I'm never on this side of town, My friend sent me a promo that I've been trying to get. As soon as I walked in cashier helped me right away. This quiet hidden cafe is hidden between the boarder of Pasadena and San Marino. It's a tiny location without any real signage outside. I drove right past it without even knowing. If I woke up early enough this would be a great place for brunch. Because it was a promo, I got a free sandwich and let my cashier pick for me. The French onion roasted beef, Real onion with those crispy fried tiny onions on top of the roast beef and provolone cheese. read more

Cute corner cafe that offers your standard breakfast and lunch options. Each sandwich is about $20 which took me by surprise. Ordered the marketplace panino which sound good in theory but was very basic with shredded white meat chicken between some avocado and tomatoes. There was no hint of their lemon aioli. Their voodoo vegan sandwich was better because it was bright and refreshing. have read more

Came here because of a promotion and was surprised at how fresh and delicious the food was. It was crowded and you order yourself at the cashier, get a number, and get your own table. I tried their vegan sandwich and it was so delicious and the bread was springy and fresh. I will say if you save the sandwich it probably would get soggy because of so many fresh moist ingredients in it. I also tried the lavender matcha latte, iced. They have oat or almond milk and I saw in their fridge its barista milk edition. Also I was told a baseline their match is "ceremonial grade" from Uji. I will say the matcha latte was one of my favorites. Overall really great. My order did seem to take awhile and while they checked in with me when they noticed me still waiting...I could see some impatient faces of other guests. read more

Hands down the best place for a hearty turkey chili in the area. It is filled with vegetables and comes with bread for dipping. I always tell myself I will try another menu item but I always come back for the chili. There's a lot of seating inside and outside the cafe. There is free wifi. The staff are always very friendly. read more

Warning: you might come for the Bodega Burrito, but you'll stay because of the kindness behind it. What made this experience even more memorable was the owner's kindness and hospitality. She personally reached out, took time to listen, and showed me how much she truly cares about her customers. That kind of genuine care is rare and means so much. I recently found out they have a South Pasadena location, and my mom and I can't wait to visit that one too! Linda, thank you for putting so much heart into what you do. Your passion, kindness, and hospitality are truly what make Bodega Burrito special. read more

Great experience just shy 5 stars because there's a bit of a wait. But very worth it see the bodega breakfast burrito loaded with eggs and some potatoes. Like how they crisp up the outsides! Their green thick salsa is terrific too. Wish there were stickers with pricing for popsicles, wine, things in shelf in fridge. Used to be called San Marino Cafe. read more

Service here is just Great! The staff here were so sweet and friendly and helpful because I didn't know what to order. Cat (staff) & Jayden (staff) recommended me to try out the Breakfast Burrito and it hit the spot, like literally! It was just so perfect and so good to start my morning on the right path. Highly recommend for you to try this Breakfast Burrito. The ambiance here is amazing because it's located right at the corner of S. Euclid Ave & Mission St. and this street or "mini" downtown looking street is cute and a great place to relax and eat with friends or with family. I highly recommend this place to try for anyone. 5/5 stars read more

Lemon chicken orzo soup w bread: The most delicious lemon chicken orzo soup. The soup was seasoned perfectly and hit the spot!The bread was sooooooooooo good! I believe it was a rustic white but it kind of reminded me of sourdough? Incredible. 5/5 Banana brulee latte sub matcha half sweet: This was interesting. It kind of ended up tasting like dried apricots. There are some toffee notes in the banana syrup so maybe that's why. Lavender matcha: Absolutely phenomenal! It pairs incredibly well with the pastry and isn't too sweet despite me not making any adjustments! So good hot so make sure to finish it quickly or the matcha might settle on the bottom and the foam will get cold! 5/5 Apple crumble danish: The best pastry I've had in a while! And it was heated up so perfectly! A lot of cafes don't warm up their pastries enough but it was perfectly toasty and crisp! The layers were so light and crisp and the sweet filling was divine with small apple bits on the top and crumbles at the top. It is definitely on the sweet side but honestly it's so well done that I don't mind. Pairing this with a less sweet drink is key! Lavender matcha worked well but prob a coffee would be good too! 5/5 Also the service here was incredible! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. read more

