Brunch restaurant
Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery, located in Pasadena, is a charming dining destination housed in the former horse stable of the Pasadena Fire Department. The restaurant offers a lush outdoor patio with ceiling fans to combat the local heat and a grab-and-go market. Vanessa and Thomas Tilaka Kalb have designed an interior that exudes bucolic charm, complete with unique floral plates for their elevated American comfort food offerings such as Hot Dish and Pimento Cheese Omelet.
Went for brunch and it was an excellent overall experience. Started with a cheese board that was delicious. For the mains we split the tater tot casserole and the sticky toffee pancakes. It was a perfect sweet and savory combination. The casserole was an amazing combo of flavors and textures and the sticky toffee pancakes were incredible, but not ridiculously sweet. Definitely going back to try other items on the menu.

I’ve had their “Tommy Salame” before. It was adequately sized and normally priced for the quality you’re getting. This time I got the “Chicken Parm Sando.” I would say it was truly overpriced for the quantity you are getting. $21 for a small 6 inch sub makes no sense even if all the ingredients maybe organic or better quality. I would have priced that at $16 maximum because I know their overhead costs may be on the higher end. I just was expecting a bigger and more filling sandwich for that hefty price tag. Overall, it tasted great and homemade which I appreciate. However, it was a bit too acidic per my preference leaving me with some heartburn. I also got the $4 “Rye Brownie.” It had a more dark chocolate flavor and the texture was more wet like fudge rather than pillowy softness. I also experienced some heartburn from that. I wanted to purchase a tiny box of a single serving chocolate covered honeycomb but it was priced at $20. I mean online the “Honeymoon” brand sells it $12.50 each. I just found everything on their shelves from chocolates to jams priced double or triple what you would pay for elsewhere all to appease their rent and salaries. I really like their dedication to quality and freshness. And it’s truly an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. They just need to work on adequately pricing their food and products according to the market.

Food: I’ll mention my three favorites here to keep it shortened. I enjoyed the spinach and leek dip very much, the chips were delicious - crunchy, light, and airy with great flavor from whatever oil they fried it in. The dip I loved, the cheese flavor was strong and it was easy enough to get onto a chip. I liked the potato dumplings (gnocchi not dumplings) the sauce was very creamy, and Parmesan, and the bits of broccoli added a nice soft texture. I loved the crunchy pieces of bacon on top. The lettuces salad was also great, crisp, fresh greens meet with sweet dates, sweet dressing, and sliced almonds to make a delicious salad. Service: We had a reservation for 7:30, but we were seated at 7:45 instead, and the hostess was on the phone talking to another customer for about 10 minutes. Why have reservations if they can’t be on time? Our server was nice though and the food came out fast. Atmosphere: I liked how it was part store, part restaurant. The cheese displayed in the front made for a welcoming entrance. The left half had tables which made it look like a restaurant, while the other had wine for display and other items, making it like a store. Overall: Really delicious food and cute vibe, the service just fell a little short for me.

We had a wonderful brunch experience at Agnes! The cheese board was definitely the highlight, offering a great selection of cheeses with enough variety to keep things interesting and never repetitive. It felt like the perfect way to start the meal. Since it was brunch, we also ordered toast and salad. The crème brûlée toast stood out it was sweet, indulgent, and quite filling, almost like having dessert for breakfast. On the lighter side, the Babé Farms Lettuces salad was beautifully done, with fresh mixed greens paired with Aries cheese, smoked almonds, and dates, all tied together with a mustard shallot vinaigrette. The combination of crunchy nuts and sweet dates made it both refreshing and satisfying. The atmosphere of the restaurant is another big plus. With exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and a spacious patio, it feels open and stylish, yet still comfortable and welcoming. The way the dining room, bar, and market space flow together makes it feel unique and versatile. I also appreciated how extensive the menu is there are options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, which makes it a place you could easily visit again and again for different occasions. On top of that, the drink selection is varied enough to complement any meal. Overall, Agnes is a spot that delivers not only on flavor but also on ambiance and versatility.

I’ve never met Agnes… but she’s got style. This place is such an interesting blend of modern ambiance and interior design. Natural light, brick walls, a crackling fire. And amazing cheese and wine of course. My friend and I were the only two in there and I bet it’s quite the spot in the evening. I’ll be coming back.

Wonderfully indulgent food. Atmosphere isnt as cozy as we had hoped (back patio was closed) but the staff was so kind and thoughtful on our anniversary (giving us a free champagne toast) and the food was so yummy. We weren't drinking beyond the champagne but the meal was 10/10 for cheese lovers.

Three of us took a friend for her 30th birthday based on a recommendation. However, it didn't live up to the hype. We went on Saturday night, 7:30 p.m. reservation. We got seated about 10 minutes after our reservation time which was expected. A server offered to take our drink order within a few minutes. Then another one went up to our table for the same purpose only a few minutes after the original order. With one vegetarian in the group, we attempted to order a mix of entrees that offered something for everyone. The Cheese Board was too small for four hungry women who had just gotten massages. The Crispy Tater Tots tasted just like any other, minus the crispy. The Beets and Pears was meh. The Grilled Cauliflower wasn't available but they made it with broccolini and that was okay. Unfortunately, there weren't any distinguishing seasonings or flavors that stood out. The carnivores ordered the fried chicken and skirt steak. They said it was good. We each one cocktail which didn't wow anyone. While we asked the server for her assessment on whether she thought we had ordered enough and she said it was a lot of food. It wasn't given the family-style service and small portions. There was a long delay between each order, including our drinks. We found ourselves done in between orders as we looked toward the kitchen area hoping to see a server with one of our orders. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we asked to see the dessert menu which was very unimpressive (root beer float, some kind of bread pudding, sorbet and some chocolate taco). We assumed that they would bring some kind of dessert for the birthday girl but no such luck. She did, however, get a birthday card as soon as she sat down. I would recommend this if one wants a light meal with loud ambiance in a restaurant-deli ambiance. I will not be returning for a light meal nor a dinner as the food and service were nothing spectacular, especially for a tab of $326.72.

From the beautiful patio space and thoughtful color schemes, to the friendly wait staff, I thoroughly enjoyed my evening out at Agnes. The s'mores taco was chef's kiss! What a lovely place for a quaint dinner with a friend in Old Pasadena. Thanks!!

American restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
Diner
Lunch restaurant
Russell's is a classic American diner located in Old Pasadena, offering a mix of American comfort classics, Italian and French dishes throughout the day. It's renowned for serving some of the best burgers and pies in town, featuring an extensive selection of pie flavors including lemon meringue, coconut cream, banana cream, and more. In addition to its famous pies, Russell's also excels in breakfast offerings such as omelettes, pancakes, and waffles.
We pulled up in the middle of the week...about 60 degrees at best, but parking was plentiful in the garage to which Russell's is attached. Bonus points because parking in Downtown Pasadena can be a fiasco of priced parking if folks are out and about. The wait was around 30 minutes, which we accepted, because our parents raised us to have patience. However, there were great expectations because of the rantings and ravings of the Yelp and Google crowds. Onward. Parking, ambiance, wait times, etc. aside, we're talking about a restaurant for two reasons: food and service. AS SOON as the wife and I sat down, our waiter immediately greeted us, but it was not rushed, and took beverage orders. They are efficient here. Folks in the tables around us were served plates of good-looking hot food that rendered them solely focused on the next bite. I ordered The Big One, and she had a French Toast meal. We tore those plates up. I heard nothing from my wife the entire time and it was the goodness of the food, and not her awe of her husband...this time. The Big One is indeed that, big. Get blueberry pancakes and level up your life. The bacon was thick, the sausage was succulent, and the eggs were not skimpy...even in this economy. I could have done without the hash browns but the slice of french toast I added is one of the best decisions I've made...in life. My decimated plate was cleared before I could take a picture of it...another testament to the friendly efficient that is a hallmark of the service here. Will definitely be back on purpose.

I love Russell’s. I’ve been here a few times now with friends and family. It’s a cozy and intimate diner feeling restaurant. There is always a wait because it’s just that good. I always get the waffles and breakfast plate with the hash browns. A simple and delicious breakfast and one that I crave. 🫶🏻

My SO said he loved everything about it. We were there for breakfast on a Sunday. We were told an hour wait. Our wait was less probably 30-45 minutes. The restaurant was packed and a little noisy. There is only one restaurant for women. However the diner is not that big. We had the waffle breakfast and the French toast breakfast. I would order either one again. You get eggs and the meat of your choice. Hash browns and drinks are separate.

Comfort breakfast food, surrounded by good art, classical music made for a great experience. I had the breakfast burrito and it came out hot, the ingredients were super high quality. Service was very friendly and my coffee never emptied. Everything was just perfect, we'll be back tomorrow.

We went mid-morning and there was still a wait, but, oh, my goodness, was it worth it! In the 70's, I lived in Pasadena within walking distance to Russell's, but we only discovered it now, 50 years later! I love the deep red walls, the reproduction of famous paintings, and the classical music. The restaurant is divided into excellent seating arrangements, including a counter. We enjoyed great food and great service.

Love this place the atmosphere is very relaxing, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the waffle we got with out meal was perfectly crispy, and hit the spot ! The other items (eggs bacon hashbrowns) were ok not spectacular but definitely not bad either we’ll skip the muffin addition next time, and just to clarify if you request just a glass of water it’s tap …don’t drink LA tap… order water or skip water all together. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious!

Was recommended this place from a local. Arrived at the restaurant shortly after 7:15am. We were warmly greeted and taken to our seats quickly. Coffee was fresh and was given enough time to make a decision to order. I ordered the ulitmate breakfast burrito with extra crispy hashbrowns (nailed it) and my friend ordered fresh toast. Both meals were done to perfection.

Marston's Pasadena is a beloved eatery that has been serving classic breakfast dishes, lunch, dinner, and happy-hour specials since 1987. Located just north of Old Pasadena, this charming restaurant is housed in a converted Craftsman cottage with vintage decor featuring scenic landscapes and floral paintings. The menu offers popular breakfast classics like the pulled pork Benny and huevos rancheros, as well as their famous French toast.
We had breakfast here and it was delicious! I had a California omelette and my fiancé had the brisket and eggs. Paired it with a yummy mimosa! it was so good. Everything is fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Christina L — Google review
Enjoyed the patio seating in the morning, was more calm and quiet having seen how crowded it was inside. I enjoyed my omelette very much. I did try a bite of the pulled pork eggs Benedict, not much flavor there. They do have their own parking lot, but it’s very small. There is some street parking available. Wasn’t aware of the 3% surcharge for using a credit card.

Definitely one of the most popular breakfast restaurants in all of Pasadena. It’s very laid-back and you feel as if you are eating inside someone’s home. The wait times are never as long here as some other restaurants close by but also it’s not the best option in town. Russell‘s, a few blocks away, is the best breakfast in Pasadena in my opinion, but Marston’s is still worth visiting. They have an extremely tiny and narrow parking lot with free parking otherwise it will be street parking. They have a fairly large menu filled with a lot of good options and our server was very polite. Inside is not very large and just has table seating, there is not a counter. The food here is good, but not great. For my first visit I chose the special - Crab Cake Benedict and thought it was just OK. The crabcakes did not have as much flavor as I had recently and I really did not enjoy the side of potatoes. I would suggest offering hashbrowns instead. I also felt it was a bit overpriced for what we got in return and honestly I don’t think I would visit again given the other breakfast options close by.

I went for brunch with my husband and three children aged 7, 4, and 1. The restaurant atmosphere was very nice, and we ate outside on the patio -- they quickly moved tables around to accommodate us outside as we requested. The food was average and the coffee below average, and I was unpleasantly surprised by the cost. It was nearly $80 US for middling diner fare -- very overpriced! But a nice place if money is no object.

Great breakfast menu selection. I had a Denver omelet that was exceptional. I would recommend Marston's as a need to go place. I'm planning on trying the Huevos Rancheros next time. Lots of the other patron were talking about their French toast options, need to try that too. Definitely recommend a visit to Marston's

Lovely little hidden gem for breakfast dishes. The French toast is one of the best I’ve ever had. An absolute must-try. Update: recently visited the restaurant for Sunday brunch and decided to try some non-breakfast items. We had the regular burger, the crispy chicken sandwich, and the rio grande tuna melt. They were all great. We all especially liked the refreshing side Jicama salad. I highly recommend adding the caramelized onions and chipotle peppers to the tuna melt. I have to mention, the service was very slow. Servers were helpful and nice, just a little slow. We had to wait quite a while even though there weren’t many customers at the restaurant.

