Europane Bakery: A Taste of Europe in Pasadena

The breads are baked fresh daily; Baguette, Ciabatta, Sourdough, Rosemary Currant, Multi-grain… the list goes on and on. They have that authentic fresh-baked, homemade taste; you’ll know you’re eating bakery bread, not store bread.

The pastries are also delicious. Though Europane does carry favorites like bran muffins, eclairs, and lemon bars, the ones that set them apart are the rustic european specialties. Try a blueberry brown butter tart, or a miniature apple pie, or a french macaroon (not a traditional macaroon; they are small and round and come in all kinds of colors and flavors. They showed them in the movie Marie Antoinette… so maybe you’ve seen them). My personal favorite (aside from the macaroons that make you feel like 18th century French royalty) is the cinnamon roll (pictured above). It goes great with a hot latte.

If you’re in the mood for something a little more substantial, Europane has some great sandwhiches. The tomato feta, made from fresh juicy tomatoes is always a great choice. The egg salad (served open faced on your choice of bread) has been gaining popularity after a recent Food Network special on it. The secret? Maybe it’s the sun-dried tomatoes underneath the egg… or maybe the toasted bread. Either way it’s delicious. A secret that has not yet been discovered by the food network is the salmon salad, served with a refreshing mango salsa.

Europane has a laid-back atmosphere; its an ideal place to relax with a cup of coffee after school or work. You can enjoy a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant while chatting with one of the friendly counter servers.

Nothing tastes artificial or processed because…. well, nothing is. This place is definitely a favorite!

**If you can’t get enough Europane, a second location just opened up less than a mile west on Colorado Blvd.