Came here after a Sunday lagree class, and we decided to order a breakfast burrito. The cashier was great, but the burrito took a while to come out ~ about a 15-20 minute wait. They were pretty busy for a Sunday morning, so it was understandable. I'd rate the burrito a 7/10. It was filling, but I mostly tasted the potatoes, so I didn't get as much of the other flavors as I was hoping for. I'd still come back to try other menu items though. This place has a small, cozy, community feel; there were a lot of locals eating and hanging out. Parking in the front was readily available. read more

Freshly baked bread alert. Come get it when it's hot. Their sandwiches are hot and delicious. Short rib sandwich is my fav lunch sandwich since it's marinated for hours before serving. Every bite so satisfying with soft bread. My fav breakfast sandwich is the breakfast egg sandwich with tomato/cheddar. Makes tummy happy with a warm breakfast sandwich. Piccadilly Grace is open 8-3p daily with outdoor seating only. Nestled in the center of South Pasadena off a busy street Fremont. Outdoors views are super serene and cute community garden views. Staff is hardworking and kind. Small parking lot but plenty of free street parking. Evenings is a smash burger pop up thats really good too. read more

This place such an amazing French Roast Beef sandwich. The roast beef itself was tender and held everything together alongside the melted cheese making it almost a mix between like au jus and a Philly cheesesteak. Personally love that they had DairyAssure as well to accommodate lactose intolerance which helped with digesting the cheese! Will definitely make time to go back again :) read more

Overall pretty nice spot for a quick casual brunch in this part of town. Plenty of parking around the area near the front of the shops. I got the farmer's daughter salad. This was super filling and I loved the candied nuts that added a nice texture to the whole salad. My fiance enjoyed his breakfast burrito although it was not as big in portion from what I could tell compared to the salad. The elixir was alright if you enjoyed mint but I'll probably stick to matcha next time. read more

GOOD FOR LUNCH ================ My husband and I rode our bikes from La Canada to San Marino Cafe on Sunday, April 6th. They have several tables outside along the side street, so it was easy to just park our bikes by our table. That was nice, so we don't have to worry about locking them up. I made the mistake of ordering a glass a wine because it took them at least twenty minutes to bring that. We were almost done eating by the time it arrived. The red wine was also bad and warm. It wasn't a very generous pour for the price either. I might be better off bringing my own. The food was great though. My husband ordered the Italian sandwich and he liked that a lot. I loved the chopped salad with scoop of tuna salad. We would definitely get those again. read more

Very friendly service. Great ambiance. Pesto sandwich - a big delicious sandwich, can be shared with two. Market salad - also massive, can also be shared with two. I didn't like the onion vinaigrette but they were kind enough to replace it with the Asian salad dressing. Latte - perfectly extra hot as requested. I would definitely come back :) read more

Been a few times and love the area. The food is great and came out quickly. Their potatoes are so good highly recommend!! The seating is comfortable but it can get packed pretty quickly. They have a handful of options for breakfast and lunch as well as a few pastries. I have yet to try their drinks but they have a solid selection offered. It's a nice place to study or catch up with a friend. I'd recommend and think the plates are reasonably priced read more

Cute place to grab a bite and patio seating. The service was great and attentive, especially it being our first time here. We got some sunrise breakfast sandwiches which consisted of egg, arugula, tomato, house spread, and your choice of meat protein (as desired). No cheese although I'm sure if you request they can add that (not sure if for an add-on fee). They also have some curated specialty items like wine, spreads, and bread if you want to grab some items for a picnic. read more

I used to live near this cafe and definitely miss being able to walk here. Glad I came by to enjoy a peaceful breakfast. She was very helpful in the abundant choices but she helped me out in lessening the sweetness in my matcha! Great rec! This place never disappoints. read more

Came here when headed to the library and it was perfect. The building is cute and the parking was plentiful on a Sunday around noon. We were able to head in a grab a seat once we ordered. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and a Diet Coke and the sandwich was perfect. The chicken was moist and not overcooked and the bread was so soft. I will probably dream about this bread for a while. This place is super quaint and there were a number of folks studying/working as well as some socialization happening. It seems like a great place to do all of the things as their beverage menu includes coffee and alcohol as well as bottled/canned soft drinks. Overall, this place was just what I was looking for and I am happen we got a chance to stop. read more

San Marino Café and Marketplace has been on my list for a while. Today, was the day to try it out. As soon as I walked through the door, I was thoroughly satisfied. At least two employees greeted me and asked if they could be of assistance. This is critical for any visitor but more importantly, the first timers. I was handed a menu by a courteous gentleman behind the counter. After a few pregnant moments, I ordered a Marketplace Panino, Lentil Soup, Deli Scoop Salad with Tuna and House Chardonnay. Everything was delectable While I waited, I took it all in. San Marino Cafe and Marketplace has appropriate decor, plenty of sunlight, and sufficient inside and outside seating. I believe you'll enjoy this quaint spot whenever you're in the mood for great food at a reasonable price in a fantastic neighborhood. read more

Good sandwiches in a beautiful setting with great service. The food is t exceptional but it is solid.

