Restaurants near San Marino

“It was my first time coming to Chapresso. I was really impressed that they used tea leafs to make the tea. The tea tasted great! They also had good service. The simple design of the place is inviting but the space is limited. However, they do have open sitting outside the shop.”

“I love this cafe. The chicken salad is so good! My friend always loves the grilled short ribs. This is also our go to spot for fluffy pancakes. The matcha one is perf! The cream is very matcha-y. And the pancakes are perfectly cooked and so soft, fluffy and jiggly. Cannot recommend this spot enough!!!”

“I really wanted to love this experience, but i was bummed. I had reservation for outdoor seating, yet we were seated indoors. I'm not someone who likes to make things difficult for service staff and cause a scene, so my friend and I just went with it. But unfortunately it took away from the experience especially considering we paid $50 just to enter the area, even with a restaurant reservation. And then we ended up spending a little over $200 on high tea, and not being seated where we had requested made it feel like it wasn't worth it because we were bummed the whole time sitting indoors when that's not what we were prepared or dressed for. I think if we would have been seated correctly it could have been worth it.”

“Great little restaurant nestled in the Huntington gardens. We occasionally bring clients and guests to meet with them in a serene and peaceful environment. When we do that, Jade Cafe offers a great lunch spot.”

“I had pizza, garlic twists and spaghetti and meatballs. So authentic, and seasoned to perfection!! Planing my next trip already with my cousins!!!!”

“The blueberry pancakes are delicious. The eggs Benedict is tasty as well. The Macha is sweet so I asked for 50% sweet only but that's only because it's my preference.”

“Always a great dining experience with great service. Kanpai!!!”

“They make the best pizza in SM, Alhambra, and Pasadena. The sauce is superb, the crust is great tasting, and there are many types to enjoy. There are also lots of vegan options.”

“If you haven't been to the The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens for a while... you may not realize they now and growing have 5 different locations to eat within the gardens. Noodle house in the Chinese Gardens, Tea house and patio Cafe in the Rose Garden area. Tea Room now allows you to make reservations on Open Table. Cafe 1919 has a great variety including the Border Grill, Sushi and much more. ... Its all a great compliment to the Fine Art ,gardens ,research and events.... Not a member - The Red Car Cafe and 1919 Cafe are towards the entrance and can be enjoyed by the without entrance fee to the gardens in a great relaxing setting .”

“Need a perfect spot to chill x coffee? Cielo is the place. It's a new and spacious coffee shop in the heart of San Marino. Its Latin inspired menu and perfectly brewed coffee drinks makes it a good addition to the neighborhood. Similarly, they offer wine and beer for customers. And a free wifi.

The UNIT B's former two vendors were also coffee business shops - sadly they didn't last that long. Hopefully with Cielo would last longer. I came early Sunday morning to try their breakfast: chicken pesto sandwich and cafe de olla. Food was good and coffee was perfectly brewed. Prices seem fair. Staff was professional. Service was on point. Street parking and a rear parking lot are available.

Overall, it a chill coffee shop.”

“Always a great place to sit talk and redirect I had a productive visit”

“Delicious food, great value, family owned business, friendly staff, food is much better than the pictures… it’s not a dine in restaurant but they specialize in take out”

“Red car is a nice little coffee shop that conveniently located at the Huntington library (right by the entrance). They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Except drinks and pastries, I'm glad that they also sell Fosselman's ice cream, sandwiches, yoghurt parfait, fruits and snacks in the store. They opens early at 8am, and drinks and food are allowed to bring into the Huntington library.”

“Always fabulous. Great takeout, wonderful items for home or gift giving and just plain delightful to meet friends for coffee and a yummy muffin! ❤️👏🎶👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Super yummy!! Fresh and exquisite”

“Good food,good price, will always go to this location over the one on Valley Blvd in Alhambra👍🏼”

“I love coming here! Great food, friendly service and family run. The village is so charming.”

“We like to go for birthday breakfast, today could have been better.”

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!”

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”

“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!”

“Fantastic meal here! The menu can be a little complicated to fully appreciate, but the staff offered great recommendations. Flavors are excellent, with just the right blend of Latin and South Asian flavors intermixed to create delicious foods.

While we only got to enjoy lunch here, we're excited to come back for some of the creative brunch options and delicious sounding apps/small plates. Definitely come try it when you get a chance.”

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?”

“One of the best meals that I have had!”

“My friend and I had an exquisite dining experience at Bar Sawa. Each course was prepared and presented to perfection. The place was a little tricky to find; there were no signs, and it was in the basement of a very unexpected building. You can also only get down there through the middle elevator! The instructions to get to the restaurant were emailed, but I didn't get to read it in time, so it was my fault. ? We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, ambiance and the entire experience. Highly recommend!”

“The best tacos in California!”

“Our waitress was so helpful, friendly, intuitive and just cool! The food was too good.. like... “need to eat and chill here more so we can try everything” kind of good. The atmosphere was ROMANTIC. Like, modern yet timeless romantic. I felt like I was in a French dream. Best date night place in LA. For sure.”

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

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！”

“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!”
