So many choices of baked goods, today I tried the Morning Glory vegan muffin, it was AMAZING, not too sweet, tasted like a carrot cinnamon oatmeal cake. I got here right when they opened and my muffin was still hot!! They had older muffins wrapped up at the counter for discount price of $1.95! So I grabbed a vegan banana nut muffin too. I also ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. It was perfect, not sweet, so I added a Splenda. The woman who helped me was super nice and helpful about my vegan questions. There's lots of small outdoor tables right now. I highly recommend to stop here for a morning treat! read more

Heirloom Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Location: Good Parking: Easy to find as there is a structure.. and I was also able to find street parking. Ambiance: Nice! There is an inside and outdoor area. Relaxing environment. Food: They have good options for a brunch-ish spot, which are my favorite type of spots. They have omelets, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and such.. I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad. The smoked chicken was a nice touch. I ordered the half plate, but it was still a fair amount.. I wasn't stuffed, but I wasn't too hungry at the time so it was just right. Taste was good. Not the best-ever level good, but solid taste. Price: Here is where I docked one star. Honestly, it's reasonably priced for South Pasadena, but if everything was $1.50 less I would be here all the time. $9 sandwiches, salads, etc.. I didn't try the sandwiches, but they have to be pretty good for that price because if I go just a little more south I can get an amazing bowl of pho for $7, sandwiches for $4, pork chop rice/noodles $7, chicken and waffles! for $8.50... you get my point. I will definitely be back.. this is just me being nitpicky. read more

Nothing special. Overpriced. Soggy bread in the sandwich even though there wasn't any sauce. Scone fell apart in a crumbled mess. Meh.

I was so stressed out trying to find a place for my friends and I to have brunch on a Saturday morning. I had a group of seven people, but I wanted to keep it casual with counter service. Heirloom Bakery was the perfect choice. They had several tables that could fit seven or more people. And at 10am in the morning it was busy, but we didn't have to wait more than five minutes to order. On the weekends they have free all day parking in the large structure below them. Plus that neighborhood is super cool and eclectic so we spent an hour or two just wandering around after brunch. The portions are huge, easily shareable and delicious. read more

Heirloom Bakery - Just a basic breakfast, and lots of it! Still full from the bacon. - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Amazing food and great chill atmosphere! Highly recommend having one of their delish bakery items & a savory breakfast entree!

This bakery/cafe is a perfect brunch spot! There is both indoor and outdoor seating. You line up to place and pay for your order, then they give you a number to take with you. You find your own table. Table space is limited inside the cafe, but there are more tables outside. During the summers, they are pretty busy on the weekends so the line will go out the door. Once it gets a little cooler, they aren't as crowded anymore on the weekends. If you do plan on eating outside, eat your food quick before it gets cold! It gets pretty windy sitting in their outside patio. The food is great. I've had their French Chicken Sandwich, Cuban Sandwich, Cobb Salad, Omelette of the day, Hostess cupcake, Chai tea, and drip coffee. All were yummy! Their food is a little bit on the expensive side, but it's a nice treat. Their sandwiches and are priced around $9-11, and they have pretty big portions. Wish the coffee had unlimited free refills though. read more

Heirloom Bakery - Hostess cupcake, coffee, and large chai latte - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Love this place but have to say Staff could be more friendly. No one is smiling at customers, seems like they are doing me a favor by making me my latte that was 8$. Disappointing to pay those prices and feel like I'm putting them out. read more

I LOVE it here!! Its my second time coming here and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Not to mention the food is great! It has a roomy patio with plenty of seating and parking is easy & quite accessible. I love it here and need to make an effort to come more often read more

Heirloom Bakery - Potato salad, lemon poppy muffin & strawberry lemonade - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Gosh, you know how you have those places where you can totally tell they put their heart and soul into everything? Yeah, wow. This is Heirloom Bakery. Everything i've tried here is phenomenal: Pressed portabello sandwich Roast beef sandwich Iced coffee Mushroom swiss and spinach croissant- amazing! Sandwich of the day (pastrami and egg) It takes literally everything in my heart and soul to not order baked goods (those cupcakes are STARING me down!). I don't even need to taste them, I know they're amazing. Also, have you seen their cobb salad? Even I- definitely NOT a salad person- can say that salad looks really appetizing (and filling!) If I can stay away from their famous baked items, I might just try that. Anywho, you place the order at the counter then sit at the table with your number. Makes it for a great place for a casual breakfast or brunch. I have not yet found an issue with finding a seat. I love the shaded, outdoor seating. Overall this place is my favorite in the area for brunch. I love the perfect mixture of the bustling crowd there, along with the calm, welcoming, happy vibe of the clientele. Definitely a must visit! read more

