If you are like me you are always looking for a place to eat breakfast and a good place nonetheless.

Here’s a short list of some of the best options for breakfast in the Pasdaena area. Not in any order, will start to rank these based on feedback.

Yahari’s – df – near Vroman’s, in the same mall as El Portal. Favorite spot for breakfast, friendly staff, consistently quality.

Green Street –

Central Park –

Novel Cafe Pasadena – df –

Russell’s – Old Pasadena
Visited 10am on Sunday, Jan 12, 2014, the food is very good, the decor is also well appointed.
Wait here can be upwards of 1 hours on Sundays. If you do come on Sunday be sure to visit the Farmer’s Market every Sunday, you could end up having enough samples to kill your appetite. Fairly small location, but open kitchen. Hashbrowns are excellent.
Water Rank: 7
Coffee Rank: 8

Eurpopane – two locations

Bar Celona/Sorriso –  brunch – df

La Grande Orange – df on patio

Cafe Verde

Urth Cafe –

Mi Piace -df

Du-Par’s – new just opened about a week ago, in the space previously occupied by Hamburger Hamlet.

Andy’s Coffee Shop – locals hangout.

Marston’s – small house on Walnut near Raymond. Packed on on weekends.

Guss BBQ – South Pas – patio df
Mike & Anne’s – SPAS patio df

One thing that review sites should do is grade or allow users to rank, water and coffee.  Especially breakfast places. nothing worse than having chlorinated water in the morning.
