Edwin Mills by Equator

Met up here for a birthday dinner with my girls and we had such a nice experience! Drinks were beautiful, food and service were excellent, and the vibes were relaxed and fun, especially with the live music outside - a really great meetup spot in Old Pasadena! For drinks our party had The Empress (gin cocktail), Lavish Hibiscus (tequila cocktail), Lola Fairy Berry (vodka cocktail), and a Pineapple Coconut Mojito. Their drink presentation was definitely gram-worthy - and our party loved all of them except the Lavish Hibiscus (too bitter). But they happily exchanged it for another choice (no charge for the untouched drink) - so definitely high quality customer service here! For food we shared a bunch of their appetizers - the Mac ‘N Cheese, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Breaded Zucchini, and some fries. Everything was plated beautifully and utterly delicious- especially the Brussel sprouts - they were my fave! Our server was fantastic as well - very attentive, helpful, and friendly - my water glass was never less than half full haha! The vibes are so cute too - sort of rustic, shabby-chic style with some really beautiful paintings hanging all over the walls and splashes of color to break up the wood theme - very Old Pasadena - loved it! Truly a place to take your time and have a relaxed catch-up sesh with the gals (even on a busy weekend evening)! Prices are mid range and comparable to the surrounding area. Parking is nearby in one of the numerous public lots or on the street but that’s difficult to find in Old Pasadena. I usually use the De Lacey garage - always find a spot there and it’s super affordable!

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The waitress looked drunk and was completely inattentive, the food was disgusting and barely edible, and the prices were outrageous for what they served. The calamari was hard like elastic and are you kidding me what restaurant serves calamari with out cocktail or marinara sauce!!!!! The potato skins were microwaved potato skins!!! Burger was the only decent thing. I came here because of the positive reviews. DONT BELIEVE THEM! Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values customers and food is edible.

Bottomless brunch bliss thanks to Bianca! She was absolutely amazing, so attentive and always made sure my drinks were topped off with a smile. Her energy was just what you want on a weekend outing, and the food was delicious from start to finish. The whole experience felt easy, relaxed, and super well taken care of. Shoutout to Bianca for making it such a memorable visit!

Super adorable bar with outdoor seating in a side street! They have promotions on Tuesday and Thursday for happy hour- 3$ martinis and other deals. Live music outside, we loved it! Will definitely come back again soon.

Sweet live jazz in the alley. Solid appetizers and cocktail happy hour. Great Black-n-Blue burger! We sat outside, but the inside looks cool. Definitely give it a try.

This place is an all-around great find, tucked away down an awesome little side street in Old Town Pasadena. The wine list and spirit menu are truly exceptional, with a thoughtful and impressive selection. The food is consistently delicious, especially for meat lovers—it is definitely a meat eater’s heaven. There are not too many options for vegans or vegetarians, but their fries are really good if you need a simple snack. There is often live music, which adds to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they have some great happy hour deals too. The staff is super friendly, and the venue has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find the perfect spot to relax. The space itself feels really original and was clearly created with a lot of love and care. Whether you are coming by for drinks, a meal, or just to enjoy the music, it is definitely worth a visit.

A burger was served to us on a broken plate. After raising the issue with the waitress, we were offered only a 15% discount on the burger once the bill arrived. This is completely unacceptable treatment for customers. We have been coming here regularly, but unfortunately, this will be our last visit.

I was just going to leave my star rating on this review, but the owner response was a little confusing. Yes, it is me? Just perhaps not the one you're thinking of? I came with my family (4) for brunch on Saturday and we simply didn't really enjoy the service or the food. To be fair the prices were reasonable in 2025, and the photos and other reviews brought us here in the first place but it didn't really meet our expectations. So if I'm needing to defend my review: Food: It was fine, nothing special, but not terrible, probably wouldn't come back for anything in particular. Service: The server didn't really seem to care if my family was talking and would interrupt to ask us to do minimal tasks like hand them plates or pass the pitcher of water to the other side of the table so they wouldn't have to walk around.. all things again not really worth mentioning, which is why I initially only put in a star review. The main thing that bothered me though was when the bill came they were commenting on the tip amount (somewhere in the 15-20%range) my father was leaving as he was entering the payment info, and was kind of just hovering over his shoulder the entire time. It just seemed weird, and made us uncomfortable. Atmosphere: We sat outside, didn't really step into the establishment.

