    Damn their good ass French toast! Seriously, a place like this should have a much better customer service. I don't know what it is, but the guy that took our order gave off the worst vibe possible. It made it seem as though our presence there was annoying him in some way. Maybe it was, but since it's your fucking job, at least ACT like you give a shit. As I was saying. Their French toast was fantastic. That alone was enough to warrant a visit. Not to mention their other pastries was really good too. Bottom line: Get there early, get French toast(and some other goodies), ignore shitty server.

    Dined: 4/17/10 I love you Food Network. Part of my LA food trip weekend, I came here for the Egg Salad Sandwich from the episode The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Served Cold. It looks simple enough, open-faced soft-boiled egg salad sandwich served on top of cranberry walnut bread, with a sun-dried tomato spread and some greens... Yum! It's like eating a bunch of deviled eggs on top of crunchy bread. The sun-dried tomato (at least I think that's what it is) adds a nice bite to the subtlety of the egg salad. There were about 3-4 eggs piled on there. I also tried their macaroons. There were 6 on display that did not have the flavors listed. I got one of each without asking what they were. =) I *think* the flavors were some sort of chocolate fudge, pistachio, berry, cookies and cream and caramel... not even sure what the last one was. All were delicious. I saved some for the next day and was delightfully surprised that the shell was still nice and crispy yet chewy. Despite all the other sandwiches and baked goods they have, I will probably stick to the egg salad sandwich and the macaroons. =)

    I have searched high and low for the ultimate cinnamon bun and it is at Euro Pane on Colorado ave Pasadena, CA. I have tried a few of their other pastries, breakfast plates and quiches and they are all absolutely first rate. The cinnamon bun has me hooked....had 3 today. In the morning the cinnamon buns are still warm out of the oven.

    I thought to myself, I should give this place another go. Big mistake. Got there between 2pm and 3pm on a Saturday. There was only one more person ahead of me. There were two individuals who were working behind the counter. One individual was assisting the person in front of me. The other pretended that I didn't exist. And then after the other individual finished ringing up the customer in front of me, she also joined in pretending that I didn't exist. I waited for about 5 more minutes and turned around and left. I am *NEVER* coming back. Zero stars because I couldn't even get one single item.

    All I can say is "Sea Salt Caramel Macaroon", Absolutely love it. It is definitely a weekly treat for me! I have also tried the espresso, raspberry, hazelnut. The only one that I didn't like was pistachio. I have also tried the egg salad sandwich on walnut current bread. A little hard to eat as it is open face sandwich, but....YUM!

    Came for brunch on Tuesday early noon. The place was not packed at all, and there was three staff serving. I had to wait more than 5 minutes to place my order, as no one would take it (the woman at the counter was talking on the phone, the rest was walking around ignoring me). After ordering a delicious-looking salmon sandwich, I sat at my table and waited 17 (SEVENTEEN) minutes for it. It's a sandwich, honestly, what could take so long? The only explanation I came up with is they had no salmon available and had to run to the nearby Target to buy some. The dish was OK, a sandwich is a sandwich though. The bread was better than average American bread, but not of European quality -- too full of air (source: I'm European). Definitely not worth the $10 it cost me. Would not come here again.

    This review is only on the macarons. Yes. Macarons. Not macaroons! With a colorful selection of macarons, Euro Pane definitely impresses me beyond all expectations. I personally thought that the oreo looking pastry would taste like well.. an oreo. But I WAS WRONG. I was so wrong that I slapped myself when I discovered the truth. The cookie looks hard but it is oh so soft and delicious. Smashed between the two chewy semi crunchy cookies is a delicious creme. The marriage between the different textures and two flavors (cookie & creme) makes me wet my pants just thinking about it. I tried the sea salt and the espresso and pistachio. Pistachio was definitelly....interesting.. although I wouldn't get it again. The sea salt was absolutely amazing. I'm a major salt user and the sea salt on the macaron enhanced the flavor and added a new level to the taste. The Espresso one was really delicious as well with its chocolatey creme...mmm.... In the end, I only have two words for you: Come Here. (: The end. P.s. parking might be hard to find, so here's mah tip! If you continue east (?) on colorado, you will see a Rite Aid. Park behind the Rite Aid and it's a really quick, short walk to Euro Pane. Happy eating and bring and extra pair of undies ;).

    I love this place. Their pastries are awesome and their sandwiches are just as good. I would particularly recommend the tuna on ciabatta/baguette, egg salad on toasted olive bread or tomato and feta on pretty much any bread. The protein/bread combo is really key, if you get the wrong bread you may not be happy with your sandwich. Their french macaroons are good but they're almond cookie is to die for. Don't forget to order their homemade berry tea, tarty deliciousness. A bit pricey but always worth it :).

    It started with the pastries and then moved onto the lunchables. There is an exquisite assortment of tarts and breads that changes HOURLY! The tea sssortment is nifty and the drinks are well foamed. There is a swell selection of homemade marshmallows and granola at the counter just itching for you to take home and everything is just so dandy. It should be, it ain't cheap cheap. Well, it could be if you stick with one or two items I always need to bring something home! I just had my first sandwich there this week and it was fabulous though a wee heavy handed with the mustard. The tomatoes were garden perfect and the sourdoughwas delightful. The owner, Sumi once created fanciful food for La Brea Bakery. I am so happy for Europane! Try it! Especially the chocolate cookies which are heavenly! *Oct 2008-I took a friend here for her birthday and we had the most divine bit of quiche I have ever tasted! Fluffy egg and butternut squash on a pie crust with a puff pastry top. Delicious. It ain't cheap partaking of the goodies here at Europane but I still believe it is worth it. And yes, the sea salt macaroon is heavenly. If you go for the macaroons please don't get a sweet coffee drink, stick with the latte, it makes for a better experience. **There are new folks operating the parking lot and it is no longer free. It may only be a buck for the first hour but that would be one buck less to go towards my maccaron if I were to pop in and out for a cookie. If you're going to stay for the hour, a buck isn't too bad but if you are only picking up a treat, troll the blvd for a free spot...Darn parking lot folks!

    This place has the best coffee and pastries! I am a baker, so I am very picky about my baked goods--and these top the charts! We try to go here every Sunday, just for fun--we love it!

    Ham was so inedible I had to spit it out. Maybe order the veggies instead. Service was disorganized with no way to tell people their order was ready when sitting outside. Bread was lovely as was the owner. Once they fix their quality of meat - I think this will be a great breakfast place.

    Damn good sandwich and desserts. Nuff said. If its good, its good. I got the Ham & Cheese sandwich with the Walnut and Cranberry bread. It was so tasty and soft. Either I was really hungry, it was really tasty or both!

    J. Gold put it on the top 99, so I made a mental note to give this little bakery a try. Small, quaint little spot. My Euro Pane man didn't even laugh when I asked him what J.G. would order. Without hesitation he replied- "Mr. Gold gets a chocolate croissant and a macchiato." Sounds great, and it was. Admittedly, I don't have a ton of croissant experience. But I imagine this is about as good as it gets outside of France. Warm, flaky, almost crispy outside. Delightfully moist layers of pastry and chocolate on the inside. A perfect breakfast treat. Gold does it again.

    I have worked in Pasadena for the past three years and only discovered Euro Pane about a year ago. Sadly, my company will be moving to Glendale after next week, and my coworkers and I won't be able to make our once-a-week, sometimes-twice trips to the finest bakery cafe I've ever visited. I even come to Euro Pane on weekends whenever possible with my husband. I took my cousin and her friend, who were visiting from Washington, here also, and they too thought it was the best. I haven't tried everything, but everything I have tried has been so incredibly high quality I didn't bat an eye when I saw the slightly pricey total on the register. I'm addicted to the tomato and feta sandwich, and the red pepper and goat cheese is also amazing. My coworkers and I usually split one dessert when we go, and we've tried the vanilla tart with raspberries, the macadamia (?) nut tart, a sponge cake with cream and berries, the vanilla tart with blueberries and blackberries and raspberries, something with plums...and more. Yesterday we had a red velvet cupcake. The cream cheese frosting appeared to have flecks of vanilla and was topped with white chocolate shavings. On my own on the weekends, I've also tried the sea salt, hazelnut and pistachio macarons. I don't think I need to say anything more about those since they've been reviewed so extensively. As for the service...well, I honestly have never had bad service here. The employees aren't fake and smiley, and yes, it can get extremely crowded so they don't have time to refill the jug of ice water on the counter, but everyone is perfectly nice. And yesterday, because I got stuck at the end of a long line after my coworkers had already ordered since I was saving a table for us, one of the guys who works there came up to me, took my order so it would come out with my friends' and told me I could just pay afterward. Sweet! Even though my company is moving to Glendale (where my coworkers and I will become regulars at Porto's), the happy ending is that my husband and I are moving to Pasadena in November, hopefully within walking distance of Euro Pane.

    Euro Pane's French-style macaroons are the best in Los Angeles. I'm confident in making that statement given that I've sampled macaroons from practically every bakery that makes these scrumptious little pieces of pure delight (which are nothing like the coconut macaroon). Let me explain. We actually served these macaroons at our wedding instead of the traditional wedding cake. After falling in love the macaroons from the world renowned Laduree in Paris, my husband and I scoped out bakery after bakery in search of the perfect macaroon for our reception. It was a tough task to undertake (sarcasm), but Euro Pane took the prize! Our guests still rave about the macaroons. (No one remembers what my dress looked like or our first dance, but they sure remember the macaroons!) They were a big hit! And the pastry chef/owner, Sumi, was very pleasant and made us the perfect macaroons. Note that these macaroons are a little larger than a traditional French macaroon, but the texture and consistency are at par with the Laduree macaroons. My personal favorite is the chocolate/caramel with sea salt, but the pistachio, lavender, and coffee flavors are also delectable. These pastries are simply exquisite! The chocolate chip cookies at Euro Pane are also pretty special. They are soft and have a meringue-like texture. I'm not a big fan of egg salad, but from what I hear Euro Pane's is fantastic. I'll take your word for it. Just give me my macaroons!

    My sister and I are Food Network freaks. So when we saw Euro Pane (just a stone's throw from MPK!) on TV serving what Adam Gertler called "the best egg sandwich" he's ever eaten, we were sold! Its exterior fooled me--it's in a pretty beat-up lookin' plaza, so when passing it by car, it doesn't look so appealing. But walk up to it and it's a cute mod little café! The menu is pretty limited--it's basically sandwiches and pastries. The egg salad sandwich was really good! Not the typical tartar sauce, potato salad-like thing... It was simple--about the perfectly cooked eggs (I think with a smidge of something fatty to make it a little creamier and moister?) on crusty artisan bread. I felt like a foodie eating this dish!! I love my eggs jusssssssssst cooked--and these eggs were so soft and the slightest bit still-runny, served on toasted, crunchy bread. The contrast in texture made it fun to eat. :-D My sister also ordered the multigrain raisin scone...(I think). I've never had a scone before. This thing was really good though--it tasted like a big big shortbread cookie! Very crumbly and slightly sweet...almost bland--which I like. I felt like a British lady at high tea. Anywhos, my sister said it's normally supposed to hold together more...I don't know though. It was pretty good to me! My bro and bro-in-law got chicken salad and turkey sandwiches. They weren't that impressed. But hello! Adam Gertler said to order the egg salad! And seriously, everyone was doing it...Get with the program, guys! So get the egg salad! It was delightful! Pricey though--$7.50 for an open face "sandwich"...READ: one slice of bread. :-|

    We ordered: -EGG SALAD (open faced) SANDWICH- This was really good. The sun dried tomato paste was a nice touch -TURKEY SANDWICH- not so good... do not order this. It totally lacked flavor -MACARONS- this was was the highlight of my trip here. Their macarons were chewy..which I LOVE. My favorite was was the salted caramel.

  • Julia S.

    I've been coming here for FOREVER and I LOVE it! Quite honestly everything in the store is delicious, and I especially love the sweet treats :D YUM. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but not over the top. I one thing I'm bummed about is it's location. It's such an awesome bakery, and it always has customers inside, but I feel like it would get more attention if the outside, and the shops around it, looked a little bit more... put together. Obviously that isn't really change-able, and the inside it quite nicely done and cozy, but I feel like too many people aren't coming inside and seeing how awesome it is because they're judging a book by it's cover. There is another Europane, owned by the same woman, a little bit farther down Colorado, and it is ALWAYS super crowded because the outside looks more modern and put together I guess. So maybe it's a good thing that the this Europane doesn't look that that because it would be a lot more crowded, but I don't know, sorry for my rant :P Anyways, this is an awesome bakery with great food! You've GOT to come here!!!

    If you want to be treated like shit while ordering from a golden selection of lunch fare, this place may be for you! Prepare to flex the wallet a bit. The gourmet sandwiches are well worth it though. I splurged and went for the salmon on olive bread, Mediterranean salad and a sweetie bread twist--and that was all split with my sweetie! We got full and didn't feel like beached whales when we peeped a flick at the cheapie theater across the street. My imagination tells me that the staff is a bunch of disdained twenty-somethings clawing frantically away from a vortex of credit card debt incurred after backpacking through Switzerland for a year and a half. And now, for the love of god, they are stuck in Pasadena again. Scoff. Ugh.

  • S. F.

    Highly recommend. Started with a yummy chocolate croissant - wasn't overly decadent and quite tasty. Then had the Eggs Benedict. Absolutely delicious. Very light version as the hollandaise was thin but still delicious. Comes with smoked salmon and on a delicious bread. Only issue here is the line - very friendly and relaxed but I prefer to get on with it when I'm hungry! Would definitely go back.

  • Lisa L.

    My friend and I shared the Tuna Sandwich and Egg Salad Sandwich. Both were fresh and delicious but when I come back next time, I'll definitely order the Egg Salad and not share with anyone! The tuna tastes like a regular tuna sandwich, nothing special. The egg salad however, with a squeeze of lemon...you'll be in sandwich heaven! Ok, maybe not, but it's pretty darn good. We also shared the fruit tart, some other custard tart, and a chocolate cookie. Nothing special, or out of the ordinary but still good. This place is small, so while you're waiting in the long line, have your friend grab a table, otherwise, stand there looking stupid while others are eating.

  • Crystal L.

    I came because first and foremost for the macarons but tried the egg salad sand due to all the rave reviews. Macaroons are to die for! They are huge and well worth the trip. My favorite was the sea salt caramel but also loved the espresso and (surprisingly) the berry. The macarons alone are enough to keep me coming back. Unfortunately, I did not find the egg salad to be all that it was cracked up to be (pardon the pun). I loved it concept but thought that it lacked flavor. I thought it was just me but my friend felt the same way. I had to put salt on it to finish it. I wonder...was it just an off day? I can't imagine that so many Yelpers could be wrong. Alas, we also got cream puffs & a lemon bar to share. The cream puffs were another disappointment, I found the "puff" quite dull and stale while the cream was just OK. The lemon bar was very good though, very lemony with a sweet shortbread crust.

    came here for the macarons. very nice. large size, soft cookie that's melty with prominent cream. caramel, coffee, etc. good flavors, have a little salt on top. would try some other baked goods since she had silverton training. breads and breakfast eats, the cookies were goo here too.

    Maaaaaacaarooooooons! These tasty French morsels with a bit of bite make my day. Really nice selection of pastries (though expensive). If you're looking to impress someone with more than just Winchell's, bring them a box of these beauties. I have yet to try the sandwiches, but everyone I know is always raving about them.

  • Andrew T.

    If you are coming for a sandwich I would suggest getting the egg salad sandwich. It is probably the best sandwich you can buy and always served on the freshest bread. The pastries and fresh breads are amazing. It is one of the few places near Pasadena that serves macarons that are almost as good as the ones from Ladurée in Paris. It always has a homey feel here and there are always new things for you to try every time you come in. I know one of the workers there and he truly loves baking everyday.

    I read several of the reviews on here before I went there to check it out. It's hard to find by car so I parked nearby and headed on foot. It's amidst a mini strip mall like someone mentioned on an earlier review and slightly hidden by a tree/bush. I was originally looking for a place to buy macaroons. I have never tried them before and so I was curious. They ran out of the caramel and sea salt so I had an expresso with chocolate ganache filling. It was like biting into a mixture of a Milano cookie & a chewy chocolate chip cookie. Superb! I have to go back and try the different flavors. I also bought an egg salad sandwich on rosemary bread. Let me preface my opinion by saying, I hate egg salad. I adore eggs, but egg salad is one of those dishes that I absolutely detest! However, Euro Pane completely changed my mind. I loved their egg salad. I couldn't stop smiling while biting into thick chunks of egg with the right amount of mayo and chives. I know exactly where I am going the next time I have an egg craving. As for the service, I felt slightly hurried to leave because everytime I went up to the register the guy would say, "That's to go, right?" But my food came fast and there wasn't much of a crowd to compete with. I visited around 3-4pm on a Friday. I'm definitely going to come back and give the other menu items a try.

    This place is so cute and is always packed. One of the cutest rustic touches they have is their water pitcher by the door. I'm a big fan of the open-faced egg salad sandwich. They cut the eggs into bite-sized chunks and place them carefully on the bread. It looks beautiful! No homogeneous mush, just a gorgeous-looking and delicious sandwich. Why they get 1 star off: I also tried the smoked salmon sandwich, but it wasn't as good. The lady toasted the bread even though I hadn't said I wanted it toasted, plus the smoked salmon didn't have a very good flavor. I'd also say that their scones could be better as they were too hard. I much prefer the soft, more bread-like scones at Great Harvest Bread Co. in South Pasadena. I look forward to trying their other sandwiches and seeing how they measure up. This is definitely a very cute place to get lunch and have some tasty sandwiches.

  • Theresa N.

    The egg salad sandwich is delicious! You can choose whatever bread (I chose the cranberry one) and it's always toasted to perfection! The egg salad is prepared consistently everytime. Also, there's no celery (I hate celery) in the egg salad. The macaroons are great. I love the sea salt caramel macaroons. The cookies are awesome. Regarding the owner, I never thought she was rude. She always seemed to be happy and making kisses to little kids. Maybe you should take a child in with you.. that may be her kryptonite?

  • Tatiana V.

    What's not to love about this place! The parisian macaroons are fantastic. My favorite is the sea salt caramel. Nothing like the salty and sweet combo to make a tasty treat perfection. The brownies...my friend who has the pickiest pallet in the world calls them the best she has ever had. The sandwiches are fantastic and fresh. My fiance likes the egg salad one the best but I usually stick to anything with ham or turkey. Definitely get a croissant if you are going to pay this bakery a visit. Getting one from here is the closest you'll ever find to getting one from Paris, France. Any mocha chocolate coffee anything is a must. Hot or cold they use real chocolate nibs which makes every drop so rich, you'll be scrapping the bottom of the cup once you've drank all the liquid away. And then there is the service. Friendly, helpful and as quick as they can be during an early morning rush. In short if you are in Pasadena, CA make sure this place is a must go to on your agenda.

    I was skeptical. Little place, not much of interest on show behind the counter. A few people having regular coffees and waiting for sandwiches. Why all the hype? Why so much love from LA Weekly and 100+ Yelpers? I just got a loaf of sourdough and left. And then at home my taster of one slice with butter quickly became a whole banquet of bread-related snacks... pate on toast, cheese sandwiches, olive oil dipping... I couldn't get enough. CRAZY good sourdough. I was back the next day.

  • Rob Y.

    I went here on a cloudy day in the afternoon and was amazed that there were this many people sitting inside and knew that this place was going to be good. Thankfully I found a seat and ordered $30 worth of stuff. I ordered lunch plus dessert plus some cookies to go. The roast beef sandwich on sour dough was tasty and tender. I had this marzipan (tart?), and a shortbread, chocolate chip cookies to go. Overall, this was a nice place for breakfast/lunch and an alternative to Lovebirds. The patio looks cool. Next time I will come with my dog.

    Three words... salted... caramel... macaroon. These macaroons are two words... HOT... SEX. Upon walking into Euro Pane, you feel like you're instantly taking holiday and every bit of stress from your life is left outside, leashed to a table leg, and peering with jealous, curious eyes through the glass door. From the inside, you kind of feel like you're a magical fairy peering out from the beautiful Fern Gully to the part of the forest that has played victim to some evil, oil-driven, tree killing machine... it's truly an oasis on that stretch of Colorado. Like others have said, the egg salad sandwich is "da bomb" and I highly recommend ordering the berry tea as a refreshment.

  • Christine V.

    AMAZING macaroons, OK food. Bought 2 macaroons & they were so good, had to buy every flavor to try for later. The filling has a light, creamy taste and what i love about these macaroons is the fact that they aren't too sweet. Here is my ranking from favorite to least favorite (even though they are all good): 1) Salted caramel (MUST TRY, the BEST i've ever had)..not too sweet and has nice kick of salt at the end (few sea salt crystals sprinkled on the top only). 2) Pistacio (very nutty flavor) 3) Blackberry (very light in flavor) 4) Hazelnut (Very nutty flavor, like the pistacio, but even stronger in flavor since hazelnut has a stronger flavor than pistacio) 5) Raspberry (light & creamy, with subtle hint of raspberry) 6) Passionfruit (light in flavor, but had a hint of tart) 7) Mocha (more plain tasting than the others; filling was thicker and rich compared to the light/creamy/fluffy filling of the other 6 flavors) As for the food, I had a few bites of my friends' veggy quioche (3 stars) & the famous egg sandwich (4 stars). The quioch was ok...plain in flavor & not too salty (good thing). The egg sandwich was pretty good, but over-rated (but still very tasty). The bread is crisp & has a nice crunch to each bite. The egg on top is soft & creamy (mashed soft-boiled egg mixed with mayo i think)...it's like eating a softer version of deviled eggs on top of crispy toast. Definitely worth a try if you're planning to eat a sandwich here.

    Euro Pane is the best bakery I've tried in Pasadena by far. The egg salad sandwich and the feta/tomato sandwich are both incredible, and the desserts are magnificent as well. However, the service is sometimes lacking. Two of the times I've visited, I waited 20 minutes for my order because the male clerk forgot about it. Other than that, I highly recommend this bakery.

  • Adina C.

    Try the roasted red pepper and goat cheese with pesto on the walnut-cranberry (or the rosemary) bread. What's so great about this place is that the unusual mix of flavors can be tasted in no other place in town, especially for vegetarians getting sick of portobello and cheese on a bun. The cons are that the hours aren't great, and that they seem to run out of stuff relatively often. I would call first if you're craving something specific.

    I thought this place was for health fanatics who like to eat weird grains and hard-to-pronounce-vegetables. I'm so glad I was proven wrong. Like a lot of reviews, I love the egg salad sandwich and their macaroons are very good. Also had their french toast with fresh whipped cream and berries. What I really like about this place is how they turn everyday sandwiches into "gourmet." Who knew a turkey sandwich could taste so good? It's the cranberry walnut bread that really shines. It's like thanksgiving dinner in a sandwich. Twice I went there to try their quiche, and they've always ran out. Boo.

    Outstanding sandwiches and delicious macaroons. What else can I say? The dining area is nothing special, but the prices are fair and I love eating here. The egg salad sandwich and the red pepper/ goat cheese sandwiches are perfect lunch choices. Oh and don't forget a passion fruit macaroon!

  • Joyce Y.

    I finally got to try Europane's famous egg salad sandwich! Egg salad sandwich is open face sandwich, which consists of one slice of bread (of your choice), with some type of tomato-ish sauce/spread on top, and egg salad. I love the sandwich, especially with the creamy red pesto spread/sauce. For the bread, I chose the cranberry walnut. You can choose from rosemarry currant, olive, cranberry walnut, and sourdough. My husband got the tomato and feta sandwich with pesto on top of olive bread. it was pretty good! It's like a greek salad on top of a piece of bread. Their macaron prices went up to $1.85 now! But I still love their macarons, since this is where I first tried macarons way back then before macarons became a trend. Prices are kinda expensive for a small sandwich. but it's good! $7.50 each for the sandwich. Service isn't very friendly and disorganized. They also don't offer big cups for water, either. The cups are like little tiny plastic shot glasses! Parking is a little difficult. We parked on the lot and it said we had to pay but there was no one there to collect our money so we just parked. Extra star for the food.

    If you've read the reviews, I'll clue you in on a few things that have not been mentioned. I've been going there for over 10 years. The owner Sumi Chang is amazing. Let her do her thing and you'll be so impressed. I call her and ask her to make a cake with whatever fruit is in season -- and voila. Desserts for adults with beautiful tasteful fruit and flower decorations. All my westside friends are asking where this amazing cake is from. From time to time I think I should give her all the photos of all the cakes she's done for me so she can show everyone what she does but I'm too busy and she's too focused on food to care about about the business side of things. I will ask her to do some appetizers for a party and leave it to her. Again, perfection. Now for the holidays. Her apple crisp is the best. So are all of her pies. Just pre-order. She'll even bake them in your own pans so it looks like you did it! If I ran Sumi's business I'd push her to do a great website. She is never rude. She's a doll and generous to anyone who looks like they love food. She introduced me to Din Tai Fung when they opened and I'm forever grateful. Europane gets 5 stars for food but only 4 stars for service - which has nothing to do with the owner Sumi Chang but the difficulties of being an employer. Sumi could run a wholesale business and leave all of us out in the cold but thankfully she doesn't. When I was pregnant I came by every day for a fruit tart, a whole wheat scone, a bran muffin, lemon bars, amazing brownies, egg salad sandwich, homemade granola which I've shipped to friends, . . . an on and on. Now years later, I'm avoiding wheat and carbs and I miss going here every day . . .

    This place gets 5 stars because of their macarons. They are very well-made and delectable and delightfully affordable! I've tried every flavor and I love the salted caramel and raspberry ones. I need to get at least three macarons every time I go. I've also tried their egg salad sandwich. It was pretty good, but a little pricey for what you get. I've had better for much less.

    Everyone in my department received a box of their french macaroons for Xmas and I pretty much finished it off that night. They are that good! Thanks Cristina! Get the ones with a hint of coffee and the chocolate ones with the salt middle. Do it!

    I've been going to EuroPane lately for their excellent sourdough boules, which are crusty (but not so crusty you have to take a chainsaw to them to cut them open) and always fresh. As far as I can tell, they only have one size (8" or so) which is perfect for sandwiches and toast. I haven't tried their other breads yet (I'm a little picky) but they also look great. They'll slice the bread for you if you want, but I usually slice mine at home. It's about $5.00 per sourdough boule, but totally worth it. Service is prompt and attentive. There's almost always a line at the counter, but it moves quickly. I'm not a big pastry person, but the ones they have in their display case look amazing. Also, their sandwiches are pretty solid and worth checking out, if only for the awesome bread. Being able to walk to EuroPane also wins it awesome points in my book. If you're in Pasadena and near PCC or Caltech, definitely check this place out!

    this place was pretty hard to spot on colorado, but its right next to a subway and across the street from the Academy theatre. the place seems a bit run down and old, but the food definitely makes up for it. i came on a monday at 12pm and it was pretty empty. so no wait! and yes, the egg salad sandwich is as good as everyone says it is! :DDD and you get to choose what type of bread u want it on too! i chose to have it on brioche and it was AMAZING also tried the raspberry macaron.... it tasted 100% artificial, but thats just my opinion

    I have been looking forward to trying this place ever since my friend told me about their Egg Salad Sandwich. I finally got the opportunity to go and I have to say that it was pure deliciousness! I split an Egg Salad sandwich (open-faced) and the Meatloaf sandwich with my friend so that we could try more things on the menu. I have to say that even though both sandwiches were great, the egg sandwich won hands down! Being a fan of eggs in general, the combination of the fresh crunch of the bread with the layer of what I think is tomato-basil pesto topped with heaping mounds of egg salad was just the right savory meal that I needed! Watch out though! Restrain yourself from stuffing the whole sandwich in your mouth when it arrives, because I got greedy and tried and had some fallen egg salad casualties. Eat some off the top first with a fork. Euro Pane also offers baked goods. Although I did not try it, I witnessed many customers ordering their cookies and macaroons. My friend and I split a chocolate chip brioche which was a little too sweet, but still good. It definitely would have been a great afternoon snack with a good cup of coffee or cold glass of milk.

    Both locations offer excellent breads, delicious sandwiches, and those chocolate sea salt caramel macaroons... *SWOON*. I could eat those all day. I was just at the breezy, bright, modern new location today and tasted a prosciutto flat bread sandwich (light, salty/sweet, yum) and a half-sized seared chicken sandwich on currant bread (nice soft bread, also salty/sweet and yum). Every bite of each sandwich was terrific -- good texture, nice combination of flavors, and light and healthful tasting. If there's a downside to Europane, it would be that some of the sandwiches are light on the palate/stomach but heavy on the wallet. It's not an everyday place, but once in a while it's well worth the splurge if you're craving a quick hit of Europe.

    Been going to this place since before the hype - but in this case, the hype is actually justified. The open-faced egg salad sandwich is an experience well-worth the drive to Pasadena. Order it on olive bread, add a little salt and pepper, and prepare yourself to be ruined for all other egg salad sandwiches by the creamy deliciousness with a sun dried tomato pesto as a counterbalance ;) What else do I really enjoy at this place...every now and then the daily special is a tasty squash & egg tart, or a delicious beet & goat cheese tart. Oh, and the fleur-de-sel macarons are not to be missed. The only things I would truly stay aware from are their frittattas and focaccias - both tend to be way more dense and chewy than is quite right. And if you go on the weekends, know that you might have to deal with a crowd (at least at the original location). It's my understanding that they have two more storefronts in Pasadena now, though I haven't been to either. Nice to see a small business flourishing :)

    I generally only got coffee from Euro Pane Bakery. The coffee is seriously good. Nice and strong just the way I like it. But due to a recent trip to Europe I was craving some European bakery goodness. This is a cute cute cute little cafe. I know I said cute three times, that's how cute it is. It seems to get very busy in the morning and the lunch rush. The wait is never terrible though, plus it's worth it. Bakery + Wheat Allergy Friendly = My brain can't comprehend. A regular bakery in the U S of A being sensitive to wheat allergic folks!! When I was in London even Starbucks offered a gluten free sandwich. Tsk Tsk -- that shizz doesn't happen in Starbucks in liberal Cali. I have a tough time finding places, especially a freaking bakery, that is so damn accommodating to my allergy AND lip-smacking good. Home made granola with almonds and cranberries. Crunchy. Just sweet enough without being over powering and it comes with PLAIN yogurt. I love the mixture of the two -- smooth tartness + crunchy sweetness. Quiche on a potato crust. YES, a potato crust. I can eat it! People who are gluten allergic or wheat allergic can eat it!! I went with the frittata (100% gluten free). I'm eating it now as I type this review. I'm eating like a barbarian. I'm not making perfect little cuts with a fork and knife. It's so delicious that I am stabbing the frittata with a fork and stuffing it in my mouth. It is full of goodness -- soft ricotta cheese, roasted red peppers, fresh basil, mushroom.... Every bite is velvety smooth. There's nothing bland about this dish. I can't identify the spices but it's got a hint of something that gives it a kick -- BAM!! I eyed the desserts and breads. I let out a sigh. I wanted dessert or something ultra carb heavy with my frittata. The lovely woman at the register informed me of all of the wheat free options available: -macaroons made with almond meal -flour less chocolate cake -flour less chocolate souffle I purchased a beautiful pistachio macaroon... I just took a bite out of it and MOANED out load. Oh my!! At first I didn't want to bite into it b/c it's so darn pretty. But wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. *More moaning* The outside is crispy and has chewy bite to it and the cream in between is rich and sinfully decadent. Oh man -- this would pair so well with a scoop of orange blossom or rose saffron ice cream. I was told they are trying to make their bakery gluten friendly and are working on a gluten free bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Euro Pane is helping make America more sensitive to allergies. Thank you for your dedication. I salute you.

    I came here to try their macarons. My favorite was the caramel salt. It was surprising delicious. Their macarons are larger than the usual French medallion size. They were $1.75 each. I saw many customers order the egg salad sandwich, so it must be good!

  • aiha n.

    Recently tried the pistachio and raspberry macaroons. The sea salt caramel is still the best but the raspberry is very yummy and the pistachio is dead on. As I was leaving I saw some speckle colored macaroons. They must come out with new flavors periodically. I also tried their chicken salad sandwich. Europane uses yogurt instead of mayo. It tastes lighter and fresher. I got it on sourdough but I can imagine it would have been better on the cranberry walnut bread.

    We woke up on Sunday morning craving breakfast pastries. Euro Pane came up in our Yelp search so we decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. The vegetarian quiche was outstanding. We also tried the blueberry tart and blueberry/cheese danish; both were very, very good. It is now on our list of "go to" bakeries.

    Oh man...I shared the roasted veggie sandwich on ciabatta with the sea salt caramel macaroons and the raspberry custard tart with a close friend. We were absolutely satisfied! I've never had a veggie sandwich that freakin good! We went midday on a Sunday. We didn't have a wait but could see that a long line came in waves and there was always someone ordering at the counter. The wait for our sandwich wasn't bad (7 minutes maybe), and the service was all smiles for us. No complaints there. I don't live in the area but when I did I couldn't get enough of Europane. I see that the quality of food hasn't changed a bit! I'll be dreaming about them until my next visit!!! It will be soon...especially since my brother talks about it all the time and it was just listed as a favorite bakery on Evan Kleinman's (of KCRW's Good Food show) Facebook page. yum yum yum!

    I found the food to be about average. The egg salad sandwich does not go well with sun dried tomatoes. I usually love egg salad sandwiches but this did not work for me. My husband had the roast beef on baguette bread and enjoyed it. The macaroons were very average and a bit overpriced. I don't have a reason to return to this establishment.

    I upped my rating for this place. Since I know not to get the macarons and egg salad sandwich. I got the seared chicken chicken sandwich this time and it was delicious!!! That with a side of arnold palmer is a wonderful meal. The seared chicken is nice and garlicy! finished the entire thing. I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here. just if i'm i the neighborhood and in need of a nice sandwich

    I tend to hesitate when four starring an establishment east of the 110, but I was really blown away by Euro Pane's BLT. I have always heard good things about the bread, but I never quite made it to Euro Pane, until yesterday. For a local girl and a self-proclaimed foodie, overlooking Euro Pane = total FAIL. The rosemary currant bread was fantastic, bacon was generous and slightly sweet, and lettuce was actual lettuce (not iceberg crap). I can't remember a BLT that I've liked more. The hazelnut macaroon was also pretty tasty; it had a nice solid, chewy exterior. My fave. Despite other complaints about the interior, I actually liked the nouveau reclaimed wood/organic modern look. Somehow, it fit. I'll definitely be back.

    This is a great little bakery/sandwich shop. I like the fact that it is what it is. The menu is short and sweet. They have classics such as turkey and egg salad, which always make me feel all nice inside. I don't know why. I like some familiarity, it comforts me. Though the sandwich menu limited, it is always fresh and delicious. The service is also great! Friendly and responsive. I'm not sure how else to explain a good sandwich. Fresh ingredients, cohesive flavors, and all around deliciousness. So good. You can also pick from a variety of bread to make you sandwich with. I can only remember ciabatta and multigrain...I think there was cranberry-something. Not helpful, I know. But just FYI! When you are done with your food, there is an area in the back to put your dishes and such. The first time i was there, I finished my food and started to panic. I'm a little neurotic and don't want to be rude by leaving my dirty dishes everywhere. I had no idea what to do with my dishes so my friend and I just sat there and searched frantically for a regular that was done with lunch as well. Luckily we spotted one and followed him to the area behind the refrigerated items (like salad and juice). Disaster averted. The bakery itself is decent and clean in decor. You can get your own water, which I always like. It's the little things... I haven't had a chance to try many of their pastries since I am always stuffed after the sandwiches. But they all look good! I remember having this wild strawberry tart once...it was $8 and 4 inches in diameter. It was worth every penny. If that was any indication of how the pastries taste, I would skip the sandwiches and eat nothing but sweets! Thankfully, I have more of a savory tooth so I won't clean out their inventory. Bonus: pretty much everything! Boo-ness: limited menu (perhaps parking, I walk so I'm not sure what the parking situation is, it looks pretty limited though)

  • Edward Y.

    Before I get onto the food, I have to confess I was obsessed with this place last year. I probably gained a few pounds just recalling it. The lattes and fresh lemonade are great here. Their macarons are great as well. My favorite is definitely the one with sea salt. The pastries are probably the reason why you would want to come here, although everything is good. My favorites are the chocolate croissant (pan au chocolat) and the lemon bar. The croissants are flaky and buttery with chunks of chocolate that are not too sweet while the lemon bars are tangy and sweet with a crumbly crust. This place has outstanding sandwiches as well. The egg salad is probably their most popular, and for good reason. The other sandwich I frequently get is the tuna, usually on ciabatta. I'm off my pastry binge right now, but I could start fiending at any moment.

  • Stephanie O.

    I'm the kind of sucker who has to buy a macaron everywhere I see one being sold, just to "try and see who makes the best macarons". So far on my quest, Euro Pane's salted caramel is definitely the best! Great texture, not too dense, not too loose, and a great caramel flavor that is enhanced by the sprinkle of sea salt on top. While the macarons alone bring me back to Euro Pane, everything else I've tried here has also been really good. The atmosphere is very quaint, with lots of sunlight streaming through the glass walls. One of my favorite places in Pasadena!

    Been here multiple times when I visit the Pasadena office of my job. I love the BLT sandwich and just recently I got to try the egg salad, which IS as good as everyone says. Still my favorite are the desserts. I always get a couple macaroons and salted caramels... mmmmmm

  • Morgan C.

    The food here is pretty good, the pastries are very good, and the coffee is excellent. I don't feel they keep the front of house clean enough. The counter with the sugar and milk for the coffee is always filthy with crumbs, and the way the dirty spoon cup is right next to the box of coffee stirrers looks like a health-code violation waiting to happen. I also wonder if some of the things behind the counter really should be refrigerated instead of sitting out. I also don't like how the door handle is always sticky. When it's hot they don't turn on the A/C, leaving the inside stuffy and hot. Also, the lighting in the kitchen area is not very good. I wonder what would be lurking back there if they had enough light to see into the corners. I wish Sumi, the great chef that owns this place, was a little more insistent about keeping the front tidy and neat.

  • Alex N.

    This place is great. The food is awesome from the soups to the salads to the sandwiches and everything is made fresh and so sometimes it takes a bit of time. I honestly love their turkey sandwich and of course the MACARONS. They are really delicious and I love the sea salt on the outside and the price is pretty decent for a macaron that size (they are bigger than normal macarons). I love the pistachio, the sea salt caramel, the chocolate, mocha, and oh so many flavors. They definitely make them fresh every day so if you don't come early, they will be gone. I would definitely come for lunch. I can't give it a 5 star because the location near the Pasadena City hall is usually not as good as the one right across from the Regency Academy theater. The staff at the original location is nicer and so the service is better even though they are just as busy as the other location.

  • Lee C.

    The good: Egg salad was far tastier than most The bad: service was slow and sloppy, macarons were stale and unremarkable, dining area was crowded and cheap feeling. To elaborate a bit: I went on a weekday for lunch, and both my friend and I got the famed egg salad sandwich. I will say, if you're used to mayo-laden celery-filled day-old egg salad, this will be a revelation. If, however, you are an egg salad fanatic who regularly makes it at home with fresh cooked eggs, the right proportion of good mayo and pepper, and go easy on the salt, well, the Euro Pane salad will not rock your world. It was definitely worth trying, but for me, not worth hauling all the way to Pasadena for a return trip. Also, the server asked what macarons we wanted THREE times, and STILL brought us the wrong ones. Also, my friend ordered her sandwich without the sun dried tomato spread, and still got it slathered on, with no apologies from the server.

    Meow retired from being corporate scum from nearby publicly traded company and was invited to lunch by fellow cat who said this place was AMAZING. Meow was pretty excited and was looking forward to trying this place which meow was hearing rave reviews from other corporate fat cat scum about how delish egg salad sandwich was. Meow's pal and meow ordered sandwiches, one was turkey and the other was the mythical egg salad sandwich. Meow took a bite of egg salad sandwich and before meow could mutter a reply, meow's pal said "GOOD RIGHT, ISN'T IT AMAZING?" Meow's filter was actually on that day and wanted to be a good cat and could only smile and nod in agreement even though meow wanted desperately to spit out the egg like vomit. Meow figured he should be a good soldier and toughed out the rest of the bland sandwich. Now meow knows now why this place is called Europane, because it stands for "You're in pain," for the rest of the day, gaseous fumes filled the corporate office and hallways leading up to the bathroom. It would be a sad sad day, if this was meow's last meal here on Earth. Meow vehemently gives furry paw of disapproval.

    Oh how I will miss Europane when I move. I never thought I could love a sticky bun until i fell into mouth watering love with the fresh out of the oven sticky buns they make here. They run out by mid-morning, so you have to be an early morning riser to catch a batch. But one of the ladies told me I could call the day before and they would hold one for me. How nice! They are soft as marshmallows inside with a fantastic and unbelievable crunch to the outside. They're not cheapened by dripping glaze, rather they retain the baking-defying contrast of soft and crunchy with just the perfect amount of well-proportioned sweetness. Did I mention I love these sticky buns? Go get one now! Seriously, the best coffee in all of Los Angeles, and this is from a multiple coffee-card holding addict. Muffins have always been plain jane for me, the thing you can buy from costco in bulk, so why bother? But trust me, the muffins here are knee-weakeningly good. Enough adjectives yet? Let me see, the almond brioche toast with maple baked inside? OMG, get me a thesaurus right now. It is decadent and refined. What does that even mean? It means you'll gain an inch around the middle but you'll feel dandy about it. The only thing I don't absolutely love here is the almond pastry. The paste tastes great, but they squeeze it on like a fat log of marzipan and the pastry is more like a bear claw. I heard that they used to make an almond croissant and wonder why they don't anymore. I bet Sumi would kill it, as in make me weep with joy. But does it at all detract from my love of this excellent bakery? Not a chance. Plus, I think they've been reading yelp complaints about attitudes at the counter. Now everyone who helps me is super friendly and always has a smile for me.

    When I walked into this bakery there was a significant temperature change from this June gloom which made this place more appealing to me. Although I didn't get a chance to eat a meal here, I wouldn't mind coming back around to give it a shot. -Interior When you walk in you're practically at the counter where you can order, then the tables are off the the sides. It's a small business so I expect most people just get their orders to go. The ambiance reminds me of what I would normally find at a café in Europe which is probably why it's called Euro Pane (duh). -Service Since I just ordered pastries to go it was quick, picked out the ones I wanted then plopped them into a box and off I went. However I overheard the worker telling the customers in front of me that their coffee (or espresso) would be brought to their table. The workers are very friendly and will bring out your orders to you. It was quite busy for an odd hour that I went (Around 3PM), shows how popular this place is. -Food Again I just came for the pastries, although I only tried the chocolate tart, I wouldn't mind going back and getting some more. The chocolate tart is very.....chocolate-y, there is no other word for it really. You cut (or bite) into it and it's literally a thick layer of chocolate; the crust sort of crumbles when you disturb the natural order of the tart but no worries, the chocolate can be used to pick up the crumbs for that extra texture when you go in for another bite. If you're looking for a café that reminds you of the old country, you might want to check Euro Pane out. With friendly service and tasty treats that you can get on the go or to relax in their quaint small shop, you'll enjoy every bit of it, just like every bite you take out of your treat.

    First off, the service staff here at Euro Pane Bakery coudn't win a 50 yard dash at the Special Olympics if they were given a 100 yard head start. They're unorganized, inattentive and slow. The deli help took two people's order before me, even though I was clearly ahead of them in line. When he finally got to me, kept wandering off while I was trying to place my order. The cashier coudn't figure how to ring up my order, charged me for candy when I only asked for the price and didn't give me a receipt until I finally asked out of irritation. At best they're harried and at worst poorly trained and uncaring. Then we made the mistake of sitting out front where the wild things are. Turns out there is a steady stream of homeless characters walking along Colorado Boulevard, the majority of them smoking and blowing it towards the tables as they amble by. At least two of them had collected enough earnings during the day to go inside and order food which means panhandling must be paying pretty well these days. So it's a testament to the quality of the food that I've somehow still given them three stars. It's basic deli food to be sure, but you have a choice of five or so types of bread and a dozen or so sandwiches to choose from. Each is fresh and delicious. The meatloaf sandwich on sourdough was really nicely done and the Turkey on Rosemary Currant bread was divine. There is a tasty Berry Ice Tea and a thick, flavorful Lemonade that really hit the spot. Still the real reason to come here is the dessert and while it was late in the day and close to closing, they had a large selection of their rather famous French style macaroons. Approximately the size of a silver dollar and even more expensive, they come in a variety of flavors. At about a $1.50 apiece, I thought for sure I would be disappointed but they were better than advertised. Flaky little wafers of Raspberry and Chocolate that melt in your mouth. You'll only get a few seconds of pleasure, but it's a delightful few moments.

    I didn't really think of much when I came here and even looking at the menu was not so impressed. Granted I came on a lazy Sunday afternoon so they ran out of their famous roast beef and some other breads that are popular items of the day. The place looked almost dingy small and I definitely started to let my hopes down. The lady in line in front of me told us that their sandwiches are great and I proceeded to order their turkey on multigrain bread. My bf got their turkey on the cranberry walnut bread and so did his brother (except he got salmon). The sandwiches are definitely not big but for me they were plenty meaty indeed. The bread was OMGOSH heaven. This is what really hit the five star mark for me because although the sandwich was good, it was good flavored and many people / places can make a delicious sandwich ... but their breads are just absolutely amazing. They're the perfect amount of hard / flavorful crunch around the crust (even for a crust hater like me!) and the inside is SO soft and moist and full of flavor. The cranberry walnut bread is ESPECIALLY notable here because I ended up with a sliced loaf that was gone by the end of my 5 hour drive back to the bay. MMM mm good!

    I'm reviewing two things: macarons and chocolate tart. I WISH I had more money to try the sandwiches, but it's a hard life being a broke college student. Prioritizing what I wanted with what little money I had was a hard choice, but my craving for french macarons and chocolate won. Salted caramel macaron: 5/5 - delicious. perfect texture! the sea salt was delicious and didn't overpower the rest of it. Pistachio nut macaron: 3/5: this one was strangely hard? it was also too sweet for my liking. Hazelnut macaron: 4/5: This is a solid choice. It's delicious and has a nice, sweet nutty flavor, but it was just a tad bit too sweet for me. Blackberry macaron: 3/5: A little hard, again. Good, but I don't think I personally care or fruity macarons. The reviews on the macarons may be a bit biased due to the fact that I ate the salted caramel first, and that one blew my mind into a realm of deliciousness. Chocolate ganache tart: 5/5: Subtly sweet with dark chocolate paired with the buttery crust on the outside makes it a perfect combination! I really liked the place. The sandwiches sounded good, the different drinks were tempting, and the pastries are all appealing. I will be coming back. And I can't wait.

    Infamous open face egg salad -- it was good. Not fantastic. I guess I am not a huge fan of egg salad in the first place. Raspberry Tea Cake -- still warm out of the oven. Soft in the middle and slightly crunchy on the outer rim. The mixed berries in the middle added a tang. It was good. Macaroon was light and crispy, but the pistachio flavor did not really come through for me. Nevertheless, I am still excited to try their other flavors in the future, especially at a modest price of $1.65 compared to other places that charge $2.00+ a pop for a size like this. Decor and environment is messy, unappealing and slightly uncomfortable. Definitely a place to order to-go for next time. Excited to try some more macaroons, french toast, and blueberry brioche in the future.

    Quiche is homemade and cooked to perfection. This place is easy to drive by and not even notice, but I can appreciate that since it results in a shorter line. Service is fast. Finding a seat can be a little difficult, but patience can be a virtue here. Parking can be a pain to find, but if you are willing to take a short stroll you can find a spot in the neighborhood.

    Okay, I knew this place was pretty great, but it was only after coming here a few times that I learned she earned her stripes with (quasi?) celebrity chef Nancy Silverton. The sandwiches are out of this world, so don't balk at the 8 or 9 dollar price. If you want cheap, go three doors down to Subway. If you want fresh and delicious, pull up a chair. Their sides and desserts LOOK fantastic, but I've never ventured away from the sandwiches. I LOVE sandwiches. Next to pizza, they're probably my favorite thing to eat. I usually go for the feta and sundried tomato on olive bread, but the roasted red pepper and goat cheese runs a close second (and I don't usually even like red peppers.) I don't eat meat, so I can't vouch for the other sandwiches, but whenever I bring friends they seem happy. The place used to have a problem with slow service, but the last couple times I've gone, everything went pretty fast. Not sure which is the rule and which is the exception, so I guess I'll just toss it out there that I have been known to wait. My one gripe is the insufferable clientèle. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm implicating myself somewhat, but oy, the organic tatsoi crowd with the hemp messenger bags and the $500 sunglasses. It's like a Brown University 20 year reunion in this place sometime. Bring your ipod and turn it up so you don't have to hear them carry on about how their precocious daughter Tallulah (she can ask for soy milk in three languages!) has a play date at the Arboretum.

    Croissant: It was not warm, fresh, or toasted. We asked for it to be warmed up and they microwaved it. It tasted ok, but definitely not the best. It would be better toasted. The inside was not fluffy; it was like it was a day-old croissant. Cinnamon roll: We also had this warmed up, but it was not good at all. It was dry and tasted like it was a day-old too. Stale. Open-face egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread: The bread and the spread was soo good! Not sure what the spread was though. That was probably the only good thing about this place. The eggs on the sandwich....there was just too much yolk, maybe like 8 yolks. My HDL was going up! Had to pick out all the yolks but there was not much egg whites left! Iced Coffee: This is black coffee with ice. That is all. My sister wanted to try the macarons....that is before she saw them. They were larger than normal (like from Lette), but they looked HORRIBLE! It was cracked and was stored in bags and it just did not look fresh or edible. This place was overrated and I think it is confused for the other Euro Pane down the road, which looked way nicer!

    Came here today wanting to get some caneles.. but they only make it on weekends.. which I was somewhat disappointed. Instead, got a macadamia nuts tart (it's one of my favorite nuts).. it looked good, but just one tart, costs $5.15. A lot more expensive than I had imagined. I was shocked when the lady told me the price. But it didn't let me down, the tart shell was a bit crumbly and toasty (which I really liked it) and it was flagrant. The filling was made with caramel and slightly toasted macadamia nuts, it was really good :). My only complain was the price, but other than that, I do recommend their bakery items.. have not tried the sandwiches though. Also, their location was a bit hard to spot, I almost missed it when driving past it.

    I heard that this place had great carbs, and since I'm the biggest carb-whore I know, I had to try it. Their French toast was fantastic. That alone was enough to warrant a visit. Not to mention their other pastries was really good too. Everything that comes out of that Kitchen is superb.....Breads...Quiche.... Macarons are so delicious. They are bigger than normal size and i think they're better than Lettes. I love their sea salt caramel macarons. DROOL!! I also tried the pistachio, raspberry, hazelhut, chocolate and the espresso. At first I only got the sea salt and I asked the server which one he likes or which would he reccommend. He said he likes the raspberry and not the hazelnut. So i bought 4 sea salt and 3 raspberry. Right when I was about to walk out, he gave me hazelnut macaron so I can decide for myself if it was good or not. Holy Cow... it was good. I bought 3 more. I dont know what you're talking about young man, but that hazelnut macaron was heaven! 4 stars goes to the macarons!! that one missing star is goes towards to that hole in my wallet. Imma go broke if I keep coming back.

    I had the egg salad sandwich with brioche and it was soooo good. The egg salad was creamy and the tomato pesto goes great! I tried the cream puffs and they were ok but some of their pastries are overpriced (brownies).

    Walking into Euro Pane, I was quite excited. The place was buzzing with guests. It was rather small, but it featured both a seating area inside and outside. The inside was quite warm. Not sure how well their A/C operates, but the temperature will be cooling down soon. I came for the bakery, but I noticed that many people were here for lunch. It looks like Euro Pane may be a good sandwich/salad/soup place. It might be a good alternative to the popular chains Panera Bread and Corner Bakery. The bakery counter was quite small and picked over. There just was not much there. And of what was there, none of it looked that great. There were some puff pastry twists (maybe cinnamon--I didn't get them because they looked too plain and bland), some miniature tarts, a few flourless chocolate desserts, some cookies, and brownies (I'm always weary about getting brownies from a bakery; they are often dry). I got the chocolate chip cookies. They were out of the big ones so I got two small ones. The chocolate chip cookies were good. Nice taste with good nuts (walnuts, I believe). There were two tarts--a macadamia nut tart (that looked like a pecan pie tart) and a blueberry tart. I went for the blueberry. Very dry, and the fruit was just not that distinct. Very disappointing. I'm not in the Pasadena area much so I'm not sure if I will be back. I would like to come back and give some of their other desserts a shot. 3 stars for the chocolate chip cookie and barely 2 stars for the blueberry tart so 2.5 stars total. Service was okay.

    Been going here for years and have seen a few interior decor improvements over the years. Glad to see they are doing so well that a second location opened across the street from Paseo Colorado. Went here because the Paseo location told me they only make lemon bars on the weekends. But when I got there I was distracted by this giant blueberry tart. It was a thin layer of fresh blueberries and shortbread crust. Love the little burst of sweet blueberries with every bite you take. Didn't think I could finish it all because of the generous serving, but I inhaled the entire damn thing. Other favorites here are the egg salad sandwich, hot chocolate, chocolate tart, raspberry custard tart.

    This is my all time favorite place for both egg salad sandwiches and macarons. The egg salad sandwich is so good! The eggs weren't overdone, it had the perfect creamy texture and nice color. The macarons are the biggest I've seen and the cheapest, but still maintaining good quality. Perfect chewiness on the verge of a bread-like texture, and the right amount of crunch and sweetness.They're so savory and yummy! I love all the flavors, but my favorite ones are the sea salt caramel and raspberry.

    Chris C.: "Lets go to Paseo" A: "where is that" Chris C.: "You never been there? you don't know where that is? you nub blablabla hahaha blablabla asjlkajsa" A: *sad face* As we were walking around Paseo (which pretty much was a small outdoor mall with nothing good except Sephora), Chris C. yelled like a little girl: "OMG IT'S EURO PANE BAKERY!! I HAVE THAT ON MY BOOKMARK!! LETS GO THERE! THEY HAVE MACARONS!" *happy face* We actually just got a box full of macarons the night before, but hey, you can't turned down a bookmark place, naw meansss?! The place was nice; bright from sunlight, clean, minimalist design, long line, people drinking coffee, having brunch, on their laptop and Chris looking like a happy camper, why not When we got there, around maybe 1-2 PM on a Sunday, they only had 2 flavors of their macarons, passion fruit and my phone, blackberry that is. I have to say though, their macarons with only 2 flavors can honestly beat the place that I had a box full macarons the night before. It has better texture, creamier, it's slightly bigger in size (and of course, bigger is better!) I think it was around $1.50 each? Oh, the staff was friendly too! Def. on my list if I'm in the area -- hopefully next time, Chris won't act like a lil girl :)

    If you don't know what to get, their egg salad sandwich on rosemary or BLT on cranberry wheat is delicious. I love how their egg salad is abnormally yolky. And they are not shy when it comes to putting bacon into your BLT.

    EGG SALAD SANDWICH! Say no more.... This thing was good. I mean it is rare for me to get a vegetarian sandwich like this but I always get roast beef and/or salmon sandwiches, and after seeing that they had 3 or 4 veggie sandwiches(tomato and mozzarella, goat cheese and red pepper among others) I decided to go with my favorite out of those, egg salad. Egg salad sandwiches are not usually very much different from the next, usually taste similar with the same attributes, mayo, lemon, etc. This one was out of this world. I ordered it on their rosemary currant bread, they toast it and serve it open face. I got myself a fork and knife, cracked a little fresh pepper on it and dug it. After eating the first half, I was already waaay too satisfied but looking forward to my other half but then it happened.......I found out they have little tapatio packets on their counter!!!! Absolute bliss at this point. No one makes a better egg salad sandwich anywhere. As for the macaroon, no macaroon could be as magnificent as that egg salad sandwich but my goodness were they the bomb as well. I ordered 4 types: - Sea salt caramel- 4.5 out of 5 -hazelnut- 5 out of 5 -passion fruit- 4 out of 5 - raspberry- 4 out of 5 Found out that even though they are still very delicious, the fruity macaroons are not quite as good as the others. Nonetheless, I love this place and plan on buying a dozen macaroons next time :)

    A friend took me here the other day and it was nothing short of delightful! What a great place to have a yummy, relaxing brunch. The pastries look so good it's hard not to walk out with one or two to go after a meal. I think this will be my new favorite place in Pasadena.

    I liked this place very much. The food is grate little pricy but its worth it. Stuff is very friendly. I didn't know what to get since it was my first time there and a worker named Marat helped me to choose from the big selection they have.

    If it weren't for the fact that portions are pretty decent here, you might think Euro Pane favors the slogan 'quality over quantity.' Food: LOVE the open-faced egg salad sandwich ( yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… ). Not only does it practically glow with all that delicious yolk coating the chunks of chive-covered whites, it tastes the way it looks. The chicken salad sandwich also looked scrumptious ( yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… ), but I heard the meat was a bit dry. Sandwiches come served with a hefty slice of watermelon, good watermelon at that. I was also able to try the seasonal plum tart ( yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… ). This was a great way to end the meal. The plums were tangy and complimented the sugary crust. Atmosphere: Euro Pane is situated on Colorado Blvd. like almost every other restaurant in Pasadena. The interior is pretty cramped and not ideal for large parties, but I think there is one table that is fairly large if you don't mind fighting for it. The furniture is reminiscent of antiques. I wouldn't mind curling up in here and reading a good book by the window. Service: Not the most friendly at times, but they whip up your food in good time. Synopsis: When I get an intense egg craving, I will be back.

    I've had this bookmarked forever... and every time I was in the area, I'd never remember to go check it out. We were at Paseo Colorado and I had noticed that it had been across the street from it this whole time! Having just gone to Pacific Bakery in Garden Grove the night before (in fact we still had their macarons with us in the car), we STILL had to go check it out. MORE MACARONS PLS. They only had passion fruit and blackberry that day. Oh well, no complaints. A limited selection is, usually, a testament to how fresh they are. They should be good! We still had our other macarons with us so we put Euro Pane's to the test! WIN. They WERE better. The difference in quality was very noticeable. The texture was thicker, creamier, yet lighter in flavor. Blackberry was my fave :P I wanna come back and try everything else! The bakery was clean, bright, and cozy. Everything looked fresh and beautiful... I'll def be back. ...maybe with Michelle K. since she gave me crap after seeing me check in. Stalker. -_-

    OMG the MACAROOOOOONS!!!! All I can say is wowza yowza! I had a sweet tooth craving on a rainy day and decided that I wanted to try one of the infamous Euro Pane macaroons. I seriously don't regret it. I ordered the pumpkin macaroon and nearly died at first bite. It was perfection. Ended up coming home with a box ... 2 of each flavor to be exact. Yes, THAT good.

    Whenever I'm not sure what I want to eat, but know that I want something good; I go to Euro Pane Bakery. Their sandwiches are delicious because their bread is the best. Buy a loaf- I guarantee you'll eat bread and butter for a couple days. If I want something quick, I get a poppy seed twist. It's light, flaky, earthy, and a somehow; a little sweet. Their specialty coffees are a hit and miss; depending on who makes them. I suggest trying something new each time you visit (you'll go more than once). I'm eating their plum-apricot-something right now and it's delicious! The macaroons are bright, happy colors because that's how you'll feel when you eat them. The service depends on what day and time you go. I always anticipate a line. It varies, but I don't suggest Euro Pane if you're in a rush. The workers are usually friendly- but be patient because it's worth it. Four stars because it's a little pricey, but it's worth it.

    The pastries are soooo good that I wanted to have a smoke after. And I don't smoke. Although they also serve salads and sandwiches, make sure you make room for a pastry or three. I have not been able to leave this place with less then three pastries-- usually a couple of macaroons and some kind of cookie. In addition, the sandwiches are also amazing. I highly recommend the open-faced egg salad sandwich. Street parking only but it's usually pretty easy to find, even on a Saturday morning.

    I'm just going to cut to the chase here. And yes it's what is already said in majority of the reviews. And yes they are right. Open-faced Egg Salad Sandwich. My friends insisted that it must be on the Olive Bread, and it was pretty dang good but honestly can't say I've tried it with other breads so the other breads may be just as dang good. The egg was perfectly boiled so that the yolk was still in the limbo between cooked and a tad undercooked. So it created a creaminess that welded the seasonings and ingredients together that stayed afloat the bed of greens that sat on top of the bread. Macaroons here are pretty good as well. They're big, pillow-y, and full of sharp flavor. Passion fruit, mocha, and coconut were the only ones available when we were there, but I heard the Salted Caramel is one of the favorites here. I also tried the Zucchini Quiche which was full of flavor, stuffed with ingredients, and with a flaky warm crust! You order first then sit down for the food to come. Coffee bar is also available.

    Pastries here were a big let down. Both the SCONE and CROISSANTS weren't very good. Croissant wasn't flaky at all. Tried the COCONUT MACARON, not bad. Great flavor, buttercream filling. EGG SALAD SANDWICH is really all the rave and more. Made the trip worth while. My DRIP COFFEE was good :) BOTTOMLINE: I would skip this place for pastries and desserts if you're a particular foodie like me. Sandwiches are probably where they shine.

