Art Lunch Pasadena Reviews
We stumbled upon this place while heading to another brunch spot and decided to give it a try based on the inviting ambience best spontaneous decision! The egg and cheese burrito was perfect, and the variety of food options was impressive. What really stood out was the warm welcome from the two gentlemen at the front. Their kindness set the tone for the whole experience. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this spot to anyone in the Pasadena area. You won’t be disappointed
Great fresh breakfast and lunch options along with many delicious baked goods. You should know that the breakfast entrees and sandwiches are large. The American Breakfast was huge, and I could only eat half of a breakfast burrito. We tried the Armenian Gata, which was delightful with excellent coffee. Very friendly service, comfortable seating and pleasant music. Plenty of street parking. Nice vibe for the whole place.
We ordered catering for our gender reveal party and everything was absolutely delicious! The food was so tasty that all of our guests kept asking where it was from and giving compliments all evening. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Thank you so much for making our celebration even more special — we will definitely be ordering again!
Absolutely divine. I’m not one to like sausage this way but my gosh were these tasty. The salad, silly as it may sound was my favorite. Potatoes were soft, yet flaky. The place has an uplifting vibe and staff is super friendly. Robert was fantastic! Highly recommend the American Dream breakfast.
Art Lunch was such a beautiful space to eat. We ordered Paklava, and asked for it to be warmed up. Honey was dripping from the wooden platter and it was delightful 😋 We were also given a slice of Honey 🍯 cake (on the house). The layers wet4 absolutely decadent. Get to Art Lunch, you palate will thank you!
We had a delightful, festive Thanksgiving Lunch. The turkey was moist and flavorful, all the other dishes the texture was just incredible We would recommend this restaurant, for those seeking a traditional Thanksgiving feast . Our Package came with Turkey , gravy , Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, Mac and cheese , green bean casarole , beet & arugula salad, pasta salad , corn bread , 2 kind of dinner rolls . pumpkin pie . We Still have leftovers the portions were generous . Process to pick-up was well organized. We were thrilled with it.
We absolutely love Art Lunch Café! ✨ It’s such a beautiful, fancy, cozy place — and the food is beyond delicious! 😍 The staff is super friendly, and Smiley and the whole team are just the sweetest people ever! We’ve been coming here for several days in a row because it’s just that good — and the menu is so fun and diverse. Yesterday we had the English and Armenian breakfasts, and today we tried their omelets and signature waffles — everything was perfect! 🧇🍳 And the coffee… oh my god, the coffee is incredible! ☕️ Thank you so much to the amazing team for making every morning here so special! 🫶💖
We absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, the staff is super friendly, and the service is top-notch. The breakfasts are incredible, and the menu has something for everyone. Everything is always fresh and well prepared. Highly recommend! This is our go-to spot for breakfast:)
I come to Art Lunch almost every day for my lunch break! Amazing staff and service, delicious food, and affordable prices. I have been loving the Armenian Tomato Omlette lately, as good as my grandma made!
I had breakfast at this cozy cafe in Pasadena and it was fantastic! The food was incredibly tasty, and our order arrived very quickly. The service was professional and attentive, and the manager was especially kind—after breakfast, he even treated us to honey cake and Gata. Such a warm and welcoming experience—I’ll definitely be coming back!
Eggs and cheese burrito is so delicious I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture lol. Food is AMAZING, priced well and staff is very kind and friendly. Stopped by just for what I thought was a quick bite but now I’m hooked!! Will definitely be coming back to try lunch menu :)
Cute and clean with a friendly staff. The food is good and the environment is pleasant. They were playing jazz music on my last visit.
It’s a cute little spot , nice sitting , great service and delicious abundant portions. Drip coffee is included with the special breakfast options. My latte was delicious as well. Don’t miss out on the merengue cake .
The food is delicious, the fresh vegetables, the eggs are on point and their coffee is amazing. I will come back many times.
This place is awesome. I got the English Breakfast and it was a huge serving for only $19, the beans were delicious, the ingredients were fresh and the salad was dressed deliciously with balsamic. The perfect lunch. The staff is so friendly, and the owner gave me a hot cinnamon roll for no reason. The cinnamon roll is so bomb, cooked to perfection. I felt like a queen here and I must return!!!!
Everything about this place is wonderful. Homemade baked goods. Delicious and creative food. Friendly and capable staff. Wish we lived closer.
Wow, what an amazing place! The Mediterranean food is so fresh and delicious. The pastries and cakes are great, and we found out that Eva is the talented baker who makes them every morning. The service is also really good. Ana took our order and made us feel at home, and Mickey served it to us on a beautifully decorated plate. The restaurant just opened a few weeks ago, so I hope it will flourish. Also, the prices are really low. You can get a big breakfast plate for only $12...

