It was busy when my friend and I walked in during lunch. Seating is available inside and outside. The restaurant has modern decorations and the menu is on the board. We waited in line, someone took our order behind the display case of sweets and then we paid the cashier. I got the Ahi Tuna Salad and three macaroons. ::Food:: I got six big slices of Ahi Tuna, it was seared perfectly. The salad had red bell peppers, carrots, and spinach etc; it tasted fresh. It came with a peanut sauce dressing which was a little watery. (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=NO5e0WtLAOYcjheLU6OEVg) ::Desserts:: The macaroons are $1.89 each. I got the Sea Salt Caramel, Raspberry, and Pistachio. The filling was soft and sweet. My favorite would be the Sea Salt Caramel. The size of the macaroons is larger than normal. (http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XFHG2lj19Xj8pqO2fDCa5A&userid=NO5e0WtLAOYcjheLU6OEVg) ::M's Notes:: My friend said The Famous Egg Sandwich is very popular. read more

A palette to best Crayola http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/euro-pane-bakery-pasadena-3?select=nK0GdhgoQhCW1oxo_KGgfg#AErWlUX3GpCzxzziJvNcZg, but would these colorful, "Silver Dollar" sized macarons pique the palate? Ah, the proof is in the tasting. Being primary, I chose "red". Confection is light, as is the filling. Sweet, overwhelming sweet at first bite. I deemed it "red velvet" but since this was an office treat and the varieties unidentified, I later learned from perusing Euro Pane photos that my bite must have been raspberry, hm...didn't detect a hint of fruitiness. Colleagues praised the blueberry. I remain a fan of 'Lette's http://www.yelp.com/biz/lette-macarons-beverly-hills#hrid:JFbtX9laVfJhwTwg5if-qg! Three stars for the macarons. No doubt, Euro Pane's four-star status is reflective of other fine fare. read more

Europane - Office treats! "Silver Dollar" sized macarons, VERY sweet :-) - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

My friend and I came here for brunch last week, and it's an adorable little spot on Colorado across from Old Paseo. There are two locations. I prefer this one because it's bigger, brighter, and cleaner-looking. I tried the famous egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant, and my friend had the seared chicken sandwich. Both were delicious! The egg salad sandwich was so fresh, and the medium cooked eggs were definitely unique. The sweet currants with the sun dried tomato paste added a little extra punch. It's more filling than you'd think. My friend's seared chicken sandwich was also tasty and full of flavor. Sandwiches on weekdays are served starting from 11am, but pastries are available all morning. We really wanted some macarons too, but they ran out early. :( Next time! read more

No eggs-cuses! When you don't want to crack a yolk at home, stop by Europane for their signature open face egg salad sandwich. It's simple yet deliciously creamy and the perfect brunch dish. + Choice of Bread: sourdough, multigrain, olive, cranberry walnut, rosemary, ciabatta, baguette + Tomato Paste: tart and adds depth against the creaminess of the eggs - Spring Mix: some of the greens under looked a little wilted + Chopped Hardboiled Eggs (tossed with mayo): egg-cellent portion size - maybe 4 to 5 hardboiled eggs are heaped on top of crispy bread + Seasoning: lemon, salt & pepper, and chives All devoured and ready to have an egg-traordinary day! read more

Very welcoming and open atmosphere with tables outside and inside if you have time for a break to get some coffee, munch on a macaron and people watch. I love the storefront - very light with lots of tables and chairs to sit on as well as bread and pastries crammed into the display if you want to get a sandwich or simply buy bread. But I came here with the sole intention of buying a few of their giant macarons. I was volunteering a few blocks down so I decided to walk to Euro Pane and grab one macaron. But of course buying just one is so difficult when there are tons of flavors. And I haven't had a macaron this big before, so ... I took advantage of my visit and bought three. In all honestly, I bought them awhile back and the only flavor I remember is the salted caramel. I think the other flavors I tried were passion fruit and blackberry. Each one is $1.85 - a steal compared to Bottega's $2.50 for one that is way smaller than Euro Pane's. Surprisingly they were very tasty for such a gigantic macaron. The two cookies were soft and chewy (which is what I like) and the filling had the right amount of gooeyness that I like. Great caramel flavor that was not too sweet and not too salty. The passion fruit wasn't memorable, but I did like the blackberry - more of a sour taste compared to the salted macaron. Didn't get the sandwiches, but they do look tasty. Overall, I would come back to get more macarons, although I definitely prefer 'Lette over Euro Pane. read more

