Millie's Cafe

Millie's Cafe is a popular breakfast joint that's always bustling. Despite the crowds, it's well worth the wait. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is friendly and efficient. What sets Millie's apart is its commitment to quality, even in a classic diner setting. They have a proper espresso machine!

Got here when it opened at 8 AM. It's really easy to find  parking & parking is free which is plus! I ordered the country fried steak, which I do not recommend. I arrived here at 8 AM when the establishment opened. It was quite convenient to find a parking spot, and I was pleased to discover that parking is complimentary. I decided to order the country-fried steak, but I regret to say that I can not recommend it. It was hard to cut, and just the smell of it was very unpleasant. It comes if you want hashbrowns or potatoes. I chose the potatoes and it didn't have a bad smell to it, but just the taste of it. The oil itself just tasted like pork oil, and when it comes to pork, I am very picky. I never complained about my food, but this was probably one of the worst country fried steaks I ever tried. Thankfully, the waitress was very kind. She bought her manager and they were able to change my order which I was very happy and I felt really bad but I wasn't going to be eat something that didn't smell good & taste bad. They were very polite and kind to me when I asked them to change my order. I hope that they did not add anything unwanted to the new food that i ordered, as I have heard negative experiences from other places where staff became upset when customers did not like the food. I am keeping my fingers crossed that nothing like that happened in this case. I respectfully changed my order to the B.E.L.T sandwich, which was delicious. And they were just super kind & and respectful. 10/10 to the B.E.L.T sandwich!!!

The eggs Benedict were especially well-cooked! But on the downside, the roasted potatoes as a side dish were a big letdown. I’m pretty sure the chef didn’t clean the pan because the potatoes had a fishy taste… Oh well…

Millie's Cafe in Pasadena is a popular brunch destination that delivers on flavor but struggles with the crowds it attracts. On a scorching LA day, the shaded outdoor patio offered some relief, though it remained quite warm. The menu is a pleasant surprise, featuring an array of gluten-free and health-conscious options. The blue matcha latte stood out as an intriguing and refreshing choice. The star of the show, however, was the breakfast burrito. In a city known for its breakfast burritos, Millie's version holds its own, packing a delicious punch that exceeded expectations. My companion's avocado toast was satisfactory, if not exceptional. The food quality is generally good, making Millie's a solid option for those seeking gluten-free fare. The main drawback is the service. The cafe's popularity leads to a packed house, resulting in slower service that might test your patience. It's a testament to the food's appeal but impacts the overall experience. Pros: - Excellent breakfast burrito - Good selection of gluten-free options - Interesting drink choices (blue matcha latte) - Outdoor seating available Cons: - Slow service during peak hours - Outdoor area can be hot despite shading - Some dishes are merely average Millie's Cafe is worth a visit, especially for those with dietary restrictions or a craving for a top-notch breakfast burrito. However, to fully enjoy the experience, try to avoid peak hours when the crowds and service issues are at their worst. While it may not be a regular spot for everyone, it's certainly earned its place in Pasadena's competitive brunch scene.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

### Review: Good Breakfast Spot This breakfast spot has been on my radar for a while. Our waiting time was about 25 minutes, which is fairly reasonable for a popular spot during weekend brunch hours. The food itself was alright—nothing extraordinary, but satisfying enough to start the day. Overall, it's a decent place for breakfast with a good variety of options, especially if you enjoy mixing savory and sweet dishes. If you're not in a rush and don't mind a bit of a wait, it's worth checking out.

We love this place! Everything is simply delicious, lots of healthy options. I think there’s something for everyone. Coffee is great! Attention is great! I can get pretty crowded! We’ve always been lucky and have not waited at all, there’s always been a table for us.
