Funky hispter vibe and they sell some random merch as well. Possibly in the middle of renovations? I wouldn't say it's a good place to work or study as seating is limited. I got a latte which as far as taste is more on the sour/acidic side of coffee gradient if you like that (gives me heartburn unfortunately). Staff is very friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have. read more

Two Kids - Latte with whole milk $5.75 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Cute coffee shop hidden in South Pasadena! The cashier and baristas were all SO friendly. Seriously, one of the best customer service experiences I've had in awhile at a local coffee shop. The espresso itself was really good. The flavor was strong but not too strong. It was a good blend of smooth and rich. Not much of a study spot, more of a grab and go. We added the house made vanilla syrup and it was a perfect addition to our lattes. 2 hot vanilla lattes, with house made vanilla syrup Parking is free on the side street, if you're lucky to find a spot. If not, there is a parking lot across the street that is free. read more

today was my second time visiting this coffee shop & will likely not ever come back. i specifically asked for easy ice in my vanilla latte and i guess they decided to put EXTRA ice in there instead. i literally had five sips of my latte and it was done. it was definitely not worth $8.50!! i'm sad cuz the drink itself was good, but the amount of ice they put is absurd. don't come here unless u wanna spend a grip on a couple sips of coffee. read more

Came here weekly last year during a lull in my work life and it really comforted me hanging out quietly. I love how family friendly (humans & pups) this coffee shop is and enjoyed the beautiful energy from the people in the community catching up in the mornings. There's music playing in the background but subtle enough it doesn't disrupt you from conversation or reading and variety of seating options indoors as well as outdoors. I always get an iced americano with a pastry on the side. Service is always great, you can tell everyone really enjoys being there. read more

the espresso with house almond milk is soooo good !! normally i feel like almond milk is watery and tasteless but this was probably the creamiest almond milk ive ever tried. two kids sells various items in their store and is also located next to a peaceful bookstore that you can checkout during your visit. it gets really busy and they have limited seating so i definitely recommend getting there early if youre trying to snag a seat. read more

Two Kids - espresso w house almond milk, iced espresso w milk + chai, blueberry coconut scone, ham and cheese croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I was in the area and I found Two Kids Coffee through Yelp, so I decided to pop in and try this coffee shop. After browsing over the menu, I decided to get a Dirty Chai with their house made almond milk. Let me just say... this has to be one of the BEST DIRTY CHAI'S I EVER TASTED. I was definitely in aw of how good this drink is, the creaminess of the almond milk, the sweetness of the chai, and the taste of espresso. I'm still in aw... I will be back, and I would strongly recommend when in the South Pasadena area to come and support this local coffee shop! read more

I really want to love this place. Independently owned. I live right across the street. Great vibes and friendly staff. But they literally move at a snails pace. The inefficiency is just irritating when you just want a decent cup and don't want to go across the street to Starsucks. The coffee itself is ok. I'd like to have more options. Pour overs would be cool but it would probably take an hour to get one. read more

So delicious! I usually feel the same more or less about most coffee shops and cafes but this one really stood out to me! My friend and I ordered a cold brew and an espresso with almond milk and both tasted amazing. I think they use good quality products here and really take care in crafting each drink. Additionally, the service was really great and the space was well designed, not too stark or modern. Can't wait to come back! read more

Finally got to try this because they have early closing hours lol. My meeting was canceled so I decided to use it for a quick coffee run. It was only 4 mins from my house and we ordered iced latte with their house almond milk and regular latte with House vanilla. I'm not an expert coffee drinker because I usually order matcha latte at coffee shop, but this coffee hits different. It's very obvious that they use a high quality coffee. It was too strong for me so I asked for additional vanilla, and they were very nice about it. I would recommend this place if you're an early bird. read more

