I have been coming since 2020 and I can't believe I haven't written a review?! I loveeeeeeee EVERYTHING here. You could close your eyes and pick an item off the menu and have it easily become one of your new favorite dishes. Everything I've tried here I've loved. My favorite is their breakfast plate -- the hashbrowns ?! INSANE. Pure delicious buttery cheesy ooey gooey goodness Their eggs are pasture raised and top tier. I always get mine scrambled and dash it with their house made hot sauces which you can purchase (I did) Their burgers are amazing, the avocado fries are the bomb. The service is always pleasant! And it's cute and quaint inside. They also offer outside seating which is nice if you have any fur babies. Any excuse to come to Cos & Pi, I'm running over read more

We've been coming here regularly--not frequently-- since before COVID. I remember donating to their gofundme during those very difficult times. They've had to tweak and retweak the menu over the years, but I still come for the salmon toast for breakfast. Turkey Salad for lunch. Sometimes I order the irresistible crunchy French fries. It's a small menu, to be sure, but I come for my regular dishes. Xotchil notices when we've not been by for a bit. Feels like a warm local spot. Sometimes we go on an urban hike through the hilly neighborhood across the train tracks afterwards. read more

I used to always walk by this spot but never tried them. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their bacon cheddar jalapeño scone, hash brown, and get to the chopper burger to try. The bacon cheddar jalapeño scone had a crisp outside, buttery moist crumbly inside, was a bit sweet and spicy, and packed with plenty of jalapenoy flaves. Wasn't getting much bacon or cheddar tho. The hash brown was smaller than expected but had a crispity crunchity exterior with gooey, creamy, rich, cheesey, savory, flavorful interior. The burger was MASSIVE and came with a juicy patty, Gruyere cheese, sweet gooey caramlized onions and bacon jam, savory aioli, bitter arugula, creamy limey mashed avocado that helped cut through all the richness, and crispity crunchy cheddar cheese and bacon that helped provide a nice textural contrast and was all on a pillowy buttery brioche bun. Pretty much everything is made from scratch and they said they've been struggling lately so definitely come check them out cuz this place is pretty good. Get to the chopper burger $14 Hash brown $4 Bacon cheddar jalapeño scone $4 read more

Food service is excellent, quality of food is just as good. I really like the house coffee and the bread for LABT is HUGE! Bacon was over cooked to my preference but everything is so yummy it's hard to miss. Sometimes it gets busy here but today was not so crowded and food was served promptly. Very chill spot to enjoy breakfast. read more

Cos&Pi - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

A Decade of Good Eats Sign of a good restaurant is the consistency of food quality and customer service year after year. The simplicity of a smaller menu means that they can focus on delicious items throughout the entire menu. With a constant line out the door they're able to pump out food from the kitchen so quickly. I don't think it was a matter of a couple minutes from when I ordered and the drinks and parts of the order started to arrived at the table. The local neighborhood charm of Cos&Pi is why people love this place. It really does feel like everyone there walked from their house down the block. You're also treated as so while you're there, you're one of the locals. Avocado Toast If you don't try this here, you've failed. This is THE best avocado toast I've ever had and I don't take that statement lightly. I almost don't even want to explain to you how mouth-watering delicious it is so that you can try it for yourself. There's so much depth in the range of flavors, not to mention how aestheticly beautiful of a dish it is, too. read more

Been here several times. Never disappointed with the food. "House-made spam," even. The mind boggles. It seems they have no indoor seating? Because of the air conditioner in there? Too loud to have a conversation with dining companions. read more

Ordering before having the food is a good practice for a small restaurant. The food is made well and served quickly, but really messy eating. Dining in the restaurant was comfortable and not really a long wait. I would come back and get the burrito. read more

Cos&Pi - L.A.B.T. (Lettuce, Avocado, Bacon, Tomato) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I don't know how they have the prices they have with such a high quality of food. I got the spamwich (with homemade spam) and my partner got the croissant, which they were able to switch out the bacon for tempeh for. Both were delicious. I wasn't totally in love with the spam, so next time, I'll probably ask to sub out the spam for more veggies, avo, or tempeh, but the eggs were SO good. We also got the raspberry hibiscus tea lemonade, and an arnold palmer, and I think that was like, one of the best arnold palmers I've ever had - strong tea flavor that was balanced by a prominent lemonade flavor. And the raspberry hibiscus was so delicious. I can't believe that I haven't been here yet (it's been on my list for almost 10 years), so happy to finally have made it out. Will be coming back, hopefully much more often! read more

