Had a great time eating out with friends--the ambiance was lovely and the food was really good. Service was a bit slow, because it was Sunday, but overall still a solid 8/10 experience. read more

Voilà! Je viens de découvrir un petit resto français vraiment charmant à Pasadena... et honnêtement, j'y pense encore. Tu sais, il y a plein de restos français en Californie, mais celui-là est différent. Plus intime, plus sincère. On était une table de huit, et à un moment donné, le proprio est venu nous saluer. Un geste tout simple, mais tellement chaleureux et élégant. Ce genre d'accueil, ça ne s'oublie pas. Les serveurs et l'hôte sont tout aussi charmants, super accueillants, attentionnés, avec une belle énergie. Il nous a raconté qu'il est arrivé de France après le secondaire, puis qu'il a ouvert cet endroit après ses études. Il y a quelque chose de discrètement admirable là-dedans. Et maintenant, ils pensent déjà à s'agrandir... peut-être deux autres adresses à Atwater Village. Très bien. Le menu est plutôt style déjeuner/brunch--léger, bien portionné, rien de trop. Mais l'ambiance... c'est vraiment là que ça brille. Douce, cozy, pleine de charme. Les œuvres aux murs viennent de France, et ça donne une vraie âme à l'endroit, ça se ressent. Je dois dire que c'est assez rare que je ressente une ambiance aussi chaleureuse dans un resto français. On se sent accueilli, un peu comme chez quelqu'un. Pour huit personnes, environ 300 $, c'est vraiment raisonnable pour une expérience comme ça. Si tu passes dans le coin, ça vaut vraiment la peine d'y arrêter. Bravo Oh La La... à bientôt read more

Super trendy vibe .... Walked in for a quick coffee break , seemed crowded and noisy . Ordered a latte to go , with one barista working the coffee bar with a lot of patrons didn't seem a little ideal during lunch time . Also noticed that she was trying to keep with a lot of orders all the while being polite to the patron chit chattering with her. The latte was alright ... had a tangy taste which I didn't dig much and it was a little pricy for $7 for a to go. Interestingly enough they serve tiramisu... I always wonder how Italian desserts taste at a French restaurant.... I'll give them another go ....maybe ..... if I feel in the mood for expensive. read more

Definitely ohhhhh la la!! Loved the plants outside before entering. My friend & I were greeted and sat right away for Saturday for breakfast at 11 am. I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful restaurant!! The restaurant had hanging flowers (artificial) and the beautiful artwork on a white brick wall. It felt like we were on a coastal vacation. Brandon was our server and he was so nice and cheerful! I ordered an iced brown sugar cinnamon latte with almond milk with French toast. The drink was delicious and the French toast with berry sauce was the best I have ever had. The bread was fresh and moist. I ate it all baby!!! We also checked out the adorable hallway that led to the restrooms. 4 stars because parking was challenging to find and they charged $1.00 extra for adding almond milk to my drink. However, we will back for more memories. read more

Overview Oh La La French Cafe and Bakery -- A cozy French café and bakery offering brunch favorites, pastries, and coffee. Ambience (4/5) Simple and relaxed with a touch of French charm. Not overly fancy, but pleasant for a casual brunch. Food (4.5/5) The eggs Benedict stands out--the ham is a thick, high-quality cut that clearly feels chef-prepared, not your typical deli slice. The poached egg and hollandaise are rich and well-executed. The side salad is fresh with a generous portion, balancing the dish nicely. Pastries are crispy, lightly sweet, and not overwhelming. Overall, the food is very well done. The cappuccino, however, is just average. Pricing & Value (4/5) Good pricing for the quality and portion sizes--solid value overall. Services (4.5/5) Friendly and efficient service that enhances the experience without feeling overbearing. Summary Oh La La delivers strong brunch dishes--especially the eggs Benedict--with quality ingredients and good value.