Two "smug" brats is more like it. Any time I ask to have my coffee prepared a certain way and it's immediately met with, "Well, we..." - red flag. Any coffee shop in the country offers oat milk - except THIS one. I don't care that you make your own almond milk. I walked in directly towards the counter to see no menus there or on the wall; who the hell is paying attention to anything right by the door (which is where they actually were)? No sugar packets, but they have simple syrup. Great: you run a coffee shop that doesn't have basic things. Nice job going out of your way to be 'different' for no good reason. read more

I NEED THE OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE NOWWW. It was legit the perfect size, I genuinely am trying to make out what gives it the hint of sweetness, like it was perfff. Plz someone get back to me. I also got a cappuccino with their house made almond milk and it was perfect. For the matcha lovers I would like to note that they have added sweetener to their matcha ?I believe so heads-up . The barista was nice and informative. It was also very cute. Def need to go back for the oats. read more

The coffee and pastry I had were pretty good. The staff was friendly as well. I liked th atmosphere of the place. Wish they had more seating. Although the staff was friendly, the vibe didn't feel as friendly. I would come back but only for take out. read more

The food is ok and coffee is alright. I came here with my father and was surprised with the limited menu. The coffee is quite different and pastries are okay. I think the service makes up for the experience I had. The ambiance is quite nice as they have records and good decor all around. I would come back only if I was in the area. read more

I just came in and had a pretty bad experience. I had just taken the train all the way specifically here to hang out for an hour or two, have coffee and maybe a pastry, and do a little work on my laptop. I ordered my coffee and started to sit down at the bar table and the barista (guy with beard/mustache/glasses) looked at me strangely, so I asked (honestly) whether I was allowed to sit there. He said "Yes, you can sit there, but are you about to pull out your laptop?" To which I replied yes, and wondered is that a problem? And he proceeded to tell me "None of us can force me not to use your laptop of course, but it really kills the vibes." Not knowing how to respond to that, I meekly told him I'd try not to use it too much. But as I sat there, I felt like I was under a time limit now and had to put this away as quickly as possible. I wasn't comfortable, to say the least. I should have said something back to him, but at that point he was off helping someone else and I just felt like leaving, so I did. Look, I understand the whole "vibe" thing with not wanting a ton of people working on their laptops in coffee shops. If that is this shop's "thing," then fine, but SAY SO UPFRONT. Don't tell your customer AFTER they have ordered and sat down, and make them feel unwelcome. Such a waste of time. Now I have a paid-for coffee and have to go sit somewhere else after traveling all the way down here. Should have just gone to Starbucks across the street. read more

Parking: There's a 4 hour free lot if you go north on Mound Ave right above Mission Street. The coffee was good and the baristas were super friendly. We drank at the bar and it felt like we were at a restaurant as they brought us our drinks and refilled our water. The coffee shop has a bunch of coffee paraphernalia on sale and there's a section selling books and other knickknacks. Really cool to sip on some coffee and shop for some goods! read more

Two Kids - Interior view from the bar! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Stopped by Sunday around noon for coffee. There were plenty of available parking spots on the street. Got a latte. Size was pretty small but it was pretty good. It was nice and creamy. Friendly service. Pretty crowded but fast service. read more

I got a cold brew with almond milk. For an additional $1.50 it should have more than a splash. Coffee was still pretty dark so I was suspicious. But since you can't go in I didn't ask for more milk. Strong coffee but not much flavor in terms of the roast. Pretty mild. My husband got a hot coffee. It was so bad he took two sips to be sure and declared it undrinkable. He said there's never been a hot coffee anywhere he has deemed undrinkable but that was it. I smelled it and it was a combination of a burnt and strangely sour smell. I saw oolong tea in loose leaf form listed so I thought I'd buy some. They should indicate how little they give you. It was $18 for the quantity I would brew in an Asian tea pot. A pathetic quantity for that price. read more

Two Kids - $18 for this??? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This is definitely one of my favorite coffee spot! I am usually not a almond milk type of person but their almond milk is very tasty and matched perfect with the espresso. I love how the coffee flavor balance well with the milk. Staffs there are also super friendly. I also like how they make the dine in drinks with artisanal mugs. read more

