“It was truly a great experience at Agnes yesterday. From the moment I stepped in, the warm ambience made me feel right at home. The food was beyond delicious, with every dish a delightful journey of flavor. The drinks were equally exceptional, expertly crafted and wonderfully complementing the meal. The attention to detail, the genuine warmth and food/drink knowledge of your staff made our brunch truly special. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for culinary enthusiasts like myself. I plan to bring my small family in next time!“
“A beautiful date night spot where you can sit beneath string lights nestled in an alleyway, listening to live music (plus, they have outdoor heaters!). Plates are tapas style and the bar is full, with an advantage for mezcal enthusiasts. Bonus- The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They recommended some drinks for us to try and gave us some suggestions on the entrees. The drinks were great and we recommend the sea bass! Nice atmosphere with good service and lots of mezcal.“
“Great atmosphere, definitely a nice date place. The service was great and friendly. I didn’t have a reservation but they were able to give me a seat at the bar. I ordered the onion soup and beef tartare. Supposedly onion soup is their signature dish, but it was really salty, I was a bit disappointed…. Because it was a $20 bowl of soup. The beef tartare was excellent, it would be nice if they offer one extra slice of bread and some more salad leaves. I was happy that they have half bottle of wine that I can order. Wine list is quite nice.“
“It was our first time there the waitress that helped us was very friendly and nice. I don’t remember her name otherwise I would stated here, but she was working on a Tuesday morning and she was also doing the bar. The food was delicious and her hospitality was very welcoming. I think it made the experience even better. Since it was our first time there she offered To give us garlic bread on the house, that was really nice of her. I’m definitely gonna come back and I will be referring friends and family. By the way, I had the short rib and the brisket with mac & cheese. The brisket was very good, but oh my God the short rib was amazing next time I’ll definitely be getting that again and I might just try the load of baked potato too“
“Such a cute spot for coffee and lunch. They have good sandwiches, croissant, and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seatings available.I ordered:1. Matcha latte with oatmilk2. Chicken pesto sandwich3. El doe sotelo - egg whites, roasted and fresh tomatoes, fresh cilantro, avocado and olive oil. Black beans on the side. This is arepas for breakfast with the choice of scramble eggPaid street parking is available for this Pasadena downtown area.“
“Try to get here as early as you can! I got here probably at 9.40 AM-ish. Definitely a pricey pastry BUT worth to try (and come back to). Probably one of the best croissants I’ve ever had in LA. Flake to perfection, inside is very buttery soft and fluffy. Atmosphere is very cozy and nice to work.“
“I'm not too much a fan of fries these days, but the chicken was incredible! I wish the wasabi flavor came through a bit more, but it was all really good. Very nice owner and employee, great experience all around. A bit expensive for me, but so is everything in Pasadena. They seemed to go really hard in on the branding and I hope it pays off!!“
“This was easily one of the best seafood paellas I’ve tried (I have tried various in Spain as well!). Sangria was delicious as well, not overly sweet which is how we prefer it. Service was impeccable, we are excited to return to this gem in Pasadena.“
“1st time having arepas, I came with my girl and order couple of them , we really loved them, definitely going back to try a tipical dish and some more arepas, and definitely will have to try the chicha I was unlucky this time they didn't have, the girls who helped us are very kind and friendly, explained about the arepas in a very friendly way, the restaurant is very cozy and there is a small outdoor patio , highly recommend this placeParking: Some areas in Pasadena are very difficult to find a free parking I was lucky to find an easy spot right outside of this restaurant, but I'm sure nearby there's free street parking“
“Lets see, where do I begin the SUPERLATIVE Impressions I got from this Sweet, Wholesome, Amazingly Mouthwatering Little Restaurant named "Mediterranean Grill". Now dont be fooled by its simple name. They have a lot of Soul and Heart: Charming, Quaint Location with plenty of Parking. Scrumptiously DELICIOUS, flavorful food; FRESH, Quality Ingredients. The Cleanliness of the whole Place is comforting, with a great flow of Feng Shui lol including the spotless Restroom. Coz you know Girls gotta go several times haha and Finally, the Piece the Resistance lol Management and Service. EDDIE the Manager slash Owner (Im assuming lol) is Such a Great and Pure Hearted Man of God. A Great Leader. With the most Positive, Welcoming, engaging, Kind Attitude to All the customers. I saw him delegating Tasks to his Employees and hes very well Respected. His ELEGANCE in professionalism and the attention to Detail is Exceptional. When I told Him how I wanted my Food in a certain way, he made it to grand PERFECTION. He even