Copa Vida

This is a pretty great place and totally filled the "fancy coffee shop void" in this particular old town stretch. (and perfectly located, if you are waiting for your car at Eco Car Wash )

My absolute favorite coffee place in Pasadena!! They have GREAT coffee and provide excellent pastries , as well as great bites like salads , sandwiches and weekend brunch items. So delicious.

I think this may have become one of my favorites in the LA area. I had their almond milk latte and was not disappointed. This place is always packed and for good reason.

Very generous with their portions and not stingy on ingredients. The croque Madame + side kale salad is the perfect meal. Add the Salted Caramel Alfogado and it's pure heaven.

best coffee spot in Pasadena for flat white and doing some work, reading a book , and having a nice slow day. pastries are just OK, fresh food a notch better than that

Almond croissant has a nice crunch with a generous crust of almond slivers. Good options/mix-ins for different coffee lovers: pour-over, cortados , milk , honey , agave , raw sugar .

Pretty much can't go wrong with anything Copa Vida has to offer. Awesome staff , nice space, great coffee , teas , and food. What more could you ask for?

A solid cafe just off the main drag in Pasadena. Coffee and food selection is excellent. It's a nice place to bring your laptop for a little work or just hang with friends and hang out.

A great place to get some work and socialize but if you really need that WiFi...good luck! Nice coffee and food too. Nice and clean environment. I will be definitely coming back when I am around!

Love the pastries and brunch food ! They have a fixed drink menu as well as seasonal items !

The entire gamut of coffee and tea experiences: A $2-a-cup honor bar during morning rush hour, traditional counter service, an upscale slow bar experience and live music on weekend nights.

Great place to work , and really artsy decorations. Bonus - they even have their own snapchat filter!

Roasted veggie sandwich and kale salad are top notch! I also like their tie guan yin tea . Get 10% off when you present your green menu card :)

They make their French toast with housemade bread - it was delicious and you can get an optional extra of eggs and/or bacon delicious ????

Cozy and affordable coffee shop here in our area! Last Monday night, I came here to sip some coffee and to relieve my stress. I should highly recommend you to everyone!

Great coffee shop . Cool ambiance, delicious food, high quality of coffee and it's not too crowded . Love it. Ideal place to meet up before and after shopping.

I enjoy their Tung Ting oolong tea ; it is very light and sweet. Also, their French toast is delicious - easily the best I've had in a while.

The caffeine-free ginger lemongrass tea is really good. Though you're probably here for caffeine since the mall that is Colorado St is so physically, mentally, and existentially taxing.

Busy EVERY hour, but the wait is worth it - tasty Cortado made from a blend roast - Ethiopa x Kenya.

Smooth and full of flavor the coffee here is exquisite. Friendly baristas make all the difference and the owner's "Pura Vida" energy was evident.

My friend got an oolong tea which was equally as yummy. Love the environment, study friendly !

I was surprised I didn't get a tea bag with my herbal tea in case I wanted a hot water refill. I'll ask about it next time unless someone else knows. (If there is a next time after that.)

Note: they change the WiFi password here frequently to prevent freeloaders

Kale salad - $9. Very tasty and enough for two~

When I was here I saw a lot of people on their laptops so clearly this is the place to be seen working on your computer...and get coffee .

The tea selection here is wonderful, including a good selection of subsequently well-steeped whites.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Perfect place to study. Coffee only second to Jones Coffee Roasters , but closer to Old Town .

French toast are made with housemade bread . The expresso delicious...

They are basically specialized in coffee especially and tea . They grind the coffee beans for you and they make it fresh!

Not too many places you can get decent French toast or chorizo hash with an amazing cup of coffee .

The macchiato was a little in the rough side. Espresso a tad bitter and somewhat chintzy on the milk . Atmos was nice tho esp those cool hot water tubes.

Fantastic espresso drinks and pour overs

Coffee was decent, but worth a special trip. Actually enjoyed the breakfast burrito more. Curbside pickup was tough since the phone line was busy for 10 mins straight even with no customers in sight.

Enjoyed the pour overs and iced coffee selections. They have turned off the wifi over the weekends to encourage more dining

Frank La, formerly of Cafe Dulce, manages this hip coffee shop where he shows off the skills that sent him to the Barista Championships.

Great spot for getting some work done with good vibes and lattes .

the vanilla latte was amazing. better than Starbucks

Their pour overs are damn good!

Got the turkey melt sandwich & salad (huge portion !) + cold brew . Tasty.

Good coffee shop in old town with outdoor seating .

new policy they're trying out: no wifi during Sunday brunch .

Pour over coffee selection was fantastic.

Amazing Coffee ! Reminds me of the good coffee shops in Tokyo

I'm pretty sure they bake their bread every day. It's crazy delicious

Great food and coffee . The waits can get a bit ridiculous however.

Very knowledgable about the teas . Don't be shy about asking for recommendations.

Also, FORTY PARALLEL NINTH coffee , my Canadian friends. Need I say more?

The kale salad is spectacular, very tasty!

The cafe is very clean the coffee cups are just as neat.????
