    8/3/26 Yep, the banana walnut pancakes are pretty good coz it's cooked in WITH the batter (not just on top)
    Jennifer W.

    8/3/26 Decent service, good food, mom n pop type of feel & ambiance in the heart of Pasadena. Indoor & outdoor seating available, dine-in & to-gos. Parking, street, free. Had this bookmarked & noticed that a few Yelp Friends have left their reviews on here. It looks like that hometown feel type of shop but the experience today was NOT that. Service was polite but not quite that welcoming that you would feel at a mom n pops shop. It's too bad coz if it were, we would frequent this diner/cafe. Most places that we're regulars at, we feel valued as patrons and are welcomed like family. I find less and less places have this kind of atmosphere. We ordered breakfast staples; Hubby ordered a machaca combo with flour tortillas & black beans, I opted for the (2 large!) banana walnut pancakes combo with chicken apple sausage, potatoes & over medium eggs. Our food arrived timely, hot and good presentation. Hubby said the machaca was decent because having had his fair share of machaca, these passed. My pancakes were huge! Flavor was good, as the banana slices & walnuts were cooked in, not just placed on top like most places. Macadamias would've been a better pairing though. The chicken apple sausage was flavorful & eggs were cooked as requested. Noise level was somewhat loud with all the clanging as tables were cleaned/bussed around us. Overall a decent experience for our first time visit, as mentioned, if the service was more thoughtful & welcoming, it would've made the difference from a 3 star to perhaps a 4 or a 5 star. Food for thought.

    This place is such a treat to go to. Despite being busy they seated us right away, took our orders gave us our food exactly the way we wanted it and we were out of there in no time! I got the California eggs Benedict with 4 eggs and potato's! Soooo good and I tried a lemon ricotta pancake also extremely yummy. The bathrooms are nice seating inside and all around the outside. Servers are very fast, polite, and diligent with their customers! I wish more places could be like this everywhere!

    I'd hear of Millie's many times and was so happy I finally got to try it. Checked in ahead on Yelp which was great. It was crowded as it was Saturday morning, but the staff get the food out quickly! Great, great service! Food was also very yummy. The pancakes were the best! Fluffy and you can actually taste the buttermilk. I'm a sucker for fresh biscuits so I had to try one. Good flavor but a bit too dense for my liking. Can't wait to go back to try other things!

    I was afraid there was going to be a long wait, but I went on a Friday morning & there was no line!! I loved the lemon ricotta pancakes!!! I'd probably return again to try other things on their menu! All of the employees were so kind as well! FEATURED Lemon Ricotta Pancake Breakfast Combo ($24) Huevos a la Mexicana ($20) Chilaquiles ($19) -- Plus added $7 for Machaca Beef even though the menu said it would be $4

    Went on a very grueling hike, so we came to Millie's Cafe for a well-earned reward of a meal! My mind had been thinking of a breakfast burrito for hours, so naturally I ended up order the Famous Breakfast Burrito with my choice of meat beating Sausage Link. The burrito was really well-constructed. Very well balanced between the eggs and crispy tater tots! Was also a bit bemused that they didn't have hash browns on the weekend, but ordered some tasty Rosemary Potatoes instead. Staff here were great. Really nice to us even though the restaurant was about to wrap up for the day. Definitely worth the visit, need to check out some of the other menu items.

    Updating our review to 5 stars (: pistachio latte is delicious. The chilaquiles Benedict was also delicious. Service was quick and good. Will definitely be back

    Revisited with my wife for another brunch occasion and we might be more impressed this time than our previous visit. It was packed as usual and we got on the Yelp waitlist about 15 minutes before arrival which is always recommended. After being seated, we placed our order quickly and our food came out more quickly than our previous visit which is a great sign to see especially since they're busy all the time. This time around, I got the California Omelet and my wife got the Maynard Scramble. Both were absolutely phenomenal, potatoes are perfectly cooked and eggs were perfect as well. Both dishes aren't too filling as well which is great. Portions that they hand out are always big so prepare for a big FEAST. Absolutely love coming to Millies, can't wait for the next visit to try other menu items.

    Parking: Millie's Cafe is located on the corner of Hill and Washington. There is usually street parking on Hill. Exterior: There are tables set up on the sidewalk for outdoor dining. Interior: The interior was pretty crowded. The tables were very close together so it was also very noisy as people try to talk over each other. Service: It usually takes me about 30-45 minutes to get seated. The waitlist is pretty long and you can sign up ahead on Yelp. Food: The food is pretty good. I have tried several omeletes. The Denver omelet is probably my favorite. They are loaded with ingredients and the egg is usually cooked perfectly unlike some places where it just ends up dry or burnt. Their pancakes are also great. They are made to order and extremely fluffy. I will definitely be back for more.

    The food was delicious. I enjoyed my breakfast burrito but next time I want to get the slutty bun. The Arnold Palmer was delicious as well. The service was great and I like how attentive the Pasadena location is with the clientele. The ambiance is pretty small, I wish there was bigger space because it is a bit of everyone on top of everyone. Overall the food is delicious and the service is great if you are ever in Pasadena step on by.

