Pillow Talk made it on my list of places to try while I’m in Pasadena for work. The egg sandwiches and chiffon cakes caught my eye and they didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Egg Heaven, which was egg salad and chives with a hard boiled egg sandwiched in between lightly toasted bread. It was delicious! To satisfy my sweet tooth, I opted for the Pink Lover chiffon cake which was a perfect blend of raspberry jelly and lychee mousse topped with fresh raspberries. It was nice, blend of berry and lychee flavor, very fluffy and not too sweet. While I was bummed that they didn’t have the sunny side up, which was a mango and coconut medley, the Pink Lover made up for it. The vibe was cute. I would definitely recommend for a really good Japanese style egg sandwich & unique dessert options from the black sesame chiffon cake topped with edible gold to the Taro Ube chiffon cake.

This freaking oat honey latte was amazing... glorious, wonderful! I made a vow not to buy any sort of coffee at a shop unless it was something unique that I couldn't easily make at home, which is why I jumped at this latte with honeycomb in it. It started out so smooth and perfectly creamy with just the right sweetness. The honeycomb melts and continues to sweeten the drink as it sits in the drink. In the end, it was a little sweeter than I generally liked, but it was still really good. The chocolate moouse strawberry cake was lovely as well. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll be stopping by grabbing a coffee!

Salty Orio tastes normal, but the pork floss’s cake is super hard. Honeycomb latte doesn’t have honeycomb. It’s just 100% melted sugar with some baking soda.

It looked like a very cozy café. However, the furniture is very basic and uninviting. The cakes look delicious and taste uniquely good. The sandwiches are cute and are perfect for a light meal. The latte was just mediocre. A big turn off point is that they do not let guests use the restroom. There is a big sign on the bathroom that says “No Public restroom”. I have two problems with that. It is unethical to deny restroom access with those prices; and secondly, it is unhygienic to have finger food but guests are unable to wash their hands before eating.

Pillow Talk is a cute Japanese coffee shop that serves delightful sandwiches and mini cakes. It’s located on S. Lake ave in Pasadena. It has ample of tables and seats on a very relaxing atmosphere. Furthermore, its aesthetic interior decor and spotless white wall and high ceiling with recess lighting makes the store look more spacious. We were warmly greeted by a young female staff. It was our first time here. They have a modest menu of coffee, juices, mini cakes and egg sandwiches. I had an Egg Heaven and Iced Honeycomb Latte. The sandwich tastes good and the latte was refreshing. They have a plethora of hand crafted mini cake desserts with ostentatious decorations. Prices are fair and competitive. Plenty of street parking. Staff were cordial and professional. Service was on point. Overall, I enjoyed their food and drink and service. I will definitely come back and try their desserts. I recommend this coffee cake shop.

This has been in my bookmarks for awhile and finally got a chance to check it out since I was in the area. It's a nice little spot! The tin cakes were so cute and they were delicious! Not overly sweet. Pink Lover was my favorite of the 3 gotten, but the other two were just as good. Also tried one of the egg sandos and they were tasty as well.

Cute Japanese fusion coffee and dessert shop. Highlights of the menu: 1. Sunny up side dessert - Mango coconut 2. Strawberry shortcake 3. Dirty sesame latte 4. Okonomiyaki sandwich

I finally got to make it out here after my PT. I was the first customer at 11 am. I knew exactly what I had wanted to try: Mango matcha drink. Perfect taste, not overly sweet. I loved it!! I also ordered the okinomiyaki sandwich, this has the bacon in it. So flavorful and eggs cooked perfectly with a hint of cabbage slices. I love this breakfast sandwich and I would come back for this breakfast. I also got the sunny side up (egg decor/mango) cake and the strawberry shortcake. Both were delicious and not overly sweet in flavor. Fresh, creamy deliousness!! Both were delicious desserts!! The place is small, clean and cute!! Service is great and the girls are friendly and accommodating!! I highly enjoyed Pillow Talk!! Thank you Pillow Talk team for the excellent service and coming up with delicious foods!! Presentation was beautiful, as well!! I highly recommend this place.

