Really did not enjoy my experience at Art Lunch today. - no air conditioning - limited seating for parties larger than 2 - limited restrooms - my pancakes were raw in the middle - maple syrup is an added $2 - eggs were dry and rubbery I came with a party of 4 and it was very hot and uncomfortable inside. They don't have air conditioning and leave the door open in the hot summer. We each got an entree that was about $24.99 each. Maple syrup for the pancakes is an additional $2. But the pancakes without the syrup would have been difficult to eat. If you ask for syrup after you ordered, they give you table syrup. Berries did not seemed washed. You have to ask for ketchup, cutlery, water, pretty much everything. Servers are slow and not very friendly/warm. Portions are large but it's not good so that doesn't make up for much. read more

Visited art lunch today and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. The menu has variety of options, it's diverse and inclusive. They also serve plenty of healthy options. People who work there are sweet and attentive, costumer service is on a different level. We were also treated with complimentary watermelon and blueberries. We ordered English breakfast and Armenian breakfast and both were exceptional. Highly recommend to stop for brunch or simply for tea or coffee since they have a wide range of dessert options. Will definitely be back! read more

It just got better and better as I walked in and ordered then eat and paid. All five star experience. I walked it a small beautiful and clean cafe in Pasadena . Fist impression it might be pricey. BUT ! Lunch specials and other plated even less pricy than most places I have been. Quality of food was homemade . Usually I don't use this term loosely. But here you can actually see the chef and she is making it fresh. I checked . Music was spot on for this type of Cafe . Service was out of this world and the guys working there very kind and knowledgeable. It's downtown Pasadena and parking is on you. All these for under 18$ ?????? HOW ??? Highly recommend for lunch or date . One of top tear places that deserves 6 star read more

Got a sandwich to go last weekend, with a side. The first thing I would have to say is the bread is very fresh I would have to assume they make it fresh on site. The way the bread cracks on the onside and softness on the inside, you know that it's fresh. The fillings, pretty typical of a deli sandwich. I got a turkey sandwich. The sandwich is a nice size at a good price. I got a greek salad on the side. This had really nice big chunks of tomato's, feta, cucumber, onion capers etc. it was very tasty. Since this place is located in old Pasadena, parking is going to be in garage and you'll will have to walk there. This place seems more popular for breakfast, so that is what I will be trying next. read more

We found this place by chance by seeing an instagram advertisement by a YouTuber, the cafe is on Colorado street. Very clean and trendy. The food quality does not disappoint. We tried the Armenian omelette and omg it was awesome! Highly recommended! The drinks were great, the drip coffee was high quality. They have a good variety of pastries, macaroons and baklava. The Best part was the service provided by the two kind young gentlemen, Aro and Vahag. They were very professional and attentive, even it was busy and it was only two of them there. Loved this place and definitely will come back... read more

Slightly underwhelming. The visit didn't start off on a great foot. I arrived at 7 when they opened and I stood at the front waiting, there were 2 workers in the back that saw me and didn't say anything. 7 minutes later someone comes up to the front door and unlocks it. I gather the staff that was already in the building are not front of house but seeing as how they saw me it would have been courteous to acknowledge me and let me know the opener should be arriving shortly. I was picking up a Too Good To Go bag which was a good value, I received a sandwich, croissant, and one other pastry. Since I was there I ordered a hot matcha tea. I was disappointed to see him merely pour hot water into a paper cup and add matcha without the traditional whisking. That resulted in a not very smooth matcha. I will say they have a really cute space and what looks like some other really good items on their menu so it's a toss up if I would come back. The focaccia was not to my liking, the bread was ok. But the olives had a strange taste to them and while I like spice there was a strange spiciness to it that didn't pair well with the flavors. The sandwich I got was decent, it reminded me of a school lunch which was kind of nostalgic. I beefed it up with a few home ingredients which made it better but I will say I really loved the ciabatta they use. Overall they are average, if in the area I might stop in but wouldn't go out of my way read more

