First visit but def won't be our last. Cute little place, nice staff and great coffee and pastries. We will def be back.

Spring menu

Cute small spot for a quick coffee and bite. Nice staff. Slightly quiet ambience. Variety of drink options.

Cute little house

While in Houston we were looking for a good coffee place. I don't to Starbucks unless I am in a bind. My husband came across this cute little place around the area of our hotel in Pasadena. It's situated in a neighborhood and it looks like a regular house . It has plenty of parking and nice little tables to sit outside and plenty of seating inside. My husband ordered a vanilla latte and I went with what the barista suggested, it was a brown sugar drink and it was delicious!!!! Just what I needed. They also have lots of delicious pastries we ordered the coffee cake and it was so good. It was such a great little gem to find. If I am ever in that area I hope o can visit it again.

Grabbed a breakfast sandwich and taco. Both were a bit soggy and needed hot sauce for flavor. Reasonably priced, great service, and room for seating with a few people studying.

We love this little coffee shop! It's a fun change from the other more fast paced places. Every pastry we have tried has been delicious but the lemon poppyseed is a must. The drinks are always made with care and amazing. They do have a drive through but we always like to go inside for a bit. They offer outdoor seating which is perfect for a beautiful sunny day. Definitely get there early because their parking is limited and it always fills up quickly! The coffee and muffin were both mother-in-law approved so you know it's good! I'm taking my sticky note for the goal board next time!

Great coffee house! Loved the iced vanilla latte, tasty breakfast burrito, and the coffee flight is a must-try--plus amazing service, 10/10!

We were really impressed by this coffee shop. My lavender honey latte was delicious! The tacos were tasty and the pastries were fresh and made with care. It is definitely worth the drive if you live outside of Pasadena.

Dropped by after enjoying brunch at Pine Street Cafe at Silver Sycamore because I wanted the full experience. LOVED this little cozy coffee shop and I'm jealous of the residents that live right across the street because how cool is that? You can walk over any time and enjoy the space, the hot coffee and walk right back over. The life. I order the Cinnamon Almond Delight hot and it was perfect for me. I don't like my coffee too sweet and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. Too good! My man ordered the special drink they were promoting: the Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Oatmilk Latte iced and he loved it as well. He enjoys his coffee sweeter so he requested 2 extra pumps of the good stuff to have it to his liking. The shop itself was packed, people with their laptops enjoying their hot brew. Typical coffee shop things, but the part that stood out the most was the sticky note wall designated for customers dreams and goals they'd like to achieve. What a great idea to bring the community together, loved that. Look forward to trying more items on the menu and maybe enjoying one of the books they have stacked on the fireplace. Must visit this neighborhood gem!

Super cute little coffee shop but the customer service and coffee/flavor quality are lacking. I splurged on a coffee flight, latte and a pastry. Density of the donut was yuck. It'd been different if it was a "protein" or "Keto" one-then I'd understand to expect that. The staff wasn't very knowledgeable. I watched them both mess up orders (but w/e we are all human). They were t very personable. Kinda clueless rather and not the barista service I'd expect. I showed them several pictures of items from yelp and neither could make them. Kinda disappointed, and even though they're the same owner, if I was in this area again, I'd just go across the street.

Great little place with good coffee. They offer coffee in mugs which is a plus for me. It is small with a couple of tables inside but there is also an outside seating area if the weather nice. Service was good and they were friendly. Not really loungy but good place to set up a laptop or have a bible study.

Coffee!

Great vibes, great coffee, and great food! This is a cute little spot to bring a computer or have a coffee chat! There are not too many table if it is busy though. The coffee tastes great! I love the roaster that they use, Amaya Coffee. They even have a few house blends! I wish they had more wall plugs, but other than that- the perfect spot!

They told me not to touch the pastries.... The signs were NOT helpful

They didn't have any savory breakfast without pork. Food is good they just don't have a lot of variety. Pastries were tasty and affordable BUT you can't look at them up close. They have signs that said "do not touch" but they weren't in the best spots so it let to an awkward encounter. Overall it's a cute spot with good coffee and pastries but because of the food limitations not everyone is able to enjoy a meal here.

See all

While the coffee and treats are great, I feel a very positive spiritual presence here ... all is better by coming in.

Mazapan latte - 8/10 - Tasted just like the marzipan peanut candy, best for those who like a…read moresweet/nutty flavor in their coffee Horchata latte - 8.5/10 - On the sweeter side, i liked the cinnamony taste Tiramisu latte - 8/10 - Good balance of sweet and strong but im not sure i loved the flavor compared to other tiramisu lattes ive had Truffle burrata toast - 9.5/10 - Delicious and had a lot of flavor, cheese was smooth and creamy Peanut butter banana croffle - 9/10 - Croffle was so good and i loved the crunch on top, but just had a little too much peanut butter I really liked the food items that we tried here and the coffee was decent as well. I liked their foams but just wasnt a fan of the flavors personally. Overall a good spot if youre in the area!

I've been a few times. This place has a lot of potential and it's a cool little spot inside…read more(getting small because it's been a lot more crowded). Few things: - Croffles are great the few times I've tried them. -Empanadas: They've been great but the server/barista has forgotten to put the dipping sauces 3/4 times when I've been. - Matcha: Drinks are hit or miss. One day the matcha drink is good, and then the next day it's way too sweet and watery. Not sure if it's the process, the barista, or the ingredients that's not consistent. - Other coffee drinks: way too much sugar and too sweet in my opinion. - Service: Baristas are nice but some of them are missing orders and laughing/joking with each other a lot. One time I went, a lady walked in and went to the back where the baristas were working and she was laughing and dancing everywhere and gossiping with the baristas. I think it's a main reason the service takes a long time and the orders get missed as well. I want to see this place really succeed, but definitely some kinks to work out.
