Queen Aman: Absolutely perfect (10/10)

Spanakopita Pastry: Super fresh and flavorful (9/10)

Cheese & Ham Croissant: Tasty and well-balanced (8/10)

“Absolutely in love with this place. Gigi and her mom have built something special here. The BEST gluten free donuts I have ever had. I’ve been gluten free for five years and have been consistently disappointed with crumbly, dry donuts. Not anymore. This place has changed the game. Their donuts are perfectly moist and amazingly flavorful. I am beaming after visiting this place. Easily my new favorite spot and I will definitely be coming back. Impeccable vibes from the super chill baristas.“

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

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“Oakobing is a must-try for dessert lovers! After seeing rave reviews across social media, we decided to check it out on a weeknight. It was quiet since we visited late, but that gave us the perfect chance to enjoy our dessert without the usual crowds. We ordered the green tea shaved ice with tiny mochis, and it was delicious. The texture reminded us of Taiwan night market treats, although this is a Korean dessert spot. The shaved ice was delicate and fluffy, offering a light, refreshing sweetness.

The place itself is small but has a bright, modern vibe, and the service was quick and friendly. There’s paid parking available on the side, which is convenient enough. Oakobing specializes in Korean-style shaved ice (bingsoo) with many flavors and milkshake options to choose from. The portions are just right for sharing, making it the perfect spot for a sweet indulgence with friends. If you’re looking for a unique dessert experience, Oakobing won’t disappoint!“

“Updating review based on my latest visit to this magical place. If I ever do something stupid in the wrong state and end up on death row, my last meal will be the spaghetti from Holy Saints.

SPAGHETTI IS BETTER THAN THE SPAGHETTI AT UNION. Reminds me of an NYC restaurant - really nice, low key and GREAT food. Very comfortable. The server was a total dork - super nice, unpretentious and funny, asked me if I trust her twenty seconds after we met (I bet she plays Tetris). The music had no F’s left to give in the best way possible - definitely heard some Jefferson Starship in there and one of those songs that could be Chicago or REO Speedwagon. Will come back 1000 times - so glad this place exists.“

“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!!!“

“I unfortunately traveled from L.A on July 6th only to find out they were closed. There was a sign but would have appreciated notification online prior to the trip. I didn't call because they don't answer phone calls ?.No worries..still love and will visit again.“

“Ohhhhhhh so good. I think I met the owner behind the counter, making our lunch. He is making his Armenian grandmother (his tatik) proud. He loves his customers. This is both a catering kitchen and walk-up restaurant with a few tables.
Only three items on the restaurant menu. Got one of everything and split it. You can tell it’s all hand made. The dumplings are flavored perfectly, and maybe a bit of mint on top? On the herbaceous and acidic side, not sweet, but also richer and deeper than a meatball. Can get spicy or regular. Some of the dumplings have crunchy edges. Really unique and tasty. Need 100 more.
The cheesy layered bread was INCREDIBLE. Like. Fly across the country incredible. Flakey, salty, buttery. Melty. Chewy. Crisp. Perfect everywhere.
The salmon sandwich is generous and seasoned well, cooked well, and holds together well. Really really great and I want to go back already.“

“Mixed reviews esp as of late may reflect a general ennui over the place. If you love Spanish food and chefs, for you Dos Besos will be solid, old fashioned, well executed, and yes, a bit forlorn. The outdoor cafe has potential for joy, but it just doesn't reach past its ropes. My tapas, sangria, and almond cake desert were lovely. As a solo diner, a lady at that, I thought service could have been more cosmopolitan, fresh, and to use an overused word, modern. On one hand I encountered a chef via phone earlier that day who was affable, warm. Then, when I met the head chef in person, he was cold, which is fine, do you. But there was no spark overall, just another semi-nice place to spend money on a Pasadena evening. A staff member was quick to give me his number, flirtatious. Between the hot and cold of the chef, and the staff, I wondered how rare it might be for a woman to come here solo to simply be quiet, people watch, eat well, and enjoy. I could be wrong, but I think the endeavor, the restaurant was a dream for the chef made true by a sugar mama (forgive the expression), and it does have that (sullen) sense of (dull) acceptance. I am glad I went, happy the chef suggested I sit outside, and appreciated the nearby lifeblood and bustle of a restaurant courtyard across the street, and the steady flow of energy into and out of Kings Taco - both visibile from the outdoor courtyard. The sangria, so good, I would love some right now. The almond cake, again, solid, well executed, but I would not say it was full of love.“

