This is a wonderful local breakfast/brunch spot. Amazing & large vegan menu for those of us who swing that way...I want to try everything on it! Cute interior with high ceilings, extra space & tables outside, nice staff & quick service. read more

I tried this place about a week ago and I can't help but think about the food I ate here and how dissatisfied I was. I was really excited to try this place out, it had been on my To Try list for so long! The service was amazing and couldn't have been happier. I got the eggs Benedict and was a little grossed out. I don't know whether it was the hollandaise sauce or the REALLY stale English muffin but it just didn't sit right with me. The potatoes were good, average, nothing out of this world. Maybe I just picked a not so good item on the menu but was highly disappointed. read more

Arrived and the place was super busy, glad they had a waitlist on Yelp. That definitely helped! Ordered the chilaquiles which were the perfect spice for my taste. I didn't end up getting a drink but the coffee choices looked delicious, will have to come back and try it. There' is plenty of seating with some outside but it was very crowded. The waiters were quick and our food came fast so that was a plus! read more

I love this place mainly because of the rosemary potatoes and the big menu. Unfortunately it's really chaotic so it's hard to come and enjoy your meal. On weekends there's a big queue but the Yelp waitlist is really great. What I hate the most is the aggressive staff. Almost every-time I'm here I almost collide with them because there are frantically running around. I hate that the second you finish eating they instantly grab your plate. They give you your check in the middle of the meal. Today I came after Yoga class. My left hut was hurting so I'm moving slowly. I walked up to check in to be seated. Other aggressive guests stepped in front it me to talk to the hostess so I stood there. I got seated outside after dodging staff and guest. I ordered the Elenor Special and an iced coffee. The food and ice coffee came out quickly. I tried to enjoy but staff kept coming up. One came and grabbed a chair without asking. As I as done eating, I found a long white hair nestled in my rosemary potatoes. I looked around and no staff but I had two bites left so whatever. Oh the potatoes were totally undercooked. I looked around to get a sever but they were nowhere to be seen. I also had to flag someone down to get a refill. The second I finished my last bite, out of nowhere a staff appeared and grabbed my plate. I paid and had to use the bathroom. That's another problem. There's oh 2 single bathrooms. There were 3 people waiting ahead. When it was my turn, the second I got in and sat down someone was knocking. I had to shout "occupied". They kept knocked so I didn't finish and left. On my way out, I got stuff behind a staff pushing a cart of water and a few other staff and guests trying to get seated. So sure I like this place but today it was a fail especially with a painful hip. read more

It's Sunday morning Millie's is packed. People lined up on the sidewalk. My daughter tells me this plate is great but we're number 11 on the list. Yikes! It's not large but not small. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating. So we wait. About 30 minutes later we get seated inside. It crazy noisy so it's nearly impossible to hold a conversation. I end up ordering "The Usual". Which consists of banana walnut pancakes, 2 over easy eggs, a side of bacon and roasted rosemary potatoes. It was all worth the wait! Super delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked. My wife had the blueberry pancakes and a side of bacon. She also was very pleased. Even though it was very busy the service was good. I can definitely say Millie's is worth the wait. read more

My husband and I stopped by Millie's Cafe for the first time a few weeks ago and had a nice brunch. We came in on a Sunday, so of course they were super busy. However, they did a nice job of moving through the waitlist as efficiently as possible. The establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating which assisted in seating and serving more customers during their busyness. Staff were friendly and also efficient. The food was generally good as well. Overall, a solid first impression. Millie's Cafe in Pasadena has an array of items for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. They even have a wide selection of vegan options to offer. Our order consisted of: - Blueberry Waffle Usual - Crab Benedict - French Toast Usual The Blueberry Usual was all to be expected: a waffle with blueberry compote, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Nothing fancy or unusual (ha!). The Crab Benedict was a complete miss and not very good. The original waitress who took our order told my husband the crab was fresh everyday, however, the benedict didn't taste as so. It was watery (like it came from a can) and extremely fishy. We ended up sending it back and replaced the entree with the French Toast Usual, which my husband loved. He said the French Toast was one of the best, if not the best, he's ever had. The second waitress who helped us rectify the order was amazing. Very patient and gracious through the mishap. She and the French Toast salvaged the experience for my husband. We do not frequent Pasadena often, but would consider visiting Millie's Cafe again if we were in town. read more

Such great food, chill and welcoming atmosphere and always friendly service from all servers. Worth the wait!

