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

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

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! The croque madame was exceptional!! Will definitely be back for that! read more

Oh La La is super cute and perfect for a cozy brunch or coffee date. They have a lot of delicious baked goods--I tried the goat cheese cake, and it was amazing, and the croissants were huge, buttery, and so good. Service was quick and very friendly. It is self seating, and they'll give you a number for your order and drop it at your table when it's ready. The drinks are delicious, and they have a nice variety to choose from. I tried the avocado toast, and while the avocado itself was good, the toast was super hard, so I wouldn't get that again. Overall, a great spot if you love pastries and cute brunch vibes, and I'd come back to try more of their baked goods! read more

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

The croissants here are amazing. We tried the almond and chocolate croissants which I find a little bit on the sweet side but I still enjoyed it. It was soggy like the other people said. I ordered a croque monsieur which was so flavorful. My first bite was definitely a WOW. It came with side of salad. I really enjoyed the whole experienced and the vibe. There is a little bit of wait but its worth the time. 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. The lighting is soft and pleasant, which makes it a great spot to sit, relax, and focus. The staff was especially impressive -- my server was incredibly friendly, polite, and attentive. 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

Overall, it's a cute little restaurant. It gives the vibe that I would be living in France. This is what a casual, cozy restaurant would look like. I like the decor setup in the restaurant, and you can see the pastry chefs baking bread and pastries. Overall, the food was good. The steak was a little bit chewy, but you can't expect that much from a skirt steak. The pork belly breakfast dish is a bit rich but overall delicious. The pork belly just bounced in your mouth. The chicken was exceptionally good. I think it's how they prepared it, and the sauce that it swam in gave the chicken a lot of flavor. read more

This former Lovebirds Cafe is now Ooh La La. (FYI, if you still want to eat at Lovebirds, they still have the OG location in Alhambra). Just saying the name puts a smile on my face. I came here with the family for brunch. There's no parking lot, so you're on your own for finding parking on Mentor or another nearby street. They renovated the interior and it's super cute! Upon entry, you'll find a plethora of pastries in the case calling your name. You can choose to order at the counter, or pick up a QR code in a glass holder by the entrance and order online at your table. We chose to order at the counter since I wanted to pick out some pastries with my order. Staff was very friendly and patient with us as we pondered what to order. Food came out pretty quick. My family ordered a variety of items to try: Breakfast Burrito with Bacon - 2/5 Lacked flavor and was underwhelming. The salsa that came with it didn't do much to improve the flavor. It also looked so sad with no side that was offered with this dish. Brioche Eggs Benedict. - 4/5 This tasted pretty good, but the portion was small for being a $20 dish. Breakfast Sandwich - 4/5 The cheese sauce on the sandwich was tasty. French Toast - 10/5 SOOO GOOD! By far the best thing we got and one of the BEST French Toasts I've ever had! The brioche slices were thick cut and cooked to perfection. The whipped cream on top with the fruit was a perfect compliment! Affogato with vanilla gelato - 5/5 I really liked this! Like a coffee milkshake! Maple Sea Salt Latte - 5/5 Yum! As for the pastries, I picked up the sourdough bread, baguette, kouign amann, pain au chocolat, chocolate almond croissant, and spinach, artichoke & feta croissant. These were all 4/5 as well. Good, but I've had better. Overall, my family felt the food was decent but at this price point, we had higher expectations. read more

Oh La La in Pasadena is a lovely café stop. I came during the week and had no line, which was a big plus. There's a great selection of pastries to choose from, and the coffee is strong and excellent, exactly what you want from a spot like this. Prices are a bit higher than your usual café, so it's more of a treat than an everyday stop, but the quality and atmosphere make it worth it. Definitely a nice place to visit when you're in the area read more

Excellent food, service, and bright sunny atmosphere. I stopped in for brunch today and even though it was crowded they found me a seat at the counter. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, shout out to Brandon for giving me a run down of the menu and his favorites. I wound up getting the potato gravlax and the croque madame, both of which were excellent. The croque Madame in particular was perfectly presented with thinly sliced layers of ham and cheese between slices of delicious fresh bread. read more

