Europane Bakery

On the Grid : Euro Pane

"Euro Pane is a Pasadena institution. There are now two locations a few blocks apart- and both are full every morning with the same regulars. Euro Pane (pronounced differently by everyone you'll meet) was started by the baker Sumi Chang, who worked with Nancy Silverton at La Brea Bakery. If you go for breakfast, I recommend the english muffins, which they make in-house (along with pretty much everything else). They are thick and spongey and unlike any other english muffin. At lunch they serve a variety of sandwiches on different types of bread (from loaves all baked that morning). I recommend the chicken salad sandwich on cranberry walnut bread and one (or six) of their colorful macarons on the side. #notgonnanot" - OSSO
