Restaurants in Pasadena

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!”

“Discovered this place on our trip to Pasadena and we were rewarded with a fantastic meal. Great menu! The owner was passionate about his food and it showed. I hope we have an excuse to return. Highly recommended!”

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!”

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.”

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍”

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.”

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕”

“Great food and awesome service. Definitely a must dine!”

“This was the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. How? How does it get so crispy and juicy and savory and delicious? The short ribs and bbq was incredible too, so was the musubi. But I was so full and I couldn’t stop eating the freakin chicken. I feel so thankful.”

“Electric, instantaneous, efficient
These are 3 words I would use to describe the service at Sichuan street food.
I have long wanted to go and I finally dined here. With my family we ordered a myriad of dishes, each one was authentic, flavorful, and of course delicious.
Some of the best Chinese food I can recommend you.
I recommend for sure the Dan Dan noodles, the egg fried rice, the cumin lamb, diced chicken with spicy chilies, and green beans.

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.”

“Entre Nous French Bistro has been a longtime favorite, I’ve been coming here since they opened. The escargot is incredibly tender, drenched in garlicky herb butter you want to soak up with bread. The oysters are ultra‑fresh and perfectly chilled, the ideal briny start to the meal. The steak is cooked spot‑on with a rich peppercorn sauce and crispy fries, making every bite feel like a true Parisian bistro experience. Matthew our waiter was amazing thank you for your amazing service.”

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!”

“The food has to be experienced!! It’s high-end in taste and presentation, and the staff are professional but so fun that you feel like you’re with family. They are attentive to detail and will bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Service with a smile; this company is pure joy!”

“Came in with a big order on a Sunday and they gave me the best service with a great CAN DO attitude! Love it when they reflect positivity and it gave me warmth right back.

Food of course was amazing and fresh! Very well priced and kinda cute they put everything in pizza boxes. Highly recommend for family orders!”

“Home style Armenian/Middle Eastern Bakery that brings the flavors and aromas of my travels locally.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.”

“This place it's amazing from the food all the way to the price there food it's absolutely amazing love there taco but you gotta have to have Cash only and there are late open on weekends special”

“This was the perfect burger!!”

“How did this quirky gem evade my notice for five years?! I guess because they're only open Friday and Saturday. This may be the best restaurant in Pasadena. Inventive creole-inspired food. Everyone raved. Only thing I would change is to have it a little quieter. But our four-top could still converse well.”

“Ambiance and service are on top tier level. Service was above and beyond and the experience was great. Everyone that shows up is either a return customer or a neighboring colleague. For only being there for a couple of hours I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that’s a traveler or local. We had wings and pizza. The best for a late night drink and wind down.”

“Great pizza with fresh ingredients and a crispy, flavorful crust. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. Service was a little slow at times, but the quality of the food makes it worth visiting.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the charming, highly-rated Hello You're Welcome café. They make and bake everything in house- you can even see the ovens. Really friendly staff with a slight hippie vibe. Some items were made with almond flour, like their giant chocolate chip cookie, so I had to skip them (allergic). I was pleasantly overwhelmed by a delicious gigantic frittata slice with bacon, onions, and tater tots inside. Togadachi coffee is really interesting: the beans were fermented with lavender. Extra sugar helped me adjust to the unique flavor. The wall full of retail items features coffee beans in VHS boxes, which is a first! I love their mugs and bought one to take home.”

“Such an amazing experience such friendly staff cheap and very deliciously strong drinks. love it here”

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!”

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!”

“Cool little tea shop on the edge of PCC campus. It serves a variety of teas, smoothies, and other drinks and small plates. Very cozy atmosphere with seating as well.”

“Update after 2 years — still the best sushi I’ve had.
I wrote a long review a couple of years ago praising SUGARFISH as the best sushi I’d ever eaten. Just came back for a friend’s birthday and happy to report it’s still just as amazing the second time around.

We ordered the “Trust Me / Just Eat” set menu — absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared, and incredibly consistent with my first visit. Fresh fish, clean flavors, and that signature SUGARFISH quality that’s hard to beat.

Love seeing a place maintain such a high standard over time. Still a favorite.”

“amazing food, service and ambiance!”

“First time having hotpot. The server was great and explained everything very well. Prices were good and the kids had lots of fun. Enjoyed every moment of these new experience.”

