    This is a cute little pop up style matcha and latte shop located in an inconspicuous doorway in Pasadena just north of the 210. As an avid match lover, our family had to try it out and we are always excited to see unique flavors on the menu. We tried out the baklava, blueberry pancake, and berry matcha lattes and all of them had pretty good flavors. The blueberry pancake seemed to standout amongst our three choices with fresh berry flavor and good sweetness level. The baklava was very maple forward and the berry was just fine. The matcha flavor isn't very strong as we would have preferred but it was quite good in comparison to many unique matcha lattes in the area. The shop itself has varying hours and seemed to be Tiktok based, with the employees referring to it when asked about their regular opening and closing times. The menu seems to also have seasonal flavors since a couple that we had seen online and were interested in we're not available. The store front needs a little more work, there's a cooler and some of their supplies visible to the customers, and the seating is limited so prepared to grab and go. But overall this is a cute spot and hopefully they have more consistent hours, and clear signage in the future.

    Banana pudding coffee

    From reading reviews, looks like this is a current pop-up in Pasadena. Was searching for spots for a quick meet-up that was also close to where I needed to get my smog test and Starlet appeared. I passed the entrance at first because there wasn't any signage so feels a little speakeasy-ish. Upon entering theres a large coffee bar and some minimal seating inside. They have some very unique flavor combinations which is fun to try! Any of their flavors can be made as a coffee or matcha. Each drink cost $7 before tax/tip. I will say, while the distinct flavoring was a little faint on both options the coffee and the latte itself tasted good. I would go for the coffee over matcha next time (I believe mine was pre-batched). Tried the Banana Pudding Latte and Baklava Matcha Latte and both not too sweet, but as mentioned a little light in the exact flavors, but still there.

    A really cute and upcoming cafe! We all got the banana matcha. I got half sweet with 2% but i personally thought it was still really sweet for my liking but all my friends enjoyed it. the quality of their matcha was good! not too bitter and made a good balance with the drinks! the service was also really nice and friendly! not much seating inside as the store itself is really small. Street parking only!

    A coffee/ matcha with sweet creams & sweet toppings to add to your caffeine! The outside doesn't have a sign or door. You'll have to locate a white building with address # 473 on it. Street parking was relatively easy to find on a weekend morning. Expect a grab-and-go environment with extremely minimal seating and tables. The interior is quite small. The serving station is essentially an indoor pop-up coffee cart. I ordered the matcha einspanner. It had a very creamy and consistent matcha taste. Overall, decent cup of iced matcha. Even with the adjustment, it was a bit sweet for me. I think this place would be great if you're looking for a sweet treat pick me up.

    Cocoa puff, biscoff, baklava

    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.

    einspanner espresso latte w/ oat milk & banana pudding matcha latte w/ oat milk!

    my boyfriend and i came to try out this spot today since we've only heard good things about it- it's definitely a small and quaint place since it's a pop-up, but had nice vibes nonetheless! my bf got an einspanner espresso latte w/ oat milk, while i got a banana pudding matcha latte w/ oat milk. we both loved our drinks!! my matcha was the perfect sweetness level and paired amazingly with the banana pudding layer we both agreed that we would definitely visit it again and look forward to the eventual grand opening!!

    The setup is a little unusual and feels a bit awkward, but I also understand they're a new business and respect these young women for starting something of their own. I was genuinely impressed by the baklava drink it was surprisingly delicious and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. I was a little disappointed that they no longer had the Coco Puffs drink since that's actually what I drove over to try, but I'm glad I gave the baklava drink a chance.

    Hot and new, Starlet Coffee has been the talk of Pasadena since they first opened. Specializing in matcha and espresso base drinks, their menu offer a unique twist on your favorites like blueberry pancakes, cookie butter, and coconut latte. Every day is different and I love how innovative the team is. I ordered the matcha coconut latte, Spanish latte with espresso, and cookie butter latte with espresso, and matcha blueberry pancake latte. It was hard to decide to obviously I had to get a bit of everything. It's not overly sweet and the cups are huge. The staff manage the line efficiently. Overall the drinks were remarkable and I'd come back. The parking available is streetside and the shop itself is almost a pop up cafe in an empty warehouse. There's not a ton of seating, leaving folks wait outside or along the warehouse hallway. This is a great spot for drinks to-go, not necessarily a cafe sit down area.

