    Absolutely delicious and delightful! Everything from the nice customer service, to the ambiance it's just *chefs kiss* I've tried everything from the pastries, to the sandwich of the day, soup, and the wines at la cave! I feel truly blessed to live in a time where we have somewhere like ID-Eclair only minutes away.

    Spinach quiche and side salad
    Patricia G.

    While I'm not vegan, my boss is and she had a few things delivered while in town. After trying a couple of tasty items from here, I had to come check the place out for myself! Today was my second time here and definitely not my last. I'd been thinking about their spinach quiche all morning and just had to get one today. Aside from the spinach quiche, I also got the apple tart, an iced latte and a cinnamon cruffin (which was a recommendation from staff). Inside the place is super cute, with all the treats and goodies laid out for choosing, and the seating is super inviting and comfortable. Parking is either metered street if you're lucky or there's a paid lot around the corner on De Lacey. Definitely one of my favorite spots for a bite and a treat! The staff here are very helpful and friendly, and they give great recommendations. There's seating indoors as well as outdoor patio seating. Highly recommend coming in to see all their goodies. It's a little pricey but so worth it. Everything I've had here is phenomena!

    Pistachio Eclair and some tea!

    This place is pretty great. We've been meaning to try this for a while, and finally, during our spring break staycation, we managed to make our way over. We got a turkey sandwich, their mushroom soup, a quiche, and an eclair (of course - pistachio), and a pot of tea (blue montagne - a black tea with some berry flavors). Everything was really delicious, and it makes me think about how far vegan cuisine has come in the last, even 10 years. Many of their stuff is gluten-free as well. The only thing that I'll say was kind of sad - we got a loaf of beet bread to go, put it in the fridge as soon as we got home, and the next day, it got moldy. I brought it back and exchanged it for one of their charcoal loaves. I think they are under the same ownership or something as the wine bar next door, since they share a space. The space out front is pretty spacious, but there are only 3 tables, so maybe there is another room when it gets crowded? I didn't really explore the space this time.

    I had to try this place multiple times in the past two weeks! Backstory years ago I came across these bakers at the farmers market, they have vegan macaroons and my kid is all about the French macaroons! I knew they had opened a brick and mortar in Pasadena a while ago and it just took me until recently to finally make it there. Don't judge me I was trying to spare my wallet and waistline! Anyways none are being spared from the pure delectable excellence at this point! Before I go on I get to acknowledge that yeast breads and sugar can mess me up, sick, bloat, etc. TMI? I dgaf! Because I don't have the extreme reactions here that I usually get elsewhere. Actually a majority of the sweets from the eclairs to the cinnamon twists are reasonably sweetened! There's no compensating sugar for bad ingredients. Every flavor stands out and participates together like the instruments of a symphony. Delightful! The only one I cannot handle so far are the French macaroons which according to my kid are exactly to their liking. So far I've had the cinnamon twist, blueberry bar, chef special cream filled cherry cruffin, and the chef's special quiche which looked so legit I had to ask if it's really vegan!!! What magic is this!?! Because for the price it's insane! Other places would charge double to offer this and I would pay it! Now the drinks...on the pricier side? Yes. Is it worth it HECK YES because I did my drink order again! Dirty Matcha with almond milk (match latte with shot of espresso)' Don't judge me I need the caffeine ride without the crash. Normally this drink tastes like mud everywhere else but here it's a smooth caffeinated perfection. I don't need to bust out the stevia, it's perfect as is!!! This is the first and only time the pairing is balanced and smooth. Needless to say this is my top pick for vegan bakeries and coffee/tea places! I can wait to fully enjoy the ambiance with a decadent crystalline flare of luxury in a quant cafe Bonus: they have pastry classes, afternoon tea, it's a wine bar by night, and there's so much more to know about the artistry and offerings it's well worth the visit!

    Walking in I was greeted in French and the staff was super friendly and patient as I took my time looking through all the shelves of pastries they had. The interior is super pretty and they had a gorgeous neon sign. Also love the bread shelf they had. If I didn't just buy bread before this I would've wanted to buy all of it. Now as for the pastries I got, I tried their fruit tart, macarons, and the chef special strawberry croissant cube. Everything is so delicious and not too sweet. I like how fresh all the fruits are. The macarons were perfect and crisp. They didn't taste soggy at all. I also really like the custard in the fruit tart. It fell apart pretty easily but they have the little tray for you so it was okay. I really like everything and need to try their eclairs out next.

    What an amazing french bakery! I loved everything here and wish I lived closer so l could try it all. I came two days in a row and tried so many wonderful items. The egg sandwich was the perfect brunch bite. The pastries were fresh and delightful. The cold brew was heavenly. I haven't had tiramisu in a long time but their tiramisu was paradise in a cup. It was so good it was hard to believe it was vegan. The decor and seating are cute and the staff warm and friendly. If you're in the area, this is a must visit!

