Little Flower Candy Co. Restaurant Review

: Christine Moore used to be a pastry chef at restaurants like Campanile before becoming a stay-at-home mom. She experimented with artisanal candy making and won acclaim for her pleasantly chewy caramels and marshmallows flavored with cinnamon, chocolate or coffee. After selling online or through gourmet shops and bakeries across the country, she finally opened a shop of her own in Pasadena’s scenic San Rafael neighborhood, across the Colorado Bridge from the center of town. In addition to dispensing sweets, she operates a café in the homey space, offering good coffees and pastries in the morning and more substantial fare for lunch. Sandwiches include rare roast beef with aïoli, curried chicken with apricot chutney, and pastrami with spicy brown mustard on an Italian roll. All are quite reliable, and Moore’s mushroom and leek quiche alongside a beet and goat cheese salad dressed with sherry vinaigrette is a perfect prelude for some sweet caramels.
