This is a coffee spot in Pasadena where people actually understand espresso. Lately a lot of coffee shops around here and in highland park feel like they spent more time on branding than learning how to pull a shot. Beautiful cups, cool fonts, average coffee. Feels like quality has been slowly slipping. Hello You're Welcome was the opposite. Great coffee, properly made, and you can tell the people behind the counter actually care about what ends up in the cup. Big difference between people making coffee and people who are into coffee. Refreshing to find a spot where the espresso stands on its own. This one's going into the regular rotation. read more

This is one of those rare bakeries where the Gluten Free items simply taste like delicious baked goods. The staff here are super kind and their espresso drinks and coffees are perfectly made. But, their breakfast sandwiches and pastries are the stars. And they take the time to properly warm the sandwiches so they taste like they are fresh from the oven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store's very clean and there's a good amount of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a wonderful place for a breakfast, or a coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was amazed to learn that all their pastries and breads are Gluten Free. They all taste so delicious. I highly recommend Hello You're Welcome! read more

This shop was super high on my list as someone who's gluten free! Unfortunately it wasn't a huge hit and I don't see myself being a regular. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were very nice and the space was super cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I mainly came in for coffee and got an iced ganache mocha with oat milk and cold foam. To put it politely: it was bad. It didn't taste like coffee or mocha and the salted cold foam didn't help, despite my frantic stirring to try to mix it in. It was a $10 drink --$12 after tip, so I tried my best to finish it but was pretty bummed. I know a few spots I could've gotten my order for better and cheaper. But now I know! I didn't want to leave without getting a pastry of some kind so I got a brownie ($6.50 I think? $7 and change after tax) and it was good. There was an aftertaste I didn't love at first but I got used to it and it was a decent size. If I had stuck to the pastries maybe I would've had a different experience. I really appreciate a gluten free bakery and I'll probably come back to try their assortment of baked goods. I'll just grab coffee somewhere else first. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute gluten-free bakery and coffee spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is adorable and the service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything here is gluten-free, which is always a huge plus. We picked up two biscuits and they were wonderful. We also tried six donuts and our favorite was the maple pecan -- definitely the standout. It's a little on the pricey side, but still a great stop if you're looking for gluten-free treats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the space instead of grabbing everything to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! Being gluten free, it can be quite hard to find bakeries that fit our needs. Coming from NorCal, I visited Hello You're Welcome by a simple google search for gluten free online. I was thinking just one item- I didn't expect to come out with three items! I got the bacon biscuit, maple scone & the cherry cheesecake danish. They were all so good! None of the items I had were dry or grainy - characteristics of some gluten free items if not made the best. They were dense, moist & full of flavor. They were very attentive and even warmed up my biscuit. If I could go back, I definitely would. I highly recommend coming here! read more

I went on a Sunday morning with my husband and toddler, right before heading to Vroman's. We ordered an iced maple matcha with oat milk along with a pumpkin cream cheese loaf, and both were enjoyable. The matcha was very subtle in flavor and the loaf was a bit dense, but flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the look of this coffee shop. It's super bright and bold, with a playful, grandma aesthetic. Think colorful teacups, charming plates, and details that make you want to look around while you sip your drink. It feels cheerful and well-curated, and fits right in with the Pasadena vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly enough, nothing over the top but pleasant and welcoming. One thing that really caught my eye was their pastry case. They have a beautiful selection of baked goods, and many of them appear to be gluten free, vegan, or both, which is a big plus if you are looking for lighter or more health-conscious options. Pasadena has no shortage of coffee shops and bakeries, so it can be hard for any one spot to stand out. That said, this is a great option for anyone seeking healthier treats in a feel-good space. read more

Loved it here. The coffee was so good and it was actually strong. I don't like when I have coffee and I can't feel a little boost of energy, well that wasn't the case with this coffee. We didn't try any of the pastries but they sounded so good, we will have to try them next time. The service was welcoming and helpful. We didn't know what to order and they made some suggestions which turned out delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the vibe as it felt like we were in Pasadena.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had beautiful wallpapers and seating along with decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend you stop by if you are visiting. read more

Exciting women owned business serving vegan and gluten free desserts for all to enjoy. Gave out brownie samples, fudgey and delicious! + Pumpkin Apple Cider donut ($6): fun fall flavor but didn't taste like pumpkin or apple cider, and was bit dense. Had a subtle spiced flavor (6/10) + Coconut cortado ($6): super kind and upsized this to a latte for me. The coconut milk worked well, sweet (7.5/10) read more

