Great ambiance and soft music playing in the background great for studying. their iced rose coffee with oat milk is delicious. Highly recommend. read more

High recommend their drip coffee. So good and fresh. Very fragrant light roast coffee. But don't get the ricotta toast, pricy and doesn't taste well. read more

Love this street and the inside deco is just so chill and enjoyable! Flat white is tasty tho the bean is a bit heavy toasted. Good study coffee shop! read more

Second time coming here both times had the lavender latte , first time was good that why I came back. Second time taste like coffee and oat milk no lavender taste. Also got the coffee cake muffin was thick dry and disguising . Gave 3 stars because the first time lavender lattes was good but a different barista then this last time. read more

Friendly service simple menu (a plus) and excellent coffee. Had their latte and it was rich and smooth, and can definitely taste the quality of the coffee. Downside is their hot chocolate was not good. Bland and not much flavor (republik def has better iced and hot chocolate). Place is surprisingly spacious. Super relaxing and quiet. read more

Love Rosebud Coffee! Bright and friendly vibe. Quality latte! I had oat milk and they have a pretty big drink menu with interesting variations. Space to sip and work, or if you want to hang out outdoors, there are a couple small tables out front and a patio area created in the parking lot. read more

A reasonably good cup but I still prefer Jameson Brown down the street. This one works out because it's open later. Colorado breakfast sandwich is good... pretty standard, but at least with an over medium egg. That's a plus, but really, I wanted to complain about the service. I say "Do you have Half & Half" and the dude with the mask over his mouth and not nose (not that those work anyway or relevant anymore) just say "yeah"... doesn't point me to the Half & Half or grab it out of the fridge.... he just stands there. I'm not exaggerated. I then say "where?"...THEN he gets the Half & Half. Is this guy on something? Then my sandwich is up. I ask where it is.. the girl wearing the useless mask doesn't seem to understand why I don't see it... then points to the glass to a small area where a WHITE box BLENDS into the WHITE counter. Maybe she thinks I'm a regular, perhaps, but no... this is my first time. This doesn't occur to her? None of this occurs to her?? These kids are zombies! What is going on? They can't communicate, and they fall for the mask nonsense. Crazy. Hire new people. read more

I ordered an iced chai with regular milk - full disclosure, the drink was watery and lacking in flavor. The high rating goes to the ample space, open layout and social justice aspect of the cafe. There's free WiFi, and many of the customers are students. It's a good place to bring a book or get some work done. I'd be willing to come back and try some of the other drinks. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I dropped by during a trip through town. Spacious, low-key, and unpretentious. I'm not a coffee drinker, but the woman working the counter gave me a good recommendation and I took a much-needed work break before getting back on my way. Glad that Yelp pointed me in their direction. read more

Drove by it couple weeks ago and barely found out about this amazing place! Upon reading the website and learning about the cause, we had to stop by! Coffee was good (I had iced latte and my husband got a flat white) and they were both delicious. We tend to like really roasted/strong flavor and they nailed it. Would 10/10 return, and would 110% keep encouraging people to go #coffeewithacause read more

Disappointed. I was expecting a lavender latte, I got what it seemed like a vanilla latte. There is no lavender aroma, flavor, feel or aftertaste. Not worth the $5.67 for a small size. I have had lavender espresso lattes and this is not it. I don't mind the price for the cause (feed the homeless) but I do mind the hype. Same barista taking cash and orders. Took for* E*V*E*R. What to expect: open warehouse modern style area, great place to study. Lots of college students, bright and open. read more

Rosebud Coffee - $5.67 " lavender latte" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

What a vibe. So glad I found this coffee shop. Everything you need. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Open till late now which is huge for me!! Bet it's a plus for many others. If you check this place out, you will definitely become a regular. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Live music during the week! Super impressive too!! Must come here to study, hang, or read. Absolutely my favorite place around. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great coffee shop: good coffee, lots of seating, lots of parking in the back. Done!!!!

How do you run out of Chai at Lunch Time!?! Place seems nice enough if they get their supply ordering down. Maybe next time.

Cute little place but not good enough that I'd go back again. My iced coffee was pretty good--the lavender was a nice touch--and so was the little oat muffin I ordered. The costumer service was really poor,staff was pretty awkward and unwelcoming and would not name the drink once it was ready, making my friends and I super confused. The place is somewhat presentable, there are storage boxes everywhere and there doesn't seem to be much of an effort to make it look any nicer. read more

Popped in for a quick espresso. It was great. Just what I needed to get me on my merry way.

Great atmosphere! Good coffee ! Lively and casual/fun ! I love the Lavender Cappuccino! The Almond Croissant was AMAZING !

