Stopped here before my sons game at the university. Parking was easy for a late Saturday morning. Service was friendly and quick. I was sad they ran out of scones but I got an almond pastry that did not disappoint. I ordered a latte with almond milk and a pump of vanilla and my husband got a drip coffee. Everything was delicious but for $18 I am not sure I would go back. The cup size we got was pretty small and even though everything was good I am not sure I can justify the extra charges for using almond milk or 1 pump of syrup. There was a good amount of indoor seating and the bathrooms were clean.
Great service and coffee smelled amazing! Tried pour over here for the first time and would go back to try the other beans they have. I can tell they take pride in making the best drink for you.
Great spot for some coffee right in the downtown area. Cute patio seating with large interior. Bright and welcoming service. Staff were helpful and accommodating for our requests. Our coffee was a bright espresso, smooth over ice. Hoji was perfect. The smoother matcha choice almost resembling a touch of boba with muted matcha. Refreshing! Inside book selections to enjoy while visiting or available or purchase. Whole bean coffee bags, teas and apparel. Bottled beverages in fridge with croissants and baked goods in front by the register. Across the street from lemon zest and 609 community space. Limited parking along front street. Parking lots throughout the downtown area within walking distance. Restroom for customers.
Extremely welcoming and cute coffee shop. Honestly my favorite experience at a coffee shop. They do take the time to roast each coffee and you can taste the quality difference. The time flies while waiting for your order as they have a fun reading section and bulletin board to look at. Lots of seating room and still feels very spacious. The ham and cheese croissant was flaky, warm and tasty. Don't overlook their pastry foods because they are ...wow! I feel special saying I got the last O My Darlin citrus lattes ;) and "oh my " it was delicious ! My husband is always a fan of espresso tonics and he said his was just as good ! I think this will be my new local spot.
I visited Penny Coffee Roasters to get new coffee beans since I was running out. This spot is located in downtown Azusa. I went to this location at around 10:00 AM on a Saturday morning. It was moderately busy but many folks were primarily ordering and going. There were plenty of indoor seating and a few right in front. I tend to prefer dark roasts, so I decided to grab the standard issue coffee beans. I saw they also had pour over options, so I ordered one of the Ratnagiri. This was ready in about 10 minutes. I was able to grab a window seat with great natural lighting to enjoy the coffee. They have an outlet nearby, so I felt this could have been a great study spot. For parking, there is street parking available right in front. It could be a bit difficult to back out into traffic. There's also a parking structure nearby as well. American Express is accepted here.
I ordered the Honey Graham Specialty Coffee ($6.50 - Large - 16oz - Iced). I froze in utter wonder. It's silky, soft and releases a cuddly honey aftertaste. I felt awake and happy. One of the best coffees that I've tasted. I arrived at Penny Coffee Roasters (Azusa) on Friday (around 7:45AM). Parking is convenient because there's options. There's a hidden parking garage a few feet away with no visible time limit. There's also street parking spots across the street; its sign says, "3 Hour Parking - 6AM to 6PM - Monday to Friday." Staff is professional, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. Staff happily answered my questions with detailed responses. Staff also gave many good recommendations and explained all the shot amounts. My drink took two minutes and 43 seconds. Very quick!! If I had to nitpick, the displayed menu needs to be updated. The menu didn't match my receipt, and I informed Staff that I paid 50 cents less. Staff politely refused when I offered to pay more to match the menu price, and Staff eagerly explained that the menu needs to be updated. Staff even whispered that there's secret menu options that's not even listed on the menu. In addition, this location felt like a local community hotspot. As 8AM approached, waves of customers started to arrive. Staff welcomed many customers by name, and Staff didn't shy away. Staff also cooed and cheerily welcomed a leashed dog as its owner approached the counter to order; this location is pet friendly. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Honey Graham Specialty Coffee ($6.50 - Large - 16oz - Iced). The drink firmly woke me up while releasing a light sweetness. This coffee is a wonderful option for picky guests that dislike bitter, potent brews. The Honey Graham tasted high-quality. This brew is silky, fresh, and crisp. This chill coffee gently carries the flavor of Honey Graham Crackers. The flavor felt natural and distinct. There were moments where I wanted to just swish and savor this heavenly taste. Regarding ambiance, Penny Coffee Roasters (Azusa) is a phenomenal study/work spot. There's about seven electrical outlets. There's customer internet with password; the information is only available by asking Staff since there's no sign. There's also a self-service water station and book cabinet. There's a gender neutral restroom in the back. And the location sparkles with its clean floor, tables, and windows. Penny Coffee Roasters (Azusa) is also fairly comfortable. There's nine interior tables, and there's two outside tables. The interior is well-ventilated. There's also smooth, soft music. Overall, I had a magical experience at Penny Coffee Roasters (Azusa). It's miles better than the Glendora Public Market location. Penny Coffee Roasters (Azusa) has passion, high-quality brews, and a special connection with its community. This is a must-try. 5 out of 5. "GO!!!"
This Penny Coffee Roasters location is the heart of Downtown Azusa. I've been recently to the Glendora Public Location and wanted to check out this store front location. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff who was working solo making other drinks for the few customers already inside. The location is very spacious and could be a good place to work or wind down for a coffee of matcha or coffee. There's a handful of tables for seating. This location offers complimentary water, merch and coffee for sale and there mobile rack of books on display. We came in to order the Nilla Houjicha since it was hit for me at the other location. The staff was very personable and had positive energy the entire interaction. Our drink was made in no time and had the same consistently of taste and flavor as their other location. The Houjicha flavor of matcha is slowly becoming one of my favorite options. I like the smoky and toasty flavor notes of Houjicha. I'd come to Penny Coffee for one again in the near future. Overall, this location is a nice vibe and environment and we felt welcomed the entire time. Thanks, Penny Coffee Roasters! ( ^_^)b
Great space, good coffee, and fantastic seasonal drinks. This cranberry espresso tonic was stellar. Street parking was easy to find!
Marshmallow cappuccino - specialty drink of the season - 9/10. It's a great seasonal drink. Not too much milk and not too sweet. I personally love sweet coffee so I knocked it a point but overall great. Chocolate chip cookie- 11/10, it was a large cookie topped with granular salt on top. It was amazing. It's a great addition to a drink. Great vibe inside with books to purchase, pastries, and events posted on the wall. Lots of seats inside and a couple tables on the outside. There's street parking and a parking lot next door. Also, dog friendly!
Stopped by Penny Coffee Roasters and ordered the iced Honey Graham latte (large) -- and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. Perfect level of sweetness, smooth coffee flavor, and that subtle honey note that makes you feel like you're sipping on a latte and dessert at the same time. Price-wise, totally fair for the quality and portion -- LA could never. The vibe inside? Clean, modern, and bright -- the kind of place that makes you feel instantly more productive just by sitting there. There's a good amount of seating, some outlets if you want to pretend you're working. Overall, it's giving "I have my life together but still like cute coffee shops" energy. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area -- your inner caffeine monster will thank you.
Years ago I remember going to the Starbucks that was about a block away but they closed sometime around the pandemic, it's now a Nekter juice bar. Luckily this new coffee house has sprung up in the business row. I ordered an iced coffee from the friendly barista. The coffee was good and strong but now that I look back I should have ordered an iced mocha or another specialty drink.
Always great tasting coffee and teas! To add, the pastries are delicious (Almond croissant is my personal fave). The atmosphere is welcoming, a nice place to sit and enjoy your drink of choice. Every single barista has been very friendly and a pleasure to interact with. David, Adam and Drew greet every customer with friendly greetings and welcoming smiles. I highly recommend giving Penny Coffee Roasters in Azusa a try, I promise you will keep going back.
Stopped in on my way down from Crystal Lake up in the Azusa hills and grabbed myself a hot Americano. The staff was friendly and inside was well ket and clean ! The coffee was delicious and the product/ merch was nice ! There were definitely lots of options on the menu to choose from so that was great. If you're in the Azusa area make sure to stop in !

