    We were at the park across the street and wanted a snack so came to check this store out. We tried a blueberry scone. It was delicious! - perfect texture. They have some indoor seating. Staff was very nice.

    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.

    I love Liz ,this beautiful owner who goes above and beyond to make all the delicious sandwiches and desserts from scratch ! This is a very cute and special local diner near by the Cal tech / PCC district in Pasadena . They offer all types of special tea selections you can hand picked yourself . I really liked the home made cookies , apple pies and most delicious varieties of sandwiches I've ever tasted . They do take customized orders for birthday cakes and other of their specialty items on the menu ! Everything are home made and give you that home made TLC from their kitchen ! I love this easy going vibe this comer has to offer ! Services is fast , friendly and efficient ! Five stars all the way !they treat their customers like family and it is genuinely a very special feeling dining with them

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What a charming and quaint coffee shop this Republic Coffee is. With indoor and patio seating... so…read morelovely. Both inside and outside were super clean along with their restrooms. The minute I walked in, the aroma of the coffee and baked goods just organically welcomed me IN! Walked in this morning at 10:15AM, and was greeted by Stephanie. All the people behind the counter were genuinely super nice and friendly, and I am going to leave it at that. Some places can be pretentious and I don't like that. I didn't get that vibe here. Loved it. They have many different options of baked goods, hot and cold beverages, salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and more.They also serve wine. Very unique and interesting. Some coffee shops do serve wine. Love wine, but not in the mornings/afternoons:-)). So, she took my order and got everything right. I ordered an Avocado Toast, 2 Blueberry Muffins, and for my drink, got an Ube Latte. Everything tasted above and beyond fresh and delicious. My Ube Latte was made to PERFECTION! Don't know much about their parking situation, but I found street parking right in the front. They also do delivery, and 3rd party orders. My first time, but definitely not the last. Was so pleased with their hospitality. If I didn't happen to be in the area, I probably would have missed this beautiful gem. Glad I saw it and walked in. They have some nice decor inside but I decided to sit on their lovely patio. Thank you everyone, and keep up the good work!

    This review is solely about the coffee. I can't speak to the food…read more Before getting to the coffee, I have to say the ambience is just overwhelming and not relaxing--to me! I love minimalist spaces, and this is the exact opposite. This is probably just my own OCD personality that misses Steve Jobs and his black turtlenecks. The staff, however, is very nice! Okay, now the coffee, which is what my rating is based on. The latte was a small step up from Starbucks and had an odd taste that I couldn't quite place. My wife couldn't finish hers. The drip coffee was barely above lukewarm and just didn't taste good. Again, it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was wrong with it, but it didn't taste particularly fresh. I noticed the bag of beans on the counter was roasted on 6/30 and marked down on clearance. Anyway, it's probably a perfectly fine place if you're not obsessed with excellent black coffee or high-quality espresso drinks. The space is large, there's lots of outdoor seating, and the staff is nice. I just wish I'd known going in that the coffee wasn't very good, so I'm writing this review for the other people out there who are equally insufferable about their coffee.