Came here on a Sunday with my cousins to catch up. We happened upon this place because it was a middle meeting point for each of us. I am so glad we came here because it's so gorgeous and inviting. I love aesthetically please places that feel warm and inviting. It's even better when the food supersedes the vibes. I ordered a Bellini which was super yummy. I wanted to try something different with my food selection so with the help of the waitress, I ordered the burguignon casserole. It's shortrib, english peas, carrots and crimini mushrooms. It's was the most delicious hearty dish I have had in a long while. It was simple amazing. The menu has so many options and they all look very delectable. I can't wait to return to try other pastries and entree items. read more

A cute and cozy bakery and cafe in Pasadena. Lots of croissants, freshly baked bread and coffee. Also a sit down lunch area that very pleasant. I got a plain croissant and an iced latte to go but will be back to dine here cause their menu looked really good. The croissant was ok but the latte very watery and I had to throw it away after a few sips. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. Busy on weekend I can tell. So maybe I'll come back for lunch during the week and update my review. Overall a very nice lance to dine at read more

I've been meaning to stop by for a while! I Oh La La is such a cute spot where you can either order up by the register or you can sit down and order from your table, which I find very convenient, especially for people who are more introverted. Both the interior and exterior are quite picturesque. The few people I spoke to today were really helpful and kind. Service was top tier in my opinion. The brown sugar cinnamon latte was so well balanced and not too sweet, which I prefer anyway. It also came out super fast. I got there kinda late, so they didn't have a lot of pastries left. But I did get to try both the maple sea salt scone & blueberry scone, and both were amazing. I personally love scones so I'm so glad I tried these. I appreciate that the maple scone wasn't overly salty, but you still got a hint of it. I'll be back here (: great place to come and journal for a bit etc. read more

We visited Oh La La for the first time on a Sunday around 9:30am and we were seated right away. When you walk in, you're greeted by the host and asked whether you're dining in or joining the bakery line. We chose to dine in and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is nicely decorated! Our server was super kind and attentive. I ordered the Morning Plate which comes with eggs, potatoes, and toast. I added bacon for an additional fee. It was delicious! I also ordered an iced matcha latte which was good as well. Each table has a bakery menu if you'd like to order pastries to go which is really convenient. I can't wait to go back and try one of their pastries! read more

My third time here. I LOVED my first 2 experiences and I'm not sure if there's new management, a new chef, or what the heck. But this was bad enough to make me not want to come back. I will give a star for excellent customer service. Everyone has been sweet and our serve was nice. But the food. Yall. Let's start with the pastries. Hard and overbaked. The almond croissant was burnt to say the least. The chocolate chip cookie was tough as can be. Then the food. Brisket eggs Benedict and steak and eggs. The brisket was not too bad. But the bread they used was beyond soggy and not something I liked. I ordered medium rare steak and it was overcooked to say the least. read more

The ambiance is very bright and floral. It does not give a restaurant vibe it gives more of a cafe vibe. The bakery has fantastic chocolate croissants and other delicious goods. We ordered the eggs Benedict, a fresh French baguette , and a shashuka. All were so vibrant and tasty. Eggs were perfect and runny. Tomato sauce had a small kick but was so tasty. read more

Ordering system needs work. Sending people up to the pastry counter while also having to wait at the table to order off the main menu was so messy. Our waiter seemed all over the place but was otherwise nice. We had a larger group (8) and were seated at an empty table for 6 in a corner. They would not move the table for 2 that was directly next to ours closer , even though there was no walkway or service areas impeded. It was kind of ridiculous. Two people ended up going elsewhere for breakfast. The food was fine, good breakfast potato's, horrible jam for the toast. No butter provided and the toast wasn't buttered. French toast was burnt. Pastries were good, and we enjoyed the featured hot cross buns. read more

Delicious variety of Parisian bakery located in Pasadena. This cafe is a hidden gem offering their signature almond croissants, monkey bread, chocolate croissants, butter croissants, orange cranberry rolls and a vast array of options. The cappuccino and latte are fantastic. Love the open kitchen concept. Will come back with my parents again - service is excellent read more