I came to Penny coffee roasters after recognizing the coffee I really enjoy from Colossus in Long beach. Penny coffee is so delicious. I got a latte with the tiramisu cold foam and the foam was perfectly creamy and had the right amount of sweetness. We also tried their match latte which was also very tasty. The employees their was really nice and welcoming. She whipped our four drinks pretty quickly. read more

Very few things can get me out of the house early on a Sunday morning unless it involves champagne or football, which also includes cocktails. (FYI: The 5 o'clock rule doesn't count on Sundays.) However, when you get an invitation from Yelp Rockstar Leonard A to meet for coffee it's hard to say, "no." This was my first visit to Downtown Azusa. I was surprised by how cute it is. It reminded me of Old Town Monrovia. Penny Coffee Roasters is new to the area, so we were here to check it out. We walked into the sound of Depeche Mode playing in the background and a friendly greeting from barista Paul. She was an absolute doll. We all know that photos of coffee beverages are better in mugs as opposed to paper cups. Unfortunately, no mugs here. Leonard got a Pour Over in hopes of receiving a set up for better pics. I was running on little sleep, so an Americano was sorely needed. Unlike the Glendora location, this place is a sit-down café, so Leonard and I grabbed a table and spent the next 90 minutes catching up on the chisme. PCR roast their beans inhouse but for some reason my Americano tasted bitter. Maybe it was an off day for the roast or, as coffee afficionado Sam B suggested, it could have been a result of the espresso pull. Aside from that, the service was great, the atmosphere is nice, the pastries looked good, the 80's playlist was great, and Leonard enjoyed his pour over. I'd give it another chance. read more

