    Simple yet unique pastries and drinks. At around 2:30PM on a Tuesday, the pizza pastries JUST sold out (was told "just 20 minutes ago"), so I had to order what was left. - CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE $4.50: sooo soft, strong taste of brown sugar. Not overly sweet, even with the generous bits of chocolate chips. i like the large chunks of sea salt on top! - CROOKIE (croissant cookie) $8.00: flaky, crunch croissant, with a soft decadent cookie on top, and filled with an ooey gooey cookie batter-like center. this can easily get too heavy, but I quite enjoyed the few bites I could handle (saved the other half for the next day). worth trying at least once - Apple fritter $6.25: a cylindrical shaped fritter with ample apple chucks, and expected cinnamoniness and glaze. - Strawberry Coast $5.50: strawberry compote and coconut milk, with a bit of seltzer fizz? I was told by the cashier it would be really sweet, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting! would get again. - VANILLA BEAN LATTE $6.50: SO enjoyed! I would definitely come back, i'm itching to try their savory pastries!! recommending going on weekdays, maybe around noon. We were able to find parking right away in the lot, tho it is a bit tight

    Service 5/5 -they provide umbrellas for people waiting in the line outside under the sun. -the hostess is kind. -the person taking our order is also patient. Pastries 2/5 -the plain croissants aren't what I expected. I thought they were going to be soft, fluffy and flaky. But they are chewey and like Costco Croissants. -pastries in general are okay but, not worth waiting in line. They do have a pizza pastry they sold out of, my thought is that it is their best seller. I was unable to try it. 4/5 -Salted brown butter maple latte was good in my opinion, but a friend of mine didn't like it, they said it was "too salty". I liked it though. (1/5) -it's set up like a Porto's, order at the counter and pay there. Order drinks when you pay. And only seating available are 2 benches. But they are for waiting customers. Once you get everything you ordered, you have to leave.

    Stopped by for a quick snack to drink with my coffee and found this hidden gem! There were so many delicious looking pastries that I wanted to purchase, but I decided on the Best Selling Chocolate Cupcake. It was uniquely delicious. Especially the mini fruit on top! Will def be back to try out the other pastries and drinks even. Seating area is very limited.

    I finally got around to trying this place ever since it blew up on social media. When I saw they were doing a limited time principal street pizza collab I knew I had to try it. They have a small parking lot but there is also street parking down the street. It is a small take out spot. Once you get in they take your order at the display and then you move forward to pay at the register. I waited in line for about an hour and I would honestly do it again for the pizza croissant. I also got the spinach artichoke croissant, earl gray orange morning bun, cinnamon roll, and the ham and cheese croissant. For all of them I recommend warming them up a little when you get home. All of them were so flavorful and I understand the hype around this place now.

    I'd tried Salted Butter before when a friend brought me an almond croissant and a chocolate chip cookie. Both left a lasting impression, so I was excited to finally visit in person while I was in the Pasadena area. When we arrived, there was a small line out the door which we waited about 15 minutes before ordering. A friend had mentioned that you can walk in directly to order drinks only, but we decided to wait and place our entire order at once. The line first moves through the pastry display before you order drinks and pay at the register. We ordered seven pastries and one coffee which came out to about $53 including tax. While none of the new items we tried were particularly memorable, everything was enjoyable. The almond croissant and chewy chocolate chip cookie remained my favorites and were easily the standout items of the visit. The Iced Good Vanilla Bean Coffee was also yummy - flavorful without being overly sweet. One downside was the flow of the space. Drink pickups happen directly in front of the entrance, so customers often have to cut through those waiting in line for pastries. The shop itself is quite small, with only two benches available for seating, making it feel crowded during busy periods. Parking was a bit confusing. Most of the spots had signage but there appeared to be only two spaces specifically designated for Salted Butter customers.

    I have had this bakery on my saved list for months and finally had the chance to go. (I have already gone back three times since I went the first time) I have been pretty lucky every time I go and the line isn't too crazy. Max I waited both times were 20 minutes? I have gone either early in the morning or an off time like around 1:30ish. They still have a pretty good selection at those times. My go-tos now are the butter croissant, cinnamon roll and kouign amann(when they have it). I got the crookie today and it was DELICIOUS!! The apple fritter is a nice sweet treat too. I love how flaky and buttery everything is. The staff is ALWAYS on point and friendly. I know it gets really busy but every time I go the staff is always smiling and very patient when you can't decide what to get. If you drive by and don't see a line you need to pop in! Love everything about this place! My daughters even have a Salted Butter sticker on their table. They love it everything time we go!

    I stopped by around 8 am and there was no line which I was worried about since I've seen the line wrap around the building. There's a parking lot next door with some parking spots. I got the salted maple coffee, an almond croissant and a cinnamon roll. The coffee and cinnamon roll were good, but nothing I'd drive out of my way for. The croissant was incredible though and I'd want to try all the other pastries. Would definitely come back.

