i ordered a 6inch red velvet buttercream and hazelnut cake from id-eclair the price was 85$ and i think that is a fair and reasonable price for the custom cake i wanted, it was fairly easy and they had great communication. i drove from norwalk to pasadena and it was entirely worth every minute, the location is beautiful and the staff was fast and friendly. the cake itself was moist and my family raved over the filling(i preferred the cake lol), definitely worth a try if ur in the area! read more

I don't know how excited I am that this French Vegan Pastry Shop opened. The pastry Chef, Chef Romy, who baked all the pastries is so talented. I get it that there are already vegan pastry bakers out there made croissants and macarons. But this one is a truly French Vegan Pastry Chef! What's exciting the most is the eclairs. We have been looking for vegan eclairs for 20-25 years since we became lacto vegetarians then vegans. There has been no one could make it as good as the non vegan eclairs until now. I have tried to make them at home too and failed miserably, several times. The pastry puffed up but the inside is not cooked. These eclairs are hollowed with no uncooked bits inside them. The filling was piped in through a hole made on the pastry. It is truly an eclair. There are variety of flavors and they are all delicious! The croissants, macarons, Mille Feuille or Napoleon, baguette, soup, etc. are so so delicious! The soup changes daily. The coffee and lattes were delicious also. It is getting so popular that often it is sold out or only a few items left near the end of closing time. My suggestion is to come early. read more

This place is all vegan. Very yummy & tasty. The person at the counter was very friendly and helpful since this was our first time. It is very clean, beautifully setup and very welcoming place. read more

Limited street parking. Customer service was good. Lots of pastries and desserts for display. I purchased a baguette and a chocolate and pistachio eclairs. The eclairs were wayyyy too sweet and they were soggy. Unfortunately i could not eat them they were so sickly sweet and soggy. I took one bite of each and had to throw them out. I figured their name has to do with eclairs so they must be good? Maybe i got some that were a day or two old? Either way i would skip the eclairs. The baguette on the other hand was solid. They have some tables and seating inside. read more

For full disclosure this is a reviews based off my employees feelings as I purchased these for her for her birthday and she is vegan When I walked into this shop I was amazed how amazing looked. It was a very diverse offering and I started looking through the display case trying to find the vegan items. When I struggled a bit the cashier asked me if I had any questions so I asked which items were vegan. I was shocked to find out everything in the store was vegan!!!! Like what?!?! How was that even possible. Everything looked it legit had the bestest cream and delicious butter. I was so wrong. I purchased half dozen macaroons, a millefuille (ya probably misspelled it cause I'm not French) and a strawberry tart. She called me 10 minutes after I dropped them off with what felt like tears coming out. She said she's never had any vegan pastries like this in her life. I felt so happy to know she got to enjoy these delicious treats for her birthday. The place is pretty big (I think another shop attached?) and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I honestly will need to come back and get some stuff because her reaction sold me that these have to be delicious. read more

a vegan french pastry wow i couldn't wait to try when i heard about this place and was so happy when i finally did. they have so many options! but i wanted to stick to the classics; regular croissant and pain au chocolat. i ate both of them UP!! my only gripe is that i prefer my pastries warm so i asked for both warmed up and idk if they put it in 400° ovens to do so but both were pretty much burnt like the top layer wasn't good and crispy to a fault. it was honestly upsetting lol maybe if i didn't ask for it to be warmed and did it myself in the microwave it would be different but yeah. regardless, i am definitely coming back to try their other items :)! read more

I really enjoy the vegan treats here. They have lots of options for you to choose from. My favorite is the mushroom danish, chocolate tart and the hot chocolate. Service is nice and they always help you with any information you need to ask about their menu. I recommend it for sure. read more

