The place is nice for sure but their coffee is stronger than I would like
First-time customer and I enjoyed every minute. The coffee and breakfast were everything I needed in the moment. Every single person was so nice. Love it.
It was good :)
Nice space physical space, but consistently terrible staff in 2022 and so far this year. Seemingly completely and totally uninterested in customer service and harder to stomach at nearly $5 for a cappuccino, very mediocre to terrible at brewing coffee. Really sad as this used to be my go to in the area for decent coffee and cheery service. Wasn’t perfect before but at least was kind and usually reliable. Tired of being disappointed so won’t be back for coffee. (Luckily the brewery the space is shared with is still quite good)
Nice atmosphere with plenty of places to sit and work. Decent coffee. They offer food items but they are so often out of stock—like any single item is out of stock half the time—that it can be a bit annoying.
High recommend their drip coffee. So good and fresh. Very fragrant light roast coffee. But don’t get the ricotta toast, pricy and doesn’t taste well.
I have coming in almost daily for the better part of the year. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. They are the best.
Surprisingly slow service but the place was packed. Good atmosphere. Pretty much the expectation
By far the best espresso we had in LA during our 5 days (and there was some stiff competition!) This open warehouse-like coffee roaster shared space with a small brewery. Coffee in the morning, beer/cider/wine in the afternoon. It was a welcoming and unique setup. The barista was kind and patient (even when we showed up a minute after opening to get our caffine fix). The baked goods were tasty and better than traditional store bought but not quite homemade level. We enjoyed cortados (whole and Oat milk) as well as a shot of espresso. All 3 were smooth, full bodied, and slightly floral but not too floral. Overall stopping by this roaster set the morning up very well!
Clean place with a nice aesthetic. Was able to get some work done while sipping on a warm oat milk latte.
Great coffee place. Nice vegan pastries, expertly prepared artisan coffee drinks, nice people.
Parking is decent, plenty of street parking. The table I wanted to sit at was dirty so I asked for napkins but they went a step beyond that and cleaned/sanitized the table and chairs for me. I really appreciated that!! Great customer service! Inside is half of a brewery and the other side is the coffee shop but you can sit anywhere. I was trying to have a serious conversation but it was way too loud inside. It’s def not a quiet coffee shop. The almond croissant was pretty good!
I’ve been here a couple of times while I’ve been looking for a place in the area. The first time was nothing special but I decided to try again, because I know it’s easy to have one bad experience. But this time it was awful. It was if I was a bother for them to even answer simple questions. Both girls at the counter were so off putting. The owner was scurrying around. I knew it was him as I had read an article about him. He saw me waiting for quite a long time and never would even look up. The food I got was just terrible and dry and over cooked. I love a good coffee shop and will be reviewing one down the road from here that I just love. But this one was bad for me.
I've walked by this place quite a bit recently and wanted to try it out since it seemed like a chill spot. It's half coffee shop, half brewery/bar food, so that's the vibe. Coffee stuff closes at 4 while the brewery stays open until 10, generally speaking, so keep that in mind (no cozy nighttime coffee, unfortunately). The inside is roomy, open, and accommodating to a large number of guests, with picnic-style bench seating, larger bar tables, an actual bar, and some more intimate arrangements -- plenty of seating, hardly any outlets, so keep that in mind if you're coming here to work, as I was. I ordered a black, iced cold brew coffee and it was $6.50 (!!), which is more than a bit pricey. It was very good, at least, but still, that's a lot. I can't speak for anything else on the menu but if a black coffee with nothing in it is that much, I'm curious to see how much literally anything else costs. Wi-Fi passwords are located on receipts, supposedly to discourage people from sitting there all day who haven't purchased anything, which is fair. The internet was terrible while I was here, though, with constant ping spikes and full-on disconnects (on and off VPN), making it impossible to video call, and work. Maybe it was just me, maybe it was just that one day, maybe it was both, maybe it happens all of the time. No idea, but worth mentioning. Service was great with the first person who helped me, who was seemingly excited to be there and enjoying her day. The second person who helped me, whom I asked where I could find the Wi-Fi password, peeked their eyes over their mask and gave me a smug look, literally saying nothing to me while silently handing me some random receipt. Again, maybe just the day, maybe something tough was on their mind outside of work, but either way, first impressions are impactful. Overall, my experience was fine enough. I hesitate to try and work here again, but maybe I'll give it a shot when I don't have anything super important to do. They
Huge, spacious coffee shop that looks like it's combined with a brewery. Drinks were a bit mild, and the internet is slow/spotty and there weren't enough outlets in my opinion so maybe not the best place to hunker down and get work done, but great for catching up with friends or spending some time offline
Great coffee house. They just don’t offer a free drip coffee when purchasing a bag of beans. Probably the only third wave coffeehouse I’ve ever been to that doesn’t offer that.
A great place to meet, hang out with your friends and catch up on life. They have spacious indoor sitting and out door patio for big group meetings. Rosebud serves great coffees and teas. The owner Dan told me that he trains each barista to differentiate each types of coffee by smell. This results in fantastic coffee in each cup. Not only coffee and teas are good here, the pastries are mesmerizing too. I loved their almond croissant where they added chocolate in the almond paste fillings resulting creamy and tasty croissant. They have a few of pastries on display which I don’t recognize. I guess they invented their own. Besides coffee and pastries, Rosebud also has a microbrewery on site. But no beers served in the morning. So I didn’t have a chance to taste their beer. We shall come back in an after to taste their beer. They do have plenty of parking in the back and on the street. It’s ideal for big group gathering.
This place is no good!!! 1. The only good thing is the parking, there is a back lot. 2. THE WIFI DOES NOT WORK. When I told the cashier she tried helping me out by giving me different passwords to different networks, but still no luck. They mentioned this happens FREQUENTLY and the internet doesn't work sometimes. I guess I came on a day the internet wasn't working. So now I couldn't do my work, and had to trouble shoot for over ONE HOUR, with still no luck. Multiple people were having trouble with this as well. 3. The coffee is BLAND! $6.50 for the lavender latte that DOES NOT taste like lavender. $6.50 for the rosebud latte that TASTES BLAND. Not even coffee, just bland drinks. 4. There is NO latte art !! This place FALSEY advertises their coffee! Yelp demonstrates a beautiful latte art. Let me show you what they gave me ! Sometimes you want to drive out to a coffee shop because the latte art looks beautiful, but I am so upset they advertise this yet they give you a paper to-go cup with no art, even if you are dining in. 5. It's MUSTY! There is no AC running nor heater. Just sitting in a musty temperature room. I will NEVER be returning to this establishment. Such a shame, because I had this place in mind for MONTHS when I moved to Pasadena, and when I finally get the chance to try it out, it GREATLY DISAPPOINTED. I recommend Intelligentsia Coffee on Colorado instead!!
Diamond in the rough. Each visit better than the last. It's becoming a destination, here, East of Lake.
Staff was really friendly. The place is well maintained and really cute! The vanilla iced latte and passion oolong tea is okay but nothing special!
