"Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the charming, highly-rated Hello You're Welcome café. They make and bake everything in house- you can even see the ovens. Really friendly staff with a slight hippie vibe. Some items were made with almond flour, like their giant chocolate chip cookie, so I had to skip them (allergic). I was pleasantly overwhelmed by a delicious gigantic frittata slice with bacon, onions, and tater tots inside. Togadachi coffee is really interesting: the beans were fermented with lavender. Extra sugar helped me adjust to the unique flavor. The wall full of retail items features coffee beans in VHS boxes, which is a first! I love their mugs and bought one to take home."

"Hello You’re Welcome is such a lovely find for specialty coffee lovers. There is a huge variety of drip, pour over, and espresso drinks that change daily, and the roasters they bring in are top notch. I particularly enjoyed the watermelon co-ferment on the origami dripper. Gigi and her team are thoughtful and deliberate with their coffee offerings, while still leaving space for the eccentric and experimental. When Special Agent Dale Cooper said, “a damn fine cup of coffee” he was undoubtedly speaking about Hello You’re Welcome!"

"If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not) show this local small business some love. They deserve all the hype! The donuts are delicious as well as the coffee and matcha, but the real winner for me today was the mortadella sandwich! Filled with pickled onion, salami and the usual Italian goodies - it hands down was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life. No joke, I scarfed it down. And the space itself is so charming. It’s kind of day dreamy. Antique plates, mismatched silverware and a vintage hutch lined with family photos help create a vibe, and it’s one I really like. I wish I lived here so I could be a regular. Pasadena is lucky to have this place!"

"This place is so cute and the service is just amazing. I felt so welcome here and she helped me pick out these delicious donuts and the perfect latte for my morning. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back again!!"

"There’s plenty of other reviews talking about the food and the pastries, which are great. But this cafe also takes their coffee VERY seriously. Tons of options for stuff on pour over, and a very knowledgeable staff behind the counter. Some of the best coffee I’ve had in the LA area."
