was super excited to try this place, however, we were slightly disappointed. our drinks were very light in matcha flavor and the color was not as dark green as the pictures. for a drink that's almost $8, you would expect a much stronger matcha flavor. the jasmine syrup was great though! not the worst place ever, but it was super average ordered: jasmine matcha latte matcha latte with cold foam read more

Dash is my go-to coffee house. The coffee is always delicious and the service is great as well. Matt is always fun to talk to and always provides positive vibes. I would try their Pandan Latte if I were you. It's epic! read more

Cool little coffee shop in Pasadena. I tried the Pandan latte. I thought it was pretty good, but my wife didn't like it so much. Tip: Parking is sort of tight here. You may need to park on the street. read more

Oh where do I begin? The strawberry matcha latte is by far one of my favorite drinks ever. It's creamy while also having a strong matcha flavor. I have to hold myself back from drinking it all in 5 minutes. You can order on the kiosk or with a worker. The kiosk is much faster since the employees are usually busy making drinks. Service has always been good and every drink comes out delicious. The yuzu lemon refresher is tart yet incredibly refreshing. The shop itself is pretty small and seating inside is very minimal. They have clean bathrooms which is great. There's some seating right outside. Parking can be a bit of an issue because the parking lot is tiny and it's a one way street. Sometimes you have to loop around the whole block if you don't find parking or pass a spot. The matcha is worth the parking struggle. 10/10 I come every time I'm in the area. read more

I have been on the hunt for the best pandan matcha in the general LA area and this is it! Not overly sweet but you can still appreciate the subtle pandan flavor with the matcha. The hojicha latte was unfortunately just okay, be sure to get it slightly sweetened even if you aren't a sweets person as it was kind of milky. Decent amount of outdoor and indoor seating. Friendly staff. Parking can be tricky because they share a small lot with other businesses. I say grab a drink here and walk a couple blocks to the popular barkery just a few mins away for a perfect snack or breakfast. read more

Both the matcha and Thai tea were very watered down! Not what I expected. No flavor at all.

I've had manyyy strawberry matcha lattes and this is by far one of my favs. The real strawberry puree on the bottom added a perfect level of sweetness that complimented the matcha well. Typically syrups give an unnatural sweetened flavor but their, what seemed homemade strawberry puree, perfectly matched the taste of the matcha and sweetened it well. It was delicious and creamy. My boyfriend got the matcha latte with espresso which I thought was not good, as it was not sweetened so both the matcha and espresso left a bitter taste but he enjoyed it as he doesn't love sweetened drinks. Their matcha is great quality. The only downside is the location is not ideal and parking is very bad. The inside was also very small and busy so it was hard to find somewhere to stand as it took awhile for the drinks to be made. They also forgot the espresso in my boyfriends drink and just made a matcha latte so I would just be careful in checking orders since I knew he paid extra for the espresso and luckily we were able to get it fixed easily. read more

Parking: very small parking lot shared with another business. Street parking can also be hard Interior: very limited seating inside. Some seating outside. Wait Time: none to order, about 5-10min to make drink Items Order: 7.5/10 Matcha Latte w/ Ube Cream $8 - first sip was very delicious with the ube cream being strong and sweet to balance out the matcha and plain milk. After mixing, the ube flavor becomes very light and the drink overall was about 10% sweetness. Had to ask for then I make it sweeter by adding more ube syrup. Matcha flavor died out after mixing. 7.5/10 Pandan Matcha Latte w/ Matcha Cream $8.75 - similar pattern with the first sip being amazing, strong Pandan flavor and mixed well with the matcha cream but after mixing it died down overall in both sweetness to a 30% and flavor. Overall very pricy drinks that were a bit better than ok. Good to try but can definitely find better elsewhere. read more

While in the area I found this place on Yelp. Wanted to get some coffee and this place didn't disappoint. Delicious coffee and also matcha. They have very interesting flavors and make unique drinks. My son loved his drink as well. Iced tea, baked goods and snacks. Something for everyone. Friendly customer service, chill ambiance. Check them out. read more