made sure to ask me "Did we get it Right, Miss? Do You like it?" To which I answered I LOVE IT. And I Love him, and I love this Place. And lemme tell You, as this is a very BOLD CLAIM to make, but Hey Im a Bold Woman. And I can say it with great CONFIDENCE, this is the best Mediterranean Place in all of Pasadena, perhaps even Los Angeles. Better than Raffi's in Glendale lol Yea I said it. Better than Zankous Chicken, and def Better than Cafe X20 . And trust me all these other places aforementioned are all Good! But "Mediterranean Grill" trumps All of them. You know the Saying "YOU COME for the FOOD, but you Come Back for the SERVICE" well it doesnt get any True-er and better than this wonderful, full of food Dopamine, Satisfying Food, and positive Aura place. Why? Coz Im DEF coming back. And if I cant make it, Im def ordering for Delivery.“
“First time and IMPRESSED! I am not vegan, but I looooveee fries, orange chicken, everything pretty much that is sold here and wanted to try! Service -Staff was really friendly and kind. We actually got to sit in at the one table they had so felt a bit intimate at first, but relaxed our ways in. Staff was friendly, prompt, great! Ambiance- -It has a comfortable, family vibe to it. I love it : ) Food- -Side of fries is seasoned with something I can't quite put my finger on BUT it does remind me of seasoning in other asian type chips! It was quite addicting to me but not the usual spice/savory that I'm used to -Orange chicken bowl: I thought it was delicious! Was it EXACTLY like real chicken? No, but it still had texture to it even while being cauliflower and so I loved that I got to eat something so tasty and textured but also getting some veggies along with it (heh heh). I don't know if I'd come all the time or as a fave spot just yet, BUT down to come again soon and try other things! :)“
“Located right on Green before Wilson, only street parking available. Absolutely love their Thai Tea soft serve. They do have other flavor drinks available, both hot and cold. Freshly made cookies also for sale. You do have the option to make the soft serve into a float with different tea options. If it’s your first time here get the “Trophy” which includes all the toppings except for Oreo crumbs. No tables or public bathroom, just a single bench seat while you wait for your order.“
“My girlfriend and I went to our second Valentine's dinner here last week. Not many places can pull off Valentines Day like Bistro 45 does. Everything came out timely and up to their usual standards. Our favorite waiter Mehdi treated us like family. This is the most consistent restaurant we've ever eaten at. Thank you guys so much! Rick and Linda“
“Visiting from out of town and was so happy to try this entirely gluten free gem! The staff was so friendly, we had breakfast biscuits, donuts, coffee and more. Everything was so good. I also got a caramel bread pudding to go and it was amazing. Like another reviewer said, thank you for existing!!“
“Amazing ice cream with tons of different flavors, handmade everyday. The milkshakes, malts, banana splits, and etc., are just as amazing. The price is just right for premium handmade ice cream. You can even get a pint or a quart of your favorite ice cream(s) to go if you really want. The only downside is that there is no indoors, you order your food through window openings at the counter, while standing outside. But it makes sense, since there really isn't enough room for an indoor section. It's not a big deal though, as once you get your ice cream you can jump back in your car and finish it at home.“
“So philosophizing a bit here. Bear with me. There's baseball seasons where teams play 162 games during the regular campaign. And if they're lucky, one of them wins the World Series. But look at those croissants! Look at 'em! Are you looking? Oh my Gawd! Look closer! Championship croissants, eh? You bet your sweet sack of sugar those things are winners! So here's my thought: For the 2034 MLB season we just declare Delight Pastry as that year's World Series champion. Oh I can hear those annoying, pesky critics now. "Oh but tasty pastries are not baseball teams!" they will whine. Oh yeah? Well 2034 is shaping up to be a tasty year! So it only makes sense! Congratulations!“
“We had some delicious shawarma platters! The number of combinations you can make with the sides and upgrade to the fattoush salad is great. We had one chicken shawarma platter with rice, babaganoush, and labneh and one chicken shawarma platter with fattoush salad, garlic paste, and pita chips. All of it was very tasty. The garlic Toum was particularly good, as was the fattoush salad. Each platter comes with two thin pitas (the best kind). The shawarma was a more stewed chicken with onions and tomatoes than the usual kind of dry shredded off the skewer but it was so flavorful! Maybe best not to get it on rice because the ice absorbs all the liquid. We also got a cilantro jalapeno hummus that had a tiny bit of a kick. Everything was good, and the people were very friendly. We will have to come back to try more things!“
“Loved the variety of ingredients that they had, Great location with lots of parking. The staff was very helpful and very willing to help us out and try our samples. Jedah the staff was very friendly and Norman was very informative about every single ingredient. I would recommend this place for first timers and people who get a lot of açaí! There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Would recommend this place!“
