Waited 40 minutes to get a chorizo burrito... Got the burrito and if you want to see the pictures, barely a single bit of chorizo. 0/10 if I could rate it. Customer service was also not warm at all. The employees didn't even know what deal they were running and had to go check their own sign outside. Everybody knows the 626 has good food... but this one chief... is not it.. read more

Art Lunch - 90% cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

This is a cute little eatery with indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of options on the menu. However, they don't offer all menu items, only what's available in the display case in terms of the baked goods, which was limited in the early afternoon this past Saturday. We got the sausage roll, spicy jalapeno and cheese puff, pastrami sandwich, and a smoothie. Flavor was good in each of these, however the sandwich had very little pastrami, the jalapeno and cheese puff wasn't spicy at all, and the descriptions of ingredients for the baked goods was wrong on the menu board. My bf enjoyed his healthy avocado smoothie with plenty of pistachios on top. Service was sufficient, and metered street parking wasn't difficult to find a block away. read more

Art Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stumbled in here during lunch time, and surprisingly was quite empty and I was able to find an empty seat. I liked how quaint the place was, and the decor is pleasant. The only downside was the loud baby that sat directly next to me, but that's not the restaurants fault lol! Food was okay. I had the caprese sandwich with salami and a Caesar salad. The sandwich was pretty good! I liked the flavors and the size of the sandwich. However the Caesar salad was a bust. There was WAY too much dressing, and apparently the dressing is already mixed in, so I couldn't ask for another one. But they were nice and let me choose another side, so I opted for the avocado salad. Not bad. I would come back and try some of their other food options, like the matcha bun looked pretty good! It's a nice place to sit and have a snack/drink with a friend :) read more

Art Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Cute small place adjacent to Old Town Pasadena. Limited seating. Clean, bright, and airy ambiance. Food always looks and tastes fresh with a decent variety, but the pace kind be a bit slow. Servers are nice and attentive. Parking is a bit difficult which can be said for most of Old Town. I've had short ribs, salads, and rolls from there after several visits - all delicious. I also appreciate that they participate in Too Good to Go to mitigate food waste - thanks for being an eco conscious business! read more

Cute little place - not a lot of seating. Expensive but it seems like everything in Pasadena is. Servers were nice. Food seemed healthy. They're not super fast. I'm dinging them a star because my salad came with a container of mustard rather than salad dressing and by the time I realized it I was too far away to do anything about it. D'oh! I ended up not eating much of it because it was also mostly cabbage and I'm not really interested in plain cabbage, nor am I interested in cabbage with mustard on it. read more

Art Lunch is a good casual lunch spot. The employees aren't very welcoming, but they at least aren't rude. Service is pretty quick. There are a few tables inside and outside, and they seem to fill up quickly. Even when busy with both dine-in and take-out customers, the noise level stays relatively mild. The interior is clean and well-decorated. No restrooms. Parking isn't difficult, but it isn't free - either find street parking or park in one of the nearby garages. They have a good variety of food, pastry, and drink options. Those looking for either sweet or savory bites will easily find something to eat. The croissant sandwiches are good and fresh but feel under-filled. The yogurt parfait is good but nothing special. I may come back to try one of their savory pies when I'm in the area again. Prices are fair. Though this is not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit, I would definitely recommend them over the Starbucks around the corner. read more

Art Lunch - Desserts are the best, especially Napaleon - best in town!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here with friends to give it a try. We made a reservation through yelp and the staff was able to clear up a table for us even though we arrived pretty early. There were a few tables but the space wasn't that large. We ordered: -Belgian waffle ($8.99): two pretty small waffles with syrup drizzled on top and some fruits beside it. Very average (3/5) -classic croissant sandwich ($8.49): got it toasted. It has ham, cheese, spinach, and mayo. The first few bites were good but then it started tasting greasy. They put too much mayo. (3/5) -Armenian breakfast ($9.49): comes with eggs (you can choose how it's cooked), bread roll, sliced tomatoes, sliced cheese, puff pastry, arugula, and potatoes. Decent but the puff pastry was salty. Not very filling (3/5) -honey cake: large slice. It was too sweet after a few bites but you could really taste the honey. Overall, the food wasn't impressive. The prices were reasonable. Service was okay cause you order yourself at the counter. When serving our food, they held it out to us instead of placing it into the table. read more