So glad they have a waitlist here, because it got crowded for lunch on a Saturday. I luckily got called up right when I arrived and was asked if I wanted to sit inside or outside. Personally inside seemed like a lot better especially since it was hot in the summer so we waited a few extra minutes to get a table inside. Service was fast, and our order was taken quickly, here is what I tried. Chai Lavender Latte - This was tasty, super milky almost like a horchata. I enjoyed it, and you could taste the lavender. (4.5/5) Crab Cake Benedict - The eggs were perfectly cooked and the crab cakes were good. Potato's were basic but was tasty with Ketchup. Solid dish. (4/5) Chilaquiles Benedict - Was a pretty basic dish. Chips were tasty and the eggs were also perfectly cooked. Can't go wrong. (4/5) Overall the food was good but I wasn't exactly wow'd since there are so many great brunch places. I definitely wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes for this but since they have a waitlist it's not too bad if you plan ahead. The restaurant is very loud too so not the ideal place if you want to talk with your friends. Default minimum tip is 18% so would recommend you get ready with tip numbers if you want to tip lower than that. Parking - Easy, you can park on the street. If anything you can just park farther down the road and walk. read more

My first time here and it won't be my last. The service was wonderful and the menu had a great selection for every type of diet. Met a group of my foodie friends for breakie, a little too early for this girl, but definitely worth it for the company & the food. Let's just start off by saying that their home made biscuits were the best I have ever experienced. Baked in a muffin tin, it was moist with just a tad of sweetness & served warm with butter and jam:). It came with my scrambled eggs & hash browns. Several others ordered the biscuits as well. Everything looked delicious and the service was spot on. By the time our group left there was a line out the front door. It's spacious inside with a few tables outside. Street parking only but it's free. *Read signs for street cleaning etc. *Located on the corner Hill and Washington read more

My coworkers and I decided to have breakfast last weekend and we decided to come to Millie's café. They've all been there except for me and now I'm kicking myself because it's taking me so long to try this place. It's been on my bookmarks, but never got to try it until last week. I ordered their Devil's Mess, and let me tell you... It was delicious! It's like a scrambled with scrambled eggs, their Cajun spiced turkey, sausage, cheese, and fresh salsa, guacamole, and sour cream served with their rosemary potatoes, and homemade biscuit. The potatoes and biscuit were so good. I'm usually a sourdough bread type of person with breakfast... But this biscuit and potatoes, I was still thinking about them. I also got their pistachio latte, it was so good. Definitely full of pistachio flavor. So this week, when my friend asked me where I wanted to go for breakfast, I came back to Millie's. This time I ordered a meat lovers omelette so I could share some with my dog Peanut. It definitely had a lot of meat. This time I had their house coffee, and it was also really good. Both times we came, there was a long waits. To avoid the lines... you should definitely check in on Yelp to get on their waitlist because it will definitely cut down on the time. Both times we sat outside and enjoyed the mountain views with our breakfast. I also love that that they are dog friendly (one of the servers offered peanut a little bit of bacon and brought her water) and their service is great. Can't wait to go back... Never know, maybe we'll go back again for the third week in a row! read more

It's been quite a hot minute since I stopped by Millie's cafe but I visited for a quick stop of coffee on a Saturday morning and boy was it crowded! Lines out the door and Yelp waitlist 30+ parties deep - would definitely recommend checking in in advance as you're driving over (or even before then). This review is ONLY FOR THE COFFEE I GOT that was so delightfully bland (sarcasm on the delightful). If you're coming considering the blue majik latte please look elsewhere because I felt like I was drinking an $8 glass of skim milk. Don't let the pretty blue color fool you because there was absolutely no coffee taste or ... really anything. Hoping the food still holds up ... and the other drinks.... read more

One of our family's favorite breakfast spots in Pasadena. Appreciate that they allow you to join the waiting list and consistently update it (I hate waiting in lines). Service is amazing. Food always comes out sooo fast. We went for breakfast - I got the Forage omelet full of veggies with a coffee, sourdough bread and rosemary potatoes. Tasty. If you have some time before being seated, visit Octavia's Bookshelf next door. read more

They changed the espresso beans or something. Did not enjoy my latte today, it tasted burnt, very unpleasant. And the hostess doesn't seem happy as well, probably due to too many customers waiting to be seated. Everyone else was nice except her. I still enjoy their banana walnut pancake a lot. My husband ordered a hamburger, it was okay not great. My son ordered breakfast burritos and he said the tortillas were a bit chewy. Our overall experience wasn't as good as it used to be. Feels different. read more

