Also, I really don't like that they are promoting political slogans. Yes, it's free speech and I support free speech.. however, now that I know their political stance, I will unfortunately no longer be giving them business. Best wishes to Altadena beverage and market!

They sell very cute little things, such as dining ware, snacks, cards, jewelry, towel etc. I enjoyed walking around. I saw a cute bracelet in the store, but I was unsure about it. After I went home, I found out that I really like it. I called them and requested them to set it aside, so I can stop by on the following day to purchase it. The lady who answered the phone was super kind and she place the bracelet I like on hold. When I go to pick up the bracelet, they wrapped it very nicely too. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

First impression is that this is a hidden jewel. As I stepped into this pleasant surprise of a…read moremarket, I was in awe of how beautifully laid out it was. The first thing you're going to see in the forefront is fresh produce. I mean really FRESH-looking produce. There were even olives in this section. Those babies looked like they were recently freshly picked. To the far right was a refrigerated section that I did not explore today. Instead, I opted to walk straight ahead to the meat cases. Beautiful marinated chicken wings, pork rib-lets and pork belly greeted me as I walked into protein bliss. The meat offerings were abundant!! In addition, there was a selection of marinated olives, cheeses, salmon and even pastries (located in front of the cold cases). Gaspar, (I'm not sure what his role is there) was so warm and welcoming. He assured me that I will not find better marinated meats. I bought the spicy wings. Will try to update my review with the verdict on those once I air fry them. In the meantime, we must support our local small businesses. This place is inviting and you will likely walk away with something delectable. Give them a try.

There's something undeniably special about Little Flower -- the kind of place that feels stitched…read moreinto the emotional fabric of a neighborhood. The light pours in softly, the pastries somehow always taste nostalgic, and everything carries that rare feeling of being made with actual care. It's one of those spaces where time slows down a little: parents lingering over coffee, friends catching up over tartines, someone quietly reading in the corner while the smell of fresh bread fills the room. The food is consistently beautiful -- comforting without being heavy, thoughtful without trying too hard. You can feel the intention behind the ingredients and the atmosphere alike. It has the warmth of an old California café that's become part of people's routines and memories over the years. The only thing that occasionally breaks the spell is the service. While never outright rude, the staff can sometimes feel moody, curt, or disconnected, which stands out against how welcoming the space itself wants to feel. A little more warmth, attentiveness, or better communication skills would go a long way in making the experience match the heart of the café itself. Still, even with that inconsistency, Little Flower remains one of those places you keep coming back to -- not just for the food, but for the feeling.

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.