    I've been to Salted Butter a couple times now and always go back & forth between a 4 or 5 star. Service wise this place is great, everyone is very friendly and efficient when it comes to ordering pastries and coffee. (Tip: if you only want coffee skip the line and go to the front). As for the pastries and drinks let's get into it - Salted Butter Maple Latte (8/10) First time trying it was just okay. Second time it was delicious, would recommend. - Chocolate Chip Cookie (8/10) Really solid cookie, just not a fan of the price but I respect it. - Croissant Cinnamon Roll (8.5/10) My favorite pastry, was flaky and moist. I did take off some of the frosting, after that it was really good. Overall a great experience, I did try a few other items that I don't recall good or bad. Would I go again? Yes!

    If just ordering coffee or picking up a cake. Skip the line & go too register #2.

    Salted Butter is a small family-owned business founded by Haruna & Johnny Romo. Haruna started baking her signature treats in her tiny kitchen and has now expanded to a small storefront. For the record, there are very few things I will stand in line for and food is not one of them, especially in the heat or the rain. Every time I drive by Salted Butter there is a line - rain or shine. I finally got lucky! I passed by around 1:15 pm and there was no one outside so I pulled into the parking lot. There were a few people ahead of me inside, and about 30 seconds later there was a line out the door. However, there were plenty of pastries in the case and more freshly out of the oven. A nice young man was taking pastry orders. If you want a beverage, you request it at the register when you pay. They use La Colombe coffee, which is like. The staff were all friendly and worked well together. I can imagine they must be tired at the end of the day. I heard the man tell someone that the Cinnamon Bun is their signature item, so I ordered it. It's different than a standard cinnamon bun because it is made from croissant dough and not a rich dough. The inner layers were light, flaky, & buttery. The cream cheese icing was thin and not overly sweet and the cinnamon filing wasn't overbearing. It had a good flavor & consistency and I like that it wasn't heavy. I also liked the crunchy ends and could taste the quality. However, I wouldn't stand in line for it but if I happen to pass by and there isn't a line I'll stop in and give something else a try. *Shared parking lot or street parking. *Order cakes & pastries online.

    I will never trust a hype around a coffee shop again. I ordered a Spanish latte and brown sugar latte and for a whopping 15, I could not for the life of me finish the drinks. Coffee almost had a rancid and bitter taste to it.

    Salted Butter Company is a breath of fresh air in the LA bakery scene. Right off the bat, the hospitality is standout -- I'm talking the kind of attentive, genuine service you usually only find in fine dining. From the person taking my order to the team boxing pastries and making coffee, everyone was incredible kind. They even went out of their way to find a sticker for my son. In today's world, that level of service is rare and much appreciated. Be prepared for a bit of wait, as the shop is always bustling and indoor seating is unfortunately non-existent. However, the staff works efficiently to keep the line moving. As someone who can be a bit indecisive at the counter, I ended up ordering a bit of everything. Here is the breakdown: -Cinnamon Roll ($6.50): A clear crowd favorite for a reason. It's made with laminated croissant dough, giving it an airy, flaky texture. The vanilla bean cream cheese glaze hits that perfect balance of sweet and tart. -Earl Grey Orange Morning Bun ($6.50): Another winner. The bun is buttery and crispy, with the Earl Grey tea and subtle citrus notes coming through beautiful in every bite. -Ham & Cheese Croissant ($6.75): This is a very high-quality, artisan take on a classic. It features next-level flakiness and rich, gooey Gruyère. My only wish? I'd love to see a version with Jalapeños for a bit of a kick! -Chocolate Croissant ($6.00) & Chocolate Chip Cookie ($4.50): Both were solid. The croissant was delicate with a great crunch, and the cookie had that perfect salty-sweet profile thanks to a hit of sea salt. -Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Danish ($7.75): I didn't get a bite of this one -- my son claimed it immediately, as he's a huge dan of anything strawberry. I tried the Brown Butter Maple Latte ($6.90), which was a bit too sweet for my taste and it didn't quite incorporate the syrup fully into the espresso. On the other hand, my wife's Spanish Latte ($6.90) was excellent -- smooth, creamy, and much more balanced. While the pastries are undeniably top-tier, there are two things you should prepare for: the crowd and the cost. Since there is a lack of dedicated seating, it's more of a grab-and-go destination than place to linger over a morning coffee. It's easy to go overboard when everything looks this good, but it definitely left my wife with a bit of sticker shock! I'll definitely be back, though I might have to make it a solo mission next time -- or at least keep the receipt hidden from my wife!

    Variety of pastries
    Violette S.

    Absolutely delicious baked goods and coffee conveniently located near multiple hospitals! Luckily, we went on a day where the line was not around the block. We tried the classic salted maple butter latte and seasonal banana coffee, both iced and both excellent! Also got a variety of pastries and baked goods, from savory to sweet. The standouts were the apple fritter and chocolate chip cookie. Also would love to commend the employee who noticed my husband pushing a stroller while carrying multiple beverages and a box of pastries and helped him walk back to the car.