    Strawberry Tart
    Gabrielle G.

    I'm so excited to come here again, so many beautiful looking pastries and treats I want to try. The "Egg" Sandwich and fresh pressed orange juice is what I ordered in and I got the strawberry tart to go! The sandwich was really good and I loved that it came with a side salad.

    Mushroom tart
    Sharona M.

    So happy to have found this amazing vegan bakery! It is truly a wonder when you go in. I found it very try difficult to choose because everything looked so wonderful! The staff was very helpful and we ended up choosing a savory mushroom tart, spinach quiche and a piece of focaccia. The quiche was amazing and made with their in house egg substitute! The mushroom tart was also incredible with perfectly laminated dough and texture! The focaccia was not good. The dough recipe needs to be perfected because it was heavy, dense and under cooked. This is a super easy fix. I hope they will look into that. The inside is super cute and shares a space with a wine bar next door so you can eat inside or outside. The outside area is nice and covered but it's on the street and has VErY uncomfortable chairs. The kind that dig into your legs. They use super cute mismatched plates and tea cups which add to the whimsy. Overall amazing place! Definitely recommend!

    ID-eclair is awesome and they're as good as any of the trending bakeries in Pasadena, but without the long lines. They are tucked away on Green Street on the corner of Pasadena Ave. Check them out next time you're in Old Town.

    Pistachio Eclair
    Rachel S.

    How lucky am I to live in a timeline with ID-Eclair? I've enjoyed their desserts at vegan street market pop ups and decided that Valentine's Day was the perfect time to stop in their brick and mortar for some treats. It's a sweet set up, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's a massive pastry window to entice you as you wait ~ if there's a line, there definitely was for Valentine's Day ~ with grab-and-go gift and drink options on the side (truffles, chocolates, jams, housemade butter). Everything looked so good when we arrived that we decided to get savory food and treats. Grilled Cheese: I can't resist a grilled cheese. Three layers of flavorful vegan/ plant based cheeses gooey between two gorgeous pieces of charcoal loaf bread, and a side of delicious fresh arugula salad. This was exactly what you'd want from a grilled cheese but the most elevated version, at a super fair price. I'll be dreaming about this. I just wish they had a consistent tomato soup on because I can't resist a dip! Egg Sandwich (daily special): crispy bread loaded with housemade tofu (I believe) egg scramble, mixed greens, tomatoes, and delicious sauce. Side salad on the side. Love how many greens and protein is in this. Extremely elevated. Bread is buttery goodness. Pistachio Eclair: yes please. I could drink the filling. All you'd ever want from a pistachio pastry. Almond Croissant: crispy, buttery, nutty goodness. Highly recommend. Chef Special "Love" Eclair: delicious berry goodness. Fresh and sweet and satisfying, sandwiched between an exquisite macaroon Cortadito: like a flat white, DELICIOUS! The coffee is strong and though I drink fast, it seemed to last forever. Creamy, strong coffee punch flavor. The staff works so hard, I'm in awe of the pace they keep up and the quality of ingredients, flavors, and service. There's plenty of seating for a constantly rotating customer base and the street side chairs and tables and open door make it feel like a warm and inviting patisserie. This is great for a pre-order, pickup, delivery, friends-gathering, date, treat run, or simply a coffee pickup in the morning. I love it and can't wait to go back.

    Clever name. Regrettably, I Declare this is not the best eclair I've ever had. Maybe it's because I came near closing (4pm), the pistachio and chocolate eclairs were dry and not fresh at all, so disappointing (also the pistacho tastes more minty than pistchio.) Will probably go back one early morning to try their drinks and other pastries.

    4/5: fully vegan bakery? Say less! ID Eclair is simply the vegan bakery all the plant based foodies out in LA have been waiting for. They have a spread of savory items, decadent desserts, soups, sandwiches, teas, and coffees. For our birthdays, my also plant based bestie and I celebrated with a full spread of baked goods. We got their soup, grilled cheese sandwich, teas, and sweets (see pictures below), and all together our total came up to ~$90 post tax and tip for the both of us. Service was rather quick for all that we ordered. My favorite item was probably their tarts, but I definitely would not order the grilled cheese again. This would definitely have been a five star review, but possibly because we had all these in one go, it felt a little too greasy and heavy on the stomach. Still, I'm certain that non plant based eaters would find ID Eclair's food tasty as well, and if they didn't know, I'd suspect that many wouldn't have guessed that everything was vegan. Overall, I'd happily stop by again to pick up some delicious baked goods when I'm feeling a hankering for sweets or savory breads! Everything else: Parking in Old Town Pasadena can be rather difficult so plan accordingly. The store is kept well lit, clean, and decorated with modern aesthetics. It's a nice space but fills up quickly. There's also a bar in the back with additional seating.