This place serves classic American food, best known for their breakfast and lunch. Their French toast is quite famous. The menu has not changed much in the last few years . My California omelette was delicious but came out really oily. The potatoes were also oily and were not evenly cooked. So sad about the quality of the food today.

Old Sasoon Bakery is a charming Middle Eastern bakery in Pasadena that has been serving up delicious Armenian and Mediterranean baked goods for over four decades. The bakery offers an array of treats, including zaatar-crusted flatbreads, soujouk-filled beorags, and jingalov hatz bursting with dill. While the bakery recently added an indoor dining room, their sunny sidewalk patio remains a popular spot to enjoy freshly baked bread and pastries along with a cup of coffee.
We always go here when we are visiting Pasadena. The food is delicious, the service friendly, the prices reasonable, and the atmosphere is casual. They did a recent expansion, creating a larger indoor dining area in addition to several tables outside. Be adventurous! You'll be in for a treat

The food here is lovely and the service is top notch. I stopped by on the way to work and ordered a khachapuri with soujouk and a spicy cheese roll to go. The patio was lovely, so I ended up starting my breakfast here before leaving and the purveyor came out with hot sauce and napkins after seeing me through the front windows. They are very attentive and informative when I asked questions. The bread is out of this world and the serving sizes are on the larger side. Great stop for a quick on the go breakfast or larger savory orders. Inside is clean and the patio has shade covers.

I’m in Pasadena for the first time for a conference and I’m always tired, BUT a friend and made an effort to wake up early and walk almost 3 miles to Old Sassoon for breakfast. BEST. IDEA. EVER. Amazing bakery and super lovely people. If you are ever in the area for a conference, vacation, or any reason: make this a stop! I got the Khachapuri with extra veggies, a coffee, and a lovely pistachio baklava. YUMMMMMM!

Will go again to try others.

Lucky Boy is a popular local spot in Pasadena known for its charbroiled burgers and breakfast burritos. The restaurant, with two locations, serves up a legendary breakfast burrito that has gained quite a reputation. This behemoth of a burrito is filled with home fries, breakfast meat, shredded cheddar, and scrambled egg all wrapped in a tortilla. It's available all day long and draws crowds from across Los Angeles.
My buddy told me about this place. We got their famous breakfast burrito. It's freaking huge and awesome! The only thing that could make it better would be some jalapenos inside of it. They have an awesome seating area. This place is great. You can sit inside if you want. I want to try their pastrami sandwich.
Gregory K — Google review
Originally opened in 1961, this spot is most famous for their breakfast burritos and burgers. They specialize in quick, casual, large sized to-go orders, however, there is an area where you can eat inside at one of their many booths. I have been here a few times and every time, even if there is a line, I never have to wait long for my order. There is a large free parking lot attached so parking is really easy and plentiful. They have a very large menu with all sorts of different options on it, but for this most recent visit, I got the Double Cheeseburger with avocado and loved it. The patties are really well seasoned, and they threw a ton of avocado on it which I loved. It’s just a really great comfort food option and really hits the spot when you’re in that mood. I also ordered a bowl of their Chili, and really liked it. It’s one of the better versions in the area and I would recommend if you are a fan.

Super yummy little spot! I think this is an old, iconic location in Pasadena. It's a burger stop, but they have a wide range of sandwiches as well as burritos and a couple other assorted items. It has a diner sort of feel to it, with both inside and outside seating. I went with my family and we each had something different and then shared zucchini and regular fries. Great flavors, everything came out fast and service was friendly! Prices are very reasonable and if anything the portion sizes are rather large. Most of us took half of the food to-go. Fun place to grab a quick bite to eat! Would go again and try something else.

This place slaps hard because where else are you getting a giant pastrami sandwich with thick cuts of super flavored, juicy, well-seasoned pastrami and fries? I've been to a lot of places that sell pastrami, and this is the first place that is worth the $14. Delicious! Oh, and my husband got the turkey melt but ate it too fast for me to take a picture, so I guess that was also delicious.

The food here is as good as it was when I first visited over ten years ago. Portions are large and I struggled to eat half of my double cheeseburger as I added a side of onion rings to my order (made it through about a third of those). The place hasnt changed which is a large part of its charm. The food came out quickly and the staff was very nice. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Amara Cafe & Restaurant is a cozy Venezuelan spot that offers South American fare such as arepas, cachapas, and Spanish churros. It's a great place for a hearty breakfast or a full-fledged meal. The cafe also serves artisanal Venezuelan dark hot chocolate that is thick, creamy, and rich in flavor. For those with an adventurous palate, the hot chocolate can be enjoyed Aztec style with added chile pasilla for a spicy kick.
We tried the trio plate and the Llanera Cachapas with pork and Madrid style churros. 5/5 on everything. Guava lemonade is nice and tart and cuts right through the richness of our dishes. Just the comfort food I needed this weekend. Trust the hype on this one. Also, the lovely woman working the register this morning is amazing.

I was sooo happy to find this Venezuelan cafe one day before starting work. The arepas are authentic, the “Caracas” latte is delicious with a little bit of cinnamon, and the rich Venezuelan hot chocolate transports me back to enjoying a mug with my abuelita. The staff are so friendly and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. They have forever gained a customer when I am in Pasadena or anywhere nearby. You just have to try this place!!!!

Amara’s Cafe is a Venezuelan cafe that makes mornings feel special. I stopped by around 8 a.m. and immediately loved the calm, relaxed atmosphere with no crowds and no wait. It was the perfect time to enjoy breakfast with good coffee. I ordered the Galipan cachapa, a traditional Venezuelan dish that is basically a sweet corn pancake cooked until golden and folded over with salty cheese. The plate came with flavorful black beans, fluffy scrambled eggs, tangy sour cream, a bright green salsa, and tender shredded meat. It was a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and creamy in every bite. For a seasonal touch, I had the pumpkin latte which was smooth, spiced just right, and not too sweet. As an added surprise, they brought out a complimentary plate of churros with chocolate. The churros were crisp and warm and the chocolate sauce was rich and glossy, a perfect way to end the meal. The service was just as good as the food. The cashier was welcoming and gave excellent recommendations that made it easy to choose dishes worth trying. Overall Amara’s Cafe delivers authentic Venezuelan flavors with a relaxed modern cafe setting. The food is thoughtful, the service is warm, and the morning ambiance is calm and inviting. It is definitely a place worth visiting again.

First time here, and this was such a delightful place! The owners were WONDERFUL, so warm and welcoming, elevated the entire experience for me. We had the arepas, morning bun, coffee, and churros. The churros were so warm and tasty, highly recommend getting a spicy kick in your coffee, arepas were good too (slightly small for the price, but decently filling).

Bone Kettle is a trendy restaurant located in Old Pasadena, offering a unique dining experience centered around Indonesian cuisine and slow-cooked bone broth. Chef Erwin Tjahyadi, with his background in fine dining and Southeast Asian influences, has curated a diverse menu featuring shareable appetizers, complete rice plate lunches, and noodle soups made with the restaurant's signature 36-hour simmered bone broths.
Came here for brunch/lunch with a friend. It was my first time visiting, and will definitely be back. The Eggs Benedict plate was one of the best I've ever had (maybe the best - and I would know - eggs benny is one of my fav meals👌)! My friend had the fried shrimp and loco moco.. both also perfection. The drinks and service were also wonderful and kind. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside, but the interier looked nice and modern. Thank you for the great food, and kind, and patient service.

Bone Kettle: A Flavor-Packed Gem in Pasadena From the moment we stepped into Bone Kettle, we knew we were in for something special. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance, sleek, modern, and warm with attentive staff who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. But let’s talk about the food. The star of the show? Their legendary broth slow-simmered for 36 hours, rich, silky, and layered with flavor. Every spoonful feels like a masterclass in depth and technique. Every dish is beautifully plated and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing Southeast Asian flavors with a refined twist. The appetizers are equally impressive, and the craft cocktails hold their own alongside the bold cuisine. Prices are fair for the quality, and portions are satisfying without overwhelming. You can tell the team here takes real pride in their work. Bone Kettle isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. Highly recommend for date nights, foodies, or anyone who wants to taste something extraordinary in the heart of Pasadena.

It's been a while since I've been here, but I recently came for the Lao New Year Pop-up event, and do NOT regret it! Food was AWESOME! Sure, it's from the regular menu items, and from what I remember, that was still good! Definitely worth taking your date here regardless!

Food wasn’t bad, I came in for LA Dine in. I got the beet salad that was pretty good and the chicken wings. Then we got the brisket broth that was good I only like the broth, the noodles were strange like it was from a package. I didn’t try the sandwich it looks greasy so I brought it home.

They automatically add a 20% service fee (you can ask to remove it, but there’s no other way to tip—this replaces a traditional tip). The food was solid: we had the beet salad, drunken noodles, and fried rice, all worth ordering. Don’t skip the yuzu lemonade; it’s excellent.

We had a wonderful experience at Bone Kettle for our family dinner! We booked a semi-private space for 18 adults and 5 little ones (all under 3), and from start to finish the staff went above and beyond. With so many kids, it took a while to get everyone settled, but the team never rushed us—they gave us plenty of time before the food started coming out, which was a huge relief. Even as the restaurant got busier later in the evening, we always felt like our group was being taken care of. The fun music in the background even had our toddlers dancing, which made for a joyful atmosphere. The planning process was simple and efficient thanks to Thea, who helped us customize a menu perfectly suited to our group. Bone Kettle provides sample menus, but we loved how flexible they were in letting us mix and match dishes from their regular menu. Everything came out smoothly, right on time, and most importantly—it was all delicious! The small plates and appetizers were true standouts. I also really appreciated the transparency: for large parties there’s a 20% service fee, but the food prices were exactly the same as the regular menu (no hidden markups). At the end of the night I wanted to leave an additional tip for how wonderfully they handled our big group, but the servers and manager kindly declined. That gesture alone spoke volumes about their integrity and hospitality. All in all, Bone Kettle gave us an unforgettable evening—delicious food, amazing service, and a welcoming environment that made our whole family (including the kids) feel at home. Highly recommend for larger gatherings!

This place was incredible! Some of the best vegan breakfast we’ve had. In such a cute part of Pasadena too. Went here on two different occasions and the menus were expansive, for both vegan and non vegan options. the service was impeccable, everyone was so friendly and helpful, the coffee never got too low before a top off, and sitting outside was so comfortable. I will never miss up an opportunity to eat here anytime I’m back in Los Angeles or Pasadena.

Everything hit the spot. The club sandwich was solid — toasted just right, bacon crispy, and the fries were golden and crunchy. Nothing fancy, just done right. The chilaquiles with carne asada were fire. Chips had a good bite, meat was tender, and the beans and sour cream tied it all together. Super flavorful. The chicken and waffles were on point too — crispy chicken with fluffy waffles, topped with fresh fruit and powdered sugar. Syrup brought it all together — sweet and savory combo nailed. The eggs benedict? Perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and thick bacon on a toasted muffin. The potatoes on the side were seasoned well and cooked just right. And those lattes? Super smooth, each with its own vibe — matcha, pistachio, lavender, and a regular one. They looked good and tasted even better. Overall, this place didn’t miss. I would come to San Bernardino just to eat here. I’m from the bay and I miss this place already. Pricey but worth it.

After an early morning meeting, we headed over to meet another friend at this spot. Though I had already eaten, I couldn’t resist sampling something from their menu. I opted for a lighter choice—the açaí bowl—which turned out to be absolutely perfect: fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. My friends went for heartier options, including chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, and corned beef hash—all of which looked equally delicious. While the space isn’t small, it filled up quickly with eager diners—a clear sign of its popularity. If you're in the area, this place is an absolute must-try.

