Charlie's Coffee House
About This Spot
Charlie's Coffee House is a quietly inviting gem tucked into a friendly stretch of South Pasadena, where the rhythm feels unhurried yet alive with curious energy. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a warm, unpretentious space that strikes a sweet balance between a neighborhood café and a cozy gathering spot. The soft murmur of conversation mingles with the occasional clink of cups, while local artwork graces the walls, adding a gentle pulse of creativity to the surroundings.
Here, the pace encourages both moments of calm and casual encounters. Whether you’re settling in for a thoughtful morning coffee or unwinding with a refreshing iced tea, the atmosphere embraces you with a quiet familiarity. The friendly baristas offer quiet expertise, crafting drinks that feel both comforting and artful—a lightly aromatic drip coffee or a latte with just the right touch of warmth that invites a slow savoring. The pairings of thoughtful snacks and creative blends, like a hint of lavender or a splash of coconut milk in matcha, create subtle surprises that linger pleasantly.
Charlie’s doesn’t shout for attention; instead, it reveals itself through the details—the comfort of a cozy corner, the nod to local flavor in both art and ingredients, and a vibe that makes you want to return. It’s a space where community, care, and craft come together in simple, authentic moments.

I really wanted to hate this coffee shop, but the delicous food and friendly service took me by surprise. They have limited parking spots, but that wasn't a problem if you go early enough. I ordered their drip coffee and it was subliminal- it had a perfectly light aroma to it and wasn't too hot. I'm really glad they had Splenda too. Their vegetarian burritos was affordable and delicious. The area bad cushy chairs that provided a cozy reading area, I just wish the music was toned down.

I just wanted a solid latte & this spot got it done. I just had a latte with almond milk. The flavor was just right and the temperature wasn’t too hot or too warm, just perfect. Overall a solid morning pick me up. I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items.