Pillow Talk has been on my radar for a while, and I finally got a chance to visit with a friend! The sandwiches are lovely, with a nice mix of sweet and savory options. My top picks were the tins-- GRAPE EARL GREY & the SALTY YOLK PORK FLOSS. ENJOY! PS: I found street metered parking near by.

Egg Heaven Sandwich -- A delicious cold sandwich with soft-boiled egg! Okonomiyaki Sandwich -- A warm and savory delight with eggs, bacon, cabbage, and dashi, topped with that rich okonomiyaki sauce! Mentaikoyaki Sandwich -- My absolute favorite! A warm, flavorful mix of salty pollock roe, egg, cheese, mustard, and mayo--so good! Service: Fast, professional, and efficient! Ambiance: Such a cute and cozy café--perfect for a relaxing bite!

Decent Japanese style sandwiches. I will say the service is nice and they try to Give you good flavors. Chill vibe, almost like a coffee shop, but not quite the vibe of lounging. Better for quick bites and an Asian Island taste. Not the perfect sandwich, but I'd go back. The guac mango sandwich my friend described as interesting. And the spam sandwich was extra saucy. Almost too much. I will definitely go back. Their coffee and drinks are serviceable, but I'd love more of a coffee shop options.

A cute shop in Pasadena serving up quality egg sandos & coffee drinks with unique options. I ordered the Mentaikoyaki sando and it was creamy with plenty of egg flavor and the pollock row gave that creamy and fish flavor that paired well with the eggs. The bread is soft and holds the sando together and is similar to most Japanese egg sandos that I've had. The dirty matcha latte I ordered had great matcha flavor and paired well with the coffee once it was mixed. Pricing is on the more expensive side for the food but not many shops in the area make sandos so it's one of the few options avaliable but still tasty nonetheless! Service was friendly and quick and the staff had my order out pretty fast! Parking is available on the street or on one of the lots nearby.

Pillow Talk Cafe is located on Main Street of Lake Avenue with convenient street parking. It's my go-to spot for egg sandwiches and desserts! The Mentaiyaki Egg Sandwich is my favorite, egg is cooked perfectly, it's best to eat it fresh and piping hot as it doesn't quite taste the same when you takeout. The desserts are equally impressive, with the Pink Lover Lychee dessert being my favorite with its light and refreshing flavors. The Strawberry and Oreo Lollipop Cake is also a fun, easy-to-eat treat, while options like Salted Oreo and Matcha Yuzu offer bold, creative flavors. The sandwiches and desserts keeps me craving to eat it again. Definitely will be back soon!

A quiet coffee shop that's perfect to study at during the weekdays! This place has it all... outlets, wifi, coffee & excellent matcha, "sandos" for when you're hungry, and the cakes which they're most known for. This is a small business (which I love supporting) and the owners here are super nice and friendly!

A family member brought 6 sandwiches and 4 desserts, all in different flavors. Overall, the flavors were okay, but they are a bit pricy. Sandwiches: My favorite was the Mentaiko. Not much mentaiko there but enough to know that you are eating mentaiko without the sandwich being too salty. Egg Heaven and Tamagoyaki were also delicious, but not much creativity in flavor. But this is fine; sometimes you want that classic flavor. Musubi, Okonomiyaki, and Pork Floss were too salty. However, I appreciated the Asian flavors mixed into the traditional egg sandwich; gave me ideas for my next egg salad sandwich. Dessert: We had Oreo, Black Sesame, Matcha, and Taro. They come in tin cans, which I assume is reusuable, but seemed unnecessary. It probably contributed to the price which I thought was a bit high. Overall, the flavors were not strong enough. And if you don't like mousse-based desserts, this is not for you. They have a layer of sheet cake, but most of it is mousse. While I enjoyed trying the different flavors, I was not impressed. The concept is great and the food is Instagrammable. But I would work on the flavor balance and consider switching the tin can to something less permanent and sustainable.

Came here on a Saturday and it was quite busy. There was only one person working and though she was able to provide a quick service with a positive attitude, I feel bad since she was doing it alone. Anyways, I ordered the Okonomiyaki Sandwich because it was the most unique one in my opinion. All the sandwiches reminded me of Japan since the quality looks superb, so you honestly can't go wrong with any of the choices. Anyways, I really liked the toasted bread, but it got soggy really quick because of all the sauces. The eggs were fluffy and cooked to perfection. The bacon added a nice touch to the flavor. The cabbage was cut into shreds, and it was evenly mixed with the dressing. Overall, I really enjoyed this sandwich. It was a bit on the higher ends but the quality of it was worth the try. Parking was a bit hard since it's street parking.