In the area and decided to grab lunch. Parked a block away at a meter. Placed my order at register and was told they would bring it to me. Clerks were Friendly. They have tables for 2 and a large communal table. Grabbed a seat at the communal table. Ordered the Open Faced Egg Salad on Multigrain. The Egg Salad is fresh, fluffy and plenty of eggs. BUT I DISLIKED the sun dried tomato spread combined with the Egg Salad; not pleasing to my taste buds. However, the Multigrain bread was toasted and fresh, too. So I basically ate the Egg Salad separate from the sun dried tomato Toast. Overall, service friendly and items are fresh. Would return to try other items. read more

I love their open face egg salad sandwich! Food 4/5 stars: I really should have ordered just a green salad, but I have wanted to try the egg salad sandwich for months. My Yelp friend, Mel D., and I met for lunch here today and we both ordered the same thing. The bread had currants in it and it was so good that I wish I would have bought a loaf to bring home. I may have a bias toward anything bread related though. The egg salad was great too. Large chunks of eggs and greens that were so fresh. I tried to eat this as slowly as possible to savor every last bite. That's how good it was. There are lots of photos of this sandwich that other Yelpers have taken, so I didn't take one to add to the collection. Euro Pane Bakery has an assortment of freshly baked bread and macarons. I am kicking myself right now for not purchasing some macarons or bread to bring home, but I probably would have just eaten them all since they are so good. The last time I was there I ordered one salted caramel macaron and a latte and that was great too. Service 4/5 stars: You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. All the utencils, seasonings and condiments are on the counter to the right of the front door. The young woman that took our order was cheerful and friendly. Decor 4/5 stars: It's nice. There is one big wood communal table that is lovely with some assorted smaller tables around the big table. There is a little patio as well. I think I took a photo a couple months ago, so I am going to look for that and post it. Parking 4/5 stars: I am not really sure if they have a lot on the north side of Colorado. I just usually park for free for 90 minutes at the Paseo across the street. There is a validation machine at the top of the escalator. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Europane - What happened? I hate to leave bad reviews but I just had the worse almond croissant I've ever bought anywhere. $14 for two pastries and a small coffee and I wish I'd just gone to a local donut store. The staff are always nice and doing their best but something has drastically changed with the baked goods. This croissant is small, dense and bread like (not flakey), it smells of old margarine and tastes like something Ralph's made three days ago. Truly sad because this was my favorite bakery in town for the last decade and used to have such high quality pastries. read more

Is it possible to give a place 5 stars just because of one dish? I rarely do this, but Euro Pane's signature egg salad sandwich is the kind of thing that breaks down long-held Yelpian traditions and robs me of my ability to describe what I ate with any thread of coherence. Just the mere memory of dat egg leaves me no choice but to copy/paste Steph C.'s reaction: "I ordered it on rosemary currant bread, and it was out of control. It was served open-faced, and with good reason - there was no way that mountain of egg could be contained between two pieces of bread. The egg salad was perfectly cooked, with large wedges of egg white cooked supple and not hard boiled. The yolks were creamy and rich, and the eggs were balanced by a bed of greens, a sprinkle of chives, and a bright, tart sun-dried tomato pesto. It was truly dreamy, and I want to eat it again." AMEN. We also got the seared ahi tuna salad and were delighted by the fresh crunchiness of the salad leaves. The fish wasn't the best, but just the sheer number of pieces more than made up for that fact. The order came with what I'm certain is a homemade dressing--creamy enough to complement the seared tuna and make raw veggies taste delicious. I got the overall impression that this is a family-owned business. The staff was polite and attentive despite the busy crowds and frenzy atmosphere that comes with running your own restaurant. I really, really like Euro Pane and am looking forward to future jaunts to Pasadena just so I can eat here again. read more