I also had the spirulina latte hot and it was tasty

Nestled in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, Popping Yolk Cafe is a delightful breakfast and brunch destination that exudes a festive vibe year-round. The spacious and well-lit interior creates an inviting atmosphere perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Renowned for its delectable House French Toast, this cafe also caters to egg enthusiasts with an array of creative dishes featuring eggs in various forms—think benedicts, scrambles, omelets, and sandwiches.
I was in town for a business trip and stayed about 10 minutes from this cafe. I ended up having breakfast there twice in the same week and really enjoyed it. The selection and quality were great—you order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. Everything was delicious, and they offer unlimited coffee, even letting you take some to go. The staff is young but efficient, friendly, and very accommodating. The service was great. It’s not a fancy spot, but it’s cozy and comforting, with a nice selection of breakfast items and salads—simple but filling. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in town for business, which is quite often. It’s located in the heart of downtown Pasadena on Colorado Street, with parking available (mostly paid during the daytime, so be sure to check the signs to avoid a ticket). Highly recommend this place—the vibe is cool and inviting!

My friend and I stopped here for brunch the other day and it was so yummy! I've walked passed it before but this was the first time going in. A really cute little restaurant. They're only open for brunch (they close at 3). You order at the counter and then find a seat. There's a few tables on the outside patio area as well, with a decent amount of seating inside. They had a rather large menu with a whole bunch of benedicts, omelets, sandwiches, and sweet items like French toast. They also have a small bar so you can enjoy your meal with a mimosa or margarita, if you so choose. The service staff was friendly, the food was well flavored and the meal size itself was rather large. Great place to enjoy a brunch with friends!

Had brunch here with my friend after Eaton hike. There was a line inside to place your order and you can't sit down until AFTER you place your order. So, you can't send your friend to save a table while you wait in line. (Bummer, I know). I did notice that tables are really close to each other so you don't have any privacy to talk about sensitive subjects because the people sitting next to you can hear your conversation and you can hear theirs, obviously. So, if you need privacy, this is not the place. My friend got the California omelet meal and I got the Classic Benedict, which comes with ham and bacon. And we shared the Crunchy House French toast. Everything was delicious and super satisfying. To drink I decided to try an Ube tea and it was not what I expected. I will stick to my OJ next time. Over all, really happy with service and food, will definitely come back.

Located in Old Town Pasadena, a nice ambience to have brunch. The pulled pork eggs Benedict is so delicious you want more. Ube French toast, top notch and a definite must try. However the ube latte cold or hot needs more improvement. A place to dine in again when in the area.

We came here for brunch around noon on a Sunday. They told us the wait would be 45-55 minutes but we were seated within 10 minutes. Ordering food is the same as Urth Caffe where you order at the counter then bring your number to your table. The food was overall delicious! We got the egg salad sandwich, which was good, but the popping yolk burger was definitely my favorite. It was surprisingly really hot and juicy and the mushrooms in it were a nice addition. The only letdown was the eggs benedict with the smoked salmon but I think it was a misorder on my part, and I learned that smoked salmon and eggs don't go together. There wasn't anything wrong with the eggs or the salmon each individually. Each plate also came with a hearty portion of little breakfast potatoes and a refreshing spring mix salad. I also enjoyed by iced egg coffee a lot! It was another surprisingly delicious addition to the meal. In summary, I would come here again after knowing what's good and what to really order!

If I could give zero stars, I would. I just wanted to quickly have a coffee with dessert. I ordered a medium Italian coffee and the Chocolate Pistachio French Toast King. The coffee came in about 3–5 minutes, but the dessert took 30 minutes after I paid. Yes, 30 minutes for a dessert. Naturally, the coffee was already cold by then, but that wasn’t even the main issue. Instead of the beautiful dessert shown in the picture, I was served a plain piece of bread and some raspberries. I’ve attached photos of what it was supposed to look like and what I actually got. And by the way, it cost $22.25. I told the waiter that this wasn’t what I ordered — it was supposed to come with ice cream and chocolate. Ten minutes later, a different staff member came over (without the dessert) and told me this is how they serve it. At this point, it had already been 40 minutes since I paid. Of course, my coffee was cold. I told them I was in a hurry and asked them to please bring my dessert. Another 5–7 minutes later, they brought me the same piece of bread, but this time in a to-go bag — even though I never asked for that. They just decided on their own. In the end, I never drank the coffee because it had gone cold while I waited for the dessert. And the "dessert" itself was just a tasteless piece of bread. It wasn’t sweet, it wasn’t anything. In my opinion, this was an insult. Just awful — I don’t recommend this place to anyone. I wasted $36 including tip and left in a bad mood.

One of the better Urth locations with good vibes in Pasadena. However, I do not recommended to-go because their drinks just take way too long (15-20 minutes for a drink). I usually get their matcha but was disappointed in my latest visit when I realized the whipped cream in my drink was chunky 🥴. Not sure if it was over whipped or sitting out too long as I ordered around 9pm. For $9, I’d expect better.

Would want it to give 10 stars if I could!!! Been my favorite spot since my LA days and then I moved up north to nor cal and if there’s one thing I missed about LA is FOOD!!!!! And Urth cafe! So every time I’m down there I have to make it a priority to eat. And even after all these years Urth never disappoints me!! The food is still the same and even better! Delish, wholesome, with a plethora of vegan options and something to appeal everyone’s taste palette from their extravagant menu!!!! And the service staff is cordial and friendly as always! I also bought a bunch of loose tea this time and man is it good!! Was just disappointed they were out of the Belgian chocolate pistachio waffle both times I went, that I so badly wanted to try. But oh well, something to come back again for next thyme!!! If you’re in LA, this is a must visit spot and I promise you won’t go wrong!!

I used to really like this place — the food always felt healthy and delicious. But everything changed when I ordered delivery. Seeing that many stale carrots and browned avocados just made me feel like the restaurant isn’t what it claims to be. Is this really how you treat your delivery customers? I chose your restaurant because I believed in the healthy ingredients you promised. But honestly, I don’t think food like this does anything good for my health. If possible, let your chefs eat it themselves.

I also appreciate that if you order juice you get a whole real glass of juice and not one of those itty bitty half glasses. The coffee is also very good, it's not like the burnt cheap dinner style coffee, it's good robust coffee that actually has flavor. I've tried 3 different breakfast entrees now and all were great, but I love the pork, it's cooked to perfection.

Great food and always have new delicious sandwiches. Tried the Italian steak sandwich and it cines with melted cheese and greens and tomato slices on sourdough bread. So delicious!! Ate the whole thing.

I was disappointed to discover that the bread had changed for cold sandwiches, it was great before. Also disappointed that they no longer have hot chocolate on the menu as well. It wasn't too late, and there were VERY few options for bagels. I wanted some hot chocolate and raisin or other bagels, but no luck. Two items that I preferred, no longer on the menu. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere.

Wow things have definitely gone downhill at Panera. I used to go all the time to the one in Glendale and I happened to be in the area so decided to stop by for a quick meal. Now there are self- ordering kiosks you can use in the front if you don't want to deal with humans (which I did appreciate). I ordered my classic Fuji Apple Salad with a half sandwich and waited. I went to the beverage station- there was no ice and all of the iced teas were empty. Turns out we had to ask someone in the front for ice....and of course there was no one to be found. Some girl who worked in the back eventually came out coughing, and sadly I had to ask her for ice which she went to the back to get. Why not just restock the machine? strange. They also eventually refilled the iced tea after I asked but that also took an additional 10 minutes. Please keep in mind it was insanely hot that day, like over 90 degrees so it would have been nice if the staff kept the beverages and ice fully stocked for paying customers. Finally I got my food and I had asked for my dressing on the side when I ordered because I don't like overdressed salads, I asked the kid working at that station and he said it's there. I told him well I don't think so- so he sticks his gloved finger into my salad and rummages around- and says oh yeah we forgot. Um gross and yeah don't be rude. I later saw him with the same gloved hand touching the microwave or whatever contraption in the back. I see why people get ill from eating out.... This really made me realize, perhaps I should go back to not going to Panera anymore. I still ate my food because I paid for it and hoped for the best, but definitely will not be returning. Please train your staff properly and get the place spruced up- it's a hot mess.

This is a nice Panera Bread. It's clean and the staff is friendly. I love their Smokehouse BBQ Sandwich $9.49 and I love that it comes with chips. They offer many specials and promo codes for saving money with easy online ordering and fast pickup. A nice place to grab lunch and hang out.

The very little cheese that was on the Flatbread pizza was concentrated on one side. Which makes it look unappealing. It was also very salty. It's important to remember that people eat with their eyes first, if the food is unappealing then people won't come back. Please pay attention when preparing food to-go. The chicken take sandwich was the saving grace, otherwise this would be a 1 star review. It's a bit pricey compared to other products of the same name, but as a once in a while treat its pretty good.

Cocktail bar
Tapas restaurant
Magnolia House is a stylish establishment in Pasadena, CA that offers an eclectic menu of small plates and a focus on mixology at its bar. Families often visit after events at the nearby Rose Bowl, drawn by the Mediterranean cuisine featuring grilled meats, seafood dishes, pastas, and family-style appetizer platters. The happy hour specials are particularly popular with $5 draft beers, glasses of wine, well drinks, and house sangria.
This place is a must-visit in Pasadena. The service is always awesome, and on our most recent visit, our server made the experience even better. They were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu, offering great recommendations and making us feel really taken care of without ever feeling rushed. The food is fantastic, with a creative menu that has something for everyone. Everything we tried was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The cocktails and wine list are impressive, and even their coffee drinks are top-notch. Whether you are going for brunch, lunch, or dinner, this spot never disappoints. I have been here a few times now, and every visit has been consistently great. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a place that delivers across the board.

I’ve always wondered why this restaurant is so busy every night — and now I finally know! The Pear Blossom cocktail was bubbly and slightly citrusy with just a touch of sweetness. The light fragrance of pear made it both elegant and refreshing. The Albacore Tuna Crudo was outstanding — crispy fried onions on top and melting, juicy albacore underneath. The balance of sweetness, mint, and cilantro made each bite so flavorful and refreshing. Pairing it with the Pear Blossom was absolutely perfect. The Brussels Sprouts were also a pleasant surprise — the mix of feta, cilantro, and the unique sauce gave it a North American–Middle Eastern flair that worked beautifully. Sorry I dug into the brussel sprouts before I could take a photo! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well thought out. Definitely worth checking out!

When we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly host. So, I initially thought that the dining experience would be pleasant. But contrary to my expectation, the service wasn’t all that great. Getting a simple sauce took some time. The lady who brought out our food just ignored our request. So, I asked our server who asked the host to bring it out. This was frustrating! In addition, the burgers that we ordered were not cooked as we had requested but were prepared well-done. So, the patties were a bit dry. Also, I couldn’t believe the burgers didn’t come with anything else—no pickles or greens. So disappointing! The only thing we really enjoyed were our cocktails.

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant many years ago, returning several times during its early days. I once knew the original owner, and from the very beginning, it stood out—not only for its exceptional food but also for its consistently warm and attentive service. Over the years, the space has beautifully evolved, with thoughtfully designed expansions that elevate the overall experience. This past weekend, I revisited the restaurant after quite some time, meeting up with friends for a long-overdue gathering. The service was impeccable, the food just as delightful as I remembered, and the entire evening was made all the more enjoyable by the ambiance and company.

This place is an all-around great find, tucked away down an awesome little side street in Old Town Pasadena. The wine list and spirit menu are truly exceptional, with a thoughtful and impressive selection. The food is consistently delicious, especially for meat lovers—it is definitely a meat eater’s heaven. There are not too many options for vegans or vegetarians, but their fries are really good if you need a simple snack. There is often live music, which adds to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they have some great happy hour deals too. The staff is super friendly, and the venue has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find the perfect spot to relax. The space itself feels really original and was clearly created with a lot of love and care. Whether you are coming by for drinks, a meal, or just to enjoy the music, it is definitely worth a visit.

Met up here for a birthday dinner with my girls and we had such a nice experience! Drinks were beautiful, food and service were excellent, and the vibes were relaxed and fun, especially with the live music outside - a really great meetup spot in Old Pasadena! For drinks our party had The Empress (gin cocktail), Lavish Hibiscus (tequila cocktail), Lola Fairy Berry (vodka cocktail), and a Pineapple Coconut Mojito. Their drink presentation was definitely gram-worthy - and our party loved all of them except the Lavish Hibiscus (too bitter). But they happily exchanged it for another choice (no charge for the untouched drink) - so definitely high quality customer service here! For food we shared a bunch of their appetizers - the Mac ‘N Cheese, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Breaded Zucchini, and some fries. Everything was plated beautifully and utterly delicious- especially the Brussel sprouts - they were my fave! Our server was fantastic as well - very attentive, helpful, and friendly - my water glass was never less than half full haha! The vibes are so cute too - sort of rustic, shabby-chic style with some really beautiful paintings hanging all over the walls and splashes of color to break up the wood theme - very Old Pasadena - loved it! Truly a place to take your time and have a relaxed catch-up sesh with the gals (even on a busy weekend evening)! Prices are mid range and comparable to the surrounding area. Parking is nearby in one of the numerous public lots or on the street but that’s difficult to find in Old Pasadena. I usually use the De Lacey garage - always find a spot there and it’s super affordable!

