    Tasty food. Portions big enough to split the breakfast sandwich with my husband. Good coffee and friendly, helpful staff. We love the dog-friendly, pretty patio.

    Heirloom is a great place to enjoy breakfast, brunch and lunch. Their desserts look amazing and we will for sure be trying them next time. My fiancé and I shared the French chicken sandwich and the breakfast burrito with potatoes. Both were delicious and portioned perfectly for the price. The staff was friendly and the patio is great for enjoying the weather under the shade.

    Smiles, excellent coffee and sumptuous dishes, all the classics, plus daily specials -- what more can you ask for? Excellent omelette and chilaquiles, all served freshly prepared and friendly. Portions are ample

    The coffee is super rich & delicious. The food is fresh and yummy! We'll totally be back, as there is plenty of free parking and we can bring the doggies to chill in the patio with us 😊

    Unfortunately the food we ordered was so good we ate it too fast for me to get pictures. We ordered their half size Cobb salad and also their breakfast salad. Both were yummy! I'd definitely go back to try more things on their menu.

    Well, I love this place. I am so impressed by their variety. And believe it or not, I had never eaten a key lime pie before I came here. I used to have chocolate Hostess cupcakes as a kid and was glad to try their rendition. Cinnamon rolls are not too bad, either. So far I've also tried their Cuban sandwich, egg salad sandwich, roast beef sandwich, and Asian Chicken salad. All were very good. Located conveniently right next to the Metro Rail.

    Woman at the register didn't seem to like that I didn't tip on a takeout order. She couldn't be bothered to give me eye contact when handing me my receipt or even say "thank you". Won't be returning.

    A lovely cafe with the sweetest staff ever. These ladies are so friendly and attentive! Very cute with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor patio seating. Parking can be a bit hard to find, there are some lots and street spaces nearby. There’s a bathroom outside too, just ask staff for the door code. Decent prices and decent food. The quiche of the day was flavorful with great texture, and the Spanish latte was excellent. Would recommend and definitely go back

    Quality was quite good on the quiche! Not sure on the mocha; if I accidentally got a latte instead it was good but light on the coffee in my book; if it was actually a mocha (some chocolate seemingly on the bottom) then not so great. I get to whole move to paper straws but it lasted under 5 minutes and the rest of my order took over 15, so the moist gooey paper flavor doesn't help either. 🤷‍♂️. So, seems to be a good cozy coffee with a bite kind of place, which is my kind of place, but unless I happen to move nearby and want a relaxing walk and hangout, then it doesn't suit me as well as others even though there's a lot to like about this place. It's quite busy as a measure.

    My husband and I love it here. The food is good, not over priced and they have a very decent selection. I ordered the quiche with fresh fruit my husband ordered an omelet with potatoes. The portions are big (not complaining 🐷) and the fruit was actually very sweet and fresh. We went on a Sunday morning and it was packed, we luckily got a table outside but I saw a number of people looking/waiting for a place to sit. Parking wasn't an issue, we found street parking on the same block.

    This place has decent food for local neighbors. UNFORTUNATELY where should I start I came here many times and each time certain STAFF MEMBERS MAKE YOU FEEL UNWELCOME , THEY BE LITTLE YOU WHEN PLACING AN ORDER, THROW CHANGE IN YOUR HAND AFTER PAYING. Old miserable staff members over 40 that never made it I life, that settled to work in a cafe. Should I say more. The owner is nice. She should really get a new staff!!!! I’m reading Years of the same complaints ! I’m not returning.

    Love Heirloom bakery. So many delicious choices. Good coffee too. When I have listings in South Pasadena, I always stop at Heirloom for lunch.

  • 5/5 Alex F. 1 year ago on Google
    The most perfect vanilla latte and avocado toast 😍 and everyone who works there is really sweet!

    I love this place - friendly, nice folks! Fabulous coffee- stuffed croissants - interesting scones & great choices for lunch. Period.

  • 4/5 Natt M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice venue, good food. I am not sure how receptive they would have been if I were alone. In all fairness, I will go again and have lunch alone. I use to frequent this area (the Mexican restaurant down the street) back in the 80s.

  • 4/5 Regina T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very expensive! Two omelets, two Matchas and two scones - $58.00. The food and service were good. The food was fresh and prepared to order and quickly. They charged an extra $1.50 per omelet advising due to the increase in the cost of eggs, they added this charge. They also charged $1.00 for almond milk in our Matchas.

    Absolutely love this bakery and cafe! This is one of the most unique places to eat at in South Pasadena. Their food and service are amazing. They have very unique pastries and side dishes as well. It is a must stop for breakfast or brunch if you are in the city. I highly recommend dropping in for a bite.

    I had a great meal and experience. I got the French Chicken Sandwich along with the Hostess cupcake. The sandwich was delicious and the cupcake was not my favorite haha. When asked how my food was, I informed them how I enjoyed the sandwich and not so much the cupcake. They were kind enough to give me one of their Red Velvet cupcakes to try. I was embarrassed about it after but grateful for their kindness 😅. Overall, I highly enjoyed my Heirloom and will definitely be going back again.

    I've only been here twice but both times it's been... Interesting. The first time I visited was to pickup a "hostess" cupcake for my niece and they immediately started telling me the kitchen is closed and what I couldn't order. Not even a hello. My second time here was today, again no greeting. I walk up to the cashier area to input my order and a worker tells me I can't stand there and makes me move even though I told her I was trying to order. Someone then takes my order only to ask me to walk back to the cashier area I was at when they lady made me move. I knew that's where you pay... So I don't know why they made me move only to then ask me to walk back immediately after. As someone that works in the restaurant business, they need to be more friendly to anyone that walks in through the door. You never know if the long haired guy in a leather jacket might be a Chef just looking for bite on a rainy day. The Cubano sandwich was okay...

  • 2/5 Chris V. 11 months ago on Google
    sandwich was great, but to-go packaging sadly unsustainable, big single use plastic box that could have fit a whole cake. I felt bad about my purchase, but when I saw it it was already too late, I was only able to prevent them from putting it into an additional plastic bag

    The first time here I loved everything about this place. The workers were nice, and the food was great. I can't wait to try the coffee
