This spot is fantastic for breakfast! Just a heads-up--you'll want to arrive early to beat the rush, but trust me, the wait is absolutely worth it. Pro tip: check out the menu while you're waiting so you can order as soon as you're seated and save some time. Overall, I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back. If you're in Pasadena, this is a must-visit! read more

Came here on a weekend and make sure to wailist your group on yelp, depending how early you come here. There are a lot of seating inside and outside. I ordered the Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich on sourdough bread with sweet potato fries. The sandwich itself is decent and filling. The sweet potato can be fried a bit longer but still tasty. Hubby ordered the Chilaquiles Benedict and the chilaquiles itsellf was delicious and the egg on top mad eit really good. The only down side is the English muffin at the bottom. It is very saugy and didn't taste like English muffin in my opinion. Then we shared the single blueberry pancake. The pancake here is delicious. The batter they make is very tasty and I would come back for the pancakes. Overall great brunch place, if you are wanting breakfast food in the afternoon. read more

Though the wait staff is incredibly courteous and provides excellent service, the prices are outrageous. Avocado toast used to be somewhat reasonable and now for a single slice of toast with some avocado, one cherry tomato and some pickled onion, including a tip, the total closes in on $20. God forbid I want to add an egg, then I need to add another four dollars to that. read more

It's crazy that I've never rated Millie's before. This is our family's favorite place to go for breakfast (and their lunch is great too). We come with our small boys, and it's a comfortable family place. Everything we have tried here is delicious, the food comes out quickly, and they have a great coffee selection. I particularly recommend getting a biscuit. They also have a big vegan section of the menu, so everyone can really find something great to eat. The wait can get long sometimes, but the Yelp waitlist really helps. I wish every restaurant was like Millie's. read more

Oh my goodness. Millie's is the absolute best breakfast I've had in a while. The French toast was perfectly sweet and fluffy and the rosemary potatoes were a dream. The wait was a little crazy however the speediness of service and the food quality really made up for it. Definitely a good spot for groups for Sunday brunch, just make sure to make a reservation or join the virtual waitlist before arriving. read more

Met my favorite girls here on 1/31/25 & we were all pleasantly surprised ! Service 10/10, thank you to the very accommodating staff for letting us switch our table to another one we preferred (toward the corner with more privacy). The made our iced coffees to each of our liking. Mind you we were there on a Friday afternoon, it was very busy and not once did staff rush us or not make us feel welcome. My girls and I were there for about 4 hours ( the tea was juicy ) !!! & let me tell you about the food ! Lawd, these pancakes, BOMB, the hash browns 20/10 and the sausage, DELICIOUS. Once again thank you to all the very friendly, hard working staff. I can't wait to go back ! read more

Love Millie's ! Just a cute nice clean deli style cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great variety of breakfast and lunch food - delicious and fresh, servers are always nice and attentive... I wish there was one closer to me! Will always come back when I'm in pasadena read more

The corn beef hash was amazing. The service was super fast, beautiful day in Pasadena helped the ambiance. Highly recommend, will be back next week. read more

Food and drinks were fine, but the host staff made my party feel unwelcome and rushed. I fully understand that this is a busy restaurant and respect the policy of seating only once the entire party has arrived. That wasn't an issue. We weren't allowed to wait comfortably inside for our last guest, were asked to move multiple times while others weren't (while trying to stay dry under the awning because it was lightly raining), and then were told to leave shortly after finishing our food by the same host staff because they needed our table. We were not lingering for long, we just wanted to finish our drinks. Servers were excellent, but the overall experience was soured by the lack of professionalism and warmth at the host stand. read more

Huge vegan menu and large portions. Wait can be long the weekend but worth it. The breakfast burrito was full of flavor. read more

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

My boyfriend had gotten the date cordamom latte iced and the slutty bun! The drink was semi sweet and he had substituted the 2% milk with almond milk. The slutty bun was with sausage link for the meat option, the bun was super soft, eggs were savory, the sausage added a sweet element, and avocado is always a good idea. A touch of hot sauce completely elevated this! I had gotten the blue majik latte and the new famous breakfast burrito! My drink was not overly sweet and the coconut milk wasn't overpowering. I got my breakfast burrito with turkey bacon, there was avacado in every bite, the tater tots were crisp and crunchy. The green salsa it came with wasn't spicy, just flavorful, so I had some on every bite! We were sat immediately upon arriving, the staff were warm and welcoming and the atmosphere was busy but friendly. There w were many coffee options, as well as breakfast and lunch. Also there was a whole page in the menu that were for vegan breakfast options. They have really good outdoor seating options that are completely shaded if you don't feel like eating inside. This place was amazing and I'll be back! read more

