This place is really a hit or miss. I got the breakfast burrito and matcha latte. The matcha is not the most favorable but their breakfast burrito is quite good. Service is okay, wait can be awhile. Would come back if in the area. read more

​"Found my new favorite local coffee shop in highland Park. The atmosphere is fabulous--great decor and a welcoming energy. I ordered the matcha latte and the avocado toast with egg, and both were hits. The toast was fresh and flavorful, and the matcha was whisked perfectly. If you're looking for a spot with great food and even better vibes, this is it." Marcyy 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

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

Rosebud Coffee - Man they be having some pretty as hell latte art here! Great Coffee too! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

You know...I wasn't sure how to start a review for a place I had high hopes for. Went to Huntington Library and needed a drink for the long drive home. Parking: at 1 pm parked around the corner Ordered: vanilla late and matcha with oatmilk. Cost: $13 Staff: professional Conclusion: drinks were okay... I drove for over 1.5 hours and I still couldn't finish 1/4 of my drink. Was not good at all. Ended up throwing it away when I got home. Would I try this place again- maybe, but it's definitely not in my"must try again" list. read more

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

This cafe is really cute, i love the ambiance and love that they have a brewery. The only reason that I give this place a 3 star is because I thought the coffee was terrible. I got thier cold brew and it was sour and watered down. My friend got the americano and it was really weak. Maybe I'll come back for the food and beer once i start drinking again, but definitely would want to come to try the food and beer. read more

Big space, saw lots of outlets/extension cords; great for those looking to get some work done. They've got a few tables outside too. It was a cold morning but it was nice and toasty inside. Cappuccino 4/5 Cinnamon Salted Maple 4/5 Strawberry Almond Croissant 5/5 Cinnamon Roll 5/5 read more

Pretty good coffee here, love how there is a brewery that is right next to it. Fun place to come and socialize with friends

Love the Rosebud Chai, Rosebud's version of a dirty chai! Yum! Great wifi (although they do not have wifi on weekends). Great parking! Great service too! I love the social impact that this place is all about too. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Rosebud Chai (Normally with a single shot espresso, but I got a double!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came by with a friend and Rosebud was bumpin! Ambiance- -a very busy but bustling vibe. You have lunch table /bar type esque setups, tall tables, normal tables, bigger group seating, smaller ones as well. It's a hybrid coffee shop in the day and brewery/bar (I think) at night. I saw previous reviews about staff giving out passive aggressive notes asking you to leave when the brewery/bar was about to open but I actually found it find. It's similar to lights subtly being flickered/off or when last calls are told. It's just that it was the first time for sure. Service- It was normal I guess? Felt very matter of fact, which is fine for me. I don't know what type of day they might be having. Drink- Spicy Chai Latte: I loooveee chai!! A solid drink, it's definitely on the smaller side like a lot of cafes which is just how things are headed I guess. but was delicious! I don't know if I'd need to come back to Rosebud especially with the time differences but I liked the laid back feels and would be interested to try the brewery/bar next time as well. Definitely willing to come back when in the area or with pals! read more

I love this spot! Part coffee shop, part brewery. What more could you want? I love the Colorado breakfast sandwich - it feels different than your average breakfast sandwich because of the Canadian bacon. I always get a cold brew or lavender latte - both solid Options. I love that they employ foster youth and support the community. Great spot in Pasadena :) 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

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

Rosebud Coffee is the right amount of casual, hipster, and down-to-earth for us! We enjoy the vibe and the coffee here. The staff is always nice and pleasant to talk to and we like to sit in the parking lot space when it's not too hot. It's always a nice experience to stop by Rosebud when in Pasadena :) read more

I may be entering my coffee shop era and this is the perfect place to add to the list if you're in a similar boat. This place is amazing! The atmosphere, the space, the staff, the wifi; it's all great. My first time walking in, it was pretty decently packed. But there were still plenty of seats. I've been back quite a few times since to get some work done. I love that there is usually plenty of space and seating options. The drinks and food are pretty good. The options are pretty simple & standard. I usually get an iced matcha or iced mocha and some pastry or toast (depending on the morning). I do like that they are eco-conscious as they use glassware for in-person drinks which is great. It's perfect for me as I can get some pretty solid work done. It's also a great place to have a 1:1 chat with someone. Plus, they have their own parking lot, with plenty of space, which is a huge plus, especially in Pasadena. It turns into a brewery in the afternoon (around 3pm-4pm). But if you're a mid-morning person looking for a casual space to get work done like me, this is a great spot! read more

Rosebud Coffee - Iced Matcha Latte and Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

The sea salt vanilla latte is sooo good! The baristas are very friendly and the atmosphere is very chill.