    Probably a personal preference, but I'm not a big fan of the open-faced egg salad sandwich. The rosemary currant bread with the tomato spread is great, but the egg salad is too creamy, to the point that I felt nauseous after finishing my sandwich. It tasted okay and the sandwich was filling, but I'm not sure if I'd order it again. Call me dull, but the turkey sandwich is more to my liking. It's a lighter sandwich stuffed with slices of tasty turkey meat and fresh veggies. The iced vanilla latte is great, with just the right balance of vanilla, milk and espresso. It's not strong enough to keep me up all night, but enough so that I'm alert for the rest of the day. The majority of my return visits are for their macarons. Euro Pane makes fresh and sizeable macarons with a tasty ganache filling. This location isn't exactly a beautiful sight to behold, compared to the other one further down Colorado Blvd. The interior is rather uncomfortably small and there isn't a lot of stuff in their display cases. The workers, on the other hand, are always bright and cheery and happy to help out. My experiences here have always been pleasant, if not with the food, then with the service.

    Note to self: Don't think about coming a couple hours before they close unless you don't intend on eating the infamous open faced egg salad sandwich. I came to Euro Pane with one thing on my mind and that was to get the open faced egg salad sandwich. I made the mistake of coming near closing time so of course they ran out. I was totally and utterly disappointed at that point but the experience wasn't a total loss. I got the meatloaf sandwich on ciabatta bread. The bread was surprisingly not hard but the texture was baked to perfection. The meatloaf was definitely robust and with the wonderful combination of the mayo, dijon mustard and vegetables it all came together for a tantalizing taste of success. Open faced egg salad sandwich who? The red velvet cupcakes were tiny but the cake itself was decently soft. The sweet cream cheese topping wasn't overly sweet. More cheesy than anything and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cream cheese balances the sweetness of the cake. The blueberry cheese danish caught my eye when I first walked up to peruse the menu. I just had to get my hands on the last one. Fresh blueberries with a cheesy custard all sitting on a pillow of soft bread. I think I enjoyed this more than the red velvet cupcake. Euro Pane has reignited my love for an Arnold Palmer. I could taste a bit of the lemonade's sour pulp. They serve it to you unmixed which makes for wonderful presentation. Man oh man. I need to go back for the open faced egg salad sandwich!

    This place is good. You can tell they take the time to offer a great variety of distinct pastries. It's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Having said the above, it's a crap shoot when it comes to customer service! My goodness... At times I feel like It's a hipster place on the West Side with employees that make you feel like their doing you the favor to serve you! I'm going to give it a few more tries before I give up. Maybe a conversation with the owner may help. Overall, I enjoy the food very much.

    Came here after having lunch upstairs at New Delhi Palace. The blond cashier asked how many macarons I wanted. I told her 6. She gave me some cracked ones and I was fine with it since it wasn't a gift or anything, it was for myself and my family to enjoy. When paying she told me she will give me another one to replace the cracked ones. I as thrilled because some bakeries don't care and just sell the broken ones. She said "I normally cut up the broken ones and give as samples but I don't feel like it and want you to have them for free." Thank you very much! They are very delicious! Will come back again :)

    First time coming to this place Euro pane is a small cute place. One think that I didn't like about this place is that it is small and does get crowded fast. I had the salmon sandwich on a rosemary and it was absolutely delicious. The taste of the salmon just melts in my mouth. I will definitely get this again when I go back. My friend ordered the egg salad on a rosemary. I had a small bite if her sandwich. The egg salad was good, however I felt like it was a bit heavy. But I will also try getting the egg salad the next time I go back. I definitely would recommend the salmon and the egg salad.

    OMG I am so addicted to those poppy seed twists they are so GOOD, it's so buttery, crispy and heavenly. I've been here 3 days straight because I was in Pasadena during those three days. ekkk I would be in trouble if I lived closer. Also, FYI this Euro Pane is the only one that makes the poppy seed twists. The one on 345 Colorado does not carry it, they didn't tell me until the third time I asked for the Poppy Twists. This is how the convo went: Me) Do you have any of the poppy twists today? Them) No. Me after the third time getting rejected) Do you guys even make it here? Them) No Me) Have you ever made it? Is it only at the other Euro Pane? Them) Yes only the other makes it. I can't believe that both Euro Pane's are so different from one another. The big store is so rude when it comes to service whereas, the original small store has great service. Don't understand, but I'm glad that they do make those Twists!!

    Not too shabby. I've been here, oh I dunno.. 3.. 4 times already, and I normally (meaning always) order a double espresso. As with everything in life.. EVERYTHING.. it depends on who the barista is that's pulling the shots. I've had some really flavorful and robust cups of espresso and I've had some that are fairly tame in their flavor palette. Either way the service is pretty good and I've never really had a bad experience here. I've never had a really exciting experience either but I suppose that's more of a life issue than a bakery issue. Oooooooooh well. Check this place out if you're in the area. You won't be surprised, but then again you won't be disappointed either. It will be a very calm, republican experience.

    I came during lunch on a Sunday. Big Mistake. The restaurant was ridiculously crowded (but somehow i found a seat for my friend and i within about a minute). The customer service was superb and the man taking orders was both cheerful and helpful. I ordered a salmon sandwich, and boy oh boy was it amazing! As for parking? kind of a pain, but just park at Paseo, get your ticket validated, and walk over :)

    While I used to love this place for their macarons and egg salad sammiches, I feel like their quality has gone down. The last 3 times I purchased the sea salt macarons, they were soft / stale. The first time it happened, I actually drove back to tell them. The lady working the front tried a bite of one (not from the ones I was returning), and agreed that they tasted as if too much moisture had gotten to them. She didn't seem surprised (almost as if she knew they were not made correctly, but they were still selling them). Where's the quality control?? The second and third time it happened, I figured it was useless going back since it now seems apparent that they just don't make them like they used to. What a bummer. I was a huge fan. Their other pastries and menu items look good as well, but I'm just no longer drawn to Euro Pane since I came mostly for their sea salt caramel macarons.

  • Victor L.

    #87 of LA Weekly's top dishes of LA: The Egg Salad Sandwich It is a pretty darn good sandwich. Not your typical store bought quick bites. The bread was crispy and the currants gave a nice hint of sweetness. The tomato spread on the bottom was so delicious I wish I had more of that. The egg was good too, but they put way too much. I just wanted a little less of that and more of that tomato stuff. Their macaroons were yummy also. Not up to snuff with a lot of other macaroons I have eaten, but comparable. They are big and have that nice chew. Salted Caramel is where it is at!!! I don't ever crave an egg salad sandwich, but I might come back for this one. If not then just for macaroons.

    after many years, Euro Pane continues to be my favorite bakery/cafe on the eastside. i'm fortunate to be living in walking distance from it nowdays. i continue to find new offerings in their pastry case and have still not tried every variety of pastry. i love their fresh BISCOTTI. so generous in size and just the right amount of crumbly. the BLUEBERRY BRIOCHE and CRUMBLY MONKEY BREAD are also favorites on my list. the FENCH BROWNIE is also one of my tops, with its molten filing and pearl sugar top. today was the perfect pasadena rainy day for a take out brunch. i re-visited the open faced EGG SALAD SANDWICH, and ordered a PRESSED HAM AND CHEESE PANINI for hubby. there's a 20 minute wait for the panini, but it was delicious enough to justify the time. he had it on ciabatta, mine on cranberry walnut. they do each come with a cookie, and this time we got one of the chocolate chips (with semi-sweet) and an oatmeal. both fresh, with just the right amount of crisp and chew. despite my finding that over time, and perhaps the popularity of this item, the size of my egg salad sandwich seems to have shrunk. the abundance of egg salad, which topped the slice of bread, being generous, however, was just the right portion to fill me. the new offering i picked up today was the CREME FRAICHE PIE. it was light and custardy, with just the right amount of sweetness. i was so happy with it and haven't yet been disappointed with anything new i've tried. i just need to be brave with every new pick ;) a few of the items we've enjoyed recently, aside from our standard macaron picks (being esp. the salted caramel) are the RASPBERRY TEACAKE, PEAR TEACAKE, RASPBERRY ALMOND TARTE, FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE, HAM & CHEESE QUICHE and VEGGIE QUICHE. i love that this is a bakery i can count on time and time again.

    Giant... macarons. The largest that I've had so far but aside from that I really enjoyed their sandwich! FOOD QUALITY: I ordered the open faced egg salad sandwich. Loose egg sandwich, sun dried tomato, pesto, and greens over bread. The clear flavor that made this sandwich delicious was their sun-dried tomato. The only two things I felt negatively was that the egg salad flavor was a little bit too weak and the pesto flavor didn't really come through at all. Macarons were nice and chewy -- and large! Delightful treat as they weren't overly sweet and pretty light. ENVIRONMENT: It's pretty cramped indoors because this restaurant is pretty small. But luckily there are a few seats outside so you can sit and relax in the open space while watching Pasadena drivers honk and flip off each other. I came here on a whim since I had no clue what to eat around here. I do want to come back here but this isn't a place that I'd rush back to. It's definitely good food but I think they can do a little better on their sandwiches; otherwise enjoy the macarons because they taste good and feel balanced.

    This was the last stop on the morning before my flight to leave. Having been near the area, I decided to give this place a try. Euro Pane seemed like a small, quaint bakery shop that made for a great local spot. Reading the reviews here, I decided to try the mocha macaroon and the open-faced egg salad sandwich. The mocha macaroon was... alright. Having been sitting in a refrigerated glass case, the texture was a bit chewy for a macaroon, and didn't have the usual soft crumbly cookie texture I was accustomed to. True, the macaroon was like 1.5x the size of a normal one, but it just seemed okay to me. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of a macaroons but to each his own. I did want to try the quiche, but not wanting to stuff myself before the flight, I opted instead for the open-faced egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread. Dear god, it was delicious. Normally, I'm impartial to egg salad, but something about this sandwich just came together really well. Wasn't sure if it was the scrumptious egg salad, the toasted rosemarry currant bread, the tomato jam or the combination of the three. I needed a knife and fork to finish the thing, but each bite seemed better than the last. Prices were very reasonable, and it was definitely worth the visit just for the sandwich. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd like to try the quiche or the english muffins (they looked HUGE).

    I got an egg salad sandwich on the walnut cranberry bread, which was hearty and yummy as breakfast. But the macaron I got was a definite no. My friends and I have a thing for macarons-- whereever offered, we will try. The macarons here didn't have that crunch nor a wonderful dessert feeling to it.

    After Elements Cafe, we made our way to the Chalk Festival and then to Euro Pane Bakery for their macarons which are just okay. I tried all of their flavors on saturday. The macarons were decent size for the price, but the taste was just okay. I really did not like their pistachio macaron, it tasted so fake and so melted. Yes melted. The filling of the macaron is suppose to be soft, almost meringue texture, but this was was like ice cream that's been sitting out in the sun..it wasn't completely melted - like liquid... but it's at that phase where it's about to turn into liquid.. All the other flavors were decent. My favorite flavor is probably the raspberry and the what's suppose to be coffee but to me it tasted like hazelnut. I would like to come back and try their open face egg sandwich, heard it's really good.

    Haven't been to Euro Pane in a long time. Maracons are now $1,85. Service is great and although I was there around 4pm, the macarons were fresh and delicious. They actually looked bigger than I remembered and they were generously filled. I bought blackberry, raspberry, hazelnut and passion fruit macarons. The latter was devoured right away, it was that good. The hazelnut is a dream, try it!

    My husband and I make it a point to come here whenever we are in Pasadena. We always order their meatloaf sandwich and the egg salad sandwich (2 separate sandos). We are never disappointed. And I'm not even a meatloaf and egg salad kind of girl.

    Oh man. Oh boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. This place wow. Let me remind you that this is probably the absolute best warm sandwich I have ever had in my life and also the dessert choices are amazing. I always get the turkey cranberry sandwich and that is just amazing. Honestly I really cant think of a word to describe the amount of food porn this place has man. By far the best place to eat in Pasadena.

    A GRIPE, THOUGH! My husband is a HUGE fan, visiting here often for "lunch," usually a giant sweet roll of some kind. Oh, and he is commissioned to buy some of their famous granola every couple of weeks. Expensive, but worth it. UNTIL THIS MORNING, that is, when I sampled the newest bag--bought within the week. The famous crunch? NOT THERE. I had to gnaw and gnaw like a goat, before giving up entirely on my Greek yogurt-and-granola morning feast. And now I have a whole canister of the $tuff! Europane: Quality control with the granola, please. Or bake it longer. Or date the bottom of the bag. SOMETHING. I am now at a breakfast loss. UPDATE: I re-baked the stale batch myself, this afternoon, for about 45 minutes, and now it's perfect--which Europane's granola usually is.

    Small little place with nice friendly staff, good sandwiches, and decent prices considering it is in Pasadena. I got the opened faced egg salad sandwich on brioche bread. They cook their eggs medium boiled so the egg salad is very good and soft, no need to reach for the water with a mouthful of dry egg. Careful! It can be quite messy as I dropped my egg salad on my pants and remembered my brother in law did the same thing last time! My friend had their tomato and feta sandwich with added smoked salmon for +$1 extra and she enjoyed it too. Friend enjoyed their sea salt caramel macaroon but I didn't care for it. Those little things aren't cheap! They have lots of fresh artisan bread sitting out and from what I can remember they all tasted pretty good, though I do not prefer sourdough in general so never tried that. I hear their coffee is quite good too. Felt good to sit outside with a light breeze on a nice day enjoying my sandwich. =D

    Euro Pane Bakery is a small cafe. I came here to try their macorons and the egg salad sandwich. Their macorons are big and good, but not wow. I tried the salty caramel flavor and actually thought i've tried better, but it was still on a good side. I also ordered the egg salad sandwich togo, but when i brought it home, they messed up on my order and ended up with the smoked salmon sandwich on olive bread. Even though my order was wrong, i still enjoyed the salmon sandwich. Again, i wouldn't say it's the best i've tried, but it was good. I really enjoyed the olive bread. I was disappointed that they messed up on my order because i really wanted to try what the egg salad sandwich was all about. So i guess i would have to come back and try it another day. The service was nice, but my order took quite long to come out. My review is to be continued when i try the egg salad sandwich. Stars: 3.75

    My friend took me here for breakfast one morning. I'm not generally a big fan of breakfast, but the food was pretty good. I'm also not an egg salad sandwich fan, and it was pretty darn good. The decor of the place is nice and laid out pretty simply. It took us awhile to park because the meter was being difficult, but then again it is Pasadena. The food is a little overpriced, but for an upscale breakfast place it's not bad. We encountered an awkward situation where one of the workers hit on my friend while we were ordering macaroons. We didn't know how to respond. He felt bad and gave us free macaroons! They were better than I expected especially since I didn't know if they were known for their macaroons at the time.

    Euro Pane..you NEVER disappoint!! I absolutely LOVE this place!!! The open faced egg salad sandwich is #soogood!!! (Sorry, I just HAD to hashtag :) ) This time around, I got fancy and ordered a quinoa salad along with my egg sandwich..I was a little shocked when the total was $14! But I proceeded anyway. This place is a bit pricey for what it is, but hey! you're in Pasadena, everything here is expensive! I think it's definitely worth at least a try! This is my go-to spot whenever i'm in Pasadena. I've also had the Quiche and Macaroons there aren't bad either! Thanks again, Euro Pane! Overall: It's my 4th visit and i've loved it every time! Service is great and food is delicious!

    Was so excited about this place. I'm definitely an egg slut and with all the rave reviews of the OPEN FACED SOFT BOILED EGG SALAD SANDWICH yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… and being on Jonathan Gold's 99 LA essential list I was itching to try this place out. Got there and was offered a sample of their new salads. Tried the kale salad and it was pretty good. Ordered by sandwich, the guy recommended the ROSEMARY BLACK CURRANT BREAD... and grabbed the last table in nearly packed restaurant. Sandwich tasted great, albeit the tomato pesto was a little too tangy for my taste. The only problem was I got FOOD POISONED! :( Go figure, a partially cooked egg might do that to you. I guess I was so excited about the idea the thought of getting food poisoned never crossed my mind. This is only the second time I've been poisoned... I almost want to say it was worth it. :P I'm pretty sure it was sandwich considering I didn't eat breakfast and stomach cramps started hitting me right before dinner. Other than the food poisoning, the service was pretty mediocre. Asking the guy at the counter for recommendations for bakery goods he basically told me people like different things. Well, duh! If you don't have anything that you'd recommend as being phenomenal you might want to rethink your menu. Maybe he was just tired as it was coming towards the end of their. Anyway, got a couple things. The ENGLISH MUFFIN yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… was pretty interesting. Light and fluffy, not what I think of when I imagine an english muffin but still good. Also, got a loaf(sliced - yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… ) of their rosemary currant bread to go. Happily eating that while I'm getting over my food poisoning :P Finally, should have taken Ronald L's advice and steered clear of the MACARONS yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… . Got the SALTED CARAMEL to try yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… it was hard (possibly cause of the refrigeration) and the filling was pretty bland. Overall, it was a decent experience that kept going downhill. Would love to come back and give it another try. Note: Street parking is a bit of a pain to find during the busy Pasadena lunch hour. Also, when I asked the guy where the best place to park after I ordered the totally ignored me. -1 star.

    Oh. My. Gosh. I think I've found my new favorite sandwich. 5 stars for their amazing delicious devourable perfect egg salad sandwich which I ordered on cranberry bread, and it came open-face spread with sundried tomato pesto and a few leaves of baby greens with a hint of lemon. The eggs were done just right~ not runny, but not solid/boiled and I think they put like 4 eggs on that small thing! It was sooooooo GOOD! I would have ate it in 5 seconds if I didn't have to tame myself by eating it with a fork and knife. They also have really yummy macarons with the perfect texture, just the right delicate amount of flaky crunch on the outside and smooth cold cream on the inside. MMMMM. My friend and I shared the raspberry, hazelnut, and sea salt caramel one and the SEA SALT CARAMEL macaron was the best by FAR. That is the only one I'm going to get from now on! It was the perfect amount of salty and sweet. I wanted to give it a round of applause after I took the first bite. The only thing that kinda sucks about this place is the parking and it's pretty small inside. But I heard they're expanding to another store also on Colorado (closer to Arroyo Parkway) very soon! :)

    Legitimately everything I've had at Euro Pane has been ridiculously good. The mocha macarons, the mocha cookies, the *actual* mochas (I think you can see a bit of a motif here) are all absolutely phenomenal, as well as every other cookie, pastry or loaf of bread I've sampled. Try your sandwich on cranberry walnut! That stuff is great. Everything's great. Great great great. Oh, and get the beef dip. I had one for brunch after a long night out, and it was one of the most satisfying meals I've eaten in ages. Tender meat, gooey cheese, freshly baked bread. Delightful. The staff is super nice, too. It can get pretty hectic, particularly on the weekends, but everyone has always been super helpful and polite. Now that I'm a regular they all know me by name. The prices are completely reasonable for what you get, and it's getting to be the perfect season for brunch outdoors. I'm fortunate to live right down the street, but I'll keep coming back no matter where I move.

    I don't care for the egg salad sandwich. I can make that at home with my handy dandy Egg Timer app set to soft-boil. The winner here is the pastries -particularly the macarons! My favorite is the sea salt one. Arnold Palmer's here are refreshing and ohso pretty.

  • Tak I.

    Finally tried the open faced egg salad sandwich today. It IS as good as everyone says. I've been here maybe a handful of times since moving out here in august and this is definitely one of the best places for a lunch sandwich thats walking distance from work. Truly has the mom and pop authenticity. I've also had the meatloaf sandwich and the tuna melt, and both are delicious. Decent prices at about 8$ for a good sandwich. Way worth the extra couple bucks if you're contemplating on going to subway next door.

    Great bakery goods and quick and health lunch meals. Their service is quick and fast. Their almond chicken salad is a great healthy lunch and is a must try. I looove all the almond crusted into their chicken. The quality if their food is excellent and their price is justified.

  • Jennifer C.

    Sea Salt Macaron $1.85: u can hardly taste the sea salt and the outer shell is not as crumbly as a good macaron should be. Their macarons are huge but perhaps because i came before they close...they weren't as fresh. Lychee Macaron $1.85: had i not bought this myself i would not know that it was lychee flavor. about one hour before closing they stop serving sandwiches so we didn't get to try anything else. Service is friendly but the macarons are nothing special

  • Sandy S.

    I came here for their macaroons because I heard it was good compared to Bottega. Their macaroons were bigger and is not as expensive as other places...which is a plus. It was also very soft and chewy and what a macaroon should be...I think they should offer more flavors though. Oh and I tried their lemon bar which I thought was very tarty and sour. It's just the way I like it. I also dined in with my friend and had the infamous egg salad sandwich. Usually, I don't prefer mayo in anything but if you go, you must try this sandwich! I like how they cook their eggs and they way they fix it...it's just too delicious.

    Came here for lunch today after having it on my bookmark for months! I came with one goal in mind - OPEN FACED EGG SANDWICH!! I blame it on everyone who has posted a picture of this beautiful thing on yelp!!! I got here at PRIME LUNCH time, 1230pm, and it was pretty packed. Since its such a small place there were no open tables and the line was out of door. I stood my ground and waited patiently for my egg sandwich. Me and my friend ordered the open faced egg sandwich ($7.50) and tuna sandwich ($7.50) - and shared. The sandwiches all come with your choice of breads. Can't remember them all, but we got the rosemary currant and the cranberry walnut. The egg sandwich is really beautiful, with creamy half cooked eggs piled on top of tomato sauce and lettuce - all placed on really crispy toast. It was good in that the eggs were cooked perfectly, but it tasted like NOTHING. NO FLAVOR. I couldn't even figure out what sauce the eggs were covered in. I was SOOO disappointed. I ran over to the counter and sprinkled on the salt - PROBLEM FIXED :). The tuna sandwich was much bigger, with fresh chunks of meaty tuna, that complimented well with the cranberry and walnut bread. Not too saucy and very FRESH ingredients. Much better than the egg sandwich... Their pastries looked so cute and delicious - so no, I couldn't resist (yes I face this problem often). Got myself a Fruit Tart w/raspberry,strawberry ($3.85). The fruit was piled on like sky high and this one totally sold me! The tart was freshly made. Perfect amount of sweetness. I devoured the entire thing in about 10 min flat!!! (Gross!) Overall the sandwiches were 3 stars. For the price, it was REALLY nothing special and I just couldn't get over the blandness! The pastry was 5 star!!! LOL! So 4 stars overall...

    GET IT ON WITH MACARON! They are huge, well worth $1.85. Sea salt caramel is divine. Not as light and airy in cookie, but in whip, yes. All the flavors weren't available or on display when I was there. Fall Beet Salad-This should be the any season salad. They load on a mountain of beets that aren't too strong in flavor so that you can tolerate eating an entire plate without getting sick of it. Although you can tell these beets were from a can with its indentations, this makes a nice light treat any time of the year. Walnuts weren't too heavily caramelized in sugar. The herb dressing tastes just like an Italian dressing. Great customer service. Even with the big crowd and long lines, the staff was very friendly. Love the communion table. I'm all about the communion. This is a nice little brunch or lunch spot.

    Bookmarked...Check!! Finally arrived to the well-loved and applauded by many.... Euro Pane Bakery. 5 stars for the food! Open-faced egg salad sandwich. What a delightful twist on the ordinary mayo-infused cold mashed traditional one. Theirs was special indeed! On one slice of toasted sourdough bread, there lay sliced (not chopped) warm eggs with the yolk still runny. How can you resist under-cooked yolk...if you're an egg slut like me?? Every bite was sensational, gooey, warm, and an explosion of flavors!!! The macaroons...Oh the macaroons. The salted caramel was so delightfully tantilizing on my taste buds...I wanted to scream! The outside is crisp and the inside was chewy with a nice surprising cool temperature than the rest of the cookie. The salt crystals sprinkled on top was a wonderful contrast to the sweetness. Why not a 5 star? The price and the waiting. This is not a restaurant, so I expected no more than a 10 minute wait for my sandwich. It took them almost 20 minutes. Were they waiting for the chickens to lay the eggs? I walked out of there with one sandwich (which really was half a sandwich) and 6 macaroons, costing me $14 and I wasn't full, just satiated. My next mission, regardless of the price..is to try their quiche.

    Salted Caramel is one of the best I have ever had! As much as it is great to have a large cookie size macaroon, I missed the small bite size macaroons I grew up on, I was so sugar-d out from one, it was too much to try the sampler box I received as a gift! But great traditional texture and perfect chew!

  • Kathy G.

    First time to the original location. It's definitely not as nice here, but I heard they had more of a selection to the menu and more flavors of macarons...good enough for me!? Tuna salad sandwich on olive bread toasted. Probably my favorite tuna salad sandwich. It's not saturated with mayo either. Very good! I kept telling myself to order the egg salad, but I just had a craving for the tuna. Then the couple next to us has an egg salad open faced sandwich and I was just a little more than jealous. It looked soooo good. I am for sure getting that next time! We also had the little canneles pastry-very popular in the Bordeax region. It is a small miniature bundt cake (but taller and narrower) and it has a caramelized/almost burtnt crust and is soft and cakey on the inside with a creamier texture towards the middle. It's not overly sweet, and is very different, but I love them! We had this chocolate cookie too, and it was so chocolatey, sweet and rich, we couldn't finish it. Chocolate lover's dream cookie. Just not us. I brought home 6 macarons as usual, and I noticed that all but the salted caramel ones were a little off this day. the others were too wet in the middle and did not have the usual chewy crispy soft texture. They slid around all over and they didn't taste right. :( I also bought a bunch of dog treats (my dog loved them) and a couple loaves of bread (MMMMMM) I take it home to freeze for a rainy day. Just spritz with water and throe it in the oven for a few minutes!

    GEeeeeeeeezzzzzzz dat open face egg salad thing. Seriously, I think it was the first yelp tip that panned out. Get the egg salad sandwich, its good. Love the large windows letting in the soft light. Place is always clean and the workers are charming.

  • Sunny C.

    I came through to pick up some lunch before work. I ordered a egg salad sandwich with avocado with a couple custard filled pastries and it costed $14.25. John took my order and rang me up. I waited 25 minutes before I followed up on my order. The cashier dismissed me at first because she said she did not take my order. Then she asked me to pay again. I said I paid close to $15 like 25 minutes ago. They bring out an egg salad which has no avocado. I tell them I paid for avocado. They take another 5 minutes and bring it back telling me it's in there. I walk back to my office, check the sandwich, no avocado in the sandwich. I take it back for a full refund, which was easy. I go get lunch at a great bakery and sandwich shop like across the street but did not have to deal with Europanes crappy, incompetent service.

  • Lily Y.

    I wanted to try their macaroons since I have great things about them. The macaroons were pretty big. They had several flavors. The ones that I tried were all good, but they were not that soft and chewy like Lette. Macaroons - pistachio, mocha, raspberry, salted caramel My favorite was the salted caramel. :)

    I finally had a chance to try their open face egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread ($7.25). The bustling crowd had already dissipated by the time I got there in the late afternoon. The bread was decent and the sandwich came with a layer of fresh greens and generous servings of creamy egg salad with garnishes on top. The texture was very creamy and buttery. Depending on one's preference, I thought the flavor from the eggs was difficult to detect. For dessert, my sweet raspberry macaroon was soft and delicious. I also ordered an olive and onion bread ($1.35) and blueberry brioche ($2.85) for the next morning. These were my favorite breakfast items from this place, but a thick layer of grease also soaked through both sides of the paper bag overnight to draw concerns over their actual contents. After several visits, I realized this place is decent with good macaroons but nothing else was mind blowing or spectacular. Service was brief but the response rate was much faster than their busy hours. 3 stars for the decent experience.

  • Marina S.

    I wanted french macaroons, good ones. I went to other places and my hopes were dashed over and over... Then a friend directed me here... I went in and got many flavors and OH MY GOD!!!! These macaroons are insane!!! Soft, chewy, flavorful... absolutely divine!

  • Catie G.

    My mom remembered her egg salad sandwich from several years ago, which is why we visited on Friday. It was just as delicious as she remembered, and I loved it too. I also enjoyed my Arnold Palmer, clearly homemade and crisp; the bottled Arnold Palmers aren't even the same drink. The only strange thing is that there was no water left nor forks, so I ate my sandwich with a spoon, but no big deal. Also, try VP Nail Care next door- we did, and got great manicures for an amazing price (made up for what we spent at Euro Pane for sure!)

  • Sean Y.

    Like: - Exceptional customer service - Always fresh - Les Macaroons es tres bien! Dislike: - Parking in Pasadena sucks, not Euro Pane's fault. Note: GREAT place for a casual date, business meeting, or get together with friends. Seems like a good place for girl friends to get together for "girl time", which means it might be a good place for guys to get together for "girl time" as well (haha).

  • Joyce L.

    Well this place was disappointing. My BFFFFFF and I are always looking for dessert places because POP is never open in the day and because we are Piggies. After a yummy breakfast at Novel Cafe, which has disappointing desserts, we searched high and low for desserts. Do Dici (not sure of spelling) looked realllllly good but was closed when we got there. Their hours are not updated on Yelp. So we saw pics of goodies and came here. Things looked yummy in the case but tasted ok. We ordered a caramel something pie. The crust and top tasted weird but the inside caramelly thing was good. We got some macarons which were good. We wanted to get a fruit tart but as we were going to order, we saw all these flies on the tart. Their display doesn't have any closed portion so it's just open. We knew that meant there were flies on our macarons and our pie (which was sitting out in the open without any covering whatsoever) too but since we didn't physically see the fly on those items and were feening for sweets - we still bought it. But we won't be back. Ever.

  • Kevin C.

    Came here with a friend for lunch; she ordered the half turkey [and added avocado, pleasantly without extra charge] and I the meatloaf, on recommendation from a friend. To be frank, I was a little disappointed by both of the sandwiches, and disoriented by how totally disorganized the whole ordering process and display seemed to be [no labels on the pastries, people running about; one person even walked over to ask for their soup, which had apparently just been sitting in the microwave]. Based on the first run alone, I'd probably go with three stars, but given that I haven't tried the egg salad nor the pastries yet, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and withhold that judgment until later. Until next time!

    Drinks: Iced Latte, Gruyere Cheese Bread Euro Pane has a pretty hot location on Colorado Blvd, right across the street from Paseo Colorado. I will often drop by when I go for my afternoon coffees. I know that this place's namesake is its breads, but I've taken a liking to their iced latte's. The iced lattes here have a smooth milky aftertaste which after that bitter coffee sip, puts the LA LA LA in LAtte. I'll have to try the food here one day, since practically every lunch hour, this place has literally every outdoor seat occupied. NOTE: There are 2 Euro Panes on Colorado only a couple blocks away from each other?! This review is intended for the one closest to Paseo Colorado.

    *****EGG SALAD SANDWICH***** Hands down... I been coming here many, many times in the past month. I usually order the open-faced egg salad sandwich on rosemary bread. They have this jelly spread which is goes together with the lettuce and egg. The eggs taste fresh with the right amount of mayo. Writing this review is making me want it. The first time I had this sandwich I couldn't stop thinking about it. I fell head over heels. B.O.M.B I had the turkey and ham and cheese sandwich also and both came out dry and not good to my liking. Hope this helps.

  • Rick M.

    It's a really nice restaurant with a charm all its own. My buddies often hang their shirts here, purely for the egg salad sandwiches that you get here. Yeah, it isn't as authentic as you'd expect but for sure calls for your shot. We simply loved the freshness of bread and fresh veggies (guess were plucked straight from the farm). Huh, tasted heaven (don't ditch their super size macrons either). Love the place and their entire menu of varied cuisines. However, service should get take a step up here - simple things like fresh silverware and all matters at the end of the day, doesn't it? Anyways, the décor is pretty decent but wouldn't really grab the eyeballs of those who riffle through plush interiors before grabbing a bite! It's good but definitely not the best.

  • Ashley V.

    Lots of delicious desserts here! They also serve drinks and a few food items, but I mainly come here for the macarons. They are huge and so good! My favorite, and I definitely recommend it, is the Sea Salt Caramel one. YUM!

  • Doctor C.

    Ask the ladies about food. The sweet guy who was "helping" me knew little to nothing about the food. If you order a veggie sandwich, you have to ask to toast the bread. If not, the rosemary currant bread is soft and mushy without a delectable contrast to the veggies. This was an okay experience, but I don't think I'd make a special trip.

    Sea salt macroon was the best, firm to the bite and chewy. The mango sounds awesome and looks awesome ,but had a very gooey center.

    It's so convenient for me to hop on over to Euro Pane during my lunch break since it's close to my work place. Therefore, I've had the opportunity to try several items on their menu. Here are some of my favorites (not in any particular order)... Smoked Salmon Sandwich Open-Face Egg Salad Sandwich (I hear that they're famous for this dish) Turkey Sandwich Meatloaf Sandwich (try this and it will restore your faith in meatloaf) Kale Salad (rather unique as it comes with goji berries) Veggie Quiche And for dessert, get the Chocolate Croissant. I strongly encourage everyone to try it. It's just that amazing. One thing to consider is to call ahead and place your order. They are very busy during the lunch hour and it takes them some time to get the food out to the customers. Also, I'm not a huge fan of their drinks (chai latte, for example), yet I know that some of my co-workers love their coffee. Also, it's quite funny that the employees don't even know how to pronounce "Euro Pane". So I hear different, new, and made-up pronunciations all the time.

    I have eaten here a couple times with a friend who wanted to go. I've never been impressed with their lunches or breakfasts. I had an extremely bland Pressed Ham and Cheese Sandwich today. I didn't even eat the whole thing. Their macaroons are really great and so is the pasty I'm told. For me tho', I can't recommend it.

  • Annie H.

    Don't know what the hype is about but this place is overrated and overpriced. I guess they need to jack up the prices to pay the lease. Anyway, got the mozzarella and arugula sandwich and it was ok. You might think a mediocre sandwich for $9 would come with a side but nope. Blah! I got the vanilla latte and it was bitter! Yuck! I think I probably put about seven packets of sugar. If that wasn't bad enough she didn't give me my dozen macarons! When I asked her she had a puzzled look on her dumb face and thought I was lying. Oh yes, I stuffed a dozen macs in my cheeks! Ugh! This craphole will never take my money again! BTW, restroom was also busted so I didn't wash my hands. Gross! Thank goodness for hand sanitizer.

  • Lena K.

    obsessed with this place. i've been here once a week for the past month. $1.85 for the biggest macarons i've ever seen... such a steal! hazelnut and strawberry are my favorite, but the other ones are good as well. as far as food goes, the only thing i've tried is the egg salad sandwich for $8, and yes, it is as good as people say. i got it with the rosemary current bread, and it was perfection. the eggs were done just right and it lied on a layer of some type of tomato pesto and tons of greens. europane also throws in a free cookie. who doesn't love free cookies? all the workers are super sweet, and i usually don't have trouble finding parking on mentor , which is the street perpendicular to colorado and is right before the block europane is on when heading east. love, love, love.

  • Emily L.

    Maybe I came at a bad time or something, but it really wasn't the food haven I thought it would be. The iced mocha was totally over priced and not thoroughly mixed. There was a layer of chocolate powder crap on the bottom. Nasty. The macaron I had was kind of stale and the mousse on the inside was weirdly airy and not satisfying. You're better off going to 'lette across the way. My friend didn't like her berry tea and, my other friend was okay with her lemonade. Maybe I'll come back to try their food. MAYBE.

    I'm almost never satisfied at Euro Pane and I don't know why... The bread is good, the people are nice, the ingredients are good, the place always has enough space, the customers are nice... I mean I continue coming back, but nothing ever stands out. I guess they are not the one-hit-wonders of the cafe world. However, they succeed on multiple levels. Last time I had a feta tomato sandwich and an iced latte... Frankly they do a better iced drink than a hot one (my experience, taste-wise... somethings always a little flavorless about their cappuccinos). It was adequate. The macarons are good, not sure if they're made in house, but they might be. The lemon was my favorite. I should ask next time I go, because there will always be a next time. I do tend to come back!

    Cue the trendsters, for real. PARKING: Paseo is free parking with validation, so I'd suggest you park there and cross the street to Euro Pane. Of course you'll buy something at Paseo right? (Free validation at Macy's, walk in from Quiksilver side, and it's on your right next to the Chanel counter) AMBIANCE: I love how this cafe feels so open. They have a huge modern wooden bench that seats at least 10 people. Everything has pretty clean lines and feels fresh. It's cutesy, but not too cutesy. FOOD: I had the roast beef sandwich on sourdough, and my roommate had their famous egg salad sandwich. Keep in mind the egg salad sandwich is served open face, so you'll definitely need a fork and knife. She said the toast was a bit on the hard side today, but it's usually PERFECT. The roast beef was pretty good and tasted fresh! Their macarons looked amazing, and they were fully stocked around 1:30PM on a weekday! Will definitely be back for those :)

    Everything is good here. My personal favorite - the chicken salad sandwich on rosemary current bread. Husband's favorite - the egg salad sandwich. Several of my friends favorite - the meatloaf sandwich. And for the holidays, their Stollen is the best I've ever had (sorry Mom).

    Some things on the menu is alright, others really suck (like the macaroons). I do give them a plus for having a communal table. I also like the amount of natural lighting they have here. Otherwise, meh.

    The egg salad sandwich looks like it should be something exceptional but falls flat on flavor. Other sandwiches were fairly average. Checked it off the list but won't be heading back.

    The food is great and I was once a huge fan who frequented quite often... but Euro Pane gets only one star. Why? It's based on my last few visits to the place. Euro Pane has simple fare for the most part- well made sandwiches and an array of delicious pastries. In the past, it didn't take long to get my order. However, the last few times, I've been... a new guy took my orders. I assume he is new since I hadn't seen him before. Also, he fumbled around and wasn't very good at taking down the order. However, this is not what bothered me. What bothered me is that, without fail, that same employee either screwed up my order or failed to put the order in the kitchen because he was so scatterbrained. So about twice, I ended up waiting somewhere between 30-40 minutes for my sandwich. And, no, they were not busy so the delay wasn't due to busyness. Also, once I asked for anther employee to take my order, but the employee who took my order asked the clumsy guy to prep the drink orders since she then took over the cash register. Within seconds of getting instructions, he forgot what the order was and managed to screw up my latte. He gave me a hot coffee instead of a double iced latte. Le sigh! C'est terrible! Lovebirds across the street has a wonderful selection of baked goods and sandwiches. I'll be taking my business over there from now on.

    Had to check it out after seeing this place featured on Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate" - I'm pretty sure "sandwich" edition. I have to say that this is the best egg salad sandwich I've ever had. I wouldn't go as far as to say the best sandwich ever but definitely the best egg salad sandwich. My husband and I ordered them both with multi-grain bread because we frankly couldn't bring ourselves to order it with the rosemary currant bread since we wouldn't want anything sweet like the currants messing with the egg salad. Maybe next time we'd try it with the olive bread. Overall, very delicious sandwich.

    This place was fantastic. But really, it was that good. When I first walked in and saw the pastries I knew I had come to the right place. I came for lunch, but I still ended up bringing a ton of pastries home. Their macarons are really really good, and they're really cheap too! $1.85 for a pretty big macaron, and it is so much of a better deal than Bottega and not worse taste-wise at all. But it really is personal preference, since the macarons here are chewy and the ones at Bottega are crispy. Their donut here is also highly highly recommended (especially if you like cinnamon). Like the others, I tried the open-faced egg salad sandwich. It provided a very 3 dimensional taste with the sun-dried tomato base on the sandwich, which provided a slightly sour and sweet kick to the egg salad sandwich. Also, the rosemary/currant bread was very interesting, very fragrant but didn't take over the flavor in any way. The egg salad was definitely very homemade and fresh as well, so no complaints there. I'd definitely come back again for the pastries and definitely their macarons. Their sea salt caramel flavor was really bomb.

    Imagine Panera but BETTER! And you'll get europane. My friends have told me just how great and awesome their egg salad is so when I decided to come, without doubt the egg salad would my first choice. This place is actually smaller than I imagined. They have other baked pastries and breads as well as their sandwich menu. Asparagus Soup yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… All i have to say is that it tastes very Asparagus-y. Hhaha I don't know how else to describe it. The taste is not overpowering, leaning towards the more bland side.If you are someone that likes more flavorful food then you would probably not like this. Tortilla Soup yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… This tastes more healthy than some that you would get at a place like Bj's. Not as light as the Asparagus soup but still quite tasty. Chicken Sandwich yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… I don't remember the exact name of this sandwich but the description of it sounded sooo tasty. It had mixed green and i think pesto and some other yummy goodness. When we got the sandwich thought, the chicken was a bit dry and lets just say that it definitely was not the start of the meal. I would try some of their other sandwiches next time instead of this one. Egg Salad yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… now THIS Is the STAR of the meal. I am not a big fan of egg salad but my friend insisted that if I ever come to Euro pane that I HAVE to get their egg salad and boy was she right! This was quite yummy and by far the BEST egg salad I have had. It is served on top of a toasted bread and its seasoned perfectly. To top everything off, I got myself 3 different typed of Macaroons since I was just curious. Their macaroons are a bit too sweet.. I mean I know that macaroons are sweet to begin with but these are overly sweet even for macaroons. yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… Overall?.... Atmosphere: good, chill Soup: Would get again Sandwich: Egg salad again most definitely, but not so much the chicken one Macaroons: Save for elsewhere.

    Hard to add anything that hasn't already been said - excellent pastries, good coffee, and the only egg salad sandwich that I've ever liked, let alone loved. Sumi is the sweetest.

    Egg Salad Sandwich - amazing! I believe what makes it the best is the sun-dried tomato spread and the soft boiled eggs. The yolk allows the egg salad to bind with LESS mayo. My favorite egg salad sandwiches are from Japanese markets because they use less mayo and I believe Eruo Pane does as well. Sea Salt Caramel Macaron - chewy cookie with a lot of cream filling. Tasty but not the best. Quiche Lorraine - buttery crust with a super cheesy veggie/meat filling. WARNING: GROSS EMPLOYEES! I have to agree with the other reviews that the service is terrible. One guy was eating a sandwich right behind the counter while people were ordering. I don't understand why the empolyees don't eat in the back. I've worked at a restaurant before and the employees are never allowed to eat on the floor. My bf went up to get a box and the guy LICKED HIS FINGERS and then grabbed a box. So disgusting. Anyone with common sense should know not to do that. You don't have to be a lifelong food service worker. If I see something like that happen again, then I'm going to tell the manager. But then again, it could have been a manager and maybe that's why he felt he could get away it? Anyways, I let it slide since it's my first time and I had to get going. Next time I'm going to watch carefully how the handle the food. I've read in other reviews that they touch it with their bare hands. So unsanitary!

    I get my car serviced in Pasadena and had a few hours to kill on my wait so I ventured over to Euro Pane Bakery. Finally, I thought, I'll try this egg salad sandwich and see if it's all that they say. Euro Pane is a tiny, little place with very limited seating. It's kind of on the shabby end and you get to wander through part of the kitchen to get to the bathroom should nature call. It wouldn't be somewhere that I'd really pull up a seat for a long brunch or anything. I'm so used to the cafe's on 3rd street I didn't know quite what to do without a line outside and some sort of interior design or theming. Anyways, back to the egg sandwich. I unequivocally adored it. Completely unlike any other egg sandwich and without a doubt besting any others I've tried. The yolks come out a little underdone, maintaining some of that lip smacking viscosity that runny yolk folk like myself love. A light dressing coats the quartered eggs. It arrives open faced and I had mine served on their homemade rosemary bread. A few greens (arugula) and a sun dried tomato pesto spread (perhaps a tapenade?) round out the sensation. It's a beautiful looking sandwich and the taste is insane. It goes down so smooth and your mouth literally salivates between fork fulls. I chewed each bite just about as slow as I possibly could in hopes it would last a bit longer. I also picked up two of their macaroons - the sea salt caramel and the raspberry. These are fairly large macaroons. The caramel had a nice balance of salty and sweet. The raspberry had a little too much tart and sugar for me, making me wish I'd gone for the pistachio instead. All of the baked goods behind the counter looked and smelled like perfection. This place really is a bakery and not an eatery so as far as looks go, my initial response proved unwarranted. Besides when your food tastes like this, looks be damned, people will come regardless of the visage.

    This was a last minute find on a Sunday morning and the abundance of good Yelp reviews are what drew us there. Definitely on the list to return again and again. We got there a little before 10:30am and from the looks of it we beat the rush of people because pretty soon the line was twisting around the place (and the space is tiny too). We ordered: -Veggie quiche -Another quiche style breakfast item, but it had ham or prosciutto in it -French toast (the best thing I ate there) -A brownie -and 4 macarons to go (pistachio nut, raspberry, passion fruit & the sea salted caramel) I thought the veggie quiche was delish. I especially loved the seasonings. The french toast was my favorite thing, even more so than the macarons (I think the macarons I had at Bottega Louie were better, they melted in your mouth more and weren't as chewy). My favorite macaron flavors were the pistachio and the passion fruit. Everything else was also excellent, including the coffee. If it's a nice day, I would say grab a table outside, otherwise it's pretty cramped inside, but still enjoyable. Also, try to get there early to avoid the rush. There were so many items on the menu I wanted to come back and try, especially the open faced egg sandwich that is so talked about since it was featured on the Food Network. Highly recommended. :)

    The food is okay. The service stinks. I ordered 3 sandwiches to go for ~ $25 and waited right by the counter with my number placard. We saw a bag placed on the counter and asked if it was ours, and was told no. After 10 minutes, we asked for an update, and was told the food was on the way. After 20 minutes we noted that other people that walked in after us, and had bigger orders, were getting their food. Asked again, and told it was on the way. After 30 minutes, we noted that people who walked in after us were already finishing eating their meals, and when we asked, we were told its on the way. After 35 minutes, we asked more firmly were our food was, and for the first time they went into the back to check. The cook said he made it, and it was already given out. Two register clerks said they gave it away. They said our only two choices are that we can get refunded the money, or pick a new sandwich, because they dont have that sandwich any more. No apology, no alternatives, no anything. We needed to drive somewhere, so after staring at them for 5 minutes, they talked us into getting a different sandwich (the roast beef is less than average), and handed it to us again without any remorse. Worst customer service I have seen in a long time. And the worse part was that there were 5 employees standing there listening, all with the same blank unappologetic expression on their face, including one person who appeared to be the owner/manager, who never said a word.

    My first time at Euro Pane I came in without any knowledge about it whatsoever. I didn't even Yelp it! GASP! It looked fun and I had time to kill. Staff was friendly and I order the turkey sandwich. It was good, nothing to brag about. The turkey was dry, but I loved the avocado that accompanied it. My second time at Euro Pane I ordered a cheese danish. Not much of a complaint there, it was flaky and tasted fresh. A little over priced, but I felt it was worth it. My third trip I ordered a latte and a strawberry danish. I grabbed my latte and my bagged danish and left to work. When I got to work I opened my bag and noticed they placed my danish vertically. All the fruit slid off the danish and laid on the bottom of the bag. I placed the fruit back on the danish and ate it. It tasted great, I was pleased, then I proceeded to lick the bottom of the bag. I grabbed my coffee and.....it wasn't a latte. It was coffee with milk in it. At this point what was I going to do? I drank my coffee and milk. Disappointed. For my fourth time (do I learn my lesson?) I checked the Yelp reviews. Everyone raved about the egg salad on raspberry currant. It didn't sound so good on raspberry, but everyone was raving, so I said, what the heck. Phenomenal! Hands down the best egg salad sandwich I have ever had. And it wasn't your typical egg salad sandwich, in fact it looked nothing like it. So for this alone, you should def give Euro Pane a shot. As for me, I think I've learned my lesson for everything other than the egg salad. Overall, other than the egg salad sandwich I feel this place is overpriced. The egg salad saved their review! Thanks Yelpers!

    I can't believe the LA Times rated Euro Pane's croissant the second best in the city- is someone being paid under the counter?! It tasted like a crispier version of a Costco croissant, not cool Los Angeles. Their baguette was equally unimpressive, not much better than the baguettes you get a Ralph's. Such a disappointment. I liked the ginger scone I had and the vanilla latter was properly made, so bonus points there.

    Not too sure what the hype is, but this is a decent little cafe. I tried the egg salad sandwich due to all the Yelp suggestions and it was pretty good. However, I don't think the price justifies only getting 2 small slices of bread with a heap of egg salad on top. Maybe they should give sides in addition to the salads. It is quite filling, but 2 slivers of orange doesn't exactly beautify a plate the way you think it does. They have plenty of pastries and desserts, which look half yummy. I'd love to try them one day, but it also looks like it's been sitting in that glass case for more than a day. I could be wrong -- they could be fresh baked that morning, but it just doesn't look like it. And they microwave their quiche... isn't there a better way of reheating your customer's food? And if you're gonna microwave, don't put the microwave in plain sight! Directions to restroom, instructions to clear your own plate, recommendations to sample food -- all too small and hidden to read. If you're trying to tell your customer something, either make the font large enough to read or make those things more obvious to people to figure out on their own. I was wondering why some half eaten plate of blueberry muffin thing was just sitting by the cash register. And I was browsing the restaurant for a good 15 minutes to figure out if I was bus my own table or walk away. I was trying to be a good customer.. but you gotta help me out a little!

    One of my favorite spots for a tuna sandwich. I like it on the rosemary bread because the sweetness of the bread with the tuna is just sublime. Of course, the open-faced egg salad sandwich is yummy too. It's just a bit heavy for me sometimes. The turkey is like any other and the meatloaf sandwich was missing something. It tasted way too healthy for meatloaf. The people here are friendly, too.

    Pack it up, pack it in. Let me begin When it comes time to eat, Euro Pane is hard to beat Some Euro Pane hate yes I'm here to debate Their def egg salad sandwich they're tryin' to berate Can they boil their eggs so soft and creamy? Can they make a tomato pesto so tasty and gleamy? Can they bake a bread rosemary so herby supreme-y Can they put them all together in a way that's not mainstream-y? Yo! Take Euro Pane's creation and put it in your mouth. You'll like it! You'll love it! And you know that you will shout... Euro Pane! I'm down! Euro Pane! I'm down! So go to Euro Pane and wolf it down! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! SUMI serves it up like Michael CHANG And egg salad sandwiches are not the whole she-bang She's got more macaroons than War and Peace has got in chapters And the best croissants in town in the mind of this here rapper Can you make a piece of bread so flaky and buttery? Can you make a plain baked good that your heart will go all flutter-y? Can you make it taste homey like it was made by your sweet mother-y? Can you make it taste so good that when you taste it you will shudder-y? Yo! Take Euro Pane's creation and put it in your mouth. You'll like it! You'll love it! And you know that you will shout... Euro Pane! I'm down! Euro Pane! I'm down! So go to Euro Pane and wolf it down! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! Now, last time I was there, the weather was real cold And sitting down real close to me was the revered Jonathan Gold He was sipping at his hot drink and eating some plain toast I just had seen him the week before, he was the movie UDON host How good the toast must be here if it's eaten by this gourmand? How good the drinks must be if the LA Weekly writer's fond? How good this place must be if Jon And Mostly Every Server BOND? How good Euro Pane must be if the restaurant is so fawned? Yo! Take Euro Pane's creations and put them in your mouth. You'll like it! You'll love it! And you know that you will shout... Euro Pane! I'm down! Euro Pane! I'm down! So go to Euro Pane and wolf it down! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

    We came here because the egg salad sandwich was on Gold's 99 essentials list. 4 stars for the egg salad sandwich. The eggs are soft boiled so if you don't like that style, don't get it! 2 stars for the macarons. They were unbelievably hard macarons. As in, I tapped my finger on the macaron and it refused to break. The raspberry filing wasn't impressive, it didn't taste like raspberry. The atmosphere felt sterile, like a hospital cafeteria. Where's the ambient music? I'd come here for the egg salad, but only if you happen to be in the area.

    Walks up to the counter guy. "Let's just get this out of the way right now. I won't be able to concentrate til I tell you that I think you are freaking sexy. Now can I have one of each of the macarons and that chocolate cookie and the fruit tart to go please." I understand why old men are grumpy now. I think I'm turning into one of them. Literally everything pisses me off lately. I'm gonna be that old man sitting on his front porch yelling at the "hoodlums and hooligans" to get off my grass. "Why is the floor so dirty? Let me introduce the workers to a broom." "Can someone turn on the AC? Why is it so hot in herrr?" *So hot in* 15 bucks and a box of sweets later... Macarons -Pistachio, skip. -Raspberry, meh -Espresso, okay Chocolate Cookie was okay. It tasted like it was from Vons, on the sale table in those plastic containers with the yellow $2.99 sticker on it. It was my fault I didn't read the other yelps cause I came later in the day and there wasn't that much of a selection left. I didn't get the infamous sandwich but then again I would never order an egg sandwich because I can make that at home. Paulette is better. Why cheat with some floozy when you got Sandra Bullock at home. Oh wait. That happened. Guess we all make dumb decisions sometime.

    Never has the collective wisdom of Yelp failed so miserably. 4 stars???C'mon people of Pasadena, I know you're starved for a pastry place to be proud of, but this place ain't it. No matter how often you chant the mantra that their croissants and pastries are "awesome", that still doesn't make it true. Honestly, this place is just sadly, and blandly mediocre. $13 gets you a slice of quiche and a cheese puff. I've never encountered chunks of carrots inside of a quiche Lorraine before, but would not have minded so much if the pastry or bacon was anything other then utterly forgettable. (And reheated in the microwave, to boot.) Go upstairs, for the same price you'll find a much tastier Indian buffet.

    I come here for two things: egg salad sandwich and macaroons. It's the only place in the area with good macaroons. All the other places I found are all the way in Downtown. Here's the one downfall I've encountered: the service sucks and the workers are mean and rude. The cashier always glares at me while I'm ordering and it takes them forever to give me my to go order when I clearly see my food right there. One time the restroom had "currently cleaning. come back shortly" sign, but a worker told me it's fine to go in. A few minutes later, the same worker yelled at my sister for going in because there was a sign that said not to go in. The food is definitely a 5, though.

    I love Euro Pane. It's delicious and across the street from the Academy. What more can you ask for? I'll admit not everything here is amazing, but most things are at least good. Of the sandwiches, I've tried the tuna (good/fine), the open-faced egg salad (also good), and the meatloaf. I know everyone goes wild for this open faced egg salad, and sure why not it looks cool and tastes good and is chic, but seriously this meatloaf sandwich has it going on. It is, to this day, my favorite sandwich. In the world. (As a disclaimer I'll admit I love meatloaf more than the average person.) For the baked goods, the macarons here are apparently popular, but they're not that great. They're probably the best ones you can get in the Pasadena area (I am tired of people telling me that Lette is good) but the selection is pretty limited. They're not very memorable. Macarons in America are pretty bad, but Euro Pane makes a decent effort for such a difficult cookie to make. Honestly my two favorite things here are the triple chocolate cookies and the lemon bars. I've had a lot of the other baked goods and the ones I've had are all pretty good, but not as memorable as the cookie or the lemon bars. The only thing I thought was a total waste of money was the individual apple pie. It looks beautiful but tastes mediocre.

    What a great bakery. Just wow. Adorable little space on Colorado near Old Town. Great coffee. Their pastries and desserts are of such high quality, and you will never be disappointed. I tried the berry muffin-- so dense with a deep burnt sugar flavor. The chocolate tart-- like a gourmet candy bar made love with a tub of chocolate frosting and lived in a homemade pie shell. Macaroons-- best eaten cold cause the filling gets mushy. Try the raspberry. They also have sandwiches and salads. A Pasadena institution?

    The BF lives within walking distance of this Euro Pane, which is a delightfully good AND bad thing. Good because this quaint bakery was Bookmarked on my list for a while and I got to visit three times within the span of two weeks. Bad because if I ever visited for a lengthy duration of time, I would probably be here frequently. I love this café not only because of its location, but also because of its friendly staff and wide variety of breakfast choices. You can get macarons for snacks, as well as an assortment of pastries, but there are also heartier options like breakfast sandwiches. Plus, they have good coffee here. My first visit with the BF was on a Sunday morning, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and a morning walk before church. Our second visit was during the week for an early breakfast before he had to go to work, and my last visit was solo before I started the drive back down to SD. When we came on that Sunday, there were people at the various tables--the café wasn't empty--but we enjoyed a quieter breakfast when we revisited Euro Pane during the week. Here's what we got during our visits. This has to be one of my favorite bakeries/cafés in the Pasadena area, and I'll always look forward to visiting if I'm ever in the area: "Chocolate Chip Scone": I'm not sure if this particular pastry was considered a scone or a croissant, but regardless of what it was called, it was chockfull of chocolate chips and sure to please any chocolate lover. This is the first pastry that I tried from Euro Pane. The bread itself could have been a bit more moist, but I overlooked some of the hard parts simply because it was studded with good-sized morsels of chocolate chips. This, paired with my Café Mocha, proved to be the ultimate chocolaty breakfast. Great indulgence if you want something sweet in the morning. "English Muffin Sandwich": The BF got this during my first visit to Euro Pane, and both of us were pleasantly surprised by how GOOD this sando was! It definitely looked appealing in the display case, which led the BF to order it. This breakfast sandwich featured a larger English muffin that was filled with feta cheese, spinach and a fried egg. But the best part was that this sandwich came with some sort of spicy yellow salsa for dipping; it was phenomenal and added the perfect hint of spiciness to the sandwich. The egg was cooked perfectly and complemented the spinach and feta to the tee. I enjoyed several bites of my BF's sandwich and wouldn't hesitate to order one myself next time. "Quiche": This spinach and goat cheese quiche was the perfect savory breakfast choice. I normally opt for something sweet for breakfast, but the quiche looked so mouthwatering that I didn't think twice before ordering it. The crust was perfectly tender and the quiche itself was a good size. I really enjoyed the savory blend of spinach (my favorite vegetable) and goat cheese, which was sufficiently melted and gooey. Great choice for either breakfast or lunch! The quiche came with a small, round morsel of brioche bread (I think it was brioche). The ball was really small and on the harder side, but it was a cute accompaniment. "Café Mocha": I ordered coffee on my first visit here and got my Café Mocha iced because it was warm outside, and it was delicious and refreshing. I enjoyed the chocolaty taste and would order this again. I'm sure the drink tastes good hot as well, but on this summery morning, the last thing I wanted was a hot drink. "Wrap": During our second breakfast trip to Euro Pane, the BF ordered this wrap featuring a whole wheat tortilla, eggs and feta. Another great savory choice. I think we both preferred the English muffin better, but this wrap was yummy. The eggs, combined with the melted feta, were definitely tasty and the wrap itself tasted fresh. Great choice if you're in the mood for something simple; this wrap provides the perfect no-fuss, no-frills breakfast option. "Croissant": On my solo trip to Euro Pane, I enjoyed one of their flaky croissants that was covered generously with cinnamon sugar. I had my sights set on trying one of these croissants just because they looked so puffy and fresh. I was pleased to discover that the bread was as light and flaky as I imagined it to be, and I enjoyed that sweet cinnamon sugar in every single bite. This is one of the cheaper pastries available, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to try it. "Coffee Cake": This was another one of the pastries that looked particularly appetizing, but I saved it for a future visit. I do love a good coffee cake, and this one looked super moist, tender and topped with a cinnamon-like coffee streusel on top. Definitely can't wait to try this one day!

    I was just happened to be in the area, with a quick yelp search, I found this place and wanted to try out a few items. . Got the salted caramel macaroon, the last one on display. At $1.85, it is reasonable price, it is quite big, soft and chewy but the flavor is just okay. I'm not a macaroon fan, just think they look so darn cute. . Ham & cheese baguette - I didn't like it much, bread was chewy and filling was just meh. It was only $5 something, but I would skip it. . Goat cheese mushroom quiche - delicious! The mushroom is flavorful, crust is crunchy, and it is huge. . Cocoa cookies: soft and chewy, the best out of all the items I got. I do like this pastry shop, but only come again if I am in the area. It is not super awesome for me to drive out of my way for it thou.

    Dear sweet all that is good and holy. I never thought I could find such deliciously delicate wonders outside of New York City. We had the vegetarian quiche a tomato and feta sandwich and a crogue monsieur on brioche. Mann oh man. The crogue reminds me of the first time I kissed my beautiful fiancé. It could remind you of some other firsts too wink wink.

    Craving macarons again - got the following : Raspberry, Hazelnut and Pistachio. The raspberry and hazelnut tasted great. Rich in flavor and bursts of raspberry and hazelnut you can taste. The pistachio wasn't that great - tasted a lil funky and burnt. The macarons are pretty big. Four quarters will cover one macaron, yay! Each one was worth between 3-4 bites. The hazelnut was the biggest of the 3 and the raspberry was the smallest. The shell was a bit chewy, but still pretty good. It didn't break right away and so I'm happy. Paired with an Iced Berry Tea - rounds out the sweetness nicely since the macarons were semi-sweet. CONS: **No wifi - for reals???? -_- **They didn't have rose macarons **Felt rushed by the girl at the counter when getting my macarons. Just be patient dammit - this is my firat time here. Had a scowl on her face - even though I was there at 410pm and the shop doesn't even close until 530pm. Would I come back - maybeeee.....

