    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!

    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!!!

    Lunch specials with drink

    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

    Matcha and matcha pastry

    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.

    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!

    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

    Avocado Toast and salad
    James P.

    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. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff including the owner who was so kind and treated us to a delicious dessert. Will be back very soon to try some more dishes from the packed menu.

    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.

    Delicious sandwich and amazing service!! Everything was clean and the menu was easy to understand.

    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.

    Cozy spot in Pasadena with warm atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. Friendly service made our visit enjoyable. A great spot if you're looking for relaxed breakfast or lunch.

    American Dream Breakfast
    Carmen A.

    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 place has an uplifting vibe and staff is super friendly. Robert was fantastic! Highly recommend the American Dream breakfast.

    Never judge the book (or cafe) by its cover. Let's delve right into this humble review. ;D Haha!…read more Kafana Coffee Bar is a nice little coffee shop hidden in South Pasadena that share the same lobby with a gym. They serve breakfast, pastries, coffee and tea (hot/cold) drinks. Their coffee bar is centrally positioned that offers a 360 degree view of the lobby. Seats were very comfortable with a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered an Iced Coffee ($3.27). And it was simple in taste and in appearance but refreshing nonetheless. Service was spot on. Staff was affable and competent. Prices are fair. Offers free wifi and street parking. What captivating for me was their interior design because it kinda reflected that of your own living room with flat screen tv, bookshelves, bar stool, love chair, sofa and a coffee table. Overall, I had a nice experience and somewhat enjoyed my iced coffee; I really like their chill living room vibe. I still recommend this coffee shop.

    If you're looking for a cozy, screen free coffee hangout that feels personal and social friendly…read morespace Two Kids is the spot. We'll definitely be back! It's small and cozy, but that just adds to the charm and creates this intimate, relaxing vibe. Highlights Great public parking behind the shop. The service is fantastic and the two guys that I met were genuinely friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. The shop has a sign saying no laptops inside, and honestly, I loved it. It turns the place into a true social space where people actually talk to each other instead of staring at screens. The seating is thoughtfully arranged facing the windows, so beautiful natural sunlight pours in and gives everything such a warm, uplifting feel. They make their own oat milk in-house, and it makes such a difference our drinks tasted absolutely delicious, rich and smooth. The whole place just has great vibes all around.

The crisp taste of well-brewed coffee and chai is refreshing. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment. Also, this is a "Laptop Free Establishment." They have no available electrical outlets and no customer internet.) I arrived at Two Kids (South Pasadena) on Tuesday (around 12:28PM). Parking is free and available. Two Kids (South Pasadena) is located across from South Pasadena City Hall. There's a competitive, free lot in the rear; it's a "4 Hour Parking Limit." Also, there's available, competitive free street parking. Staff is very mellow, professional, and respectful. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff felt very low stress. This location is surprisingly popular, and Staff easily breaks into friendly conversation. My drink took about three minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Espresso w/ Milk & Chai ($6.75 - Iced). The drink is very underwhelming, but it's 1000% better than any chain coffee joint. The Espresso w/ Milk & Chai had a light enduring caffeine, and its flavor is very basic and simple. I would not drive a long distance for these drinks, but if I lived in the immediate area, this business is an easy spot to incorporate into a daily routine. It's affordable and good enough. On ambiance, Two Kids (South Pasadena) happily embraces its "just good enough" features. It lacks many basic amenities; there's no restroom, no customer internet, and no electrical outlets. They proudly have MANY little signs proclaiming how it's a "laptop free establishment." The location is also small; there's about two counter tables and three tiny stool tables. However, Two Kids (South Pasadena) is comfortable. I especially appreciated the air purifier and the strong ventilation. The place felt airy and refreshing. Also, the stereo system is very clear and with chill music. They even had one tiny bottle of hand sanitizer by the counter. It's also very animal friendly since I saw customers walk inside with their dogs on the leash. Overall, Two Kids (South Pasadena) feels built to serve the local community. It's not an impressive spot, but there's glimpses of passion for locals. If you live nearby Two Kids (South Pasadena), I recommend. It's not bad at all. 4.3 out of 5
