Bevel Coffee, 1866 Allen Ave, Altadena, CA 91104

Bevel Coffee is a Latino-owned new coffee shop in Altadena. It started as a pop-up mobile cart three years ago. The coffee is roasted in-house, but at a different location. The coffee menu includes your typical espresso drinks, drip coffee, cold brew, signature drinks, and teas (loose leaf, tea lattes). I did not see a pour over menu, but I was told that they will offer pour over. Milk choices: whole, oat, almond

For food, they have pastries from Baker’s Kneaded. I spotted croissants, muffins, cookies, and scones. The pastry case hadn’t arrived yet, but it’s on the way.

Latte, $6: Gorgeous foam art, subtle sweetness, very smooth and flavorful

Onion and cheddar scone, $6. The scone was small, hard, and dry. I could taste the cheese. I would not get this again.

The shop is small, so seating is limited to benches inside (no tables) and a few small tables outside. I hope they find a better pastry vendor. You can buy bags of their coffee beans.

We went back and Mr. Froyo said the pour over was pretty bad. The water to beans ratio was off.

There is a rewards program.
