Zona Rosa sits next to the Pasadena Playhouse, but in-between the two is this small alcove & that's where all the indie bands play. This only occurs during the spring & summer months on Thursday evenings. Loads of fun! That first time in there, I noticed they had "Chocolate de la Abuelita" a famous Mexican brand I grew up with & this became my spot. I started working nearby not too long after & used to have my daily Zocalo con Platano (Abuelita chocolate blended with bananas)---absolutely the best cold drink...EVER! http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Great place, good snacks, great drinks and a loft space hideaway upstairs that will have you wishing you could own the place. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html nice place. i frequent it. i would recommend it. they're kind. cash only. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Zona Rosa is so cool, we drive east to have some awesome coffee. My wife loves the mexican chocolate and I dig the espresso (great crema). The music is very latin/world beat and the Thursday night music shows are really unique for a LA coffeehouse. This place is worth the drive! http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Zona Rosa Caffe in Pasadena has Eclectic mexican decor with drinks with a twist mexican hot chocalate,iced cap ,red eye expresso shots and hello dolly cookies/brownies my fave.Good place to relax and drink a cup or come thursday night for the free musical entertainment ,in the now found out area of the playhouse district http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Ok, so I had read the reviews and most seemed positive, so seeing as I only live about 15 minutes from this place, I decided to give it a go. I had driven by it before, and it looked kind of like a "hole in the wall" kind of find, so I was kind of excited. That's just what I was looking for. My wife and I went on a Friday night, and there were 4 people in the upstairs and 2 people sitting outside. We came in and were perusing the menu. I remembered reading some reviews about the Zona Rosa Cappucino, but I was debating because I usually just go with a double-shot of espresso. My wife said she would go for the double shot, so I went for the Zona Rosa Cappucino. For the coffee illiterate, a cappucino is supposed to be 1/3espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and a 1/3 foam. The Zona Rosa Cappucino was described as also having Mexican chocolate, and whipped cream, which is really more of a mocha than a cappucino, but whatever. Anyway, my wife's double shot of espresso came out. Good, light-brown colored crema, but with a burned aroma. It had a mildly burned taste, and filled a ~4oz cup. Now, as for my "cappucino...." Picture a clear glass about 6 or 7 inches tall, with a consistent brownish-white color..... no foam at the top..... no whip cream.... I was thinking to myself, " Did I order the Zona Rosa LATTE sans whip cream?" Anyway, the ambience of the place is okay, if a bit quiet. Cool art upstairs, but I'd recommend sitting outside. As for the coffee.... well, if you're looking for good coffee.... look elsewhere. If you like Starbucks style, extra burned coffee, maybe this is the place for you. It's got a great location, next to the playhouse, so if you're looking for a place to kick-back before the play, maybe give it a try. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html The coffee is the worst I have ever had in my life, it taste like dirt ....please invest the money in the Java guys! http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Great espresso! My wife is crazy about the mexican chocolate that we also stop by to hang out when we are in the area. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html omg this place rocks!!!!!! great atmosphere... very good service...clean!!!! the best coffee ive found in LA!!!! http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Very disapointing Monday afternoon coffee break. After searching for the "best" coffee spots we came across this one online. Cut to the point. We ordered two house coffees and they were both cold/luke warm. When that was mentioned to the employee she heated the coffee by steaming it. I would have expected a new coffee. When i paid, total being $4.33 and i gave her $10.35, she could not make the change because she was "bad at math". eek! To give the place some credit the coffee did not taste bad but the whole experience was disapointing. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Good coffee and friendly service. A great place to study if you don't mind a little background talking/music. It's a nice place to go to avoid the commercialized feel of a Starbucks. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html I love the coffee drinks here but tend not to go because I usually can't find parking or seating here. It is tucked away on El Molino near the Pasadena Playhouse in a narrow space. But, when I have gone, I like to go upstairs because they have big, plush couches and reading material available. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html This place rocks! Friend of mine told me about Zona Rosa Caffe and the mexican chocolate drinks they have. Let me tell you, the Zona Rosa Cappuccino is the best drink I've had in Los Angeles period! This coffee house is a cool place to hang with friends. The music and art are refreshing, you feel like your not in Los Angeles. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html It's a tiny, hole in the wall coffee shop that serves up fantastic coffees and teas with a mexican flavor. It's a perfect hangout if you want a quiet place to study. They have an upstairs room perfect for lounging. Always busy with regulars - a good place to pick up a flyer on local happenings and culture. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Small coffee shop with a comfy area upstairs. The Mexican hot chocolate is very good. Great place to hang out for long periods of time. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Zona Rosa is truely the best coffee in Los Angeles! They have a great drink called the zona rosa cappuccino and their espresso is poured exactly how I had it in Europe. The music is really cool and check out the second floor space if you want to kick back. Enjoy! http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Zona Rosa definitely has a niche all to itself in L.A.- great drinks made with Mexican chocolate in a small but laid-back atmosphere. Everyone knows about the Mexican Mocha which is indulgent but worth it! The employees know and take pride in their products and are happy to recommend one should you need help or have questions. The latte is smooth and hot and served in a nice glass. You can enjoy your drinks inside, where it is quiet (bit not too quiet) or outside on a little table. YOu can hang out forever, nobody pressures you to leave. The only thing lacking is a more comprehensice food menu- you can only get a few cookies or a bagel. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Zona Rosa Caffe really is the best coffeehouse in town without a doubt! They have the most incredible mexican hot chocolate along with those Il Fornaio bake goods, just yummy! They should be in the Best of City Search's coffee as number #1 in my book. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html Tired of going to an impersonal, corporate coffee joint like Starbucks? Try Zona Rosa, a unique coffee house that offers good drinks, cheap refills, and a warm atmosphere. It's a great place to study or hang out with friends. I recommend Zona Rosa's Mexican chocolate as a tasty alternative to regular hot chocolate. http://www.yellowbot.com/zona-rosa-caffe-pasadena-ca.html This is a funky, cozy little place with great espresso drinks and fruity concoctions. They're small, but the upstairs is a great atmosphere for studying or chatting and occasionally there's live music. It's friendly and perfect for apres-cinema conversation.
