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.

I once asked the owner about it and he claimed that they do in fact give out items, and said he would check on it that night when I told him the situation.

The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range.

SAVVVY's Coffee, located in Pasadena, California, is a spacious and inviting coffee house that offers a unique and delicious coffee experience. During my visit, I had the pleasure of trying their coffee and pastries, and I was thoroughly impressed. One of the first things that caught my attention was the ample seating space and the abundance of natural lighting at SAVVVY's Coffee. The coffee house had plenty of open seats, making it easy to find a comfortable spot to enjoy my coffee and pastry. The spacious layout and natural lighting created a warm and welcoming ambiance, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I ordered their signature SAVVY's Special Latte, and it was a creamy and flavorful delight. The unique blend of coffee, milk, and their special ingredients created a distinct and memorable flavor profile. I also tried their pistachio croissant, and it was a perfect pairing with my latte. The croissant was flaky and delicious, filled with rich pistachio filling that added a delightful crunch to every bite. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at SAVVVY's Coffee were also a highlight. They provided excellent service and made recommendations based on my preferences, enhancing my overall experience. One minor downside was that the prices at SAVVVY's Coffee were on the higher end, but the quality and unique flavors of their coffee and pastries make it worth the investment for a special treat. Overall, SAVVVY's Coffee is a spacious and inviting coffee house with delicious coffee and pastries, friendly staff, and a relaxing ambiance.

Tucked away in an alley off Colorado Blvd, Savvvy's Coffee Shop offers a serene respite from the bustling LA life. This new and modern coffee shop is adorned with splashes of greenery and boho decor, making it a fun place to hang out. There's no dedicated parking, so be prepared to snag a street parking spot and walk a bit. Plan a few extra minutes for your morning coffee run. Seating is limited but cozy. Savvvy's offers indoor tables and a patio area. I'd imagine that seating can be scarce during peak hours, so consider that if you're planning to linger. On my Friday morning visit, a single barista ran the entire show impressively, juggling orders, crafting drinks, and warming up pastries. The atmosphere here is far from the clamor you'd expect in commercial coffee houses; it's calm and unhurried. I tried the Savvvy's Special--a latte with agave and cinnamon--as well as the Lavender Latte. Both were exceptionally crafted, with balanced flavors and just the right hint of sweetness. I also took a Yelper's recommendation and tried the Strawberry Choco Scone. It was superb--perfectly textured and not overly sweet. Overall, Savvvy's Coffee Shop provides a top-notch experience for those who appreciate quality over speed. I'll definitely be back the next time I find myself in Old Town. read more

Man, I really wish someone had put me onto Savvy's sooner because I've been seriously missing out. I came in expecting just a decent pastry and coffee stop, but everything here completely exceeded my expectations. The croissant was buttery, flaky, and perfectly baked--honestly one of the best I've had in a long time. It had that fresh, just-out-of-the-oven texture that makes every bite feel rich and satisfying. What really stood out, though, was the variety of coffee options. They've got a great selection, and every one I tried was genuinely tasty. Whether you're into something bold and strong or a smoother, more mellow cup, they've got you covered. Each drink felt thoughtfully made and paired really well with the croissant. Everything about the experience felt balanced and high quality. It's not just one standout item--it's the whole menu working together. You can tell they care about what they're serving because both the food and coffee are consistently excellent. This is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to, and I already know I'll be bringing friends with me next time. There are still a few other things I want to try on the menu, but if they're anything like the croissant and coffee, I know I'm in for another great visit. read more

