Dan P. • April 6, 2023A perfect restaurant. I Love everything about it. Will come here any time I’m in Pasadena. (Pic is 32 spice chicken with garlic and veggies)

John K. • December 29, 2015Great beers on tap and delicious hot dogs & burgers on king's Hawaiian rolls and buns.

Kelly B. • August 8, 2011The perfect lemony kick of the Rocket Man is unlike any other "vegetarian" pizzas I've tried in a long long time! Highly recommended!

Audrey • July 20, 2015Pretty much can't go wrong with anything Copa Vida has to offer. Awesome staff, nice space, great coffee, teas, and food. What more could you ask for?

Simple F. • March 27, 2017Edamame Dumplings, Hummus, Cauliflower, Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl with Grass fed beef. Healthiest restaurant in Pasadena.

Jeff V. • June 27, 2013It's like the Chipotle of pizza! The crust is thin, crispy, and delicious straight out of the oven. The staff is great. Currently $7.45 for a build your own. I go with an Art Lover and add olives.

Mike L. • December 17, 2014Delicious, fresh, healthy food and a friendly staff that wants to make sure you're happy. Try the white bean hummus!

Mark T. • October 6, 2014Great vibe...and great if you're travelling solo...sit at the bar and relax! ABC omelet with a banana nut pancake to follow is my personal fave 😋😋😋

Marlon A. • July 28, 2015This is one of the coolest place to hang out. Great Spanish coffee & Japanese latte and so much more!

Irina @. • June 15, 2012Happy Vegan has a great combo of Farro Wheat with Cranberry & Hazelnuts, Quinoa with Cucumber & Beets, Green Hummus, Tabbouleh, Tender Greens

Chris H. • December 30, 2018Hard to go wrong. The peanut butter yogurt with a brownie and some oreos is the thing of dreams.

Tina L. • October 22, 2010Great happy hour! Steak sashimi is delicious and only $3.50!

Connie C. • May 12, 2019Gorgeous decor and great food! The best is the oxtail dumpling, so good. The fatty brisket bone broth noodles are also amazing. Everything else is good but these two are the best.

Eater • May 9, 2016A seasonally inflected California-Italian restaurant, Kalman does everything from house made pasta to innovative appetizers to hefty mains like the epic porchetta. The wine program is also top notch.

Jaime P. • March 5, 2014Handmade ice cream sandwiches. You choose the ice cream and the cookie. Much like their food truck but you don't have to chase their brick and mortar location.

Christina • March 18, 2019This matcha cookie butter blended latte with taro whipped cream just made my taste buds dance. So good!

eric b. • December 28, 2022Nice staff and good coffee. Will have to come back for the chocolate.

Joann F. • August 20, 2011The Chicken Salad croissant has been my staple since I was 10. Delicious!!!

Leon V. • August 3, 2015Perhaps the best cold brew coffee outside of Cape Town. Their ham and cheese croissant with a smidge of whole-grain mustard is so good, I want to hollow it out and live in it.

Trina U. • December 11, 2013What everyone says about the Short Rib meat is true. Beautifully marinated, charred just right and available in either taco or hash form (which sounds a bit weird, but gets my vote for best dish).

Carol L. • January 13, 2013Beautiful space of wood and brick. Great place for whiskey (check out their flights btwn $10-13) and craft beer lovers. There are two TVs so you can check out the game without the sports bar vibe.

Jasmine S. • October 15, 2014The Mac n Cheese pie is amazing if you want something savory. The Earl Grey pie is just hands down incredible. Friendly service and they also use the Belly App for points!

Lily E. • August 30, 2021Great service, ambience. Good food

Nicole E. • October 3, 2013Yum gelato, in the alleyway right across ipic theaters <3

Eater • November 17, 2016The downtown Pasadena mainstay is consistently packed on weekends and nights, and its pad thai is one of the better renditions in a city absolutely teeming with Thai food restaurants.

Martin D. C. • June 8, 2015So much better than the Irvine store. Larger store, more in door seats, and no line! My fave is still the Rose Bread. So much flavor and for less than $3 you can share it with your friends!
