesome! Shared parking with Guisados. Good amount of parking. And ample of seating indoor and outdoor. The staff are super friendly! read more

Lets talk about one of the best coffee spots not just in Pasadena but in the general LA area. The caffeinated cart is currently located within Guisados in Pasadena but they have a recurring pop up cart in Long Beach, Lakewood, and Carson. The menu itself is superb with great options for all. They have your classics and can dial in coffee options for true enthusiasts. Now the thing is they also have your sweet AF options with cold foam. Bring your family and friends! Finally, great pricing! Great service! Plenty of options! read more

Second time coming to the caffeinated cart that shares a space with Guisados Pasadena. We've tried the Mocha Mexicano, Spanish Latte, Cereal Killer and seasonal drink earl grey mocha. The workers are always so nice and helpful and we've enjoyed every drink we've ordered so far. The Earl grey mocha is very Earl grey forward which we enjoy. I also appreciate that they don't charge extra for alternative milk options! I think one improvement would be to have boba straws for the cereal killer because you can't really get the cereal bits through the regular straws. However, you could always grab a spoon and eat the cereal bits that way. There's lots of seating inside and parking spaces are a bit tight outside. read more

Amazing coffee actually! Well I may be biased because I like coco puffs lol. But honestly, the restaurant which they share with Guisados has a lot of potential. They need to market it like coffee & burritos + pastry. Their outdoor area is actually really nice and they had nice tunes. The staff were also so friendly! Coming in I only expected to get coffee; but ended up getting burritos too, which was actually good (maybe cook it a bit more so it's less soggy). Otherwise I will be back! read more

At first it's a bit confusing because you have caffeinated cart and guisados inside the same place. parking is in the rear back which is nice. i got myself the La Preciosa which is a brown sugar matcha. i also requested to add captain crunch cereal as toppings. the drink was absolutely delicious. perfect balance and wasn't too sweet. my co worker go to drink is the cereal killer latte w. oat milk. the captain crunch cereal is such a fun topping to add! would love to try their other matcha drinks next time! read more

I've been visiting many coffee shops in Pasadena since I've been posting reviews on Tiktok (@centenolv). I came in today since they popped up on my tiktok FYP and OMG, I'm so glad I did. Hours - Mon 8a-1p | Tue-Sun 8a-3p Parking - parking lot Ordered: Cereal Killer - Captain Crunch 5/5 Cereal Killer - Cocoa Puffs 10/5 The bases are the same (cinnamon brown sugar latte + milk of choice). The cocoa puffs' added a chocolatey after taste vs the cap'n crunch added a sugary after taste. My mom rated the Spanish Latte 4/5. The service was friendly and prompt. There's plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. It is in a restaurant so it's not a typical coffee shop but at least you can wait for you Guisado's order while ordering your coffee :) read more

I stumbled upon this place due to tik tok and now, I keep finding myself coming back here, and for good reason. My sister and I have visited several times, and every single visit has been amazing. The staff is genuinely some of the friendliest you'll meet--they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The lattes are absolutely incredible. My go-to is the La Prietita, while my sister can't get enough of the Cereal Killer. They're crafted perfectly every time. One morning we got lucky and they had fresh conchitas straight out of the oven. I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the best conchitas I've ever had--soft, warm, perfectly sweet, and impossible to eat just one. If you see them available, don't hesitate! The café itself has such a great atmosphere--it's the perfect spot to relax, catch up with a friend, or enjoy your morning coffee. There's also a good-sized parking lot, which makes stopping by easy. It can get a little busier around lunchtime, but if you go in the morning, parking is usually no problem. If you're looking for delicious coffee, amazing pastries, and genuinely kind service, this place is absolutely worth the visit. You'll probably find yourself planning your next trip before you even leave. read more

I had their Meximatcha (cafe de olla but with matcha) with oat and topped with a cream foam, delicious! The cream top was smooth and added a velvety mouthfeel that complemented the matcha and cinnamon well. It wasn't overly sweet. The service was welcoming, and I had my drink in no time! I paid in cash, and it was $6. The branding is dope and inviting! Overall, excellent first impression, no notes! I enjoyed my drink and look forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more

After a morning the park we decided to this place a chance after seeing it on IG. It's posted next to Guisados and parking can be a bit of a challenge at their busy times. The staff were nice and seemed friendly. Theres 2 lines one for coffee and one for the tacos so just make sure you're standing in the right line. We tried the Honey Baby and Coqueta. My wife and I were both pretty excited only to leave feeling meh. Both drinks were okay, not bad at all, but not memorable or exciting enough to go back. We were expecting a bit more from the described flavor profiles but it came up a bit flat. read more

