WHY The best latte on the eastside, great house-roasted beans and free WiFi.

WHAT Newly relocated to a larger building with more parking, Pasadena’s premier coffee roaster has a globe-hopping selection of roasted beans (including organic choices) as well as green beans for home-roasting and offerings from the proprietors’ Guatemalan coffee plantation. And the espresso drinks are exquisitely crafted. Extras include baked goods from Euro Pane and homemade cookies and, on Fridays, tamales.

WHO Writers, moms, artists, Caltech and Art Center profs and students, Huntington docs… everyone who’s anyone in Pasadena.
