This is a very cute little retro Café/Bakery/Corner Store. They have delicious coffee, I tried the lavender latte, and it was really tasty. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious, so are their fresh salads. They also offer soups, quiche, coffee cakes, and various other baked items that are made in- house. The ones that I have tried so far are all delicious. When you enter this establishment, it looks like a little retro store with candy, kitchen items, and other little knickknacks. To order your food, you go to the counter. There Is some seating inside and they also have several wooden little tables outside with chairs and umbrellas. Sitting there, you have a nice view of the mountains and the little park that's right across the street. I really enjoyed my visit here. The staff is super friendly and I cannot wait to come back and try some other items on their menu. I would definitely recommend this place, but please beware that their kitchen closes at 2:30pm and the Café itself closes at 3pm. Beautiful little neighborhood gem! read more

Wonderful locally owned cafe, great insight and outside seating. Beats any Starbucks.

Dropped by and got a few trinkets from this place today, they sell food, stickers, toys, odds and ends! Love their cards as well. I don't get a chance to eat here but I've been told their sandwiches and cookies are to die for! The workers were very friendly and helpful, I can't wait to come and eat on their patio soon! Love the old times feel inside, very reminiscent of an old diner. read more

Ginger Corner Market - Beautiful carrot birthday cake made just for me - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

I met a friend for coffee and LOVED this place. I had passed by multiple times and thought it was just a litle community corner market, but it was much more. Great pastries, sandwiches. Great hot/cold drinks. This is truly a community neighborhood family run business. Service is great and hey have amazingly good food. Little cafe tables and chairs outside, but they are right across from the park, so you could hope over and enjoy time there. read more

Met Fellow Yelper Jessica :))))) at Ginger Corner Market. What a fun day! She recommended this place. Walkable distance from the Lake Shops Parking Lot. It is a nice neighborhood coffee and bites cafe that doubles as a trinket/beverage shop. Service was friendly and there was a lunch rush after we placed our order and sat down. There is self service water and also Squirrel Air Fresheners! Ordered the BLT Sandwich 5/5. The sweet Bacon was delicious and sandwich was large. Took half to go. Ate it the next day and the sandwich was still fresh. Chocolate chip cookie 4/5. Great place to sit down and catch up. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place. It's nestled into a quiet little neighborhood in Pasadena and it's like something out of a movie. Very cute and rustic, very much homemade and handmade. It's got plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and it's right across the street from a park. People come in and out of the shop all greeting the people behind the counter by name. It smells absolutely incredible in the little cafe, smells like bread and coffee and barbecue. The prices are pretty low, considering the area. They carry a lot of organic products, all food is made in store, lots of little artisanal things to shop for. But the food! We ordered the beet salad and the ham and Brie sandwich and both were just so so good. Shared the two between me and my partner and we both felt full after. All the flavor pairings were perfect and complimented each other, ham and Brie sandwich was tangy because of the cheese but had a layer of fig jam spread on and it was heaven. Everything tasted fresh. All baked goods are baked in store and they look it. Would definitely come back and I'd like to try everything! Recommend highly. read more

Really cute, tasty, and quaint place!! Family owned and they are very friendly. My second time coming here and this time we biked (there is street parking and some poles around you can chain your bike to. But there isn't really bike parking like it says). It's so hard to choose which pastry to eat cause there is a WEALTH of delicious baked goods staring back at you begging you to choose it!! We went with the lemon bar and it was delicious! Had great crust and a lot of custard. I also wandered around their store section and found the funniest and cutest squirrel air freshener! They have some cute cards and unique items there (like army soldier toys doing diff poses). There is plenty of seating inside and even seating outside. The decorations are so cute! We tried the watermelon lemonade and it was kinda bland. My husband tried the orange blossom tea on his last visit and said it was also bland. So their strong suit aren't the drinks but the food and pastries are amazing!! We got the crispy chicken sandwich and the flavor was SO GOOD!! The bread was soft and buttery leaving your mouth watering!! The chia pudding was kinda dry but had a good texture to it. They give plenty of granola inside so that was nice. Overall, I highly recommend coming here for a visit!! It is right across from a park as well. It's a very peaceful place. read more