“Excelente comida y atención”

“Salad Dressing is amazing. Parking is horrible. They said 10-15 for my order. 25 minutes and I got a $52 Parking Citation🤬🤬🤬🤬”

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place”

“I'm 1/3 through the menu trying different entrees. So far, every meal has been a tasty treat! The food is always hot, flavorful, colorful . . . and delish!😋”

“Omg. It’s June 6th and this review is for Easter Sunday Brunch for Alexandros. The Waiter from Greece. Sorry for the delayed review Alexandros that I promised. Food and service here, impeccable, amazing, flawless. Alexandros is an amazing waiter.
Thank you.”

“The food was delicious, the service excellent, the establishment was clean, portions generous, and cost affordable. We ordered chow mein, fish with black bean sauce, and Mongolian beef. It's not Chinese fast food, it's a sit down restaurant. Surprised it wasn't crowded as the food is delicious. The location is a little non-descript but street parking was easy. I live in Gardena and although there are several Chinese restaurants, none are good. This was a lucky find as restaurant reviews in general tend to result in a bad choice.”

“Excellent customer service and food!”

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.”

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.”

“What a lovely cafe! Good coffee. Tasty food and they butter toasted the banana bread which was 🤌. The best part was the staff, Nick, Nicole, and Karina really brightened our morning!”

“We spent a long weekend in Pasadena and at first chose this Thai place because it was just 5min walking from our rental cottage. They greeted us so friendly and accommodated our requests for items on the side. Then, the next day we came back here because everything was so flavorful! My husband had the crispy sole fish special and I enjoyed the glass noodles with shrimp. Exquisite!
We highly recommend!”

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.”

“What a hidden gem! This small quaint restaurant delivered some of the best food we had while visiting Pasadena. The flavors in the sauce (basil, olive oil and something else yummy) that surrounded the burrata were absolutely delicious! The lamb/beef/pork bolognese sauce on the spaghetti as well as the duck was excellent. Portions are definitely generous and shareable. Our only regret is we didn’t save room for dessert! Despite being there during the Rose Bowl with lots of people, the service was excellent! So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant via Resy, we’ve saved it in case we come to Pasadena again!! Bravo!!!”

“Our server was awesome... her recommendations were spot on! the food surpassed our expectations! exceptional...The ambiance was relaxing for a Friday night and perfect for our friend's birthday celebration. thank you for making it so special. Very happy party of 4 enjoyed dinner at Marina!”

“Carl's jr triple famous star ok to eat not unhealthy don't add cheese I added extra onions green chilies with coffee great taste I see other people review. California economy. Newsom. Under staffed true vegetarian people don't go here. Hamburgers are their specialty. The people are not diet nutrition experts. Look at the food to order.”

“On this particular day, 04/14/2026. The staff was clearly shorthanded ( two people working) but the two staff members were all smiles and super polite. Five stars still.”

“Servicio excelente !!! Personal muy amable”

“The staff here is always so friendly and welcoming! The Tuxedo Hot Chocolate is a must-try if you love rich chocolate flavor, it’s creamy, perfectly balanced, and just the right amount of sweetness. This location is always clean, cozy, and a great place to relax or get some work done.”

“I'm from Ohio where there are no Jack in the Boxes. What I gathered eating here is that it was nothing but goodness for my Northeastern Stomach. Great munchie food”

“It's IHOP ... There is a standard regarding food quality, level of service and atmosphere. This location (Arroyo Parkway off 110 fwy).is my personal favorite, go-to spot (dining alone, business meeting, family gatherings) it works well. Always kept clean. Food quality is good and service is timely & professional. I can go alone or host family gathering of 30+ individuals,.. always had good, professional and pleasant service.”

“Kevin and I stopped at this Jack in the Box on our way to Chantry Flat for a picnic lunch date, and it ended up being the perfect quick stop!

We placed a mobile order and chose drive-thru pickup, and everything was ready in under 5 minutes. The process was fast, convenient, and seamless ideal when you’re heading out for a day in the mountains.

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, and the customer service was wonderful. This location is right next to the on-ramp, making it incredibly convenient and only about a 4-minute detour from our route.

Even after the drive up to Chantry Flat, our food was still warm, which made for the perfect picnic at the scenic Chantry Flat picnic tables.

If you’re looking for a quick and reliable fast food stop near Chantry Flat or along your route, this Jack in the Box is a fantastic choice.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!”

