Reviews for Nicole's Market & Cafe in South Pasadena, CA

Second time here today, both times we had omelettes, ham and cheese, and salmon with goat cheese, we also got a carrot soup, and... Greek salad! We've fallen in love with this quaint small French cafe . I need to plan a time to have some cremant rose and acheese plate. Portions are very substantial, service is warm and welcoming, and low key jazz and AC is the best. Read more

Very good tuna sandwich and vegan salad. Could a little work on their customer relations area. Other then that, would recommend... this place. Read more

Feels like having breakfast at my own backyard patio. Friendly and relaxing atmosphere!

I only have good things to say about this place. I mean, think about it, it's a totally French place place that's not in France.... It represents in the legit fashion; I've had French friends and whatnot enjoy coming there cuz it reminds them of home. Is itperfect? Well, no. It is a bit expensive but you can't deny that they don't serve you substandard fair and that doesn't meannothing. I enjoy eating inside for the dark cozy feel it has. It truly represents something; do you want some french cheese orsome other type of French stuff? They usually have it- are they polite? Well, yes. Can you get alcohol there? Well, yes you can.What is there not to like but please, don't go mobbing there; don't spoil a nice place. Read more

Come hungry?..Leave hungry. Portion control alert! When you pay $14 for a sandwich and leave starving something isn?t right.... Check out the photo - caprese sandwich has four minuscule mozzarella balls and some pretty unripe tomatoes. Service anemic andrude and other reviews seem to agree - this place is a rip off and Nicole is spinning in her urn somewhere in disgust. Read more

Great French bistro. Love their sandwiches. Pastries are amazingly good. Pear tart is my favorite. Good quality products. Prices... are a bit steep but you are getting great quality. Wines, cheeses, spices, and other french goods. And excellent service. Read more

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. SouthPasadena Museum is right next door. The neighborhood is a wonderful place to stroll and explore nearby the flavors of oldCalifornia after you've enjoyed a leisurely cup of perfect coffee and pastry. Read more

I liked it! A French Cafe with indoor and outdoor dining, plus a Gourmet market with all sorts of cheeses & pastries. We tried... the Croque Monsieur Sandwich: French ham, Gruyere cheese, Bechamel and nutmeg on a baguette. Open faced ham & cheese Sandwich. Read more
