Charming cafe with excellent breakfast food! I loved the crunchy French toast with fresh fruit 😋 It is a small place but the wait isn’t usually too long. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I also enjoy looking at the art on the walls. Parking is a little tricky sometimes but it is well worth the effort. Convenient location. Will be back for more

Much better than other alternatives (like Russell's). Fantastic french toast lived up to the namesake claim: fantastic! Crunchy and sweet on the outside, chewy and sour in the inside. Nicely balanced. The maple syrup served was decent, not exactly AAA grade, but good enough. The Texas chili omlette had a nice kick. Gets you going in the morning. Just enough cheese to make it cheesy. OJ was fresh squeezed. The prices were much more reasonable than others in the area for sure. What you get here seems to be a much better deal for great taste, nice service, and clean environment.

Breakfast in Pasadena! This quaint little place is small but seems to draw a dedicated local crowd. Always a good sign of good food. Service is prompt and food drives very quickly. The omelets are all made with three eggs and plenty of feeling so if your only moderately hungry, share it with a friend. The Texas Chili omelette is amazing and you'll want the avocado and sour cream on top. we split that and decided to share the blueberry pancakes on the side but I wouldn't recommend those. Didn't really need them and the blueberry flavor was lacking. This is one that I would go back to for sure!

Definitely one of the most popular breakfast restaurants in all of Pasadena. It’s very laid-back and you feel as if you are eating inside someone’s home. The wait times are never as long here as some other restaurants close by but also it’s not the best option in town. Russell‘s, a few blocks away, is the best breakfast in Pasadena in my opinion, but Marston’s is still worth visiting. They have an extremely tiny and narrow parking lot with free parking otherwise it will be street parking. They have a fairly large menu filled with a lot of good options and our server was very polite. Inside is not very large and just has table seating, there is not a counter. The food here is good, but not great. For my first visit I chose the special - Crab Cake Benedict and thought it was just OK. The crabcakes did not have as much flavor as I had recently and I really did not enjoy the side of potatoes. I would suggest offering hashbrowns instead. I also felt it was a bit overpriced for what we got in return and honestly I don’t think I would visit again given the other breakfast options close by.

Enjoyed the patio seating in the morning, was more calm and quiet having seen how crowded it was inside. I enjoyed my omelette very much. I did try a bite of the pulled pork eggs Benedict, not much flavor there. They do have their own parking lot, but it’s very small. There is some street parking available. Wasn’t aware of the 3% surcharge for using a credit card.

We celebrated our friend’s birthday at Marston's restaurant in Pasadena, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The ambiance exuded a classic American fair vibe, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The star of the show was undoubtedly the amazing salmon sandwich – perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. However, the real showstopper was the bread pudding. It's no exaggeration to say that it's the best bread pudding I've ever had, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a heavenly combination of flavors. The service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and accommodating throughout the meal. The fact that there are ample parking spaces on the side was a pleasant surprise, making the whole experience even more convenient. In summary, Marston's restaurant in Pasadena is a gem for lovers of great American fair food. The outstanding salmon sandwich and divine bread pudding, along with the attentive service and convenient parking, make it a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

A great place for breakfast! I had buttermilk pancakes with a side of potatoes. Very good. My mom ordered a side of sausage and eggs with her pancakes which were very good as well! The atmosphere and location is what makes this place special though. Just a short walk from Old Town Pasadena.

This place serves classic American food, best known for their breakfast and lunch. Their French toast is quite famous. The menu has not changed much in the last few years . My California omelette was delicious but came out really oily. The potatoes were also oily and were not evenly cooked. So sad about the quality of the food today.

French toast with the cornflake coating is a cool idea it just needs flavor! Like cinnamon and vanilla extract incorporated into the mixture. Taste is pretty much not there
