I called a day before to ask about tea time service for a group of 10 and they were very accommodating and made us a reservation. When we arrived they were attentive and we did not feel rushed. Patio had shade cover and a nice view of tree-lined street. Food and tea were amazing!!! My non-vegan family was impressed and delighted. It may be a little pricey but you absolutely pay for quality. Would 100% come back! read more

I've been to this lovely cafe several times and each visit leaves me wanting more! Today I had the "tuna" sandwich. It was incredibly delicious. I also had their apple pastry, again soooo delicious! Every time I visit I want to sample everything and I mean everything! They just opened up their wine bar and I can't wait to try their French wines and appetizers. Go visit - you won't be disappointed! read more

I really liked the Palmier. Theres a sweet clear coating that makes it really good. I wasnt a fan of the pistachio eclair, although i know its a popular choice. The fruit tart was really good, the fruit was fresh, the cream and crust, all of it. I passed on the one w a red crust bc he said they use red food dye, which has been shown to be carcinogenic. There was a pastry with hazelnut filling that looked really good, id like to try that next time, its called the paris or something like that. And im getting that sweet coated Palmier again. My new fave. read more

Amazing food. Have purchased cakes here, holiday items, breakfast items, and had the tea service. All were amazing. Highly recommend!

Delicious, elegant desserts! They are not overly sweet, which is perfect since way too many places make them sickly sweet. You can taste the flavors of the high-quality ingredients ! The breads/focaccia are delicious too. Will be returning for sure! read more

Absolutely phenomenal pastries, look at this case! The Halloween treats were bar none. We had the macarons which were surprisingly fluffy and light, very flavorful. Had an espresso eclair which had a lovely deep coffee flavor. Beautiful store with lots of food options, full tea service, and a cake display with lots of ready to go cakes. Can't wait to come back! read more

Cute cozy vegan cafe on Green St. Pasadena. They also have their wine bar/restaurant next door. Stopped by to check out and tried their pistachio financier, matcha tart and their 7 citrus black tea. I was advised that the financier was gluten free. They also have macaron that's very lovely as well and gluten free. I tried the lemon! Please do let the staff know if you have celiac. I have gluten intolerant and I was fine after consuming their pastries. The financier is lovely and not so sweet. Matcha is very much present and the cream on top is not sweet, great balance and lovely companion to the matcha itself. The tea is great to drink with the sweets, you can taste the orange citrus and grapefruit flavor comes in to balance it out. It was about after 8:20 pm and they said they are extending their bakery hour for people to come in and enjoy. It was very lovely to sit and enjoy the dessert, in a nice quiet night. Alfredo, one of their staff showed their tea menu and also let us smell the different tea buds scents for us for later time. He also mentioned about their tea set with the chef's choice of pastries. He's very friendly and helpful and very welcoming. Certainly will go back and try their other pastries and tea. *Meter Parking is available on street and there's also a parking lot on De Lacey Ave between Green and Colorado, which is $1 for 2 hour parking. Be careful on being good feeding those meters if you're staying long and parking on street since Pasadena is pretty strict on their parking regulation and they have parking officers constantly monitor it. read more

Oh my god! Thanks to my good friend Rosette for introducing me to this amazing French (and vegan - although you would never know) bakery! Emily and Albert at the counter were super friendly and helpful and Chef Romy too! Had the chocolate croissant (ohhh sooo good) and green tea (very nice). Of course, as I love French baguettes, got one to go. And a fruit tart. And dinosaur cookies (c'mon, who can refuse cute dinosaur cookies!?!). They are opening up a wine bar as part of the bakery so looking forward to going. Good addition to Pasadena and Old Town! read more

I have been dying to come here for a while and it did NOT disappoint! My friend and I shared the afternoon tea and it was amazing. All the food as well as the tea, were delicious. The lemon meringue tart was so good. Best meringue - vegan or otherwise - that I've ever had! And their Dubai chocolate bite with the chocolate mousse is addicting - I took a few home for later. They have a pretty extensive menu, which was a surprise. Sandwiches, salads, etc. I can't wait to come back and try a few more things. Vegan or not, you'll love this place! read more