One of my favorite things about where we live is that we are walking distance to Heirloom! A woman-owned bakery that is best known for their amazing spinach and mushroom croissants and key lime pie, everything here is amazing (defintiely pick up her lemon and rosemary cookies if they're available). They offer outdoor dining that's well-shaded and peaceful - right next to the Gold Line stop, off the Mission St strip, and across the street from the original Halloween movie house but still maintains a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Not good for large groups but perfect for catching up with a girlfriend, relaxing solo, plentiful families with young children here too. Also love that they support the local schools - a great taste of 'small town USA' read more

An amazing menu and choices. Our food was really good today, our order taker and servers were nice and pleasant, it was crowded and yet the cashier seemed not to have a good day. Reviewing previous comments,...mention of improving staff attitudes preexisted. Almost a four star experience. read more

Great sandwiches, great service! I recommend the turkey avocado sandwich. It's a winner!

Their medium coffee is the way to go unless you like your coffee to taste like an oil spill with subtle hints of death. Their dark coffee is darker than Kanye West's bright ideas. I opted for a coffee cake and coffee to start today because I'm hungry and I took Thursday off so I needed a tray to match the treat of not having to adult all day. Their coffee cake varieties rotate and today I got a chocolate chip pecan with sour cream iteration. Wow. It is delicious. I've had other ones with berries and even a peanut butter one and they were each individually the best thing ever. Good baked goods here for sure. Main breakfast was avocado toast. Equally tasty. I've had the Spanish tortilla and the quiches before. Actually that's all I've ever had here because they are always so delicious. Today marks maybe visit #12 or 15 over the last 5 years so I don't come here often but I come as often as I can. It's always a sure bet. read more

Nothing special here. There are much better places to eat in South Pasadena. I guess its okay for a workday lunch, even though there is better nearby at Fiore Market Cafe. I had a half French chicken sandwich and half French chicken salad. They charged me 20$ for this (and a lemonade). You can get the same thing for almost half the price at Fiore Market Cafe.... The sandwich was not that good. The chicken too salty, like it had been preserved, and was not good quality. I was hoping for a nice warm piece of roasted chicken, but I was sorely disappointed. The salad was way to sweet. They put a ton of cranberries and walnuts in it. I don't like that at all. To my mind, a salad should be packed with fresh vegetables and have a nice sauce. This salad was more like I was eating a trail mix....and it made the salad yucky and not fresh. The lemonade had so much sugar in it I almost went to add water to it. I was also really tart at the same time. Not good, don't get the lemonade. I don't really want to come back, I you're not missing anything by not eating here. read more

Good food, small indoor eating but large outside patio available. Friendly service. Daily specials usually have vegetarian selections

Love this South Pasadena staple. Delicious selections of breakfast pastries available daily. Be sure to try their quiches! I am in love with their lavender matcha, just be careful it is so soothing you might fall asleep. If you have a big appetite they have delicious sandwiches which are made with fresh baked bread large enough for two people. Their selection of full sized cupcakes are delicious you can't go wrong with any of them my personal favorites are the hostess cupcake and the red velvet! The staff are warm and friendly 20 out of 20 stars read more

They're baaaaaaaaaaaack! The original owners are back and so are the 5 star eats and atmospher. This is my favorite spot to bike to (from Silverlake) to enjoy weekend breakfast. The most excellent baked goods for a treat and savory breakfast salads, eggs, and more for a healthier alternative. Outdoor covered patio is clutch where you'll see all sorts of interesting folks and dogs enjoying SoPas sights and sounds. Yay! read more

I've had lunch here a few times when I'm in the neighborhood. The sandwiches are delicious. You wouldn't think this is where you would find a good cubano but omg it was good. The salads are also really good as are the red velvet cupcakes. Would come again to try more of the menu. read more

