Found Rosebud Cafe while looking for a place to grab breakfast before running a few errands, and I'm really glad I stopped in. It wasn't overly busy, so I found a table right away and had a chance to relax for a bit. I ordered an oat milk latte and an avocado toast. The latte was smooth without tasting burnt, and the toast was fresh with a good amount of seasoning. Nothing over-the-top, just really solid food and coffee. The staff checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was good, and everyone seemed genuinely friendly. I also liked that people were doing a mix of things--some were meeting friends, others were working on laptops--which made the place feel comfortable and lived in. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the area. Nice atmosphere, good coffee, and a relaxing way to start the morning. read more

PARKING in the back (free), NO WIFI on weekends, MILK SUBSTITUTIONS available, lots of seating Love the ambiance here and their table policies - great spot for a quick chat or stop for drinks. We got their macchiato and blueberry matcha (seasonal?) and I wasn't too big a fan of the matcha as it carried no blueberry flavor at all. It wasn't bad as a matcha latte but it's definitely not a standout. Their coffee roasts, on the other hand, are much better and I would recommend those instead read more

Great weekday Wifing/Work from Cafe, plenty of free parking, decent caffeinated drinks, lots of seating, and some outlets (bring an extension in case). Good for individuals and larger groups. Wild Parrot Brewing Company opens at 3pm. Anyone sitting on the brewery orange side will need to vacate unless they become a brewery customer. I believe there is no wifi during the weekends. Best place to wifi in east Pasadena! read more

Looking for coffee in Pasadena I ran into this place and the coffee was superb!!! A young person Anna made my vanilla late and they did a wonderful job. Thanks for helping me stay awake with that amazing cup of coffee! read more

I regret not trying one of the floral latte options but, I will on my next visit. But, when I found out the syrups are homemade, I just had to try the vanilla. It was actually really good. I like that they kept the flavor subtle, and exactly where it needed to be to complement their brew. It was also very creamy, quite delightful. The cafe has a lot going on, a strong vibe that I think many would appreciate. My visit was short and quick, but still enjoyable. The cashier recommended my flavor, saying it's her favorite, and she didn't let me down. Nice job, good coffee. read more

This coffee shop has free parking at the back of the store. They share a space with Wild Parrot brewing company. The inside is very spacious and there were a lot of people working. My nieces ordered: peach lemonade and a Salted Rose Matcha and I ordered a hot rosebud chai with rose syrup. We also ordered a Melt on sourdough. Everything was really good! There's outside seating as well so we opted to do that! Definitely worth coming back! read more

I love this coffee shop! It's so spacious inside with plenty of seating. Came here to cowork with a friend, and it was the perfect spot. We actually sat at the bar for a while and then moved to one of the communal picnic style tables. Love that there's a bar inside that opens at 3 pm too. We might come back for trivia night! Ordered a cappuccino and a vegetarian breakfast burrito. The coffee was so smooth. I really liked the taste. They roast their own beans in one of those big machines, which is pretty cool. Burrito was also pretty good! They crisp it on a panini press. The green sauce really made it though. It reminded me of a mint chutney or something. Love the concept of this place and that they have community programs that help kids get jobs. I hope they open more locations, but I will definitely be back! read more

Still as good as I remembered it! I got the strawberry almond croissant this time. The filling was perfect : sweet with strawberry jam without losing the almond flavor. The croissant is perfectly flaky. A 10/10. I got the ice Oatmilk latte with simple syrup -my go to drink and it did not disappoint . Happy to be back ! read more

The interior is huge and spacious! I went around 2 on a Tuesday and it was pretty crowded. Lots of people on their laptops so seems like a good spot for working. They have a front and back patio and parking lot in the back. The cashier wasn't very friendly and didn't greet me. Didn't talk much. I ordered a macchiato and blueberry muffin. The macchiato was not drinkable. I am not sure if it's the beans but the drink was not smooth and very bitter. The blueberry muffin looks like there was a bite taken out of it. The blueberries in the muffin were tart and didn't taste very fresh. Would not come back. read more

There is plenty of parking on the street and in the back of the coffee shop. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered seasonal toast that had apples. It was very fresh, and the bread was soft and crisp at the edges. I also got a flat white and it was great. I came here with a friend to catch up and it is a great place to do that. I definitely want to come back and try other items on their menu. read more

