We are coffee lovers, living in Pasadena.

Everyday is a new day to go enjoy a coffee that will make our life better.

We try, try and try again, love or don't, discover, forget and loose places,
 and we have decided to share our coffee world.

This is our manifesto, a running document outlining our local shops, 
observed from our personal and subjective angle.

We would like to talk about what a good coffee shop needs to be, 
to appear in this blog:

The space's atmosphere, ambience, the community,
 the convenience and practicality, such as location, parking and transit access, 
the staff, the hours, the prices, the environmental awareness, 
food when needed to be mentioned, and of course, 
the quality of coffee.

Copa Vida

  70 S Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105 Old Town Pasadena,  on the corner of Green Street and Raymond, right across from the gorgeous Castle Green,  open from 7:30 am to 3 pm. The location is super prime, though busy.  Parking is available in large structures for cheap or on the streets with meters.  The businesses around are everywhere and enjoyable. The space is large, with about 90 seats divided into two rooms,  plus an additional 10 outside on the sidewalk. The coffee is above average.  They do their own roasting.  You get your sparkling water with your espresso,  respectfully, and they have been consistent for a while now. The pastries are good, and they have a kitchen serving very good breakfast and lunch. Prices are not abusive, and the staff is nice. We have noticed a slight effort on cleanliness lately,  considering that such a busy place gets dirty easily. We really like Copa Vida for the overall picture. They’re not as ...

Cafe de Leche

5000 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90042   Sweet Café de Leche It used to be located at the top of Lake in Altadena.  Unfortunately, it is closed now, and luckily, their primary location is not far,  on York and Ave 50 in Highland Park. The espresso is tasty, and the Americano follows.  They roast and sell their coffee. The pastries are from  Röckenwagner ,  delivered fresh every day,  as they also do for Jones Coffee.  Affordable too. The location on York is nice,  with plenty of room inside and a bunch of tables on the two sidewalks around.  Great for kids, as the Highland Park playground stands just across,  and great during the day for all the businesses around. Decorated with a fitting, exotic, and arty taste. The staff is nice, as is the owner, who drives her car with license plates you’ll recognize. Parking is fine but a little tricky. Open at 7 am every day until 5 pm. Overall, it’s a highly ranked place.  We alwa...