I was in the area after a workout class with a friend and we were craving some sandwiches so we decided to drop by this place. They sell a wide variety of sandwiches and cakes. My friend and I got the egg heaven and okonomiyaki sandwich to share. The fillings in both sandwiches were really good and tasted exactly like how you imagine them to. They really reminded me of the kind of sandwiches you get in Japan except the bread is not quite as soft. Our sandwiches took around 10 min to come out so it was pretty fast considering they're made to order. We didn't get a chance to try the cakes but they all looked really good so we'll probably have to come by again to try them out!

Pillow Talk was a spot that I came across when searching for specifically egg sando. The store is located on the busy street of Lake Ave. However, I went around 11:30 am and was able to find a spot on the street that was free for 1 hour. After browsing the menu, I ordered the Mentaikoyaki and a strawberry fruit sando. My order was ready in 5 minutes. When it came to the Mentaikoyaki, it fluffy and had good flavor. It wasn't amazing, but decent. For the strawberry sando, this was where my experience fell short. The sando wasn't sweet and it lacked flavor. The bread used for the sando didn't hold the filling together, as it kept falling apart with every bite. I ended up not finishing that sando. My overall recommendation would be to stick to the fresh sandwiches. I'd still come back to try the other variations of egg sandwiches.

Cute, quaint shop selling Japanese egg sandos, pillowy cake desserts and drinks! Came for a Yelp event and loved it so I decided to bring hubby to see the store in person. Their cold brew was nice, good aroma & I'm not a coffee person so I liked that it was smooth and not bitter. I tried their Ube Latte w/ almond milk (unsweetened) and it was so good! I might try their other ube drinks/desserts next time.... Also tried their Matchamisu (matcha + tiramisu) and I loved it!! Not too sweet, cakes are pillowy soft and airy. I liked it over the Black Sesame I tried before. Parking can be found on the street ($1/hr, not metered on Sundays), or you can park at the other free lots nearby on Lake (i.e. by Macy's/Erewhon) or the free 90 minute parking lots behind Walgreens or Granville.

A quaint yet delightful cafe in the heart of S Lake Ave (narrowly escaping the influence of the recent Eaton fires), my experience at this family-bred establishment was excellent to say the least. The cafe is quiet and allows one to fully enjoy their individual experience in comfort. The Honey-comb latte was the perfect sweetness level, which is hard for me to say with my picky, non-sugary minded Asian palette! The Ube and raspberry cakes in a cute tin can were flavorful and just the perfect size for individual consumption. The egg sandwich had a nice fluffy texture in both the bread and toppings. Service was extremely quick and friendly. Would highly recommend supporting this fantastic local business!

Menu consist of Japanese Sando. Different version of egg sandwich and of course fruit sandwich. They also have cheesecake with different fusion inspired. Opted for the eggspolsion sandwich tons of eggs. Lighter and creamy. Salted egg and pork floss gave that salty sweet but not enough of the salted egg yolk. Pink lover lychee flavored light and not too sweet Chestnut was good with a nice texture If you don't like super sweet this is a good dessert place

Food: had a chance to try out this place when my boyfriend and I were looking for a light lunch place before heading over to huntington library/garden. We ended up deciding on metaikoyaki sandwich that we shared together. The egg was hot and fluffy, with a bit of savory salty taste of cod roe, it was what we had wanted and needed before a whole day of walking. I just wish it had a little more sauce and maybe more thick soft milky bread enveloping the ingredients. I really wanted to try their dessert, but don't think I had enough stomach space for more food. Price: each sandwich ranged $9-13, which I think are slightly on the pricier side. Similar street sandwiches usually are supposed to cost less, but they're sold on the streets not in a restaurant like this Ambiance: cute little shop with clean white interior, about 5 ish tables inside, best for casual hangout/date with a partner or friend Service: the server was nice and took our order at the cashier without any issues, you pick up your food from the counter when it's ready, make sure to clean up after yourself as well. Seemed like this place was still relatively new, and the workers were trying to figure out how to run it, took a little time to get our food Parking: we were able to find some free alley street parking close to the restaurant on a weekend lunch time

Discovered this place from a Yelp event we have returned to try other things and it doesn't disappoint. After reading some other reviews while I agree prices are a bit steep the quality of everything here is just great. I'm completely in love with the sandwiches here and highly recommend you all try it. The cakes come in a container I'm now collecting at home lol. Great service great food highly recommend them!

