This cafe is on the corner by the South Pas library and it has a really laid back feel to it. The interior is light and cozy with fun art on the walls. The drinks here are good and there are a decent amount of food and pastry options. Lots of great seating inside and on the patio.

Nice neighborhood. Dog owners welcome! Came here on a Saturday where the street vendors and highschool band are present. Mediocre food and coffee-- not much of fresh coffee smell. & They got the order wrong,but with the pre-tip rules, there's really not much to do. I don't know if there's a restroom for guests, but a wheelchair may need to stay outside, because the double door is not automatic and only one side is open. There's seats outside.

I come here all the time to get my work done and it hasn’t failed me yet! I am obsessed with the cozy atmosphere, it literally looks like a coffee shop out of a Nancy Meyers movie. The coffee is great and made quickly and the staff seem to love working here- I see them hanging out even when they’re not working which in my opinion is a sign of a great coffee shop with great managers. I know this is a South Pas staple and for good reason- this coffee shop has been home to many workdays for me and I am grateful for such an amazing place to cozy up and get a nice drink.

Break my Marbles! Get ready this is gonna be slasher. Kaldi Coffee & Tea is a corner coffee shop in South Pasadena. They serve basic coffee, tea, specialty drinks and pastries. Interior design and layout were cool sleek and spacious, respectively. Atmosphere was nice with plenty of natural light. Young staff were nice. They have front outdoor seats for those who prefer some view. I had a Mint Iced Coffee and it's complete whoppers! If Sauron exists this drink is perfect for him and his minions. It's blithering pathetic drink; there was not a good balance of elements in this mint IC. Drink was not brewed smoothly, not refreshing, banal plastic cup, and on top of it über milky. All I had was a tiny sip and I quivered. And I knew that it was a subpar-mediocre iced coffee. The price does no

Dropped by to get some drinks. All the seats were taken and the interior has a very local, homey feel which I like.
