Once we got to the counter everything was quick because they just pack everything up right away. I ordered the Spinach Feta Croissant ($8.40), Berry Danish ($6.95), and Turkey Ham & Gruyere Croissant ($8.50). The berry danish was cleared out at the front glass but I asked if they had more coming in the back and luckily they did. The other two were ordered from the glass displays. I wouldn't say they're the best croissants I've ever had, but they were still pretty good. Only thing with the ham and cheese croissant was that I cut it in half the short way to share (so you would think both halves would have an even distribution of everything) but all the ham was pushed to one side that their half literally had no ham in it. There were a lot of other things on display that looked really good so when I venture out to this part of town I'll have to come back and give those a try. I definitely recommend coming in early because a lot of things in the front displays were cleared out by the time we got to the front. They do keep making more but it's not a guarantee.

While we missed out on the pastries, we each got to try their bread in our respective meals which were well buttered and toasted and had a nice crunchy outside and a soft chewy inside. My friend basically inhaled her croque monsieur, and I kept marveling at each element of my meal: cashew cheese with a salsa macha, a marinated wild mushroom, and an avocado for texture to put on my delicious toast.

Every bite seemed to get better and better! It was slightly sweet and refreshing at the same time. The fresh mint garnish was such a nice touch--it really helped reset the palate between bites. And then there were the little sprinkles of chili powder! I didn't notice them at first, but that subtle kick was such a fun surprise and added another layer of flavor. 10/10 for me! And I have to mention the blueberry scone. It was SO good that I ate it before my main meal! That should tell you everything you need to know. Overall, this is such a super cute establishment with delicious, thoughtfully prepared food. I'll definitely be back to try

Not wanting to leave empty handed, I decided to get a few slices of cake instead. And boy am I glad I did! So far I've tried their red velvet cake, vanilla cake with strawberry frosting, and a seasonal strawberry cake. The cakes were all rich and on the denser side, and were a cross between moist and crumbly. Each cake also paired exceptionally well with the velvety thick frosting. So the backup plan was a rousing success, as all three cake slices were fabulously indulgent and the perfect treat. ****************** 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.

We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get.

The cafe itself was pretty small with 3 small tables, 1 big table, and bar seatings with charging ports. The bathroom was closed and it was really warm inside. I couldn't see myself studying or staying too long, which may be for the best since parking is tricky and street parking has a 2 hour limit. An okay experience, but I don't see myself coming back.

I kind of like that no one is allowed inside except the workers. It makes me feel like the food is less likely to be contaminated by people getting close to it or breathing/talking over it like at other coffee shops or bakeries.

I've been going to the original for a number of years. I'll just make a few comparison points between the original & the New Euro Pane Bakery Cafes. Bakery items: Quality excellent & quantity is good at both but the New has the edge because of greater quantity. Soups: Very good at both. However, normally 2-3 soups at New, while only a soup of the day at the Old. Sandwiches: Maybe The Best sandwich place in Pasadena!!!! No Kidding. However they are a bit better tasting at the Old place. Even their World Famous Egg Salad sandwich (ess) is still a little better at the Original. In fact, their ESS is only the 3rd best sw at EPane in my humble opinion! They have 2 others I would want to eat 1st! Service: usually a weak point with eateries, including EuroPane. However, service is as good as it's ever been there since I've been going. But I sense a slightly friendlier vibe at the original. Customers: basically each Euro Pane has it's own distinctive brand of customer. Shoppers, tourists, Government workers at the New. The original has a greater mix of old-timers & local Pasadenan's. Ambiance: you don't go here if that is one of your top 2 concerns. Unpretentious especially at the original EP. Quality food, pastries, & good Jones Roasters coffee at a relatively good price is what you want here. Overall, it's a High-5!! to now have 2 Euro Pane Bakery Cafes in Pasadena - similar but different, with their own strengths! read more

I visited this café hoping to start my day on a positive note, but unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing. The lady at the counter -- an older woman wearing glasses -- was noticeably rude to me. She wasn't wearing a name tag, so I can't identify her by name. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that she seemed warm and friendly to the customer before me, speaking what I believe was Spanish. But with me, as an Asian customer, her demeanor changed drastically -- curt, unwelcoming, and unpleasant. I'm not sure what the reason was, but it felt discriminatory. No one should be made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, especially at a place that serves the public. I hope the management addresses this kind of behavior, as it can truly ruin someone's day. read more

How an egg sandwich be so good?!?!!! This egg sandwich is something else from the bread they use to the way they cook the egg. It is heavenly. But even better are their macarons. They are by far the best I've had. And I have tried them even from the most famous one from Paris!!! My favorite is the Salted Caramel and the Passion fruit. They are on the pricy side but they are bigger than the normal sized macarons. They give you more for what you are paying for. I have been to both locations. I think the one closer to old town the parking is a little harder to deal with than the one closer to PCC. Come to this place to grab some pastries for the foodie. They will be impressed! read more

Neat store and restaurant and you can stand street side to look in the windows and watch bread being made you can also smell this very same bread being made, and it smells so good. So many different kinds, including breads in fun shapes . We stopped back several times to buy assorted baked goods and items for our kitchen and friends. A trip to Pasadena requires a true sourdough tasting experience, and this put all breads back home to shame. If only it weren't so far away from home Minneapolis. Nice little outdoor eating area alongside the pier, as well as inside seating. read more

Flies, Flies, Flies and smidgen of poor customer service. Europane offers some of the best pastry offerings I've yet found in California and unlike many self styled 'European Bakeries' these actually are reminiscent of real European cafe fare. To top it off it is close to work so i figured I had a great daily go-to place. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be - this place makes absolutely no effort to control flies - the main glass display has no back doors allowing flies to buzz around inside and land on everything - absolutely disgusting. read more

All the ingredients tasted fresh and the staff who made it was very friendly too. On top of the sandwich, I also had a lemonade and that was also very good. Overall, The Munch Company is the perfect little sandwich shop in South Pasadena and the perfect place to have a nice lunch. Any complaints from me? Not really, so shutup and come order a sandwich.