Food: I prefer the other Picadilly Grace location in South Pasadena. The food here is not the same as their other location, poorly made and tastes bland. I always get the Asian Crunch salad and the salads are typically massive and loaded with chicken. Today, I ordered the same Asian Crunch salad at this location and it's small, had 3 pieces of chicken, half a cup of sad lettuce and the other 70% of the salad was wonton chips. It felt like i was eating a bowl of chips with a sprinkle of chicken and lettuce. The dressing tasted like oil with a hint of citrus. For a $20 salad, I expected something better. Service: nothing stood out. Basically you order at the counter, seat yourself, and someone brings the food out to you. Ambiance: some indoor and outdoor seating available read more

After visiting the Arlington Garden, my husband and I stopped in this cafe. Good business! It is not cheap, however, the food is delicious, super quality, the vodoo vegan sandwich is incredible! The service is nice, friendly. The ambiance reminds a small coffee in Europe. I'm the same way so Californian. The portion is big, so you can share if you don't eat too much. read more

At times you must want a place that is not noisy or hard to find parking or wait a while to sit only because you arrived at approx 9:30ish for breakfast... Decided to try this place that was recommended to me due to the coffee!!... Annnnd... enjoyed it... Good food, great coffee and relaxing ambiance... what else can you ask for?... I belived due to the location (San Marino) this place has more of a relaxed ambience. In my opinion is nice to enjoy a good cup of coffee... -im sure you have been to those over crowded sit down places that you wait in line or wait 40 min to sit down.... This place is great for a relaxing breakfast... Plenty of street parking Staff is friendly Pet friendly And the coffee gets a 6 stars, and free refills (Major plus)... Definitely going back.... When you go... Enjoy!!... read more

Rich and robust iced coffee coupled with a fantastically delicious breakfast burrito. Combination of scrambled Eggs, potato and cheddar with a zingy salsa was a mouthwatering fiesta. No exaggeration!! My friend had the Asian salad which seemed to be on every table. If you're in a rush, this isn't the place to pop by during lunchtime unless you've ordered takeout online. We had plenty of time, and the tasty freshly prepared lunch was definitely worth the wait. We split the pear Frangipane/tartlette. How good was it? Next time we're not sharing! read more

Boy were they busy on Saturday afternoon! Everyone who was working was hustling I'll tell you THAT much! My egg sandwich was simple and also missing something... not much to write home about, however my friend ordered the Marketplace Panini and devoured it! We both had several refills on our Iced Teas - which was refreshing and strong! This place has seating indoors as well as on the sidewalk and also in the entryway. Some of the tables on the sidewalk have umbrella for shade. Extensive wine selection here and the deli looked perfect for anyone wanting to pick up something as a grab-and-go. Respectfully Reviewed. read more

One of the best iced mocha in town! I rarely satisfy with any iced mocha in LA after my years in San Jose, but this one here is good... Not too sweet and still have a good combination of coffee and chocolate taste... The sandwiches are good too, especially like their roast beef sandwich. A quiet store is the tiny downtown area of San Marino, the people are always friendly and lots of locals do their morning walk with dogs and stop by for coffee. read more

The atmosphere is amazing! And the food OMG! It was our first time here and I got the breakfast burrito, I got my husband the roast beef sandwich, hot chocolate and I got the de leche tea latte ( or something like that ). Now I understand prices when it comes to food these days BUT paid $57 for my meal which is insane. It took about 30 minutes for everything to come but we didn't mind it at all. The staff was nice to give me and my husband a comp cinnamon roll for the wait. Let me tell you....the food was out of this world. Everything was hot and the flavors were amazing. My husband normally is anal about how expensive take out or dining has been. What we got was worth the wait and for the price. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