This is my second time trying out this cafe. The first time, I got a drip coffee, which was unremarkable. Today, I decided to come here to get a good solid hour of work done on my laptop, and find that there is a "no laptop" policy. I asked the barista "why not," and they said they just dont like people to camp out here. Since I am not here to camp out, I was disappointed, so I decided to try to do some of the brainstorming and written part of my work (without taking out my laptop) and find the the bar table by the window is too high for me to comfortably rest my wrists and forearms on in order to write in my notebook. There is extremely loud band music playing so you cant drown it out wearing ear buds, either. I can't imagine anyine wanting to go here even to relax and be an individual. It's like you are under scrutiny just for living one you enter the door. Very bizarre and inhospitable place with an unimaginative and bare bones menu. I am leaving without finishing the bland $7.50 small latte. read more

I'm a very very picky person when it comes to my espressos/lattes, and this place literally blows me out of the water! Their coffee is SOOOO dang good, definitely my new top go-to spot for lattes. They have non-dairy options for my fellow almond milk/lactose intolerant peeps and their house made almond milk never disappoints. The inside is SUPER cute and reminds me of an art gallery. The coffee place itself is connected to an arts store as well, they have the cutest mugs and handmade items! Parking is super easy in the lot behind the strip mall, lot across the street near Starbucks, or along the streets. read more

Overrated. It's giving me echo park vibes in South Pasadena. And the bookstore next door....it would be cool if the worker greeted us with a "hello". Why is customer service lacking at a lot of places??? Do better. read more

Two Kids - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Two Kids is my favorite coffee shop in South Pas. That's saying something because there are two other shops very close by that I also hold in high regard. What makes Two Kids so special is the atmosphere. It's family-owned, family-operated, and everything about it feels friendly and welcoming. This must be a common sentiment because every time I go, I see a lot of familiar faces and frequently run into friends and neighbors. What else... - The space is extremely cute. It has a unique gallery-style vibe that adds an unpretentious hipness to the atmosphere. - Parking couldn't be any easier. Street parking is as easy as it comes and there's a large, free city lot just around the corner. - The coffee is fantastic and their baristas are skilled at their craft. Even if you have to grab and go and don't get to hang out, the coffee alone is worth it. - The pastries are fantastic. They source from two local bakeries. Both are so good, I can't decide which I like better. In short, Two Kids is a top notch coffee shop and a perfect fit in South Pas. Stop by some time. Maybe I'll see you there. read more

Ok, this place wins. Not only is the shop beautiful, service top-notch, and coffee delish, but they offer the most toddler-appropriate cup size ever, complete with a tiny straw. I'm sure this is relatively easy to do, but at a cost, and the thoughtfulness of this offering blows me away. Plus, being right around the corner from the fire station made this a perfect stop for my truck-loving kiddo! read more

Nothing different- just your regular ceramic cups and plates. Coffee is okay.-nothing new, not tasty, I s not a coffee that makes you happy or wakes you up, not good. I will definitely not come back.

The coffee was a bit bland but the interior was a great place to hang out for a bit. Will come back to try the other drinks

Love love loveeeee everything about this coffee shop. I ordered the espresso with house almond milk and my sis ordered the chai with almond milk. They were delicious and the almond milk definitely had so much depth to it. I especially loved the inside space and all of the books that specifically catered to aesthetics. read more

Great coffee and service, chill vibes and minimal aesthetic. Linked to cool cookbook shop next door so you can sip and browse. Street parking or the public parking lot behind the building. read more

Great little spot that's sorta unassuming but serves great coffee! Was around the area for an appointment and needed a caffeine fix. Very simple cafe, with a variety of fun decor. Got a cappucino with almond milk that's made in house. Typically I don't like almond milk and I much prefer oatmilk as an alternative but it was not available when I went, but their in-house almond milk is good! After I got my drink I decided to take one of the seats to relax and it's got this nice friendly down-to-earth atmosphere. Super friendly staff! read more

