Tried out coffee and plants for the first time and it definitely had a lot of decor and hype with it! Drinks: -Chai latte: I think this is the reason for my review. I was really disappointed in the drink. First, the taste of it was interesting and it just fell flat in some ways. I did think the taste was kind of strong, but hmm it's not fair to them since I can't really describe it. What I can say though is that given their price, their small (one) sizes, I was surprised to find that my cup was a little less than 3/4 filled. I get with coffee, there's room for sugar/cream or with these lattes, room for whipped cream but usually it's not 1/4 of the cup for that so.. I'm not sure what happened there Seating: -we sat outside and it's a bit on a curve so some of the chairs were a little rickety. Not a big deal though as it's a cute alleyway! Overall: Won't be back to coffee and plants on my own though I don't mind coming with a pal and maybe trying out their food. read more

Found this Super cute, clean, relaxing place with a good coffee and plants. The two girls today are super nice and friendly. The music is very good to listen to and not loud which is good. My favorite here is the refreshing Lavender Cold Latte. Plus, it's pet-friendly! My companion savored the exquisite chocolate croissant, utterly delighted by its exceptional quality. Furthermore, she expressed great satisfaction with the service provided. read more

We were in the area for an open house at an exotic animal veterinary clinic nearby (we've found ourselves with a rescue Sulcata tortoise) and took an opportunity to go to Coffee and Plants. They didn't disappoint and it was nice to be there earlier than last time we stopped in. We accidentally got the child a matcha because I don't know anything about matcha and it does have caffeine so now he's hooked on matcha jk. Everything was delicious! read more

Walked in and didn't see any plants at all. I was confused and wondered if there was more to the place that I was missing. Turns out they were out of stock of nearly everything but one small plant on the shelf. I then looked for coffee beans, which they had only one lonely bag (from another coffee company) sitting out there. I was super disappointed at the experience and it felt like I had wasted my time going there. read more

Came here to try this place because it was up for voting in VegNews as a favorite vegan cafe. The inside is so cute with plants and a nice pastel decor theme. The drinks also look cute and they had some delicious looking pastries as well as JustEgg breakfast toasted/sandwich options. I tried a peach lemonade drink and vegan mushroom pastry. Both were delicious but a bit pricey for my taste especially for a simple lemonade. Seems like it has limited but available seating and I saw people chatting with friends and studying as well. read more

Coffee And Plants (est 2019) is cute lil plant-based coffee shop tucked in an alley way of One Colorado Square in Pasadena. It's founded by Leona Lewis, Dennis Jauch, and friend Achraf Sekhiri. I bet you didn't know that. HaHa! They have specialty drinks, drip and pour-over coffees, cold brews, special teas and seasonal menu items. Its pulchritudinous indoor and outdoor design is infused with faux plants and flowers; indoor seats were limited and layout lacks space but their front outdoor seats make up for it. I was perfunctorily greeted by a staff. I perused their menu and ordered a regular cold brew (10oz) x almond milk. I liked the taste and smoothness. I honestly think it's kinda small for a $6.25 tag price. Condiment section was organized and clean. Staff was competent. Atmosphere was relaxing. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed my drink as a first time visitor. read more

I came in right before my obscenely early facial appointment. I ordered a hot vanilla latte with oatmilk and it hit just the spot. The cafe is super cute and inviting. The woman at the counter was friendly enough (I don't blame her, it was 8am on a Saturday morning).I plan on making this my regular coffee spot whenever I'm in the area. read more

Coffee and Plants - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

This cute little shop, sitting in a side alley, sells coffee and pastries. And plants! Plants all over the place! There are a handful of tables inside and many more outside. Everything here is plant-based which means only oat milk or almond milk for your latte. I ordered a vanilla latte and a slice of pumpkin pie. I appreciated the pie was served on a real plate and the latte in a cup & saucer rather than a to-go cup. I sat outside and enjoyed some nice weather and people-watching. The latte was good but I'm used to whole milk which I much prefer in a latte. The pie was fresh with good crust and a simple, unembellished flavor. Staff here were quite pleasant. Prices were definitely on the high side; honestly the highest I've ever paid for a latte. There is a huge parking structure across the street, also at a premium price. All in all it's got a great vibe and is a good spot to meet a friend or date. read more

