I came to their pop-up in Pasadena twice. Their cute marketing got me! But on a real note, the coffee/matcha is worth the trip. The girls at the counter are sweet and service is very quick. I got the blueberry pancake matcha the first time. Love my fruity matchas, it was perfectly sweet and refreshing. Stole a sip of the cookie butter latte from my mom. It's so delicious but definitely for people who have more of a sweet tooth. The Cocoa Puff Latte is also very good, not super chocolatey at first but once the cereal sits for a bit you get more of that classic cocoa puff taste. My second time around I got the cookie butter with matcha, WOW! It was such a nice flavor combo. I'm excited to try other drinks on their menu soon!

Strawberry shortcake matcha (limited time)

Marion S.

Matcha strawberry shortcake was so yum!!! I love that they don't charge for milk alternatives. The drink itself was not super sweet at all (they do not sweeten their matcha) but it was just the right amount for the drink. I loved how they added the strawberry shortcake bits, it was so unique! there is plenty of street parking! Check their instagram to see their schedule.

I stopped by on a Thursday around 10:45am and had no trouble finding street parking. There were a few people waiting outside and a short line when I arrived. The space is small with a few tables inside. Before I ordered, they let me know it would take about 20-25 minutes for drinks which I appreciated the heads up. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and it was really good! They have a loyalty card where your 10th drink is free! I will definitely be back!

I found Starlet Coffee through Facebook Marketplace and wanted to support a small local business. You can check their socials for more information on their schedule and where they will be located next. A lot of people are unsure where it's located (in the Pasadena location), but it's the first door right next to the garage with the address number 473. There's street parking. I tried the blueberry pancake matcha latte with oat milk and overall enjoyed it. The matcha was hand-whisked, and they clearly take their time handcrafting each order. Flavor-wise, the blueberry pancake syrup definitely carried the drink. It genuinely tasted like a blueberry pancake/muffin. However, the matcha taste was not as prominent. Texture-wise, the latte leaned more water-based than milk-based, which you could tell from the darker, more translucent color. I personally prefer a creamier matcha, but the flavor itself was enjoyable. I'd love to come back another time and give them another try!

Adriana G.

My sister and I love Starlet Coffee! Both times we have visited have been very great and we love staying updated on their pop up locations. I recommend ordering the blueberry matcha. The matcha is amazing quality and I love the blueberry flavor! (I'm so used to ordering strawberry matchas so I appreciate that they offer blueberry instead!) Service is very friendly always and the ambiance is casual, easy to order and pick up!

The inside is pretty unfinished with only 2 small tables. The drinks came out fairly quick (6 orders ahead of us). The drinks themselves are alright. Not the worst I've had but the matcha tastes a little similar to Starbucks matcha and my friend said the coffee latte was a little too sweet for her. Overall, the drinks are decent but I dont think i would go out of my way to come here.

The coffee did not disappoint and I cannot wait to grab another cup from here already! I really like the Cocoa Puff Latte. For those who think that the Disneyland one just tastes like chocolate milk, this one actually tastes like a latte so do not skip out on it! Would definitely come again!

Jenny N.

YUM!!! Absolutely loved my latte. I just discovered Starlet Coffee's pop-up cart in Pasadena, and I'm officially obsessed! The coffee is perfectly brewed, smooth, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to brighten my day. The pop-up cart is such a fun little experience. Definitely my new go-to for a quick caffeine fix

Coco Puff espresso latte with whole milk!

The coffee here is amazing the only thing i would suggest is better/earlier hours for your customers - try it for one week opening earlier!

If you drive by too fast, you may miss this cute little coffee shop on the corner of fair oaks and villa! There isn't much seating inside but the coffees are divine. We got the cold brew cocoa puff matcha latte and the blueberry latte and both were so delicious! The employees so kind and attentive! Definitely drop by and check them out.

Sweetest girlies making good coffee So fun having them at an event! They did have a lot of orders but definitely were able to pull it through, and the coffee was delicious

Celine K.

the quality of the matcha was good but i didn't really enjoy the blueberry syrup and it was hard to mix both drinks. overall i liked the cocoa puff one more, the wait after ordering also a bit long

I ordered 3 Spanish Lattes and it took around 30 minutes to get my order, so I would not recommend coming here if you are in a rush. The espresso was weak and slightly acidic. I wish they added more cinnamon and poured less milk. I understand that this is a small business, but there didn't seem to be any sense of urgency even though 10+ people were still waiting for their order. Also, they should write down people's names on the cup because multiple people ordered the same drink, so there was confusion on who should be taking it first.

