I used to drive past the Santa Monica location all the time and thought about trying the bakery but felt weird about it being in an old funeral home. I ended up moving away from the westside and never got the chance to check it out but was so glad to find out Pasadena has its own location that's not haunted by ghosts. Awesome morning buns are a must try! I would come back just for those special pastries alone. They have the most wonderful hint of orange. It's kind of like eating a French toast croissant. I will say that Tartine is a little pricey though so I'm not sure how often I can realistically frequent this place. Each pastry is about $5 - $6. I bought 3 ham and cheese croissants and 2 morning buns. So 5 pastries was $30+. Free 2 hour street parking was easy to find on a weekday around noon. Line also moved rather quickly when I was there. Self serve water station and lots of outdoor patio seating available. read more

I was so excited to see a part of SF in socal and came in one afternoon so I can grab some food, some bread and a drink. My god, I forgot how expensive this place is, but honestly Idon't mind paying for good food especially nice fresh bread but this was not it. I got a breakfast sandwich which was tasty, but I don't think I'll get it again since it was crazy expensive. Coffee is basic but good, 10/10 I can't complain But I'm giving 2 stars for my absolutely horrible bread that I got. I got a loaf of bread, but when Iwas inspecting it all they were all soft. Like, the exterior of the bread should be crisp, you know, when you have that sound when you scrape the edge of your knife on. Not at all. None of them. So I figured their bread is a soft bread. Nope. it was soggy. I think they put the bread in their bags and taped them CLOSED too early, so the heat from the bread condensated on the inside and made the bread soft and soggy. Increased one more star because the croissant I got was decent and flaky and crisp. I was so disappointed. I bought this amazing olive oil when I was out in italy and was so excited to eat it with some amazing bread and it was not it. The following week I went to republique and got a nice loaf and it was amazing. Please tartine, don't bag up your bags too early. read more

MANAGEMENT - Caveat: it's important for these employees to COMPREHEND that they're in RETAIL & this requires retail EXCELLENCE. They are not snobs (as another reviewer wrote) they simply have no manners or class. If management is reading this... THEY'RE EMBARRASSING YOU!!!! And quite possibly will put you out of business, guaranteed. And now, onto the croissants. Who sold their soul to make these croissants?! I finally ventured forward to try them and I was ASTOUNDED!!! I tried the almost croissant. It was thick and heavily flaky and crispy because I was told only after asking that it's baked twice. Although being scolded by a doctor friend for eating "unhealthy croissants that probably had lard in them" I had to see what this is about. I blocked my mind about the disgusting lard but I doubt it. It's too bad they don't have vegan. When one is a great baker, you would think they would rise to the occasion and make the HEALTHIEST croissant, which is the vegan croissant. At least I will age more slowly eating vegan. So this has got to be the best almost croissant in the WHOLE OF PASADENA.. and yes, I know, it will be busier after this posting. And it's a little over 7.00 whilst the plain bagel is around 5.50! - but once in a while it's okay. I think the almond may rival anything in France! My cat loves their swirled dessert. The people who work there should be friendlier tho. read more

Visited Tartine - Pasadena and I am pleasantly surprised. This location offers plenty of street parking and outdoor seating and it's located next to Yoga Six. They offer a variety of loaves, pastries, quiche, hand pies, and dishes with toast. Highly recommend getting the croissant loaf and the poppy lemon tea cake. The croissant loaf is so buttery, flaky and soft; perfect for breakfast during the week with my morning matcha. The poppy lemon tea cake is another delicious pastry that goes well with hot tea. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back. read more

Moved to Pas last summer and didnt't realize until today that we have a TARTINE here, oh my my. Did a sando, coffee and gf cookie and all was 10 out of 10. As a GF eater, the sourdough still works for my tummy which makes the options here endless and yummy. Parking was a challenge given it was Sunday but can't wait to come back here. What's doesn't Pasadena have to offer its locals. This truly made my week! read more

So my sense of this Tartine is that while the baked goods continue to be superb I don't think that whoever is planning the food has the most refined palate. Like at the original Tartine *everything* was exquisite down to the little gem salad. But at this Tartine they make choices like broccoli and cheese for the savory scone - broccoli can be kind of funky in a no-good way - and the "meat"'quiche has some kind of taco-powder-adjacent sprinkled topping? It's just kind of a low-note palate and not for me anyway. The scone was over-salted and the tuna salad just not very yummy. Still, the bakes are amazing! The bread is wonderful. The coffee very good. And the spot is leafy and shaded if somewhat noisy. The workers are friendly and fast. I'll come back and just order carefully. read more