    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 was disappointed with my first visit. My chai was filled to the top with ice (see photo) and tasted mostly like milk, despite being described as very sweet. I understand iced drinks come with ice, but this felt like I paid for a cup of ice with very little actual beverage. The other issue was that my sister was told they were out of the cookie butter drink, but the customers behind us were able to order two of them. When we pointed this out, the staff apologized and made one for her, which we appreciated. I gave 2 stars because the situation was eventually corrected, but I expected a better experience given all the great reviews here and on TikTok.

    cookie butter matcha

    i've been to starlet about a dozen times and i can confidently say the cookie butter latte with espresso is my favorite! their espresso is smooth, and the syrups taste natural. the girls working are always sweet and super efficient at getting drinks out quickly. can't wait to see their fall menu!

    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!

    i am soo in love with starlet coffee that it has become apart of my routine. Every Thursday during my lunch i stop by starlet coffee to grab myself & my co workers yummy delicious lattes! when thursday rolls around it's "starlet thursday" , ahah! Both ladies are an absolute darling! so lovely & beautiful. I am really excited for their new menu however i do miss the coco puff latte. it was so good! It's nice that they switched up the menu though. they added banana pudding & einspanner with the option of espresso or matcha. i have tried both of their new drinks & both were absolutely delicious!!! the banana pudding matcha is absolutely top tier!!! i need a whole jug of that to go. please & thank youu. lol. I love the banana pudding just as much as I love their cookie butter. i hope the girls never get rid of the cookie butter on their menu. There isn't a coffee shop that I have found that makes the cookie butter cream top like the girls do. the service is always quick for me. Even though it gets busy i don't wait that long. However, i do miss when we were able to order online! it's was nice & convenient but it's okay. hopefully one day the girls bring that option back again! please continue being amazing!!

    Oh. My. GATO. This…read moreis a hidden treasure taco spot. I'm spoiled because I had some really great tacos down the street from my house growing up and so I know what good tacos taste like. I lived in East Los Angeles and couldn't find a taco spot that was this good. I've gone to Mexico. I've been in different parts of Mexico and Baja. I don't remember the food ever tasting this good. Tacos, the corner is run by a guy and a girl team. I don't know their names because this was my first time, but the service was on point. They're generous with their portions and salsa, and their green avocado salsa is so amazing. I got two Asada one chicken and one el pastor. I bought the chicken taco because when I try out a taco spot with good prices, I always get their chicken tacos because you can tell whether or not a spot is gonna be good or bad by the way they do their chicken. Chicken is a hard meat to cook, even if it's thigh meat. This chicken taco was so juicy. I was pleasantly surprised. They also have burritos and horchata. I'm also a connoisseur of Horchata. I know it's not hard to make, and sometimes people use just powdered stuff, and even if this was powdered, it was the good powdered stuff. lol As for the ambience, it is a street corner fast food, regular. If you need a bathroom, there's a park down the street that has a restroom if you wanna go to the bathroom or wash your hands. The portions were so big I could only eat two tacos, which says a lot about an establishment because if they skimp on the meat, you know. They also had I believe Jamaica. For the Pasadena Altadena area? The spot is on point. It's right by the ACTS thrift store and the 7-11, so this is gonna be my go to Friday spot because I usually go to the thrift store to buy flip items or look for tees. I found a Japanese inspired Darth Vader Star Wars shirt (and got half off because a kind man in the store who was talking to me couldn't find anything and had a 50% off coupon so score for me). I thought my luck had stopped there- but I'm happy to say I found a happy belly too. I will return again! Thank you Tacos the corner!

We're from San Diego and are able to cross the border within 10 minutes to get TJ tacos, so I am very picky when it comes to Mexican food. We were visiting and yelped a food place that opens late and this business popped up. I'm very glad we went! The Al pastor tacos here are marinated very well and come with a lot of meat! I finished all of my tacos and still had plenty of meat leftover on my plate to pick at. The tacos come bare and they have a table set up with different fixings for your tacos. The only negative I have about this business is they don't use real guacamole, it's an avocado salsa. Only 1 table and a few chairs, so we ate on top of the hood of our car. We really enjoyed our experience and if they used real guacamole, I would've given 5 stars.
