Criterion coffee

This coffee shop made such a great impression on me that I’d absolutely come back to Pasadena just to visit again! We ordered the egg and avocado croissant sandwich to share, along with a hot rose vanilla latte and an iced banana cream matcha. Everything was so delicious! The sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and both drinks were amazing. Such a cute spot with great vibes already looking forward to coming back!

I had a lovely time! The peach and burrata sandwich and avocado toast were delicious. The banana matcha wasn’t too sweet and the lavender and honey oat latte was great. I got to enjoy their jazz in the afternoon series. Will definitely be coming back!

I’m absolutely in love with this place 🤍 My husband and I came here today, and it’s one of those places that makes you want to leave a review right away because the emotions are just overflowing ✨ Everything here is beautiful - the interior, the atmosphere, the presentation, the little details, and of course the food. It feels so elegant, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing that the experience begins even before the dishes arrive 🍽️ A special highlight was the menu with photos. It’s such a brilliant and thoughtful idea. You can actually see what each dish looks like, understand what you’re in the mood for, and truly enjoy the whole process of choosing 💫 That kind of care for guests really stands out. Everything looked appetizing and tasted amazing. It’s honestly rare to find a place where everything comes together so perfectly - taste, beauty, atmosphere, and quality. And the location makes it even better - right in the center of Pasadena 🌿 It’s such a beautiful area to walk around, and this café is the perfect place to stop and enjoy the moment.

We love Criterion Coffee! The coffee is arguably the best coffee we’ve had! The coffee shop looks really nice inside and has been very well decorated aesthetically! It looks like it’s got a nice place to stay and work on the second floor, too Wish we had more time here, but it’s a coffee shop that we’ll be returning to!

I got the banana date smoothie, and it was a great balance of sweetness — not too sugary, just smooth and naturally flavorful. The vibe of the place was awesome too, with a chill atmosphere and live music playing, which made the whole visit feel more relaxed and fun. It was one of those spots where you just want to sit back, sip your drink, and enjoy the moment. If you’re into tasty smoothies and good vibes with live tunes, this is definitely worth checking out.