My wife and I visited Oh La La Café in Pasadena on a weekend morning, hoping for a cozy French-style breakfast experience. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated -- not terrible, for a late Saturday afternoon. The table next to us ordered the eggs Benedict, breakfast platter, and French toast, and while I try not to judge a dish by its color palette... everything was a consistent shade of beige. Tan, brown toast, khaki potatoes -- the kind of color story that screams "sepia filter" more than "French café." That said, my breakfast burrito was the plot twist I didn't see coming. Surprisingly delicious -- wonderfully eggy (in a good, brunchy way), not bogged down by filler potatoes, and brightened by sautéed peppers, onions, and a punchy salsa verde that tied it all together. My wife's egg-and-cheese croissant was fine, though not exactly whispering ooh la la either. We spent $33 before tax and tip for those two items, which feels steep for what you get. And as a bonus round of irritation, their QR payment system "suggests" tips after tax -- a subtle but mildly obnoxious move. Overall, Oh La La has potential if they could breathe a little life (and color) into their presentation and service. For now, it's less Paris café magic and more boring brunch. read more

Mixed berry matcha is nice but doesn't have a strong matcha flavor nor berry notes. 4/10 Mushroom Stroganoff- 8/10 Yummy and creamy pasta with bits of mushroom crisps . A perfect mushroom dish that isn't too overpowering and comforting. Sauce perfectly coats the pasta and isn't too saucy. Pumpkin Pie Almond Croissant- 7/10 For a tasty croissant, this isn't overly sweet which is perfect. The almond and pumpkin seeds add a bit of texture but it's rather cooked down instead of warm. The pumpkin pie paste is good and has a good portion of breading and filling. We were seated quickly and our waitress was nice. Lots of tables and a bright and open airy space with cute decor. Parking is a bit hard so it's best to find street parking. read more

Made a pit stop at Oh La La for lunch with a friend. For starters, despite being a Tuesday afternoon, parking was fairly difficult to find unless you're willing to walk several blocks. At least it was free, though! I was surprised that they had just opened their indoor dining area, but I knew I just had to try their Brioche Eggs Benedict. This was indeed a treat that I rarely consider. I can't say that it was the best I ever had, but every part of the eggs benedict was tasty and perfectly seasoned. (Yes, that means not oversalted, too!) My friend had their Potato Gravalax. The potatoes were the perfect roast, and the salmon was tasty as well. Both were the perfect light brunch items. We also had their iced lattes, which had a remarkable flavor. The beans were subtly sweet and a medium boldness, just enough to be noticeable but not dark enough to be bitter or strong. The staff were present, as was the service, and this was indeed a nice brunch spot. From the entrance to the tables, everything was well decorated to provide a nice "under the sunlit trees in a cabin" kind of ambiance. The most remarkable were their clean restrooms and decor - as funny as it sounds. read more

I've driven by this place a handful of times and there is always a line out the door. I finally stopped by today to take some pastries to-go. The atmosphere inside was really cool. However, I wasn't impressed with the pastries (pain au chocolat, kouign-mann, and bechamel bread/croissant). They didn't taste fresh or doughy. I also tried a hot chocolate which was pretty bland. read more

Update: WOWOWOW. The Mediterranean tartine is absolutely fantastic. This new addition to their menu is now my go-to. The generous amount of labneh over fresh ciabatta combined with the dill, feta, and poached egg makes for the most savory and delicious tartine. This place is just getting better and better. Best breakfast spot by far 11/10 read more

Breakfast. It is about 8am on a Friday. We are staying across the street in the Pasadena Hotel. A chocolate almond croissant and breakfast croissant, ham & cheese. Both were excellent. Having just returned from a trip to France staying in Paris, Lyon, Dordogne, Bordeaux and Biarritz, we say the baked goods here are top notch and as good as any we had overseas. Service was solicitous, cheerful and efficient. The place was very clean. You order at the counter as you pass by all the bakery goods then they bring your order to your table. Ambiance is very nice. Artwork hanging everywhere. Plenty of room at the tables and booths. They also serve wine and spirits and have live music on the weekends. There were a few families, couples and singleton's doing work on laptops. A very comfy setting. I also got an avocado toast with an egg. It was quite large. Very tasty. A pic is attached. We could have split it. We will return during our stay. Mark & Nancy. read more