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection”

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days”

“Paul is very nice and made me feel so welcomed! He remembered me even though I've only been there once. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. If I recall correctly, he said that the strawberry cake ball, coffee cake, and a few others were popular picks. There is only outdoor sidewalk seating (a total of 3 small tables with 2 seats each). The interior is tiny, and it carries the feel of a quick in-and-out pickup store. It's also right across the street from Pasadena's Central Park if you're looking for a stroll while you eat. It's very transit-accessible. It's a 5 minute walk from the A line Del Mar station. death by chocolate cookie ($3.85) - It's just a typical double chocolate cookie! It's a little gritty and dry (maybe it's gluten free?) but still delicious nonetheless. coffee cake ($5.88) - sweet, with a flavor of cinnamon (not in an overpowering way). If you enjoy coffee cake, definitely get this, as vegan coffee cake is a rarity in Pasadena and LA. ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - honestly, i think this was a little too sweet for me. The ice cream itself was plain vanilla soft serve, but when sandwiched by two entire chocolate chip cookies, I think the sweetness can be overpowering. Keep in mind that it also melts very fast (since it has the consistency of soft serve) and this makes it hard to keep the whole sandwich in shape. If you do not plan to eat it right away, I would not recommend getting this as it'll melt in a mere minute.”

“A hole in the wall gem. I've had barbeque throughout the US, and this place is up there with the best. My wife and I enjoyed the brisket with peach cobbler Al mode for dessert at the sidewalk table out front.
Perfect!”

“R u Serious!!! An unbelievable flavor explosion created by the chef at SEED. Gott be the best chile relleno of my life! The chile, the cilantro, the greens a robust farm fresh egg. BAMM!!”

“Ginger's Corner Market is an absolute gem in Pasadena! Its incredible location, unique charm, stellar customer service and fire menu to match its definitely a must stop when in town!

It doesn't matter what you select you wont be disappointed! Trust me, I've almost had EVERYTHING ON THE MENU!! The wedge is a delight with caramelized bacon to drool for, or the classic Cobb you can never go wrong with. My personal favorite is the ham n brie sandwich which is an incredible palate pleaser with both sweet and savory in one!

Stop in! You won't be disappointed”

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try”

“Oji is my favorite sushi spot in the area!!! I say that as someone who is picky about their sushi. Decent prices with the freshest mouth watering sushi! I usually order mostly sashimi and the sashimi here is always fresh and DELICIOUS! But it’s not just the sushi thats great here. The garlic edamame the agedashi tofu (haven’t been to a place that does it better) the dragon roll… honestly nothing on the menu is ever bad. Of course with sushi it’s always best to eat at the restaurant ( but even take out from here the sushi stands up). When you eat in the restaurant you also get to enjoy the atmosphere. When you step into the restaurant it’s obvious the owners put a lot of thought and effort into the place. While still casual it has a uniquely pleasant vibe. Also the service is great here too! If you’re up for some delicious cold sake, try the sho une junmai dajingo it’s ‘chef’s kiss’. To sum it all up, everything about this place is fantastic and you should definitely make this place your next sushi spot!”

“Delicious, hefty burgers that’s served by the warmest mom, dad and son trio. Come hungry because they give you so much food for such a good price. Special shout out to their chili cheese fries!”

“I am visiting from Massachusetts and THIS place is THE BEST for quality, portions, price and friendliness of staff!!! and also the nice location, seating options (inside or balcony outdoors!) sunny!..geat mountain view!..casual and super clean and organized! A+++++++ my 2nd day here in a row for breakfast and the coffee is EXCELLENT & large cups too! ❤️”

“Great food and so friendly service.”

“Bit of a long wait but we expect that on a Sunday morning. All family members, including kids, cleaned their plates. My veggie omelette was solid. Reminded me of an omelette bar! But the real star of the show was the hashbrowns. I’ll be thinking about them for the rest of the week lol. Our server was very nice. Honestly, all staff were friendly. We’ll be back. Oh, and my kids both highly recommend the chocolate chip pancakes! 😌”

“Owner employs his son who violently abused his girlfriend on the job here.. stay safe and do not support.”

“Great tasting pizza!! My family says it is delicious. Thank you for making great pizza!! For those reading this make sure to go try this locally owned establishment. You will not regret it.”

“I had the iced Americano and it was perfect. Staff is very friendly and welcoming as well. The space is cute! 10/10 recommend. They have plenty of options available.”

