Java Divas - Pasadena

After driving by this spot for several years, I finally decided to stop by and try their coffee. I’m so happy I did. The baristas are super sweet and the the drinks are perfection. I love the Mexican Hot Chocolate, Chai Latte and my favorite is the Iced Coco Nutty (I think that’s what it’s called). Their prices are also better than some of the other places I go to for coffee which is great because I’d much rather support local.

Just stopped here on a whim because the red light I was at was taking forever. The batista was amazing, chatty, and just was super cool to chat with for a few minutes. My drink was amazing! I'll have to stop by more often.

Meh... I have tried a lot of coffee shops around the area, and this one is nothing to write home about. Their concept definitely sets women back 20-30 years because they use scandalous clothes to lure you in instead of good coffee. Their roast tastes burnt for the regular espresso, and their decaf coffee tastes watered down. I would take a Starbucks over this one any day. And on a side note, if you make good coffee, you wouldn’t need to dress like a drive up hooters to get people at your door.

Because of their signature gimmick (pretty young ladies in sexy outfits , I wasn 't expecting much from the coffee, but it was actually very good. (At least the one item I tried was! Some interesting (and different from the big chains selections are on the menu. I will definitely return soon to try one or two of the other selections. They are in a tiny little shack, which can easily be missed (or dismissed as a colorful tool shed! as you pass by on Ritchie Highway. Note that they are cash only something that really catches me off guard these days. Also, drive through only.

Try the Almond Joy! You won't regret it! This is my favorite coffee shop in Maryland.