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The waitress looked drunk and was completely inattentive, the food was disgusting and barely edible, and the prices were outrageous for what they served. The calamari was hard like elastic and are you kidding me what restaurant serves calamari with out cocktail or marinara sauce!!!!! The potato skins were microwaved potato skins!!! Burger was the only decent thing. I came here because of the positive reviews. DONT BELIEVE THEM! Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values customers and food is edible.

My wife and I went to see a mid-week jazz performance (no cover charge). Nice, cozy eclectic vibe. I ordered their chicken sandwich, which was very large. The chicken breast was panko-coated and very crispy with lettuce and tomato. Fries were good, also. The server was very attentive and helpful.

A burger was served to us on a broken plate. After raising the issue with the waitress, we were offered only a 15% discount on the burger once the bill arrived. This is completely unacceptable treatment for customers. We have been coming here regularly, but unfortunately, this will be our last visit.

Nestled in the heart of Pasadena, Andy's Coffee Shop is a delightful diner that serves up an extensive menu filled with classic American dishes. This charming spot combines a sleek yet vintage ambiance, making it a perfect place to enjoy your meal while soaking in some nostalgia. The friendly staff ensures that your coffee cup is never empty and treats you like family, creating an inviting atmosphere for all who visit. The food at Andy's Coffee Shop is simply delicious, with generous portions that leave diners satisfied.
We visited this place on a Sunday before 9 a.m., so we walked right in without a wait. I love the old school diner vibe, and this place was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was friendly and nice, and we loved our plates. The egg gravy and biscuits were especially tasty, and the English muffins were nice, soft, and fresh. Even though our food took a little while to come out, everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back!

A decent Mexican themed diner in Pasadena. I would say that Russell’s is my favorite diner in Pasadena followed by Shakers but Andy’s is a nice option if you are in the area. They have a much smaller menu compared to some of the other competitors and inside is quite small as well. They don’t have outdoor seating so everything will be indoors and if it’s crowded be prepared to wait. We had to wait about 10 minutes for our table for two to be ready for our Saturday brunch. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot however street parking is fairly easy to find in this part of town. Pricing is fair and our server was pretty nice although took quite some time for the drink refills and to check in on us. As mentioned this is more of a Mexican themed diner. All diners in Los Angeles are one of four to me. The traditional retro LA diner, the country diner, the Asian diner, and the Mexican diner. This being Mexican due to the amount of Mexican dishes on the menu, clientele, and staff. As someone from San Diego I don’t mean this is a negative thing, actually something that I really like and prefer even though I myself am not Hispanic. For my order I chose the Huevos à la Mexicana and did enjoy it although I felt that there was too much liquid, everything was a bit too wet, but still had some nice flavors. Overall, I would recommend if you are in the area and I would definitely give it another try again in the future.

A solid spot for breakfast. They have a very extensive menu that is served all day, along with lunch options after 11am. Decent portions and fair prices. The food was pretty good and well presented. I do not know how the sausage was made and it is probably better if it stays that way but it was super tasty and juicy.

I liked Andy's... Wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleased. Coming from the southern part of this country I actually enjoyed the food. The biscuits were good the gravy isn't southern basamel type gravy but it was good more of a chicken stock for mashed potatoes gravy (that's for the southers, if you know you know.) They have grits!! Which was a plus for me. Overall I liked it and plan on returning.

Nestled on Lake Ave., The Reyn is a charming little spot that perfectly embodies the essence of a classic diner and cozy coffee shop. With its inviting counter seating and laid-back atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to unwind over hearty homestyle breakfast dishes. Adorned with whimsical quote signs and simple decor, The Reyn radiates a clean and welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.
A small but impressive diner in southern Pasadena. They honestly have the best banana bread that I’ve ever had and would be a reason to visit alone, but honestly all the food is seriously delicious, the portion sizes are large, and the pricing is very fair. I would say that this diner leans more toward a Mexican diner in that they have a lot of Mexican dishes as well as clientele which being from San Diego myself I’m definitely not complaining about. Our server was extremely polite and all of our items arrived fairly quickly after ordering them. They have a large parking lot attached outback with free and easy parking however inside is very small so there’s limited seating. They do have some tables outside, but you may have to wait a bit to sit inside depending on how crowded it is. As mentioned, we started off with the Banana Bread and honestly, it was incredible. My girlfriend does not like banana bread, but loved this one which shows how good it is. For my breakfast I ordered the Ortega Supreme and got a side of hashbrowns with chili cheese on top. The omelette was very good and filled with a lot of chilies which I loved, but I was not a very big fan of the chili. It tasted too cooked, almost as if it had been in the pot too long, giving it an almost burnt flavor. Aside from that though everything else was very good and we already are eager to visit again. I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of diners or is searching for a great breakfast or lunch option in Pasadena.

I had such a great experience at The Reyn Coffee Shop in Pasadena! I ordered the Italian Sausage omelet with tater tots and banana bread, and everything was delicious.

One of my top three go-to breakfast spots. They have incredible hashbrowns and make eggs as ordered. Big portions here, but no complaints on that front :) Banana bread is bomb. They also have decent grits which is a rarity around here (caution: if you are a southerner like myself, you do have to dress them yourself, but still nice to have them on the menu as an option).

EDIT: I visited The Reyn today with my partner for breakfast, expecting a nice meal but left feeling disappointed. From the moment we sat down, we felt rushed. We placed our order right away, and my partner specifically asked for her hashbrowns to be very well done. The server seemed fine with the request, so we expected it would be no issue. However, when her food arrived, the hashbrowns were barely cooked. She sent them back, hoping they’d come out right on a second try. It ended up taking a full 10 minutes, and we had to remind them before the dish was finally returned—by which point we were about ready to leave. To add to the frustration, the hashbrowns still came back undercooked. When we went to pay, we mentioned the experience to the manager (bald, wearing a button-down shirt). Rather than being understanding or offering an apology, he just explained “how hashbrowns are cooked” and then brushed us off, asking us to pay without acknowledging our frustration. I don’t expect much, but his response left a sour impression. Two stars only because the food was edible, but I’m not planning on coming back. The service was disappointing from start to finish. ————— We visited The Reyn for breakfast for the first time and we weren’t disappointed. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was attentive and great. While the coffee was mediocre, everything else made up for it. They’re well known for their homemade banana bread, which was delicious and didn’t taste overly sweet. The old-school diner vibes, complete with Snoopy decor, were charming and nostalgic. It's a small place, but there's plenty of parking in the back and on the street. They also have a few outdoor seating spots, but I suggest you try to eat at one of the booths indoors to truly get a feel for the place. Highly recommend!

Little Flower Bakery is a charming cafe and candy kitchen located on the outskirts of town, offering a delightful mix of baked goods, confections, and eclectic fare. The cozy space invites guests to savor bakery classics like almond croissants, daily scones, and blueberry bran muffins alongside unique treats such as sea salt caramels. This gem in Pasadena also serves up hot and cold sandwiches, rice bowls, salads, and breakfast options for a satisfying dining experience.
I think I have a crush on Little Flower. I don't live in Pasadena, so I came across it one day and decided to try it out due to the good reviews. It is such an adorable little place, and despite being right off the freeway, it some manages to maintain it's quaintness and peace even that close to the 134. The pastries are what makes it shine. I am addicted to the almond croissant. it is flaky and although it has a generous dusting of powdered sugar, it still manages to not feel overly sweet. It is absolutely delish as was the cinnamon roll with pecans and raisins and the shortbread. I also had the scramble with fennel and sausage and I LOVED it. They have a subtlety that isn't too heavy handed with just a touch of parmesan cheese. My aunt got the Green Goddess salad and loved it and the quiche and strata were awesome too. The strata was remarkable with brocolli, tomato, the perfect combination of veggies and cheese, hearty and filling and such a generous portion my mom and I split it. They also have a wonderful assortment of candies, sauces, honey and beans. Little Flower has definitely become one of my go-tos that I must visit whenever I am in Pasadena. I highly recommend it.

First time here. Impressions: Cute looking little cafe, with too much going on. Merchandise is cool and interesting. Coffee is okay. Pastries are sweet, presentation needs improvement, it didn’t taste fresh to me. The brownie is technically good, but it needs more body. The chocolate sea salt cookie wasn’t crunchy or chewy, a NO for me. The chocolate cake with coffee buttercream felt like it was made out of a cake mix from the store, and the buttercream did not taste good. It needs work, buy it has potential. Less items and more precision its needed. Quality over quantity. More creativity would help as well.

A great staple cafe with fresh food and baked goods. Also a go to spot for knick knacks and quick gifts. They are known for their candies and marshmallows but it holds an eclectic collection of items. The place is small with limited seating but it is a cute place to get away to.

While the cleanliness of the shop and the convenience of the little store inside for ordering are positives, my experience at this brunch spot was somewhat underwhelming. The setup, where you order first and then find a table, can be a bit chaotic, especially during busy weekends when tables are hard to come by. Although the food was decent, it didn't quite meet my expectations, and the service left something to be desired. Overall, while it's an okay option for brunch, the mediocre service and hassle of finding a table mean that I won't be returning in the future.

I came for caramels and left with a full breakfast. Their breakfast burrito is simple and perfect—eggs, bacon, and the right amount of salsa. The house marshmallows are dangerously soft. You can watch them package candy behind the counter sometimes. It feels like a neighborhood kitchen that also happens to make incredible sweets

We adore this place. It’s more than just a bakery and a café. It’s a great pitstop at the top of Eagle Rock just off 134/210 on the edge of Pasadena, for any time of day or reason. It’s also throwback to better times, when unique gift shops would have seasonal displays and gift ideas for the holidays or any occasion. We pop in for fresh baked goods, lattes, and tea. We also stock up on their homemade sea salt caramels. They are about to decorate for Halloween this week and I can’t wait to see all the goodies! One surprise little treat I just enjoyed: a baked apple cider doughnut with chunks of apple. It was delicious! Their brownies and cookies are also great.

So, so disappointing... My husband and I came here for several early dates and have such fond memories of going here. We loved this place and really wanted to continue to cherish it (it's just so darn cute!). However, recently we've only had disappointing experiences. The quality of food has really gone down, flavor isn't anything to write home about, prices have gone up, and worst of all: the staff seems to have such an apathetic attitude at best and are outright rude at worst. We came here for the nostalgia on an anniversary, and left feeling so disappointed and with a sad flavor in our mouths, literally and otherwise. I think it's time to retire coming to Little Flower after all. :(

The restaurant offers over 14 different types of pancakes, including favorites like Buttermilk and Chocolate Chip, as well as signature breakfasts such as the Rooty Tooty Fresh N Fruity. In addition to pancakes and omelettes, IHOP also serves delectable desserts like Fruit Crepes and Ice Cream Sundaes.

Food was good, as per IHOP standards. Ambiance was great too (I took my parents on a Wednesday morning), but service was just ok. Blanca (our server) was in a rush to do everything so we felt pressured to order as quickly as possible, to pay as quickly as possible and (the tablet where the server swipes one's credit card to pay already had 20% selected as a tip by default by the time she handed it to me, I think she did that herself) to select the tip option as quickly as possible. I've worked in the service industry myself so I always tip regardless of how good or bad the service is. I quickly lowered it to 18% but it should have been 15% due to how rushed Blanca was for me to do everything. Other than that, not a bad spot to grab breakfast.

All for $15 something. Kids also eat free starting at 4pm.