Match Einspanner - 6/10. It's not sweetened and leans more on the traditional side. I didn't go inside to order so this is my honest and initial impression. Matcha Jasmine - 7/10. It was tasty but nothing crazy! Jasmine flavor with matcha. You get what you ask for! Espresso yuzu Tonic 10/10 - the yuzu paired nicely with the espresso. Super unexpected but it was super delicious! I would def come back for this one. read more

Came around 9:45AM on a Sunday and secured the last parking spot in their lot. We ordered the matcha einspanner, double matcha, biscoff latte, ham and cheese croissant, and orange and cranberry muffin. Unfortunately both matchas were very disappointing, barely any flavor and sweetness at all. I'm not sure what was up since I saw good reviews previously :( I'm not usually a coffee fan but the Biscoff latte was sweet and not too strong! The ham and cheese croissant was crispy and had lots of ham, and I liked that it came with a salad since it was a little salty. My parents enjoyed the muffin and our items came out pretty quickly. Service was decent but I definitely won't be coming back for their matcha sadly read more

3/29/25 Thanks, Sam B for your patronage, review that highlights DASH Bar, no wonder it gets the star rating as one of your favorites! Loved my pandan latte! Sandwiched between Chim Thai Restaurant & Eddie's Edition (hair salon), this small but popular cafe dishes out some tasty beverages & treats. The staff here move in perfect harmony as they maneuver & navigate around each other to craft brews & tasty snacks! It's fascinating watching them work like busy bees to crank out orders w/o missing a beat. The ambiance is chill, music is not too loud. Patrons sit & enjoy their caffeine & treats, or study. Wi-fi password is posted. The decor doubles as merch, cool lighting. There is indoor & outdoor seating (about 8-10 persons indoor, possibly the same outdoors, covered canopy. Parking? Honestly, I don't know where these customers parked lol. There may have been a a stall or two while Hubby just stopped by to drop me off. Tried the almond croissant which was toasted, it was mediocre. Also purchased the pandan/mango cookie which I was planning to pair w/ my pandan latte but the warmed croissant won. Will likely return to try the ube latte read more

I definitely found my new favorite spot!! My sister found this place on Yelp so we decided to check it out and we were not disappointed at all!! I got the strawberry matcha (was good), my sister got the coconut matcha (was soo yummy & reminded me of a drink I had in Asia), and my friend got the biscoff latte (WHICH WAS TASTYYY & our fav)! They also sell Thai snacks/chips which I had to grab a few of. Service here was great! The ladies were so nice and quick with our drinks. There is an outdoor area and limited indoor tables to study/chill at. Will definitely be back!! read more

Got lucky and easily found street parking on a saturday afternoon. Ordered the matcha tonic and it was refreshing! i liked that there was orange bits. the peels took up nearly 1/4 of the volume tho lol. SO liked his expresso tonic, which I thought wasn't so bad either (not usually a fan of coffee). Hojicha latte flavor was weak tho ): they sell a lot of thai chips here which makes me think they share ownership with the thai restaurant next door? Lots of seating outside. cute ambience tho stuffy inside and a good number of people studying read more

Dash Coffee Bar - Matcha tonic - pretty good! Refreshing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Dash Coffee Bar is a speciality coffee shop that focuses on Asian-inspired flavored lattes. They serve coffee beans from Unity Sourcing & Roasting. [Parking]: A very small free private parking lot as the lot is shared with two other businesses - Chim! (Thai restaurant) and Eddie's Edition (barber shop). Luckily someone was leaving as I was about to drive in or else I will be circling around and looking for metered parking. [Atmosphere]: For ordering, they have a self-ordering kiosk. However most customers just ordered their drinks at the cashier counter. Cute interior decor with various Lay's Chinese Potato Chips on the shelves. All tables inside of the cafe were all filled by customers with laptop. They also have an outdoor seating area, but don't expect any fancy outdoor vibe. [Menu]: The top three drinks are Pandan Latte, Ube Latte, and ceremonial Matcha Latte. If you are on a hunt for regular or matcha einspanner then yes they have those drinks. They also sell sandwiches here. *** Pandan Latte (homemade pandan infused syrup, espresso, milk - $6.75): Sweetness was on the point with irresistible aroma - a solid 4.5-star. *** S-tier pandan syrup, but this is not exactly an ideal spot to meet friends or have a date due to poor parking situation and constantly crowded indoor seats. read more

