First sip I did taste the strong espresso; however after mixing it was pretty smooth and tasty. Throughout the afternoon I felt the caffeine level decreasing.

You can adjust the sweetness of the coffee. The customer service was also excellent; everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They made the whole experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back for another iced latte! The seating area is really comfortable, both indoors and outdoors. The calming music adds to the relaxing atmosphere, and the whole place has such a beautiful, welcoming vibe. Overall, it's a great-looking spot that's perfect for relaxing and enjoying a drink.

The menu has…read moreadjusted slowly over time, but they maintain a solid coffee and tea selection, with some food options and (at the Pasadena location) about 16 flavors of gelato. On this weekday I came for the Jasmine Milk Tea. Last time this was under the Tea Latte section, but they menu changed and there is now a dedicated Milk Tea section. And also there is a Jasmine Latte with Espresso in it, but that is under the Espresso section. I was able to get it chilled but without ice. The lowest sweetness level was 50%, but I asked nicely and they estimated they could make a 25% for me. It turned out wonderfully, extremely floral, barely any sweetness so the Jasmine aroma and taste were the dominant ones. In the food side I selected the popcorn chicken. I can take some heat but only a small bit, so I asked for the spice powder in the side. I just looove the texture of the popcorn chicken. You can see in the picture that it's a very thin breading, almost not there, but the texture seems almost as if an invisible rice flour was tossed in the outside. Still juicy in the inside, and small pieces to make every bite pop-able. The chicken comes with a ranch sauce, though to me it's a second thought. Add a hint of spice or even have the chicken as is, no ranch is needed.

Slimy matcha (I'm guessing the dairy may have been old), and I got sick about an hour after coming…read morehere. The Paws were also pretty underwhelming and tasted very artificial. The matcha foam was literally pulling with the straw like slime :/ I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing. When I asked the girl at the front if the matcha was supposed to look like that, she said yes because they apparently put something in it to make it thick. She did offer to remake it, but I said no because if the texture was intentional, wouldn't a replacement have been just as slimy? I was later offered a free drink if I emailed them 24 hours in advance. I'll give an extra star for the offer, but no thanks. After getting sick and having such a bad experience, I don't understand why I'd willingly come back for another drink.

Came on a Saturday morning after taking my mom to a doctors appt with her and my 1 year old…read moredaughter. We were looking for a casual spot with good food and fun and delicious coffee drinks. This did not disappoint! I got the pandan latte. Definitely heavier on the vanilla flavor but the pandan still comes through. My mom got the crème brulee latte and it was probably one of the better ones I've had. It wasn't just sweet - you could get the essence of that burnt sugar topping. For food we had the spam kimchi cheese croissant and it was so good! The croissant was nice and flaky. There was the perfect ratio of filling. It is a very craveable sandwich. All of this in itself deserved a 5 star review already, but one more thing happened I need to mention. We were just about to leave and I wanted a straw in my drink. I want to put it in the lid and instead I spilled it all over the counter. A woman who I presumed to be the owner immediately came over to clean the mess and told the girl at the counter to remake me a new drink. Given I was taking care of my mom and my daughter today, that small kindness meant a lot to me. Overall, highly recommend Dash. Good coffee and good people.

I love their pandan latte and their creme brulee latte. The creme brulee is on the sweeter side, so when I'm in the mood for that it's perfect. The service is quick and there's not many seats inside.

I always come here to get a matcha latte, and they do it just right with not too much sugar. They also have variety of eatery and after regular breakie they also sell beer and have a bar! Although I've never came here for the other events I think they also host trivia nights that if I had more time in my life I would come and check out. I been coming here every week for their matcha if I have time and just some nice pastry to go with it. A lot of people come here to have their morning routine, they have indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice since people with dogs are able to bring their pets on not too hot days. They have parking in the back for just them, but they also have street parking if you want to grab and go! I've had their chicken sandwich, and its enough for 2 meals! Delicious and highly recommend!

I've been to Rosebud once before mainly because it's conveniently close to where I'm getting my car…read moreserviced, so being able to walk here is definitely a plus. I really like the concept of this place being a coffee shop during the day and a brewery later on. It gives the space a relaxed, chill atmosphere that I can appreciate. Unfortunately, the food and drinks just didn't do it for me this time. I ordered the $9 sub, which was premade and had that unmistakable straight-from-the-fridge hard bread situation. Plus, it could use some mayo, or at least some kind of sauce. For $9, I expected better and definitely wouldn't spend the money on it again. The hojicha latte was another miss. I've had hojicha plenty of times and usually love its smooth, roasty flavor, but this one wasn't sweet or creamy enough for my taste and came across a little too straight-up. The raspberry cream on top didn't add much flavor either. I also grabbed a day-old pastry. It was pretty hard and had a slightly stale crème-brûlée-like top, although I'll give it credit -- once warmed up, it was actually pretty delicious. Overall, 3 stars. I like the concept and the convenience, but unfortunately nothing I had was quite good enough to make me want to come back anytime soon.