Oh La La - OHLALA Croque Monsieur - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of downtown Pasadena. Beautiful decor and ambiance. They make all their baked goods in-house from breads, to cookies, to desserts. I say, MAYBE I would recommend this place only because I felt the food and pastries weren't anything that great compared to any other brunch spot. We each ordered an entree, each ordered a coffee drink, and shared a chocolate almond croissant, fig & cranberry pastry, and a tiramisu. I can't speak for the entrees my friends had, but I did have the Croque Madame and it was good. Not, "OMG this is the best croquet madame I ever had!" But just good. Same went for the pastries. They were good. Not great. I would say that the tiramisu lacked in coffee flavor. The coffee they used to soak the lady fingers tasted watered down. But overall, I don't feel that the food was any better than any other local brunch spot. I guess I expected more because it was a French style menu and thought the flavors would really pop and be different. No complaints on the service. Over all, it's not a place I'd crave to come back to. read more

NO parking. all street, goodluck! The ambiance is nice, colorful, floral, lots of artwork, feels like you are in a french cafe. for this place you walk in order and grab a table. I was in on memorial day around 12, not a crowd at all..not many people inside. They have a wide selection of fresh pastries made everyday. I tried the chocolate crossaint and double chocolate chip cookie...omg both were so GOOD. stood in line for a short while and ordered the matcha latte w oat milk, fried spicy chicken sandwich, and french toast. the food comes out so late...for a day that wasn't too busy I was shocked...I wasn't alone, a few couples/families were waiting for their food for a while..some people were complaining..i don't blame them. we waited 45 minutes till our food came out. matcha latte came out quick...i don't reccommend..it didn't taste great...if you are a matcha fanatic..you won't enjoy it. Also my fault for getting matcha at a french restaurant. Should have gotten coffee. The spicy chicken sandwich was crispy, and delicious. I would definitely recommend. The french toast was also amazing! It had a berry compote with fresh berries on top. delicious had me singing oh la la with every bite lol. However I don't understand the plate it came on.it was so..small it made it hard to cut the bread in pieces.. lol. Overall good place, the flavors, and vibe transported me to Paris..the wait times for the food did too. read more

Loved all their variety of baked goods. Second time coming and it was better than the first. We went on a late Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded. Love that the place is pretty spacious and they have seasonal pastries. First you stand in line, order your pastries then move down to the cashier to order your breakfast and pay. Everyone was very courteous. We had a breakfast burrito, mushroom burrata tartine (toast), spinach feta danish, and a cheddar and chive croissant. The breakfast burrito had a little spice to it and big enough to share. The cheddar and chive croissant was flaky. Everything was yummy and the variety allows you to choose savory or sweet or both! They also have bread loaves that you can purchase. We ended up buying additional pastries to take home. read more

Seating: As soon place your order cashier, you can seat yourself with your number placement. It's a lot easier to find an open seat if you're coming with 1-2 people. But if you have 3+ people, there should be one person holding down the table while the rest order. The place is arranged more like a brunch style. Quiche Lorraine (side salad): Only available on the weekend. The pie crust was crispy, and the quiche structure held up very well. The quiche had baked egg with shallots and a light Swiss cheese flavor. Paired with a small salad, this dish is great for a light lunch. Affogato (coconut sorbet): Non-dairy coconut sorbet, lightly iced with deep coconut milk. Very refreshing to get on a summer day. When you mix the espresso shot in the drink, the drink tastes like a frothy dark chocolate drink with a hint of earthy cocoa bean. Kouign Amann: A fusion between a croissant and a palmier. Shaped like a praline, but the top coating was a sugar-glazed croissant. Goat Cheesecake (w/blueberries and drizzle): Lightly scented goat cheese and it's not that strong compared to blue cheese. It's not that sweet compared to American style cheesecake. If you pair it with the blueberries you won't get a lot of goat cheese scent. read more