Great food. Amazing customer care. Affordable prices. California omelette was delicious
Nice place for a casual lunch. The food was fresh and tasty, with good portion sizes. Staff was friendly and attentive, though service was a little slow. Overall, a solid choice for a midday meal.
Everything was absolutely delicious! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The place is very cozy inside with a warm and inviting atmosphere. We really enjoyed everything — such a great spot. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!
You can get excellent freshly cooked breakfast here. We had fantastic omelettes, one Armenian with basturma and the other with turkey and cheese. Super satisfied with the speed of service, the quality of the food, and the portion sizes. They also have great savoury and sweet pastries. Definitely recommended!

Very lovely cafe. I ordered the chorizo burrito, it was delicious and great portion. It has a nice ambiance and beautiful desserts. I really enjoyed my breakfast here.
They do quality food and incredible service perfectly at Art Lunch!!! Everything I’ve tried at this cafe has been delicious and fresh. I also used their catering service for my wedding morning and had an amazing experience. The team was communicative, organized, and very generous.
Absolutely loved the Avocado Smoothie! 🥑 It’s creamy, fresh, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, just the right texture. You can really taste the quality and freshness in every sip. The staff were super friendly and the place itself has such a cozy vibe. Definitely my new favorite drink at Art Lunch USA! 💚
We stopped by Art Lunch in Pasadena for lunch after my wife’s chiropractor visit. We ordered the Club Sandwich with Orange Juice, and everything hit the spot. The club sandwich was fresh and delicious, and while the orange juice wasn’t freshly squeezed, it was still really tasty. The French fries were outstanding — Super crispy and flavorful, they honestly reminded me of The Hat’s famous fries. I also treated myself to a Chocolate Cookie and a Vanilla Cupcake, and both were absolutely delicious. The desserts tasted homemade and added the perfect sweet touch to the meal. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server was so kind and welcoming, offering helpful suggestions and even bringing us free ranch and mustard. The atmosphere is just as impressive because it makes or break if I come back or not. The restaurant is super clean, modern, and really nice. Plus, they bake their own fresh bread, which is always a huge plus in my book. Overall, Art Lunch is definitely a gem in Pasadena. Delicious food, amazing service, and a warm, inviting environment. I’ll definitely be coming back!
I ordered the Classic Croissant Sandwich toasted. My friends got the waffles and the English breakfast. They said both were pretty average and not super filling. They do not take your order at the table but you pay at the counter first before they serve it when it's ready. It tasted pretty good with the first few bites but felt greasy after eating half of it. Maybe because there was a lot of mayonnaise. It was also just a very basic sandwich like the name says. The food does look pretty good on the plate though. There wasn't much of a wait for a table because someone happened to be done eating right when we came. The sandwich was served after around 10 minutes, and they also gave complimentary lemonade drink, which was pretty good. This place is pretty mid overall, wouldn't come back again since there isn't anything special. The prices are pretty affordable though. The employees weren't super friendly and helpful since they just take your order at the counter.

I was really excited to try something new at Art Lunch, but the spicy chicken and potato wedges were a big disappointment. The photos show juicy red chicken covered in sauce, but mine came out pale with barely any sauce at all and the flavor was a harsh buffalo hot that did not match what was advertised. The potatoes were okay, but overall the meal fell flat and did not live up to the pictures or the price.
