Copa Vida

Really nice shop and experience! Came here with a few friends on a weekday morning and it was a little busy, but our food and coffee still came out within 10 minutes. I ordered the veggie burrito and enjoyed it so much!! The oat milk latte hot was also tasty. I would come 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.

In the running for one of the tastiest Latte’s I’ve ever had. Rarely am I completely satisfied with a $6 latte but this one was such a great experience. I ordered their Lavender Latte with Oat Milk and it was creamy and flavorful. It was super packed but the quality was not hindered. I’d come back in a heartbeat!

Seating was an issue. It was crowded and I don’t think I’d get any work done in the coffee shop. Maybe a good place to chat with a friend and have a cup of coffee.

Great food, great service and there was only a little bit of noise from the neighbors, but that doesn’t happen every day so it was really good. The coffee was so good and the staff are amazingly nice. 10/10 recommend.

I ordered a latte with almond milk. The flavor was great and the temperature was just right. Overall and excellent coffee to start off the day. Make sure to say “to go” or the default is in a glass cup and saucer.

I’d definitely come back to try their other menu items. The interior is large with numerous areas to sit and bring a laptop.

I went back to this place because I been here and the chilaquiles were good in the past. I am given this one start for food and the service. They got my order wrong instead of doing a new batch they scrape the eggs off and this made the whole meal soggy I thought it was a pour move from the chefs. Unfortunate.

YUM! I love a coffee shop that has good coffee but also breakfast. We got delicious sandwiches (called brekkies) and everything was so good. It’s also a comfy and large space. We’re from out of town and enjoyed visiting!

I had just gotten to Pasadena for a convention and I was EXHAUSTED. This place caught my eye on the way over to my hotel and I am soooo glad I ended up here. Super quick and efficient service, I was so shocked. It felt like the second I stepped away after ordering, my latte was ready. Cute latte art and the barista gave me an extra crème brulee macaron for free. Loved the atmosphere, it was really neat and clean inside and everyone just seemed to be in a good mood. The coffee was delicious and was exactly what I needed. Pricing was really good, too.

Also, really random but the entire time I was there, they were ONLY playing Lana Del Rey. Which, honestly? Loved it, my sister and I kinda laughed about it but it was definitely a nice addition to the atmosphere.

This was a great breakfast spot to hit up early morning before heading out into the city. I was staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and wanted to try this place out after looking up reviews.

The restaurant is spacious and well organized with cute merchandise, coffee and teas for sale near the register. I picked up a couple of the glass Copa Vida cups for my iced coffee at home.

I ordered the Chilaquiles for breakfast with an iced coffee. It’s was so good and not just because I was starving. It was actually really great food. Just the right amount of spices, delicious verde sauce and queso. I ate my portion and the rest of my partners order!

When I come back home to Cali, I will be stopping by here for more coffee and yummy breakfast.

My recent visit to Copa Vida in Pasadena was truly outstanding, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Fifi. As a vegetarian, she expertly guided us in selecting delicious food and drink options that catered to our dietary preferences. Fifi's knowledge and enthusiasm made our experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Copa Vida for a great lunch experience.

Awesome cafe serving delicious drinks and food items. The kitchen closes earlier than the rest of the cafe so plan accordingly if you want a meal or a snack. It looks way roomier inside than it does on the street, but it’s still hard to find parking on the weekend because there’s a ton of people who went to come in and do some work/homework. They’ll call your name out at the counter when handing your drink, otherwise they’ll come find the number you took for your table.

The honey latte was lovely, not too sweet, like a warm hug. Someone recommended a burrito bowl so I got that (it was fantastic!) will definitely be back with my laptop to try more things and work.

The cool air called for a hot lavender latte and it was absolutely divine. Seems like a nice spot to work or study with plenty of seating available.

The food is really good! Well made and classic flavors is is not your typical coffee shop! My wife had the burrito and I have the brachy sandwich for breakfast today and they're both fantastic. This is not the least expensive option, but it certainly is the best tasting option! I like tea and they have two kinds of black tea and they brew it at the proper temperature and time.

The food was exceptional! Stumbled into to this place while driving through the downtown Pasadena. We saw a line that went out the door and couldn’t resist.
- The french toast was a classic; fluffy yet crunchy on the sides, sweet yet not overwhelming, and it had such a beautiful presentation.
- The bacon burrito was scrumptious; a hearty and flavorful delicacy. The arugula and the hash browns were a great pairing.
- The Croque Madame was incredible; everything fit so perfectly. The tomato soup was probably the best soup I’ve ever had for a side dish.

Always a win. Steller chefs and quality baristas. Menu changes seasonally. So be prepared to cry when your new favorite menu item disappears but it's okay because the new new menu items are going to smack. Parking sucks so be prepared to walk. Also go on a week day if possible, it gets slammed on weekends.

Copa Vida is adorable and cozy! One of my new fave coffee shops and brunch spots!

This place is great, on the weekends I love to come here for a delicious brunch meal, and on weekday evenings I'll often come up to Pasadena now and sip coffee and work on my laptop!

The drinks here are delicious, I especially love the Apple Spiced Tea Latte! Such a unique and sweet flavor! The coffees here are all really good as well. If you come when they're serving brunch, I loved the offerings. The plates come with generous portions, as well as a good amount of greens to keep it healthy. The eggs were nicely cooked just right and exactly the way I like it.

The ambience inside is wonderful, it's well lit and is very modern and slightly industrial feeling on one half of it, with the other half being more brightly lit. Whichever suits your preferences! A very relaxing place to come in the evening and get some work done in a cozy and comfortable environment.

I love you Copa Vida! I'll be visiting you regularly from now on!

I had to refrain myself from going there everyday! Coffee is great, food is great, the crowd is diverse and friendly. Perfect place!

I had the grilled cheese and the chilaquiles. Both quite good!

Golden Chai Latte is very fragrant and yummy! Food is also yummy. I came here at 8:30 am and it was pretty empty but as 9 am came around it got really packed quickly.

The best coffee shop in the area despite strong competition all around. The beans are roasted with a light touch. Both the espresso and pour overs are well done by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The food is really good — well made and fresh — much better than what’s expected for a coffee shop. The only downside is the parking. There is 90 minute free parking next door. However, spots are sometimes hard to find. No WiFi on the weekends.

Great spot for breakfast. Love their full coffee menu. Capaccino was amazing. Food tasted really yummmy. Come early cuz it fills up pretty fast. Also the closes parking is the structure on Green and Raymond.
