I wish I could give this place a 10 star review. The food was amazing and even better were the courteous customer service we received. The servers were so attentive and helped with a smile. Whoever hired these staff should get a year-end bonus. Even though it was packed, they still managed to provide an amazing experience. The food is reasonably priced too. Highly recommend this place and will return to gain the calories we lost hiking. read more

The wait was excessively long and unnecessary. I saw tables that needed to be cleaned and too many staff members running around aimlessly. The service was terrible, and it seemed the staff was overwhelmed. However, the food was really good. read more

Satisfying breakfast. That's my expression after eaten here. We came here to sample their breakfast for the first time after seeing consistent high marks on Yelp. We were not disappointed. The egg Benedict breakfast dishes are phenomenal. My wife chose their favorite chilaquiles Benedict Which's prepared in amazing sauce with cheese and poached eggs. My breakfast was a California omelette which came with Applewood bacon, sliced avocado and white cheddar. With the crispy applewood bacon chips in the egg, the omelette tasted extra good. With the current pandemic, the restaurant offers outdoor seatings along the side walk. When we were there this morning, the place was packed. They do take pandemic measures seriously. All their waiters wear masks and gloves. There is a Parking lot next to the restaurant with entrance on Washington. read more

Food is just ok. My beans were cold and canned., the service is pretty decent too. The problem is the management. We went there for brunch today for my birthday. We had just finished and paid and were chatting for less than 5 minutes and about to get up when the gentleman running the floor came and ask if we were done. We said yes and he responded with "I'd like to have my table back". It was very rude. They run it like a factory and volume is how they make money. Wasn't a pleasant experience read more

Millie's was very good. Super packed, talking reservations on yelp as well as walk in. Took a bit of time to get sat down but once you're at the table. Service was fast. Food was good. Definitely would come again. read more

Holy fuck. Slutty Bun: soft scrambled eggs with scallions, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions & sriracha mayo on a brioche bun w/ added chorizo. The potatoes were fucking delicious. 50 out of 5 stars. FUCK!! read more

Millie's Cafe - Pasadena - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was picking up coffee around the corner and I first noticed this place because of HOW PACKED it was outside for their brunch. Of course then I got curious and had to look them up! Decided to order brunch to go. First off - can't wait to dine here and the experience lol. I ordered the Irish Benedict and "the usual" with chocolate pancakes. The Irish benedict was so flavorful with the corn beef and the potatoes are out of this world. I definitely recommend getting it. The usual with chocolate pancakes was also a favorite of mine. I was craving something sweet and the chocolate pancakes are fluffy and satisfying. Not too much chocolate chips was perfect. The usual comes with your style of eggs, choice of meat (I got Turkey sausage) and potatoes. It's a large meal for one person so I definitely had leftovers. Parking is on the street or their is a lot that you can park in (entrance is on Washington). I definitely recommend getting their early, otherwise be ready for a wait because this place is a hot commodity! read more

Amazing food and quick service. Pistachio iced coffee is a must try! Just a heads up they don't serve hash browns on weekends but their breakfast potatoes are great! read more

Overall, great local spot for tasty breakfast. You can reserve online before going, please do that the line was out the door when I went. I had higher expectations for the pancakes, just tasted like a baked cake to me but the waffles were much better. I would love to return and try out the rest of the menu. read more

Service is good enough. Food used to be better, in my opinion. Their iced tea is nasty and should be be freshly brewed for the price of their food and beverages read more

Even pre-pandemic times I heard a lot of hype about this place, and when outdoor dining was allowed I would see crowded tables spilling out onto the sidewalk. So I thought hey, this place must be good in order for people to want to eat here that badly. Was I right? Kind of.. I think people like this place because it offers so many different types of breakfast foods to satisfy everyone, but it feels like that leads to nothing standing out as especially good. Everything could be described as "pretty satisfying" in the traditional diner-style. - Benedicts: They seem to be known for their Benedicts, so I had the California one. It was okay, the English Muffin was somehow dry and one of the poached eggs was completed cooked through. + The Devils Mess: This one was actually pretty good and I don't think I've had anything like it before. COVID: Currently they are takeout only, and my order was on time and warm. When outdoor dining is allowed, they do have a wrap around patio area, but it is pretty crowded. read more

Amazing service, great food, perfect breakfast place that feels like an old fashioned diner.