Europane - Best new thing I've eaten in recent memory: egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread! - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was actually a little disappointed. Everything was lovely when we walked in - the cafe space seemed comfortable, the workers were so welcoming and sweet, and the pastries in the window looked so good! But alas, their food most certainly needs improvement. I picked the almond chicken sandwich over their famous open faced egg sandwich per my cashier's preference/recommendation. The almond-crusted chicken was actually quite rubbery and unflavorful to the point that I got a little worried (but luckily no food poisoning today! \o/). The cranberry walnut bread I chose was also too dry for my taste. My friends had more traditional breakfast/brunch options - eggs benedict and french toast. I didn't get to try the eggs benedict but it looked delicious, though it was fairly little for a high price. The french toast was fantastic, complete with blueberry preserve and sweet mascarpone. IT WAS SO GOOOD. Definitely worth getting if you're feeling something sweet rather than savory. We also bought a few of their HUGE macarons! I tried the blackberry flavored one and though I didn't really taste much of the blackberry in it the macaron itself was still a treat! The shell's interior was wonderfully moist and chewy with filling that wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Excellent macarons. I just can't get over how large they are! I'll be getting my macarons here from now on fufufu~ Tl;dr the almond chicken is funky but the french toast is yummy and their macarons are GIGANTIC. read more

This was our second stop on our quest to find the best macarons. This place only had a small selection of macarons available that day. So we got one of each kind to sample. There macarons are on the larger side compared to other places. These measure about 2in wide. They are also pretty cheap for the size at about $1.85 each. Overall the macarons all had a very artificially light tasting flavor. The best had to be the salty caramel with its well balanced smooth sweet and savory profile with the super crispy yet moist/chewy cookie exterior. The least favorite was raspberry which taste almost like nestle strawberry milk instead when i took my first bite. =P The hunt continues on! read more

Europane was once my favorite bakery--especially the donut and cinnamon roll--unfortunately they are no longer a bakery. Instead, they outsource all of their baked goods, which look like you could have purchased them from Ralph's or Vons. read more

Great place to stop by to study/hangout over some desserts and coffee! I visited this place with my girlfriend and we came an hour before closing time so we didn't have a wide variety of selections for their pastries and desserts. We did end up sharing a chocolate macaron and their lemon pie/tart. I would definitely recommend the chocolate macaron. They did not skimp on the chocolate filling and it was pretty rich in flavor. The lemon pie was ok... The crust was a little thick and I was hoping for more lemon flavor with the filling. Parking is free on Sundays and the place was beautiful! Love the large wood table they have at the center. We took a few pics and it looked great on camera with the natural lighting coming from the large windows! read more

It was just the presentation of their baked goods was not that great so nothing really looked good or appetizing. read more

I've been going here a lot for a while now. Loved the food, loved the service, loved the breads. A whole lot has changed now since new ownership. -They now serve boba. I like boba, it's great, but it's another place in Pasadena trying to sell it. Trying. -Desserts - or lack thereof now. They don't make certain ones anymore, and those were the ones I got. -SERVICE. The service was exceptionally rude this morning when I went to go pick up breakfast. Called in and ordered a spinach quiche for pickup. Got there, it's not ready. Then was informed by the rude middle-aged woman at the register that they don't have spinach quiche and someone in the back misinformed me. OK, no biggie I'll order the frittata. When she went to charge me, it still said quiche on the monitor, like I'm blind and can't see that. And the quiche is a dollar something more than the frittata. I told her this is not what I'm ordering since you don't have quiche, and the quiche is more than the frittata. She said she can't fix it because the manager isn't here. Well, that's not my problem. And to think, she really wants me to pay more for something that I'm not even ordering. I know that a dollar something doesn't mean much, but it's customer service. If that's not what I'm ordering then I shouldn't be paying more for something I'm not even getting. Common sense. I told her, well can't you just start a new order? In my head.. DUH OF COURSE SHE CAN. If I wasn't there to pick up my order, how else would she ring up other customers. She would start new orders? I THINK SO. So I'm basically telling her how to do her job correctly. Not something I was expecting to do at 0730. She FINALLY gets the order correct. And then has the audacity to give me attitude and say "Is THIS price OK with you now?" Well no shit. I respond with "Well yeah, because this is WHAT I'M ORDERING." Hire new people. With customer service skills. Who know how to do their job. Or get the previous workers back. And bring back all the desserts from before. And the fresh baked breads that were sold there in the nice display case. Sumi should just come back and run this business again. read more

EGG Salad Sandwich. I come here for their Egg Salad Sandwich that literally has about 6-7 Eggs on it. The eggies on top of a bed of lettuce that's also on top of your choice of bread, will definitely satisfy your hunger.

