My coffee date - he's cute but kinda quiet lolll XD
Hannah S.

Cute new coffee shop in Old Town Pas with unique drinks, a sleek aesthetic, and a fun unicorn theme! Service was friendly and efficient. My rose latte was decent but I'd likely try one of their more unique drinks next time like the Unicorn Poop latte lol. The Rose Blossom Latte has rose black tea, espresso, and milk with a small amount of cream on top and some rose petals and green powder (not sure exactly what it was lol - it had no flavor). It had a nice rose flavor profile and the cream was slightly sweet. I got the drink at 50% sweetness which was perfect for me - I don't like a lot of sugar so I'd stick with this sweetness level. The rose petals were an issue for me - usually they're soft and velvety and I like them in my drinks. But these were sharp and tough and not really chewable. They didn't seem fresh and had no flavor - I wouldn't want these again. Based on all the previous photos I saw online and on Yelp I was expecting it to be a little more elaborately topped and was hoping for a cute marshmallow animal topper but I didn't see any of that. It was just a standard drink. I learned later through reading reviews that you have to ask for the marshmallow animal topper for an extra $1 - which I would've happily done but it isn't on their menu anywhere so I wasn't aware :( Prices are on par for the area and I think the drinks are good quality overall. The decor is cute with unicorn statues on the wall and nice window seating looking out onto a main street in old town - great for people watching! They also have some snacks and puddings available and a few croissant options on their menu. The shop has a main entrance with a small spray painted sign next to it - would be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it I think. There's also another entrance in a courtyard next to a hotpot restaurant. Both doors are covered in colorful painted smiley faces. There's metered street parking and several parking garages in the surrounding area and it's very walkable. I'd likely stop by again for some Unicorn Poop next time in meandering around Old Pas!

Caramel Latte. Yum. $5.59

If you're looking for fresh coffee & cozy vibes, you'll find it at this charming little shop in Old Town Pasadena. Incorporating an "East Tea Meets West Coffee" philosophy, Unicorn Coffee offers specialty coffee drinks and ceremonial grade matcha beverages. They also carry popular Chinese snacks. The vibe is welcoming and the décor provides plenty of photo opportunities. Smiley faces greet you at the entrance and the outside patio is adorned with purple & pink, which aligns with the Unicorn theme. I intended to treat myself to one of their signature Unicorn drinks, but it was cold & rainy and I wanted something warm instead of a beverage with ice. I ordered the Caramel Latte and soaked in the ambience while barista Bella prepared my beverage. She was genuinely nice, as was the man who took my order. A few minutes later I was on my way. My latte was just what I needed. Smooth & creamy with notes of expertly roasted coffee and hints of caramel. When the weather warms up, I'll be back for one of those iced fancy drinks. *Metered street parking or nearby lots.

If you wanna ride, then ride the white horse! Take a sip of their drinks and let the caffeine take its course! But first a little buzz kill B4 I start spittin my caffeine thrill. On a Saturday afternoon they ran out of the Number One which is the Corn Latte! Like WTF that's your best seller yo. Anyways I'll just let it go and let a Ho be a Ho. So instead I ordered the NO.2 which was the Unicorn Poop that came with a pretzel on top of a delicious cream top mixed with espresso. It was actually pretty good and it changed my mood but not the star. Next up was their Jasmine Blossom Latte. Ok this Shh was Fire! I rarely get floral drinks but this one blew me away with its subtle hint of Jasmine and that kick of espresso on the bottom. I'll definitely be back for that and explore more of their menu. The service was great and I'm gonna say if they're all trained like that then it's a go all the time. Limited seating and the parking is too unless you pay at the nearby garage for parking. And that's my take, Peace

Outside patio

Stopped by Unicorn Coffee in Pasadena the other day and loved it. Such a cute and bright spot on green st. I got the Unicorn Latte which was creamy and lightly sweet, and my friend got the unicorn poop which was just as good. The staff were so kind, and everything was really easy and chill. It's a smaller café and not much seating available inside, but there are a few chairs outside. It's perfect for a quick coffee and catching up with a friend. Definitely a happy little find!

