The Coffee Gallery

I know this is strange to say as someone writing review on a coffee shop but I cannot stand coffee. It smells great but the taste is just not for me. That said, I love bringing my Papa to the coffee shop when I visit him at weekends as it is such a relaxed space and the baristas are always very friendly. My Papa gets the same breakfast bagel every time and I get the oatmeal or an omelette with a cup of tea (they have a great selection). The food is always great and my Papa says the coffee is really good!

I visited Saturday at lunch time so this place was very busy and we had to wait a little while for a table but we didn’t mind too much as we knew it was peak time. The wait was worth it as the flat white and cappuccino we had did just the trick after a busy morning shopping. As we had waited for a table we decided to stay for lunch and enjoyed the Farro salad (me) and the veggie omelette (my friend). Both portions were ample and both looked and tasted fresh. The cakes on the counter looked great but we though best not to go there! Thanks for a great lunch guys.

I wish we had a coffee shop like this in my neighborhood. I have been staying with a friend and have been enjoying my caffeine fix here courtesy of the amazing flat whites made with Counter Culture Coffee. So amazingly good. Some people say coffee is just coffee but I DISAGREE! If you are going to spend your hard earned dollars on coffee then it’s gotta be great! Love, love, love it here. Will be back soon guys!!

This is my local coffee shop and I am so happy that I get to have great coffee within a short walk of my house. I know that I can just make a pot of coffee but it is really nice to support local businesses and to get to say hello to a lovely bunch of people every morning. I only usually get coffee but now and again I stay for an oatmeal, which is great. The pastries are delicious too on the days I am feeling like a little treat to start my day. Love these guys. Make sure to visit if you are ever in Altadena.

I really like this place! I got a breakfast burrito and it was so fresh and packed full of ingredients. Cooked to perfection and very filling, I didn’t need any lunch that day. The staff treated us so nice. Atmosphere was good and although it was busy it still felt relaxing. I am not a coffee drinker but my friends loved her turmeric latte and I enjoyed by tea! We will be back again.