Cos&Pi - spamwich and Cos & Pi Breakfast Croissant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Woke up this morning telling my gf COS & PI was my all time favorite breakfast. The hash brown alone puts it up there. But the service, the cute neighborhood feel is what really makes it my favorite. I'm heartbroken this morning, wishing I had a last breakfast date eating a yummy burrito, or the delicious BLAT, or the turkey sandwich with the cranberry jam! And an extra hash brown to go. I will be missing Cos&Pi dearly, a lot of core memories made here. Wishing it comes back :( Thank you for everything Cos&Pi. read more

Food was good (but messy lol), the diner is super small but it was a nice day and we made it in right before the rush. The food came surprisingly quick and you could tell the staff was doing their best to handle the coming crowd. My friend gave me some of their fries and they were so good. 10/10 trying a burger and fries next time. read more

That feeling of peace and quiet with a perfectly made Avocado Toast. This and a few good moments catching up with a friend while sipping on a refreshing cup of Matcha Lemonade. This place will have you wanting to stay hours it's so comfy!! It's a quiet neighborhood and I think that's the charm I get when I'm here. It's a friendly place serving up amazing brunch bites. Been here several times with friends and can't say enough. Simple yet beautiful is how I'd describe their dishes. Everything looks cute and special. Everything you would want for breakfast is there. Try their waffles and garlic fries you won't be sorry. Definitely a cute spot and will keep going back! read more

Oh no! I'm heartbroken that Cos & Pi is closed! It was seriously the best breakfast in LA! This is so sad! Everything I had there was amazing. My husband loved it too. Even our dog Chewbacca loved going, sitting by our table waiting for tasty treats then walking the neighborhood. Sunday mornings won't be the same. read more

First time here and we brought our dog, I called ahead to confirm they're dog friendly. Easy to locate & small parking lot behind the restaurant. Walk up and order, food delivered to your table. We were given menus to view while waiting in line and after ordering we sat in the back patio. We loved our meals and will be back! FOOD: breakfast hamburger (fried egg, heaping serving of delicious sautéed onions & an embossed buttery burger bun) and LABT sandwich (the bread was fresh & soft, sandwich was loaded with sliced avocado and crispy bacon) and one order of garlic fries (definitely shareable and a must order). The back patio was shady and plenty of room for our dog, her water bowl and not infringing on other customers space. We'll be back! Lots of other great looking items on the menu to try. read more

COS & PI Brunch Restaurant We got : Salmon croissant Salmon Toast Hibiscus lemonade Matcha latte Buttermilk Waffle 10/10 for sure one of my fave new Pasadena spots for brunch, SALMON for breakfast is not easy to make that good, and this was on point.

Delicious food and gorgeous presentation !! The vibe is super chill, everyone was relaxed but I got my food and service on time ' even though I sat outside. I recommend outside !

I've hear a lot about these small cafe nestled in the Pasadena area that serves delicious brunch items. We had a nice little sampler to see what they're all about. We had the Hash brown Au Gratin, Wild Berry toast, avocado toast, Applewood bacon, and garlic fries. All were incredibly tasty and hit different flavor profiles. The standouts were the has browns and garlic fries. The hash brown was so good and the cheesy filling definitely provided a unique pairing with the potato dish. And garlic fries were nice and crispy and layered with garlic flavors. I would definitely come back if I was in the area! read more

Had this place saved on my list and finally got to try it today, and I think its safe to say that I'm glad I had it saved. We had the truffle fries, the salmon croissant and the breakfast burrito and all of it was phenomenal. The hot sauces they have in the restaurant is really good. I think they either make it in house or have a local manufacturer. Whatever the case may be, we ended up purchasing one of their sauces. There is private parking in the back along with some additional outdoor seating. The bathroom seems to be on the outside as well. Service was good, not really a lot of interaction though, since you buy your food at the front first before you sit. The one waitress that got me a to-go box was nice. Overall, I would definitely come back. I was in line to buy the hot sauces and I saw the waiter come out with this huge burger with bacon in it. I regretted not getting that. I guess there is always next time! read more

We have been eating at Cos&Pi since they opened. What can I say? They have solid bkfst/brunch and lunch offerings. The French toast is superb and my kids always get the breakfast burger which is messy but tasty. The lemon bars are incredible and we usually buy all of them to-go when we visit. The location is off the beaten track (literally by the metro line) with some seating in front, indoor seating and tented seating in the back parking lot. Parking is easy. We never feel rushed here and can have a good quality meal without the hassle of fighting for parking. Definitely put it in your brunch rotation! read more

