Great coffee, but they have a handful of staff members here that are such awful people to be in the same room with even for 10 minutes. I don't know their names and I don't even think I have to describe them, I'm pretty sure anyone who has ever been here will know exactly who I'm talking about. They always look like they just ate a lemon unless they are laughing at someone, and as I wait for my coffee I watch how they treat their coworkers and the other customers. Not being outright rude, but passive aggressively hostile. They are clearly disgusted with the existence of most people, so it's a weird job to take under those circumstances. Great coffee, though. read more

Ordered an iced americano with almond milk and it was perfect. With the addition of the cookie it was a perfect balance of coffee and a sweet treat. I love the eclectic vintage vibes inside and love the outdoor seating for people watching. read more

Cozy neighborhood coffee shop vibes. People of all ages were chilling with their coffee or other caffeine drinks with their books or laptops. I stopped by here because I had some time to kill before an appointment nearby. It was my first time in this area of south pas. It's across the street from the metro station, very convenient. I sat outside after getting my order because it was busy inside. No seats available around 2pm on a Monday. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk. The latte was creamy but the espresso didn't have a strong taste. The pain au chocolate was tasty and a nice afternoon treat. read more

The coffee is fantastic which is to be expected. I just came for the coffee early one morning. No waiting. Lots of baked goods though I didn't get any. Because it was so early there was lots of street parking. read more

I love Jones coffee roasters and had never been to this location. I always thought the Raymond Ave location was its own. Pleasant surprise coming here. Same great coffee sane exceptional service and bonus. I get to see my favorite baristas as they switch from each location. This one has a different vibe a bit more eclectic and dare I say "cool"? No live music but a nice upstairs area with plenty of seating and a different more laid back crowd. They still serve the best tasting coffee in the area hands down. read more

This is a very cute coffee shop in a very cool, old building. I don't go for the sugary milkshakey coffee drinks but the cold brew was smooth and delicious. It tasted like quality coffee to me. The counter folks were very friendly. Park on the street and good luck to you with that. read more

Jones Coffee Roasters - Outside entrance. Coffee awaits. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I love visiting this shop. The decorations are cheerful and vibrant, and I really enjoy the mix of tables and cozy nooks. However, the staff could improve their customer service--I felt like I was interrupting a conversation when I was trying to place my order. It would be great if there were more open outlets inside. It's a good spot for a coffee meet-up, but not ideal for students or freelancers who need to plug in their laptops while working. read more

I have been going to Jones for well over a decade. I like to support local businesses and their coffee has always been on point. The South Pasadena shop is in a charming vintage building with very cute chair related decor. Service is very good and the coffee is still wonderful. I usually order the latte and the foam is very light, almost like a cappuccino. They have indoor and outdoor tables and it's a good spot to do some people watching outside. read more

Definitely an all-time favorite in Pasadena! This spot is absolutely lovely, nice ambiance and the drink selection is more than you could ask for. I usually stick with a latte hot or iced or a cappuccino, but I recommend anything on the menu. Check it out if you have the chance! read more

Really great tasting coffee. Probably the best around. Nice place to hang out w/friend or by yourself working. I wish they offered a mocha freeze/blended because their coffee is so tasty. I used to get a blended at Charlie's, but it disappeared from the menu board. Now I go to Kaldi a block away when I need to scratch that itch, but the flavor of the coffee used in the blended doesn't match that of Charlie's. read more

Didn't realize there was no wifi but the place was cute just to hang out in! The coffee and pastries were decent.

Such a cute and quirky place! I personally love their iced chai- such a treat!! The baristas there are friendly, and it's located right on the main street. Parking is easy on the street. There's an upstairs with some tables as well as some seating outside. I saw they do live music during the weekday as well, but I haven't been to it yet. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

From their cortados, macchiatos to their hot and cold lattes you can never go wrong. The staff is super friendly while the shop is a comfy place to have a cup of coffee! Their pastries and breakfast burritos are delicious too! read more

Chill coffee spot in charming South Pasadena. Love the old-school vibe--red brick building surrounded by a variety of plants, tucked right beside the train station. Plenty of patio space for seating. The two-story interior is super cozy, with wooden floors, antique decor, and large pane windows. Many people come here to read, chat, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. The coffee was absolutely delicious--hot, decadent, and creamy. Perfect for a chilly winter day. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! I'll definitely be back read more

