Cafe Ciabatta, New in Pasadena
Welcome to the Neighborhood
Coming Soon to Pasadena!
A Simple Idea, Done Well
Cafe Ciabatta in Pasadena is a brand new cafe concept brought to you by Chris Ingallina - the founder of the legendary Ingallina's Box Lunch, a catering company that has been serving Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon for over 30 years - and Luis Mendez, Chris's long time collaborator and fellow food enthusiast.
Fresh Food for Real Life
The mission of Cafe Ciabatta is to serve delicious, fresh food in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The menu runs from healthy and refreshing to comforting and decadent. We want you to feel like you are wandering into a little cafe in Italy, where you can stay anywhere from five minutes to three hours, whether that is a quick espresso and pastry or a pizza with your coworkers.
Hello, Pasadena!
Cafe Ciabatta's menu is based partially on the tried and true recipes that were perfected at Ingallina's Box Lunch, and partially based on an expanded menu of warm comfort foods - specifically Pizzas and Hot Sandwiches. We are known for making our own in-house sandwich bread, pizza crusts, and assorted bakery items. We also make almost everything from scratch - sauces, dressings, dips, even our candied walnuts and salad croutons are made in-house!
This Is Just the Beginning
It has long been a dream of Chris's to open a brick and mortar cafe, to have a place to welcome and invite people, and finally after 30+ years of perfecting a menu and delivering food across 3 major cities, this dream has finally been made a reality. We can't wait for you to visit our brand new cafe in Pasadena!
