Cute but very busy place! Came here after I found out the…read moreoriginal coffee shop I wanted to try near the area is closed on Sundays. 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 love the colors and flavors of the avocado toast. The avocado was incredibly fresh. The cherry…read moretomatoes were robust And crisp. The addition of the pumpkin seeds and black sesame seeds added to the flavor. I ordered a vanilla latte with cinnamon in it hands-down there's the best vanilla latte I've ever had. It had the wow factor.

The toffee was a nice touch and I really enjoyed that the cream had real banana in it. Big fan! Parking was not bad at all, I didn't even park in the lot in the rear and had no trouble finding parking elsewhere. Music wasn't too loud or distracting, so very conducive for working or chatting with a friend!

I LOVED MY DRINK! As soon as I finished I wanted another one. Such a treat. It's a cute cafe with a…read moregreat selection. They certainly have a diverse menu that rotates and it seems they are in the specialty coffee / matcha lane. Cream tops, fun flavors and such but they use good coffee beans so I am sure there regular standard cafe items are also really good! 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!

There is a lot of seating and it is near a large public parking facility. It does seem like a lot of people come here to study and work, so it can get very loud and crowded!

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!

My friend got the banana protein matcha & it was good from what I tried of hers(: (& that's that I'm not a real matcha fan) ha He was nice enough to ask us both if we would like cups of ice waters & we said yes!

The…read moremenu is incredibly abundant and you really get your money's worth with their generous portions and fair prices. I tried the Spanish latte, which was good, though I personally think it could have been a bit stronger. For food, the Eggs Salmone is a must. It's just yummy, especially with those perfect runny yolks. While it definitely gets busy on the weekends, the line moves quickly so you aren't waiting forever. Plus having plenty of parking in the back makes the whole experience way less stressful. It's a solid go-to spot :)

First time visiting and I can see why it's so popular! They…read morehave just about every breakfast, brunch and lunch food items your heart desires! It was so hard choosing but we sat down with the Vegan Portobello Panini and Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich, both so yummy! The service was fast considering the long line, but they served the food fast. The ambiance was an absolute delight! They had PLENTY of tables throughout the restaurant. Inside, outside in their adorable patio and toward the back. It would be impossible to not get an available table. One thing too, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place! They have amazing looking muffins, cakes and shakes!

Came here after checking out Descanso Gardens and was worried they'd sell out so I placed an online…read moreorder. Picking up was smooth and easy but parking was awful. We had to circle the area a few times to find street parking. It would be nice if they had a designated parking lot in addition to street parking because some of the businesses around there had that. There was seating inside despite the store being pretty small, so my bf and I just ate inside. The cakes were pretty good! I got the Matcha Yuzu and he got the Kinako Chestnut. I couldn't really taste the yuzu until I tried only the first layer of cream. The matcha overpowers the yuzu a lot because there was two layers of matcha cream and one layer of matcha cake. Still really good and can taste that the matcha is high quality! As for the kinako chestnut, we couldn't taste the chestnut much but there were some chestnut pieces hidden in the cake! I would love to try the peach one as well but this place is quite far. Hopefully I'm in the area when they have the peach seasonal again.

Ordered UberEats and my order arrived in less than an hour!…read more Menu had a good variety of sandwiches, cakes, and drinks. Pricing was pricey. Most of the cakes cost $9+ and the sandwiches were $10+! Got the Egg Heaven Sandwich ($13) and it was pretty much an egg salad sandwich. The bread didn't taste fresh and was quite dry. I was expecting the bread to be soft and fluffy but that wasn't the texture at all. The egg salad was quite heavy on mayonnaise and had too much pepper for my preference. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the sandwich unfortunately. The Sunny Side Up (Coconut Mango Mousse Cake) - $9.50 - was delicious! Love how it was nicely packaged in a cute tin! The mango mousse was so creamy and I could tell it was made with sweet mangos! The cake was so moist and fresh. The coconut cream on top made it even more delicious! Definitely recommend! The Tiramisu ($9.50) was so good! It was so creamy and every bite was nicely layered with mascarpone mousse/coffee jelly and topped with cocoa powder. It wasn't too sweet and the cream didn't feel too heavy. The cake was very fresh and soft! Overall, I didn't enjoy the sandwich but the cakes were incredible and definitely worth getting!

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.

I just finished a hike in Altadena, found Callisto on Yelp, and wandered in looking for a quiet post-trail moment. Instead, I was met with such a genuine warmth that made me feel like a guest instead of a transaction. The owner herself took my afternoon in a much softer direction. I ordered the afternoon tea service and fell into my book. This is the kind of place that invites you to read, write, and decompress. My tea of choice: Yellow Brick Road with osmanthus flowers blended with Darjeeling black tea. It tasted like sweet blossoms dipped in honey. The service also comes with three mini savory toasts, a scone with mascarpone cream and marmalade, and dessert. I chose the chocolate peanut butter cupcake which sent me into a blissful chocolate haze for the rest of the day. If you crave quiet, delicious, almost healing moments, you need to come here. Wendy, thank you for taking such good care of me and inspiring me to chill out for the rest of the afternoon.