Came on a Sunday morning around 9:45 am and there was a short line to order. There's a few tables inside with more outside but it was pretty packed when we left. We got the double matcha, matcha einspanner and biscoff latte. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the matcha; it was too bland and no matcha taste or sweetness at all. The biscoff latte was however delicious; perfectly sweet and strong and it really tasted like biscoff! We also got the ham and cheese croissant and orange cranberry muffin which were decent. read more

Loved this place but my recent visit was just okay. I think they hired a whole bunch of new workers and I felt as if their service was a bit lacking. Inside was way too warm and felt like they leave the heater on all day. Ordered a iced strawberry matcha latte to try something different and it was pretty mid. They also didnt even whisk the matcha and you can see how powdery it looks in my photo. Not the best in town and it was whatever. I also ordered the thai tea espresso which was so much better. You can taste the tea more than the espresso which leads me to say that I feel like their coffee taste has been lacking. Super weak and mild coffee taste and sometimes the lattes just taste like milk. No 4-cup carriers which sucks for people like me who always order 4+ drinks. read more

Very cute and quaint! Perfect place for a meeting. I had an iced matcha with the ube cloud foam and it was delish. I highly recommend!

I was really excited to try this coffee shop after reading so many glowing reviews. I ordered an iced ube latte with oat milk and an iced ube matcha latte. The drinks were gorgeous--such a dreamy purple hue that promised something delicious. But after sipping, sniffing, whiffing, and even gargling for good measure... I couldn't taste the ube at all. I'm usually pretty good at picking out flavors, but this one just didn't deliver - the ube was completely lost. Super disappointing. :( The coffee itself was nice and strong, but the matcha tasted a bit watered down. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and welcoming. I'm still curious to try their pandan latte, so I'll give it another shot another time. read more

was craving matcha but was disappointed by the price and quality of the matcha. I got the ceremonial matcha and my friend got the ube iced foam matcha. the ube was very thick and sweet and overpowered the matcha taste. also the quality of the matcha was disappointing considering the price. my friend and I could hardly taste the matcha. the ceremonial matcha shown in the picture looked completely different from the matcha received. it was not a dark green color and was more of a milky green. also when ordering at the kiosk there was a decaf select option for the ube foam latte matcha, which we selected since that was the only free option but it turns out that it couldn't be made decaf so we were a bit confused. I think it would be helpful if the drink options for the kiosk was more up to date. overall I would prob not visit here again:(( maybe it was just a bad day but the matcha just wasn't hitting. I've had better quality matchas for a lower price. read more

I really enjoyed the matcha. I ordered a hot matcha. I was surprised it wasn't sweet at all? Maybe the iced one is sweet but the hot isn't? Either way I love the strong flavor. Still super good! Kinda small inside but has some outdoor seating. Saw people working on laptops but I feel like this is a nicer place to just sit and enjoy coffee rather than work. read more

Dash Coffee Bar - Hot matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I opted for the most basic drink on the menu (a cold brew) but found it to be watery. Not my favorite. The Matcha looked good, though. There is plenty of outdoor seating (though it's right next to a parking lot and can get loud) and indoor seating is ample with plugs for charging electronics if you plan to study! IMO, not the best study spot because it was incredibly loud. read more

Dash Coffee Bar is a cute small coffee shop tucked away on a corner of Union street in Pasadena. They offer specialty drinks including matcha and ube lattes, plus pastries. They can easily be missed because they're located behind a Thai restaurant (Chim!) and overshadowed by a huge luxury condominium. Anyway, this coffee bar is the place to kick off your morning or end your day. Its interior aesthetic decor was an eye catcher for first time customers like myself. Moreover, it's somewhat spacious despite its tiny layout with two high ceiling revolving fans. They have limited indoor and outdoor seats. I perused their menu and it has the most common coffee drinks (hot/cold) that people look for. I ordered a hot Latte and Cheeze Croissant. The latte was tastes simple. Croissant was warm, flaky on top, crunch but soft on the inside. I dig it. Service was on point. Prices were fair. Free wifi and parking. Collectively, this is a modest coffee bar to chill with friends and work remotely. Overall, I had a modest experience. read more

