    Strawberry Matcha Rain, Banana Cream Coffee Latte, Coffee Rain
    Jeremy D.

    I had the Strawberry Matcha Rain. The matcha foam was great. A bit too much ice, interesting flavor. The store is nice clean, doesn't feel like a regular coffee shop.

    Very clean and cute place with plenty of indoor seating. Great spot for studying. Parking was easy with a free lot in the back and additional street parking available. Staff were nice, though service was a bit slow. We ordered the Matcha Rain (unsweetened) and Banana Cream Latte, along with the Tropical Mango and Espresso Tiramisu for dessert. The matcha was a bit of a letdown. It tasted more milky than matcha-forward. The banana latte wasn't bad and didn't taste artificial, but it leaned on the sweeter side. For desserts, they were a bit pricey, but the espresso tiramisu stood out. Great texture, flavor, and not overly sweet. The mango dessert had potential, but the mango itself insiwas very tart. Overall, a decent spot, especially for studying, but some hits and misses with the drinks and desserts.

    I had a good experience at Danbi Coffee (Pasadena). I ordered the Banana Cream Latte ($6.50 - Iced). The caffeine is soft but uplifting. And when sipped directly from the cup, there's a fresh & clean banana flavor from the cream. There's even a "CRUNCH" from its sprinkled almond toffee. It's not bad. I arrived at Danbi Coffee (Pasadena) on Monday (around 10:50AM). Parking is EASY and FREE which is a very pleasant feeling whenever in Pasadena. There's a public free lot across the street. There's also free street parking nearby. Most street signs say, "2 Hour Parking" or "1 Hour Parking." Staff is friendly and helpful. Staff politely answered all my questions. Staff was also busy with a steady flow of customers. My coffee took eight minutes and five seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Banana Cream Latte ($6.50 - Iced). There's potential since the ingredients taste good quality and well-prepared. For example, I really appreciate how there's mashed up bananas in the cream. However, the drink tastes like separate ingredients all attempting to mesh together. This coffee doesn't taste like bananas; rather, it just tastes like a milky, weak-ish cold brew with squished bananas on top. It's not bad, but the cream tasted better than the coffee... On ambiance, Danbi Coffee (Pasadena) looks relatively clean but old. The plastic chairs have bits of hair in its crevices. There's swathes of dust underneath the corners of the building. The cleaning all felt a little half-done. Fortunately, the tables and general area felt clean. Also, I love how they're generous with the air conditioning; the location is almost chilly and crisp. There's also utility at Danbi Coffee (Pasadena). Although there's only three electrical outlets, they're adapted to hold four sockets each. There's also customer internet with password; the details are displayed near the register on the straw container. There's also a gender neutral restroom. In addition, there's about 12 interior tables, and there's about seven outside tables. There's plenty of seating. Overall, I had a good experience at Danbi Coffee (Pasadena). Parking is EASY and FREE which is a luxury for Pasadena. Although the location is also a bit worn down... there's genuine utility if searching for a solid work/study spot. Danbi Coffee (Pasadena) is not bad. 4.5 out of 5

    Matcha rain and strawberry latte with espresso

    Nice spot to study and get work done at in Pasadena! This cafe has a nice ambiance with a clean interior and they have plenty of tables and several outlets along with outdoor seating available. There is parking available on the streets and their back lot. Their drinks were solid but nothing spectacular imo. I got their matcha rain which is a matcha latte with oat milk and with matcha cream top. I thought it was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was very mild and wasn't as rich as I'd like. It was also on the pricier side of $8. My friend got their strawberry latte with added espresso and that was pretty good with a nice balance of coffee and sweetness from the strawberry bits. Overall a nice spot to study at but i thought their matcha was just okay. I would probably stick to their coffee next time. They also have really pretty cakes on display although quite pricey at $10 and up for each.

    Sunny day at Danbi

    Coffee/boba/matcha shop number 10,000 is here ... Danbi! As a Pasadena guy, I'm moving this one to the top of my list. Here's why: Creamy. If you like an einspanner coffee drink (cream top), put Danbi on your list too. Super creamy and oat milk is available at no extra charge. In fact, all the drinks are priced two or three dollars less than other shops, and the taste is 10/10. There are tons of other options but you cannot beat good coffee. Parking. Unlimited and free behind the shop (which is built into some kind of apartment building I think). Seating. Tons of tables, comfy seating, and great Wifi. It's Sunday afternoon and every table is taken. But there are tall chairs available around this cylinder thing that are very cool. Three baby strollers in the cafe right now, they all contain dogs. Not much in the food department, but the ham and cheese croissant I got was gobbled up in about 10 seconds, so it must have been pretty good. See you At Danbi!

    I visited Danbi Coffee to focus on my course work. There were plenty of street parking on Green, so I didn't bother with their parking lot. I got an ice matcha latte. While I ordered less sugar, I still thought it was a touch too sweet. It was still a good drink. There were plenty of seats, but crowded due to its proximity to Pasadena City College. It gets pretty loud but what really bothered me was the temperature. I was trembling after an hour. For a typical spring day (76F), I had worn T shirt and shorts. Overall, would revisit.

    I've frequented this shop now and it's 5 stars in my eyes. The matcha rain has been consistently smooth and tastes the same every time. A little sweeter but it's good! The internet is great speed for working, even if sitting in the outdoor tables. Free street parking around too!