Pillowtalk is a cafe located in Pasadena. They have street parking available, a restroom available, and minimal indoor seating with outlets. The inside is cute and homey. They have drinks, cakes, pastries, and egg sandwiches. The staff were really nice and inviting. Drinks and Desserts We ordered the dirty sesame latte for $5.95, the iced tiramisu latte for $5.95, the sparkling yuzu and strawberry for $5.45 each, the strawberry cake for $8, the taro ube cake for $8, the matcha tiramisu cake for $9, the okonomiyaki sandwich for $13, the mentaikoyaki sandwich for $13, and the egg heaven sandwich for $11. We really liked how there was a wide variety of options to choose from. The drinks weren't our favorite; they kind of just tasted like watered down coffee and nothing else. The sparkling drinks had very little flavor as well. The cakes were our favorite; a little expensive but they were moist and had great flavor. They also weren't too sweet which we loved. The sandwiches were yummy and filling but definitely overpriced. Overall | 4.1 The ambiance + service: 5/5 The drinks: 3/5 The cakes: 4.5/5 The sandwiches: 4/5 The price: $$

I like this little cafe. The coffee is great. Love the sandos. The desserts are delicious and not too sweet. I like the Oreo flavor and the strawberry shortcake flavor. They have WIFI and outlets, if you need to get some work done. Also they're open later than most of the other coffee shops around, which is nice.

Pillow talk can now happen whether you're single or not. Just come to Pasadena and get yourself a yummy egg sandwich. We got the mentaikoyaki sandwich cause who doesn't love cod roe and eggs? It's fluffy, it's flavor, the mayo sauce was on point. It's a hole in the wall shop that you don't want to miss. If that wasn't enough, there's desserts and drinks too so go crazy.

This place looks cute and the inside felt clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the drink and cakes tasted average, and I didn't enjoy the sandwichs at all. I tried two kinds of them (mentaikoyaki and okonomiyaki) They used too many eggs that made me feel sick. It was not healthy.

This was my first time at pillowtalk and I loved the sesame chiffon cake. At first I wasn't expecting much since most cakes are really sweet but not this one. For a great price($9), the chiffon cake is super soft and moist. The cake itself is not sweet at all but instead has an amazing fragrant sesame flavor and smell. I loved the sesame frosting and ganache on top. This is also an amazing place to study with plenty of parking, outlets, big tables, and it's very clean and quiet. I also wanted to point out the amazing service the cashier gave us offering us water. I will definitely be back to try their coffee and sandwiches because they look amazing.

I've been wanting to try these Japanese egg sandwiches for a while. Whenever I see people eating them on YouTube or Instagram, they look so good. And maybe I was expecting too much, but these were just okay, at least for the price. The Musubiyaki, which was probably the best of the 3 we got. We also got the Tamagoyaki for my son, but we also ate it, which was also decent. However, I would say the worst one was the Egg Heaven sandwich which was pretty much just a regular egg sandwich you might make at home but a bit saltier. We also got a couple of desserts, including the Taro Ube and Sunny Side Up. I was told the Sunny Side Up was their most popular dessert and was definitely the better between the two. Overall, it wasn't a bad sandwich, but I definitely don't need to come here again. And as I noted, I might have been expecting too much, but it just wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped.

I recently visited Pillow Talk and had a great experience. Parking is metered on the street, but it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. The space is small, but there's a decent amount of seating available. The staff was friendly, which made the visit pleasant. I ordered the Egg Heaven sandwich, and it pretty much hit the spot! I've been missing Japan's egg sandos, so I'm glad we gave this place a try. The sandwich was well-flavored, fluffy, and very delicate--just like the ones I've been craving. I'd definitely recommend this spot to sando lovers. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit!

