Is that a lot?

Most coffee shops here got 1 to 4 points taken off. Coffee Bean got fewer than most.

Compared with 47 Pasadena coffee shops. Each shop's last routine inspection counts.

We review Pasadena health data to make this report. We are not the City of Pasadena Public Health Department.

Which one are you?

For Coffee Bean's team

Is this your place?

Welcome, Coffee Bean. We'll walk through this together, one item at a time. To log the fixes, claim Coffee Bean first; we check that you run it.

Your whole team can help. Each person gets one next step, and everyone can see what's done.

This is my place: claim Coffee Bean

We'll help you get every item done. You don't have to do it alone.

We know an inspection can feel heavy, especially when it's busy.

  1. Fix it together

    Follow the steps for each item, with the rule beside it.

  2. Log it

    Your team logs the fix on their phones, with the time and who did it.

  3. Show what you did

    Saying what you fixed, in your own words, builds trust. Families and regulars respect a kitchen that owns it and fixes it.

Each fix step comes from the rule it names: Food Code 4-603.16, Food Code 6-501.112, HSC 113947.1, Food Code 4-301.12.

About this record

Open the City's Health Inspection Search, choose Restaurant/Market, and search for the name. Inspections before December 2025 are on its second page.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.

100 means the inspector found no problems. Pasadena takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.

Each inspection starts at 100 points and points come off for each violation. 85 to 100 is a Pass, 75 to 84 a Conditional Pass, and below 75 a permit suspension hearing is scheduled. Closed means the permit was suspended. The City uses no letter grade. Its guide is from 2014: confirm the numbers with the department.