Nice place for breakfast. I came by just a wee bit hangry with husband in tow. We got house coffees, the tortilla, and a bacon wrap. Don't let the name fool you, the tortilla is not a flimsy corn based transporter of fillings. When you're ordering this you get a massive cake wedge filled with potato, cheese, egg, bacon, and more cheese. It was mostly cheese. This was delicious and decadent. They know what they're doing by keeping it near the register because I saw several people point at it and order. Make sure to ask for it heated up. One serving is almost enough to share for two. The wrap was a little less filling and impressive. It's half a wrap with egg, cheese, and bacon with some salsa on the side. This is the kind of place to get fresh baked goods because everything looks fresh out of the oven. The layers on the croissant were glorious. The house coffee was pretty good and stayed hot for quite a long time. There's plenty of seating for groups. Water is self service in the corner. You order and grab a seat and staff bring your order once it's ready. They have many other breakfast/brunch offerings including sandwiches and pastries. I would recommend checking them out for all your breakfast needs in a sweet European bakery setting. read more

Friendly staff! I have a huge sweet tooth and ordered a mocha. It was amazing! Heaven in a cup. It was a large 20 Oz and was $6. I felt like the prices for their other drinks and food were fair and on par for this area of Pasadena. I will definitely go out of my way to come again! read more

I really wanted to love the "famous" open faced egg salad sandwich but it was probably the most expensive boring egg salad sando I can remember. Although beautifully presented, the egg salad had no flavor...it needed salt, pepper, dijon...something. The thin tomato spread could not save this disaster. The flavorless olive bread was a struggle to cut through with a fork and knife. For $10.50 it just wasn't worth it. The counter service was slow but friendly and about half the tables needed a wipe down. Sadly, not memorable...perhaps I should have ordered a pastry instead read more

I've been a big fan of their pastries for quite a while. There's a spot nearby that I go to that sources their baked goods from Europane, so it's all good on that end. This time, however, it was time to eat some "real" food. My best friend recommended it and said that they had the best egg salad sandwiches in the city. I put that claim to the test. I was not feeling like having bread but the Europane's egg salad sandwich is an open face, so there's only one piece of bread (of your choice) that acts as the bed. I picked the multi-grain, but will have to get the croissant option next time. They don't mess around with the egg. The salad mixture is nice and ample and it's got plenty of egg -- they do not skimp on the goods. The bread itself is smothered with what looked like a red tomato sauce of some kind. It really was one of the better egg salad sandwiches that I've ever had. I washed it down with a cup of their "house coffee," which was killer. read more

Whenever I'm in the San Gabriel Valley, Euro Pane is a must visit!! During my first visit, my brother, sister-in-law, and I bought some fresh bread. But on our visit, we just HAD to try the Egg Salad Sandwich. We also ordered the Beet Salad with Walnuts, which was very fresh and delicious. But the Egg Salad Sandwich stole the show! Just one bite melted my heart. There's a heaping of egg salad on top of a layer of sundried tomato spread on olive bread. So full of flavor! Hands down the best egg salad sandwich I've ever tried. :) Very clean, simple decor. Good for meeting friends and catching up over coffee/tea/pastries. Didn't have any space left in my tummy for the macarons, but I'll be sure to try some the next time I go! read more

Oh my goodness. This place use to be so good. So many memories here. But the food is so so bad. I spent $58 on two sandwiches and a salad that I threw in the trash. The BLT was so small hardly had any lettuce or bacon. They didn't even put it on the bread I ordered. The pesto sandwich was made with rubber chicken. Ever my dogs wouldn't eat it. By the time it came to the salad I didn't even want to try it. Such a waste of a great business. The macaroons that use to be to die for were small and discussing. I would rather eat McDonald's. And I hate McDonald's read more

