Euro Pane is very unassuming, both in store front and location, but it’s a real gem. My favorite place in Pasadena.

That is the greatest looking egg salad sandwich I have ever seen. If I’m ever in Pasadena, I’m going. Thanks for the recommendation.

That Egg Salad SW is The Best!! You can get it with different bread if you wish.

Go in the morning for the best & freshest selection.

oh my that is some serious food porn! that egg salad looks fantastic, although I squinted at the description of the bread having currants in it…

I went there with a friend once when it was brand new – no one was there. It was so pleasant to have a croissant and coffee and watch the traffic without feeling rushed or crushed. I’m delighted to hear it’s still going strong.

The parking used to be a bear – I hope they figured that out. If you like croissant, go up Lake to Washington Blvd and turn right. Almost to the intersection with Altadena Drive, on the right, there used to be a wonderful Armenian bakery.

It’s very birthday-cake oriented, but on Saturday mornings you can buy a croissant (one with salty goat cheese or one with sweet almond paste – I preferred cheese) that is really, really tasty. It’s crispy on the outside and hot and chewy inside. Also, they run out. Get there early. Also, they’re not what you’d call super-friendly. Nice enough – nice by New York standards.

These are different from Euro-pane, but I’m curious what you’ll think. They sell cookies, too, and the cookies are cheap! So if you need a platter of cookies for an easy dessert or for students or something, these are great. I used to get two dozen little baklava-type cookies for about $20.

I went there with some friends last year and got really excited when I saw the french macarons. I got the sea salt caramel one as well and didn’t even realize there was a small smattering of sea salt on it because they gave it to me upside down. I found it too sweet and when I figured out there was sea salt to cut the sweetness, I wished they had sprinkled the salt all over! I guess it doesn’t look as pretty that way. =)
