Super flavorful beans. Ethiopian blend was a solid selection. True to flavor profile. 10/10 would buy again. Wish they sold larger sizes.

This coffee shop offers excellent lighting as well as a warm and soothing ambiance. The coffee is really delicious and reasonably priced. There is lots of sitting both inside and outside, as well as a comfy bench. Both workers are kind and attentive to my requirements. They take such good care of me that I am very happy. This excellent coffee establishment is highly recommended.

Simply fantastic! The high ceiling and natural sunlight make the entire shop a pleasant environment. The ambiance is inviting, and its a great location to hang out and relax by yourself or with others. I also enjoy their coffee and cuisine. The owner and employees are really concerned about their customers well-being. They truly wowed me the entire time. It comes highly recommended!

For me, this is the best place to have some coffee. The ambiance is really great, the customer service is top-notch, and all the staff was very accommodating. The coffee and cookies were a little bit pricey but once you taste it, you will understand why. I would definitely come back here soon with all my friends and workmates. Highly recommended!

A perfect spot to hang out! Every time I visit this coffee shop, it provides me with a different form of comfort. Im such an immense fan of their icy mocha. It is really worth visiting this place alone or with your friends and family. No one can beat their outstanding service to clients, decent coffee, and competitive rates. Highly advised!

Great place to study and relaxed! The coffee and foods were tasty and very good. Besides, the waiters that entertained my order was very friendly, kind, and accurate. He properly served my order leaving the word to enjoy. In my whole life, I greatly loved this place, for it was clean, stylish, and quiet. Overall, this place was very good to visit again and again. Thank you!

So I decided to go to your cafe to do it there. I had a whole lot of paperwork to do. The atmosphere was so relaxing and calm. Your coffee and cakes taste so delicious and pleasant. In your magnificent shop, I liked doing my work. This place was also very convenient to visit. Thumbs up! Thumbs up!

I adore your coffee shop! Cakes, tea, and coffee are available. Ive been to your business several times, but youve never failed to modify my perceptions of your outstanding services, guys. Your employees were also very pleasant and knowledgeable. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful service. Im just going to tell everyone about it!

Very accommodating staves and affordable coffee are in this coffee shop! A week ago, I came here to try your coffee and muffins. I was feeling delighted when your staff served my order quickly. Five stars for the excellent service! You expect me to recommend your coffee shop to everyone! Thanks much!

They have great coffee and great sandwiches for bagels, and the service is fast! Ive been here a couple of times, and theyre consistent with the flavor of their coffee, their bagels. They had the friendliest and most welcoming workers I have ever met. I highly recommended their latte, and this coffee shop is a must-visit!

I came to this coffee shop to do some online work and found it to be a fantastic environment with a nice strong wifi connection. I had a great time there because I was so active and competitive at the time. The coffee was good, and it went well with the food. Ill probably return in the future to try some of the other interesting-sounding items on the menu.

We could say that they have expertise in combining the flavors for the taste is great. Just like what we had last Saturday. We ordered our favorite coffee and desserts. The taste was amazing for it was the desired taste we wanted to. Thus, we would like to thank all of you! We will recommend this place as well!

Very nice coffee shop with nice baristas. The choice is a bit limited but it could be the time of day I was there. The place is spacious and very clean. The coffee is good but a bit on the light taste.

Great coffee. Excellent chocolate to pair with the great coffee. Plus delicious pastries to boot.Fun little place. My girlfriend said she wanted coffee, so I told her, Lets go! I know just the place. It was a little bit of a drive to get here but it was worth it. I had Blue Bottle Coffee before, but it was her first time. She loved it.

My husband and I stopped in for a coffee and sat inside. The coffee shop is super quaint with lots of locals that are regulars. The coffee was very good and so was the service! Their desserts are masterpieces and incredible. We will definitely return on our next trip and recommend the coffee shop to my friends.

I recently had lunch with my dad. Meat eaters and vegetarians alike ordered a variety of dishes. I must admit that we all enjoyed our meals. I ended with a cup of coffee and a delicious slice of cake, as well as beautiful food and excellent service from the professional workers. The space upstairs was perfect for a conversation over a cup of tea. Thank you so much!

The flavor of a morning coffee was comforting and exciting that was the reason why I dont miss drinking coffee every day. I always choose this place too for its cozy and the design theme is appealing especially if you like taking a photo for Instagram. The bartender was very cool and responsive! This is an ideal place for me!

Review №23

One of the best coffee shops ever! The coffee was extraordinary, probably the best I had in this area, always fresh and delicious, served at a reasonable price with the best ambiance. I could work on my laptop and enjoy a decent hot coffee. I will surely recommend this place if you are around!

Well be back, and well tell you about the coffee shop! We took a stroll around the neighborhood and decided to take a break. In a laid-back and relaxed college town, it tends to be a typical coffee and snack shop. The coffee is excellent; they have been roasting it for the past ten years.

I love Blue Bottle Coffee. Great airy space, lots of cool products, amazing coffee. This location the order and check out area is a bit muddled and confusing.

Review №26

They get it right every time. It’s like every barista is obsessed with coffee. I only want to spend money and go somewhere where they are obsessed with quality. Good job to every one at Blue Bottle.Money well spent - that is coming from a person that never goes out. Only if it’s superior i will.I ordered a mocha today. Again, CONSISTENT perfection. Last time I had blue bottle I went to the Santa Monica location and my drink was heavenly. I’m so glad I go to any location and get that little piece of heaven every time.

With two friends, I visited the area. I asked some locals for a recommendation and was led to this shop for a good coffee. The dark chocolate mocha hit the spot and it was delicious for breakfast! They have anything from breakfast to dinner and if you are not sure what you want, the regular specials are a great choice.