Stopped here on the way home from PCC and really enjoyed it. Super cool store with PINEAPPLE TURNOVERS. They were delicious. In total I got two pineapple turnovers, an iced coffee and two bags of tajin candy for about $15. Not bad! read more

This place has so many good vibes. I know I'm guilty of spending too much of my money in soulless chain restaurants, I wish I spent more time in businesses like Ginger instead. The staff seemed genuinely happy to be working here! My sandwich was delicious, as was the orange spice ice tea. They also sell party supplies, which I probably won't buy but are fun to look at while you enjoy your lunch. I'll be back. read more

I was in the area for work and a coworker actually recommended this place to me! It seems to be one of those trusty college delis that suddenly appeared one day and permanently becomes student lore. Inside, I found a quant mini-market stocked with a bunch of snacks, drinks, and the counter for ordering. The worker (i forgot his name!) helped us immediately, and I ordered the pastrami. I sat outside, where there were plenty of tables with shade! The worker brought out the sandwich to us, and I thought it was huge! The price seemed a bit high for ne, but that wasn't too big of a concern since the sandwich was jam packed with meat and kraut. The flavor wasn't too salty for me, and had the right amount of flavor with the bread. This was a great spot, and I'll have to stop by again. read more

Love this neighborhood gem that is right across from Grant Park. Especially love their soups and homemade iced teas and lemonades. Also has well-curated products, cute cards and kids' small toys. read more

Friendly, clean and fresh food and pastries. Every time I take my kids to Pasadena to the park across we stop here.

Ginger Corner Market is a quaint little market with freshly made salads, sandwiches, and pastries. It's a small operation but you can tell they put alot of care and attention to detail into their food. The dessert display is what really drew me in, and the desserts I tried so far were both pretty great. Their lemon bread pudding was so unique, I've never tried anything like it. I also enjoyed my PB&J bar, which was basically a peanut butter cookie base layered with jam and cookie crumble. They also have a fun little gift shop table as well as a refrigerated beverage aisle, like a true little corner mini mart. And of course, service was superb. I observed the owner interacting with the customer ahead of me who seemed to be a regular, and the way they were talking reminded me of those small town stores where everyone knows everyone; it really gave me a cozy homey feeling. Anyways, Ginger Corner Market is an adorable little store and I'm excited to go back and try more of their actual menu as well as their other pastries. read more

Still love this place many years later. Just one of the most authentic little places around.

Love Ginger, true neighborhood feel, food is always good and service is genuine. Nice market with the deli, been going since the kids were little and it's the the same good food, good ingredients, good ambiance, and good people. We like sitting outside or across the street at the park if there is no seating. A real sense of community there and always good to come back! read more

This is a hidden gem. When I found this place, I've come here for lunch almost everyday when I'm In the office. They have good options for both lunch and breakfast. I see a lot of people from Caltech here. Everything on the menu is very good, and it looks like the business is locally run. If you cannot stand the lines and wait time for the places on Lake Ave, this place is a great alternative. Their sandwiches are huge and grilled so you it's like two meals. read more

Friendly neighborhood market with fresh salads, sandwiches, and baked goods. The menu has a steady rotation of specials that always please... we love the chicken salad and meatloaf sandwich! The staff have a kind touch. Great vibes, and lucky to have them so close by. Also worth mentioning: they occasionally serve BBQ on the weekends. Check out Brian's instagram for a heads up.

Wow! This place is such a cute gem. I love that it's off the busy streets of Pasadena. There's plenty of parking and it's located right across the street from a park. It has a quant small town deli vibe that's so unique to this area. The ladies working in there are very friendly. I ordered a turkey sandwich with was great, I had thin sliced green apple layered inside which I've never seen anywhere and worked so well! Apricot lemonade-- delicious! I'll definitely be coming back for another lunch read more

Love supporting this local business: I come for the creative baked goods and always leave with another goodie - tuna sandwich on sourdough; dirty chips; sparkling water; hot tea, flavorful lemonades. The baked goods are prepared on site and are out of the box delicious, you tell yourself just one bite and the next thing you realize is your fork is clean and the baked good is gone! This time I indulged in the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake, took several bites over the day but it was gratefully devoured. The staff are always welcoming. read more

Sandwiches are the best. We've eaten here a number of times and never have be disappointed!!