    Disclaimer: this review is not for Euro Pane's baked desserts or macarons - I'm sure they're delicious! I will never understand why healthier options are more expensive. I ordered the oatmeal with fruit compote and flax seeds (it was about $7) and got a small cup of oats with a side of golden raisins and brown sugar. The oatmeal itself had a nice, creamy consistency but I couldn't taste the compote at all. It was good, but for $7 I would expect a dusting of gold flakes or something of that caliber.

    I come here for the macarons and quiche. Never disappoints! Great for breakfast, brunch, sandwiches...it's all good. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but walking after a meal is always a good idea.

    This cosy unassuming bakery off Colorado may be easy to miss but their egg salad is undeniable. I came with a mean hankering for an egg salad sandwich and I left VERY pleased. I think it's the fresh ingredients they use that make it really stand out. The bread is especially good having a nice crunch to it but still soft and not at all dry in the middle. The egg salad is well balanced too tasting refreshing and inviting while NOT overly rich, fatty and "mayoey" (that's a word right?) like most other egg salads I've had in the past. I also tried their sea salt caramel macaroons and Arnold Palmer and both were good as well. I'm definitely curious to try their bakery side next time around as everything looked fresh as well. P.s. The limited parking and hours makes this more of a breakfast/lunch spot if you're planning a trip. Cheers!

    Europane sounds like a word that Drake would use in one of his songs.... But regardless, this place is known for their egg salad sandwich (open faced). The eggs are medium boiled (not soft, not hard yolks) and creates a nice creamy consistency. Pretty good. I really liked their "bahn mi" sandwich that they had. Nice, cozy spot for coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. I can imagine the Drake lyrics now... gotta get my Europane running through my mind like I got a pain for some egg salad sandwich Eat it from 0 to 100 real quick, real quick

    I remember coming here in high school with friends just to get their open faced egg salad sandwich, but it's been awhile since I've visited. Stopped by here on the way to an event and this restaurant looks exactly the same from a few years ago. I ordered the open faced egg salad sandwich with lemonade and a few macarons for around $17. The lemonade has a hint of ginger in it, and was sour and sweet, which was refreshing.For the macarons, I got passionfruit, hazelnut, and pistachio.. These macarons are chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and it is filled with a light cream inside. Although I am very picky on macarons, I thought these were decent; my favorite was the passionfruit. When the egg sandwich came, I was pleasantly surprised as the presentation looks even better than before. The egg salad sandwich had so many eggs, as well as greens, tomatoes, and the rosemary currant bread to go along with the egg salad. After my first bite, I had a taste of the past, and it was absolutely delicious. The tomato flavor was perfect with the eggs, and with the rosemary and greens, it was a great combination. Makes me wonder why I haven't been here in so long. After starting on the second half of the sandwich, I became very full as it does get heavy. After sitting and reminiscing for awhile, I finally finished my sandwich, and went along my way. I must stop by here more often!

    Came here on a Sunday for some morning pastries for the familia...bought some scones and croissants all which were relatively inexpensive ($2.35 a scone? nice!)...have to say scones were amazing and croissants were buttery and flaky. Will no doubt be back...would love to try the Maccaroons at some point but well worth the visit !

    This was my first time trying out the Euro pane and I liked it! :). My husband and I tried egg salad/chicken salad/berry croissant with regular ice tea and decaf ice berry tea. Other than berry tea, everything tasted great! We will be for sure ti come back! Oh staff was friendly too

    When it comes to small bakeries, European specialties, this as good as they come. I can't say enough good things about this delightful little eatery/ bakery in the heart of Pasadena. I am sure there is a list out there when this gem is listed as best bakery in Pasadena and surroundings. My friends had brought me breads in the past which were good, but it's even better now! The quiche Lorraine is one of the Best I have had. The mushroom quiche is mouthwatering. They had this pear walnut cake which is a perfect balance of sweet, bread, cake, mix of sorts- epicurean heaven. The Olive bread was excellent, and is a must-take-home for later. The little rosemary dinner rolls burst little wake up molecules in your taste buds, inviting you to more. Yes, maybe with some goat cheese and wine. I also brought home a toast almond bread that tastes like a bear claw minus the fat! The young (super handsome) man who helped me was so polite, professional and nice! It seemed everyone was nice, as I watched others being helped or served. And the ambiance, what can I say, so quaint with art displayed on the walls, the furniture could be right out of a french country chic to modern crisp. I so hope they open a store in Burbank- but till then I shall visit them often! You too should try to take a trip to Pasadena and try this place. Take stuff home! You will thank me later!

    Quick Tips!!! 1. There are two locations for Euro Pane, they are both located on Colorado Blvd. so there is a little confusion. The other location is near Paseo Colorado, not to be confused with this one, which sits near Lake Ave. 2. The macarons are a fantastic deal at $1.85 each since they are HUGE and filled generously with creamy, good filling. 3. The chocolate brownie with walnuts is also a great pick because of its smooth consistency. However, the brownie is more like a fudge than a cake. 4. They have excellent sandwiches and salads, but the last time that I ordered a salad, they were pre-made so that you can't ask them to take off things that you don't like. There are two locations for Euro Pane, however I find this location to be much easier to access due to the street parking. If you can't find street parking, you can also park behind Euro Pane in their dedicated parking lot that is on Mentor Ave. It lies directly behind Euro Pane, but is on a large ramp, which will require you to take the stairs to get down to the main floor. This little bakery does fill up with a lot of people during their lunch rush, but I found that heading in around 11:45 AM always guarantees fast service. Every time I've been in this location, the service has been friendly and the staff is always willing to give me a few suggestions on what is good to try. Mainly, I come here for their macarons since they are so well-priced and a good value comparatively to other bakeries across southern California. Most bakeries will offer macaron's the size of a half dollar or so and no bigger, but at Europane they are almost twice as big and filled with cream. At $1.85 there is no better deal in terms of taste or size for macarons in socal. My girlfriend is a fanatic when it comes to fudge-like brownies. When SweetXO changed their recipe for brownies, my girlfriend was really upset. However, after spying one in a display case, I bought her one just so she could try them out. She fell in love with them instantly. I'm not sure if they have more than one type of brownie, but we got the ones with walnuts and we were impressed how the walnuts were still crunchy despite sitting in the moist brownie. Lastly, I have tried their salads here and have seen how great their sandwiches look. For the salads, I settled on a salad that sounded like a souped up greek salad. However, I'm not a fan of feta cheese. When I asked that they hold the feta, they told me that they premade their salads. I'm not sure if this still holds true, but when I had my salad I was disappointed that I couldn't take stuff off that I didn't like. This is a wonderful bakery, and I hope you have a chance to visit and try their delicious macarons!

    Came in for lunch and had the ham and cheese sandwich on sourdough bread... There was a small crowd but after I ordered a little rush came in... Luckily I was able to grab a table before they all filled up. Before my sandwich came I out I had a cup of hot chocolate and it was pretty good! My sandwich was huge! Easily a two person meal... Or maybe I just wasn't that hungry but either way it was good... The macaroons are what I really enjoyed... For a buck and some change you really get a good deal with a pretty big macaroon.. I got one of each and they threw in an extra. The coconut one and the sea salt caramel one so far are my favorite. Though I do have about 8 more to try out... Will update once o eat them all hahah... Will be back

    Visits: 2 Rating: 4* Service: Good Items: Blueberry Brioche; Caramel Kouign Amann; Macaroons; Double Chocolate Cookie; Puff Pastry Fruit Tart; Raisin Carrot Cake; Sourdough (bread) ¤ Blueberry Brioche (3.5*). This Brioche is flatter than what I'm use to. Tried it because it looked good & it looked different. The creamy center was custardy delicious. Not too sweet. The texture is light in some areas & slightly dense in others. So not a uniform feel throughout, which is ok. It's not as good the next day (texturally). Next time I will toast it or microwave for a couple seconds. ¤ Caramel Kouign Amann (3.5*). Heavy, dense & thick. Much more than any Kouign Amann I've had & I've had them from NorCal to SoCal to NY. There's a place in SF that's had the crown for years & highly doubt anyone will be able to take it away from them. It's good here. The caramel was great with just the right sweetness & amount. The texture however was too much. It's flaky & crispy outside but there's just too many layers. It makes it heavy & dense. Kind of almost overwhelming in a way but it's still good enough to fix a craving. ¤ Macaroons (5*). Love them here. Consistent texture with every flavor. Normally it's a roll of the dice to see which flavor will have the wanted chewiness that makes for a great macaroon. They all do here & on both trips I had on different days. Favorite flavors were Strawberry, Hazelnut & Pistachio. But liked the others as well. Not overly sweet, just right. Slight crunch to the shell with a moist chewy center (just talking about the shell here). Great job! Mmm. ¤ Double Chocolate Cookie (4*). Super chocolatey goodness. So gooey chewy chocolatey that wifey went into a chocolate seizure. The good kind. She loves this chocolate cookie. I'm not a chocolate cookie fan & I've had better. But, this ranks one of the top 3 of all time so far. It comes down to the chewiness. Oh yeah. ¤ Puff Pastry Fruit Tart (4.5*). Flaky & custardy. Delicious fruity puff pastry. Fruit tart fans rejoice. This is some good fruit tart. ¤ Raisin Carrot Cake (3.5*). Carrot Cake w/Raisins? Yes please. Light, almost fluffy. Moist & flavorful. Love the chewy exterior. Wish there was more of it. But overall a good carrot cake. ¤ Sourdough (4*), bread. Mmm. Soft & airy. Great sourdough taste. The chewy fresh bread exterior is awesome. While slicing into the bread the first time, it released a great fresh sourdough bread smell that made my stomach growl. Hahaa. Slathered roasted garlic & sprayed some I can't believe it's not butter, sprinkled some parsley & parmesan cheese then toast. Yum yum. Good bread, even as is.

    Delicious sandwiches for a reasonable price! I tried the egg salad sandwich since everyone on Yelp was raving about it. At first glance, I thought, "Did I seriously pay almost $9 for this little thing?" But was I was very satisfied when I finished. I'm really glad the sandwich was open-faced because an extra 2 slices of bread really would've been too much. However, I did feel the sandwich was a bit heavy for the amount of egg on it. My friend had the salmon sandwich. I had a bite and I immediately regretted my decision to get the egg salad sandwich. Next time I come here, I will definitely be getting that sandwich! Also can't wait to try some pastries next time.

    I always want to like this place. This is my fourth time here. But my first review. But the issues are consistent: 1. Prices please. Would it be too much to ask you to print, write, record and play back a menu with price listings?!! It may help with improving the quality of #2. 2. Customer Service. Much to be desired here. Of course, I want to know the prices of things. So should a guest ask, don't look so put off please. As if I'm inconveniencing you. Perhaps if you put prices on things, you'd have more free time....to think about other ways to be angry. Overall, customer service here is lax. One gentleman did attempt to compensate. Maybe they should pull the younger girl and use her as a restroom concierge. 3. Which brings me to three. Wait, how do I get to the bathroom again???!!! Though I will give it a point for cleanliness, the three lefts into the parking structure and through the back?.... Way too mysterious for my liking. I don't imagine there's much they could do about it other than change location so I'll just say that I appreciate that there is a bathroom. 4. The food. Just ok to me. The coffee was great though! Note to Euro Pane...food almost always tastes a little better with great customer service. 5. Cleanliness. Kinda iffy but the young man was working as hard as he could to keep the tables clean. Good for him. Good for Euro Pane. Give that gent a raise. But in spite of my gripes and humble opinion, the place is always busy. At least it was all 4 times I've been there. I can only imagine that they may be missing another captives audience with these slight flaws...

    I'm sitting here eating a mediocre going stale chocolate croissant. After ordering from the cashier who was on a personal call and was really bothered when I asked her what the total was. She had to pause from her personal call to quickly tell me the total, and then I double checked since she said it so fast, and god forbid I interrupted her personal call again. In all these years, they've been too lazy to put small price signs up for the baked goods. The place is a filthy mess. Food crumbs and lettuce scraps all over the floor. Crumbs and smears on the tables. The original location always had horrible service. This second location has been slightly better. But I've just always hated the sloppiness/carelessness of both. Some of the pastries are still good. Too bad about everything else.

    Macaroon review only. 1.85 each. Across the street from Paseo in Pasadena. Cute bakery, seatings inside and out. Came here because their macaroons are HUGE here, bigger than most places. Only flavors left were lemon and strawberry macaroons. Lemon-flavorless, no hint of lemon what so ever. I was so sad. Strawberry-now that one carry the flavor, I was able to taste it from begining to the end. So glad I ordered two of each, sad about the lemon, I wanted it to be good. =( Parking outside, must pay the meter folks!

    Decided to stop in a for a quick sandwich for lunch after visiting the gardens. Yelpers had rated this place rather high for local sandwiches in the area. Parking on the street is very limited, however there is a parking lot up top out back that you can park in while visiting the restaurant. As you walk into the resturant, the first thing you notice is how small the place is. The line queue is very small and does not provide adequate space for people waiting, so people pile up all over the place which crowds the diners who have already got their food. Another thing I noticed is how inefficient the ordering system is, you order your food while in line and then pay when you get up front. There is no ticket explaining what you ordered to the cashier, so you have to repeat everything. Not only is this a huge hassle, but it takes forever to process the point of sale. This review is based solely on the sandwich, I did not try any of their bakery treats, however they did have a lot of baked goods. They looked very delicious, but I just wasn't in the mood for sweets at the time. I ordered the full Turkey sandwich on rosemary currant ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ) The bread tasted alright, but the sandwich lacked a lot of quality. First off, this is a bread place, the bread should be the highlight of the sandwich. They cut off a little skinny piece of bread that didn't really stand out in front of the overwhelming tomato flavour. This was basically a tomato sandwich with some bread and turkey. The turkey was moist and tasted okay, but it was nothing special. Overall the sandwich was a huge let down. This does not stack up to other bread places I've been, I must say that Panera bread is even better.

    Dear visitors that are not from pasadena: please be smart about parking. The parking enforcement people here on on fleek and will get you within a 3 minute time frame. Dont be a doing doing like me. ): BUT with that said this place is aweeeeesome! A family owned place and they are super friendly. Yes the macarons are truly amazing. Thats the reason why I came. They are a very good price at $1.85 and they are very large in size. About your palm. Here is the arrange of flavors I got to try: BlackBerry: wasnt on display but I asked. To my luck, they were just making it and I got 3 of em fresh and wow the best one here!! Coconut: good but I can taste the butter so ill pass next time. Salted caramel: very good but a tad sweet Mocha: very strong for me haha but still a chocolate lovers dream. Pistachio: very good second favorite with blackberry ! These macarons are great in texture and very chewy which I love! Great place to stop by in pasadena (:

    looks can be deceiving.... like the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. i got a full egg sandwich and when it arrived, i thought to myself, wtf... i spent 8 bucks for this?!? well, take a bite and finish the whole thing and that's a different story. the eggs, fill up your stomach and the bread adds a nice touch to it. if you're a fan of egg sandwiches, make sure you come by and try it here. so yeah, get an egg sandwich on Rosemary Currant bread. and you'll thank me later. also, the macaroons are bigger here than any other places ive been too. granted, it could use a little work on the flavor... i guess you really can't win them all. =/

    What a find!! Without yelp I would have never walked in this tiny place. From the outside you would never know this place would have such good food!! We came in for lunch on a Sunday and sadly a lot of their stuff had already sold out. We tried the egg salad sandwich and the beets and goat cheese tart. To my huge surprise the tart was SO GOOD. If you like beets you will love it. I don't even like goat cheese but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The egg salad sandwich is great. I don't know if it's AMAZING but it's an egg salad and I'm not an egg salad expert so I can't judge. I'm not usually a macaron fan but I tried some of the samples they had at the counter and just could not resist!! The passion fruit one was delicious and we ended up buying a bunch of different flavors to take home. We also brought some pastry home but honestly we probably shouldn't have waited to eat them later because they were a little on the dry side by the time we had them. I can't wait to go back on a different day to see if I can get some of the famous quiches!! Although I might have to get that beets tart again because it was just so yummy.

    I only tried the macaroons; I didn't get anything else. I liked that the macaroons were larger than normal in size. It made for splitting them better. I ordered hazelnut and blueberry. The flavor of the blueberry one was not very strong. Maybe because it was bigger they didn't up the flavor. I liked the hazelnut one. It had a good amount of flavor. I was in and out quickly with my macaroons. The workers were friendly overall.

    This is the original location. There is a newer much larger and more modern Euro Cafe located a few blocks down on the same street. We stopped in to try the famous egg salad sandwich. When you order it, you are asked what type of bread you'd like for it to be served on and that choice threw me off a bit. I asked the cashier for his recommendation and he suggested olive bread. The olive bread was great. It was dense and had that great olive saltiness. I might be a bit adventurous next time and order a sweeter bread just to see how that goes. The pastries are unassuming but they are deliciously flaky. We had a blueberry cream cheese Danish and it was totally yums! I also ordered a raspberry muffin to go and I was delighted by the texture of it as well.

  • Alice Y.

    Came here three days in a row one week... Don't judge me! Black coffee was cheap (under $2) and so were the pastries (bought 4 for about $6). Macarons were amazingly cheap for the size; $1.85 each before tax, although I bought those for a friend and not for myself. I'll probably be back for macarons, quiche, and the English muffin. One thing that sort of bothers me with the pastry display is that there is no door for it... 2 out of 3 times I was there, I saw a fly hovering over the tantalizing looking pastries. Sorry, I have this strange double standard for eateries in America even though I've had plenty of deliciously dirty street food in my time. The pastries I tried: - Blueberry cream cheese danish. Supposedly one of the best selling pastries, but it tasted standard to me. - Salted macadamia nut tartlet. I liked how the filling was BURSTING with nuts, but it was not sweet enough and not salted enough for me. I did, however, yell "WOW!" when I bit into that buttery, thick and crumbly crust. My mom overheard, came to investigate, and stole a piece. - Guyere cheese puff. It was soft, big, and airy, so the texture was nice, but the cheese flavor was too subtle for me. I did taste the herbs, which was a pleasant touch. Another thing I didn't like, which might have been a fluke that day, was that the cheese puff was overbaked and slightly burnt on the outside; it left a bitter aftertaste. - Crackle chocolate cookie. Beautiful crackle top, but it surprisingly wasn't as crispy as it looked like it would have been. It was more soft and chewy like a brownie and full of chocolate chips!

    The baguette I purchased on 8/15 (for $3.25) was obviously left in the oven too long (it was blackened on the outside) but they sold it to me anyway. I would not normally think to check the condition of the bread before leaving the store but I guess it would be a good idea.

    quaint little place. Has assorted pastries, macarons and whatnot. The most raved about seemed to be the egg salad. I also had a chance to try the tuna melt and salted caramel macaron. Out of the three, I'd choose the egg salad. But the egg salad probably just won by default.

    I love Euro Pane Bakery! I visit Pasadena several times a year and this is one of my must visit food stops. The baked items are delectable and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing. This is not a place for the penny pinchers. Everything is fantastic and freshly made in house with only the highest quality of ingredients. So if you go here, plan to order lots and try it all. I recommend having their poached egg breakfast sandwich and grab a selection of the pastries to go. Their food is just so amazing, it will brighten your day.

    This may be sacrilegious but I am not a big fan of the egg salad sandwich. So shoot me. Who cares? ANYTHING you order here will be amazing. Today's yummy offering? Almond toast. Or almond bread.

  • Matthew T.

    Some prices because they don't list them: coffee $1.95, squash quiche $6.25, bear claw $2.65. This bakery seemed to be really popular with the locals especially on a lazy Saturday morning. What we ordered was good but wasn't all that exceptional. I'd recommend asking them to heat both the quiche and bear claw. The quiche itself was a big filling slice of egg, mushroom, and spinach, and the crust was crisp and flaky. The bear claw is something I'd pass on next time, basically a croissant with almonds on top. The most impressive looking dish was the egg salad sandwich and at least three people ordered that dish. Since we were in a hurry, I didn't get to check what my Yelp friends recommended and I'm willing to update my review once I try their open faced egg salad sandwich and macaroons. If you're in the area and need a quick bite before heading to the Huntington Library or your car is getting serviced at the Honda dealership, this is a nice cafe to get some coffee and some breakfast.

  • Lily T.

    Hmm, a little disappointed with the egg salad sandwich. It was good, but a little dry and I just imagined something better from all the raving reviews. The sundried tomato spread was a nice touch to the pile of eggs on top! I do like Europane for allowing me to explore my love for eggs in all sorts of ways. In one visit, I had a spinach quiche, a vegetable fritatta, and the egg salad sandwich. Out of the three, my favorite was actually the vegetable fritatta because it surprisingly had a lot of flavor to it. The quiche was good too because it had a nice crust. They also carry HUGE macarons, but didn't have anymore room to try any. I think I will try their other location down the same street. It seems bigger and nicer so I will give their egg salad sandwich another try.

    This update is just for the ENGLISH MUFFINS :) I'm herby declaring them the best in LA. Sure, they are about the size of my face and in some cases bigger isn't always better but every last square inch of these bad boys are fabulous! Perfect addition to any brekke or brunch and they remain fresh for days! Go for the egg salad, macaroons, blueberry danishes etc. leave with the English Muffins! Trust me.

    This place is okay. I stopped in and got a hot chocolate, bottle of San Pellegrino (too small!) and their very last canelé de Bordeaux (they just call it a "cannele"). I was excited about the cannele but unfortunately it was a disappointment. It was weird. Too plain with not much flavor at the top half, then much sweeter at the bottom half. A true canelé de Bordeaux has a rich custardy interior enclosed by a thin caramelized shell. This was nothing like that. It made me slightly sad. How awful that a dessert should make one sad. The service, although very brief, was so friendly that I would like to give this place another try. I might get the cannele again- because it's an artisanal product, I give it the leeway that it doesn't come out perfectly every time.

    It's been almost a year since I've moved away from Pasadena, & honestly I didn't miss it as much as I loved the town. Except for 1 gnawing ache, oooooh I missed europane so much. The few times I've revisited Pasadena, I'm here. There's 2 locations, but the original has my heart. Everything is great, from warm breakfast options, the variety of French-Esque pastries, cakes & macarons, the all too famous egg salad sandwich, & even the drinks! I find street parking easily on Colorado, maybe had issues twice in the 100s of times I've been here Today's purchase - Egg salad sandwich on sourdough. A must. Light, with baby greens & savory tomato spread. Open faced & gets messy - roast beef sandwich on rosemary current, enjoy that horseradish they sneak in there - plain crossaint, amazing! - English muffin, these are ginormous. Heat it up and scrape on some europane berry jam for a happy morning breakfast - cookies, got oatmeal raisin & choc chip walnut - a lemon tart, my favorite All that.. For me. Haha. I'm gona be pretty satisfied this lunch, dinner, & tomorrow for breakfast

    Mediocre coffee at best, food that is left out at room temperature before being served to you (health food laws ppl!), unless you are coming here for the macaroons spend that kind of moolah elsewhere. There are two EP locations a few blocks a part from one another-this one gives you more of a local while the other gives you more of a businessy/old town tourist vibe. The reason we periodically come here is because this location is convenient, being centrally located around our in-town errands and their macaroons. Their macaroons are priced about the same as anywhere else but monsterly bigger. Every flavor has been delightful, but our fave is salted caramel which pairs well w coffee. Speaking of coffee, do not let them fool you into thinking that they will serve you something exceptional. Observe EP long enough and realize they follow the Starbucks model of making drinks as if they are trained by the Starbucks corporation themselves! The only thing worse then drinking poorly constructed & low quality coffee at Starbucks is drinking coffee at an establishment trying to emulate Starbucks! Come on EP, you may have a reputation for delicious food but if you are going to serve coffee and charge quality prices, have love & respect for process of making a delicious cup. Please do not serve us terrible foam on our lattes and grounds at the bottom of the cup and turn around to charge us like we are drinking at Intelligentsia, Jones, Jamerson, Copa, or any of the other fantastic shops that surround you. You have the volume of customers, the location, the ambiance and therefore the resources to learn how to make a proper cup, its not ignorance rather just straight up arrogance that you don't take the time or put forth the effort. Sorry as this probably seems like we aren't being nice but its not nice to insult the intelligence of your customers while swindling out of their money. Last note on the food. We know its very "European" and thus somehow cool to leave foods out in the store's airy air temperature danger zone but as soon as we saw salmon just hanging out on the counter as if it were okay we lost our stomachs thinking of all the other food safety laws you may be violating where the customer cant see. So unless it is a macaroon, no thanks.

    Ive been wanting to try their macarons to see what the fuss is all about. I went in on a Sunday afternoon looking for a sweet treat. Presentation was lacking as they were displayed in plastic storage containers. There was a sign taped next to the display case listing the flavors. First impressions are everything and I was sadly disappointed. I took home a box of pistachio nut, blackberry, raspberry, sea salt caramel, hazlenut, and passion fruit macarons. Upon opening the box and picking up a raspberry macaron I noticed one side was completely cracked. Now I do remember one of the macarons slipping out of the guy's fingers and landing down with with a slight thud. I didn't think to check as I assumed someone courteous would have replaced it with one that was not cracked. Apparently, that was not the case and it was turned over so that it would not be noticed until it was too late. In regards to taste, I'll admit their macarons are delicious. The texture and flavor is on par. They were also larger than most. Four stars for taste minus one for knowingly placing a cracked macaron in the box. I wasnt pleased with the customer service and the presentation. I unknowingly purchased a cracked macaron and it shows that customers are not valued at this establishment. Unfortunately, those are reasons enough for me to not return.

    THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB!!!! I love ALL their pastries, especially the kouign amann!!! I get it EVERY time I go!!! It's super flaky and there is an ooey gooey salted caramel surprise in the middle!!! I am a person that loves to eat with my hands and pick apart things, so their kouign amann was PERFECT. As for their croissants, they are definitely one of the best I've very had, (not the BEST but very good). I'm not really a fan of eggs OR mayonnaise, so I just got the sandwich with extra sundries tomato spread, which I thought was still good on its own. I have yet to try the famous lemon bar, but I definitely will!!!! Oh and DONT FORGET ABOUT THEIR WONDERFUL AND GIGANTIC MACARONS!!!

    The spinach quiche was delicious and my husband's Croque Monsieur was so-so. Great coffee and a nice setting. A little weird to have to use their restroom by going out into the parking garage and around to an open door where there was fruit and other food in the open by the door. I'd go back to try some of their other delicious looking food.

    What a gem! Love this food, the energy and the price is right! We had A macadamia nut chicken crusted sandwich on olive bread. Had a pastry and two coffees for under $20 bucks. We'll definitely be back! Parking was super easy.

    Suggested to me by a lovely receptionist, I must say I'm glad I asked if there was a good sandwich shop nearby. I got their Smoked salmon sandwich on Rosemary Current bread. They have some delicious looking pastries as well and they have espresso. This bakery is clean and comfortable and has lots of natural light

  • Ashley Q.

    My experience was a total miss for me, sorry. Here is why: * SANDWICHES: Egg Salad and Smoked Salmon. We are not a fan of open faces sandwiches (sorry), and I had shells in my eggs. Flavoring was not that great, but then again... We are not fans of egg salad. That was our mistake. The salmon in the other sandwich was very smokey (yum!) and delicious. * DRINKS: Berry Iced Tea and Strawberry Melon Juice. The tea was way too bitter. Flavoring was off. Maybe it was a bad batch??? Strawberry melon juice was not fresh, and our server took it out of their fridge. Probably was sitting there overnight... For a few nights. * DESSERT: Raspberry and Hazelnut Macaroon. The raspberry macaroon had no flavor to it. It was just artificial coloring. The hazelnut had a lovely first-bite taste, but it was way too creamy for a macaroon. Service was okay. Ambiance is nice. I like the artwork on the walls. Place was clean-ish. They don't wipe the tables for you. If I were to come here again, I would try their baked goods/pastries. Everyone seemed to enjoy them. However, if I had a choice, I would not come here again, sorry.

    This is my favorite bakery / coffee house in pas. Must try items: 1. English muffin with Jam and butter 2. Kouign amann with caramel center 3. Macarons 4. Coffee - so strong. I go to this original location bc it's so close to my office but there's also the new location in old town.

    Extensive selection of pastries, breads, deep dish quiche and more. I enjoyed a rhubarb coffee cake and the famous egg salad sandwich. Both excellent. The outdoor tables are perfect for dining with doggie, especially since the neighborhood is a delight to walk. Prices are hefty but quality is first rate. If i lived local i would start a long relationship.

  • Robin W.

    Been going here consistently for the last year - just paid a visit yesterday and have to concur with the other reviewers. The flies in the bakery case need to go!!! I was tempted to get an almond croissant, but when I saw a fly land on it, I immediately squashed the idea and picked macarons instead (at least those are in a closed display case). Either they need a good fly trap or a door for the case. Every time I go, there is a huge fly problem. I like their food, but it is super unsanitary.

  • Calvin F.

    I was quite pleased with the lunch fare. Sometimes bakeries try to extend their reach into other areas and fail. This was not the case here. Tuna Melt-Delicious. The sourdough bread was toasted perfect with the melted gruyere cheese. The tuna was not overwhelmed with mayonnaise. It had green capers added for a wonderful flavor. Egg Salad Sandwich-Ok. I had several bites of the Egg Salad Sandwich, and just didn't know what all the hoopla was about. Chocolate Cake-Heavenly. The cake was moist , lite and not over sweetened. The frosting had a nice creamy taste. Service-Great! The staff was very cordial. Parking- Very Limited Street Parking.

    Great macaroons here! They are larger than the average macaroons too! Usually get a box of them to take home. Love the salted caramel and pistachio flavors! Texture is nice and chewy. Very small shop on Colorado. They have a few table inside and outside if you want to eat there.

    The friendly, eager-to-please staff and slight hum of the refrigeration units gives this Europane a nice neighborhood feel for me and it's a great spot to grab to-go weekday coffee, or pause on a weekend at a sidewalk table with a mug and toasted, buttered English muffin to watch patrons parallel park their convertibles.

    I'm a coffee snob (horrible, I know) and this place always have good coffee. No matter who is making it, they always get it right. The open face egg salad sandwich is my favorite, as well as the pastries. Good food and seriously inexpensive. What else could a girl wish for? You won't be disappointed.

  • Mimi D.

    Sometimes come here for some coffee since it's a nearby alternative to the SB (and slightly cheaper).. Though their coffee lacks the consistency you get from a SB--hit or miss here. Oh well, at least it's a decent place to sit n ppl watch. Though it's not an ideal place to get any work done cause there's no wifi and it can get pretty noisy during brunch times. Their veggie quiche, butternut squash soup were all good but their open faced egg salad on rosemary bread was the only memorable item we tasted. The macaroons seemed quite popular too but not for me since I tend to prefer savory indulgences :)

    I came here for lunch as it was highly recommended by PCC students in my French class and even my Parisian professor. I ordered a blueberry cheese danish and the soft boiled egg salad sandwich on sourdough, their most popular item. I started with the Danish, and though I felt the pastry was dry and almost stale, I gave them the benefit of the doubt knowing it was 2pm and they had been baked hours ago. Next came the open faced sandwich. I took the first bite-runny, watery egg mixture on sun dried tomato paste that tasted of anchovies, with wilted lettuce leaves in between. Needles to say that was the last bite I took. I really, really wanted to like this place. I ignored the sloppy and dirty interior to give the food a try and I was highly disappointed with the quality of the pastry and the unappetizing sandwich. $11 down the drain! One star because they do bake their own bread for the sandwiches, I applaud their attempt.

  • Bernard V.

    One of the best bakeries in Pasadena. 950 Colorado Blvd is the smaller and simpeler of the two locations in Pasadena. Their breads, croissants, chocolate croissants, brioches, quiches etcetera are all very good of an almost real French quality ... the size however tells you that you are in the States (huge). Decent teas, coffees, espresso's and cappuccino's. Service is friendly ... on weekend it gets really busy and lines can be long. Ample parking possibilities on the street in from of the bakery on normal weekdays and early on the weekends.

That is EXACTLY how big my eyes got after taking one bite. It seriously blew my mind how good this macaron is. I was almost tempted to buy some more! Seriously. Life changing!! I also got the tuna melt sandwich. I can go for another one! Parking: park on the street or park in a structure. Service: not bad. Will I be back? Hell yeah! There is more food that I want to try. And those damn macaroons! I gotta get some more!

    The original. This place, which in 2008 caused me to redefine my entire love-hate relationship with bread... into a slow surrender where I realized, "I give in. Bread, I still think you are bad, but this bakery presents--no, it bakes, without words, your history and your significance and your undeniable role in people's daily meals in a way that is too rich and too meaningful to overcome. So I will not kick you out of my life because I think you are a part of me. I think you are a part of all of us." Egg salad, kouign amann, macaron, french toast, rosemary currant bread, goat cheese sandwich, quiche, frittata, english muffin, ham and cheese baguette, pain au chocolat, cafe mocha with real chocolate at the bottom... if Europane makes anything, chances are it makes it better than anywhere else in the states (with very few exceptions, e.g., baguette, croissant, and pie). A torrid love.

    This place has horrible customer service!! The people helping you behind the counter seem to always have their minds somewhere else other than helping the customer. I have had this issue with ALL of their employees over the years. This morning I go to get a berry tart slice and an egg and feta cheese wrap. This lady does not ask if I want my wrap warmed up so I take it home cold (I normally don't care either way but at least ask!). Then when I pay, she gives me the receipt to sign and immediately walks away without saying THANK YOU or waiting to take the receipt back. No one behind the counter after this. Very strange and unprofessional behavior. I have frequented this location for 5 years and they have always acted like I've never been there before. There is another Europane location in town now with exceptional and attentive service with better selection so I will go there from now on. I've had enough now of the apathetic people that work here. If you don't want to put a smile on your face and help your customers who pay for your paycheck, then don't show up to work!

    Finally got to try the egg salad sandwich and I am so glad I did. // SERVICE // The waitresses were very sweet and cheerful. Order at the counter and they call your number when it is ready // FOOD // There is an assortment of salads, sandwiches, drinks (coffees/teas) and baked goodies. + Open Faced Egg Salad Sandwich: I chose to have it on the rosemary currant which was soft and fragrant. The eggs are cooked over easy so the yolks are soft and runny which really added to the sandwich. There is a tomato spread on the bread and the eggs are laid on a bed of fresh arugula. The sandwich seems so simple, but is so tasty!

  • Lora C.

    This place has amazing fresh baked breads. The breads have a nice bite texture to it! My favorite is currant and rosemary bread-divine! They also have amazing macarons that have great fillings. The sea salt caramel is perfect. It isn't your typical gooey caramel but a buttercream base which makes it not cloyingly sweet. The macarons had a good moist chewy texture with a pronounced almond flavor. I also have to mention their soft boiled egg sandwich (open faced). Divine! The only downside to this place? Parking is limited during busy hours.

  • Vince L.

    I still enjoy eating at Euro Pane, but I would stick with their regular sandwiches. I tried their Croque Monsieur on special today and would advise against trying it. It is not good at all. What they served today was basically a cold ham sandwich (using the end piece of a bread loaf) with some melted cheese on top. There was some cold shredded cheese next to the ham. The bread was hard and dry.

    (4)

  • Nat E.

    The person who took my order seemed emotionless. It was uninviting and made me feel really uncomfortable while ordering because they wouldn't stop staring at me. I would go back again to try more of their pastries though. Especially the pumpkin pie. The olive bread literally has olives. It was quite delicious even to someone who is not crazy about olives.

  • Natalie K.

    The girl at the counter really pissed me off with her sarcasm but I love the Egg Salad sandwich so much that I still have to give them 4 stars. I am on a strict diet so I didn't get a chance to try their macarons but they look really appetizing. I will have to come back for those. Let's go back to the sandwich. The opened face egg salad sandwich is awesome for so many reasons. They put a lot of perfectly cooked eggs (I'm guessing there's at least 6 eggs in each sandwich) with lettuce, tomato pesto and chives. The whole thing goes on a perfectly toasted bread of your choice. I chose multi grain and it was thin, crispy, and delicious. What really makes the sandwich amazing is the tomato pesto, giving it a great flavor, and the way that they cook their eggs. The eggs were not hardboiled but cooked to a soft, yet not runny, consistency. My friends had the meatloaf sandwich and the turkey sandwich. The meatloaf sandwich looked amazing and according to my lucky friend enjoy it, the taste matches the appearance. The meatloaf was juicy and flavorful. Unfortunately my other friend did not like her turkey sandwich. They use pulled turkey meat off a real roasted turkey but the meat was too dry. So the service is less than average but I would come back again for the egg sandwich. I also want to try the blueberry brioche that everyone is raving about but you have to go pretty early. They run out of it quickly. We got there right around noon and it was already all gone for the day.

    Staff at the historic Pasadena Library around the corner recommended we grab a delicious and quick lunch here. It was that and more.

    It's good! Came here on a lark at around 2 PM for a late lunch, ended up having a coffee and a pastry too. I've had better coffee, but I've also had much worse. The pastry, a chocolate tart, was actually pretty fantastic. And the egg salad sandwich? Wow. Almost as good as mine, but I never have that fresh of bread on hand though. It's a nice place too, could use a few more seats but it's Pasadena, larger real estate is tough to come by. Definitely will go back for the sandwiches and pastries, those macaroons look mighty fine too...and now I'm hungry.

  • Sidney Z.

    Good place to get a relatively quick and fresh/healthy lunch or breakfast. I always get the turkey sandwich since its actual roasted turkey rather than questionable sliced deli turkey that has been processed. I usually get a cup of soup too - they have two soups available each day. Usually one vegetarian and one with meat. I wish they had a half sandwich and cup of soup combination since its too much for one person so I try to split it with my mom when we go together. Tasty macaroons and love there Arnold Palmer! The berry ice tea is realllllly potent on its one but with half lemonade its a great mix. People seem really into the lemonade and other fruity drinks there. My mom and brother love the pastries and have ordered BLTs and Italian sandwiches. Seems like a good place to get an egg dish as well - I always see a lot of other people with them. Quirky and friendly staff! Parking is sometimes hard. Usually you can score a meter right out front (but only an hour or hour and a half max so be careful!) or the surrounding streets. If you're desperate, you can park in the underground paseo structure across the street.

    I really wanted to go to Urth Caffe but the line was horrendous so I came to Euro Pane on the recommendation of a friend. I wish I had just waited in line at Urth. This was one of the worst lunches I've ever had. I paid $8.50 for a bland tuna sandwich (seriously - no flavor. I felt like I was eating chunks of tuna straight out of a can). The sandwich came with a side of ..... wait for it .... four grapes. That's right. FOUR grapes. In a tiny plastic sauce cup that actually had room for more grapes, which means the quantity of 4 was intentional. I felt like a character in Oliver Twist. "Could I have more grapes, please?" The sourdough was good but I'm sorry if you're going to charge $8.50 for a sandwich that has no sides but FOUR MEASLY GRAPES, this better be one hell of a sandwich. This was not. I lost my appetite halfway through my sandwich. That's never good. I'm never coming back, not even to try the "famous" egg salad they're known for.

    **** Quiche is so good here **** Sumi Chang's Euro Pane Bakery located in Colorado There is two location, one in own town which is much bigger and nicer interior. This one is the original location which is smaller and more pack. Like Sweet & Savory is own by Asian (Chinese or Taiwanese) bakery chef, they make bakery as closed as what the European quality and style. ENVIRONMENT] 4/5 Simple interior with some artwork hanging in the wall, a bit small but do got a restroom. There is some tablet outside as well. So there is some room to dine here. [FOOD] 4.5/5 MIxed Vegetable Quiche yelp.com/biz_photos/euro… Despite is more idea for breakfast, they microwave a bit to heat up, it still taste darn good. Full chucks of mix veggies and the egg and the side crust is done perfectly. Come with a free bread is soft. Salted Caramel Macarons yelp.com/biz_photos/euro… First time I tried Maracons so got the one that is customer favorite. The first couple bite was very good experience, great texture and the flavor salted and caramel is yummy but about half way is just to overwhelming with sugars, too sweet for me, but I did manage to finish it.. I find out the reason why so sweet, because it lack sea salt to balance the sweet [SERVICE] 2.75/5 Service was the weakest of the 4 elements, the maracons did not come had to ask the waitress and has to verity with the cashier, and the bread did not come with any butter also need to ask for it. Also no folks or knives were given despite I order the Quiche. The cashier was friendly. [VALUE] 4/5 Price little bit high, but again this is busy district in Pasadena, quality is definite there, service need to improve, perhaps is a new staff that is inexperience. but overall is good value for what you get. MY 2 CENTS As someone who mostly eat Asian Bakery in SGV, this is good change. Despite higher price, you can the quality is there, would definite come back try different items. If you love Quiche, you definite need to come here.

    I don't know why I didn't eat here until after college! It was just 3 blocks away! Add this to my list of regrets in life. Egg Salad Sandwich on Rosemary Currant Bread, open-faced with sun-dried tomato spread, bed of arugula, and a garnish of chives, served with a few pineapple wedges - Now, it is very important to eat this sandwich correctly. I first had a bite of just the egg salad itself and it was a bit underwhelming, great texture but bland. BUT THEN, guess what I did?! I cut off a piece of the sandwich and took a bite of the bread, spread, arugula, and egg salad all at once. The flavors of the tomato spread + egg salad really make this sandwich. The stronger acidity of the tomato draws out and accentuates the creaminess and eggyness of the egg salad. Grossly beautiful example of food pairing...ugh. I'm a true believer now, EP. Self-serve utensils, napkins, and water dispenser on the counter.

    I went here for brunch with some friends a little before noon. Short line, and regardless, it moved pretty quick. You order, find a table, and they serve you. I wasn't quite hungry yet, so I ordered the yogurt & granola which also included dried cranberries. It was the perfect bowl to hold me over until my next meal. My friends ordered sandwiches and the quiche, and they all said it was delicious. Oh, and the arnold palmer is uniquely tasty. The 4 stars is really due to the macarons. YUM. Light, fluffy... and great flavors. They're also bigger than average. I got the hazelnut, coconut, and the passion fruit. I was really hoping to get the salted caramel, but they were out :(

    I love Europane since it was across the street in its smaller format for years. Opened by a pastry chef (sumi chang) who worked along side the famous Chef Nancy Silverton (La Brea Bakery, Corner Bakery, Pizza Mozzeria, etc.) - Chef Chang is a star when it comes to pastries, breads, confectionaire. She is a cute little lady too! The best pastry place outside of west LA hands down. Everything is good here! From the pastries to macarons, scones, croissants, open faced sandwiches, even the meatloaf! Chef Chang's puff pastry dough melts in your mouth if you are having it as a tart or anything else! Any tart is good here. Flaky, buttery and melt in your mouth goodness. Great lunch menu! Great for coffee and pastry in the morning, lunch and afternoon break! Great upgrade as well on the interiors since it moved across the street with plenty of seating. If you were a fan of the old location - you will be amazed to revisit the new Europane!

    French bakeries have a way with stealing my heart. Maybe it's the flaky buttery goodness of the pastries. Or the rich but fluffy quiche Lorraine. Something always lures me in. The bakery has a beautiful natural wood communal table and also offers plenty of outside seating. Usually, very busy by lunch time. Made uber popular by the open face egg salad sandwich featured on one of the Food Network shows. Everything is superb, but these are my favorites. Pear tarte tatin Pains chocolats Quiche Lorraine Super size macarons Salads and sandwiches are also solid choices. Don't forget your cafe au lait!

    The oft-reviewed egg salad sandwich is very good, if a bit egg-heavy to my taste. The tomato bruscheta spread is excellent with a piquant acidity that perfectly complements the rosemary currant toast under. My quiche lorraine was perfectly executed. Coffee is A+ and you get refills. Inside or outside gourmandizing, so bring the dog and give her or him the egg overage.

    Yummy yummy loved it! First and foremost I have to say if you are like me and have never tried macaroons STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND TRY ONE! So good, so so so good!!! I had a macaroon, and split 2 muffins with my mom, took a slice of quiche home, had a coffee, and a spiced apple cider and it was just a little over $20. Service was great, everything was yummy! The only thing I'd love more is if they listed the names of their tasty treats in front of them - I felt bad to keep asking the lady.

    Great work on something so simple and yet complicated. Yes, it is really that good here. The croissants are not France good, but close. Breads are equally done with similar details. The sandwiches they construct are well made and delicious. ... and I do have to admit, I have had one of the best Egg Salad Sandwiches here. Who would have thought, it is across the street from a mall too.

    First time, last time. Sorry Euro Pane! I tried the egg salad sandwich cause of all the raves-but none of you told me the egg was runny and undercooked!!!! (See my pictures) Nasty-in my opinion-although other people in my family LOVE runny eggs. The added bonus was the dime size egg shell that came in the sandwich. Yeah, I could have done without that crunchy bonus...(see pic of that too!) I also tried the chicken sandwich, which had soft white meat, and a lot of it-but it had very little mayo and almost no taste. Here's what was good-the squash soup! Tasty with a hint of curry flavor. It came after we were almost halfway done with the meal, but at least it was fresh! I also had the berry tea, which was super concentrated...almost like Jamaica without any sugar. Pucker pucker. Because this was my first time, I can't tell if this was a bad day or the norm. But I wasn't impressed.

    So 2 Euro Pane Bakeries on Colorado. This one is my preferred location because: - friendlier staff - super cozy location (indoor and outdoor seating) - they always have macarons! - free parking! 1 hour on the streets but no parking restrictions on Sundays My staple is usually the egg salad sandwich ($8) + one other sandwich to share because eating one entire egg salad sandwich is a bit much. I've tried the Tuna melt on sourdough ($8.50) and it's pretty tasty even though I normally hate all things cheese-related. Their macarons are a good deal because of its big size and reasonable price ($1.85 for each - they usually have 6-8 flavors available).

  • Vic C.

    I came to Euro Pane for the macaroons (after seeing the photos from fellow talented yelpers and reading the reviews about them) with my husband this past Sunday. We arrived around 1 pm or so and we both had a pretty small breakfast, so we decided to grab a small lunch. The place wasn't crowded, but there were people there. Since I read how great the egg salad sandwich ( yelp.com/biz_photos/euro… ) is from previous yelpers, I decided to order one and split it with my husband. Wow, this sandwich was pretty tiny (my 1st impression of it)! And for $8, I was really expecting something a little bit bigger. But anyways, the actual egg salad itself was quite delicious. It was just as flavorful and creamy as other yelpers have mentioned. I loved that there was plenty of egg in it and not an overkill of mayo. The eggs were nice and soft/ tender and the yolks were not rubbery but soft. But I think there seemed to be a lot of yolk, more than white and I prefer the white over the yolk in a boiled egg. Anyways, I ordered macaroons here as well and at a price of $1.85 a piece, they are well worth it. They are as big as the palm of your hand and delicious. But I think the consistency is a little off because some of the macaroons were chewy and some were lighter at 1st bite. I prefer the ones that are a bit lighter, but my husband enjoys that they are chewy. And yes since people are comparing these macaroons to Lette (in old town, off of Fair Oaks) I would have to say that I prefer Lette. But these macaroons are still very good and I would come back here again to buy them. Now let's talk about customer service. Upon entering, I got in line and the line seemed to be moving even though there were quite a handful of people ahead of us. The girl who helped up behind the counter seemed kind of slow. Not slow as in unintelligent, but as in movement. When I told her what macaroons I wanted, she seemed to have moved very robotic and very slow. Then she slowly went over to the kitchen to tell them that I wanted an egg salad sandwich on whole wheat. After I paid for my items, I got a number and sat down at a table inside. Some of the tables were dirty and still had used plates and silverware on them. We didn't wait too long for our sandwich. Now for the parking, we were fortunate enough to find street parking on Colorado (I believe it was 1 hour free parking). If you have a hard time finding this place, it is right across from the post office. There is also an Indian restaurant right above Euro Pane as well. Overall, I think I would only come here for the macaroons since the sandwiches seems a bit overpriced. Oh and by the way, the macaroons I had: Coconut: (white color) My favorite of the ones I have tried so far. It is nice a light and not overpowering. Salted Caramel: (light brown color) Actually did not like the salt on the cookie and preferred the cream. I actually tried to wipe off the excess salt. Now I have had salted caramel drinks and macaroons before but I felt like there was too much salt on this one. So I won't be ordering this one again, unless I wipe off the salt again. Pistachio: (green color) I liked this one because it was nice and light as well. Had a great cream filling. I bought other flavors but did not get a chance to taste them, so can't really tell you what I thought of them. Oh and by the way, this location is a bit smaller than the other Euro Pane on Colorado, across the street from the Paseo Mall.

    The good: This has become one of those places that I've tried very few items, but that's only because the things I've had are delicious enough that I crave them and don't really even feel the need to try other things (bad, I know). There have been some weeks where I went here multiple days for lunch despite all the other lunch time options available in the area, it's just that delicious. -quiche: generous portion filled with all sorts of veggies that are well represented in every bite. The crust can get to be too much, but it's easy enough to leave that behind since they serve it with a dinner roll on the side, which I prefer to crust. - chicken salad sandwich: oh my god deliciousness. It's simple and something like what I would want to make at home. Tender white meat chicken in a yogurt based salad with fresh dill and crunchy bits of celery on the bread of your choice with baby greens. I've tried a couple different breads and they've all been good and added their own component to the sandwich. The ciabatta is a nice hearty crusty bread, while something like the currant rosemary compliments and enhances the flavors in the chicken salad. I go here almost every week to get this for lunch because it's that yummy. -croissant: nice and flaky with a soft interior -rotating local artist's work on the walls, which helps pass the time while I'm waiting for my to-go orders The bad: -prices for many items are unknown until you ask/purchase them (the prices listed here on yelp are outdated) -items in cases aren't labelled, so you might have to ask what is what -a little pricey -unpredictable foods availability. Some days they are even out of my precious chicken salad :( Maybe bad?: -some people I know won't go here because they leave hungry or super broke -no idea what the parking situation is as I walk here, but it seems like there is some street parking -some of the employees have been a little cranky at times, but generally I've never had to wait too long for my food and everyone working there is nice (although, maybe I've reached that point where they recognize me...) -restaurant itself is a little small and sometimes can be a little awkward/confusing to figure out where you're supposed to go or stand to be out of the way while waiting (the location near Paseo Colorado is much newer and "prettier")

    Came here for the first time and tried several things. A couple of macaroons (green and brown), an Italian sandwich, a tuna sandwich, and an iced latte. My opinion is that even though it's a bit pricey, I could tell that the ingredients are fresh and good quality. Flavor-wise, I wasn't blown away, but the food didn't taste bland either. The service was a bit off too, can't put my finger to it... but the staff were not rude either. I guess it was a mediocre experience. Perhaps a few more visits to let it grow on me?

    I have been driving past the Euro Panes in Pasadena for about 2 years, and I have finally had the chance to stop in and try it. I absolutely LOVED Euro Pane. The coffee is great (I had a cappuccino), and the pastries are divine. I split the fruit tart with a friend and it was the perfect portion size. There is no breakfast menu, so I got the veggie quiche and along with the pastry; it made a pretty good breakfast. Euro Pane is a great bakery, and it is definitely worth the stop!

    Have you ever simply DESIRED food? I have been literally thinking about Euro Pane for about 4 years. My sister took me here 4 years to have - drum roll please - you guessed it, the famous egg salad sandwich. Oh so amazing, so beautiful. There must be a half a dozen eggs on this baby; a half a dozen eggs that I haven't has IN FOUR YEARS. If I had only written a review, bookmarked it, or something. The next few times I visited California, I could not for the life of me remember the name of this place! After seeing it on Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate (which featured this very sandwich), I finally had my moment of remembering! And sure enough, the first thing I do when I visited Pasadena in February was go here! DREAMS. FINALLY. FULFILLED. I cherished every morsel of egg on this sandwich. I'm not sure if this is a review or some sick erotica, that's how fine the line was for my desire of this sandwich. If you never been here, I not only highly recommend going - I recommend adding their number to your contacts list, bookmarking it on yelp, and writing a glowing review as I have!

  • Carl M.

    Fancy deli style. Food is good. Left me hungry honestly. But then again I love eating a lot. If your two people. Share a salad and sand which. That way you get a little of both. Otherwise it's too expensive to order your own salad along with the sand which. Everything else I can make at home. Fresh bread and deserts though pretty standard french bakery. ill give it 4 stars though because everything is fresh.

  • Clare R.

    Walked in with my friend for a quick macaron run. It was my first time here and I saw many people eating there for lunch! It was a cute bakery and the girl that helped me out was very kind! The macarons are $1.85 each! I got 2 mocha, 1 hazelnut, 1 caramel, and 1 strawberry! The mocha was delicious! It was perfect. and my friends and sister really enjoyed the other ones. I must come back and try out their sandwiches and coffee. Maybe I'll also grab some macarons for myself!

  • Catherine L.

    They charge 25cents for butter now?! :( I used to stop by all the time for their giant giant giant macarons! I've never actually had brunch here but I'm a big fan of their pastries! A little pricey in my opinion, but I do love their chocolate and raspberry and pistachio macarons P.S. don't try to park at the bank next to them. The parking nazi's at the bank will get you! But there's nice street parking around the corner.

    Breakfast and Coffee Place ... Fabulous! (5 Stars) We've been here a couple of times and each time has been really a pleasant experience. - coffee -- very good (capuccino and cafe lattes) - bread - very good (reminds me of bread in Europe) - egg dishes - very good (cooked the way you like it) - service - very good (always with a smile) - ambiance - very good (always clean and bright) I'd definitely go more often ...

    OMG I think I just OD'd on eggs First of all, I LOVE eggs. I was pretty happy eating up the first half of the sandwich. The eggs were done right, the tomato spread was tasty, and the bread was good. The fruit that was served on the side was fresh too. But in the middle of the second half... I stared to feel like Lebron. I wanted to pass this sandwich off to somebody else. It really is a lot of eggs. Maybe like 4-5? I don't know. Great in moderation! Tried: egg salad sandwich with rosemary bread Service: good Parking: street. I came here early on a Sunday morning so it wasn't an issue. I can this being a problem at other times though cuz parking is limited and street parking is 1 hr I think

    I went to europane today, and was very excited about trying their famous open-faced egg salad sandwich. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I expected a flavor-packed egg salad, but instead it was just full of mayonnaise. I tried to pack on the tapatio to give it some contrast in flavor, but it was just very bland, and the mayo overwhelmed me. My friend ordered the veggie sandwich, she said it was good. Maybe I just had bad luck with it, but I don't think I'll be giving it another try.

  • Leah C.

    I really loved the modern coffee shop style and the secluded location. Also, the eggsalad sandwich was so amazing! Definitely come here for sunday brunch when its not too packed. The only thing I didnt like was the cramped seating, but besides that Im coming back next week.

  • Clara C.

    On my favorite places for brunch in Pasadena! They have an amazing menu of items for lunch and the best macaroons I've tasted in LA. Plus they are huge! Definitely try their egg salad sandwich. One of their popular items on the menu. This location is not very big, but I like the homey feel this place gives off. I usually opt to sit outside to people watch. Lot of street parking around the corner from this place.

  • Ailyne H.

    I really enjoyed the egg salad sandwich I had here. Egg salad sandwiches can get a bit monotonous after a few bites, but Euro Pane does a nice job of making this simple dish quite a tasty treat! The macaroons I ordered made for a nice sweet finish at the end. BTW, these macaroons are the largest I've ever seen. My favorites are: *Sea salt caramel *Raspberry *Pistachio Nice, casual place to bring a friend, your mom, or gf/bf. This place is definitely on my radar whenever I'm in a 5-10 mile radius.

  • Kelliann G.

    The service was pretty quick and they were nice... but the food was really, really subpar. The egg wrap was extremely bland, so I swapped it for a tuna melt. I really wanted to puke! It tasted like bad fish, and smelled super funky and gross. They gave me my money back but said that the smell was probably the cheese. That doesn't explain the disgusting taste or the very distinct old fish smell. Two bad sandwiches was enough... I wouldn't come back here.

  • Ana C.

    Today would be my last trip to Euro Pane. Each time I get something from them, I get more and more disappointed. Their egg sandwich used to be good. But now it seems that they just slap a ton of mayo. The same with their pastries. I just feel that their pastries is just a blob of butter and sugar (or syrup). The ratios do not seem balanced. Today I got the English Muffin, which is supposed to be healthier. But my hands and napkins were just drenched of butter grease upon just picking it up.

    (1)

  • Kai R.

    This is a great bakery across from the Paseo mall. Two warnings: make sure you exercise (a lot) beforehand so that you can get away with eating all of the great pastries they have here, 2) seating is fairly limited. They also serve lunch here too - salads & sandwiches. Haven't tried those yet (need to).

  • Ray N.

    The review is based on their macarons ... Anyways I came here yesterday with some classmates just to get some macarons, since I heard it was pretty good. This place is located near Ruth Chris. There is pay-by-space parking, or even the garage across the street. Upon arrival, this restaurant had a very relaxing feel to it-- it was just a great location to have some tea, or perhaps have a nice catch-up session. Anyways, my classmates and I ended up sampling their macarons-- and they were all pretty good; however, the Hazelnut macaron in my opinion was the best. As for pricing--it was on the pricy end, but come on, it's Pasadena we are talking about here. The macarons were decent pricing, ~$1.80 each. Overall, I had a great experience here and I'd definitely come back to try their other treats.

    Every time we visit Pasadena we make sure to come to Euro Pane. Get the cheese puffs, the croissants, the beet tart, the chocolate tart and of course the bread, the sandwiches and the coffee!

    I have only been here once, but dream of going back for their Open-Faced Egg Salad Sandwich. I love eggs, and have had more than a fair share of egg sandwiches...both homemade, and restaurant made. But when I took my first bite of Euro Pane's egg sandwich...everything else in the room disappeared. I forgot about my iced coffee (which was pretty good...decently strong, not watered down or bitter). I also forgot about the yummy macarons I had just eaten. It was THE egg sandwich of egg sandwiches. It's like that scene in Princess Bride, where they are describing the greatest kisses of all time. Well just like that kiss, this Open Faced Egg Salad Sandwich left them all behind. =) The only downside is seating availability. It's a gift and a curse to be so good. Such good food, but not enough tables. That, and unless you are local, parking is super hard to find...I had to walk several long blocks. But that is not really their fault, is it? ;)

  • Bill P.

    This was an awesome find in SoCal where it was hard to find a restaurant open before 10am for breakfast. The coffee was some of the best I've had. Very impressed that they had a Croque Monsieur on the breakfast menu and knew how to change that up to a Croque Madame. Pastries and baked goods to die for.

    (5)

  • Kevin C.

    Meh. Overall pretty underwhelming. The kouign aman was not as flaky or caramelized as the ones at Mccall's in Los Feliz. The lemon bar was average. The apple blueberry was surprisingly flavorless. Maybe their savory lunch options are better, but as far as their baked goods go, definitely in the average category.

  • Simon M.

    I didn't think much of the egg salad sandwich. It's just egg salad, and a bit different from how you or I could make it, but not sure about the craze over them. Maybe it's not made the way they used to make it here, per some reviews. Another person in my party had been to France, and she didn't care much about one type of macaron (I think it was pistachio, and it was too chewy for her), and said that the hazelnut was softer and a more authentic macaron. And I can confirm that they were very different in texture, although still edible. Found metered parking a couple of blocks away. A bit noisy, but that was fine. An okay experience, but I could take it or leave it.

  • Jeff H.

    They will sell you a big sourdough bowl. Perfect for serving some clam chowder in. I liked it better than the sourdough at Whole Foods. Get some frozen Splash Café chowder at Costco. Perfect hot food to serve alongside dozens of oysters for your hungry friends.

  • Kelvin C.

    I think the only reason to come here is to order the Egg Salad Sandwich. There are different assortments of bread to choose from, but they'll all be drowned out by the delicious egg salad anyway. Just order this and fart eggs for the rest of the day. Oh, I also had the tuna melt but it pales in comparison to Nordstrom cafe. The macaroons are whatever. They do allow you to buy a whole loaf of their artisan breads, which is pretty good at $5 a pop. They'll even slice it for you. 3.5 stars.

    Not missing the chance to try this lil bakery out while in the Pasa area. Here's how this dining equation played out: I usually say "YUCK!!!" to hard-boiled eggs [HBE] but then + ... Dining companion highly-recs the Egg-Salad sandwich (and promptly tells me it's on Gertler's BTIEA "Chilled Perfection" list). I am forced to re-consider my stance + ... So I ordered, ate, exclaimed (!), and eliminated said-bias against HBE ! = ... Proof: The well-cooked eggs piled high on the moist & perfectly-toasted house-made bread plus the greens 'n sundried-tomato-pesto...yums~!

    Pricey sandwhiches 8-9$ but they taste really good. I loved the egg salad or other known as the open face sand which. I've tried the rosemary and cranberry bread, both were delicious. I think the europane further down Pasadena has more pastry selections, or maybe because I came here an hour before their closing time that they didn't have much pastries on display. Turkey sandwhich was a bit dry, lemon bar was mediocre, not my thing. Belgian mocha was delicious. My server used a paper to grab my pastry but I did see a waitress use her bare hands and then scratch her ears. Sorta grossed me out. I think I might want to go down to the one near old town for their pastries.

