Nicole's Market Cafe - South Pasadena

This neighborhood cafe is excellent, with a nice menu and great coffee, tea, and wine options. You place your order at the counter and a server brings it to your table. They also have gourmet foods and gifts for sale. I tried the croque madame and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is quiet enough for a conversation, and the staff is very pleasant.

Delicious smoked salmon and feta cheese omelette paired with a glass of Sancerre and accompanied by fantastic jazz music.
