"Lincoln is a local favorite for brunch and pastries. Their classics are what we like most, like huevos rancheros with white beans and a very good avocado cream, and croissants that we’ve ordered by the dozen. Get ready to fight a youth soccer team for a table if you come on a Saturday, but it’s much more low-key on weekdays, where you’ll find a lot of business meetings between people wearing flip-flops, and people with overall deals at Netflix working on their next pilot." - Brett Keating
"While most HomeState locations are welcoming to dogs, the Pasadena and Highland Park patios are ideal. Both are wide and covered with bright umbrellas placed strategically to ensure the sun doesn’t get through which makes it comfortable for dogs to lie down while their owners snack on brisket quesadillas and breakfast tacos." - Eater Staff
"HomeState caters to the morning crowds in northern Pasadena." - Farley Elliott
"In the former Lincoln restaurant space slightly south of Woodbury near John Muir High School, I saw Homestate—owned by Briana Valdez—open its new Pasadena location and already cranking out breakfast tacos as of June 21. The spot features the signature Homestate style: massive logos on the building, Texas art, a full menu (including cocktails available on-site or to-go), and ample community seating indoors and out. For now the hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, with expanded hours on the horizon." - Mona Holmes
"I learned that HomeState, the mega-successful breakfast taco specialist, has taken over the closed Lincoln location at the Altadena/Pasadena border and plans to open there in a few short months." - Farley Elliott