    Quiche, Tomato Salad, & Focaccia - All AMAZING!
    Adrianna A.

    Updating my review to include some non-dessert items.. EVERYTHING I have had here has been well made and absolutely delicious. My brother, who is not a fan of tomatoes kept picking at my Tomato salad because it is that good! The Focaccia was so flavorful and tender - baked to perfection. This was also the first time I dined in-restaurant (patio) and the service was fast and friendly and helpful! If you're in Pasadena, this is a MUST visit!

I drove all the way from Long Beach to visit my discount hobby mechanic Bobby; and yes it was worth the one hour drive. One because I had an amazing ice cream and two; I by passed a tune up at Fletcher Jones Toyota of Carson who for some reason didn't honor the previous warranty, because "Fletcher-Jones is now the new owner of the Carson location." In a sense, I am thankful for the grifting, because it lead me here. If you're indecisive Kinrose Creamery does offer samples. I ended up ordering two scoops of Saffron Pistachio Rose, & Orange Flower Pistachio. I definitely savored this unique frozen dessert in this unforgivable heat. Loved my choices and I will be coming back through the summer. The customer service is excellent, the establishment is very clean, & nicely decorated as well. It appears they have local art on the walls, and it's also well air conditioned. Additional information: parking is a bit of a hassle in this area. I ended up paying for a one day parking pass, which is ten bucks and having to walk about two blocks. I did not mind the short stroll but do recommend to look up neighboring businesses to get the best out of the one day pass.

    A Little Cheat Night Never Hurt Nobody!…read more After eating the juiciest chicken ever at Loli Farms, I've been eyeing this dessert spot for a while, and luckily it was only 1.6 miles away. So obviously... dessert was happening. Perfect excuse for a little cheat-night treat! Parking Hack: Don't pay $5 for parking! We parked about 7 minutes away in a parking structure for only $1 for 2 hours. After all the delicious food I inhaled, I definitely didn't mind getting a little extra cardio in. Pasadena parking is definitely doing the most, so parking structure it was! Mango Melon Shaved Ice -- $8.50 | 7.8/10 Mango-flavored shaved ice topped with melon balls and served with a side of milk drizzle. The shaved ice itself was SO soft and fluffy, and the milk drizzle gave it just the right amount of sweetness. The only thing was... I really couldn't taste much mango in the shaved ice. It was pretty subtle, so I wouldn't say this one completely blew me away, but it was still a refreshing treat on a hot summer night. Definitely not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst! Injeolmi Shaved Ice -- $7.50 | 7.7/10 Milk-flavored shaved ice topped with mochi, layers of Injeolmi powder, and more milk drizzle. This was actually our first time trying Injeolmi, so we were curious! The combination of the soft shaved ice, milk drizzle, and nutty Injeolmi powder was really good and made for a fun flavor combination. My only complaint? THE MOCHI. They were soooo tiny! I wanted that satisfying chewy squish, but these little guys basically tasted like mini boba that disappeared the second I bit into them. The shaved ice itself was perfectly soft and honestly the star of both desserts. Inside, there aren't a ton of tables, but luckily we snagged one right when we walked in. And let me tell you... this place had a constant flow of customers the entire hour we were there! People were coming in and out left and right, with only one ordering machine, so expect a little patience if it gets busy. Overall, both shaved ices were pretty decent and made for the perfect little "I already ate too much but I'm still getting dessert" moment. Definitely a nice way to break the diet after our chicken feast! Would I come back? Absolutely, especially to try some of their other shaved ice flavors. Happy desserts!

    I've been wanting to try this place, and I'm so glad I finally did!…read more I ordered the Egg Heaven and the Iced Honeycomb Latte. The Egg Heaven was honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The flavors were light but still incredibly satisfying. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the egg salad was seasoned so well that every bite was delicious. It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly. Since it was my first visit, she gave us great recommendations and helpful feedback on what to order, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Love the packaging that it comes in!!!! The musubiyaki was served hot, and was very fulfilling indeed! Their chiffon cakes are worth a try as well!!!! The mangomisu, a seasonal item, was great!!!! Big pieces of mango, light mascarpone filling, and spongy cake made this dessert so worthwhile! I also got the sunny side up and strawberry shortcake!!!! I really wanted to try all so for sure I will be back. Next time, I'm passing on the matcha drinks. Tried the matcha latte with mango and the banana matcha, both of which I found to be lackluster.

    Came here for the souffle pancakes and they didn't disappoint!…read more My party of 3 stopped by Saturday afternoon 2:30 pm and it wasn't crowded. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get. I'd love to come back to try their other desserts and pancakes!