Everyone at this location is rude and acts as if they aren't getting paid to assist you. Came here after a friend mentioned they bake croissants fresh daily. I was expecting an amazing croissant+experience after being greeted by their aesthetic. The croissant was dry and the extremely underwhelming as it had no density despite how fluffy it appeared. Had a bit of a burnt taste. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Nice little bakery in Pas. Picked up a box of sweets for an event. Service was prompt and friendly. The cost is comparable to most nearby locations. The interior is small, clean, and even has a customer restroom. If you like to stay and enjoy some sweets and coffee, there is plenty of seating outside. Will definitely return when I'm in Pasadena. read more

Having heard so much about the Tartine I wanted to try it. The place is small but has everything you need. I immediately found the baguette and some other sliced bread who is the lady in front of me said they sell out fast. They also sell a variety of baked goods, sandwiches, and of course several of coffee and tea drinks. There is no inside seating, its only outside. Which to me didn't matter since I was grabbing the goods to go. The staff were very helpful and quick to help. I brought home the baguette, sliced bread, a slice of the lemon poppy, and Marble cakes. Look no further THE BREAD is by far the tastiest in town. Will be going back. read more

TLDR: Expect EXTRA 4% SURCHARGE for employee benefit. I strongly suggest asking if the drinks are iced or hot if you have a preference. In addition, if you like larger quantities, ask if they have regular vs large for drinks, since items and charges are not well described / advertised at Tartine. ------ I discovered Tartine while driving in Pasadena and walked in for a quick coffee. Although I was in the mood for food - which looked tasty from the outside - I didn't have the time. I was greeted immediately after walking in, and I ordered the latte. The food that was already prepared looked tasty, and while I was hungry, my wallet pointed my eyes away. On a weekday afternoon, the latte came out within minutes. I was a little disappointed at the extra "4% Employee Benefit" surcharge - a little unusual especially without any real notice. The initial milk foam was a nice texture, but after a while, it tasted like any normal latte. I was disappointed at the size options; I wish there were options to order larger sizes. In addition, the menu wasn't very clear on iced / hot drinks, and I was in the mood for an iced drink. Unfortunately, I was in a rush and didn't think twice about asking. read more

This place is overhyped, expensive for what you get, and the staff is rude. Small portions. Ludicrously priced. On top of it, when you request them to cut it in half, they won't. Not sure why when there isn't even a line. They ask for tip even though they are just doing their job and they. Charge a surcharge for health insurance. Staff was super rude. Just say no. So many better places.​​ read more

Loved their sourdough. Pastries were all delicious. Especially the chocolate cake; rich and decadent. Sandwiches were pretty good but on the fancier side with some interesting sauces. Can't wait to try more. read more

We probably should have ordered what they are known for, but we had the quiche and the breakfast sandwich. Also bought a sliced half loaf of bread. It's in a quiet part of Green St so it's nice to sit outside. The service is fine. Order and then get a number. Both of our meals were ok. Good, but pricey. The loaf was delicious and I am really enjoying that. I would return for the bread. read more

Tartine - Pasadena - Breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

What it this?? Are you actually telling me this is acceptable for any establishment. I mean honesty I can accept this type of food from some no name place but not a bakery that has a excellent reputation. I've been to Tartine in San Francisco and I have never had any issues with the quality of the food nor the appearance or taste of it for that matter. The shift manager for Pasadena should be handling the inspection of order better. They should be monitoring that this type of food does not make it out of the kitchen. As a professional in the industry, not only am I embarrassed that they would serve this but am also highly disappointed. I expect a refund! read more

When Tartine Sycamore opened i used to go all the time. For some reason this location just hasnt held up. Latte's not consistently good and dont taste the same as Sycamore Food menu hasnt rotated in 3 years. I can remember eating delicious sandwiches and breakfasts but the menu here has been stale and the same since it opened. I see items on their instagram that they don't offer at the location. Silver lake seems to be slightly better read more

Very cool worth the wait that Tartine has finally landed in Pasadena. Love the morning buns and the coffee. Great bread and tartines. Mostly street parking here but plenty around - about a 5 min walk from the west edge of old Pasadena over the 201 fwy. Worth the walk. read more