The Caffeinated Cart is genuinely serving up some of the best coffee in the SGV and LA in general. It is so good that my husband and I came two days in a row to get our caffeine fix. All of the staff that we interacted with on both days, including the owner, were so warm and welcoming and provided the best service. Both of the days we visited we got Cultura lattes, which is cafe de olla, with almond milk. When it comes to lattes, I find that almond milk is the least forgiving milk choice. If espresso is not good on its own, you're going to know right away if you're using almond milk. However, that is not the case here. The espresso they use in their drinks is genuinely delicious. The blend has a slight green apple taste that is absolutely delightful and pairs deliciously with the cafe de olla spices. The owner also let us know they have rotating single origin beans that you can get as an espresso shot or cortado, which I am very excited to try. I also found out through social media that they allegedly have a banana latte, which I did not see on the menu but absolutely need to try. The Caffeinated Cart is truly a standout coffee spot. Run don't walk! read more

Even before trying this location, his pop ups he does year round never disappoint. The cereal killer latte is a must try if you are unsure on what to try first! The location is very nice, the restaurant was quiet when I went but it was a Wednesday 30 minutes before the cafe closed. We went on a hike afterwords since Pasadena is so beautiful!

I accidentally…read morecame across it while stuck in traffic and we've been craving it and coming back a couple times within a month. We live over an hour away. The chicken stays crispy for a long time and reheats nicely as leftovers. Everything we've ordered is really good and crave-worthy. We got the lucky catsu, curry catsu, crispy shrimp, spam masubi, catsu masubi, orange chicken, crispy chicken. Top two favorites are lucky and curry catsu. Small things I'd personally wish to change is that the onion is too strong in the macaroni salad. Wish it wasn't in there period. And the rice is a little on the dryer side and it sticks to the container- so when you scrape up the last bits of rice, you could be eating the paper from the container. I like that they use compostable containers though!! But yeah the rice is on the harder side especially as leftovers. But whatever, their main items are bomb and makes me not care about anything else. Service is quick! Note: it is not a sit down restaurant. You order (ahead) and park on the street and call them to let them know you're outside. They'll bring the food out. Reception isn't great outside fyi. I've been here 3 times and never last long enough to get a photo before digging in. There are two other vegan restaurants right next to it, same concept - order and pick up. Great for different options if one is craving Mexican from Cena or hot dogs from All franks.

To be very honest, I love this place so much. I am currently sad because they are not open. I've…read morebeen looking every day to see when they will open back up from the macaroni to the spam. Anything that you get here is good.

Want to keep this place a secret because of how cute the ambiance is, but at the same time, want to…read moreshare this spot with the Yelp community so that other people can get to experience the drinks from N' Beyond as well. My friend told me that a new drink spot had opened up in the Alhambra area and I was intrigued. After doing some research, I found that by day, they primarily serve pho and Vietnamese food (Pho Ever) and during the evening on select nights, they serve specialized drinks and Vietnamese finger foods (N' Beyond). Put that together and you get Pho Ever N' Beyond! So cute. Anyway, this location is a bit obscure. It's located right off the 10 Freeway by Garfield and Hellman next to Circle K. There's a small parking lot as well as street parking. Hours are still changing, so definitely check Yelp or call the restaurant to see if they're open. As of now, they're open Friday - Sunday from 7:30 - 11:30 PM. The first time I came, my friend and I didn't really know what to expect. The pho restaurant was closing and the workers seemed to be in the process of cleaning up the restaurant. Luckily they have a very cute outdoor patio (perfect for a date!) with tons of flowers and greenery. We ordered at the cashier and our drinks and food were brought out to us. I asked for recommendations and went with the Mango Macchiato ($7). Kind of regretted the decision, only because I'm not a big smoothie fan and this drink was pretty much like a blended smoothie/shake. There was sea salt cream and mango jelly - really tasted premium with loads of mango flavor. I personally just thought it was a little sweet. My parents loved it though and devoured the drink once I brought it home. My friend ordered the Black Goji Berry Tea with Lychee ($7) - one of the most pretty drinks! I didn't try it, but she really enjoyed it. Said she could taste the lychee and the goji berry. We also ordered the banh mi brisket ($6) and chicken egg roll ($6). I was surprised that the banh mi was an actual whole sandwich. Packed with ingredients and I really enjoyed the flavor of the brisket. As for the egg roll, crispy and tasty - we ate everything. So I had to return to get a drink that I would enjoy. I ended up trying the Citrus Sunrise ($7) - this came with orange juice, jasmine osmanthus tea, honey citron jam, and some rosemary. I think there was also some jelly bits as well. Really refreshing and light, perfect for a hot day. P.L.O ($7) - peach, lemongrass, orange, lemonade, and jelly. My sister requested for the drink to be sweeter because she was worried that the lemongrass would overpower the taste, but surprisingly the lemongrass was really subtle. The drink was actually a bit on the fragrant/light side, almost as if it was missing a little acid or citrus to blend it all together. I liked the addition of the chia seeds, but I definitely preferred the Citrus Sunrise. And we also were able to try the Ube Frostie ($7). Seriously, the tea places that make ube blended drinks can't compare because the ube here tasted so fresh and decadent, along with the blended components of the drink. Felt almost like an elevated ube milkshake but the word milkshake doesn't do this drink justice at all. Not too sweet - my parents thought this was the best drink out of the three. They currently have a grand opening promotion if you're able to snag a card for BOGO 50% off; they also have a Yelp promotion of 20% off if you order a minimum of $15. The workers who helped me were all super nice and helpful. I definitely am going to return to try as many drinks as I can. Feel reluctant to share this spot, but at the same time, I really hope they do well. They really put a ton of effort into not just the taste, but also the presentation. Will be back!