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and had a very positive experience! The restaurant is very cute inside and we had very attentive and timely service. I had the brioche eggs Benedict, which was very tasty with a perfectly runny egg. I really liked the brisket on it, but I do think the hollandaise sauce could have been more flavorful. My friends had the Mediterranean bowl and the breakfast burrito, which they both enjoyed. I also had the rose latte, which was decent but not to the level of a coffee shop. The price made me believe it would be coffee shop level. read more

The almond croissant here is amazing. Came for a quick brunch meal. I was offered pastries and I asked for the most popular croissant. The server recommended the Almond Croissant and it went above and beyond my expectations. There was some creamy filling that really made my day. The breakfast burrito with added bacon was a bit under expectations though. The salsa didn't pack enough of a taste although the burrito did have a good amount of egg, I felt like overall the burrito was too clean. read more

Lovely ambiance! I especially love the mirror hallway by the bathrooms haha. The food is decent for brunch but I don't know if I would come back necessarily for the food. It's also on the pricier side. The steak and eggs came highly recommended in other reviews and was big enough to be shared with two people, but I think the steak lacked flavor and we asked for scrambled eggs but it was served more like an omelette. My friend's caesar salad wrap had one half completely soaked in the dressing so the wrap was extremely soggy. Servers were friendly and you order first at the counter. read more

I have been wanting to try this for so long and I'm go glad I have. The space is an immersive bright and airy wonderland, with lush greenery cascading from above creating a vibrant botanical vibe. They have a brunch menu along with pastries galore to follow. We ordered: - The Breakfast Burrito - The Wild Mushroom Tartine - The Morning Plate, Add Bacon + $4.00 - Chocolate Chip Cookies X2 - Spinach, Artichoke & Feta Croissant Everything we ordered was flavorful & delicious.

I stopped by Oh La La La in Pasadena near my job and instantly fell in love. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, cozy, and welcoming. It is not loud or chaotic, which makes it perfect for a relaxed brunch, a solo reset, or even a casual meeting. I ordered the Brioche Eggs Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. Light, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It was not overly heavy, which I actually appreciated, because I could enjoy every bite without feeling stuffed. I also tried the French onion soup without the cheese since I am lactose sensitive, and it was still incredibly rich and satisfying. That broth alone speaks for itself. The fresh orange juice deserves its own moment. You can taste that it is freshly squeezed, bright, and refreshing. No watered down flavor, just pure citrus goodness. The staff is very pleasant and attentive, and while the food does take a little time, you can tell it is made with care. Plus, the pastries are so delicious they make the wait completely worth it. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared, not rushed. This is definitely a new favorite for me. Great food, peaceful vibe, quality ingredients, and friendly service. I will absolutely be back, and next time I am bringing someone with me. read more

Came here for a brunch on a Tuesday. At 12pm they were out of their special salmon gravlax and out of steak and eggs. The cashier was very nice. Ambience is cute, the decor is very bright and chic, some table have natural sunlight. Croque monsieur is just a normal toasted ham & cheese sandwich. The breakfast burrito was plain, unless you spread the spicy salsa on it for flavor. And the egg benedict was the most interesting since the ham tasted better than in the Croque monsieur. Overall, it's cute place to chill for pastries and coffee, but would probably pass on brunch next time. read more

This place popped out on Yelp so I thought I'd stop by for breakfast. I ended up buying way too much because it's all so beautiful. My initial orders were just ok. I paid like $18 for the TARTINE. I may be uncultured swine but I thought it would be more than mushrooms on toast. The bread was the Star, it had good flavor. I was underwhelmed. Looking at the menu, they forgot the burrata on it. My MATCHA LATTE with oat milk tasted only like oat milk. Couldn't taste any matcha. I was disappointed. Now to the goods! THE GOAT CHEESECAKE was fantastic! Definitely a hint of good tangy goat and I deem it my favorite cheesecake ever now. To add to its greatness, the blueberry sauce was tasty. I didn't think I'd need the sauce but it really was the perfect addition. I also got the DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE. It was perfect. Not too sweet and so delicious. I will dream about this cookie! My start was a bit rocky but the desserts will keep me coming back! I'll try something else from the menu next time. I'm all for second chances! read more

This is my second time visiting this cafe/restaurant. We went to have brunch with some friends. I would have gave 5 stars but the service sucked. The servers barely came around. I had to ask Multiple times for the same things until I finally got it. We got the fresh swueexed orange juice to start with. It was bitter and didn't taste great. It almost feels like they used blood orange instead of regular oranges. The food however was delicious!! My husband and I shared the breakfast burrito with avocado and the croque monsieur!

