Firstly, I enjoyed the vibe in this place -- very comfortable, even if it's slightly cramped. The space isn't TOO small, but if there was 10 less square feet it would be. The decor is nice and cohesive, and it feels deliberate. There's a nice selection of coffee-shop accouterments it peruse, along with some tasty looking food items to take home.There's a good a amount of seating here considering the size of the place. There's a patio with 4 tables and some umbrellas, and some indoor accommodations, as well, although, those are a bit more intimate. Everything was relatively clean considering the amount of traffic in the shop, and at the tables, while I was there.The service was prompt and friendly. Everyone behind the counter was masked, which I appreciated. Everyone was in a good mood and seemingly happy to be doing what they were doing, which added to the pleasant ambiance.I ordered an iced Chai tea and an Italiano sandwich. The drink was ready almost instantly with the sandwich not following too far behind. As far as the quality, everything was outstanding. The iced Chai was delicious, and the sandwich was worth revisiting to experience again. The bread was particularly memorable!The last couple of things I think are worth mentioning are regarding the parking, and the prices. The parking is tight and the lot is seemingly shared with the surrounding businesses. I wouldn't be expecting to find a space if you're coming during peak hours, so keep that in mind. Also, it's not the cheapest place ever, but I genuinely feel that you get what you pay for but it's worth noting.Overall, this place was very, very good and I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. I'll be back again soon!
Love this little hidden gem! Almost didn't want to review it to keep it to myself. It's the perfect spot to grab lunch to catch up with your bestie or your mom (and maybe even your S.O.). They have amazing sandwiches on the best bread! They also make a mean cappuccino and have a pretty solid selection of teas-available hot or iced. Pro tips- ask for extra ice for iced teas since they brew them on demand and on weekend sandwiches ask for easy mustard. I would definitely recommend the Italiano. Mmm.
I stumbled upon this coffee shop on my way to a neighboring restaurant and I’m so glad that I did. The coffee was absolutely delicious and the toast was good.My iced cinnamon creamed honey latte with oat milk was divine! I’d come back just for that.My only critique is that the toast slices should be thicker to accommodate the amount of goat cheese and jam they put on top. The bread to topping ratio is off.They also sell an assortment of goodies at the front of the cafe.
This Wildflower Matcha Latte with oatmilk was a delightful treat during my stay in Altadena. I also went home with a delicious lemon blueberry jam. Employees are so friendly and eager to explain and answer questions.
I really hate to write this review as a long-standing customer of L&H but I think it's important to do so. Went there this morning as I often walk my dog around the area and ordered the iced chai tea latte with oat milk (my go-to, I order it almost weekly). I have a dairy allergy so when I took a sip I could taste that something was off with the drink (sometimes it's made with real milk instead so I'm very cautious as I don't want to get sick). I took it inside to let the person know. The manager I believe asked the barista if she's sure she made it with oat milk, she took a second to think about it and then said yes and said that it looked right. I told her I'd rather be on the safe side and she told me that since the barista said she made it with oat milk, she believes her and they can't remake it for me or refund me. It may not have been her fault because maybe that's the customer policy but it's a really terrible one. So I ended up just leaving the drink and wasting a good $7. As a business owner myself and an owner of a very large social media platform, I know that customer service is key to brand affinity and happy customers. If someone doesn't feel comfortable with your service or product, it's best to just remake them, forfeit the $2 it costs you to make the tea and to keep them happy, but apparently that's not Lavender and Honey's policy which is so disappointing. I've been to a lot of coffee shops (I work remotely) and I've never had that happen to me. They've always happily remade the drink if it doesn't taste right or if I didn't like it. Sad to say they've lost me as a customer and lost my recommendation.
Heard about this coffee shop from a friend in Houston. Booked the first flight I could to order the blended lavender lemonade with dragonfruit.BEST DECISION EVER!
Super cool and quaint coffee spot. Very friendly and quick service. I didnt get a chance to ask about their homemade jam but ill be back to find out more!
One of the best lattes I've ever had!
Their smallest portion is the perfect ratio of milk to expresso. The brown sugar latte was also pretty sweet for my taste which is what I was looking for today. The staff was also welcoming
I usually don’t like lavender in my coffee but this French lavender breve was actually REALLY good. The scone was also AMAZING