I've been coming here for years the staff has great vibes all around, our server Bianca was the best! The bartender Felix makes the best candy shots, would recommend this place to everyone!

Service was so amazing. The server Bianca was so incredible and super friendly. Would come again just for her. Felix the bartender made the best drinks! I love it here so much. Brunch was delicious.

every time I come here I like it. great beer and drink menu. food that is really well made and presented, and reasonable price. great entrees as well as small portions and snacks on the menu. the flour less chocolate cake with ice cream is too good. it has a really good ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. i've had birthday groups and also casually walking in fir happy hour and is consistent- frankly is the best bars with food in old town. Old town pasadena is deader than normal but Edwin Mills is solid whether you are a local or coming in for a rose bowl game. visit and keep this gem thriving

Tired the popcorn chicken (surprised to see Asian seasoning and not spicy) and spicy calamari (also Asian seasoning and the way they cut it is often seen in Asian restaurants, but not spicy). For drinks, had the mezcal and papa noels margarita (tequila but kinda sad I didn't like the candy thingy and wasted it). Would get the Mezal again. FYI if ur an alcoholic (no judgement) there's bottomless mimosas starting at $18 (brunch entree req.) Tried thats a lot of protien $19 which was a steak and eggs plate with brussel sprouts and potatoes as sides. It is a safe choice and fair priced. The braised short ribs chilaquilles $19 was very flavorful and the tortilla was soak with flavor but still had a bit of a crunch left! Getting the sunny side up eggs is the best idea for this cuz you can dip into the runny yolk.

The ambiance and decor was to die for! The outside seating area with music was delightful, and our server was attentive and funny.

We were here to see some live jazz, and in my reservation, I asked for a seat where we could see the band. They placed us across the alley at a table (they have a bunch of tables there, kind of like a patio), and it was perfect. Beautiful summer evening, sitting outside with twinkling lights, sort of makes it feel like you're somewhere in Europe. The ambiance was amazing here. The food is pretty good - not super special or anything....except the snapper. When it says potato wrapped, it means POTATO wrapped. It was coated with what my partner called "angel hair hashbrowns", which were surprisingly light and crispy, and a HUGE bed of sweet mashed potatoes. And some garlic spinach. We also got the fried mushrooms (these come with ranch and was probably the least interesting dish - they just use plain ol' button mushrooms), and the fancy salad, which was pretty fancy, but I kind of found it a bit underwhelming. The fancy part is that they just throw in a bunch of berries, dried figs, candied walnuts, and some fried cranberry goat cheese (which might have justified the "fancy" in the name). But the dressing was kind of a simple sweet vinegarette, and I think it putting a little bit more innovation into the dressing would have made the dish sparkle. Parking in the Delacey lot - $2 for the first 2 hours, $1 each hour thereafter. Bathrooms are gender neutral and single-stalled. The jazz was great. And it was nice to see people walking through. Some cars came through the alley too, but not too many.

This was my first time. The server girl was very friendly without crossing the border. I love her. The cocktails are very good. A little pricier though. We had the calamari and Brussels sprouts and both were cooked perfectly. One thing I didn't like was that door is always open so the flies are around you.

Edwin Mills by equator is one of my go to spots in Pasadena. Their happy hour specials truly can't be beaten ($3 martinis during the week, $22 bottomless mimosas during the weekend, half of appetizers, and more!) this is an eclectic spot with interesting art, comfortable seating and great outside seating options in the alley. The service is always on point and staff is always personable and has only ever added to my experience. I've never been disappointed by the food here either from their pork belly (5/5; delicious, perfectly cooked and amazing sauce) to their fluffcakes to their chilaquiles short ribs (5/5; great flavor. Awesome sauce and beautiful eggs on top). And every lychee flavored drink on their menu is delicious. This is one of my go to Pasadena spots for a reason! And I hope to keep going here for years to come.