Can't believe it took me this long to give this place a try! We stopped by here for a quick bite and it was the perfect afternoon snack. + Dirty sesame latte: The drink was pretty good but not very memorable. It had the right amount of sweetness and cream, but the black sesame taste was faint. + Egg sandwiches: We tried the mentaikoyaki and tamago pork floss, but our favorite was the mentaikoyaki. I loved how fluffy the eggs were, just the way I like them. The portion size is generous, the bread is soft, and it came out hot and fresh. + Matchamisu: The cakes are all so cute, and they come in a tin can that you can reuse. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of this one. The matcha flavor was very subtle, and the cake part was somewhat dry. The shop is very clean with minimal decor. There are a few tables, and they keep the music volume low - making it a great spot to chat or get some work done. I'll be back to try the other sandwiches!

Went to pick up some of the cakes to try. The store is clean and wasn't busy/quiet when I went in the afternoon. All of the cakes are in a refrigerated counter so it made ordering/pick up quick. The cakes are all so pretty in their containers! The cakes are light, fluffy, and mild on the flavors. I liked the pink lover the most because of the raspberry jam and lychee mousse. Parking- street parking

Leaving review here as well since there are two dif listings. Stopped in with my boyfriend for a tamagoyaki, Japanese egg sandwich, delicious fluffy folded omelettes with kewpie mayonnaise and lightly sweet bread tucked neatly into its tray. It was the perfect lunch to take out and eat at the park on a sunny day. It was so filling we probably could have shared one sandwich. Fast friendly service too. We also grabbed an Ube latte, and we couldn't stop remarking on how good it was, not too sweet with just the right intensity of yam, a great warm cup for this cozy season. We will be back!

Nothing to write home about sadly. The fruit sandwich costed more than the egg salad. I didn't really taste anything i hadn't had before. I thought it was be seasoned differently or something. I wouldn't waste my money here on this stuff

Nice quiet spot with cute snacks! So many different desserts that you can try (there's a mango cake/jelly dessert that looks like a sunnyside up egg ) - plus the little cakes come in a mini metal tin that you can keep. We ordered: - iced honeycomb latte: typical iced latte with honeycomb bits on top, either can each the crunchy bits on their own or wait for it to melt into the drink. Definitely needed a caffeine fix but it wasn't outstanding - matchamisu: good amount of matcha and layers of texture was interesting - cake was a little dry but considering how its $9-$9.50 probably best to split with a friend - white chocolate muffin top: shaped like a cookie but tastes like a muffin, it was nice of them to heat it up for us but I found it a bit sweet

Pillow talk will whisper sweet nothings to you until you're - full Let me just say this place actually has authentic Japanese street doos which is yum yum The coffee is the bestest And the people there overall have a chill I drink coffeee as a means of pricing my social worth vibe

This spot has been on my bookmarks for a good minute. I happened to be in the area and finally gave it a go. The cafe itself is located off Lake. Busy street, some street parking and lots. Very cute & simple design. Now the food, I ordered the Okonomiyaki sandwich. Reasonable price of $13. Best decision ever. I feel like people hear egg sandwich and its always hit or miss. This place is honestly pure hit! Sandwich was conveniently cut in half and packed neatly. So soft. So much flavor! The bacon and toppings were great. I cannot wait to come back here. Their drinks look amazing! Read less

Stopped by this shop for a coffee fix and ordered their Vanilla Latte. It hit the spot and was stronger than expected too which was a nice surprise! In trying some of my friends coffee orders, all the coffees were very creamy and delicious. We came here after lunch and unfortunately were too full to try their desserts. But they all looked very delicious. The shop is clean and beautiful and they have a kinds of items to try. Would recommend this place for dessert and coffee! Also sampled their earl grey cake and it was AMAZING. My friend thought so too

I've been meaning to try this place forrrrrrr foreverrr - I finally did and I'm glad it didn't disappoint! My friend and I shared two sandwiches. I got the okonomiyaki sandwich and my friend got the one with spam. The bread was very soft and the bonito flakes added a really nice umami to the eggs which were nice and fluffy. I also liked that the cabbage gave the sandwich added texture along side the bacon. The spam one was also really good too! We opted to wait to get coffee across the street so we ended up getting the black sesame cake for dessert. It was good! Not too sweet, and the container it comes in is also cute! The person who helped us was also very nice. She offered us water and was very patient with all the questions I had about their cakes hahah. The ambiance inside is pretty simple and casual. There's plenty of seating inside! Great place to catch up with friends!