Such a cool find! We were initially going for lunch but they had a breakfast burrito special that was too hard to resist! Their American Breakfast was absolutely stacked to the max with protein, eggs, and it even came with pancakes! I tried their bacon burrito and it wasn't greasy at all. The cheese blend worked very well with the eggs and potato and balanced out the bacon. The staff were really nice and patient with us. Definitely my next visit when I come back! read more

Randomly decided to go into this place when we needed a quick snack and it was such a good new find. Would so go again and get a latte and work there. Anyways their matcha puff was very yummy! It wasn't too flaky, but it was airy and not overly sweetened so I really did like it. Would go back and try their actual meals that are on the menu. read more

Walked in and Nelly Furtado was playing, immediately knew I loved this place! The employee working was very kind, card declined and they let me pay in cash. The service was above and beyond my expectations! The seating is wonderful, you can see the lovely outdoors from any table! The food was absolutely amazing, the fruit was fresh and zesty, the pancakes were soft yet crisped, and the chorizo burrito had real chorizo and was absolutely delicious! The strawberries were topped with a strawberry syrup, and overall the food was excellent. Will definitely be coming back soon and recommending this gem to friends read more

On a recent visit to Los Angeles and specifically Pasadena, I found this gem of a cafe. I travel a lot for work and always like to find a good quality breakfast burrito. This place has lots of options for breakfast burritos. The barista was also able to make a specific coffee for me that wasn't on the menu. Staff were friendly and attentive. I even scored a complimentary cinnamon bun which was delicious. The salads looked good too. Will definitely be back. Relaxing vibe, light colours and fresh decor. If you are looking for a breakfast/lunch spot, check out Art Lunch in Pasadena. Definitely worth it! read more

We were actually going to go grab some ice cream in downtown Pasadena after hanging out at the convention center for Cat Con but after walking past by, we saw that they had a pretty decent lunch special deal and we wanted to grab it within the last 30-40 or so minutes before they closed. Yay for spontaneous adventures! Service was friendly and they were accommodating to people even if they were entering in the last 5 minutes. As this place also doubles as a bakery though, just know that some things are sold out towards the end of the day or cannot be feasibly concocted for you for take out without disgustingly extending their hours. But that's just common sense though, right? Hopefully. Either way, the restaurant is quite cute and has a little bit of fancy flair to it. I can see it being a great place to grab a coffee and pastry or to have a fancy brunch to catch up with someone. Or if you just want to sit back and relax or catch up on some work or studying. It's refreshing mix of wood, brick, and greenery. For the lunch special that drew us in, we got the: Armenian Breakfast. Pretty unique as you can get either the standard American breakfast, or you can be more adventurous and get French, English (complete with baked beans), or the Armenian like we did. The Armenian Breakfast we got included: a choice of 2 eggs (we got over easy, feta cheese, Armenian gata (an Armenian sweet bread pastry), their homemade bread, green salad with vinaigrette, potato wedges, and a coffee. Boyfriend got the iced coffee no sugar and it helped him wake up from the midafternoon sleepies. Pretty sizeable dish and easily shareable if you want to eat something else in downtown a bit later. Bread was delicious and went great dipping into the egg yolk. The gata was a bit dry, but I'm sure you're supposed to enjoy this with the coffee. I'm a sucker for potatoes so I just snacked on these throughout the entire meal. You can never go wrong with breakfast and you can't go wrong with eating it here. read more

Art Lunch is my go-to spot in Pasadena for a solid, healthy meal. Their menu is full of fresh vegetables and delicious lean protein options, and when I'm craving something sweet, their pastries are AMAZING. What makes Art Lunch special, though, is the people. Hakob, the owner, runs his business with genuine care and consideration for his customers--he always greets me when I walk in and takes the time to recognize familiar faces. Aro at the register is just as wonderful: always kind, welcoming, and a pleasure to catch up with. It really feels like a family here, and you sense it the moment you walk through the door. read more

Art Lunch - Chicken Stir-Fry - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