Came here for some yummy food and Tartine didn't disappoint. It was my first time trying the egg sandwich which was served on a sweet potato bun. It was amazingly good! The dill mayo on the bread just added the right touch. Service was great, even in the busy morning. I love sitting outside in their patio area. Such a popular place but I was able to find a table. Since I live about an hour away (in Orange County) I don't come here very often. When I do, I'm so glad I made the trip. read more

I tried Tartine for the first time in SF and followed it to DTLA and now to Pasadena! Opened January 2022 and located on Green Street by luxury condos not too far from Old Town. FOOD: Breakfast Sandwich- eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, seasonal greens, aioli, sweet potato bun. The sandwich itself was mediocre. Eggs were fluffy and the sweet potato bun was so soft which made it a bit hard to eat. It may have been better to order add-ons to jazz up the taste. Otherwise, I would go with a different sandwich next time. Daily Special- Turkey and ham with Gruyère cheese + a pickled carrot on the side. This was a great sandwich and so flavorful! Porridge Bread (precut)- a soft and moist bread that a perfect snack or breakfast choice. Lemon Cake Tea Cake- fragrant and dense in texture with almond powder sugar. A very tasty treat. AMBIANCE: The bakery is unassuming on the outside with several patio seating. PARKING: There is plenty of street parking. PRICE: The prices are on the higher end, but their bread is made daily. Very fresh! So happy to have Tartine nearby to fill my carb loving belly! read more

Have you heard of Tartine bakery? If not, should head over to the newly opened Tartine in Pasadena and try their pastries and breads and then you know why you should definitely know this bakery. They are famous for their artisan pastry and breads. In fact, Tartine was on Neflix's second season Chef Show. In the show, Chad Robertson, the co-owner showed the TV host Jon Fareau and Roy Choi how to make sourdough bread. Every time I go to San Francisco, I have to visit Tartine to get their croissant and sourdough sandwich even though I have to wait in a long line. The bread truly is spectacular, with incredible flavor and texture that may just ruin mass-produced sliced bread for visitors who fall in love with the good stuff. Tartine's San Francisco cafe is a carb-lover's paradise, with multiple different types of delicious rustic and classic French bread recipes baked up fresh daily. When I heard that Tartine is opening a bakery in Pasadena, I was excited and looking forward to its opening. I finally got a chance to visit the bakery today after church. Got myself a regular and an Almond croissant, a sourdough turkey sandwich for my wife and a cup of coffee and ice tea. The croissants are heavenly. They are very butterly and crispy. I loved the multilayer structure of the croissant. That's indication of a good crafted pastry. No wonder Tartine has won so many awards. With technical prowess and refined creativity leading to delicious results, Tartine has won a number of prestigious food awards. It won a James Beard Award for excellence in baking and pastry, and it's regularly named to "best of" lists in the Bay Area and for the United States as a whole. So now that Tartine is here locally with locations throughout LA, we don't have to go to SF in order to get the taste of the famous and delicious breads and pastries. read more

Really good quiche and lovely outdoor seating. Rosella mint iced tea is refreshing and interesting (hibiscus + mint).

Ok Tartine, we have a love/hate thing going on. I love your bread that I take home and make my sammies with. Your morning bun is tasty too. Your sandwiches are ok, but after having it one time, when we came back again and wifey and I ordered one to share, I didn't really care for it. Something is missing. Your chocolate chip cookie and brownie are meh. That brownie tastes like it's been there for a day or two. Not fresh. Your cookie doesn't seem that fresh either, but it's better than the brownie. I also need to give some recognition to your croissants. Pretty darn good. I'm going to keep coming here for the bread when I crave some, and grab a croissant if you have one. The rest I'll skip. Keep rocking that tasty bread. read more

Just had a lemon curd pastry from Tartine-Pasadena. Divine! It just melted in my mouth, and the crust was buttery, crunchy, and so so good! I selected this pastry from a box dropped off at our office by a co-worker's parents and everything else looked scrumptious as well. Taking a gander at the online menu, however, I doubt I will be going there on my own as it is quite expensive, but I'm grateful to have a little taste of the "high life!" read more

Tartine bakery is on green street in a apt building and next to back of Ralph's market. We arrived there at 8:05am and found meter parking across the street. There was line of people to buy bread or pastries. As I got closer to the door, I could smell the aroma of the breads. There was 2 workers working on the online orders for pick up and one worker helping get the orders at the counter. They had a variety of pastries of croissants, tarts, cookies, bread. To get to the cashier, the wait was 20 minutes. After we paid, other 2 workers was able to help at the counter after the online orders. The chocolate croissant was flaky and buttery. It was so delicious when I had my first one at their previous Dtla location. Best to go after 8:30am during weekend-the line is shorter. read more