Desserts are poetry served in tins--a sensory retreat wrapped in modernity. The space feels like an Instagram post brought to life: clean, minimal, and effortlessly charming. Service is warm and unhurried, an embrace that lets you linger in the glow of their curated offerings. This visit brought new encounters: the dirty sesame latte, Earl Grey cake, and "Pink Dream" (raspberry, rose, lychee). The dirty sesame latte was subtle, perhaps too much so. Its espresso was smooth, the brew confident, yet the sesame was almost a ghost. A drink that whispered when I wanted it to sing. It wasn't bad, but lacked the boldness I sought. The cakes, however, are where Pillow Talk shines. The Earl Grey cake--steeped in the essence of black tea--delivers an unapologetic punch. Each bite wraps you in the comfort of a morning brew, its flavors resolute and grounding. For tea lovers, this is a must. The Pink Dream, aptly named, is a tart symphony. Raspberry's sharpness meets the floral notes of rose, balanced by lychee's sweet serenity. It's a dance of flavors that refuses to settle--vivid, dynamic, and undeniably captivating. Though the drinks left room for growth, the cakes are Pillow Talk's soul. They are delicate yet bold, precise yet inviting. I'll return, knowing the cakes will always catch me when the drinks don't. This isn't just a café; it's a confectionary sanctuary where indulgence meets art. Two thumbs up, without hesitation.

I've had this spot saved on my Yelp bookmark forever because who can resist those pretty cakes in tin cans?! Finally went after a birthday lunch & it was just okay. The shop is small, but clean and cute. Had no issues with the service. I got the yuzu matcha, grape earl grey, chocolate crunch, and taro tin cakes plus the dirty sesame latte. The flavor profiles were interesting. It was super creative, but none of them blew my mind. All the cakes were gorgeous in color despite minor imperfections but I think the problem is that I got overhyped by how gram-able they are. Perhaps it's because they're premade so ahead of time that it's lost flavor or freshness. The latte was needed after the long walk here, but not that memorable either. There's a roasted black sesame milk tea in a shop in Arcadia that can't be beat. So overall taste was average for me, but there's a chance I'll give it a second chance one day since the creme brulee flavor I really wanted to try was out of stock.

Love the aesthetic of this café, I really enjoyed having a drink and the egg sandwiches as a little treat to myself. Parking is a little hard to find so street parking is a must for this area.

Cute Japanese fusion coffee and dessert shop. Highlights of the menu: 1. Sunny up side dessert - Mango coconut 2. Strawberry shortcake 3. Dirty sesame latte 4. Okonomiyaki sandwich

I got the tomago pork floss sandwich, and this was so good after a long day at work! The bite into the sandwich is so nice and it just melts in your mouth. Definitely worth a try if you're looking to get something that isn't too heavy.

This is a cute dessert shop in Pasadena and a overall nice spot to co-work at, I hung out with my co-worker! They have various items like cookies, pastries, desserts, sandwiches, cakes, sweet drinks, and coffee. They have good wifi but, unfortunately, no bathroom to use! All of their sandwiches look amazing, especially their Okonomiyaki sandwich, but I got their Mentaikoyaki, which comes with salty pollock roe, egg, cheese, dashi, mustard, and mayo. It was super delicious and savory but quite filling. I also had a nice Vanilla Almond Latte, which helped me finish off the day of work. It's definitely a hidden gem!

This place is such a vibe very cute and quaint. There are so many different flavours to choose from! Also friendly staff! Drinks come out relatively fast as well!! The most pleasant surprise was that they sell basque mini cheesecakes how cute is that!! Thank you Sarah for helping me decide which drink to get!! Must try 10/10!

