About Criterion coffee

COFFE HOUSE HAND CRAFTED COFFEE TEA , PASTRIES AND BREAKFAST

Located at 39 N Arroyo Pkwy, Pasadena, CA 91103, Criterion coffee operates as a coffee shop serving Pasadena in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

In Pasadena, coffee shops cluster around downtown offices, college campuses and the main commercial streets of residential neighborhoods, and the independents usually close by mid-afternoon while chains stay open into the evening. Across California, drive-thru coffee stands and kiosks fill the gap in suburbs and along highways, and roasters often sell bags and brewing gear at the counter. Check the listing for hours, whether the cafe takes mobile orders, and its Google rating and recent reviews; parking is easiest at suburban locations, while downtown shops rely on street meters or nearby garages. Loyalty programs are common and worth joining if you are a regular.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 7 am–6 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (626) 696-3023. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is criterioncoffee.us, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 431 reviews, which is a strong result for a coffee shop in Pasadena and suggests consistent service.

Pasadena is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around.

I had a lovely time! The peach and burrata sandwich and avocado toast were delicious. The banana matcha wasn’t too sweet and the lavender and honey oat latte was great. I got to enjoy their jazz in the afternoon series. Will definitely be coming back!

This coffee shop made such a great impression on me that I’d absolutely come back to Pasadena just to visit again! We ordered the egg and avocado croissant sandwich to share, along with a hot rose vanilla latte and an iced banana cream matcha. Everything was so delicious! The sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and both drinks were amazing. Such a cute spot with great vibes already looking forward to coming back!

Barista was super nice and took our orders verbally while working on the next orders. Presentation was wonderful and if you enjoy your coffee in house they give you a number and bring it to you. Problem? It was so addicting I drank it in like 10 minutes πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ It’s right near the train station and appeared to be dog-friendly. There’s an area upstairs to sit with lovely natural lighting and chargers if you need it!

I’m absolutely in love with this place 🀍 My husband and I came here today, and it’s one of those places that makes you want to leave a review right away because the emotions are just overflowing ✨ Everything here is beautiful - the interior, the atmosphere, the presentation, the little details, and of course the food. It feels so elegant, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing that the experience begins even before the dishes arrive 🍽️ A special highlight was the menu with photos. It’s such a brilliant and thoughtful idea. You can actually see what each dish looks like, understand what you’re in the mood for, and truly enjoy the whole process of choosing πŸ’« That kind of care for guests really stands out. Everything looked appetizing and tasted amazing. It’s honestly rare to find a place where everything comes together so perfectly - taste, beauty, atmosphere, and quality. And the location makes it even better - right in the center of Pasadena 🌿 It’s such a beautiful area to walk around, and this cafΓ© is the perfect place to stop and enjoy the moment.

We love Criterion Coffee! The coffee is arguably the best coffee we’ve had! The coffee shop looks really nice inside and has been very well decorated aesthetically! It looks like it’s got a nice place to stay and work on the second floor, too Wish we had more time here, but it’s a coffee shop that we’ll be returning to!
