The 16 Best Restaurants In Pasadena - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Whether it’s a good day, a bad day, or just a slow Saturday morning, eating freshly baked bread at Old Sasoon is a restorative act. Located on a quiet, suburban street, this four-decade-old Armenian bakery recently added an indoor dining room, but their sunny sidewalk patio is still the move. Post up with coffee in a paper cup as your baked goods arrive warm from the oven: za’atar-crusted manaiesh, triangle-shaped beorags with spicy soujouk, and jingalov hatz stuffed with an entire bundle of fresh dill. These are available all day, but show up before 3pm for Sasoon’s breakfast special: khachapuri. These golden bread boats filled with soft, salty cheese and a runny egg are big enough to share." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce
