Rosebud Coffee - Pasadena

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)

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 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 do serve food, wine, and beer here that I would also like to try, with prices that seem *slightly* more reasonable than their coffee.

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 would be a great place to get coffee even without the story behind it. I'm just a basic black coffee person but it was nice and flavorful and served at a readily drinkable temperature. I was there first thing Sunday morning and the pastry selection was very good (came close to getting selection paralysis). The strawberry bear-claw I chose was good and flaky and being heated was a nice touch. The space is airy and just the right level of brightness and warmth, the sort of place I could see spending time reading or hanging out chatting. Unfortunately I was on my way out of town so couldn't linger.