I've been to heirloom a handful of times, and I haven't yet been disappointed. today's order was a pressed CAPRESE, SAVORY BREAD PUDDING and side of PENNE PASTA. i love their CAPRESE and could have it every time i visit here. the tomato is tossed in a tasty dressing and gives the sandwich another dimension of flavor that you don't usually get in a caprese. just delicious! the BREAD PUDDING had spinach, egg and cheese... it almost melted in my mouth like a very light quiche, but so much better! it is served with a side of fresh tomato slices. the PENNE PASTA is a great add to any sandwich. we took home a CHOCOLATE CHIP with PECAN AND SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE. it's the best darn coffee cake i've ever had. so moist yet crumbly and not overly sweet. wow, i had hoped to save some till breakfast tomorrow, but it won't last! in the past i've had their SPINACH MUSHROOM CROISSANT... which is just FABULOUS. the flakiness of the bread and flavorful filling make it perfect for a breakfast or light lunch. everything i have had here is EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT. now, if i weren't so stuffed after my meals, i could get to more of their desserts! oh, and did i mention, they bake their own breads? Heirloom is amazing... i love seeing them baking in action as i dine, watching them pull out fresh loaves of country bread. read more

I've driven by this bakery several times and yesterday was the first time I went to enjoy a meal there. I met up with a friend for breakfast. There is plenty of street parking available. I love the chalk board menu they have on the wall of all food and drink items available. There were several options to choose from. I ordered a Cuban Sandwich and a Spanish Latte with oat milk. When Matthew brought my drink to me, I asked for his name so that I could write a review about my experience there. It was a beautiful day outside and there is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The Spanish latte was so tasty that I went back inside to order another one to go and added a Key Lime Pie for dessert! The dessert was so tasty! I enjoyed that this afternoon and it is the best key lime pie I've had! Thank you Matthew for providing a friendly service and having a fun conversation with me. I will be back again! :) read more

I stop by on my way home from dropping my daughter off at school at least once a week (or I send my husband to pick up for me when he does drop off). My go to order is their Spanish latte with oat milk and the chocolate coffee cake. The staff is beyond sweet and the coffee and pastries are always delicious. When most coffee shops are charging $6-8 for a latte this place is priced well below that. With several coffee shops on the block this is my favorite, definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the area. They have full sit down meals too and it's more of a breakfast/lunch/brunch spot but I rarely have time for a sit down so I can't say too much about the rest of their food but I'm sure it's fantastic by the looks of it and the constant stream of people. read more

Ordered avocado toast with poached eggs, scone and decaf latte. Everything was perfect. I wish I had room for more!

I'm attracted to crowded spots just because you KNOW it's good if people are willing to wait. The weekends around 11:00am seems to be "the time" when it gets really packed. Thankfully, I came at 10:15am beating the crowd. There was a couple people in line but it only took about 10 minutes. If you are dining in, someone should try to find a table. Food doesn't take long to come out and you want to have a table by the time your foods ready! Chicken Enchiladas ($9.95): Comes with eggs to your liking and beans. My boyfriend wanted to eggs over easy but it came scrambled. Didn't bother to fix it.. still edible. Beans were average. Pretty sure the green tomatillo sauce on the enchiladas had some crack on it or something. I've never tasted a sauce so well made. The chicken filling inside was good, but I didn't like the tortilla! It was that cold-tortilla consistency. Should have been warmed so it was soft and not as hard =/ Steel Cut Oatmeal ($6.50): Yum. I usually don't like buying oatmeal in restaurants since it's super pricey compared to what you can make at home with the same ingredients but I really wanted something filling and not too heavy since I was going to the fair that evening. This definitely did it for me! A big bowl of steel cut oatmeal and little side containers of milk of choice, fruits, raisins and brown sugar. Enjoyed how they put it on the side so you can add as much or little to your liking. Simple, but delicious. Parking is a beeez. Theres a parking garage right by Heirloom but it doesn't show rates or anything so I can't tell you if you can or how much it cost to park. Made a right turn right after passing Heirloom and found street parking. FREE! Need to come back and try the pastries! read more

It was my first visit. So good. Had the Roasted Turkey + Brie sandwich, but half instead of full, which was perfect. Also got the Dill pickle chips which are bomb. They are less pickle and more dill tasting. Meaning you can see and taste the herb more than the vinegar. The spice was perfect. I'm obsessed. read more

This has to be one of the cutest little spots in Pasadena to grab a bite with a friend! Lots of outdoor seating area for all to enjoy (indoor as well). This place does get pretty busy so you might have to stand around and wait for a seat to open up. Wait in line, order, take a number and they'll drop off your food in a timely manner. Food here is just ok, nothing I'd come running back for. Breakfast included: //Homemade granola - about $7 and you literally get a pound/heaping bowl full of it. However it was just bland - lots of nuts in it which I didn't fancy. I'm used to a more sweet/tasty granola. I ended up only eating a few spoonfuls with some milk, and took the rest home. Side of mixed fruit included. //Egg plate - about $8. Rosemary loaded potatoes, wayyy to herby for my liking. Eggs were decent, and man their bacon here is DIVINE! They have lots of assorted pastries; their key lime pie looked phenomenal. Lots of big muffins & cupcakes too! They also had a maple bacon scone which I will be trying next time I come here. Coffee here is pretty good too. Lots of families, people with dogs - wanting to enjoy the sunshine during their weekend breakfast. This place is definintely NOT my favorite, but I'd come here again for pastries and coffee. Enjoy! read more

