Europane Bakery Cafe - Pasadena

A little discarded by temporarily closed - we were there last Sunday, so I hope this is not true! (Edit: I was apparently in the other place! I have the egg salad with open sandwich and it was absolutely divine! I've never had a better egg salad sandwich. The portion size is huge; there is so much egg salad and it is delicious! The bread (I have the rosemary was great and had a thin layer of something like Marinara sauce (but more paste less stew that I really enjoyed. I'll think about this egg salad sandwich until I get back. I also have a croissant that was beautiful and flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. We almost passed this place, we tried other options in the area, but everything had a waiting time of 45-90min, but I'm so glad we landed here! Oh and the interior is also beautiful. There are also outdoor seating. Edit: I apparently went to the other place!!

Her egg salad cranberry walnut sandwich was earlier sooooo good I would try google her recipe years ago. Today I suddenly believed and came to find that it has become tasteless and dry and only really sad piece of overpriced stuff. The cranberry walnut bread does not seem to have any of the ingredients. My husband ordered the Mediterranean sandwich with sourdough, the same thing, really dry and tasteless. The given bread was not sour, only normal white bread. It seems they've changed property and I guess they haven't passed any real recipes.

Sadly this place feels like its slowly dying. At 9 in the morning it was almost empty and there was only 1 person working.The pastry case was mostly empty (remember when it was busy and bursting with pastry!? and the food we ordered was so bad that we threw it away. The latte was fine and the cold brew was terrible.We also had to wait 20 minutes even though we were the only people ordering.

Found this place on Yelp and it has high stars some good reviews. A lot of folks out here expressing themselves on how good the egg sandwich is. Sorry but honestly $13 for what I got no, it's not worth it. The eggs were completely bland and I don't know about that tomato/ pasta sauce on it, didn't compliment the flavor with the egg. The bread wasn't fully toasted so it was soft in the center. I ordered 3 additional muffins hopefully those are good didn't try those yet . Overall price for sandwich and 3 muffins $28 Pretty expensive

Highly recommend their egg salad sandwich! They recommend the sandwich with their rosemary bread or their cranberry/walnut bread. I was lucky enough to live close by and would walk here for brunch on the weekends. My Fave is their egg salad sandwich, though I've had their croque madame and pastries, too (Spoiler, also, good options). Good coffee, as well. Fast forward, I moved and Covid happened. So big tip, definitely call before you make the trip out, to confirm they are open! During the pandemic, I drove by every few months, checking if they were open. My attempts weren't consistent, by any means, but many times, they weren't open despite what their posted hours are. I once walked in, excited that I made it in while they were open, and they didn't have any of the egg sandwich anymore--boo-hoo. I finally was able to get in order my egg salad, and I noticed they have a help wanted sign posted. I'm assuming they're majorly shorthanded. Also, their pastry and macaron options have slimmed down. You'll still find a few pastry options and cookies, all delicious.
