Parking lot is 90min free then pay afterwards (one thing that sucks about Pasadena is paying for parking). Not really for reading or studying, but sort of okay if you want to leave the office a bit. Indoors is a little tight in terms of space. Outdoors there are tables. Price-wise, it was more on the pricey side, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Charming little coffee shop. There's nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly remarkable either. You get exactly what you anticipate. read more Charming little coffee shop. There's nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly remarkable either. You get exactly what you anticipate.

Today at Float, I enjoyed a richly flavored Americano made with beans from La Mill, and it was delightful. In contrast, yesterday at their competitor, my Americano lacked texture, was overly smoky, and had a problematic astringency. Ultimately, taste is subjective, and I sincerely hope both coffee shops thrive in the long run. However, it’s disheartening to see the landlord of the shared building adding more stress and competition to small businesses in such a challenging market.

I do appreciate that the salad is packed with greens, but the first few bites were quite bland, and the overall experience ended up being dry. I’m giving it 4 stars, though, as it’s a minor issue. I hope the restaurant considers my feedback. The atmosphere here is fantastic! If you have a smaller appetite, you can easily share a sandwich between two people.

I’ve completed six weekly sessions, and each one has been better than the last. In the first session, I focused on getting comfortable in this unfamiliar environment. Now, I feel a growing sense of excitement with each visit. I've realized that I can achieve some wonderful stretches while floating that I can’t replicate in other ways.

The smoked salmon toast tends to be a bit dry and could benefit from a sauce or something to provide some contrast. The chai latte is also quite mild in flavor. Overall, it’s a nice experience, but with a few enhancements, it could become truly exceptional!

I have to change it to 3 stars, because the last few times I left were at best sub par. The bread was soggy meat was subpar and overall it is a meh sandwich. The staff and the owners are very nice, but I think this place can be much better than now.

Just exactly as a good clean sandwich should be. I discovered this business to late in life. My go to is the chicken pesto. Girlfriend loves the picnic sandwich. Try. This. Place! Its also located in a very charming hallway, I think the term is an arcade? Its worth a visit for the aesthetics alone!

I tried the train mi that was delicious and I would highly recommend. this is a place to check if they get a chance.

I ordered a dish called the Red Cow (as shown below), which features a delicious combination of root beer and vanilla ice cream.