I see a lot of turnover at this arcade so hopefully this shop is here to stay! I went around 10 on…read morea Saturday and yes there was a line but I thought it moved pretty quickly. The shop is teeny tiny so they request only 4 people in the store at a time. They oosted the menus on the windows so there's plenty of time to be indecisive. They have a good selection of drinks and some very unique taste profiles so there's something for everyone. My husband always sticks with classic pour overs and I got the Sicily. I didn't have to wait too long for the pourover but they didn't have much options today. He said it's fine. The Sicily was very bright and a little tart but I wanted something refreshing on a heat wave day. I would love to return to try the matcha drinks as well. They also had a seasonal sweet potato drink but I didn't order it since I don't like drinks that are way too sweet.

How do they fit so much charm into such a small space?…read more Mandarin Coffee, tucked into the Burlington Arcade in Pasadena, is a gem for lovers of high-quality Chinese specialty coffee and teas. Sure, you'll find the usual espresso drinks, but you'll also spot a few matcha options, creative fizzes, and refreshing tonics. As for pastries? The selection is stunning and freshly made. Peek into the glass case and you'll have a hard time choosing. Pro tip: don't pass up the devil's food cake donut. It's soft, airy, rich with high-quality chocolate... seriously yum. The staff are super friendly and it was fun catching them singing along to the shop playlist while carefully crafting drinks for each customer. The shop is cozy, so expect a line out front. It does move quickly though and is absolutely worth the short wait. There's no seating inside, but a few tables are set up along the arcade walkway for enjoying your treats outside. Parking is pretty easy with a large shared lot behind the arcade (plus some street parking if you're lucky). On my visit, I kept it simple with a vanilla latte, which totally hit the spot. I'll definitely be back to try the Gui Hua Latte and, of course, another devil's food cake donut!

As Pasadena goes, parking can be a little tough but its worth circling for street parking. I got there super late on a Sunday but was lucky enough to nab the last kouign amann from the case. Since I'd never been there before, I also picked up a chocolate bar with hazelnuts. I went for my usual iced vanilla latte but added their cold foam. The girl taking my order was very nice and even apologetic about their limited pastry options. I knew I'd made a mistake by getting there so late on a weekend. But I'm just so glad I got what I ordered. The coffee was delightful! It was perfectly creamy! The cold foam was a great addition to the drink. The kouign aman was out of this world! Perfectly crusty and caramelized. It's one of the best ones I've ever had. I cant wait to go back and try other items. Lesson learned...I'll be there early!

We had lunch plans nearby, so grabbed one to go to take home and share with my dad. Ordered a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant). While it wasn't as fresh 8 hours later (nor did I expect it to be!!!!) it was large, the finish was beautiful and the chocolate high quality. I think if I had eaten it right away, it would have been even better. However $7 is on the high end for a single pastry. Would I come back here for the croissant and/or to try other offerings if I was in the area? yes.

The cafe menu includes unique lattes, espresso bar, coffee, cold brew, tea, toast , sandwiches, salads bar, parfait, and kids menu. They also have fresh pastries. I ordered the following: - Picnic pastrami sandwich x2 4 /5 It had Pastrami, jack cheese, pickles, onions, lettuce on sourdough baguette. - Caprese sandwich x2 5/5 Mozzarella, tomato, basil , olive oil, balsamic glaze on Ciabatta. - Chocolate croissant 5/5 Was flaky, buttery and filled with chocolate. - Matcha ginger cranberry scone 5/5 Was very delicious - Mango coconut matcha 4/5 It was a refreshing drink. I love mango, so I wish I could taste more mango flavor in the drink - Iced teddy graham latte 5/5 It was a traditional latte sweetened with honey syrup, Heilala vanilla bean paste & cinnamon milk as it was described. It was very refreshing and delightful one! The flavors balanced perfectly and the sweetness was on point. The staff were nice. The place has welcoming vibes. We received our order very quickly. It's a nice place to stop by and enjoy a refreshing drink or grab a fresh pastry or a sandwich.

The minute I walked in, the aroma of the coffee and baked goods just organically welcomed me IN! Walked in this morning at 10:15AM, and was greeted by Stephanie. All the people behind the counter were genuinely super nice and friendly, and I am going to leave it at that. Some places can be pretentious and I don't like that. I didn't get that vibe here. Loved it. They have many different options of baked goods, hot and cold beverages, salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and more.They also serve wine. Very unique and interesting. Some coffee shops do serve wine. Love wine, but not in the mornings/afternoons:-)). So, she took my order and got everything right. I ordered an Avocado Toast, 2 Blueberry Muffins, and for my drink, got an Ube Latte. Everything tasted above and beyond fresh and delicious. My Ube Latte was made to PERFECTION! Don't know much about their parking situation, but I found street parking right in the front. They also do delivery, and 3rd party orders. My first time, but definitely not the last. Was so pleased with their hospitality. If I didn't happen to be in the area, I probably would have missed this beautiful gem. Glad I saw it and walked in. They have some nice decor inside but I decided to sit on their lovely patio. Thank you everyone, and keep up the good work!
