Intelligentsia

The third and largest installation in Los Angeles, Intelligentsia's Pasadena Cafe serves up not only delicious coffees and teas, but also craft beers and wines from a small, well-curated menu. With more space, light and parking (and beer) than its East and Westside cousins, the Pasadena location just may become the most popular. Of course, "popular" doesn't always mean "best"—and you will indeed find better within a few blocks—so consider this trendy, somewhat tired spot a handsome standby.