Absolutely phenomenal coffee spot, serving super unique latte flavors. Street parking is available near the shop, and the shop itself is a little hidden inside an apartment like building. The service is super nice and accommodating, all the drinks are hand made and it's a very personal home cafe style spot. We ordered the biscoff latte, cocoa puff matcha latte, and baklava matcha latte. The biscoff latte was phenomenal! Not too sweet with a strong coffee flavor, and the cookies are perfect on top. The cocoa puffs were also excellent, both of the matcha lattes were super high quality and delicious. The cocoa puffs were the perfect addition to the matcha latte and looked great in photos too. The baklava has a unique pistachio flavor, also not too sweet and perfectly balanced. All of the drinks were super well made, with high quality ingredients. The creative concepts live up to their executions for sure! I highly recommend Starlet for excellent, creative lattes and cozy, intimate service and cafe. A nice and modern home cafe with delicious drinks! Can't wait to go back and try more of their seasonal flavors and rotating menu. read more

Found this place because I've been wanting the cocoa puff latte just like Disney. They offer unique flavors like Blueberry Pancake Latte and Baklava Latte. We got the cocoa puff latte and it was good. It literally is a latte topped with cocoa puffs but the base was good. Doesn't have a sour or bitter after taste! I like that I can adjust the sweetness too. They post their popup schedule on their tiktok. I shall be back again to try their unique flavors! Parking - plenty street parking! read more

Stopped on my way to a baseball game because of their strong reviews. We got a cortado and iced baklava latte and they were tasty. Not too strong. It was fairly busy when we got there and there wasn't much waiting room, but our drinks came out in a good amount of time. Why I am knocking it down in stars is the fact that I ordered it with oat milk (I'm lactose intolerant) and I don't know if they put regular milk or food safety was at play since all the milks were out during the rush , but it triggered all my symptoms in about 10 minutes. read more

Another week, another coffee shop! This time was the Pasadena pop up of Starlet Coffee. Found out about them through social media and wanted to give it a try for the longest time as everything looked bomb. The location offers lots of street parking and is hidden away in a shared building space. They are the first set-up once you walk in. When I went, it looked like they were still doing some light construction, but they made good use of the space that they did have. Only two tables for now as they are currently a pop up location, but don't let that knock you from coming to try. They have a small menu with what looks like monthly revolving drink options. I decided to go with the Spanish Latte iced. Honestly one of the best valued lattes in the area. For just 6 bucks, you get a bigger sized cup than most coffee shops and a phenomenal tasting drink. The drink itself was not too sweet but you still had the flavor of the condensed milk and cinnamon. To me one of the best well rounded lattes, and I'm excited to try what else they have to offer within the coming weeks. read more

i randomly stopped by starlet coffee on a random thursday afternoon during my lunch break. my co workers & myself were craving lattes & starlet coffee happens to be right down the street from my work. i discovered them on Yelp which was nice. they have street parking right across from them. when I walked in, i felt very awkward..so awkward i forgot how to order at a coffee shop. lol. when you open the door the first thing i seen was construction men building i guess their soon to be coffee shop & towards your right is where the ladies are standing behind the coffee bar. i also noticed across the room there was a barber shop which was pretty cool. the ladies were really nice but awkward. lol. since it was my first time i wasn't sure what to order but i knew we wanted those drinks with the coco puffs on top. it looks like the drinks from Disneyland which is what peaked our interested. my co workers got the coffee lattes w/ the coco puffs on top & i got the matcha latte w/ the coco puffs on top. waiting for the drinks wasn't long at all. i really enjoyed my matcha latte. it was lovely to drink & the coco puffs made the drink even better! my co workers said they loved their lattes as well! these girls are really doing their thang & keep going! i can't wait to see their coffee shop in their full complete form. they are open on certain days so i will try to catch them soon! read more

I'm grateful to have had Starlet Coffee at my first-ever wellness event as they brought next-level beverage service. From start to finish, they delivered! The setup was sleek and professional, and even though it was pouring rain outside, they pushed through without missing a beat. I heard from multiple guests that their matcha was some of the best they've ever had! High praise indeed. I tried the strawberry latte, and and wow, it was incredible. Sweet, creamy, flavorful, and exactly what I needed at that moment. Despite challenging weather conditions, the team was totally composed and carried the event with confidence. In short: if you're looking for a vendor that combines excellent product, strong service, and the ability to handle a rainy day with grace, Starlet Coffee is a win. Thank you for helping make the day even more memorable. read more