I was blown away by the abundance of delicious plant-based pastries!! From the website it seemed like they only had a few vegan items but decided to give it a shot and check it out. . We ordered a chocolate croissant, a jalapeño cheese croissant, and a Chef special caramel eclair and some vanilla macaroons. I can't wait to go back and try some more delicious perfected pastries.. read more

I want to start this review by saying that I really wanted to love this bakery but I was honestly let down. The baked goods in the window looked beautiful and is what drew me in. I ordered several items: Focaccia, Vanilla Eclair, Paris Brest, Butter Croissants and a Baguette. I happen to snag the last focaccia which was a bit dry around the edges but very flavorful, fluffy and moist once I took a few more bites towards the middle. The vanilla eclair was delicious and had great vanilla flavor but the Paris Brest was a bit of a let down. I liked the creme mousselline but the choux was soggy and did not include any almond (at least none that I could taste) which I had enjoyed in the Paris Brest I had in the past. Maybe the almond is optional. I don't claim to be an expert but this is just what I recall from my past experiences. The baguette was great. It is everything you want in a beautiful baguette. It was crusty, soft inside, tasted and smelled delicious. The 2 of the 4 butter croissants I bought were obviously over baked. I feel like if you charge $4.50/croissant the quality should be higher. The service was ok. read more

I came here after hearing about the vegan tea service. And it did not disappoint. The service was well presented and included tea, scones, sandwiches, soup, and desserts. I can't believe it was only $35pp. The chef came by our table and brought my cousin gluten free sandwiches when we realized that they had gluten. He could not have been more kind and really made the experience wonderful. I would highly recommend this cute cafe to anyone looking for vegan tea experience or just a place to pick up some beautiful vegan treats. read more

Just came back from France and this cafe hits it right out of the park! The French onion soup is the best I've tasted, but you have to call ahead to see if that's the soup du jour. I hope they make it a regular menu item. The jalapeño danish and jalapeño croissant are amazing. Then there are his delicious desserts. The eclairs are excellent, as are the pain au chocolat. My friend and I weren't enjoying the flan very much as it reminded me of the texture of agar jello. I'm glad they've expanded their hours to later in the evening. I'll be there more often. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I don't even live close and I go all the time. My daughter had their desserts for her birthday party. All the kids loved them and the kids ages ranged from 2-9. The adults also loved them. E everyone was silent while they ate. Everything is so good, I easily spent $80+ every time I go in. The stuff isn't even expensive. I just buy a lot. The chef also likes making new things and then I have to try them like the pear eclair in the picture which should be a regular item in my opinion. When I get married, these are the deserts I want. When I die, I want these served at my funeral. I'm so grateful I live 20-30 minutes away or I'd be so fat. Everyone who works there is super nice too and answers questions. This is the kind of restaurant that needs to exist and become a community cornerstone. I hope this place has the most incredible success. read more

The first all vegan French pastry cafe has opened in Pasadena and we had to drop by the morning they opened. Literally set an alarm! Everything we tried was DANKY: Chocolate Croissant, Fruit Tart, Mille Feuille / Napoleon and Shortbread cookies! A little piece of France can be found on a corner of Old Town Pasadena so if you are coming out for the Rose Parade this year make sure to grab some pastries to watch the floats. They open early!

A very unique vegan place! I have had pastries that I haven't had in years and they are absolutely stunning. Wonderful French pastries that taste amazing. They are as beautiful as they are tasty. We have tried the quiche, a raspberry croissant filled with raspberry creme, a palmier, two fruit tartes (one with strawberries and one with raspberries), a coffee creme filled eclair and a palmier. All were simply superb. If you are vegan (even if you are not vegan!), try this place, you won"t be disappointed! read more

100/10. This place got everything right. First of all, they are overflowing with passion and true love for what they are creating. I love businesses that are rooted in real deep love for what they doing. Love to see spaces like this thrive. Secondly, the pastries were sooooooo good. Like wow, as someone who has been plant based for almost 10 years I'm soooo grateful to experience this category of desserts. I shared a box of their pastries with two friends and we all fell in love and are telling everyone around us about this place!! Still dreaming about the fruit tart, eclairs and omggggg the macaroons. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great pastries! Totally worth the visit, especially for the eclairs! You can also get them delivered!