    Hands down the best EGG SALAD SANDWICH I have ever had. Their soft boiled egg is creamy but not heavy with mayo and is nicely paired with a tart tomato spread on the bread of your choice. They also have the best LEMON BARS I've ever had. I have yet to try making their lemon bars that were featured in LA TIMES Culinary SOS section. I'm not a fan of the macarons or croissants but the egg salad and lemon bars are enough to keep me coming back. I did have one unfortunate episode here when it took literally 45 minutes to get my egg salad sandwich because they ran out and had to make more. The staff was kind enough to add two free pastries to my order so I didn't feel as bad but I can't say the same for my boyfriend who had to wait there with me.

    While I won't dock any stars, I had my first disappointing Europane lunch today. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich on rosemary currant bread to-go. I eagerly tore into the wrapping when I arrived in my office only to find a thin slice of salmon and mixed greens on toast. The dill creme fraiche was not enough to liven up the sandwich. While simplicity can be a good thing, this combination just didn't wow me. And for $9.25 I should be wowed. This lunch fail was my own fault -- I didn't read the description carefully enough to see that typical sandwich ingredients, like tomatoes and red onion, were not included. The complimentary chocolate chip walnut cookie helped ease my disappointment. I'll return for their amazing baked goods, other tasty sandwiches, and friendly service. I'll avoid the salmon sandwich.

    Great Food...Beet Salad is outstanding, Love the grilled vegetable pressed sandwiches. One complaint......Please get laminated numbers for the customers to take to their tables. This way the servers don't have to scream in our ears to figure out who ordered what. With the high ceilings and hard surfaces it is obnoxious to hear them screaming diners names every few minutes. Simple and that way I can relax while I'm enjoying your superb food.

    This is just one of my favorite places in Pasadena. It has a quaint, cafe-style atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The variety is great and everything I've tried here has been outstanding. There are also several healthy options, but I usually leave here stuffed so I just plan for that. The owners of this restaurant are extremely kind and generous people, so that doesn't hurt, either. They are famous for their egg salad sandwich and macaroons, but I also recommend the grilled veggie sandwich on ciabatta; they even add turkey to it for me... Delicious!

  • Jessica G.

    Quaint little cafe--unpretentious and delicious food. We ordered 1 salted caramel macaron, a cinnamon roll (which was more like a sticky bun--for tea time later, of course), a turkey sandwich on brioche and their famous egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread. It was quick, yummy, and fulfilling. Prices were more than reasonable too. $1.75/macaron and I felt like it was the size of my face! Maybe a little dramatic, but when you come from $2/two-bite macarons, you will be amazed by these suckers. It was like ten bites of pure bliss. Overall, I definitely want to go back and try more things on their menu!

    Ok so. I've been to Euro Pane before, but the one a couple blocks down. As I understand it, this location is the original, and Euro Pane purists believe it is the best one. And yes, I do see the light and definitely do agree. I've had a life changing experience, ya'll. While the one down the street is newer and has more updated decor, I'm not really one to care about that. Good food trumps good ambiance, any day. I think I spent half the day here, left after breakfast and came back for lunch because it was just that good. You'll want to get whatever comes piping hot out of the oven at 8am. In my case, it was the english muffin. It isn't what you'd normally think of english muffins. It's the real deal. Not those tiny crumpet shaped Thomas english muffins a la McDonalds breakfast type. Large. Thick. A little gooey/chewy in the middle. Crispy and warm. The aroma is like HEAVEN. They heat it up for you when you order it too so it's crispy. It also comes with delicious jam and butter. Fast forward to lunch, where everyone talks about the open faced egg salad sandwich. It's in like 200+ reviews so it can't be wrong. And boy o boy is it good. Perfectly cooked eggs (the kind where it's a little mushy in the middle, like in ramen), delicious accompaniments, and you get to choose the bread. Fresh baked bread. Also, we got to eat some of the rasberry/berry tart since it was on the sample plate. That thing is like crack. Crack infused. Warm, melts in your mouth, like butter. I'm not really sure how else to describe it but yea, I told my bf and bff to try it, and they were non enthused. But as SOON as the tart hit their taste buds, they had this crazy OMG **** @____@ stars in their eyes look. Converted. Done and done. They see the light. And they aren't going back. Euro Pane, I love you!

    At first glance, I thought they were closing soon because all the displays were nearly empty. As I looked closer there were a few items to choose from: Macaroons Pear cake Brownies muffins....and some other forgettable items. Only two stars because of the poor service. I had to ask the girl at the counter what everything was. As opposed to her just naming the very few items on display which would have same a lot if time. And I asked what a limonata was and she just replied "I don't know" Pear cake was bomb!

    Probably the best Mocha Latte I've ever had so far. The barrista was NOT stingy with the chocolate. But it wasn't too chocolatey. The coffee was strong and bitter at the beginning... but the richness of the chocolate towards the bottom of the cup really won me over. And this is why I am voting "4" instead of "3" which I would have if I only had the Vegetable Fritatta. Though good and satisfying, was not something I would crave for anytime soon. Euro Pane is one of those lovely small bakeries that makes a great local spot. If I lived in the apartment building around the corner from this place, I would be a regular! That mocha is enough to drive me back here... good thing street parking is not a problem.

    Located in a generic street strip mall on Colorado, housing a Subway and a Cash Advance office, Euro Pane is easy to overlook. The interior of the place is very disappointing, yet it is in direct disproportion to the quality of their offerings. I'm knocking off one star for the lack of aesthetics, as I have no desire to linger here (that's important to me). When inquired, I was informed that everything at Euro Pane is made in-house. Love that! The thick quiches looked amazing, as did most of the baked goods. I was crushing on a fresh blackberry and blueberry topped tart, until I found out the only thing separating the berries and the golden crust was raspberry jam. Not a fan of raspberry jam. But vanilla cholesterol custard? Yes, please. The chocolate croissant I retrieved from the lipid-stained brown bag (everything was to go - see reason above) and inhaled (I'm not going to lie - it was pretty shameless) was... excellent! Two of my favorite foods had a scrumptious baby. I could barely think. I've read rumors about the hot chocolate, so though I scoff at hot cocoa, I ordered a small one. Apparently, they create this beverage with real chocolate, and can substitute soy or almond milk for those who are in a lifelong war with lactose. Hanging head* Anyway, this was the best hot chocolate I've ever savored. Opt for the larger size, with no regrets. $6.65 for both, with soy upcharge. When I'm next on this side of Colorado, I plan to be back to try a variety of their delectable-looking carbohydrates.

    The line and the service was very slow. The quiche Lorraine was excellent and the salads were ok. They should have told us the quiche came with salad when we ordered additional salads. They didn't offer to toss the salads, which I think is the thing to do if you're eating at the establishment. Not a very quaint location.

    Like most everyone, we both ordered the open-faced egg salad sandwich. It was a-mazingly delicious :) I had it on brioche. Audrey had it one rosemary currant. Damn tasty. The staff was not the friendliest. Reminded me of being back in the neighborhood in Boston - where you walk into a place and they look at you, like: "Yeah, what? C'mon, dummy, we ain't got all day." The macarons were good, but at 3:30pm the selection was not awesome. They were slightly frozen and a little chewy, the filling was also a little overpowering. Not the light, airy cookie you'll get at 'Lettes. On the plus side it's about twice the size of a regular macaron - and let's face it, that's a BIG plus. Even though these cookies weren't perfect, they were still yummy. If you're in the area, worth stopping in for lunch :)

    So I'm the idiot that gets the cobb salad at the place famous for an egg salad sandwich. I loved that they used soft boiled eggs rather than the traditional hard boiled - the texture was much better, and it actually added some nice color to the salad. It could have used more dressing since it was such a hefty portion. Other than that, decent salad. Looking back, I wish I had gotten the egg salad sandwich - it's THE thing to get here. Odd, isn't it? It seems like such "meh" deli fare, and yet it is the most popular item. There's a reason for that - soft boiled eggs, open faced, nice presentation, great bread. The baked goods on display looked amazing. There was some sort of berry tart that I kicked myself for not seeing until after I ordered. I ended up with a chocolate macaron, and it was decent. Large for a macaron, but could have been a bit softer. [PS - those of you that think this place makes the best macarons need to try 'Lette in Beverly Hills] There's a large communal table, and some small tables scattered inside and outside. We found seating to be a bit cramped, but that's also partly due to an oblivious heifer who refused to budge her scooted-out-way-too-far chair when we seated ourselves at the table behind her. All in all, this is a nice breakfast/brunch/lunch spot, and I look forward to coming back.

    Euro Pane serves up outstandingly delicious fresh made sandwiches as well as baked goods. The sandwiches are some of the best in Pasadena. Artisan bread is fresh from the oven and tastes just that way. They offer many bread choices. We had the chicken salad, perfect and lots of it and the feta cheese sandwiches. Both were fresh and all of the ingredients crisp and tasty. The service is at the counter order, so you can come for a quick lunch or take some home for dinner. . We will be stopping by to try the pastry. Enjoy

    I love Euro Pane's baked goods. All of them. I can easily order one of everything. Whether it is a quiche, pear tarte, or english muffin, all are consistently good. I haven't had anything that was not delicious from Euro Pane.

    Egg salad is the best I've ever had. It's SUPER filling, though, which I guess it would be since you can count the individual eggs yourself, haha.

    This is hands down the best bakery in Pasadena area for cinnamon rolls and sticky buns. Their quiches are full of flavor, and my fav breakfast is their french toast served with sliced pears and a blueberry sauce-is delicious but on weekends only. Their cookies are all good but their oatmeal is the best and they serve a good cup of coffee.

    This comment for store management. 1. Store needs to be upgraded. Currently it looks like you had a commitments issue when it comes to design. Contemporary or French fancy? . Get rid of every plastic flowers and plants. They just make your store look dirty. If you can change your bathroom. It is not nice that everyone can walk through your kitchen. 2. Improve your croissants now that you have Urth cafe a block from your store you need to sell real croissants. Don't display any egg sandwiches. They look unappetizing. 3. Change the location of your drinking water. Every time I am there someone drops their cup of water splashing all the customers sitting close by. 4. On a positive note you have an excellent and friendly employees. Great food and the best cookies I have ever had.

    Open-faced egg salad sandwich. Get it. You can order it on the bread of your choice but I opted for olive. One of my girlfriends had it on the rosemary currant. She is now living in New York but when she came back to LA, the only place she wanted to go to was Europane to get this sandwich. Her boyfriend is apparently an egg salad sandwich connoisseur (who knew there was such a thing) and he claims this is the best egg salad sandwich. EVER. How many eggs end up on a single sandwich? You probably don't want to know but I'm pretty sure it's quite a few. I had this the day before a half-marathon. Prob not the best idea but the lady staring at our sandwiches reassured me that I made the right choice. I can't recall the last time I ever ordered one of these at any other place (I have to admit, I'm not the fondest of sandwiches) but I am a big fan of places that are known for a few select items which they do extremely well. I wish more places in LA were like that. Like a lot of bakeries, it's casual. No waiter service here. My friends left with quite a few baked goods. I gifted an assortment of their macarons to a friend who was housing me. Yum! The ones I had were pretty scrumptious. They were moist, not too sweet, and surprisingly big!

    My daughter and I were here Saturday afternoon. We picked up a few macarons. They were good, but not exceptional. I like the location and the layout. It has indoor and outdoor seating. It's immediately across from the Paseo. It has freshly baked goods and huge pre packaged salads. The staff wasn't rude, but weren't friendly either. It maybe a family run business.

    One of the perfect lunch places I've ever been to. From a large selection of delicious sandwiches, to a variety of tasty bakery goods, Europane gotz them! I ordered the seared chicken sandwich and it was alright. The other person ordered the almond chicken sandwich and that was delicious! They are known for their Famous Egg Salad sandwich so definitely try that. Didnt want to feel gassy so i didnt get it. I will definitely come back for more of their sandwiches and everything else they have!

    I am a big fan of pastries, so when I saw the rave reviews for Euro Pane on Yelp, I just had to try it. First impression: the place is so tiny. I don't even know if it has a parking lot in rear, but street parking on Colorado was so impossible. The pastries were really not that amazing. The only reason I keep coming back is the macaron. The sea salt caramel macarons are so divine. I can eat them all day, no kidding. For $1.85 each, I find Euro Pane's macarons to be the most decent for the price. Their hot chocolate was also great for a cold morning, but it seemed to be instant. Maybe I'm wrong about this though. I haven't tried the salad and many other drinks, but the macarons themselves boost this place's rating to a 4 star. To go to the restroom, you have to pass the kitchen. I hated that, but at least the kitchen and bathroom were clean.

    Fast service! Me my friend and my said fee received our egg salad sandwiches super quick. How it tasted- bomb. The way they cooked it wasn't like any other egg salad I've tried before! The egg yolk had a good taste and texture. I feel like I got higher cholesterol from it though, lol. But so yummy and filling :D I also got a cafe au lait, which was good also. Nothing special. I didn't give the place 5 stars because it wasn't perfect. I was trying toget water from the water dispenser but no employees went to refill it. It was empty for a while. Place was so cramped also. Overall: cute, delicious cafe bakery place!

    I finally came here for the open faced egg salad sandwich. It was good. One of the better ones out there. Interesting addition with the red bell pepper tapenade and rosemary bread. But can you really go wrong with egg salad? Is it really worth $8? Maybe try it once. The macaroons are really sweet.

    (4)

  • Jaime K.

    Best macaroons I've had in LA!! The macaroon portion is larger than other places as well which I love! Almost the size of sliders! My favorite is the sea salt flavor macaroon. Always have to get a box of these when I'm in the area. This place also has a great selection of sandwiches. The egg salad sandwich is definitely a popular item and one of my favorites. They have two Euro Pane locations on Colorado blvd. For this location there's lots of street parking available. I usually can find parking on Mentor Ave.

    Always disappointed when I get sandwiches there. Bread is either too thin for the sandwich or way too thick. And amount of food for the price is disappointing. Been there a few times. Friend had a turkey sandwich there before and it was super dry.

  • Ellen C.

    This review is solely for their macarons. They were good, but not as good as Paulette's (Lette). It was $1.75 a pop, and I bought all flavors so I can try all of them and compare since I really like Lette macarons. The presentation isn't as nice, but you're getting more bang for your bucks since the macarons here are bigger. I feel that the flavor isn't as good as Lette's and not as packed, but still pretty good. Also at Lette you have more flavors. I'd come here again to buy them but wouldn't buy these macarons as presents since when I got mine some were cracked and they put it in a see through box. But if I were craving macarons I would come here. My favorite is the coffee/chocolate one and hazelnut one.

    "I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl. Without being disrespectful." -Akon / Tom Haverford yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… Europane's open-faced Egg Salad Sandwich - 5 stars alone. When you think of an egg salad, you may conjure up bad images the refrigerated deli section of a market or one of those passable side dishes. 1) eggs are not well done, making the slightly underdone hard-boiled yolk consistency to be too perfect 2) what makes this sandwich, is the tomato pesto spread on the bread 3) AND THE BREAD, please choose rosemary currant 4) it's open-faced, so it's messy. i like a little hands vs fork action to pick up the egg pieces (what the... sick) So why not the 5 stars? I also tried other things on the menu. Spinach quiche, vegetable frittata, goat cheese & roasted red pepper sandwich, Macarons (sea salt caramel, mocha, blackberry, pistachio), and the coffee were all solid 3's, if not, less :-/ I think Euro Pane really specializes in their bread. I see locals filtering in and out on a Saturday morning buying loaves of bread with their families. Their bread is fresh and amazingly tasty, which makes sense because everything else falls into place - good sandwiches, pastries, etc. For some reason, I imagined this bakery to be fancy and upscale via the hype. But I was surprised to find that it's quite the opposite, and located in an obnoxiously outdated, salmon pink plaza. Is it weird that I thought the macarons tasted way better the day after? I was sort of unimpressed when they were fresh :-/ Jog down Colorado Blvd (eh, drive, it's far) to Lette's macarons --their macarons are available at 11 - yes, I checked

    Excellent value. Got in before the lunch crowd and ordered their well reviewed egg salad sandwich on ciabatta. What I got was a huge open face sandwich that would fees me for two meals. The egg salad was flavorful and not too salty. The addition of greens and spread was all it took to take me to egg salad heaven. They also threw in a cup of fruit to finish off the awesome sandwich. Would definitely make it back to try their other sandwiches or maybe even a macaron or two.

    I've been eating here now for a couple of years and this is as close as you will get to French pastries outside of France. Try any sweet from their wife selection typically they serve 2 or 3 difference quiches on the weekends the crust is amazing. Also try the chicken pot pie, when they have this is it off the charts!

  • L S.

    How many places do you know that make panna cotta? Dont know if its always on the menu but i had a delightful vanilla bean one here. I also had a croque monsier which was tastey but the bread was too thick. Nice place to grab lunch with friends but parking is awful. You have to pay even with validation.

  • Ann B.

    I've been here several times. The coffee is excellent. I have tried many of the pastries, most of which are quite good. The pecan rolls are especially delicious, cinnamon rolls are also very good, so are the brownies (lots of walnuts which I love), orange cake and banana bread are very good. Last time I was there I had an herb muffin with with a poached egg and bacon baked into it - one of the best things I have eaten anywhere ever. I also love their whole grain bread sticks with nuts and dried fruit - delicious with coffee. The sandwiches on their home baked bread are very good as well. They make excellent bread. However I have one complaint after going there today. That is that customers can no longer use the restroom. What's up with that? It's a restaurant with quite a few tables for eating inside and out front, they serve coffee, sandwiches and pastry, so why in the world can't customers use the restroom? I have always used it in the past, but now there is a sign "No public restrooms". Really? Thus only 3 stars.

  • Joline P.

    Sometimes when I see a menu item that is so unique that I can't imagine how it would taste good, I have to try it. Today it was a sweet potato sandwich from Euro Pane. The sandwich is made of sliced sweet potato, thinly sliced red onions, cilantro and feta cheese on raisin rosemary bread. I hate raisins. This has been formally inducted into my sandwich hall of fame. It is AMAZING. If you pass up this sandwich you are really missing out. The egg salad is pretty good here too.

    As for many of us, our first experience at Euro Pane was an open-faced egg-citing one! I definitely prefer this over any egg salad in Pasadena that perfectly pairs with the Rosemary Currant. I've also tried the spinach and frittata, which is basically a quiche without the crust. It was light, fluffy, and very flavorful. If you have a sweet tooth, you can't go wrong with any of their delicious macaroons. The Salted Caramel is one of the best treats I've had in so long, besides the Bubblegum macaroon at Mi Piache. Also, their freshly baked blueberry and pumpkin muffins are super moist and smell terribly good. These friendly people really know how to help their customers return for more love. Best bakery in town!

  • Mary L.

    Roasted vegetable salad was thin pieces of zucchini and red pepper on a small plate of greens. The plates are so small, you can barely call them lunch size. I had someone else's hair in my salad. I would have given this place 1 star but I also tried the mixed nut cookie, which was good and so was the pie sample they were giving out. This place may be good for baked goods but it's not good for salad. YUCK!

  • Angela T.

    Came here for the Egg Salad Sandwich--and I was not disappointed! Sooo good! I love egg salad sandwiches and ultimately, you can't really go wrong...but wow, their version was fantastic. You know the deal: creamy and chunky egg salad, sundried tomatoes, chives...on your choice of bread (rosemary!)...served open face... It was a dream. DELICIOUS! We also tried a few of their baked goods: Chocolate brownie cookie was quite good, though too chocolate-y for me. Lemon Bar? Awesome...very pretty and wonderfully tart. As for their macarons, they're a bargain, but they're also no where near as good as Bottega or Lette. Salted Caramel one was just okay for me, thought I enjoyed the the seasonal pumpkin one. But still tasty. I'm spoiled...I work right next to Bottega...so i'm a bit more picky. Either way, solid place for lunch.

    The Great SoCal Macaron Throwdown Continues! In case you missed this: yelp.com/biz/dolys-delec… I've officially stopped counting my macaron stops. I know, you're relieved! :P A visit to Euro Pane Bakery has been several months in the making. I was going to try them out back in May but I never got around to it. I made it priority #1 this weekend to try out their macarons because there have been so many favorable mentions. At $1.85 per macaron, they are some of the more costlier ones, but they are larger than most. Alright, let's put these guys to the test, shall we? I purchased all 7 flavors: Blackberry Hazelnut Mocha Passion Fruit Pistachio Raspberry Salted Caramel I only managed to eat two: Blackberry & Pistachio. Reason why? I DESPISE EURO PANE'S BUTTERCREAM MACARON FILLING!!! Euro Pane's macarons lost me midway through pistachio. These macarons were so horrifying that I even had a very difficult time giving them away! Here are a few more notes: 1. Shell was soft, lacking the firm yet noticeable crisp shell characteristic of a Ladurée or 'Lette macaron. Check this out: yelp.com/list/the-great-… 2. Cookie was way, way too chewy and lacked a degree of moistness! 3. Filling squirts out when you bite down on the macaron and is messy! The only way you're gonna avoid this from happening is eating them cold...which is not the ideal way nor temperature to enjoy a real macaron. 4. Flavors were too faint. Filling lacked flavor and was just sugary. The cookie seemed to carry most of the flavor. I cannot believe that I am ranking a food court's macarons higher than a legitimate bakery's, but the ones from Roti Bon were actually better than Euro Pane's! yelp.com/biz/roti-bon-sa… Final macaron rating: 2/5 Of note, I arrived at lunch time and was hungry so I ordered their popular Egg Salad Sandwich on Rosemary Currant Bread. Egg Salad Sandwich: 4.5/5 THREE WORDS: EGG LOVERS PARADISE!!! Euro Pane does not skimp on eggs with their egg salad sandwich! I counted 1/2 dozen egg yokes on my open faced sandwich! One would believe Euro Pane uses too much mayo from the appearance of the consistency of the egg salad mixture, but such was not the case. The prominent flavor was certainly the egg yokes, which is the way I like it. I had to get accustomed to the tomato pesto's taste. Finally, I discovered the rosemary currant bread to be an ideal selection for this sandwich. Iced Mocha: 2/5 Another let down. Espresso flavor was mild and the mocha flavor was lacking. A fairly watered down espresso beverage. I'm guessing if I ever come back to Euro Pane, it will only be to try their other sandwiches and pastries. Definitely steer clear from the macarons and espresso drinks! Eww!

    Open face egg salad sandwich on sourdough. That's what I get and it is oh so yummy. I blast it with hot sauce since it is a sizable portion of egg salad... and it needs a kick once in a while. I also enjoy their cinnamon bun. It's more like a flaky pastry coated with your typical cinnamon bun toppings. Sound amazing? It is. Go try it. Berry tea is really tart, very refreshing! This europane's macaron's are in much better shape than the ones at the europane closer to old town. They aren't cracked and don't look smushed.

    Top notch quality and super friendly staff. They truly care to make each order right. If you order a lot they will actually double check the bag at the end of the transaction to make sure the contents match the receipt. And if they think an item's not fresh by their standards they'll have you wait a few minutes while they get you one that is. This is why I always tip them at least 30%.

    Their sea caramel macaron is a must try! . The size is pretty big comparing to other places. The shell is chewy and has a perfect texture! You cant get enough with just one, gotta have one of each kind! sea salt caramel & hazelnut are my fav!!! The workers here are super friendly as well ! one of the workers gave me a free macaron because it had a crack on it! & their EGG SANDWICH(with rosemary bread) is OMFG, SOO GOOOOD!! @____@

    Every time I come here I'm not sure if I should have lunch or dessert first. Not only do they have great sandwiches and salads, but they also have lusciously good desserts and baked pastries. The eatery combines a mix of a European cafe and country inn style dining setup in casual setting with long a communal table, handful tables and patio dining. I love their desserts especially their macarons which are amazing. The hazelnut, salted caramel and pistachio macarons are delightful and my favorite. I never leave this place without walking out with one or two or three...you'll know what I mean. Oh yes, they're actually bigger than Lette's macaron and better value for $1.85. Also, their blueberry French toast, muffins, brioche, and scones are incredibly delicious. Great with a cup coffee or double macchiato. Oh ya, did I mention they make great sandwiches as well. Their famous open faced egg sandwich is awesome. The eggs salad with dried tomato pesto, baby greens and toasted rosemary currant bread are so savory and tasty that I actually feel good after I eat. It gets busy and crowded during lunch, the lines usually moves pretty quickly and efficiently. The servers would sometimes take your order while you wait in line. By the time you reach the cashier, your order is ready for you to pay and pickup. So many delicious items that I still need to try. I'll definitely be back again. Parking - park Paseo mall. Free 90 minute validation.

    Euro Pane Bakery is a great place to eat for breakfast and lunch/brunch. This is the original location, they've opened a couple other locations all within the area. The seats are not comfortable here and the tables are small. But I've noticed that the food at this location tastes significantly better than the other locations. My favorite is the Meatloaf sandwich on brioche bread. They're famous for the egg salad sandwich (i'm not an egg person) but all my friends who have tried it LOVED it. They have a ton of different baked goods but my one complaint is.... I saw a fly flying over the croissants right when I was about to order a chocolate croissant. That just ruined it for me.. no flies in my food!! Other than that, this is a fantastic bakery in Pasadena.

    Came to Euro Pane Bakery to try their French macarons. Even though the service was slow and the presentation of baked goods weren't that great, I decided to give their macarons a try. Boy was I surprised how good they were! I wasn't expecting that much since they were in plastic tubs in the fridge, but they were pretty decent. They were assembling the blackberry ones in the kitchen when I ordered so that one was FRESH. MACARON SELECTION: - salted caramel (TRY! - the only salty part is on the outside of the macaron) - mocha - hazelnut (PASS on this one) - pistachio nut (TRY! - very good pistachio flavor: if you LOVE pistachio, you'll LOVE this one!) - passion fruit - raspberry - blackberry (TRY! - filling was tart and had little bits of berry) NOTE: - street parking is a bit tricky (watch out for one way streets) - only fans inside - NO A/C - NOT the place to study or hang out for too long - no wifi - this is the OG location, but there's on across the street from the Paseo Colorado

    I've been here only once, but loved the food and service I got! I ordered the egg salad sandwich and that was DELICIOUS. I really liked the combination of the rosemary currant bread with the greens and the egg salad portion. The egg salad portion wasn't super yokey, which I like because sometimes that can be a little overwhelming. I got the Caffe Latte, double shot which was just an ordinary cup of latte. It did its job in giving me a caffeine high. The line was not long at all. They are really quick in ordering. I came during a Saturday morning around 11 or noon. The only thing is that they have limited seating so if it were to get really crowded, I could see how it can be annoying to find a table to eat there. Last but not least, the macaroons!!! THEY ARE GIGANTIC!!! I ordered a dozen of them because I wanted to share a box to my friend who loves macaroons. I think out of all the flavors, I enjoyed the sea salt caramel, passion fruit, and mocha. The server who was taking my order was really sweet and gave me an extra macaroon for being a "premium customer." Extra brownie points there :)

  • Kathy C.

    Although this location may not look as shiny and new as the one across from The Paseo, I like this one better because of the level of service. I wish I got the name of the girl who was serving us. She was fantastic. We arrived 10 minutes before closing and she told us it was okay to stay and enjoy our sandwiches until after closing because they would just be cleaning up anyway (major points there). Then, she brings out an extra Iced Mocha for free because she said she accidentally made too much (extra bonus points there). The Egg Salad Sandwich is just as delicious here. I am not a fan of mayonnaise and hate how much mayo goes into egg salads and potato salads, but I just cannot help eating this sandwich. Get it with the rosemary currant bread. The Iced Mocha was not anything to write home about, but it was refreshing on a hot day. I doubt I would order it again.

  • Caroline B.

    Super cute place to grab breakfast, brunch, lunch, or just a cup of coffee with friends. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, and their menu is extensive enough to have many options but not too overwhelming. I got the Croque Monsieur sandwich (a weekend special I believe?) and it was delicious. It took a while to come out, and other orders that were taken after mine even came out before my food arrived, but I'm assuming that was just because mine involved grilling/toasting. It was very flavorful and easy to eat. They have a huge case of awesome looking pastries which I really hope to try the next time I go. Although the prices were on the high end, I feel that it's expected from a quality cafe like this.

    My favorite bakery in Pasadena! Excellent selection of baked goods in the morning. I recommend the bread pudding or almond toast. Both are mildly sweet and excellent with coffee. Parking is a bit tough with only a few spots on the street. Other than that, give them a try!

    This is a nice place to get a bite for lunch or a snack. They have good sandwiches, especially the egg salad sandwich. That egg sandwich is huge! I almost always get the Arnold Palmer here because it is made with a yummy berry tea. I am also in love with their cookies especially their chocolate chip cookies which is chewy and heavenly. I am giving them 4-stars because they are located on Colorado opposite of the Paseo shopping center and finding parking can be a pain sometimes. This is a casual place and there is no a whole lot of seating especially if you come during peak meal hours. There is a large communal table in the middle of the restaurant. The outdoor seating area is okay on a nice day.

The ganche is creamier than paulette's and bottega louie's... and the top and bottom portion of the macarons are light and airy... beautiful. Much better deal than the other aforementioned places. Get them quick because they run out before afternoon hits.... Oh sorry, did I ruin your diet plans? ;)

    This place use to be great. The service has really gone down the drain. I asked the girl behind the counter what 1 of the items was she said something, i asked her to repeat it slower and she said "oh forget it". The bakery items are way more greasy than they've ever been. I ordered a few items to fill a box. The bottom of the box was completely greased and discolored by the time i got to my Aunts house. I really did not like the service on two occasions. Chill on the butter and Up the customer service. This place is a bit pricey so you'd expect good service and better balance in the food/pastries.

    Oh geez, one of the best egg salad sandwiches I've ever had. I hear the cranberry bread its on is really good. I could barely taste it since the egg salad took over. Macarons are larger than most places and is chewy with a creamy filling. I've only had the salted caramel and it use a bit more gooey ness of caramel and more salt, but regardless it was still yummy. Be back to try more sandwiches!

    This mornings visit was probably the last at this location I am so tired of the horrible, rude, ignorant staff there. Reluctant to help you or the customers who are curious about the pastries on offer. The service is slow and the prices are high for pastries are are often stale. If you get annoyed by questions please label your items. They ought to change 'Pane' in 'Europane' to Pain, because it's a pain in the ass to get service in this place! However their other location by the Paseo is smiles better. Service is friendly, larger selection of pastries that are fresher and its cleaner. Their Mochas are delicious but tiny.

    My husband and I have been wanting to try this place for breakfast for some time. Well my friend visiting us on a Sunday morning was the perfect excuse to check this off our list. We got here about 10 am and was disappointed to hear they were out of all Egg type breakfast items. I ended up getting a vegetarian sandwich, not the vision I had in mind for that morning. It tasted good. The pricing is a bit high. We also had $4 dollar OJ and a delicous chocolate chip walnut cookie.

    I went to Euro Pane Bakery yesterday because of their lovely Yelp reviews. When I went there, I was impressed by their open-faced egg salad sandwich - the best I ever had! Pieces of soft boiled eggs on top of rosemary currant bread just hit the spot and tickled my taste buds into delight mode. It was quite messy handling this sandwich because it is open-faced, but I love it anyway! I have yet to try their macarons, however, so I will be back! Finding parking was quite difficult since Euro Pane Bakery is located in Pasadena, but you should be able to find ample, FREE parking at the residential area nearby.

    Almost missed this little jewel as I was driving down Colorado Blvd. Made a u-turn because I'm always up for trying new places. So glad I did. I ordered rosemary currant toast and a cup of coffee. The coffee was great! They use a blend of Jones Coffee. No wonder. And the toast was very good. I went back in an ordered a pastry with sliced plums to go. That was amazing. Just looking forward to going back and trying more goodies. You must try this place - the service was a little confusing but the staff was friendly.

    I love sandwiches....to death. If we suddenly found ourselves in a world where sandwiches were outlawed; I would have no choice but to smear mustard on my face and declare war against the tyrannical butchers of goodness. You may think this makes me a floozy sucker for all sandwiches. Oh far from it. I am super critical of those breaded houses of heaven. Especially those of the chicken salad (CS) sort. I'm not sure if I could love anything more than a CS sandwich. I used to love Zooey Deschanel. Now I just find her annoying. In top ten circa High Fidelity countdown montage of the best chicken salad sandwiches I have ever eaten. Europane would be top 5. It's in the top 5 for particular characteristics so read carefully before you go eat one, hate it, and defriend me. This sandwich is not made with heavy mayonnaise. It does not have little bits of fruit or walnuts (if you like that sort of stuff in CS than I hate you and you are a fool). The CS at Europane is made with a lighter yogurt base that surprisingly cuts through any expectations of an overly savory (fruitless) sandwich. I can understand where the complaints of this sandwich being too dry come from as it lacks the fattiness of the mayonnaise to supplement the somewhat inherently drier white meat chicken. On top of this mixture is thrown some leafy greens. Sandwich complete. I myself do prefer savory, but this CS sandwich has its own little attributes which I find admirable. Simple. Clean. Light. Healthier. Delicious. It's like comparing a quirky cute girl to a gorgeous model. Both have their attractions. A side note unrelated sandwich matter; the sea salt caramel macaroons here are unbelievable amazing. Nibble on them slowly. Fore play the hell out of them. In said High Fidelity top ten montages, these macaroons would be the unspoken mistress to my sandwiches. However, do to you the reader/viewer still needing to fall for my character as the protagonist; these seductive macaroons were edited out of the main plot. Just know that our hot steamy scenes are in the directors cut.

    Salted Carmel macaroons= ehhh, they ran out of eggs!! Wth?!!! the girl behind the cashier recommended the ham sandwhich and said it "was the bomb" so I decided to get that. I also told her if i dont like it, im going to blame her. So when I did get it after waiting 25 mins it was only a regular ham sandwhich that I can make in my own kitchen. ON TOP OF THAT SOMEONE THAT ORDERED BEHIND ME GOT AN EGG SANDWHICH! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!

    Best bakery in Pasadena. This is the only place I've had croissants as good as France. Most of their baking products are excellent. However, I feel that their quality has dropped a bit in the last few years, but they are still better than most places in the LA Area and still the best in Pasadena. They have good sandwiches for lunch.

    Holy moly, this place is always packed! What I love about this place is that you get to customize your sandwich with one of the many different types of bread they offer, e.g. brioche, sourdough, ciabatta, multigrain, rosemary currant, cranberry walnut, olive. The bread's toasted so the outside is crispy while the inside sandwich filling is soft and warm. I highly recommend getting the brioche bread for your sandwich. The order: - Open-faced egg salad sandwich with brioche bread = 4.5 stars. Eating this can get messy. Be sure to eat it with a fork too. The slathering of dried tomato pesto on the brioche is what took this egg salad sandwich out of the ordinary. I became more interested in eating the dried tomato pesto than the soft-boiled eggs. - Meatloaf sandwich with sour dough bread = 4 stars. The meatloaf is as good as it gets. Not giving it a full 5 stars yet because the meatloaf is still a bit too mushy for my preference, although in general, all the meatloaf I've tasted are mushy. Grr... Nonetheless, this sandwich had great structure. - Coffee and an iced latte. You get to customize the drink as much (or little) sugar as you want. - 1 Raspberry and 1 Salted Caramel Macaron = 5 stars! $1.65 each. They are basically baked egg-whites whipped with sugar, so they can fall apart easily. Be sure to handle with care. Also, these macarons are very, very sweet. I learned not to eat too many of them in 1 sitting because of the overpowering taste of sugar. On a previous visit, I bought one of all the macarons (pistachio, raspberry, strawberry, espresso, chocolate, salted caramel). As a true glutton, I got greedy and ate them all in 1 sitting and immediately got nauseous. In other words I OD'ed on sugar. To make myself feel better, I swore never to return or eat another macaron ever again! But that resolve ended once I came back this time and looked at all the mouth-watering macarons. Oh dear...*face palm.* The pistachio tastes awfully fake. The strawberry is not memorable but very sweet. Not a big fan of sea salt on my sweets because my brain registers the taste of salt but my eyes see that it's a sugary food. Maybe I'm not that evolved yet. To each his own, you know? So with that, I have to say my favorite of the whole bunch are espresso and raspberry. - 1 shot of espresso. UM...wow, 1 little sip and I was quickly making a "the horror, the horror!" face. But disregard this last opinion, since I can't seem to enjoy something so chock-full of caffeine and bitterness. The chairs are a bit too close to one another for comfort as they try to fit as many chairs as possible. Parking's a pain, but if you are persistent enough and don't want to pay $1 for every 15 minutes in the parking lot behind this mall, go park on Green Ave. Next time I come back, I'll be sure to try the Tuna and the Veggie sandwich!

    I really really really really like their canele. But all the other sweet cakes/bread/pastry are just too sweet for my taste. I can only have a few bites at a time. But definately try their canele.

    Not your average egg salad sandwich, unless you always make yours with just-runny-enough yolks, yummy sundried tomato stuff and fresh bread. I was a little overwhelmed by all the choices and wanted to choose the perfect carb complement...I went with sourdough and it was great, didn't get too gooey with the egg salad on top. (I'd recommend going early if you care what bread goes with your sammie. We were there around 2 on a weekend and they were out of ciabatta and a few other kinds.) And, of course, it tastes even better when you nab a cafe table outside on a nice day and have a sweet iced coffee to sip. My friend got a sammie with feta cheese on brioche. Feta can be too pungent for me at times, but this one was pretty mild so I think I'll be back to try it. We went back in for dessert and had a lemon raspberry tart with a super crumbly crust, and then grabbed the last few macarons for the road. They were espresso with chocolate ganache and were fab.

    My little brother's friend decided she wanted to try Macarons for the first time since I kept ranting and raving about the one's I've had from Frances. She decided to get me a Tuna Sandwich served on fresh Euro Pane bread.. I'm giving this place 3 stars because the sandwich was good.. But the Macarons not so much.. This is my least favourite place for Macarons although its much closer to me. I rather make the distance for a quality tasting Macaron! mmm.. mmm.. :DDDDDD

    Closer to 4.5 stars There was a week or two where I came here every other day or so. I love the small cozy feel of this place and they certainly have some pretty high quality goods. The owner Sumi (sp?) used to work at or in some way with La Brea and I think lived in France for a while. Personally, I've found their sandwiches to be a notch better than their baked goods. Rosemary egg salad sandwich is good indeed. Baked goods mostly go unvaried with some seasonal additions. Blueberry coffee cake: didn't find anything too special about it. I thought the top layer was a bit too spongy and not crumbly enough. Blueberry muffin (ahh, my usual fav and crave): crumbly like top and the edge is kind of crispy but I think Noah's, Corner Bakery and Juliennes is better. Not to be mistaken with the blueberry muffin: the corn meal blueberry muffin: I liked a lot Blueberry brown butter cake: crispy outside, soft inside; a little too buttery for my taste. Might be good with some whipped cream. I never thought of myself as a blueberry person but as I write realize that I probably am. Plum Bar: good. Pear spice cake: pretty sweet (in taste, as would be expected from a dessert) and nicely fruity. Oatmeal cookie: chewy, buttery, crunchy.... me likes Cream cheese blueberry croissant: crunchy outside, creamy middle but I think Bristol Farms has a better croissant Italian tea cake: nice because its not too sweet and has a nice marzipan inside

    So, there's this guy who has this thing for this girl in my office. The only good thing that ever came of that is a box of Euro Pane cookies that were dropped off one fine, fine day. what a wonderful day that was -- a day that will live in famy (or whatever the opposite of infamy is, HA!). I'm actually shocked that I haven't Yelped this spot yet. That memory must have been over a year old and I've introduced this spot to multiple people since then. It's one of my go-to spots when taking people around... Here, Jones, Little Flower... I think this joint was where i discovered little flower. I think I've sampled the majority of what they make pastry-wise (excellent!). Admittedly (and unfortunately), I haven't been in a while. Which reminds me, I should probably cruise by some time in the very near future. Maybe, I'll update after I do a little gastro-jogging there.

    Last visit: Friday 6/8/09, 10 a.m. Reason: I stopped in for a box of pastries to take to a bummed-out friend and her family. Hooray: Amazingly delicious pastries and bread. Nooooo Way: Tough street parking Messy/nasty interior No labels/prices on the items, so you have to ask about everything you see Definitely a bakery where you place an order *to go* - the tables are just gross and the interior is depressing. Great pastry/bread: an especially good pick for your own special dinner or a hostess gift. So, GO, but don't hang around... PS. Yes, the box of pastry worked.....my friend and her family were lifted on a bakery rainbow...or something like that.

    This is a wonderful French bakery, and the bread is delicious, but I have some caution for egg salad lovers who order it because it's one of their specialties. The eggs in the salad havy runny yolks, and are more like poached eggs than hardboiled. And it has no taste at all. I understand it's the way the French make their egg salad, but if you're looking for American style, avoid this. Otherwise, wonderful food.

    I appreciate the fact that their macaroons are like palm size and only about $1.50 each, the best deal you can find within 20 miles. They taste amazing! Smooth, Sweet just really good, and alot better than Paulette.

  • Christina Y.

    Hands down my favorite bakery/sandwich shop! My mom and sister brought home their leftover sandwiches yesterday...and they were still suuper fresh and delicious tasting today!! So, being reminded of my love for Euro Pane, I just had to come review it. The egg salad sandwich is AMAZING. The egg is always cooked perfectly, and it tastes so good with the sun dried tomato underneath and the freshly cut chives on top. Not to mention the crunchy sourdough that brings it all together!! The chicken salad sandwich is good, too. The chicken is moist, but isn't drenched in mayonnaise like at most places. Eat it with the current bread. The sweetness from the currents gives it that perfect bite. And their baked goods are top-notch. Everything always looks sooooo good!! It's hard to resist ordering everything. But you can't really go wrong--especially with the macaroons or the lemon bars. I love the atmosphere, too. Not the most trendy place ever, but very relaxed. Perfect for chatting with friends or reading the newspaper if you come solo. Consistently yummy food and always enjoyable.

    I LOVE the Egg Salad Sandwich here. mmMmm I wish I could have one right now. And the desserts here are fantastic. I would've given this place 5 stars, but seriously the service is slow sometimes. Every time I go here, you can expect to wait at least 15-20 minutes for a sandwich. Sometimes they even run out of the Egg Salad Sandwich (so you should try to go early - 11:00-11:30am). I just don't think you should have to wait that long for a sandwich. But I still go back.... The Egg Salad Sandwich is worth the wait.

  • michelle c.

    I've worked across the street from Euro Pane for nearly 6 months and all I had tried were the beverages. How was I oblivious to their baking mastery? I met some old friends for lunch last week. I had the tomato and feta sandwich, which was really good and an interesting twist on the usual caprese. The pastries are really the show stopper here though. I won't be partaking very often, but it will definitely be that afternoon pick-me-up or special occasion stop.

    Open-faced egg salad sandwich is a winner, winner, winner! I'm already a fan of eggs so after reading all the reviews, choosing this was a no-brainer for me. I got it on their freshly made whole grain bread and it was lunch heaven. At first I thought it was way too much to eat but I tucked it away in under 10 minutes. The eggs are perfectly cooked (for me) -- soft whites, bright and soft yellowy/orange yolks. The eggs are held together just-so without too much mayonnaise (if that's what they use to begin with). I am not a mayo fan at all, so this was a great thing :D The deal-maker of the sandwich for me, however, was not the eggs, but the sun-dried tomato pesto spread below it all, hiding under the greens. This really pulled it all together for me and made each bite a delight. The bread was soft and flavorful, and in my opinion, a step above La Brea's (I've heard the owner originally worked there). Even if you're skeptical about egg salad, I'd recommend this! It definitely looks daunting as it's a giant pile of egg salad, but the meal is so light and airy, you don't get that gross feeling of eating too many eggs with mayo when you're done. The taste of eggs was very subtle and not overly eggy at all. I've always heard that if something smells and tastes overly eggy, you've over done your eggs. EuroPane DEFINITELY knows what they're doing with eggs!! I vaguely recall shoving a large hunk of yolk in my mouth and savoring the meltiness of it. I was a bit apprehensive that it'd be overly yolky, but not at all. Get this, please! The salted caramel macaron is the best macaron I've had in LA. I'd place it above Bottega Louie and Paulette's in terms of balancing the flavors together. The shell was light and airy and the filling wasn't too heavy or cloying. It tasted great after being refrigerated all day, too! At $1.50ish a macaron, they're a steal. They're much larger than either of the aforementioned macarons as well (: I can't wait to go back! There are so many mouth-watering pastries to try! Oh! I stole 1/8th of my classmate's red velvet "cupcake", quotations because it was the size of a large muffin, and found it to be pretty decent. The cake eaten alone seemed a bit heavy and tasted reminiscent of red food coloring, but paired with the frosting it worked out on my palate.

    The food here is very good, I got the veggie sandwich on olive bread and it was delicious. It took a while for the food to come out, that is why I gave it 4 stars. But it came with a little cookie and I got a bag of chips. Was a little on the pricey side, but that is part of the territory when you get fresh food. Also, this review is for the location near Lake street. I have also eaten at the one across from the Paseo and they have a larger variety of sandwiches and are slightly faster.

    I came here for their macarons because I heard they were the best! And they are definitely one of the best that I've had. They are bigger than most macarons I've tried as well as a good price! I definitely love coming back for the macarons. As in terms of food I am not sure since I haven't had it but I heard it was only ok.

    My boyfriend and I discovered this place over a year ago and have been pretty consistent customers. They have excellent coffee and pastries (try the lemon bars and the double chocolate cookies!) and I love the frittata. The French toast is to die for! Both the turkey sandwich and the red pepper and goat cheese sandwich are fantastic. That being said, their service is troubling. Extremely slow and unfriendly. It almost seems like the people behind the counter are irritated that you are there supporting their business. It's tough to understand and is the reason I won't give this place above three stars. Hopefully one day the owner will see some of these reviews and will get her staff in check.

    This one of the few hidden gems in Pasadena, and you ought to try their flourless chocolate cake and Maracoons. It is a rather low key cafe, and their pastry selection is not exactly very extensive... but they have a number of unique stuff you won't see in your regular (aka boring) American bakery. Parking isn't so bad, although they don't have a parking lot per se... so you'll have to settle for street parking.

    Ahhhh, The Freshness! I hit this place up after reading about it in LA Weekly and seeing it made Jonathan Gold's top list for four years. I was a little skeptical since it was hidden behind a bunch of plants and lacked a lot of menu selections, but the place was busy with "regulars." We ordered a regualr ham and cheese on brioche and a turkey on sourdough, hold the mayo. What a wonderful surprise to touch and taste freshly baked bread. The sandwiches don't look like anything special but they are delicious. I ordered an orange juice and the woman taking my order just disappeared - I think she went to the back and squeezed the OJ right then and there. We also picked up a pear pastry (flakey pastry with real pear slices) and some other pastry the shape of a miniature bundt cake that was dark brown and sweet. You could tell these things were baked fresh and that is why I am definitely going back.

    Good quality ingredients, good bread. Chicken salad sandwich was bland and expensive (around $8) considering the size (small) and that it came with nothing, not even garnish or a pickle. Wife's red pepper and goat cheese sandwich was the same. Noisy with seating on Colorado Blvd. Inside kinda cute but not too exciting.

    I've been to this one and the other one further west on Colorado blvd several times. I had some bland tomato soup once that I didn't like. The macarons are heavenly. Today I ordered the egg salad sandwich for the first time, having read that it's their specialty. I'm not usually an egg salad sandwich kind of girl. However, this was was unbelievably delish, with lightly toasted multigrain bread, some kind of tomato pesto, arugula and/or spinach (don't know which), and lovely egg salad. The egg salad was made from eggs that were cooked somewhere between soft boiled and hard boiled. They were mixed with wonderful seasoning, including some garlic flavor, maybe in the mayonnaise? It was just fabulous. Can't wait to go back for another one.

    food: my faves include all their macarons, bread sticks baked with cheese and ham, lemon bar, yogurt and granola, and their take-out salmon salad. personally i think their egg salad sandwich is a bit over-rated. service: slow but nice final thoughts: definitely the best bakery in pasadena

  • Andrew G.

    i'm startled that i hadn't reviewed europane, as i've been coming here for years. i think that it started with the croissants and an la weekly review. it's just up the 2 from where i live and pasadena has a slightly urban-er kick than silver lake. or maybe i meant to say 'more urbane' at any rate, the croissants -- while they last -- are flaky, buttery and perfect. and i say 'while they last' because they DO run out. the croissants are a gateway drug, because eventually they will be out of them, and it will be late enough that your eyes will wander beyond the pastry case and up to the list of sandwiches. i won't get into too much detail, but the egg salad is divine, the chicken salad amazing, the roasted red pepper and goat cheese deletable, and the olive bread and rosemary currant bread about as good as baked goods ever get. perhaps the most genuine and warm aspect of euro pane is the presence of the owner, former la brea bakery pastry chef sumi chang. almost every time i'm there, she's buzzing around the dining room, chatting with customers, talking to children, and making sure everyone is attended to. a recent discovery of mine is their chocolate tarts. imagine the flakiest crust you ever tasted filled with a bittersweet chocolate, topped with a little layer of flourless chocolate cake. the flavor is so deep and layered it almost hints at espresso. bliss, and this is coming from a late-blooming chocolate lover. it was today that i stopped by on the late side with a friend. i made a beeline for the pastry case, but it was obvious that there were no more chocolate tarts to be had. sumi gave me a cookie -- on the house -- as a consolation prize. amazing. i have other europane stories -- meeting a leather jacketed jonathan gold there one friday morning, for example -- but i'll keep them to myself and suggest that you peep it for yourself.

    They have a great grilled veggie sandwich! The famous open-faced egg salad sandwich is quite good too, although it's a bit rich. Tried their sea salt caramel macaron, and it lived up to its name with chunks of sea salt on the top. It turned out to be way too salty for me, although my dining companion (who eats salt like candy) loved it. Sometimes they run out of things if you go there late, so early bird gets the worm! (Or, the grilled veggie sandwich...) Plenty of parking in the back.

    Glad this place is a far enough drive from my 'hood -- otherwise I'd be a big fatty. Who knew that meatloaf could be so good (i.e., try the sandwich)! The cookies and brownies were decadent, and I will be trying that egg salad sandwich and those gorgeous caneles in the future. All I ask is that the staff clean up a little maybe... Could've been that I was there on an off day, but would it kill you to clear some dishes?

    Best egg salad sandwich ever? Maybe. It's pretty damn good. It looks good, the eggs are perfectly boiled, and there's like 4 of them in it. It's not drenched in mayo (not that thats a bad thing). It's got that sundried tomato paste thing on the bottom. The baguette was light and toasted well. Tasted pretty good. It looked small when I first got it, but its pretty filling. What's with the open-face though? All the people I saw eating that sandwich were mashing it allover their face or losing huge chunks of egg. Next time i'm gonna ask them slap on another slice of bread on top. None of that fufu open face stuff. Got this funky macaroon too, with different creams and some sea salt on top. It's indescribable..just try it.

    This is a very cute bakery. The egg salad sandwich is delicious! It doesn't use all the mayonnaise that some use to make it. The eggs are soft boiled and are really good!

It's located in the midst of downtown Pasadena. A great breakfast place or just a snack break while shopping! enjoy :)

    ****THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THEIR MACARONS but lord, their macarons are delicious. i've tried three flavors: pistachio, chocolate, and hazelnut (yet to try raspberry/sea salt caramel) they are all ridiculously delicious and addicting, BUT if i had to rank them -- 1) chocolate, 2) hazelnut, 3) pistachio. GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF, GET ONE (or a dozen)

  • Melissa S.

    This is my favorite little bakery/sandwich shop in Pasadena and possibly in the LA area. The egg salad is good, but I think the chicken salad is even better. and much healthier. I appreciate that it is made with greek yogurt instead of mayo. The daily soups are also usually pretty good. All of the bakery items are delicious, I always pick up a loaf of olive bread. The sea salt macaroons are the best macaroons I've ever had. I've tried several macaroons around town and these really are the best. My only complaint is that the service isn't always the best, I've had my order forgotten. I also wish they would label the pastries so I know what everything is at a glance. Just judging the food, however, this place is 5 stars.

    Hidden in an unattractive strip mall, but go there for the French macarons (espresso chocolate, salted caramel, pistachio, currant, strawberry, and hazelnut). Well worth the drive, though you should get there early before the salted caramel macarons disappear!

    So I'm kinda addicted to their macarons. I dream about them in my sleep! They are bigger than other places so it's worth it, and I really like the salted caramel. I'd go back to try to the coffee and sandwiches.

    Perhaps the past four times I've visited Europane within a month have been good days, but I always received decent service. One of the ladies (I wish I knew her name) is this sweet young lady, who is always cheerful and attentive to customers' needs. I ordered a Fleur de Sel (caramel salt) French Macaroon and apparently, the lady in front of me had already ordered the last one (she had a different lady). When the lady who was helping me found out that they had run out, she offered me a hazelnut french macaroon instead, free of charge. Even though I had been disappointed, the free macaroon redeemed it. The caramel salt french macaroon has been by far, my favorite french macaroon of all time. It's sweet with a bit of crunchy saltiness that's sprinkled on top. The meringue portion of it is crispy at first and fluffy as you bite into it, without being chewy, unlike some of the other bad french macaroons I've had. The lemon meringue tart and plum tart (seasonal) are my favorites. The crust tastes like it was homemade by Grandma. Pure butter taste with the perfect crunchy, slightly flakey texture. I won't write too much about the open-faced egg salad sandwich, since everyone seems to have commented on it. Being an egg salad sandwich lover, I would have to agree with everyone else, it's fantastic. This place is now my favorite cafe and sadly, my wallet is becoming slimmer because of this place. Europane is " tres bien!"

    Everyone else commented on the egg salad sandwich, so when I got there, I decided to order practically everything else on the menu :) The meatloaf sandwich is excellent- moist, tasty, nice dash of mustard, love the onions... I had it on the rosemary currant bread which was a great match- crusty edges, soft innard, points of sweetness w/ the currants... My husband remarked that it was the best meatloaf sandwich he's ever hard. He got the roast beef sandwich on ciabatta bread, he says it's "very good" and liked the softness of the ciabatta. :) And then... We devoured the cheese puff thing in the cafe while waiting for our sandwiches- and it was amazing- crusty cheesy on the outside, but soft melty innards. Literally melty- I have no idea what they do to get that texture. My husband took a "taste" of his carmelized banana tartin and immediately went into raptures of delight and refused to let me have any. I'm guessing it's really really good. Then we got home, and so far we've been amazed bt the mocha cookie- crusty outside by soft chewy inside... I really like the ginger scone- flavorful and not cakey like scones I've had around town. Oh, and their zucchini bread thing is really good too- savory, cheesy, dash of onions- really good.... We're excited- we still have the blueberry brioche, french brownie, and chocolate fonude left to try... Incidentally, the store got really busy while we were there and our sandwich order took a little longer than expected. The guy who helped us looked into it himself, fixed the holdup, and threw in a few treats for us. Excellent service is that 5th star :)

    Wow. All these food critics aren't kidding when they say the egg salad sandwich at Euro Pane is one of the best around (it was featured on Jonathan Gold's list of things to eat in LA before you die, and also on the Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate"). It really is a seriously kick-ass sandwich. Now, listen folks. I love egg salad. A lot. In all of its many forms. But there's something about the egg salad at Euro Pane that puts it high above the rest. Most versions of egg salad that I've seen in my day are wet cement-like (albeit delicious) concoctions of diced hard boiled eggs held together with tons of mayo. The eggs in Euro Pane's salad are only medium boiled, giving the yolks a runnier consistency, and cut into larger chunks rather than diced or mashed. As a result, the integrity of the egg itself is kept in tact and you can really savor the egg flavor, rather than the mayo-heavy taste you get from most other versions. Add a squirt of lemon juice and some arugala on top of a couple of slices of sourdough and you've got one awesome sandwich. The egg salad alone deserves 5 stars but there are some misses here. My dining partner ordered the roasted red pepper and goat cheese sandwich which was way too heavy on the peppers and, as a result, significantly less satisfying. Also, the oft-discussed macarons were tasty enough and came in a nice assortment of flavors, but the filling could be creamier. There are better macarons out there (make a trip to NY or Vegas to visit Bouchon Bakery and see for yourself).

    Have been back many times since my first review. Everything has been delicious. The sourdough bread is magnificent. Lovely tasty quiche. The turkey sandwich is made with thick pieces of real roasted turkey, not deli meat. This is a real artisan bakery.

    So, Euro Pane and I have this tacit understanding that I can't spend less than $30 here. Because honestly, as I'm standing on the other side of the display case, my eyes can't help but grow big like saucers while I'm staring all the scrumptious confections. Since my eyes have always been bigger than my stomach (well already I have TWO eyes and only ONE stomach, so already ma ventre can't compete!), I tell the lady behind the counter to grab the big box and fill 'er up! Last time I came here, my buddy and I braved the storms of biblical proportions to devour Euro Pane's small but tasty sandwiches. My buddy got the egg salad sandwich (closed face - you can do that, at no extra charge!) and I got the turkey sammy. The bread is so fresh and delicious, and even though I asked for my sandwich sans mayo, it was never dry and was soft, fresh and flavorful to the last bite. Since it seemed like the deity above wanted to drown the world away in a sea of despair, I had to play Noah and get two of every macaron (pistachio, fleur de sel, mixed berry, raspberry, espresso and hazlenut) . You know, to make sure the delicately crispy cookies get a head start procreating in the New Age II. I also got the blueberry brioche which is shaped like a pancake. Cutting into it was a delight - I could see the soft layers of eggy brioche encasing a creamy yellow custard. The blueberries popped in your mouth and added a juicy element to the already delectable item. I also got the bread pudding - it was okay. It was pretty dense and not as spongey as I would have preferred. The pecan tart is always delicious - the crust is buttery and crumbled in your mouth while the pecans were crisp and the filling was rich and caramely tasting. I also got two almond cookies which were nutty and crunchy - can't get any better than that! And finally I got an apple tart, which looked golden brown and flaky, but alas I did not try but gave away. Annndd I still wanted to get more! Ah, next time. I definitely will get the brioche again and their nutty tarts (the macadamia I picked up the time before last and it was spectacular! But there weren't any available this time around) and of course, their macarons. The macarons keep very well and still taste great after a few days, but their other baked goods are best consumed the same day, otherwise they lose their freshness. There is just too much to choose from at Euro Pane, and only so much room in my saucer-shaped eyes to eat :[

    I was excited to visit this place for breakfast this morning but sadly was completely let down. I'm not sure if the AC was down or if its usually like this but it was extremely stuffy even with fans running. I looked at their macaroon selection & was thrown off by them being on display in bags! It didn't seem like they'd be fresh & I was right! I picked out Mocha, Hazelnut, & the Sea Salt Caramel & honestly I couldn't even tell them apart. They all had the same taste, old & stale. Mind you I'm not at all a picky eater, I eat everything, but these I had to spit out! The pastries looked good but every time I asked what something was the guy helping me didn't know. There wasn't anything special about them, same with the iced lattes. Another thing that turned me off was that there were many employees & it wasn't very busy but the trash can was overflowing with trash to the point where it was on the floor. Overall I wish I hadn't spent $27 on six nasty macaroons, two average pastries, & two iced lattes.

    Egg salad is not for me. I almost gagged when it was brought out becasue the smell of it was so strong. Service not that friendly but sufficient. Macaron filling was too buttery. 2 sammies and 4 cookies for $28 is a bit too much. I'd rather go a few miles to Trader Joes and get their frozen Macarons.

  • Rod C.

    I love the pastrys and the Jones coffee they serve. The brioche bread pudding is amazing. Not too sweet but very eggy, which is a good thing. I have tried their jam tarts which are also delicious and their famous macaroons, yummy. Re: the macaroons, they are not those horrible coconut peaked things you remember from the supermarket but instead these light, airy, merengue creations (different flavors, none of them coconut) which work great with a coffee or espresso drink. Have not tried the salads although they look good as well. Service here is always pleasant. Parking can be an issue but hasn't been so far. Whenever I find out someone I work with lives in the area I'll bring this place up as a "must try". Pasadena doesn't have a large central bakery like other smaller towns but I'd consider this place "my local bakery".

  • Henri L.

    I didn't realize until i came here that what sets a bakery apart is not flavor but texture. Every pastry and bread they make is perfectly textured, and every layer is differently textured, typically dryer on the outside and moist and dense inside: the tarts, the macaroons (concur, caramel sea salt), the pistachio whatever they're called with butter and powdered sugar, the bars. I make a trip here twice a week for the most boring things they sell: little focacia with olives and a side of cheese (followed by granola with greek yogurt and a pistachio whatever).

    Quality. This place is about quality. Their bread is highly sought after by the areas best restaurants. It is one of the few places that can pull a good espresso shot, which will only get better when they receive their new Synesso machine. While I enjoy all of their sandwiches, the egg salad, pressed ham and cheese and meatloaf are 3 of my current favorites.

  • Jen P.

    Dessert: It really as good as people say...especially those macaroons. Don't let looks deceive you, it may not look like much but it's like a bite-sized piece of heaven. The lemons bars are also sweet, tart, and all kinds of wonderful. Service: It's usually very very busy but service is usually pretty great. The workers were literally falling on top on each other working when I was there but my cashier was still friendly enough to crack a joke with us. Parking: A little tricky if you don't want to valet for $1 but if you're lucky you can find some street parking not to far away. Careful around lunch time!