Quaint, cozy spot in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, this little coffee shop is a great place to catch up with some friends or to get some work done. It feels like a little plant oasis, and yes, it's real plants! Thankfully whenever I come here, I'm able to find inside seating where I can plug in my computer to a power outlet, but I can imagine seating being somewhat limited during warmer days. I've tried a few drinks here and I really liked their Rosebowl latte. It has a flowery taste, so for those who are not into floral, I wouldn't recommend this drink, but rather go with the 24k charcoal latte. Drinks here start at around $7, a little pricey for coffee, but that is Pasadena for ya ;) I haven't tried any of their foods, but some of their little pastries looked quite tasty. Will keep this one in my go-to coffee shop! read more

Great drinks and muffin but the up-charge for delivery is actually insane. They're charging upwards of $60 for (1) drink on Grubhub. If you go in person it's your regular overpriced lattes (~$7-$9) but their grubhub pricing strategy is definitely questionable.. read more

The decor of the coffee shop was incredibly inviting and charming, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The cute touches added to the overall appeal, making it a delightful place to spend time. One unique aspect of this coffee shop is its complete plant-based approach, offering only almond or oat milk for those who prefer milk in their coffee or teas. I decided to try their vanilla iced latte with almond milk, and while it was good, I felt that it could have used less milk to bring out the coffee's flavor more. They don't have restrooms for their guests. read more

Great staff, location, shop, drinks and snacks! My friend and I enjoyed catching up at Coffee and Plants.

Loved this quaint coffee shop. Went with a vegan friend who recommended the Avocado Tartine. It was delectable. Thick multi- grain toast topped with avocado, pickled red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers. Also had a cappuccino with oatmilk, which was also very good. The decor and service were great. The cost was a little pricey but it's also downtown Pasadena, so you have to expect that. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Absolutely, the cutest sweetest place to get coffee, tea or breakfast. If you weren't happy before you went in, you will be.!

The shop was super cute and the sole team member that was there was really nice and efficient. I got one of their limited edition Dubai Chocolate drink and it was okay but didnt taste like the Dubai Chocolate. It was super pricey at $10! I had the Pasadena Passport so I got 10% off. Overall, I would give this shop another chance and I'll probably try one of their signature drinks instead. read more

Coffee and Plants - Lavender Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Coffee and Plants is a gorgeous coffee shop located right off of 62 W Union St. It is right in the heart of a collection of shops and other eateries. What's great is that the area has tons to see and explore. You could happily spend hours just taking in the contemporary classic architecture of the city or just browsing through endless rows of shops. The inside of this quaint store is brightened by the array of lush flora hugging each wall. You feel as if you're resting in the midst of a garden. They sell some baked goods as well as coffee, teas, and some a handful of non-coffee drinks. The barista was very friendly, and she provided me some wonderful insights into the business as well as drink recommendations. What's great is that I learned that they are dedicated to reducing their carbon footprint by reducing reliance on the diary industry by offering more plant-based products. This pet-friendly cafe donates a portion of its proceeds to the National Forest Foundation and Hopefield Animal Sanctuary. I tried out their Cookie Butter Latte ($7.50). It's a mild roasted coffee body sweetened by a bit of cookie butter syrup and crumbled bits of (I think) Biscoff cookies. It's a bit on the sweeter side but I enjoyed it nonetheless. read more

I have been coming to Coffee and Plants with my husband since they first opened in 2019 or so. In the beginning, it was a wonderful coffee shop that seemed to provide an intentionally curated third place with amazing plant-based drinks and pastries. The baristas used to be some of the best in town that were always warm and friendly and went out of their way to foster a sense of community. In the last couple of years, this has significantly changed for the worse. We've continued to go back hoping it was just one-off bad experiences, but the last several times we have been in, it has been horrible. I think it is finally time to admit and accept that Coffee and Plants is no longer what it was. This last time we came in, we were the only other customers other than one individual (seemingly a friend of the barista) sitting on his computer. The barista and this customer were having a personal conversation and my husband and I stood their awkwardly going unacknowledged other than a glance in our direction for a solid two minutes. No greeting or an "I'll be right there with you." Just the barista going on talking with his friend, which would've been fine if it was eventually rectified, but when he came to the register to take our orders, he was equally dismissive and rude and acted as if we were a burden. We ordered the specialty Valentine's latte (the love potion) because we had it in the past and loved it. The drink we received was a sad excuse for what it is marketed as and what we have known it to be. The espresso tasted burnt and there was no chocolate raspberry drizzle or sugar rim as it was shown in their advertising. Drinks used to be made with a lot of care, but that is no longer the case. A similar experience happened back in December when we came in for one of their Holiday drinks. Unfortunately, this experience with the rude barista has happened many times before. They seem to hire individuals who just simply do not care about customer service or even being a kind human being period. We have also been in the store many times when one of the co-owners is working, and he is the worst of them all as it pertains to being unkind and rude. I wish I had answers as to what changed this coffee shop so drastically, but it has gotten so bad, and it is not a good look. Once upon a time the coffee was good, but that is all in the past. With so many coffee shops providing plant-based options now, I would say you are better off spending your money somewhere else and supporting a business that treats its patrons with basic kindness and respect. read more