I went at night time. About 3:00 in the morning where there's only one cook and one service person, but they both did an excellent job! Food was super on point! I got the banana Foster crepes. So glad they brought their banana syrup back. Even if you're not a fan of bananas you have to give that a try. I'm not and yet I love the banana flavor of their syrup LOL

DISGUSTING !!!!!! 🤮 Today I ordered breakfast for my mother. It was a to go order. I noticed something moving around in the container. When I looked closely I noticed a FLY flying around inside the sealed container ! Gross 🤮. I returned it immediately. When I explained what happened to the young lady. A manger came out. He had NO sense of urgency. He asked, how can he help me. Even though he was told by the cashier. His lack of concern was as if it was a common occurrence. I will NEVER eat there again. If I could give ZERO stars I would!!!!

This Denny's is a clean and tidy restaurant that offers delicious American comfort food, such as all-day breakfast favourites. The food is great whether you order it to takeout or eat in, and the servers are always friendly. Parking can be found in the back lot.
Really good vegetarian burger 🍔 patties. And the onion rings and fries are delish! service is perfection!

A couple years ago I would have said Denny’s was expensive. Now the prices to dine out are all roughly the same. The kids menu and the 55+ menu are a great deal. Everything else expect to be around $15 and $4 for coffee. Only gripe I had was that the bacon was well done. I like some crunch in my bacon but these strips were all crunch!

Had a late dinner here and was very impressed with their hospitality. Everyone was very friendly especially our server, Irene, who provided us with exceptional service. The food was great except for the T-Bone steak which was not up to par for the price. Ample parking, easy location right off the highway.

Extremely poor customer service, our waiter came rushing to get our order, I wasn't even done when she skipped to my son. The last time we saw her was when she brought the food. My son had to stand up to get napkins, sauce and creamers for the coffee. The food was ok.

Einstein Bros. Bagels is the ultimate breakfast destination for those who lead a fast-paced lifestyle but still crave deliciousness. With an impressive variety of bagels and new menu additions like breakfast burritos and sandwiches, there's something to satisfy every palate. The cozy atmosphere shared with Peet's Coffee makes it a perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends while enjoying freshly baked treats like muffins, cookies, and turnovers.
Best bagels in Pasadena!!! You will taste the difference from store bought or even Panera. They are fresh and light. This place makes a perfect Sunday morning of any day. Not close to where I live but is well worth the drive.

It’s my first time back after several years. There are new breakfast items including breakfast burritos and sandwiches. They still have muffins, cookies and turnovers. The nova lox was delicious but I really loved my apple cinnamon bagel with plain cream cheese. The shared space with Peet’s makes it a nice neighborhood hangout spot.
Susanna S — Google review
The bagels here are incredibly chewy and flavorful—some of the best I’ve had! I always cut them in half and toast them in the air fryer for about three minutes. The result is a perfect crispy outside with a soft, chewy inside. I usually spread cream cheese on top and enjoy it with a cup of coffee, which makes for a truly happy morning. On special days, I add smoked salmon and capers, and it honestly feels like a gourmet breakfast that rivals any restaurant. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a satisfying and cozy start to their day!

I’ve enjoyed 3 different toasted breakfast sandwiches this week and each one was fresh, filling, and so full of flavor. The bagels are perfectly chewy, light, and add a burst of flavor. I had the All Nighter and added avocado - probably wouldn’t have liked it as much without it. My favorite was the seemingly basic Bacon Avocado tomato egg white sandwich. Every sandwich is perfectly paired with a flavorful sauce/smear and I loved the Santa Fe Egg White sandwich for that reason. My third trip there I ordered the Energy spritz drink which a monster energy drink blended with dragonfruit - I wish Monster sold this combination!!!

Dots Cafe is a beloved neighborhood spot that has evolved from a cupcake shop to a full-fledged cafe, offering an array of delectable treats. The cheerful ambiance and diverse menu make it a popular choice for locals seeking indulgence and convenience. While still renowned for its cupcakes, including flavors like Meyer Lemon and Dulce de Leche, the cafe now serves breakfast and lunch daily, with family-style meals available to go.
I came in after a DMV appt (Pasadena location) and it was great. I grabbed toast with berries and cream cheese and a Rose Latte with almond milk. Very nice spot to stop by and grab a coffee. Next time I will have to try a cupcake.

I love coming here for breakfast and cupcakes. So tasty and light flavors..I have tried most cupcakes and nothing is too sweet or over powering...today I tried the bakers choice of BP&J cupcake...as a person who doesn't enjoy peanut butter too much it was amazing..the way the peanut frosting blended with the jelly it was so yummy! I also grabbed a daily special with a vanilla latte and a bacon breakfast sandwich! They also offer meal preps and lunch! I love their small gift area also for cute mini honey jars and miscellaneous things like candles and dog toys!

Place looks cute, but not a fan of the food or drink, it was okay edible and definitely over priced for underwhelming no wow factor, staff were not memorable. The taste and flavor are off with the food and drink, it was a long wait yet not worth the wait and there was no line inside either. The coffee beans had a dull after taste, not flavorful for me. The cupcakes looks better than it taste unfortunately, it was dry, great decoration and photos though, it got my foot in the door, however that was it. I really wanted to like this place and find a new gem, but not it sadly. Free parking lot, but limited spaces.

Don't even know that Dots cafe sells family meals until my cousin tells me about it. My wife and I decided to try their Father's Day dinner special. For $130, I think it is worth it, the amount of food can last for 2-3 days. The ribeye has great flavor, tender and easy to chew, especially for my kids. The salad is refreshing. Potato Gratin and the Spinach Cream are a little on the salty side. The peanut chocolate dessert is excellent, moist and flavorful, not too sweet. I will definitely try their weekly dinner meals when I am too lazy to cook.

There is almost nothing I enjoy more than the perfect breakfast burrito. I’ve combed through a lot of LA and had countless renditions, dots is very high on my list of favorites. I got the ultimate breakfast burrito and it was delicious I’ve already been back a second time. The eggs were fluffy and creamy and pared perfectly with the cheese and avo as any true Californian appreciates. What can’t be looked passed is the crispness of the bacon. No soggy bacon here. Reasonably priced, totally worth it given the taste and portion sizes. Also pictured is the ultimate breakfast sandwich another very solid option that will not disappoint, pro tip add the sundried tomato mayo. I’ve yet to eat the cupcakes but if they are anything close to the breakfast they will be the cherry on top of a perfect meal. Overall dots is a great location for a brunch and for those who have sweet teeth like me. The bright floral aesthetic and calming vibes make for a great start to a lazy Sunday.

A day may come when I get enough sleep and don’t need coffee but today is not this day. Saturdays are for brunch adventure. So without further ado let’s do this café review. My Place Café is an eclectic neighborhood café serving organic roast and a small breakfast. It’s cute interior decor is imbued with wall frames and message boards. Moreover, they have cute front outdoor patio. They’re located in a tiny corner plaza between E. Woodbury and Los Robles avenue. I was ebulliently greeted by Latanya, owner, and she explained their menu ardently. Their menu may look overwhelming and nebulous but on the contrary it’s very direct and simple. I end up ordering an oatmeal, iced coffee and turkey, veggie scrambled eggs on butter croissant. After I paid at the counter, they brought my drink and food at the front patio. My iced cold coffee (whole milk and splenda) was refreshing. Turkey croissant sandwich and oatmeal were warm, tasty and flavorful. Service was warm and on point. Staff were amiable, followed health protocol and professional. Prices were fair and competitive. Free Wifi. Parking was easy. In this voluminous review, it’s time to make a remark about this café. Overall, I had a really good experience and whole heartedly enjoyed my meal/drink. I highly recommend this café spot.

We stayed at this hotel from September 10th to 14th. Overall, it was a decent stay, but unfortunately, upon checking out I accidentally left behind some hair tools and a gold necklace that holds great sentimental value, both stored in the same drawer. When we called the hotel the next day, the hair tools were located, but the necklace was not. This felt quite concerning, given that both items were left in the same place. I would strongly advise future guests not to leave any valuables in the room, as it seems housekeeping may not be entirely trustworthy, expected more from a 5 star hotel

Great place for a quick getaway! The entire staff is very welcoming and there for any of your needs. The spa amenities such as the sauna, steam room and gym are an added plus. Tennis court and pools are amazing! The property and views are absolutely beautiful. It was very peaceful and felt private, the history of this site is one to look into. Location is great and minutes away from The Huntington Library and Old Pas. The rooms are pretty standard, we honestly expected more. Our shower did not drain efficiently, the water was ankle high seconds into the shower. There was no outlets open or accessible for the coffee machine provided. If I'm being extra picky, one of the nightstands with the built in plugs wasn't plugged in either (again no outlets available for this). There is no self-parking on site as well. Another downside was the food sadly. Food was very underwhelming for the value... I personally would consider it very overpriced for what it is. We ended up ordering ubereats pretty often during our stay when we stayed in. Drinks were great, shout out to Garrett at the bar! Aside from a few small things that are easily tolerable, I would definitely stay here again! Everyone on staff and the property is amazing!

The valet doesn’t know the restaurant hours so you park and walk through entire hotel to find the restaurant closed after lunch. The pool bar is an option and friendly but the bar area mirrors were streaked with dirty dish rags, shelving hold stock beverages were bending from too much weight, and there is no door exit to the front valet so you have walk a football field length hallway to leave…oh, you have go get validation from their own hotel and parking service.

Barbecue restaurant
Gus's BBQ in South Pasadena has been a beloved family-friendly spot since 1946, serving up slow-cooked BBQ classics over pecan logs. Located on historic Route 66, the menu is filled with traditional Southern dishes like Memphis baby back ribs and pulled pork tostadas. The restaurant also offers an impressive selection of whiskies, wines, cocktails, and local craft beers.
Old school vibes but well kept and clean. Our server Phillip N is great. Food wise, ribs and smoked sausages are tender and juicy, hot chicken is also flavorful, all the sides are good. The only thing is the brisket is kinda dry. But overall the experience was great and good value for money. Highly recommended.

If you’re craving real Southern-style barbecue in the LA area, Gus’s BBQ in Pasadena hits the spot. This place has been around for years, and it shows in all the right ways. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just rustic enough to feel authentic without trying too hard. Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the vibe is always inviting and relaxed. Let’s get to the food: it’s legit. The brisket is tender and smoky with that perfect bark on the outside—exactly how you want it. The pulled pork is juicy and full of flavor, and the ribs? Fall-off-the-bone and packed with that deep, slow-cooked taste. They really know how to do low and slow here. Portions are generous, too, so come hungry. One thing that really stood out for me was the variety of sauces—sweet, spicy, tangy—they let you customize the experience without overdoing it. You can tell they take pride in their recipes. Also, the sides aren’t just an afterthought like in some BBQ spots. The mac and cheese is creamy and rich, the baked beans have that smoky-sweet punch, and the cornbread? Soft, buttery, and served warm. They also have great drink options—a full bar with solid cocktails and a decent beer list. The bourbon peach sweet tea was a standout. Perfect for a summer afternoon. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server knew the menu well and gave us good recommendations without rushing us. Even on a busy night, everything came out on time and hot. ⸻ Gus’s BBQ is a Pasadena staple for a reason. Solid barbecue, awesome sides, great service, and an atmosphere that feels both cozy and classic. Whether you’re a BBQ purist or just want a good meal with friends or family, it delivers every time. Definitely worth the drive if you’re coming from elsewhere in LA

First time here everything was good but not much better than most BBQ. Large portions and a good ceasar. In fact that was the highlight. Large 23oz beer was worth the extra cost. We had the ribs plus 2 meats and it was more than we could both split. Children's portion was also substantial. No problem parking but not an abundance. Make sure you get a reservation. I'm told the wait can be long

The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent; the staff was welcoming and attentive throughout. I ordered the Cookie Milk Iced Coffee, which unfortunately wasn’t my favorite. But the team handled it wonderfully—they immediately offered to swap it out for another drink or give me a refund. That kind of kindness and professionalism goes a long way. Overall, a really good spot for Tex-Mex with friendly service and a laid-back vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Highland Park!

I tried their new beef taco, as well as the chicken, potato, and brisket. I really wish that I can say they are great, but I cant tell. I received my order after 20 mins, after I asked about my order, and it turns out my order was sitting on the counter for a bit. The tacos where soggy and just slightly warmed. It made the experience, a bad one. The flavors are there, Im sure if my order would have been given to me at the correct time they would have been good.

