Stumptown




1982 LINCOLN AVE PASADENA, CA 91103





Stumptown is located on Lincoln in Pasadena, accessible from the 210.

The quality of the coffee is remarkable. 

They offer a choice of different single-origin espressos 

that make such a difference and rotate seasonally.

They don’t charge extra for additional milk options.

They are concerned about the environment, 

giving you a discount if you have your drink in-house or bring your own cup.

The place is warm and well decorated, with three different options for seating: 

outdoor, a mixed indoor/outdoor area, and indoor.

We would have preferred few tables on the back building,

the street is busy and the sidewalk narrow.

A parking lot is available, and street parking is very easy.

 This is the only Stumptown you can find in the Los Angeles area, which is very lucky.

They have several shops in America —

 five in Portland, three in New York, one in Kyoto, Japan, and only one in Los Angeles, 

which is the one here. 

They also offer beans to be purchased for home, 

as well as other merchandise like cups and mugs. 

Pastries are not overpriced, and even though we didn’t try them, they look pretty decent.

Stumptown is at the very top of our favorite experiences.

They know what they’re doing, and it shows in the quality of the drinks.

They open really early, like 6:30 during the week and 7:30 during the weekend, 

which is another plus because in Pasadena there are very few options to get coffee at 6:30 

— maybe Stumptown is number one.

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

  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...
