    Statement from the business
    Cesar C.

    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...

    My friend suggested we try this coffee shop because she wanted to try the cereal coffee. The coffee was good, but not something I would drive out of my way for. The coffee shop is located inside a restaurant. The parking lot is extremely tight and small. The coffee baristas are very quick!

    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!

    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.

    Best coffee place ! My go to is the serial killer coffee amazing! Captain crunch on top First timers ! You would love this ! Great customer service! Amazing staff there Very friendly and polite . Clean environment, parking spaces available Well recommended for friends and family

    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!

    Come support this cute coffer pop up inside Guisados! Coffee was smooth and not acidic- love their creativity spin on some of their signature lattes (killer cereal!). Service was great - they accommodate me even though I showed up 1 minute before closing (ai did not know). They were so friendly. Definitely going back!

    I got the cereal killer and I recommend it to everyone. I've raved about their coffee to all my friends and coworkers. This is the one coffee I actually will chug because it's that good. Not too sweet and the ratio of coffee and milk is perfect. Parking is tight especially when the place is busy.

    small little coffee shop inside guisados in south pas! drove by after work to try it out since it popped up on my tiktok! i believe the owner was the one who took my order, and he was so nice! was recommending me drinks based on what i liked and very patient. i was planning on getting a matcha and he recommended the honey cinnamon matcha! flavor of cinnamon was stronger but still was able to taste the matcha! would def come back to try their coffees! plenty of parking, which is a huge plus

    this place is pretty cool. my co workers tend to rave about this place so i decided to drive on by & try them out. 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!

    La Prietita (left) & Cereal Killer (right)

    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.

    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!

    Cereal killer with Cap'n Crunch and Sana sana colita de rana matcha
    Mariya K.

    Soooo yummy. I loved the cereal killer latte I got it with Cap'n Crunch on top (you could choose between that or coco puffs) and oat milk. Perfect sweetness. My friends matcha was also pretty good it was a honey cinnamon flavor. This little shop is inside a guisados! You can get a coffee and possibly breakfast so conveniently. Staff were helpful and patient. Definitely worth coming back!

Came here with my daughter yesterday, after she raved to me about how good they were. She was right! We each got their small size, but it was filled with so much goodness to fill our hunger. It's build-your-own everything here at Roots & Rye! Not just acai bowls, but toasts and smoothies as well. Unlimited toppings is a dream come true. I chose green tea matcha and overnight oats for my base. Topped it with banana, strawberries, oats, almonds and almond butter. It was SO good! The matcha tastes just like frozen yogurt. I can't believe these babies are good for us. When I got home around dinner time, I was still full from my açaí bowl. I will be thinking about these bowls until the next time I get them again. Goodness with each bowl, heaven with each bite.

    I recently visited Urth Caffé for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The restaurant was…read morequite busy, and there was a line to order, but it moved fairly quickly. The restaurant offered indoor and patio dining options. However. It was seat yourself so we had to find our own table. I ordered the Vegan Portabella Panini, which featured grilled portabella mushrooms, roasted peppers, wild arugula, grilled artichokes, and a pesto-almond cheese spread. The sandwich had the perfect panini crunch and was packed with flavor. I especially appreciated the fresh, healthy balance of ingredients and it was satisfying without feeling heavy. The panini was served with a side salad that was equally fresh and tasty, making for a well rounded meal. Overall, a delicious and enjoyable dining experience, and I would definitely order it again.

    Urth Caffe Pasadena is a classic. Good location, parking lot nearby that you have to pay for and…read morestreet parking is all paid. The vibes are great here and there are lots of seating. I enjoy the sunrise pizza but my favorite drink by far is the Blended Green Tea Boba. I came recently on a Sunday around 4pm and ordered a blended green tea boba to go. My order took 15 minutes to get. What surprised me the most is that the drink is now a whopping $10.50 and it used to be $8.75 a year ago. Not only has the price increased by 20% but the drink has also gotten smaller. The flavor is still consistent from what it used to be but $10.50 for this drink is insane. I'd rather just get a real matcha drink from a legit coffee/matcha spot.