    Love this place! Love that there is plenty of free parking on the street. I LOVE their food. New favorite: blueberry French toast. A new MUST. Their Benedicts are also bomb! I also really love all the choices for coffee and drinks here. Service is wonderful. I love how the entire crew tag teams the restaurant. Our main server was Joey, but literally everyone from other servers to the food runners were fantastic and super attentive. The inside is nice, but we enjoyed the immediate outdoor seating. It was a beautiful day out, so à la Fresca was the only right choice! I've been here before and knew this place was awesome, so I was happy to share this place with my friend who has never been here. Definitely coming back again!

    Stopped by Millie's Cafe and overall had a solid experience. The portions are definitely on the bigger side, which is always a plus, though the food itself was just okay. We ordered the country fried steak and the chicken & waffles benedict--the benedict was pretty decent and satisfying, but the country fried steak was a bit bland and could've used more flavor. The Blueberry Oat Matcha wasn't overly sweet, which I really liked--it had a nice balance. Service was great--our servers were attentive and helpful throughout. Just a heads up, it gets packed pretty quickly, so I'd recommend going early. I'd come back to try their chilaquiles next time.

    I came to visit this spot after a morning of hiking. There is a parking lot in the back , however it was full at the time I went so I parked on the street by a church. I was seated outside by the street , tables were a bit small & close, but still cozy. Staff was friendly & open to questions. I went with the Eleanor special which was a 10/10 , the potatoes were made with rosemary & seasonings. I also had an iced matcha latte with a pump of vanilla. There are other sweeteners that can be added as well which was a plus. I would love to come back to try their waffles !

    Food: Sunday "brunch" here was incredible (it was 2 pm haha) We ordered many dishes however the lemon ricotta pancakes were absolutely the standout. What really impressed me was their vegan menu; it's much more extensive than most cafes offer, with plenty of options that don't feel like an afterthought Service: Great overall! The host was warm and welcoming and even though it was a busy Sunday with a 30 to 40 minute wait, we were seated quickly once our table was ready. We sat outside and while it's not a true true patio (tables along the sidewalk), the gorgeous weather made it feel special anyway Atmosphere: Such a chill, cute vibe. It's easy to see why locals love this place. We'll definitely be back!!

    Do you guys seat parties of 10 or larger?

    Yes, we do!

    Do you accommodate tree nut allergies (cashew, walnut, pecans, pistachios)?

    Are there pancakes?

    Yes there are pancakes and a variety as well!

    Is there outside dining?

    Yes

    Is it still open for outdoor seating as of 12/12/20 ? Thanks

    Unfortunately we’re not open for outdoor seating we only doing phone order & take out!

    Is this owned/managed by the same Millie who owned "A Penny for Your Thoughts" (that used to be in the same building on Washington)?

    No. It is managed by the same people that run Millie's in Silverlake. It's a husband and wife.

    Are you pet friendly?

    Yes! For the outdoor seating I see many dogs sitting with their owners

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes! They make a gluten free waffle and pancake. Just ask how they make it if you're extra sensitive.

    Does anyone know if they are open on July 4th? Thanks! (For those who think I should call, I tried…

    I'm almost positive they are open but an hour or so before you want to eat go on waitlist it's the best

    Do they take reservation or call ahead to be placed on waitlist?

    You can put your name on their waitlist on Yelp. Very convenient.

    Can I order take out?

    Yes, you can order take out, but sometimes they get so busy on the weekends they might not accept take out orders for a bit. It slows the kitchen down & they usually have a long waitlist to get seated.

    Is Millie's Cafe dog friendly? The dog is an emotional support animal & would be in a pet stroller

    They have outdoor seating and allow dogs!

I ordered the stacked pancake breakfast along with an iced matcha latte, which was refreshing after a workout class nearby. My husband chose the brisket lunch burrito. Our food took quite a while to arrive, close to 30 mins! But the staff was very apologetic and even brought us a complimentary muffin while we waited. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. I swapped the bacon for tofu, and it made for a satisfying breakfast. However, my husband wasn't as impressed with his brisket burrito, saying it was a bit dry. Based on this visit, I'd recommend sticking with the breakfast items, pastries, and of course, the coffee. Copa Vida still makes a great cup of coffee!

When I ordered a matcha, the employee asked if regular milk was okay, and I said oat milk was fine. However, I was never informed that oat milk was an additional $1 charge. She also never asked what size I wanted and then told me to pay. When I looked at the screen, I saw that the total was $7 for a large. I only wanted to spend around $5-$6, so I asked if I could get a small instead. I was surprised to see that the price was still the same. When I asked why, she then explained that oat milk was a $1 up charge and she didn't charge me on the large order for oatmilk. I don't mind paying the extra dollar, but I feel customers should be informed about an additional charge before being charged for it. Also, if getting a large was actually the better deal, I would have appreciated being told that. What made the interaction more frustrating was that the employee seemed distracted and dismissive while her coworker was talking to her. I ended up getting the small, even though I was confused about the pricing. The matcha itself was good, but unfortunately, because of the customer service experience, I don't think I'll be returning. I don't expect anything special--just clear communication about pricing and to be asked what size I'd like before being charged.

