Heirloom is a cute cafe that has alot of options. There is indoor and shaded outdoor seating. Once you walk in the front door, the menu is listed on a giant chalkboard on the wall to the left, and you get in line to order at the deli case. Once you put in your order, you love along the deli case to pay at the cash register where they give you an order number to take back to your table. I ordered a breakfast sandwich without bacon ($10.75) and a small Strawberry mint lemonade ($4.50). My sandwich was huge and it came with eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo on toasted bread. Taste-wise, it was good but not great. As for my beverage, while I prefer sweet lemonades I'm ok with tart ones too, and my strawberry mint lemonade was incredibly tart. But while I could clearly taste the strawberry, the mint flavor was lacking and overall I just don't think the small lemonade was worth nearly $5. So overall, cute cafe with a variety of decent-tasting options that come in large portions. read more

One busy Sunday morning in South Pasadena, my family and I were looking for breakfast. We stopped by our usual spot and it was busy. We were in a time crunch so we stumbled across Heirloom and although they were quite busy we were able to find a tiny couple of tables combined and made it work for the fam. The food was pretty good, I especially liked the chilequiles. I will try and return one day. Our first impression was solid. read more

A coworker of mine posted a photo of there hostess cupcake ... and decided to give this place a try You stand in line to Order and seat yourself. We sat outside - it was a nice sunny day Food: Waffle: with strawberries and banana . Definitely not a fan. It was very dense and dry Plate: egg whites, bacon, and potatoes. Not a huge fan of the potatoes or bacon as the bacon was not as crispy as I wished it was Omelette: my mom said there was too much cheese Blueberry muffin: the only thing I ordered that I actually enjoyed Hostess cupcake: very rich in chocolate. So if you're a chocolate lover - definitely recommend ! read more

Food is incredible, staff is amazing, the fresh baked sourdough bread (lemon rosemary!) is my weekly favorite for at home sandwiches. They have a great selection and you can usually find parking on the street. read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot. If you want coffee, maybe find another spot, but the food is great.

the food is always fresh made and they are delicious. however, the service is quite slow. if you don't mind the wait, it is definitely the place to go for breakfast/early lunch. a few testimonies from the picky eaters in my life: my husband will only eat their key lime pie! it is done perfectly. a friend from out of town is super picky about breakfast burritos, but she gave two thumbs up and 5 stars of the breakfast burritos! tip: you can get 1/2 order on (some) sandwiches, get yourself a quiche/soup/salad. you wont be disappointed. you can also (recommend) to call ahead to order to save time. read more

High stars for food only; minus one star for loudly being shamed 3 x's for being in the wrong line. Horrible treatment from regular front staff who I've heard speak to other guests in the past disrespectfully as well; not cool! Come and stay for food only and tread lightly (don't mess up!), with staff! read more

Heirloom Bakery - French chicken sandwich is scrumptious. - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Second time coming to Heirloom and I will be returning! Nice staff, quick service, and great ambiance.

Work down the street and am thus here a lot. Large range of cafe/breakfast/lunch/bakery options. Casual environment with mostly outside seating and a couple indoor tables. They use fresh ingredients and have a nice menu but it's overall very average in my opinion, especially for the exorbitant prices. Coffee is not very good, but very affordable. All of their bakery items look nice and sound good but are always quite underwhelming (and are all quite pricey). The workers are nice but their service is always quite slow and disorganized. Could be excellent with some refinements, but for now only average. read more

The food is really good and definitely diverse with a large menu, I also love that they have a self serve bar outside with napkins, straws, cups, and sauces you might need which make it a lot more efficient to get anything you might need. Differently an aesthetic place which I recommend to go on a sunny day so you can enjoy the seating arrangement outside. My only complaint is just the limited amount of seats available so you might have to stand for a short time until seating is available but it's never been too bad! Also I definitely recommend the pastry's, I personally loved the lemon poppy seed muffin and chocolate croissant. read more

I used to frequently come here back in grad school and its still just as good. I learned that the parking garage next door has free parking and street parking as well. The avocado toast is amazing. It came with a poached egg on top. The bread was slightly hard, especially since I like to cut it into pieces before eating it. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Desserts-I got the mexican chocolate pie, carrot and red velvet cupcakes to go which were just ok. I would say the carrot cake was the best of the buncj. read more

This place is delicious! I love the pesto chicken sandwich, Asian chicken salad is sooooo good and refreshing, the western chicken salad is very good too.