I was invited to an open mic event being hosted here and the vibe and environment was so great I came back for an afternoon meeting that I chose to host here. For starters, it has remarkably convenient parking, which is a huge plus in the LA-ish world. They have a small lot in the back and there's free street parking in the adjacent neighborhood. The cafe is very roomy. From my understanding it's a shared children's karaoke space on the weekends. However, during the week, it's a spacious and quiet space perfect for studying, coffee dates or meetings. It's sparkly clean which bruces up the ambience. It's decorated with art from local artists and changes, like an exhibition. The menu is modest but perfect enough for a cafe. I've had their vanilla latte and the cortada. Both were excellent and I'm already looking forward to going back to try other flavors as well as the pastries onsite. They even offer the space up for event rentals which makes it even better. They have a stage space, lots of sitting and standing room, and two full gender neutral bathrooms. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a calm atmosphere to get things done. read more

I was just had a really awkward first time at this coffee shop. I was walking in and I didn't see that a male employee was using a tape measurer to make the social distancing signs and I stepped on the tape measurer, making it go back to him, I didn't see if he got hurt but I did apologized, I felt so bad for him and I said sorry and he didn't say anything back instead he just stormed off angry and went to the back. Thankfully the sweet girl that was taking my order made it less awkward. The coffee was okay, but I don't think I will ever go back because of my first time experience. I just want to say I'm sorry to that employee that got so angry and I'm sorry to the girl that took my order who I'm sure felt awkward. read more

Finding a coffee shop that you can call your own is hard nowadays. With so many different spots popping up recently its hard to choose which might be the one for you. For me that place might just be Rosebud. I luckily live nearby and whenever I need to grab some great coffee they never fail to deliver. They are still a bit unknown so they are never super crowded so whenever I want a quiet cup of coffee this has been the place to go. Every barista there is super friendly and up for conversation which is nice. As for the coffee I have tried the espresso, pour over, drip and cold brew coffee from them and all are great. My personal favorites are the cold brew or the espresso, if I feel like sitting and chilling before heading off to work. The cold brew is a bit on the expensive side at 5 dollars but its consistently well made and a good refreshing pick me up. They have the typical pastry section you would see in smaller coffee shops. I have tried their kimchi spam pastry, chocolate croissant and ham and cheese pastry. If you are looking for a quick easy bite on the go they get the job done. I feel like next for me is some of their specialty drinks just to change things up I'll try to add that to my review soon. read more

I just had the best matcha latte of my life here. I ordered the matcha latte half sweet with pistachio milk-- it was incredible. I didn't know how good pistachio milk was until today. The sweetness level was perfect at half sweet, not super sweet but perfectly sweet that I can't stop sipping it! I wish the drink was bigger. It was gone in less than 5 min because it was so good. It was about half the price of what I've spent on other matcha lattes elsewhere in Los Angeles county. I can't wait to come back again just for the matcha latte with pistachio milk. The atmosphere looked so nice, cozy but roomy and peaceful at the same time. It would be the perfect place to work or chat. read more

What a spacious coffee shop and it is quieter than most even with a nice music melody playing in the background. Seating is ample. My oat milk vanilla latte was well balanced and yummy. The coffee in the pour over wasn't my favorite, but my husband liked the flavor. The mini gingerbread loaf was delicious. Tender moist crumb and cute presentation. Thankfully I did not have to share this with anyone. You can get other food items here if you are hungrier than a baked item. read more

Rosebud is exactly what I was looking for in Pasadena; a cafe with great drinks, plenty of space, and a very community driven feel to the whole thing. + not having to fight for parking in Pasadena is a blessing. I ordered the Vanilla Rooibos tea (would highly recommend!). I learned that Rosebud puts their day-old pastries 50% off, which is really cool! Definitely give it a shot if you're in the area. read more

Rosebud is a great shop to meet with friends (ample seating & tables for larger groups if need be), working/studying (individual work areas and outlets available), and coffee! My iced americano is delicious. Thank you Rosebud! read more

When I was looking for a shop that sold oatmilk lattes, this was the first one I visited and haven't looked for another one since! I have repeatedly returned to this cute coffee shop because: 1) they have great coffee 2) space is HUGE, great for studying + working; plenty of outlets 3) decently quiet 4) good vibes :) I'm a simple coffee gal: a latte, cappuccino, or macchiato (the real one, not the caramel, sugar-infused Starbucks one) with no added anything please :) Just good espresso and milk...Also, goodbye almond milk and helloooo oat milk. If milk alternatives are your thing and you haven't tried oat milk, definitely give it a try! I will definitely be returning to work on more secondaries :) read more

Terrible service and the food was just awful. I really wanted to love the place and even went a few times but it's just bad

Delicious, definitely a place for real coffee lovers. Friendly service. Typical pricing for a specialty coffee shop.

