Pillow Talk Cafe Pasadena

First time coming to this establishment, the staff was very kind and helpful when we asked for recommendations; Love the fact that its so close to PCC, will definitely be coming for a pre-class matcha!

This is an ok treat cafe. It's worth it to try just once, but I probably won't return. The cakes are adorable! The presentation is perfect. They are not very sweet, which might be great depending on your taste. The sunny side up cake still tasted good, although the sponge cake layer was dry and it didn't have enough fat to give it a good flavor. Unfortunately, the service is not very good. It took a few minutes for the shopkeeper to acknowledge us when we entered. I also didn't feel very welcome while I was there. I felt like the people there wanted me to buy my cakes and leave immediately.

This is Pasadena's best kept secret. Adorable cakes in a tin that are perfect for picnics or to take home. Literally couldn’t decide which one was my favorite—the mango one that looks like a sunny side up egg, but I think the matcha yuzu with the fluffiest chiffon cake definitely won. Besides sweets, they also have Japanese-style sandos. The staff recommended the one with pork floss--if you don’t know what pork floss is, give it a try, I guarantee it goes so well with the egg sando! Thanks for reading! ^-^

Pillow Talk made it on my list of places to try while I’m in Pasadena for work. The egg sandwiches and chiffon cakes caught my eye and they didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Egg Heaven, which was egg salad and chives with a hard boiled egg sandwiched in between lightly toasted bread. It was delicious! To satisfy my sweet tooth, I opted for the Pink Lover chiffon cake which was a perfect blend of raspberry jelly and lychee mousse topped with fresh raspberries. It was nice, blend of berry and lychee flavor, very fluffy and not too sweet. While I was bummed that they didn’t have the sunny side up, which was a mango and coconut medley, the Pink Lover made up for it. The vibe was cute. I would definitely recommend for a really good Japanese style egg sandwich & unique dessert options from the black sesame chiffon cake topped with edible gold to the Taro Ube chiffon cake.

This freaking oat honey latte was amazing... glorious, wonderful! I made a vow not to buy any sort of coffee at a shop unless it was something unique that I couldn't easily make at home, which is why I jumped at this latte with honeycomb in it. It started out so smooth and perfectly creamy with just the right sweetness. The honeycomb melts and continues to sweeten the drink as it sits in the drink. In the end, it was a little sweeter than I generally liked, but it was still really good. The chocolate moouse strawberry cake was lovely as well. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll be stopping by grabbing a coffee!