We are soooo pleasantly surprised by this place. It was just beyond expectations! Aaaamazing, fresh taste of a real home-cooked meal. And believe you me, I have a gourmet chef cooking for me at home and I'm spoiled by all kinds of cuisines and home-cooked meals. So, my expectations are always very high and I am not easily pleased at all. So we ordered two classics, which was the Armenian traditional bean soup and the tomato omelette! And then we added the chicken quesadilla. I had zero expectations of the quesadilla, which turned out to be so amazing. I have never tasted anything so good in a quesadilla form. They made a healthy, light, mouth-watering remix on it. The dough (of the shell) was light and delicious and did not feel like a dough at all. The filling was very generous and balanced -- not greasy or annoyingly overwhelming with any ingredients. All made from scratch! Workers were also very generous and treated us to a housemade lemonade -- which I'm not a big lemonade fan, but the way they made it was so balanced and not overly sweet that I really enjoyed it. As for the other two dishes -- they were also through the Roof yummy. I looooved the soup, and I know both Armenian and Georgian cuisines (which is big on beans) very well and I'm a big fan of beans and I'm very picky with my beans. The broth and everything was so on point. And the last but not least -- the tomato omelette, which happens to be my not my favourite dish in general, even though I have somebody cooking it very well for me. But I took one spoonful and I was really impressed. And so was my family member who usually makes it herself from scratch at home. Overall, it really felt like we ate at home and ate a very good quality food, with our tummies feeling so happy and grateful right now. None of that heartburn, none of that bloating that you get when you eat at other places. Yes, there is no private parking but nothing on Colorado has private parking. However, the public parking is not too far and it's very reasonably priced only one dollar for the first two hours). This place is totally worth walking a little. I will definitely be back and I will be trying their stirfry and more dishes! And I'm really excited about trying their breakfast stuff. Oh, they also have really good looking pastries there. I was really eyeing the crêpe cake but I already got so full. Oh well. Next time. The guy running the place was also super nice super professional and super generous. He really treats customers with much patience and believe me, I'm a picky annoying kind of a customer who asks many questions and usually drives people up the wall. He did not even show a sign of irritation and was nothing but courteous and helpful. It is truly a gem in every way and a very rare thing to find these days to have a good quality Food, freshly made from scratch for a reasonable price in a clean place. PS I thought I would take the rest of my soup to go (it was a big bowl), but it was so good that I ended up finishing it on the spot lol read more

Honestly, not very impressed with this place. First things first let's talk about the welcoming I received from the young guy working....not a hello how are you nothing and no acknowledgment from the other lady that was working It was straight up What do you need? I had mentioned that I had two, too good to go orders to pick up. Immediately He had them bagged which had me a little red flagged because was the stuff just sitting there? Indeed the stuff was just sitting there. I ordered two different boxes, a lunchbox and a sandwich box and I will say the best thing out of both of my boxes was the cinnamon roll. Damn good cinnamon roll must I say but let's talk about the salads. They gave me two salads one in each box of the same kind however one had absolutely no feta cheese and one had like a piece and half they were very very stingy with the feta. They gave me an Italian sandwich for the sandwich box, but for the other box, they gave me half of a super soggy veggie wrap and when I say veggie wrap I mean literally all lettuce and some tomatoes. It was very disappointing. No sauce on the side or anything. I'm just curious how a business like this is supposed to attract more customers when they offer items like that to people that have never even truly heard of their restaurant. Most customers on too good to go to genuinely trying new restaurants and not being cheap and getting a cheaper meal. We just want to try a new places so it was a little bit disappointing that they cut corners this bad to the people genuinely inquiring about the food here. read more

Got a too good to go bag, originally $6 but $4 with a voucher. Such great variety, cinnamon roll, this cheese stuffed pastry, half a deli meat wrap, and a massive tub of guac. Wrap was soggy, but still great value! read more

Art Lunch - Too good to go ($6) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

The cafe is very cute and the staff is friendly, the food looked great, but missed the mark. My veggie omelet was quite greasy, and the frozen hash brown was undercooked in the middle and tasted like old oil. Even the sausage felt like standard fast food. My husband's food wasn't seasoned well either. We haven't tried their pastries, but they looked good--perhaps that's the safer bet. You order and pay (with tip) at the counter first. read more

Absolutely divine. I'm not one to like sausage this way but my gosh were these tasty. The salad, silly as it may sound was my favorite. Potatoes were soft, yet flaky.
