Balthazar Cafe - Pasadena

Love this place. Friendly staff and great coffee and food. Been here for breakfast and lunch and have been impressed with everything I've ordered. Love the paninis and pasta especially

Surprised to see just 38 reviews so far..... for a place that's been doing so well for 4+ years. I rated 4/5 purely bcos this is the only cafe besides sumac where you can get good coffee, in the vicinity until 9pm.The staff consistently provide a friendly service. Draws a lot of family crowd from the nearby retirement villages. Latte is the best bet. Most of the breakfast options are good esp lepinja. Pizzas and risottos are very average.i have never tried steak there but my friends love the sea food platter and salmon.

My husband and I visit Balthazar Cafe regularly and have never left disappointed. The pizza, pasta and main dishes are excellent and very plentiful for the price. Garlic bread and salad very fresh also. The owner/ manager is very warm and personable along with a service staff that always make our meal a great experience. <br/ <br/ We have been so impressed with the food, staff and ambiance of the cafe we recently held our sons Christening function for 100 people on a Sunday afternoon. Charlie Christian ensured everything was organised from setting up the venue, to providing a three course meal of shared platters (happily accommodating some of our vegan and vegetarian family and friends). Our guest were equally as impressed and as full as we were. <br/ <br/ A small restaurant that deserves our sincerest gratitude and compliments on a fantastic function! <br/ <br/ 5 STARS! <br/

Highly recommended.  We have been once only so far and will definitely go back.  The pizza was really one of the best of I've ever had......and I'm very fussy about my gourmet style pizzas.  Great choices for every age, great family atmosphere and very friendly service.  Good Italian style coffee!  Lenore

Option good, service good. we're going back. food: 3/5 service: 3/5 atmosphere: 3/5 .more
