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 😋

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.

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.

Love having a place that uses organic ingredients and has many gluten-free options. The food options are good, the chicken tastes very fresh, and the smoothies are good. Two things that would make this place better: a build-your-own smoothie or juice option and a restroom for guests. It is pricey, but it's organic, which I think is worth it. There are also not-so-pricey options. I would say if you can juice yourself, you'll save money and get a more pungent and alive juice, but if you're in a hurry, this is a good option!

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an incredible experience. Michelin-trained chef, Dean Yasharian and his team, including Austin really outdid themselves. From the attentive service, the amazing food, to the perfect wine pairings, I am so impressed by our experience. I couldn't believe they were able to accommodate my dietary restorations: gluten free and dairy free! All without skimping on flavor. I had an incredible dairy-free lobster bisque for the first time in years! “A Taste of Perle” menu was amazing!!!!

I love their Matcha and now I've had their Mocha which is also good. Once I shared their Tahini Brownie because it was gluten free. Good but easy too dense for me. Hit my stomach like a brick. I wish there were other options. Why 4 stars if everything is good because it is expensive and small. For the price it should be better or maybe a little bit bigger. I do like that they have outdoor seating because during Covid it's nice to be able to have coffee with a friend and stay on one place.

We have been fans of Little Flower for years and couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the desserts and cake for our wedding. We had a dessert bar for our guests and a smaller, two-tier personal cake just for us as the bride and groom. We met with Stephanie at the Little Flower location and got to sample the cookies and other desserts that we wanted. She provided great ideas of a variety of types of desserts (gluten free, chocolate, fruit, etc.) for the dessert bar. We worked directly with May to create a custom two-tier cake (see photo) with whatever flavor combinations we wanted and she utilized our colors and design to create a beautifully elegant cake. Not only did it look amazing, but tasted fresh and delicious as well as all of our desserts. Their prices were very reasonable for a 100-person wedding and I definitely would recommend using them for any type of event.

Not only the food is so delicious, but the level of care, the standard for quality and the kindness of the owner, Ed, are simply unmatched. We catered from M Grill for our event and the food accommodated our meat-lovers, vegan and gluten free diet. The food arrived on-time, piping hot, so well prepared to wow the guests with beautiful presentation. People loved the food and everyone was impressed! Ed was so easy to work with, kind, generous, and his true love, passion and dedication really shined through every step of the way. Strongly recommend M Grill for any event to please and wow a crowd. We look forward to catering from them again.

Best Vanilla Bean Latte I've ever had! 😋 Perfection: proportion of sweet to coffee flavor was spot on! "The Favorite" is definitely my favorite - egg, bacon, avocado, tomato and red onions - and I asked for it in a gluten-free tortilla. Yum! All the staff are friendly and professional! Establishment is very clean with several tables & chairs. My new favorite coffee shop!

I’ve been living in Pasadena since 2011 and somehow never knew about Perry’s Joint… literally a few blocks away from me. That’s one thing that truly surprised me. The fact that it’s so hidden it’s not wonder it remained a total mystery for so long. I’m glad I finally found out, feel like a true local now. 99% of the sandwich places I’ve been I ask “hey do you have gluten free? Can you do a lettuce wrap?” And they go “uhhhh no sorry” …at Perry’s they said absolutely and made me the best lettuce wrap I’ve ever had. EVER. And that was just one sandwich on the menu, there are so many amazing things I can’t wait to try!

This place gives the vibes of that Italian place you went to as a kid in your hometown. It is cute, the service is friendly, and the portions are rather sizable. It’s good, just not great. The Caesar has major mayo flavors going on, everything needs a bit more salt, and they clearly use cream in their carbonara. And onions? Which is kind of random, as cream nor onions belong in a carbonara. I will say that they have gluten free pasta and pizza options, so that is a plus!