    This cafe has potential but at the moment it is not quite living up to the hype. The cafe, one of…read morethree in the area, is mostly kitchen & counter with a small bar counter with six stools facing the window & a handful of tables inside. It is not really cute or aesthetic in any way... and the whole place could use a refresh. There is a covered patio with a few tables outside but at the moment it is a bit haphazard and not the nicest because the space next door is doing construction & there is a large dumpster on Green Street. We ordered Black tea & Floral Pineapple Blossom tea drinks, Peach Crepe Cake and a Peach Souffle Pancake ($17.50) via the kiosk. When you order, you receive a text that lets you know your order number, has a receipt, and also an expected time of delivery. The drinks were ready about 15 minutes. They were both fine, and prepared correctly. The peach crepe cake was brought out a few minutes later. My mom enjoyed it and it looked very pretty. Then the time that the entire order was supposed to be ready came and went. I checked in with Nick at the counter and he said that my souffle pancake would be ready in 5 minutes. About 7 minutes later, when my mom was done with her cake. Nick brought it over and set it down in next to me. It was jiggly, huge, and very wobbly. I slid it over so it was in front of me, and the top pancake fell off of the stack, and flipped over so the whipped cream side was on the counter. I tried to flip it back over and put it on top of the stack, but it fell apart. At this point, I was so frustrated with the situation and grossed out by the possibility of eating whipped cream and pancake that had been on the counter, that I asked Nick to remedy the situation. He offered to make a new pancake, but since this one had taken 40 minutes to come out, I was not willing to wait that long again. He kindly offered an alternative suggestion which I accepted. I tried the Creme Brulee crepe cake which was mildly flavored and pretty tasty. (Maybe I should have just gotten it in the first place, but I had really wanted to try the souffle pancake which I've since & sadly lost interest in.) With that, we bid Motto adieu, and it is unlikely that I will return. A few additional notes: Parking in the area is metered and $1.25/hr with a max of 2 hours, the single bathroom is functional, but there is some problem with the ceiling (there is a gaping hole covered by plastic) making for an unpleasant and potentially unsanitary situation. This should be remedied immediately! Peace.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which set a nice tone for the meal. I ordered the Quiche Lorraine and it was delicious, flaky, flavorful, and perfectly baked. My husband went with the Brioche Egg Benedict; he said it was just okay (not bad, but not memorable).

    Very disappointing experience with how we were treated…read more We went here for lunch last weekend and waited about an hour and a half for a table. When the host at the front, who was managing the waitlist, told us our table was getting cleaned, she pointed to a specific table that was being cleaned by the busboys. Shortly afterward, I saw a customer approached the staff, and they seated him at the same table we had just been told was ours. I immediately asked the manager what was going on. The manager told me that the host had "said it wrong" and that the other customer had a reservation. I understand that reservations need to be honored, but then why were we told that this particular table was ours after we had already waited 90 minutes? We had given our name, followed the waitlist process, and patiently waited. If there was a reservation for that table, the staff should have known and communicated that clearly. The next available table could have been given to the reservation party. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the manager's attitude toward us compared with his attitude toward the other party. We had done nothing wrong. We were understandably unhappy because someone else was seated at the table we had just been promised. Since the confusion was caused by the restaurant, we would have appreciated at least a meaningful "I'm sorry." Instead, the manager seemed annoyed when speaking with us (think about a cold tone voice and side eyeing). At the same time, he was smiling and friendly toward the other party. The difference in attitude was very noticeable and left us feeling like we were not being treated fairly or equally. This was especially uncomfortable with the difference in our ethnicity and the other party. I cannot say for certain that race was the reason for what happened, but the combination of being passed over for a table we were told was ours, and then seeing the manager treat the other party so differently made it very difficult not to question. I hope the restaurant reviews how its hosts and managers handle situations like this, because customers deserve to be treated consistently and respectfully.

I wish I brought my cooler to bring these back, especially the TTB. I do wish there were better seating inside to accommodate both small and larger groups.

They seem to share the storefront with some other businesses, but there were some empty spaces. They had some limited high tops along the front window and one table. However it was really hot where we were sitting for an ice cream shop. Noah helped us with our order and she was super friendly. She was very gracious about offering us samples and telling us about the ice cream shop. So Wanderlust is inspired by global flavors, so you'll see unique flavors here. My cousin and I were pretty full from dinner so we decided to get the Tasting Trio ($6.50). We were told that these would be smaller scoops of each but you get to enjoy the variety, which was perfect for us. We opted for the Kinder, Ube Malted Crunch, and Japanese Neapolitan. This in itself was a nice mix of matcha, Sakura or Japanese cherry blossoms, and Hokkaido milk. All of the flavors were mild and not too sweet. I think my favorite was the Japanese Neapolitan. To be honest I was less excited by my experience with the Irvine location, but the flavors I tried here were much better. My cousin and I had a nice treat. It would have been a tad more enjoyable if it wasn't so hot here.