First time trying this place, thanks to the SGV Passport. I went here on a Friday night with my bf and was seated right away. We ordered: The Bolognese was very meaty and savory. The sauce was rich and flavorful . The meat was tender and had just the right amount of seasoning, paired with perfectly al dente pasta. It was a comforting meal. The Pork Belly was a true showstopper. The skin had an amazing crispiness that contrasted beautifully with the tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. The dish was balanced with a slight sweetness from the glaze and savory undertones that made each bite incredibly satisfying. Definitely a must-try! And the Mac & Cheese--wow. This was the creamy, cheesy comfort food everyone dreams of. The cheese sauce was rich and velvety, and the pasta was perfectly coated. The subtle addition of a crispy topping added a nice texture contrast, making it both indulgent and comforting. Parking: we parked at the parking structure where we paid $1 for the first two hours. Service is friendly.

*4.5* Had my first bottomless mimosas here on a Sunday afternoon. You're going to want to Uber because 1) bottomless and 2) the restaurant is in a quaint little side street and parking seemed far and hard to find. Their interior is on the smaller side and seemed geared towards more intimate groups. Our party of 5 was seated promptly across the way at a shaded table when we arrived, and our server was incredibly gracious and awesome at conversation while continually ensuring we had everything we needed. I believe you can only get bottomless if you order an actual dish, so i tried their bananas foster pancakes. The rum-flambeed bananas were well caramelized and the pancakes were decent, made better with the chantilly cream. Their parmesan fries and hash were also as good as they get. The mimosas were excellent - dare I say heavier on the champagne than I anticipated. Suffice it to say that my limits were tested that day on an assortment of flavors that just couldn't miss. My favorites included the French, which was a combination of two of the flavors (I forgot) and the lychee. Our server was kind enough to entertain our request for an off the menu curacao mimosa that was also pretty good. Show up for a great time!

Edwin Mills is amazing. The staff were super nice and quick with service. Bottomless is 2 hours and the staff come over and tell you how much longer you have. There are two options for bottomless: one is OJ and the other is a bunch of flavors. The food is really good. I got the "that's a lot of protein" and it did not disappoint. Mimosas were amazing. I had peach and lychee. You can change the flavor after you finish a carafe.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y, Night! S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y, Night! This is how to roll on a sunny warm Saturday evening in Cali:) A hidden gem located in the alley on Mills Place across from Savvy's coffee, this place reminded me of a cafe you might find in the French Quarters...lots of ambience. As you enter, you are greeted by a lovely hostess who will seat you at a table...Or maybe you just want to grab a seat by the bar?! Intriguing portraits hang on the red brick walls along with scenic murals. The high ceilings are filled with old wooden beams with lighting up high. I couldn't help but feel like I was some where else which added to the experience. We ordered cocktails, shared appies and enjoyed our time together! ~Mac N' Cheese with broccoli and 5 types of cheeses ~ 4/5 ~Breaded Zucchini ~ 5/5 ~Crispy Brussell Sprouts ~ 4/5 ~Fries ~ 5/5 *The cocktails were very good but on the pricey side. On our way out they had a 3 piece band playing music on the patio out front. We danced our way out! And I had to stop and sing...of course:) *Parking - meter on streets, there are a few parking lots in the area as well *Kid friendly

Met up here for a birthday dinner with my girls and we had such a nice experience! Drinks were beautiful, food and service were excellent, and the vibes were relaxed and fun, especially with the live music outside - a really great meetup spot in Old Pasadena! For drinks our party had The Empress (gin cocktail), Lavish Hibiscus (tequila cocktail), Lola Fairy Berry (vodka cocktail), and a Pineapple Coconut Mojito.

Everything was plated beautifully and utterly delicious- especially the Brussel sprouts - they were my fave! Our server was fantastic as well - very attentive, helpful, and friendly - my water glass was never less than half full haha! The vibes are so cute too - sort of rustic, shabby-chic style with some really beautiful paintings hanging all over the walls and splashes of color to break up the wood theme - very Old Pasadena - loved it! Truly a place to take your time and have a relaxed catch-up sesh with the gals (even on a busy weekend evening)! Prices are mid range and comparable to the surrounding area. Parking is nearby in one of the numerous public lots or on the street but that's difficult to find in Old Pasadena. I usually use the De Lacey garage - always find a spot there and it's super affordable!

Mondays: Half of wine. This place has live music sometimes and all wines are half off on Mondays. Kudos for that! Not so great: Be ware of glasses of wine in bottles that have been opened too long... or a taste like it. Too cold and drafty inside, especially in winter (too much a/c in summer and open doors and draft in winter). Wear warm clothes! Service: Not great. If you arrive when not many others are there, you'd think you could get a darned glass of wine, but you have to go to the bar. That's OK, but just odd. A waiter on 11/10/2025 raised issues about his own shortcomings. Appetizers: Gross! Get a real dinner. Overall: Still worth it for the great wines (get a bottle!) and music.

