Very cute space for meet up and study. Super trendy and warm colors with many greenery around. Got the chaggacino which felt weak if you ate a coffee lover. You can always add espresso if you want it stronger. Service friendly and quick. read more

Been craving some coffee so I found this place on Yelp. What caught my eye was the maple latte on the menu - the cinnamon toasted brown sugar! So I decided to drop by. It's a very boutiquey coffee place perfect for an intimate drink and perfect place to do some work! They have a lot of coffee choices as well as pastries. The server greeted us with a warm welcome and and explained the menu and popular items and one of them was the maple latte so I ordered that without any hesitation. Next time I want to try the lavender latte with honey which also sounds amazing The maple latte was perfect. The sweetness was not too much, you can taste the toasted cinnamon and it did not over power the coffee. Looks like I found a new favorite coffee spot in the Pasadena area! read more

I was looking for a good spot to get some work done where I have access to a wall plug, comfortable seating and, of course, coffee. Happy to report I found the perfect place. :) Tucked away in an alley in between Colorado and Green St you will find this lovely cafe with outdoor shaded seating as well as comfortable seating indoors that all give you access to plug in electronics. I had the maple iced latte and yes it was very sweet but to be expected as the ingredients suggested that. It was delicious. I also tried the matcha pistachio croissant which was equally as good. read more

Such a cute spot for a coffee date, coworking, and just hanging out. There is covered outdoor seating, but the interior decor is beautiful. Good wifi available and decorated so nicely to make you feel calm, yet comfy. I loved all the pillows. For drinks, I tried the butterfly pea matcha which was tasty and looked beautiful. Women-owned, latinx-owned, and LGBTQ+ owned. So happy to support this business! read more

Cute little coffee place in Mills Place Shops alleyway! It seems new so the interior is clean and has a chic vibe. The staff that helped me was sweet and kind! I had the Minty Baby but did not enjoy it much. I expected more of the philz mint mojito coffee but it tasted more like mint chip ice cream and didn't taste refreshing. The belgian waffle tasted more soggy than crispy, not sure if I would order again. I've only visited once so my review is solely based on the 2 items. They have a variety of special drinks and teas, as well as many milk options which is nice. I definitely want to be back to try more menu items. read more

Cute little shop! My friend and I were looking for a spot to get some work done - there was initially no open tables, so we left... And then came back because we couldn't find another spot, and there were some open tables! For a non-coffee drinker, the Peach Cobbler was palatable. I got it with almond milk, coming to a total of $6.50 & the croissant was the same price. A little costly in my opinion, but I guess we're also paying for the ambiance (: The croissant had some melted chocolate on the side... This definitely required a knife and fork. It was flaky, bright green inside, but kind of tough to cut through the bottomside. Overall, I'd visit again if I was in the area and in the mood for coffee! read more

Savvvys - Peach cobbler & matcha pistachio croissant - Internet Cafes Near Me - Pasadena, California

A lovely coffee shop. The entrance is in the alleyway off Mills Place. It's the prettiest outdoor seating. Inside is another cool aesthetic. The vibe is quiet and chill. I've been here twice now before writing a review. The drinks are creative and unique. Service was good; the barista greeted me as soon as she was able. I ordered the Boo-Berry Crumble latte. It had to be done with hemp milk, no substitutions-- I don't know why. I didn't like it because it was too watery but the flavor was solid and hit the spot. It was also a little weird with the grittiness of something in the coffee. I tried the Lychee Raspberry Croissant and was disappointed that it was served in a wax bag instead of a plate. Was I supposed to tell them it was a dine-in order? I wasn't asked; I guess I just assumed it would be plated. It wasn't the best croissant. It was filled with raspberry jam and that's all I tasted. If it wasn't in the name, I wouldn't have known it was supposed to be lychee. The second time around, I got a Peach Cobbler with oat milk. I would've gotten breve instead but they didn't offer it. Again, there was that odd gritty texture and I figured that it probably came from the cookie crumble since it was an ingredient in both drinks that I had ordered. I've decided I'm not a fan of their lattes. They just taste too thin and watery. If they offered breve or a coconut creme/oat milk blend, it would be absolutely perfect. So I probably won't be back again. read more

sooooo good but the price kills me!! i tried the miss misery as a coffee latte and matcha latte and both times it was so delicious. However with oatmilk I think the drink came out to $8 Maybe it's a good thing the price is a little too high otherwise I'd be here all the time. The inside is very cute with lots of seating and they also have some seating outdoors. They have gorgeous plants all around. The girl taking my order the first time was very kind and she's the one who told me she can make me a miss misery with matcha, it was delicious. Savvy's is a must try!! read more