I wandered over here on a Saturday morning. They were across from the thrift/vintage and antique shops. Baristas were friendly. I was surprised to see they offer Fosselman's ice cream here! I got an iced latte with oat milk that was pretty good. No complaints there. There isn't much seating on the bottom floor, but there is plenty of seating upstairs. The bathroom is also upstairs and has an open window 0_o. They have lots of outdoor seating. It's a pretty peaceful place to read a book or journal or sketch here. Imagine old flimsy wooden chairs that need new paint jobs. Parking - I found free street parking in a residential area. read more

I'd never get tired of having a love affair with coffee. With that being said, let's begin this spectacular review. :D Jones Coffee Roasters (est 1993) is a family run coffee company in South Pasadena. This coffee shop is a two story building with brick exposed interior/exterior walls. Their atmosphere has a cool vibe, staff were competent and professional and drinks are reasonably priced. They have a compendious selection of coffee from blends to seasonal to decafs. Similarly, they have teas, mugs, and merch for sale. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. I have known this cafe for years but never really had the chance until now. I ordered a Cafe Au Lait (M) x whole milk. It was brewed great! Overall, I enjoyed my coffee and service. I'd definitely come back. I highly recommend them. read more

I went in here today before a hair appointment and I happened to come in at the same time as a health inspector. While the inspector was in the back, all the workers were together talking about how much trouble they were going to be in (right in front of me). It all made me very uncomfortable. Definitely shouldn't have come in. read more

Background On Shop: Believe it or not, but this coffee shop use to be Busters! Parking: There's street parking in the neighboring streets. I usually park in the public parking lot located on the SE corner of Mound Ave. and Hope St. and just have a nice 3 block stroll. Restroom: There is a restroom on the 2nd floor, but during our visit it was out of order. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Ambiance: Pretty cool ambiance, but can be busy. There's still a Buster's vibe to the shop. They also have a second floor that feels a bit like a library. Not ideal place to do work if you don't have a personal hotspot. So it can/maybe adequate for someone that wants to unwind, people watch, catch up with a friend, or even read. Service: Service is pretty good and drinks come out at a decent time. Coffee Of Choice: The drip coffee is very good. Please try to take it all in without all the creamer/milk/sugar. Appreciate the coffee. read more

Cozy little neighborhood coffee shop located across the street from the South Pasadena Metro. There are numerous shops, restaurants, and eateries on this street. Service is friendly. Love their coffee. They offer ice cream, as well as food and pastry items. While they have upstairs, indoor, and outdoor tables, seating is very limited. This location is very popular and never not packed with patrons. Tip: order your items to go and enjoy them walking the cute South Pas neighborhood and/or shop local stores. read more

Jones Coffee in South Pasadena is a warm, welcoming neighborhood spot with serious coffee cred and cozy jazz vibes. Family-owned with roots in a Guatemalan coffee farm, it's all about community, sustainability, and great beans. Rolled in at 9:30am -- buzzing but chill. Exposed brick, local art, a big community board, and soft indie rock set the tone. No WiFi, so it's perfect for unplugging. Grab an outdoor seat on Misson Street and people-watch. We had: * Iced decaf oat milk latte - smooth, perfectly chilled ($4.70) * Whole milk cappuccino - creamy and bold ($4.40) Friendly staff, fast service. Heads-up: restrooms are upstairs. Bonus: weekly live jazz, great merch, and their own beans to take home. A solid local gem. Come for the coffee, stay for the vibes. read more

Best americano I've ever had. The cutest place. Art & music friendly; perfect for a creative. I love that you can enjoy your coffee in the shop and listen in on some live music, and also walk around for vintage shops and a beautiful neighborhood that also has film involvement. read more

This particular Jones Coffee Roasters has slowly become one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. I was introduced to this nondescript little shop located right next to the train tracks on Mission St. in South Pasadena by friends from my local running group. As someone who has to watch their sugar intake but really enjoys sweet coffee drinks, I love that Jones offers sugar-free syrups (vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut) for their drinks. Their iced latte with lactaid milk and sugar-free caramel has become my go-to on both hot and cold days, and I really enjoy sitting outside in their cozy patio area, catching up with friends, and people watching. Jones also serves ice cream from Fosselman's, a nice variety of breakfast burritos and pastries, and other assorted treats and baked goods, but the variety and availability tends to vary on the day. Saturday mornings tend to be busy, but I've found that Sundays are a bit less crowded. The upstairs area has a few tables and chairs to sit and work. Jones doesn't offer their own WiFi connection, however, so if you're planning to come with a laptop or tablet, come prepared with a hotspot, or just plan on not going online while you're there. The restroom upstairs is small but clean, and requires a code, which the staff changes on a semi-regular basis. So overall: -The Good: Great coffee drinks and a very friendly and accommodating staff. I love that there are plenty of customization options. Friends seem to love the Cremosa, a drink that mixes fruit flavored syrups, cream, and soda water (I think). -The Bad: Street parking can be difficult to find during busy mornings, but there is a free underground parking structure with plenty of spaces nearby. -The Ugly: This place is not a quiet coffee shop. For one, it is next to a train that comes at regular intervals. It is also busy, so folks are coming in and out. Don't expect silence when you come here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Had coffee here on a Saturday morning. Small line out the door. Got to order and get my coffee in about 10-15 minutes. Once I ordered, I got my coffee pretty quickly. The seating upstairs is nice and cozy. However, it gets hot up there right now during summer. The place had AC on but I felt it mostly downstairs. I'm allergic to dust and it triggered my allergies. I'd probably opt to sit downstairs or outside next time. read more