“Come here all the time. Food portions are very generous and the coffee here is great. A bit on the strong side at times but you’re definitely getting your moneys worth. The breakfast burrito, crepe, French Toast combo, and of course their açaí bowls are my favorites. They make a pretty hearty breakfast sandwich as well.Because their portions are big, don’t come here expecting to pick up fast food. The service is not slow. These people work hard to get your food orders ready accurately but wait time for your meal could be anywhere from 10-18 minutes. But when I tell you it’s worth the wait, trust me. I come here before work and order ahead for my lunch breaks.Staff is of course always great and friendly.“
“Amazing food, ambiance, wine, and staff! Tucked away on Holly St., a few blocks over from Colorado. Old town local vibe. Super chill. I've been trying new restaurants in the area and decided to pop in early on a Fri nite. Got a seat at the counter overlooking the chef preparing all the meals. Ordered a rose, very tasty. Short ribs with mash potatoes. Amazing! I will definitely be back to try more things. Highly recommend. We really don't have anything like this in Pasadena.“
“Come earlier to avoid the long waiting time. The waitress is so kind of changing tables for us, because we ordered too much to fit the two person table So, the food comes with large service, order less beginning, add more if necessary. Very pleasant vibes ?. Love it!“
“Flavorful food and great cocktails in an Orleans-vibe atmosphere. I had the braised chicken with peanut sauce. It was super tender. Why can't I carmelize sweet potatoes that good? Husband had jalapeño flank steak. The angel biscuit was straight out of the oven. OMG.“
“So I've been wanting to come since they've opened. Today finally got that chance. I loved the designs in the walls and the colors throughout. We got a flight of beers to try them out. Pale ale, IPA, sour, and sweet and spicy. They were really good. All the ladies there were so kind and helpful. We had a great time. They played great salsa and Latin vibes kind of music. Felt like I wasn't in Pasadena. The manager Martin was really cool and I loved that he's been experimenting with all kinds of fruits . The guava beer and the serrania were my favorite and both on point with the right amount of flavor. They also have food trucks out front. Check their IG for more info.“
“This place is like a wayyyyy better Panera with delicious sandwiches and salads. Also a lot of veggie options and customization in the app. This will become a fairly regular place for us after recent visits. The tofu banh mi is awesome and the salads have so much great tasting and healthy stuff in them. The Japanese chili dressing should be bottled! Definitely try this spot out.“
“There is not very much seating in the inside and it's a very small space. Luckily it was a nice day outside, so we ate there. The Lulu plate was very good. Great seasoned beef matched perfectly with the rice. The chicken gyro was just okay. I like having tzatziki sauce in the gyro and it was not present. Instead, they make theirs with a sauce similar to mayonnaise, so I don't recommend that unless you prefer a more mayo flavor. Overall, good service and sizeable portions.“
“The Earl Grey latte is SO GOOD!! I'd say this shop is a little pricey, but if you sign up for their rewards programs the points stack up past and you'll be getting a free drink or food item before you know it. I love that this coffee shop always has friendly staff and a peaceful atmosphere. Also has some outdoor seating if you want to bring your pup!!“
“Very surprised by the quality. Ordered the ground chicken kebab (koobideh) and the white meat chicken kebab. The flavor and quality was great. Getting chicken Koobideh to be flavorful is an uphill battle since it’s just ground chicken. This was beautifully seasoned, charred and juicy. Generous portions of beautifully cooked rice with salad and grilled vegetables and pita bread round it all out for a very competitive price in this inflation age. I wish there was an M Grill closer to where I live in Joshua Tree.“
“A cute place to get that sweet tasty treat.You can come in and sample the different flavors they have before you finally decide on the ones you want.The waffle cone is the way to go, get the split scoop you’re gonna want more than one flavor.Staff was great, also awesome to see Filipinos representation and flavors that people get to enjoy.Cultures are meant to be shared and appreciated.Love their fusions and seasonal flavors that change, it keep it fresh and allowing to come back to try something new.This place also has pie hole and pressed juicery inside.They have seating area by the window where you can enjoy your treat and people watch.Lots of stores that you can visit on your visit either before or after.Parking garages are close by just be mindful of the time that passes by either parking isn’t too expensive.Dietary restrictions: The have vegan optionsParking: Parking garages in different spots and easy to walk to.It’s for 2 hr parking, pay at the machine, they sometimes have workers there to assist if you get stuck or forget to pay before you exit.There is also metered parkingKid-friendliness: Kids will love coming in to taste the different flavors“