Review №32

Okay before I go into anything, can we talk about their playlist real quick? It is ON FREAKIN POINT! Its all super chill R&B, playing softly in the background.I came here on a Tuesday morning around 9:30am and there were tons of street parking (2-hour limit). This cafe is relatively small but they do have about 8 tables inside plus some patio seating.+ Pasadena rose latte: I originally ordered this less sweet but they recommended getting it with regular sweetness since the drink itself is very light. I was told that if I dont like it, theyll be more than happy to make me a new one. The latte had a subtle but nice rose aroma to it, not overly sweet with rose syrup.+ Chocolate croissant: Wow, this croissant was deliciously flaky. The dark chocolate wasnt too overpowering and complimented the croissant very well.Overall, this is a cute little place to get some work done or chitchat over coffee.

This is truly a lovely place to get some coffee. This place really well-deserved more than five-star ratings. Everything from their staff, interior designs, and even the services were exceptional.

This place is a modern, bright and lively light airy space. You’ll be drawn in by the coffee, but soon realize the food menu is what will also keep you coming back. Some brilliantly innovative drinks on the menu for those looking for some variety. We really enjoyed our time here with my friends. Well be coming back here soon.

Really good coffee. The cafe is pretty small but great for take out. They have small food offerings (waffles, sandwich, etc). If you are like me and cannot drink black coffee but want to save on calories, try their iced coffee! Taste more like a latte but low calories!

Not a lot of space to hang out inside but the neighborhood was cool, cold brew was great, specifically the New Orleans. Also the cappuccino was likely the best Ive ever had. Waffle with chocolate was really delicious but I wouldnt expect to have any kind of full meal on offer here.

Review №55

Soooo I’ve been designing all night at SewFyi just around the corner, and decided I needed a cup of joe in the early am hrs. I will admit.... I’m a Starbucks girl, but I’m open to exploring cute coffee shops when available. This particular shop was 0.1 miles and 3 min walk, so I decided to try. Aesthetically, the place is absolutely beautiful! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming in a very industrial/artistic way. I walked in and waited in line (only 1 other customer in front of me). The energy seemed to be a little off ( although very empty, no one greeted me). As a customer, that icebreaker greet is everything... especially on a first time visit. I waited patiently in line and then a very lovely young lady (with green hair) took my order. I’m a regular roast coffee type of girl, but this shop has specific seasonal flavors that are hand brewed. She explained the flavors and their process of brewing coffee which I really appreciated. I slid over to the register to check out and here’s where Blue Bottle Coffee looses 2 stars. The cashier (brown bun with glasses) took some time to get to the register which is No biggie because that gave me a moment to capture some flicks of the very cool environment. When she finally arrived to the register, she came with a bit of an attitude. (Which I didn’t really understand, because she seemed pretty joyful with the customer ahead of me) I checked out and had a seat at the bar facing the brewing stations. Once again, beautiful views so I proceeded to capture some more content. I then noticed her rolling her eyes, as if she was annoyed by my presence. I decided to stop taking flicks and have a seat. A pretty kind guy with curly hair called me to get my coffee, and I realize that there was 0 cream in the canister. I informed him and he happily refilled the canister and handed it back. As I proceed to pour the cream, I realize there’s not much room for cream at all. ( I like my coffee light tan in color... my Starbucks order is tall in a grande cup to leave room). I asked the curly haired guy if I could have a larger cup for room for cream, and he told me they only have 1 size cups. I observed a larger size cup across the room and told him that cup will work fine. As he’s headed to grab the larger cup for me, the brown bun cashier jumps into the conversation and forcefully tells him to “stop, those cups are for cold drinks”. He stopped dead in his tracks, I’m still standing there with a small cup and no room for my cream. She gives no other options to help me and proceeds back to check out the customer in front of her. (As if my issue wasn’t a concern). At this point, I just wanted a refund. Between rude customer service, weird flavors, limited cream and tiny cups... I had had enough! Unfortunately, I didn’t have the energy, so I just asked the curly hair guy for another small cup. I proceeded to split my coffee into two cups to make a blend to my liking. Worst part of all.... the coffee tasted extremely average! I mean Mc Donald’s probably has a better blend of coffee (in my opinion). So here I am having my weak coffee in a stunning environment with a poker face as I write this review. I’ll definitely be sourcing a local Starbucks tomorrow.Update : Omg!!!! And no outlets!

Blue Bottle Coffee is such a cute LA cafe. Ive really only gotten coffee here, but the ambiance is just perfect every time. I dont know if they attract the right crowd or its just magical timing on my part, but nobody is ever being annoyingly loud and the line is never TOO long. I consider this an amazing feat.

This place is great. I love the ambience of it for sure. Just like all coffee shops though, there are a ton of students doing homework and what not. As a student myself, I had to wait a little bit to get a spot and start doing work. Its not a big deal though. But that goes to show you, how popular this place is.

Awesome place thats very open and has great customer service! Ill happily come back for more good coffee. I had an espresso and a drip coffee and both were excellent. Espresso came with sparkling water to provide some contrast between espresso sips, too. Super cool.Copper bar around the working area that I appreciated. Very transparent location. They roast coffee beans here, too.I was also introduced to this small bottle of apple juice from France that I think was called Cloudy Coxs apple juice and it was a tiny container of childlike joy.Check it out!

Amazing coffee! I usually get their hot latte but if youre looking for something a little bit rich, their mocha latte is great too.

Hands down my favorite coffee spot in the valley. They have so many flavor options. The employees are always friendly and the service is fast.

Oat Milk Cappuccino is very smooth and well worth it. I’ve been here twice and coffee has been great. If you can come during the week it’s a lot less crowded than showing up on a Sunday afternoon. Parking is 2$ if you can snag the “reserved for blue bottle” parking spots right behind the shop. Machine takes cards and cash.