Yeah, it’s pricey as others have said. But good value, tacos are meaty, drinks are strong, service is fast and accommodating. You can buy 3 tacos somewhere else for the price of one here, but the one here is thick and you only need one. Same with the Margs, one and you’ll catch a buzz. You don’t need 3 surgery lemonades like other places to reach your happy state. Food, drinks, service is consistent and when it’s not any comment or complaint I’ve ever had is rectified immediately and professionally. That’s all a customer wants, value, consistency and issues addressed. Home state delivers. I think the HLP one does it better than most, the staff there is aces and the patio is a good hang.

The tacos and food are tasty and made fast. The hibiscus limeade is $5 but free refills. And it tastes very good. The brisket is quality meat (not fatty) and shredded so easy to eat on the taco or brisket loaded queso ($10) w chips. I wish the loaded queso w brisket were more filled with pico de gallo bc it was mostly cheese and a little brisket. The tacos are good especially bc the homemade flour tortilla is very good (chewy and toasted w butter). Seating is convenient on picnic tables. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Great vibe and lots of Vegan options. Street parking only. The place is super close to highland bowling in the same side. Love that they give you drinks and water in glass cups. Oh and their homemade tortillas are also sold in a bag for $8.

Chicken & Brisket Taco + Modelo for $20+ is ugly. Tacos were bomb. Price could be cheaper. It's bittersweet honeslty. I trust the cooks because they're my people (Latino/Latina) pero price wise too much. Not bad for Tex Mex but could be better as far portion size which was weak. Like if I'm paying 5 or 6 bucks for 1 taco hook that shit up. Overall 7.1 out of 10.

I hadn't been here in a while. I had forgotten how delicious the food is. I had the breakfast burrito and it tasted amazing 😋 I especially love the green salsa they give with it. I will be back. I also like that they have parking in the back 👍

If you’re looking for a fresh hearty American breakfast this is the spot. You can taste the freshness in every bite of their food. We got the Turkey club, breakfast croissant and avocado fries. The portions were all fair and very filling. The avocado fries was my favorite, you can tell they make it all in house and the acidity of the lemon kept every bite refreshing. One downside is the price is a little too high for the type of food. If it was 5 dollar cheaper overall I think I would have been happy.

My go to spot for a great breakfast or lunch! Literally everything I’ve ever gotten here has been fantastic. The breakfast burrito, avocado toast, spamwich, and any of the burgers are untouchable. The hash brown au gratin is a must order. The service is always friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend :)

This place looked nice and the sandwiches looked so good but I made the mistake of ordering the breakfast burger which was a sloppy mess and the bottom bun was completely greasy. I would go again but I wouldn’t order a burger there. I also gave the service a 4 star because they brought the two orders for me and my mom 10 minutes apart.

The Lincoln Motel is a small motel in north Pasadena. It has a patio with green picnic tables, cream-colored brick walls, exposed white wood beams, and an open kitchen. The motel specializes in candies and pastries and has a counter where customers can order them.
Really nice rooms considering the location, probably not the best place to go for an evening walk, but as long as your at the Lincoln, you won't notice..really nice though, definitely didn't expect the rooms to look like they did, very clean, microwave, refrigerator,..I'll definitely be coming back, especially at they're prices..thanks Lincoln motel!

The rumors are true. Meth heads all over. Bedbugs are available. I called ahead of time. At first, he said it's $80 per night. When you come in, he charges you $120 per night. Hot shower lasted for 10 minutes. Was cold last night heater didn't work. The cable is cut off at 9 am in the morning.

it’s horrible. i don’t know if it was just my room, but there were peoples unused items still there, dirty sheets, dirty pillows, dirty mattress, mold in the showers, loud screams and moans, lots of drug deals, lots of hookers, toilet paper that hasn’t been switched out, un clean toilets. it’s not just unsanitary it’s unsafe. just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it keeps you safe.

Fantastic service, great food options. They have a regular menu and then an entire vegan menu with vegan egg Benedict options! So delicious, I think they could use better quality vegan meats but all in all it absolutely hit the spot for my Benedict craving I have been having as a long time vegan. We loved the food and drinks, the staff were polite and the outdoor seating was pretty good. Parking was easy. Love that carnivores and vegans can eat here together.

The service here is incredibly terrible. You could be sitting outside for hours without anyone approaching you. When you do finally get to order somehow, they just drop it off and no one checks on you afterwards at any point to make sure everything is ok etc. You have to chase and flag someone down for everything you need. they are not attentive at all. They do not refill waters etc. My quiche today was cold, watery and gross and when I I told the server she still charged me for it. Not even an apology. I will not be returning here. I left hungry after having paid for the full quiche and tip.

Poor experience at this spot today. It was a Sunday morning and I did give the employees the benefit of the doubt because they were busy. However, we spent far too long in this restaurant because of how long every step of the experience took. Upon entry there was no employee there to help us even though many were walking past us without acknowledgement. When we got someone's attention they said to "sit at an open table". We ordered our coffees and water and (without exaggeration) it took almost 20 minutes for it to show up. We asked about the drinks and the waiter said "yah we're busy". I understand where he's coming from but there's better ways of handling these situations. When we did get our drinks my jaw actually dropped because they brought my coffee to me in a to go cup even though the other drinks in my party were brought in glassware. So odd. Food is below average in my opinion too. Croissant sandwich was flat and pretty boring and the salad was basically dry lettuce. The only time we had anyone check on us the whole time was to drop off our food and make us pay. Not the best time here. Probably won't be back.

Overall good experience. Consistent with other chain locations. Ham & Gruyère plate is good and the mustards the accompany are a nice addition. Small salad is well dressed. Interiors are a big noisy when crowded, so if trying to do a little work or have a meeting, keep that in mind. Good environment for families taking a break from shopping.

The eclectic decor reflects the company's mid-90s origins, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Jones Coffee Roasters (est 1993) is a family run coffee company in Pasadena. I have been to their other shop on Mission street but this location on Raymond avenue is absolutely chic and artsy with cool atmosphere; it’s indoor decor has a rustic look and dim lit which is a perfect coffee date spot to bring someon3. Staff were competent and professional and drinks are reasonably priced. They have a compendious selection of coffee from blends to seasonal to decafs. Similarly, they have coffee bean bags, mugs, and decanter for sale. have plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. I had a hot Latte w/ whole milk. And it was perfectly made to my liking. Parking lot and street parking are available albeit very limited. I was lucky that I found a street parking spot. Overall, I enjoyed my coffee and their service. I’d definitely come back. I highly recommend this coffee shop.

Great coffee spot in Pasadena! During my Pasadena visit, I came across Jones Coffee Roasters. The cafe is very artsy with art all throughout. Very fun vibe! The menu consist of your basic coffee options, latte, espresso, Americana etc.. If you’re not a coffee lover, there are non coffee options. There's pastry options as well if you need a quick bite. I got an iced vanilla latte which was perfect and a warm buttered croissant. Yum! There's plenty of parking which is always a big deal for me. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well. Go check it out!

Probably one of my favorite coffee spots in Pasadena. After seeing the new interior renovations, it appears to be a great lounge, wine spot. I had their matcha latte with whole milk. It had the perfect temperature, flavor and it was a well made morning drink. Overall a delicious start to the day. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking can get crowded during peak times, fyi.

I want to start off by saying this place has excellent coffee. The espresso is amazing. However, the matcha is not it. It’s usually okay. However, today I got a cup of mostly warm milk. It was barely green, and it was more like a hint of matcha. So I paid 6+$ for a cup of warm milk with a hint of matcha. Basically if you go here, get a coffee based drink, and you’ll be happy.

We live in LA and go to old mill foundation here sometimes, I always want to get a coffee on our way but so far we weren’t able to find nice coffee shop until today! Just randomly stoped by at this place and it was amazing, first it is a really beautiful older coffee shop with nice outside seating and filled with history of the place and sense of community inside, we god coffees and matcha and all tasted great! Service was nice and restrooms clean. So it will be our new favorite spot!

I was looking for light-to-medium roasted beans for espresso without any milk. I am a skilled espresso barista and know what coffees I like. I bought three different kinds of beans from Jones, and none of them had good coffee highlight flavors. Most were over-roasted, but some we still reasonably light but lacked the flavors I expected from their origins. I wanted to like them, but I need to find a different and better roaster.

Great place to get some coffee and do some work. Open space with an industrial vibe. Lots of seating indoors and out. Next to a few other businesses including a takeout pizza place. No wifi, which is actually really nice for focused work. Spotted some outlets so you can still bring your computer. Decently sized parking lot but it’s a very popular location so you might need to park on the street, part of the lot is taken for outdoor seating. Dog friendly, lots of greenery. Nice staff and decent prices. I tried a savory croissant (sage and cheddar I think?) and the lavender oat latte. Croissant was pretty tasty, a bit oily. Latte was a bit too sweet for me, but still good. Would definitely come back and try other things on the menu.

I ordered an iced coffee. It tasted very good. The interior was interesting, even though the deco is not to my taste. Limited parking space (they created a patio in the parking area) and no a/c were backdrops when I rate this place. The croissant is dried.

This charming corner of Pasadena (pun intended!) is a welcoming place for great coffee, sandwiches, and pasta bowls that rival big chain Italian restaurants. Mr. Javier, the manager, deserves plaudits for being kind and graceful to all customers. His special cinnamon coffee creations are delicious.

I really wanted to like this place, but my first visit left me disappointed. The food was okay—not bad, but not great either. The highlight for me was the coffee, which I actually enjoyed a lot. The atmosphere was just okay as well. There was a fly buzzing around our table, which was distracting. Since the door was left open, flies were coming in and out, and that was a little annoying. On top of that, the service was not great. Our food took about 50 minutes to come out, which feels too long for a café. By the time we finished eating, we still hadn’t received our coffee and had to remind the staff a couple of times before it finally came. Considering they weren’t that busy, this was frustrating and took away from the experience. Overall, I will not be going back and not worth it.

My first visit the manager was so friendly and helpful. Now I come back whenever in the area. Not a fan of the menu but Ive experienced breakfast and lunch dinner combos. My last couple of visits the breakfast burrito was cut in half ( not by my request) and stuffed in a plastic container that melted so I only ate the inside which was bland and flavorless. The pastas I’ve had are also bland & flavorless. That melted plastic also happens with hot sandwiches, this is dangerous for our health. Most of the time the staff is helpful and friendly but not consistently. Hit or miss here so far.

There's a reason that this popular restaurant receives so many five-star reviews. When you open the door you are greeted with a friendly hello by the GM and the grill master. I asked for suggestions from among their popular sandwiches and ordered the California chicken club and a side of garlic fries. Both were excellent. The aroma of the fries and the chicken club was evident as they packed them for take out. Both were made fresh while we waited. We were there at noon and the lunch rush was just starting. Tables were available inside and a small number outside. The sandwich and garlic fries were delicious. I look forward to trying more menu items. The french toast being taken to one table looked excellent! This restaurant is located within Roosevelt Place, with plenty of parking available.

I visited for the first time with a friend who had pre-ordered a high-protein breakfast burrito made with a spinach tortilla, egg whites, chicken, avocado, and a few other tasty ingredients I can’t quite recall 😅. It was flavorful—though a bit more charred than I typically prefer, I can appreciate the style. Our visit was short but memorable. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with fresh bread being delivered and the team clearly enjoying themselves. The person at the register was kind and even threw in some extra salsa, which was delicious. Perfect simple breakfast on a chilly fall morning. I’m already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu!

If I’m ever driving by I have to stop and get one of my most favorite sandwiches the succulent chicken hoagie! The staff is always friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My second go to is the power plate when I’m on my Keto diet.

Grade A (95): Very good food. I usually get the Chicken Hoagie which is DELICIOUS! Update: We went for breakfast on a Saturday, I'm not much of a breakfast guy but for an "American Breakfast" you can't beat the place. Their pancakes, French Toast, Eggs Bacon, amazing. They are very responsive to orders and exceptions on your order. See the pictures, I don't need to say more. Original: An asset for Pasadena. This is my go to place. Been coming here for almost 30 years, very dependable, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" Chicken Hoagie is the best Chicken sandwich anywhere, I just get it with lettuce tomato mayonnaise. Also the Philly cheese steak is very authentic. The owner, Shahan knows everyone on a first name basis. His son Shant, chip off the old block. Even a couple of the cooks have been there since the beginning, that says s lot about the management. I love this place.