I've been going to Millie's infrequently for the past 3 years or so and now I've been finally able to branch out and try some different items off their menu. This was my first time trying the slutty bun and I consider myself extremely picky when it comes to breakfast food as it's probably my least favorite meal of the day. I'll start off by saying this was hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The savory soft scrambled eggs were perfectly accompanied by the sweetness from the caramelized onions. The dish was just very well put together and every favor shined through at some point in every bite 8.5/10. Unfortunately I didn't get to try "the usual" however my friends said it was very good as well. The service is great everyone is so sweet the only problem is that if you don't have a reservation on the weekends you may end up waiting. I would love to come back here again soon!! read more

Decided to try Millie's today and was satisfied. I much preferred the Irish Benedict to the pork belly Benedict and the monkey banana pancakes were good. It's a good brunch spot in the area and I'd come back to try more! The service was fast on a Monday afternoon and plenty of seating. read more

Came here on a Sunday after a hike with friends. Definitely recommend getting on the Yelp waitlist. By the time we got there and found parking, our table was ready. Started with an iced pistachio matcha latte with oat milk. It's as good as it sounds. My friends and I shared a bunch of dishes and everything was delicious! Big portions too. The chilaquiles eggs benedict and banana strawberry nutella french toast were pretty darn good. We cleaned up every plate. This gem of a place is a must try! read more

Great service, great food. This restaurant is run like a well oiled machine. Gets busy but the staff ensure that customers are taken care of, and cycled in and out efficiently. Parking kind of sucks due to a few other neighboring businesses sharing the same small lot. It's ok though. Plenty of street parking. read more

I grew up in the Deep South so I know biscuits - believe me when I tell you they have the BEST biscuits west of the Mississippi here at Millie's! They're massive, soft, fluffy, buttery and absolutely heavenly with their homemade raspberry jam! Staff were fantastic and our party loved everything we tried! For my drink, I couldn't resist trying the Blue Majik Latte that comes with vanilla, cinnamon, and topped with a generous helping of vibrant blue spirulina - it's a beautiful drink and delicious as well - not too sweet with nice flavors. But if you like your lattes super sweet, this one may not be for you - for example, I usually get my boba teas at 25% sweet or less and this latte was perfect for me. For my breakfast I went with the Shrimp Scramble and it was just wowww - omg it was SO GOOD! It comes with three eggs scrambled full of giant pieces of supple quality shrimp, peppers and delectable goat cheese. You get a choice of potato and bread so I went with hashbrowns and of course the amazing biscuit. It was all fantastic and I would happily go out of my way to have this again. Others in our party ordered the biscuits & gravy, regular eggs Benedict, and chilaquiles and everyone raved about their items - great food all around! We had a group of eight rambunctious Yelpers for a breakfast badge party - came in right at opening time and got a table immediately. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and very attentive. I loved the decor and the sleek vibes - and they're in an excellent, lively location in North Pasadena. Prices are kinda high but everything is delicious with great quality. They have quite a large menu with tons of vegan options so definitely something for everyone. They get pretty busy here as the morning goes on and this location accepts the Yelp waitlist. Parking is all free street parking and I had no issues finding a spot that early in the morning but it was packed by the time we left so plan ahead. read more

Very good service and food options. We had traditional bacon & egg combos, omelets, to eggs Benedict. Another friend had biscuits smothered with gravy and another ordered an acai bowl covered with fresh fruits, almost too pretty to eat! Enjoy the video and see for yourself. It was a busy morning, but there was sufficient staff on duty that kept up the food and drink orders. They came around and used a tablet to enter our menu choices. They honestly had something for every person and able to accommodate dietary restrictions. Thanks to Nadine who found this restaurant on Yelp and organized a breakfast gathering. They had a kiosk to get on the wait list or use your Yelp app. Free parking was available in a shared lot behind the restaurant. Bookmark this place and tell 'em Rosemary and Nadine sent ya!! read more

Was really looking forward to meeting up with my friends earlier today for brunch & to catch up. Was told Millie's had great food and service. Our server was good but food was disappointing and the prices aren't low. Aside from that, and mostly the reason for a one star review, our brunch that was about 70 minutes long was SO RUDELY disrupted by being asked to finish up and leave because they had people waiting. I could understand if the four of us were there for 2 hours, but we were there for a reasonable amount of time when considering there were four adults and a baby dining and we spend close to $160. Never will I ever spend a single penny at a restaurant who treats their customers so poorly. No thank you. read more

