“Wonderful spot with a laid back vibe, great coffee and friendly staff.”

I really enjoyed Copa Vida. It’s a bright and engaging space. Plenty of seating available. The menu has enough to choose from, including an array of tea options which looked tempting. There is free hot sauce/ ketchup / condiments available to grab for your food! I had the iced Americano and drank it all. Very balanced. I paired it with their French toast which seems to be made with sourdough and I was pleasantly surprised. I’ll never want French toast made with any other bread again! I had the bite of my sisters breakfast burrito and it was delicious. She really enjoyed the greens in it. AMAZI

I have been a customer for years and have always liked the location and the general atmosphere. However, in recent times, the condition of the coffee shop has become frankly abominable. Every single surface is grimy and covered with dust and dirt. Even the shelves on which their merchandise is displayed have a thick layer of dust and coffee grains. All the chairs, windowsills, walls, and even equipment are dirty (please look at the pictures I have taken on the 8th of Jan 2026 ). I am not saying that they should buy new furniture or repaint, or anything like that, but to simply clean the place

I had a drip coffee here that was really good! I added creme to it. My friend the Turkey Brekkie and really enjoyed it. They were quick with service, especially since it was New Year's Day and the Rose Bowl Parade had just concluded.

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.
