I came on a Saturday morning and thankfully there was parking near the coffee shop. I was able to park my car and walk for 2-3 minutes to the shop. There were not that many people and there were still some spots available to sit down. I was really indecisive about what latte to get and the barista gave me a good suggestion. I also ordered a croissant as well. I didn't have to wait too long for my latte and croissant. The latte tasted really good and not too sweet which I liked. I would definitely come back to try the latte again.

Vienna Latte

This was my third time visiting Jameson Brown, and I finally decided to switch things up andtry the Vienna Latte. If you're into super bold, punchy espresso, this might feel a little light for you. The coffee flavor is definitely on the milder side. However, the texture totally made up for it. It was surprisingly creamy and had a really nice, smooth finish that didn't leave any bitter aftertaste. As always, Jameson is a great place for coffee as it is always busy. It has a cosy and spacious atmosphere but seating can be hard to find on weekend mornings.

Still the best coffee roaster in town. Lots of seating, limited but delicious pastries, knowledgable staff. Get the El Salvador if it's in!

Cardamom Rose latte

Despite the tricky mayhem parking options, there's a lot of rugged appeal here from the open space and atmosphere filled with texture and character. I wanted that seasonal horchatta but had to stick with the February drinks. We did chai, raspberry mocha, and cardamum. First two excellent and matched expectations set by my friends parents but my cardamum was dull and lifeless. At least their pastry sandwich things are fantastic!

Stopped here on my way to Bakersfield for a quick coffee and breakfast. It's super close to the freeway so i didn't have to divert like crazy. The parking is honestly dogshiz, but it's a lot street lol idk if there is any on the side, maybe go on google earth and research. The inside is super cool, it's def a roaster lol They have all the machines and huge containers filled with all sort of coffee beans. The location is spacious and it seems like a lot of people like to come here for coffee and work-time. Every college students dream lol The workers all look edgy af so you know their coffee is good! The serious is great and fast and they're very kind if you have any questions or want alternatives. Their bagels are so good too! I got their lavender coffee (decaf i can't handle caffeine well unfortunately ) and got my husband the honey one and they were both great. Honestly super excited to come back and just come in and chat with friends. Def worth the drive !

How did I NOT know this what here in PASADENA this whole time? Also, had to find out the hard way but they are closed on SUNDAYS lol. First off, lots of street parking. You'll find a spot. Came on a Saturday with my best friend right before we hit the road to head off to the beach. I was also able to get my trusty Pasadena Passport stamped as well. I initially wanted to order the Horchata Latte but they were out so I ordered the Iced Amaro Latte & the Spinach Mushroom and Feta. The drink was a nice earthy taste on a hot summer day. The Spinach Cheese was very delicious, but I will say that it was a lot of spinach. They get busy and a long line starts to form, and I can see why. But their service here is top notch and the line goes down fairly quickly.

Never knew this place existed. I had the seasonal orange blossom latte and it wasn't too sweet. The Vienna latte was also very good- honey and cinnamon. They are the brewery of coffee of that makes any sense. They look legit and it shows on the coffee. They have an extensive menu of drinks and baked goods, with plenty of seating inside I'm very interested to try more!

Very cute vibe here kinda like a brewery but for coffee which was different from anything I've seen before. However I found the coffee to be underwhelming which is such a bummer because I wanted this to be a new spot. If I'm in the area again I'd stop by and try it again just for the vibe but I wouldn't go out of my way. Parking -0/10 couldn't tell if the small area near their building was parking for them or another business, the area this place is located in is industrial and then two rows of houses and car dealerships, parking was rough! I had to circle three times to find a spot. Orange coffee latte - 7/10 it was good but watered down. It did have a hint of orange. Cafe de olla - 4/10 I was really excited for this but it didn't taste like cafe de olla to me, the cinnamon was lacking and again it tasted watered down. It also has a strange bitter taste at the end.

Absolutely loved my visit to Jameson Brown Coffee! The Cardamom Rose Latte was next-level--perfectly balanced, aromatic, and unlike anything I've had before. Every sip felt like a treat. Can't wait to come back!

I'm always excited to try a new coffee shop :) When it's a roaster that makes it that much better because you know they are going to have great coffee from fresh beans! Jameson just reinforced my belief :) We both decided to have one of their specialty drinks, the Vienna Latte. It was soooooo good, delicious coffee flavored with Honey & Cinnamon :) Plus it was served at the perfect drinking temperature, something I really appreciate. The shop is in a freestanding brick building just a block from the 210 Fwy and only has street parking on residential streets. The interior is large with lots of seating options, a fireplace & of course a roaster. It has a relaxed, inviting vibe for you to enjoy. There are also some tables outside along the shady side of the building. In addition to a nice selection of coffee drinks they also have tea, pastries and, a wide selection of roasted coffee beans. We're looking forward to coming back and picking up some beans.

Meh... after second day of trying to find a parking spot even remotely close to.. plan on a a walk... Didn't get the friendly vibe.. couldn't heat up my vegan muffin.. lavender vanilla latte was warm at best.. Service not very welcoming... I think this roasting factory is selling coffee/pastries as a secondary venture..

Ally U.

Maybe I tried the wrong drink here since there is so many good reviews and they roast their own beans so I might have to stop by again. I wasn't greeted when I entered and the employees were just talking amongst themselves so after looking at the menu I felt like none of the options were too appealing to me. I got an iced oat milk white chocolate mocha latte and it was made quickly. It was way too sweet and you could barely taste the espresso or any coffee notes so it was disappointing. Maybe I got the wrong thing and I barely touched my drink before tossing it. There were lots of people inside but limited parking outside.

Coconut breve
Nakia D.

