A great little gem here in the AV and let's just say I was very impressed. When I walked up to the…read morewindow, I was greeted by the kindest gentleman ever. I asked him questions since it was my first time and he recommended the banana matcha. He took my order and also made my drink. The drink: banana matcha: it was so delicious, it was creamy, flavorful and had that banana natural taste. I was definitely impressed with this drink. Next time I will definitely get a bigger size and will try other drinks. Welcome to the neighborhood

Third time here, third disappointing experience. The coffee is overpriced for the quality, the lids…read moreand cups feel cheap, and the coffee was served dangerously hot. The lid popped off and spilled all over my hand and phone, leaving me burned. I also ordered drip coffee and was told it would take 5-10 minutes to make -- at a coffee shop. That should already be brewing. Nothing about the experience justifies Starbucks-level pricing. The owners need to pay closer attention to quality control, customer experience, and the small details that actually matter in hospitality. Right now it feels more like a concept than a well-run coffee business.

A true hidden gem nestled right in the heart of the healing Altadena community. From the moment I…read morewalked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and helped orient me around the space -- small tables inside with cozy seating both in the front and back. It has that warm, neighborhood-coffee-shop feel that's getting harder to find. The cashier took the time to walk me through the menu and pastry options, which I really appreciated. I landed on the Lil Sumtin' flat white -- made with an herbal and floral honey blend -- and it was absolutely delightful. Paired it with their gluten-free pound cake, which was surprisingly moist and delicious. No compromises on flavor whatsoever. Bonus points: very dog friendly, street parking available, and a small shared lot with neighboring small businesses that I'm already planning to explore on my next visit. Altadena still has such a special energy that proves its motto Altadena Strong and Unincorporated fits right into it. Highly recommend stopping in!

I was looking for a local roaster so I can have some freshly roasted beans to grind in the morning…read more Freshly roasted? The bag I purchased had been roasted that morning, so yes. They are a small family business so I can understand if the hours posted on Yelp are not always accurate. They also will not have a large variety of roasted beans on hand on any given day, but will fill orders. This is an old school business, so just call ahead before you go.

A quaint coffee roaster off of Ventura boulevard. There's street parking as well as a small parking…read morelot in the back. The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.

Pretty big space inside, some seating for you to meet up with someone or work. I asked what's the most popular drink and he said the vanilla iced latte. I went with that as all the specialty drinks didn't interest me too much and seemed like they would be too sweet. It didn't take too long until it was ready. Nice flavor! Strong coffee without being bitter whatsoever, it tastes like good quality espresso. And it wasn't too sweet, I got it half sweet with the vanilla, and it was nicely balanced. I wish there were less sweet specialty coffee options so I could try something more unique but it was still good!