Omg what a cute hidden gem!! The space itself looks small on the outside but once you go in you'll see there are plenty of tables to sit at. Such a great study spot (with outlets!!). I ordered the dirty sesame latte which I LOVED!! There is sesame in the drink and as a cold foam which pairs nicely with the latte, there's a smooth balance between the two. My order came out quickly and staff was patient while I was choosing what I wanted. Definitely stop by for amazing hand crafted drinks and a spot to hang out at.

I'd seen this recommend by others on the Facebook group SGV Eats and decided to give it a try. I got an Egg Heaven sandwich for myself and my bf, a taro ube cake and an earl grey grape cake. First I'll say the place itself is small but cute. The ladies working there was wonderful! I had a lovely conversation with Jacklyn (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) and it made the wait fly by. The sandwich was very tasty, but massively overpriced for the small portion. The taro ube cake...near flavorless and very dry. But the earl grey cake was unique and tasty. But neither were worth the price either. It's the pricing that's made this lose stars for me. I'd give it 3.5 if I could. But really that's because I enjoyed the conversation and the food was decent. But way too expensive to return.

Amazing how a simple egg sandwich can be so elegant! The tamagoyaki is like a layered soufflé of savory egg with just the right amount of zesty tang from the mustard. It's made to order so it was still warm and moist. The black sesame dessert was also a winner but I am a sucker for anything black sesame. It's layered black sesame airy cake and mousse. The dirty sesame latte was decadent with a layer of cream on top.

It's my first time here, and I like it a lot. A place with lots of drinks and snacks options. A place that's really good for afternoon tea with friends. They had good service, and the store is very clean. There's parking nearby and as well as street parking. Definitely will come back.

This is a cafe that has it all: coffee, handcrafted desserts, & egg sandos!!! What I tried on the menu: egg heaven + tamagoyaki, salted oreo + sunny side up, iced honey comb latte, ube latte Super cute ambiance inside with nice decorations on the walls, menu that is big and concise. The service was very fast and kind. Thank you pillowtalk!

Pillow Talk in Pasadena is a great place to stop by for lunch. It specializes in Japanese-style sandos and layer cakes. The Okonomiyaki sando, made to order and served warm, is delicious and also surprisingly filling. The layer cakes are made I n cute reusable silver tins. The earl grey grape stole the show for me! They also have artisan bakery items like cookies and matcha muffin tops. I got one of each and really enjoyed them. Service is friendly and helpful, but the cafe itself is a little odd. It was empty when I came and seemed to not get a ton of traffic. I also thought it was a little weird that a cafe wouldn't have a public restroom, but I asked nicely and staff let me use it. Sanitation could be improved. There's a vent on the ceiling that's pretty filthy. I noticed when a spider dangled down on a thread from the vent as I was eating. Overall, I'll be back for the food, but it's not the most atmospheric cafe around.

This is definitely a super cute spot that serves adorable cake tin desserts, drinks, and also some savory Japanese sandos! I tried a few of their cakes, and I really like the purple taro one.

Pillow talk makes such simple but delicious sandwiches. I had the pleasure of trying their egg heaven sandwich which had more flavor than I thought. Their cakes also come in this little tin can which makes it stand out from a typical slice of cake. Their matcha cake had a really good matcha taste, not too sweet and not too bitter. They also had this cake that looked like it had an egg on top, but it was mango and coconut flavor. Very creative and home-y concept. Definitely will check them out again next time I'm around Pasadena. Service was good and fast. The store is also very clean with tables for you to study while enjoying some dessert or small snack. Pillow Talk is very close to Pasadena City College and Cal Tech. Perfect for college students to check out.

We were walking down Lake Avenue in Pasadena and were halted in our tracks by the sign outside Pillow Talk. The promise of coffee festivities drew us inside. After some earnest consideration of the temptations available we ordered the Dirty Sesame Latte and the Honeycomb Latte. WOW!!! The sesame latte was wonderful! There was a nice nutty flavor to the rich latte. The honeycomb latte was amazing! There were crispy toasty chunks of honeycomb distributed over the top of the tasty latte. The sweet and flaky pieces of honeycomb melted into the delectable latte giving the coffee a full bodied toasty sweet honey flavor. Delicious! We loved our first visit to Pillow Talk and will come back in the future to try more of their wonderful options.
