Jack's Coffee Roastery - South Pasadena

I just have good things to say about this place. I mean, think about it, it's a totally French place that's not in France. It represents in legit fashion; I had French friends and what did not enjoy coming there cuz reminds them of home. Is it perfect? No. It's a bit expensive, but you can't deny that they don't serve you substandard fair and that doesn't mean anything. I enjoy eating inside for the dark cozy feeling it has. It really is something; do you want a French cheese or some other kind of French stuff? You usually have... are they polite? Can you get alcohol? Yeah, you can. What is not to like, but please, don't go around there, don't pamper a nice place.

One of the most romantic places in southern Pasadena. It is a must visit place and enjoy French food and French wine from early morning and until 15:00. Location, people and service is simply wonderful.

I liked it! A French café with indoor and outdoor kitchen, as well as a gourmet market with all kinds of cheese pastries. We tried the Croque Monsieur Sandwich: French ham, Gruyere cheese, Bechamel and nutmeg on a baguette. Open cheese sandwich.

Great French bistro. Love their sandwiches. Back is amazingly good. Pear tart is my favorite. Good quality products. Prices are somewhat steep, but you get a good quality. Wines, cheeses, spices and other French products. And excellent service.

Great environment, coffee and perfect pasties. Super friendly people.... a bit pricey, but they have a good specialty cheese market with some flavors uniquely their own. A little cheese and wine, and Nicole's makes a simple life quite special. South Pasadena Museum is right next door. The neighborhood is a wonderful place to stroll and explore nearby the flavors of old California after you've enjoyed a leisurely cup of perfect coffee and pastry.