Heirloom Bakery - Granola with non-fat milk and fruit. $6.95 - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I wanted to like this place but was disappointed by the "French" roasted chicken sandwich I got. The country bread was good and the garnishes were fresh but the so-called roasted chicken was rubbery and gross. It was the kind of rubbery processed and slimy cheap deli style meat you'd get at a grocery store deli. I was starving and in a rush so I just ate it and figured I just had the misfortune of ordering the wrong dish. Figured next time I'd try something different. BUT... However, when I asked a staff person where the restrooms were, she merely said "Over there," pointing in a general direction, not explaining that it was past the gym and right by the entrance to the parking garage. Fine whatever. Not a huge deal. But then she also didn't bother telling me there was a code to get in. I didn't see there was a number pad as it was all black and the numbers weren't clearly visible unless you look at it closely at just the right angle. I just assumed someone was taking a long time doing a number two or something. Fortunately there were two cleaning guys who noticed me standing there forever and they told me there was a code! The guy was nice enough to enter it for me and met me in. But I'm really disappointed by the two strikes today. Given my experience, I'd have to be super desperate to return h read more

My sister and I picked my niece up from the airport, after the obligatory hugs, I asked where to ? Without hesitation my niece said Heirloom. So off we went. They knew my niece on first sight since she was a regular. The food is amazing, I had a half BLT and a small salad filled me up. My niece and sister shared a salad and a sandwich. As good as the food is, the service is even better. Attentive, courteous and efficient, Kudos to Fabiola, Gaby and Matthew. I made them promise me the next time and there will be a next time, to make sure I don't leave without the Mexican Chocolate Cream pie, it looks decadent. Thank you all for making my nieces first stop home a good one:) read more

Omelette of the day- disappointing! The egg was overlooked & rubbery. The stuff on the inside was tasty- spinach, onions, corn, & cheese, but overall, not very good in texture. Side of potatoes- undercooked. Too firm, almost like, raw crunchy. Zero flavor. Chocolate cake- lovely. Rich & creamy. Crumbly crust and delightful cream. Maybe their baked goods are the way to go... Small orange juice- small. Like, 1/2 a solo cup small. Large orange juice- a tad smaller than a solo cup. Service. Not bad, not good. Just service. Not with a smile. read more

In the heart of South Pasadena lies Heirloom cafe/restaurant. They have both indoor and patio seating, modern get cozy decor, and an impressive pastry display! It's my first time here, so all I've tried so far is their Asian chicken salad. I got a full portion which was quite generous and delicious. It comes with bread and butter, and every part of my meal was fresh and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and attentive and sweet! I deeply value good customer service and this place is brimming with it. I'm trying to watch my weight, so it took every ounce of will power not to take a huge bite from the BLT my boyfriend ordered... it looked so appetizing! He tells me their pizza is amazing so we will be returning for that! I just hope I have the strength to order a salad again next time! Haha! read more

Heirloom Bakery - Lunch with my baby! Asian salad (full portion) and a blt! First time here. :) - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

My Happy Little Place ... i visit this establishment at least once a week after my morning jog. They have the most delicious gentrified chilaquiles in town. Don't take offense gentrified is good considering not all enjoy the over filled authentic sauce of the delicious dish. So when in the mood for something tasty without all the flooded sauce, these are the ones. So far, all my friends can agree. Even those with preference for authenticity. Let's not forget the natural vitamin C. And of course the energy of the morning crew ... not everyone of course but most. You know who you are. read more

The customer service here was terrible. It was not even busy, came here on a weekday late afternoon and we waited about 45 minutes for our food. I saw a lot of customers get talked to rudely while getting their order taken or waiting to pay. The food was OK- nothing special, just basic. It seems like the staff doesn't want to work there and act inconvenienced by customers. I would not recommend to anyone and won't be returning. read more

Sally the owner cannot be any nicer, she's very supportive of the community and schools here. Her staff are all very courteous and all quite nice as well. During quarantine, they are still open for take out with good physical distancing measures within their space. It seems like they have shorter hours during this time.