Pre-wedding caffeine fuel Food: Colorado Breakfast Sandwich I appreciate the choice of thick sourdough like English muffin (4/5). It was pipping hot so the egg was enjoyable (sometimes places do not heat up throughly). I asked to remove the bacon and the cashier was so gracious and suggested a substitute instead which the Turkey was great! This held me over until after the ceremony. Drink: Of course a seasonal pumpkin pie latte is the only fitting drink haha The espresso did the work well, but the syrup was a bit lacking tasted more artificial (3/5). My taste buds needed more pie spice and the dazzle PSL vibe which I would try another drink next time. A small pro is their ice size. Ambiance: A wide range of customers on their computers studying / working remote which infers great wifi, computer outlets and table arrangements. I loved the in-house brewery tank to add a little touch Service: The cashier was kind and sweet! She offered suggestions and items executed in a timely manner. All employees displayed their happy countenance with smiles to everyone that's a 5/5 read more

This will be my second time coming here and oh my have things changed since I was last here. Came with my best friend on a wonder Sunday morning and to also get my Pasadena Coffee Passport stamped. They have plenty of street parking by the way. I noticed they have added outdoor seating, what a plus! As I walked in, I remember it being a lot emptier, but now there's actual seating & a Wild Parot inside. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte with Oatmilk. It was delicious & subtle. The staff were nice, and service was quick. read more

This place was amazing! There's a nice sized parking lot in the back but if it's busy, it can fill up. Both indoor seating and also outdoor tables in the back lot in case you have pets. I ordered the bacon burrito and the green salsa/sauce it came with was so good. Although it could be filled up a little bit more. Then my plate was brought to the table it seemed small compared to the rest of the plate. Then I got a lavender latte and it was perfection. The staff was super friendly. Nataly recommended the cinnamon roll and that was sooo good. It didn't end up making it to the photo it was quickly inhaled by the table. But I would order the cinnamon roll again in the future. read more

I love coming here for their flat white and lattes! The ambiance is really cozy with plenty of indoor seating and parking in their back lot. It's a great spot to get work done at and I love coming here for my morning cup of coffee. They also serve an assortment of pastries and so far I've tried their chocolate croissant and the strawberry almond croissant which were both really tasty though pricey. They don't charge extra for alternative milks so I like getting their flat white with almond milk. The coffee beans are roasted in-house and I love how smooth their coffee is. Overall a great coffee spot to check out in Pasadena! read more

Ever been to a coffee shop that eighter the coffee is good, but pastries are not? Or the other way around?!... yes i have and reason why I dont go back or rarely go.... With so many coffee shops available, some due offer that combo, decent pastries with good coffee... In my opinion, this place has both.. Tried rosebud twice from both locations, pasadena and highland park.... wanted to see if there was a difference lol... and satisfied with both... good coffee and pastries were on point.... (not too sweet and enjoyable) The blueberry muffin was good Cinnamon roll is good Chocolate, hazel loaf was good All enjoyable to the last bite... Coffee is good, good enough for me to say "ill come back".... Street parking for the pasadena location, able to find parking... for highland park, can be a lil tricky since highland park has become a lil bit popular... Friendly staff for both locations... No real ambience, order and go... or sit and enjoy... Definitely going back.... So, when you go... Enjoy.... read more

Really good coffee. Free Wi-Fi and ample seating to study on weekdays. Space is shared with Wild Parrot brewery (think they open at 3), so unsure of vibe when that's open. Note there is a laptop free zone that is encouraged for socializing on weekends so no free Wi-Fi and limited seats to work on computer. read more

Wow! Got the orange white chocolate mocha and that was the best mocha I've ever had! Seriously delicious, I'd come back again and again for that drink. Staff were friendly, ambiance was a combination of a coffee shop and brewery. Scattered outlets may make studying here a little challenging so charge your computer beforehand :) read more

Have been coming here ever now and then for years, but I just never got around to writing a review. The drinks are always delicious and the staff super friendly. This time we got a ginger honey latte and a butter pecan chai. The ginger honey latte predominantly tasted like ginger and rosemary, which I loved. Perfect festive flavors for the holidays. The butter pecan chai was very buttery and tasty. I usually prefer my chai a little spicier but it was still great. Will be back soon for sure! read more

Very nice energized atmosphere. Yes it's laid back but with a warm welcoming social oriented vibe.