I've had a chance to take this morning off to spoil myself a little & decided to try Gingers Market in Pasadena. Very cool neighborhood-- right by Grant Park. Just a walking distance from Cal Tech . I went in for a quick cherry lemonade . The lemonade was delicious ! Never have tasted anything so yummy like it ! The chocolate chip cookie was grand and moist , not too overly sweet and tasted just right. Quality pastry and the price was amazing! ! 5 stars !! Will be back soon to try soups and other desserts and sandwiches ! Everything looks & feels home made and super dedicated with lots of love ! read more

I've been here a few times and what has brought me to yelp tonight is their chocolate bread pudding. Delicious - I don't say this lightly! I don't typically enjoy bread pudding but this has rocked my world. Thank you. read more

Stopped by this cute market/cafe today and enjoyed a delicious 1/2 caprese sandwich with a 1/2 arugula pesto white bean salad. Others in the group ordered a turkey w/apple sandwich, roasted mushroom grilled cheese & tuna sandwich - all with rave reviews. The fresh baked cookies (chocolate chip & raisin cranberry) were delish as well. I also recommend the lavender rose iced latte; so good! The staff was very friendly and also told us about their Sunday BBQ - will definitely come back for that. The market is in a cute walkable neighborhood, across from Grant Park. read more

This is my true happy place. Liz (the owner and manager) is the closest thing you're gonna find to one of those charming bohemian-like café owners you see in movies. The food is absolutely incredible! I mean, absolutely incredible! It is, in my opinion, the greatest running "mom and pop" shop in all of LA. If you've ever seen the show, Gilmore Girls, this is like walking through Stars Hollow, every visit. Not to mention the employees who work there, are passionate, caring, kind, and personal. They are like an extension of my own family. The ambience is a call back to old retrofitted cafés and trinket shops. I truly can't say enough good things about Ginger Corner Market. Everyone deserves a chance to escape to a happy place like this. You'll never find a more charming place to eat, or buy gifts for friends. And they will absolutely make you anything off menu. But you'll never be able to resist. They're baked deserts... utterly decadent and mouthwatering. Check out Ginger Corner Market and you'll fall in love yourself! read more

Sweet corner market. Simple good food and beverages. Enjoy stopping in for a local lunch spot. Service is what a community based market should be, real and down to earth. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Pasadena. This place will never disappoint. Everything they make is fresh and made to order. It's a small little corner market as the name implies right across the street from a quaint little park. If your heart so desires you can get your food and eat it in the park. They make everything from salad to sandwiches and even baked goods. They have coffee and teas as well. I've never gotten anything there that I didn't like. It's a small operation and they only have 2 or 3 people max working there. They take their time making your order and it shows, the food not only tastes amazing but it's presented well. They are open limited hours so get your lunch or breakfast fix on before 3. I wish i could give this place 10 stars because it deserves every single one. read more

This place is awesome. The BLT was off the Chain good. My wife had the Chicken Sandwich and she said it was great.

Wanted to like this place, but they played me and took my money so this review is a cautionary tale for others. The GF and I have walked past the place a few times and were curious about trying it out. During covid times they are open only 10-2. Their menu is on their website. We called in an order for a roast beef sandwich, ham and Brie sandwich, and two cups of the soup of the day (turned out to be a veggie tomato soup). The sandwiches were $10 each. Please note that the price of the soup is NOT LISTED nor was it relayed to us over the phone. Should have been a red flag that something fishy was going on. We find out on checkout that the soups are $8 each. EIGHT DOLLARS for a cup of veggie soup. Maybe if it was the best soup I'd ever tasted, but it was on par with the veg soup you'd get at any Hong Kong cafe (which comes FREE with your meal btw). It's most redeeming feature was that it was hot. Sandwiches were mediocre - small and pretty skimpy on content. Service was poor as well. They initially forgot that we had ordered soups, and in retrospect I wish I hadn't either. All in all, we paid over $40 for food that was worth less than half that. Well played - today you win and take my money but we will never be back again. TL DR - blatant rip-off, mediocre food, shady misleading pricing. Save your money and go anywhere else. read more
