In an area that's already packed with incredible coffee shops, it's hard to find a place that truly…read morestands out--but this one absolutely does. Their barrel-aged cold brew is what first caught my attention, and it's unlike anything I've had elsewhere. It has a smooth, complex flavor with subtle notes from the barrel aging that make it feel more like a craft beverage than just another cold brew. It's definitely worth ordering if it's your first visit. Beyond that, they also have an excellent lineup of creative specialty drinks that are thoughtfully crafted without being overly sweet or gimmicky. You can tell they put a lot of care into both the coffee and the overall experience. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions or offer recommendations, which makes trying something new even more enjoyable. When you're surrounded by so many great coffee options, it's not easy to separate yourself from the competition. This shop has managed to do exactly that with creativity, quality, and a menu that keeps me wanting to come back to try something different each visit.

I didn't run into any problems. The staff communicated clearly, and the overall process was smooth.read more

If your looking for the best family owned and operated Coffee in Pasadena, you've found it…read more Our family switched over to Sailors Brew Coffee about a year ago. They really have amazing blends. Best part for myself is the blends consistency, flavor is always spot on. This place is located by the little machine shop in Pasadena on Washington and Lincoln with a nice big parking lot. Crows Nest Blend is really amazing!

The staff is super kind and knowledgeable about their coffee. Really appreciate having nice people serve my coffee in the morning. Now if they would just open up the rest of this complex and bring in some cool retail and restaurants, this would be the coolest location in Highland Park.

Small little grab and go coffee shop. My partner and I stopped by because we were at C&H a couple…read moreof stores away. Drinks: Pretty good! I got a matcha latte as my partner got a latte. On their menu, they actually listed the origin of where their matcha is from and as a matcha lover, I really appreciated that! Their matcha lattes come unsweetened so I opted in for their house-made vanilla syrup as I was intrigued by it. When I received my drink, I noticed the vanilla bean speckles which is an amazing sign! I do think the drink lacked matcha flavor, but it had great color to it! I believe the milk ratio was just a bit much. It definitely has potential though! I also tried my partner's drink and I am not a coffee drinker but I thought it was pretty good! Service: The staff up front was very patient while my partner and I were observing the menu and the pastries that were displayed. They were very informative of all of the displayed pastries! Ambiance: Loved the exterior and the designs on the wall. To the side of the order/pick-up window, there's a huge bench and a bit of tables to sit if you wanted to grab your drinks and chat. There's a cute little area under the tree! Overall, loved the aesthetic of this coffee shop and I would def come back to try out other drinks :)

The space is bright, welcoming, and filled with adorable unicorns everywhere you look. The staff are super warm and friendly, and you can feel how much love and care went into creating this place. I do not even live in Pasadena, and I now make it a point to stop by whenever I am anywhere in the vicinity. That is how good it is. They just opened this summer, and they deserve all the support. You cannot help but smile when you are here.

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....

I am always on the lookout for espresso drinks with spiced heat, so when I read the review of their other location (closed for renovation or repairs I think), I knew I had to go. We tried going to the other location and I know it's absurd, but I was so bummed when I thought I was out of luck because it was closed. Then realized they had a coffee patio very nearby, and luckily got there before closing. The owners are warm and passionate people, and the drink lived up to my expectations. I think exceeded them actually because I was kind of on a stupid cloud 9 level of euphoria grocery shopping after. I will be back, again and again. Will be hard to try anything else because the spiced mocha is so good, but I'm sure their black coffee and espresso shots are heaven. Can't wait.

Loved this place! This is a Guatemalan owned coffee shop and roaster. The space is a cute (tiny but…read moremighty) patio with a friendly owner. I like that they don't focus on sweetness when it comes to lattes. The espresso speaks for itself. Would definitely be back if I'm in the area.

I make it a point to visit Endorffeine every week, and it's become one of the coffee shops I look…read moreforward to most. Every cortado I've had has been exceptionally well executed, with a silky texture, excellent balance, and clean presentation. What impresses me most is how clearly the coffee itself comes through. The sweetness, clarity, and character of the espresso remain present from the very first sip to the last, while the milk complements the coffee without ever overshadowing it. What continues to stand out is the remarkable consistency. Every cortado has been prepared with precision, from the espresso extraction and milk texture to the serving temperature and overall balance. The body stays cohesive throughout the entire drink, allowing the flavors to remain expressive from start to finish. It's the kind of consistency that's difficult to achieve and even harder to maintain, which is why every visit is just as enjoyable as the last. More than just serving exceptional coffee, Endorffeine has become my place of peace. Sitting at the bar with a cortado in hand and watching Jack work is where I feel most at ease. There's something calming about watching someone so dedicated to their craft. His passion and attention to detail are immediately apparent, and it's rare to see someone so committed to quality that they're willing to remake a drink as many times as necessary until it meets their own standards. That level of care, precision, and consistency is something any coffee enthusiast can appreciate, and it's a big part of what makes Endorffeine such a special place.

Nor is it somewhere to lounge on couches with your crew, sipping massive lattes during a sad open-mic night like some bohemian caricatures out of Friends. This is a sanctuary for coffee purists. The vibe is quiet, contemplative, and minimalist--but never cold. Founder Jack Benchakul is the sole barista, treating the bar less like a counter and more like a precise laboratory. Jack pulls every shot, froths every pitcher of milk, and crafts every single pour-over himself. Because he is the only one making the drinks, the quality is meticulous and utterly uncompromising. As a dedicated pour-over drinker, it's incredibly rare for me to find a shop that outperforms what I can brew at home, but Jack delivers the perfect cup every single time. In fact, his execution is so flawless that I took his pour-over class just to decode his secrets. If you're looking for the absolute pinnacle of coffee in SoCal, this is it.
