Butter croissant
Grace L.

This Philz Coffee is right by my home, and I've been coming here since they opened. I even had the chance to meet Phil at their grand opening. I usually enjoy their pastries, and the staff is always helpful. It's a great place to get some work done on your computer or just relax and enjoy your coffee. I also like getting their Too Good To Go deals, and today I picked up four pastries: a Dubai chocolate croissant, a chocolate chip cookie croissant, a butter croissant, and a blueberry muffin. Such a great deal, and everything tasted delicious! Definitely check this place out when you're in the area.

Stopped by again for a quick iced mint mojito with oatmilk. The drink came out perfectly ! Great ambiance. It's almost always packed so might be hard to get a table. Service was good. Lisa was friendly! Parking is a challenge.

I was curious to see this Southern California franchise of Philz. As in most Pasadena venues, parking isn't free. Unlike other Philz sites with mostly the floor space in the form of a square, this site is a uniquelly physically "linear" branch, the floor space being like an elongated rectangular area forming one straight line from both end entrances. They also have outdoor sitting. With it's welcoming yellow doors and exterior color concept, its bright and tastefully designed interiors, it easily draws one in to come in and visit, and even stay for a while. It was quiet and relaxing inside, in contrast to the vibrant colors and bright lighting. Tantalizing Turkish, which I regularly order from any Philz I go to, wasn't on their menu board but the kind and friendly cashier stated they do have it. Aside from the cashier, there seemed to be only one more staff - the one who made your ordered coffee. This one didn't seem friendly at all. I didn't mind her lack of congeniality, I was more bothered about her lack of food service hygiene. She had just wiped coffee spill off the counter (where she presents the finished coffee to the customer) with a rag. One could easily guess how often that rag must have been used already, and how moist that rag must be... When I asked for a cover for my cup of coffee, she immediately plopped a plastic cover face down on the same counter where that rag passed. I just asked for another cover instead and quietly requested her to not put it on the counter but just hand it to me. Staff in all branches should really receive training on how to hand over covers for cups to customers. Not all coffee baristas are equal, some really make delicious coffee while some just make it so-so. While I do get good-tasting Tantalizing Turkish coffee from the regular Philz I go to, the one I ordered from this branch just didn't make the cut. All in all, it was still a good experience. At least their interior and exterior design is a hit.

Mint Mojito Iced Coffee

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor & outdoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is located behind the building. It's a parking garage. You have to pay for parking UNLESS you can find street parking. Food: I ordered a bacon and egg burrito because I forgot to bring food to work. Paying $9 for a bland burrito with no sauce was pathetic. That's why I decided to remove two stars. One star for the ridiculous price for the small burrito. One star for the blandness of the burrito. The bacon wasn't even crunchy. The eggs had no taste to it at all. Bland. Terrible! The redeeming factor was the staff. The staff made me give this place 3 stars. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, nice, and fast. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

First time at the Philz! We'd come here all the time if we lived closer! Just spent a fun time browsing and shopping at Vroman's bookstore, and felt like we needed a pick-me-up so this coffee shop within walking distance was perfect! Brightly lit indoors and lots of patio seating too. Friendly staff! The chairs are really comfortable. We ordered one hot Ether and iced Ecstatic, both with dark chocolate richness. Looks like based on other Yelp reviews that I'll have to try the Mint Mojito next time!

Iced tesora
Haleh M.

Always made to perfection! Iced tesora with light cream and light sugar. One of my favorite locations of Philz. Service is quick and my drink is always made spot on. I love the outdoor patio this location has. Offing the perfect setup to catch up with friends while getting some vitamin c on my face too.

Mint Mojito $7.15
Erik G.

What We Ordered: -Mint Mojito $7.15 -Gingersnap Coffee $7.15 Stephanie was very friendly and attentive, offering helpful recommendations since it was my first time there. I ordered an Iced Mint Mojito, which was amazing - unlike any other coffee I've had. As a mint lover, I absolutely enjoyed the flavor! I also got a Gingersnap coffee for my wife, who prefers hot drinks; she thought it was a bit too sweet, but I really liked the holiday-season flavor, reminding me of warm sweaters and the holidays. I'd definitely return to Philz to try other drinks, but I'd prefer to visit a location with better parking, as there's no street parking nearby and they don't validate. I'll definitely be visiting other Philz locations in the future!

Tiramisu
Jocelyn T.

Always love Philz and I always come back!! My go to is the Honey Haze, it's light, mellow, and refreshing but still has a great coffee flavor. Today I tried the new tiramisu sweet and creamy and it's a great new holiday flavor but I think I would get it less sweet next time. The cocoa powder on the top was perfect and I would get it again. The cafe itself has lots of seating, outlets, and WiFi making it a great place to get some work done. I've spent all day here before working remotely and love that the outlets are so convenient and WiFi is strong. Would def recommend coming here and the baristas are always so great as well!

Jessica J.

Good quality coffee. I got Gingersnap, but I don't know how much it was since my friend paid for it and it doesn't say on their menu. It was good. I got it hot and medium sweet. Nice tables for studying and place to chill and hang out with friends. For studying, there aren't a lot of outlets for your electronics. Parking is free on Sunday. Restroom for males and females. Clean place.