    True this local Pasadena spot after seeing it go viral for numerous reasons on social media. I had to try both coffee and pastries although the place is known for pastries. There was a long line on a Friday morning still and the set up was a little odd. The line to pay covers half of the pastries displayed so I missed out on ordering some I didn't see. It was a very busy setting and ordering feels rushed. My order came out to around $40 for 4 pastries and a coffee. The pastries were good, not great and so was the coffee after mixing. I'd recommend it if the line isn't too long and you're in the area but it wouldn't be something I'd go out of my way for again. Parking is also not the best.

They are located in Mills Alley in Pasadena just look for the bright red sign and signage promoting some flavors. We came by after having dinner. The staff greeted us as we walked in. It was empty when we initially arrived then more customers filtered in shortly after. Staff allowed to sample their unique flavor options. **To note, they offer a few vegan flavors for those with dietary restrictions**. Always a huge plus and positive! The flavors are middle eastern inspired and the details are all listed. My wife and I sampled 2 flavors and we both enjoyed our selections. The flavors are memorable. We happily decided on the Sesame Halve (vegan) & Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell (+$1.00) for myself. The presentation is one of a kind! The topping with the tiny little rose is a nice aesthetic and definitely their trademark. The location offers retro and colorful style seating for 10+ customers if I had to guess . Patio seats are also offered outside. Also, OG Pac-Man arcades are available inside. My wife loved her Sesame Halva and my Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell totally reminded me of a Dubai Chocolate type of vibe with each bite! The whole first time visit was positive and would make me want to come by again to try something else! Presentation on point! Flavors on point! Vibes good! Tummies happy! Come by and just try!

When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections. It's a decent-sized shop with a few tables. Each table had a rose in a vase attached via velcro so you don't have to worry about tipping them over. The shop is also nicely decorated with wall art. It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.

    This review is for the cinnamon roll only - my bf and I are in search of the best cinnamon treats…read morein LA and hearing the hype about this cinnamon roll made it a must-try on our list! First, the good: the cinnamon roll was moist and fluffy all the way through. No dry cinnamon rolls here! The service was also very friendly. The not so good: my first bite, which somehow managed to not have much icing, gave me a clear taste of the dough. It reminded me a lot of canned biscuit dough. I prefer a thicker icing, this one was quite runny and very sweet without any nuance to the flavor. Also, I really wanted to try the peach cobbler cupcakes but they didn't have any cupcakes in stock at all, only a few cake slices. We went around noon, and I hoped they would have plenty of options around that time :/ Unfortunately I've had much better cinnamon rolls elsewhere in LA. It's still tasty because, well, it's a cinnamon roll... but not sure I'll be back unless it's to try the cake or cupcakes.

    Old Town Pasadena, California…read more Next to Nana's Green Tea, Delight is A very good French bakery, no breads, but Delight feeds the pastry hunger in me -- all the pastries, cakes and gelati are excellent. There is a smallish macaron counter with popular flavors and can be boxed up to bring home. The house made sandwiches (focaccia), breakfasts and lunch items are very good to excellent also and with great prices. With about 15 tables (a couple of tables for larger groups), there's a steady stream of people here and it would be a matter of time when lines will form out the door. Service is super attentive. The minute you come in the person behind the counter comes to assist. Ohhh almost forgot, savory pastries (caprese and artichoke and cheese) are super well-made and the crusts delightfully light and crispy :-) I keep coming back. End of Yelp.

Perhaps a personal preference, but I wish the sugar were a little more caramelized. It also was not as rich as I am accustomed to this pastry being.

The Ube Malted Crunch® definitely lived up to the hype. It was creamy, rich, and had that slightly nutty vanilla-like ube flavor with crunchy malted bits that added a really fun texture. You can see why it's their signature flavor. The pandan tres leches was also interesting and unique. It's light, creamy, and fragrant with a subtle pandan flavor that felt refreshing rather than overly sweet. It had a soft, milky dessert vibe that worked really well as ice cream. Service was friendly and patient while letting us sample flavors, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The vibe is modern, trendy, and fun, with lots of creative flavors inspired by different cultures and desserts around the world. Definitely feels like more than just a typical ice cream shop.

On our most recent visit - admittedly our first in a while - I was surprised that the flavors mostly seemed like repeats from a long time ago. Of course, you want to feature what is most popular, but I remember previously seeing things that were truly one of a kind, even for them. (Out of curiosity, I visited their website and the seasonal flavor blog hasn't been updated since spring 2021). None of this is a deal-breaker, but the feeling of "tiredness" permeated my interaction with the staff, too. There was no joy behind the counter, which I found odd for ice cream that is supposedly about the love of travel. When I tried to order a scoop of one flavor, I was told that I couldn't have it because there wasn't enough left for a full scoop. When I asked if I could have the half scoop that remained and just combine it with another flavor (trying to solve the problem for them), I was told that they aren't allowed to do half and half splits anymore. Fortunately, another employee showed up at that very moment with a fresh full tub of that flavor, but it still struck me as odd. They were also out of cones because of another problem. I am giving them four stars because the ice cream is still great and definitely worth a try if you've never had it, but I hope they can maintain their spark and magic as they continue to expand.