The atmosphere is really nice, the staff are very friendly. The food: -1. It is a little bit disappointed. The grilled chicken sandwich does not have too much flavor, the bread was too soft. The salad is very very salty, it only has salt and olive oil dressing, a little bit vinegar would be great. The matte strawberry drink, handmade matcha, but the strawberry jam is not good, and it does not have the layered flavor. Cold brew coffee, good! Lemon Bun: I bought one to-go. It's cold at night when I ate it, very oily, not my type. Price: -0.5 As the location of this place, of course it's expensive. Overall, it may be a good place to buy fresh pastry in the morning, or grab a drink (full wine list) in the afternoon. but not a good place for lunch, not too much option on the menu, food flavor is just ok. We came around 1pm on a weekday, empty inside, no waiting. read more

i've now been to oh la la on 3 occasions: coffee with friends, brunch with friends, and breakfast with family. the big standouts for oh la la is the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant! the restaurant/bakery is beautiful inside and totally IG worthy. the people working the pastry case are so kind; the servers during brunch were fine, but not necessarily friendly. the pastries are solid, coffee is good (matcha wasn't great), but i would pass on the breakfast/brunch offerings. i haven't tried their lunch or dinner menu so my review is solely based off of breakfast, brunch, and pastries. read more

I had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. I'll start with the positives.... The inside was super Clean and very cute picture worthy aesthetics. I ordered the matcha latte and avocado toast with a poached egg. The matcha was decent and they have sweeteners on the side you can add if needed. The avocado toast was not it. It tasted like pre-packaged guacamole was spread on top. Honestly, for the price and the flavor it was 1/10. My friend got the almond croissant and double chocolate cookie. I had a piece of each and those were good but not anything overly amazing. The service was mediocre if that- as we sat waiting for our food we noticed the croissant never came out. The waitress told us "you never paid for it" she then comes back with a receipt with the items all over again. She charged my card for the whole order without my consent rather than asking us to pay for the croissant now. Awful- unfriendly and just not kind. I feel there's more mom n pop places in Pasadena with good food, service, and flavor. read more

A great spot for a quick and easy breakfast! We stopped by for brunch, and the line moved surprisingly fast. You're first asked if you'd like any pastries, then you order your main course near the register. I tried a classic croissant and ordered an iced vanilla latte along with the breakfast plate. You get to choose how you'd like your eggs and what kind of toast you prefer. After that, you're given a number and can grab a seat anywhere you like. There are plenty of tables to choose from, plus some outdoor seating if you're in the mood for fresh air or a view of the street. Everything was delicious and felt super fresh. The croissant was flaky with a perfectly light flavor (not too sweet!) and the coffee paired beautifully with it. My eggs were cooked just right (well done, as requested), the potatoes were flavorful, and the toast was a nice finishing touch. Ketchup, jam, and butter are served on the side. Overall, a solid choice for brunch in Pasadena. I'd definitely come back! read more

Nice bakery and brunch spot in Pasadena, just east of Lake Ave on Colorado. Parking is street side, so make sure to arrive a bit early. In line you can order any pastries first, and then move up to the register to order any drinks or food. Tried their Breakfast Burrito which was good. I liked their salsa which was sweeter and less spicy than expected- but enjoyed it! Wish it came with more! Also tried their seasonal fruit tart (pear) which was flaky and flavorful. Got their Maple Sea Salt Latte which was nice, but nothing special in particular. Overall nice place to try if willing to hunt for nearby parking. read more

I love Oh La La and you have to visit. Parking can be hard given that it's off Colorado and Lake but there are usually spots open on Mentor, just around the corner. My favorite part of Oh La La is how unpretentious they are. You can come here with friends, family, a significant other, your pet (to sit outside), and enjoy a wonderful ambiance and delicious pastries. The service is friendly and when they aren't busy, you can always have a nice conversation with the people behind the counter and watch the next batches get made! My one and only critique is that the hot menu food is hit or miss (as in some items on a plate are super good and others are not great). Granted, I haven't tried everything but the few things that I have tried have had elements I thought could be elevated such as the bread on the breakfast sandwich and the potatoes they serve on the side. But if you're looking for pastries or want to treat yourself to some fresh loaves of bread, please do - this is a great cafe/bakery. read more

The vibes were immaculate. The space felt intimate and stylish with beautiful decor, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. We came on a Friday night at 8:30 PM with a reservation for five. Unfortunately, they were out of some of the dishes we were most excited to try, like the lasagna and beef bourguignon pie, which was a bit disappointing. I ordered the steak frites, which was cooked perfectly rare and very tender. The sauce had good flavor but was a little too salty for my taste. My favorite parts of the night were the charred broccolini and the croissant bread pudding for dessert. read more

Stopped here on a whim passing by. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the pastries were beautiful. I ended up coming back later that day start learning they have live Jazz on Thursdays. Super cute and such a chill vibe. I had the seasonal strawberry matcha pastry and my friend had the goat cheese cake with a fruit compote. Our favorite element of each was that the sweetness wasn't overpowering. It was just right! The jazz was lovely, service was amazing.