Their hot dog is the platonic ideal of what a hot dog should be. The old bay seasoning on their crispy tots is a stroke of genius. The inside is small, so it's basically an outdoor-only seating or take-it-to-go situation. Thankfully a tall brick wall, umbrella-toting picnic tables, and large sails give ample shade to their large lot. There are a few parking spots in the back if you're lucky, otherwise street parking should be easy to find. When enough people showed up to eat, it felt like a backyard kickback. Music was a perfect volume for conversation and their Regular Show-esque bespoke mural gave us a lot to talk about. You put your order in with friendly staff inside, and they call your name on speakers when it's ready. Ice cold water is freely available as well as some select beers, wines, and juices. It's not fast food, but it's not slow either -- you can't rush something as delicious as what they have to offer here.

They have their own parking lot, but it's quite limited. Looks like part of it was under construction for expansion. Here's what I ordered: TATOR TOTS - $6 Fried crispy, tossed in old bay. Exactly how it's described and they delivered it--so good! SINGLE BURGER - $9 3oz patty with cheese, butter toasted bun, mayo, chopped chilies, onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce. Solid smash burger!!!!! Nuff said. I was sad they ran out of hand pies and that I because it was the end of the day. Need to come earlier for them.

I had a dreamy Queen Bee latte( espresso, local honey, vanilla extract and almond milk) I would love it more if they had coconut milk as it's better for you and the environment than oat or almond milk.

Saving the croissant for tomorrow so I'll update later but it's huge and looks flaky and yummy. The place is darling, definitely not your typical private equity coffee spot.

Every ingredient felt high quality - the matcha was rich and flavorful, the mochi had a great texture, and even the crunchy topping/cereal added a nice contrast. It's clear they put thought into balancing the different textures and flavors. The only downside was the ordering process. The line setup was a little confusing. It looked like everyone was waiting for the next available order station, but there was actually both an iPad ordering option and a register. Since this wasn't obvious, I ended up waiting longer than necessary while others who realized they could order at the register finished faster. Not a huge issue, just something that could probably be made clearer. The matcha itself is really good though. Their matcha ice cream was also impressive - very matcha-forward and not just sweet. They also have a large space with plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out. They have food options as well, although I didn't try them. Some items seemed a little pricey for what they were, but I'm sure the quality is there. Overall, I'm glad I tried the Matcha Mochi Parfait. It's a fun dessert and definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Nana's Green Tea. Would I come back specifically for it? Probably not, but I can see why people enjoy this spot.

Only thing that didn't sit well was that it was known that it was my dad's birthday and we weren't offered any celebratory complementary desserts of any sort, not that that should be expected, but we did over order for our party so gave decent business I would say. The menu prices suggest that it's quite a nice upscale restaurant which it is, but the interior was nothing special, quite casual. I think I would want a little more pizzazz if I were going here for a romantic date - Calabrian salami pizza: amazing flavor profile, the salami gave a good saltines to it while the hot honey gave a tin of sweet. I'm not the biggest fan of when my savory food is too sweet, but I thought this one was really well done - squid ink pasta: really tiny portion, which was the only bummer but it was so delicious.