“Great food �”

“It's warm and friendly. 🥰”

“Ricardo was my waiter and it was my first time here. This place is a gem, the food is prepared fresh and with authenticity. Some people say you can’t taste or smell MSG, but I have a sensitivity to it, and I can say this place DOESN’T use MSG! This was something I deeply appreciate, and I take food serious, I enjoy experiencing culture via food and the people who serve it. This restaurant wasn’t too busy Saturday afternoon, to my surprise, but it should be hustling and bustling! I didn’t let this detour me, I lean on hidden gems mostly when I dine out. If you are in the area and looking for something new, and unique, or you are spending the morning at the Huntington Library/Museum and Botanical Garden like I was, (a short 7 minute drive through historic Pasadena/San Marino) try this true Chinese restaurant. The parking is directly across the way, they have a patio, and it’s nestled amongst other charming stores and restaurants. On weekends the location hosts local creatives markets, and music. I had the following increíble, well balanced and savory dishes: pork and chicken dumplings, vegetables fried rice (was very different in a delightful way!), chicken soup, three cup chicken, beef and Chinese broccoli, and jasmine ice tea.”

“Delicious and nice place.”

“Rose Tree Cottage is an absolute gem. From the moment you step through the door, you’re welcomed with warmth, charm, and genuine hospitality. The owners are truly delightful—gracious, jovial, and endlessly attentive—making you feel like a treasured guest rather than a visitor.

Their tea service is exceptional. Every detail, from the perfectly brewed tea to the beautifully presented treats, reflects care, tradition, and a love for creating memorable experiences. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how special a proper afternoon tea can be.

If you’re looking for an inviting, elegant, and wholeheartedly hospitable tea experience in Pasadena, Rose Tree Cottage is unmatched. Highly recommended.”

“I don’t know a single person who hates this place. Everyone is super friendly. The ice cream is so delicious. A small scoop is anything BUT small. And the 4-scoop sampler will forever be one of the best deals in all of the ice cream kingdom. May this place last forever.”

“Great food at good prices”

“As part of the Medical Team stationed at the Rose Bowl during the Eaton fire we want to thank Home Brew for providing delicious coffee everyday. 😁🔥”

“Definitely worth the challenge finding it and guessing the password (be very nice to the bouncer and ask for hints)
Food and drinks were delicious, love the old brick walls and decor.
Bathrooms were very well kept.”

“Great chill spot. Good Beers!!”

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.”

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊”

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.”

“A good meal marred by a cold draft because of an open door to the patio. Would not shut when requested. (If servers need handsfree access, put in a swinging door like other restaurants.)”

“Tonight was a special celebration for my Brother in law Paul, it's his birthday and the service was great from the start. We were sat right away by Claudia who was very pleasant. Our server was Jorge. Excellent service, very helpful with suggestions, we had the tomahawk, it was so well prepared and cooked to perfection. Appetizers were great, the favorite was the spicy shrimp, flavor was on point. The dessert was delicious. Our party of five was so happy. Shout out to all the staff tonight! Service was wonderful! We will return!”

“Great service and everyone treats you like family!! Hands down one of my favorite restaurants and thank you Paulina.❤️🥰”

“One word. FANTASTIC. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing. THE STEAK was absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD. perfectly cooked, great tasting, clearly extremely fresh. The steak was melt in the mouth good. The sides were also out of this world. I would HIGHLY recommend this steakhouse. I will be going here again.”

“Probably the best porterhouse steak I have had in a very long time.”

“Thank you for the AMAZING cake!!!! 😍😍😍”

“Very good good food and nice service We really enjoyed dinner 🙏”

“The food was delicious, One of the best sushi in Pasadena”

“Literature and Libations what more needs to be said.”

“This is a super tasty dessert featuring a generous serving of fluffy, finely shaved ice that melts delightfully in your mouth. I love how the light, airy texture complements the sweet, flavorful syrup drizzled on top, making it incredibly refreshing and satisfying. I highly recommend trying this treat for an enjoyable cooling experience.”

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try”

“Love their selections of foods not too much not less just right and not complicated. My tummy is full and happy soul 😊”

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.”

“Got the bacon breakfast burrito and it was huge. They don’t skimp on the meat either. Would recommend if you want something heart, especially before a big day. Also helps that’s it’s 5 minutes away from the rose bowl stadium.”

