Excellent bakery! The quality of bread and other baked goods is the excellent! I only wish they would open a cafe to sit down and have a cup of coffee and sandwich or something else. read more

Horrible horrible experience. I placed a phone order for 2 egg burritos. I wasn't happy with my order so I called. The way the manager brushed off my complaint and talked to me left me baffled. I've been in the customer business for over 10 years. I've dealt with unhappy customers before and unfortunately when you're in the restaurant business the customer is always right. I was upset that I paid $35 for 2 egg burritos and it came with 2 halfway full salsas and red salsa when it usually comes with green. Had I been told that there was red salsa today or even if the manager had told me that unfortunately they change the salsas daily I would've been fine. But the fact that he told me "oh well that's life" To think that the manager can talk to a customer in a disrespectful tone says a lot. So much so, that I decided to go back to the establishment and request a refund. I was so upset with the way that he spoke to me that I literally took the burrito out of my boyfriend's hands and decided to not support his business and request my money back. Had he given me my refund. I wouldn't be writing this review right now. When a customer goes back to your business and tells you that they're not happy with their purchase and brings you back your product, You give them their money back and everyone goes about their day. But due to the fact that my boyfriend took 2 bites out of the burrito while I was on the phone with the manager, the manager decided that he would only give me a refund for 1 burrito. I wanted a full refund. I wasn't happy with supporting someone's business who talks to customers so degrading and I just wanted my money back. He decided that because I decided to record the situation, in the end he refused to give me any refund. I left the burritos there and went home. At this point this feels like theft. I am beyond upset at this point. Had he simply apologized for the inconvenience when I called to explain to them why I was upset, all of this would've been avoided. He shows no sympathy and no care for his customers. To think that he thought it was okay to refuse me a refund while I returned the product is basically theft. I'm beyond baffled. This is all so ridiculous. I decided to record the altercation for my safety and because I told him I was recording he decided I wouldn't get a refund at all. I left the burritos with him and left. At this point, this is theft. read more

Wonderful, authentic sourdough bread. The times I have purchase a loaf the bread is soft from the inside and crispy on the outside. The olive sourdough has whole, olives and works great alone or for a sandwich. The batard is also a wonderful alone or with a sandwich. read more

We had the Spinach Feta Croissant and the roasted red pepper while staying with friends in the area and it was the absolute best croissant that I've ever tasted! I wish they did mail order because I'd be a returning customer. read more

Unique options and fast morning treats! I had an apple maple danish which was delicious!

This place charges people for a cup of water, $.50 - even if you've made a purchase with them. They also don't offer reusable cup (like a water station, which would be the solution) - pretty gross price gouging read more

Seed Bakery, is absolutely amazing I've been going there for a very long time, Joe and Ann the owners are lovely people, I love their bread and pastries!! Everything I've eaten has been delicious and Joe goes to Farmers Market in South Pasadena and sells his fabulous bread there on Thursday evenings!! Service is always friendly!! Thank you Joe and Ann!! Love Cornwoman!! read more

Sadly it's a ghost of what was... it's no longer the "go to" place for brunch throughout the week. NOR is it pleasant, appealing, attractive nor comforting. They only take credit card, another sad loss, while you stand on the sidewalk! The dirty and impersonal sidewalk is where you conduct your business? If you like spending your credit (not cash) on Premium priced breads, from a dirty sidewalk, then this is for you! read more

They do certain things really well here. For example, the Danish and gazpacho. The peach danish... OMG, but really any of them. SO GOOD. I am not a fan of their savory handpies, but honestly, I just think you have to try their different goods to know what you like. I usually get their breakfast quiche, but recently tried their breakfast burrito, and it was pretty good! I wouldn't recommend their coffee. Their jamaica (hibiscus) drink is really sweet, so I water it down.. but then that means i have twice as much to drink lol. I was annoyed once when they overcharged me and my friend, but I was too tired to even bother going back and disputing it. This is a regular spot of mine when I don't feel like going further down to Millie's. read more