I've been here a couple of times for happy hour and will continue to come back. Located in one of the alleys of Oldtown Pasadena with either metered street parking or parking lots. So far I've noticed that it's a 50/50 chance on whether it'll be busy or not in the evening. Some nights they also have live entertainment. Pretty chill, low-key restaurant to enjoy good company. The service has been good the times that we've come here. We've tried a few things here and I keep coming back to the same dishes - spicy calamari (my favorite), loaded potato skins, crispy Brussel sprouts, and bleu wings. I don't recommend the cranberry baked brie. See you again next time, Edwin Mills!

Came here on a Tuesday for their amazing happy hour. How can you go wrong with $3 marinis which various different flavors. I had their onion rings as well and they were pretty tasty. Small place but I do like the ambiance! Highly recommend this place.

Great service!! The food was delicious. Our server Bianca was very attentive & super generous!

This place is located in the heart of old town tucked away in an alley off of Green st and Colorado. It is a very intimate atmosphere with a bit of an eclectic decor. Went here for date night with my guy and the music set the tone perfectly. They have live Jazz music that adds a positive intimate vibe. The best meal we had was the Slow braised short rib with risotto , wow the meat just fell off the bone and it was tender and tasty. It was paired with a tasty risotto. So good. We also enjoyed our Dos fish tacos that were satisfying and unique. Will be back for more and curious about other items on the menu.

Very good food delicious yummy , perfect atmosphere specially outdoor with light live music , definitely good place to spend chill saturday nights with hubby

Cute little restaurant in an alley way of Pasadena. Literally. The drinks were good but the food was mid for me. The ambience and jazz playing for Valentine week was a nice touch. I would be back for the drinks and atmosphere. Crispy wrapped fish (3/5) a little on the sweeter side and dry Bleu cheese wings (3/5) a bit overcooked and tough Baked brie with dried cranberry (3.5/5) missing a sweet component. I would suggest using cranberry compote or honey drizzle to add some flavor to the baked brie. Chocolate Flourless cake (5/5) ok this was the best dish of the night Lemon berry martini (4/5) not bad actually but a little too much juice. Mezcal sour (5/5) this one was pretty good. Smooth and tarty. Overall 3.5/5.

An incredible happy hour that makes me wonder how I have not I have not come here sooner. The happy hour on Friday is from 4-7 and they have $3 martinis, bottled/can beer and well drinks. Amazing. No food specials on Fridays (they have some during the other days of the week) but the food was great and so was the service. Will definitely be back.

Found this gem walking through Old Town Pasadena. Talented live jazz attracted us in for a couple drinks and late night appetizers. Ordered Fried Pickles which were tasty- a little salty, but wonderful with the Braised Pork Belly. Beautiful patio with cozy ambience and attentive service.

Stopped by on Saturday, 11/23/24 for the first time during lunch! Please make a reservation prior to arrival as this place gets busy - can choose either indoor seating or outdoor. Ordered the following: - 3 bottomless mimosa (specialty) = $22 per mimosa ($66 total) / FREE REFILLS - UNLIMITED ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS FROM 11AM - 3PM! - 1 fried potatoes = $5 - 2 short rib tacos = $18 per entree ($36 total) - 1 braised short ribs chilaquilles = $19 SUBTOTAL = $126 TAX = $12.91 TIP = $10 OVERALL TOTAL = $148.91 The bottomless mimosas special is totally worth it. There are tons of flavors to try out as well: pomegranate, strawberry, strawberry lemonade, mango, strawberry coconut, french, peach, rasberry, cherry, cranberry, pineapple, lychee, apple. Overall, a great way to catch up with friends, family and loved ones. Fantastic atmosphere and good vibes only. My friends and I were wearing our UCLA & USC gear for the game, and it was a vibe.

Great ambiance and friendly service. Food was bland for the most part, but the onion rings and drinks were enjoyable. I'd return for the drinks and the overall atmosphere.