I did a search for best keylime pies in the area and heirloom was one of the bakeries that popped up. I called and asked if i could place an order for a keylime pie. I was a little hesitant since it was the weekend before thanksgiving and wasn't sure how busy they'd be. Luckily, the baker was available to fit in 2 orders of keylime pies for me. yay! when we arrived, i was greeted by a glass display of all their delicious looking pastries. i went a little crazy and got the croissant, chocolate chip cookie, coffee cake, some scones, the hostess cupcake, and also grabbed a fresh lemon rosemary loaf from the shelf behind the counter. i split half with a friend so i cannot speak for all the items, but the keylime pie, blueberry scone, and croissant were DELISH. would definitely return. my brother in law said the hostess cupcake was good too! 1 star knocked off because we had a 10am pick up time and the pies were not ready yet. we ended up waiting until 10:30am. was on a really tight schedule that day so the 30 minutes was costly! free underground parking right next to the bakery. read more

This is my go to place! So, so good. It never disappoints. Love all their food. The breads and pastries will leave you wanting more. Great service too. read more

Great food, quick service, and an amazing assortment of regular and vegan food to choose from.

Stayed at an Airbnb around the corner, and this bakery is an extension of a cute, peaceful neighborhood slightly beyond the borders of the city of Los Angeles. I had the chorizo and egg scramble--very good. The staff members were very kind. read more

Came here after a hike at Arroyo Seco. My friend had her dog with us so we had to wait for a table outside to open up before we ordered. It was pretty packed outside as it was a nice day. Once we snagged a table, I got in line to order. It was 11:50 and the line was kind of long. I saw the sign that breakfast was only served until 12:00PM on weekends, but luckily I was able to order before the deadline! I got the omelette of the day which was spinach, tomatoes and pesto sauce. I also ordered the mango green iced tea. My friend got her usual egg whites, potatoes and bacon with a soy latte. The guy who took my order was super nice since I had to put it on two separate credit cards. Food took a little bit but it was super busy. Apparently every dish comes with Heirloom tomatoes hence the name. My friend's food came out first and then my omelette maybe 2-3 minutes later. Food was delicious! read more

I don't typically leave negative reviews, but my experience at Heirloom Bakery yesterday was very disturbing that I'm compelled to leave this feedback. I brought my dog inside with me to order some food & coffee, for takeout. I waited for my food, by the door & away from everyone & the food areas. The woman who took my pay said that they don't allow dogs inside. I said ok, so I went outside & waited. As I waited for my food & coffee ... 3 other customers & their dogs went inside. I sat outside & watched them, nobody told them that they need to wait outside. One of the other customers brought a big dog inside, can't miss it. The fact of the matter is that I'm Asian & all of the other customers who brought their dogs inside are all Caucasian. This leads me to believe that I was discriminated against & it was very obvious, as I was the only one asked to leave & wait outside with my dog. I am always respectful when I go inside of a store with my dog. I always have him on a short leash & never allow him to go near food items. Also I try to stay close to the door when I'm waiting, to ensure space for anyone who is not comfortable. The person who asked me to leave was at the register, taking customers pay (I didn't get her name). She did not have a great attitude or customer service skills to begin with, she didn't even say thank you to me as a paying customer. But more importantly, I am disturbed & insulted by the discriminatory treatment I received at Heirloom Bakery. I have been to this establishment before & want to support local businesses. However, I won't support Heirloom Bakery anymore due to their discriminatory business practices. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places for breakfast. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill. We no longer will go there at all as the last several visits have gone so badly. The last time really did us in. My husband's bacon was so uncooked and pink and floppy that I considered it dangerous and didn't want him to eat it. An employee was later passing by delivering a meal and I mentioned it to her. I asked if it could be fried a little more. She grabbed it and back came completely black, hard, crumbly, inedible bacon. Kind of shocking. We had already been having to bring mochas with us from Jones Coffee on the next block because the coffee was so variable. I'm saddened. read more

Wonderful service and great outdoor area to be seated. I love their avocado toast and their mocha latte. I also love that it's family owned!! read more

This is pretty good. I was in search for a new breakfast restaurant and I was surprised. I really wanted French toast but it wasn't offered on the menu, so I decided to go with the next best thing: the breakfast sandwich. The sandwich is comprised of lettuce, tomato, scrambled eggs, American cheese, and bacon on white, toasted bread. I paired this with a simple cup of coffee and fresh orange juice. The sandwich is much bigger than I thought it would be and honestly, it was too big to eat in one sitting. It was crisp and delicious, though I think they could've went easy on the mayo. The orange juice is what really made this review 5-star. I was expecting the run of the mill Tropicana or Simply Orange, but this is some freshly-squeezed stuff. It's really good. I would come here for the orange juice alone. The wait in line was super quick and the wait for my meal was also quick. It's a hipster joint so I can't imagine it being family-friendly. But if you want to go on a lunch or coffee date, it's your place. read more