Busting at the seams with customers wanting a piece of that biscuit! Homemade jam? Yes please! Wide menu selection can take your tastebuds on a spin. Biscuits and gravy had a nice accent of rosemary to lift that gravy to another level of comfort. One biscuits is huge! The full order is a very large portion easy to share. I liked their take on the classic dishes to make it stand out from the mundane. Welcoming as soon as we approached the door. They hustled with service for our table. I never had to ask for a refill! A feat sometimes hard to achieve. They're a great team working hard to keep their customers satisfied. Indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of room for a large group if you're the first ones to arrive. Other than that be prepared to wait. Convenient street parking available. Would definitely return when I need a good breakfast hug. read more

This is definitely one of my top places to get country fried steak for breakfast. Their country fried steak is SO good, it's the reason I keep coming back.

Highly recommending trying this spot out for breakfast/brunch as I am recommending one use the Yelp waitlist. Place was packed for a Saturday ~10am, despite the immense indoor and outdoor seating options. We were promptly seated outdoors, near elbow to elbow with our neighboring diners ( which was oddly a complete vibe given the good company we happened upon ). Among the great convos we had with our neighbors came the personal recc of the chilaquiles burrito, what was a personal first for me. I enjoyed that the burrito wasn't overly wet, leaving the chips inside to remain their delicious crunch. The beans were prepared well, and not overly wet, again allowing one to properly differentiate between the soft and crunchy textures going on. My girlfriend ordered the breakfast platter, fit with perfectly crisp turkey bacon and truly blueberry pancakes. My goodness were the ratios of blueberry to pancake immaculate as were the pancakes fluffy. The potatoes accompanying the meal were also cooked well, not overly crispy, but sturdy enough to soak in the gentle aromatic seasonings. TLDR: true diner chaos with generous food packed with flavor read more

I have lived in the area for the longest and always wanted to try Mille's because it looks like a great little neighborhood spot. My daughter and I went in around 11am on Monday Feb 9, 2026. I had the Spanish Omelet with hash browns. The omelet comes with a red salsa and a biscuit. The omelet came out really quick and looked delicious. Despite coming out quickly, my omelet was cold. The omelet, hash browns, and salsa were very bland tasting. My daughter had the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. She only ate about 1/4 of her cheese burger and hardly any of her fries. I did not ask her if she like her food, but I got the impression that she did not. I was somewhat disappointed because I expected great food, which is usually the case from these small local neighborhood spots. I will come back and try something else one day, but not any time soon. The service was very good. The waiters that served us were nice, polite, and attentive. And the ambiance of Millie's was really nice. However, the food needs tobe on par with the ambiance. read more

Food was good overall. The line was much longer than Yelp predicted, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. There also isn't a designated waiting area, which means you'll likely be standing outside in the sun while you wait.

If you want to have great morning conversations with friends and family this is the place. They have the best customer service and ambiance is second to none. Parking is okay as it's street parking.

Lovely to sit outside under the covered patio! Prepare to wait, but know that it's worth it. After ordering, the food arrived quickly! I got the breakfast croissant . It was everything I wanted - thick ham, crisp lettuce, soft fluffy croissant, and an amazing sauce (similar to hollandaise). The rosemary potatoes were EXCELLENT! So flavorful! I want to cook them at home the exact way they did. I enjoyed the pistachio honey latte, but I would ask for less honey next time. It was a little too sweet for my preference, still very tasty. Service was friendly and staff were quick. read more

Whenever I search up brunch places in 626 area, this particular restaurant always pops up with many great reviews. As such, I decided to try it out and sadly, I was disappointed with the quality of food here. Parking is quite difficult in Pasadena, especially this location. The lot is small but thankfully I found street parking further down the street and had to walk a bit. This place is SO crowded, and best to join the waitlist on Yelp ahead of time. There isn't much seating inside and it's quite cramped and loud there. We ordered the following foods: 1) Eggs Benedict: 3/10 This was sooo sad. I've heard mixed reviews about their Benedict. Unfortunately mine were overcooked and the biscuit was HARD. I had to literally eat it separate from the eggs and they were very stale. Potatoes were mediocre too. 2) French Toast: 4/10 French toast was not the typical. The bread they used seemed way different compared to other places I've tried. Thankfully we just ordered two slices because it was a let-down. I felt like I could have made this toast. 3) Monkey Banana: 7/10 This was the best item we had ordered. The banana and walnuts, along with the chocolate chips, definitely elevated the pancake from just an original one to chewy and moist. Overall I wouldn't come back again to wait in that long line. Service is good and fast though, but the food doesn't live up to it. read more