“Couldn't pronounce most items and decided to order a little bit of everything on the menu to try. manta with the works: little dumplings with sauce. The sauce was a bit watery. Not as flavorful as I thought it'd be but fun to try. Su beoreg: some kinda cheese pastry. It was cheesy and delicious Salmon sandwich: big portion and a healthy choice garlic cream soup: not too garlicky. But I loved the little dumplings that came with soup.“
“I had a list of 10 Mediterranean places to go to lunch with my friend in Pasadena and I am glad I narrowed it down to this one. Now, I was a little weary about the food coming out as soon as we were paying BUT the food was pretty amazing. This just tells me that they are super efficient during lunchtime on a Saturday! The food was very flavorable and they have the best garlic spread I have ever eaten in my entire life! We will definitely be back! Not pictured here but don't miss out on the tzatziki either!“
“Wonderful, and super tasty! I was welcomed like family my second time visiting. Joesph has an amazing gift with people and baking! I have been back a couple times since and the yummy spinach pies, lahmajune, and good vibes have been my go to! Simple, yummy, and comfort snacking. Enjoy“
“let me tell keep this description short and straight up: fresh handmade corn tortillas, homestyle braised meat, everything you're looking for in a taco There was free parking (a plus) and the service was super FAST! we didn't wait for more than 5 minutes for our food. there's seating indoor and outdoor. The patio was really nice to sit and eat at because they had heaters and it's entirely covered and shaded. Here's what we ordered: -the OG sampler ($10.49) - includes 6 mini tacos of steak picado, bistek en salsa roja, tinga de pollo, mole poblano, chicarron, & cochinita pibil -tinga de pollo (normal sized $3.79) -cochinita pibil (normal sized $3.79) - we got this with a medium spice level but this was SPICY!! I am someone with pretty high spice tolerance and the spice on this got me“
“Good tacos. Quick service. I tried a variety of their meat options. Was not crazy about the chicharrón but it could be that I prefer chicharrón tacos to have the fried chicharrón, and not the stewed (soft) variety. Overall if you are craving tacos, it is late and you are in the area, this place will not disappoint.“
“Pizza was delicious! Especially the pesto mushroom one. We also had the KBBQ (award winning), which was good but I thought a little too sweet on the sauce. I expected more from the award-winning pizza. Maybe I had my hopes up too much though.“
“Got their ube latte with oat milk and an einspanner. Both drinks are solid - can taste the distinct flavors of each drink without the drinks being too sweet. The parking lot is tiny though (no parking at noon on a weekday) and the coffee shop itself was really stuffy and hot when I went (it was 80 degrees outside and it felt cooler outside). Service was quick - in and out in a few minutes!“
“I recently dined at Atmosphere and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting, and the service was impeccable. The man with the black blazer provided exceptional service throughout the evening. As for the food, dinner exceeded my expectations – it was absolutely delicious. I had previously visited for lunch and wasn’t as satisfied, but I’m glad I gave it another try for dinner. I highly recommend trying the dinner menu; it’s definitely worth it!“
“Went 1-15-24. So good. Long line to get in about 7:00 pm on a weekend. The ice cream is worth the wait. They encourage you to try flavors but all of them are good. Person working behind the counter making waffle cones was doing an amazing job. I will definitely be coming back for more. Got a split scoop with two different flavors in a cup to go.“
“This quaint shop in Pasadena is a nice spot if you're in the area and looking for a sweet treat. I came here after visiting the pizza place next door. The lady helped me decide on what ice cream to get, and the service was friendly and efficient. The ice cream was tasty, great temperature (not too hard to scoop with my spoon), and no freezer burn. It's worth a try if you're already in the area or plan to be.“
“I came here today for the first time and the food was great, there was barely a line before the lunch rush, the amount of food you get is better than in n out in my opinion for the price you you pay, there is parking on the street and a very small parking lot on the side but looks like the parking lot is for residential parking. Either way I do recommend trying this place at least once .“

“Historical Pasadena restaurant that some people forget about. I hadn’t been here for years until this evening. I’d give 5 stars, but my pork chop was dry and little overcooked. Everything else was wonderful, including the drinks. It’s very intimate inside, but as the restaurant fills up it gets quite loud. The patio is covered and heated, but you may find yourself having to talk over the nearby tables or road noise. Valet parking only, $8 at the time of this review. There is street parking available on Fair Oaks though.“