3.5 star food with 1 star service I have never written such a negative review before, but this was truly one of the worst restaurant experiences of my life--and it ruined what was supposed to be a birthday celebration for my little brother. For context, I've been a loyal recurring patron both in person and on delivery apps because of the restaurant's allergen-friendly menu. I was genuinely excited to bring my family here for the first time, especially since they offer gluten-free pancakes and vegan options that I tried and enjoyed on a prior visit. Sadly, the ownership and customer service left us frustrated, embarrassed, and scrambling to feed our kids elsewhere in 90-degree heat. Here's what happened: * I called days in advance to ask about reservations and was told they don't take them, but I could use their Yelp waitlist to avoid unnecessary waiting with infants and small children. That's exactly what I did. * Upon arriving, I was told my group had already checked in (not true), then told I was removed from the list for being "late," even though it had only been ~35 minutes since I added my name from home. * The host--who I later learned was the owner, Yvette--refused to re-add me, then added me only to "prove" how long it had been, and promptly removed me again. She was dismissive, overwhelmed, and unwilling to help resolve the situation. * When I pressed politely to clarify whether we were back at the end of the line or could be accommodated, she not only refused to take responsibility, but also warned she might not seat us at all because of an unrelated "bad experience" with someone else she thought might be in our party. I made it clear with her I didn't know who she was referring to. She told me I would have to get added again. I walked away thinking she was handling it but then saw I was no longer on the screen and was removed from the list. I questioned why she would do that knowing we were still waiting in line outside the door and she said she said she removed us because 3x she said our table was ready and that a man told her we weren't ready. Again, what man!? I added myself again to the list, walked toward the crosswalk to get my water bottle from the car since it was going to be a long wait and she approached me a final time to tell me she was getting my table ready but if she saw that man was on our party she would refuse service. My family was beside me and she said not you guys but if I see him this is my restaurant and I won't seat someone who was rude to me. At that point I had had enough of trying to basically beg to be waitlisted so I looked at my family and we decided to leave. I didn't have an opportunity tell her my decision as she walked away again with her threats. What a confusing upsetting situation. I was no longer interested in eating her and I couldn't gamble waiting longer and extending the time my kids were unfed in the heat while she kept changing her mind. By this point, my family--including two babies and three kids--had been left waiting, unfed, and humiliated. We had no choice but to leave and find food elsewhere. This was not just poor service--it was unprofessional, confusing, and frankly hostile. Instead of celebrating a birthday breakfast, I left angry, in tears, and guilty for dragging my family through this mess. As a mother, I would never recommend this restaurant to families with children. If the owner cannot separate her personal frustrations from how she treats paying customers, she should hire a professional host. Watching her shoo older patrons away from the entrance like cattle only confirmed that this was not an isolated lapse in judgment. Bottom line: this restaurant lost my business permanently--no more in-person visits, no more delivery orders. I would advise others to spend their money where families are treated with respect, not suspicion or contempt. read more

Such a great place for brunch. I love coming here as a vegan with non vegan family or friends as there is something delicious we can all have! Everything I've had has been yummy! read more

As much as I love the food and come pretty often, the way they handle the waitlist now is not efficient at all. The wait time is inaccurate and they push through certain parties they feel fit instead of going off of the waitlist and keeping it a first come first serve basis. This makes the waitlist extremely inaccurate especially for people with only 2 parties. They try and prioritize bigger parties by putting the 2 tops together so party of 4 is who has been waiting less than a party of 2 will be seated first. The waitlist will tell me it is only a 10-15 minute wait when I end up waiting 40mins-1hour instead. I get they have big parties and everyone needs to be accommodated but either they need to keep it fair and go down the list as intended or update the wait time to be more accurate. read more

The food here gave me full-on granny's home-cooked breakfast vibes in the best way possible. Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and like it was made with care. You can tell they put love into their dishes. The only downside is that it gets very busy, and the seating is pretty tight, so it might not be ideal if you're not a fan of crowds. Still, I'd definitely come back. read more

I came here with a friend on a weekday for brunch and we were seated immediately. Despite being seated outside, staff were attentive and took our order quickly. I got the lox benedict, which I enjoyed! Portions were good, and I loved the smoked salmon flavor. That being said, it was $18.99 which I found pricier than other brunch places I've been to. I while the outside was comfortable, the table was a bit small for my liking. We were basically seated on the sidewalk, so the traffic noise got a bit loud at times. I also was not a fan of the parking-- there's free lot parking close by but it's an extremely difficult to manage space (especially if you have a bigger car). Would rate this place 3.5 stars for the overall experience! read more

