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.Parking: Free street parking with 2 hours limit. One way streets around the cafe and the nearby block; GPA is strongly recommended.

Not sure why this coffee shop has low stars on here. I visited two days in a row because I had a great experience. Staff was very polite and the Vietnamese ice coffee was excellent! Great location and plenty of seating. Will be coming here often. If you decide to work/study here bring your electronics charged I didn't see very many outlets.

Zen out in South Pasadena...You can drop in from the Subway Station a couple of blocks from here...2 hour parking in surrounding neighborhood for days...We're camped right outside the South Pasadena Library on Diamond Street...Feeling like a diamond in the rough...Everyone's so nice...Everything's so quiet here...I'll take a seat outside and watch the giant trees light up with the morning sun...And keep sipping on my dirty chai oat milk latte...Like I said...Tao of Kaldi vibeszzz

90's style coffee shop I've been coming to for a long time. Great atmosphere/location. Costco' muffins for 4.75. They probably bought 20 for 9.99 or something. 16oz coffee for 3.25 which you can't dress yourself. No sugar/milk/napkin bar. Seems to be what everyone is doing today, and is sadly becoming normalized. Who thought we would be spending a half hour's (min) wage on a medium coffee and a crappy muffin?

Coffee culture in Europe is quite different than the US. The unique American coffee Culture has been slowing down for post pandemic era. But those local coffee bars have been safe haven for Casual date to entrepreneurs and intellectuals to exchange innovative ideas at the coffeeshop. ( Sorry Not Sorry Starbucks).This one, it s more personalized and stylized. 'Venti is Twenty' - Elizabeth Banks and Paul Rudd. ( google it if you don't know). So I am not here about a cup of Venti or a cute barista, Saoirse Ronan ( Lady Bird). I'm here for cheer the heck up over 15 years of local coffee bar since Role Models film released. Back in the day, I was in Brooklyn and day dreaming of SoCal. Hey, no more watching Yankee game and working at the restaurant. For sure, someone would knock on my door with Dunkin' coffee in East Coast but I made it to California.The very same spot Paul Rudd asked a large black coffee. As of today, a barista who look like Rooney Mara asked me how would you take the coffee, I'd say, " A large Black Coffee, pls. "FYC: woman owned Kaldi Coffee & Tea at serendipity South Pasadena. Just right across the library. And massive chocolate croissants!

Best coffee in South Pas!! the espresso drinks are smooth and rich and the staff is super friendly. Also they have local art all over the walls which really brings together a community vibe. Skip the chains like Jones and La Monarca and check out this wonderful ma and pop cafe :)

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.

Located next to Pasadena library, this hidden gem has the best honey vanilla latte!It's absolutely phenomenal! The perfect combination of sweetness from the honey and the delightful aroma of vanilla make this latte a true treat for the taste buds. The baristas at Kaldi are always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive experience. If you're a fan of lattes, I highly recommend giving their honey vanilla latte a try. It's a sip of pure bliss!It's giving me cozy vibes too!Not all tables have outlets because I was thinking to come here to do some work.