Conflicted about writing this review. Having come to Seeds for many years and loved their pastries. I think it is time for them to reopen their full store. When you pay around five dollars for a pastry, I think it is not too much to ask to be offered a chair and a table as before the pandemic. We supported them during Covid by standing in line rain, or shine, however now it seems an unreasonable ask for customer to accommodate what I have to assume is their unwillingness to spend extra time, effort, and money on reopening their store. The last time I went, standing in the rain, no less, I asked when we can expect a full service establishment again I was given a vague, almost angry flipped non-answer. Until that day, I will spend five dollars for a croissant elsewhere I guess. read more

How have I never seen this place just minutes away from my place? I saw a line outside and had to turn around to see what it was for. This is to go only place. No sit down. Guy in the front was very friendly and had recommendations which I always appreciate when it's my first time to a place. The first time, We got the French toast pastry and peach lattice bar. The pastry on the bar was very tasty. Sometimes bakeries focus on the filling and forget about the dough. The French toast pastry was out of this world. The fruit on it was so fresh. Very unique. Loved it. I also bought a hemp loaf to go. Lovely sourdough and dense taste. toasted with a smear of some good butter with a cup of tea. Divine. On our 2nd visit we ordered Latte with almond milk. Their cups have compostable lids which I really appreciate. Also got the Ratatouille bowl. Lots of eggplant. Super flavorful. For dessert we got the Flourless chocolate cake. This was just ok. Icing on the cake is that it's a husband and wife owned business. Can't wait to try more things on their menu. read more

Do yourself a favor if your ever in Altadena stop by and get something baked fresh daily or hot from the kitchen at Seed Bakery. Where the flavors are bold yet familiar, generous and tasty, and always served by friendly staff. read more

We decided to go to Seed Bakery because the flour is freshly milled and there is only one other place in LA that does this. We got 3 empanadas and a ham melt. We read previous reviews about the breads and croissants appearing blackened, and I did notice this for some of the food on display. That said, everybody loved their food! I had the all veggie empanada and to be totally honest, it was so good, it was better than the pork and beef empanadas, which surprised me. The ham melt looked burnt, but my husband and 11 year old liked it so much they said they wanted another. They said there was no charred flavor whatsoever and instead the outside was crisp and the inside nicely done. The leeks were a nice touch that even my vegetable averse son found scrumptious. So I would recommend it for the food. I would take off a star for its ambiance and presentation(not good truly), but It is what one might describe as a "dive" bakery. That said, because they freshly mill their flower and the food is good/unique, I'm giving them full stars. Their chocolate chip cookie is one of the best I've ever tried. read more

I got there about 11:30 they ran out breakfast croissant so I had burritos OMG it's so~~ delicious the best one I've had definitely go back to try others, so happy for its close to my house. read more

The flavors are unique and explosive in everything they have! The customer service was amazing loved the vibe !

We don't go to Seed a lot but when we do, we're never disapointed with the Olive Sourdough or any of the breads. We're so glad you're here !!! read more

OMG, the roasted califlower sando is amazing. I worried I would be hungry after eating, but I couldn't finish it. So delicious!

Stopped by this coffee shop and was pretty disappointed. There are no tables or seating--just a window for ordering, which made the long line even more confusing. Turns out, the wait wasn't worth it. The coffee tasted like something you'd get at a gas station, and funny enough, I saw a few people drinking coffee from other places while sitting nearby... should've taken that as a sign. The pastries were the only saving grace--good variety and tasted nice, but overpriced. Service was fine, nothing special. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Yummy Bakery and sandwiches. Latte's are yummy as well. The line can get long but be patient it is worth it.

