30 Days of Coffee: Day 29
Day 29: Copa Vida
Bringing it back to Pasadena, today’s coffee stop is Copa Vida. They have served Old Town Pasadena since 2013 among retail stores, restaurants, and even other coffee spots. Copa Vida is the kind of place you go to with a friend or two to just socialize, or a small study group if you’re a student.
There are two pretty large rooms for you to choose from. The first is the main room with one wall of windows that lets in a nice amount of natural sunlight. You can sometimes happen upon a live musical performance here in the evenings. The second room is a little more private/intimate. It’s darker and seating is slightly closer together. This room is also where they occasionally serve specialty drinks for the day or have cuppings and classes for those who want to take their coffee love to the next level. It also serves as a special event room that you can rent out for meetings or special occasions.
The coffee here is from some well-known roasters such as Ritual, 49th Parallel and Verve. The teas are selected from Art of Tea and are brewed using a Steampunk. Each drink made here is sure to be done with the most expertise and precision thanks to the award-winning baristas and tea experts on staff. They have a small food menu which offers breakfast and lunch, and some pastries and donuts from Cake Monkey and Donut Snob. They are all delicious accompaniments to your “cup of life” (copa vida)!
Eat. Go. Learn. Live.
