What about Le Pain Quotidien?

Le Pain Quotidien is a bakery / restaurant - similar to Panera but more wholesome and DELICIOUS! Not to mention they offer organic and vegan options. All of the egg items are made with Organic eggs.

I ordered the asparagus and goat cheese omelette. It was very good. They are generous with the goat cheese. There is enough "extra"cheese oozing out to spread on the 2 pieces of fresh baked bread they give along side the omelet and side salad. Speaking of the bread, make sure your entree comes with bread so that you can spread the delicious jelly and praline spread on it. The mixed berry jelly tastes so natural and "fresh", it's like eating the actual fruits. The praline spread is a lighter, less chocolatey version of Nutella. This praline spread is SO GOOD, a must try, and you may want to go as far as picking up a jar to take home, at $9 it's a worthwhile investment!

My husband ordered the Parmesan and Pesto omelette. He said it was very good. He is not much into the whole organic, healthy, good-for-you eats, but he said this was really good. So much so that I did not get to taste his omelette, he devoured it before I could get a bite in! But it did look equally delicious to mine. I also have to mention the great service we received. Our server was Joel, according to the receipt. They get pretty busy. We were there around 12noon, but they managed to fit everyone in and serve you rather quickly!

Parking is on the side parking structure. The first 90 minutes are free, just enough time!

I totally recommend Le Pain Quotidien in Pasadena, CA.