I picked this place to visit a friend in Pasadena after seeing a couple reviews about how good their food is in their recently opened bakery turned restaurant. I can definitely back that up as everything we ate was really special. This place is one of the rare places I feel you can go to today and feel that your money was well worth spent on the food. The berry proseco drink was fantastic and has been on my mind ever since. The service was super attentive as well and they even gave everyone a complimentary box of pastries left over from the bakery on their way out. The live jazz was a really nice touch as well especially during this cozy holiday season, although sometimes the drums could be a bit loud for the smaller space. read more

Why oh why does everything look so good?! As soon as I stepped inside the French bakery, I knew I was in trouble. Based on how tempting all of the viennoiseries looked, it came as no surprise to learn that this bakery was launched by a critically acclaimed third generation French baker - like from France; I mean, it doesn't get more authentic than that! Ergo, I had zero doubt that I'd be emptying out my wallet here in one go. How could I not, when they have soooo many choices, all whispering "eat me." Haha. Anyways, here's what I purchased, after reminding myself not to go overboard - and let me tell you, the struggle was real! 1. Sea Salt Maple scone - 4/5 2. Blueberry scone - 4/5 3. Kouign Amann - pass; I've had better. 2/5 4. Monkey Bread - 3/5 5. Spinach, Artichoke, & Feta croissant - 5/5 6. Ham, Cheese, & Bechamel croissant - 5/5 The croissants were phenomenal, and I'll definitely be going back for more. I also want to check out their brunch or dinner service since the space itself is stunning, with a chic interior design and plenty of seating inside. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

I really want to like this place but... Came in on Friday around 11am for brunch. had the French Onion Soup, Croque Monsieur and Potato Gravlax. Overall, quite disappointing for the price point. French Onion Soup: overly salty for $16. Croque Monsieur: The salad on the side for was drenched with over seasoned dressing, no thanks. The main dish itself was quite delicious for $23. Potatoes Gravlax: a very delicious 1"x4" layered potato topped with salmon and cream cheese for $22. it was a "been there done that" kinda experience. considering it was a very causal setting, I can't really justify the price. But the entire place is very comfortable and nicely decorated. It is a good place for a pastry and coffee/tea. Just not for their brunch, i wouldn't even consider try their lunch/dinner menu. read more

I came here for breakfast and to work on my homework, and I loved the place from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a very cozy and beautiful interior.

He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable. That level of service really stood out. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Salmon and it was incredibly delicious -- their signature sauce was outstanding and full of flavor. I also tried the strawberry matcha croissant (or pastry), and it was something new for me -- truly unique and very tasty. Overall, a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Their brunch menu is fantastic. Very pricy, but typical for Pasadena brunch. I got the croque monsieur and thought the sandwich was really well balanced with the ham and cheese textures. Adding the egg was a whole $3, but it was fried perfectly to mix the yolk with the sandwich, and they added parsley as well. The breakfast burrito is also a solid choice too, and the chili sauce it comes with adds a lot more flavor without being too spicy. On the other hand, their matcha latte is mid. The taste of the powder was really bland and the milk had a hard texture. They present the matcha powder on top of the milk which you'd have to mix yourself. I'm not sure if the matcha powder was sifted enough or if not having a matcha whisk made for the texture to not be smooth at all. There were clumps of matcha powder floating in the milk. The pastries will largely depend on what you get. I tried their plain croissant, kouign amann and strawberry-matcha pastry, and the latter was my favorite. Texture wise, it was the best of the 3. It was crunchy on the outside and chewy inside. Couldn't really taste the matcha, but the strawberry slices were a nice touch. I thought the croissant wasn't very crunchy and the kouign amann too sticky from the sugar and not chewy at all, despite being very crunchy on the outside. read more
