iced matcha latte
Jessica G.

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!

Blueberry pancake matcha latte
Queenie N.

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!

Blueberry Matcha
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!

Matcha + coffee cocoa puff latte
Kelly T.

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.

Coco Puff espresso latte with whole milk!
Rene D.

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.

Spanish Latte
David H.

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.

blueberry pancake matcha and cocoa puff
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 forgot what I got lol I told them to surprise me
Seda N.

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

Ashley C.

If you haven't tried Starlet yet you are missing out!! This is some of the best matcha I've had - I'm so glad they are officially staying in Pasadena. I've tried the baklava latte, blueberry pancake latte, strawberry shortcake matcha & strawberry matcha. Nothing disappointed! They have a ton of great options you seriously can't go wrong with anything

Spanish Latte

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.

Cookie butter latte + Cocopuff Latte
Arpa B.

Such a new cute place- Can't wait to see it finished. Wait was definitely long, approx 30 min from order to getting our drinks!! so be prepared to wait. drinks were amazing- get the cookie butter or coco puff latte for sure

Brianna A.

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!

See all

I'm assuming because it isn't near the shopping areas of downtown, so it's not quite as bad. They have a designated parking area in the back of the coffee shop, but you can easily find parking on the street. We came on a Sunday morning and noticed all the seats being taken up inside. They have seats lined on the exterior of the perimeter of the store, too. The AC was blasting when we came, matching the cold, rainy temperature outside... we actually didn't end up staying here for long due to the that. When we were in line, we were able to peruse the merchandise that they had for display. Shirts, snacks, or drinkware. We also decided what items we had wanted from their menu. I was quite disappointed that they discontinued their mochi drink. I ended up getting their banana latte and my fiancé ordered their coffee coffee latte. We also ordered their beautiful dessert. Their banana latte was good but it truly tasted like an overripe banana; the type you put in your freezer to save for banana bread. I didn't quite like it. It was also topped with toffee bits, which gave the drink a new appeal. I think I preferred my fiancé's drink over mine. We ordered their Tropical Fruit dessert as well, which reminded me of the viral pastries I would see influencers eat. It had a crunch exterior made of chocolate with real mango chunks inside. It was mixed with passion fruit mousse and coconut crunch and sponge, like an almond joy bar. It was delicious but quite expensive to purchase. I'd love to try their other ones such as the Dubai chocolate one or their raspberry. Overall, the experience was quite decent. Their workers are very stressed and fixated on pumping out the drinks at a fast rate. I'd come back if I'm ever in the area, to try other drinks they have alongside their desserts.

There's free 90 minute parking behind the structure. However, the room capacity of 4 people does make for a longer line than most other coffee shops. The interior is very classy, tastefully decorated and the baristas are very friendly! All their specialty espresso drinks are double shots. Their top sellers are their Toasty (a milk tea latte), Vienna Latte, and Matcha Latte. Almond and oat milk substitutions are free of charge! I opted for their matcha (iced & sweetened, with oat milk) this time for the lower caffeine amount, and for the price point ($7.25) I think this was an average drink. The drink is a little gritty and not too sweet (which I prefer), but for better quality matcha at the same price point, I would go elsewhere. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks!

The main reason I'm giving this recent visit two stars is because of the service. I walked into the store about five minutes after the app notified me that my drinks were ready and specifically told me to check in with "Luz," our barista. So I walked over and politely asked about my order. She responded with a facial expression that closely resembled disgust--as if she was silently asking why I was even speaking to her--and said, "We're working on it," with a frown. ...Okay. After our drinks finally came out, she placed them on the counter, called my name, and immediately walked away. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I remember, Philz Coffee baristas usually ask customers to taste their drinks and let them know if the flavor needs to be adjusted. That's kind of part of the experience. Unfortunately, I didn't get that opportunity because she disappeared before I could say anything. To make things worse, all of the sweetness levels were off. I ordered three drinks - the drink that was supposed to be "sweet and creamy" wasn't sweet enough, the one that was supposed to have "light sugar" was somehow too sweet, and the last drink wasn't sweet at all--it was just bitter. At that point, between the attitude and the inconsistent drinks, it just wasn't worth the hassle. Sadly, I most likely won't be returning to this location. I had already taken a break from coming here, and this visit pretty much confirmed why. I'll continue making the drive to the Philz Coffee in Glendale instead, where the drinks are consistently good and the experience is much better. This location, unfortunately, just isn't it.