Oh La La - Goat cheese cake and seasonal strawberry matcha pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

I first heard about this restaurant on Instagram and was excited to try their pastries and dishes. However, my experience turned out to be quite underwhelming. The environment was very aesthetic, with a large clean seating area and a self serve bar where you can get your own plates and cutlery. The plates had a nice vintage look with numerous designs to choose from. There was also a large front counter where you can see all the pastries they had on display. The staff were very nice and happy to answer any questions we had about the menu or food. For food, we ordered the pain au chocolat, maple and sea salt scone, double chocolate peanut cookie, creme brulee waffle, citrus and fennel salad, and the steak frites. The maple and sea salt scone tasted somewhat bland with only a faint taste of maple in it. The pan au chocolat tasted pretty standard, but the double chocolate peanut cookie was fantastic with a nice smooth chocolate and peanut taste that wasnt too sweet or heavy. The steak frites was a little disappointing with the steak being rubbery considering the price, but the truffle fries were actually the best part of the meal. They were crunchy with a strong truffle flavor spread throughout. The citrus and fennel salad and creme brulee waffles both tasted pretty standard as well, but nothing that stood out. Overall, the food was average compared to how expensive it was. May visit again if they have any new seasonal items that interest me. read more

Lovely brunch spot! The cafe has an aesthetically pleasing interior with cute decor and beautiful tableware, making it great for photos. The food here is on the pricier side. I came here with my friend and we both got a pastry/dessert, entree, and a drink which came to about $80 in total (including tax & tip) for just two people. For my entree, I ordered the Croque Monsieur which was like a ham and grilled cheese sandwich sliced into several pieces. It was tasty, flavorful, and lightly crisp, though a bit greasy. I also got the Almond Croissant which was really good! It had a crispy exterior, a pleasant almond flavor, and the perfect amount of sweetness. It was quite big too. Probably one of the best croissants I've ever had so far! For the drink, I got the Mixed Berry Matcha Latte which was pretty good. It was perfectly sweet, with a nice matcha flavor that wasn't watered down, complemented by the sweet-tart berry purée. Overall, the food here is good, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making quality food and creating a wonderful café experience. The service here is pretty quick and the workers are friendly. I highly recommend trying their pastries, and I'll definitely be returning to try more of them. There's no designated parking lot, but I was able to find free street parking nearby. read more

Checked out Oh La La on a Saturday morning. Parking is free but street-only--1-hour spots nearby, or 2-hour ones a bit further. The line was moderate but moved along. You order at the counter and grab your own seat. It was packed when I arrived, so I had to wait for a table. The pastry display looked amazing--croissants, cookies, tarts, and whole bread loaves. I tried the almond croissant ($5), which looked great and was really generously filled (maybe a bit too much) with not too sweet frangipane. Unfortunately, it wasn't crispy or flaky (I think because it was heavy on the frangipane), and felt like it would taste better toasted which shouldn't be the case for a freshly baked pastry. Still, I'd come back to try items like the sourdough bread, monkey bread, and their breakfast menu. The interior is beautiful--minimalist wooden furniture, hanging ferns, rattan lanterns, and framed art lining the walls. Very bright, lively, and artsy vibe. There are also a few outdoor seats. Staff was friendly and even struck up conversation at the register, which was a nice touch. Overall, I didn't love what I got, but definitely want to return and try more. read more

I popped in to pick up pastries to go. I was helped right away & it was quick. I ordered a variety of items- ham & cheese croissant, chocolate croissant, spinach artichoke &feta, cheddar chive croissant, crookie, double chocolate peanut cookie, & lemon bun. The lemon bun was fluffy and soft- very light on lemon flavor. I really liked the double chocolate peanut cookie- the peanuts tasted roasted and who doesn't love a chocolate/peanut combo? Crookie is great slightly heated so the cookie dough on the inside is warm and gooey. Ham & cheese, spinach artichoke & feta, and cheddar & chive - you know what you're getting and they're great savory options. They have indoor & outdoor tables and serve meals as well besides pastries. Parking- street parking read more