I visited San Marino Cafe and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the breakfast burrito with ham and a matcha latte, both of which were splendid. The breakfast burrito was hearty and flavorful, and the matcha latte was the perfect blend of creamy and refreshing. My friend ordered the breakfast baguette and was very satisfied with the quality. The cafe also boasts a lovely patio, which was absolutely perfect for a fall brunch on a Sunday. Even though you're outside, this neighborhood is quiet and you won't have loud cars interrupting your conversations. There's a big parking lot in the back, making it convenient in case you can't find street parking. read more

This was my first time at this cafe and I really enjoyed the breakfast egg sandwich. It was buttery and delicious! Also got the Spicy Chai Latte which was good but next time I think I'll ask to brew my chai a little bit longer for richer flavor. Service was quick and friendly. This cafe is obviously a frequent jaunt for local residents as I noticed lots of familiar banter between the customers and the servers. It's a perfect setting for an intimate indoor or outdoor meetup. Will definitely be back. read more

My visit to San Marino Cafe & Marketplace was a letdown. The overpriced & underwhelming sandwich, the tasteless soup, and the deceptive menu left me feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Food Presentation: The sandwich was served wrapped up in paper, no plates. The soup came in a paper cup with a plastic spoon. The overall sandwich and soup combo came out to be a whopping $31, and was very underwhelming. Service: The only service is when they drop off your food wrapped in paper to your table and that's it. They don't check in or say anything. $21 Sandwich: They advertised their Marketplace Panini as "Top 100 in California!" But it tasted just average and was overpriced, like a baguette sandwich you can get at Panera bread but 2x more expensive. In addition, the menu board advertised all their sandwiches served with a house salad by default. However, once you pay $4 extra to add a soup, they take away the salad and replace it with a mild lentil soup. That's considered a substitution, not an addition as the menu states. Overall, the San Marino Café is Located in a pleasant and pretty neighborhood. Food wise, their sandwich and soup are not worth the high prices. read more

I ordered the burrata caprese and the mortadella mama sandwich to go. Pretty good sandwiches but the size of the sandwich was so tiny and not well priced accordingly. We paid $50 for the whole order and including a vanilla latte. I liked the pesto and aioli sauce here as well. And the quality of the sandwiches were not bad, but also didn't blow me away. However, the size is just wayyyyy too small for the price and all in all not worth considering the mediocre quality as well read more

I always drive by this cute little cafe and finally stopped by the other day. I've only tried it once but I would say it's pretty average food and over priced. I ordered the bodega breakfast burrito and added avocado which came out to $20. I also ordered two lattes which put me at $37. The vanilla cold brew wasn't great but the honey cinnamon latte was fantastic. Staff was friendly and the cafe was clean. My favorite part of this experience was sitting outside and enjoying the peace and quiet small city. read more

Despite some reviews saying the food was very mediocre, especially considering the price, I ended up coming here because I wanted something fresh but not a salad, and quick, that was on the way to my ultimate destination. The peaceful outdoor AMBIENCE was definitely a contributing factor. Free 2-hour street PARKING. (I came on a weekday at noon, so I can't speak for weekend traffic.) PRICE: Pay with cash to shave off 4% - you'll still end up paying $20 for a whole sandwich. FOOD: Got the Harissa Tuna Salad Sandwich (Whole): I could do without the olives but I'm glad it has crunchy bits of cucumber, and the sandwich also has lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Chose this over the chicken salad sandwich just because I wanted something a bit different, and the Harissa did that for me. - comes with side salad (good balsamic dressing - sweeter with some jam-like chunks of onion?) read more

Sundays are made for adventure. Without further delay let's begin this review. SM Café & Market place is a casual and friendly cafe offering breakfast, wine, organic coffee and tea, and artisanal market goods. They're located on Mission st in San Marino, CA. Indoor and outdoor atmosphere were very chill with relaxing. Menu has decent list of food, coffee and beverages. I came here on a cloudy Sunday morning to grab some breakfast. I ordered on their counter an Avocado toast with tomatoes, olives and feta cheese; Hot Dark Chocolate Mocha. Service was extremely fast and staff were nice and professional. AVT was decent albeit it lacks flavor and small portion - sourdough; huge avocado chunks and it was quite cold. Conversely, their hot dark chocolate mocha was perfect to my liking. Whether it's for dine-in or take-out customers will eat in a brown/translucent box. So there will be no surprises! Lol. Food prices were slightly above market value except for drinks. Ample of street parking. Overall, it's a decent cafe spot to grab food or coffee. read more