I like this place except for two things. One, they don't always have parking. If you're here on a weekend get on the waitlist here on Yelp, it will save you a ton of time, but good luck with parking! The second thing that I don't like about this place is they don't have a kids menu. You know I don't understand why restaurants don't add a kids menu. Do they think children don't accompany their parents to eat? I had to order a full sized plate for my daughter and it was a waste of food and money because obviously she didn't eat the entire thing and taking it home was not a good idea as the food would just become soggy. Anyway, please add a kids menu, not difficult really. Some eggs and bacon with toast, some pancakes, French toast...those are already part of your menu...just make a kids portion and price it accordingly. Just a thought. I had the chilaquiles here and they were good BUT I mean growing up eating this I KNOW cheese is a pretty important ingredient. Well mine were lacking cheese. I had to ask for some and when they brought it to my table, I waited about 10 minutes (I was pretty much done with my food by then) and the little cup the server gave me was about a third of the way filled up with cheese. I seriously chuckled. They must not have chilaquiles too often from the looks of it because both times we have ordered this, it's the same thing, no cheese. They do come with eggs and you can order them over easy or scrambled. The pistachio latte was good. I ordered a decaf and my sister got a regular pistachio latte and the decaf was much better. The regular one was too bitter and just tasted funky so that was a waste too. I have tried the breakfast tacos and that's a good sized portion of food. I recommend those. I saw so many other options in the menu but not having a kids menu really stops me from going back. read more

Great service!! Great food!! Great brunch spot!! I will for sure be back again!! And tell all my friends and family!! read more

The quality of food is not great or delicious. Is definitely fast food with fruit fly's. Tables are so close to each other there's no-privacy.. After a pandemic I don't want to be seating too close to people, It felt like a pig barn to be quite honest. I was greeted fast, my order was taken quick within minutes sloppy food arrived to the table looking not tasty at all. The served disappeared nowhere to be found. asked the busboy to please bring the server and the check, I was definitely ignored. Try it for yourself and see. Why is Millies liked so much?. so many other places with way better tasty beautiful food, and better service and-no flys on my plate. Hopefully Millie's can do better than that. read more

Great food, great selection, great environment, great service, despite shirts that say something like "Served with a side of Fuck You." We didn't get that given how nice and attentive our server was. Interested in finding out though. But we're definitely adding to top of list for Saturday breakfast venues. read more

I was looking forward to trying this place and didn't mind the 1hr wait. However, the food was bland, and the service was not attentive. They offer many vegan and gluten-free options, which is a plus, but lacking flavor. I'm glad we tried it, but I won't be back. read more

We love Millie's! The wait is usually long all the time but I'd say it's worth it for a decent breakfast. The service is always good! Never had any issues or complaints. Plus the Matcha lattes are great! read more

This review is about the respect and appreciation for a repeated customer. Food is great, most of the server are professional and kind- this is about the boss himself, the manager ( older, bold heavy accent male) - guiding the seating and directing the incoming online reservation on where to sit and the wait time. This person was rude, disrespectful and arrogant. After making the requested on line reservations we waited 30 minutes, me and my family dealing with poor parking structure and long lines and a very poor manager who seemed stressed and unable to do his job. My kids wanted to try this place again ( been there twice within the past 12 months) experience with staff and food was great- this person was never around. we preferred inside seating when giving the online option. the outside is clearly disturbing, loud, unhealthy next to cars and traffic lights- but covered, that so called manager said if you want to sit inside it will be another 40 min, it has already been 40 min, we agreed to the covered outside table but I attempted to move it slightly inward and away from the sun- the manager flipped and yelled at us, and that if we don't like the way it is, we can leave!!!! I was shocked- this person was the rudest, most arrogant, dumbest looking person ever asking a party of 4 to leave cause he has plenty more customers if you try to move your seat lol!!!! I said and calmly, guess we will leave then since we are not welcomed here. I asked for his name and his manager- he refused and said he is the manager lol!!! I said okay then- we will leave and never come back but I will tell the world that you are an idiot and should treat your customers with a little more respect. we have the money and we came, waited long and still agreed to your stupid managing and poor style. How is this place accepting him being around beats me, but unless we all give such act a lesson- more unkind and disrespectful behavior will continue to happen. especially now the world is just so weird and expensive. Much luck to all. hope y"all stand your grounds and refuse to this dumb ass attitude just wanting to have breakfast. We turned around and went to Emmi's in Sierra Madre- amazing staff, food and place- much better experience than seating in the street waiting on a dumb ass to yell at you and have your money! read more

The food is delicious and they have great customer service. Weekends definitely get busy but I feel they try to get you seated quickly.

OhhEmmGee again you don't let me down. Thank you being there when I don't feel like cooking. It tastes just like homemade papas con chorizo (Vegan). I got beans in the side because I didn't know if you could add them in the burrito. I Always love your staff and your food. Keep up the great work!!! #VeganFatty Vegan Breakfast read more

Super busy, for good reason. Book ahead on yelp for sure. Excellent food and service.