Service is incredible...the employee/manager went heard me whining to my friend about not being able to eat the egg salad sandwich (gluten allergy ugh) and offered to put it on a bed of greens instead! Sooooo we got: Egg salad on greens: Egg salad sounds simple and easy to make...so how did they make it so darn delicious?!?! They must have put crack or SOMETHING in it to make it taste the way it does...it was amazing! Pistachio macaron: First of all, all their macarons are giant. The pistachio one was almost floral-lemony, but still retained the pistachio flavor. I prefer the heavier pistachio taste though, such as 'Lette's pistachio macaron. Salted caramel macaron: Wow! Sweet, but definitely got the creamy caramel, then BAM! Sea salt in YOH MOUTH! Could get a bit salty/overwhelming for some people, but personally, I liked it. Tuna melt: My friend actually got this. To be honest, it came out looking pretty wimpy, especially compared to my egg salad. There was a super thin layer of tuna, no "melt" to be found, and the only vegetable to be seen were the billions of relish littered throughout the scattered, dry tuna. It was literally dry on dry on dry. My poor friend had to share my egg salad :\ I do not recommend this dish... Also, do note that the prices are a bit on the heavier side. Overall, Euro Pane is delicious to me, but the prices are what will keep me from coming back more often. read more

Came here this past Sunday with my husband because of the macaroons that I heard so much about (thank you fellow yelpers). We arrived a little before 1 pm and there were only a few people ahead of us. I ordered 1 of each macaroon that was in the display ($1.85 a piece). This is what I bought: Pumpkin: (orange color) When I first took a bite of this, I couldn't really tell what this was. I knew the flavors were familiar, as I had described them to my husband. But couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. But I did taste the cinnamon and some kind of spices upon first bite. Later on, I saw that the flavor was most likely pumpkin since it was the only orange macaroon on the list (displayed right next to the macaroons). I really liked this macaroon because of the cream. The macaroon was a little chewy. My husband prefers a more chewy macaroon, I prefer it to be light and melt in your mouth like consistency (like Lette's on Fair Oaks) Coconut: (white color) My favorite of the macaroons I've tried so far. It had a really nice light coconut flavor, not too overpowering. Love the cream filling. Raspberry? (dull red color) I think this was raspberry... it was just plain and nothing too special about this particular macaroon. Salted Caramel: (light brown color) I really liked the filling inside, not really a fan of the salt on the macaroon though. Probably would just order this again and flick off the salt. (I have had salted caramel drinks and cookies before but just didn't like it in this macaroon). (I purchased other macaroons, but have not had the chance to taste the other flavors) Although the other bakery goodies looked quite tempting, while waiting in line, I decided not to order them. I am not a huge fan of pastries and so I don't know if I would want to buy any. But wouldn't mind a bite or 2 to sample. The pastries on display was quite large or even enormous really. I saw this English muffin near the cash register and I would have to say it's probably 6 times the size of a regular sized one. Anyways, customer service here was friendly (much friendlier than the other Euro Pane on Colorado). Also liked that you can get your own water here without having to ask an employee (cups and water dispenser are displayed towards one end of the eatery). This location is bigger than the other Euro Pane and also seems a bit cleaner as well since I saw employees cleaning and removing dishes quickly after people leaving. If I had to choose, I would probably want to come to this location more often, over the other one. Parking: You can park for free at the Paseo Mall and get it validated and then just walk across the street. Overall, would come back for the macaroons. read more

I've been coming here for the past five years and it just gets better and better. Came here a few days ago for a quick lunch stop and there was a few things they forgot, but if you just ask them nicely and let them know, they're really helpful. I appreciate that their food here is amazing and always made fresh, but they also really care about their customers. Just don't forget your canele and a macaron or four! :D read more

Very bad customer service. They don't have many of the items that they have on the board and you would know only when you get to the rude cashier. Even after ordering they came back to us to tell us they don't have the sandwiches we ordered after waiting over 20 minutes. Horrible experience. read more

Came here a couple times over the years. Their sandwiches are pretty consistent and their macarons are on the sweeter side. Great place to catch up with friends on the outdoor patio. There are a few tables on the inside. The establishment is open and clean. The servers are helpful and are willing to offer suggestions if you can't make up your mind. 4 places to park: -If you're lucky in the front but it's limited space (like 2-3 compact cars) and there is a paybox -Metered parking on the side streets -2 hr parking on the back residential streets if you're lucky -Across at Paseo Colorado What I usually order: Open-faced egg sandwich, berry tea, and whatever fresh cookie I see come out the back. read more

I always wanted to try this place out and today I finally got the chance. I looked at the pictures they had in yelp and saw their eggs Benedict look really appetizing and it was!!!

