"If you live in Pasadena, you have probably been to Marston's- but you have definitely seen the line in front of it. The line partially obscures the old charming cottage facade. Marston's is a popular breakfast and brunch spot opened back in 1987. It is cozy and home-y. If you have a free morning, and don't mind a line, the brunch is indeed worth the wait. Pulled pork benedict and french toast should get the job done- but just to be sure, get an extra side of Grandma's oatmeal to line your ribs." - OSSO

"It's a Front Porch Kind of Morning This cozy little restaurant is the perfect place to start your day. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch, and try the French toast—heavenly. Marston's has all sorts of options for breakfast and lunch, and—if you call them in advance—they'll even make you a picnic basket to go."

Enjoyed the patio seating in the morning, was more calm and quiet having seen how crowded it was inside. I enjoyed my omelette very much. I did try a bite of the pulled pork eggs Benedict, not much flavor there. They do have their own parking lot, but it’s very small. There is some street parking available. Wasn’t aware of the 3% surcharge for using a credit card.

Definitely one of the most popular breakfast restaurants in all of Pasadena. It’s very laid-back and you feel as if you are eating inside someone’s home. The wait times are never as long here as some other restaurants close by but also it’s not the best option in town. Russell‘s, a few blocks away, is the best breakfast in Pasadena in my opinion, but Marston’s is still worth visiting. They have an extremely tiny and narrow parking lot with free parking otherwise it will be street parking. They have a fairly large menu filled with a lot of good options and our server was very polite. Inside is not very large and just has table seating, there is not a counter. The food here is good, but not great. For my first visit I chose the special - Crab Cake Benedict and thought it was just OK. The crabcakes did not have as much flavor as I had recently and I really did not enjoy the side of potatoes. I would suggest offering hashbrowns instead. I also felt it was a bit overpriced for what we got in return and honestly I don’t think I would visit again given the other breakfast options close by.

A fantastic breakfast/brunch option in a cozy setting. The food was delicious and well prepared. Staff are very nice and welcoming. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu consists of all of the classic breakfast options. Overall a great and filling experience.

Delightful, cozy little restaurant with exceptional service. We ordered California omelet and French toast. Savory and sweet. Coffee and toast was great. Can’t wait to return soon.

I went to have breakfast with my daughter. Place is more of a breakfast spot. Nice small litlle secluded. But I enjoyed it, the food was amazing! I had two sunny side eggs with potatoes, and sausage and some toast.

Lovely little hidden gem for breakfast dishes. The French toast is one of the best I’ve ever had. An absolute must-try. Update: recently visited the restaurant for Sunday brunch and decided to try some non-breakfast items. We had the regular burger, the crispy chicken sandwich, and the rio grande tuna melt. They were all great. We all especially liked the refreshing side Jicama salad. I highly recommend adding the caramelized onions and chipotle peppers to the tuna melt. I have to mention, the service was very slow. Servers were helpful and nice, just a little slow. We had to wait quite a while even though there weren’t many customers at the restaurant.

This place serves classic American food, best known for their breakfast and lunch. Their French toast is quite famous. The menu has not changed much in the last few years . My California omelette was delicious but came out really oily. The potatoes were also oily and were not evenly cooked. So sad about the quality of the food today.