“This was our first time here and we loved it!! We’re always looking for a staple new spot and teddy’s did not disappoint. Food was delicious and fresh! the space was welcoming too:) Would recommend”

“First timer here with the fam and we were definitely delighted! Customer service was great and the food was just as good! The pepperonis were top notch as well, will definitely come back when I’m in the area!❤️‍🔥”

“This place is chill as hell. Pizza looks great, nice under carriage, solid hold, no flop. The crust is a bit on the burnt side. Almost like a cracker. Could also use a little more sauce, but great flavor. Service was good as well”

“Best Mexican food I've ever had.The Chile Colorado is amazing. As great as the food is, the service is even better. Lourdes is a gem. She is the definition of great service. Friendly, attentive and knows the large menu very well. Look no further for than Amigos Restaurant for great Mexican food.”

“This was our first visit to El Metate. I was impressed with all the menu options. The service was excellent , and the food was delicious.”

“Egg Roll Express has the best food. They have been in the same location for at least 25 years. I order there often and have never been disappointed. GREAT FOOD EGG ROLL EXPRESS !”

“My significant other and I treated ourselves to 90 minutes of normal at The George and strongly urge you to do the same! Food, truffle fries, pork cop and salmon all delicious! Angela was our server and she was attentive and charming! The atmosphere was a comforting refuge. So take a break and support The George and have a wonderful meal with family and friends!”

“Excellent soul food. It reminds me of a little taste of the south. He collard green and fried rib combination is the very best!!!!!!!”

“My first impression was the cleanliness and friendly staff. Secondly being my first time all my questions were met with great care to detail. And lastly the freshness and delicious food was phenomenal and priced very well. I am now a Kokoroll customer for life. Thank you! Ps. I only wish I’d found you sooner 😊 HIGHLY RECOMMEND AAA+”

“EXCELLENT food! Be warned: because we missed it- this is a market that does TAKE OUT ONLY! So, order ahead and pick up. I had the Jerk Chicken lunch- freaking FANTASTIC! My partner got a fish plate which was excellent as well. Staff nice, food good, order ahead!”

“Great BBQ Food and Entertainment”

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.”

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!”

“Emelyn and Alan served us today while we were celebrating our anniversary. They were super polite, friendly and patient. Excellent service from both of them! The variety of food available was abundant and we were truly spoilt for choice! Overall a very enjoyable experience and would definitely come back again when in the area, and will recommend. :)”

“Great food, relaxing environment”

Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.”

“My husband and I were visiting the LA area last week. We walked into Mi Piace - it was Monday, they were open when so many places weren’t. So glad we did. It was fabulous-great food, fair prices and a wonderful server. Try the minestrone. Amazing. Salad was great, too.”

“Amazing fresh food and excellent service.”

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😍😍😍😍😍 every meal is made fresh. Hands down a favorite”

“Fantastic place. Great servers, great food. Great everything. If I had one single complaint, it'd be that I wish there was another layer or two of cucumbers in the cucumber sandwich.”

“Very good good food and nice service We really enjoyed dinner 🙏”

“I’m officially addicted to their Vanilla Honey Latte. Food is awesome as well!”

“Came here with a pretty big group two weeks ago for dinner while in town for a convention. The food was amazing. My boyfriend and I shared the half Parrillada and it was delicious, everything cooked to perfection.”

“Also happy hour is good while you watch the games”

“My first time at CAVA…the food was so fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back!”

“Well being as my fault because we were late, but we ended up with buffet which was ok. The food was not as tasty, omelette station was too slow because I am assuming she was slow plus she was working alone. Our waiter was very attentive busboy was very helpful. Overall it was good. I need to come back for actual breakfast as a sit downs and ordering it then I might give it a five star.”

“They have great food large selection their service is great I definitely recommend this place”

“What a treat! Delicious cookies, slices of cake, and coffee & tea! My husband and I are going to become regulars! So happy we found this place. The chocolate chip and toffee cookies are delicious dipped in coffee!”

“We love Criterion Coffee! The coffee is arguably the best coffee we’ve had!

The coffee shop looks really nice inside and has been very well decorated aesthetically!

It looks like it’s got a nice place to stay and work on the second floor, too

Wish we had more time here, but it’s a coffee shop that we’ll be returning to!”