Philtered Soul Cold Brew (32 Oz)
Joy

One of my go-to study cafe spots! It's crowded on the weekends but not-so much on the weekdays. I came on Monday morning for a couple of hours and there was plenty of seating available. I love their hot foods and sandwiches but imo the baked goods you can skip. The croissant is a solid 7/10 . Nice ambiance and friendly servers. Usually I rotated between the mint mojito, cold brew, mocha tesora, and rose cold brew! You can't really go wrong with these & I always ask for less sweet for the mocha tesora. Parking on Cordova for 90 minutes free (I always stay for longer than that and have never gotten a ticket, but park at your own risk)!

Kit T.

I would only go to Philz for one drink which is the Mint Mojito and I always ask for sweet and creamy. It's my favorite drink from Philz that is sweet and tasty. It can get pretty busy at times so I recommend ordering on the app ahead. The staff are usually really friendlly and asking if I am ok with my drink.

Hot chocolate & cinnamon bread (hot chocolate lovers... you should try this & the cinnamon bread- sooooo good!)
Mindy C.

Food: excellent! Service: Fast & welcoming Ambiance: vibrant, open concept & modern Ordered a hot chocolate ( tastefully soooo good) after lunch (who does that? me) & cinnamon bread ( delicious!)... I'm recommending this location ya'll‼it's in Pasadena on Lake Ave. next to William Sonoma.

Jon R.

Came in for a quick iced mocha tesora, great taste full of flavor and not chalky. Decent pricing. Clean welcoming coffee shop where you can hang out and study or read if you want to. Staff were friendly and polite, didn't wait too long for it to be made.

Let's delve right into this humble review. ;D Haha!…read more Kafana Coffee Bar is a nice little coffee shop hidden in South Pasadena that share the same lobby with a gym. They serve breakfast, pastries, coffee and tea (hot/cold) drinks. Their coffee bar is centrally positioned that offers a 360 degree view of the lobby. Seats were very comfortable with a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered an Iced Coffee ($3.27). And it was simple in taste and in appearance but refreshing nonetheless. Service was spot on. Staff was affable and competent. Prices are fair. Offers free wifi and street parking. What captivating for me was their interior design because it kinda reflected that of your own living room with flat screen tv, bookshelves, bar stool, love chair, sofa and a coffee table. Overall, I had a nice experience and somewhat enjoyed my iced coffee; I really like their chill living room vibe. I still recommend this coffee shop.

On a Friday morning was not too busy at 8:30am and waited for 5-10 minutes to order my Americano. But it was a wait that didn't feel like minutes, rather it felt like seconds. The warm atmosphere of a modern Coffee Bar with minimal decoration and soft music playing in the background with the soft morning sun gleaming a tad through the window made from some cozy and cinematic vibes. My coffee came out and tasted so smooth and heart warming. It was hot but not too hot, just enough to get the cold out of my hands and heart. I sat outside where there were some chairs and enjoyed the peace of a Friday morning. Definitely a 10/10 morning for me. Parking is relatively easy and free around the neighborhood and plaza across the street, so if your nearby, please come through and enjoy a cup and relax!

The crisp taste of well-brewed coffee and chai is refreshing. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment. Also, this is a "Laptop Free Establishment." They have no available electrical outlets and no customer internet.) I arrived at Two Kids (South Pasadena) on Tuesday (around 12:28PM). Parking is free and available. Two Kids (South Pasadena) is located across from South Pasadena City Hall. There's a competitive, free lot in the rear; it's a "4 Hour Parking Limit." Also, there's available, competitive free street parking. Staff is very mellow, professional, and respectful. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff felt very low stress. This location is surprisingly popular, and Staff easily breaks into friendly conversation. My drink took about three minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Espresso w/ Milk & Chai ($6.75 - Iced). The drink is very underwhelming, but it's 1000% better than any chain coffee joint. The Espresso w/ Milk & Chai had a light enduring caffeine, and its flavor is very basic and simple. I would not drive a long distance for these drinks, but if I lived in the immediate area, this business is an easy spot to incorporate into a daily routine. It's affordable and good enough. On ambiance, Two Kids (South Pasadena) happily embraces its "just good enough" features. It lacks many basic amenities; there's no restroom, no customer internet, and no electrical outlets. They proudly have MANY little signs proclaiming how it's a "laptop free establishment." The location is also small; there's about two counter tables and three tiny stool tables. However, Two Kids (South Pasadena) is comfortable. I especially appreciated the air purifier and the strong ventilation. The place felt airy and refreshing. Also, the stereo system is very clear and with chill music. They even had one tiny bottle of hand sanitizer by the counter. It's also very animal friendly since I saw customers walk inside with their dogs on the leash. Overall, Two Kids (South Pasadena) feels built to serve the local community. It's not an impressive spot, but there's glimpses of passion for locals. If you live nearby Two Kids (South Pasadena), I recommend. It's not bad at all. 4.3 out of 5

It's blithering pathetic drink; there was not a good balance of elements in this mint IC. Drink was not brewed smoothly, not refreshing, banal plastic cup, and on top of it über milky. All I had was a tiny sip and I quivered. And I knew that it was a subpar-mediocre iced coffee. The price does not reflect the quality, I threw it away. No wonder the rating was utterly garbage. I suggest they overhaul their drinks. Overall, I will never come back again. And waste my resources. Not sure why folks enjoy this kind of iced drink.