My beloved 1st date place! In a very cozy alley in heart of old town Pasadena! Hard to rate them! Great service and live music on weekends but not very good food! So i would suggest to go there for a drink or two and enjoy live music( please tip the band, they are so underrated!

Let me start with the positives. Excellent live music on the patio, which can be enjoyed with any outdoor seating. Great jazz band featuring David. Really enjoyed the band. The food was quite good. My wife had a burger and I had the Shepherd's Pie. Very tasty and enjoyable. The surroundings - we sat on the patio across from the restaurant itself. Nice seating and wonderful side-alley vibe. The service was good and helpful. I asked for a recommendation and received an excellent suggestion. Now the bad, and why I knock this place down two full stars from what I would give them otherwise. The menu, signs and web page clearly state that Tasty Tuesdays and Thirsty Thursdays feature specials like $3 martinis during Happy Hour, which goes from 4pm to 10pm. As evidenced on their web page, menu and advertising. On the menu itself there are apparently TWO separate pages which reference Happy Hour, but the first page and online menu never reference that the martinis have to be flavored in some way. Those are not true martinis, as any reasonable bartender will tell you. The menu page specifies $3 martinis. Look at their social media and website. Their online photos and features alone substantiate my position. The reference - according to staff - apparently applies only to flavored martinis, not the real deal. You only discover this if you page a couple more pages to discover the details, which aren't featured on the Happy Hour page. When we got the bill we discovered that the discount only applies to flavored martinis, not actual martinis. The couple at the table next to us had the same surprise. We objected and - after attempting to rectify - were told by the waiter that we were subject to the full charge of $18 per drink, not the advertised $3. I asked to see the manager, and was at first denied, then led into the bar to speak with the bartender in charge. I admit I was, at this point, more than a bit upset that we'd been misled, but the bartender stated outright he didn't like my attitude. What followed is a classroom example of how not to handle an angry customer. At one point he specifically said "Go write us a bad review, I don't give a damn." It was confrontational and unnecessary. We felt that we were victims of a "bait and switch" and the people in charge basically told us to to go #### ourselves. I don't write many reviews, but this was a restaurant begging to be written up. (And again, the table next to us were equally surprised.) I am not normally a confrontational person in this sort of situation. I attempt to diffuse. But the attitude of the lead bartender escalated the situation unnecessarily. A trained manager/bartender is fully capable of de-escalating this sort of scenario, and in this case did not even try. Was I upset? Absolutely. When you expect a $12 charge for four drinks, per the menu, and are faced with a $72 charge it's upsetting. Did we feel abused? Absolutely. Was I angry, yes. Guilty as charged. But the bartender in charge threw gasoline on the fire and refused to accept the responsibility for the inaccurate menu. That was unprofessional and frankly unacceptable. I've been to hundreds of restaurants/bars worldwide. And only once before seen this sort of in-your-face rejection of responsibility. See attached screen shot from their online menu for evidence. Tasty Tuesdays $3 martinis. Heck, it's even featured by them on YELP! Caveat emptor.

Great ambiance and fun drinks. We went for happy hour and dinner. If you are gluten free, I highly recommend going elsewhere. They have one fryer and one stovetop that they do not clean between gluten vs "gluten free" options. They do not have extra pans to make your food separately. So, I did not feel comfortable eating food from the restaurant. We really enjoyed the live music. We had whiffs of cigarettes and the sewer that came and went while we sat. Maybe it was just where we were sitting outside, but definitely not the best smell.

Service was lovely!!! Food and cocktails were lack luster... Lola fairy berry was like watered down raspberry lemonade. The brunch food was really nothing special. Had such high hopes with all of the phenomenal reviews. My 3 stars is generous.

Omg!!! The braised short rib chilaquilles were amazing and so freaking good!!!! My Rose Petal cocktail was just as yummy as it was gorgeous!!! Our server, Bianca was absolutely lovely!! My husband's margarita was a win, too! He had three!! Great craftwork by skilled bartenders!!! And I decided to try their housemade sangria....no regrets!!! Great playlist!! Loved our little outside seating. This was our second visit and we will back!!!

Bianca took really good care of us! Amazing customer service. Checked on us often and made great recommendations!

On the weekdays there are different happy hour for different items on the menu. This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the night. The drinks are well made and some nights, they would have live music outside. The servers are friendly and don't rush you to leave. We would come for a drink and dessert after our dinner.