My friend told me this spot had the best salad & I ended up getting their cheesesteak instead. I tried a small portion of his salad and it was phenomenal phenomenal. The customer service was excellent, felt like a local neighborhood restaurant where they all would know their regulars. I had their Philly cheesesteak and zucchini fries. The Philly cheesesteak was delicious, wish it had more cheese but the beef quality, flavor was excellent overall. The zucchini fries were good and the ranch sauce took it over the top. Their condiment/pickeled section is also the best part. Try their pickled carrots, jicama, pickles and other stuff. I highly recommend this spot. I’d definitely come back here again and try their other items. Solid spot that my friend recommended!

Nestled in Pasadena, Seed Bakery is a charming establishment that has been delighting locals since its inception in late 2015. Founded by Joseph Abrakjian, this bakery embodies the essence of traditional baking with an emphasis on whole grains. The heart of Seed Bakery is its impressive Bongard four-deck oven, where loaves are crafted using freshly milled flour from grains like spelt, rye, and kamut—sourced directly from sacks stacked along the walls.
Was early for an event at the Rose Bowl and found this a short distance away. Super high quality baked goods made on site and served by the owner herself! Was impressed with the apple pastry and fresh baguette. The baguette held up well for hours and was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The apple taste was not too sweet and the pastry buttery and flaky. No dining area, pickup only (for now). bought a bag of their granola too, haven't tried it yet but price was $10 and the bag was heavy, which bodes well for the value.

The best bakery on earth. The bread is fantastic and the pastries are life changing. They always have new, unique and seasonal pastries, many which use local produce. They also have the best croissant in America. The raspberry or berry croissants are great too. It’s hard to choose which pastry to get because there are so many great ones. Get there early—they will sell out of some things by 10 AM on the weekend.

I wish I could give this place six stars!! Food is amazing. We literally forgot to take some photos of the pastries because they were eaten too quickly! I see some comments about staff; our experience with the staff was amazing. They were helpful, kind, and patience. They engaged in genuine, heart felt conversations, and were sweet overall. They had great COVID safety protocol. The amazing baked goods could be seen through the window on the street front. Outside distanced line to a safe order window. We grabbed a plum pastry, strawberry pastry, almond croissant, pistachio muffin, and a couple others…it was about $35. There is a parking lot behind the location. It can be a tough to spot the entrance on the street; it is at the north east corner of the building.

The sourdough here has that deep, roasty crust you hear crackle when you squeeze it. I grabbed a loaf and an almond croissant—both were excellent.

Starbucks is a renowned coffeehouse chain originating from Seattle, offering its distinctive roasts, light snacks, and WiFi access. Customers often praise the fast and friendly service provided by the baristas at various locations. The stores are described as clean and well-lit with ample outdoor seating options. Many patrons appreciate the considerate and kind staff who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience for visitors. Despite busy mornings, customers commend the team's excellent customer service, positive attitude, and efficient service.
This Starbucks is staffed by the best personnel I've ever engaged with at the hundreds of Starbucks I've been to in my life. Everyone was so pleasant, going out of their way to make sure my dog had a bowl of water, a pup cup, they kept checking on me outside, kept the place super clean, and they even have for-here ceramic cups instead of plastic or paper. Loved it.

They BLAST music at high volume all the time lately. I used to come here every morning to have a coffee and chill for a few minutes because it’s the only place nearby open before 8am but it’s impossible to do that now because the employees are blasting loud music all the time. I emailed corporate about it and they said they’d send a message to the store manager but that was weeks ago and nothing has changed.

Atmosphere 1 star because I use the drive thru. This Starbucks is ideal because it has a drive thru but I’m disappointed with the drinks. I have a bad coffee from here before and had another one today. I ordered the iced shaken espresso. It tasted burnt. I can’t tell if it’s a bad espresso shot or cold brew that was used. I went back for a remake and it didn’t taste any better. Just sweeter. Check on your espresso machines and pull the shots properly. The drinks are already overpriced. Can I have what I paid for

This is a great Starbucks location! I've never had a bad experience. The baristas are fast and friendly. The store is clean and bright with plenty of outdoor seating on their well shaded patio. My wife and I always stop here to pick up road trip beverages when we are heading out of town. On my most recent visit I happened to be in need of a place to hang out while I waited for my tires to be changed at the nearby tire shop. When I ordered my drink the barista asked what I was up to that day. He was not surprised when I mentioned the tire change appointment and said they hear that a lot. The tire shop actually recommended that I go to Starbucks to wait for my car to be ready. Over the next hour and a half I saw people working on laptops, couples on coffee dates, and regulars chatting with the staff about their lives. It was a really nice environment to just chill and pass the time.

I was interested in stopping by and seeing what this location had to offer. It is a nice place to walk to and enjoyed looking at the patio and the sit-down areas. The food was okay I'm not sure what I was expecting I enjoyed the Chris Cross cut fries. The nuggets were just okay. I had a KL salad with the Chick-fil-A dressing and it was all right also. Service was good but almost mechanical. I know it's fast food but I do like people to be themselves and show personality. I guess it's perfect if you just want food quickly. It is definitely not. inexpensive.

I have been here several times, and I would say that each time has been a miss. I have given them a chance over and over again because they are down the street from my office but at this point, I'm just wasting my money. I tried the nachos, they were soggy by the time I got back to my office, 4 minutes. Beans were okay, chicken was hard. Just below basic. Pancakes, the strawberry topping made them good. The turkey burger, a frozen patty would've been better. The salad, seemed like someone was upset and just threw it all in there and didn't care. The breakfast burrito, I have had a few times and each time it was different. Only once did I get a cheesy delicious burrito. The next time was enough to know not to order it again. No consistency. Breakfast sandwich, I was told shredded chicken could be mixed with the egg. Charged me $5 for a side of chicken, only to have a hard, chewy chicken breast tucked under the egg. I am okay with not going back to this place, no matter how much others love it and they have regulars. Guys in the back, all homeboys. Once, I asked for (and paid extra) for more salsa... one lady had an attitude like I was taking away from her. Huffed and when the guy told her to look at the receipt, she walked away and whispered something into the headset and he answered her to please just get it, all as I'm standing there watching them. At least wait for the customer to walk off before speaking about them. Just not a place I feel the need to go back to. Large inside with tables, ample parking, and they have a drive-thru.

All my life I enjoy a good bagel with cream cheese or with butter and jam or especially I enjoy with cream cheese with lox,you imagine any ingredients you can put on a bagel. This my first time at Einstein Bros Bagels trying out their bagels and their sandwiches and also their drinks. I step in it was kinda crowded people waiting for their order and others enjoying their bagels and their morning coffee.

This location offers all that other same chain store offers but has staff that is not very polite/easy to work with. I used to think they are discriminating, turns out they are just rude to everyone. When it comes to bagels, no one can top Einstein bros. and what it has to offer. They have up their game with not only a wide variety of bagels but making sandwiches out of those. The breakfast sandwich varieties are beyond delicious. One used to be able to get free coffee with purchase, nit anymore.

This is the best Einstein Bros. I've been to, and that's saying a lot. Very friendly, professional, and helpful staff. Excellent customer service, and let me tell you, I've had some weird requests). Product... I always seek out an "authentic New York Jewish bagel whenever I can. I love small, locally owned businesses rather than chains. And at first I thought "well, it's a production bagel - it won't be that good". But it was. And is. For $18 for a baker's dozen with two shmears (that's worth at least 9 bucks alone) you can't go wrong. Pro tip: whether you're bringing home or rewarding the office, ask for the bagels to be cut. Not only will folks appreciate not doing that awkward dance with the flimsy plastic knife, but some may only need a half, so why not?

I love the bagels here specially the six cheese bagels. The six cheese bagels is soft in the inside and yet a bit crunchy on the outside. I love to make ham and egg bagels for the family for breakfast. They also have a variety of flavors such as cinnamon sugar, French toast, Asiago, honey wheat and the popular such as plain, sesame seed, and others. Is hard to explain how good this bagels are, you must try them. Sometime they do run out of certain flavor; however, you can see they are continuesly making them so they are always fresh. They also have different cream cheese flavors. I know there are lots of bad reviews towards the staff. In my experience they are just doing their job. They are not the most friendly, but they are not rude. They are just busy.

This restaurant is known for its burgers, chicken, tacos and breakfast items. It is open 24 hours and has a convenient transportation. The Jack in the Box in at least one location was recently very good.

The food itself was pretty good too. Fast food in America is an incredibly competitive market due to how much competition there is, but I do have to give it to Jack in the Box in that they have so much variety, at least one thing in the menu will be of your liking.

Philz Coffee is a laid-back local chain that specializes in custom-blended coffees, teas, specialty drinks, and pastries. The story of Philz Coffee dates back to 1978 when Phil Jaber purchased a convenience store in San Francisco's Mission District. After years of experimenting, he finally opened the first Philz Coffee location.
Coffee is not a phase, it’s a lifestyle. That being said let’s start this fantastic review. Philz Coffee is a franchise company coffeehouse located within The Common Plaza in Pasadena. They specialize in customized coffee blends, made from sustainably sourced green beans from around the world, and skillfully roasted in their roasting facility in Oakland, CA. We have never tried this coffee franchise before but to our surprise they exceeded our expectation. They have a good and interesting coffee blends. I had a hot Philtered Soul, a medium & balanced blend of hazelnut, maple and caramel. It was bloody PERFECT in taste and aroma. To top it off, I added a fresh flaky Chocolate Croissant. Service was on point despite its multiple orders from local customers. Interior atmosphere was chill. Free wifi. Prices were competitive and fair. Staff were competent and professional. Overall, it’s a nice coffee shop and definitely recommend. I shall return.

My favorite coffee is the iced mint mojito with medium sugar (I find the regular sugar amount too sweet). The other drinks they offer don’t hit like the mint mojito does. It’s a special drink that I can only get at a Philz. I’m moving soon and I’m going to miss it terribly. Wait time for drinks can be long, so be mindful of that if you’re in a hurry. I usually use the app to order now because it’s always a 10 minute plus wait in-person. It’s also a great location to get work done. Tons of outlets and there is outdoor seating.

A standard big chain coffee shop. I don’t drink coffee so tried a muffin, and it was a great blueberry muffin. There’s plenty of cozy seating to get work done or just have a chill time. The staff are nice and friendly. The entire plaza has a really nice ambiance.

This Pasadena location was 2 years old . Philz personalized 30 unique blends and wanted to make sure the coffee making process embodied a personal and social feel, so he designed his own coffee station allowing for every cup to be crafted one cup at a time. This location is awesome , Philz supports local artist to allow them to display their artworks in his store.. When you walk in to the store, you can smell the coffee, enjoy the varieties of the bread and loving in this artistic environment.

I love the coffee and the celebration of diversity and inclusion here. 😄🏳️‍🌈 In addition, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Mocha Tesora (Dark Chocolate, Caramel, Cocoa. Base level is light sweet), which can be ordered with any lactose free milks as well as decaf if necessary. Plus, this drink literally drips with perfection from beginning to end.

Mint mojito iced coffee made “the house way” is the best. Such a classic with the creamy sweet flavor topped off well with minty freshness!! I am lactose but this drink doesn’t affect my stomach. I haven’t come here in awhile but it didn’t disappoint and tasted amazing like it always does! It’s hard for me to try another flavor cause the mint tastes too good!! The customer service was great, especially the barista gentleman who made our drink. He was very friendly and told us to take a sip before in case we wanted any changes before leaving. But it was perfect and no change needed! It’s always busy inside here but there are also outdoor seats if you need a quieter spot. Parking is free at the plaza across (with a time limit of course). Pricing here is average. $5.50 something for a small.

I love this coffee shop though it’s always busy. It’s the only place where I can get a creamy sweet iced mint Mojito. It’s worth the 15 minute wait!

