Love the decor...it is cool and unique...looks like they do wine at night too....tucked away on Raymond and not far from the Park and Humane Society.... Service was friendly and helpful....even customers were friendly... They don't have wi-fi which to me is usually a negative but I understand why.... Coffee was good the Vegan Muffin was good...and just the chill relaxing atmosphere was good! I'm definitely gonna try to come back again!

It was moderately busy but many folks were primarily ordering and going. There were plenty of indoor seating and a few right in front. I tend to prefer dark roasts, so I decided to grab the standard issue coffee beans. I saw they also had pour over options, so I ordered one of the Ratnagiri. This was ready in about 10 minutes. I was able to grab a window seat with great natural lighting to enjoy the coffee. They have an outlet nearby, so I felt this could have been a great study spot. For parking, there is street parking available right in front. It could be a bit difficult to back out into traffic. There's also a parking structure nearby as well.

Workers are always friendly and give great recommendations. I have been here numerous times, and my favorite items have been their lychee tonic (though on the pricier end for $9) and the Fist Bump (small black sesame breve), but I also love their hot flat white, as it has the balance of their strong and smooth espresso flavor with the perfect balance of milk. I have also enjoyed the Cloudy, which has subtle notes of red date and pear with a cream top. The drink was nicely balanced and not too sweet. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their coffee drinks, which have strong coffee notes. I also love their coffee cakes, which tend to sell out pretty quickly by midday. The cake is rich and moist with a nice cinnamon-sugar top and pairs nicely with coffee. They have plenty of parking in the back lot. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

Yihui Coffee caught my attention due to its minimalist interior and selection of drink menus. The…read morestore is located on Garvey ave and could be easy to miss. I was in the area on a weekday and decided to stop by before work to grab a coffee. I went at around 8:30 AM and it was busy with many folks doing work. After looking at the menu, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to get given the selection! I asked for a recommendation between drinks and they mentioned if I want a hot drink - Miso White would be good; for a cold drink - Lychee Tonic would be ideal. It was a hotter day, so I opted for the Lychee Tonic. Since it was busy, the wait was ~ 10 minutes for the drink. After giving it a try, it tasted refreshing but I didn't really get the lychee taste. Not the best first impression with the tonic. However, I'd still consider coming back considering their ambience. Also absolutely interested to try their pour over options! Parking is available in the back of the building. American Express is accepted here.

The employees are very kind and welcoming, which always makes a difference. The Coffee: I tried the Maple Spice Latte with Oat Milk from their Winter Menu. To be honest, I couldn't really taste much of the maple flavoring--it mostly just tasted like a sweetened Oat Milk Latte. It was still a good drink, just not as flavorful as I was hoping for based on the name! The Extras: I didn't grab a pastry this time, but they looked delicious in the case. I'd definitely be open to trying one on my next visit. Overall, a very nice spot with great service.

Really wanted to try their Mango Sunrise Matcha but staff said they ran out of mango, maybe next time I'll order that. Pastries were great, ordered them warmed up and they were crispy. Strawberry Matcha -tasted like strawberry ice cream mixed into matcha, no artificial taste. Personally would prefer it to be a bit sweeter, a few sugar packets helped a ton. Always better to not be overly sweet than too sweet and can't fix it. Stockholm Fog -mocha shines through the chai and it was great. It's cinnamon strong and I'm not complaining.

Overall, it seems like the staff could use some customer service training.

Unincorporated Coffee Roasters A Hidden Gem in Altadena!…read more If you're looking for a truly standout coffee spot in Altadena, Unincorporated Coffee Roasters is a must-visit. This local favorite has carved a reputation for exceptional specialty coffee and a warm, inviting atmosphere that keeps me coming back again and again. My absolute favorite drink here is the Fancy Iced Latte -- it's perfectly balanced, refreshing, and never too sweet while still highlighting the rich espresso flavor. Locals and visitors alike often rave about the quality of the coffee and the care that goes into every cup. When it comes to food, the turkey and provolone croissant is a personal favorite -- flaky, buttery, and packed with savory goodness that pairs wonderfully with a cold latte. I also love the everything bagel danish; it's deliciously unique, with a satisfying savory twist that hits the spot in the morning. Both pastries reflect the same thoughtful quality you see in their coffee offerings. The vibe here is cozy and welcoming, with knowledgeable, friendly staff and a neighborhood energy that makes it easy to relax or get some work done. Unincorporated has become a cherished part of the community, and I can confidently say it's one of the best coffee experiences in the area. If you haven't been yet, put it on your morning coffee rotation -- you won't regret it!

After living nearby for several years I finally checked out Unincorporated on a Saturday afternoon, ordering an iced and regular lattes ($6.50 each). They were tasty and well made. Interior is clean and unassuming, staff friendly and approachable. Prices are a little high but not unreasonable for a local coffee shop experience. Parking in the back with a nice patio behind. Worthy of a stop if you're in the area, and a refreshing change from Starbucks and other chains. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5

The inside of the cafe was very spacious and it looks like a great place to study in! My sister ordered the monkey mocha latte, which has a really nice banana flavor to it. I got the cookie butter latte and it has a distinct biscoff flavor to it, which I loved. Both drinks didn't have much of the coffee flavor, but they were both delicious and quite sweet. They have a lot of other drink options too and they seem to have a seasonal menu that changes occasionally (sadly missed the s'mores latte). Service was good too.

There are several spots allocated for HHC patrons and they are marked. This visit, we ordered a black iced coffee with vanilla cold foam, brown sugar maple latte, bagel bomb, and bacon cheddar scone. They make their own syrups and the coffee was good. I really enjoyed the filling of the bagel. If they sold it, I would buy it! I'm going back just for the bagel bomb. I've never had a savory scone but it was quite delicious. It was firm on the outside but fluffy on the inside. They have indoor seating as well as a spacious patio in the back. The tables are set up under the shade but there are a couple of seats that get some sun.

The space is wide open and has plenty of natural lighting. I really enjoyed just how many tables they had for folks to work at. I noticed a bit of college students here so I figured it must be in close proximity to an institution. The music here is more background but ties into the owner's personal beliefs and is Christian-forward music. It was light and honestly not distracting at all. I really enjoyed looking at all the baked goods and they were made by the owner's mom which is so impressive. Stray Dogs has a rotating seasonal menu and I enjoyed their food and beverages. i must say my personal fave was their bear pops.
