Waffles near Pasadena, CA

“Angelenos have been debating this since time immemorial, so I’m happy to put it to rest: the best waffles in metro Los Angeles are at Russell’s in Pasadena. Also they validate parking. I can’t sit here and look you in the eye and tell you I value parking validation as much as I do delicious waffles, but middle age makes a confounding creature out of all of us and so here I am saying it’s darn close. Anyway, if you’re looking for waffles near old town, or if you’re somewhere else and have a reasonable means of transport to Old Town, or if you’re just sort of having this debate theoretically and have no practical waffle-procuring intentions, Russell’s is your spot.“

“Very nice ice cream. Rich flavors and smell so good. Also, one scoop is very big. :)“

“Chicken strips and fries 🍟 😋 at Aftershock they hooked us up !! thanks !! Jen and the rest of the staff !! hope to see your truck back next year !!“

“The best boba and bubble puffs in Pasadena!
If you are looking for a fantastic dessert spot or a cozy place to grab a drink near PCC, Bubble Puff & Tea is an absolute gem! This local, women-run business serves some of the highest-quality boba and authentic Hong Kong-style egg waffles in the entire area, all at very reasonable prices compared to other high-end shops.The bubble puffs are an absolute must-try-they take about 10 minutes because they are made completely fresh, but they are totally worth the wait! They are perfectly warm, crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. You can definitely tell they use premium tea leaves because the drinks are rich, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing without being overly sweet. The house milk tea and their fresh fruit green teas are exceptional, and the boba pearls have the perfect chewy texture.
The shop itself is clean, bright, and spacious with free Wi-Fi, making it a great spot to study or hang out with friends. Plus, the staff are always super friendly, welcoming, and quick with orders. There is also a convenient parking lot in the back. I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Absolutely delicious, cooked fresh and everything you want in a snack. There’s lots of savory and sweet options- I went with a ham and cheese one and a mixed berry cream cheese one. It looks like they have new and limited flavor options rotated out regularly. Paying is cash or Venmo only, but was very inexpensive. It took about 10 mins, and there’s some picnic tables nearby with cute little birds to keep you company while you wait.

It was cooked perfectly, melty and piping hot on the inside, and crispy on the outside, with a mildly sweet and crispy shell. Absolute perfection! A great way to grab a quick snack and take a short break while shopping. I definitely will be back.“

“Stopped by on my way to work for my first visit, and I’m officially hooked! Found easy street parking right out front and ordered using the kiosk inside. It has a small interior and there were a few customers inside, however the worker was very quick with all our orders! I got a tiramisu iced latte, a matcha pastry, and a ham & cheese croissant sandwich, all three for just $8! You can’t beat that price point, especially given the quality. The coffee had a distinct tiramisu flavor, the pastry was perfectly balanced, and the sandwich was warm and crispy. Definitely going back!“

“Tried the crepe rolls at Roll Cafe today and they were absolutely delicious! You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Maria and Isabel were both so friendly and welcoming — they made the whole experience even better. Excited to have this new spot around and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Love the Pink Latte just as much as I loved my experience with the Manager Sam. Great staff, wonderful service. ill definitely be back.“

“Great boba chain with consistent drink quality. I visited the store near Lunar new year time and was given red envelopes with mu purchase. I went to pick up my fav drinks with them, which are mango pomelo sago and winter melon milk tea with grass jelly!“

“Dios Bendiga este ligar esta todo muy Rico y the people are so beautiful, 🙏God Bless their 🙌 hands 🙏🙏🙏“

“Last night I introduced my daughters to Bruxie for the first time- we love the menu options; savory, sweet, and amazing. Special KUDOS to Gabriel, for providing excellence in service and making us feel so welcomed at your (USC) location last night. I had to come back for lunch today! Your food is amazingly delicious, portions are ginormous, and your customer service is exceptional! Thank you 🥰“

“I 100% recommend this place. The drinks are very good. I got the peaches and cream smoothie with boba and my wife got the matcha with banana foam. We decided to also try out the taiyaki with custard and the tornado potato. Overall amazing experience. Definitely coming back.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Aloha Stacks! The Hawaiian-inspired food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Loco Moco and Ube Coconut Pancakes were especially delicious, and everything had a satisfying homemade feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the relaxed atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. A great spot in El Monte for a hearty breakfast or Hawaiian-style comfort food—definitely worth coming back!“

“Healthy and delicious smoothie bowls“

“Very cute 😍 and convenient, if you need to go to H mart.“

“Very nice ice cream. Rich flavors and smell so good. Also, one scoop is very big. :)“

“Jamba Juice is always a go-to for something fresh and refreshing. The smoothies are so good, packed with flavor, and always hit the spot. It’s perfect when you want something quick but still feel like you’re getting something good for you. The only thing is it’s always packed, but that just shows how popular it is. Definitely worth the wait every time.“