Cute little shop in the alley off Colorado. It's a little hard to find, but they have a sign on the street to help you find it! It's definitely a little on the fancy side, but really quirky and fun, especially if that's what you're looking for! I got a bagel there, so I was pretty satisfied, but my husband wanted like a breakfast sandwich or something like that, and they had no options. So he was a little bummed. They do have some pastries, but he had his mind set on something. The woman who helped me was friendly and upbeat. I wasn't overly impressed with the bagel, but it hit the spot and it's not a bagel shop, so I do try to keep realistic expectations. It seemed like if you're looking for some cool drink options, this is the place to try! That's not really my thing so I can't speak on it, but they had tons of options! read more

Very photogenic coffee shop in the alleyway across from Edwin Mills. We got the classic shaken iced latte and Savvvy's special latte. They were similar with the dusting of cinnamon but the special was slightly sweetened. My favorite was the pistachio croissant which has what tasted like marzipan. The lychee raspberry was also tasty with a gooey raspberry jam filling. Both croissant were heated up for us which made for a crispy warm out of the oven experience. read more

My friend told me to check out Savvvys, so I made a pit stop there when I was in the area for an afternoon snack and iced tea. I strolled in around 3:30pm and found the most adorable cafe. I loved its whole vibe, which reminded me of a trendy living room. Customer service was excellent. I was helped by the kindest server. Since I was the only customer at the time, we briefly conversed and had a pleasant convo about how amazing the matcha pistachio croissant was... seriously, that good. I enjoyed everything I ordered. The early grey iced tea had the right amount of sweetness, and I will go as far as saying that their matcha pistachio croissant was the best croissant I've had since I lived in Paris. I don't typically like my croissant warmed up, but it was an absolute must to bring out all the flavors and get that Gooey, buttery, chewy center. read more

This review is only for matcha! Came on a Monday morning and it was super fast. It is tuck away in an alley. There's no sign in the front but it's next to fight academy. The place is decorated very cute, clean and very spacious. The menu is super simple and they also have a list of milk options for you to choose from. The lady that order my drink was super nice and super helpful with my questions. I ordered a matcha latte hot with almond milk the price was total $7.17 (kinda steep) I always make sure to ask if the matcha powder is sweetened or not and also asked if the almond milk is sweetened or unsweetened. I always get my matcha lattes unsweetened The matcha latte was a disappointment. I did not taste the matcha at all. It only taste like I was drinking almond milk. Everything was great but sadly the drink was not. The matcha needs to be stronger. read more

Savvvys - The location - Internet Cafes Near Me - Pasadena, California

I stumbled across Savvy's as I was walking down an alley in old town Pasadena. It is absolutely the cutest little coffee shop I've ever seen! It's crazy because the inside interior decoration is exactly what I want my dream apartment to look like. From the velvet chairs, to the marble tables, and green plants hanging from the ceiling, to the moody jazz music playing over the speakers, it really gives you a ritzy cafe vibe. It is definitely the daytime version of the jazz bar located right across from it. But most importantly, the drinks are so good! I tried a drink from their Valentine's Day menu called strawberry infatuation and it was delicious. It's made of strawberry, vanilla, espresso and oat milk and it is topped with some fruity pebbles cereal. The coffee shop was on the quiet side, and a great place to do work. They also sell some cute knickknacks including teabags and bottled beverages. I will definitely be back to try more of their drinks, including the rosy cheeks, lady lavender, peach cobbler, and maple lattes that look bomb!! The barista who helped us was also very friendly and let us know that the strawberry infatuation was on the sweeter side which was perfect for me because I prefer my coffee drinks sweet read more