Order and pick up was easy. The pastries were hit and miss. The ham and cheese croissant was excellent but the morning bun was way too dense and tooth- achingly sweet. Carrot teff GF muffin was good. But everything did feel very expensive for what it was. read more

Took quite a while to get my egg sandwich, but the service was friendly, as were the clientele. Same amazing, delicious food and pastries we've come to expect from Tartine. We were setting out on a road trip, so we also grabbed 3 quiche slices to eat this afternoon for lunch. Everything was delicious. read more

Outstanding pastry. There's a reason there are so many locations of this bakery now. I got there late so the selection was a little sparse. I wound up with a pan au chocolate and a slice of lemon poppyseed loaf. Both were excellent, as expected. read more

A bit pricey but the sandwiches and pastries are really good here! My matcha latte was tasty, however I will request it extra hot next time. The ham and cheese croissant was quite meaty and it was crunchy even though it was sitting at room temperature. I wish my slice of quiche could have been warmed up, but they were baking something in the oven. It was a lot better when I took the leftovers home and popped it in my toaster oven.  My friend and hubby each got the turkey panini sandwich and they both enjoyed it a lot! It was quite meaty and it came with a long pickled carrot!  Street parking only or you can try to take your chance at Ralph's next door.  They do have about 10 tables outside so it was perfect to enjoy our brunch with our doggos. read more

3 stars as in its A-Ok Got a few croissants (couple butter and a chocolate) and a cup of coffee. Was interested in the morning bun but my friend who got it during soft opening didn't think it was very good so I passed on it but might come back and get it in a later date. They seemed to have some issues on opening day, their espresso machine broke (in its first day??!) and they didn't seem well versed on how their credit card machine works despite having had open days during their soft opening to sort out basics like the credit card machine needing to insert card upside down. My 3-star a-ok review has nothing to do with opening day foibles as sh*T happens and it's sometimes beyond your control. The croissants are good, flaky and not "moist" the way most SoCal croissants tend to be. A good croissant should have a crunchy messy shell that crumbles as you bite into it, and then a moist interior. So in that sense it's more authentically French, as I've had in Paris. The chocolate croissant was severely lacking chocolate inside. Needed about 2-3x more than it did. The croissants are very large. So while expensive around $5 each, you're getting a big pastry. 3 croissants and coffee ended up being just over $20, and while I enjoyed it, it didn't blow me away to where I'd rush back. A-ok sums it up nicely. read more

I absolutely loved the subtle orange flavor of the morning bun. I was worried about the parking at this location in Pasadena but there was ample street parking on a Saturday morning.

Located on a quiet street on the edge of Old Town. This a a good option if you're visiting the Norton Simon, and want a better variety for coffee and pastries rather than eat at the onsite cafe. Just around the corner from the museum! The morning bun was on a lot of reviews so I knew I had to order it! Paired with the morning bun latte, it definitely made a nice afternoon treat. I noticed a lot of people were buying loaves of bread, and the cakes looked really good as well so I'll have to come back and try those at some point! read more

Decided to give this place a second chance. Prices are absurd. Light years from cozy. Purchased a croissant $5.50 Asked for some Jam and was charged $2.50. For Jam!?!? Also ordered a cappuccino The cappuccino is very petite and made in the style of a latte. How petite? Well the last time I got a coffee this size, I believe it was on an an economy airplane ride. Hardly any dense foam , mostly milk. Somehow a coffee and croissant ran 14.85 The seating area is always so cold. No heat lamps. Maybe in the summer it's a comfortable morning coffee spot but I'd have to say that it is an uncomfortable experience having your morning coffee in the cold on equally freezing metal tables. I'll pass on this spot and choose Europane bakery any day. All you hear is people on the patio complaining on how cold it is and uncomfortable. And we're all in hoodies and jackets, it's not like we are in shorts. The funniest comment was from a gentlemen who said to his companion, "the man loading the freezer section at Ralph's is more warm than we are. Couldn't you have chosen a cozier place?" Thanks but no thanks Tartine. Just because something is "homemade" doesn't make it good. This jam was so bitter. read more

I must live under a rock to not know that there is a Tartine in Pasadena. Morning buns are a hit and the iced lattes are perfection (just wish they had a large size).

There was plenty of 2 hour street parking on a Sunday at noon. read more

They have a convenient little hand washing station right outside the restroom, self-serve water dispensers, and plenty of napkins available for people to use.