Been going to their pasadena location weekly since they opened 2 months ago and they've been consistently delicious. The Spanish latte is delicious, sweet but not too sweet and the espresso is always so smooth and strong. I watched them make the drinks and you can tell they put a lot of care into every single cup. Weekends are busier so expect to wait 20+ min but I think it's so worth the wait. read more

Danbi Coffee is easily one of the best cafés I've visited in Pasadena. As a matcha lover, I was…read moreimpressed by the quality and flavor of their matcha drinks--smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. Their dessert selection is just as impressive. The mango mousse and raspberry mousse were light, fresh, and full of flavor. One standout was their Ferrero-inspired chocolate dessert, which featured a rich hazelnut mousse filling and was beautifully presented. The freshly baked croissants were warm, flaky, buttery, and definitely worth trying. The café is clean, welcoming, and offers a great variety of coffee, matcha, pastries, and desserts. Staff is very friendly and helpful and are on top of everything.They get the orders out , really quick. Overall, a 10/10 experience, and I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Pasadena.

We got the mango matcha rain, banana cream matcha, and banana latte. For $7-8 per drink, you get a very SMALL sized cup, I believe it's a 12 oz. Although oat milk is the standard for the matcha drinks, the price for such a small cup was not worth it. For the drinks itself, not sure what kind of matcha powder they are using but it doesn't seem to be grade quality. The banana latte also tasted like milk. Interior wise, plenty of tables & seating. Great for a study spot with ample street parking. Overall, for the price, quality, and sizes, I unfortunately will not be returning.

Its a little bare bones, but perfectly serviceable. Music inside is maybe too loud for studying or work without earbuds, but ymmv. There is a small lot that they share with the Thai place next door, and there is sometimes also street parking.

Cute and quaint is the way I'd describe the vibes. With no more than 4 people allowed in the shop at once, there's almost always a line in front and seating is limited to a few out in the arcade courtyard. I usually like to take my drinks to go so I can grab a pain au chocolat at C.A.R down the street but sometimes I'll linger if a table opens up. They team up with different microbakeries on weekends to host popups, my fave being crumbs and flakes, so that keeps the pastry rotation interesting. My drink of choice now, having tried a few items off the menu, will forever be their gui hua (osmanthus) latte. No one can convince me otherwise. Everyone I know who has tried it, has loved it. While there are a ton of hyped coffee shops and cafes, this one is definitely not one of them.

They regularly sell out of certain croissants, and a line out the door is regular. Street parking is relatively easy, but be careful cus they're quick with the tickets here... Their espresso drinks are consistently very good. Good espresso, good flavors, etc. Tastes like you know exactly what went into it. Matcha latte - the matcha is beautiful. They hand whisk behind the bar and color is gorgeous. This is definitely one of their more expensive drinks to make, and price reflects. There's interior seating (and some outdoor), but it's usually noisy and bustling. Much better to socialize. I would take someone here to impress them, because it seems they're always in the business of impressing me.

I've had this place bookmarked for some time and this morning all the stars aligned. I got there…read moreabout 15-20 minutes before they opened and was third in line. By the time I was done ordering and had everything there was probably 20 people in line. So getting there a little early makes sense. I ordered 4 chocolate croissants, 3 Monkey Breads, 2 Kouign Amanns, and a partridge....sorry. Wrong song. 1 chocolate bar and a cappuccino. So far I've had a Kouign Amann and the cappuccino. The cappuccino may be the best I've ever had. I don't know what kind of coffee they use, but it was very smooth. That alone is worth the trip. AND, my barista did a cute milk art on top. The Kouign Amann was AMAZING. Layered and flaky I confess I ate the whole thing! I can't wait until I can try the other 2 things I've purchased. After all, the chocolate croissant was the primary reason for going. Now for the negatives: Management should figure out a way for more than one person to take orders and box them up. Even Mom & Pop donut shops often have multiple people taking orders. And Porto's has it down to a science. It would go a long way toward clearing the line faster. My second issue was the price. Quality is expensive. I get it. And I'm fortunate enough to be able to splurge for a treat like this. But with a small tip added to my total I spent just shy of $100! Not something I can do every week. But I would encourage you to save your nickels and check them out!