Heirloom Bakery - Key lime pie. Very generous slice. - Bakeries Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Twice a month I visit S Pasadina and I make it a point to have lunch. Always great until today. My usual BLT was almost inedible. The bread was so toasted and hard, I basically had to cut the crust off to eat. Taking it apart it was basically all Romain lettuce solid hears, a few tomatoes and a lot less bacon than usual. For $15 there want much. On top of that, I was the only one at the counter and ordered a carrot cake, the last in the case, which I commented how lucky I was. After waiting ten min for my to go lunch, they came out and told me they were out of carrot cake. When I told the No one was ahead of me, they said someone else must have sold it. read more

What a gem of a place! Nice varied menu, delightful staff, comfortable patio. It was hard to choose, but I decided to order a Cobb salad. I got the half (love having that option) and it was very generous. Nice vinaigrette dressing, chunks of chicken, really delicious. And at my friend's suggestion, I ordered a lemon rosemary cookie. Amazing! I would go back just for that cookie. read more

This is my first time here. The tortilla is delicious! All their baked good look delicious but I haven't tried any yet. It's a cut little corner cafe next to the metro tracks with plenty of outdoor seating. My issue with it, NO INDOOR SEATING AND ITS FREAKING COLD OUTSIDE TODAY! They have the room for a few tables but there are none inside, so food gets cold quickly and you freeze your butt off while you eat it, that's why they only get a 3 star rating, otherwise I'd say it's a 5 for food and service at the counter. read more

I go to Heirloom Bakery in South Pasadena 3 or 4 mornings a week for coffee and pastry. Their staff is great, efficient and friendly, Heirloom has indoor and outdoor seating. My morning pastry favorites are : chocolate coffee cake, key lime pie, chocolate scones, and mocha bread pudding. The chocolate coffee cake and mocha bread pudding are best heated. We ordered a whole coconut cake with lemon filling for Easter. It was delicious. read more

Love everything about this place. Lately unfortunately the wait is crazy. But the food is very good.

Such delicious food. The salads are great. The hostess looking cupcakes are amazing. At Thanksgiving the preorder pies are incredible. Honestly the food is amazing. But be prepared to wait. I'm not sure why but I've either had to wait very long for food or my order has been wrong every time I have gone. If that part was better this place would be my go to weekly. read more

Cute little cafe serving Californian style breakfast and lunch. The vibe is great for a quick meal, the employees were caring and efficient. The food has always been pretty good. Their red velvet cupcake is to die for! My one complaint is their Cuban sandwich. I ordered it recently and was NOT a fan of the roasted pork loin in the sandwich. It was nearly inedible, flavorless, fatty, and gray. I would not recommend it but everything else I've had has been tasty! The price is a bit much for the food but hey, it's to be expected considering the location ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Delicious sandwiches! They bake their own bread so its fresh and so good. I went here for brunch and it was packed but not to the point where we had to wait for a table. We ordered the turkey avocado sandwich and the meatloaf sandwich. Both had its own unique taste but deliciously made. Their orange juice was freshly pressed. And they have coffee. Parking is available in the structure or plenty enough parking on the street. They do have tables for groups but I'd say go with one other or two. I will go here again in a heart beat! read more

It's not everyday I'm in South Pasadena, especially in the wee hours of 10 am, but I found myself yelping for a spot to eat brunch and stumbled upon Heirloom Bakery. PARKING + AMBIENCE Free parking in the metro station underground parking lot! We came on a Saturday and was pleased to find a convenient underground parking structure right next to the restaurant. As for the ambience, there is indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is quite small with a couple of tables, but they have more seating outdo FOOD We ordered the Pressed Breakfast Sandwich and the Autostrada. Both sandwiches were very filling, they were cut into two slices with one slice being more than enough for my breakfast appetite. The pressed breakfast sandwich was delicious and I liked it more amongst the two. The Autostrada included salami and ham, but it was not as tasty as the pressed breakfast sandwich, too much salami flavor perhaps. SERVICE The line starts by their food counter, they had a big chalk board that displays the menu, conveniently near where the line forms. After ordering the food, you continue to wait in line to pay at the cash register. I imagine it's quicker on a weekday since Saturday is an ideal day to go out and grab some breakfast. Also, make sure the bill they give you is correct! We mistakingly paid for the wrong bill and had to return to the register to correct it. CONCLUSION Overall, Heirloom Bakery is an okay place for breakfast sandwiches. The portions are great and the sandwiches are good. However, the food is a little pricy, the sandwiches costed around $10-$12. The place is also somewhat packed, all the tables inside and outside were taken when we arrived. We got lucky and found an available table right after our food was ordered. read more
