    We were at the park across the street and wanted a snack so came to check this store out. We tried a blueberry scone. It was delicious! - perfect texture. They have some indoor seating. Staff was very nice.

    Dropped by and got a few trinkets from this place today, they sell food, stickers, toys, odds and ends! Love their cards as well. I don't get a chance to eat here but I've been told their sandwiches and cookies are to die for! The workers were very friendly and helpful, I can't wait to come and eat on their patio soon! Love the old times feel inside, very reminiscent of an old diner.

    I love Liz ,this beautiful owner who goes above and beyond to make all the delicious sandwiches and desserts from scratch ! This is a very cute and special local diner near by the Cal tech / PCC district in Pasadena . They offer all types of special tea selections you can hand picked yourself . I really liked the home made cookies , apple pies and most delicious varieties of sandwiches I've ever tasted . They do take customized orders for birthday cakes and other of their specialty items on the menu ! Everything are home made and give you that home made TLC from their kitchen ! I love this easy going vibe this comer has to offer ! Services is fast , friendly and efficient ! Five stars all the way !they treat their customers like family and it is genuinely a very special feeling dining with them

    This is a very cute little retro Café/Bakery/Corner Store. They have delicious coffee, I tried the lavender latte, and it was really tasty. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious, so are their fresh salads. They also offer soups, quiche, coffee cakes, and various other baked items that are made in- house. The ones that I have tried so far are all delicious. When you enter this establishment, it looks like a little retro store with candy, kitchen items, and other little knickknacks. To order your food, you go to the counter. There Is some seating inside and they also have several wooden little tables outside with chairs and umbrellas. Sitting there, you have a nice view of the mountains and the little park that's right across the street. I really enjoyed my visit here. The staff is super friendly and I cannot wait to come back and try some other items on their menu. I would definitely recommend this place, but please beware that their kitchen closes at 2:30pm and the Café itself closes at 3pm. Beautiful little neighborhood gem!

    Met Fellow Yelper Jessica :))))) at Ginger Corner Market. What a fun day! She recommended this place. Walkable distance from the Lake Shops Parking Lot. It is a nice neighborhood coffee and bites cafe that doubles as a trinket/beverage shop. Service was friendly and there was a lunch rush after we placed our order and sat down. There is self service water and also Squirrel Air Fresheners! Ordered the BLT Sandwich 5/5. The sweet Bacon was delicious and sandwich was large. Took half to go. Ate it the next day and the sandwich was still fresh. Chocolate chip cookie 4/5. Great place to sit down and catch up.

    Cannot say enough good things about this place. It's nestled into a quiet little neighborhood in Pasadena and it's like something out of a movie. Very cute and rustic, very much homemade and handmade. It's got plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and it's right across the street from a park. People come in and out of the shop all greeting the people behind the counter by name. It smells absolutely incredible in the little cafe, smells like bread and coffee and barbecue. The prices are pretty low, considering the area. They carry a lot of organic products, all food is made in store, lots of little artisanal things to shop for. But the food! We ordered the beet salad and the ham and Brie sandwich and both were just so so good. Shared the two between me and my partner and we both felt full after. All the flavor pairings were perfect and complimented each other, ham and Brie sandwich was tangy because of the cheese but had a layer of fig jam spread on and it was heaven. Everything tasted fresh. All baked goods are baked in store and they look it. Would definitely come back and I'd like to try everything! Recommend highly.

    Really cute, tasty, and quaint place!! Family owned and they are very friendly. My second time coming here and this time we biked (there is street parking and some poles around you can chain your bike to. But there isn't really bike parking like it says). It's so hard to choose which pastry to eat cause there is a WEALTH of delicious baked goods staring back at you begging you to choose it!! We went with the lemon bar and it was delicious! Had great crust and a lot of custard. I also wandered around their store section and found the funniest and cutest squirrel air freshener! They have some cute cards and unique items there (like army soldier toys doing diff poses). There is plenty of seating inside and even seating outside. The decorations are so cute! We tried the watermelon lemonade and it was kinda bland. My husband tried the orange blossom tea on his last visit and said it was also bland. So their strong suit aren't the drinks but the food and pastries are amazing!! We got the crispy chicken sandwich and the flavor was SO GOOD!! The bread was soft and buttery leaving your mouth watering!! The chia pudding was kinda dry but had a good texture to it. They give plenty of granola inside so that was nice. Overall, I highly recommend coming here for a visit!! It is right across from a park as well. It's a very peaceful place.

    This place has so many good vibes. I know I'm guilty of spending too much of my money in soulless chain restaurants, I wish I spent more time in businesses like Ginger instead. The staff seemed genuinely happy to be working here! My sandwich was delicious, as was the orange spice ice tea. They also sell party supplies, which I probably won't buy but are fun to look at while you enjoy your lunch. I'll be back.