Pleasantly surprised with our random coffee stop I got the dirty chai. Chai tends to be overly sweeten. This was great as there was no sweetness as all and you could just taste the spices. The mocha was also similar to the chai in terms of sweatiness. You could taste the chocolate without it being super sweet. The cold brew was a little bit more deeper; roasted flavor than I am used but my husband likes it. Great Neighboor coffee joint. There was a lot of family hanging out with kids enjoying their little milk steamers. Super cute! read more

Just recently started stopping by this shop and it has instantly become one of my favorite coffee spots! Simple, straightforward menu with delicious drinks. The Coffee Soda has been my favorite, but the dirty chai was a close second (not too sweet, but still full of flavor). The baristas are very courteous and helpful. If you're dining in, they bring your drink to you. They also work very efficiently and great as a team. Drinks seem to consistently go out within a matter of minutes. The shop itself is somewhat small, but manages to not feel cluttered due to its minimal layout and has a decent amount of seating - two sofa chairs in the middle of the shop (as shown in many pictures here), a few stools by the window, and four wooden chairs with small tables outside. So far I have always managed to snag a seat even during the busiest times. Definitely a great spot if you want to hangout by yourself or with a friend. Looking forward to going back soon and hopefully trying their food options/pastries! read more

you have to try their house made almond milk. My go to order is always either a hot or iced vanilla almond milk latte --so delicious, consistent, and simple. They never overly sweeten their drinks. The ambience is relaxed, jazzy and comforting. The staff is always so nice, patient, and welcoming Highly recommend this place if you're in Pasadena read more

I was so happy to find Two Kids, the service was the sort of kindness I'd been hoping to find, matched with the most delicious cup of coffee I've had in recent memory. Their house made almond milk is unmatched and they are truly artists at pouring a shot of espresso. The space is beautiful, filled with unique items you'll find it hard to locate elsewhere. I hope you go in and have a similar experience and that it elevates your mood like it did mine. read more

First of all, all the workers are super nice. I have had their hot and cold latte (espresso + milk). I really enjoyed the hot latte. The iced, however, seemed off. The texture was super thick and kind of gritty. It was just enough to be off-putting. I'm not sure if that's just how they make them but I think I'll stick to the hot drinks from now on. It might have just been the specific barista who made it. I like the vibes of the shop but the inside is really unfriendly to sitting and enjoying yourself. It is more like a bougie retail space with a few chairs placed here and there near things for sale in weird places, some right next to the order line, which makes it feel awkward. There are a few bar seats next to the espresso machine and some near the window which is nice. There are a few wooden deck chairs outside which are nice to chill in, but overall, seems like the place is oriented for you to take your coffee and go. 4 stars for the service and the hot espresso drinks. read more

Coffee is pretty good (with a creative menu) and the space is nice. The only (but somewhat big) thing is the food safety and handling. I asked for a straw because the liquid leaks from the lids they use when sipping from them. The guy calling out orders touched the end of the straw with his bare hands and proceeded to give it to me. I have spent enough time in the service industry to know how unsanitary it is and the contamination risks associated with this to throw the straw out. I just took off the lid and sipped from the cup lol. A simple suggestion I have is to place straws (in their original wrappers) out where customers can have easy access to them. It would be nice to change out the lids (and cups?) too. Plenty of cafes nearby use the same cups and lids which do not have the problem of leakage when drinking from the lid. read more

I don't want to leave a bad review because the staff here was really sweet and seemingly popular. The coffee was good, just not my preference. Their espresso blend is more of a fruity/floral blend which I found to be too 'weak' and lacking in depth, again I realize that's a personal preference. I didn't care for the small glass cups the hot latte was served in either. :( There is very little seating and it seems like this is a multi-business shop, forgive my ignorance on that... Being nit-picky I'm sure but isn't that what yelp is for! Again, the staff and shop itself are cute and very nice but I just wasn't too impressed with the coffee. read more