I come here about 2 times a week when I'm working remote. There are plenty of seats to chat, study, or work for a few minutes or a few hours. I've had most of the espresso drinks as well as the pour-over coffees and have loved them all. Price-wise it's not the cheapest but your money is going towards a worthy cause instead of to a $25 billion per year revenue company that likes to call cops on minorities (fictional company - any resemblance to actual businesses is purely coincidental). read more

This place is awesome. They feature art from (local?) artists. The chai latte is really good, and I would really reccommend their matcha scone, it's delicious. The service is great and the architecture in the interior is really interesting. There's a lot of space to sit around. I plan on returning again for the great drinks, pastries, and most importantly, their awesome service and work ethic. read more

I loved everything about this place! Today we got to visit this lovely shop with a toddler and she loved the fact that she could play while we had coffee. This place is very clean and they have very nice decor. Also the coffee is really good quality. read more

Came here for an open mic night so keep that in mind as I write this review. One thing I love about this place is the fast that they employ former underprivileged people who are striving to life a better life. I mean... that alone deserves 5 stars and the baristas are incredibly friendly with great backstories so I'd encourage to sit down and chat with someone during their lunch break. Highly support! The coffee was decent but not out of this world unfortunately. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here for the first time today. I did a quick yelp review to find a coffee spot in Pasadena with wifi and read about Rosebud. As someone who works in ministry, I salute this place for what they do in the community and definitely want to support them. I parked at the back lot, entered the shop and was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of space to sit and work. My almond latte was strong and delicious, service was excellent, place was very clean. Wifi connection was great. I am so happy to find this place, will definitely come back soon! read more

cute space and amazing coffee - the cold brew was smooth and the flavor they added was perfect. the staff is super sweet as well! tons of space to spread out/social distance and while I haven't worked/studied here yet, it seems like a great place to do so. there is a parking lot out back and street parking for 2 hours near the front. highly recommend! read more

This place is a gem. This local coffee shop defines community. Their mission to help at-risk youth goes beyond the words I could use to describe how amazing that is. If i could, I would give them more than just 5 stars. I'm a college student with a load of homework so coming here to study, get out of the house or simply sit and browse on my laptop has become something of a necessity. When I walk in I'm greeted with smiles and in an instant I smile just a bit bigger. They are so kind and their coffee matches up to that. Love coming here. So spacious and the energy is what you need. If you haven't already, you should check it out. read more

Great coffee shop! Love the vibe, love the coffee, and love the employees. The coffee here is out of this world! Tastes fresh, flavorful, and just overall delicious. The employees are super friendly and take their time perfecting each order. The menu is amazing, the pastries they have are super fresh, and you have a lot of different options with your coffee. When in Pasadena, definitely try Rosebud and i promise you won't go anywhere else (: thank you Rosebud for my yummy coffee. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Hello new coffee place! Finding Rosebud could be a bit hard, but just keep an eye out for Chirp, a rental spot for child parties. Parking? Super easy on a weekday, plenty of street parking. The employees here are extremely welcoming! The way it's decorated will definitely appeal to all the minimalists out there. Menu is straightforward, definitely not like Starbucks or Coffee Bean.... Mint mocha: yum! It tasted like an Andes chocolate. I really wanted to try their syrups, since they all sounded so different and interesting, and I was not disappointed at all! Vanilla latte: definitely too sweet for my liking. My sister did enjoy it, it was her drink though. If you're not keen on the sweets, either ask for it to be less sweet or steer clear of this one. Pastries, chocolate croissant and blueberry muffin: something about these just didn't taste right. Neither items had the fluffiness of a pastry. The croissant didn't have the guilty pleasure of chocolate. The muffin didn't have the fruity burst of flavor. Honestly, they kind of tasted vegan and gluten free. Maybe they are and I wasn't ready for it. The coffee here is definitely something I will come back for; unfortunately, baked goods were definitely not for me. Do come and try the coffee here! read more

How could this place not be the landmark cafe in Pasadena in all travel magazines & local news? Maybe it is & we just didn't know it. We were looking for a coffeehouse to waste time. We walked in to see beautiful art & high industrial ceilings. My cappuccino was pure art with the foam & espresso forming a beautiful organic tulip design on top. The breakfast toast came on crusty gummy bread with avocado, organic mushrooms, arugula & a poached egg. There was no need to season because the sandwich chef/sandwich designer had it perfect. I just couldn't help taking a moment to write this review with no request ever asked of me. Very cultural feel. Very nice staff that compliment each other & give each other credit for their part in our experience. Loved this place! read more

I had ice pumpkin spice latte and morning bun. Ugh! The latte taste like just milk! Morning bun just ok.

So this review is based off of the coffee PURELY. I didn't enjoy the coffee but the kidccino they offer was a hit with my kid. Would return for my kid because they also have a kid space for kids to play in! So I definitely love that. read more

Came in for a cup of coffee. Was told they don't have drip coffee because they close in an hour....wut? Tried an Americano instead. Took two sips. Not good- threw it away. I really want to like this place, but they don't make it easy. read more