The bread is delicious. I first had their bread at the South Pasadena Farmers Market, but over the last few years I buy at the bakery. I have had many different loaves, and I have really liked every one. (Perhaps the only negative is that the loaves don't last long once I start eating them.) And the prices are very good for such special bread. read more

Came in around 1:30pm. Pastries were pretty good, but the cashier was super rude when I asked a couple of questions. Definitely need to work on their customer service if they don't want to lose customers. read more

This local community supported establishment continues to not only provide delightful treats but ensures that each interaction is based upon respect and kindess. As a non morning creature their black coffee consistently soothes my grumpy ways as each sip of their beans manages to never leave a burnt taste upon my tongue. read more

They no longer have ambiance, this is now a to go window and I just don't understand why they threw their entire cute cafe concept away. If you want bread or something to go, it's fine but if you want brunch or any kind of service or ambience, probably better to go elsewhere. read more

Love having a local independently owned bakery nearby. There's always a line. Check it out, but get there early.

Oh. My. God. I've never been here and just walked over for a quick bite while I was waiting to meet up with some friends. I got the avocado toast and at first I was feeling a little salty because it was $13, but I needed to eat so I ponied it up. But! When I got back to my car to eat and opened the box, I was greeted with the most pleasant and delicious looking avocado toast I've ever seen. Sliced kumquat, white peach, radish, PICKLED RED ONIONS (my fave)! and also what had to be at least two whole avocados worth of spread on top some incredibly delicious bread. Not only did it look incredible but the flavors were out of this world. I would've never thought to put peach and kumquat on an avocado toast but it was amazing. I've had much worse avocado toast for more money so I do not feel the price was out of line with what you get. I'm so sad I'm not from the area and can't come here more often. I do hope they open the inside again at some point because it would be so nice to sit and eat this in cute cafe ambiance. Thank you Seed Bakery for starting my day with a huge smile. read more

I only tried the pastries and it's very good. We're from San Gabriel and was worth the drive and the traffic.

I am in love with this place because the breads and pastries are definitely quality! It is true that the prices are a bit higher but reading their website it seems they put a lot of time into long fermentation of their grains and buy organic when possible. I've gone there twice so far and I highly recommend checking this place out. Right now there is no inside dining. Instead there is a line to order at the front door, and a pastry window showcasing the daily pastries is on the side facing the bigger street. They advise knowing your order to not hold up the line so look at the window first. The line then moves pretty quickly! All of their pastries are so flaky and the savory ones are chock full of vegetables. The flavors are layered and complex. Lots of vegetarian options as well and some vegan and flourless options. I really liked their veggie empanada and almond croissant. The almond taste is fully there! Sandwiches are delicious too! The size though is around the size of a standard slice of bread but with the contents of the sandwich pretty thick and still filling. They use the breads they bake and my eggplant sandwich had a nice ciabatta bread. You can also buy whole loaves. I tried their olive sourdough bread and it was good! The crust was a bit hard but after heating it to eat at home it was better. Overall this is my splurge bakery! I can never seem to just get one thing. read more

Magnifique! I purchased an Almond horse shoe cookie (the almond croissants were sold out already), and a chocolate and hazelnut croissant, and ordered a latte. Every item was DIVINE. I will be back! No indoor seating, so you will have to take your goodies to go. I suggest driving to the top of Lake Ave and sitting near the trail head. What a beautiful place to eat your pastries. One of the best croissants I have eaten in the LA area. I saw that a few people, and then reviews complained about the prices. Remember, you get what you pay for. This place uses top quality ingredients, and you definitely can taste the difference. In my opinion, it is worth every penny. read more

OH. MY. GOOOOOOSHHHHHHH...I had the MOST AMAZING sandwich here. It cost me an arm and a leg, but it was worth it. And -- wait for it--it was made of roasted CAULIFLOWER. And pistachio pesto. On their rustic loaf. I never thought I'd rave about cauliflower or pistachios, but holy crap, it was HUGE and DELICIOUS. Also splurged on a hibiscus limeade and the total was around $15. Note: I have histamine intolerance and something tipped me over into a flareup. Don't know if there's parmesan in the pesto, but it might be that, or the limeade. I should've gotten the beet salad (which also looked scrumptious) to be safe. But it was WORTH IT, at least just once. But just a heads up. read more