Walked in around 10:45am yesterday after my eye apt down the street and decided to give it a try. They had a wonderful array of different pastries, both sweet and savory. Not pictured is the breakfast biscuit that they warmed up for me. I liked the crunch it had but it was a little too dense for me. The donut was a maple pecan donut and it was also a little too dense for my liking, I liked fluffy airy donuts. The strawberry matcha was good! read more

Food I was in town for a work conference and chanced upon this quaint little cafe. Was on the hunt for coffee and something sweet, so i got a brownie and an iced americano. The brownie was huge and really satisfied my craving and i loved the chocolate flavor in it and it wasn't overly sweet. The texture was nice and moist and soft. The americano i got was a light roast and the taste was really good and not overly acidic like other coffees I've had. Serive/Ambiance [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you enter, the whole vibe is just pink and nice to look at and you get that nice display of all the pastry items they offer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was nice as I was ordering and until I got my order and overall a nice experience spending a few mins just chilling in this cafe. read more

I had this place bookmarked cause another influencer recommended it a while back for having delicious vegan gf treats. On my visit, I ordered an iced matcha latte, an iced flat white, and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. Unfortunately the matcha latte was disappointing, could hardly taste the matcha. I ended up whisking in more matcha and adding a bit of sweetener at home, as it didn't seem like any had been added initially. The flat white tasted acidic and sour. The chocolate chip cookie, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight. Wanted to love this place but with so many bakeries and cafes in Pasadena, I'm not sure I'll be back :') read more

I'm not Vegan but boy do I enjoy their Vegan egg sandwich. I tried the keto cinnamon donut and omggg delicious! My favorite coffee to order is the Scottie and that cold foam they add to it is heavenly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the vibes in there, decor, ambience is on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did spend $27 for 3 items but this is quality food. The chocolate chip cookie was also amazing. I can't wait to try more of the amazing items there. Cute lil gift items you can buy too as gifts. Street parking was less than $2 for 2 hours so don't forget to pay the kiosk because I did see parking enforcement walking around. read more

HYW is a niche gluten-free, vegan/vegetarian donut and pastry cafe in Pasadena, located on the NE corner of Los Robles and Colorado. Street parking only, but there's usually a spot open. The shop has been in Pasadena for a few years now, if memory serves. I visited when they first opened and recall having a good impression. I think I stopped going because they didn't have much seating. Now, the shop has really made it much more inviting to sit and work. The inside is beautifully designed with artful touches, and has a pleasing carnation, pink, and yellow color scheme. It makes the place feel energizing but still grounded. The staff are friendly and helpful. They offer a good selection of breakfast items, baked goods, and donuts. The donut flavors are amazing. I forgot to take a picture of my order, but each donut tasted distinct and for the description. The matcha strawberry and the maple espresso donuts were my favorite out of my order. You can order a coffee or tea to go with your yummy pastries. TL/DR: a great spot for breakfast, donuts, and coffee/tea with amazing gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian options. read more

Hello you're welcome, more like goodbye no thank you. Came to get some coffee and got the ganache mocha with oat milk and this is the first time in a long time I got a coffee that tasted so bad I almost don't want to force it. You'd think with either ganache or mocha you'd taste some amount of sweet or chocolate/mocha flavor but all I could taste was bitter and sour. On top of that I was waiting a good 20+ minutes and there wasn't anyone ahead of me, the people that did order picked stuff from the premade donuts and things in display and headed out. The cherry on top was that it was very overpriced, more than you'd pay at most other places. I wish the old donut shop was still here, it was much better. read more

I've stopped by HYW several times, but it is pricey. I understand they have options for several diets, gluten free, vegan, keto, sugar free.. so it comes at a cost. I am dairy free so once in a while I treat myself to their donuts as they are tasty and they have a variety of flavors. Their service is friendly although at times they have not been aware that I am standing there waiting for someone to help me as the coffee bar is on one side and the pastry case is on another. The shop itself is large so there is ample space for people to hang out if they choose too. It's a beautiful space. read more

I was staying in the area for a conference and had a little time to spare, so I stopped by after seeing this bakery featured on the local news. I ordered the vanilla matcha latte, which wasn't really my favorite. The Basque cheesecake was definitely better and had great flavor, although it was a bit smaller than I expected. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but it just didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for. read more

Forgot sandwich, didn't try to make tight. Another customer ahead spilled her coffee because lid wasn't put on and they said nothing...