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

“Went for Sunday brunch with family. I've eaten at The Raymond several times before and will eat there time and time again. The food is consistently good. We especially love the pastry board. Service is always pretty good as well. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Ginger who was bubbly, attentive and thoughtful.“

“almond and hazelnut butter!!!“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“Very friendly with excellent service 💯💯“

“Wish I had taken photos of our food but it wouldn't have done it much justice. Pizza is delicious - every single bite. Had wings and Ceaser Salad. Service is hit and miss. I've dined here several times and two nights ago the bouncer was giving hella odd vibes. Food is worth it though lol.“

“I recommend for my friends and partners, a suitable place....nice meal🥰“

“A nice place for your food eating and ordering. Trusted and tested my many happy clients.“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“Cool atmosphere, great music, best bottomless mimosas, & Felix makes the best espresso martinis 🥰“

“Cute place. Quiet. Warm in the window table area. Coffee is really flavorful. There are dairy and sweetener options, lots of yummy looking foods. A little pricey when you add the dairy alternatives. The staff is friendly and the decor is really beautiful.“

“We went for lunch on a Saturday. Although not busy the place still felt lively. The food was well prepared and very flavorful. The staff was very friendly and service was great. We will definitely return. It is not a cheap meal option but quality meets the prices.“

“Food and drinks are delicious, as they are at all Tartines. This one is my favorite because of the people who work there, especially Whitten and Emily, who are always welcoming and warm. I don't even live in this neighborhood, and I head here most mornings because it's a great start to the day. Highly recommend morning buns, veggie quiche, and country bread, which I pick up along with my daily cappuccino.“

“I really despise when the restaurant is fairly empty and the host sits everyone in the same section. I’ve never worked in this industry so I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the practice. It always bothers me but today in particular because the groups of people who the host chose to seat by me were wearing the loudest perfumes/colognes that really assaulted my senses. I was dining alone and enjoying the quietude and there was still plenty of empty seats in other parts of the restaurant. Sigh… Next time I'll order take out.“

“Just kind of wandered into this place. It was clean, and a good selection of breakfast and light lunch fare (sandwiches, salads, etc). I had the vegan sandwich that came with a side of mixed greens. Everything was super fresh, the tempeh was flavorful, I loved the creamy spread, and the sourdough was perfectly toasted. And not a bad price! You order at the front and they give you a number, and the food came out pretty quickly. The staff were super friendly. Not a huge space, but there several tables open at 12:45pm on a Monday. 1 hour parking on the street (they might also have a garage, but I parked on the street).“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

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

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“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.“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“Great food at good prices“

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

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

“Great local brewery! Highly recommend.“

“Salad was tasty . I’ll be back to try burgers they looked amazing .“

“Ice Cream is always so good here. Prompt service, very nice employees. Their waffle bowl could be a little more flavorful but that’s a personal preference. Got their hot fudge sundae waffle bowl with banana cream pie and vanilla ice creams and ate every bit. Definitely recommend a stop here“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“Honestly love when we get to go here. The food is fantastic. The hospitality is so kind. The whole place is such a vibe and lovely people. We had the friend chicken and the shrimp and grits. We got the gumbo and biscuits to go so we could have them for breakfast the next morning.“

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

“Whenever I find myself in Pasadena, I make it a point to stop by. As I step through the front door, the aromas are welcoming, the setting comforting, and with it a slew of memories rushes back. I discovered Jones in the early 2000’s during business trips to Pasadena. Through the years it became a must have visit, even during family trips. Leading the way is Rafael. He’s calm and welcoming and his presence is felt every where. In fact, during a 2021 visit he spotted my family and me, came over to greet us, and fondly recalled my children who he hadn’t seen in close to 8 years. It’s that type of personal attention , and good product, that has kept me coming back. Enjoy!“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“My go-to taco truck in the area. It’s in a small lot but there’s free and metered parking on the street. Fast, friendly service. Street tacos are small but filling. Cash only. Meat is well cooked and the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend. Enjoy.“

“Was walking from work on my way to chipotle for lunch. Passed by this place on the way and saw they serve breakfast. I called and asked what the options were. I heard breakfast tacos and backtracked to Madre Maiz. Breakfast taco comes with cheese and potato cooked right onto the tortilla, choice of ham or bacon, I chose bacon. Egg scrambled or over easy, I chose over easy per the recommendation of the owner(?) Also comes with beans but opted out because I’m allergic. They also have a special breakfast salsa which was amazing. I accidentally poured the entire container on my taco definitively an accident I’ll repeat in the future. Oh and try it on the blue corn tortilla.“