    The Reyn is a popular breakfast spot in Pasadena and a place I still visit from time to time,…read moreusually when meeting friends or colleagues. Despite its popularity, I find the food to be fairly average. Much of it tastes like it's made from standard commercial food-service ingredients rather than prepared fresh. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, the dining room has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is generally attentive. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood breakfast restaurant - nothing particularly memorable, but nothing especially disappointing either. The Reyn Special - 3/5. A classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and banana bread. The eggs and bacon are fairly average, although the bacon tends to be overcooked and dry. The standout is the hash browns. They're cooked with a nicely browned, crispy crust while still remaining fairly moist inside. The real highlight, however, is the banana bread. It tastes homemade and is easily the best item on the plate. Crepes - 1/5. This dish comes as two separate plates: one with the ricotta-filled crepes and another with eggs, sausage, bacon, and your choice of fries or tater tots. Unfortunately, the crepes are the weakest part of the meal. The ricotta-filled crepes don't taste freshly made and instead resemble a pre-made food-service product that's simply reheated before serving. Both the crepe and ricotta filling have a generic flavor with noticeable artificial notes. You can choose either banana or strawberry topping, but both sauces taste overly processed and artificial. The accompanying breakfast plate is noticeably better. I chose the tater tots, which were well prepared - crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. The bacon, however, was again overcooked and dry, making it tough to chew. The sausage was acceptable but unremarkable. Scrambled Supreme - 2.5/5. Despite the name, this is essentially an omelet. The eggs have a mild, neutral flavor, and the fillings are okay but don't stand out. Coffee - 2/5. The coffee is classic diner coffee in every sense. It's somewhat watery, heavily roasted, and finishes with a flat, slightly bitter aftertaste. It's neither particularly good nor particularly bad - just standard coffee that does the job. Overall, The Reyn succeeds as a comfortable, affordable breakfast spot with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. While the food is average, and several dishes rely on ingredients that taste commercially prepared rather than freshly made.

I could've made something at home that tasted better and it sure wouldn't have taken that long to come out. Feel like I wasted my night and my money. Possibly one of the worst experiences I've ever had eating out. Edit: OH MY GOD I FORGOT THEY CHARGE A 20% SERVICE CHARGE AND FOR WHAT?? To wait for an hour and waste our time to serve us the most mid food? Please

    Granville is not just great food, it's a wonderful experience. We showed up at 11:20 and they don't…read moreopen until 11:30. They got a lot of good stuff on the menu. We started with the artisan bread as an appetizer, and then the sweet potato fries. The bread and butter was really good. The sweet potato fries were a solid choice almost got Brussels sprouts may do that next time. I was really considering the Wagyu beef stroganoff as well. . A co-worker had the spicy pasta and loved it. We were there celebrating a special occasion, a retirement celebration. . I ordered the rainbow trout top 5 I have had in a really lon time. They brought out a card for her retirement, which surprised her, and they provided a dessert too. The food, the service, and the experience were all five star. If you want to go somewhere for a special meal or to celebrate, Granville is a great choice. I definitely plan to come back. I picked my meal from looking at the Yelp pictures, not the menu. I posted a few pictures as well. great vibe speakng If I lived closer I would come more often. I hope you enjoy my pictures.

    Friends and I visited Granville in Pasadena for dineLA lunch on a Friday. Restaurant was bustling…read more ~35 minute wait for a table. It was nice to get out of the summer heat into an air conditioned restaurant. What we ordered: Drinks (included with $25 dineLA prix-fixe) - Berry lemonade - non-refillable - Craft soda (cream soda) - refillable Appetizers - Grilled mushrooms - Farmhouse beets Entrees - Poke bowl - Pasta alla Vodka Dessert (gelato) - vanilla fleur de sel - dark chocolate - cherry almond chip The berry lemonade was salty. I wasn't expecting a salty drink. I had to wash it down with iced water. My friend enjoyed her agave vanilla cream soda. She gladly accepted a refill. The grilled mushrooms were nicely seasoned. We enjoyed the variety: oyster and trumpet mushrooms. The farmhouse beets were served with arugula, feta, candied pecans, and a lemon vinaigrette. These were nice starters. I ordered the poke bowl. The portion size was perfect for lunch. It contained tuna, soba noodles at the base, small cubes of mango & avocado, toasted coconut, red onion, basil, and sesame seeds. The ingredients were fresh and beautifully presented. The pasta alla vodka was slightly spicy. It consisted of "mezze maniche" or large tubular pasta, pungent pecorino cream, tomato, garlic, and shallots. It was topped with grated Parmesan cheese. This was a heavier entree. Each of us had one scoop of gelato. It was a nice finish to a pleasant Friday afternoon.
