Panos Bakery — Restaurant in Pasadena

This morning I was excited to try a new place, however, my excitement wore off fast. As I entered the doorway I noticed there was nothing out to purchase and I asked if they were open and had a menu or something to order from, even though the sign said they were open. The lady at the counter did not speak the language and had another lady come out to assist. DISCLAIMER: I come from a family who immigrated to the US. The lady rudely asked me what I wanted and I said I don't know, it was my first time there. She rattled off a few things really fast and I asked her to repeat it because she went so fast and I couldn't understand anything except spinach and cheese. She proceeds to says so what do you want? I said what do you have available now and she said nothing. I said well you are open, correct? She said yes. I said if I order something when would it be ready. She couldn't answer.
