    What a gem of a place Old Sasoon was! Many moons ago I had the pleasure of helping someone open an Armenian cafe back home. So as soon as I saw the word Sasoon, I had to barrel towards the shop and try not to buy everything on the menu. I loved everything I got to take home today. The lahmajoun wraps, the khachapuri, the baked soujouk pies. My oh my. Every single items were just divine. It made my day. The store has several street parking spots available right in front of the store and in the surrounding areas. There's also plenty of seatings available inside and outside. Many opted to eat outside as it was a nice day. Bathroom is gender neutral and very clean too. So if anyone is wanting some savory breakfast/ early lunch as many related stores are closed Tuesday or doesn't reopen until 1100, this is the place to go!

    LOVED. Ambiance is very local spot vibes and casual. There likely will be a small wait but service is fast and efficient. Got the khachapuri with soujouk. Omgggggg this is a dish I want to eat again and again. The cheesiness. The egg. The deliciously spiced meat. The pillowy bread. Perfection. Can't wait to come back and try literally everything else.

    I love support local and specialty food. I was hungry but not that hungry...you know that's feeling, you want something hearty but not heavy. Found this Mediterranean/Georgian style food. I ordered ahead and got the mushroom turn over. It was just enough . Warm and fluffy turnover. Little spice, little kick to it but not overpowering. I took it to go. But the restaurant is very nice and clean. They are James Beard award winner for best baker. The owner was there and she was nice.

    Coming out of the woodwork to give some credit to a local favorite of many. I wish it didn't take me so long to finally think of it for breakfast on a beautiful, sunny, Saturday morning. The two things we ordered were their khachapuri with chorizo and shakshuka. Both of which were the perfect amount of comfort in comfort foods. Shakshukas have always been a favorite of mine and the one here was a good tomato blend with three eggs. As for their famous khachapuri-- it was delicious, savory, filling. We were already thinking of what topping combinations we would want on our next visit. The table was also given a solid set extra wrap, onions, mint and tomato. Didn't even get to the flatbreads, beorags, or baklavas yet because after this morning's stroll over, we hope to make more visits to try more menu items as we go. Thank you Old Sasoon for existing. See you again real soon!

    I have been coming to this bakery for well over a decade. It is such a classic in the East Pasadena area. Recently I drove by and was reminded that it was time to try it again. I noticed the place was full of regulars and had a very vibrant energy. The house coffee they serve is delicious and piping hot. They were out of a couple of things I wanted but some of the fellow customers suggested their favorites and I ended up with a delicious mix of items. I always get some lahna June. I also picked up the stuffed cheese and nasturma bread and stuffed mushroom pastry. I loved how it was full of mushrooms with no filler. I didn't expect it to have the spicy kick that it did. Some red peppers were added in but they were not too spicy in my opinion. I was so happy they had the jingalov hats, flatbread stuffed with a mixture of greens and herbs. I find this item so clean and refreshing. I often go pick them up in Glendale but it's nice to have them in Pasadena as well. Everything heated up wonderfully in the air fryer which warmed it through and kept all the crispy edges.

    Absolutely wonderful bakery that is great for breakfast or brunch. The food is fresh, authentic, and tastes wonderful. The star of the show is definitely the khachapuri, cooked to perfection and super satisfying. The owners are so nice and treat you like family. The interior is so clean and cozy.

    Delicious food and the very kind owner took great care of us, even giving us an extra piece of baklava for free! Everything is handmade and fresh and the care really shows. Great place.

    The Standout: Basturma and the Soujouk Turnover. Absolutely my favorite item. The Khachapuri was good, don't get me wrong, but it was hard shove in mouth and I am Not a fan of runny eggs. But the Turnover $4, what a tasty treat that is grab and go! What a delicious pocket of cheese and protein goodness. Be warned that the Soujouk can squirt oil! But dayum it was worth every bite! Warm it up for 10 seconds and it will legit blow your mind!

    Foul Wrap
    Roberta T.

    Three blocks from my house--why don't I go here more!!! I had a lovely lunch at their sidewalk tables, a foul (fava beans) wrap. It took a minute to be ready because they make everything fresh!! My friend got the khachapuri which looked amazing!! I will get that next time. So many great dishes to choose from and I love supporting our community so I'll be back!!

    DELICIOUS

The smoked salmon was perfect, the egg was super runny just how I like it, and the potatoes were the perfect portion--crispy and flavorful. The salad on the side was also really refreshing and balanced everything out well. We also tried the smoked salmon omelette, and I would say this one was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but I expected more flavor. It ended up being my least favorite dish out of everything we ordered. For dessert, we got the toffee banana crepe with ube ice cream and wow... this was definitely the highlight. So good and we finished the whole thing. I would honestly come back just for this.

The delivery took about 50 minutes to get to me after ordering and I was a bit nervous about how soggy both would be, especially the chilaquiles since I like when the chips are mostly hard still. I was pleasantly surprised and thankful that the salsa for the chilaquiles came on the side and though the waffle wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be, it was thick and fluffy and tasted great with the toppings. The salsa for the chilaquiles had a kick to them that I enjoyed and it went great with the cheese, red onions, and sunny side egg that came with it. I definitely would want to check this place out in person and try their other options as well!

I don't know what "candy" you're on about...

Not gonna lie was worried about a fishy flavor but my first bite was savory, buttery and delicious. Bravo! Hubby tore into his croissant and I never got a bite. It's ok. Loved my quiche. My salad had a tad too much acid (vinegar heavy) so I'd work that for the future. Truly a gem of a place.