    *squeeeeal* with delight! it took a few turns around the block. and a lot of squinting to find this little nook of an eatery juxtaposed amongst "cash advance", Subway, and "PresidentTwo" (it's next to Subway btw) -- but once you're inside --and visions of happy pastries and sensual croissants seduce your senses, screaming bum outside or not, you're staying. for awhile. start off with something savory. or sweet. you can't go wrong either way! my dear hubby proved just how well he knew me by starting our lunch off with a canale while we waited for our sandwiches. the canale was *perfect*, nearly reminiscent of the same bites we had of the original bordeaux canale in st. emilion. crispy and crunchy, but smooth and squishy. mMm. the choice of sandwiches available is classic - meatloaf, egg salad, tuna, reuben, vegetarian. they all looked equally tasty, and our meatloaf and egg salad choices were super satisfying. funnily enough, they're portioned perfectly so that you'll have room for dessert! :) we took some chocolate chip cookies, each flavor of macaron available, and of course, some canale to go. the macarons are about 1.5 times bigger than your typical gourmet bakery, and in candy colors representing vanilla, pistachio, sea salt caramel, raspberry... and they tasted DIVINE. texture, flavor, and buttercream filling were all on point, and if i didn't know where they came from, i would have guessed they came from La Duree or Miette. my favorites were the vanilla and sea salt caramel. what a find! (and a steal at $1.65 for a huge roonie!) as my hubby put it, "damn, i wish this was up in san francisco". (though he may tire of my squeals after awhile, heehee)

    So my wife introduced me to this bakery in Pasadena. She watches a ton of Food Channel Network shows and she found out about this place in "The Best Ive Ever Had..." The place is apparently famous for their egg salad open faced sandwich so I had to try it and it certainly delivered. Very good. The french macaroons are delicious too, be sure to take some home for later.

    This place is great if you're getting the macaroons. I saw on the food network that they recommended the egg salad sandwich, so that's what I got. I was kind of disappointed. It was eatable, but not the great sandwich food network described. I now only come back for the macaroons. I have had every flavor and each one is delicious.

    I was in Euro Pane yesterday and they have lost their touch. Their pastries were filled with Flies!! I was planning on buying some tarts but after seeing at least 7 or 8 flies on their food, I told the guy behind the counter. He didn't say anything and acted as if that's normal. He just said, "they probably come in from the door." That may be true but that's not acceptable. It's just not sanitary!! People are going to get sick. I turned around and left.

    My wife and I are both lovers of egg salad, so we naturally were thrilled to read all the rave reviews about Euro Pane's egg salad. We decided to experience this egg salad for ourselves. When we arrived, it was as we expected, small simple bakery, nice looking pastries on display, not to crowded for a Saturday lunch hour. The greeting - I felt I was the PAIN in the restaurant called Euro Pane. Are you sure it's not Your-A-Pain? In my defense, i had no questions about the menu, no moments of delay, i knew what i wanted and was ready to ask for the egg salad before even stepping foot in the door. I assume it was the owner, she was a 40-50 year old asian woman who wouldn't even say hello, she took my order, took my credit card, swiped it, put my card on the counter(instead of handing it to me), ripped the receipt off the terminal, placed it on the counter with a pen and walked away. No "thank you," no "your order will be ready shortly," nothing. My order took about 20 minutes, which is fine i guess, but rather long for an egg salad sandwich. The egg salad was non-traditional, but good. It was served open faced on toasted wheat bread, even though i ordered it on a baguette. Not wanting to wait any longer, I decided to eat it anyway. The flavor of the egg salad was good, i would definitely come back again, had it not been for the service. The young latin girls that were also working that day seemed to be learning their customer service skills from their boss. Although they were not as cold, they were not friendly or outgoing. I think attitude is about as important as the food when experiencing a new restaurant. The cookies were good however, and over all food experience was good, but VERY SPOILED by the attitude and lack of service.

    Had the veggie quiche here today. Was disappointing- bland overall. Good amount of veggies, but not flavorful or rich like a quiche should be. The crust was greasy. Since I was eating there they heated it up, barely. The place was packed, staff friendly, but my food was disappointing.

    a pretty busy place, but fast paced and moves. the wait- at least for take out- is just a couple of minutes. the parking can be a drag, tho. kinda tight, space wise, though it's no tighter than any cafe i've been to in italy, france, holland, or germany- so i'm not complaining. i'm not interested in the food- though i must admit it looks good, but the sweets are stellar, and the fresh bread is awesome. salted caramels are fantastic- the candy itself, I mean. the croissants are great, not a greasy buttery mess like some places, the staff are helpful, a touch hurried, but super cool. i await the day i have time to sit a spell, and have some coffee, too.

  • Ted A.

    Oh, Euro Pane. What a Euro-Pane-in-the-ass you can be! Ho, ho, har, ho. Yes, my unparalled, rapier wit has struck again! I cannot judge this place for their coffee (I have never cared for coffee) but am judging it solely on their pastries. The pastries are OK - not an earth shaking revelation but they are good. Not on par with Lovebirds, I should add. But it does bother me that nearly all their pastries include some manner of nuts in them! I HATE NUTS! Their pastry selection, too, is not very wide. Again, Lovebirds bests them. To be honest, I only visit this place when Lovebirds is closed (Sundays). If Lovebirds were smart enough to open on Sundays, then Euro Pane, to quote the great Sir John Barbirolli, "wouldn't see my arse for dust!" (POST SCRIPTUM, 1/21/08: I have bumped my score for Euro Pane from three to four stars. The reasons for that is their efficient service, tasty breads, and - above all else - their consistency and convenience in respect to their business hours. For all these reasons and more, Lovebirds is looking paler and duller by the day in comparison. Lovebirds would do well to adopt some of their competitor's ideas.)

  • Annie Y.

    It's a neighbor place -- small, quaint. I had the open faced egg salad sandwich on multi-grain bread. It's rough chopped soft boiled eggs piled on bread. I think there was an olive or tomato spread on the bread. It was light, different, and delicious. I also sampled the ginger scones (moist and tasty) and chocolate croissant (plenty of chocolate chunks in the pastry). I was disappointed with the baguette -- chewy, not crisp on the outside. I will definitely go back and try more their other pastries and sandwiches.

  • Nicole L.

    The food here is fantastic, but the service is very underwhelming. I came in just after 1:00pm today to order their raved-about egg salad sandwich, and even though there was only one person in front of me in line it took almost 20 minutes. I should have done what the person in front of me did, and called in my order so that it would be ready by the time I got there. The sandwich was very tasty, although extremely filling - I am guessing that it contained the equivalent of at least 4 eggs. All the baked goods that I bought here over the past few weeks were great - cinnamon roll, double chocolate cookie, and raspberry muffin were delish.

    The best Oatmeal cookies I've ever had. True, the staff isn't the friendliest bunch, but I could care less. I expect speed and accuracy from the employees, I don't expect them to be my friends. Who cares if they don't smile? As long as they do their job, what does it matter? I just want my cookies. The food and baked goods are to die for. There usually is a line, but it goes rather fast. The cafe is usually packed and the staff gets over whelmed (rightfully so) with eveyones picky, re-worked order. Way too many kids running around unattended by irresponsible parents, too. Do your-self a favor and get your items to go. Still, this place is way better than Lovebirds Cafe.

    Best macarons I've had thus far! They were very helpful when I ordered a beautiful fruit tart with just one day's notice. The crust was light and buttery and had a texture that was closer to cookies. The custard wasn't super sweet so the tasty fruit really stood out.

    This will be a review that I will edit since I haven't tried everything yet... *Had the vegetable quiche and a small roll for breakfast, along with a small cup of Joe. Yum! Coffee was fantastice and so was the food. A little pricey though - $6.50. Yikes! Munching on the lemon bar. Yum! Sweet and tart, crust is crispy but not too buttery. The only thing is that the place is very dark inside. I don't know why that is but it's a little strange. The friendly gals at the counter makes up for it though.

    Fresh Foods But Inconsistent. Inconsistency must be the price you pay for freshness. I was really disappointed in ordering an egg salad sandwich (served open face) as I have had a few times prior. After waiting 20 minutes (I was in no hurry, but thought they were making the eggs), I got my food and was disappointed that it was cold like it had been sitting out for 20 minutes. I will say that at other times than this, the food is usually fresh and tastes homemade. The pastries are good. You will pay a little more for the quality, but most everything that they make on premise is delicious.

    I was recommended to this place by a friend. She was raving about how good their Open Face Egg Sandwich was, but unfortunately when we got there, they were sold out (I guess we arrived during peak lunch time). So I was somewhat disappointed that I wasn't able to try it. So instead, I got the Red Pepper Goat Cheese Sandwich on Cranberry Walnut bread. It was HEAVEN! First bite in, I noticed how smooth and flavorful the sandwich was. It had a little crunch (from the walnuts), sweetness (from the peppers & cranberry), and creamy (from the pesto and goat cheese). It was a nice balance of flavors. Highly recommended.

    SWEET: this morning, i had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast with my perfect +1= a chocolate croissant and a latte. according to citysearch, euro pane is one of the top 10 bakeries in all of los angeles. so, naturally, i had to do some investigating on my own. as i sat watching the wide variety of customers strolling in, i indulged in the flaky, crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, perfectly golden brown, with just enough chocolate on the inside- croissant ($2.75)..with sips of my single latte ($2.85) in between bites. although this is my first taste of europane, i am intrigued to try out their baguette, as it seemed to be the popular item amongst customers after me. SAVORY: had the pleasure of lunching here today..it was bustling at 12:30, but died down by 1. their selection of sanwiches range from $6 to $7.95 (half sandwich/half soup-of-the-day combos available for the same price). i had the open-faced egg salad sandwich ($7.00)that was recommended by other yelpers, and it was fantastic- slightly undercooked (light and fluffy!) chunks of boiled eggs, mayo, salt and pepper, maybe a dash of mustard, with mixed greens on a toasted slice of rosemary currant bread, with a smather of sundried-tomato pesto. it..was..a familiar flavor with a post-modern twist. oh yeah, i said post-modern. rundown: a bit pricey, but the quality is there. the photography/artwork of local artists displayed on the walls is a big +! will be back to try out their quiche/savory items for lunch soon. *****BEST mocha i have ever had in my life. seriously. try it. indulge yourself.

    The atmosphere is a delight. But my croissant was not worth the calorie expenditure. I've tried it more than once to be sure, tried heating it up. I'd read so many rave reviews. But the croissant still tastes like newspaper to me; call me pedestrian, I don't care. However, the people eating their warm breakfasts with berries looked very happy. And I've had their much touted egg salad sandwich, and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and an unique interpretation of egg salad.

  • Pauly L.

    I got one of each macaroon to-go and they were so good! They were a little bit on the sweet side but that was because I was eating them one after another haha. My favorites were salted caramel and pistachio out of the six that I got. Salted caramel is my bias since I love caramel and pistachio had a really fragrant taste. The size of each macaroom was ginormous compared to other places with a reasonable price.

    Euro Pane is by far the best bakery east of Downtown. It's great for casual breakfast or coffee with friends. It is my very very favorite bakery (another of my favorite is Amandine bakery on Wilshire, WLA). I am a huge fan of desserts and pastries and there is nothing I don't like at Euro Pane (sorry I can't rate their sandwiches or bread). I had a luxury of living across the street from Euro Pane for years and I really took advantage of it!! I tried every single creations offered at Euro Pane. Thank you Sumi for many years and many pounds :) of happiness. :) If you don't know what to order, their cinnamon bun is really nice. It made from soft brioche and filled with gooey cinnamony sugar! If I was health conscious, then I ordered either blueberry muffin or the bran muffin which is surprising pretty good. The tarts are too die for. Sumi (the owner) uses only the best and seasonal ingredients and many times ingredients from the nearby farmer markets. Her danishes are also delicious. Her cookies are the best in town. Everything is made there every morning so you get the freshest pastries and bread everyday. Their coffees are great too. I am a cappuccino lover and their cappuccino is the best in town; blows the chains away! I no longer lived in Pasadena and I have yet to find another humble neighborhood bakery as good as Euro Pane where I am.

    It was a cake disaster. I ordered a cake with a birthday message on it for 4:00 pick up. When I arrived at 4:05 the message was just being started. I had not been quoted a price on the phone, but expected to pay $40 or so for a chocolate cake. When I went to pay I was originally told it would be $95. I was aghast and the price was reduced to $65. Gulp. When I got the cake to the restaurant one hour before the party started I realized that 4 of the words were spelled wrong including the name. I was furious and ran it back to the bakery. I was given pastries and apologies and told they could just fill in the letter a's to make them appear to be o's. Not acceptable to me. I was asked to explain the problems in Spanish to the decorator because they didn't speak Spanish. They actually argued with me on how to form a letter o in cursive correctly. I teach second grade. It was finally fixed with no offer of discount. Never again.

    Sandwiches been berry, berry good to me. I like the roasted turkey and the meatloaf. Plus you get a free surprise cookie with your sandwich! Coffee is also extremely tasty.

    This is a Pasadena treasure experienced predominately by the community's residents. The pastries are amazing and if you are typically a "yum-yum" or "dunkin" person a delightful treat like this will rock your world. it is a must try for peeps in the area. the bread pudding, cinnamon roll, or pear pecan cake are where to start.

    I fell off the wagon BIG time. I usually stay away from carbs - when you're eating a large bagel in the morning, an 18" baguette at lunch, followed by a big bowl of pasta everyday.... either you shell out big time for a whole new wardrobe or you quit cold turkey. I quit cold turkey (a new wardrobe's expensive!). I stopped by Europane after reading many review's including J Gold's - it was my treat for a long day of errands (DMV anyone?). My first bite into my multigrain bread, turkey sandwich .... perfection. What was amazing was the bread was PERFECT in texture and structure. It reminded me what fresh bread is supposed to taste like. The turkey was tender pieces of turkey breast. Not thin slices of reconstituted protein - but actual meaty chunks of turkey. A few pieces of bread alone do not push me off the carb abstinence wagon. Nope, I jumped off for the lemon thyme cake AND a caramel sea salt macaroon. The macaroon was fabulous - good macaroon chewy tender texture with interesting flavor. The lemon thyme cake was very light and good - but almost too light, nearing the dry side. Why only 3 stars? The ladies working the register with big scowls and impatient attitudes. While the food is good, their customer service is not. Get your food to go!

    The egg salad sandwich is the BEST, maybe it's my old world roots but the combination of sprinkled dill over perfectly prepared medium/hard boiled eggs served with your choice of rustic bread gets me every time. Their macarones are divine, especially the sea salt Caramel and Hazelnut Chocolate. Skip the coffee, weak and poorly prepared, and the seating is a little funky but I'll keep coming back for the breads and baked goods. Wish they would put some TLC into the decor and cleanliness of the cafe, it lacks charm and usually has crumbs and old plates scattered about.

    I've literally had dreams about their Egg Salad sandwich. It's frankly almost annoying, because I'd like to try something else, and I just can't seem to resist the pull of the silky eggs and tangy spread. But the husband gets something else every time so I've had bites of the roast beef (nice), the pressed ham and cheese (blissfully non-greasy, but have more than once gotten it a little burnt and it takes FOREVER for them to make), the tuna melt (way surprised by how good this was, as I hate tuna melts), and the ham and cheese on baguette, which is the husband's favorite just because the baguette is so amazingly delicious. They won't serve it on baguette at the new fancy-shmancy location down the street, FYI. 5 stars for the breads, cinnamon roll, some of the sandwiches, and the free cookie they give you when you get your sandwich to go. Nice touch. The other pastries tend to be hit and miss and are probably more of a 3-star, so I'm averaging it all out to 4 stars. The pastries always look delectable and I can't resist trying something new every time, but I haven't found anything that knocks me over yet. The plum bar comes pretty close, but the blueberry coffee cake was dry and the lemon bar was so gummy I actually threw the rest out, which is just unfathomable if you know me and my lemon love. Croissants are tasty; the almond bread thing is just meh. See? Hit or miss. A good source for macarons in Pasadena, but better macarons are to be had in the greater L.A. area. This location also doesn't label their baked goods and is always rushed, so I'm always panicky when I order and don't actually get what I probably want to try, Overall, it's a great place for lunch, I just wish it was stellar in all areas. Go to the other location if you want ambiance; go to this one for take out.

    The Egg Salad Sandwich does live up to the hype! I saw this place on the Food Networks's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" when they did an episode on sandwiches and foods served cold. I also saw a LOT of yelpers mention this sandwich. I had it with the Cranberry and Walnut bread...awesome! And finished it with a San Pellegrino Limonata...ahhh! The only reason it doesn't get a 5 is because the place is a bit small and crowded, and the wait was pretty long (about 20 min. maybe?), but ohhhhh so worth the wait!

    The meat loaf is pretty good but the egg salad does not have any flavor.. the Macaroons is very good also as good as it gets.. thumbs up

    ETA: There is now a guy who collects money for parking in the upstairs parking lot! What's up with that? Only $1 with validation, but the sign says it is $1/15 mins without. Euro Pane has the best sandwiches, hands down. I think that I would practically eat anything they put in between two slices of their freshly baked bread. No complaints about the sandwiches at all. Why not five stars? Even though I've loved every sandwich I've had here, the pastries have disappointed me. I've tried a few of the different baked goods and they just weren't as yummy as I thought they would be, even though they looked super tempting in the little display case. Go for the sandwiches and leave the pastries alone!

    while running around taking care of errands today i decided to try this place out for the 1st time. i got the egg salad sammich on olive bread. it came out looking delicious & rustic. love the flavor. easy to make at home but was happy to find an egg sandwich that wasn't overly dressed. i also tried berry tea. no good. way tart & weird. i normally don't put anything in my teas at all i had to put a little sugar. then it just tasted off, so i tossed the thing. it's too bad because the idea of "berry tea" sounds delicious. for the road, i picked up some macarons. being a fan of la duree i figured i'd try for the heck of it. even tho they look monsterous. picked up the raspberry, mixed berry, hazelnut & pistachio. both of the berries seems eh, not very impressive. personally i like fruit jam/compote of some sort for filling if it's a fruit based macaroon. the pistachio seemed the most decent & i didn't gt a chance to try the hazelnut being that someone else ate it. overall i'd go back for a sandwich if i was in the area again.

    Europane has the most INCREDIBLE egg salad sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. I tell people about this sandwich all the time. The eggs are soft boiled and rough cut with fresh herbs--meaning its a clean flavor and not slathered in mayo.Their crusty, toasted bread is coated with a thin layer of tangy tomato tapenade. Served open face for the perfect ratio of egg to bread. The granola and cranberries were delicious- and served with super-thick plain Greek yogurt (my fav!) And the lavender macaroon? OMG. Surpassed all expectations of what a macaroon should be. Crisp shell, chewy--almost gumdrop-like consistency on the inside--and a perfect layer of lavender creme in the center. I usually never track down the owner to thank them for a meal but I couldn't resist. Sumi (super friendly & super stylish) is lovely.

    Stopped by for a light lunch. I saw this place on the Food Network a few weeks ago. I use to work across the street from here and never knew about it. The bf and I shared the egg salad sandwich on sourdough bread with a bag a chips and iced tea. The place is really small so seating is limited. There was about 5 other couples sitting down. It took about 10-15 minutes for our food. When the sandwich arrived it looked yummy. It was served with a small oatmeal raisin cookie. I didn't know how to eat this sandwich. Its served opened face and i decided to grab a fork to eat some of the egg salad off the top. You can tell that they just prepared it because it was still warm. It was a simple egg salad with mayo, lemon juice and salt and pepper. The sun dried tomato spread made it taste good. Our sandwich didn't come on the sourdough that I requested but instead a cranberry walnut bread. I wouldn't crave this place. I think I can make this sandwich at home.

    I love coming to Europane when I'm craving for something sweet in the morning. The pastries are warm, flaky, and fresh. The cakes/ rolls are tasty, made with fresh fruits and rich, creamy custard. I love how everything is perfectly balanced, well crafted and not overly sweet. Some highly recommended items: blueberry brioche, pear cake, chocolate tart ( very rich, buttery and chocolaty...pure indulgence!), plum tart, and the chocolate croissant.

    e g g s a l a d s a n d w i c h O M G! This trendy euro style cafe located in Pasadena, California has the best egg salad sandwich. It was on toasted wheat bread with a pesto spread on top, followed by arugula and egg salad perfection. Their hazelnut macaroon melted in my mouth and was told that wasn't even the best flavor! I was disappointed that they ran out of the sea salt caramel flavor (its everyone's favorite). There were so many deliciously flakey looking pastries that I did not get to try :(. I will definitely be visiting this place again soon. anitaeat.com

    now that i have my fellow foodie buddy back, i can enjoy great eats again. we were in seach of a good bakery in pasadena and decided to check out this place after finding it on yelp. we parked behind the shopping plaza building. there was a parking attendant who took our money (but had mysteriously disappeared when we had returned....) anyway, the interior was very nice and calming. i love the colored walls. anyway, i ordered the open faced egg salad sandwich and food buddy had ordered the roasted red pepper and goat cheese sandwich. wow the egg salad sandwich was so tasty. the eggs were coarsely chopped and tasted fresh. the goat cheese in the other sandwich was very mellow. very nice. after we had our lunch we decided to take home some pastries. the girl that was at the counter was very nice and helpful. we got the kalamata olive and onion bread (?) which was pretty tasty. i liked it. we also got three macaroons. the caramel and sea salt macaroon, pistacchio macaroon and the espresso macaroon. i actually liked the sea salt one the best. the espresso was pretty strong in taste and i wasnt too fond of pistacchio. we also got a little custard cup. it was very light and creamy. it was a pretty good custard. i really enjoyed this place. they have a small menu of lunch items (probably less than 10 sandwiches) and you can sit inside or at a few tables outside. if its a nice day, i def recommend sitting outside.

    What a pleasant surprise when my wife took me there this past weekend. I ordered the popular open face egg sandwich and it was indeed delicious. The reason why is because they use not hard boiled eggs, but medium boiled soft yolked eggs. They are not runny but soft therefore brought out the fragrance of the soft yolk. Excellent idea. So instead of using a lot of mayo or salad dressing to moisten the eggs if the yolks were hard boiled, the softer yolks required less sauce and tastier. Then they add some tart dressing on the bread before the egg spread which really adds a nice tartness to the final taste. My wife ordered a toasted walnut raisan bread that was excellent also. This is a good find for me.

    This place has introduced to me to my favorite cookie ever. I have heard rave reviews about their egg salad sandwich and their pumpkin pie, those were fine but they ain't got nothing on my cookie. What is my cookie, you ask? Well, funny you should ask, it is the caramel sea salt French macaroon. It is A-MAZ-ING! They change their flavors quite often and normally offer 2 or 3 on any given day I have tried the Pistachio, Hazelnut, and Lavender they were pretty good...BUT in the words of Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U" my sweet and savory cookie.

    After an introduction to the Parisian Macaroon at a patisserie in Beverly Hills, I searched and searched for an equivalent. Euro Pane, had it! Their very best are the orange and the pistachio--and in that order. The orange is so refreshing, light, airy, just a hint of tang. And the pistachio is green, cool, and sophisticated. Pair with a strong latte and you have a perfect afternoon snack. Come early if you would like the orange and pistachio macaroons, they disappear quickly. The proprietress has been there both times I've stopped by. She's confident and courteous. She knows her place is good. --looking forward to my next craving!

    I really liked the ambiance, but the raspberry danish was very lack luster. It lacked the golden, crisp, buttery layers that a danish (like a croissant) should have. The dough itself was soft and squishy like a piece of bread. The filling also didn't taste much different than smucker's raspberry jam. I'd go back to try something new, since many of their other options looked good.

    I was at a party, talking about food (what else do people talk about at parties?), and someone mentioned how great the meatloaf sandwich was at "some bakery in Pasadena." So I took it as a challenge. I did some digging on the Internet and found the place, so I walked down here for lunch one day. The joint was hopping and the sandwich was pretty good.

    Never thought to write a review for Euro Pane because there are more than enough apparently... but I really need to get this off my chest... lunch hours here, SUCKS. Cold soup, bland egg salad sandwich, no more water in the pitcher thing, flies flying everywhere because the door's kept open... so flies flew onto my bland egg salad sandwich which was a relief because it was grossing me out anyway. I let the stupid bug eat it. Otherwise, I 200% approve of the pastries. EVERYTHING's good and some are particularly super good... like the vanilla raspberry tart....... nobody ever mentions it and there are always leftover ones before they close, but it is my favourite. The custard is so rich but texture is so light & airy.. mmm the crust is totally made of heavy butter so I feel like I was in heaven but will work like hell to burn off those calories but whatever because it is THAT good... The vanilla cake w/ white chocolate shavings is surprisely on the dry side, but still delicious... I can taste some sort of almond extract on the icing ? turnovers, yummy.. macaroons ? big but they melt in my mouth every bite... But I don't understand why the staffs can't be a little friendlier and professional ???

    I lived in Pasadena for years and passed by Europane constantly. I was on vacation and was staying near by and thought what the heck, I have time. Good thing I did not go while living there otherwise I might be as big as a house from all the goodies. I read the reviews and made sure to get the macaroons as I am fanatical about the french macaroons (not those horrid coconut haystacks at bakeries that are called macaroons - yuck). I got there at 10 AM on a Tuesday and there were plenty to choose from. I had the hazelnut and the chocolate Fleur de sel. The hazelnut was delish but the Fleur de sel were the bomb. The sweet/salty thing was a perfect paring. They were light and had just enough chewy texture for the perfect tooth. They are a little larger than ones I have had in the past so one was filling enough. Unfortunately, I ordered 3 and ate all 3 that day. I did not get my fill so, I went the next day at the same time and ordered them again. I'm sooo bad. I also ordered a couple of onion/ olive focaccia rolls - those barely made it to the cars as they were still lightly warm from the oven. Everything looks and smelled so wonderful. Too bad I was there only for a couple of days, otherwise I would have tried more things like the breads and egg salad on rosemary bread. Next time, my Lovely - ha,ha, ha.

    I heard that this place had great carbs, and since I'm the biggest carb-whore I know, I had to try it. I ordered the red pepper and goat cheese sandwich on olive bread (about $7), and I couldn't have asked for anything better! The real star of the sandwich was the bread of course. It had little olive chunks and was so incredibly soft! I downed the whole thing in a matter of minutes! On the way to the restroom, I saw them making amazing big macaroons...chocolate...but too bad they weren't for sale yet. There were so many yummy lookin' treats I wanted to try, but alas, I had a long day ahead, so I wasn't able to take any with me...but next time!! The only thing I didn't really like about this place was the organization and cleanliness...it could use some wiping down...and the goodies could be more neatly presented...minor stuff (i'm picky haha).

    LOVE this place. Sumi is brilliant and awesome. The croissants make me want to go back to church. The coffee is delicious, the other pastries are creative and delicious. I gained 5 pounds the first month I moved here because of this place. Highly recommend... only downside is limited seating, and the slow service when it gets crowded..but they do their best with the crowds and the food is worth it.

    Oh Euro Pane, how I love thee. I don't not know why I've overlooked this place having frequented Presidentwo upstairs many times before. A local Pasadena resident for several years, I greatly appreciate having found this hole in the wall. A walk down the street and I am eating fantastic treats and drinking great coffee. Breads, pastries, sandwiches and more. I am slowly making my way through their selection having been here only a handful of times. The lemon bar is fantastic and the zucchini focaccia is quite tasty. The place is roomy with chairs inside and outside.

    I love this place. I've been going there since I first discovered it a couple years ago and have been getting the same sandwich order since then, the chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread. The food and fruit is always fresh and the pastries rotate seasonally. Really chill atmosphere and a great place to sit down and grab lunch in Pasadena, that is if you can find a seat. All in all, its one of my favorite places in pdena.

    My bf and I was looking for a place to grab a quick bite and we found this place on yelp. I must say that yelp never disappoints. The egg sandwich was amazing and I wanted to order another. OMG! We grab the chocolate, caramelized, sea salt macaroons for the road and it was to die for. The sea salt balanced the sweetness. It was so OMG good. yum~o! I can't wait for an open weekend to go again. Must try!

    I love this bakery. I'm here at least once a week to get their cinnamon rolls. Yum! I've been a customer for several years now. I also get some of their sandwiches for lunch. The cookies are delicious. A lot of time this bakery runs out of the cookies and other bakery items. Prices here are about average (bakery items cost about $2 - $5 piece). Other items cost more some less. I love this place a lot more than Lovebirds down the street. The bakery is not very big (maybe 8 - 10 tables inside). Some days it is very crowded and other days it is not. It just depends what time of day you come here. Parking can be a problem here. You either park on the street in front or park in parking structure (not much parking here either).

  • Rick C.

    Well, I didn't try the cookie everyone's raving about, but I did have the egg salad. And yes, it is every bit as tasty as others have said. Although you get so much of it that it looks like you'll be eating about 5 or 6 whole eggs in a sitting. It's probably less than that since I didn't feel like I ate a brick afterwards. My wife had the veggie sandwich, I believe. She liked hers as well. Short and sweet. Oh, and be careful of that street next to this place. It's one way and when you're driving around looking for parking and starving, those one way signs turn invisible.

  • Melissa L.

    I LOVE the caramel sea salt macaroons. Absolutely the best I have tasted. The other flavors are also good, but there is something about the sea salt that makes them the best. They also have very good bread (the rosemary currant and olive are my faves). The sandwiches are good, but it's the sweets that bring me back every time. I think the only "con" I can think of is that it is pricey.

    I wish I could give Euro Pane 10 stars. It's better than any cafe in the whole frickin city! I wish I could sleep on their outdoor tables so that I could be the first person to get my grubby little hands on one of their steamy croissants every morning!! And their ham and cheese sandwich takes me to heights I thought I could only reach on some illicit drug. It's made with real baked ham, which is kept at room temperature and smeared with the best spicy dijon mustard. Mmmmm MMM! Oh and their lemon bars with the shortbread crust are making my mouth water as I write this. Unfortunately, their pumpkin bars are seasonal because I crave them every time autumn arrives. You have to try the caneles (KAHN-eh-lays), but they are only made certain days of the week. They are shaped like tiny little bundt cakes and have a creme brulee like crust on the outside and cakey/gooey on the inside. Curse you, Euro Pane, for turning me into a drooling mess!

  • Doan W.

    The egg salad sandwich on sourdough: solid open faced sandwich, but needed to add a little salt/pepper for my personal taste, but not a big deal killer. Loved the sun dried tomato spread on the break. French macaroons - I ordered a dozen, 2 of each flavor they had that day. They are not perfect in appearance/taste like those at Laduree in Paris. The cookie part was crisp on the outside with a nice chewiness. The filling was a bit sweeter than my preference but they hit the spot when you're craving a macaroon on the east side of town. olive bread stick - this was actually very good. my 18 month old daughter ate most of the olives off the bread before I got a chance to bite into it though.

    AMAZING. Super-smooth coffee and espresso drinks. Pair that with a yummy, buttery croissant that melt in your mouth, and you my friend will have a great morning. I have not had the open faced egg sandwich, but can't wait to try it as I jealously eyed other patron's orders. The chocolate brioche was also a winner to satisfy any girl's chocolate craving. There is a unique setting that makes it very inviting and has a garden feel hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Colorado Blvd.

    When I have a hankering for a chocolate croissant, I go here. The fresh baguettes are amazing. The egg salad sandwich, even better.

    One rainy day, I was looking to have pho at Indochine next door and stumbled upon Europane on my way. Intending to just grab a small dessert, I was sucked in by the display case full of pastries and colorful macarons. After seeing that they did offer a variety of sandwiches, I had a change of heart and decided to ditch the pho idea & go with a sandwich. On my first visit, I went with the chicken salad on rosemary currant bread. It's description sounded so inviting, that I thought it would be a safe choice. Unfortunately, I was hugely disappointed, as the chicken was dry and the sandwich was small. Hoping to compensate, I bought one macaron of each flavor, and after tasting each one, I walked out with a box of a dozen. Their macarons are heavenly and delightful... The pistachio is my absolute favorite and with every soft and gooey bite, your mouth is filled with such yummyness. The light texture of the cookie, to the whipped cream filling, makes for such a delectable dessert. These macarons are a little pricey, but well worth the guilty pleasure. Fortunately for me, I work across the street and can pop in whenever I get that uncontrollable craving for them! Upon reading reviews and talking with co-workers, I paid another visit to Europane, to try their famous open-faced egg salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread. SO DISAPPOINTING. I love egg salad, just not theirs. It was pretty to look at, but not much else. The tomato pesto smeared over the bread gave the undercooked, runny eggs a little flavor, but not much. Even with a little dash of pepper, it failed to give me any mouth spasms, which was hugely disconcerting, considering all the reviews. Perhaps, my palate just fares differently from others. For the price and size of their sandwiches, I'd recommend Lovebirds across the street. For the macarons, you can't get it better anywhere else.

    This is nice little place with good bread and pastries. I ordered the meatloaf sandwich on olive bread and it was good but for some reason it took quite a while to get it. The meatloaf has an interesting flavor to it that seemed slightly sweet, I thought the sandwich was good overall, but different. My friend ordered the turkey sandwich and that came out very quickly but he said that it was a little dry and needed salt. We ordered several pastries: a vanilla tart, a chocolate cookie, and a french brownie. All three were tasty and we agreed that the vanilla tart was the best of the three. The chocolate cookie was like one big flat chocolate chip and I described the french brownie like this "why do they call it french brownie, because it not as good as an american brownie?" It was still good, very cake like as opposed to brownie like. Its more sweet than chocolatey. So go ahead and give this place a try, definitely get a pastry.

    had high expectations for its croissants b/c had heard raves but was disappointed by the croissants, quiche and sandwich. the cranberry walnut bread was the best thing i've had. it was fresh and delicious but as a roast beef sandwich, it was bland and the beef didn't seem like the best quality beef. quiche didn't come close to tartine in sf and i've had much better croissants at other places too. would be willing to return to try other stuff (like its famed chocolate croissants) but not dying to... full review and pic on my site.

    Great bakery and great vibe. It's in building that lacks charm in an area that isn't the most appealing. But, despite the surroundings, this place stands out just on its products and it's friendly owner and staff. I usually go at least once when I'm in Pasadena. I can't name any particular things that stood out. Everything is pretty good - made with a lot of attention to quality, rather than making every generally sweet or buttery.

    After reading all the reviews, I finally went to Euro Pane today and got myself some sea salt and raspberry macaroons, those were the only two flavors left.

    I am not sure if I am a victim of hype or people so lazy they don't eat anything at home. I can make a better egg salad sandwich in a drunken stupor. Yes, I said that. It didn't help that the girl working behind the counter recommended ciabatta bread after I seemed unsure about the rosemary bread. I've been eating sandwiches forever and never had the entire contents completely fall off of my sandwich not once but three times. That is why their famous egg sandwich should not even be served on ciabbata bread without a warning. Honestly there was nothing unique about the sandwich. A little more pesto and the correct bread, top and bottom could make this sandwich a 4 star. And what's up with no prices or what bread is available? In my humble opinion this place is really full of themselves, probably thanks to yelpers. Sandwiches are definitely overpriced and how hard is it to clean off dirty tables. Olive bread is a reason to come back. I just wished I knew how much it was without asking.

    All I can say is - I can't believe it took me so long to find and try Euro Pane! I love this place. First, it is a bakery...and a damn good one. Baguettes, croissants, pastries are the closest thing to bread I ate in France when I lived there. You can't go wrong. A few things to watch out for - if you NEED a baguette that day - it is worth calling ahead and reserving one, as they frequently run out, even by lunch time. Parking can be tricky, and going around the block is even trickier due to 2 one way streets. Good things to note are: If you order a sandwich to go - they give you a small cookie for free in your bag - delightful. Their chicken salad sandwich is incredibly good - get it on rosemary current bread...and you'll be craving it the rest of the week. I would go here any day of the week at a moment's notice!

    As far as bakeries go, Europane is one of the best! And Sumi just loves to see people eat and be happy. Our friend apprenticed with Europane for a while and told us that they don't skimp on ingredients at all, the best chocolate and rich butter. They import ingredients from France. Our favorites are the open face egg salad sandwich, macarons, fruit tart, quiche, roasted pepper and goat cheese, and brioche. Always tasty! The rosemary olive bread is sooo good. They also catered our wedding with a croquembouche and a ring of macarons on the platter. There was not single one of anything left when the night was over. Very fresh and light and just perfect. We always look forward to going over there.

    I love Euro Pane bakery! It's probably my favorite lunch spots in Pasadena. My favorites are the egg salad sandwich--it's soft-boiled eggs served open-faced on a toasted brioche, or just on top of greens. When you order a sandwich it comes complete with a little cookie to curb that sweet-tooth craving after a savory sandwich. My other favorite sandwich is the tuna on olive bread. The tuna mix has a bit of a zing to it. That zing coupled with a slight saltiness of the olive bread is the perfect combination. I've also tried their meatloaf sandwich, which I highly recommend if you're a meat eater. I was skeptical at first, but with the first bite I was sold. I like to get it on a baguette, which can be difficult to eat, but I feel the baguette is the sturdiest of their bread choices to hold it all together. The dijon mustard with the meatloaf and the greens is a nice medley and can satisfy the biggest appetite. Finally, the veggie sandwich on multigrain and the chicken sandwiches are also tasty. As you can see, you really can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches at Euro Pane. Just a note: if you're carb-freeing it, you can order any of their sandwich selections as a salad (the sandwich filling on top of fresh spring greens). Now moving on to the desserts... Lemon squares, pumpkins squares, pear tarts, fresh cookies, sticky buns...all of these sweet treats are sure to win over friends, family and loved ones. Oh one last thing, once you've sampled a few of their sandwiches, I recommended switching it up and ordering their quiche (if there's any left). My favorite out of the two they offer is the quiche with the Japanese squash/veggies. Sooooo good!!!!! Eure Pane is the perfect place to meet friends for coffee in the morning, grab a bite to eat for lunch, or to relax in the afternoon with a cup of tea. Bon appetit!

    I had the egg salad sandwich & a pistachio macaron. the portion size is good - not too big, not too small - and I enjoyed my lunch. the service was kind of scattered, though kind; three different people asked me for my order before I got everything. I wouldn't go there to pick up food for myself, but it's a nice place to share a meal with a friend :)

  • Coffee E.

    Pasadena's best bakery. Great pain au chocolat, if on the smaller side but that's is its true size, flaky, buttery croissants, tasty brioches, solid fruit tarts especially for seasonal fruits, cheesy quiche and perfect, pretty little macarons. I also find myself begrudgingly purchase their lemon bars because I make pretty good ones myself but theirs are just wonderful. Sumi, its pastry chef/owner, takes care to avoid over sugaring her pastries thus one can tastes the different ingredients other than sugar. You can easily spend over $10 for just 2-3 pastries; overall a bit too expensive for the area and because one can find similar high quality pastries for less outside of the area. So minus half a star for that. Another half star taken off for the consistently lackadaisical staff - I mean how hard is it to grab baked goods, transfer said goods to a bag or box, maybe answer some questions and you're done. The displays are simple and clean. Pastry alone, this place is a five star. I've never been there for lunch. Parking can be difficult during rush hours, both weekends and weekdays.

    Europane deserved 3.5 stars. I went back there again this weekend for their egg salad sandwich. Like I remembered, it was really good. We also got the smoke salmon sandwich, it was really good too; even better than Europanes's egg salad sandwiches. Europane's sandwiches are definitely 4 stars quality. However, Europane is very pricey for a cafe. Each sandwich (regular size) is $7+. Also, the employees are not the most friendliest. Thus, have to deduct 0.5 stars.

    Sea salted caramel macaroons! 5 stars for that. The other macaroons were so-so. I actually didn't like the egg salad sandwich at all. I felt like I was eating PLAIN hard boiled eggs (with juicy insides) chopped up on a piece of bread. I was very disappointed as I was really looking forward to it after all the positive reviews.

    Thought I would stop by Europane yesterday morning to give myself a little Valentines love and bring home a chocolate croissant for the boyfriend as party of his gift. Nothing says love like the buttery, flaky, melty chocolate heaven that is their chocolate croissant. Just microwave it for 10 seconds to get the chocolate to melting lovliness. I had their mocha, which is one of the best around. You can tell they use really quality chocolate not pumped or powedery flavor like the bigs chains. I guess quality coffee is really strong because I was still buzzing off this until late last night (I'm kind of a caffeine light-weight though)! I got the raspberry macaroon and it was divine...wonderful crispy outside and chewy inside with lovely raspberry creme in middle. Haven't eaten much other at Europane than their baked goods. Once had a turkey sandwich and remembering that it wasn't that exciting. Must go back in the future for some other lunch fare. Noticed a few comments about their service and I've always had a good experience in that department. Typically the counter people are friendly and will recommend their favorites, but not overly chatty....which is fine with me.

    This review is for the location across the street from Paseo (345 Colorado Blvd.) I came here with my sister (all the way from the South Bay!) since she heard that the macaroons and the egg salad was really good and she needed to go to downtown LA. I got: Arnold Palmer, chocolate croissant, macaroons (sea-salt caramel and passion fruit) She got: Chai tea latte, egg salad sandwich, macaroons (sea-salt caramel) I thought that the Arnold Palmer was okay. It was pretty tart and not really sweet, but I could also tell by the lemon pulp at the bottom of my cup that it was really fresh. I'd have preferred that it was sweeter, but oh well. I had some of my sister's chai and it was mostly milk. I found out later that it was probably because the chai hadn't seeped for very long because it came from a TEA BAG. I have never seen a cafe serve a chai latte from a tea bag. My croissant was good, but nothing really special. It could've been because it wasn't early in the day, so it wasn't as fresh. So I gave it a pass. I tried some of my sister's sandwich and it was pretty good. Just eating the egg topping wasn't so great, but having it with the bread, was a lot better. The mustard or something made it good. Unfortunately, we got there too late to have much of a selection of macaroons. So I took the last passion fruit macaroon. Like others I've seen in LA, the macaroons were big. Personally, I don't care for the larger ones because they take away from the delicateness that macaroons are supposed to have. These macaroons, were like the American version - big, cake-y, chewy, gooey, and without any of the subtleties and melt-in-your-mouth delicateness. I also didn't like that the filling was creamy and fluffy - it oozed out whenever I bit into them. They were also overly sweet and didn't have the sharp, intense flavor that I like. When we were leaving, we saw them bringing in more macaroons from a car on the street, which really surprised me. They don't make them on site? Maybe it came from the other EuroPane cafe. The good thing about them: the sea-salt carmel flavor combination was spot-on. The sweet and savory layering was really well done, even if I couldn't tell that it was caramel. Also, even though the passion fruit wasn't very passion fruit-y, there were bits of passion fruit in the filling, which was a nice change of textures. Finally, the service was a bit under par. I understand that my sis and I took a while to order, but there wasn't much of a line behind us. The guy was impatient while I dug out the exact change at the cashier and he didn't give my sister a bag or utensils for her sandwich. Just got the general feeling that he was grumpy. Anyways, I got the feeling that this place is more well-known for their breads and cafe food rather than their french pastries. I wouldn't come back unless I was in the area and looking for a moderately priced lunch or a nice loaf of artisan bread.

    I love roasted red peppers. I love goat cheese. What could be better than a roasted red peppers sandwich? Possibly on toasted bread. But I could see how the bakery didn't toast it to spread the goat cheese and pesto sauce on. I kind of had to laugh at the 6 or 7 random grapes tossed onto the plate. I would have put them in a lettuce leaf to dress up the plate. But hey, I'm not picky. I used the grapes as a barrier from my teabag. Service, however, was terrible. I also detected an impatient and rude sigh from the clerk when we had a misunderstanding over the sandwich I ordered. Apparently she didn't hear me properly and wasn't pleasant about it. I thought it was my imagination but I've had several people confirm that unless the owner's there, her staff is utterly bored and rude. I had a bite of my friend's egg salad which is supposedly their best sandwich. I agree the egg salad is quite good and I don't even like eggs. I think the toasted baguette really made it. Sandwiches are great but I knocked down a star for the attitude.

    I came here yesterday with a couple of friends. The place itself isnt too attractive looking, it is located in this plaza on colorado and mentor... We all ordered the exact same thing, the egg salad sandwich.....The hard boiled eggs were cooked perfectly..the yolk was still soft not too stiff. and it was with a spread of sundried tomatoes and mixed baby greens. The sandwich was an open face sandwich. I thought there were too much eggs....maybe some would liek it, but i thought it was a bit too much... I would come here again though but next time i'd probably scoop some of the eggs out.

    Really the best bakery in the San Gabriel Valley, and one of the better sandwich places. Their croissants are made the right way, and their ciabatta and brioche breads are outstanding. For lunch, you can't go wrong with their egg salad, meatloaf, or goat cheese and red pepper sandwich. They also make excellent quiches. All the servers/cashiers are friendly and professional. The only negative is the somewhat nondescript setting.

    My friend suggested we met there before heading off to the Huntington Library and it was a damn good suggestion! I ordered the turkey sandwich on rosemary/currant bread. It was heavenly. The flavours of the bread complimented the turkey rather well; a nice melange of savoury and sweet. For dessert, I caved and ordered a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting and large curl of white chocolate. Another win! My only concern was the wait, as I heard other customers complain about a 25 minute wait. I think I lucked out when it only took 15 minutes for my order.

    I am a big fan of their macaroons and some other pastries, I have tired all of their macaroons and i personally think they are better than the ones i had before.-5 stars for their macaroons. unfortunately the service there is pretty bad, and all the staff there seems a little disorganized. on top of that what really bothers me is that they don't accept credit card unless you make a minimum purchase of $20 or over. I was once told that it is illegal for restaurant business to do something like that. in the end 3 stars for Euro Pane.

    Bad Service Ruins the Experience: Our first time there -- We loved the food, but the service was absolutely unacceptable. In the 20+ minutes we waited for our simple to-go order (2 sandwiches), they made 4 separate service errors for other people... forgot to give part of an order, didn't include cheese in an sandwich, wrong size of an ordered coffee, a to-go sandwich placed sideways in a bag making a mess. So when we got our to-go order, we were happy to have the bag presented to us sideways; however when we started leaving, I felt something starting to fall out of the bag. Apparently, the chocolate chip cookies that are included were thrown loose in the bottom of the bag. I was able to catch the cookies from falling to the ground, but because they were rustling around, the inside of the bag and containers holding our sandwiches were all covered in smeared chocolate. Not an enjoyable experience.

    Pastry Chef Sumi Lee does it right with her always amazing pastries. On a recent Hollywood bowl trip a friend came with boxed deserts of , raspberry tart, chocolate tart, lemon bar, and apple turnover. I had a little of everything! They also serve delicious sandwiches. My favorite the feta and tomato with pesto and olive bread, I add turkey. The blackberry tea is a great accompaniment. Looking forward to their homemade pumpkin pie this fall!

    I was in the mood for an awesome sandwich for lunch today. Not just a good sandwich, but an ass kicking delicious sandwich that will have you begging for more. I got the egg salad sandwich on brioche. First of all, I waited 20 minutes to get my food. I don't know why it took so long, but I'm willing to wait for good food so I was ok with the wait. But if you're in a hurry, I would go elsewhere. (Another customer who had ordered right after I did, told me that this place took either a long time or a REEEALLY long time). I got my sandwich to go and so it wasn't until I got home that I realized there was NO SUN DRIED TOMATOES on my egg salad. My sandwich consisted of bread, lettuce, and egg salad. Nothing special. I was really looking forward to the sun dried tomato as I thought this would be the piece de resistance to this mystical egg salad sandwich mentioned by the other yelpers. Yes, the egg was cooked well. But was this the best egg salad I've ever had? Hell no! I'm so disappointed. In the future, I will stick with the chocolate croissants.

    MMmmm.... weakness: fresh baked bread. They have great sandwiches! .. I ordered the tuna... it was a good size. The bread was unbelievably soft and fresh, it melted in my mouth! The actual place is kind of small.. but i went during lunch and it wasn't too bad, we got a seat! .. what was weird is that the bathroom is all the way in the back, you have to walk through the kitchen to get to it... and I felt like i was trespassing. The service was not so bad either! I've heard people complain a lot about the service... not that i can tell from only one visit... but the service good for us! For dessert i ordered a berry cobbler... umm ... it was okay... I think I just made a bad choice... there wasn't much cobbler.. just soft fruit in sauce.. and the cobbler is my favorite part! My friend got another dessert and she loved it... I should have got a muffin, or a cookie.. maybe I wouldn't have been so disappointed. anyway, great bread! great sandwiches! i WILL go back!

    The pastries are amazing. I was not expecting much when my friend wanted to meet at this place - it was in an unimpressive strip mall and the store was fairly crowded. I didn't think pastries could be that good... BUT THEY ARE! I haven't tried any of their sandwiches or egg salad, but give the pastries a try.

  • El N.

    Love their macaroons. They're so interesting with the sea salt. At first I thought it was odd but then you eat it and it makes perfect sense. The salty flavor really enhances the sweetness. How delightful! The sandwiches are good but I had to dock one star because they don't have the exact sandwich I like. It is a small place though so seating is always really limited. Service can be slow, maybe because they get so crowded, it can seem like they're disorganized at times. But the food/ baked yummies alone is worth going for.

    They make an excellent pain au chocolat -- probably the best I've had in LA. Unfortunately their espresso and cappuccino is seriously wanting; their brewed coffee is somewhat better. But the pastries make it all worthwhile.

    My whole family loves Europane. Sumi couldn't be nicer, and should be given keys to the city for upping our bread game long before it was "in" to do so. She created a wonderful neighborhood gathering place with a mellow vibe. Their chocolate croissants and fruit tarts are the best. I had their chocolate almond torte as a birthday cake once and it is just luscious. Long live Europane!

    Another one of my fav places that i almost passed up here on yelp it is east on Colorado just a skip from paseo Colorado .My favorite thing here is the roasted pepper with goat cheese sandwich on rosemary currant bread i also take home a fresh sliced loaf every time i stop by ! the lemon bars and coffee is great as well as the other pastries there is a couple outside seats and they even have doggie biscuits and will give you water if you have a pets that you want to accompany you ! i think sundays they close at 2 best to check the hours before your visit !

    for me, the best pastries outside of paris and since the backdoor bakery closed in silverlake. sandwiches and quiches are also good. you order at the counter and then wait, sometimes for an eternity, for them to bring you the food. even with the wait i still love this place. prices are medium to medium high.

    Had a Blueberry Scone and a Crumb covered Monkey Bread. Both were fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Made the mistake of including a bag of Sea Salt Caramels which turned out to cost $6.50. 4 oz for $6.50?! Are you kidding me? I know, I know, it's a BAKERY and I should've just stayed with baked goods (which are pretty and very good). I also had the bad luck of getting the clueless and confused countergirl. The other 2 people seemed on top of things but she was........confused.

    This place is not that big and the seats are pretty close next to one another. The ordering was quite confusing since there was one person at the register then someone else takes my order, but when I went up to the register I had to repeat my order again ... and she didn't explain to us what we had to do. But, its not a big deal since its my first time and I was just lost. I ordered the turkey sandwich with the rosemary currant bread and an arnold palmer. The sandwich was alright, turkey was a bit dry, but I love the bread. The arnold palmer was ... average but they do use berry tea to mix with the lemonade. I regret not ordering their egg salad on olive bread. My boyfriend got that, I had a bite and it was so delicious. I would go back to get that instead of the turkey sandwich. We also got their sea salted caramel macron. The texture of it was so hard ... not what I expected at all but the combination of the taste was pretty good.

    i had lunch here this past week, and had the veggie sandwich and a pumpkin square. i ordered the egg salad, which i had no idea had such a reputation, and was told as i was paying that they were out. the ordering and counter service was a little awkward, but in no way rude. the veggie sandwich was good, and made with great multi-grain fresh bread, which the girl at the counter had recommended. but it was the pumpkin square that will bring me back here. i'm sure it's a seasonal item and won't be there every time, but it had a lovely decadent crust and classic pumpkin filling, and eating it with my hands was just over the top. yum.

    Yummy sandwiches and even yummier sea salt macaroons! The egg salad sandwich is ridiculous (in a good way) -- the egg "salad" has giant chunks of hard-boiled eggs in it, it looks like they only cut each egg into maybe quarters. I don't even want to think about how many actual eggs I ate in one sitting!

    Good sandwiches, better pastries, but TERRIBLY SLOW SERVICE. I worked a block away from Euro Pane for two years and they were almost as notorious for their food as they were for the sluggish service they provide. I've been there dozens of times, and I've never seen an employee hustle. Completed orders will sit in the back for 10 minutes, ignored. A line out the door will form with the two counter people just milling about out back, chatting with customers. If you get lucky, and there's no line, and you're just buying something from the pastry display, you have a chance of getting out of there quickly... but no guarantees. Perhaps ignoring time is supposed to be part of the charm of the place. Is that European? I just want to warn anyone with a schedule, or that has come to expect hustle as a basic part of good service, that they will be infuriated by Euro Pane.

    I used to love this place. I still love the "place." However, I have had enough bad Ahi Tuna salad to force me to write my first ever review. I used to work at the court house and I used to eat Europane's Ahi Tuna salad at least once a week. Last time that I tried it about a month ago, I was soooo disappointed because the tuna was not as fresh and their perfect ginger dressing was a watered down version of what used to be so delicious that I would always ask for extra. This last visit was also a very bad experience. :( Tuna was smelly and the ginger dressing was awful! It was so watery and had no taste at all. WHAT HAPPENED EUROPANE??? Please fix this problem.

    I had take out of their macaroon and it was splendid! The size of the macaroon is bigger and has more texture than Bottega Louie. When we got the macaroon, it just came out from the fridge, and the cream of the macaroon tastes really good without being too sweet! Loved it! I like it better than Bottega Louie, we had one flavor of each, and only that grass green one disappointed me cuz of its taste of artificial flavoring. I want to come back next time to try their egg salad, but the area of the restaurant seemed a little ghetto and scary, i'll probably take out next time too. Btw, the staffs are very friendly and helpful, need to give them credit for that :)

    The Good: . Brioche . Latte (w/soy or w/out) . Vegetarian sandwich . Egg salad sandwich (open-faced) . Granola and yogurt (w/ almonds and dried cranberries) . Bread pudding . Halloween pumpkin bar The Bad: . Establishment can get overcrowded . Parking is fair . Service is slow . History of unkind employees The Ugly: Euro Pane is a great little place to grab a pleasant morning snack that is not prepackaged and without a logo. Due to the fact that this establishment is very popular, the slow service does not bode well for those with little time to spare. The patronage (comprised of a pleasant mixture of folks), and great homemade sweets, makes for an enjoyable experience. Worth repeated visits. Footnote: For what it is worth, the proprietor is allegedly of La Brea Bakery lineage.

    I enjoyed the food. We ordered chicken salad sandwich on cranberry bread and a salmon sandwich on baguette, and an oatmeal and chocolate chip cookie. The food was good and I particularly enjoyed the baguette. The reason I gave it such a low score and won't be returning is because I have experienced bad service there the last 2 times. This past visit, the owner lost our sandwich order and did not seem to be in any hurry to get us the sandwiches after asking about our order after waiting a long while.

    I really like this place! I had an egg salad sandwich.. im not always a fan of egg salad but this one taste sooo good.. just the right amount of mayo, greens and sauce/spread.. i even finish the yolk.. ( i hate yolks!) I know its good because I wasnt that hungry but i finish the entire thing. Please go try it out.. now.. I take off 1/2 a point because the first time i attempted to try this place, i saw flies so i was instantly turn off.. another 1/4 pt because its out of my poor collage/ asian-frugalness budget, 1/4 pt because i like soft asian bread over the harder bread given. But these are minor issues.. I'll be going back for more egg salad for sure..

    OK, went back to Euro Pane because of one simple reason, quality baked goods on this side of LA. I have to say that the service that I received this past Saturday was quite excellent :) Woo hoo! hip, hip, horray.... Now, just keep that up and you'd receive many more stars. Love the tarts!

  • Katy K.

    I'm definately a regular here as I live close by and also because their sandwiches/desserts/drinks/everything is awesome!!!! The highlight of their food selection is of course the MACARONNSSS!!! Which flavor should you try you ask??? Well, obviously the sea salt caramel macarons (which usually sell out so you have to stop by there early in the day). I've also had many of their sandwiches which are also very yummy but what keeps me coming back is their selection of amazing macarons. Pretty much all their flavors are awesome, but the sea salt caramel macaron is the BEST macaron I've had in LA and that's saying a lot because I've had LOTS of macarons in LA (haha). I would also suggest their berry tea. It has a great berry flavor and is definitely my go to drink whenever I'm there! Only bummer is that the place closes early (5pm), but if you're looking for a good lunch spot on Colorado, this is the best place to try!

  • noorie d.

    The first time I went to Euro Pane, I had the open-faced egg salad on sourdough, the chicken salad on rosemary-currant, AND a lemon bar. I wasn't too hungry...just really indecisive. All of the pastries looked so good and the sandwiches sounded equally delicious. I had the chicken salad first...the chicken was moist, the mayo not too heavy, the bread soft and flavorful...it was wonderful. Next was the egg salad...huge chunks of egg with the yolks at the perfect stage of 'almost done'...wowowow. That was a happy day. The second time was good too, but I was a bit disappointed. Probably because the memory of the first Euro Pane visit was just that great.

    Euro Pane is my current obsession. While I haven't tried any of their meals I have had several of their pastries and pre-made sandwiches. I have yet to meet one I don't like. So good. The service is fine, the coffee nice. Love the setting and the outdoor seating area. Slightly pricey for a daily habit, but delicious for sure.

    This place is one of the restaurant world's serious mysteries. How did it produce the world's best egg salad sandwich? Why does it take over 10 minutes EVERY time you order that sandwich, regardless of the number of customers in the store? Why is the place so dirty, and why does the owner who is always there not do anything about it? Why didn't it locate to a better place in Pasadena, instead of an area crawling with bums? Who chooses whether you get a cookie or fruit with your sandwich? The food is pretty good, the egg salad sandwich may be the best in the world, but the staff is awful and the place is dirty. The pastries are overpriced, but pretty good. Expect to wait forever.

  • Jol O.

    I wish I could separate this rating into two portions: price and food. The food here really is great. Yes, yes, yes, egg salad sandwich, everybody loves it, JG loves, OK yes it's great. The smoked salmon sandwich, the scones, the various pastries- they're all really good. But $5.50 for a tiny piece of quiche? $8.00 for a pre-made tiny deli sandwich (new location) with absolutely no sides? I was at Jones coffee today and they had Quiche from Euro Pane and I just couldn't bring myself to pay for it. I had the money, I was hungry, but the price just seems wrong in my opinion. I suppose I'm in the minority as the line here is often very long, they are doing quite well. If they were a little less expensive I would be happy to eat here more often rather than only once or twice a month on principle. I think Heirloom in South Pasadena is delicious as well but with much more reasonable prices for the portions you get.

    Their macaroons were okay. I got two of them (one of each flavor they were offering that day). One was good, and the other wasn't so good (too soft). The selection here is limited, and even though it was a hot day - they didn't have the AC on...so it was unpleasant sitting indoors.

    (3)

  • J Y.

    Some of the food is good, some is just ok. The service is slow, and the price is just too high. If you must eat here, I highly recommend the smoked salmon sandwich. It's delicious and you get your money's worth. Otherwise, go make these insanely simple sandwiches at home for less than 1/5 of the price and 1/5 of the time.

  • Peggy C.

    I've tried this place twice: the first time I had lunch with a friend and got to try their tuna sandwich and smoked salmon sandwich and both were really good and the second time I came here was on Valentine's Day with my cousins. I decided to try their macarons as well as their tuna sandwich on cranberry & walnut bread, plus they give you an oatmeal raisin cookie. Yum! I definitely love their sandwiches here, but not so much their macarons. I really love pistachio flavored items, so I was really disappointed when their pistachio macaron wasn't as good as I expected. However, their passionfruit, espresso, hazelnut, and their popular sea salt caramel one wasn't so bad.

  • Kimi O.

    I've only been here twice...but my first time was three days ago. Yes, I'm already addicted. Environment: Cute bakery with not a lot of seating. There are people that order to go (expect to wait awhile for your food) and take up space too. The service is bad. For instance, they are not friendly nor do they capitalize in customer service. However, their service is completely tolerable after you've tried their food. Parking in this area is bad. Again, the parking is tolerable once you've tried the food. Food: I work across the street and was taken here by my coworker. I ordered the Tomato and Feta sandwich on olive bread (they offer an array of fresh breads to choose from). Oh em gee. The ingredients are killer! I could tell by the first bite that the tomato was a vine ripe and perfectly ripe. The feta is fresh and full of tangy flavor. Also, they are very generous with their ingredients. The bread was so soft, but not too soft that my sandwich was falling apart. The fresh smell of bread is distinct and you can tell that the bread is baked fresh at Euro Pane. I think what makes the sandwich really stand out is the basil pesto they slather on both sides of the sandwich....mmmmm. It just brings the flavors of the tomato and the feta together and tastes amazing together. If you order a sandwich to go, you also get a cookie (dining in gets you a small slice of watermelon) which is probably the best cookie I've had! Definitely a great place for lunch. Sooo worth the wait and not-so-friendly clerks. I have gone twice in one week! Yikes! But that says a lot when I work next to Lovebirds!

