    Art Lunch is absolutely a delightful place to go to. The cafe is clean and organized. It has chill vibes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a wide selection of food, drinks and desserts. The menu includes daily specials, breakfast specials, omelettes, quesadillas, burritos, pancakes, sandwiches and rolls , French toast, grilled toast sandwiches, lunch signature, lunch main course, pasta, salads, soups, desserts and more. Everything looks tempting and irresistible. We ordered the following: - Salmon Croissant 5/5 The croissant was flaky and buttery enriched with the smoky flavor of salmon and the creaminess of ranch - Ciabatta Caprese 5/5 It had fresh mozzarella with juicy tomato , pesto sauce, and fresh basil. My goodness! It was a piece of art! - Pistachio Baklava 5/5 Rich, nutty, flaky and had perfect sweetness. - Chocolate Cake 5/5 Moist, chocolatey, fluffy and decadent. The staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was excellent. We had such a great experience at Art Lunch. Definitely, I will be back more times.

    Visited art lunch today and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. The menu has variety of options, it's diverse and inclusive. They also serve plenty of healthy options. People who work there are sweet and attentive, costumer service is on a different level. We were also treated with complimentary watermelon and blueberries. We ordered English breakfast and Armenian breakfast and both were exceptional. Highly recommend to stop for brunch or simply for tea or coffee since they have a wide range of dessert options. Will definitely be back!

    Honey Cake
    Anastasiia O.

    A very cozy café. We ordered the Armenian breakfast--it was delicious. And the honey cake was a 7 out of 10. There was no line early in the morning on the weekend.

    We really enjoyed this place. The portions are big, and the food tastes like something you'd expect from a high-end restaurant. The prices are very affordable, the place is clean, and the service is excellent and fast. And oh yes-don't forget to try the avocado, spinach, honey & pistachio smoothie. It's an absolute must! So good!

    They offer a Breakfast Special Deal. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito and it was great! The tortilla was nicely grilled. The menu was extensive and there are many things to try. Might come back to try something else.

    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

    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

    Philly cheese steak

    We found this place by chance by seeing an instagram advertisement by a YouTuber, the cafe is on Colorado street. Very clean and trendy. The food quality does not disappoint. We tried the Armenian omelette and omg it was awesome! Highly recommended! The drinks were great, the drip coffee was high quality. They have a good variety of pastries, macaroons and baklava. The Best part was the service provided by the two kind young gentlemen, Aro and Vahag. They were very professional and attentive, even it was busy and it was only two of them there. Loved this place and definitely will come back...

    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!

    Matcha and matcha pastry
    Ria P.

    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.

    Hot Latte, Egg Breakfast Burrito, Croissant
    Jamie G.

    Walked in and Nelly Furtado was playing, immediately knew I loved this place! The employee working was very kind, card declined and they let me pay in cash. The service was above and beyond my expectations! The seating is wonderful, you can see the lovely outdoors from any table! The food was absolutely amazing, the fruit was fresh and zesty, the pancakes were soft yet crisped, and the chorizo burrito had real chorizo and was absolutely delicious! The strawberries were topped with a strawberry syrup, and overall the food was excellent. Will definitely be coming back soon and recommending this gem to friends

My bf's country fried steak, he was disappointed that the steak didn't even look fried. He wasn't really a fan of his order lol. I thought the potatoes were pretty decent, although I wish they were cut smaller into like breakfast potatoes. They were so chunky, but also wish they could be fried more. Overall, I feel like we chose the wrong items from this place lol, but these were the items highlighted on the Yelp page? Maybe it didn't help that we were seated next to the kitchen or a cart full of dirty dishes bc I just kept smelling that as we were eating.

Our food took quite a while to arrive, close to 30 mins! But the staff was very apologetic and even brought us a complimentary muffin while we waited. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. I swapped the bacon for tofu, and it made for a satisfying breakfast. However, my husband wasn't as impressed with his brisket burrito, saying it was a bit dry. Based on this visit, I'd recommend sticking with the breakfast items, pastries, and of course, the coffee. Copa Vida still makes a great cup of coffee!

When I ordered a matcha, the employee asked if regular milk was okay, and I said oat milk was fine. However, I was never informed that oat milk was an additional $1 charge. She also never asked what size I wanted and then told me to pay. When I looked at the screen, I saw that the total was $7 for a large. I only wanted to spend around $5-$6, so I asked if I could get a small instead. I was surprised to see that the price was still the same. When I asked why, she then explained that oat milk was a $1 up charge and she didn't charge me on the large order for oatmilk. I don't mind paying the extra dollar, but I feel customers should be informed about an additional charge before being charged for it. Also, if getting a large was actually the better deal, I would have appreciated being told that. What made the interaction more frustrating was that the employee seemed distracted and dismissive while her coworker was talking to her. I ended up getting the small, even though I was confused about the pricing. The matcha itself was good, but unfortunately, because of the customer service experience, I don't think I'll be returning. I don't expect anything special--just clear communication about pricing and to be asked what size I'd like before being charged.

    The Reyn is a popular breakfast spot in Pasadena and a place I still visit from time to time,…read moreusually when meeting friends or colleagues. Despite its popularity, I find the food to be fairly average. Much of it tastes like it's made from standard commercial food-service ingredients rather than prepared fresh. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, the dining room has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is generally attentive. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood breakfast restaurant - nothing particularly memorable, but nothing especially disappointing either. The Reyn Special - 3/5. A classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and banana bread. The eggs and bacon are fairly average, although the bacon tends to be overcooked and dry. The standout is the hash browns. They're cooked with a nicely browned, crispy crust while still remaining fairly moist inside. The real highlight, however, is the banana bread. It tastes homemade and is easily the best item on the plate. Crepes - 1/5. This dish comes as two separate plates: one with the ricotta-filled crepes and another with eggs, sausage, bacon, and your choice of fries or tater tots. Unfortunately, the crepes are the weakest part of the meal. The ricotta-filled crepes don't taste freshly made and instead resemble a pre-made food-service product that's simply reheated before serving. Both the crepe and ricotta filling have a generic flavor with noticeable artificial notes. You can choose either banana or strawberry topping, but both sauces taste overly processed and artificial. The accompanying breakfast plate is noticeably better. I chose the tater tots, which were well prepared - crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. The bacon, however, was again overcooked and dry, making it tough to chew. The sausage was acceptable but unremarkable. Scrambled Supreme - 2.5/5. Despite the name, this is essentially an omelet. The eggs have a mild, neutral flavor, and the fillings are okay but don't stand out. Coffee - 2/5. The coffee is classic diner coffee in every sense. It's somewhat watery, heavily roasted, and finishes with a flat, slightly bitter aftertaste. It's neither particularly good nor particularly bad - just standard coffee that does the job. Overall, The Reyn succeeds as a comfortable, affordable breakfast spot with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. While the food is average, and several dishes rely on ingredients that taste commercially prepared rather than freshly made.

I also consistently ordered the steak tartare but something about it fell flat. It didnt taste fresh and lacked the umami that it had the prev times ive ordered. Service was fine. Nothing amazing but nothing bad. Id still come back. I want to try the dishes that theyre known for bc ive only ever ordered a bunch of small plates. Hopefully my experience next time will be better
