Must try their golden turmeric latte!! I always like it order it hot no matter what the weather is like. Very aromatic.

Great place for breakfast and to relax, service is amazing. Is my second time coming to visit this place. Definitely going to recommend to my friends and family. read more

A cozy cafe in the heart of Pasadena. I really enjoyed it here.The service was good and the food delicious

Cute cafe with indoor and sidewalk seating. Deli case full of quick grab fresh salads, pastries, and sandwiches. We ate in for an early lunch - food was fresh and delicious! Staff is super friendly and helpful. I would definitely return. read more

On a recent visit to Los Angeles and specifically Pasadena, I found this gem of a cafe. I travel a lot for work and always like to find a good quality breakfast burrito. This place has lots of options for breakfast burritos. The barista was also able to make a specific coffee for me that wasn't on the menu. Staff were friendly and attentive. I even scored a complimentary cinnamon bun which was delicious. The salads looked good too. Will definitely be back. Relaxing vibe, light colours and fresh decor. If you are looking for a breakfast/lunch spot, check out Art Lunch in Pasadena. Definitely worth it! read more

Honestly, not very impressed with this place. First things first let's talk about the welcoming I received from the young guy working....not a hello how are you nothing and no acknowledgment from the other lady that was working It was straight up What do you need? I had mentioned that I had two, too good to go orders to pick up. Immediately He had them bagged which had me a little red flagged because was the stuff just sitting there? Indeed the stuff was just sitting there. I ordered two different boxes, a lunchbox and a sandwich box and I will say the best thing out of both of my boxes was the cinnamon roll. Damn good cinnamon roll must I say but let's talk about the salads. They gave me two salads one in each box of the same kind however one had absolutely no feta cheese and one had like a piece and half they were very very stingy with the feta. They gave me an Italian sandwich for the sandwich box, but for the other box, they gave me half of a super soggy veggie wrap and when I say veggie wrap I mean literally all lettuce and some tomatoes. It was very disappointing. No sauce on the side or anything. I'm just curious how a business like this is supposed to attract more customers when they offer items like that to people that have never even truly heard of their restaurant. Most customers on too good to go to genuinely trying new restaurants and not being cheap and getting a cheaper meal. We just want to try a new places so it was a little bit disappointing that they cut corners this bad to the people genuinely inquiring about the food here. read more

Delicious! This place never lets me down. Super healthy feeling and large portions. Me and my staff sat outside because I had my dog. The inside is clean and very welcoming and the man who took my order was extremely friendly. I will be coming back. They have great salads and sandwhich options and OMG their honey cake was amazing! I forgot to take a picture!!! read more

It just got better and better as I walked in and ordered then eat and paid. All five star experience. I walked it a small beautiful and clean cafe in Pasadena . Fist impression it might be pricey. BUT ! Lunch specials and other plated even less pricy than most places I have been. Quality of food was homemade . Usually I don't use this term loosely. But here you can actually see the chef and she is making it fresh. I checked . Music was spot on for this type of Cafe . Service was out of this world and the guys working there very kind and knowledgeable. It's downtown Pasadena and parking is on you. All these for under 18$ ?????? HOW ??? Highly recommend for lunch or date . One of top tear places that deserves 6 star read more

Randomly decided to go into this place when we needed a quick snack and it was such a good new find. Would so go again and get a latte and work there. Anyways their matcha puff was very yummy! It wasn't too flaky, but it was airy and not overly sweetened so I really did like it. Would go back and try their actual meals that are on the menu. read more

Such a cool find! We were initially going for lunch but they had a breakfast burrito special that was too hard to resist! Their American Breakfast was absolutely stacked to the max with protein, eggs, and it even came with pancakes! I tried their bacon burrito and it wasn't greasy at all. The cheese blend worked very well with the eggs and potato and balanced out the bacon. The staff were really nice and patient with us. Definitely my next visit when I come back! read more

Slightly underwhelming. The visit didn't start off on a great foot. I arrived at 7 when they opened and I stood at the front waiting, there were 2 workers in the back that saw me and didn't say anything. 7 minutes later someone comes up to the front door and unlocks it. I gather the staff that was already in the building are not front of house but seeing as how they saw me it would have been courteous to acknowledge me and let me know the opener should be arriving shortly. I was picking up a Too Good To Go bag which was a good value, I received a sandwich, croissant, and one other pastry. Since I was there I ordered a hot matcha tea. I was disappointed to see him merely pour hot water into a paper cup and add matcha without the traditional whisking. That resulted in a not very smooth matcha. I will say they have a really cute space and what looks like some other really good items on their menu so it's a toss up if I would come back. The focaccia was not to my liking, the bread was ok. But the olives had a strange taste to them and while I like spice there was a strange spiciness to it that didn't pair well with the flavors. The sandwich I got was decent, it reminded me of a school lunch which was kind of nostalgic. I beefed it up with a few home ingredients which made it better but I will say I really loved the ciabatta they use. Overall they are average, if in the area I might stop in but wouldn't go out of my way read more

Art Lunch - Oak Plank Baked Salmon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