    Here's what I have tried from Euro Pane: Egg Salad sandwich on Olive bread Caramel Salt macaron Canele Bread Pudding Oatmeal raisin cookie Out of what I've tasted, the stars were definitely the caramel salt macaron and the egg salad sandwich. Seriously, the sweet and salty combination of the caramel salt macaron was absolutely divine; I usually find a lot of macarons too sweet for me after a few bites, but this was just right. The texture of the egg salad sandwich was incredible. It was hard to believe that the eggs were boiled; the yolk was very, very creamy, and balancing out the eggs were a bed of mixed greens and a tart, tomato pesto spread. The olive bread used for the open faced egg salad sandwich was also delicious! Do they sell this by the loaf?? Other items: the oatmeal raisin cookie was good, the bread pudding was ok, but I'd pass on the canele. Overall, I felt like they could have had a bigger selection of goods - their display case is tiny, and I've never been able to grab the elusive pear pastry and creme fraiche pastry because they never carried it whenever I dropped by. But I am definitely tempted to come back and try the rest of their desserts, pastries, and sandwiches.

    Sea salt caramel macaroons = amazing! I could eat dozens of these. Egg salad sandwich = pretty damn good. Red pepper, goat cheese sandwich = also pretty damn good. Service = super friendly. The girls behind the counter were very helpful and nice. Saved me from getting a chocolate espresso cookie for some kids who definitely don't need espresso. Only downside is that is was HOT in there. No air conditioning. But, if you take your goodies to go, you won't have to sweat to death and still enjoy the delicious treats.

    Saw all the great reviews and thought I'd try it myself. I took my son there and the service was awful. When a girl came to help the next in line (which was my son and I) she instead looked to the older couple behind us. She then proceeded to make me feel like an idiot for ordering the macaroon's by color instead of using the barely visible chart that she arrogantly pointed to. Tasted the macaroons and hot chocolate we ordered and was definitely not worth the $10 we spent, along with the slap in the face service.

    They are pretty good. I can understand the hype! I would love to go back and try a sandwich. I just find parking difficult. They have delicious brownies. Their mocha cookie was yummy!

    This place is my favorite lunch spot. Amazing sandwiches, (especially the tuna melt tomato and mozz and egg salad). The fresh lemonade is truly addicting and the cookies are to die for. Also, great macaroons of course. Never had anything but great food here.

    great pastries, and the owner is a super nice lady. everyone is just so chilled and relaxed. give this place it's "flavor." the pastries are always fresh and not that sweet. sandwiches are always perfect and no frills. the only problem is the wait during the rush hours. bring some of those pastries home. theyre worth it!

    Always happy with my food and the service. A little on the pricey side, but always more than satisfactory. I always get bread to take home.

    The sea salt caramel macarons are so good !!!!!!!!! The chocolate one is good too and raspberry's okay. I don't really like the hazlenut macaron. The canele is pretty good too but caramel macaron's my fave !

    Oh how I miss you, Europane. Why aren't you closer to me? I would stumble out of bed and spend money on you, adorn your staid interior with my books and laptop ALL THE TIME. I even make exceptions for your eggs not being organic, cus I love you so. The artfulness you display makes you worthy of my admiration. You're both delicate and warmly comforting, substantive and ephemeral...yes, I ate you.

    If you didn't already know, this place was featured on the food network "The Best Thing I've Ever Ate" and I had to say, it was really really good. I mean the only thing I ate was the egg salad on a rosemary currants toast. I will say it was the best egg salad that I have eaten. I think its something so simple but taste so good. The thing different about this place was that the eggs aren't hardboiled, they are soft boil where the yolk still oozes out and kind of makes it all come together with a little bit of mayo and lemon juice! Too bad the portions for this place was small, and was still hungry afterwards, but I was really good. Other than that, I thought the service was really slow. There were maybe only 2 people in front of me, and it took them what felt like 10 mins just to get my order. But other than that, it was legit. I feel like this place is really good for breakfast or brunch where you want to converse with one another for hrs. The ambiance was really nice. One of the tables was made from a tree which was really neat. My overall consensus about this place is that I would recommend the egg salad here with no hesitation. If you come here, don't opt out for other things on their menu, TRY their egg salad. NOTE: This rating is based on the egg salad and my experience. I can't speak out for the other items if I haven't tried it yet, but the other stuff looked good too.

    It's worth going here even if it is just to get the cranberry bread. Their breads are so good and fresh, it is almost like eating cake! I should add that I have not eaten other foods here, just the breads, so I can't comment on anything else.

  • Esin S.

    I liked every food item I tried at Euro Pane, especially the sandwiches. I also find their water station stylish and the ambiance cozy, my only problem was that they dont have many tables, you kind of have to be hunting for one at busy times like weekends.

  • Jason H.

    Their sandwich menu is small compared to Lovebirds down the street. Most of their menu doesnt really appeal to me but the one sandwich that does is their meatloaf sandwich. This thing is AWESOME, so tasty. I get it on ciabatta which has such a great texture of crunchy outside and soft inside, it goes perfectly with the meatloaf since you need a substantial bread to hold the meat in. The tomatoes they use are some of the best, so RED and just perfect tasting. I don't think I've ever had tomatoes this good at a deli. tho most of the menu doesnt appeal to me, this one sandwich alone makes it worth the stars, it's *that* good. Also their pastries are tops, and it's hard not to get one after the sandwich for dessert.

  • Kim N.

    I went here on a friend's recommendation. I was looking for a good macaroon! i woke up early to go cuz i heard it sells out quick... but i was too late. they only had hazelnut left. so i went for it. it was $$ but good (not as moist as i hoped) but good. I really want to go back to try the other flavors. Longing for the ones I had in paris! I also had a ham and cheese croissandwich. I was hoping they'd melt the cheese but they didn't. But it was ok, the croissant was nice and soft. I spent $35 total for two people. A lil' pricy for breakfast.

  • Alan And Nicole T.

    I saw this place on the Food Network show "Best Thing I Ever Ate" and decided I had to try this out. As recommended by the show, the Egg Salad Sandwich is nothing you've ever had before! Any pre assumption of how an egg salad sandwich should be, goes out the window and Euro Pane's one becomes the standard. Yeah, its that good.

  • Jessica Y.

    Egg Salad sandwich here is amazing on rosemary currant or cranberry walnut bread. I've also had it on brioche. The macarons are large and pretty good, although I enjoy 'lette macarons more (the macarons at Europane tend to be a bit drier and less creamy...however, they are cheaper and still yummy). The place is always packed when I go. I also enjoyed their quiche as well as their pastries for breakfast. Service is decent and friendly.

  • Pascale N.

    Still five stars. The portion at the 950 location seem to be smaller than then other location; the macarons were sized inconsistently too... Anyways, this is an update on the macarons. Pistachio bursts with flavors. The blackberry on didn't really taste like anything.

  • C N.

    I come here about once a month when I'm in the mood for a sweet treat in East Pasadena. Unfortunately, I've been a bit disappointed each time... as much as I want to love Euro Pane, I can't continue to lie to myself. The service is spotty. Anytime I ask them to describe goods in the case, they seem annoyed. I wish they would just make signs for their items so that the awkwardness could be avoided altogether. Yesterday, I had their creme fraiche cake and it was not what I expected. Although right out of the oven, it was dry, flavorless and not worth the price. Their lemon bar is delicious as is their pain au chocolat (saving grace) but I think I will start exploring other dessert options in the Pasadena area.

  • Cecilia Z.

    Meh... I don't really get the hype. I'm not trying to sound snooty or elitist in any way, but I was very underwhelmed by Euro Pane's space and ambiance. While I'm all for mom and pop establishments that are homey and cozy, this place was so "casual" if you will that it actually felt grimy. The display cases also were not very appetizing or appealing, which makes me wonder what everyone on here sees in this place. I ordered a few things from here, including three macarons, a dried fruit and nuts ficelle and some sort of buttery shortbread cookie. I really didn't like the buttercream in my pistachio macaron, which was way too warm and completely smushed out of the cookie shells and became very messy as I bit into it. I'm not sure how people claim that it's the best macaron in LA, personally speaking the daintier ones from 'Lette are way better. The ficelle was just okay, a little bit too heavy on the dried fruits and it became very hard the next morning when I ate it for breakfast. Meh. Meh. Meh. So disappointed.

    I only stopped here to get some macaroons to go and didn't get much time to sit and eat. Service was quick, however they ran out of sea salt caramel macaroons which are the most popular. My sister and I opted for their Hazelnut and Pistacchio Macaroons. Price: I am used to eating macaroons that are about the size of a 50 cent coin. However this place has macaroons that are about twice the size of that and are only $1.50 each! which is really not bad. Although I was only able to try two flavors i have to say the pistacchio was delicious! I was expecting a nutty salty flavor, but it was sweet as well. And the meringue portions were lil crunchy on the outside and soft towards the inside - which is exactly what a good meringue is supposed to taste like. I wasn't too impressed with the hazelnut but it was still good. My sister warned me however to stay away from the fruity flavors such as raspberry and blackberry cuz they're not that good. Service - very quick. These are probably the best macaroons I've had so far, and I will definitely be coming back for more.

    Great sandwiches and Breads. If you are looking for the best bakery in Pasadena - this is it! I only wish I could have tried the french bread. I've been looking for a good french bread (as good as clear flower in Brookline MA), ever since moving to LA. But alas, they run out of it early - so go early if you want to try it. I've heard it is delicious, so I'll just have to go back next time I am in Pasadena.

    This review is for their infamous egg salad sandwich only. I have yet to try any of their other pastries or other sandwiches. So I stopped by Euro Pane on my way home from Bob Hope Airport. I wanted a quick lunch to go so I can continue on with my studious ways and prepare for my upcoming exams. Well, too bad that it took there FORVER to get my order out. I waited at least 20 minutes for 1 egg salad sandwich. I was already flustered because parking was hard to find, and the wait just kept adding fuel to my fire. It wasn't like the bakery was super packed either. Yeah, they had about 75% of their tables filled, but all the people there had their food already, and there were only 2 other people in line in front of me. Anyway, when i got my sandwich, I was pleased with the presentation. It was a hefty portion, which made me happy since it was $7.50 for it. I was pretty hungry when I started eating it, so I thought my review would be skewed to thinking it was more delicious than normal. Wrong. The sandwich was not the best egg salad ever. I'm sorry to those who think that this was the best. It wasn't bad, it wasn't too memorable...just OK. I wouldn't mind coming back to try their French macaroons though. They look pretty tasty and I'll update this review once I get a taste of those.

    The open face egg salad sandwich delivers when paired with the olive bread, everything works just right and the sun dried tomato pesto really brings it home... though it did need a pinch of salt and pepper. I will never eat egg salad that isn't made with soft boiled eggs again, umm and I learned something today.

  • Tre Y.

    Ambiance is nice, but small. Pretty wooden community- family style table Apple blueberry pastry is moist w/a crunchy outer layer. huge portion! = Excellent! Guy was friendly and a little obnoxious at the same time. That sounds odd but it's true. That's the best way I can describe it. I wasnt fond of him, but very fond of the selection of baked goodies. So I have to give this place 3 stars instead of 4 b/c of the douche at the counter. If I based it off of the baked goods alone I would've given it an extra star. I hope upon my return that guy isnt around. Parking structure across the st but the bakery does not validate

    Food is fine. Service is fine...sort of Compliance with the health code? Not so much. I witnessed the cashier, some European dude (either euro-american or euro-euro a/k/a white person), serve macarons to a customer without the use of gloves or tongs. He used his bare hands to place them in a container. Obviously, they use their bare hands when making their pastries and such, but the cashier should not. Why? Because the cashier's main duties are to touch money and other dirty things.

    The egg salad sandwich and the goat cheese pesto are to die for. It is a little pricey since everything is fresh but I always come here when I want to treat myself. I recently got a coworker hooked on the goat cheese pesto and now she craves it often. The delicious oatmeal raisin cookie is a wonderful added bonus.

    Okay, so I came here to meet up with an old friend that I have not seen in a while and she wanted to try this place. I am not too familiar with the Pasadena area, so I used my not so trusty iPhone GPS and it led me to the Paseo mall area, which was WAY in the wrong direction. So, I got the directions again and missed it twice because it is a small place. At least parking was pretty easy to find on a Sunday morning. The inside was small, but clean and there were a few tables for outside seating. There were many macarons on display in the dessert case that I wanted to order, but I figured I would get some after I ate my meal. BIG MISTAKE! Everything was pretty much gone by then and it did not look like they were bringing out any more any time soon. I KNEW I should I been worried when I saw so many people walking in and getting pastries to go, but I just sat there taking my sweet time. So, anyway, I walked up to the counter and I ordered the egg salad sandwich because it looked really good (open faced). I did like how the egg yolk was still a little semi undercooked, but the taste itself was nothing to write home about. The bread was not spectacular in any way whatsoever. Overall, it was a little generic to me. I would rather eat the ones I make at home and just cook my eggs they way they did. I would come here again though to try the dessert items, which I missed out on (mostly just the macarons). Those looked really good.

    First off, Yelp should correct the times, On Sunday's it's also open until 5:30 pm, at least when I went! By the way, it should be open later for night crawlers like me! (that's why I had to knock off a star, sorry! D:) The staff are incredibly friendly, and personable. It's a really fun, hip cafe nestled in Paseo (Downtown Pasadena/Old Town) A hop, skip, and a jump away from "the mall" which really is just a Macy's and Archlight theater. Anyway! Back to the review. I was reminded of my non-existant Spring afternoons in France the moment I stepped into this glorious place. There are a lot of windows, so the place is flooded with natural light (but not blindingly so.) The beautiful, primitive decor reminds me of a hipster's paradise. I'm sure all you hipsters are reading this and getting an e-boner as you imagine such a place. The sweets! C'est bon! I fell in love with the Macaroon's, and they have the BEST cookies this side of Mrs.Field's. Let me go on with the Macaroons (or Macarons, if you want to get fancy.) They are PERFECT! Sweet, tangy jelly is sandwiched between two perfectly baked 'cookies' and they literally, just melt in your mouth! The guy at the desk will recommend the pink one (raspberry) but it's all about the purple, baby! It has a fancy berry name that I forgot, Boysenberry, or Blackberry, or something like that. It's purple, that's all you need to know. I didn't try the bread, but it looked, and smelt delicious! I will be returning there again (once they're not closing) to buy some of their "pain". And in french, that means bread, I really don't want to buy their hurt. A lot of people kept coming in and out buying loaves, and loaves, and loaves of the stuff. You'd think it'd be made out of uncut cocaine! I want to try... and I will... and you bet I will write... THE SEQUEL. Oh! And there is a long, beautifully handmade table as the centerpiece of the place, where you can talk to and get to know the other patrons around you. If you're a hipster, wanting to make that love connection with another she-hipster, or he-hipster, this is the perfect place for that sort of "encounter." Stop judging me, I write fiction for fun, OKAY!? But there is nothing fictional about this review, Euro Pane is simply PERFECTION!

    Finally got the chance to check out the famous Euro Pane bakery in Pasadena. Was it good? YES! Great? NOT really! The place was smaller than I expected. We ordered egg salad sandwich, roast beef sandwich, iced mocha, pistachio and espresso macarons. Egg Salad Sandwich: I like how they add sundried tomatoes to the bread but way too much egg. I LOVE egg and this is the first time I actually say okay no more eggs. I couldn't finish my sandwich. 3.5 stars!! Roast Beef Sandwich: My yelp assistant said it was good. I tasted it and it was just average for me. 3 stars!! Iced Mocha: Bland iced mocha but it has bits of chocolate. 3 stars!! Macarons: The espresso was better than pistachio IMO. I was disappointed they didn't have the sea salt caramel. I might have to go back just to taste sea salt caramel. 3.5 stars! Croissant: I was surprised the croissant was still good the next day. Too bad it's not too flaky. 3.25 stars!! Euro Pane is kinda yummylicious!!

    The open faced egg sandwich on rosemary bread + a hungry me = IT WORKS! The eggs were absolutely perfect, but I highly recommend sharing if you're not very hungry! Must be a huge fan of eggs though. The roast beef sandwich is divine. Beware though, it's fairly big, so this is also a sandwich to share! Macarons from Europane are enormous compared to those from other places. I highly recommend the coconut and sea salt caramel. For $1.85, it is quite the deal!

    NO MORE MACARONS?! What they sell out of these quick, I came for lunch around 2 and they were sold out already. I guess I'll have to come earlier to try it next time. This is a very cute quaint place in Pasadena, nice patio area to sit outside on a sunny day, or even inside since the big windows let in plenty of natural light. So I ordered what the server suggested, the blueberry French toast he said is very good! And when I got it, I was a little disappointed. The French toast wasn't soft or very cinnamon-y in fact it tasted plain & all you could taste was the tanginess of the blueberry. The crème fraishe did help it out a little, but still ive had a lot better for French toast. I had a bit of what my friend ordered, the egg salad sandwich, which I also read was quite popular, and was disappointed again. Egg salad, had no salad dressing taste of any sort to it. It's more of just a plain boiled egg chopped up and put on top of basil tomato toast sandwich. However, the ingredients were fresh & very organic, just a little plain to me. Finally the last thing I got to try was my friends egg benedict with smoked salmon and that at least tasted great. The smoked salmon was flavorful and thinly sliced topped with the most perfect poached egg. YUMMY ! I would suggest to order this!

    Espresso macaron with chocolate ganache ( yelp.com/biz_photos/UsrK… ). Wow! There was even chunks of chocolate in the ganache filling. A little piece of heaven in a cookie.

    Euro Pane was the only good thing about taking the bar. Between the two locations, I squeezed in two lunches and several pastries, and they were the high points of my stay in Pasadena. I actually prefer the other location for its cheery interior and clear labeling of baked goods. That said, anywhere I can get that egg salad sandwich deserves five full stars. I'd never had an egg salad sandwich that I'd felt more than indifferent about before, but Euro Pane's inspires love. I did not have it at this location, though, which was not walking distance from the bar. Instead I loaded up on pastries to eat the next morning, along with two macarons for immediate enjoyment. The pastries - a croissant, a cinnamon roll, and bread pudding - did not taste scrumptious more than twelve hours after purchase, but they were as good as they could have been. The macarons were delicious. They didn't nail that elusive crackly quality I've encountered in Paris, but they were truly wonderful in their own right. The espresso was rich and chocolatey, and the sea salt caramel was a destination treat. The salt wasn't overwhelming, but gave each bite a balanced savor, and the caramel was luxurious. I also enjoyed samples of the pistachio and blackberry macarons by the register. If I lived anywhere nearby, I'd be at Euro Pane several times a week. I live nowhere nearby, but as long as they churn out macarons and that egg salad sandwich, I will be making the trip from time to time.

  • Sonia H.

    Tried the turkey on walnut sandwich and the ham & cheese on rosemary. I preferred the turkey because it didn't taste very heavy despite being turkey but my friend liked the ham & cheese better because it has a cheese layer and the walnut bread was too sweet for her taste. Also had the tuna on ciabbata and my sister loved it. The macarons.. though they were much bigger than any other macaron i've seen, lacked the quality. It is kind of pricey for a lunch with no drinks but the free cookie and the huge portions of the sandwich make up for it. I'd definitely come back to try the egg salad sandwich!

  • J C.

    Egg Salad, really tasty and worth going for (w/out the sun dried tomato stuff they use). However, a recent Turkey sandwich order was really, really, bad. I got it to go and deconstructed at home to personalize a bit (as per usual :-) and it was just flat out gross. An overly thick piece of tough, oddly colored turkey slapped on the bread with a little Dijon in the center. I appreciate that it's real turkey and as such someone could have sliced it too thick but I expect the person making the food to do so with a bit more care, i.e. see that the turkey looked wholly unappetizing and re-select. Bread is very good, their standard bakery items are pretty tasty, and while I would return I would limit my order to tried and true.

    Yes Hi. MACARROOOONNNNNNS! Hands Down best macarrooooons!!!! The texture. The bite. The filling. mmmmm mmmm goood! I hate to say I didn't try the rest of the food because it seems people are raving about that as well! You want macaroons. You want a nice bakery with fun seating. GO HERE! Did I mention if you are a macaroon lover like myself GO HERE! Enough said. :)

  • Stephany L.

    I came here for brunch a couple weeks ago, particularly because I saw so many raving reviews about the open faced egg salad sandwich. I got that and the sea salt macaron, which I also heard really good things about. While both were pretty good, they were short of mind blowing. The sandwich was yummy, but not to die for, and as for the macaron, maybe I'm really spoiled since my first exposure to them was in Paris last fall when I went on a crazy macaron binge, but it was only okay. It was a little chewier than it should have been in my opinion. Overall it's pretty good. Not amazing, but I wouldn't mind going back again (if I were someone who woke up early enough on weekends to actually eat breakfast/brunch... whoo college :P)

  • VP D.

    I forgot how good a real roasted turkey sandwich tastes, especially on a cranberry bread - everything is freshly made on premisses. Just amazing! I am surprised with some reviews saying that turkey was on a dry side. It is not dry - it is just right. It is how a real turkey should be when it is not processed and does not have added fat by-products.

  • Michelle H.

    Ahhh for sure Euro Pane has THEE BEST egg salad sandwich. It's creamy, delicious and unlike anything other egg salad sandwich you've ever eaten. Well, you probably haven't because this one is soft boiled rather than hard and has the most delicious sun dried tomato pesto. Only problem: it's a bit small :( Also, the meatloaf sandwich is sooo good. Meaty by all means and the flavor is incredible. The macarons here are pretty good as well, my favorite though was the sea salt caramel - mmmmmm.

  • Betty L.

    I came here on my way from Office Depot to try these macaron that are so popular on yelp and was disappointed. After having Joel Robuchon's macaron in Tokyo, these pale in comparison. The filling is good but the macaron was tough and chewy rather than melt in your melt as they should be. They were much better after they were left out in room temp. but still not worth the $$ or the hype. I am going to be sticking with the trader joe's frozen macaron 20/$4.

  • Kat S.

    Love the macaroons and coffee. Best combo ever for an afternoon treat. I love chocolates but for this set, I recommend the fruity assortments to go with the cup of joe. Why the missing star? I don't see enough savory pastry variety to complete the selection. Will reserve that star for something else in the menu on my next visit.

    Came here for the egg salad sandwich. Did not disappoint. Saw it on food network years ago- delicious, wonderful, not the typical egg salad sandwich. Served open face and is around $8.00. I can not comment on anything else food related because my mission was to obtain and eat this sandwich. The staff was friendly, the owner was there and she was nice too. Go now and eat their egg salad sandwich and smile while your doing that because you just ate something that was featured on best thing Ive ever eaten.

    Came back for their macaroons and their egg salad sandwich - their signature items. Also had some pastries. The pastries are not so good. Defiinitely come here for the salted caramel macaroon and the egg salad sandwich. I had the egg salad sandwich over rosemary bread. They put a sundried tomato spread over the lightly toasted bread and they top that with the egg salad. The eggs are slightly runny - as if they're over medium. Put together...It's a very tasty open-faced sandwich. I tried more of their macaroons this visit, and I have to recommend their salted caramel and espresso macaroons. The rest of the macaroons are just okay. Of the pastries they offered, none of them have really impressed me to date. I'd recommend sticking to the macaroons and sandwich. Salted Caramel Macaroon: 5 stars. All other macaroons: 4 stars. Pastries: 2 stars. Egg Salad Sandwich 4.5 stars.

    When I worked in the area for the government, I would sneak away with another coworker when she was craving something sweet in the morning on a slow day. They have a nice variety of sweets to choose from, my coworker had the cinnamon rolls to the macaroons. She always offered a taste, not bad, nothing to blow your mind. I do, however, love their egg salad sandwhiches. Not too gooey, got the nice balance of seasoning and mayo and the rest of the toppings. Surprisingly good sandwich. Yet to order anything else since they don't botch it here.

  • Kathy N.

    My favorite place in Pasadena, hands down. Blueberry brioche, sticky buns, croissants, pear tarts, olive loaf, rosemary dinner rolls, open face egg salad sandwich, chicken salad sandwich made with yogurt (not mayo) -- get them all. Good coffee. Fresh macarons, priced better than Jin Patisserie in Venice, and way bigger. And did I say they're fresh? Their pistachio macarons are to.die.for, as well as their sea salt caramel flavor. But, they only offer pistachio on certain days only, so call ahead to check. I'm tempted to remove a star because you can no longer park down stairs in the back, but it's not their fault, and this is the original location and a charming, no-frills Eurocentric space. You'll likely find the French Alliance holding conversational classes inside on any given weekend. I used to live nearby so this was practically a weekly weekend go-to place for me. If you want a more hipster, spacious vibe, go to the new location by the Paseo. You can read all the press coverage about how owner Sumi Chang used to bake at La Brea Bakery, yada yada, but she's really grown out of that shadow.

  • Charlene L.

    My friend and I came to try their Egg Salad Sandwich. But, there were just way too many eggs on it for our taste. Both of us were only able to eat half our sandwiches. The flavor of the sandwich was pretty good though. Their macarons here are also pretty good. I would recommend their Sea Salt Caramel macarons. But, I would prefer Lettes' macarons in Old Town Pasadena.

  • Mary D.

    3 stars for the egg sandwich that I have heard and read so much about. Really?!?! The best thing you ever ate? Hmmm, I do not concur. It's just really simple and easily replicated. The yolk wasn't as runny as I anticipated from other reviews. Looking at the pictures posted here and in comparison to mine, perhaps my eggs were overcooked. But overall, Europane is still worth trying. Stick to the sea salt caramel macaron. =) Now macarons and a cup of black coffee... yum, now we're talking!

    During a long road trip, we decided to stop at a Yelp-recommended bakery instead of suffering questionable road food. It was a wise decision, though I didn't necessarily make all the best choices at the counter. I ordered: * Slice of banana bread - moist, nutty, and delicious * Chai latte - a hit with my husband * Fresh roasted turkey sandwich on multigrain bread - excellent quality, I enjoyed the Dijon and balance of the sandwich and appreciate that they roast their own turkey. * Chicken salad sandwich made with yogurt on black olive bread - the clerk recommended the olive bread, and it was fantastic. It really added to the sandwich. * Chocolate chip cookies - not terrible, but not outstanding either. I probably should've tried the mocha cookie, brownie, or macaron. * Shortbread cookie - good if you like that sort of thing * Loaf of multigrain bread - fresh, soft, slightly sour, nice The sandwiches were top notch. There were many items that looked special that we didn't try. This is a high quality bakery that made our drive more of a gourmet experience and saved us from fast food chain hell. Thank you, Euro Pane.

    Saw this on "BEST THING EVER ATE" on food channel the other day. The famous egg salad sandwich was actually not as good as it seems on TV. It is indeed very unique in its way but yes it does taste a little too bland for my taste. There's really not much seasoning involved except some salt, pepper and paprika. The egg was basically piled with fresh, chopped half cooked hard boiled egg where you can still see uncooked egg yolk. It is actually not a typical sandwich like what you would expected but actually more like a large size of bruchetta piled with egg. There is a hint of tomato sauce spread on the bread of your choice (I chose sourdough) which made the whole egg salad experience less un-appetizing. I think they piled too much egg on it which made it way too hard to eat and hold on your hand. But what's really good is that they have water for their guest and its location. There are many shopping places near by but not too many parking spaces though. Mostly street metered parking only so careful with parking especially near the city hall where the police station is located right next door. I didnt get to try any other pastries but will definitely do next time.

    Egg salad sandwich is a must have - how do they get the eggs perfectly boiled every time? The turkey sandwich is really really good, they use fresh carved turkey, no deli meat here. You choose the bread for your sandwich, all are fresh baked and good. My favorite dessert is the double chocolate chip cookie but all the desserts are delicious. Staff is very friendly, prices may be a bit high for a sandwich but I don't care, it's all great quality.

    I love this place, and am slowly becoming a regular. They have a great variety of sandwiches and it was hard to venture away from the open egg salad sandwich! It's sooooo amazing! I usually get it with the Rosemary Currant bread. YUM! Today I created my own sandwich with all their veggies + chicken + cheese. They readily accommodated my picky taste and even pressed it into a panini for me! What sweethearts! Their desserts are so distracting, calling my name quietly each time I try to order. Those sneaky bastards always tend to end up in front of me sooner or later! Their coffee is also very good! It's strong, bold, and rich. They'll also go out of their way to add some nice hazelnut or caramel sweetener if you ask really nicely :) See you at Euro Pane!

    I was Bushwhacked! (Please note: this review is ONLY for Macarons) I will stick to that story! Coming clean outta the Hills of Granada for a BBQ at a HS reunion, in the early Summer heat! Breezing through to the boulevards of the Colorados, and easing into the locale of the EuroPane! Calling ahead, I peruse that I am about 10 minutes to closing with the traffic of Ye Olde Towne, "IN MY freaking WAY!" I'm a mad man! Nope, that's for another storyline.. Luckily, I spy a mad space just around the corner before the store.. and grabs it, like a moll. see, cuz I "rolls that way." ^_^ Well, actually, it was because my vehicle rolled that way... My first time in, huh? didn't I see this server at the Paulette store in BH? Oops, nope, a different person...phew... "did you call earlier," Yes, that was me, I retorted grinnishly.. I gandered at their offerings of the Macarons, which I had come in for they had 6 different ones, so, I took a dozen.. 2 Each I have only had the Paulettes from the Hills of Beverly thus far, and can only offer a comparison based upon these variables. Paulettes- Appearance - Picture Perfect like models on the runway! EuroPane - Appearance - slightly damaged and much larger and irregular (not a bad thing, as seen with those fanboys and fangirls of ye almighty "Luscious Dumplings" ) yelp.com/biz/luscious-du… Paulettes - Taste - Extremely civilized, tasteful, yet refined EuroPane- Taste - Extremely Untamed and WILD! It's like an explosion of flavor in your mouth! Think POP Rocks! Given the two scenarios that are Paulettes and EuroPane, it's interesting to see the twain in action. While Paulettes is specialized and in an exclusive part of town, EuroPane, is more diversified in culinary offerings and is in a more Populist area. Paulettes has a display and business model tailored for the macaroons exclusively, so it seems each macaroon is fitted for their "Oh, so very chic boxes" and containers and the display, like casino chips in the racks in Monte Carlo, with each and every macaron is within certain parameters. EuroPane, however, the macarons seem thrust forth in the case in a more robust exercise, stacked one upon another. No wonder that so may fall victim to the inertia of another neighbor.. Verdict: In no way, do I believe that the Appearance nor Taste detract from the experience of the EuroPane macaroon, but, give it more life. The fact that the appearance and taste of the EuroPane macaron are SO different is testament to the Character of EuroPane itself. If I were to compare the twain, I would liken them to the City and the Country Cousins! They each have their merits! EuroPane macarons are flavor pyrotechnics, be ready! Like the country cousin, in every manner; largish macaron with jam and filling spilling out massively when you bite into it! Messy! heehee! Don't you love it! So "uncivilized!" ^_^ Get a "little country" in ya! Come down to EuroPane and enjoy the unmitigated form and function culinary delights that await... come one, come all... ye faithful, come.. heehee! Therefore: This is a MUST TRY! Brave the bad parking! the long lines and formulate a plan of parking across the road as another reviewer has suggested. Next: I have to try this Egg Salad Sandwich I am reading about... ^_^ BTW: The price is $1.60/ pc as of this review (5/15/2010) A dozen is under $20 on par with Paulettes prices for a dozen (however, I believe Paulettes offers price breaks with quantity, the first break being a dozen) EuroPane offers no discount with quantity as of this writing.

    I've really been meaning to write this review since I actually visited the place about 3 weeks ago. OK... I admit I followed the Food Network bandwagon & came here after seeing it on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. I personally love egg salad sandwiches & this looked too good to pass up. So I ordered the Open-Faced Egg Salad Sandwich on their whole wheat/grain bread (since I'm on a diet), otherwise I would've tried it on the much-raved-about walnut cranberry bread. It took about 30 minutes for them to bring it out... it felt like forever, but it was soooo good. The eggs were boiled to perfection & the sun-dried tomato spread really added some good flavor to the sandwich. It's the best egg salad sandwich I have ever had & I can't wait to go back again. It's the perfect brunch with all that protein after a big morning workout. Their salmon sandwich also looked really good, which I'll have to try when I'm not feeling so egg-y one day. Also, spotted a new location closer to Old Town... will have to check that out next time.

    Yum!! I'm a fan of egg salad anything so when I heard that this place has the best egg salad sandwich, I was very intrigued. Rosemary bread sounds gross you say?? It totally is not gross at all. In fact, it's the perfect blend (along with this tomato spread) and goes perfectly with the egg salad. It's a little over $7 for this open face sandwich, but the portion is pretty generous for 1 person. I'm not quite sure why it tastes so good since egg salad seems pretty simple. Maybe it's the perfect chilled temperature or maybe it's the combination of the bread and tomato spread... but it's freeeakiiing delicious! Tastes so fresh and clean going down too. I had a latte and it was just decent -- although it's very hard for any bakery to make decent lattes. So it's better than average, but won't blow your socks off. I'm not a macaroon fan so I only had a bite of my sister's salted caramel macaroon... and geez - I guess it's a pretty good macaroon! If you like the slightly chewy texture (chewy around the edges) then this is the macaroon for you. If you like the melts in your mouth type, this isn't your thing. I also grabbed a passion fruit macaroon on my way out and ate the whole thing! Yummay. I noticed that all the negative comments were not about the egg salad sandwich, so uh... why order anything else hmm? :) *This location is much more cozy and friendly than the other location.

    My friend mentioned seeing the egg salad sandwich being featured on the The Best Thing I Ever Ate on the food network so we decided to come here yesterday for brunch to try it out, and I'm so glad we did! We both ordered the Egg Salad sandwich on multigrain bread. It's served open face with sun dried tomato pesto and mixed baby greens. I personally think the tomato pesto made the sandwich. It's really no wonder it was featured on the food network because it was absolutely scrumptious! Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. Try it if you haven't already! They also sell breads and pastries here and most importantly, macarons! They're a little expensive for $1.65 each but I guess macarons usually cost around that much. I love that they're so colorful and my personal favorite flavor was the salted caramel. Minus 1 star though for the dirty tables (bread crumbs everywhere and no one to clean it up) and for the food taking a while to come out. On a side note, we saw another newer looking Euro Pane a few blocks down the street. I'm assuming it's the same owner and they're moving locations..?

    I didn't waste my first trip here, but I did forgo their famous macarons (sorry I'm just not a fan of this treat...oh well, more for you)! The line to order at the counter and the service were indeed slow as I expected on a weekend day, but at least I had no trouble finding a table. Since it was a nice day I sat outside. My friend joined me part-way through my meal. My cappuccino came in one of those old-school diner mugs. For a double shot it wasn't very strong. I had a PRESSED HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH. It's ham and provolone on sourdough. It's simple, with no condiments. You get a wedge of pineapple on the side. I also had the LENTIL SOUP. It's like a minestrone with lots of vegetables, plus lentils. It's good and comes with a side of bread. I had the yummy OLIVE. My friend had a slice of the BEET TART. There are beets, goat cheese and walnuts on this delicious tart. This is a must-try! Of course I also got a few bakery items to go! The OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE is good, but I've had better. The PEAR SPICE CAKE has chunks of pear and nuts and is quite good. But my favorite was the ITALIAN TEA CAKE. Now I've had greasy, dense tea cake before and this was not that at all! This was amazingly light. It's the priciest bakery item offered, but so worth it.

    No weekend is complete without a trip to a bakery or three and this time Europane was one. Stopped by to sample their much raved about Macarons (not to be confused with macaroons, which are those coconut thingies). I naturally pointed to the pink one, which was raspberry along with a chocolate choco-chip cookie. The macaron had the all important delicious "crunch" and a creamy, sweet filling. I could eat easily eat quite a few more of these. The cookie was a yummy chocolate overload and unusually creamy for a cookie. Yum! Doesn't beat my choco chew from Torrance bakery, but still a tasty choice. Gotta come back to try their famous Egg Salad Sandwich!

  • Debbie L.

    Open egg sandwich is a hit. The coffee is good as well, it is surprisingly from Jones. The tuna sandwich was good but it was hard to beat the egg. They are kind enough to also give you a chocolate chip cookie with each sandwich order. What a nice treat.

  • Vanessa E.

    Ok, so I haven't actually been here - a coworker of mine has been set at trying all the places that make macarons (not to be confused with macaroons - these are the french almond/egg whites-based cookie) and let me just say they were nothing short of fantastic. These are bigger than Paulette's - and instead of a jammy filling, they use a flavored whipped-cream consistency icing. The cookie itself is crispy outside, then moist and chewy inside. Amazing. I really liked the vanilla bean, but all of them were a treat for the tastebuds. Next opportunity I have to take a trip to Pasadena, I MUST stop at Euro Pane and pick up macarons. Oh and those of you who are celiac or wheat intolerant, these are gluten free. C'est si bon!!

    This is the original Euro Pane Bakery and it's just as amazing as the first time I had it! The quality of their food (bread, sandwiches, soups, pastries, etc.) has never gone into the 'below average' category - far from it, in fact - and the employees here have always been friendly. I first tried it years ago when I was one of the author event coordinators at Vroman's (a great independent bookstore down the street from Euro Pane), so at that time, we'd order small to large quantities of lunches that customers always loved. Even when going into the larger quantities, Euro Pane's grade A quality never wavered on a single lunch, and I've been a regular customer on my own ever since! The sandwiches to try: - Egg Salad (this is normally served open-face, but I always ask for mine "closed") - Meatloaf (No mayo or mustard for me, but this is a personal choice and doesn't reflect on the quality of their condiments) - Tomato & Feta - Chicken Salad They have a nice variety of home-baked breads, but the one I always stick with is multigrain. My only "complaints" (and I have to be nit-picky to find them) is that the place can get super crowded, but ordering ahead will do the trick with that one, and their phone doesn't always get picked up. Plus, it's a generic automated message that you'll hear, so if no one picks up and you get sent to voicemail, you might actually think you've gotten the wrong number. That right there could be solved by recording a simple 'Thank you for calling Euro Pane' message to add a little professionalism for callers who can't get through, but again, I'm nit-picking. Overall, the place has amazing sandwiches & pastries, and Sumi Chang (the owner who apparently trained at the famous La Brea Bakery under Nancy Silverton) runs a great business that I'd highly recommend when you're in Pasadena!

    I so want to like this place but their pastries usually taste a bit stale, the baguettes are nothing special, and the coffee just OK. Surprisingly, the other location, which supposedly uses healthier ingredients, seems to come up with tastier offerings.

    Recently visited friends in Glendale and they took us to this place. They have the best food here, very tasty and great prices.And very nice people working here. Two things you have to try; the English Muffins and the brownies. We kept going back every other day while in SO CAL, cant wait to visit again.

    I have been living in So. Pas most of my life and never heard of Euro Pane until the past 5 years. Mainly because I love macarons and I had discovered they sold Espresso Macarons and fell in love with the Caramel Salt Macaron. I am not a fan of the Pistacho Macaron but if Pistacho is your forte like my mom, then go for it! Dig in! This bakery and cafe is very down to earth and friendly. We even saw local celebs and there wasn't much hoopla. The sandwiches and salads were fresh and very tasty. Keep in mind it gets crowded and should allowing time to find parking, order and find a table to sit down!

    This really is as good as it gets! Holy Crap. I bake, I eat and I bake some more just about every day, so I'm quite critical when it comes to pastries because I eat them so often and I've tried SO MANY. Well, Euro Pane is probably #1 in my book. I finally made my way into this shop a couple of weekends ago and everything was so so fresh and delicious. I ordered a danish, a pull apart, a scone and one other bread that was creme and berry filled. They reminded me of pan dulce with an English twist. Perfectly dressed- not too sweet, not messy, just right. BUT They have macarons. Not macaroons, MACARONS. O-M-G. I've had quite a few macarons and wow these were ridiculous! Definitely the best I've had so far. They were larger than the one's at Lette's down the street. They were soft and the filling was more of a creme than a jelly. Just divine! I didn't properly store the leftovers so they did harden and weren't as good the next day but I probably won't be storing anything anywhere besides my stomach next time. =) GO!

    Egg salad on brioche is good. Smoked salmon not so much..the bread is a bit dry and tough. Roast beef is good. And they gave me free chocolate chip walnut cookies which in my shameless opinion is an absolute win.

    The egg salad sandwich here really is that good. It comes with sun dried tomato pesto and I ordered it on brioche. It's boiled not too hard so it's very soft but not runny. They're not too heavy on mayo either. And yes, the macarons are nice. No, I don't eat sweets, but my girlfriend does, so be a nice guy and buy a colorful assortment of macarons.

    My friend and I had lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon. Not packed. Most of their baked goods were still available. We had their egg salad open-faced sandwich since it's much talked about and I liked it. I have no idea how many eggs I consumed in one sitting, but it was satisfying. The sandwich isn't fancy, there aren't any palate surprisers, it's just simple egg salad on toasted bread. I had it on their rosemary currant bread which I became instantly addicted to. I bought a bunch of their cookies for my friend and myself. We tried their macarons - good texture and buttercream (sea salt caramel is by far my most favourite) The macarons are $1.65 each and are about 2" in diameter. I returned to Euro Pane to buy more bread and pastries. I purchased a loaf of their rosemary currant, two cinnamon rolls, a lemon bar, 12 macarons. My total was $32 even. I have no idea what anything costs there besides their lunch items and the macarons. I wish they'd post prices.. Berry tea (iced tea) tasted like cherry cough syrup. :( The ladies working the counter are super friendly. I will most definitely return!!

    oh man, i love this place! i wish is was walking distance from my place...wait...no i don't...because i would be even poorer AND very rotund. RECOMMEND: - MACAROONS: fresh, delicious, with vibrant flavor! i love the crispy outside and then the sweet, smooth, creamy inside. when i bite into the chocolate macaroon, it was like a brownie, and everything around me turned into white noise. i loved the.. RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO SEA SALT CARAMEL - EGG SALAD SAMMIE: this sandwich was on the food network on an episode of "the best thing i ever ate" and it is SO DAMN GOOD, YO! they medium boil the eggs so that the eggs have a creamy yolk, so they don't need tons of mayo. we had a baguette, so the crisp of the bread holding together the super creamy sandwich was a sweet pairing. what also makes the sandwich is the sun dried tomato spread which gives the sammie a sweet and salty kick to it. - KALE SALAD: the kale is rough because its raw, but its still oh so tasty! i dig it!

    I came here with a couple of friends on vacation because they wanted to try it out. Came near closing time so some of the stuff was already packed up but my friends mainly wanted macarons and they got it! The macarons are HUGE here compared to any other shops I've been to and the prices are really good. I believe it was $1.50 each one and they were almost double the size of a normal one. The worker told us to refrigerate it because they have dairy inside of it too. Tried their coconut macaron, their raspberry macaron, sea salt caramel one, and a couple others. I like the raspberry the most because it has a distinct flavor from the other raspberry macarons that I've tried around the area. I think it is the way they make it and how it has to be refrigerated that gives it the distinction. The staff was really nice overall because we came just when they closed but let us stay for about 30 minutes to eat, chat and even gave us some free bread but forgot what kind it was.

  • Jessica F.

    My review is based on the macaroons! After convincing Jon L. that he was missing out on a piece of life, we decided to take a trip to Euro Pane to try their macarons. Since coming back from Europe two years ago, I have yet to taste anything that compares to what I had overseas.. until today! I ordered the sea salt caramel, raspberry, and hazelnut macaron ($1.65 each). My favorite has to be the sea salt caramel. It's incredibly delicious. It's sweet, but I don't think it's overpowering. Plus the salt adds a nice contrast. The raspberry and hazelnut were good too, but the sea salt caramel wins. I also ordered a cafe au lait to go along with my macaroons. Coffee and dessert always seem to make a nice combination :) The location isn't super obvious, so keep your eyes peeled for the Euro Pane sign. The interior is pretty cute. Parking can definitely be a hassle. We got really lucky and we parked right outside the store on the street. So brush up on your parallel parking skills!

    I saw Europane featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate Cold. Adam Gertler, from Will Work for Food, was raving about the egg salad sandwich. After watching the show, I added this place on my to-eat-list. Europane is outside of Old Town. Just look for a turquoise store front across from the post office. I came here on a Saturday around 1pm and the place was crowded. Typically, long lines usually equal good food. You basically pick your sandwich and choice of bread: ciabatta, multigrain, sourdough, rosemary currant, cranberry walnut olive or brioche. I had the: EGG SALAD SANDWICH ($7.50) - 4 stars It was served open-faced with sun dried tomato pesto, mixed greens and lemon on cranberry walnut olive bread. The combo of flavors was d-lish! The egg was nicely cooked. It was actually soft boiled meaning the yolk is still slightly wet. The egg salad was seasoned just right and not dense. SALT CARAMEL MACARONS (~$1.50) - 4 stars I wanted to order the salt caramel macarons, but there was none in the display case. Also I was kind of disappointed with the small bakery selection. I was told they only have 1 baker who makes everything, so I'd have to come back later for the macarons. Towards the end of the day, I came back and got each flavor of macaron: sea salt caramel (4 stars), raspberry (3 stars), pistachio (2 stars) and hazelnut (2 stars). The sea salt caramel was the best. The name says it all. You can taste the salt, caramel and cream. Yum! The other flavors were one dimensional nothing special. The other sandwiches look good as well. I'll stop by again when I'm in Pasadena.

    We buy our bread from both Euro Pane Bakeries in Pasadena. So good! Their lattés are also worth trying - nice and strong, and as everyone raves - the egg sandwiches here are THAT good! Was NOT a fan of the brioche, way too eggy and didn't feel fully cooked - otherwise great place! Would LOVE it if they would have little tags for costs of each baked item - and the same goes for the other store, near the post office!

    I LOVE this place. Parking is not that easy. I usually park over by the city hall and stroll over. I'm a big fan of mushroom so I always get the Portobello mushroom sandwich with a berry iced tea. I'm not that much of a fan of their drinks. I love the macarons here. Salted caramel and coffee flavored have been my favorite so far. Also it might just be me, but the macarons seem a little bigger here.

    Egg Salad Sandwich is one of my top favorite sandwich. So after reading all this great comments here on Yelp, I decided to to take my husband here for a Sunday brunch. We both had the Egg Salad on Sourdough. I also ordered this little dessert with a strawberry on top, but forgot what it is called. The dessert was very good. It was warm and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Just perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. When our Egg Salad arrived, it looked very good. That was about it. I thought there was too much egg and tasted kind of bland. I felt like it was missing something. Maybe salt? On top of that, the egg was still very runny and I thought it should still be cooked a bit more. My husband and I bought could not finish our sandwich. I don't think I will be returning to this place anytime soon. Maybe for the dessert. That's about it.

    Curiosity killed the cat. Hype killed the Euro Pane experience, at least the first one. I came here last Saturday after reading all the fabulous reviews on Yelp and hearing how great their macarons were (c/o: Jasmine C. and Ken C.) Met up with a friend that had her share of a sweet-tooth to simply sit and chat. THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: 1. The parking situation can get quite hairy when things get busy. What I would suggest is parking in the lot that is north of Colorado on Catalina. There is a business lot there with a sign that posts the rates, but for the handful of times I've parked there to take a friend out to lunch I've never actually had to pay for parking. 2. The place is quaint and cute and invites good people to spend a good relaxing day there - but that means it's busy and can get packed, especially since the shop is quite small. The lines can take a while, so brace yourself for a wait. SETTING: I walked into the store and immediately thought: "This place is small.." Sure there was a good blend of inside and outside seating, but it still seemed slightly small, especially for the number of customers it attracts. I walk up to the counter and am immediately greeted by a friendly server. The place seems very clean and well-kept, and invites its customers to sit down and enjoy a good brunch or so. HITLIST: Macarons: These guys were the reason I came here. I was actually shocked to find how small they were in comparison with the pictures I saw. I guess the camera shots that I saw were of only the macarons and had nothing to scale it against. I ate a salted caramel macaron at the store. There was a firm almost candy shell to crack into before the moist and chewy textures kicked in. Since it was chilled, the cream in the macaron was really pleasant and delicious - borderline soft-serve consistency. Sweet, creamy, and cool. But the problem? It was too damned sweet. I guess I just don't have the sweet tooth to handle macarons. And these little suckers were pricey! I mean - they're good, but I just wasn't expecting to pay almost $2 a pop. I bought the blackberry, the raspberry, and the hazelnut macarons to go.. only to leave them out in the sun and see them get roasted, soaking in a pool of sweetness that I couldn't devour later. Sadness. Overall? [6.5/10] THE EXPERIENCE: So my friend Steph S. and I sit down and enjoy a good time of catch up talk. Euro Pane seemed like a perfect setting to do that - sit down and chat with an old friend. Although it was busy all around, it didn't seem to intrude on our conversation, which I really appreciated. It seems like a place I'd take people to let them try good bakery food while enjoying a good story or two. VERDICT: It was my own fault for leaving the macarons in the sun to bake, so I will definitely give Euro Pane a second shot. I'm sure I'll be back to try their salty items and other stuff on the menu to pass final judgment on Euro Pane. Although it was hyped to be awesome, I did have a good time, but I'm sure it was more because of the company and conversations than Euro Pane itself. We'll see how it does the second time around.

    I've been here for lunch and to satisfy my sweet tooth. I am a sucker for egg salad, and their open face egg salad sandwich is pretty darn good. The eggs aren't overboiled, and the salad isn't overseasoned. It's definitely a task to eat this without dropping food all over myself (I'm a bit clumsy) but it's worth it. I've also had the red pepper and goat cheese sandwich as well, and the flavors are so good. The goat cheese is nice and creamy, and the greens are always fresh and tasty. For dessert, I like to munch on their lemon bars. They're nice and tart, but also adds enough sweetness so my jaw doesn't hurt. The crust is not rock hard, but also doesn't crumble when you bite into the bar. It complements the lemon filling, and overall leaves me a happy camper. My coworker and I will sneak off to Euro Pane just for these lemon bars. Also, if you like bread pudding, they serve a pretty good one. It's thick and you can probably share it with someone. I've never tried the macaroons, and seeing all these reviews for them I think I'll have to go try some. Looks like I know where I'll be Monday morning!

    I had to try the famed egg salad sandwich, and indeed, it was better than a typical deli egg salad but not quite transcendent. I did appreciate that the eggs weren't hard-boiled to death and that they left some of the yolks more sunny yellow. The tomato jam on the rosemary bread was wonderful, and you definitely get what you pay for: the sandwich is huge and is a knife-and-fork operation. Trying to eat it with your hands would be folly. I also got an espresso (totally fine) and two of their oversized macarons, which had fairly good shells but too much/too creamy filling. The passionfruit macaron was great, while I found the much-hyped sea salt caramel to be lacking in complexity compared to other sea salt caramel macarons I've had. I tried some of my dining partner's prosciutto flatbread, and it also had an excellent base (and generous portion size). All in all, a positive experience, and fast service.

    I went to Euro Pane based on yelp reviews. Service was terrible. I ordered some macarons, a wrap, ... Then the employee got distracted and pretty soon all the workers behind the counter were yapping and laughing and having a great time. And the whole time, I had to wait and watch them before continuing on with my order. I eventually paid and was about to walk away but decided to open my bag to check. Sure enough the wrap was missing. When I pointed that out that, the girl just said, "Don't worry, we didn't charge you for it." Not even a "sorry." I read a review about no labels. They just don't seem to care about their customers. The macarons were "meh". Of course they don't compare to those you find in Paris. But the frozen macaroos at Trader Joe's may even be better. The almond taste and texture seemed to be lacking a lot. $1.85 for one. The breads... Portos in Glendale definietly are better in taste and in price.

    Euro Pane, I really have no idea why I even tried to dine with you. Your smoked salmon sandwich on sourdough bread was pretty much smoked salmon, mixed springs with a ton of mayo. Your tuna melt was particularly exciting either. Lastly, Euro Pane, two pieces of pineapple thinly sliced is not a side dish...

    Amazing! Had quiche and a peach tart. Soooo good. The latte was perfect. The fresh OJ and lemonade were delicious. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Will be going again before we return home to florida. :).

    Really, really loved their meatloaf and egg salad sandwiches, but they are SO expensive for such tiny little things. Despite that, I do think I would eat here again (it's just that tasty!!) I also love that they give you a little bit of fruit along with your sandwich. I love chips, but it's always refreshing to have some grapes or watermelon after lunch. If you're going to lunch with some girlfriends, this is a great place--cute decor, great pastries, and small portions. BUT, do not bring your hefty, football-loving boyfriend here expecting him to be satisfied! Also, the pastries seem to get wiped out quite early, so come early if you want the really great pastries!

    I am writing this review for one item - the vegetarian sandwich. I stopped by hungry and grabbed one. I almost got snarky because it was pricey. When I got outside to the sidewalk and began eating, I forgave the price immediately. Best darn veggie sandwich ever - and huge. Roasted peppers, eggplant and feta on amazing bread. I was in heaven, it was a day's worth of food for me. Wow did i love it. Will defintiely go back for that again.

    Get the open-faced egg salad sandwich!!! Nom nom nom :) I also tried the salmon sandwich on rosemary bread... it was good and tasted very fresh, but too much salmon for my liking. Price is little steep for the amount of food you get... but I would definitely come back just for the egg salad sandwich!

    We eat breakfast here every time we are in Pasadena and we love it! This visit we had French Toast and its crazy good - the cream that was served was so sinful and worth every devilish bite!! I thought we might fall out of our chairs! We started with a strong coffee and monkey bread - also crazy good. My daughter had an egg sandwich and the other had an English muffin - also (yes!) crazy good! Before we left we went back and garbed two more of the monkey bread for the road to enjoy latter. So glad we did! We will see you again next time we are in Pasadena! Can't wait! So so good! PS We have always had great service. Always excellent! Helpful and kind!

    seriously legit egg salad sammich Me and my sister went after we saw it featured on "best thing I ever date." after my experience at umami, i was a little reluctant to be enthusiastic about any of the recommendation- but I went anyway to see what the fuss was all about. The bakery itself was a little hard to find and was located in a strip mall sort of. It was super crowded with not just eager first-timers, but also with locales who had been going to euro pane for a long time. We, of course, has to try the egg salad sandwich. and OMG was it super delcious. Our bread of choice was the rosemary currant (which was the perfect pairing with the egg salad) The egg salad itself were a bunch of soft boiled eggs mixed lightly with a home made mayo and herbs. It was so simple, but so delictable and honestly exceeded all my expectations. The sandwich came open faced and honestly had probably a good 5-6 whole eggs (roughly chopped) in our sandwich. It wasn't too heavy, but each morsel melted in your mouth, and the freshly baked bread was just a cherry on top. The only downside was the the sandwich was about $8, but we split one, and it was perfect. I think if he each had a whole one, we would have been overly full. A lot of people were coming for their baked goods and breads. When I come back to pasadena, I will definitely have to try more!

    I hate this place, I truly do. A lot of obnoxiously rich people come here for coffee things, little expensive desserts, and sandwiches I'm sure not even the employees can afford. That said, it's also uncommonly delicious. I can't tell you how often I dig around for change so I can buy some sea salt macarons, (oooh!) or a pistachio one. Good food makes you happy, and I'm positively gleeful when I leave here. The sandwiches are pricey, but they're also delicious. Try to come late morning or early afternoon so they don't run out of the bread you want. If you come in the morning, you're also guaranteed one of the pastries that sell out early. They have these flourless chocolate cakes that I'm not sure you can live without. I don't dislike a single sandwich on the menu. Yes, I've tried them all. The salmon and egg salad are my favorites. I feel like an asshole when I leave after spending fifteen dollars on my lunch (especially in these times), but if you have a little extra cash, salud. Sometimes you can find parking in front of the bakery, sometimes on Mentor. There is also parking in their lot that is upstairs just off Mentor (in the afternoons it'll cost you a dollar, though). Also, ironically, the stretch of restaurants around Euro Pane attract a lot of homeless people, so I really feel like an asshole when I leave here. I hate this place.

    I really enjoyed this place. I tried to get the egg salad sandwich, but alas I was too early. Instead I ordered a coffee, hazlenut macaroons, quiche Lorraine and an assortment of pastries. The quiche was oniony, but I hate onions. The quiche was perfectly seasoned and done up well. The cinnamon bun was really good. Its way better than cinnabun. The bun was slightly chewy, but still soft. It had a vanilla-y flavor to it...probably because the sugar on top was slightly caramelized like creamed brulee. Would definitely recommend this place. Oh yeah AND its dog friendly.

    Came here for dessert because of the yelp reviews. Was eyeing the french macaroons but I've never been a real fan. I like the traditional coconut macaroons. Tried a brownie, blueberry tart, blueberry coffee cake? and a scone. My favorite was the blueberry tart. Brownie was pretty good but super rich. After I left, a friend commented about the egg salad sandwich. So after watching the Lakers lose miserably at game 4 in the playoffs, I decided to go back for lunch. They had samples of french macaroons at the counter. Tried the chocolate and pistachio. Still prefer the traditional coconut ones but they were pretty good!!! I liked the chocolate more than the pistachio. I ordered the popular Euro Pane egg salad sandwich and an Arnold Palmer. The Arnold Palmer was super tart but had a really good flavor. The egg salad sandwich was very delicious indeed with it's big chunks of egg and creaminess. However, I'd prefer an egg salad sandwich from Bakesale Bettys in Berkeley/Oakland!!! (DROOL)

    Absolutely, positively one of the best bakeries in Pasadena. I've only had their breads and one tart. It's the pear tart and it's the best pear tart I have ever had. Delectably delicious. The crust is flaky, crunchy, buttery and the pears are tender, slightly sweet and too just die for. Just remember this and repeat after me. Pear Tart, Pear Tart, Pear Tart = Pure Goodness. Again!

    Kaylie D. and I came here for lunch. We were in the mood for sandwiches and macaroons and these two are Euro Pane's specialty. I got the meatloaf sandwich on walnut cranberry bread and a side of zuchinni bread. Kaylie D. got the salmon sandwich and the infamous sea salt caramel macaroon. My meatloaf sandwich was pretty good! I think it has to do with the great combination of the tasty walnut cranberry bread, fresh tomatoes, greens, dijon mustard, and the meatloaf. Overall, it was a pleasant concoction. Kaylie D. was nice and shared her salmon sandwich with me. I really liked her sandwich more than mine, except that I thought her salmon sandwich had too much mayo. Kaylie D. and I shared the zuchinni bread and we unanimously agreed that it was too cheesy. Saving the best for last, we finished our meal with the sea salt caramel macaroon. It was definitely one of the best macaroon I ever had - E.V.E.R. Overall, 5 stars for the macaroon and 3.5 stars for the sandwiches. Note: They have parking that costs $1 for 1 hour validation

    When life gives you lemons, make lemon bars. Lemon bars are so good. SO GOOD. Any place that makes them, I've tried; Euro Pane's is one of the best. I ordered a lemon bar and turkey sandwich, and I practically finished the lemon bar before I even looked at my sandwich. Turkey sandwich was a little dry, but pretty tasty otherwise. I did envy the egg salad sandwich everyone else seemed to be having. Next time, it shall be mine. Tips: Don't forget to bus your tray.

  • Monte L.

    My ultimate favorite for macaroons. To this day, I have not had any other macaroon that can been Euro Pane's! My top selection is their sea salt caramel. They put just the right amount of salt with the right size for the price you pay and it's complemented with the right balance of a brittle outer shell with a soft and chewy inside that goes perfectly with a cup of hot black coffee, preferably the Madison blend from Jones! I also love their other flavors like coffee, pistachio and all of their other flavors that I can't remember at the moment. If you want to try and be daring, GO FOR IT, you won't regret it. They execute their quality the same way across their macaroons and won't go skimpy on you.

  • Clara K.

    my friend and i split two sandwiches, a bag of chips, and a sea salt caramel macaron for lunch. prices are high for smallish portions... our lunch was over $20. they were out of ciabatta, so we tried the famed egg salad sandwich on sourdough and the salmon sandwich on baguette. while the egg salad was good, with large chunks of soft boiled eggs and tangy sundried tomato spread, i felt it was missing something, such as something crunchy to provide textural contrast perhaps. the salmon sandwich was a bit simplistic, consisting of slabs of smoked salmon, greens and a little bit of goat cheese spread, but not nearly enough goat cheese to make its presence known alongside the smoked salmon. the macaron was amazing... but we were definitely underwhelmed by the sandwiches. i do want to go back to try their lemon bars and croissants. we easily found free street parking on a sunday afternoon.

    i love macaroons. yum yum yum and these are mouth watering. -pistachio flavor good -salted caramel is my favorite and unlike the other location, it seems that this location has more salted caramel at all times of the day Egg salad sandwhich is amazing. Almost Toast is yumyum yum good!!! It so good that i try to save some for my roommate but end up eating it before i get out of the door this is an amazing place to come and just have lunch with a friend and chill. The atmosphere reminds me of EUROPE in a way, busy bakery shop, but chill environment to enjoy someone company. ON a sunny day it is an amazing place to sit outside read a book while eat lunch :D ooh parking is a TAD TOUGH... and having a one way street by it makes it more trickier. Going EARLIER IN the AM or later during the day, off peak time lessens that frustration of parking and of of ..... fighting for a place to sit

    GREAT SANDWICH PLACE. I have had the egg salad sandwich - must I say it is DELICIOUS. If I could eat at this place for lunch everyday, I would. It is an open faced sandwich with lots of egg and deliciousness. I recommend getting this on olive bread. SO delicious. I have also had the tomato and feta as well. Highly recommended if you really like feta - they put a lot. Very delicious because I'm a HUGE cheese lover. I've had the Arnold Palmer - it's like a mixed berry iced tea with lemonade I haven't gotten around to eating the quiches and other food, but a lot of the other customers get them. For dessert I recommend the macarons - they're not too sweet and they're not super pricey. They also have the other location a couple blocks down, which I recommend to because it's bigger and I believe they have more stuff.