This place is nice and big, perfect for a meeting/catching up. They have coffee beans and loose leaf tea for purchase! I'm not much of a coffee drinker but i tried a coconut iced coffee (coconut breve) and it was so yummy. My friend got another coconut drink (snowball) she said she liked it.

Hot Mayan Mocha, iced Vienna latte, and iced Chai latte

See all

$18 for 2 nasty boba milk teas that we ended up trashing. The "tea" tasted like watered down milk…read more The boba was only okay. We tried to force them down, but we just didn't think it was worth it. It was honestly the worst milk tea I've ever had. The owner and only person at the counter was extremely off putting. He asked us right when we walked in if we speak Chinese. When my friend said she did, he would not stop talking to her in Cantonese. She informed him that I did not speak Chinese, to which, he started interrogating me about where my parents are from in English. He then only spoke to my friend in Cantonese for the excruciating amount of time we spent there. He insisted that the boba milk tea was the best drink there and kept talking to my friend even when she asked for some time to look at the menu. It felt like he was rushing us to pick something, so we tried to enter it in quickly. He made us feel super uncomfortable. We could not wait to get out of there. The monitor used to place orders on was really confusing. It did not help that we were trying to rush. The man explained it to my friend in Cantonese, so she ordered hers correctly. I couldn't understand him though, so I guess I did it wrong. It had all the milk teas in one listing. I didn't realize that I had to select the type of milk tea when I clicked on this option. We didn't realize that the computer did not charge us correctly. We did not have a receipt, but my friend's phone showed that she got charged $11 ($7 for her own drink + $1 boba for her + $1 boba for me + $2 for tax and tip). Since 2 drinks ordinarily come out to about that much, we thought the second drink was included in the pricing and it just didn't print correctly on the order receipt that goes to the bar. When the owner came up to us to tell us that the receipt only showed boba for the second drink, we were confused but went back to the computer to look. He said that we were supposed to select which milk tea specifically. After my friend clarified that it was just the regular milk tea, we checked her phone and saw the $11 charge. We left thinking that was the total for 2 drinks. This man found us across the street and to tell us that we still needed to pay $7 more. I handed that to him in cash and he left. For clarification, I am not upset about having to pay the $7 that he was due for our order. I am simply stating that the ordering system could be improved to avoid mishaps like this from happening again. I also want to note that I think $7 for the drink + $1 for the boba is not worth purchasing here for the sole fact that it is not tasty. There's also just a little bit of street parking outside. The inside was a little dark with a lot of mismatched furniture and random products available for sale. Update: In response to this review, the owner has sent me unprofessional messages. I won't be coming here again and highly suggest that you don't either.

I know this is dramatic to say but I truly mean it, this was the BEST iced coffee I've ever had in my life! Very bright and somewhat small cafe in downtown Pasadena. Staff were warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in.

I got mine with oat milk and regular sweetness. It was just perfect? Perfect sweetness. Perfect harmony of jasmine taste and espresso without overpowering the other. There was even fresh jasmine petals in there which really amplified the fresh jasmine taste. I am going to crave this all the time! Time to lament living 5.5 hours from this place :')

Hopefully it is just that day. The restaurant's light is too white, I think if they change it to a more yellow light, it will be better. Feel like we are in an office not a restaurant, but maybe it is good lighting for students who are studying there. They have mostly small tables only. Not good for big party (4+). Will still come back and hope they will bring back the waffles.

There's free 90 minute parking behind the structure. However, the room capacity of 4 people does make for a longer line than most other coffee shops. The interior is very classy, tastefully decorated and the baristas are very friendly! All their specialty espresso drinks are double shots. Their top sellers are their Toasty (a milk tea latte), Vienna Latte, and Matcha Latte. Almond and oat milk substitutions are free of charge! I opted for their matcha (iced & sweetened, with oat milk) this time for the lower caffeine amount, and for the price point ($7.25) I think this was an average drink. The drink is a little gritty and not too sweet (which I prefer), but for better quality matcha at the same price point, I would go elsewhere. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks!

It was my first time here and the barista was very friendly in explaining their menu and pastry selection.

I chose the Coconut Oatmeal Chai Cookie Sandwich for the novelty but I found that it was rather sweet for my taste. So for anyone interested in their cookie sandwiches, I definitely recommend getting a drink that's not sweet to balance out the flavors!

Blueberry Lavender Latte - 4/5 The flavor was great, I could clearly taste both the blueberry and lavender without the drink being overly sweet, and the actual espresso shot was pulled nicely. The presentation was also really cute; the blueberry garnish, the pretty cup, and the latte art were all nice touches. My only complaint was the temperature. I ordered this drink hot, but it was lukewarm at best. Maybe the milk wasn't steamed enough? I stopped by early when there wasn't a crowd, so I feel like there isn't really a reason for the drink to be cold? Pasadena toast - 1/5 For $7, this felt like a very basic avocado toast I could easily make at home. Compared to the latte, the toast's flavor and presentation was super underwhelming. The jalapeños looked like they were just tossed on as an afterthought, and the bread wasn't toasted well. The image from the website menu shows a nicely seasoned toast with some pepper(?), pretty garnishes, and a fluffy spread of avocado, but mine didn't seem to have any visible seasoning, and the layer of avocado was fairly thin. Again, I'd understand if it was busy and the staff was in a rush to get orders out, but there wasn't a crowd at all (literally 2 people in line) and this toast was $7.. The space does have a cute area with artisan goods and merch, and there's free parking in the back lot and nearby streets. There's no wifi, but I get it since it prevents people from camping tables. I'll probably come back and give this place another try since the other reviews are positive, maybe this was just a one-off poor experience for me.