La comida muy bien el hambiente regular pero te apresuran a salir por la gran demanda de clientes y soy amante del cafe y estaba frio

Always great service here and the food is typically always really delicious. It's my go-to for breakfast, especially if you're looking for great staff who are always very attentive read more

The best brunch spot hands down! My boyfriend and I are new to Pasadena and the food was amazing. I got the turkey, bacon, avocado with fries and he got the breakfast with the choice of bacon. read more

First and last time eating here. I ordered the blueberry french toast which was overly sweet. I asked for eggs over medium and received over easy, the bacon was not crisp but had decent flavor, the potatoes also had good flavor but were mushy. My friend ordered the Huevos a la Mexicana and he said the flavor was bland. The potatoes he received were even more mushy than what was on my plate. He ordered coffee, I tasted it and it was bitter even with copious amounts of cream and sugar added. The plastic "glasses" for water had a very "off " smell to them that made my stomach turn. Not sure if it was the water itself (which was lukewarm) or the scratched plastic cups. We sat outside. Traffic noise was horrid (not a relaxing way to start a Saturday morning). A woman was sitting behind us with a well behaved, large breed dog. In comes another customer with a hyper medium sized dog. Why they would sit the two in near proximity to one another is beyond me. The two dogs began to bark at one another, nothing was done about it. The interaction then escalated to a full blown fight between the dogs. I can't imagine being a person sitting near them, that would have been traumatic. The staff offered no apology to customers and acted like this was a normal occurrence. Aside from this the staff was attentive to keeping coffee filled. I will sum up by saying this was a s*** show and possibly one of the worst overall dining experiences I have ever had. read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast spot in Pasadena! Great vegan options, coffee is delicious and the vibes are amazing, it's always busy so I recommend adding yourself on the waitlist before you there, be ready to wait! read more

Our go to place for breakfast in Pasadena! Great food and great service. Have probably eaten there about twenty times

Let me start with customer service, our waitress (Elizabeth) was amazing, not only she gave some recommendations but also shared her personal favorites, which we order. The Chilaquiles were delicious!!! The French toast were delicious and California Benedict were absolutely delicious. One of my favorite restaurants. Worth the 1hour drive we take just to come eat here every 4 months. read more

Always busy on the weekends, but great place for anything you want that is gluten-free! You wouldn't know it was gluten-free if they didn't tell you, really. read more

I LOVE this place. It's wildly busy on the weekend, but you can hop on the waitlist ahead of time so you don't have to wait at the restaurant very long. The service is quick and the food is filling. Would def recommend this to anyone wanting a solid breakfast. Only real qualm is that some of the coffees are overpriced. read more

Food was so delicious here. There was definitely a wait but well worth it, in my opinion. I got the chilaquiles Benedict and my boyfriend got the Irish Benedict. They did not stand a chance! Service was pretty quick considering how busy the restaurant was. Staff was friendly. read more

Top tier place to have brunch or lunch. This was recently introduced to me and has surpassed my expectations time and time again. In the last 4 weeks I have been there about 6 times. Friendly service that can advise you on personal favorites should you be undeceive with the amazing menu options. No matter what you pick I can guarantee that it will blow your mind. 15/10 read more

Food and service were okay. I had better omelet. The eggs were thick and dried without much cheese.

Loved the Lox Eggs Benedict. Super loud and busy on a Sunday morning! Use the waitlist on Yelp. Cute place. No breakfast counters so they have indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I just love Millie's. Food is always so good, they're super quick and efficient and majority of servers are extremely friendly. Sometimes they're not as chatty or personable but they are usually slammed and attending to everyone best they can. Tables are a bit crammed if busy, but they've done great with such a small place. I go everytime I'm in the area :) read more

What a special little gem of a business! I'm from the pasadena area and love me some good breakfast. Millies is 10 mins away from the chaos of old Town pasadena almost bordering Altadena. Parking in the rear of the business is plentiful. Was a super warm day, so the gf and I opted to sit indoors. It's a bit nosey. The conversations seem to echo in the big open dinning area. The overall restaurant looks very clean with clean minimal decor. I like the look of the subway tiles and black chaulk board paint. I went with eggs beni with cold brew and the gf enjoyed an order of chilaquiles omelette. Food was delicious, and serving portion was giant. Service was on point. Fast, very friendly. I will be a regular read more

My husband enjoyed his breakfast burrito with fries. However, I was very disappointed with my order of Country Fried Chicken Steak Breakfast. My order was for the chicken and NOT the steak, eggs overeasy, half beans and potatoes, requested the potatoes to be crispy, a side of spinach. What I got: Steak, not the chicken, no beans, no spinach, potatoes were soggy, eggs were shockingly small. Very disappointed compared to our first experience. Please. The most fundamental thing a restaurant needs to do is to get the order right. This is the second time our orders weren't correct. Don't make it so that your customers have to check their orders. This would be a hassle for everyone. Please do better. read more

Terrible customer service!!! Cheap food!!! Not nice to people of color! Because I complained about the service he yelled at me to never return. read more
