The toffee was a nice touch and I really enjoyed that the cream had real banana in it. Big fan!

Music wasn't too loud or distracting, so very conducive for working or chatting with a friend!

They certainly have a diverse menu that rotates and it seems they are in the specialty coffee / matcha lane.

The service was quick and the space was spacious to work but it does get crowded! They have a nice patio too! I can't wait to come back!

OMG! Highly recommend!…read more 1. Parking - street (metered) or they have a small parking lot. 2. Drinks ordered - matcha coconut water (10/5), dirty thai tea, biscoff latte, hojicha (my least favorite but still good!) and creme brulee latte. All were sooo amazing! 3. Pricing - :( the only down side is it is quite expensive averaging $8+ per drink. But the quality of their drinks brings us back. 4. Service is usually very prompt. Nothing to go crazy over. 5. They have a few tables indoor and outdoor!

Republik is pretty big inside, with lots of outdoor space and seating as well. It was very busy when we arrived, and there was a line, but it moved pretty quickly and I got my order in a decent amount of time. I saw they had an Ube latte, so of course that is what I ordered, and it did not disappoint. Very flavorful and delicious. Service was good, and the baristas were all busy but took the time to greet everyone and thank them as we all picked up our orders. There is lots of free street parking in this area of Pasadena, so that was a breeze.

I don't care for matcha but I've tasted my daughter's order and their matcha latte and matcha tonic are so smooth and delicious! The hojicha latte is perfect, the pineapple tonic, refreshing and tasty, the Vienna latte is decadent, the ayr black tea latte is so comforting! Pair it with one of thei super delicious Sugar bloom pastries, brought in fresh daily...my favorite is the vegan pretzle, croissant and you are set! Everything is delicious and made with artistry and love! Everyone is super nice. They always have lovely flowers from Crankys, very unique! Come with patience and time because you will encounter a line, delicious perfection takes time and you will not regret it. Enjoy!

Located in the wonderfully decorated arcade, Mandarin Coffee Stand seems like the perfect cranny…read morefor a specialty drink and good atmosphere. There's plenty of outside seating as well. 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!

I was able to find parking nearby luckily and that was probably the hardest part. However, it was also really hot that day so I came prepared with a big hat because I saw the line wrap around the building. I was able to catch it when I was at a lull and the line moved pretty quick. A couple of other items that looked really good that I need to try. I know there is some seasonal items that sell out really quick to keep an eye out of. The chocolate croissant was great and I'll have to wait to try some of their other items next time which I also hear is amazing. The dining area isn't the biggest popular places. It's probably not the easiest to find a spot to sit and enjoy unless you time it correctly.

The perfect balance of minty freshness and creamy sweetness makes every sip amazing.

The Pasadena location especially is one of my all time favorites!

Drinks were a little pricey so expect to pay $7+! I enjoyed that there were ice and sugar adjustments available and milk substitutions at no extra charge! Got the Honey Haze ($7.45) and it was just cold brew with honey and oat milk. I ordered a small with creamy oat milk and medium honey. However, it still seemed a bit too sweet for my preference. The coffee tasted like regular coffee I would get at a convenience store and nothing special. The Iced Coffee Rose ($7.45) was cold brew with a rose cream top. I requested it with light rose oat milk and light sugar. However, it still seemed too sweet. The rose cream top didn't taste floral at all. The coffee was nothing special so I definitely won't recommend. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my drinks and I felt like the drinks were overpriced so I won't recommend or return unfortunately.

Considering the quality that they have maintained, this is an exceptional achievement. This location has undergone a number of different physical and structural modifications over the years. What has stayed the same is the knowledgeable, friendly service of the staff. Their knowledge helps make this an incredible place to have a cup of great coffee or purchase fresh roasted coffee beans. I have tried many different combinations of coffees and roasting techniques.... Light medium or dark roast. Rose City blend ground for a drip coffee maker (cone filter) is my favorite. It's nice that they have bites that you can pair with your cup of coffee as you wait. The customers are often drinking coffee, on a laptop, or working on their phone. Great background music plays throughout the main area of the room. There are many customers that come in to pick up their order that they have placed over the phone. The staff here is always busy cleaning, preparing coffee, or helping customers. Depending upon the time that you are there you may have to wait for other customers to complete their order. I love that they have a selection of tables, and counter space. I've never had a long wait to find a place to sit. They also have a few tables located outside with umbrellas. Depending upon the time of day parking can be a problem. There is off street parking along Allen and other side streets. I highly recommend this Pasadena Gem!

The coffee is reasonably priced and actually tastes great. You can really taste the crema, like they're pulling the espresso shots properly unlike a lot of these newer coffee shops popping up lately It feels like they actually know what they're doing and have mastered their craft. I've been to so many newer spots charging $10 for a drink that ends up tasting burnt or way too milky. This would be a great spot for a coffee date or to study. There are plenty of tables, good lighting, and the service is quick and efficient. I'll definitely be back.