Dash Coffee Bar - Matcha Einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and got the Matcha Einspanner. This was probably the WORST matcha drink I've ever had in my entire life. This was the first time I have encountered a Matcha Einspanner that had NO MILK. It tasted like straight cream and matcha water... It was not sweet at all and just tasted diluted. There was no latte consistency, and the texture was not thick at all (even after mixing the cream). I should have known that this drink was going to be a disaster the minute I saw how dark it was. For $7.50, I feel robbed. I'm usually very adamant about not wasting expensive drinks even if I don't like it. However, I had to make an exception for this drink and threw it away before I could even finish half of it. I simply could not stomach this nonsense. Parking was extremely awful as well. Their parking lot only has 6 spots total, and it is shared a barber shop and Thai restaurant next door. It's been a day already, and I am still in shock by how bad my drink tasted. read more

Busy spot with popular matcha and ube drinks. A few tables indoors and outdoors, WiFi is good! Lots of street parking. + Iced Camo ($7): cold brew w matcha foam. Wish the cold brew wasn't as sweet, and more on the smooth, bitter side to complement the sweet foam. Still a good drink, really tasted the matcha in the foam (8.3/10) + Egg Souffle Sausage sandwich ($15.95; no mayo): super THICK and fluffy, tamago-like sweetness egg, with a savory sausage, and buttered brioche bun. No mayo needed, perfect sweet and savory. Nice citrusy salad to cut everything (8.6/10) read more

This coffee shop is poppin'! I came on a weekday morning and all the tables inside were already taken. There's about 4-5 small tables inside and a couple tables outside. They have an ordering screen by the front door. Or you can order at the register. I wanted to check this place out for their unique drinks. The Pandan Latte with oat milk is delicious and creamy. I really enjoyed it but I can barely taste the pandan. The Jalapeño and Cream Cheese Croissant was my favorite! It's filled with whipped cream cheese and slices of jalapeño.

I saw that it had really good reviews on yelp so invited my friend to get coffee and we were both disappointed in our drinks.

I'm adding.another star for the color of the matcha bc it was definitely a nice green but probably won't come back. read more

Dash Coffee Bar is an awesome Thai-owned neighborhood coffee shop serving up some unique drinks. This spot is located in a smaller plaza with maybe 6-8 parking spots available. There is street parking all around the area so that might be your best bet. Inside, they have a nice modern interior with about 4-5 tables for seating to go with their patio outside with 7-8 more tables. For their menu, they have a great selection of different coffee, matcha, and tea drinks. Wifey and I came through for our weekend matcha run and opted to try the Matcha Yuzu Frizz and the Matcha Latte with Ube Foam. Both drinks were refreshing with unique flavor profiles. Overall, we enjoyed the community-based ambiance of the shop and the laid back vibes. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend adding this spot to your next coffee/matcha run if you are in the area! read more

Small coffee shop in Pasadena with Asian inspired flavors, pastries, and snacks. We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy! They have indoor and outdoor seating, and WiFi is available. We got our Pandan Latte and Ube Latte iced. Pandan had pretty good flavor, but the Ube was too mild. Both drinks tasted watered down, so if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor maybe you would be better off elsewhere (or not getting it iced like we did). read more

For the ambience, I'd have to say it is quite nice. It's quite a busy little shop and I'm glad for the vibe. As for the coffee, I'm not sure I'd pay the same price as other local shops-- with alternate milk setting you back $1, it'll make a flat white close to $7-8. read more

Dash Coffee Bar - Iced Matcha Strawberry latte & Matcha Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

While in the Pasadena area and craving matcha, I decided to order three Matcha Lattes with whole milk, less sugar, and less ice. The total came out to around $27.00, meaning each cup was $8.00--a steep price for a matcha drink. We also ordered a mango cookie that tasted too mushy for $3.00. I chose whole milk and vanilla syrup, expecting the flavors to complement the matcha perfectly. However, I was disappointed to find that the matcha flavor was entirely overpowered. All I could taste was the milk residue and the overwhelming sweetness of the vanilla syrup. At $8.00 per cup, I find it hard to justify the cost for a drink that lacked any distinct matcha flavor. While I can understand paying a premium for high-quality Japanese matcha or fresh, natural ingredients, this tasted artificial and generic, as though it came from a branded mix rather than authentic matcha. The matcha tasted like seaweed. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return here for matcha. read more