Rose blossom & Unicorn lattes

#164 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Unicorn Coffee is a fairly new addition to Old Town Pasadena, and was opened by a popular Chinese social media influencer, Mr. Unicorn. I hadn't heard of him before but after looking him up online, I learned that Mr. Unicorn is known for wearing a signature unicorn costume head in all of his videos, and he has more than 50 million followers across various social media platforms. Strange, yes, but cool nonetheless. The shop itself is a creative space with giant unicorn heads on one wall illustrating the famous see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil proverb. The rest of the shop is charming and elegant, with modern wood benchlong tables and comfortable velvet cushion chairs, ambient lighting that gives the shop a warm glow, and a counter that is covered with wooden slat paneling, adding a nice contrast to the white fluted wall. The space has a nice contemporary aesthetic, other than the giant unicorn heads on one side. Lol. Outdoor seating on the side patio is also available. I've tried a few drinks so far. Their headliner drink is the unicorn latte, specially crafted with a house-made corn milk and corn cream top. Tell me why it took me so long to realize they chose the corn flavor to be their signature latte because it's LITERALLY in the name, uni-CORN. I facepalmed when it finally clicked. Haha. I also tried their Unicorn Poop latte since I found the name hilarious. They actually have a sign saying they know the name is ridiculous, but if unicorns poop, it probably smells like roses and tastes like magic. They definitely had me with that caption! The latte had a butter flavor with a hint of vanilla, and tasted a bit like popcorn. I didn't love this one, but I didn't hate it either. The last drink I tried was the Unicorn Blood, which is a sparkling grapefruit refresher with espresso. They even top the drink with popping candy that sparks like little fireworks in your mouth - so cool! All in all, there are some interesting and creative drinks here at Unicorn Coffee, and I can't wait to try the rest. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

Oolong peach milk tea - very milky
Anh N.

Ambiance is super cute, bright with instagramable decors. They have a few tables for sitting but it's a very small place. Staff were friendly and helped me decide on a drink. I got the oolong peach milk tea which isnt one of their top 8 drinks. The oolong and peach came through nicely but the dairy/milk was extra creamy and milky. If you like that then this is place is for you! For the price to size ration, it felt short for me. I'll try a different drink if there is a next time.

Friendly service and very unique coffee and tea drinks. New tea and coffee shop on Green St with nearby public parking lot on Green St/Fair Oaks Ave and De Lacey structures. There are some counter seatings and they may share some patio space with the hot pot restaurant next door. Definitely check out their special drinks such as Unicorn and peach tea latte. They will offer a drawing to their customers each month roundtrip tickets to Chongqing where the owners are from along with a 3 night hotel stay so people can experience Chinese culture through tourism. The shop sells Chinese snacks and coconut jelly too. They will have a cute unicorn tail to sprinkle sparkly sprinkles on your Unicorn Poop drink! The speciality drinks are very cute with animal marshmallows on top.

Peach Blossom Latte
Andrea M.

I stumbled across this new coffee shop located in Old Town, and wow I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed it! First off, it's an adorable little shop located off cozy Green St. There is some seating facing the avenue, which is great for people watching while enjoying your drink or just working out of. Secondly, I was completely stumped by what to order because of their unique menu. The team member at the front recommend the peach blossom latte and wow, it was so delicious! I was surprised at how much the tea and coffee both came through. It was smooth and not overly sweet. Everyone who worked there was so warm and friendly. I will definitely be back to try their other drinks!

Matcha Latte made with oat milk

Lately I've been into Matcha drinks. Today's Matcha Latte was tops The right balance of matcha flavor and creaminess, nicely refreshing.

Instagram : @yeapeats Just visited this adorable new coffee shop that recently opened in the old 3CAT location -- and wow, what a fun and unique vibe! The place is fully unicorn-themed, which definitely sets it apart from anything else in the area. It's colorful, whimsical, and totally Instagram-worthy. The staff and owners were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered the Unicorn Coffee -- a popcorn-flavored brew (yes, popcorn!) -- and it was surprisingly delicious. Bold, not watered down, and really hit the spot. Excited to come back soon and try more of their creative drinks!