#102 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I love Savvvy's, a charming new coffeeshop with amazing service, drinks, ambiance, and workspace. The shop's interior design is tasteful and sheek, and includes elements of both polished elegance and home comfort. The shop has opulent marble tables with green velvet chairs, a built in bench along one wall with a lineup of vibrant colored throw pillows, a plush leather sofa and coffee table in the corner, live foliage throughout the shop, large windows for natural lighting, and modern geometric hanging lights that go well with the open industrial ceiling. I also like how they play classical and jazz music in the background, adding to the soft ambiance of the coffeeshop. I chatted with the owner Savannah a few times and she is such a sweetheart. Savannah mentioned they opened about a month ago and are still in the soft opening stage. She said she hasn't done any publicity yet because she wants to make sure everything is running smoothly before they attract more customers. Fun fact - I recently learned that her dad runs one of my favorite local brunch restaurants that has been in business since 1995. I only mention this because it's pretty awesome how entrepreneurship runs in the family. Moving on to their coffee, Savvvy's has a creative curated menu of drinks using syrups made in-house. And I am happy to say I have now officially tried them all! My current favorite is the Maple latte, which is made with toasted brown sugar and maple syrup. I like how they brulee the brown sugar right in front of you. My second favorite is their seasonal holiday latte, the Miss Nice, which is made with white chocolate, pumpkin, and cinnamon. It's THE BEST winter latte around, in my opinion. Another one of their lattes, The Minty Baby, is pretty distinctive from the typical boring vanilla latte. I'm usually not a fan of mint drinks or desserts (which I've always compared to swallowing toothpaste lol), but the vanilla and mint was an interesting combination here, and the mint wasn't too overpowering. So while I didn't love it, I didn't dislike it either. The Maple Matcha is a matcha latte with maple, pecan, and cinnamon. The barista described it as Christmas in a cup, but be warned the pecan flavor is strong. I had to ask for extra matcha afterwards to help balance out the flavor. The Savvvy's Special is a typical brown sugar latte. The Rosy Cheeks is a rose latte made from pink roses, so the flavor profile tasted more like rosewater than your standard sugary rose syrup. And the Lady Lavender is a lavender honey latte that is pretty subtle in taste. They also have a limited selection of teas and are able to make standard coffee drinks like Americanos, etc. So all in all, Savvvy's has alot to offer, with something for everyone! read more

We were actually Yelping for lunch places but Savvvy's popped up and we decided why not because I can always use a pastry and coffee. Saw a sign at the counter for Chagaccino. Mushroom coffee say what? I added a shot of espresso with oat milk and it was AMAZING! It was steamy, hot, creamy, and lightly sweetened. I'm not a big coffee connoisseur, but this tasted so delicious and gave me just enough caffeine. I added a matcha pistachio croissant and it was warmed up. Sooo good! They had a few tables inside and I saw some customers with laptops. The outside dining area is actually a shared spot for Edwin Mills across the alley so that was a little confusing. But I will definitely come back and get the Chagaccino again. read more

Pros: Tucked away down an alley off Colorado Blvd. -- it's a pleasant surprise. You enter and it's a beautiful, modern, and inviting space with seating decorated with colorful throw pillows. There is covered patio seating as well. The drink menu has some intriguing lattes as well as your usual coffee suspects, so you can stick to what you know or try something different and seemingly enticing. Cons: The peach cobbler and maple lattes were honestly too mellow in flavor. I hardly tasted any peach, and the maple latte was nothing special. Both lattes were smooth in texture, but tasted more like warm oat milk than anything else. As beautiful as the interior setting is, the bench seating is hard, uncushioned, and too high for the height of the tables. This is rather uncomfortable, and why most patrons choose to sit on the chairs, which are at the right height in relation to the tables. There was only one barista on a Tuesday afternoon. It wasn't busy, but the drinks did take some time. Had it been busier, having only one barista to make the drinks and play cashier can become very challenging. read more

