"Mandarin Coffee is a small cafe inside a charming British-themed shopping arcade. The space transports you somewhere far away from Pasadena (Hogwarts, perhaps?), even if you’re waiting in line outside due to the limited space. The creative Chinese-inspired drinks are worth queuing for, though, like an espresso tonic brightened up with tart pineapple jam and a bold Vienna latte made silky with the perfect amount of sweet cream." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