I've come here more than 3 times and I'm surprised I have not written a review yet. This spot is 100% vegan. Gluten free pastries are labeled on the menu. Alfredo always gives great service and is always very friendly. He's very knowledgeable about all the food and pastries. So far I've had the soup of the day twice on different days. One of them had roasted bell peppers and the other one had eggplant. Very good. Croissants are super flaky. They also have macarons and eclairs. There's a mini mart where they sell jams (ie: tropical, blueberry, pineapple), spread (ie: salted caramel), chocolate that have season designs (ie: Christmas trees), cookies, biscuits, and much more! For food, they have sandwiches, salads, cheeseboards (rebel cheese), and quiches. Alcohol they got wines. Ask them for a food menu. They got tea time with a lot of different teas. They got coffee, fresh pressed OJ, and hot chocolate as well. There's music playing but it's not that loud so you can have conversations. There's a bar in the back. Restrooms, there's single male and female. The food is a bit pricey, but this is pretty much Pasadena pricing. Will definitely be back for more. read more

We purchased every eclair, tiramisu, and the napoleon. 5 people tasting, about $90. Eclairs were stale and soggy. Super disappointment given we drove pretty far to try these. The tiramisu tastes more like cheesecake. The tiramisu lover in the group took one bite and stopped. If you pretend it's something else (like cheesecake) it's good. Napoleon was flaky and crunchy, but lacked flavor. The service was good. Enjoyed sitting inside. But, no plans to return...really bummed about this one. Weeks late our group still talks about how unfortunate these desserts were. Only recommendation, let people know the when the eclairs aren't fresh. read more

Buttery flaky croissants, perfect little macarons, and interesting new items every time... This place is so, so good. We've ordered two custom cakes from them as well, and they've both been absolutely delicious but also incredible looking. Many non-vegans at our parties remarked that these were "the best cake I've ever had." The bakery is in a sweet area of Pasadena that's easy to stroll around, and I've enjoyed many late mornings on their patio with my two little ones in tow. read more

Answer to my prayers! Vegans have been begging for a place like this! I got 2 of each: chocolate Claire, strawberry cake, and vegan croissants!!! U had to go back in and buy more, because I didn't leave any eclairs for my husband. read more

ID-éclair is a slice of Paris right in the heart of Pasadena. The quality of the pastries here are exceptional. Every bite is flavorful, balanced, and made with love & intention. You can tell that only the best ingredients are used, and there's a certain elegance in both the flavors and presentation that feels like a true celebration of French pastry craft! The space is super clean, modern, and welcoming with French charm with seating inside & outside. What makes it even more special is the story behind it. The chef, who came from France, has a beautiful message boards posted outside about his journey to Pasadena and his dream of creating something special here. That heart and passion is reflected in every detail of the bakery. The service is also fantastic: friendly, helpful, and always happy to guide you if you're not sure what to try first. Emily & Alfredo are my absolute favs and they can brighten anyone's day! This is definitely a must-visit spot in Old Town. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to treat yourself to something here! read more

Great corner French patisserie in Pasadena The quiche I ordered was delicious! Fluffy, perfectly flavored, and the pastry crust was firm and crisp. This was my favorite item we ordered. Also got a chocolate croissant, macarons of various flavors, a pistachio eclair, Paris Brest (hazelnut eclair), and two drinks. The chai latte was a bit milky but okay. Wouldn't order it again. Also tried the pistachio eclair at the cafe/bakery and it was sweet but not overly so. The service was quick and prompt. Everyone is friendly. They have seating space available inside and outside. If you order a pastry to eat there they'll serve it on the cutest vintage looking china. The to go boxes are nice. It shares space with another French looking business (La Cave). They also do custom order cakes and have a monthly macaron masterclasses . They have a tea for two that's $70 ($35 for every extra person) which might be worth it if you're ordering a bunch of stuff. This place is great and worth a trip for anyone who wants to try a vegan French patisserie. But it is a bit pricey. So we be ready to spend money. read more

A new French owned bakery in Pasadena shop. The venue is bright, clean and pretty. For our first visit, we tried the expresso and pistachio eclairs. Wow, these were decadent presentations with very tasty fillings and nice texture. We loved them both but they were pretty expensive for a rather modest size éclair. Will definitely return when we want a special treat. read more