This charming coffee shop has been here for quite some time. I have driven by dozens of times and finally decided to give it a try. It was early so I was able to grab a spot out front. Inside has a rustic feel and a warm, welcoming vibe. There is a cozy outdoor seating area if you want a more scenic view and some fresh air. After seeing all the yummy looking pastries in the display case, I decided to get one. I refrained from ordering multiple because they all looked so good. The pastries are made fresh daily and come from Cos & Pi. You won't find any day-old baked goods here. I ordered an Almond Croissant for my hairdresser since I was on my way to see her and a Blueberry Muffin for myself along with a small regular coffee. The coffee comes from their family farm in Guatemala, and you can taste the quality in the roast. It was smooth, robust, & perfect! The muffin was moist, soft, and delicious! There were lots of fresh blueberries inside and a tasty blueberry compote on top. The crumble topping was also delightful. My hairdresser was very happy with the croissant. She said it was fluffy inside and crunchy outside with the perfect amount of almond filling. The service was friendly & efficient. I was happy to see that they also have Fosselman's ice cream, which has been a staple in the SGV area for over 100 years. You can bet I'll be back for a scoop and maybe a chocolate chip cookie too! read more

BEST COLD BREW WITH VANILLA AND CREAM!! If you are the type of gal who likes somewhat acidic and simple coffee that is on the sweeter side!

Wow, I had the best caramel latte ever here. The quality of the products they use is unmatched. The service was easy and quick! They were also super patient while I was getting text orders for my coworkers which I appreciated and thankfully no one was behind me! The ambiance is young, hip and chill. It's right next to the studio I work at and I'm beyond grateful it's so convenient. read more

This is my first time at this Jones Coffee Roasters and it's just as good as the other locations. The coffee is excellent, the ambiance is fun, and the art is stimulating. It's a vibe. The service is wonderful and the staff is friendly. A friend and I ordered coffee and croissants. It was delightful. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside, caught up, found ample street parking. But there is a garage parking available across the street for those who prefer garages. This is a wonderful spot to catch up with friends or pick up a really good cup of Jones. Get it? read more

Jones is one of my favorite places to get some work done in South Pasadena! I love the vibe this coffee shop has. There's plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs. Tables are small so maybe not the best place for group studying. Another downside to this place is no wifi so you would have to use your own hotspot. Parking: no parking structure specifically for this place but there's plenty of free street parking! Be careful of the time limit on the street parking.

Very convenient to the Metro station, great decor and vibe and extensive selection of coffees (more than I need, TBH)

Been coming for years. Love the environment. Coffee is 4/5 maybe 4.5. But the staff is very mid for the most part and lately it's been worse and today it was bad enough that I've decided to leave this. Coffee is super expensive now and I always tip 2 bucks for a cup. Be cool if you have it in you. Or at least don't be an arrogant dck. read more

Jones SP. Great coffee, but deplorable staff. Two cashiers loudly mocked me when I asked about washing my hands. With their washrooms out of order, I told them I'd be back after using a washroom across the street. As I gathered my laptop, I clearly heard them making fun of me. When I approached the counter to confront them, a supervisor annoyingly said she told them to stop. I informed her the behavior is unacceptable and uncalled for. Thank you cashiers for deciding the review for me. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop probably in all of LA. My one problem is that they don't have an accessible restroom which is hugely problematic as a disabled person. The bathroom is upstairs, so if you can't use stairs, you have to find a bathroom somewhere else. read more

I met a friend here, and the coffee and ambiance don't disappoint. I ordered a cappuccino with caramel flavoring (you can get regular or less sweet caramel, and I chose the less sweet option). The upstairs area is so cute, and the decor makes you feel cozy as you sip your drink. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is the lack of gluten free pastry options, but otherwise, it's a gem. read more
