Lavender & Honey has always been one of my cozy go-to spots in Pasadena, and today’s chopped Italian salad reminded me why.
The salad came beautifully put together in a compostable box – generous layers of crisp lettuce topped with sliced salami arranged like a little flower, plenty of chickpeas, shredded cheese, black olives, and fresh diced tomatoes, plus two containers of dressing on the side so nothing gets soggy. Every bite had a good mix of textures and flavors—salty, tangy, and super satisfying without feeling too heavy.
It’s the perfect quick lunch: fresh ingredients, good portion size, and that relaxed café vibe Lavender & Honey is known for. I’d definitely order this chopped Italian salad again next time I’m craving something savory but still on the lighter side.

Very cute little coffee shop that had a great menu and lots of additional things for your eyes to wander over, like the local honey.
This is a great place to chill, meet your friends, and have a quick bite while you read. The staff is very thorough, super charismatic, and very knowledgeable about their craft.
I’ll definitely continue to visit this spot while I’m in town. Be warned, bring a fully charged laptop/phone if you plan to do any work here. And bring and open appetite to try something new!

I mean take a look what a $7.00 can get you for an avocado toast. A smudge of avocado & red pepper. It just gets worse every time. They can definitely afford to put 2 smudges. All it did is wake up my appetite. Latte was just ok with no foam just a flat milk and espresso. It’s not even a latte.
Maybe need to retrain, So many better coffee shops now. Just disappointed to put that much money of nothing.

First sip of their amaretto orange latte sent Lavender and Honey right to the top for my California vacation espresso extravaganza! Only matched by Jones Coffee and Red Shift, this is one special spot doing the baristas of the world proud. We all enjoyed a quick Sunday morning take out but were confused why they did not have the other drinks ready but waited on everything for us to show up to begin the toast to ensure that was fresh. Small matter since we had time and this space is easy to enjoy. Wish I could’ve stayed! Need to move to California for sure.

delightful local spot for coffee and toast, especially on a work trip. got the cream cheese 2 mornings in a row and it was worth it. a lovely way to start the morning.

Very cute coffee shop with great tasting coffee. I added cinnamon to a vanilla latte and it was very tasty. They do have some indoor and outdoor seating but it was quite busy with a line when I visited around 10 am on a weekday. Despite the size of the line they got through the orders fairly quickly and it didn’t take as long as I anticipated. They have a lot of unique lavender and honey combinations of coffees to try out.

Great place for coffee…lattes and such.Even tried a tea latte there for the first time…it was really tasty.Lots of unique things to order and most recently I bought some things off the little table they have. Pistachio butter and Dill Mayo…both sooooo good. The only feedback I have it please get a couple sugar free syrups. I’d be there way more often if you had them.

Very busy little cafe, but the line moved quickly enough and I was able to find a seat. Staff were all super friendly. I enjoyed their seasonal apple butter parfait so much that I now make a copy-cat version at home.

Very cute spot ! Gave me hipster vibes . The line was always long . They had a lot of staff helping out working inside so we didn’t wait too long for the coffee . Their pastries I think are from other vendors and not baked in house but they were tasty . We ordered a brown sugar latte and salted caramel latte. I appreciate the 8 ounce option.! The coffee itself is pretty good. Not as strong , but I just read that they use clutch coffee, which is probably why I’m not a huge fan of klatch! Although they did make a pretty decent cup of coffee!