Very cool place to hang out, eat, or chill. Nice staff! I liked the environment there.

Charging $7 for a mediocre croissant is dumb. I've also had past experiences where staff just seemed rude, like they didn't like me for whatever reason. read more

Thank you for having controls on the WiFi. The last time I was in I was frustrated by every table taken as a work station. One hour per purchase would be awesome. read more

:: Drink :: I ordered the Iced Vanilla Latte and it was good, not too sweet which I like. :: Service :: Customer service was good, the gentleman that took my order was nice. I guess I haven't been here in a while, I didn't know they expanded and now have a brewery in the same spot. :: Parking :: There's a parking lot in the back and there's street parking in front of the shop. There is an outdoor seating area in the back as well. :: Restroom :: Yes, they have a restroom. read more

Love their mission to support and train youth! Vanilla latte was good and the space was lively without making it difficult to do work. Baristas were very nice and helpful. There was plenty of seating inside and most people there were doing work when I came on a weekday morning. Parking was very easy in the lot in the back. I'd definitely come back to Rosebud! read more

Great flat white and gf chocolate donut. Service friendly. Ambience industrial as the coffee shop shares space with a brewery.

Tied for my favorite coffee place in Pasadena. The vanilla latte is always consistent and the service is always great (did not realize they support the youth in the community-- amazing!) I have also tried the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito, both reasonably priced and delicious. It can get a little crowded sometimes but the inside is clean and well-kept, and there is both seating on the inside and the outside as well. Don't forget they also have a parking lot in the back, which is so convenient. And be sure to enter your phone # at the counter every time you visit to rack up some points. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is a cute coffee spot that is inside the Wild Parrot Brewery. It took us a little bit to find it since the address is technically on the side street, but with a little exploration, we finally found it. It is definitely popular since it was full on a Saturday morning (mid-morning) and there was a line to order. Kudos to Rosebud for having alternative "milks" (oat, soy, etc.). There is a nice selection of pastries, but nothing gluten-free so we weren't able to try anything. Our coffee drinks (lattes and mochas), but nothing to make a special trip for. They do not provide wifi on the weekends and have "no laptops" on several of their tables. Neither of these were an issue for us since we were simply grabbing coffees for the road, but could be a game changer for others. read more

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

This place is where you go for community. If you are looking for a quiet coffee shop, where you can be left alone, this is not it. The sound, feel, and look is very maximalist in the sense that whoever created this space was very intentional and thoughtful about utilizing every little nook and cranny to ensure all are welcome, whether babies or pooches. There's an area for brewing, ordering coffee and pastries, and another for food. Plenty of seating to play board games or card games. The theme seems to be the Pasadena parrots, which, (if you know you know) is also part of the merch. There's polaroids of the baristas and their favorite drinks at the register and seasonal drinks as well. I ordered the maple latte but it was nothing to talk about. I also ordered the apple danish (?) and that was the start of the show. I don't like cooked fruit but the flakiness of pastry, the subtle saltiness of the butter, and the tartness of the apples are perfectly balanced by the caramel and crumbles on top. I'm not sure what apples those are, but that is the best selection of apples for that Danish (?) I officially have a favorite fall food and it is the apple Danish. read more

This place has nice atmosphere & outdoor seats in the back parking lot. It's especially busy on the weekends. Great place to hang or "study" They don't stock much pastry. If you come in the afternoon, it's probably all gone. Even at 11.30, there was only a few left. We got kimchi n bacon croissant that's only available on weekends (the spinach n cheese I hear is popular too). It's pricey and the spam doesn't taste much like spam. The coconut raisin bread is a classic - safe choice if you like sweets and coconut. The drinks are ok. Coffee is good. Tea is unsweetened by default btw. They also have brewery and food like tacos inside. read more

Stopped in for an iced tea and was happy to see they had so many options! Plus the "feel good" factor helping support foster kids is priceless! Glad we found this place. We'll be back! read more