I came to the store today 1/28/26. There were 2 guys at the counter, one wear cap hat, the other one wear glasses. I came with intention to have an afternoon tea. At first I asked is there any dubai bites, they say no. But I still want dubai bites. But I think I want the afternoon tea. So I said I want an afternoon tea. The guy with glasses said, "No, this is only for 2 people. You have to bring another person." I was by myself. I felt cornered. I said, "What do you mean?" He: "Tea party is designed for 2 people, not 1 people." Me: What do you mean? I am aware the price is $70. What's the difference if 1 person eats, or 2 people eat? If I pay that much. Are you saying I am not allowed to have an afternoon tea because I am alone? He: You can, but I won't recommend it. Me: Why? He said he doesn't want the food go wasted. I said, I can make it (the remaining) to go, right? If I go to other afternoon tea in other places, they always give me box to go. He: I can give you a box to go, but I won't recommend it. Me: Why? He: Because for example, if you don't finish the soup, we cannot make it to go. So this guy is full of judgement thinking that I want to make the soup to go. At first I was very well aware, the soup is 2 small pots, and I was hungry, who wants to make it to go? If I eat the soup, the cake, or not, it's not his business. I am willing to pay this much, it is up to me, to finish it or not. Basically he kept push me away from buying. Then I saw there were 3 dubai bites on the fridge, I asked if I can have that in my afternoon tea. He said, no, it's for other people. Basically we're arguing back and forward. And then somewhere along the way he said, "We can do that." Me: Can do what? He: You can come back tomorrow. Me: ??? I don't have time tomorrow. I only have time today. Then I also said, I bought French garden tea (a week ago). [I didn't remember who made the tea, but it's a guy, and he was nice, not him, probably the guy with the cap] But I didn't taste anything, I only taste water. I didn't taste the pear nor raspberry. But after I finished drinking, I only taste the caffeine aftertaste. He: Is it iced tea? Me: yes He: We can steep it longer for you. We can put sugar, etc.. (like I was the problem) That's not what I meant. What I meant is, there is a quality control issue. Me: I am not even supposed to tell you (what to do, steep it longer, etc.). You are not supposed to sell something like this. I wasn't even asking for money back. I was just informing about the quality issue. He: You are the only one who complaint about this. No other customer ever complaint about this. He continued gaslighting me. Again, I was cornered. My thought is: 1. perhaps not so many people ordered french garden ice tea, it was winter. There are so many different kind of teas. 2. lack of training, lack of communication. Forget that ice tea needs stronger tea. 3. customers usually don't speak up. They just don't buy. Then he made a tea for himself, and drink it. And he said, "it taste okay for me". He kept defending himself. Whatever it is, he's never wrong. I am the problem. We are just arguing back and forward. At this moment I lost my appetite. I said, "you are rude!" He: I am not rude. I lost words. I cannot win the argument. He won. I left, without buying anything. I won't come back, unless this guy with the glasses disappear. read more

I called a day before to ask about tea time service for a group of 10 and they were very accommodating and made us a reservation. When we arrived they were attentive and we did not feel rushed. Patio had shade cover and a nice view of tree-lined street. Food and tea were amazing!!! My non-vegan family was impressed and delighted. It may be a little pricey but you absolutely pay for quality. Would 100% come back! read more

I really liked the Palmier. Theres a sweet clear coating that makes it really good. I wasnt a fan of the pistachio eclair, although i know its a popular choice. The fruit tart was really good, the fruit was fresh, the cream and crust, all of it. I passed on the one w a red crust bc he said they use red food dye, which has been shown to be carcinogenic. There was a pastry with hazelnut filling that looked really good, id like to try that next time, its called the paris or something like that. And im getting that sweet coated Palmier again. My new fave. read more

I've been to this lovely cafe several times and each visit leaves me wanting more! Today I had the "tuna" sandwich. It was incredibly delicious. I also had their apple pastry, again soooo delicious!