We went to this place based on a recommendation that they have good jazz. In my opinion, the Jazz music was the best part, but the dining experience was ok. Since it was a nice evening, the jazz was outside so that is where we wanted to sit. Little did we know that we would be sitting in an ally where cars are driving through and it smelled of sewer. The service was decent and all the servers and hosts were nice. The food came out pretty quickly. I loved the potato skins. But some of the food, like the Mac and cheese, came out cold, so we had to send it back. Parking wasn't too bad, there is a lot not far and it was only $1.00 to park. If we ever come back, we will likely sit inside as you can still hear the jazz from inside the restaurant.

The burger supposedly had blue cheese but I couldn't really taste any... just tasted like a regular burger. The patty was pretty juicy though. The brussel sprouts were good but a little too burnt. Strawberry mimosa was decent and not too sweet. Restaurant had a nice, cozy vibe with string lights and a live jazz band during dinner.

This place is an all-around great find, tucked away down an awesome little side street in Old Town Pasadena. The wine list and spirit menu are truly exceptional, with a thoughtful and impressive selection. The food is consistently delicious, especially for meat lovers--it is definitely a meat eater's heaven. There are not too many options for vegans or vegetarians, but their fries are really good if you need a simple snack. There is often live music, which adds to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they have some great happy hour deals too. The staff is super friendly, and the venue has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find the perfect spot to relax. The space itself feels really original and was clearly created with a lot of love and care. Whether you are coming by for drinks, a meal, or just to enjoy the music, it is definitely worth a visit.

We've come here for brunch twice and always have a great time with great service. I love the outdoor area, it's nice and big, and comfy! The food is really good, we have sampled all of the mimosa flavors and love the diverse flavors!

A group of us met at Edwin Mills last night. I went early to make sure we had a table and Alfredo was kind enough to set up seating for us. While I waited, I went to the bar to get a bottle of wine as Wednesday is half off wine. After several minutes, one of bartenders came over to me and asked if I wanted anything. There was some confusion as to which wines were half off, but I picked out the Dao chard as it's one of my favorites. Since I was in last, the menu has been expanded with a good variety of items and decent prices. The rest of the group arrived and we all ordered food and wines. Alfredo took our orders and the food came out in a timely manner. We were all pleased with our food and service, Alfredo was attentive and friendly. The owner goes out of his way to see that the customers are given a good experience. We will be returning.

$3 martinis on Tuesdays! I tried the mac & cheese and ribeye, both were pretty good. The restaurant has a dark, moody ambiance. Service was great, with our server checking in frequently. I had the strawberry and watermelon martinis and preferred the strawberry. It was nice that they have live performances. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Parking is in a nearby paid structure or street.

Edwin Mills has been on my list of places to try for a bit and i'm happy I got a chance to head there on one of my infamous trips to Old Town Pasadena. The food and service were terrific. I'm a huge fan of customer service and the waitress here was super sweet. Pro tip for myself. There is seating outside and across from the restaurant, but still part of the restaurant (if that makes sense) and i would have loved to snag one of those coveted outdoor seats nearby the band (I went there for their nightly jazz - she a jazz fan) but thats for weirdos like me who like to be fully immersed in jazz music. Super cute spot! When i find myself in Pasadena again (and im there pretty often) I'll happily add Edwin Mills to my running list of little places I can visit for music and a drinky drink.

Food was so amazing, brunch was delicious, our server Bianca was the best! She's so sweet and very attentive she treated us very well. Felix was also amazing, best drinks in Pasadena!

Edwin Mills used to be the spot for good drinks and great vibes, especially for Happy Hours. But avoid this spot on a Friday night, because service was THAT awful for me and my friends. My friend ordered a drink not knowing it was alcohol-free. She was asking our waitress about different beers and ciders before placing an order of a margarita from the zero proof menu. She truly didn't know what zero proof meant nor did the waitress confirm/check with her about the drink. She took ONE sip of the drink and realised there was no alcohol so she asked for a replacement drink with alcohol. The waitress took away her drink before the replacement one came. When our bill arrived, we got charged for that mocktail ($14 for a mocktail!!!). We tried to contest it but our server was adamant about keeping the charge because she was under orders from the manager, so we asked for the manager. The manager said her name was Marlan (?). And she was INCREDIBLY rude to us. She said that my friend should've read the menu better and she refused to remove the charge. Her tone was super condescending. We eventually conceded and my friend asked for her name. After that, 5mins left, she came back with a new bill with the mocktail removed. She then told us her general manager was Marlan and her name was Dana, which just added to the overall distaste in our mouths - like why lie to us and then add this information? It's truly one thing if it's policy and you could be genuinely apologetic and polite about it, then this would've been a review to warn y'all about what zero proof means . But it's another to be super rude to customers and refuse to remove a $14 drink that my friend barely drank and didn't actually want.

