Breakfast burritos are very tasty and filling - easily can be shared. Their tea selection is also great. Lattes are good as well and they had a large selection of alternative milks. Service was quick and the staff was helpful.

Really great coffee at Copa Vida. Didnt realize there was more room inside to either eat, or study, or just meet a friend :) I got 3 hot drinks a week ago and didnt know they had more than one syrup. I got one of each. Really enjoyed the Brown Sugar flavor. Went back again to grab another latte. I really wanted to sit down and enjoy my coffee but inside was a little crowded and the outside tables were also taken. maybe next time 😁 coffee is given in to go cups which is understandable

Terrific matcha latte. The caramelized onions on the Croque Madame was a nice touch. The chive pancake salad with avocado salad was ok

This place is delightful for breakfast. I came after the gym and wanted something relatively healthy. I was in the mood for a breakfast burrito but didnt want to feel guilty. I tried the veggie burrito and I recommend it as a lighter option. It is satisfying and the sauce accompaniment is delicious. Service is nice and gals are friendly. parking is very nearby in the Green Street parking lot and the first 90 minutes are free. This place is just across the street. I dined in and service was fast and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. I went on a Wednesday morning at about 9:30 a.m. so perhaps thats why it wasnt so busy. The space is open and very clean. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. Good breakfast spot.

The best coffee around Old Town for true coffee lovers. Breakfast burrito and avocado toast are yummy. As are the chilaquilles . Expresso is also served properly here.

Excellent coffee with a vibrant atmosphere. I’d go there to meet a friend over a cup of coffee

Excellent coffee - including the often hard to find decaf pour over (very good) - and stylish interior design. Being able to sit outside was much appreciated too. One of our favorite spots in Pasadena as we pass through.

The hot mocha was perfect. What I really liked about it is that it was not too sweet, the coffee and chocolate were both excellent quality. I loved the seed cookie.

Such a perfect place for a breakfast. Thank you for your delicious coffee and tasty salmon toast.

I got a flat white, iced, with oat milk. It was nutty and wonderful. I like the vibe of the place too.

We got a bacon and sausage burrito and it was delicious! The coffee was great.. i rate the cafe a 5 star place but, I give it a 4 star cause the parking there is horrible.

Great food. Excellent service and wonderful ambiance. I love their apricot tea.

Amazing coffee shop, with the most welcoming staff. Their fresh selection of coffee keeps me coming back.

Copa Vida is adorable and cozy! One of my new fave coffee shops and brunch spots!This place is great, on the weekends I love to come here for a delicious brunch meal, and on weekday evenings Ill often come up to Pasadena now and sip coffee and work on my laptop!The drinks here are delicious, I especially love the Apple Spiced Tea Latte! Such a unique and sweet flavor! The coffees here are all really good as well. If you come when theyre serving brunch, I loved the offerings. The plates come with generous portions, as well as a good amount of greens to keep it healthy. The eggs were nicely cooked just right and exactly the way I like it.The ambience inside is wonderful, its well lit and is very modern and slightly industrial feeling on one half of it, with the other half being more brightly lit. Whichever suits your preferences! A very relaxing place to come in the evening and get some work done in a cozy and comfortable environment.I love you Copa Vida! Ill be visiting you regularly from now on!

I come to copa vida once or twice a week and it’s always on point with the homemade custom made croissants muffins and best croquet madam I’ve ever had California… I highly recommend and it’s a great place to work on Buisness or schooling, hanging out with friends or just picking up to go. Come over and get a smile and almond croissant with some amazing lattes…

Great atmosphere to get some work done and enjoy great coffee. Baristas are very friendly and welcoming. My new fav go-to in Pasadena!

Lovely corner breakfast/brunch place. Easy relaxed atmosphere with great fresh food, coffees and teas. Self seating. Unpretentious. Order at counter and food is delivered to your table.

Fast fast fast. They were quick and the coffee is the bomb. I would recommend macaroons as well they have an idea and fruity pebbles,

Consistently good coffee solid breakfast items like the croque madam and good pastries. Street parking in Pasadena is always hit or miss so get there early. Service is always been great.

Me and my twin sister came here to try something new and I have to say the breakfast burritos are hands down one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had! I would recommend 100%.

Had the chilaquiles and it was so good. And a delicious oat milk mocha. Located right off of my favorite street in Pasadena (Green St). Great location and yummy food and coffee.

The best coffee shop and I can bring my cat here. I have visited this coffee shop several times and always enjoyed the coffee, and were always tempted by the selection of cakes. It is refreshing to be able to take the cat in who always gets masses of fuss from other customers and then sits quietly under the table. I strongly recommend this place for all coffee lovers!

Always a pleasure to visit. Food, decor, and workers are all seem like family.

I wanted to love this place, but the food is bland. The Vegan-chilaquiles were not good at all, I wish I could’ve received a refund. The tofu bowl on the other hand was good, I’d get it again. Overall this place is decent, next time I’ll just stick to my go-to which is the breakfast burrito. The service here from the waitress was great, the baristas aren’t very friendly.

Nice atmosphere. I had their iced coffee and garden of eden tea. Ill go back again.