    I was in the area for work and a coworker actually recommended this place to me! It seems to be one of those trusty college delis that suddenly appeared one day and permanently becomes student lore. Inside, I found a quant mini-market stocked with a bunch of snacks, drinks, and the counter for ordering. The worker (i forgot his name!) helped us immediately, and I ordered the pastrami. I sat outside, where there were plenty of tables with shade! The worker brought out the sandwich to us, and I thought it was huge! The price seemed a bit high for ne, but that wasn't too big of a concern since the sandwich was jam packed with meat and kraut. The flavor wasn't too salty for me, and had the right amount of flavor with the bread. This was a great spot, and I'll have to stop by again.

    Ginger Corner Market is a quaint little market with freshly made salads, sandwiches, and pastries. It's a small operation but you can tell they put alot of care and attention to detail into their food. The dessert display is what really drew me in, and the desserts I tried so far were both pretty great. Their lemon bread pudding was so unique, I've never tried anything like it. I also enjoyed my PB&J bar, which was basically a peanut butter cookie base layered with jam and cookie crumble. They also have a fun little gift shop table as well as a refrigerated beverage aisle, like a true little corner mini mart. And of course, service was superb. I observed the owner interacting with the customer ahead of me who seemed to be a regular, and the way they were talking reminded me of those small town stores where everyone knows everyone; it really gave me a cozy homey feeling. Anyways, Ginger Corner Market is an adorable little store and I'm excited to go back and try more of their actual menu as well as their other pastries.

    I stopped by this spot after a local recommended it as having one of the best matchas in Pasadena,…read moreand it definitely got me in the spirit to watch the new Minions and Monsters movie tomorrow! The Build: I ordered the banana cream matcha, which features a rich matcha base with standard oat milk, topped with a heavenly layer of banana cream and tiny, mysterious crunchy pieces. The Flavor Profile: Taste-wise, the drink was absolutely heavenly. The matcha itself was wonderfully rich, and mixing in the banana cream took it to the next level, while the crunchy toppings added a really nice occasional texture. The only real letdown was the size, the cup was just so tiny for an $8 price tag. Even though the flavors were incredible, it felt a bit hard to justify the steep cost for such a small portion. The Verdict: While the major price tag means this won't be an everyday habit, the solid flavors and super fast, friendly service make it a perfect spot for a little treat every once in a while. The staff had my drink out almost instantly around 10 AM on a Tuesday, and since I live so close, I'll definitely be back occasionally when I want to spoil myself.

We got the mango matcha rain, banana cream matcha, and banana latte. For $7-8 per drink, you get a very SMALL sized cup, I believe it's a 12 oz. Although oat milk is the standard for the matcha drinks, the price for such a small cup was not worth it. For the drinks itself, not sure what kind of matcha powder they are using but it doesn't seem to be grade quality. The banana latte also tasted like milk. Interior wise, plenty of tables & seating. Great for a study spot with ample street parking. Overall, for the price, quality, and sizes, I unfortunately will not be returning.

There is a small lot that they share with the Thai place next door, and there is sometimes also street parking.

It had almost no flavor and tasted watered down, especially for the price. I expected a quality drink, but it was bland and absolutely not worth what I paid. To make matters worse, we were told to leave the patio an hour before the shop was even closing. If the patio has different hours, that should be clearly communicated instead of asking paying customers to leave early. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. Between the unfriendly service, flavorless coffee, and being asked to leave well before closing, I won't be coming back. There are plenty of other cafés in Pasadena that offer much better coffee and treat their customers with respect.

We ordered and there was just a couple of people in front of us. Once we ordered we sat at a table designed for four and then someone came around after just a couple of minutes and moved us to a different four top in a different part of the restaurant. If they were going to do that, why not just seat people from the beginning. The person who took our order was very kind, and it did not take too long for the food to arrive. I had the Cesar Salad Wrap, which was very well dressed and not dry, as some wraps are. It came with a side of bananas and strawberries. Our table also shared the House Waffle, and boy was it a treat. It had a delicious pistachio and nutella waffle. It was yummy. I also got to try a bite of my Husband's spicy sausage sandwich. It had a delicious spicy sauce, which really had a nice kick. Overall, a good experience and I would probably try it again.

Service has been fine; you can order from a touch screen or at the end of the counter. Unfortunately, the quality has been hit or miss lately. We have enjoyed the lavender latte and pistachio toddy latte, as well as the burrito. However, a few recent misses include: - Pistachio croissant with an overpowering alcohol flavor, like someone used too much pistachio extract instead of real pistachios. - The matcha banana latte tasted very watery and bitter, and didn't seem to make the most of either flavor. It somehow added up to less than the sum of its parts, which was a bummer for $9.50. - Not exactly a miss, but the person behind the counter cautioned me that the coffee cake I tried to order was too stale. I appreciated that . . . but why are stale pastries even on display? We have also had several false starts attempting to order things on the menu that they are all sold out of. This isn't the end of the world, but when it happens multiple times, it starts to feel like the signage is more for decor than information about what's truly available. I also had a strange experience trying to use the restroom. I could barely reach it behind all of the storage, and even when I did get inside, I could not for the life of me find the light switch and had to use my phone's flashlight to see. This was a while ago, so maybe this part is better now, but it contributed to the overall feeling that things are not quite on track. I hope that they can resolve whatever issues are happening behind the scenes, because this is exactly the kind of place we want to support, and I still think it has a lot of potential!