Always delicious! The people are so kind and welcoming and the atmosphere very cute! As a vegan who lived in France, I very much have missed the food and was delighted when I heard a vegan pâtisserie had opened nearby. This place was everything I hoped it would be! I've also brought friends with various allergies here and the staff is very accommodating! Highly recommend read more

This place is everything!!!!!! I can't say enough good things and you cannot miss out on the pastries here. We first enjoyed sweets form ID-Eclair when it had a spot at Vegan Sundays and was sooo excited when it opened a brick and mortar. From the croissants to the macarons you will not be disappointed. Every single item we have had has been impeccable. The jalepeno cheese is one of my favs if you're looking for savory, and the eclairs are absolutely divine. I still can never get over the flaky layers of the croissant - they are the best I've ever had. Everyone has always been so kind and patient too with us when we come in - we usually leave with multiple boxes cause we can't decide on things. So make sure you come here! read more

French bakeries appear regularly in L.A., but a Vegan French Bakery by French-trained pastry chef Romuald Guiot, formerly of Three-Michelin-starred La Maison de Marc Veyrat? That's pretty rare! Vegans (and those with dairy allergies) can now rejoice because ID-Eclair by chef Romuald Guiot is nothing short of AMAZING! Their classic plain croissant (get it when they release a new batch in the morning) tastes as good as a real, butter croissant, except it's vegan! Flaky, crispy, it's total fire and delish! They are known for their eclairs (it's in their name ID-Eclair). They have so many interesting flavors! And it rotates every week i think. The Millefeuille / Napolean, Paris Brest and their seasonal French Currant eclairs were totally fire and worth ordering! Great pastry shell that tastes like the real eclair shell (but with no dairy used), creamy filling. Their mushroom danish was totally a must order as well. It tasted flaky, cheesy, full of umami, but again, it was dairy-free. Amazing. Their radicchio salad with walnuts and vegan blue cheese (wut?!) tasted just like actual blue cheese! Totes crazy. And it was just a great salad even if you could eat dairy. Can't wait to go back! read more

We tried many different things. Although we were going to another stop, I couldn't try everything I wanted. We tried a few sweet and savory things. My favorites were the jalapeno croissant and the pistachio elcair. The jalapeno croissant had a great amount of spice, speaking from a person who loves spicy food. The service was so amazing, they were friendly and helped us navigate the menu. The ambiance was great, too. I would normally get things to go but there was an open table and we just wanted to sit, enjoy and slow down before going about the rest of the day. I hope they continue serving amazing pastries and maybe (hopefully) they open an additonal location closer to the west side. read more

It's about time an all vegan bakery opened up in Pasadena. Located on the edge of old town, this vibey and modern cafe offers a variety of vegan pastries, food, and drinks. There were quite a few people on a Sunday afternoon, but no wait since I ordered for pickup. Unfortunately, the chocolate eclair, which they're named after, was quite underwhelming. Stale and hard dough with flavorless filling. The Mille-Feuille, however was a better experience. Nice crispy layers of pastry with a custard cream. read more

One of my new favorite spots in town! I drove for an hour because this is the first place I found that serves vegan eclairs! I'm so excited they finally opened. Their food is delicious as well (I had tomato soup) and coffee is pretty good too. Not to mention great friendly service that I experienced: despite the location being busy their staff members took their time to help me make a choice, recommended their favorite soup and cleaned the table for me. Nice interior of the place adds to the whole charm of the bakery. Everyone did fantastic job making this place warm, welcoming and delicious. Keep it up team!

This review is overdue. I've been vegan for 10 years and I've tried many vegan bacons... and the BLT I had here a couple months ago was one of if not THE best I've ever had. It was the sandwich du jour but I hope it's offered as a regular menu item. SO GOOD that I ate one there and ordered another for takeout. If I remember correctly, it was made using rice paper so it had a perfectly light crisp... not overly processed! Win-win. I hope they offer it again next time I'm there. read more