We were actually going to go grab some ice cream in downtown Pasadena after hanging out at the convention center for Cat Con but after walking past by, we saw that they had a pretty decent lunch special deal and we wanted to grab it within the last 30-40 or so minutes before they closed. Yay for spontaneous adventures! Service was friendly and they were accommodating to people even if they were entering in the last 5 minutes. As this place also doubles as a bakery though, just know that some things are sold out towards the end of the day or cannot be feasibly concocted for you for take out without disgustingly extending their hours. But that's just common sense though, right? Hopefully. Either way, the restaurant is quite cute and has a little bit of fancy flair to it. I can see it being a great place to grab a coffee and pastry or to have a fancy brunch to catch up with someone. Or if you just want to sit back and relax or catch up on some work or studying. It's refreshing mix of wood, brick, and greenery. For the lunch special that drew us in, we got the: Armenian Breakfast. Pretty unique as you can get either the standard American breakfast, or you can be more adventurous and get French, English (complete with baked beans), or the Armenian like we did. The Armenian Breakfast we got included: a choice of 2 eggs (we got over easy, feta cheese, Armenian gata (an Armenian sweet bread pastry), their homemade bread, green salad with vinaigrette, potato wedges, and a coffee. Boyfriend got the iced coffee no sugar and it helped him wake up from the midafternoon sleepies. Pretty sizeable dish and easily shareable if you want to eat something else in downtown a bit later. Bread was delicious and went great dipping into the egg yolk. The gata was a bit dry, but I'm sure you're supposed to enjoy this with the coffee. I'm a sucker for potatoes so I just snacked on these throughout the entire meal. You can never go wrong with breakfast and you can't go wrong with eating it here. read more

A fantastic lunch experience here. It felt nice to sit outside on a relaxing Saturday in PasadenaAll the food was delicious but my highlight was the avocado toast with sunny side up eggs.

Art Lunch is my go-to spot in Pasadena for a solid, healthy meal. Their menu is full of fresh vegetables and delicious lean protein options, and when I'm craving something sweet, their pastries are AMAZING. What makes Art Lunch special, though, is the people. Hakob, the owner, runs his business with genuine care and consideration for his customers--he always greets me when I walk in and takes the time to recognize familiar faces. Aro at the register is just as wonderful: always kind, welcoming, and a pleasure to catch up with. It really feels like a family here, and you sense it the moment you walk through the door. read more

The cafe is very cute and the staff is friendly, the food looked great, but missed the mark. My veggie omelet was quite greasy, and the frozen hash brown was undercooked in the middle and tasted like old oil. Even the sausage felt like standard fast food. My husband's food wasn't seasoned well either. We haven't tried their pastries, but they looked good--perhaps that's the safer bet. You order and pay (with tip) at the counter first. read more

Absolutely divine. I'm not one to like sausage this way but my gosh were these tasty. The salad, silly as it may sound was my favorite. Potatoes were soft, yet flaky.

The waffles appear perfectly crisp on the outside while soft inside, and the combination of juicy fruit with silky chocolate creates that perfect balance of sweetness and freshness. The addition of macarons adds a lovely elegant touch. The bright pink drink is equally impressive -- refreshing, beautifully colored, and topped with fresh mint for a clean finish. It looks like the perfect companion to the decadent platter. Overall, this feels like a brunch experience that's both indulgent and elevated. Visually stunning, generously portioned, and irresistibly inviting. Would absolutely order again! read more

Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning. The place is pretty small but cozy. We ordered at the counter and got the American dream breakfast, the waffle with eggs, salmon and avocado, a latte and an orange juice. Took a while for the food to come out, but you could tell it was freshly prepared. The American dream breakfast is huge ! The scrambled eggs were only meh, the bacon, potatoes and veggies were good and the pancakes were great. My wife really enjoyed her meal, especially the poached eggs. We also got a piece of the pistachio baklava to go. Overall we were happy with our breakfast and would give it another try if we're back in the area. Staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Happened upon this place through Too Good to Go which posted a selection of "Baked Goods" available for a 30-minute window right before closing time. In this case, it was a Saturday between 5:30 and 6:00 pm. Distance-wise I wasn't too far away, but there was traffic on the local roads, and I had to look for parking. I gave the restaurant a call to let them know I was running late. Fortunately, they said they would stick around longer. Literally running after I found a spot to park, I arrived a little past 6:05pm, and from the outside peering in the interior was brightly lit with a classic, almost homely feel. A lady who had just walked out came back in when she noticed me. I told her I had just called, so she went into the kitchen. A few moments later, a man came out with a paper bag of the baked goods. After verifying the order on the app, I was on my way. I received a potato pie, a spinach & cheese pie, and a cheese puff pastry all of which were already down to room temperature. The potato pie was packed with mash and had a rich, buttery taste. The spinach & cheese pie was definitely cheesy in a good way which balanced well with the spinach. Finally, the cheese puff pastry was flaky and also packed the cheesiness. Solid baked goods all around. read more

What was once a vegan bakery has now converted into an adorable cafe under the same ownership. The food was scrumptious and the portions were generous. My friend ordered the Armenian breakfast while I ordered a caprese sandwich, and the presentation of both plates was on point. They asked if I wanted my sandwich hot or cold, so it was actually served as a pressed panini, and every bite was delightful. I also enjoyed the salad and potato wedges that came with my friend's breakfast. Everything just tasted so fresh and high quality. All in all, Art Lunch is a cute cafe with good food and good service. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more
