A home inspired coffee shop. This bright and modern coffee shop was dreamed up by coffee-culture loving architects Ryan Ramirez and Danah Mangahis – to be people-oriented, community-centered, and specialty-driven. “If you live in South Pas, get your coffee only from here,” reads an online review. The menu has something for everyone – from many espresso-based drinks to seasonal kombucha (loquat and jujube flavors!) to the popular “Marshmallow” (house vanilla syrup with milk). All coffee is from Brooklyn’s Gotham Coffee Roasters, and is perfectly complemented by Two Kids’ house made almond milk, which is crafted daily. Chocolate chip cookies are made in house, while a more extensive array of pastries is made by local Pasadena favorite, Seed Bakery. Breakfast favorites include burritos on the weekends, and toast with house made almond butter and house made granola with yogurt and seasonal jam, available daily.
