Been having a moody workload lately. Came in midday on Thursday 3/12. S/o to the cool guy who welcomed me as I came in and corrected my drinks after the mistake I did when ordering. The entire time he served me with a smile, appreciate the kindness . read more

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

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

After figuring out the parking situation, I was so happy to have found this hidden gem in Pasadena! Very authentic tasting matcha, definitely not too sweet. Excited to try their ube and pandan matcha next time. read more

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

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

Nice little coffee spot I visted on a whim while in the area. Looks like a cool spot to hang out, with large tables outside. Pretty small parking lot so I think finding parking could be difficult. Servers seemed pretty nice so no complaints there. I ordered a coffee milk with jelly and a match a latte, both drinks were decent. Overall pleased with my visit. 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 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

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

I ordered the Matcha Einspanner and it was perfect. They use ceremonial matcha, and it has a really rich nutty flavor. The cream top is super thick and sweet, and pairs well with the matcha. They have a parking lot, but it was completely full when we dropped by on a Saturday afternoon. 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. Perfect for quick brekkie! 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

I got the ube matcha latte and it was delicious! I wish there was a bit more of an ube flavor, but I thought that the drink was well balanced. This place is super packed, so I would grab the drink to go if you could./ Be warned, the parking here is non-existent so be sure to park around the corner in the neighborhood and walk on over here! 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

I've always had this place bookmarked and finally stopped by for some matcha before a roadtrip. I tried both the Iced Matcha Strawberry latte & the Matcha Americano and both were delicious. You can tell just from the americano alone that they use high quality matcha. The matcha is strong, balanced, and not bitter or sweet. I'll definitely return when I'm back in the area! read more

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

+Parking: Parking has very limited spots, but it is as expected in Pasadena. +Location/Ambiance: Located in a semi-industrial, apartment complex, and next to a Thai restaurant. A bit more upscaled hipster vibes with some nice music. Tables seemed pretty clean and there were a few smaller tables with 1-2 chairs located outside. Baristas were very friendly! Went on a Friday morning and most items were gone already or needed to be restocked. +Drinks: 1. Pandan Coffee- I would stick to the coffee here. The pandan coffee had a nice flavor profile compared to a few other shops in 626 that I have tried (only 3 so far and this makes 4). 2. Matcha oatmilk latte - Super disappointing. I could only taste the oatmilk and 0 matcha flavor. I did end up going somewhere else and saving this to add my own matcha. Luckily, I checked an hour later and the matcha did settle, so it's there, but had no flavor. There were a few Asian themed drinks as stated, Pandan coffee, Ube coffee, etc. +Food: Unfortunately, very disappointed. I expected more Asian pastries, but there were not very many except for 2 cookies. There were a few options: a crossaint, banana bread, etc. They had a few other drinks in the mini grab-and-go fridge. There were also a few items of Asian snacks. Other than that, Dash was pretty insignificant for me, except for the fact that they did the Pandan Coffee pretty well! read more

Really great spot for a coffee, and am a big fan of their citrus spritz. They have their own parking lot which is quite convenient, and the staff here are very nice. The shop itself is on the smaller/cozy side, so not too many tables for seating- but usually enough for everyone to find a seat that wants one! read more

My friend and I love matcha and we decided to give this place a go after we had brunch together at a place nearby. The parking lot is very limited so we parked on a nearby street. When we walked over to the coffee bar, there was a bit of a line... Which was a good sign! I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was unmatched. I loved it! My friend ordered a regular matcha and she also enjoyed it very much. There is outside seating available so we sat outside for about an hour and enjoyed the day. The ambiance is very cute both indoors and out. I'd say it would make for a great little study spot but since the place is so popular, the foot traffic could be a bit distracting. Overall, I would come here again! read more

Came here on a recommendation. Now with the food, I highly recommend trying the sandwiches. They were both very delicious and you can tell from the egg ham and cheese. It is a big piece of egg. The crème brûlée latte 10 out of 10 would recommend. The strawberry Matcha to me it was just OK, but I have to be honest. I'm not a true Matcha person. It was good if you're looking for a sweet treat .The inside is very cute. It's pretty much a full house on a Sunday at 12pm. Just FYI very limited seating and space. The service was friendly and fast. I'd highly recommend this place. read more

Overall, this place was good especially the iced crème brûlée latte which had the tastiest cold foam on top. It was so delicious a perfect 10 the strawberry Matcha was pretty basic nothing too exciting but if you really love Matcha, you will be content with it. The breakfast sandwiches were both pretty good but the round was was better overall. One of the only downside is how tiny the place is so there really isn't much seating if you were planning on hanging out. read more

Great quality matcha!!! I ordered the Ube top matcha latte and the Ube was so creamy and flavorful. The matcha was good quality and tasted amazing. My boyfriend got a regular matcha latte and it was just as good, no sweetener needed since it's ceremonial grade matcha. Our drinks were made quickly and there seemed to be a decent amount of seating to chill to enjoy a drink or food. The pastries looked so good and large portioned, but I didn't get the chance to try them. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

Been here a few times and tried a couple drinks and here's the tldr: strawberry matcha - best one I've tried from anywhere, crème brûlée latte - amazing, highly recommend, einspanner - skip this one (it's just watered down coffee with a thin cream top, very not einspanner-y). Overall would recommend and if you're into sweets, highly suggest trying the ube brownie here (supplied by Cookie Chaos)! read more

Nothing beats a solid latte made to my liking especially when I am paying a bit extra. We were lucky to get a parking spot in their small lot. The hubby got an ice sweet cream cold brew who said it was good but definitely something too sweet for me. The place was cozy with ample space to sit inside or outside. The workers were friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return to try the other drinks on their menu. I also appreciated that they have their own restroom. read more

Stumbled on this place that I have been seeing on IG and decided to give this a try. I ordered the Ube Latte since it was one of their popular drinks. The drink wasn't bad but maybe because I'm not a huge ube fan so it wasn't my favorite. I also ordered the Jalapeño cheese croissant and it was bomb. Warm, buttery and creamy with a hint of spiciness from the jalapeno. I'll be back to try their other drinks . Parking is very limited but there's street parking around the area. There's table and chairs inside and outside of the shop so plenty of room to study or hang out. read more

Had to come back and try new things! I highly recommend the pandan refresher. I've always had pandan with something milky or creamy so I was kind of hesitant on trying this, but I am so glad I did. Check in on yelp and get it for free after spending $10 or more! In addition, I had the delicious kimchi spam croissant sandwich again, coffee jelly, and iced einspanner. My friend got the matcha and it was very strong in matcha flavor. I recommend adding sweetener if you do not want a bitter drink! The Einspanner was also very strong in coffee taste even after I added honey to sweeten it. I have not found anything I did not enjoy at this cafe, and I plan on coming back! read more

Came here on a whim and wasn't disappointed. It's a small coffee shop located in Pasadena with a variety of Asian inspired coffee drinks. I ordered the Iced Matcha Ube Latte which was great. The Ube definitely over-powers the matcha, but still a very delicious drink. Staff was friendly and greeted me the moment I walked in. The wait time for the coffee was very short, the parking lot was very small (but there's street parking around the block that's available), and since the store is very small indoor seating was very limited. However, there's additional seating outside and they offer free wifi! A great spot to get some work done and just chill with a cup of coffee. read more