Came here for breakfast at around 9AM on a Friday morning and the restaurant was packed. There is indoor as well as outdoor seatings. Millies offers a wide range of breakfast items from savory to sweet. They also have multiple vegan items as well. We ordered the lox benedict, devil's mess scrambled eggs and a monkey banana pancake. The lox benedict was ok and nothing too special. Not sure if it's worth the $17. The devil's mess comes with hashbrowns and their specialty biscuit. The biscuit was delicious. Hash browns was ok. Its only available Mon-Fri. The monkey banana pancake has chocolate chip, banana, and walnut. The pancake was good but probably needs a little more chocolate chips. Parking: street park or park at a nearby plaza and walk over. read more

Millie's has great food, great service, and a great ambiance. Just so you are aware there is always a wait here. But it is always worth it. They pack the place out and use the sidewalk to set up tables for food service. Definitely worthy checking this place out. read more

Gf and I was craving breakfast on a late Sunday morning, and saw Millie's had a 75 min wait we still put our name on the waitlist. It's very impressive how efficiently this restaurant turns tables I got the Devils mess and a pistachio matcha latte with soy. Both items were very flavorful, portions are on point and food doesn't feel very heavy at all Gf got the Lox Benedict and an iced lavender latte, she was also impressed. Waiters are very attentive, food arrives much quicker than we anticipated especially with the amount of people that was here. We would definitely recommend this place, but make sure you come early to avoid the crowd and long wait! read more

Cutest restaurant with great service and really yummy food. So many options to pick from including some great vegan choices and I'm not even vegan! My favorite are the Ricotta pancakes and the matcha latte! The family is so kind and works so hard! Love a good mom and pop! read more

There is one advice I would give besides highly recommending Millie's for breakfast and that is join the waitlist through the Yelp app. You will be way ahead of all the walk ups. Food review AMAZING!! Delicious tasty meal. Scrambled eggs were a little over cooked. Spicy Italian sausage is very mild. Freshly squeezed OJ was so satisfying. Scrumptious meal. Will come back if in area!! read more

Cute breakfast/brunch place. Very quick service. Lots of gluten free options. Had a nice breakfast here. I had the forage omelette with gluten free toast and potatoes. It was good, favorite part was the potatoes. My friend's husband had the Denver omelette with their homemade biscuit and he said the biscuit was really good and he also liked the potatoes. My friend got the matcha bowl and really like it. It seems to be a very popular place but they are very fast and efficient with knowledgeable staff. Lots of vegan options as well so most things in the menu can be made gluten free. read more

Ordered the pistacho ice coffee with LIGHT ice. When i received the coffee, 1/2 the class was ice. I asked waitress if that was light ice as i had asked for light ice.

We had a wonderful breakfast experience. Started off with coffee (for me and my hubby) and chocolate milk (for my son). We got 2 orders of The Usual. I got mine with waffles and he got his with French toast. It was soooo filling. It comes with 2 eggs (was asked how do you want them?) and either a choice of hashbrowns or home style potatoes and one side. Overall, the food here was delicious. Service was attentive and fast. We were seated upon arrival so there was no wait time. Will definitely be back! read more

I love this place! I'm obsessed honestly. I've passed by this place a lot since I go next door for pilates and frequent Lark often as well, however I never thought of trying it. I finally tried and OMG it's delicious! I love that you could Yelp waitlist as you don't have to wait as long at the restaurant and can just stay at home or in your car as you wait. There is plenty of outdoor seating which is super pet friendly! They gave my dog a water bowl as well. We ordered a Irish Benedict, matcha watermelon, crab Benedict, biscuits and gravy, and red eye. The benedicts were both amazing! I felt the Irish one was better but both were chefs kiss. The matcha watermelon however, I would not recommend. The watermelon flavor was so artificial. Think melted jolly rancher syrup in a matcha mix. It was gross. Everything else was good. There was a couple mixups in terms of organization as servers would bring things to the wrong table often. We had to tell them a couple times we didn't order this. I will be back!! read more

I am shocked. With all the line the food was not as expected. Could be my high expectations. The waffles was so dense. I'm used to typically softer fluffier batter but it was like eating a hard doughnut. It was So I'm tasty that I couldn't finish the last two. Presentation was great although I did not like can whip cream versus fresh whipped cream on top. The blueberry felt like it was from a can versus fresh berries. It was a terrible start. The one thing I can say that was great it was the house coffee and Americano. If you'd like it strong, this is actually pretty good! Parking pretty easy as they have parking lot behind as well as across the street and on the street. No charge for parking as it is Pasadena. Coming from West LA this such a nice relief! read more

Millie's has quickly become my go-to brunch spot with friends. Despite its popularity and crowds, the wait time has never exceeded 30 minutes (depending on your party size of course). They manage to keep things running smoothly without making you feel rushed. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, catering to any mood or weather. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. My personal favorite has been their chilaquiles, but I've started branching out, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any dish on the menu. Their drink selection is also worth exploring read more