    I love their banana matcha and strawberry matcha rain. Very thick and you can taste the matcha and fruit. Parking is also very easy. Plenty of seats inside but it's always packed. Their pastries are alright though.

    Heard nothing but great things about this place and when I happened to be in the area I had to make the stop. There's plenty of street parking around which was great. Upon entering there was a line of about 5 people in front of me. I was looking at the merch items on the wall and couldn't help but notice all the dust. I waited for my turn and when the time came the barista was not welcoming. I ordered the Einspanner coffee and while good I have definitely had better. I noticed the majority of folks were ordering matcha so maybe next time I'll try that.

    Alyssa O.

    I kept wondering why so many customers were ordering the matcha rain, so I had to try it myself -- and man, it was delicious. Definitely a must-try. Their iced latte was also pretty tasty. They don't have a huge selection of syrups, but that was fine with me. I believe the one I chose was honey-based. I probably looked a little funny walking out with a matcha and an iced latte in hand, but I couldn't decide. Besides, whichever one I didn't really like, I just gave to my husband lol. If you're around Pasadena, definitely try this spot.

    Cute coffee and matcha spot! It's down the street from PCC but came by during lunch and it was not busy. I can imagine how busy this place can be with students studying. Street parking is available but there is a parking lot available across the street as well, super convenient! They have drinks and pastries too! We tried the: Matcha Matcha Rain Banana Cream Matcha Matcha Latte All 10/10 recommended. Tomato Basil croissant(?): Highly recommend this. It's like a pizza. Blueberry scone: your basic scone. Nothing too special. Overall, friendly service, good vibes and good drinks!

    I've tried many items and I love them all. My top three are coffee einspanner, banana coffee, and banana matcha. My most favorite coffee place in LA!

    Matcha Rain aka double matcha
    Vu N.

    Danbi coffee. Love how they actually had parking near on the street. Lots of it. Staff was nice as expected. Super hot day so I got myself a matcha rain. Which is their version of a double matcha. Matcha with matcha cream. I just wasn't a fan. It was too thick for my liking. The flavor was ok. But I wasn't happy with the texture.

Interior: Factory tea bar remodel quite a bit so it is a lot more modern and well light. Great studying spot. Wait Time: None as I ordered online. Drinks were ready when I got there.

Egg foam was a solid addition but the egg flavor gets lost when mixed so could use more. 7.5/10 Matcha Einspanner $8 - sweetness was about 50% so could use more. the matcha itself was average, foam was solid and creamy. 8/10 Viet Coffee Einspanner $7.5 - solid viet coffee overall but the foam doesn't do much in my opinion 8/10 Nutty Spice Viet Coffee $7.5 - the pistachio milk added a different taste profile to the coffee which was a nice switch up. Pistachio flavor is definitely strong so get it only if that's what youre looking for.

    I received a message from the management after posting my review about the bitter jasmine tea I…read moreordered at Bopomofo Café. At first, I was honestly worried and thought, "Are they trying to challenge my review?" I usually leave positive reviews, but once I wrote an honest review after being served a completely cold hamburger at another restaurant in Pasadena, and that restaurant filed a complaint that resulted in my review being removed. Because of that experience, I was concerned this might become a similar situation. Instead, they kindly listened to my experience, sent me a thoughtful message, and even invited me back to try the drink again. So, I wanted to post another review because I genuinely appreciated how professionally and graciously they handled the situation. Their response showed care, hospitality, and a sincere desire to improve the customer experience.

What sets them apart from a lot of other boba shops is that they're not just a drink spot--they're an actual café with real food. Most boba places only offer a few pastries or small snacks, but Bopomofo has things like tacos, rice bowls, and sandwiches, which makes it a great place to actually grab a meal. Their drink menu is also really well-rounded. They have boba, tea, coffee, matcha, and their own creative drink creations. The boba is always good--perfectly chewy and consistent. Our family always loves the popcorn chicken. It's a hit every time. My personal favorite is the Hainan Chicken Tacos, and my husband's favorite drink is the Hey Sesame Milk. What really keeps us coming back is their seasonal menu. I love trying their seasonal drinks because they're always coming up with something new and clearly keeping up with trends. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their drinks, especially with the teas they use. I really appreciate that they use premium teas, and I always get excited when I see a new seasonal drink featuring a tea I recognize or want to try. As someone who enjoys tea, I can tell there's real intention behind their menu. Whoever creates their drinks definitely seems to have a passion for tea and actually does the research. With so many new boba shops opening in the area all the time, Bopomofo does a great job of staying relevant without losing what makes them unique. Overall, Bopomofo is creative, consistent, and always worth a stop. Great food, great drinks, and always something new to try.

This particular location though, could use some work with consistency. The selection and quality of pastries and drinks seem to vary throughout my many visits. My top pastries are all of their croissant-like pastries, especially the Pastry Frank (filled with a savory sausage inside) and Mini Strawberry Lemon Cream Croissant (filled with a smooth and tangy lemon cream and fresh strawberries that add a tartness). Both of these have flaky, buttery exterior shells that are wonderful to bite into. For cakes, I love the strawberry soft cream cake. This cake is simple, light, and not too sweet. The thin layers of vanilla, soft cream, and strawberries blend excellently together. I appreciate that they provide free candles with whole cakes.