    The open-faced egg salad sandwich lived up to the hype! Insanely delicious. Large chunks of medium-boiled egg, arugula, and tomato pesto on rosemary currant bread. I didn't know which kind of bread I wanted, and the lady taking my order told me that rosemary currant is the most popular. Delicious sandwich. I'm a petite girl, and ate the whole thing ... though it would have been better to split it with another person. There was probably four eggs in there. Oh well, who cares? Sooo good. I was a little confused if I should just get up and leave my plate at the table. I watched others and figured it out: walk to the kitchen, leave your plates/knives/forks etc in a big grey basin by the kitchen door. There's a self-serve water pitcher by the door. Fill a cup to wash down the sandwich, pick up one of the free weeklies by the door. I picked up and read a copy of the LA Weekly while eating my egg salad sandwich. I had a pleasant I-am-there moment when I came across their recommendation for Euro Pane and the sandwich. I've also had fantastic macarons (MACARONS, people!! Not macaroons!) from there in the past. Ordered a dozen of them for a friend's birthday, and they put them in a little box.

    Came here "accidentally" looking for another French bakery. We had the egg salad sandwich which was really scrumptious! It was opened face and quite delectable with its softness! The bread was really fresh as well. What I REALLY enjoyed here were the dessert pastries! My gf and I got a fruit tart and a macaron! Both were fantastic! Would recommend coming here for a nice French brunch :)

    ahhh, good to be back here again. my friend judy and i walked here this morning to get some breakfast, and i forgot how much i missed europane's INSANELY wonderful egg sandwich. i was torn on what to order when i first walked in, but how could i NOT get the egg sandwich after more then a 5 year hiatus???? so i got it. and it was good. really. really. good. i also got a peach tart, and judy got the croque mosieur and a blueberry brioche, which was more like a large, flat, doughy, delish, custard filled frisbee. everything was just as i remembered. the coffee was perfect too! only thing that could be improved was the service. it seemed a little outta control here, the servers didn't really know who got what plate and it was just too busy i think. im glad i live 3,000 miles away from EP, otherwise I might gain 20 lbs from eating this egg sandwich every weekend.

    This is my favorite place to get an egg salad sandwich. The service here can be quite brusk, but when you're this good you're allowed a little attitude. You have not lived until you've tried an espresso and a pastry from Euro Pane, which is unfortunate because you'll die of shock when you realize how much you just paid for your delectables. oh, well. Such is life...

    Silly me, I thought it was on the other side of Colorado near the Ice House. So I parked kind of far from the place, but it was worth the walk. =) I ordered the famous egg salad with the olive bread, and I have to say it was pretty good. The egg needed a little more seasoning and it could have used more sun dried tomato pesto, but it was good. It made me want to try new things. I like that the menu was small, and everything sounded really good. I think next time I'll try the ham and cheese with provolone pressed sandwich. I think that's what I saw. Anything with pressed bread and cheese is going to be awesome. I'm not into sweets so I didn't get any pastries, although the selection seemed small but maybe it was because I came in at 5 p.m. They gave me a raisin cookie with my egg salad and that was delicious. I inhaled that thing! And again, I don't like sweets so that was huge. I think I might get a cookie next time. I highly recommend this place, especially if you want a good cup of coffee and a cookie.

    Macaron perfection! The French macarons here are among the BEST in LA! They're big, crunchy and soft and chewy on the inside...I enjoyed almost all the flavors they have available from raspberry, pistachio, chocolate and caramel... Defintiely worth every penny!

    Their Italian sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. It's got a perfect balance of meat and cheese and crunchy spicy pickles! My husband and I go there every weekend after a workout to get a nice brunch. They always have beautiful pastries and I have never been disappointed. Their apple tart is one of the things that I dream about when I crave something sweet, and their frittata is a tasty healthy breakfast alternative. I marked them down only because their service can be slow, and spotty. On the weekends when there are a lot of people, you often have to remind them what your order was and they are prone to mistakes. They need to get a better system for ordering, but if you don't mind a little bit of back and forth to make sure your order is right, it's worth it.

    Egg Salad Sandwich was pretty decent. They put lots of eggs on it. It was open faced, and had some kind of spread on the bread that added a kick to the sandwich. Pretty tasty! Also got four macarons, each a different flavor. Unfortunately, my love for macarons was not compromised by Euro Pane's large macarons. What I was at first excited for, turned into utter disappointment after the first bite! If you want fresh and rich macarons, DO NOT come to Euro Pane! Besides my disappointment in the macarons, everything else was alright. The decor of the place was cute! It's definitely a place you can go to for a quick lunch with your friends.

    Coffee! This place does coffee and does it well. I love getting coffee here, have yet to be disappointed. (I didn't just jinx myself, did I?) If you're looking for a great cup, this is your place. Egg salad sandwich is a must try. Great texture, light taste, blended to perfection on freshly made bread of your choice. Personally, I love their sourdough; chewy and doughy. They're sandwiches are really good as well, uniquely flavored on fresh bread. Their breakfast scones, muffins and cakes are super sweet though. I'd order them as snacks rather than meals. But definitely go for the macarons - those are fail-safe desserts. Their sea salt caramel macaron is super good and you only really need one. (More than that you might rot your teeth.) Street parking is a scarce but Paseo is across the street and they validate for an hour and half. Do a little shopping while you're at it and work off the sweets you've just had.

    I can't comment on the atmosphere in Europane as I always get my items on the go. It always seems to be packed in there with all sorts. I've tried every sandwich on the menu now with almost every bread combination. My favorites are meatloaf, veggie & egg salad-- and my favorite bread, Olive. All the other sammies are good, just not as spectacular as those three. I also buy their freshly baked bread by the loaf on a weekly basis. In regards to pastries, I'll just say this-- once I've tried something, any other version of it becomes somehow unnacceptable. It doesn't taste like "the real deal" anywhere else! {sigh} Europane is single-handedly responsible for making me feel like I should be eating dessert on a regular basis these days...

  • Crystal T.

    I had the egg salad sandwich here, and I actually thought it lacked a little kick or salt. Even then the sun dried tomato pesto and the texture was amaaazzinng on their olive bread. So I scarfed the whole thing down anyway. After that brief foray I still give it 5 stars because I adore their pistachio macaroon and roast beef sandwich. I have a love affair with pistachio flavored things, especially ice cream, and can't stop won't stop. Not after these cookies. As for the sandwich, I think it might be the priciest thing on the menu but if you love roast beef sandwiches you'll love this one. Nice thick cuts of roast beef with some mixed greens. The slices I got were nice and pink with horseradish mayo on your choice of bread. I'll be getting the meat loaf sandwich next time and a lemon bar. It's not cheap but if it was I'd be even fatter. I want to get a croissant but my body can only take so much abuse. Maybe it'll motivate me to work out if I can have a croissant.

    The other day, my classmate had Europan macaroons bought by her big sib. I am not a big fan of macaroons cuz I think they are waaayyy to sweet, but i'd still try. I think i had a strawberry one, and it was delicious, not too sweet, just perfect to the tongue :D I came by Old Town Pasadena today and decided to stop by for some ice lemonade cuz it was a heater outside!! I tried the blueberry muffin which looked sooo good. Usually you can tell if a place is good by the most common things on the menu. The texture is crunchy, somewhat between a cookie and a muffin, it was a little dry also. I didn't like the top as much cuz there was too much sugar crumb pieces which made it a little too sweet. I would definitely come back to this place for a sandwich or soup next time. The only thing i wish they had was wifi. I didn't see anyone really studying there probably cuz of that (- 1 star).

    This rating is for the MOST DELICIOUS MACAROONS EVER! Like, best in the WORLD! Also had the heirloom tomato salad and a tuna sandwich on toasted wheat (both very tasty). The only problem with the food here is that there is not more room in my belly for it. mmmm...macaroons... *Drool*

  • Karen T.

    Being that it was my first visit, I was a bit surprised by how dingy the cafe was. I understand that there's a lot of traffic coming in and out of the place, but still. Another thing that I had noticed was the way in which the pastries were displayed in the glass casing. Very sadly, and unappealing. The macarons were in plastic tubs, and not on display. When I went to order some, I didn't even know what was available, and there's no signage. I just found that to be really odd. The egg salad on multigrain sandwich was pretty good. Though, I don't know if I'd ever really crave it, especially at 7.50. When I actually saw them, the macarons did look nice, and tasted great. Much tastier and prettier (and bigger) than those hyped at Bottega Louie. I chose the sea salt caramel, hazelnut, and raspberry. I really enjoyed all three, but especially liked the sea salt caramel. For a cafe with a great reputation, it was kind of embarrassing talking it up and bringing a friend to a dingy, messy, disorganized place. What's up with that?

    UPDATE 6/3/2008 - If you thought the oatmeal raisin cookie here was good, just wait until you try the almond cookie.. wow The lemon bar here is one of a kind.. no joke. this place is in a two-level strip mall, but don't let its location stop you from trying the great pastries inside.. If you're looking for good ambiance though I would walk across the street and one block over to Lovebirds Cafe where the lighting isn't as pervasive

    Yes some of their sandwiches are amazing -- the egg salad sandwich is very good. but IMHO, they are a bit pricey for what they are. Also the staffs arek kind of meh and the place is really small. kinda crammed. Their baked good is nothing extraordinary, but they do carry baguette w/ bacon which i love. It wasn't any good at all but i was happy enough that they carried eat. Their premade sandwiches taste kind of horrid, don't get them! Worth a visit if you are walking around the area and sick of subways.

    The food here is really good but it's pricey considering a sandwich costs almost $9 and you don't get anything with it like fries. You do get 2 small slices of an orange though. I heard the breakfast is amazing so I'll have to come back and try it. Parking at this location is also a hassle.

  • HC C.

    I tried the macaroons, chocolate tart and egg salad. First time I took out the macaroons, so there was nothing wrong at all. delicious~ but the second time I went there to try their famous egg salad, i waited there for over 45 mins. the clerk did tell me that I had to wait for 45 mins to get the egg salad, so i got the chocolate tart sitting there waiting. but 25 mins later, i saw someone came in after me got the egg salad, and the clerk didn't tell me i could order that already! well, then i went to ask him again, he said i still have to wait for ten mins more. ok, i waited. again! another guest came in after me got the egg salad! so after 45 mins waiting, i asked another girl about the egg salad, then this time, i got it in 5 mins! i am not sure it was they really ran out of the ingredients or i just got the "special service"... but i'm definitely not appreciative this kind of service! well, the food was still good, so i give it 4 stars, but i hope this kind of service won't happen anymore.

    The coffee is delicious. Had a latte and was tasty. Going through the little garden they have in front. It's a small cute bakery. There's tables and chairs to sit. My friend and I ordered the egg salad sandwich and the Apple crumble cake. Both very delicious. The only problem I had was the wait was kind of long seeing that they have so many people working in the back. And when we got our utensils, there was food still stuck on it. So I'm not sure how can the plates and cups can be.

    OOh lala...lil european bistro in Pasadena. Check. I've been living in Pasadena for 5 yrs now, and I've just discovered this lil parisian bakery. I'm very happy I finally became a patron here (but sad it took me so long to find out about it!) The place is tiny, but adds to the charm. I went here for Sunday breakfast with about 10 people, and we had to sort of "claim" tables, much to the dismay of others. (Sorry, others!) There are a few tables outside, as well, for those wanting some fresh air. With large windows and a relaxed feel, I fell in love with the fresh ambiance. The owner of the restaurant is too cool. Imagine the most fashionable older Korean woman..with razor sharp bangs and yellow highlights, geometric oversized glasses and a Matrix-like coat, she reminded me of some futuristic cartoon character...she told us she visits France all the time, to get inspired, to learn things, and I believed her. As I imagined how fancy her life must be, she brought out a plateful of colorful macaroons for us to sample...wonderful service! I ordered the egg salad sandwich..this is definitely a must order. It was divine, the runny eggs, the perfect brioche underneath. I also got to sample their fruit tarts...very delightful, and VERY good. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered, and it was an all around good time. Euro Pane will be one of my staple eating places as a local Pasadenian and wanna-be Parisian.

  • Faye G.

    Ehhh? I made a visit to Euro Pane this past weekend and was a bit underwhelmed. Was it because it was featured on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" and I hyped it up for myself?? Who knows, I just know that I've had better. Of course, I HAD to try the famous egg salad sandwich. And yup, it was DELICIOUS! My boyfriend and I also wanted to split the roast beef but they had run out :( so we opted for a pressed ham & cheese sandwich. This sandwich was good...not the best. It took so damn long to come out though! However, this place does get points from me for having the owner around. We saw her checking up on some customers and when some people had a question about how to pack some goodies for a long trip home, she genuinely wanted to help them out. So a definite plus for customer service there. Anyways, if I enjoyed the egg salad sandwich so much and they had good service then what exactly is the reason for the 3 stars? The pastries, my friends, were a LETDOWN. While waiting for our food, we bought a croissant, a fruit tart, and another tart with raspberries in it. The croissant was yummy but I wasn't blown away by it. The fruit tart was a complete miss. It was a bit bland but that wasn't the worst part. There was a hair on one of the strawberries. We didn't worry about it too much though, my boyfriend just picked off the strawberry and ate the rest of the tart. But hold on...what's this? ANOTHER hair on our raspberry tart?! No, I'm not making this stuff up! I didn't even want to taste it at that point...it was disappointing. OH! I forgot to mention that we ordered a lemonade and it was EXTREMELY tart. I get it, it's homemade lemonade, but is it necessary for me to add a couple of Splendas to a lemonade I've ordered? I swear I don't like super super sweet stuff so this lemonade was really tart for me to do that. Let me just say I may come back just to get their delicious egg salad sandwich (which, by the way, was served on THE MOST amazing bread!), but I wouldn't recommend the pastries to anyone. I have definitely had much better at other places. And what's up with walking through the kitchen to get to their restroom? Isn't that against some sort of health code violation?

    After reading about macaroons on Bakerella's website, I was considering making them but instead ended up buying some at Euro Pane. :) It seemed like there were too many steps for me to make a couple macaroons. I mean that's why there are bakeries right? I had no idea there was a little bakery with macaroons on the other side of Pasadena. I bought the sea salted caramel, raspberry, and blackberry. I really liked the sea salted caramel and the blackberry was pretty good too! :) YUMMY!!!!!! Cute colors too. I also ordered a chocolate croissant for later and was very disappointed to see that she gave me a plain croissant. :( Oh well. The macaroons were good.

    their macaroons are pretty good and the size is good for the price, their meatloaf sandwich is really delicious. and the rosemary bread is a must to take home!! Only bad thing, they close really early :(

    4.5 Stars for this place! I had heard about this place when the whole french macaroon craze had started last year and always wanted to try it. Well that time had come and what better day than a birthday celebration. My sister and our friends have been going to breakfast/lunch places to get together for each other's birthdays so I picked this place. It is basically a first come first served when it comes to seating because people usually just order their food and go or just stay to have a cup of coffee with a macaroon. I had ordered the pressed ham and cheese sandwich on rosemary currant bread and oh my was it delicious! The cheese was super melted, just the way I like it. My sister had ordered the egg salad sandwich (most popular) and that thing was enormous. It was so tasty and it's not like any ordinary egg salad, it is literally cut up pieces of egg instead of mushed eggs. They also have half order sandwiches which are perfect for little kids. I also ordered the berry iced tea which is unsweetened which was also good. The macaroons were good too. We ordered the pistachio, raspberry and salted caramel. By far the salted caramel is my favorite! The salt on the macaroon brings out the flavor of the macaroon. The macaroons are $1.85 but they are bigger than the typical macaroon. We also tried some of the other baked goods which were just okay, I've had better. I would come back to this place for the sandwiches and macaroons though. Cute little place on Colorado with outside seating as well. Man... now I'm hungry again.

    My friend bought a box of macaroons for me as a belated graduation gift. BEST GIFT EVER. (I got her a small sampler of chocolates from Max Brenner...which makes us relatively equal. *whew!*) I also vote for the salt+caramel and pistachio as the two epic flavors. Yelp does not lie.

    I am taking one star off for not so good parking. Sometimes you would drive around the block for a while before you can find any parking. This place also is rather pricey. Over $5 for one chocolate filled pastry i would think a little bit too much, but i would have to say that they tasted really good. I also loved their macarons and they are not the easiest cookies to make.

    Have been a Fan of Euro Pane and Sumi Chang's amazing talents. Everything that comes out of that Kitchen is superb.....Breads...Quiche.... Croissants (they get em right here).... after a recent segment of Good Food on KCRW expounding the recent explosion of the Macaron phenomenon in L.A. Euro Pane's Macarons were hyped....so I had to go back and give them a try. ****OUTSTANDING**** DECADENT**** I am hooked...now I don't have to drive all the way out to Paulette in Bev Hills. The ONLY REASON I CANNOT HONESTLY GIVE EURO PANE A 5 STAR RATING is the cleanliness and tidiness here really tends to go to hell in a hand basket right away. I was there recently on a Sunday early morning...the rush hadn't started yet.. Coffee Bar was a mess...bathroom had no paper towels. Yet there were several "gossiping" workers behind the counter that couldn't take a moment to wipe off the spilled sugar and creamer at the coffee bar (not the only time I see it like this so it's not a one time thing)... I will also add that a few of them have less than stellar customer service skills~inattentive & few smiles. :( I do wish Sumi much luck with her new venture Upscale Concept MICHE BAKERY opening soon at the Montana Residences on Colorado Blvd across from Paseo Colorado. I hope that Customer Service and cleanliness are paid more attention to make this New Bakery a FIVE STAR experience.

    My sister bought some french macaroons from here and let me try the salted caramel and pistachio. Really liked the salted caramel, but the salt put me off a little. Didn't enjoy the pistachio as much. Will give this place another try sometime.

    Lunch today: proscuitto & arugula panini on the perfect baguette and a slice of the most decadent flourless chocolate cake. :o) I was torn between selecting that sandwich and the BLT on sourdough, but in the end proscuitto won for the day. lol I did purchase a sourdough loaf to take home... All those baked goods peeking at you through the beautiful glass case make it difficult for you to walk out with nothing. Inside it gets a little loud and crowded, but there are several patio bistro tables and chairs, which was perfect for getting some fresh air and do some people-watching.

    In the book, "The Alchemist", the main character is aided by people on his quest to fulfill his destiny; these people appear at opportune times to guide him. Well, its so interesting to me that since I discovered yelp, I have made a lot of friends interested in trying new places to eat. So now that I have yelp to know about places, I also have people to enjoy them with. I feel like that kid in the alchemist; people have been sent my way to aid me on my journey to eat, haha. Anyhow, salted caramel macaroons are pretty much the best I've ever had, the coffee is great, but really, as mentioned in the main notes, the egg-salad open face on rosemary bread is a hands down favorite. Evidently, the word of mouth is strong as the people in front of me ordered egg salad, I ordered egg salad on multigrain bread at first (but then I was dictated to change to rosemary bread, haha), and the couple behind me as well ordered egg salad but got hung up on the bread. Either way, no matter what type of bread you choose, the different style in which the egg salad knocked me out, and was just absolutely delicious. Overall, a super cool bakery! Love love love it.

    A quick Yelp search revealed that clearly the most popular item is the egg salad. J does not believe in a meatless sandwich, so he opted for the roast beef, but they had run out! He settled for meatloaf on sourdough instead, while I got the famed open-faced egg salad on brioche. It took a while for our food to come out (J peered back into the kitchen and wondered if there was only one woman slaving away), but, as they say, good things come to those who wait. The egg salad was light and creamy, and the sundried tomato pesto gave it just the perfect tangy touch. Although I was too preoccupied with my own sandwich, J really liked his meatloaf, which led him to declare that we don't eat sandwiches often enough. Full from lunch, we wavered on if we should buy any macarons (which now, to me, sounds ridiculous - always say oui to macarons!). I said that if they had any of the famed sea salt caramel ones, we should give them a try, otherwise we would pass. There were none in the display case, but when J asked if they had any, the girl went to the back and brought out an entire freshly baked tray! We decided to get two, and added on two raspberry. We didn't try them until much later that evening after dinner, but as soon as we did, J immediately started regretting that we didn't buy more! He even dubbed the salted caramel one of the best macarons he's ever had - pretty high praise considering I've dragged him around to Ladurée and Pierre Hermé in Paris, not to mention the countless bakeries and shops in and around LA! Next time we go, I'm not even wasting time with the other flavors - sea salt caramel is the way to go!

    This is by far the best place to get sandwiches in Pasadena. Both locations are great, however the newer Lake location has a slightly different menu with a few variations and a little more variety. The veggie sandwich on olive bread and the smoked salmon sammy are soooo nomalicious. Both locations also make a damn good cappuccino. That + fresh pastry = one damn good morning.

  • Danny N.

    I got the meatloaf sandwich, lemon bar, and berrytea and they were all good. The lemon bar was better than lovebirds, and the bread was better, but the menu is smaller. My half sandwich from lovebirds filled me up a lot more than the one I had over here, but there's something that's so right about the meatloaf. I'm a fan and would come back. Minus one star cuz it was kinda messy and I had to wipe down my own table.

  • Nicole D.

    Yum! I didn't have the egg salad. but the coffee was excellent and I ordered an apple tart (amazing, flakey and light and not too sweet) and a i dont even know what it was... it was beets and goat cheese in a pie crust, it was f'ing awesome. i'll be back, oh yes... The only minor negative I can think of is, its a little pricey...and the tables and drink station can be a little untidy... but that's because people are disgusting and don't clean after themselves. There, I said it!

    I confess that I cannot give a fully rounded review of Euro Pane, because although I have visited numerous times, I have only ever had one item on the menu. I, like many of you Yelpers, read about the famous egg salad sandwich and decided one lazy Sunday morning to see if it really was all that great. I think "sandwich" is probably my favorite food group. In general I could eat anything presented as a sandwich and be contented. But when a sandwich exceeds my expectations, I officially become a slave to it. I enjoy a simple egg salad, perhaps without giving it a lot of thought. It's like deli turkey slices or something-usually reliably yummy, but nothing to write home about. This egg salad, my friends, is something different. The texture of it-chunky, silky, cold, and creamy-catches you off guard. The mayonnaise is hinted at rather than globbed on. I could eat it out of a bowl with a spoon. It's hefty without being overbearing. There is still a scattering of yellow yolk present, and it's clear that this mixture has not been sitting in a plastic tub all day. But further exalting this dish are it's accompaniments. The rosemary bread, toasted, warm and grainy, thick enough to sustain the weight of it's toppings (though it's an open faced sandwich, it's essential that the bread be substantial here), is my favorite of the bread options. The arugula is crisp and fresh and adds a slight bitterness along with a needed crunch. The sundried tomato pesto is absolute perfection. I hear the baked items at Euro Pane are good. I know the cappuccino is above average. Someday I might try something else here...but I doubt it. The location is pretty convenient, as it's further East then the parking headache of Old Town. It's a rather small place, but cozy enough to enjoy the paper and a bite to eat. And if you're so inclined to go, trust me on the egg salad.

    Ah.. the elusive 5 star review.. here we go. I met up with a friend here for breakfast at 8:30am on a Saturday morning. This is what I ordered. a) Salmon sandwich over ciabetta bread b) macaroons - pistachio and hazelnut c) earl grey tea - Ok for sandwiches I tend to be extremely super anal. A sandwich bread should have a crisp outside, a soft inside, and the ingredients shouldn't make the sandwich soggy. This sandwich had dill creme with a bitter mix salad with cold cut salmon. A perfectly balanced sandwich, and for breakfast I only could eat half. - For the macaroons. AMAZING. It was so good. It's just.. so good. - The earl grey tea.. just your regular tea packet. I think this is probably where they make a lot of money because a bag of tea really shouldn't cost that much.

    This place produces my ultimate favorite MACARONS (sea salt carmel especially). From Lette, Bouchon, to Bottega Louie, this place beats them all! They say, desserts is stressed spelled backwards. So when I am stressed, a nice little macaron from here lifts up my spirit. Their egg salad is also really good. There is always a long line during lunch hour, so head over at 11:30 to beat the crowd :)

    Wow, the last time I went to Euro Pane was before the expansion! So you can say I've been away just a few years...just a few. One day this week I had a half day so I decided on coming here for lunch on my way home (I work outside of Pas). So I was curious how it was doing lately and yelped it figuring I'll get a sammich since reviewers were very persuasive about their sandwiches. When I arrived and I got in line, I perused the menu and after much back and forth I was gonna order the veggie sammich...or was it the chicken salad sammich? Oh, i forget...i had "decided" on a few while waiting my turn in line that it's hard to remember. However, when it came my turn to order, I flaked (yet again on my decision) and got what the lady ahead of me asked for: the ham and cheese baguette. I also ordered two of Euro's french macaroons (macaroons? they looked more like homemade oreos); one espresso and one sea salt and caramel. Verdict? The baguette was okay; cold and a little bit salty. I wasn't really feeling the espresso "macaroon" but the sea salt and caramel one was terrific. I've never tasted anything like that. OOOOOOh the texture, the flavor, ooooooooooooooh. Oy, I think I foodgasmed. Oh ya, I'll definitely be back for more of that...and maybe after I'll be hungry enough for a sammich.

    I'd heard about their egg salad sandwich on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" on the Food Network. And it was quite delicious. I'd give it a 4 or 5 star for sure. What wasn't delicious? Quite a few things: Service is SLOW. They don't validate parking. And most annoyingly, they have WIFI, but won't give out the password. I asked 3 employees, they said they don't have WIFI, but my computer indicated there was a password-protected WIFI entitled "Euro"... Considering that this place is not cheap, the least they could do is offer their customers complimentary WIFI like just about every other similar cafe does these days. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told the manager is not on the premises except Mon-Fri between 7am and noon. This is the 345 Colorado Location... didn't know there was more than one.

    Yes, but no. Maybe, but probably not. Dang -- I can't decide if I like this place. I like the light-filled room. The long wooden communal table in the center is cool. Soup and sandwiches are pleasingly healthy and fancy and hard to say there's anything wrong with them. Coffee and lemonade are both decent. No wifi or outlets, unless I'm severely missing something. But it's just so... pretentious. The service ranges from mildly Euro-sarcastic to entirely absent. The line for coffee is usually long, and even when it's deserted the bus trays are overflowing. And they have a big display case in the middle that features... whole wheat chocolate croissants. Seriously, whole wheat chocolate croissants. Does the world really need a whole wheat chocolate croissant, I ask you? Does that actually improve on the croissant experience in some way, or is it just some sort of shallow marketing joke demonstrating the gullibility of those health-conscious upper-middle-class women who frequent this place (including your loyal reviewer)? I dunno. Maybe it's time to head over to Coffee Gallery.

    Let me just say, I LOVE the blueberry brioche with custard inside. So soft and fresh and not too sweet. Okay, on to the things I didn't love so much. Macarons. They disappointed. Textually, they were not as soft in the inside as ones that I love (@ Bouchon). Flavor-wise, the only one that I've tried and like is the sea salt caramel. Pistachio, hazelnut and raspberry were pretty sad. But the thing that disappointed me most was their famous open-faced egg salad sandwich. Like, I hate it so much that I would never want to eat it again. I love sandwiches, I really do, so I was pissed I paid about $8 for this crap when I could've gotten a huge deli sandwich for that price. The egg salad was so incredibly bland. No salt. I cannot understand why anyone would rave about this. Only redeeming thing about the sandwich was the rosemary currant bread I ordered it with.

    So here I am staring at my online traffic school page...ughh, I guess I might as well get it over with. I know!!* light bulb goes off* I'll just go pick up some baked goods and coffee to keep me busy!! So off I go to Euro Pane couple of blocks away from my place. I made it barely in time before they close (3pm on Sundays). *whew* It's a cute, little cafe with a simple menu. The baked goodies are all displayed in the glass case..(not very many left.) Picked up the salt caramel macaron, poppy seed twist, and the almond brioche, and my vanilla coffee. I finished the twist before I even get back home. Wow, the twist was so good! Just the right amount of cream cheese baked in the croissant crust. The brioche was generously sprinkled with almonds and sweetened with marzipan..mmm mmm delicious!! The coffee was better than SB's (...and this is coming from someone who has been drinking them for years)..I think I just found my local coffee shop! Gonna save the macaron for later... Everything tasted great!! Not too sweet, perfect amount of flakiness to their pastries. I'm definitely coming back soon!!! Guess I should go back to finishing my traffic school....hmm there is that macaron staring at me...

    My friend came here on a mission - to fulfill her macaroon fantasies she's been having ever since a friend of hers brought her some from France. The place is small. They offer some lunch side items to go including a broccoli salad, some artichoke hearts I believe, among others.. They also serve cute little desserts and sandwiches. Took a quick glance at whatever was available at the window, but didn't find anything that I wanted to purchase, so we just went for the macaroons. What can I say... I don't really eat macaroons, so I wouldn't count on my opinion too much.. but I'll give you my noob POV: They look like an oreo cakester - two soft cookies w/a sugar exterior and cream filling in the middle keeping it all together. They had the taste of a snackwell's cakester. The colors look pretty artificial, like easter egg colors. The raspberry one looked purple, the strawberry ones were crayon pink, the pistachio one was very pistachio green.. not very natural. The taste.. well, the filling was good, I believe it was made w/natural ingredients. It was definite sugar overload with only one bite. Too sugary for my taste, but I'd be willing to come here to try other items. The egg salad looks delicious.

    Euro Pane I have been a long standing patron at Euro Pane and am yet to find a business establishment that serves food that can compare to the quality of Euro Pane! Parking: There is a lot on mentor right below Colorado that is one dollar with validation from Euro Pane. The service: They are always very very polite, but sometimes during the lunch rush (12p.m to 1p.m) on weekends, things can get chaotic. Most of the servers have tried everything on the menu, and if you feel overwhelmed by the bakery case, they can help steer you in the right direction whether you are looking for something sweet, salty, or exotic. The ambiance: I describe this place as the best "indy" hole in the wall ever. The old town location is much brighter and "cleaner" (everything is new, it just opened) but I prefer the Mentor location because it has a very "under the radar" feel to it, and it seems less like business and more like a great place to have lunch with old friends. It is a great place to go and read a book or listen to some music while you enjoy your coffee. The food: Sandwiches: The egg salad is a crowd favorite. It is served open faced with a sun dried tomato spread and they always have the best bread ever! (rightfully so, they are a bakery). The smoked salmon is best on the brioche bread toasted. The sandwiches are pretty large and most can be ordered as a half. If you eat in the store, sandwiches are served with fruit, if taken to go they give you a chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookie (they are delicious) Soups: Soups change daily. The gazpacho is my personal favorite, but they make a mean pozole ( which is nothing like the mexican rendition, it is lettuce and steamed chicken in a savory broth - a healthier option). Soups come with a bread role and are amazing. Desserts: The desserts at Euro Pane are amazing and if you are on a diet you should not even try and resist. The macaroons are in fact amazing, the lemon bars are great, the brownies are almost like fudge, the fruit tarts have the best crust, and their puff pastries are the flakiest and tastiest.

    Brought my Dad here and we each had an egg salad sandwich and shared a slice of pistachio cake. We both loved the sandwich and enjoyed the cake. He had a cup of cappuccino with a double shot of espresso and said it's excellent. Price is a little high but well worth it if you're looking for quality.

    I guess I should have had the egg salad. This place was ok. Had the chicken salad sandwich. Took them more than 15 mins to make the sandwich. What were they doing? Plucking the chicken? Also had raspberry danish which was good albeit a bit hard/old. The real problem was the actual chicken salad. It was very bland. As in "had to add tapatio to taste *something*" bland.

    I LOVE EURO PANE! Whenever I'm in Pasadena, I try to plan my trip around a stop for lunch or breakfast at Euro Pane. Their food is fresh, healthy, and creative. Their service is friendly and fast. Their pastries are not too sweet, but just right -- the European way. I've been going there for years and I'm always excited when I arrive. Overall, a very quality establishment. Highly recommended!

    My pooch has requested to add 1 more star to my review. He absolutely adores the dog biscuits from Euro Pane. I personally love the egg salad sandwich (creamy, running texture just make you want to have more), almond cookies (the BEST I've had, soooooooo yummylicious, blueberry muffins (the BEST I've had, the texture and buttery flavor - I am drooling right now just thinking about it. and blueberry brioche (soft and the filling in there just takes it up a notch). I haven't tried everything yet but plan on doing so in a very near future. That will be my mission.......

    I gotta be honest, first time i had something from here I was not impressed. My gf had brought home a pistachio bundt cake of sorts which had great pistachio flavor but was drier than a los angeles summer day. Fortunately some friends came into town and met up there again. If you like eggs like I like eggs, which is soft boiled with the yolk just right, firmly soft cooked medium but not runny, then you will go gaga over the egg salad sandwich. On tasty cranberry bread with a tomato spread to kick it up a notch that egg salad sandwich is the BEST i've ever had. I don't get to say BEST ever often, but trust... Euro Pane i take my hat off you cook up one mean huevo salad sandwich.

    Only a macaroon review: The CARAMEL SEASALT MACAROONS are a little pricey, but totally worth it in flavor. At $1.65 per macaroon, but slightly larger in size than the average macaroon (compared to Little Next Door Cafe), the first bite is absolutely mouthwatering in dessert terms. There is a soft, creamy, chewy crunch every time you bite into the yummy dessert. A great combination of lightly sweet and lightly salted, you sincerely cannot have just one. The espresso macaroon is a bit chocolatey and scrumptious as well. They have pistachio (have not tried), strawberry, and another berry flavor which are both good, but the caramel seasalt is a MUST try. Parking is difficult here as my experience is generally limited street parking but its worth going around the block a few times. The location is small and quaint, no big flashy signs, a lot of green surrounding the front of the cafe, and it is on the lower level, left of a teal green plaza- there are 3-4 tables - usually filled during lunch and early dinner- for outdoor seating on the sidewalk :), so you can't miss it. They have plenty of delicious cafe foods, plenty of other delectable desserts, and amazing packaged caramels. Everything here is good quality- easy to trust but not cheap in price either. A new location is confirmed to be open down the street due the success of this Europane Bakery location- it is down Colorado, across the street from the new Laemmle Theater (by Islands and Yardhouse). It is more modern and brand new, however, parking seems difficult here too. :x

    ******3.5 stars******* I came here on a hot dry Autumn day...with the hopes of finding an nice sandwich place to cool down too. I ended up finding 1) a sandwich place and 2) a non-airconditioned sandwich place. I must have totally missed the boat when I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on their cranberry bread. I was expecting to write a rave review about this ooh-la-la Euro Pane bakery...but honestly, my chicken was a bit bland and disappointing. The bread was good, but the crust was hard enough to scratch my mouth upon biting it. Overall...the ingredients were all there, but the chemistry between me and Euro Pane wasn't. I might give it another try...I'll choose egg salad next time.

    PROS: Unique. Quality Ingredients. Decent selection of tasty breads. CONS: a smidgen overpriced. expected a nicer, more charming decor and ambiance. underwhelming menu. The egg sandwiches are definitely not what you might expect. It's not egg salad - its literally a bunch of seemingly over-easy eggs over some mixed greens on your choice of bread. But tasty - especially thanks to their sun-dried tomato pesto, which is delicious. The chicken salad sandwich was disappointing. Bland. Nothing remarkable to note. I wouldn't mind coming again, but won't go out of my way.

    Stopped by Europane Bakery this morning to satisfy my egg salad sandwich craving. To my disappointment, I was told they had ran out of egg salad and wouldn't have any more for at least another 20 minutes! Gasp! How do you run out of your most popular item on a busy Saturday morning?! So I decided to settle for the Ham and Cheese Sandwich on Cranberry Walnut bread instead. Mmm...this sandwich was delicious! Salty ham with mixed greens, mozzarella cheese, mayo and mustard in between slices of soft cranberry and walnut bread. Another must have are the macaroons with the hazelnut flavor being my favorite. The blueberry muffin was decent but too dense; I probably won't be getting that again any time soon.

  • Teak L.

    Final Decision: Sandwiches were not bad, but I gotta try more items. So the GF rolled up and we were deciding to go to a spot for food. We chose to check this spot out since I had it bookmarked to try. We arrived to a full restaurant a long line of patrons waiting to order. Food Ordered: Turkey on cranberry walnut bread - the turkey was a little on the dry side, but the bread was very soft and delicious. The baby greens and tomatoes were nice, the dijon mustard was also nice, but I think I would have had a different type of mustard for this sandwich. Tuna on cranberry walnut bread - the GF indicated that she really liked it. Raspberry Tart - sweet and tarty raspberries swimming in a sea of vanilla creme. The consistency is almost a slightly soft pudding but tasty. The crust is crispy and flaky, which was very nice but I was not in the mood for it and just ate everything in the center. OJ - the GF said it was more on the sour side but freshly squeezed. As aforementioned, I gotta try other items here like the egg salad sand and other baked goods to fully write off this spot.

    One of my favorite places to have a sandwich in LA. Hard for me to not leave there without having dropped $40 in macaroons and other delicious baked goods. Great baked goods and quality sandwiches. Soft-boiled egg salad in Rosemary bread -- and their raspberry tart and "salty" macaroons.

    Came here with a friend for lunch today. Wasn't really sure of what to get here since basically everything I could barely pronounce. Settled for the open faced smoked salmon sandwich. It was HUGE and looked as followed: there was a ginormous slab of smoked salmon, underneath that it looked more like a salad and all of this was on top of what looked like a thick wheat cracker. As for the taste, the bread was okay, the salad/lettuce selection was okay but the salmon was really good. So fresh and soft, it cut through with a fork. My friend got the Italian wrap. The bread was so hard... not really sure if that's how it was supposed to be, but everytime I took a bite, I felt it shred the top of my mouth. The meat and middle of the sandwich was really spicy. This ain't no ordinary Italian sub sandwich salami spread, this was firey. She seemed to like it though so I guess it wasn't all that bad. Both got Arnold Palmers but they were unlike any other Arnold Palmer i've ever had. It was SUPER tart and more lemonadey than I would've liked. The tea was some sort of berry tea, not your average Arnold Palmer with regular iced tea. For the wrap, my open faced sandwich and our two drinks it came out to be about $23. Service was speedy and polite. The male staff working here seemed kind of full of themselves. Talk about hipster overload. The woman working at the register was really nice though. For an average meal, I'm giving this place four stars ONLY because of their macaroons. I guess this is what this place is made for, and they should've only stuck with them. Their peanut butter chocolate macaroons are simply amazing. As soon as I took my first bite, the only thought going through my head was "oh dear lord, I need more!!" I need to go back and try one of each macaroon.

    This is so far, the best place to find your croissants and pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) among other delicious pastries. It does get a bit crowded and it's sometimes difficult to find seating. The coffee here is quite good. As for their sandwiches, they're all tasty but the open-faced egg salad sandwich is simply the best. Their breads & pastries are always freshly baked - they sometimes run out of certain bread selections. Parking can be a bit tricky during busy hours & weekends.

    I have eaten here on multiple occasions. My favorite thing I like to eat here for lunch is their egg salad which comes on rosemary currant bread. I love the flavors and it's pretty healthy. Sometimes I like to drop in to buy a box of macaroons which are the best in town. They are just the right size and taste delicious. My favorite flavors are the caramel salt, chocholate, and pistachio.

    This review will be for the food, atmosphere, service and location. Food (Egg salad with Olive bread and sourdough bread, Peach Danish, and Caramel Sea Salt Macaroons) 4/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Location 5/5 Look below for detailed information. We came here for a early Sunday morning breakfast because it is one of the few places on Colorado Blvd that is open this early (7am on Sunday) We had the Egg Salad with sourdough bread and olive bread. Personally, I liked the Egg Salad on top of the Olive Bread better! The egg salad is a good portion size. One order was enough for two of us. (They also offer half portion sizes for the entrees) We also got the Peach Danish and the Caramel Sea Salt Macaroons. The macaroons were extremely good. They have a funky name but I trusted the recommendations and tried the macaroon's...they actually ended it up being really good. They were soft and creamy from the inside and a little harder (but not too crispy) on the outside. I have never had a peach danish before but I really liked this one. It was a good blend of a pastry taste and fresh peach flavor! Surprisingly, I saw a number of people come in to simply buy bags of the bread available. Some of the daily breads include, rolls, baguette, brioche, ciabatta, multigrain, olive, rosemary currant, sourdough, cranberry walnut, fruit and nut bread. The cafe is located in a good location. It is on Colorado Blvd between Mentor ave and Catalina Ave, across the post office. It has indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good as well...both helpful and friendly! Because my espresso coffee was not hot enough, I requested them to warm it up and they went ahead and made a new one for me! This place is a popular destination for both people who want a quick coffee and something to grab along with it and/or also people who want to enjoy morning breakfast with their family or simply the morning paper. Egg Salad - $7.25 with your choice of bread Mocha - $3.35 Danish - about $3.85 FYI - FREE regular black coffee refills.

    typical la hipster eatery and i must say i'm quite hooked :) my friends and i were craving sweets and we stumbled across euro pane bakery! i tried a pistachio macaroon and it was SO GOOOD! and i must mention the SIZE is HUGE! i also recommend the arnold palmer! it's a perfect refreshment on a hot summer day! definitely check this place out!

    Euro Pane is great. They have wonderful food and the service is decent. I really enjoy their weekend menu. The french toast is FANTASTIC, the croque monsieur is delightful. I did have to send back oatmeal once, because it is SWIMMING in milk (which is what they cook it in) and I am lactose intolerant. At the time it was not listed on the menu board, but I think they have fixed that (this must have happened more than once). My biggest complaint is that NOTHING in the pastry window is labeled, other than the macaroons. So you have no idea what exactly you're looking at (is that a peach tart or apple???), and you sound like an idiot trying to order something.

    Their food is to die for! My favorite is their chicken salad sandwich, best part is they don't use mayonnaise on it. You will have to try it. Their macaroons are truly the best I have ever tasted! The texture, how they melt in your mouth, just enough sweetness. I was just in LA tasting macaroon at another restaurant and they did not compare to Europanes. Europanes has the BEST macaroons.

    (5)

  • Laurence L.

    Euro Pane is definitely my pain. I had no idea this place only had sandwiches and danishes...no actual breakfast stuff like some scrambled eggs, omelets or bacon. All I had was a croissant and an iced mocha. Croissants you can't uck up, but the mocha iced coffee wasn't mixed very well. Meh whatever. I don't think I'll be coming back here. For the record I hate egg salad anyways Service was good though; the women working were all smiles.

    Speed. And the deliciously fresh food. That's my takeaway from my first visit here this weekend. The line to order was long, but moved super fast, and our sandwiches were delivered to our table before my girlfriend was even done paying. (Yes, I make her pay for lunch. But she made me buy her a new car. I think she wins.) I'm not going to expect this level of efficiency every time, but it was a great way to make a first impression. The food itself made the second great impression: the tuna sandwich on Brioche was delicious. I'd never had Brioche before, which is really soft and semisweet, almost like a milder version of Hawaiian sweet bread. I also had a small pear tart and it was excellent and not overly sweet. I'll definitely be back to sample more of the goodness.

  • Michelle Y.

    The macaroons are to die for! I have tried them all over the US and find that these are probably some of the best. I love the sea salt caramel ones. It's hard to just stop at one and I usually end up eating way too many. But so worth it because they're absolutely delicious. The salty with the sweet juxtaposition is perfect and melts in your mouth! I also love the cookies here. Their warm and perfectly cooked.

    I've been going here on and off for years. Coffee and pastries are first rate. I decided to try the egg salad sandwich after reading all the rave reviews about it on Yelp. Mine was nothing like the photos. The yolks were cooked through and not creamy as described. Bread was good, but the egg salad was nothing to write home about. $7.50 is a lot for just an OK egg salad sandwich. I may give it another try because I love egg salad. King Julian rules!

    (3)

  • Tania P.

    My first time here, I went in and ordered almost every macaroon flavor they had. The most memorable ones were the salty caramel and the pistachio. Sooo good! I would definitely recommend trying those two... My second time here I had the infamous open egg salad sandwich on rosemary. It was delicious, but A LOT of eggs! The eggs were on a some greens and tomato paste. The tomato paste really gives it a great flavor... I also had the berry ice tea which was not that great... and a bite of the chocolate croissant which was delicious! Only complaints are the lack of a/c and the long lunch line...

  • Hazie W.

    I don't even like egg salad but tried my friend's and it was really good! I love the tomato pesto--really added to the flavors. I had the ham and swiss on cranberry walnut. The bread was so delicious and soft! Perfect! The ham was YUMMY and swiss cheese added bite. Fresh greens, honey mustard! Light and fresh, but quite a large portion... one sandwich could easily feed two for a light lunch. The macaroons everyone was raving about were good as well, but limited to three flavors (chocolate, strawberry, pistachio)--and they were good, standard flavors but... disappointing compared to other macaroon-specialty stores I've visited before. The menu doesn't offer a wide selection (pastries, sandwiches, macaroons, drinks) but at least the food is superb :) :) :)

  • Shannon W.

    God, I love Euro Pane. Sometimes, I want to shout it from the rooftops. "I love their bread! I love their pozole! I love the pressed ham and cheese sandwich, though I'm over the MOON for it with a little bit of sun-dried tomato pesto added! I love that they use fresh roasted ham and turkey! I love that their egg salad is perfect yolky-creamy!" This is the best bread you can get on our side of town, period. Fresh, soft, fabulous. They also make some of the best sammies you can find in Pasadena. I always grab my grub to-go, and though I've never had a problem with the service, I can see how others may have. Service people have always been accommodating and polite, if not a little on the slow side. In the end, it doesn't really matter. I would deal with the surliest service on earth to be able to fix my grilled cheese sandwiches on that glorious bread.

    My eyes light up when I saw one of the bakers bring in a tray of caneles. I haven't had a canele since I was in Bordeaux and resigned myself that I would just have to wait until Matthew made some with the silicon molds he bought in France. A canele is a French pastry with custard-like center and a caramel crust, that is specialty of the Bordeaux region. (See my local picture and Bordeaux picture). EuroPane must use the cooper molds because the crust snaps just right when I bite into it. The inside was a little too soft towards the bottom of the canele but this will do just fine until my next France trip or when fall comes and Matthew can start baking! I also recommend the tarts. The macaroon was "alright" although if you go to NYC, have a macaroon at the Bouchon Bakery. Read on for more EuroPane reviews by other Yelpers.

    Outstanding bakery / restaurant! Great unique and inspiring food and baked goods. One complaint: Bought cookies last Sunday and they were very stale. I guess they don't turn them fast enough. I almost went back but had ordered the food togo. Next time I will check before I leave. WHY? Because I KNOW they are the best. One small skip won't stop me from going back! BIG PLUS: great staff who knows how to connect with customer! Good job.

    I'm not gonna lie, I took MJ's passing hard so I was in complete 'feel better' mode this weekend. My prescription included watching The Hangover, rocking out to old school Jackson Five tunes, detailing the car, jogging at the gym, eating greasy breakfast foods all day, and of course Euro Pane egg salad open faced sandwiches. It worked, well sort of. R.I.P Michael and long live that egg salad.

    Get the raisin scone. Even if you don't like raisins, you'll like this amazing scone. This place is great quality for the prices. The freshness and uniqueness of some of the things available are great. Don't just give in to the brightly colored macaroons... try something else and enjoy.

    (5)

  • David M.

    Oh Euro Pane... How we are conflicted. Your food, it is so delicious. Your sandwiches, so fresh. Your french toast, perhaps the best I've had. Your frittata, just what I like on a Saturday morning. Your service... terrible. I don't give a damn if you run out of any item. There's plenty to order and try. Don't treat me like I'm some street urchin trying to order a drink at Sky Bar. Get a clue and improve your service and maybe then I'll start recommending you to people again. For now, I'm not even sure I'll go back. So you see... I'd like us to hang out, but I don't think we can do that until you understand how important service is. /edit: There is one girl there that is consistently nice, smiling and delivers good service. The rest could stand to take some notes from her.

    so far all i have tried here is the flourless chocolate cake and the orange currant scone. Both delicious. I am fussy about scones and think most American establishments have no idea how to make scones. Europane is the exception. Super good food, can't wait to try more.

  • Carlene C.

    My 5 stars only are for the pretty BOMB macaroons they make. I've never actually eaten there and am basically writing this review so that I don't forget that I've had some BOMB macaroons here. My husband brought them home for me and before he could even partake in them with me, I had already taken a bite into each colorful goodness. It's really a must try, especially if you have a sweet tooth like mine! :)

  • Carol M.

    This is a great place for flavorful, healthy sandwiches and not so healthy pastries. :) Their bread is amazing, especially the cranberry-walnut. Be prepared to wait, as the service can be a little slow. Highlights -The chicken-sald tastes delicious but is made with yogurt instead of mayo for a healthier alternative. -Caramel sea-salt macarons -Little flower candy co. caramels and marshmellows -Cute desserts and pastries, perfect for a birthday gift for a co-worker, etc.

    I received a very sweet box of Europane's macarons as a thank you gift from two couples that I shot engagement sessions for. Since we had never been and had only heard of Euro Pane, I was quite excited to try them. Hubby and I were graced with 4 different flavors - Pistachio, Hazelnut, Chocolate/Mocha, Caramel with Sea Salt. They were really good! Perfectly sweet with just the right amount of filling. Our favorite from the batch are the Caramel with Sea Salt. One bite of that and I was hearing "Aaahhhhhhhh..." in my head. Ridiculously good and just leaves you wanting to eat more and more. I did manage to share them with hubby so I was good girl. The macaroons are way better than Vanilla Bakeshops or Paulettes. Granted Paulettes are visually more appealing, but Euro Pane's flavors and texture of the macaron are hands down better. If you haven't been, you need to go and get some. Can't wait to go and try their other stuff!

  • Javier J.

    I LOVE the Macarons here. In fact, the macarons here are something that you simply have to share with anyone you care about. They are so delicious. The time that this place is open though, that's what kills me. I seldom ever am able to get there in time for the fresh stuff. But if I can, I'll do the trek and get a box of these tasty sea salted, lavender, espresso, berry and the best possible treat... CARAMEL SEA SALT! DELICIOUS! Who would have thought that you'd like sea salt on a sweet cookie. The balance of sweetness and saltiness really kicks in. The spot is a little small and while there's a parking lot to the place, the spots can fill quickly as there's a lot of shops here. So parking my be a problem at times, but it's worth the risk for getting these tasty treats. Pick some up before a date and I'm sure you'll increase the chances of the other person not totally hating you or thinking you're a jerk. One of the best bakeries around.

  • Queenie M.

    I only tried the pastries and macarons from this place. The caramel sea salt one was definitely interesting and the others were just okay. I have to say that the shell seemed to be more fragile and flaky though. But they are bigger than your usual macarons. The one pastry we got which I mistaken for the blueberry brioche was just too buttery for me. I know this place was featured on the food network for the best things I've ever ate and so, I think I will try the open faced egg sandwich next time.

    PRO'S: I had their egg salad sandwich and it was very good. (I do not recommend the brioche bread with the egg salad sandwich, however.) I appreciate the warm and friendly service. CON'S Parking is junk. Ambiance and cleanliness of the dining area is uninviting.

  • Cynthia A.

    I don't get to come here much since I live way closer to Clementine, but whenever I'm in Pasadena, I make it a point to visit. The space is small and I don't care to sit outside since some of the sidewalk dwellers scare me. That said, the earlier you get there, the better your chances of snagging a seat inside. The lemon bars are incomparable and the egg sandwich is delish. Get it with the olive bread to give it a little kick. Coffee is strong and direct, the way it should be. The pressed ham cheese wasn't as successful. All the ingredients were fresh and of good quality, but nothing set it apart; it was like a bunch of very good backup singers. There are so many other pastries to try. I can't wait until my next visit.

    (4)

  • Brenda M.

    The open faced egg salad is as good as it looks, just delightful...but when you come back to enjoy it again and get completely ignored by several staff for over seven minutes waiting at the counter it looses its luster. We ended up walking out after we fought for parking and were never acknowledged, not a "I'll be with you in a moment"...nothing. So incredibly rude, I will not be back.

    (1)

  • Mac M.

    Great Coffee, Pastries and the sandwiches looked interesting, though I do wish the egg salad sandwich had a finer chop/mince on the eggs, just too large of chunks for my taste, though i know that is the style.

    (4)

  • annie s.

    Though I've only been once, I enjoyed each and every bite I had while there. The open-face egg salad sandwich on sourdough is warm, comforting, and seasoned just right. Yum. Usually I don't like any kind of yolk that is not thoroughly cooked, but I didn't mind the soft boiled french style egg. My friend who brought me insisted we try the French macarons and we waited until the kitchen made a fresh batch. They were outstanding. My favorites were pistachio and blackberry. Can't wait to go back and try the sea salt caramel!

  • Richard W.

    I'm not normally a huge fan of egg salad sandwiches, but this sandwich is something else. Open faced sandwiches are tough to eat in the first place, so make sure you have a napkin nearby. Make sure to get the rosemary currant bread with it.

  • Ching-Pei H.

    I was really excited when I walked in - Lot sof beautiful bread lining the shelves...unfortunately, we just ate lunch, so I didn't get anything savory...but, I did manage to buy a bunch of pastries! Canales: first off, these things are incredibly hard to find, so just seeing them made me happy! And they did not disappoint - perfect, glistening, crispy shell followed by a moist, tender inside. YUM!! Macarons: on the large side, which was too much for me. nice cripsy shell, but they were a little on the dry side. better than most places, but not what i was hoping for after the canale Almond and Chocolate chip cookies: divine! perfectly baked, tender...so awesome my non-sweet-loving BIL inhaled the almond cookie! Raspberry custard tart, blueberry coffee cake: skip these - the crust on the tart is tough rather than tender, the cream smooth but nothing exciting, and the coffee cake isn't really a Frenchie item, so it too wasn't that great... I'm hoping to make another stop to bring back some canales and cookies to the bay!

The coffee is good too.

    Not sure what all the hoopla is about. Perhaps their lesser baked goods are tasty, but their custom birthday cakes are not. Thanks for ruining my wife's birthday, Euro Pane. Your cake tasted like it was in the dumpster for three days before I picked it up. Expensive too. Should have known better when I arrived to pick it up. The place was dirty and smelled like a restroom. Should have gone to Ralph's.

    (1)

  • Hilary S.

    Before anything else, the reason for my review, is that Euro Pane is dirty!!! I admittedly can't get enough of their delicious food, the macaroons, the chicken salad on rosemary, currant bread, Ahhhhh! I can't keep away but I wish I could. I am a frequent customer, sometimes two or three times a week. For months I would go in and notice the extremely thick dust which had collected on the ceiling fan and the paper lantern. There were coffee drips all over the walls, the same ones for weeks, and worst of all, the dust on the top shelf of the bread display, where they keep the fancy, decorative loaves, which are not for sale, but only inches from the ones which are. After a very long time, thinking each time I went there that it would finally be clean, I mentioned the dirt to the man behind the counter. He was very nice about it. I stayed away for a few weeks and when I finally went back, it was cleaner but not clean. They had brushed the dust off of the fixtures but not cleaned them and the grey residue is still visible. The coffee drips are still there, the back of the computer screen is covered in dust and the back counters are filthy! I have also noticed that there is not a health rating in the window. I write this because I LOVE the food but am truly grossed out by the neglect. I am hoping that if a few people get on board, the owners might find out and finally do some real Spring cleaning. The food is 5 star but for now, I can only give it 1

    I've been here once, and left very unimpressed with this place. The fritatta was lacking of any flavor. My turkey breast sandwich was sub-par. The bread was too hard and the dressing wasn't that good (though the meat was good). The scones are OK. They charge .75 for refills on ice tea. Are you kidding me? And, their scones are not good either. Will not come back.

  • J C.

    Overrated. I tried to love EuroPane, I really did... but I always left disappointed (which I means I gave it quite a few chances). The prices are high, the service is okay, and the food is only decent. It's definitely not bad, but it's not great. My friend's soup took 30 minutes to arrive (and 3 reminders) - all they had to do was scoop and heat it up (said the server)! That said, I really do like their lemon bars!

    (3)

  • J W.

    Enjoyable place, I went in for lunch but should come in time for breakfast. Tried the roasted red pepper and goat cheese sandwich on focaccia bread, which was delicious. The egg salad sandwich was also tasty, but it comes open face so I asked for an extra slice of bread. The cappuccinos are beautifully presented with a leaflike swirl in the foam! Also tried a cinnamon roll and a blueberry muffin but wasn't overly impressed with the two. Overall this place had a great atmosphere and I will definitely come back.

    Euro Pane has excellent food for a reasonable price. I usually order the smoked salmon sandwich with the bread toasted. If I were in a rush, I would not ask for the bread to be toasted. It takes a while since they only have one toaster, at least that's what they told me some time ago. The pastries are also quite tasty but they frequently run out before I can get my favs. Finding parking can be a hassle, but at the end of the day, it's well worth dropping by.

    This is the coolest little Indy coffee shop in the Valley! The bakery items are amazing, especially the cinnamon rolls. Special tip: get the english muffins (they're about 4 inches thick & extremely fresh).

    My boyfriend took me here one weekend because I was craving a strudel (specifically, at a location in Long Beach, but it was too far). Lo and behold, he took me to Euro Pane when we were in Old Town Pasadena. It's cute! Decor wise, it's very cute and light and... just a nice setting to be in. I loved their display... especially of the macarons - they were huge, colorful, and just sitting there looking yummy (I just uploaded a picture of the display). So we decided to get some of those too. We got a strudel, I don't know what it's called, because we asked if they had a strudel and the worker just found one, put it on a plate, and handed it to us (can check the picture). Got one of each flavor for the macarons... (also put up a picture)... I actually really enjoyed the strudel! It was nice, and tasty, although it wasn't as good as the strudel in Long Beach (I'm talking about Mishi's Strudels). Then again, I don't think Euro Pane is known for their strudels... Onto the macarons. They're very nice to look at. But they were slightly disappointing. In all honesty, they tasted... the same. I did like the caramel one though -- that was the only tasty one I manage to like and remember. The rest were just a blur of... disappointment? Doesn't exactly taste "fresh" and the flavor just tasted similar. But overall, it's a nice little cafe place to drop by. I'm browsing other reviews, and it seems like their other items are delish. So if you're in the area, do drop by.

    Hi All.. I have been wanting to go to this bakery for so time now. When I get off work they are usually closed. SO I had the opportunity to go on sunday. I tried the french macarons thats I have heard soo much about. Hazelnut- was ok.. flavor was a little off Sea Salt Caramel- very salty! not so much of a caramel flavor more burnt tasting. coconut- great taste, not a natural coconut taste. more of an artificial taste but, good pistachio- was a flavor more of a sweet artifical taste but GOOD. The texture was wonderful in the macarons! I didnt care for the filling which maybe the reason for the flavor being off. Its like a belgian cream. Over all I may return to try the rest of their flavors. I have had worst! Considering the size,price, and taste I will return!

  • Lauren C.

    Haven't tried the food, from the reviews it sounds amazing. I called to order a cake. First attempt: The person taking my order set down the phone for 7 minutes and 36 seconds while I listened to her gab with a friend. The next time (I tried back a little later, hoping the phone would have been replaced on the hook by then): the same woman answered, I told her that it was me again, and she said: "Oh, OK, what kind of cake did you want again?" Not even a glimmer of concern about her prior rude customer service. Cakes aren't that tough to make, apparently this place has more business than it can handle and it's not all that concerned about getting mine, so I'll take my business elsewhere.

    This was my go to spot to grab macaroons and catch up with girlfriends but all has changed after my experience this past Sunday. I stopped by for breakfast with a friend and we both decided to try their muffins. My friend got a blueberry muffin and I got a raspberry. As soon as we sat down, we dug in and found both muffins to be less than satisfactory. The muffins were almost hard on the outside and had a chewy texture. We decided to suck it up and just eat the insides of the muffin but we ended up giving up, seeing that they weren't worth the hassle since they didn't taste very good. After chatting for about 30 minutes we decided to leave and as I was cleaning up our leftovers, I saw that there was oil seeping, and I don't mean stains, I mean LIQUID SEEPING, out of my paper bag from where we had left the remains of our muffins. GROSS. To redeem my lack of breakfast, I decided to buy a fruit tart to-go to munch on on my drive back. I asked the lady behind the counter to wrap it up for me. She struggled with the plastic box and after failing to close the box she handed me the box, which was still WIDE OPEN, and told me that I just had to take it like that. WTH?! So I asked for another box and she reluctantly handed it over to me. No sorry, no explanation. I know that working in the food industry is not easy, especially since my dad owns a restaurant, and usually I am very understanding of "oopsies" that happen here and there but some things are just NOT acceptable!

