NOSTALGIC CAFE — Restaurant in Pasadena

Nostalgic Cafe is a quaint vintage-style coffee shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. This cafe creates an atmosphere reminiscent of the past as evidence by its light fixtures, aged wood furnitures and art decor.

I think it is a blooming new addition to the Pasadena coffee scene, providing customers with a cozy space, a moment of peace and a delicious menu of coffee, breakfast, pastries, bagels and more! One can posit that the owners did due diligence on the decorations and layout of the coffee shop. We ventured to check-out this new cafe; we were perfunctorily greeted by a middle aged grey bearded male staff on the counter. I perused their modest menu. And I decided to procure a French toast x berries and a hot Levander Latte. The food was fresh, warm and delightful. Similarly, the hot latte was perfectly made to my liking.

Service was on point. Staff were professional and competent. Atmosphere was relaxing. Indoor and outdoor seats were limited. Free wifi. Finding street Parking in the area is always challenging but plenty of parking lots.

Overall, I enjoyed their latte and F/T breakfast. I will definitely come back and try other stuff. And I recommend this...

this new cafe is an absolute hit! and it's dog-friendly!🐶

the decor and coffee tables are such a unique touch to the business, it truly lives up to its name as the cafe holds so many items that we don't see much of anymore (grandfather clock, vintage vinyl player)

we tried the classic breakfast ($17) and were so impressed by how fresh the bacon not only tasted but how perfectly cooked it was🥓

my lovely friend got the pistachio bagel with cream cheese and jam of the day (strawberry). She stated it was the perfect mix of getting both savory and sweet! Pistachios were toasted to perfection and added a great nutty taste.

The matcha rose latte is an absolute must, it's not an overpowering match taste to not overwhelm you.

They have a selection of backed goods everyday and have some of the most soothing music, making it truly a perfect place to do work, or just hang out if you need a break from reality
