Ciabatta Breakfast Sandwich
Ellie A.

I was in Pasadena when a friend recommended this place for breakfast so we gave it a try. We tried the breakfast sandwich, andouille omelette and pancakes. The omelette was tasty and the potatoes were yummy but were loaded with onions, so if you're not into onions beware. The pancakes were okay. Service was fast and the ambience was calm for a Sunday morning.

Marston's is a cool little restaurant with a chill vibe. Went there for breakfast with friends. I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon and it was delicious. Our server was prompt and courteous.

Cute old-fashioned diner - reliable, predictable American food, filter coffee, friendly staff and friendly patrons. All happy. No extravagant stuff, no extravagant expectations.

The French toast really is fantastic
Eric N.

Came here for a quick breakfast for lunch on a Thursday at 1:00 p.m. it was quick service in and out and delicious. It was pretty no nonsense and got to the point. The menu was extensive but the French toast was supreme. The staff was super nice and quick. They have their own little parking lot which is nice too. It's got loud diner vibes but that's what I expected. There is a nice patio out front and on the side as well if you want to sit outside. I would definitely come back and travel the menu if I lived nearby. It was the perfect breakfast

They offer a split plate fee--this is half an andouille omelette.

Omelette was not what I expected, but good! The big chunks of andouille sausage were nice--not mealy or bland as this type of sausage can be. The offer a split fee, which I love because the portions are huge. The service was kind and the vibe is simple and clean and pleasant.

Just Eggs with Meat, Blueberry Pancakes, Side of Canadian Bacon, Regular Coffee
Sammy L.

Marston's is a great neighborhood spot. The service is excellent! It was my first time going but I felt like I was a regular. All the staff were so nice and attentive! All the food was solid. The blueberry pancakes were nice and fluffy and the bacon wasn't too salty. I am looking forward to trying their french toast next time!

My brothers and I had gone to our usual spot Russel's on Fair Oaks, but we were treated so poorly that we decided to come to Marston's. Here, we had a great breakfast. The service was fabulous, the food was delicious, the dinning room was comfortable. Everything about the experience was amazing.

The Powerhouse Omelette
Jason B.

Don't normally give a 5star but they earned it. Staff were amazing. Location is great and it has a true small cafe feel. I ordered the powerhouse omelette and it was a home run. Perfect amount of food and tasted outstanding. It is an egg white veggie omelette and came with fresh fruit and toast and it was all great down to the last bite. 100 percent coming back when I am in the area next.

Vegetarian Omelet with added sausage.
Sklar T.

Nice place for a bite. However, the food is fine, just not amazing. Be sure to ask for a soft scramble omelet if you don't want to be served an omelet where the egg is cooked well done. Service was excellent and friendly. That was a plus. Parking lot is small, so may have to find street parking nearby.

Definitely one of the most popular breakfast restaurants in all of Pasadena. It's very laid-back and you feel as if you are eating inside someone's home. The wait times are never as long here as some other restaurants close by but also it's not the best option in town. Russell's, a few blocks away, is the best breakfast in Pasadena in my opinion, but Marston's is still worth visiting. They have an extremely tiny and narrow parking lot with free parking otherwise it will be street parking. They have a fairly large menu filled with a lot of good options and our server was very polite. Inside is not very large and just has table seating, there is not a counter. The food here is good, but not great. For my first visit I chose the special - Crab Cake Benedict and thought it was just OK. The crabcakes did not have as much flavor as I had recently and I really did not enjoy the side of potatoes. I would suggest offering hashbrowns instead. I also felt it was a bit overpriced for what we got in return and honestly I don't think I would visit again given the other breakfast options close by.

Texas Chili Omelet
Armando L.

Came here with some coworkers on Wednesday afternoon for lunch. Luckily it wasn't too busy and got seated quick inside. The place is small but feels very homey. Our server was very nice and attentive. I ordered the Texas chili omelette. The portion was very generous! The chili had a great homemade taste. It went very well with the potatoes it came with. The only downfall is the parking. It's very limited but it's worth the walk if you have to park far.

Macadamia nut pancakes
Carol R.

My husband and I were in town visiting and met a friend here. She raved about the cornflake-crusted French toast. It's a cozy place and it seems to be very popular. Service was fast and friendly. We had the French toast (one with berries and nuts and one with berries and bananas) and the macadamia nut pancakes. The French toast was OK but not stellar. The coating was nice but the bread was not soaked in the milk and egg dip enough to give it a good flavor. The pancakes were plain, a bit tasteless, with a sprinkling of macadamia nuts on top of the pile. (Hubby expected it to be in the batter of the pancake or at least throughout the layers.) Breakfast for three with beverages, tax, and tip was $88.

Menu 8/12/25

Great service and hospitality, but the food is pricey. Most food items range from $15-$20, but it's understandable for having a business in Pasadena. The food was tasty! Parking - small lot bc shares with a law office

The FANTASTIC blueberry pancakes!

See all

It's always great to see pizza spots offering slices to go or slices to enjoy inside. The location on Fair Oaks in the busy streets of Old Town Pasadena. Parking garages are all nearby or street parking around the building. The location has a number of tables and TVs to enjoy the games. The staff here were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. There were an abundance of ready made slices to select. Per the staff, they have vegan cheese options for whole pizzas, but none for ready made slices. Just as an FYI. They also offer a number of sandwiches as well. The number of items is vast and of great variety. Now for the pizza. The selection was a mix NY slices and square slices. I was looking for some to go. So I decided on the squares cause I love those slices! I went with Pepperoni Grandma and a Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The staff will heat it up for you on the oven and even cut slices in half to enjoy them. I loved the flavors and the crisp edges. It had a great crunch in each bite and taste was solid. My favorite of the too was the Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The hot honey on this slice made this option stand out to me. The mix of sweet and savory paired with heat is my kind of combo of flavor. :) I would come back again if I'm craving pizza and would think of the trying a sandwich too in the future because their menu looked good. Thanks, Brooklyn Square! ( ^_^)b

This café in old town Pasadena has been around since 1984. I personally have been going there for…read moreat least 16 years as it was down the street from my previous office. There are so many Middle Eastern cafés and restaurants in town, but this one always stood out to me. It is extremely fresh and flavorful they make the food after you order and Service is warm and friendly. The quality has never wavered and trust me, I have eaten here many times. I enjoy their pressed wraps, but especially love the fries. I am picky about fries, but these are always made to order and always just perfect. It has a Middle Eastern seasoning on it which you can opt to leave off. I love them with a dipping sauce of spicy tahini, which they will provide if you ask. You can of course get it non-spicy as well. Their menu can satisfy many different diets including vegetarian/vegan, keto/low carb, pescatarian and meat eaters It's just extremely reliable and high-quality and I plan on continuing to be a regular customer.

Hurts me to write a 3-star review update, but Father Nature just isn't as good as I remember…read more Service was pretty mid; while the woman at the counter said all the right things, her tone and overall vibe just didn't feel welcoming. To be fair, I did come in after the lunch rush, so maybe it was just a long day. What really bummed me out was my order. The French Connection used to be my favorite, but this time it had way less filling and just wasn't satisfying. I also ordered a cup of chicken, which was the same small serving as before, but now it's almost $8; not really worth it for what you get. I love supporting small businesses and have enjoyed Father Nature in the past, but honestly, I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon.