    Tried the famous egg salad sandwich was was a little disappointing, it was not adequately seasoned. The macaroons were also ok - not very memorable. We bought a bunch of pastries to go - croissant, choco au pon, cinnamon bun, and handmade english muffin (best item) were all good, but better when heated. Fyi, they do not carry many "hot" items. Also, coffee drinks were ok, not great. The cafe is a little small with tables that only fit 2-3 ppl. Not that much parking nearby.

    Don't let the lackluster Building fool you, they have the best breakfast pastries in Pasadena! They have a variety of French influenced goodies...cream tarts, fruit brioche, chocolate croissants and assorted puff pastries. I personally love their breakfast quiche with a tall glass of fresh orange juice (yum). And yes, the Egg Salad Sandwich is one of of the best items on the menu...its a must have! During the Holidays they make the best pies to order. They are pricey but oh so worth every penny!

    I would love to give this place a better rating but when I came here for lunch, they ran out of almost everything I wanted to order. On top of that, it was self seating so it was awkward standing there waiting for someone to leave. But on the bright side, the place is super cute and the pastries look amazing. I will definitely come back to get a real Euro Pane experience.

    3 Stars because I'm averaging it with my service there! We came here on a Saturday afternoon right before the lunch rush hit! Line wasn't long so we ordered quickly. I got the opened face egg salad sandwich with rosemary bread. My friends who were in line right before me got the same. We sat down and waited for our food. Their food came out promptly but where was mine?! 15 minutes later I had told them mine hadn't come out yet.... 5 minutes later? Still no sandwich... FINALLY! It came out, the lady just handed it to me with no apologies. I get that you're busy... I get that you're popular, but I think it shouldn't be hard to provide good customer service! I finally was able to eat after all my friends had finished their food.... The food on the other hand? The sandwich was good! I love egg salad sandwiches! But because of the service, I don't think I was able to enjoy it as much as I would have liked to

    The macarons are wonderful. Unlike some others, which can be sickly sweet, the salted caramel macaron is just sweet enough and balanced out by the saltiness. I also like the size of the macaron, which is a little larger than most. The caneles are delicious also, vanilla custards cooked until slightly burnt and very crusty. (Think chewy creme brulee. My mom compared them to Thai rice/tapioca flour cakes.) The best pastry, however, is the raspberry vanilla tart. It is much better than the fresh fruit tart because the custard is baked in the tart, and the soft, silky texture contrasts perfectly with the crumbly pastry crust. Yum. I did not like the cream in the fresh fruit tart as much. I love the monkey bread and muffins too! As for the sandwiches -- I had the chicken salad sandwich on rosemary currant bread, and I tried my friend's ham and cheese on sourdough. Both were delicious. Next time I'd like to try the egg salad sandwich on olive bread as well as the frittata. The breads are fresh, crusty, soft, chewy and flavorful, maybe even better than the pastries. They get pretty busy, especially during lunch, but the line moves quickly, and most people purchase items to go -- I didn't have trouble finding a seat. Service was good, and they even took the time to explain what was in each pastry/sandwich. My only complaint is that they ran out of the blueberry brioche. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to come back.

    Egg Salad Sandwich (4/5) - This delicious open-faced sandwich features a fluffy and abundant amount of chopped up eggs on top of greens, sun dried tomato pesto, on a slice of rosemary current bread. The eggs are cooked perfectly and while there's not a whole lot of flavor to the egg salad, the zest of the pesto and sweetness of the bread bring everything together to make a very light and appetizing lunch.

    The egg salad sandwich really is delicious, but I might have to bring my own truffle salt/ olive oil to make it perfect. (Think about it! Isn't it missing something? Truffle!) It has the perfect consistency and texture, to me anyway. As for the macaroons, maybe they were baked earlier in the day and sat in the refrigerator too long because some were soft and chewy and others were hard and crunchy. I've had better macaroons, but the egg salad is up there with one of the best.

    Five stars for the egg salad sandwich. I had to try it for myself, and yes, it is THAT GOOD! It's more than THAT GOOD! Please keep in mind that it is not actually a sandwich. It's an open-faced, fork and knifer. I got mine on olive bread, and it was smeared with their sun-dried tomato sauce, and huge heaps of egg salad on top of each slice. It's not really a mayo... it's magical! Fluffy, creamy in a silky way, and the flavor is drop dead gorgeous. The macarons are ok. I got a salted caramel one, and a mocha one. The filling is much too sweet, but the texture is perfect. That chewy bite is right-on. They are also larger than the ones I've usually seen. Not much larger, but still apparent. Service is excellent! They were so kind, and conversational. Parking was fine for me on a Saturday afternoon, and you'll probably find something on Colorado Blvd. They have two locations, and this one is pretty much across from the Academy theater... and it's on the first floor of a street-facing, two-story strip mall. I've been to this 'mall' a lot, and always manage to find street parking. I think there is also a parking lot in the back (enter through Mentor, I believe). Their other location is across from Paseo Colorado, near City Hall. I didn't go there, because that one would be rough to find street parking, and so you'd have to park in the Paseo Colorado garage. That garage is free for 90 minutes if you get the parking card validated (this can be done at certain spots in Paseo where they leave the validating machine thing out for anyone to use). I can't wait to come back for that egg salad sandwich! It may become a weekly treat! Price was ok, but perhaps could have used a small fruit or green salad on the side... I think $8 or so.

    This is for the egg salad sandwich This place gets it right. They do not over do it on the seasoning. They allow all the flavors to marry well together. It was so good. The trick that I think some people do not realize is the consistency in which they get that egg. They have something in the back that lets them cook the egg through while still keeping it silky and smooth. I have an idea of what machine they use but we will see.... They are really allowing an egg to show its true colors. If you are used to the egg taking the back seat and the mayo becomes center stage, then this is not your sandwich, after-all the name is Egg Salad Sandwich. Euro Pane seems to be really playing with the name, making it open faced and adding an abundance of fresh greens. The sun dried tomato comes together with the chives, and the fresh bread is the finishing touch. Lastly the texture is great. From the crunch of the bread to the tangy sun dried tomato to the silky smooth egg salad, all finished with a touch of chives. This is truly an Egg Salad Sandwich for food lovers.

    I've been waiting to come to this place!!! I came with my friend today, so the food was a consolation for us :( Anyway, I was expecting the egg salad sandwich to be better, due to all the positive reviews... I didn't like it too much, because it seemed so bland, and I couldn't taste the "sour" in my sourdough bread. However, the red sauce on the bread was pretty darn good. On the bright side, my mom gobbled down all my leftovers when I brought it home? Hahha. I think the macarons are AMAZING, much better than the ones from Lette macarons. The macarons did not give me the weird aftertaste, and they're not too sweet! I got a sea salt caramel macaron and a raspberry one. YUM. Park across the street and get a validation from Macy's (they have a thing you can use to self-validate without even purchasing anything). I think it's free if you park for less than 90 minutes.

    5 for the macaroons and the iced mocha. ThEE best macaroons ever. 1 star knock off because they always run out of the macaroons (esp. the flavors mentioned here) and they don't serve breakfast during the week, like the french toast that people are raving about. So I had the egg salad sandwich. It was a bit under cooked and too much. I hardly could taste the sun dried tomato pesto which is a shame. No air condition. Small cafe.

    When we first walked in, we saw a server with an open-faced sandwich topped with a mountain of egg. It piqued my interest--it has to, it's one of those presentations that make you go WHAT IS THAT?!--so I asked the server and you can't imagine how stupid I felt when he said "Egg Salad Sandwich", dur. I took my shame to the counter and ordered it just like everyone else, my man decided to get the pulled-pork sandwich and he later expressed his disappointment that he hadn't ordered the same despite his sandwich being good (just not AS good). We have consistently come here every so often, and stopped by today and saw that the choices of baked goods have expanded (much to my delight, and dismay of my waistline). The entire meal, I kept peeking over to the Caramel Lemon Meringue cake to make sure that there was still a slice for me to grab on the way out (worth every God-forsaken calorie). EVERYTHING is good, and I mean EVERYTHING. You can't go wrong with whatever you order, but they don't label it the "Famous Egg Salad Sandwich" for nothing.

    I'm new to the hood and have been so happy and grateful to discover this lovely cafe located walking distance from my house. The pastries and the staff are great, but sadly, I have one HUGE problem! No liquid sweetener for iced drinks! These days, any cafe that's a step up from your corner donut shop has simple syrup or agave available. Iced drinks are ruined by chunky sugar bits soaking at the bottom... Gross! Making simple syrup costs pennies and will make your coffee drinks much more enjoyable. Especially when paying $3+ Until then, when I want good coffee, I'll go to Jameson, Peets, or another chain.

    I'm not sure what ISN'T GOOD at Euro Pane. Euro Pane has been our go-to French bakery for the past 14 years. My exacting husband wants every brioche to taste like the ones the ate during his student days in Paris, which makes finding a bakery that gets it right a daunting task in LA. Amazing breads, (including their interpretation of crocodile bread from my childhood favorite bakery in Carmel), delicious sandwiches (egg salad is a favorite), savory cheese biscuits, tartes that blow the mind, French style brioche and croissants (no... really!) My advice: Don't be a fool! Get a box to take home and share!

    This place has really gone downhill. It was a hidden treasure when I first stumbled upon it six or seven years ago. I've enjoyed their goat cheese & red pepper sandwich on olive bread countless times... delish. Most of their baked goods were and probably still are stellar (though about three times the size they'd be in Europe - oh well). But on the last couple of visits, the place struck me as really unkempt, with poor air circulation and a fly or two buzzing about. The meatloaf sandwich I ordered was a virtually tasteless slab of greyish air-meat with a few limp lettuce leaves on chewy bread. My bottle of diet coke was super flat. Turns out it was way past expiration. (!?!) Can't complain about their crosstown location (across from Paseo), which is high on the brunch circuit list for me and the hubs. He gets the waffles (just make sure to have a stretcher ready for when the food coma hits) and I the eggs benedict with bacon.... divine.

    I actually came back and sat down inside this time and I'm going to have to up my score a little for Europane. I don't know, I was just a little impressed by the little hipster ladies behind the counter. They were helpful and nice and pleasant to deal with. Also, I'm going to have to downplay the w0rld fam0us egg sandwich because I realized that it was, quite simply, just eggs. Though the way the eggs are boiled, yet still retain some degree of runniness is still quite an intriguing feat. I actually tried a bite of my friend's roast beef and it was really good too. Simple. But good. Horseradish really does it for me. Macarons continue to remain rather unimpressive, though large. Which is nice. I like big things.

    Mainly for macaron and open egg salad Macaron ~ I've tried these following flavors: Their most popular sea-salted caramel, hazelnut, raspberry, and blackberry. First of all, the sea-salted caramel. This is my first ever yelp review. This was so friggin` good that I felt compelled to get a yelp account and rave about it! Everything about this little master piece is perfect. Smooth and chewy outside and creamy on the inside. The sea salt gave it that extra something. The saltiness and sweetness made the perfect combo. Mmmmm... Hazelnut was good also, reminded me of ferrero rocher chocolates. Raspberry is yummy, but does not really distinguish itself as it tastes almost the same as the one from Bottega Louie. Blackberry tasted a little bit artificial, but still good! I'm just a fan. They ran out of pistachio the day that I went, but I can't wait to go back and try it. Open egg salad ~ This was just okay. Nothing too special and even though it's called the open EGG salad, it tasted a little too egg-y for me. It didn't have enough layers of flavors to draw me back to take more than a bite.

    Man.. their baked goods are DELICIOUS. My friend took me here the first time. I've only heard about it through my co-worker, but never went. We had: a quiche, 3-4 macaroons, a cookie, the red velvet cupcake, and coffee. All of which were amazing. I was pleasantly surprised with the quiche. I don't think I was a fan of these before, but I think I am now. We had the pumpkin and goat cheese one, and let me tell you.. the mix of those flavors is AWESOME. We killed that thing easily.. the cookie was pretty good. Very very chocolatey, but great with the coffee. The red velvet cake was yummy as well, and the frosting was perfect. And my my my... those macaroons were amazing. The sea-salted caramel by far is the most amazing. I came back again just for that. And now writing this review makes me want to get a box full of macaroons... drooooool

    For a European this is bread heaven. This place leans towards the French bread tradition. Just awesome to get sourdough and/or rosemary rolls and a cup of excellent coffee for my breakfast. Their take on egg salad is beyond anything else I've seen or tasted. For the vegetarian they have a great kale slaw - portion on the small side - but very tasty. Euro Pane has raised the bar.

  • Andrew S.

    This is my favorite bakery and that is saying a lot as I've got a real sweet tooth--and the cavities/ugly fillings to prove it! The best things are the cinnamon roll, fruit tarts, and drip coffee. I've never had anything that I didn't like but I'm not a big fan of the macaroons, which seem to be popular with the ladies. The egg salad and the meat loaf sammies are really amazing. The fresh baked breads are great so take home a loaf... The staff are consistently nice and friendly despite the hordes of obnoxious middle aged and older clientele that lack manners and often are total buzz killers! The dog treats, which are located in a glass jar right next to the register are much loved by all the doggies that I have given them to. They don't have Internet access for a reason but they have always been cool with me getting some work done on my laptop while drinking refills of their coffee. Some of the customers and staffers alike are very chill and easy to talk to.

    This is the place to go when you want desserts that use quality ingredients and taste homemade. My favorites here are the macarons-more like minature whoopie pies than a traditional macaron. The salted caramel macaron is fabulous, as well as the scones and cookies. There was an upside down pear chocolate cake that I picked up to share with a boyfriend, who didn't even like desserts, and he finished off the piece of cake pretty quickly. Also recommended is the very rich and creamy pumpkin tart that is available during Thanksgiving. Sumi Chang, the pastry chef got her start at La Brea Bakery and it shows. Fortunately she decided to set up shop in Pasadena, and now has a second location across from the Paseo. If I had more time, I would gladly work for free to learn her secrets to baking.

    I just waited 25 minutes to have a sandwich made here and while I waited, two customers walked in and left as they were completely ignored by the person behind the counter. When I brought this up to the counter person, he told me I could talk to Sumee. I hope you're reading this, Sumee, because I won't be back to tell you in person.

    Just had Euro Pane today at their other location and I realized I never review this one. As usual the macarons are great so I would like to give 4 stars for that. However this was the location where I had the open faced egg salad sandwich so many ppl rave about. The three of us that had it that day thought it was just ok. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't by any means a bad sandwich. It just wasn't anything to write home about. Or in this case a review. Hahah.. Even my sister who usually prefer much blander foods thought the egg salad lacked flavor. So egg salad sandwich deserves about a 2 stars. I also notice service here is a lot slower and not as great as the other location. It's also harder to find seats here, but that's not really the establishments fault. I just wished this location was as nice as the other. Hence final star round up of 3 stars.

    I think they put weed in their macaroons because it is that addicting. It's the secret ingredient. It'll make you go back for more. This place actually started my macaroon addiction. I miss you so much.

    Egg salad sandwich. *swoon* I never thought I'd love egg salad as much as this. The yolks were velvety golden perfection and nicely dressed. It's not available until about 9am though, and towards the end of the day it's more haphazardly thrown together. But maybe that's cause it was the day before Thanksgiving. The macarons are delicous, with the salted caramel as my favorite and raspberry/blackberry as close runners up. The best chocolate is still from Jin Patisserie. They're much bigger than macarons generally are, but still maintain their integrity. Oh god, I just used a line from work in my Yelp review. "Maintain their integrity"?? Shoot me. The breads are amazing. They sell by the whole loaf, but you can ask them to slice it for you. Olive bread highly recommended.

  • Debbie C.

    OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS. The open-faced egg salad sandwich here is to die for. When they ask you what kind of bread you want for your sammich, pick the olive bread.. trust me. It's deliciousness. The macarons here are awesome too--the sea salted caramel one, I think, is the best. My appetite isn't what it used to be, and my stomach size has shrunk since I've been traveling, but i WILL stuff this entire thing into my face. It's that good. So far I've tried all the macaron flavors, the egg salad sandwich, and the chocolate+chocolate chips cookie (chewy on the inside, perfect). Everything has been so tasty. Give this place a try!

  • Tiffany H.

    Came here with a friend after months and months of promising each other we would try this place together. FINALLY, a couple of weeks ago, we made the time to come here on a rainy day. How perfect is that, that we came to this quaint bakery to catch up and watch the rain? Anyway, on to the food. What I was most excited for were the macarons, since I've been dying to go to Paulette, and because nobody would take me there, Europane would have to satisfy my craving for these bites of heaven. I bought 7 macarons and one open faced egg salad sandwich, and it came out to be around 21 dollars. The macarons varied in deliciousness. Salted caramel was, of course, a winner. So was passion fruit, but I think everybody knew that. The real champ for me was the hazelnut. Something about the textures of the creamy filling with little bits of hazelnut laced between two fluffy, but also somehow crunchy, pastry bits just became a sensation in my mouth. Sensation like sensational. But honestly, I would only come back for the open faced egg salad sandwich. It is a mouthful to say, and more than a couple of mouthfuls to eat (ba dum tsch) but the flavors and textures in this sandwich worked together in ways I never thought possible. You owe it to yourself to try this. Seriously. Please.

    The minute I walked into the bakery, my eyes were glued on the tempting display of baked goodies. I would have bought them all if it weren't for the limited funds and limited space in my already full stomach. But then, I started to panic. "BUT WHERE ARE LES MACARONS?!" I asked my friends. You see, my friend and I are from San Diego. We drove up to Pasadena in the middle of the night because, well, because we felt like it. We were planning on doing breakfast (at Julienne) and just driving home; however, I've heard about the amazing macarons here at Euro Pane and refused to go back without some. My friend pointed to the other end of the glass display. Oh. They have a little special corner all to themselves. Good. I got 5 macarons which cost me 9.75 (1.95/macaron). There are definitely the most expensive ones I've had so far, but they're also the biggest - OH - and the yummiest. (2) sea salt caramel macarons: the salt really brought out the sweetness of the caramel flavor. I just wish the salt was more evenly distributed on the top. It looks cute all piled on the middle, but it made for some inconsistent bites. (2) hazelnut macarons: hazelnut flavor was a bit muted, but the texture was spot on. Crisp yet slightly chewy with a creamy filling. (1) raspberry macaron: my dad snagged this one when I brought it home. He said it was really good, and he KNOWS his sweets. I really wanted to try their egg salad sandwich, but I wanted to savor it - not force it down. Perhaps the next time when I find myself in Pasadena. Are the macarons worth a 2.5+ hour drive? Perhaps... ;)

    Two words: Egg Salad. This sandwich is amazing. I've never had egg salad like this. The egg is cooked perfectly so that the yolk is ever so slightly runny. I've tried the turkey sandwich here too, and a couple of other things. You really can't go wrong. For desert: If they have them, the lemon bars are definitely not something you should pass up. Also the macaroons are great too, especially the sea salt caramel and pistachio ones.

    My first encounter with Euro Pane bread was at Element Cafe. It was the brioche in the curried chicken sandwich. It was stale and hard. I totally fault Element Cafe for that. Today's experience was filled with nothing but fresh and de-lish-ious bread. Came to Euro Pane after my day out that was to include yoga, tea time, window shopping, and meeting up with friends got cut short to morning yoga and a quickie lunch. Euro Pane was the perfect spot! Order your food, get a number, sit, and they'll bring it out to ya. I saw a few of the yoga students here with mats in hand while waiting in line. I guess we all had the same idea, eh? When we saw the pastries, I didn't want to decide, so I got it all! Cut out the decision making time, duh? The food: veggie sandwich (zucchini, roasted red pepper, tomato, basil pesto, and wild greens on my pick of rosemary and currant bread), poppy seed twist, raspberry muffin, raisin scone, raspberry macaron, a round twist with everything the poppy twist had but with icing and walnuts too, and a mushroom and roast pepper fritatta. To drink: iced americano. They get their coffee from Jones. The friends had the goat cheese and veggie sandwich, feta and tomato sandwich, and blueberry coffee cake. Best sandwich was the feta and tomato. It was a bit salty, but I'm always down for some sodium, so it didn't bother me. My veggie sandwich tasted too healthy for my liking. I haven't bothered with the leftovers yet... I was really hesitant to try the goat cheese sandwich, since just the thought of goat cheese makes me gag. I manned up and tried it anyway. THEY FORGOT THE GOAT CHEESE!! haha! All the pastries were above average. The best though had to be the poppy twist (a croissant shaped into a twist with poppy seeds outside and a yummy poppy creme filling between the twist). I'm not a raisin fan, but the density and flavor of the scone compensated for me having to eat raisins. The crumb topping on the raspberry muffin and blueberry coffee cake was sprinkled with a heavy hand, just the way I like it. Plus points. The macaron should be mentioned because it was on roids. It had a good shell, but the notable thing is the filling. It's oddly cooling when it hits the tongue. It's very creamy and rich. Not as sweet as Paulette, and not as good, but it's better than Bottega Louie's for sure. Coffee was spot on freaking amazing. Jones, I know where you live, I'm coming for more!! This place is big on baked bread and muffins, and scones. Not so much on tarts and other fruity pastries. I'd make a special trip just for their loaves of baked bread. Mmm!! Park on the street. 1-2 hour(s) parking.

    Nothing European about this cafe except maybe the bread. Got there are 10 am excited to get some great egg dish after reading all the reviews on yelp. Was disappointed to find that the first 4 items I ordered were sold out. Was told by the cashier that sandwiches were available. Ended up getting a quiche that was flavorless and cold. Food also way overpriced. After living in Europe for 10+ years this was not what I expected.

    Came here to get some macaroons after my co-worker brought some in to work. They are FANTASTIC!!! We got one of each flavor just to try them all out. The salted caramel, pistachio and mocha are my favorites!! The others were also very good. I've never had a macaroon like this! They are a bit on the pricey side, but they are definitely worth the occasional treat. Definitely will be coming back to try some other things... and to get some more macaroons!

    This place must get lots of requests for their Egg Salad! hahaa...Thanks to Yelp! So that's just what we ordered. My parents requested it with 2 pieces of bread though rather than open faced. I think it's actually easier to eat it open faced! They put theirs on SourDough. It was so good, you could see the barely cooked yolk in the mayo-drenched dressing. OMG, how many grams of cholesterol was in there, I dunno. But I'd go back to eat that same thing in a heartbeat. :)

    It's a short menu but fills a looong craving. We were walking down the street, enjoying the sidewalk chalk festival and car show when we ran into this gem. We wanted breakfast and a cafe/bistro/bakery seemed like a good idea. We ordered the croque monsieur w/ bacon and the eggs benedict w/ lox instead of ham. Simply put (quoting my friend), "I have a panoply of flavors dancing in my mouth right now!" Need I say more? Could it be better? YES! Our waitress rocked! She told you like it is, gave a lot of personality and earned herself a nice fat tip!

    Ah, Euro Pane, the jewel of Pasadena. I never imagined that meatloaf sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches could be fetishized until I tried Euro Pane's versions. The egg salad is all warm, moist, soft boiled eggs. Make sure to get it on the rosemary bread. My friend ate the egg salad sandwich here, then immediately scored multiple goals in her soccer game. Coincidence? She drove back from the west side the very next week to have it again. The owner, Sumi Chang, is a staple of the neighborhood. She originally worked under Nancy Silverton at La Brea Bakery. At least that's what it says in the Jonathan Gold LA Weekly article. You can see a lot of shared La Brea Bakery influences here (e.g. homemade Oreos), but in a lot of cases Euro Pane's versions are better (e.g. the egg salad). As for the dessert case, definitely try the salted caramel macaroons. They are plump and decadent, and the best demonstration of saltiness in a dessert that I've yet to experience. Any of the chocolate items are great, like the flourless chocolate cake and souffle. The quiches and caneles are great, really rich and eggy. The cookies and scones are just okay. I like to stick with the top rows of the dessert case. If you get here early enough on a weekend, check the chalkboard to see if the french toast is available. Soooo decadent. I came here weekly for years and only caught the french toast a handful of times.

    Their open-faced egg salad sandwich is to-die-for. It's SO GOOD. It really is as good as everybody says it is. It is very messy and hard to eat, though, so you'll probably drop some of it everywhere. Make sure to have a fork to pick up the stuff you dropped onto your plate! I've only tried that, sadly, so I can't comment on the rest of their food. Unhelpful I know... Cons are that their prices are a little high for their portions, and they are very small and crowded, so finding a table is a real pain.

    Good coffee, good banana bread, good location = pretty sweet cafe. I can't really say much since I've only been here once, but the service was quick and polite, the pastries were awesome, and the coffee was above average. They also have a cute interior, and outside seating. Considering it was bustling at 2:30 on a Saturday, which is not really breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I'd say this is a great place for a quick bite.

  • Andrea R.

    I'm going to be the voice of dissent here about the egg salad. It's just too bland and undercooked for me. The eggs are medium-boiled rather than hard-boiled. I seem to be in the minority, but I find the smell and taste of undercooked egg yolks to be creepy. (Really, creepy. I also think Tom Hanks is creepy, though, so things that rank high on my creepiness-scale may not do the same for you.) The place itself is cute and the staff was friendly, and I will go back and try something different. This sandwich is just not my thing, and I feel compelled to speak out against it.

    Oh wow...these Macarons are Delicious! Some people might even call them ReDONKulous. I will instead borrow a phrase from Man VS Food and call them MobyDICKuLOUS! yup...they really are that good. I didn't have the opportunity to come here in person but a very kind friend of mine bought me 2 macarons on her latest trip to LA Hazelnut Macaron - quite possibly the BEST macaron i ever had! I liked the size a lot..its bigger than the normal ones i eat in SF. It is also less chewy and slightly more crispy than the ones at Miette (my fave macaron in sf)...and best of all is the perfect amount of sweetness. good balance of flavor...and all around perfect.... Salted Chocolate Macaron (or caramel?) - again, great size and great texture but the sweetness was slightly too much for me. To describe it, first i get hit with a strong saltiness, then i am knocked out by the big sweet flavor..flavor packed but too much for me. I prefer the lighter, more delicate Hazelnut Macaron I will definitely come here next time i am down south.

    Several weeks ago, after visiting the BofA 2 blocks away, I dropped by Euro Pane to finally taste the infamous egg salad sandwich that received so much praise on food network and yelp. I was offered a few samples of which I passed as I knew all I wanted was the egg sandwich. GIMME GIMME. I can't remember the last time I ate one of those things, nevermind having a CRAVING for one, but this was really great. The eggs were poifectly cooked and the crunchy rosemary currant bread was just as good as that lady behind the counter said it would be. Thanks, counter lady!! I ordered the sandwich to-go, and she told me that a chocolate chip walnut cookie is included for free. Yayuh~~ I had a long drive out to the IE ahead of me, and I wolfed down that entire sandwich in no time at all. Trust me, this was no easy task, being that it was open faced and all, but I was thoroughly satisfied with what Euro Pane had to offer. I ordered the iced mocha as well when I popped my Euro Pane cherry, and it was nothing special. I would steer clear of the drinks and save your money for baked goods and sandwiches instead.

    So for Mother's Day, I wanted the egg salad sandwich. Yes, it's good, and better when it's warm and without so much lettuce. The Croque Monsieur was delicious too. Olive bread with chewy edges, succulent ham and bechamel sauce. Good Lord! The baked goods are top notch. The sandwiches and breads are inventive and fresh. The atmosphere is casual. Oh get off your silly diets and go have something tasty. Keep going back until you've tasted everything on the menu. Run laps around the Rose Bowl and reward yourself when you can get around the whole thing. Then go to Europane and have a macaroon. Was that the Atkins diet that doesn't allow bread? Prop the book open, grab a loaf and some butter (or not, but I would!) and take a big bite. While you're chewing, mutter "In your face Atkins!" Your mom won't be happy with talking with your mouth full, but so what.

    We had to make a morning trip out to the Valley to drop off my brother. He rewarded us with a stop by a bakery he had frequented before. Good call by DJ Money Bags! Dang that egg salad sammy hit the spot. It had the perfect ratio. Not too mayo-y not to eggy. And the bread was in a class of itself. This was the best way to go if you don't want anything to heavy but still filling. If you are around town, hit up Euro Pane for a delightful sandwich.

    Rude barista who rolls her eyes and shoots attitude at me when I try to make up my mind on a drink- F*** YOU. I was going to walk out of the place just because of her, good thing she left to the back, I didn't get her name but she ruined this place for me. Sure their baked goods and coffee are yum, but not yummy enough to put up with obnoxious employees, if you don't like your damn job go work some place else ! This place is over packed, over rated.

    Had their sea salt caramel macaron and it was very tasty. Had a nice chewiness texture and a slight hint of salt flavor. Overall a very well made macaron, much better than the last one I had from XT. Will go back to try other flavors.

    I should have braved the line at Urth a few blocks down. In fact, I did after I left this place. This was a "Whoa, how did they screw this up so badly?" visit. I got a tuna melt with a macaron on the side. My sandwich comes, wait what is it? 1 tuna melt with 4 grapes. literally. 4 grapes. In a sad little plastic "shot cup", the kind you used for jello shots in college. At least they were kind enough to give me nicely aged vintage 2013 grapes. Advice to Europane, green grapes should be green, not green with a nice shriveled up brown end. Did I mention there was only 4 of them? Actually, maybe that was a blessing. How was my sandwich? Wet. Like, they didn't bother to drain the water from the canned tuna before mixing it with some mayo and capers first. At least the top slice of bread was good. That sadly dispatched with... maybe the macron would perk me up... it would have, but it was also wet! They gave it to me in a soup cup (I kid you not) and the didn't bother drying the cup first because when i tried to pour out the cookie.. nope, it stayed in, grabbed a knife pried it out, left a nice ring of the cookie on the bottom of the cup. At least the macaron was tasty. The fact that the macaron was tasty would have gotten this to 2 stars. But... the fact that I paid $11.28 for this, back down to 1. I left and headed to Urth.

    It's ok. Interior is spacious and the bread looked freshly baked. Parking on the street gets VERY crowded in the morning. They don't open too late, so you have to get up early if you want the good stuff. I came strictly for the macaroons. I got one of each and my FAVs were the raspberry and passion fruit one. They were about $1.85 each and were quite large. Definitely a lot bigger than at Bottega Louie and Lette's. Service was so-so and I had to stand around and wait even though there was no one behind me. That's the only reason for the 3 stars.

    Oh Euro Pane, you're a pain. Great food, lousy service. I first discovered Euro Pane a few years ago when I was looking for French macarons. I like to think I'm way ahead of trends, as I liked macarons way before they became the new "it" dessert (aka the next cupcake). I like Euro Pane's the best, especially the salted caramel one. One of the main reasons why is because they're a lot bigger than most places. On my first trip here, I asked for one of each macaron so I could try every flavor. When I got to my car to peek at them, I noticed that the girl gave me two raspberry macarons and no blackberry macaron. I went back to let her know, and do you know what she did??? She took the box back, took out one of the raspberry macarons (the bigger one, to boot!), and put it back in the case! She replaced it with the blackberry one and handed the box back to me without an apology. I couldn't believe she put it back in the case. Of course, I didn't touch it yet, but she didn't know that. What if I had done something to it? Plus, wouldn't you think that they would let me keep the extra one as a sign of customer service? Another time, I came with my sister for a late afternoon macaron fix about 10 minutes before they were closing. We waited patiently in line and the girl at the counter began serving the people behind us first. What gives?! I'd give this place 5 stars if not for those 2 instances. The workers I've encountered here have generally been unfriendly and kinda rude. I still want to come try their famous open-faced egg salad sandwich. Their grilled/roasted veggie sandwich is delicious and filling, and you won't miss the meat. Note: this is the original, smaller location. Their new, more impressive location is just a few blocks away near Paseo Colorado.

    in the words of usher.. OH MY GOD i've been dying to try this place ever since I first joined yelp!! they've got outdoor seating with a garden-esque feel to it! and nice open windows which really light the place upt!!.. the new location a few blocks down looks completely different, more modern order at the counter then sit down with your number! water and utensils are self serve! I am giving Europane a 5 star for their MACARONS, the BEST i've EVER HAD... so delicious and HUGE. i tried their salted caramel with divine chewy soft-ness as the center oozed out!... mmmM .. and i also tried their yummy pistachio since they had it out for sampling! i went up to their register probably three different times during my visit and they had different things to sample each time! i also got to try their OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE.. and honestly that was also the BEST i've ever had! TWO BESTS in one bakery? Europane is definitely one of my favorite bakeries now!! their ginger cookie is a fresh KICK of real ginger taste.. so beware! and their arnold palmer made with berry tea and lemonade is SOUR.. i think from the fresh lemons so beware! but it was refreshing, you can get it without lemonade! so my verdict on the egg salad sandwich that everyone RAVES about.. i got it on rosemary current bread.. my friend and i actually did not think it was the best egg salad sandwich we've ever had (don't kill us!) however i think this open face sandwich was still good and unique with the tomato pesto and soft-boiled eggs but i think i'd prefer a hard-boiled egg salad sandwich with a more paste-like consistency. make sure to take your dishes to the back kitchen when you are finished with your meal! PARKING. just get lucky with street parking!

    Overall rating from the items I tried... Egg Salad Sandwich(3): Wasn't too excited about it. I liked how it wasn't drenched in mayonnaise, like the terrible egg salads you see in grocery store delis. But this egg salad had nothing. It was just hardboiled eggs, with a light sprinkling of chives. It tasted quite bland, and needed something more--capers maybe, some shallots, vinegar, some fines herbs. There were some egg shells in my sandwich as well. I also didn't care for the tomato paste on the bread. I don't think it went very well with the delicate egg salad. Smoked Salmon Flatbread (4): A flatbread topped with mixed greens, smoked salmon, paper-thin red onion, and mustard creme fraiche. The smoked salmon was truly delicious and the best I've had. However, the thing that kept the sandwich from being absolutely spectacular were the greens. They were undressed and bland. Please put a vinaigrette on it or something! Blueberry Brioche (5): Not really a "brioche." It looks like a pita bread studded with blueberries, and it tastes like a bread pudding. Very good Macarons (4.5): Crispy exterior and chewy texture. I've tried blackberry, passionfruit, and salted caramel. Didn't care much for the salted caramel. It wasn't very intense, but then again, none of their macarons have very intense flavors. However, I do prefer the fruit-flavored ones better. The passionfruit macaron was very aromatic, and my favorite. They do need to work on making the flavors more intense though. I've had macarons back in the Bay Area that tasted intensely of whatever fruit flavor it was advertising. However, Europane does make better textured macarons than what I've had before. Anyway, to get a more intense flavor for the fruit macarons, I would recommend using a fruit curd instead of buttercream, which has a duller flavor. Breads (5): Wonderful French bread. Hard to find if you don't have a French bakery around. Apple Galette (5): Buttery, crumbly, shortbread textured crust with apple-cinnamon goodness Puff pastry peach tart (5): Beautiful looking fruit tart with slices of peaches roasted to golden brown perfection. The puff pastry is just divine. Plain croissant (5): Buttery, flaky croissant to the core. A true rarity in this world where the most ubiquitous croissants are usually the soggy waste-of-flour and butter Costco monstrosities (and an insult to French patisserie) Raspberry danish (5): Another flaky pastry, this time filled with tart raspberry jam. Ice coffee (2): Terrible. Tasted like they brewed coffee hot then refrigerated it. It has a funk to it. The only way to brew ice coffee is cold-brewed. (Unless you're making Vietnamese iced coffee). Another pet peeve I had was at the smaller Europane, where they did not have clear syrup. (The larger Europane does.) I hate it when cafes/bakeries expect you to sweeten your ice coffee with granulated sugar, because it just doesn't dissolve! Starbucks seems like the only cafe that fully understands this. Average (with coffee): 4.35 Average (without coffee): 4.61 I will take out the coffee, since that really isn't their thing and skews the average. So...I will round that up to a 5.

    This place was amazing!! The server, Jill, is super nice and friendly. She even gave me a sample of a pastry I was eyeing. Egg sandwich: Was yummy! If you like egg sandwiches, you MUST try this one! I like adding some pink sea salt and freshly grouded pepper on mine. Chocoloate tart: Oh wow, I didn't know it would be sooo good! It looked like a cookie filled with some chocolate, but it came out to be a smooth chocolate thick mouse texture, which was divine. Highly reccommend it because it's sweet but not overwhelming. Macroons: I tried all of them and my favorites are the pistachio and hazelnut. mmm good! There is also passion fruit, sea salt caramel, rasberry, blackbeery, and coffee. All pretty good. 1.60 each Coffee is good...free refills! Nice cozy place to sit and talk with a friend. Good lighting. Restroom: Is in the back so try asking before you go. Parking: Streets. Convenient parking near the bakery though. Usually range from 1 to 2 hours of parking. All in all, WONDERFUL!

    I came here for a quick breakfast to-go ordering the egg salad sandwich. The egg along with the sun dried tomatoes gives it a great taste. My problem was that I should have gotten a fork to finish it off because I ended up making a mess trying to eat it with my hands. The bonus is that they packed me a little cookie as a mini dessert! Bit of a warning if you park on Green street: it smells and the curbs are a bit high.

    I came here to meet up with some friends, and regret not discovering this place earlier before I moved to NorCal! I ordered the open faced egg sandwich, which from yelp pictures you can tell is VERY eggy. If you like eggs (which I do), this sandwich is one of a kind, and I would recommend trying it at least once. I also ordered various macarons and some desserts, all of which were good. 4 stars!

    By the time we got there around 12:30 on a sunday afternoon before church, they ran out on most of their macarons (which is the reason why we went). So, we got stuck with 8 sea salt caramel macarons! But, i'm glad we got stuck with them, because they were delicious. They're much bigger than paulette's and just as tasty (if not tastier). I wish they had more of a selection by the time we got there, but I guess we came a little late. We will be back to try their egg salad sandwich...and other macarons!

    Egg salad sandwich and macaroons are delish! I wouldn't mind eating here every morning if the crowd wasn't so bad. There's like 4 different people taking orders and I only saw one person making and giving the order, complete opposite I must say. I think the customers ruined my whole experience there. I had to eat my food in the car, which was better than dealing with impatient people who think they are the only one waiting to order and their orders...geez!!! Overall, I would love to know when the customers don't fly all at once so I can enjoy the place and the food.

    Euro pane is an undeniably rustic gem in Old Town Pasadena. Unlike pristine patisseries, the tarts, lemon squares and croissants look handmade with their imperfections, but trust me; they're baked with lots love. Don't judge before you bite - I've had the chocolate ganache tart and it's wonderfully buttery and not too sweet. I have now tried every sandwich listed on their menu, so as I write this I'm digging into a bowl of their pozole soup. Yum! The egg salad sandwich reigns supreme! (Unsurprising if you read other reviews.) I'm so impressed that their hardboiled eggs have a softer, golden yolk. Be careful though--this open-faced sandwich is messy. The first time I ate this, a round piece of egg rolled off the bread, down my arm and into my lap. Yolk disaster! I still ate the jettisoned egg off my lap though... when I thought no one was looking. I'd tackle the sandwich with a fork and knife. My second favorite is the tuna sandwich. Instead of generic relish to give the tuna a kick, they mix in capers with the relish. So clever... My favorite of the breads they offer is rosemary currant. The macarons don't taste or look authentic, but they're still delicious! The cream layer is always surprisingly cool and biting into the cookie reminds me of ice cream sandwiches. Stray away from the blackberry one though - the fruit's flavor is too light to be noticeable through the almond flour. Workers are always super cheery, although a little disorganized when they get busy. But I don't mind! I've left with an extra macaron or surprise cookie before... ;o) I'll gladly choose the 1 mile trek from work to Europane over any of the eateries next door. Although, if you're driving there, you can park in one of the Paseo Colorado lots and get free two-hour validation from the Macy's nearby. (Macy's isn't strict about it at all.)

    Okay okay, so I must be the only person here giving the review of 1 star. But before I explain why, let me just hop on the bandwagon and say that their Fleur de Sel macaron is absolutely delicious. Soft, creamy, and light with a slight hint of sea salt; love it and wouldn't get macarons anywhere else. Anyway, off to my dreaded and scarring experience with Europane. So, one day I ordered the egg salad sandwich everyone goes crazy for here. As I was eating it, I noticed that there were just so many damn eggs in it... my friend even jokingly asked me if it was an ostrich egg! I laughed and continued to finish the whole sandwich. Hours later, my body started to ache and I had a super high fever... it was food poisoning! Needless to say, I was staring at the bottom of the toilet for at least 2 days straight. Now I'm not saying that it's Europane's fault, but I hadn't eaten anything after that egg sandwich. Whatever the true culprit was, I seriously cannot walk back into that bakery without flashbacks. Worst time ever! This really makes me sad though, because like I said above, their macarons are to die for. Sadly for me, I won't be having any until I can get that disturbing incident out of my mind. Honestly, Europane would be a 4/5 if it wasn't because of this, but I guess there's always a lesson learned: Be weary of egg salads on a warm summer day!

    So I actually never really looked at the reviews for this place so I didn't know what to expect. We came at a great time because apparently the place gets really packed during lunch or so. When we got there, it was empty. Everything looks good, they sell a variety of breads, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. I ended up ordering the roast beef because I asked the guy at the cashier what was his favorite. Sounded really plain if you asked me but I guess they're popular for their open faced egg salad which my girlfriend ended up getting. On the side, we ordered 4 macaroons, one pistachio, 1 raspberry, i think? it was pink lol, and the other two was the caramel sea salt macaroons. Everything was good!! The roast beef had this some sort of spread in there, kind of sweet, but man, it was probably the best roast beef I've had in a while. The open faced egg salad was good too but I think the roast beef was better in my opinion. The macaroons were good too but the best ones were the caramel sea salt macaroons. The bill came out to about 20 for everything. All in all, the foods good, no doubt, so try the place out when you get the chance!

    I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is beautiful, it is right on Colorado, and in the beautiful city of Pasadena. They have a huge, antique looking table inside, with accommodating chairs. The staff here is outstanding, and actually go out of their way to assist you, and take your order, and even give you awesome tips on what you should get. I have tried the pastries, sandwiches, salads, and the soups. My favorite sandwich would be the vegetable sandwich on ciabatta bread. The breads are made fresh, and the everything is made that day. The bread is so crispy on the outside, with a wonderful fluffy texture of soft goodness inside. The sandwich has pesto spread, with roasted peppers, eggplant, and tomato, with an addition of feta cheese! TO DIE FOR! I also enjoy their soups. They have about 2 a day, which makes you choose a favorite. :) My favorite is the butternut squash soup, no dairy, but the use of the chicken stalk, makes the soups so satisfying. The desserts are amazing, everything from raspberry tarts, apple crisps, cookies, and cranberry bliss, you will be amazed on the wonderful flavors you will witness by coming here. It you love the European culture, this definitely has the feel of it, as well as the food. You will not be disappointed.

    Yaaaaaay!!! I found a bakery & cafe that I can love ALMOST as much as La Boulange in San Francisco. If you love delicate and classic pastries, sweets, and treats, you will devour all Euro Pane has to offer. A bit small, but so cute. And off the over-beaten path of Old Pas.

    I came by with a friend for lunch one afternoon and wanted something healthy. I loved that their chicken salad sandwich was made with yogurt instead of mayo and there's a hint of dill. You get to select between different types of bread. I opted for the cranberry walnut and it gave the sandwich much more character. It was a light yet filling meal. A few days later a friend brought some macaroons and an assortment of pastries: blueberry muffin, orange cranberry scone, croissant and apple tart to a brunch party. Overall, I was underwhelmed, especially given Euro Pane's popularity. I'd say the scone was a touch dry. The muffin was too dense and didn't have enough blueberries. My favorite was the apple tart, sweet and the crust was nice and flaky. We tried three macaroon flavors. The caramel salt was amazing. There's something wonderful about that combination of sweet caramel and salt. The coffee and hazelnut tied in my book. Texture wise I'd give them 4.5 stars.

    Had the Veggie sandwich here today for lunch on multigrain. I loved that it was not too oily and that the sandwich did not fall apart. The eggplant, sundried tomato & basil pesto were the perfect combo! And of course, you MUST have their macarons before you leave... especially their best-selling sea salt caramel. One of my favorite macarons.. far better than Bottega & Paulettes, in my opinion.

  • Diana H.

    I prefer these macarons over the Paulette ones. Even the ones I had in Paris (Laduree and Pierre Hermes) were a tad too sweet for my palate. The only other ones that I really liked were from Boule but unfortunately that was shuttered. I'd suggest going first thing when they open if you want the full selection of flavors since they run out fast. I wasn't able to try the famous salted caramel but the raspberry and pistachio ones were delicious and impressive enough. The filling was more whipped than what I'm normally used (as compared to more jam-like) but perhaps this allowed the macarons here to be less sweet compared to the norm. They aren't perfectly formed or identically sized as the other macarons and wouldn't look as pretty wrapped in a clear box, but they sure do taste great. The egg salad sandwich which was featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate was interesting to eat and not your typical run-of-the-mill egg salad. However it was a bit bland and lacked seasoning. Not sure how it ended up on the show. It's good, just not spectacular. The other sandwiches didn't stand out either. I'd probably stick with the bakery items here. Can't wait for the new much-needed bigger location!

    European-style bakery and I don't have to drive to the West side? Score!! Everything I've had here over the years has been good, and I mean everything. The egg salad sandwich is wonderful. The caramel sea salt macaron is heavenly. The pain au chocolat remind me of the ones I used to get in France. The brioche loaves I buy here are so tasty, it's hard to stop slicing off hunks, toasting them, slathering them with raspberry jam...yum yum yum! I went once just before closing time on a weekday. The store was pretty empty and the owner was there. And she was so nice! Her baked goods are so great that she could actually get away with being mean, but she wasn't at all. She personally brought me my heated-up cinnamon roll and checked if I needed anything else, although she had other staff present. I can't go here often because I go crazy and buy a huge box of pastries, but I really wish I could make this a regular spot.

    It's tiny for sure but has amazing sandwiches, amazing coffee, and amazing macarons. It has the feel of a small, intimate French cafe, which I love about it. The hardest decision I have when I eat there is what to order! And as a coffee addict, this is a great place to get my fix. The parking lot next to this little joint says it costs $1 but I've never paid because I never know where to put my money and I've never seen an attendant working. That said,even if there's an attendant there collecting money, $1 is still cheap parking.

    Europane is hands down the best bakery in Pasadena! From the breads, to the sandwiches, to the delectable desserts, they offer flavors and textures that no one else in this area does. My favorites are the various fruit tarts, nut tarts, and chocolate tarts. The macaroons are what really sets Europane apart. And the chocolate souffle, if you're lucky enough to get one (they always sell out), is phenomenal. The Egg-salad open-face sandwiches are also quite unique. And finally, the rosemary currant bread is amazing. Portions are realistic, prices are slightly on the high side but oh-so-worth it!

    This is a great local bakery that serves breakfast and lunch. Everything is tasty but I love the bread pudding. It is unlike others I've had. It is the best thing there. Prices are average to high depending on what you get. Parking is hit or miss depending on the time you go. If you are in Pasadena you should give this place a try.

    I was visiting LA for the weekend for a conference and I am so glad we dropped into Euro Pane Bakery because we had some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Freshly baked bread with quality meats. The roast beef sandwich was moist, succulent, and oh so flavorful with a perfect balance of greens and spread for a great price. I also tried the open-faced egg salad sandwich which it was widely known for. I preferred the roast beef sandwich. I will be coming back for the meat sandwiches and the salted caramel macaroons. Yummy!

    What do you rate a place that does sandwiches and desserts but is only great at one of the two things? I LOVED my turkey sandwich. Would highly recommend it. And you get to choose the bread it's on, from a delicious list all made in house. But the desserts did not blow me away. I'm a baker and a sweet tooth so that leaves me picky about dessert-making, but also unpicky when I need my sweets! I have a lot of friends who love the baked goods here, so maybe I'm the minority. The biscotti was unimpressive. Looked good, smelled good, but did not have anything near the consistency of biscotti. I almost wonder if they forgot to give it its trademark second baking (everyone knows that biscotti is a twice-baked cookie. DUH!). Their chocolate chocolate crackle cookie had a great flavor, but its texture also seemed off. It was chewy in the very center, but chalky around the edges. Not even crispy, but chalky. I did enjoy their pear coffee cake and have no complaints about it. In fact, I'd highly recommend it. But when I'm looking for a bakery, I don't want to feel like I'm taking a chance on what I order. I want to be sold from the first bite. Hit or miss means no hit at all. I'll continue to come here, but mostly for the savory stuff.

    I have been a customer of Euro Pane for a few years now. I am mostly satisfied. They could work on having more of a variety. Some of the really good items, like their chocolate souffle, seem to be available only part of the year. Some of the Euro style recipes seem to be kinda bland. They could work on adding some flavorful selections. As far as bakery items are concerned, there are no displayed prices. Items seem to vary in price from one employee to the next. Some of my favorites are: cheese danish, pumpkin bars, chocolate souffle' , and cinnamon rolls. There usually is not much of a wait. You can almost always walk right up and order. Bakery items are always fresh, also. No cold,hard refrigerated cakes.

    I had their Pear Spiced cake and it was actually good. Their coffee ok but their atmosphere was very uncomfortable. Very cold, dirty tables not sure what it was that made the vibe weird (maybe the seating layout). I felt rushed by the staff as I placed my order. I was really looking forward to spending some time here, reading the paper and brainstorming. My visit was cut short. Next time I'm ordering "to-go".

    the food here is pretty fresh and consistent. their orange juice is fresh and totally worth it. i recommend the egg salad open faced sandwich if you're going there for your first time and don't know what to order.

    Delicious Parisian Macaroons (sorry Paulette's, it's better AND bigger than yours), open-faced egg salad sandwich, coffee, & smoky white bean soup. The new area is (in front of the Paseo mall) is bigger (with seating outside) than the original one a few blocks down the street but because it gets really packed I wish it was double the size =) I come back over & over again!!

    The baked goods are wonderful, as are the sandwiches .. especially the salmon sandwich. BUT! Maybe I shouldn't post something after having just had a bad experience, but I'm going to, I'm so irritated. On Sundays, they close at 3:00 p.m. I'm sick with a nasty URI, but I want to get their wonderful poppy seed twists to go with the soup I'm making for myself, so I call to make sure they have some, making certain I have the right Europane (the one near Lake, not the Paseo). I talk to a man, who tells me I have the correct Europane, and they have three poppyseed twists left. I say, "great .. please put them aside for me, I'll be right there to get them." He says, "we close at 3:00 (it's now 2:45), will you make it by 3:00?" "Yes," I say, "I'll be right there." So I leap out of bed and blaze a trail, get there in record time (I only live a couple of blocks from there), and arrive at 2:50! And I present myself, ask for my poppyseed twists, and nobody knows a thing about them. I'm told I probably have the wrong Europane. I assure them I do not, I called ahead and made sure. Who did I talk to, I'm asked .. a man. It wasn't me, says the guy behind the counter. Then he goes into the kitchen area, comes back, and says "He (Mike?) says he talked to you, but you didn't tell him to save them for you." By now I'm seriously irritated, to say nothing of sick as a dog, and I say in no uncertain terms that I definitely told him to save them for me. Then I spot two in the case, and I say, "Are those them?" The girl at the register says, "I guess .. I just sold one." Swell. Well, I got two of them, no thanks to the help at Europane. And then I'm charged $9.20 for two poppyseed twists and two tiny olive baguettes, plus one chocolate cookie. They seriously need to do something about their staff and their prices. Food's good, though ..

    I used to love going to Europane and getting their iced coffee until the day I sucked up a dead baby roach through my straw. I felt something in my mouth and pulled it out, upon closer inspection i realized it was a baby roach, the legs were sticking up and all raggedy. Completely disgusted, I immediately called Europane and told them that i wanted my money back. I walked over there with the dead cockroach to show them, the owner came out and apologized several times saying "we just fumigated, we just fumigated, i'm so sorry!" This Europane should consider themselves very lucky that I didn't report them. I will never go back.

    in the middle of a strip-mall street, this place is unassuming but a lovely place to sit in the waning brunch hours when it's not as crowded. oh CARAMEL SEA SALT MACAROONS, i miss you the most of all. big enough to still be chewy, w/ the right amount of caramel and sea salt in a perfect cookie sandwich. oh god, i'm crying now. i miss you so much. the espresso macaroons were good too. the egg salad sandwich is also a winner. good coffee drinks. an oasis in pasadena. i just wished they were open longer hours, but it's kind of irrelevant since i live up north now.

    sandwiches are good- kind of pricey though.. but i don't really like their pastries. cupcakes are expensive and not that good. too sweet in my opinion... -1 star for price -1 star for taste of pastries... love their bread though (it's what makes their sandwiches yummy)

    I started off my Europane visit with the much talked about egg salad and the verdict is ....... it was very good. I do agree with the other posts on their lack of friendly service. I too felt rushed & as if I was a nuisance for asking a simple question (does the cookie have nuts?) even the person who I believe must be the owner was not friendly. Oh well too bad. The experience left a a bad taste in my mouth. The food also took forever & was a bit pricey. If the service had been better I would have probably return for the egg salad.

    I've been here several times for the macarons and the egg salad sandwich, which are very good. But my last visit consisted of a half hour wait, until I learned they had forgotten my order, and then it was at least another ten minutes before my food arrived. Sadly, this wasn't the first time. Great food but poor service won't keep me coming back in the future.

    I really wanted to check this place out, especially after seeing them on the Food Network's Best Thing I ever ate. Well, what a disappointment this was. Of course I ordered their egg salad sandwich and it was NOTHING TO RAVE ABOUT. I could have done a better job in my own kitchen. I was there with my family and we ordered 2 egg salad sandwiches, the pressed ham and cheese sandwich, 2 Oranginas and an orange juice. The meal set us back $34 total!!! The thing that irked me the most was that I paid $34 for MEDIOCRE (at best) egg salad sandwiches and overpriced drinks, and when I got up to leave, the woman at the cashier lets me know rudely that the dirty dishes go around the corner. WTF?!? I paid $34 for freakin' sandwiches and now I gotta bus and clean my own table? Forget that.

    I love this place! Not too flashy from the outside or decor but the best coffee in Pasadena (strong and hot!) and absolutely DELICIOUS pastries! Also the staff here is SO nice! I have had a disproportionate number of awkward, embaressing or weird incidents here (dropping and breaking a plate, spilling coffee etc) and they are always so nice. Anyways, I love this place. There are long lines on the weekend but I can't blame anyone for wanting to come here!

    Based upon other yelpers had to go visit this place to check out their macaroons. Hands down, the caramel sea salt is my favorite, with the rest all coming in second. Had a mushroom, artichoke, goat cheese quiche for lunch and it was delicious. Nice flaky crust, and nice solid custardy filling mixed with the savory deliciousness of sauteed mushrooms, artichokes, onions and creamy, goodness of goat cheese. Portions are generous. Customer service is very nice and helpful. Place is small, but there's always the option to get things to go.

    Stop talking about the Egg Sandwich! Yes, we know it's great and different from any other, but they are so much more than that :) I LOVE their coffee. It's so strong and tasty. it's the closest thing I've ever found in the US to the coffee served in France. I always buy an espresso based drink - Americano or Latte, and always get some kind of pastry in the morning. Now let's talk about their pastries. The reason i did not give the 5 stars is because it's not uncommon that their pastries don't get sold on some slow days, and they leave it there in the window case for the same price as if it's fresh. 2 days old! I have come across this more than once. I know this because there are times i go in there 3 to 4 times a week and they announce when it's fresh, then 2 days later, i buy one thinking they made it again that morning, and it's super dry, stale and not yummy! If only they would NOT do that, I would seriously give them a 5 star rating. When fresh, everything is fantastic. Pricey as hell (like $7 for a tart) but worth it WHEN IT'S FRESH. Otherwise, there just as bad as Vons, if they're going to leave it out for 2 days and sell it for full price. I should suggest to them to have an "old" section 50% off or something. That would be better so they're not fooling the customer. But let's get back to the coffee. STRONG and YUM! All other sandwiches are fantastic as well. Goat cheese and roasted red pepper on Olive Bread. Yum! very gourmet, and always fresh. I've never had a problem with any of their sandwiches.

    Euro Pane is easily the place for the best Canele this side of Bordeaux. When you bite into it, the almost crisp caramel crust gives into the custardy center...it was simply delicious. The friendly baker behind the counter confirmed that Euro Pane make their canele the traditional way with copper mold and bee's wax (no easy silicon mold here). Go, go now...

    the pistachio macaroons are soo yummy! they have a crispy flaky cookie outside and a soft silky inside. its sweet but not too sweet and overall really good. at first bite i was surprised but once i took it all in i couldn't stop! it was soo great. i tried to go back today to pick up some more for my friend who just had a baby. she was the one that introduced them to me but they were sold out!! i couldn't believe it. so sad. now i can't stop thinking about going back and getting more!

    Came here on a Monday around 10 am. It was not crowded but they had a steady stream of customers. The service was just okay. I found the regular brewed coffee very bitter and the cream/milk containers all empty. Maybe the morning rush had just ended. My friend got the spicy pork sandwich and I had a pastry. Both were just okay. Her sandwich was super hot and didn't go well with her coffee so she went back for an Arnold Palmer. Beware - don't order the lemonade unless you like pucker mouth. It is supposed to be freshly squeezed but so incredibly sour that the berry iced tea doesn't help much. When was the last time you ordered a lemonade and had to add sugar to make it drinkable? We sat at the long communal table looking at the bread case. I couldn't resist and took home a loaf of rosemary currant bread which they will slice for you. Big disappointment. I've had better rosemary bread from Alberson's bakery. We should have gone to Lovebird's Cafe after all.

    After hearing great things about Euro Pane, I was a bit disappointed with the place. My turkey sandwich was decent but the best part of the sandwich was the multi-grain bread. The bread actually made the sandwich enjoyable despite the dried turkey breast meat. I also tried the macaroon which wasn't very good. Overall, Euro Pane is an enjoyable place for lunch if you can find a place to sit.

    sooo i love the streudel first off - i douse it with extra cinnamon and eat it warm with some milk on top...it's just such a nice filling- i believe apple and maybe plum/pear or some kind of berry but all fruit no jelly that's how i like it! soo good! today i tried the baguette for the first time- OMG AMAZING! probably cuz they make their stuff fresh every day but i swear best baguette ever- i might offer to work a month for free if they taught me to bake that baguette -that's how good it is - recommend a little butter cuz sometimes it's got that nice hard crunchiness of a baguette...i asked the server if he knew how many calories it had...he says, no. i said, thank God cuz i almost ate the whole thing and he assured me not to worry about calories...and the service is nice - they are polite smiling and answer all your questions and remind u that everything is baked fresh daily...i haven't tried anything else except the brioche which was alright cept i didn't favor the jam filling ...but the jam is good alright GO! and discover for yourself this wonderful bakery,, it may be considered a little pricey but it's not that bad and definitely worth it!

    I'm puzzled by some of the lower ratings on service at Europane because all my experiences have been very positive. I also made a large order for an office party that they handled flawlessly and very efficiently. While sometimes the food may take a little while, the people behind the counter have always been nothing but friendly. The food -- especially the egg sandwich -- is incredible. I highly recommend Europane. It's worth the price.

    I go there every day for lunch. Definitely my favorite place in Pasadena. First, they have really outstanding sandwiches. I'd highly recommend any of the standard ones on the menu, with the possible exception of the grilled ham and cheese which takes too long to make and doesn't really have enough depth of flavor. In terms of bread/sandwich combos, I recommend red pepper and goat cheese on baguette, a meatloaf on sourdough or one of the really, really terrific egg salads on toasted olive bread. On occasion, they'll also have BLT sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches and Japanese squash quiche at the counter, pre-prepared. If so, grab one. Especially the quiche. It's amazing - a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Their pastries are also top notch. I've tried just about all of them, with my undisputed favorites being the Parisian macaroons, cannelles and the blueberry and cream cheese danishes. My least favorites are their bear claws which tend to be a bit on the dry side, but even still are way better than anything you'll find at Wheatberry. The ambience is nice - cozy, rather small, but located in a weird little strip mall. Sometimes, especially around lunch time and on weekends, it gets kind of busy and your food can take a while to come out. However, I've never been disappointed that I waited. The staff is friendly and helpful, but sometimes service suffers a bit when they're crowded (this tends to seriously annoy some of the more snooty clientele a lot more than it does me, I think). My one slight gripe with the place is that there doesn't tend to be much variety if you eat there day in and day out. I wouldn't mind a few changes to the menu and pastry selection now and again, but, on the other hand, its hard to complain when what they do have on the menu is so darned good.

    Again, a spot I've visited more times than I could count. I associate Euro Pane with sheer friendship and happiness, as I'm always with great friends when I go. I LOVE (wish the capitals were bigger) the coffee here and the savory, eggy, basil-y, tomatoey quiche blocks (served with a crusty bun) are what perfect mornings look like to me. And mmmmmmmmmmmm ginger sconnnnnnnnnnnnnes!!! Kids are always around and Sumi's sometimes whisking them away for a little quality time.

    I love this little place! Everything is so freakin yummy. I love their egg salad sandwiches, the squash and goat cheese quiche, all the tarts, pastries... so good. The only thing is the location. It's so small it's easy to drive right by. You can find parking in the back lot.

    I thought the croissants were awesome, but the chocolate brioche (c'mon, chocolate chips????) and blueberry muffin (way to dense and dry) were only okay. I'd go back again for the croissants and might try some other items, but this wasn't a great first impression.