Really good breakfast joint! They have outdoor seating on the street and out back but also a fairly modest indoor dining. You place your order and sit down, they bring it to you. The food was awesome: good assortment of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. We had scones, waffles, two eggs plate and the croissant sandwich. Everything was tasty and order came out fast. Love that they have their own hot sauce! And the sauce is indeed pretty hot with a nice citrus flavor to it. read more

I really liked their breakfast burrito and fries. It was a good portion and very delicious. We also got their breakfast plate and a big waffle with their berry compote to share. The waffle was the perfect sweet treat. One of my friends ordered the LABT sandwich but we later discovered there was tempeh instead of bacon. That was a bit disappointing, but the flavor was still good. We just wished it was bacon instead of the plant based protein. The staff was friendly and service was quick. We would want to come back next time to try their mimosas. read more

Best huevos in a long time! They felt fluffy as I was eating them. The husb and I agreed these were the best eggs we've ever had. The sausage was delicious as well. The hash browns had cheese in them, so I gave them to the husb. I'm also not a fan of bacon, so that went to the husb as well. I got the peanut butter and jelly toast it was tasty. I topped off my brunch with coffee which was delicious as well. The husb had orange juice, which he felt was fresh. It was busy, but not busy, in a comforting way. Employees were competent, doing their work as expected, they were friendly enough. They have two outside areas to eat, but since it was hot, we opted to eat inside. The restroom is in the back of the restaurant, but it's accessible to all. There's other food in the menu the husb and I want to try for sure. We will be back! read more

The reviews for this place are accurate. The food has been great every time I've eaten here, but admittedly I didn't come often because it was pricey by my standards. I don't know why, but they've recently dropped their prices by a lot (eg sandwiches that were previously $18 are now $12), and as far as I can tell, portion size is the same and everything still tastes great. It's much more affordable now. Service remains great. Definitely recommend, and planning to go back more often. read more

Had brunch here at Cos&Pi and it was great! Simple vibes inside with lots of space for us on a Saturday early afternoon. There were tables in the front and back as well if you wanted to enjoy some fresh air and shaded sunlight. We ordered the Cos&Pi Breakfast Croissant and Corn Sotto Tostada with a side of Hash Brown Au Gratin ALC. Both main dishes were delicious! Though we wished the portion size for the tostada was a little larger since it was so good. The Hash Brown Au Gratin ALC was yummy too but pretty small for the price. The service was good and fast. Lots of free street parking. Would definitely recommend for brunch! Can't wait to come back and try some other items on the menu! read more

Went one day last week to have a bite with a friend that moved away last year and was here for a visit. The food smelled great but I only had coffee. The lady that initially helped at the counter was pleasant but there was a younger girl that brought my friends food and her attitude was unpleasant. I don't need it. read more

Have tried this place on multiple occasions both dine in and take out and they do not miss!!! Solid portions, tasty food, matchas are delicious, garlic fries are perfectly garlicky!! My brother also had the corn soto which he raves about still to this day and he had it months ago. The avocado toast was massive, more fluffy than I like (would opt for a more toastier bread) but still delicious. The LABT was huge! Definitely would get that again. It's in a cute neighborhood not surrounded by a lot of other establishments so it gives it a cozy feel. They have seating in their main area inside, out front, and also a tent in the back with several tables. The service was good! The staff was helpful choosing options for breakfast! Would certainly return to bring others! read more

Came here with my mom for mother-daughter brunch date. Saw this on Yelp so decided to give this place a try. There is only street parking so don't park in the back parking lot as that's for other customers. Getting here was painful- on Google Maps it shows you need to turn right but turns out that's the wrong side and we ended up having to detour. Wait time was also a while since it's a really small location. We got the following items: 1. Matcha Latte: 7/10 Solid matcha latte, I appreciated how the menu shared what type of matcha powder they used. As someone that has tried Junbi matcha before I know it's quite delicious and it didn't disappoint. 2. Avocado Toast: 9/10 This was shockingly really good. I thought it was just going to be beautifully decorated and taste bad but this toast shocked me. Docked off a point because it's WAY too expensive but the flavors really came together. Definitely recommend trying it once, the seasoning and cheese really enhanced the flavor. 3. Smoked Salmon Croissant: 8/10 I surprisingly liked this too. Thought it was gonna be too salty because of the salmon but it was actually okay. The pickled onions tasted so good with the salmon and the eggs were the right texture. This made me full- a very hefty sandwich. The croissant wasn't too buttery too so I liked how it didn't overpower the sandwich Overall an amazing brunch spot and would recommend! Prices are just a bit steep and wait can be long. read more