The place is small and intimate downstairs but also has an upstairs seating area. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in and they had a live cello player performing ! Customer service was also really good considering it was crowded. We ordered the affogato and the banana date latte. Both which were beyond phenomenal and we are coffee snobs. The banana date latte was giving very much smoothie vibes so not a strong coffee presence and very banana forward and well, I was in LOVE. The affogato was really good because the espresso was strong and had good flavor. 10/10 recommend and will be back when I am in the area. They also sale ice cream which we didn't try but is supposed to be good so if the coffee is any indication of how the ice cream will be, I think it's worth a try.

The coffee tasted like regular coffee I would get at a convenience store and nothing special. The Iced Coffee Rose ($7.45) was cold brew with a rose cream top. I requested it with light rose oat milk and light sugar. However, it still seemed too sweet. The rose cream top didn't taste floral at all. The coffee was nothing special so I definitely won't recommend. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my drinks and I felt like the drinks were overpriced so I won't recommend or return unfortunately.

I love Jameson coffee!…read more At most coffee shops, I usually order cold brew, but here I always go for an Americano. If you like fruity coffee or coffee with a strong bright acidity, I definitely recommend this place. That said, I can see how the flavor profile might not be for everyone, especially if you prefer a more traditional dark-roasted style coffee. The only downside is the parking. It's mostly street parking, and this place always seems to be busy, so finding a spot can be a bit difficult. Because of that, it's not always the easiest place for a quick coffee pickup.

Considering the quality that they have maintained, this is an exceptional achievement. This location has undergone a number of different physical and structural modifications over the years. What has stayed the same is the knowledgeable, friendly service of the staff. Their knowledge helps make this an incredible place to have a cup of great coffee or purchase fresh roasted coffee beans. I have tried many different combinations of coffees and roasting techniques.... Light medium or dark roast. Rose City blend ground for a drip coffee maker (cone filter) is my favorite. It's nice that they have bites that you can pair with your cup of coffee as you wait. The customers are often drinking coffee, on a laptop, or working on their phone. Great background music plays throughout the main area of the room. There are many customers that come in to pick up their order that they have placed over the phone. The staff here is always busy cleaning, preparing coffee, or helping customers. Depending upon the time that you are there you may have to wait for other customers to complete their order. I love that they have a selection of tables, and counter space. I've never had a long wait to find a place to sit. They also have a few tables located outside with umbrellas. Depending upon the time of day parking can be a problem. There is off street parking along Allen and other side streets. I highly recommend this Pasadena Gem!

Over the years, I've been incredibly honored, blessed and humbled to experience coffee in deeper way than most, locally having the experienced Thee Coffee GOATs/Royalty & LA Coffee Pioneers (Glanville & Babinski and the OG crew that includes but not limited to Jaymie Lao, Percy Ramirez, Brent Glanville, M'lissa, Sumi Ali, etc...and including so many more like Mike Phillips, Tyler Wells, Yeekai Lim, Leon Li, Frank La...I can go on and on), to which I am eternally grateful. Regrettably over the last 10 or so years, it has been my perception that much of the specialty coffee industry has: 1) capitulated to the taste buds of the casual coffee drinker (or the masses) and have abandoned their desire to change hearts and minds with education about a new wave of coffee drinking experience; 2) are shops owned and operated by people who are non coffee professionals (you know who you are!) and lack pedigree & experience. I get it. It's tiring and frustrating trying to help customers understand that what they are drinking is not "weak" coffee just because they "can't taste coffee." The masses & self-proclaimed coffee enthusiasts want "strong/bold" coffee but they themselves don't even understand what that means! Youngsters want to drink their iced lattes all the while pretending to be grown ups and/or be part of some trendy shop. they take 100s of pictures of the same latte and finally post one to their intriguing Instagram story. Why? Because trendy, duh! Thank God for Sherry Gao and the undeniably talented team at Mandarin & Mandarin 2. THESE KIDS ARE BONAFIDE COFFEE PROFESSIONALS!!!! They have phenomenal coffee pedigree! If you are familiar with my senseless ramblings, or so-called "reviews", you will notice that this one lacks my customary per item ratings and elaboration. This is intentional. Considering the subject matter of coffee, I simply cannot and will not write about "how good this latte is", etc. With all due respect, I drink spro, and almost always only spros at shops that actually know what they are doing (with an occasional deviation of a spro & some milk or something else interesting to my palate at the moment). So yeah, if you must know, Mandarin 2 is THEE PLACE for coffee. And to all the iced latte experts, please do spare us your expert opinion on coffee.

Each business has a right to run it the way they want but be warned that you kind of have to commit to trying something you may not like. This place gives an either you like our drinks or just don't come back type of vibe. They don't really seem to care about appeasing you. Do with that information what you will.
