Jones Coffee Roasters, Raymond


Jones is located on Raymond just before the ArtCenter, by Fillmore Station.


The quality of the coffee is good. 
They have a farm in Guatemala and they roast their own beans.

You can ask for a mug or bring your own and they’ll charge you a little less; however, 
if you ask for a mug in-house, they will charge you taxes.
Their prices are some of the most competitive in that field. 
A small coffee can be really inexpensive, cheaper than Starbucks.

They offer two types of drip, a consistent dark roast, and a medium roast, 
different every day or so, which is interesting.
As for the espresso, it can taste a little nuanced from one day to another.
We wouldn’t put it among the best espressos in town, but it’s pretty decent.

The parking lot doesn’t fit a large number of cars and the streets are not always very open.
They do have a small alley parking area in the back, but even those spaces are limited.
Overall, parking is a challenge and most people know that.
Still, you’re just across from Fillmore Station 
and you can use the metro to get to this place very easily.

The room is large and has something special that tells a story, 

with chairs hanging from the ceiling 

to remember when they used to ask people to bring their own seat. 

At the time, they were only roasters and had started 

to offer degustations in their warehouse.

They offer live music very often, mostly jazz, 

with a level of quality that can be exceptional.

Great way to start a day.
In addition to the live music, 
they also have art exhibits with local artists on display. 
It does not make it a reference like its neighbor, 
the Norton Simon Museum… but it’s fun.

They are open every day at seven and they also have a wine and kombucha bar open between 12 PM and 8 PM during the week; on Sunday they close at 5 PM. 

They also have an attached pizza café.


The people working in that place are nice, and the baristas are good enough.
So yes, everybody loves Jones, which is understandable.

Many people are passing by the place. 
The mood is laid back.
The returning customer community is very diverse, 
a public place as much a scene as it is a coffee house.





The pastry collection is fine and quite affordable as well.
They have both vegan and regular options.
The regular from Röckenwagner.

Enjoyable.

Overall, it’s an address not to miss if you are around Pasadena.

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,   t he 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

Image
  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...
