Gluten free Italian food! Pasta pizza, Italian sandwiches

Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff 😋

Best gluten free and vegan desserts! Lots of great variety

Nicole Johnson

Excellent allergy awareness! Felt so comfortable ordering celiac safe foods. The Mac and cheese was unparalleled!

Milie’s Cafe has so many options, from vegan to regular and gluten-free! I ordered the Devil’s Mess and it was packed with bold, delicious flavors. My hubby got The Usual with gluten-free pancakes and they were 🔥. We also loved their fresh, homemade orange juice, and the Blue Majik latte was a refreshing and tasty surprise. Highly recommend for a flavorful and inclusive brunch spot!

The food is great, the people are nice, and I’m definitely coming back! I’m gluten intolerant, so I’m stoked to find a place with quite a few delicious options for me!

The food and the overall restaurant is 5 Stars! I think we would have enjoyed ALOT more if we weren't in the middle of a heat wave here in LA because the seating is all outside and it got hot really quickly..but any other time this would be a great option for lunch! We came for brunch and the breakfast options DID NOT disappoint! I got the spinach and feta omelet, and it was so good! Everything is pretty much priced close to $20 a plate, but the food is worth it, and the portions are generous. I saw a lot of people getting the breakfast burrito, so it must be one of the more popular menu items. There's alot of parking behind the building. Also many gluten free options.

Giving my Review to a really, cozy and nice place. Sage Plant Based Bistro & Brewery Pasadena. 41 Hugus Aly, Pasadena, CA 91103. Food. I love food as I enjoy eating. And I appreciate it when someone makes food for me. There are different situations when you may feel thankful for the food and want to express gratitude. Dear Chef, I want to thank you for the beautiful, healthy, gourmet meal that was provided to me and my family last week. We greatly appreciate your efforts and kindness. It has been so helpful and has meant so much to our entire family. All the best and Blessings to all*+** This plate or meal it's not in the menu. Portobello Mushrooms. Garlic butter, Parsley, cherry tomatoes, arugula, baked potato, balsamic reduction, asparagus, mushrooms,fyh cheese, gluten free. 💯💕👍

Easy Sunday Club (Cathy Zhang)

Had lunch here for the first time. I like the variety of veggie options, gluten free friendly selections, and customer service. Food arrived promptly. Ashley was friendly and helpful to us. 5 star for service, 3 for food because the food seems too heavy for the healthy options, way too much sauce and dressing for my preference compared to True Food Kitchen.

First of all this is no longer called Valentines & there is a different name on street signage. It was hard for me to find & so when I arrived literally 3 minutes after they closed they acted like they were doing me a favor. I said all signage is different and there was no acknowledgement of the confusion. They knew I was flying in & had sent email and text confirmations - at any point that name change could have been clarified so I didn’t circle block 2x and end up walking around and asking at the TMobile on the corner. I could have excused all that if the cake was good. I eat GF all over the world due to a daughter with celiacs. This was one of the worst I’ve had. The outside of cake was beautiful & they wrote on it what I requested. Strawberry filling was also really good. Frosting was good too. But the cake itself was dry, odd tasting, odd colored for a vanilla cake. I hate to review a local business poorly but I wish I had gone elsewhere for my dad’s 90th bday cake. And maybe this review can save someone else the $ and experience

Best Vegan food in Pasadena!!! This place is so lovely and and the staff is so kind. They even hosted our rehearsal dinner some months back and I could not be happier with how everything turned out! They go above and beyond for their customers🙏✨ I love the lemonade, the caesar salad, really everything top to bottom. The desserts are SO awesome too and are *all* gluten free! The food is always fresh and appetizing. (Never too greasy like some vegan places!) You can come here time and again and know you are going to be satisfied. Highly recommend 💫🙌

Kelly Weber

Great vegan options that are clearly marked! They are also very aware of allergies such as gluten free. I got the peanut butter ice cream 50/50 with a scoop of cake batter cookie dough. Very yummy! Cute shop with bright sunlight and a nice outdoor patio.

Olivia Consterdine

The best gluten free ramen I’ve ever had. Staff was super helpful and patient helping me order gluten free/nightshade free. Got the basic house ramen and garlic oil and lots of green onions. Love the rice ramen noodles!

Coco Lopez

Excellent food, service, and variety. Great for celiacs as most items are gluten free. The felafel is amazing and the Lule kebab is so tasty. Babaganouch and hummus were on point. Loved it

Katy T

Honestly, it's one of the few Italian restaurants that knows how to cook gluten free pasta well. Worth a visit for that alone.

Renaissance Marie Austin

Let's just say I did the yummy dance. The fried tofu took me away. The dipping sauce was sensational with every bite. And my gluten free rice noodle soup with wild mushrooms. Unbelievably good. Broth, broth, broth. So aromatic.

Sophia Mitchell

A little expensive but the food is healthy and delicious. No problem eating here gluten free (Celiac disease). I like that the menu changes periodically