I have been going to this tanning place for years and right next to it is this coffee place/brewery. Today was the first time i went inside and it was such a nice and pleasant place to visit. Since it is also a brewery, you would see the huge tanks for brewing beer as the same time which is call Wild Parrot. But it was a bit early for beer at 10:30 for me (kidding, they dont open beer section till 3pm) Had a cold brew and a breakfast burrito. I am not a coffee connoisseur or food critic but everything tasted good. They have very simple items for breakfast and pastry and a good selection for coffee. The thing i love about this place is the ambience, the people who works there. Very cool neighborhood vibe. I'd rather spend my money here than another Starbucks. Support local business, it is a very nice place to have your coffee and do some work on your laptop. (its s big place and lots of seats available, but go early as they fill up by noon). read more

Great coffee spot to get work done! Ample seating options from benches, individual tables to high tops. Free WiFi on weekdays! Didn't realize this but they share the space with Wild Parrot Brewing. Seems like when one shop closes, the other opens. The Rosebud Chai was delish! All the chai flavors with a hint of salt. The cortado was okay, too. I'd come back here to get work done. read more

I first discovered this place pre-pandemic because my colleague and I needed somewhere to meet and work. It used to not get so crowded, but I think the word got out. Great place to sit and chill or work. But last time I was there, it was packed. Also, easy parking (own parking lot, and street parking seems pretty easy), and a HUGE space. read more

Rosebud Coffee doesn't stand out from the busy street on Pasadena, but its honorable mission and affordable coffee make it a place to visit. Rosebud employs early career individuals from underserved communities through serving affordable, tasty coffee. I have ordered the iced latte and oat latte here before. The regular version was a delight, but the oat version was a bit on the watery side. Other than drinks, all staff members are friendly and a great addition to the calm atmosphere. It shares a location with Wild Parrot, a brewery, but even during hours where both are open at the same time, there is a seamless compatibility. Rosebud has quick with wifi and service - could not ask for more for a short afternoon work environment / break. read more

Rosebud Coffee - Iced Oat Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Cool ambiance. The music is a bit loud for studying or working, but if you're here to chill i think it's a cool vibe. I got the matcha with whole milk + syrup and cold brew coffee. The cold brew and matcha were both really watered down. The matcha latte just tasted like milk honestly. We ended up throwing out both our drinks without finishing them. I might come by another time to try out their other items, but so far it was a bit disappointing. The bar side looked pretty cool though, might stop by for trivia night to scope out the vibe. Service was great! read more

I go to Rosebud every week maybe twice a week. I study. Their lattes are delicious and my favorite toast is the Fig toast. I also recommend breakfast burritos. Great staff, friendly and kind. Insist they had more charging stations for lap tops! read more

"Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you." - MLK . With that said let's begin this coffee review. Rosebud Coffee (est. 2017) is an artisan coffee shop in Pasadena. They're located at th corner of Colorado blvd and Roosevelt ave. Back story, they began as an old coffee cart traveling around Los Angeles as a way to empower homeless and transitional-aged youth while they practiced their newfound craft, serving an amazing cup of coffee. They serve a variety of different coffees, espressos, and teas. Their indoor layout is spacious but half of that space is shared with a Brewery. They have some colorful art decor over a huge slab of white painted wall. It was our first time here and after we perused their menu and most of breakfast sandwiches items were not available except for one. Bummer! However, they have scant pastries that look depressing. Thus, we passed on it. We decided to get a hot Rose Latte. It tasted great! You can definitely taste the rose essence in your latte. Female staff were patient, friendly and professional. Service was on point. Prices were fair and competitive. Ample of street parking and rear parking lot. Overall, we had a modest experience, good hot drinks, but was disheartened due to lack of breakfast food items. read more

I came here on a Sunday because I had a lot of homework to do, and was disappointed to find a lot of the tables blocked off from being used by laptops. When I finally found one to use, I went to go find the Wi-Fi information, just to find a sign that says they don't have Wi-Fi on weekends. I understand that they're trying to foster community, but it's unrealistic to expect that people still don't have work on the weekends. I think blocking off tables from being used my laptop is one thing, but not having Wi-Fi is a completely other thing. I drink an iced chai, it was just OK, not worth the price because it really tasted like milk and not like the chai spices. I really like the mission of this place, but I feel like the policies on the weekends are unrealistic to the normal person's life . read more