Good place to eat a light n fresh breakfast.

This is a great coffee shop that does their own roasting and also brew amazing matcha tea. It is affordable and located in town with a ton of parking next to it! Definitely a great option whether you are a local native or tourist visiting. They handle lines quickly as well, assuring a fast in and out experience if needed!

This is always our must visit place whenever we are in the LA area. Both the coffee and food are delicious and its in a great location right near downtown Pasadena.The place has plenty of seating because of the backroom tables as well as a few outdoor places to sit as well. The primary reason we come here is for the coffee, but have been very impressed with their food options as well. Each dish is large enough to share so come with your friend if you dont have a huge appetite!By far, my favorite dish is the french toast. Probably the best dish on the menu although I also love the avocado toast (which is huge).Definitely check this place out if you want great coffee and great food before or after youve shopped your legs off in Pasadena.

A fun road trip stop with several interesting tea latte options. I got the mint brûlée latte and quite enjoyed it! Would order again or try another one of their tea lattes.In addition to the tea latte, I also got the pictured pastry — some sort of sweet bun filled with sweet cream. It was very well balanced and only lightly sweet, pillowy in texture, and a very unique/fun experience to eat. Would order again!Note that the “freddo” drink is essentially an espresso shot shaken with ice and sweetened. This drink initially attracted me to the location because I’ve really enjoyed freddos in Italy. However, in Italy the name means something different, as these drinks are dessert-like, frozen, creamy espresso (consistency of custard), served out of a unique machine.

This is a wonderful tea shop / coffee shop / cafe. Many choices of drinks for all palettes. Many mouth-watering choices of pastries and bakery items to choice from. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating or you can take your food and drinks to go.

Good coffee shop. Good pastries. A busy interview spot. Similar to Urth Cafe but smaller scale.

Nice place I like the breakfast and the seats, I had an Ethiopian pour over coffee it was very good. Also perfect location with close parking on the streetHighly recommend place

Mocha with oat milk.

The best coffee shop in the area despite strong competition all around. The beans are roasted with a light touch. Both the espresso and pour overs are well done by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The food is really good — well made and fresh — much better than what’s expected for a coffee shop. The only downside is the parking. There is 90 minute free parking next door. However, spots are sometimes hard to find. No WiFi on the weekends.

Great coffee and great food! I definitely was vibing tf out.

The vanilla lattes here are heavenly! They also serve genmaicha tea (green tea with popped brown rice) and tasty food! I recommend the breakfast burrito and french toast! And don’t let the long line stop you from going in, they’re pretty quick!

Great coffee shop with quick and delicious breakfast burritos. The service was great

Always have and always will love Copa Vida. Been coming to this location for years. I mostly get espresso drinks, baked goods, and brunchy items, and I love them all. Chorizo hash breakfast is so tasty. Friendly staff, open/modern atmosphere, yummy coffee. What more could you want??

Took a nice stroll from the Hilton Pasadena to grab some coffee and breakfast. Decided to go with the chorizo hash and runny egg. Delicious. The cold brew here is quite nice too. As are the croissants. Nice place to start the day.

Very nice place for breakfast and coffee.

Great casual atmosphere for studying. Great selection of coffee. Great for people watching

We got take out and it was delicious. Breakfast chicken bowl and bacon burriotto was our favorite.

Croque Madame with Kale Salad, Fresh OJ, Vanilla Latte, and a double shot.Because it’s a specialty coffee and tea house, expect to pay specialty prices. It’s not an everyday cafe spot but if you want good food and social media worthy photos this is your spot. Customer service was alright not over the top. Felt out of place since I didn’t immediately know what I wanted. Wasn’t pleased that I got an eye roll from my cashier when asking a few questions.

We had a meeting with artists friends in there. Very cozy place. From what Ive noticed many people are coming there to draw, study or work on whatever they need to have done. Tables are maybe little bit too close so if there is more people inside you have no intimacy at all. It got really crowded in the evening. I had Iced Americano and I was not really impressed. Didnt like the taste and it came in cheap looking plastic cup. Probably just a bad choice, hard to judge from one visit. Still very very nice place to go a chill with friends.

Great coffee and tea selections. Friendly service. Tea steeping apparatus was cool to watch. Food looked good, but we only came for beverages this time.

Great food, great coffee, good environment to work in

Super dreamy mocha! The staff were polite and chill. There is a lot of seating in the lovely atmosphere this cafe provides. Take walk around, if the weather permits. The area is pretty with lots of shops and places to explore.

Busy coffee shop with indoor and outdoor space, though it can be hard to find seating during prime time.

Excellent coffee, charming and accommodating staff. What more could you ask for?

Good coffee, fashionable place. Cozy and convenient.

Food and cappuccino are great but music is on FULL blast. Hard to sit there for very long.

The Mushroom Farro Bowl (seasonal item available in fall) is so delicious! I liked the Masala Chai Latte and the seasonal soups as well. And the Chorizo Egg Hash Burrito was pretty good too. All in all I dont think Ive anything I dont like here.

The great cafe in Pasadena I love.

