Ahhhh….what the heck!? This was one of the best burritos I’ve had in a long time! I stopped in for a quick lunch and went with the brisket lunch burrito. The side sauce was delicious and the burrito itself was so good! The service was fantastic and the food came out quickly as well even though they appeared to be fairly busy I will definitely be back!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This coffee shop was wonderful. Coffee and tea that we got was great and the environment was good as well. I would definitely stop by here again if I needed work done on my laptop or if I wanted some good coffee and tea and some pastries. The coffee shop is pretty large so there’s lots of room for everybody. Would definitely recommend Copa Vita.

-1 star only because they charge $1 for milk alternatives, which is so backward imo. Vegan breakfast sandwich was delicious! Iced vanilla latte tasted great too. Plenty of seating, fast and friendly service. Bike rack outside.

This place is the top coffee shop in old town Pasadena. They have a large selection of coffee and tea, as well as some nice food options for breakfast or lunch. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The interior is very large with tons of seating. Overall great place to grab a coffee or bite to eat and just chill.

We pass by this place whenever we go to Pasadena . I don’t know why we’ve never tried it . Well we finally decided to stop by for coffee one day in the late afternoon . It’s a cute spot right on the corner of old town Pasadena . Great service . Plenty of room inside . We ordered a hot honey latte. It was subtle not too sweet and just made very nicely . We’ll have to come back and try their food . We were checking out some of the plates and it looked delicious . We will come back for sure !