Peach tea latte
Vicki C.

Cute cozy space tucked in Old Town on Green Street. If you want to try something unique, you can't go wrong with Unicorn Coffee, I mean you can literally spot unicorns! While unicorn poop and unicorn blood were tempting I opted for the peach tea latte which had an initial hit of peach, very subtle and not overpowering. Even though it was full sugar it was not very sweet which I liked.

Unicorn latte
Gia H.

Wonderful service and cute ambiance. Their unicorn latte is delicious in my first few sips. Personally I would add another espresso shot bc I like it strong! If you like yellow corn this is the drink for you. I tasted real bits of corn throughout the drink. It's indulgent and delicious. Their unicorn latte is a luxurious treat for sure!

Strawberry Matcha

Fun coffee shop that has fun drinks to try! I tried the Strawberry Matcha, and I liked that you could customize the sweetness level. Every shop make Strawberry Matchas different (whether they use jam, puree, or syrups) - so it's hard to gaze how sweet it will come out. I've had matchas that were so sweet because of the strawberry, to the point where I couldn't finish it. So I appreciate that the option to pick sweetness level exists.

Spanish latte and croissant.

One of the best scoops of Ice Cream I've had in a long time! I've had Kinrose Creamery on my list…read morefor a minute and was so happy after my wife and I got to try a scoop. They are located in Mills Alley in Pasadena just look for the bright red sign and signage promoting some flavors. We came by after having dinner. The staff greeted us as we walked in. It was empty when we initially arrived then more customers filtered in shortly after. Staff allowed to sample their unique flavor options. **To note, they offer a few vegan flavors for those with dietary restrictions**. Always a huge plus and positive! The flavors are middle eastern inspired and the details are all listed. My wife and I sampled 2 flavors and we both enjoyed our selections. The flavors are memorable. We happily decided on the Sesame Halve (vegan) & Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell (+$1.00) for myself. The presentation is one of a kind! The topping with the tiny little rose is a nice aesthetic and definitely their trademark. The location offers retro and colorful style seating for 10+ customers if I had to guess . Patio seats are also offered outside. Also, OG Pac-Man arcades are available inside. My wife loved her Sesame Halva and my Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell totally reminded me of a Dubai Chocolate type of vibe with each bite! The whole first time visit was positive and would make me want to come by again to try something else! Presentation on point! Flavors on point! Vibes good! Tummies happy! Come by and just try! Thanks, Kinrose Creamery! ( ^_^)b

When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections. It's a decent-sized shop with a few tables. Each table had a rose in a vase attached via velcro so you don't have to worry about tipping them over. The shop is also nicely decorated with wall art. It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.

We had to circle the area a few times to find street parking. It would be nice if they had a designated parking lot in addition to street parking because some of the businesses around there had that. There was seating inside despite the store being pretty small, so my bf and I just ate inside. The cakes were pretty good! I got the Matcha Yuzu and he got the Kinako Chestnut. I couldn't really taste the yuzu until I tried only the first layer of cream. The matcha overpowers the yuzu a lot because there was two layers of matcha cream and one layer of matcha cake. Still really good and can taste that the matcha is high quality! As for the kinako chestnut, we couldn't taste the chestnut much but there were some chestnut pieces hidden in the cake!

I wish there was a bit more seasoning or maybe something more than just egg in the egg salad-- it just felt like a lot of cream and egg. Also, the size of the sandwich felt a little small for $11. The space itself is alright, and staff were friendly! Parking was a bit hard to find, and I had to circle the block to get a spot a few minute walk away on the street. I'd consider coming back to try a warm sandwich or a latte, but I probably wouldn't get the egg salad sandwich again!

Un geste tout simple, mais tellement chaleureux et élégant. Ce genre d'accueil, ça ne s'oublie pas. Les serveurs et l'hôte sont tout aussi charmants, super accueillants, attentionnés, avec une belle énergie.

Je dois dire que c'est assez rare que je ressente une ambiance aussi chaleureuse dans un resto français. On se sent accueilli, un peu comme chez quelqu'un.
