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 😋

Unbelievably good. After a few years of a gluten allergy, I didn’t think I could eat desserts that are this phenomenal. And vegan, too! The molasses cookie was fantastic but the Samoa cookie pie was incredible (and brought back so many good memories of Girl Scout cookies I can no longer eat!) Will definitely be back and will be recommending widely!

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. 💯💕👍

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.

I'm visiting from out of town and was excited to fine a gluten free bakery near my hotel. I showed up at 9am on Saturday and they were not open. I waited 10minutes and finally got the attention of an employee who didn't know when they would be open and kept saying she had no food ready. Horrible service, why have business hours at all if you won't keep to them.

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 💫🙌

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.

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

The Pizza Plant offers some of the best pizza in California. If you’re considering the gluten-free option but are worried about receiving yet another thin cardboard like crust, fret not; the pizza plant had figured out a way to make beautifully soft and chewy crust which happens to be gluten-free.

I always enjoy most of their food. If you don't eat certain things like gluten, milk etc. Be sure to ask them if they serve items in their food.