Delicious donuts, drinks, and breakfast sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is kind as well & the ambiance is so chic yet homey![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love the wallpaper and chair assortment. My faves are the breakfast sandwich, lemon poppyseed donut, and the coconut passionfruit donut. The coffee is flavorful and they have non dairy milk options. I also love supporting this business because it is Jewish woman and family owned operated. read more

Their gluten-free donuts are fun! I think their flavors are seasonal. I tried the rose and strawberry. I preferred the rose because it had a more muted taste while the strawberry was too tart. Despite being gluten free, the donuts are still pretty chewy like regular donuts, but they're a lot denser inside. If I could describe the texture it's almost like a chewier pound cake. The frosting on top is not too sweet. The matcha lattes are just okay, mainly when it comes down to flavor. The nice thing is that you can ask for oat milk at no extra cost. Unfortunately, it doesn't go down super smooth compared to other matcha lattes I've had. read more

A true hidden gem in Pasadena. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, and you can taste how fresh and thoughtful the ingredients are. What really sets this place apart is how inclusive the menu is excellent gluten-free and vegan options alongside plenty of non-GF choices, so everyone is happy. The breakfast options are absolutely supreme, and the donuts are the perfect size..light, flavorful, and dangerously easy to eat more than one. Their espresso machine is clearly top notch! the lattes are perfectly balanced with a great ratio, and the seasonal flavors are creative without being overpowering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a cozy, quality spot that does breakfast and coffee exceptionally well, this is it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pasadena is lucky to have this place. read more

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of watching HYW be built and open, then finally made our way in! This chic and cozy coffee shop is a must, especially if you're looking to pair your coffee with a delicious homemade donut. I opted for a less-sweet coffee (honey latte) to pair with my tasty lemon poppyseed donut! They balanced each other out wonderfully. My boyfriend explored the matcha americano with a splash of oat milk with his maple pecan donut. The donuts were a moist and cakey consistency. We look forward to trying more flavors! read more

If joy had a scent it would smell like butter sugar and whatever magic is happening inside You're Welcome Acquaint Bakery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is one of those bakeries that feels less like a transaction and more like a small gentle event.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Opening the box alone is an experience each pastry nestled like it knows it is special each one clearly made with care rather than haste. Nothing here feels mass produced rushed or trendy for trend's sake. Everything feels intentional. Let's talk texture because that is where this place quietly flexes. The scones are tender and layered not dry or crumbly with a richness that tells you real butter showed up and did the work. The balance is impressive indulgent without being heavy comforting without being boring. You take a bite and immediately slow down which is rare these days. The pastries are visually charming without screaming for attention. Thoughtful decoration soft colors delicate finishes the kind of presentation that makes you smile before you even taste anything. It is bakery confidence without ego. Flavor wise nothing tries to overpower you. Sweetness stays measured. Everything tastes clean warm and familiar in the best way like someone baking because they genuinely love it not because an algorithm told them to. You can tell whoever is behind this counter understands restraint balance and how to let good ingredients speak. This is the kind of place you bring pastries home from and feel oddly proud laying them out on the table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The kind of bakery that makes an ordinary afternoon feel curated. The kind of spot that becomes part of a routine without trying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You do not rush through treats from here. You sit. You sip something warm. You take another bite and think yeah this is why small bakeries matter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pasadena is lucky to have this one. read more

Very cute and clean cafe w/ a good variety of gluten free donut to choose from. I got the rose donut, it was pretty good, but a little too sweet for me. I think it was the icing that's sweet, the donut itself is not. I also got the smoked matcha latte for $8.50 which is very pricey for a drink that taste like a regular matcha latte. It had no spice/smoke flavor at all, it didn't even have that deep matcha flavor. Would not get it again, but I might go back for their donuts. read more

The inside of the coffee shop is very aesthetic and welcoming. The workers here are very energetic and lively. However, there are no prices shown on the pastries. The bacon and egg biscuit was $6.00 which was not too bad. The biscuit was quite delicious but there was not enough of bacon flavor in my option. The iced matcha latte was exquisite. Do not pass on this drink. I was feeling a bit adventurous and I decided to try out the passionfruit yuzu tonic with matcha. Both the matcha and the yuzu flavors were there, but the passionfruit was missing. It was not worth $8.00. So I would pass on this drink. Overall, this coffee shop is cute and offers delicious breakfast items that are not badly priced. read more

First day working in the area so I tried to find a donut shop near work and came across this one. I saw pics of really cool looking donuts on Yelp, but when I went here, I didn't find any of those special looking donuts. The shop is very cute and very pink on the inside. Guy at the counter was nice. The donuts here looked like they're cake donuts (kinda small too)... I didn't see any raised donuts. I ordered 2 donuts (1 strawberry and 1 pumpkin). Both were pretty good. The quality of the cake donut is like none other I've had before. It was like a cake donut, dense but not as crumby as typical cake donuts. I also liked the pumpkin seeds on the pumpkin donuts. If you eat it there, they have these cute porcelain plates you can eat them on. My only gripe here are the prices!! Each donut was $6. I feel like for the size and quality of the donut, it does not align with the price. read more