We went here on a whim and so glad we did. We opted for the lunch special - you get a lot of food for what you pay for. So much food that we ended up taking half home! Not a big fan of lemonade but theirs is so refreshing and good. The service was great. Both people working were patient with us while we decided on what to get - answering all the mundane questions we had. They did great with the space they have. It was beautiful, bright, and clean. Can't wait to go back and try their breakfast options! read more

This is a small place in Old Town Pasadena. I ordered takeouts from here a couple times. It's definitely a great surprise! Sorry, we were too hungry and forgot to take pictures of the food. LOL I had the classic sandwich (ham & cheese), classic crossiant sandwich, avocado salad, caesar salad, cinnamon rolls, chocolate crossiant. The food was delicious and fresh! The sandwiches really filled you up, the bread was fresh and soft. I love the salads the most. Both avocado salad and caesar salad were very fresh. It's pleasant surprise for the avocado salad. The combo of avocado and cucumber is awesome! I didn't have this before, I could eat bowls of it. The caesar salad was great too, not overpower with cheese or dressing. Tomatoes and lettuces were juicy and crunchy. Cinnamon rolls were solid and dense, not dry. They were great with coffee or tea. The chocolate crossiant was great, not sweet like other ones I tasted before. This is an awesome place to grab a healthy bite! read more

Loved discovering this awesome cafe, we were looking for a coffee & brunch spot in Pasadena for my dad's birthday. One of the only places where the actual food looks even better than the photos and the photos are beautiful. We got a lemonade, a cappuccino and a matcha latte and everything was 10/10 . The service was beyond amazing , super friendly staff, clean environment ( seating is limited but there is a quick turnover) Highly recommend this cafe ! read more

Had a nice lunch at this new cafe in Old Town Pasadena with some very interesting and unique menu items. Their salads are super fresh and delicious, staff very friendly and eager, and the vibes are relaxed and chic in a great location. Walking in, we were immediately drawn to their numerous pastry and savory food cabinets with artfully made items - the food presentation here definitely puts the art in Art Lunch! Even their cinnamon rolls were voluptuous masterpieces! Their menu has a wide variety of standard and not-so-standard options. Art Lunch is the largest chain in Armenia with branches across Russia and Ukraine as well - so they have lots of interesting menu items that reflect the diverse cultures across those countries, as well as Americanized choices too - something for everyone. They've been around in the East since 2002, but this looks to be their first US based location and has been open for about a month. For our lunches, hubby and I both chose the salad & pie combo. Hubby got the Greek salad with chicken pie and I got the Caesar salad with beef pie. The salads were incredible!! All the veggies were super fresh and vivid in color with a great balance of flavorful dressings. Both of the pies had great flavor - but I had to knock off a star bc they're quite dry unfortunately. And they served them cold which was very strange to me - not sure if they meant to? The meat pies definitely would've been much better served as a hot dish. I would consider ordering them again bc, as I said, the flavor was excellent - I'd just be sure to ask for them warmed at least. The presentation of all their sweet pastries was so beautiful that we couldn't resist stocking up on some for our dessert over the weekend. We took home a couple of cupcakes, a blueberry/curd pastry, and a jalapeño cheese puff. They also have this strikingly unique, long, beautiful cake displayed next to the cash register that they sell in inches - so of course we had to grab a slice of that haha! I'm not sure what the name of that particular cake is but it has a light cream and raspberry jam inside and is topped with a crisp meringue and it's just fantastic- we loved it! The blueberry and curd pastry is also heavenly. Their cupcakes have been moist even over the past 2 days and they have a wonderful flavor - so far we tried the strawberry and cream cupcake and it was excellent. Their prices are a bit high on average, but that's not unusual for the Old Town Pasadena area. Their portions are normal on the lunches but their dessert pastries are quite large. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were all very welcoming and attentive - great service here. Old Town is a great area - Art Lunch has huge windows with views of the bustling area from all their tables - it's very clean inside and conducive to a relaxing meal. Parking is mostly in the garages around Old Town but there is limited street parking in the area too - and it's all very walkable. read more

Came for a Pastries Too Good To Go order and I got a beef empanada, some kind of spinach pastry, and a sweet pastry with an Apple pie filling. The beef empanada was a bit dry, I think it'd be good if it was cooked in some kind of sauce. The spinach pastry was interesting. The apple pie filling thing was good, very cinnamony but in a good way. I didn't care for the breaded part outside but it was cool to try. I may come back to try their other menu items. read more

Their breakfast/lunch specials are such a good deal. Good portions too. The cashier is also so friendly and helpful!