It was my first time visiting this place and I loved the interior and coziness of this shop! There is a good amount of seats for anyone to sit and chat, and all the decor was really modern and fitting for an aesthetic coffee shop. This shop is also found in the alleyway, so it's not too hard to find if you're a Pasadena local. I saw that many people ordered the Maple Latte here, which I was a bit hesitant at first cause it sounded really sweet, but I ended up actually enjoying it a lot! I got my drink hot with "cow's milk", which it seemed like they had many milk options to offer, even "cbd milk" lol. My first sip of the drink was that it tasted like pie haha. I often don't get drinks that had cinnamon on it, but the first few sips reminded me of the cozy winter days. It wasn't that sweet nor bitter, but it had a great balance in between. I really enjoyed having this drink! I would definitely get it again :) read more

I haven't been to Old Town in a while so I went here thinking Cafe 86 was gnna be there but it wasn't I went to check this spot out anyways looking for a cafe to study at and this place was so pretty. The stylish decor added to the ambience of cafe. They also have very comfy seating area. There's also outdoor tables shared with the restaurant across the street. Love that they have lots of plugs for computers! This was my first time here so I went with a classic iced caramel latte. It didn't disappoint I loved it. They also have creative specialty drinks and seasonal drinks. I'd say the only downside was parking around the area and they don't have a public restroom. read more

I hesitated to go out for coffee on such hot saturday, but I am glade I did:) Located in an alley, the shop is easy to find. There's public parking near-by, only $1 for the first two hours, which is just crossed the main road, convenient. Based on other yelp pictures, I ordered the mint latte and my friend ordered the matcha latte. For picture perfect setting, I asked the drink to be in the mug, if not, I think they automatically serve you in disposable cup?:) Interior isn't as large as I thought, but very cozy, colorful, and stylish. This is a good place for working with free WiFi, or bring your girlfriend for a nice coffee break. The drink was good, a bit on the sweet side for me, and it was perfect for my friend! read more

Food - 3/5 I didn't try any food, however I ordered a vanilla latte and a strawberry matcha latte. I was confused about the menu on what the the difference was between Japanese style matcha vs regular matcha. For anyone that has/had the same question the difference is that their Japanese matcha is ceremonial grade vs not. The vanilla latte was subpar. It tasted more like water with a splash of coffee in milk. I didn't taste much of the vanilla either. The strawberry matcha latte was nice. Service - 4/5 As mentioned above, I ordered 2 drinks and of one of the two I did ask to have the "japanese style matcha" subbed in which they so kindly accommodated that request. Ambiance - 4/5 This spot is a vibe. I wouldn't guess from the outside it is a coffee shop. The atmosphere definitely comes off as a spot where the influences will come to shoot some photos for their socials. There seems to be lots of seating both inside and out. I'm not sure if this spot would be the best place to come and grab a coffee and work since I could imagine it being very loud, but it does seem like a cute place to come to grab a coffee to catch up with friends or take a break from shopping in Old Town. read more

The ambiance in here is perfect for studying because it is cozy and quiet. However, I was a bit disappointed in the things we ordered today. I got the Japanese style matcha after being told that was ceremonial matcha vs the regular matcha being culinary matcha. I had high expectations from the good reviews but my matcha was served to me light green, which was off-putting at first because in other photos, as well from previous experience with matcha, it was really light for ceremonial. When it came to taste, unfortunately my drink was just a cup of green milk, not a hint of matcha, which sucked because it was $8.28 total for, well milk. Someone else in my group ordered the strawberry blonde, a strawberry matcha, which also had a very artificial taste which we believed came from the vanilla? and still no matcha flavor. We actually stopped by to try the matcha pistachio croissant, and it was undeniably flakey and delicious but the pistachio flavor was a bit overwhelming. The star of the show today was the nutella croissant, which had a nice balance of nuttiness and richness from the chocolate, but also on a croissant with a filling similar to an almond croissant. Honestly, probably would not return for the matcha drinks but I'm sure their coffee is great! read more

I have to write this review in honor of the owner, who just so happens to be my cousin! Lol Of course, I must be fair and objective regarding this review. However, the coffee speaks for itself! It's great! The flavors have their own unique signature taste and the ambiance is peaceful & relaxing. I had the savvvy's special with the danish croissant! 10/10!!! Both were delicious! Parking isn't too difficult to find, it's down the alley from where the shop is located. The space is also convenient if you wanted to hang out with friends or do some work. read more