Wow, what a fantastic brunch spot! I can't believe I hadn't been here before. It was bustling on Saturday morning, and it's easy to see why. Every pastry looked picture-perfect and tasted just as good- croissant, pain au chocolat, spinach and feta and the monkey bread. The interior design is stunning--one of the most beautiful I've come across. So cute inside with all the gorgeous European city vacations. The staff were super welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was wonderful. Great coffee and matcha selection. I believe they import their flour from France so that's how you know it's going to be authentic. read more

The inefficiency of the register/order taking and the time spent to get a coffee is the main reason I won't be coming back. I understand mountain time in Mammoth but we're in the city. There should be a register solely for drinks only or something. The online ordering system was not user friendly. They should consider using a system like SnackPass or something. I understand it's not a franchise business but efficiency should def be a thing. Perhaps look at Urth's business model? I was early for a class nearby, stood in line, and ended up being 10 mins late to my exercise class. The espresso itself was ok because I'm sure it's Boxx Roasters but the flavors were lacking. I did not taste the cinnamon nor the brown sugar. For $8 I was expecting something good and I felt like I didn't get cinnamon-y goodness or brown sugar notes. Perhaps put two kiosks/iPads for people to order just drinks and pastries? Idk. I'm not in a rush but waiting in line for 20+ mins is kind of insane. read more

Oh La La just launched their dinner service not too long ago so I made the drive here to try it out. We ordered the roasted garlic hummus as a starter and it was a solid choice. The hummus was delicious but the focaccia was not your typical bread. It was deep fried and too oily and crispy for my liking so I just ate the hummus as is. For our entrees, we went with our waiter's recommendations of steak frites and truffle rigatoni. For someone who doesn't fancy truffle, I surprisingly really enjoyed it. The rigatoni was cooked al dente and the truffle was present but not overpowering. The only con was that it was too salty and I kept needing to take sips of my drink to cleanse my palate. The N.A. Spritz consists of sparkling lemonade and blue jasmine with just the right amount of sweetness for me. If you're looking for a sweet drink though, this is not it. They have a large selection of drinks though, so you'll definitely find one to your liking. I also tried the steak frites and it was cooked medium rare, just as ordered. The peppercorn sauce complimented it very nicely but it was once again a bit salty. The fries were thin but soggy. Of course, as a bakery, the highlight was dessert. The crispy, buttery croissant bread pudding was the definition of perfection. Overall, the workers were all very kind and the space was beautiful with its French Riviera-inspired designs. read more

I've tried ordering from this restaurant on Uber Eats. I order around 7am because their restaurant shows up available. I end up waiting for a long time only to have a driver on Uber Eats let me know that the restaurant isn't even open. If the restaurant is open, why are they showing offerings on Uber Eats?!

Is bakery/Café is located right off of Lake Street. During peak hours like weekends, the parking can be a little tricky, but street parking can usually be found but may require a bit of a walk. The vibe of this place is excellent. The interior decor was very inviting, with plenty of seating and large windows to let in the natural sunlight. This is my first time at the restaurant and I only ended up grabbing pastries. I got a ham and cheese croissant, and also a chocolate and almond croissant. Ham and cheese croissant was decent, it was warmed up, so the dough was flaky. Maybe it was salted enough, or the cheese wasn't pungent enough, but I didn't feel like there was enough flavor/punch behind this pastry. With that being said, my favorite part was probably the bechemel sauce was a nice savory touch. 3.5/5. The chocolate/almond croissant was decent. I didn't get this warmed up, but in retrospect, I probably should have. The great thing about this croissant is that they did not skimp on the filling. Plenty of almond paste and chocolate, so it was quite rich in flavor. Where it falls short is the pastry itself. Perhaps I should've had it warmed up, but as it came out, it was a little cold, and certainly didn't have the flaky/fragrant texture that one might expect. Some of this may be just from the fact that the pastry was cold, but I would be willing to give it a second shot. Overall, 4/5. Service was fast, and very good. Serving staff are friendly, and the café is well kept and clean. This may be one of my new favorite hangout spots, given the great vibe, and excellent hours. Looking forward to coming back and trying out some additional pastries and food. read more
