Millie's is a great spot off washington blvd up in Pasadena near the local mountains. They serve a wide variety of breakfast and the service is quick and they check up on you frequently if you need anything. I was torn between buckwheat pancake and lemon ricotta pancake and went with the latter since another place was out of them. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Try them out!! Always a full house in the mornings!! 5ššššš stars for excellent food and service!!

If you donāt want to wait then join the virtual waitlist but if you do have to wait itās worth it . The staff is all business when it comes to refills and service . Their meats are good . Their chorizo is amazing and not greasy . Waffles were fluffy and light. Omelets leave you so stuffed . We enjoyed all their fun drinks .

Been going here for years...wonderful vegan menu and my favorite place for waffle indulgence...but...alas, I ate the second part of my waffle today, using their syrup, and BLECH! When you only use true Maple syrup, flavored corn syrup is just yuck, different mouth feel and clearly missing whatever true Maple syrup has. I know they used to use better syrup, so this was a deep disappointment. Let's hope it was a last minute substitution and not an ongoing thing!

Food was excellent the Applewood bacon in the California omlet was great.
The Cappuccino was made properly with good quality coffee. They have a 2 page vegan menu for those that are vegetarian and don't want to read about meat, the Temphe bacon was good and the fake Chorsio was aswell.

I recently tried the bacon breakfast burrito, and it was fantastic! Easily the best breakfast burrito Iāve ever had. The bacon was cooked perfectly and delicious, and I loved that it included avocado. Absolutely delicious!

Place is alright. I had been here a couple years back and it satisfied my pancake craving without being anything extraordinary. I returned last week for a heavier cheat meal.
Millieās is very popular in the neighborhood. I got pancakes with sausage, hash browns and eggs. I liked my hash browns. I have had better pancakes although the sides here were really good.
I wouldnāt come back here unless I were in the area and craving hash browns.

2025 review:
oh, how the mighty have fallen. I recognize a lot may be due to the economy, but every category across the board has dropped drastically in quality. Servers don't care and have been inattentive, orders made wrong, smallest portion sizes yet the prices are the same or (mostly) increased; longer wait time for everything from seating to waiting for an extra butter. Maybe I'll check back in a year or two, but for now there's just no way i can justify spending this much $ on this much disappointment.
Original review from 2023:
Delicious food from an extensive and exciting menu with lots of options! Great for vegans and omnivores alike! My bf is vegan but I'm not, and so sometimes it's difficult to find places that we both like. We both loved our breakfasts! Very attentive and friendly staff, great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining options available. Great for anything from solo dining to larger groups. The serving sizes are very large and prices are fair. Hashbrowns were perfectly crisp and not greasy. Delicious omelette, and the house made bun was very tasty! We will be back again for sure, to try some of the other dishes that caught our attention. Great place for breakfast, brunch, & lunch.

We were so excited to try this place based on the long waiting line we always saw outside. We tried for the first time today and felt it was overrated. The cheese in our omelette wasnāt even melted at all, it was weekday, 30 minutes after opening and they were already āoutā of hash browns. And they sat us back to back with another table and it was so tight that my kids couldnāt even get between the chairs to go to the bathroom. I canāt imagine what it would be like on a weekend when itās full! I really wanted to love this place but sadly I donāt think we will be back :(

Nice selection of vegan items. Food was fresh and came out quickly. We had to wait for a table, but it wasn't long and it was only because it was a very busy weekend. Sat outside, which was shaded, but tables were very close together. The restaurant is on a very high traffic corner so the noise/exhaust from the cars was a bit much.

They were kind of rude and lack of service so we didnāt even sit long enough to order before deciding to find another place. We donāt want to spend hard earned money places that canāt provide at least bare minimum hellos and courtesy. I would understand on a busy day but it was only 5 plus me and my plus 1⦠so idk maybe they donāt like the fem black people or black transgender peoples. Black lgbt beware before you take the trip.