Id Eclair is a low key coffee stop off Colorado with a calm, welcoming vibe. The staff greeted me with a friendly bonjour right when I walked in, which set the tone. Service felt relaxed and genuine. I ordered the espresso, and it was strong. No messing around. Bold, intense, and definitely for people who like their coffee to hit hard. They had a solid display of baked goods that looked great, especially the pastries, but I did not grab any this time. The space stayed quiet while I was there, with only one other person coming in. That made it feel like a good spot to sit, focus, and get some work done without dealing with a crowd. A simple stop, but a good one if you want strong coffee and a calm room. read more

Cute cozy vegan cafe on Green St. Pasadena. They also have their wine bar/restaurant next door. Stopped by to check out and tried their pistachio financier, matcha tart and their 7 citrus black tea. I was advised that the financier was gluten free. They also have macaron that's very lovely as well and gluten free. I tried the lemon! Please do let the staff know if you have celiac. I have gluten intolerant and I was fine after consuming their pastries. The financier is lovely and not so sweet. Matcha is very much present and the cream on top is not sweet, great balance and lovely companion to the matcha itself. The tea is great to drink with the sweets, you can taste the orange citrus and grapefruit flavor comes in to balance it out. It was about after 8:20 pm and they said they are extending their bakery hour for people to come in and enjoy. It was very lovely to sit and enjoy the dessert, in a nice quiet night. Alfredo, one of their staff showed their tea menu and also let us smell the different tea buds scents for us for later time. He also mentioned about their tea set with the chef's choice of pastries. He's very friendly and helpful and very welcoming. Certainly will go back and try their other pastries and tea. *Meter Parking is available on street and there's also a parking lot on De Lacey Ave between Green and Colorado, which is $1 for 2 hour parking. Be careful on being good feeding those meters if you're staying long and parking on street since Pasadena is pretty strict on their parking regulation and they have parking officers constantly monitor it. read more

Oh my god! Thanks to my good friend Rosette for introducing me to this amazing French (and vegan - although you would never know) bakery! Emily and Albert at the counter were super friendly and helpful and Chef Romy too! Had the chocolate croissant (ohhh sooo good) and green tea (very nice). Of course, as I love French baguettes, got one to go. And a fruit tart. And dinosaur cookies (c'mon, who can refuse cute dinosaur cookies!?!). They are opening up a wine bar as part of the bakery so looking forward to going. Good addition to Pasadena and Old Town! read more

Traveled two hours round trip (I take the streets) just to come here again. No regrets! Got so much like the most. Again no regrets! Emily was helping me with my very long order. She recommended the Beefy sandwich and I got it. Now I'm day dreaming about it. Emily was great she is everything you would want in an employee: personable, understanding, knowledgeable, friendly, an all around professional. I wish I lived closer because I'm deeply in love with ID-Eclair. Can your next location be in Porter Ranch?! Or can I move in? 6 out of 5 stars. Out of this world! Amazing amazing amazing! read more

I want to start this review by saying that I really wanted to love this bakery but I was honestly let down. The baked goods in the window looked beautiful and is what drew me in. I ordered several items: Focaccia, Vanilla Eclair, Paris Brest, Butter Croissants and a Baguette. I happen to snag the last focaccia which was a bit dry around the edges but very flavorful, fluffy and moist once I took a few more bites towards the middle. The vanilla eclair was delicious and had great vanilla flavor but the Paris Brest was a bit of a let down. I liked the creme mousselline but the choux was soggy and did not include any almond (at least none that I could taste) which I had enjoyed in the Paris Brest I had in the past. Maybe the almond is optional. I don't claim to be an expert but this is just what I recall from my past experiences. The baguette was great. It is everything you want in a beautiful baguette. It was crusty, soft inside, tasted and smelled delicious. The 2 of the 4 butter croissants I bought were obviously over baked. I feel like if you charge $4.50/croissant the quality should be higher. The service was ok. read more