“We are so lucky to have this cafe here in Pasadena! I've tried the carbonara, puttanesca, sandwiches, foccacia, and fried zucchini blossom, and it's all been delicious. Their homemade bread is incredible and is the star of their amazing sandwiches. For fellow lovers of bittersweet Italian sodas, they stock chinotto here, as well a couple small bitter sodas! On top of how good the food is, the service is very warm and friendly. You can tell it's a family business run with a lot of love. Can't recommend it highly enough, and I'm looking forward to going back and trying even more of the menu.”

“Absolutely amazing BBQ!!! Nothing was regular or ordinary. The brisket was so tender and tasty and the Blue Masa Cornbread was to die for! Melts in your mouth! And don’t forget the Cole Slaw which deserves capital letters!! The Mac and Cheese (not like any you’ve ever had!) was comped by our new friend who was our ordering coach and it stole the show!! This place is new and Jensen is a class act and his food is BBQ but kicked up a notch !! Congrats Jensen!!!”

“I finally got to check this place out. I've been wanting to go since it opened.

I got the chicken and rice meal. It was really good! The only thing I would do different is ask if they could heat up my chicken. I was not expecting cold chicken with warm rice.

I got takeout to eat in my car but waited till I got home so I could warm up the chicken. It was much better. I loved the dressing and exhaustion those onions. Absolute perfection.

Staff was very friendly. The establishment is super clean. They were still baking cookies at 8:00 p.m. which is great for those who love an evening snack!”

“A decent boba spot in Pasadena. I always wished they had more toppings. But all their drinks are good and consistent. They have a really small parking lot with Afters IceCream. But there’s plenty of street parking all around. I usually get their fresh jaded green mountain tea with black and white boba. I like almost all their drinks and the aesthetic vibes of the cafe. But I wish there was a restroom and more space area to sit and enjoy the tea there.”

“I saw this restaurant on Facebook or Insta on Friday night and the pic and menus made my mouth water. We took take out on Saturday night and the chicken was mouth-watering! I want to swing by again tonight just for the chicken. Since we did take out, when I got home the fries were cold and the salads were just OK. We didn’t care for the dressings they provided, (but that is just personal taste) I would definitely recommend, it is new to our neighborhood and we will eat there again.”

“As vegans, we have been to countless cafes and restaurants. ID Eclair is THE BEST of the best. Amazingly delicious, pure, fabulous vegan food!”

“After I was introduced to this boba store, no exaggeration, as people around me and store workers would know, I have been coming almost every day. I get the fruit tea (large) which is only $4. It’s so rare—I haven’t seen another store—that is as affordable and whose drink quality is still high. It feels like every coffee shop or boba shop is selling drinks for $7-10. Their drink is really good. I get 0 ice 0 sugar and it still tastes good (you know a tea place isn’t good if you get 0 sugar and then it tastes bitter/bad). Also with the 0 ice, I like that they aren’t just replacing the ice with water, but chilling more tea to top it off. They have internet, parking in back, and tables to study/do work.”

“Was feeling hungry after getting labs done and stumbled upon this place by chance. I am so happy that I did because the sandwiches are AMAZING!! Me and my partner got “The Godmother”, Prosciutto & Fig, with a homemade sparkling lemonade. All three were absolutely fantastic and mouth watering, it all tasted so fresh! The size of the sandwiches had me so surprised by how good the prices here are! The woman that helped us was also super friendly and attentive. This place is a must if you’re in the area and craving a sandwich that is really good quality!! 🤩”

“really good... you have to go there!”

“I love this new Korean cafe in Pasadena. Their matcha is soo good and creamy! The pastries are delicious as well! They have a lot of options to choose from coffee,non caffeinated drinks , tea, pastries. And fruits desserts I’m definitely going to try their cute fruit desserts when I come back.

Service is amazing, my drinks and pastries came out really fast and everyone was friendly.

Ambiance is cute, and plenty of seating. They also sell some merch like shirts, coffee, tea and cups.

I got some of their coffee, cups and shirts.

I will definitely comeback.

Matcha Rain
Pistachio Croissant
Orange Grapefruit Black Tea

“Simple table & ordering set up with quick service & delicious tacos. We tried the chorizo + potato breakfast taco paired with Chicken Green Sauce & both came out hot with tons of flavor. Perfect quick snack & sampling.”

“My wife and I had a great experience at Chak De California. The food was excellent, the ambience was nice, and the plating was done really well. The flavors felt authentic and reminded us of Punjab, which made it even better. Definitely recommend this place.”
