Swung by this place on my way to old town Pasadena and decided to give it a try. You 're first impressed by how the place looks inside. They have a bistro type decor with all the canned foods and frozen (on premise made) pasta carefully and color coordinated in the freezer. All the meats and breads are laid out in a very presentable fashion behind this very nice modern looking glass showcase. I was second in line and didn 't mind the wait as all the items this place had kept me curious and busy. The smells of espresso beans filled this quaint space so I decided to order a piping hot latte and 2 sandwiches as I always want to new things. I was suggested to try their roast beef and their break...
I wanted to treat my sister to a lovely lunch, so I took her to this restaurant. As soon as we walked in, the staff welcomed us warmly. Since it was our first visit, the menu felt a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, Angelica (I believe that's her name) came over to assist us. We let her know it was our first time, and she patiently explained how everything worked. Her recommendations were spot-on, and we were so glad we took her advice. Angelica's warm smiles really made our experience even better. The portion sizes were just right, and my sister and I finished everything. The atmosphere was delightful—a perfect setting for a relaxing lunch. We will definitely be coming back!
Breakfast 9-11am! And if you eat there you get the yummy potato/pepper/onion side free with your breakfast order. (if to go , you have to pay extra)Most of my peers come here for lunch and keep coming back. I've only ever tried the breakfast, coffees and their sweet treats. My fave is the califorian wrap and luckily they don't skimp on the bacon. I tried it on wheat bread once but it didn't exactly stay together, it is a generous portion. Coffee is just okay and honestly it's been a hit or miss based on my picky foam preferences. All the treats I've tried are delicious and customer service is always great.
I really appreciate their to-go salad order form located at the end of the cooler. I can customize my salad with all the toppings I love, like plenty of bacon, lots of cheese, generous amounts of avocado, and an array of fresh veggies and greens. My five-year-old feels like she's back in Paris when we order a fresh baguette with butter and sliced salami. My wife loves that we can have a local picnic while we enjoy our meal.
We adore their food, and the staff is fantastic!

I really enjoy this Italian restaurant! As someone who's new to the neighborhood, I started visiting for lunch and I love the café-style atmosphere. Their menu offers a wide variety of choices, but my favorite is the plates where you can select 3-4 items from a selection of proteins, pastas, and salads. They also have a lovely coffee bar and charming seating areas. I highly recommend checking it out!
Tried this place for the first time today. Delish! I had the Toscano Panini and a lemon julep. The Panini was perfect but the best part was the lemon julep. I would gladly drink one every day. It is blended with ice, and the combination of lemonade, vanilla and fresh mint make it so refreshing! I will definitely go back and try some other food items and get another lemon julep soon!
My wife and I have been coming this place frequently for Saturday lunch. Sandwiches are good but not great. Went for the last time this past weekend. They raised the price $1.00 and reduced the sandwich portions. Not worth $11.00 for 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad. We will now be going only to Hey, that 's Amore in Holly. Bigger better sandwiches for less.
Cute place. Fits perfect in the neighborhood. They probably got one of the best meatball subs around. But that's basically it. If you're on a healthy binge, you can create your own salad, but as soon as you turn the corner, stacked in the fridge are Cool Haus ice-cream cookie sandwiches....dare you not to get one!

Fantastic lunch options, love the vibe! Wish I could get back down here for breakfast, if I was a local I'd be in here wayyyy to often. Did the roast beef sandwich paired with a caesar salad 100% satisfied!
Stopped by on a Sunday morning. Low key corner spot with outside seating. Good paninis and salads. Great pastries and coffee. Would recommend this local spot.
