Pillow Talk Cafe Pasadena

I tried the mango items and absolutely loved them! Super smooth, full of flavor, and so refreshing — highly recommend giving them a try!

A Tiny Bakery with Big Flavor Tucked away in the heart of Pasadena, a quaint little bakery is making waves with its delectable sandwiches and refreshing beverages. Despite its modest size, this gem offers a culinary experience that's anything but ordinary. A Sandwich Sensation: Indulge in their signature sandwich, a hearty and flavorful creation that's perfect for sharing. At around $13, you'll receive three generous half-sandwiches, making it an affordable and satisfying meal for two. A Matcha Marvel: For a refreshing pick-me-up, try their mango matcha. This delightful blend is not overly sweet, striking the perfect balance of fruity and earthy flavors. Convenient Dining: While the bakery doesn't offer lots of indoor seating, you can easily enjoy your meal outdoors. Simply find a spot on the nearby street, pay the meter, and savor the deliciousness.

This is Pasadena's best kept secret. Adorable cakes in a tin that are perfect for picnics or to take home. Literally couldn’t decide which one was my favorite—the mango one that looks like a sunny side up egg, but I think the matcha yuzu with the fluffiest chiffon cake definitely won. Besides sweets, they also have Japanese-style sandos. The staff recommended the one with pork floss--if you don’t know what pork floss is, give it a try, I guarantee it goes so well with the egg sando! Thanks for reading! ^-^

Absolutely need to try this gem. The drinks are superbly refreshing, the food delicious, the desserts heavenly. I will never forget how amazing this place is. They deserve so much love!

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!