Savvys is a great place to grab a coffee. If you appreciate craft lattes with unique flavors this is a great place. I wouldn't recommend for espresso lovers as their strength is definitely in the sweetened coffee area. The service is amazing and this place is very thoughtfully designed. I wouldn't recommend this place for studying or work that requires deep focus. It is a great place for a coffee/brunch date or if you have some light work to do. read more

Worst coffee and matcha i've ever had. I told the girl i wanted oat milk, i paid for it and she gave me dairy milk. I saw her use it but she denied doing so, and i now have an allergic reaction to it. also asked for ICED latte and ICED matcha and there's three ice cubes in my drink. Awful. Girl with green hair doesn't know what she's doing read more

This place was a hit for me on the ambiance and a big miss on the coffee/pastries. The location in a cute alley, ample natural light, adorable dish ware, and great playlist make it a perfect place to post up with a book or laptop. But the lattes we ordered (specifically requested at half sweetness no less) were almost impossible to drink because all we could taste was the flavored syrup. I'm sure that's what some folks want...but I would not get another flavored drink here. The pastries were also a bummer -- they were heated but not flaky. My tomato mozzarella pastry was soft and mushy. Think 15 seconds in a microwave. My companion's ham/cheese croissant was globby and gelled together in the middle. Think frozen and thawed too quickly. In short, I wouldn't seek this spot out again. But I also wouldn't be mad to find myself there again to have a coffee only. read more

Hidden gem. Would give this place a 4.5 because it was really good. The peach latte was balanced with a subtle flavor of peach. The Americano is small but was very flavorful just needed more ice because most of it melted right away. The espresso was solid and I eventually turned it into another Americano after tasting it. I been to many places near this spot but never walked through the alley that leads to it but thanks to Yelp, found it, went there and was pleased by my first experience. We also tried the almond croissant, was also very good. The staff were very friendly and they have a nice decor/very vibrant shop. Will definitely want to go back. Upon first visit, it was better than most of the shops in the area, without all of the hype and fanfare. My sister wanted to go back the next day! Looking forward to the next experience read more

Idk what coffee beans they're using but whatever it is, it's high quality and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. It was my first time there. Friendly and speedy staff. I first ordered a Hazelnut Iced Latte and after I purchased it, I had instant regret because I wasn't trying anything new. I asked the employee if she was willing to change my order to an Iced Strawberry Blonde w/Coffee and told her that I'm happy to pay the difference. She said not to worry and my Iced Strawberry Latte would be ready within 5 min. I was nervous because Strawberries and Coffee didn't sound like they'd be good together but after my first sip, I realized that I had made a stellar choice! It tasted like heaven. I mean, it tasted like all your fav drinks together; Boba/Strawberry Milkshake/Coffee. My brain didn't even know how to interpret these flavors. Like wow! My sister had decided to order their drip coffee with half and half and even that basic of a drink was excellent. Ambiance was also super vibey and chill. If I lived there, I'd bring my laptop and work from there. Can't wait to go back! read more

Three stars is generous for this place. We were hoping for a nice café experience, but gotten something below Starbucks. The pastries were really good, but the coffee was really not. It looked like there was only one person working at the time, and she was often away from the counter, so we had to shout for attention. We were sitting in, but we weren't given real cups and plates, but paper bags and cups. read more

BEST LATTES I have come across in SoCal. I have been on a matcha kick this summer. But instead of ordering the Baby Blue Matcha I decided to go with their Peach Latte. I love fruit flavored lattes and you don't always find them at a java spot. My son orders the Matcha drink instead. The peach flavor came through beautifully. Omg, I was loving every single sip. My son offers me a taste from his. His eyes widen and his mouth gasp in horror...Mom, that is a very long sip you just took. Well, it's darn gooood!! Love the blueberry flavor that came through in my son's Iced Baby Blue Matcha Latte. I would have easily drank both by myself. The interior is inviting and gorgeous with lots of sunlight coming through the large windows. This coffee spot ranks #1 for me now thanks to my Rockstar Yelper, Leonard A., who knows the very best coffee spots all around L.A. Xiè Xiè Ni! XoXo read more