Great ambiance and friendly service. The latte was spot on--perfectly extra hot, just as I requested. The Spicy Bird sandwich, however, was a letdown. It lacked the spice promised in its name and tasted a bit bland overall. Maybe it's just my palate, but there was an ingredient with an off-putting smell that didn't sit well with me either. I was sad to have sacrificed my carb count to try something new. Still yet, I look forward to returning for their coffee and trying out their pastries. read more

This place is highly recommended by one of my foodie friends. It's her favorite place to hang and to relax herself all the time. As soon as I walk in, the spacious and cozy environment totally amazes me. I spent time to walk around and give myself a quick tour before I place my order. People are very nice and friendly. Felt so welcomed here. Lavender latte is super refreshing and the fragrance of lavender is long lasting in my mouth for the rest of my afternoon. I slowly sip on my coffee and stay here till they close. A very remarkable first-timer experience. read more

Rosebud Coffee was the spot I came to on a Saturday morning to get some work done. I visited the store at around 9:30 am and knew it was going to be busy. They have free parking in the lot, but it was nearly full by that time. After heading inside, I needed to wait a bit before I could order. I ordered a lavender latte and only waited a few minutes before it was ready. It was just okay, nothing amazing. As I searched for an opened table, I saw there were a few options inside left. Fortunately, I was able to grab the table with an outlet. Despite getting an outlet, I soon discovered that they do not provide the WiFi on the weekend. At that point, I needed to resort to my hotspot, because I was using a laptop for work. In terms of noise level, this place was very loud. There were consistently a lot of other customers, but it's also a very social spot. Note: American Express is accepted. read more

This coffee shop is full of Pasadena pride! I love the decorative design and vibe of the cafe. It's definitely a place you can chill at, do homework, etc. They have many different types of pastries and burritos as well! I tried the matcha donut and it was really good, very soft. The latte was made to perfection. And they share the space with a brewery?! Cool! I'll have to come back and try that out at night. Lots of parking in the back and the service was friendly and fast! We love to see it read more

I was looking for a space to work on a Sunday. I came across Rosebud in a blog post, and it seemed to fit the bill really well. I specifically came here to work, as I don't have the environment at home. I was disappointed to see a sign on the table that read: "No laptops on this table between 11am - 11pm. You may look for another table or work on the patio." I found a small table without a sign. There was a convenient counter next to it - I went to place my phone, but noticed another sign: "Please help us keep the counter area clear." I decided I could work with it and fit my stuff on the tiny table. I went to ask about WiFi and was answered with: "We don't have WiFi on weekends" I can see they are trying to create a culture of "presence" here. There's a great community vibe: lots of people socializing, great coffee + pastries, and they share a space with a brewery. I need "third spaces" at this point in life, and cafes are one of my go-to's. This is my first time experiencing this.. I suppose having a business gives the owners the opportunity to shape the culture how they want to see it. It was a bittersweet experience: I was disappointed by the forced way of doing things ("you shouldn't be working on weekends"), but the coffee was good. Hopefully I can work towards having leisure weekends. read more

Very annoyed. Came in with bag and laptop to get some work done, bought my coffee and burrito and couldn't connect to the wifi. turns out they turn off wifi on weekends. The sign for it is NOT visible from walk in or while you're ordering. As a coffee shop it's obvious people will come in to use that, if you don't have that it should be visibly posted while you walk in or atleast from where you are ordering. You have 2-3 upright signs at the counter. not putting the no wifi sign there feels intentional. read more

Last week I went in for coffee and a breakfast burrito The guy with curly hair was so rude and completely lacked customer service. I haven't experienced this much of an attitude in a coffee shop before. I felt very uncomfortable. I would come in as a treat before going into work and now I won't ever be back. read more

Very sad when you want to enjoy a local coffee only to be disappointed, not only in the 2 mochas & 1 Americano, and hot chocolate that we're not even close to being hot. The breakfast burrito was hotter than the hot drinks. The place was messy and in disarray and could use some serious cleaning. Never Again read more

This has to be my favorite coffee spot in all of Pasadena. The space is shared with Wild Parrot and they split the operating hours. What impressed me most is the outreach that this cafe does with the community. I will keep coming back again and again. The staff is always kind and the breakfast burrito is always a hit! Their latte is good but you can't go wrong with the drip either. read more
