Came here with my best friend on a Sunday morning. This spot is tucked away in the heart of Old Town Pasadena in an alleyway right across from Edwin Mills by Equator. Lovely little spot with greenery all around. I love me some Ube so I automatically gravitated towards the Boo Berry Crumble. I loved it! It was delicious! I ended up ordered it with oat-milk It was definitely blueberry heavy, which I didn't mind. I enjoyed the texture. Enjoyed the drink and the vibes! Service was excellent, the ladies were sweet! Hot tip: come in the early morning on Sundays. Free street meter parking before 10 or 11am.

Matcha Pistachio Croissant

What a beautiful coffee and pastry shop! I see the term Instaworthy used a lot these days, but these are one of those places that truly deserve it. More importantly, the drinks and pastries here are good. Full disclosure, I came here, trying to hit up another new pastry spot in the area. But the line was down the block. There was no way I was gonna wait in that line so I found this spot on a quick search. It's almost criminal that there was no one at the shop and it was so close to the other spot. I will say this place doesn't have a lot of visibility from the main street because you'd have to walk in a little bit down, sort of an alleyway with other shops and eateries. The person behind the counter was really, really friendly and helpful. I was able to get my drink (Savvvy's Special) pretty much right away and the Matcha & Pistachio croissant was really delicious. I was on my way to meet up with some friends at their house so I wasn't able to sit here for very long and enjoy the serene and beautiful setting. Definitely a big fan of this place and would love to come back soon.

Matcha Chaga & Savvvys Special. ( ^_^)b

We came by to redeem the Savvvys promotion from the SGV passport. It was for a BOGO free on any drink purchase. They are located in the Mills Pl alley area. We came by on same Sunday as the Rose Bowl Marathon so it was very busy. The location has spacious dining areas outside and a few tables inside the shop. The staff was very personable and kind to us. She noted customers periodically use the SGV passport from time to time. We decided on the Savvvys Special and Matcha Chaga. Both of them with Oat Milk. They do offer all kinds of milk alternative bases. Our drinks were completed within minutes and we enjoyed them outside in the patio. IMO, both of them were stellar. The perfect blends of sweetness with the proper amount of caffeine to boost you up for the day! Of the two, I enjoyed the Savvvys the most and would order it again. Savvvys is a great place to kick back and enjoy some coffee and matcha! Check em out! ( ^_^)b

The shop is so cute and great of photos. Staff is friendly. The drinks were great actually ! They had very unique flavors I haven't seen at other coffee spots. I got the lavender coffee and you can really taste the coffee and it wasn't too sweet. I'm going back there today after I write this review !!

The blueberry drink was really good! Hard to find seating. They were out of stock for the lavender latte and we tried the mushroom pastry which was just ok.

Easy to find, friendly services, great outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. Lady lavender (4/5) tasty and strong Strawberry chocolate scone (2.5/5) I'm not a scone person but this sounded delicious and was hoping it would change my mind but it didn't. Overall, I would come back and try their other drinks and pastries.

BOGO thanks to SGV passport :) Rose Matcha Latte and the Cinnamon Latte! The drink was not bad and tasted good. It's very cozy and a vibe in the coffee shop!

Mazapan latte
Karla R.

Freaking DELICIOUS coffee!! The ambiance is so earthy and spacious. The service is A1! I will def be coming back. I got the mazapan latte, I finished it so fast I wanted another one.

Savvvys Special
Erika T.

Such a cute spot with nice outdoor and indoor seating. The ordering area can be cramped during busy hours but you can easily wait outside after. Ordered the Savvvy Special which basically tastes like a honey cinnamon latte. It wasn't overly sweet which I liked and had a good balance of the espresso. Overall a good spot and I would come again

Nutella Croissant
Cassidy I.

The space is comfortable and there are a lot of plants, which is nice. The coffee was very expensive, but tasty! Unfortunately, the pastry I got (Nutella croissant) was nasty. There was some sort of filling inside, maybe a cookie butter? I'm not sure, but it had split and was chunky and greasy. There was very little Nutella flavor aside from the zig zag on the top of the pastry. We also got water from the dispenser and there was stuff floating in it.

Boo Berry Crumble
Francisco M.

There's parking at many structures or the streets. This location is in an alley way so you'll have to be careful from possible traffic coming through. The interior is nice and clean. There's indoor seating and outdoors which is great for dogs. The staff are nice and the food arrived fairly quick. I got the hot boo berry crumble. It was pretty good and not too overly hot. I like the crumble bit on top. The sweetness level s just right. The spinach and cheese pastry was okay. It was tasty enough although it was too pricy for the size. I really wanted to like this more but it was mostly okay. Still worth trying out!