Came here on a whim; excellent coffee latte, food smells and tastes delicious! (Ordered the croquet madame and the chorizo hash)

So so good. Employees were so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable

Great coffee. When at the pasadena convention center make sure you walk over and try! Waits can be long but coffee, pastries, and other food is great

Excellent breakfast and coffee (croque madame and chorizo scram). At 11am on a Sat morning the line wasnt very long either.

Great food, great bar, great staff.

Love their cold brew oat milk lattes and cortado. Their soyrizo scramble and chocolate croissants are both highly recommended.

Love the ginger turmeric latte! Add shot and iced!

Stopped by for coffee. Great atmosphere, excellent customer service. Too many varies to choose from.

Love this place, coffee is decent, plenty of sitting space, two rooms - one with more natural lighting, the other a bit darker.

Good coffee with a nice selection of drinks and food. Definitely would go back for their coffee but not for the ambiance.I went several times and its always busy and loud. I had an easy time finding a seat because I was alone but it was very hard to concentrate. Every time I went, they were playing loud music, and people were obviously speaking louder to hear each other resulting in an even louder environment. I dont understand how anyone can study or work here. Maybe better headphones would help, but the noise definitely got through mine.

Perfectly situated and decorated cafe with creative, seriously delicious food items and a lively atmosphere. Well rated for a reason.

Can you get an additional till to checkout people the line is insaneeeee

Nice lil place on corner easy local parking & my iced vanilla iced coffee was good but no fraps here. Baristas were nice.

A good selection of tea and breakfast items

Nice to sit outside the café

Really good avocado toast, ice americano and cappuccino. Spacious interior for people

Organic Milk 🥛 and high quality Matcha 🍵 Environment friendly with ceramic mugs!Great WiFi, lots of seating (though sometimes is full of students depending on time of semester) Parking is 90min free at the public lot across the street.

I ordered their chilaquiles and was surprised by how good they were. I think they got a bit soggy by the time everyone’s order was ready, but the flavor was there! 👌🏽 I also tried their seasonal Salted Cardamom Latte w/ oat milk. The drink was just ok. The espresso is good, though.

Creative, quality coffee

Service is awesome!

I thought all hope was lost, after consistently watered down grey water called coffee from you know where, then I stumbled across this joint. Excellent coffee and the baristas really known how to steam the milk! Will be sure to visit again

Great cafe, lots of seating, good desserts, and quality baristas.

This place is my favorite coffee shop in Pasadena. The coffee is really good and it has a very lively vibe (pre-covid of course).

Absolutely fantastic coffee. Killer Nitro Oat Milk Latte which is addictive. Treat yourself!

Good and friendly service. Plenty of seating and outlets as well if you are looking for a place to work. There are also a couple of tables outside so you can enjoy the weather and catch up with friends. Coffee tasted ok. The only drawback being that they don’t offer brevè.

Good place for breakfast/brunch.

My gf loves it here a lot

Here I am a fan of this institution, I like absolutely everything that is served here. Very beautiful presentation of food, and the tastes are incomparable. In general, I am delighted with this place.

The new fall/winter menu at Copa Vida is out and the Bruleed Grapefruit Avacado Toast is the 💣 A very nice balance between salty, sweet and hint of sour from the grapefruit

The tea lattes here are super tasty. 5/5

Chorizo hash and latte. Very good!

Pastries are good, but the service is terrible (barista talking with his friend and holding up the growing line) and the coffees are TINY and expensive.

Had the guava kombucha...too die for. Its a seasonal thing

Copa vida is one of my favorite cafe in pasadena and i really enjoyed the food and coffee.

Love this place, great food

The food is great

Copa Vida is more than a coffee shop. It’s a home. I’m a west side refugee in Pasadena quite often; my girlfriend lives out here and I find myself needing to kill time while avoiding traffic before she gets off work.Copa Vida has been my rock in this scenario, with decent WiFi, an all around dank drink menu including a chuggable iced matcha, a reliable americano, and a #squad of pour overs.Copa Vida won’t disappoint. I’ll see you here.

I mean... its nice... just very basic 🤷🏼‍♀️Its a hipster coffee shop

The quality of the coffee is quite good. Seems like each cup is made individually, made to order. It does take a little while longer than expected but its worth the slightly longer wait. Very refreshing especially on a hot day. You must visit once.

Very friendly staff and nice environment. I loved the nitro oat milk latte and avocado toast. Copa Vida is especially busy near lunch time. It is easier to find a place to sit if you come in the early morning.

One of the best coffee in the sgv

Delicious coffee in old town Pasadena.

Delicious!

Nice atmosphere to enjoy some coffee and a sweet treat while getting work done. I enjoyed the cold brew and vegan carrot cake! Easy to park nearby.

Excellent but expensive coffee. $5 for drip coffee. Their brunch menu is good too. One of the top 5 coffee places in old town Pasadena in my opinion

Americano isnt bad. Might lack a distinct flavor tho.Interior decors nice and there are about 6 outdoor tables.

Good cafe for having brunch and/or studying.The brunch menu is until 3pm, I had the salmon sandwich and i really liked it. They also have some good coffee.This cafe seems to be a popular place for students because I often saw a lot of people studying on their laptops.