Excellent food and service every time! We visited several days in a row and enjoyed fresh, consistent food every time!

When we arrived it was already a bit late, so we decided on the Europane French Dip (9.25) and the Croque Monsieur. I typically like a good croque monsieur, and this one was with bechamel sauce and cheese, which sounded interesting. The bread for the sandwich was really delicious, but the texture of the cheese, bechamel sauce, and meat together wasn't that great, and the combination was too salty for me! The french dip was also a bit salty, but the baguette was really delicious! The meat was a bit dry without the dip, but the dip made the sandwich even saltier, so we had to do without. We concluded that the bread from Euro Pane is a must, but we might pass on their sandwiches. The cinnamon roll was also delicious, but not the best one that I've had. Too flaky and too little cinnamon! I would definitely go back for their bread, and maybe their salad, since lots of people dining there were having salads... read more

I've heard of this place, but only for their macaroons. However, a coworker recommended this place so I stopped by for some lunch. It's a small area, but the flow moves quickly because the food is prepared within minutes. The restaurant fits in with all the other Old Town restaurants, the food is very trendy. If it's your first time, you might think that the prices are a little high for sandwiches, but you'll learn that the portion is pretty large. Just a quick tip though, all the items are a la carte. Before eating here, I looked up good ole Yelp, one of the popular dishes is their "Famous Egg Salad" for $8.25. You have an option of olive or Rosemary bread. My favorite part of this sandwich is that the egg is cooked just perfectly, the yolk was still a little runny. I like egg salad, but it was a little too much for me. Half way through, I was getting a little tired of it. For the part that I enjoyed it, it was amazing...it was a refreshing sandwich. The next time I come here, in going to try the Almond Chicken or the Seared Chicken. They have a bunch of other pastries here, including big loaves of bread!! The macaroons are $1.85 but they are much larger than other places. I didn't get a chance to try this, but maybe I will try this during my next trip out here. I'll also make sure to try their chocolate cookie!! It looked very moist and rich! I did try their cinnamon twist. It was good, very doughy and flavorful...but maybe if they had toasted it, it would have tasted better. You can dine at the restaurant, but there's no waiter. You walk up to the counter to choose a delicious sandwich, salad, etc from their menu. You pay the cashier and take a seat. They will bring out your dishes to you. The people working behind the counter are very nice! They're always happy and interact with customers. Overall, I liked the place. The dining area is very well lit, the food is delicious, and service is awesome, I recommend giving this place a shot if you're in the area and want a quick bit for lunch. read more

Stopped here for a quick breakfast. It was pretty packed a seating was fairly limited - indoor and outdoor seating. Ordered the french toast which is only available on weekends, and a vanilla latte. Prices pretty reasonable. The vanilla latte was delicious, the french toast was only okay - I've had much better. The toast was kind of hard, not that flavorful, and drenched in blueberry compote which was interesting and not my preferred choice. Not sure if I'll be back, but it was fine for my breakfast needs that day. read more

I was a fan of the original Europane. A big fan. But since it was sold, it hasn't been the same. It's been years since I've been, but my husband and I were craving croissants. We stopped in at around 7 a.m. This is the new location, since the original location closed down. We ordered two butter croissants, and to my surprise the cashier took the two that were in the display. We got to the car and took a bite -- cold, old, dense, almost soggy. Awful. My husband went back and asked how old they were. The cashier didn't know. She explained that she just got it from the back and put them on the display. There were no others available. No apologies, no refund, or offer to replace the pastry. There were no bakers there. Everything being sold was old. We ended up going to Urth across the street and had a fresh, flakey, buttery, croissant. I don't think I'll go back to Europane ever again. There's no sense of ownership anymore. I'll hold on to the memories of the original, which had, among other things, the best butter croissants in the area. "Had" is the key word. read more
