Tepito Coffee & Tea House - Coffee shop in Pasadena - 695 E Colorado Blvd, USA

This place was suggested to us and so we decided to head out and explore this and another location. Absolutely loved the atmosphere here. It is aesthetically pleasing. The vibe you get is amazing. Being that my fiancé is from ELA it is definitely a place he enjoyed and we are proud to have the ELA culture expanding and for people to learn from. There is also a unique bookstore/gift store I would say you can walk right into. Prices are reasonable. We had Hibiscus poncho with a splash of agave syrup (which was recommended) and it was so good. Balanced out the tart taste of the hibiscus. Service from the cashier to the back house was great! Attentive and friendly. Definitely will always go support any time we are out that way!! Ahéhéé (thank you)

These are good people working here, and they have great coffee and all sorts of delicious sweets. I mostly like the fact that they seem genuinely engaged with their customers.

I’m always amazed at the exceptional customer service I get here. I’m a devoted Vroman’s book shopper and always stop in after my purchase for either Chai Tea Latte or Matcha Tea Latte! Joined the Tepito club to earn points which is an added bonus. Will be returning anytime I’m at Vroman’s.

I’ve been wanting to try this shop since it opened and I’m so happy I finally made it out here! Ordered a hot awakened pour over specialty (pictured here) & Iceed warrior coffee blend w/ vanilla syrup. 10/10. Also took home my own 12 Oz medium roast coffee bag ☕️ The flavor was rich and just enough strength of espresso. Read reviews over pricing being high, however, the prices aren’t bad at all. You’re paying for quality coffee here and the pricing is worth it. Plus, you’re supporting a Latino business. Once again, 10/10. Staff were super friendly and welcoming once you enter the shop. One of the baristas heard me say I’ve been wanting to try their coffee forever and he said, “I’ve been waiting forever for you” — which made me smile. You can tell all the staff put their heart and soul into the shop. Definitely worth making the 30 minute drive back! Next time will be here earlier to try the food!

If I can give this place a 6th star I would. First of all, it's inside a bookstore (Vromans), which itself is already amazing! Grab a book and go to the cafe? Deal! The cafe: it's Latin owned and the inside/decor is amazing. It presents the culture. Lots of plants and artifacts. The coffee/pastries: I've tried almost everything here and have not been disappointed. From their regular lattes, to the horchata lattes, to their black coffee. Iced and hot, they are all really good! Their pastries are homemade. My go-to is their lavender flavor cookie. (The chocolate chip cookie was very good as well). Service: Everyone here is BIPOC and are all lovely and amazing humans. Will answer any questions you have. Will be willing to give any recommendations. They accommodated me as there were no tables left and made space for me so I can get some work done. They also provide super fast wifi! (Not a lot of outlets though, so bring or BUY A BOOK? Free parking in the back. Tip your baristas!!!

I love Cafe de oja. It's delicious. And the home made corn bread is the bomb. The staff has excellent customer service. Plenty of free parking in the back.

Professional friendly staff. Delicious Horchata coffee ☕️ and strawberry pistachio cookies. Winter Solstice Holiday box makes a great gift for family and friends!

A business with incredible social impact and absolutely delicious coffee and pastries. We loved getting their café de olla at the farmer’s market and were so excited to hear they were opening this brick and mortar. This is such a great space and we’re excited to watch it thrive!
