Pasadena Laundry

still plenty of spots in los angeles where the coffee is an afterthought. pasadena laundry on east colorado boulevard isn't one of them. the local following here didn't show up by accident, it built over time, cup by cup, on a stretch of pasadena that has its own unhurried rhythm compared to the westside rush. you don't have to know much about specialty coffee to feel the difference between somewhere that's paying attention and somewhere that isn't. the sourcing decisions, the way the espresso is dialed in on any given day, the fact that people keep coming back rather than just passing through once. worth building your morning around the cortado.
