I went to Artisanal Goods for coffee with my friend Amelia G., who lives in neighborhood. The place…read morewas packed at like 10:00 on a Tuesday morning, with a line to order and every table occupied the whole time we were there. I guess this is the spot for coffee and pastries in Pasadena. It was a cute shop with a millennial-friendly aesthetic. Brick walls, exposed ceiling, and lots of hanging lights. Case full of beautiful pastries, house chocolates and merchandise for sale. The line moved quickly enough, and service was friendly and reasonably fast. A table opened up for us when we needed it, and we sat and enjoyed our coffee and pastry. I got a salted honey latte, which was delicious. I'm not a habitual coffee drinker, and this felt like a special indulgent little treat. I'm not a pastry person either, but the kougin amann was fantastic, rich and buttery and shatteringly crispy. I also got a chocolate croissant to go for my husband, who said it was really good. We sat for maybe half an hour, and when we left, someone was there to take our spot, and we had to squeeze past the line that was coming through the door. I don't like coffee and sweets enough to do all that on a regular basis, but I enjoyed my visit to Artisanal Goods and would recommend it if you want top notch pastries in Pasadena.

I was able to find parking nearby luckily and that was probably the hardest part. However, it was also really hot that day so I came prepared with a big hat because I saw the line wrap around the building. I was able to catch it when I was at a lull and the line moved pretty quick. A couple of other items that looked really good that I need to try. I know there is some seasonal items that sell out really quick to keep an eye out of. The chocolate croissant was great and I'll have to wait to try some of their other items next time which I also hear is amazing. The dining area isn't the biggest popular places. It's probably not the easiest to find a spot to sit and enjoy unless you time it correctly.

The salmon/ lox itself was super good and tasted amazing . The cucumber and radish provided a good crunch .

Every bread i've had here is insanely delicious and perfect. The walnut whole grain sourdough is probably the best bread i've ever had in my life. The sandwich/food menu is pricey, but everything is in 2026--I think we're just not used to it yet. They have a line every morning and sell out every day for a reason.

The owner should thank Nana's for a lot of 'accidental' new customers. As a mango dessert maven I was delighted to find at least 3 kinds of mango concoctions. I got the "Mango Delight" (1/2 mango and 1/2 white chocolate moussee) it was so yummy and refreshing! I wish they also had mango eclair then I would come here every week! Will try their gelato next time.

She was given a "Congratulations Aline & Charlie" white cake. I was very upset with the fact that 1. This is clearly not my cake 2. Not even the flavor I wanted 3. Both cakes were for an event. My event was slightly ruined due to having the incorrect cake handed to my sister. According to her the lady at the register just looked at the receipt and handed her a cake, my sister asked if she had to pay to which the lady at the front said no, (I did not pay online I received a call later that day). I was unable to take the cake back due to the location being closed at the time I got home and now it is Monday 11/24/25 and I am unable to get a new/replacement cake and I was unable to get a hold of someone from this location. I will have to wait until Tuesday 11/25/25.
