Editorial Review for Euro Pane – by Martha Burr
The Scene
Line up alongside the near-fanatical followers who swear by this hole-in-the-wall bakery. With sunny decor, as well as a few tables and chairs strewn about, it's the perfect place for Cal Tech students and faculty and nearby neighbors. Service is always friendly and helpful.
The Food
Sumi Chang cut her chops at La Brea Bakery's cafe, helping to perfect the croissant and, indeed, Euro Pane's croissants melt in the mouth. One taste of the chocolate croissant will release your French inner child: flaky, buttery, light layers of pastry surround an intense, bittersweet chocolate filling. The lemon bars are super citrusy, and the ginger scones zip up any boring English tea. Sandwiches like the dill-laced yogurt-chicken salad or the unsurpassed egg salad--velvety soft eggs, not quite hard-boiled, mixed with homemade mayo and mounded on sourdough toast--are always winners. It's worth showing up early for the flaky quiche filled with caramelized onions and kabocha squash.

Did I mention their lemon bars? I don't normally eat a lot of sweet treats...and wasn't really impressed with their sandwiches or croissants...but I will go for their lemon bars ANY TIME. I have to say some of their freshly baked breads are nice...chewy textures with crisp or crunchy crusts. I particularly like their oat breads when they sprinkle the tops with fresh oats. Again...I have to say... LEMON BARS. :-)

Everything at Euro Pane is top quality. Some of the best restaurants in the area get all of their bread from Euro Pane. The owner takes very careful efforts to make sure everything they serve there is good. As an example, when they put "lettuce" on their sandwiches, it isn't a big leaf of iceberg, it's mixed greens. Their coffee is excellent. I drink straight espresso, no sugar, so I notice bad coffee immediately. I find it highly amusing that someone criticized the croissants. They are perfect - crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Croissants anywhere else are very disappointing to me after eating them here. You might not think that a tuna salad sandwich is special, but they happen to make their tuna how I like it. I highly recommend the meatloaf sandwich, moist and tasty. If you like "slow" food come here.