Beautiful place with beautiful people. If you want to feel welcome and have great coffee (and the best ham and cheese croissant) you come here!! read more
First time trying this location! I have had penny roasters in the Glendora eatery location. My latte was great. I really do believe my barista knows their craft! I think the downside was like there was only one person taking orders and making so many drinks. It did take awhile even know it was during slow time. I really enjoyed the space, it's very calm and minimalistic. read more
Great new coffee roaster in Azusa in downtown! Highly recommend. Spacious seating inside and two seating outside, didn't have an issue finding parking but can see how it can be hard during the weekend or busier hours. The baristas are nice and friendly and the coffee is top notch! The interior is inviting and contemporary. Go check it out! read more
Decent new coffee place in Azusa. It is right along the street of new businesses and apartments. Street parking only but was fairly easy. The coffee shop itself was very spacious and had a lot of tables. Good for studying or hanging out. The matcha latte was good. They use ceremonial matcha and whisk it too! I wouldnt recommend getting the cold foam as it wasnt thick enough and sank to the bottom. read more

The second location for Penny Coffee has soft opened finally! They are on a limited menu at this time focusing on espresso-based drinks and lattes until their grand opening later this month. I stopped by earlier and got an espresso and matcha latte and both were delicious! The shop itself is quite barebones right now with seating available on the side but not much else right now but they are working on it over the next few weeks until they open. The inside is well-lit and gets plenty of sunlight from the huge windows and it is quite spacious overall. Parking is readily available on the street or in the parking structure nearby. The staff were inviting and friendly when I walked in and they were helpful with any questions I had! Looking forward to the grand opening soon! read more
My mom and I love exploring great coffee shops together, and since I just moved to the area, we have a new town to explore! I yelped and found Penny Coffee Roasters in the heart of downtown Azusa and it looked like they just opened in February of this year. I love supporting local coffee places, and I had a great feeling about it, and I'm happy to say - the place is mom-approved and indeed, a coffee shop to return to time and time again. We enjoyed a Hot Americano w/ cream and sugar on the side, an iced Matcha, light on the sugar, with almond milk, a Ham & Cheese Croissant, and a blueberry donut. My mom was able to grab a cute table by the window, with a view of the beautiful downtown Azusa, to our left, while we enjoyed catching up with our coffee and matcha drinks on a Saturday. They have indoor and outdoor seating with huge plants (it is always a bonus if there are plants). As the trusty photographer daughter I am, we even got to snap some cute pictures. My mom loved her Americano, especially their cream. I 100% will tell everyone that the matcha here is top-notch, ceremonial grade, so I definitely would recommend it to matcha-lovers like me to give it a try. Their ham & cheese croissant is *chefs kiss* delicious - with a side of melted crunchy cheese if you're into those lil bits like me. Their blueberry donut will be the death of my summer abs, but honestly its totally worth it since it's the perfect blend between a blueberry cake and a glazed donut, and just plain delicious. Just try it. The two staff members I got to talk to are so friendly and have a great smile to match. They look like they really have fun and love what they do, and just loved being around people. My mom and I felt very welcome, and we loved being there for a past hour and a half. I believe I found my local coffee shop, and will definitely be back with my mom again, plus my fiance and friends. I'll personally gravitate towards their delicious matcha again, but since Penny Coffee Roasters has so many options, I am excited to try more fun drinks and pastries! read more

Penny lover, you quench my desire. Penny lover, you have me burning like fire. If I said you were the only one, I would be a liar. But one things for sure, you had my tastebuds singing like a choir. So let me tell you what I ordered on this coffee adventure. I had the single origin Xanat that had hints of almond, blackberry and milk chocolate. Oh wow, after my first sip I looked at my coffee comrade and gave the wide eyed look of approval as I was snacking my lips. The menu is basic and there isn't any real specialty items but if you're here just for the coffee then your good. My opinion only but this place would be so much better with mug service. Writing about service, it was good and not great and I only say that because I ordered a Pour Over set up and I wasn't given one so that part irritated me. Limited parking along the street on a first come first serve tip. And that's my take on this coffee shop, Peace read more

Super yummy coffee and pastries. Kira is great! Very engaging and sweet. Only recommendation is that they should have someone paint a mural on the big blank wall, the vibe is lacking. Maybe they just opened up, would love to see more color and fun decor. read more