*Note: TDLR at the end of the review Rosey Cheeks: 6.5/10 Can taste the espresso and has a subtle but lingering rose flavor. Great way to ease into your morning and for those who want to drink coffee but don't like super strong espresso. It definitely matches the description. Was expecting it to pack more of a punch, but definitely not mad at it! It's interesting and it grew on me as I drank it for sure. Drink it remotely fast though. Once the ice melts, it gets more watery than most coffees. Not complaining as it's only natural, but something to note. Service: 10/10 Great service! Didn't catch his name, but he was tall with longish hair. Very kind and very helpful. He helped me figure out what I wanted based on my tastes/cravings. My drink came out very fast as well! Ambiance: 10/10 Came at about 11:30am on a Thursday. Calm jazz music was playing with very light chatter in the background. Great place to get work done or to spend your morning. There are outlets along the booths, air conditioning, and somewhat limited seating. It's along an alleyway in Downtown Pasadena, so parking is street or structure. Love the natural lighting and aesthetic of the place is very coherent. TDLR: Great place to study or catch up with a friend during the week. There are outlets and limited seating. Staff is very helpful. Drink I got wasn't particularly what I was looking for, but would be open to coming back and trying another coffee.

I ordered the romantic dreams latte and asked them to lessen the amount of condensed milk so it wasn't too sweet and it's perfect. I got it iced with regular milk and it was great. I also ordered the pumpkin muffin which is warmed up. It needed some time to cool down to be able to eat it. I loved sitting by the window and seeing the dogs pass by. Dogs are welcome here too which wins extra points for me. The service is very friendly and its latinx owned business. Happy to support and I can't wait to come back!

Expect to pay $20+ for most of the dishes Ordered the Avocado Benedict ($20.95) and it consisted of 2 egg muffins, topped with a poached egg, avocado, and ham, as well as a garden salad and country fried potatoes. One of the eggs arrived destroyed so it was already runny and the other one was a little overcooked so it wasn't perfectly poached as I was expecting but it wasn't too big of a deal. The ham was a little dry and salty but the avocado was very delicious and fresh. The egg muffin was quite cold and dry so it wasn't too enjoyable. The garden salad was pretty basic and just had some greens, corn, and tomatoes so nothing too special. The potatoes arrived cold, dry and slightly crunchy. It was extremely salty so it was hard to enjoy Overall, I thought the food was a little pricey and underwhelming unfortunately.

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.

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 girl taking our order was very sweet, but I must have missed the part when she said the drinks are picked up at the counter. When we received our food, we asked about the beverages - the waiter mentioned those are picked up at the counter.

We sat outside (perfect weather - overcast) and we shared an order of the avocado toast and the French toast plate. Good coffee, great portions with aligned price points.

However, the Original ribeye melt was to freaking die for soooo good, excellent! This place is a little on the pricey side, but everything is going up fast currently so there's that. But I must say, you owe yourself, treat yourself to something nice every now and then. The service was nice, the atmosphere was superb, and the food was excellent.

Expect to spend a few shiny pennies, but it's well worth the splurge. We went all out, and enjoyed the asparagus fries, some mocktails, and adult beverages to enjoy along side our steak dinners. We pretty much all ordered the Bistro Plate, and all loved it! All the meats were cooked perfectly, and the soup was amazing! That nights soup special was the ginger carrot. It was so well balanced, smooth, full flavored and all around perfect. My friend and I, also ordered a side of mashed potato, and again amazing and worth it. The whole meal was the perfect portion. No leftovers, and certainly not hungry for the rest of the night! Our server was on point, attentive professional. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. The meal from start to finish was just as expected for a fine dining experience. 5 star all the way. A must. Chef's kiss. I will 100% be back.

Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing experience. The woman taking our order did not seem to know what Celiac disease or gluten even was, and became visibly annoyed when I asked basic questions about food preparation and cross contamination. When I asked about the prep station and whether gloves or utensils could be changed, she refused to ask the cooks. From what I was told, nearly everything shares the same grill. The only item that might potentially be safe would be eggs cooked in a separate pan, but without changing gloves or utensils, even that would not actually be safe for someone with Celiac disease. I ended up not eating at all. I actually left my party and waited in the car because I wanted to cry. It was embarrassing and honestly heartbreaking to feel like asking questions to protect my health was treated like an inconvenience. I completely understand not every restaurant can accommodate Celiac, but kindness, honesty, and basic understanding go a long way. I hope the staff can receive better education about food allergies and cross contamination in the future.

It is a beautiful spot to have lunch, dinner or brunch. We have tried all, but we do love their dinner menu the best. Parking can be a pain, but you will be fine. The place is super clean and new looking, although we have been coming for a few years now. The service is great, from the Hostess to the servers, all were on their game as was the kitchen. Our food was perfect and we have zero complaints. You must try Bone Kettle. It is worth it. It is Asian food and boy is it great. It is upscale Asian and you can taste it in every bite. Their Beef Ribs which is a Bone Kettle signature dish- also has fried shallots, scallions. It is so tender and juicy. I am not in love with their Oxtail dumplings, but they were very good and my grandson is in love with them. They are juicy and just so fresh tasting. Their Rendang Carbonara is a must try. It is 24hr braised shredded short ribs, fried shallots, chives, micro cilantro, parmesan cheese, bell peppers, noodles, bacon and poached egg. You can add bone marrow for about 12$. Do that. Finally, and we love all the food, but the Seafood Char Kway Teow is a must if you like fishcakes. It is rice noodles, pork lap cheong, prawns, fishcake, clams, mussels, calamari, bean sprouts, egg, fried shallots, green onions and great chives and chili oil. The oysters in the shell are also great. Have fun.