Honestly the place is super cute. The ambiance and the service were absolutely amazing. It's a nice vibe for the coffee dates my best friend and I love to have. We try a new place each time and this one has been on our list for a while. As the drinks go they were mid at best. The pink matcha I got with oat milk. (The only options are almond or oat) To be honest it was beautiful but wasn't really my cup of tea. The cold brew was mid at best. It's cute but that's really all. Wouldn't probably come back. read more

The 24K charcoal latte was unique and I enjoyed the flavor, a little gritty towards the end. The superfood latte contains maca, a root used for medicine.

Coffee and plants is situated in Pasadena proper near Colorado boulevard where it is full of shops. Colorful walkways and a dazzling place where every turn a surprise. A city of juxtapositions --it's unpredictable in a way that keeps you interested whether you are on a quest with friends or solo adventuring. Oh, right...the review. I arrived late morning on a weekday and people were already filling in. I ordered the almond muffin with cherry glaze and the blue lavender latte with almond milk. The muffin was brown and the latte was blue. The muffin was tasty and the latte was too. The lavender sprinkled on top of latte gave a nice herby infusion, perhaps for some an acquired taste. Did you know lavender is good for antibacterial activity, boosts gut health, and anti-inflammatory properties? You do now. Anywho, The Inside of the restaurant was completely dipped in pink and plants adorned the walls; outside was also a vibe. I'm obsessed with their clean, minimalist aesthetic. Everything is completely plant based, friendly vibes, and a clean environment. Look at the ingredients of the restaurant: food, beverages, and vibes. You can buy plants and merchandise. As if plants didn't give it away, everything here is never not vegan! They also serve other breakfast options other than muffins. Including pastries and a few toast options. The egg brand used for toast is Just Egg. Next time, I have my eyes on the avocado toast and the pink matcha. I would also order some of the pastries. I'm not a coffee drinker...shh don't tell anyone. However, I do appreciate that they offer non-coffee beverages. "You change the world by being yourself!"

Cutesy coffeeshop especially with their holiday-themed decorations up. Service was so friendly - there was a single barista working as a large number of people entered and he was so pleasant in taking care of all of our orders. I didn't realize initially that this shop was completely plant-based, so was happy to order my blue lavender latte with oat milk without an additional upcharge. The chocolate croissant was also quite good, personally liked it better than their chia loaf. Next time would like to sit in the shop and have a leisurely drink and snack, and try another of their specialty drinks. read more

I liked how the sweetness did not overpower the coffee taste. There were also cookies crumbs sprinkled on top which was a delicious addition. When I'm in Pasadena, I will be coming back to try their other drinks and pastries. read more

Such a cute shop! Almost missed it because it's in an alley. It's very cutely decorated with plants and pink/green themed items. I had the matcha white chocolate muffin and the chocolate chip sea salt cookie. My favorite between the two was definitely the muffin! They heated both items up and the muffin fell apart after so I was nervous, but it turned out to be really good! You could definitely taste the matcha. The muffin was also really moist and crumbly at the same time; haven't had a vegan muffin that's tasted as good as this in a while! The white chocolate chips weren't too sweet, so this was appreciated. The cookie fell apart very easily so it was hard to eat/hold when hot; it was fine when cold but the cookie was very grainy. Flavor wise, it was a pretty standard cookie, nothing crazy. I'd definitely come back for the muffin and to try a croissant. The latte came with oat milk as standard - yay for no extra charge! It was a smaller latte and was very balanced. read more

This place is such a cute little coffee shop! It's tucked away in an alley, but not difficult to miss the cute flowers and bicycle outside. The decoration and vibes are just soo pretty. I love how the drinks are all plant based and they have fun flavors like blue lavender and chagaccino (has mushroom). The drinks can be a bit pricey at 7-8 bucks, but the unique flavors are worth trying! Parking can be found nearby at De Lacey (one dollar for the first two hours). read more