“One of my go to restaurants in Pasadena, highly recommended! Excellent service with incredible favors! Outstanding french dishes like Escargo, Confit de Canard, and Carré d'Agneau à la Fleur de Lavande. This is the restaurants I take people to when they visit me.“
“Cute cafe/boba shop in Old Town Pasadena! I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba. They have all the different levels of customization, like ice and sugar levels, milk options, and toppings. My drink hit the spot and the boba was cooked perfectly to qq texture. Lots of seating, too:“
“I love to come to this taco stand; the service is always prompt and the owners are very kind. The food is absolutely incredible and they usually have an Agua Fresca (horchata most of the time) and it's always delicious as well. They accept cash or zelle!“
“i never leave reviews but this has been so wonderful i had to!! all the staff went out of their way to welcome me in. The patio was adorable. The food came out so quickly, and was delicious (and i moved here from texas!) highly recommend :)“
“I just came across this place yesterday and I'm honestly sad I didn't find it sooner! I was driving up Sierra Madre Blvd when I became intrigued by a sign reading "Yerba Mate Bar" and naturally insisted that my husband veer off the road so I could check it out. When I walked into this small shop I was met by the sounds of bossa nova and a cozy bar with a colorful yet chic aesthetic. The place has a chill vibe that is perfect for reading, studying, creative work, or just hanging out with friends. I enjoyed chatting with the owner, Juan, who is a very friendly and cool person and who has excellent customer service. When it came to the food and drink, I had high expectations, which were quickly exceeded. Everything is made with fresh, organic ingredients, so the food and drinks are not only incredibly clean, but also unmistakably delicious and refreshing. I enjoyed the cold brewed "gogo ginger" mate, draft tulsi mate, and ordered a guava lemonade for my husband--all of them were fantastic. I also thought I'd be indulgent and try a spinach empanada. Let me simply say this was the best empanada I have ever tasted. The pastry dough was the perfect texture and so light (unlike a lot of heavy, stodgy empanadas I've had), and the filling was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. It came with a fresh chimichurri sauce on the side which somehow managed to make it even better. Suffice to say, I can't wait to come back to this spot and treat myself and loved ones. I've already talked my husband's ear off about this place, and plan to tell anyone else who will listen. Yes, it really is the good!“
“Hip and modern cafeCome and check out their menuThey have both indoor and outdoor.Got Costa Rica pour over, purple Carmel latte (with Ube?), sea latte Carmel cappuccinoGreat drinksThe pour over is fragrant and delicious.Purple Carmel was delicious definitely recommend.They had live dj playing while we were here.Parking: Street parking recommended or neighborhood parking“
“This restaurant is amazing! The food is cooked as if it came from a tiny restaurant with an Italian nonna in the kitchen. The ingredients are fresh and the meals generous in size. The pizzas are HUGE! The minestrone has big sized veggies whose freshness you can taste in every bite. Every dish can feed you at least once, and there are plenty of choices such as pasta carbonara, chicken piccata, sandwiches, empanadas, salads, etc. We have only used outdoor seating and it was pouring rain the last time we went. They had prepared for that with large canopies and even offered dessert on the house. Desserts are hard to choose as each delicacy is mouth-watering. Offerings include a variety of gelato, cheesecake, a pistachio-based pastry, tiramisu, chocolate cookies, and cherry tarts, to name a few. Parking is a little bit of a challenge if you arrive late. There is street parking and some paid parking. You may want to park on Colorado as parking is free after 6pm. If you are a MAD magazine fan, you'll get a kick out if visiting this hole-in-the-wall, awesome restaurant!Vegetarian options: Salads, soups, risotto or pasta dishes.“
“My friends and I had lunch this afternoon for the first time at his establishment.The food was delicious. We recommend the different saltado dishes as well as the tallarin Verde con pollo.The atmosphere was great. We enjoyed the outdoor patio as seating was comfortable bench style with shade covers plus a large screen TV. The music was good yet it was not to loud.The establishment has its own parking.I'll definitely come back to try the different dishes.“
“We enjoyed our meal. The service was top-notch and very friendly. Adrien, the manager, was wonderful and assured my friend that she could eat without fear of her allergies to nuts and shellfish. We both got burgers and fries-- mine was the veggie burger. I would eat there again.Vegetarian options: The veggie burger was the best I've ever had. It was full of flavor!Dietary restrictions: My friend has allergies to nuts and shellfish and was able to eat here.“
“If I could give the service a 10000/5 I would. The entire staff was AMAZING. Attentive, thoughtful and all around kind guys. The chicken tenders and the comeback sauce were so flippen delicious! If you are nearby, this is a MUST STOP destination.“
