Balthazar Cafe - Pasadena

The staff here are absolutely wonderful. The food is delicious! The salad is vibrant and beautiful. The chicken parmigiana is a reasonable portion size, and the toppings are flavorful.

We had an excellent first meal at Balthazar tonight. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. They offer a great selection of wines, and you absolutely must try the Chocolate Belgian Waffle for dessert!

Incredible experience! I decided to treat myself to breakfast on Sunday morning since I wasn't in the mood to cook. The place was bustling, but there were plenty of tables available. It was nice and quiet, allowing for a good conversation without loud music in the background. The food was outstanding and offered at a fantastic price, with generous portions. I can't emphasize enough how delicious Nonna's eggs were—absolutely to die for! The salty chorizo paired perfectly with the flavorful Napoletana sauce, creamy cheese, and perfectly poached eggs. My partner ordered the "big man’s breakfast," and it looked fantastic. He loved it, especially with all the perfectly cooked bacon. I highly recommend checking this place out—it’s truly great!

Love this place. Friendly staff and great coffee and food. Been here for breakfast and lunch and have been impressed with everything I've ordered. Love the paninis and pasta especially

Surprised to see just 38 reviews so far..... for a place that's been doing so well for 4+ years. I rated 4/5 purely bcos this is the only cafe besides sumac where you can get good coffee, in the vicinity until 9pm.The staff consistently provide a friendly service. Draws a lot of family crowd from the nearby retirement villages. Latte is the best bet. Most of the breakfast options are good esp lepinja. Pizzas and risottos are very average.i have never tried steak there but my friends love the sea food platter and salmon.