Brunch was awesome!! Our server was amazing, so kind, and diligent with her job. Bottomless mimosas are so worth the hype! The food... scrumptious. if you are considering a place to do brunch look no further, Edwin Mill will not disappoint!!

I love this place. The vibe is always on point. The drinks are phenomenal and creative. The service is always top notch. Came here the other night to show some friends and was so excited to see love music doing vintage Christmas songs. The band and singer were great. Fit the mood of the place with all the pictures everywhere. We sat at the bar and ordered yummy drinks. They were able to modify no simple syrup in the drinks and switch the alcohol which I loved. We got the tamarind drink and the espresso martinis. Both were so yummy. That tamarind drink has my heart it's so good. I did switch from vodka to tequila and it was amazing. The presentation was a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend this drink. The bartender even told us some ghosts stories he has experienced there as it is known to be haunted. So spooky but so cool. Definitely stop by this place you'll have a great time.

Wow. Where do I begin? A friend of mine recommended this brunch location because the food was great and they had bottomless mimosas with several juice options . I got Cajun grilled chicken, paired with broccoli and house potatoes. Another friend got a chicken sandwich with fries. We all got bottomless mimosas. They do have a rule tho, if you get bottomless mimosas, it's mandatory that you order an entree, which isn't a problem! They are located in an alley near Burke Williams ! Sooo keep that in mind , nice spa day followed up with a great meal and champagne. Our server was amazing and she was very attentive. I will 100% return to Pasadena , just to eat.

Bianca was so sweet and my boi Felix got them drinks DOWN! Amazing food and amazing service!

Edwin Mills is one of my go to spots for brunch with friends. If we're talking value for the price, there's really nothing else like it. The menu has something for everyone with tons of food and drink options, and the vibe is always on point. You're surrounded by good energy and people just enjoying their weekend. Next time someone asks where to meet for brunch, just say Edwin Mills. You won't be disappointed.

Came for brunch and had a good time! Our server Bianca was so sweet and very helpful! A couple people from our party were lagging behind and she was very patient with us! The bottomless mimosas are a great deal, especially for the flavors! Strawberry lemonade was my personal favorite. The fluffcakes were delicious!!! The smell of them alone was amazing. Biggest con was it didn't feel like the ac was on so it was pretty stuffy in there. And while they were a lovely touch, the amount of pillows on the booth seats was a little overkill. Also the chilaquiles were just ok to me. The sauce kind of felt like enchilada sauce from a can, but I will say the short ribs were great on them! Overall, it is a great spot for lunch, especially if bottomless mimosas are something you're looking for. Will be coming back!

Bottomless brunch bliss thanks to Bianca! She was absolutely amazing, so attentive and always made sure my drinks were topped off with a smile. Her energy was just what you want on a weekend outing, and the food was delicious from start to finish. The whole experience felt easy, relaxed, and super well taken care of. Shoutout to Bianca for making it such a memorable visit!

FIVE STARS!!! Bianca, our server, was amazing! Great energy and great service. The cocktails were amazing and the food was given TLC.

This place has the sort of wackadoo mishmash of a place trying to excude the "Old Pasadena" of yesteryear, Steampunk, lounge chic and then in the middle of it all showcases a "Wall of Aphorisms", which is just... bizarre. The jazz trio out front sounded nice, but I felt the bar staff was trying to block it out with their own soft rock mix. All these quirks I can handle as they lend an air of discordant charm. What I do have issue with is that they charged me $14 dollars for well liquor AND THEN have the gall to add $1 for soda water. That's just... Greedy nonsense. I suppose I am the fool that went during regular hours on a nice peaceful Sunday and didn't dare expose myself to the $3 martinis, thus being the one paying the difference for those great HH deals. Giant Meh.