Savvy's is a delightful spot that truly stands out for its exceptional croissants and inventive beverage options. Let's start with the croissants--they are a piece of pastry perfection. Light, flaky, and buttery, these croissants are an absolute treat for the taste buds. Whether you prefer classic plain croissants or opt for their flavorful variations, each bite is a testament to their dedication to pastry excellence. Now, onto their blueberry matcha latte--a unique and delightful creation. The blend of matcha's earthy notes with the subtle sweetness of blueberry creates a harmonious flavor profile that's both refreshing and intriguing. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a twist on the traditional latte experience. Savvy's ability to craft impeccable croissants and offer inventive beverages like the blueberry matcha latte is commendable. The attention to detail in both flavor and presentation truly sets this place apart. For those seeking a pastry haven with delightful croissants and innovative beverages, Savvy's is a destination worth exploring. Your taste buds will thank you for the culinary adventure! read more

And also there is a Jasmine Latte with Espresso in it, but that is under the Espresso section. I was able to get it chilled but without ice. The lowest sweetness level was 50%, but I asked nicely and they estimated they could make a 25% for me. It turned out wonderfully, extremely floral, barely any sweetness so the Jasmine aroma and taste were the dominant ones. In the food side I selected the popcorn chicken. I can take some heat but only a small bit, so I asked for the spice powder in the side. I just looove the texture of the popcorn chicken. You can see in the picture that it's a very thin breading, almost not there, but the texture seems almost as if an invisible rice flour was tossed in the outside. Still juicy in the inside, and small pieces to make every bite pop-able. The chicken comes with a ranch sauce, though to me it's a second thought.

The Cocoa Puffs would get mixed in with the ice, so almost every time I tried to get some cereal in a sip, an ice cube would come along with it. It made the drink a little awkward to enjoy. I liked the coffee flavor, but I probably wouldn't order the Cereal Killer again. Overall, I was really impressed with the Earl Grey latte. The coffee flavor was good in both drinks, but the Earl Grey was definitely the star for me. Both of the drinks weren't filled to the top, but I'll be coming back to see what other secret menu flavors they have next time.

I wanted to take my mom out for some coffee and decided to finally give this spot a try. There is…read moreplenty of parking in the lot or on the street. It is nicely decorated with plants and is very unassuming. We ended up getting la chancla and a latte. They were delicious and a great way to start the day. We waited on comfy leather chairs and just caught up as we waited. It did not take long and the staff was super friendly. They also had patience since we had no idea what to order. It is also pet friendly. I always appreciate that and will definitely be back.

Nono is such a cute place with the nicest staff! I came on a Sunday morning and it was already…read morefilled but the line went by fast. We got two pastries which were delicious! I got the matcha/horchata drink and it was okay. I think it tasted more horchata vs matcha. I wish it was a stronger taste. I'll definitely be back during the winter months, it's such a cozy place! I also loved the community aspect to it. They had posters for events that were happening at the cafe.

Came on a Saturday morning after taking my mom to a doctors appt with her and my 1 year old…read moredaughter. We were looking for a casual spot with good food and fun and delicious coffee drinks. This did not disappoint! I got the pandan latte. Definitely heavier on the vanilla flavor but the pandan still comes through. My mom got the crème brulee latte and it was probably one of the better ones I've had. It wasn't just sweet - you could get the essence of that burnt sugar topping. For food we had the spam kimchi cheese croissant and it was so good! The croissant was nice and flaky. There was the perfect ratio of filling. It is a very craveable sandwich. All of this in itself deserved a 5 star review already, but one more thing happened I need to mention. We were just about to leave and I wanted a straw in my drink. I want to put it in the lid and instead I spilled it all over the counter. A woman who I presumed to be the owner immediately came over to clean the mess and told the girl at the counter to remake me a new drink. Given I was taking care of my mom and my daughter today, that small kindness meant a lot to me. Overall, highly recommend Dash. Good coffee and good people.

I've been to Dash a few times and have enjoyed it almost every time. One time my coffee was burnt,…read morebut that was the only negative experience. I love their pandan latte and their creme brulee latte. The creme brulee is on the sweeter side, so when I'm in the mood for that it's perfect. The service is quick and there's not many seats inside. The parking lot is tiny so parking situation is tough. I've had to park on the side streets before. Overall, Dash is a solid spot to check out!