McDonald's is a well-known fast-food chain famous for its burgers and fries. The Big Mac, with its Thousand Island sauce, is a popular choice for many customers. Some prefer the quality of the Big Mac at certain locations over other similar options. The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere with free wifi, TV, and comfortable seating after undergoing renovations. Customers appreciate the cleanliness of the establishment and praise the friendly service from staff members.
When I say this is the cleanest…. And I mean cleanest McDonald’s I’ve ever walked into! From the bathrooms, to the kitchen area, the staff, the floors, the soda area as well as the sitting area. The decorations were beautiful. You can literally eat off the floor! I love this McDonald’s I wish other McDonald’s were this clean! You can tell who ever owns this McDonald’s really care about its customers and how sanitary it is. Service was really good and staff were beyond friendly. Food was also made fresh to order! Will definitely drive here again. And here’s the really best part THE ICE CREAM MACHINE WORKS BRO!!!! They definitely sold me 😍😘🤗

After asking for extra ketchup and sauce because I got none the lady at the second window dropped the sauce. Which clearly has happened before because there were plenty of sauce packets on the ground. Then I get home and open my burger to my surprise there's a fly on it laying a larva. I get that it's busy but quality control should be a #1 priority

McDonald's here in Foothill Blvd. next to the Fwy 210 is nice and clean. Only here to dine in once in awhile after working at Domino's for lunch. The staffs are very nice also have good friends there which the names are Mercedes, Geraldine, and Brian whom they're very sweet and organized.

This McDonald's went down in service. You would think, with at least 15 people working in there, that they would be efficient. I ordered Hot Cakes and Hash Browns and generally with every location, you have to ask for ketchup. However, I drive away and lo and behold, there was no syrup. Is it required that I ask for that too? I went back to the location and told the mgr that I wasn't happy about needing to come back for something that should have been included. Her response was "Well, did you get butter and utensils?" I had a few choice words for the situation. She just blurted out "Have a good day". With the money I spent just to get these two items, I could have bought a weeks supply from the store. Apparently, enjoying food with all the proper condiments is not a priority to this McDonalds and quite frankly, I don't want to hear the excuse of the person forgetting to put the syrup in the bag. Can they maybe think of a process to implement, that would remind the person at the window to include syrup with hot cake orders??!!

This is a nice Mickey D's the service is polite and the food is consistent. They remodeled it several years ago and it since has become a nice hangout spot with free wifi, TV, soothing music and comfy furnishings. The app works well with their generous rewards program which has many awesome deals each week. The drive-thru is quick and the restrooms are clean as well. Free parking in lot.
Poly G — Google review
The food is hit or miss. They can put so much mayo in your McChicken that it's literally oozing out. The fries can either be fresh, epic, with just the right amount of salt, or stale, salty, and bland. They pay attention to their customers at this location unlike others. Soda is hit or miss too.
Phillip G — Google review
Food made my partner sick; my hamburger had the cheese practically on the outside of the bun. The bathroom was unkept, urine was allover the floor, to the point that was running outside the stalls and urinal. Salt and ketchup was provided by request. We asked to be server inside and the items were delivered in a bag. Very few parking spaces; to enter the lobby, the customer has to walk in the traffic of the drive-in, I'm surprised that they have not been people hit by a vehicle. NOT what McDonald's normally are... NOT recommend it!!

I ordered a simple coffee here today, around 11:30am. The cashier was a gal named Melanie. I thought she was very rude. Whoever owns this franchise should know that the customer experience here at this McDonald is very rude, even for a McDonalds

Starbucks is a renowned coffeehouse chain originating from Seattle, offering its distinctive roasts, light snacks, and WiFi access. While some customers have experienced discomfort due to temperature control issues at certain locations, others praise the hardworking staff and efficient drive-thru service. The limited seating encourages patrons to opt for takeout instead of dining in. Many appreciate the quick service and quality ingredients when ordering through the app or in person.
This Starbucks location was recently remodeled and is now all about the drive thru and carry out coffee business. It no longer has any tables or chairs. When I visited, there was a constant line of at least ten cars in the drive thru and there were a lot of staff members in the store. I counted eight baristas and there may have been more in the back room. It's a well oiled machine cranking out good quality coffee and tea beverages quickly. If you are heading south on Lake Ave and need a quick coffee this is your place.
Mitch W — Google review
I never leave bad reviews so it took a lot to write this! Terrible place-drink burned my tongue so bad that it still is raw several hours later. Barista seemed more interested in getting money than making a decent drink. The drink was nit even made right...Not the first time the service has been bad there. Some employees are arrogant and rude to customers. I will not go back. There are enough nice baristas and other Starbucks to visit. This locations gives the brand a bad name!

This place said they have no restrooms. So I take it that their employees run to the nearest fast food chain to use the restroom. They have a long bar with no chairs. Then why have an open a location that is not accommodating at all for walk-ins?

Even though coffee is ok it's a little pricy and they always almost force you to choose a tip $1,$2 $5 and it's better to carry just exact cash! If people like they would leave a tip esspecally they have a box for it as well why force it!

The staff here are soo nice. They have the place very clean, in tip top shape and they welcome you as you come in fairly quickly. Customer service is amazing. I ordered a traveler and the girl asked how many cups I needed for the traveler and if I needed small lids. No one has ever asked me if I need lids. I appreciated the customer service. This place does not have much parking but the place is cute and has about 10 tables. Very happy with my service today. Hope this review helps you decide. Blessings!

Unfortunately they can’t follow simple directions, and they are lazy . Went in the drive thru I ordered a matcha frap . Almond milk , esspresso shot in the bottom and whip cream . They gave it to me blended and the cashier said it’s just like that . Mind you I always order the same thing so I know the exact taste and look . Eventually after me saying it several times. They took it and they put and espresso shot and than poured the same drink into another cup . Now it tastes straight like caffeine not a hint of matcha ! I’m honestly pissed . That is so lazy . Like do it right the first time and if you make a mistake . Please fix it and don’t half fast it . These are lazy people just don’t go in the drive thru . Make sure you guys watch them if they mess up your order ! What a waste of money .

These guys work their butts off. The drive-thru is their priority with lines out to the main street, but takeout service is still quick and convenient. Seating is sparse, so plan on taking out vs staying in.

This little diner was great. My first meal in California and it hit. I got an omelet and yeah it was just an omelet but it was really good. Not greasy and not stingy with the bacon. Welcoming staff.

Was on my way to another major fast food chain, and I drove by this place. It looked good only because it was diner. Esque stopped in and ordered a burger and thought I was not gonna be full so I said it make it a triple here it is. Burger was awesome nice and well done season just how I liked. It tried to place. The web burrito looked good too, and I was iron the pastrami burger with an egg on top. I think that’ll be my next selection overall four out of five good eats..

Mexican dishes and hamburgers. Indoor and outdoor seat. Food was fantastic. The breakfast burritos and onion rings were great. Best onion rings I've had in years. Crispy tempura style coating with tender juicy onions. WOW.

Ordered a chilli cheeseburger - the chilli was underwhelming. Reminded me of the chef boyardee chilli. More of a tomato sauce than a chilli. Requested hash browns instead of fries. Hash browns were crispy warm and delicious. Happy I was able to order an agua fresca. Overall great service great people good food.

Starbucks, a popular coffeehouse chain originating from Seattle, is renowned for its distinctive coffee blends, delectable light snacks, and provision of WiFi. During a recent visit on a promotional day, the operations ran seamlessly despite the large crowd. The staff appeared content and efficient in managing the influx of customers without any issues related to long queues or service delays. Customers often favor Starbucks as their go-to "fast food" destination due to the consistently affable and welcoming demeanor of the staff.
I had a beautiful experience with the employees here. The Coffee Master that was working tonight was caring and kind. And the food and coffee were great. When a giant corporation can allow its stores to have their own personalities and employees feel safe, it can result in excellent businesses. I highly recommend this location

I've been a Friend for many years. But lately, we've not8ced that Stbx is losing their grip and inconsistency has been very noticeable, both in product and service. I'm a Realtor so I spend most of my time driving all over LA so get to experience many new locations. The staff seems more impatient. Always rushing, at the counter. For the first time in drive thru, I had a Barista introduce herself and ASK for my name BEFORE an order, yet she couldnt understand my name and just called me friend. even at the drive through. As for food and drinks, seems the cups have changed in production where now they leak all the time. Ive stained many pants while driving because of it leaking from UNDER the lid, both plastic and the new papaer ines. As for the new paper lids, they are horrible, they smell like waxed paper and it changes the taste of the hot drink.

The kindest employees I’ve met at a Starbucks by far and that’s pretty difficult cause Starbucks usually has really nice employees. Went for a restroom break and a quick bite and definitely felt the welcome at this location. Restrooms were clean, food was hot and drink was ice cold. Not a huge fan of their iced coffee unless I’m traveling overseas (makes me feel at home when I’m missing it).

Avoid this Starbucks if you’re with your dog. On a hot day, our little dog pulled us inside for a quick break and a pup cup.. something Starbucks is usually known to happily provide. We weren’t in the mood for coffee, just wanted a small treat for our dog. Instead, we were met with attitude. The girl behind the counter scoffed at our pup and snapped, “And what are you getting?” We politely said nothing for us, just the pup cup—and she replied, “I’ll do it this one time, but next time you have to order something.” Absolutely rude, condescending, and totally unnecessary. A little kindness goes a long way, especially toward pet owners who are regular customers elsewhere. Won’t be back.

Starbucks on Lake and California. When you pay almost $6 for a tall latte and get a cup of milk have them remake it and the barista says they will add 2 shots of coffee for me but then gives me another cup of milk!!! Absolutely terrible. You can tell by the color also!! Terrible customer service!!! Never going to this one again, used to be good… I get a response from the Owner of the store and they send me a link to do a customer service review on top of what I just said here. I put it here for the public to see not Starbucks Corporate, if you want to know how to give good customer service then put yourself in the customers shoes! You really think the customer wants to go through this non sense twice or multiple times… NO. You ask them back to your store to fix what you can and improve the relationship not have them fill out a form or take time out of there day to write a review and also have them pay for it. All I wanted was my 2 Latte’s to have coffee in it!! Straight up!

Nekter Juice Bar is a local chain that specializes in unique beverages, cleansing products, and health-conscious snacks. This juice bar is a popular choice for both individuals and families, offering quick juices and the option to sit down and enjoy an acai bowl while taking in the scenery. It's definitely a spot not to be missed! Recently visited this establishment with a gift card from a friend. The place has lovely decor and the staff is friendly.
This place was a great find, and everything was made fresh to order, which made the food taste even better. The menu had some solid options, and the quality was definitely there. I visited on Super Bowl Sunday when just one woman was handling everything—both the register and making all the orders. I wish she had more help, but despite being solo, she was incredibly kind and friendly (not sure I would have been in her position!). One small suggestion—there was quite a bit of plastic used for packaging, which seems unnecessary given how fresh everything is. A more sustainable approach would be a great improvement. Overall, it’s a great little spot in The Shops on Lake—worth checking out!

When I was ordering, I specifically told the staff that my only request was to avoid pineapple because I’m allergic to it. Not only did they fail to note my request, but they also added a lot of pineapple—both in and on top of the smoothie. To make things worse, they forgot to put the bananas, so the entire smoothie was watery and tasted awful.

I absolutely love coming to Nekter Pasadena (parking can be challenging but that's a whole different conversation). The service is always super quick, which makes it so convenient, and even though the customer service vibe changes depending on who’s there, it’s always warm and welcoming. The quality is honestly outstanding every single time fresh, flavorful, and just really well done. I also really appreciate how consistent the portions are it feels like you guys really care about delivering a great experience. Keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait for my next visit!

One of the not many acai places that I still have trust in making me a good bowl. Their bowls are pretty thick and they put real ingredients in. This location has nice seating areas. Parking is a bit hard to find since it’s Pasadena. My order too a bit long because of some confusion, but everything was good in the end.
Fang P — Google review
Super disappointed this is my usual spot I ordered a build your own bowl and then a regular bowl just to wait 30 minutes for both and for them to be made completely wrong. I was already late due to using my whole lunch waiting for bowls that I didn’t even get a chance to get them corrected definitely won’t be returning to this location.
Bella L — Google review
Hire more people. You had one employee attempting to work more that she can handle. Not her fault, it’s the owner. Wait time is ridiculous and I was the first one to order. It took almost an hour for my order. 1 açaí bowl. If I can give a zero, I would. I wanted to walk out and get a refund but apparently, she is not authorized to do so. I am stuck at this place! What a horrible experience. Stay clear from this place

Just came to this place today since we have a gift card from friend. Nice decoration and friendly staff. We purchased an Acai Strawberry Banana bowl which costs $8.60 which is a bit expensive. I have tried other Acai Bowl in other places before and compared to them, Nekter Juice Bar’s bowl is just ok, not very impressive for that price. May not come back tho.
