Great food and friendly service. Very small place. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. If you're not there early be expecting to wait 45 mins for your food. That's how busy this place gets. The food was worth the wait tho. Hojicha Tea Iced w/ Oatmilk: 4/5 Breakfast Burrito: 4.5/5 read more

Probably the best breakfast burrito in Pasadena. Go with the bacon or chorizo if you like a little spice. The guac adds a nice fresh flavor that goes really well with their chipotle sauce. The whipped tiramisu is also a 10/10. Just make sure you order the whipped version and not the latte like I did lol. The place itself is cozy, tucked away upstairs off Colorado Blvd. It's got a nice laid back atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. Definitely one of those spots you could easily walk past without knowing it's there. Glad I found it because I'll be back. read more

A little gem in Pasadena! I'm so happy we ended up choosing this spot for breakfast! It has its own parking lot (huge bonus in downtown Pasadena)! The wait time wasn't too crazy on a Saturday morning, we waited 20 minutes for a party of 5. The sitting area is a bit small, but they do offer in-door and out-door seating. It does get busy, but the food and drinks are definitely worth it! Let's get to it! The COFFEE was so good! I got a hot mazapan latte, which I was little scared would be sweet! But it wasn't, the flavor was balanced and you could enjoy the coffee and nuttiness of the mazapan. My friends got a vanilla latte and a white chocolate latte! They also emphasized how good the coffee was, all three were the perfect balance of coffee, milk and sweetness. BREAKFAST-wise, their menu has so many great options! Everything looks very delicious, from the burrito to the waffles! I ended up getting the chilaquiles verdes and let me just say I'm already thinking of going back soon for them! The tortilla chips were still crunchy, I didn't even have one soggy one! The green salsa had a nice kick to it, not overly spicy but just right! I added chorizo to mine and that just completed the dish for me! I typically prefer red chilaquiles but these were SO GOOD! read more

My friend and I came in at around 1pm on a Sunday and the wait wasn't bad, just 15 minutes for a table. There is a parking lot in the back, which is really great in Pasadena. The staff was kind and attentive even though I can see how busy it was. You order your meal first then you get seated at a table. We were seated outside and it was cute. Salmon Avocado: They put a lot of salmon on the bread. It was filling! The onions gave a nice crunch and added much flavor to the dish. I personally liked it, it was fine. Lechera waffle: It was really good. The waffle was soft and fluffy. It had condensed milk and lots of strawberries and bananas. The strawberries were sweet. Potatoes: Seasoned well and crunchy yet soft in the inside. Very solid potatoes. I would come again! read more

It's been a while since I've had such a delicious breakfast! My toddlers split the waffle combo, I tried the French toast combo, and my husband tried the pancake combo. Each was delicious! They don't offer huge portions, but we were full and happy. The fruit was fresh and ripe (my daughter was delighted with the orchids on top), the bacon was thick and crispy and the syrup was delicious. We also tried the tiramisu latte and the caramel latte (pictured) which were also delicious and perfect. The gentlemen who served us were kind and patient. We sat outside because it was a lovely day and it was clean and covered. We will definitely be back! read more

Very disappointing. It was busy so we sat outside which we were fine about. Unfortunately our coffees arrived about 20 mins later and then our food arrived another 30 mins later but only my plate came. My husband's took another 10 minutes. I ordered an omelet with crispy bacon. Well my bacon was basically raw. My husband ordered another coffee which never arrived. All this time no one checked on us. We had to flag someone down. I get it when a place is busy but I don't think they are staffed properly to provide good service. read more

Stumbled upon this place on a whim after an early morning walk and it was great! I got an iced banana matcha with oat milk and the breakfast burrito with no adjustments. The place was busy during Saturday early morning and it seemed to stay consistently busy. The three of us waited around 20 minutes to be seated. There was some indoor seating, as well as outdoor patio seating. Everything in the burrito tasted sooo fresh and the chili mayo sauce that came with it complimented it well. I would come back for the burrito for sure. The matcha wasn't the best I've ever had (however everyone has their own preference). However, as a banana lover, I liked how the drink had actual banana puree and the taste was prevalent. read more

A neighborhood favorite, Old Town Caffe is one of those spots that you think about often. Opening early with indoor and outdoor seating, this spot has plenty of seating to accommodate any group. I had an excellent dining experience, ordering their special French toast with eggs. I opted for scrambled. The presentation was amazing and the staff are sweet. I love how extensive their drink and coffee menu is. I'll definitely be back. Parking is plentiful in the back. read more

Yesterday was my first time stopping by, and all I came in for was a matcha. Unfortunately, my experience at the counter was not very pleasant. When I ordered a matcha, the employee asked if regular milk was okay, and I said oat milk was fine. However, I was never informed that oat milk was an additional $1 charge. She also never asked what size I wanted and then told me to pay. When I looked at the screen, I saw that the total was $7 for a large. I only wanted to spend around $5-$6, so I asked if I could get a small instead. I was surprised to see that the price was still the same. When I asked why, she then explained that oat milk was a $1 up charge and she didn't charge me on the large order for oatmilk. I don't mind paying the extra dollar, but I feel customers should be informed about an additional charge before being charged for it. Also, if getting a large was actually the better deal, I would have appreciated being told that. What made the interaction more frustrating was that the employee seemed distracted and dismissive while her coworker was talking to her. I ended up getting the small, even though I was confused about the pricing. The matcha itself was good, but unfortunately, because of the customer service experience, I don't think I'll be returning. I don't expect anything special--just clear communication about pricing and to be asked what size I'd like before being charged. read more

Date of visit: May 8, 2026 Selections: Lechera Waffle Chilaquiles Verdes Experience: I was craving waffles and decided to give this place a try after scrolling through the DoorDash app. This place drew me in because they offered chilaquiles too, so I got an order of lechera waffles and their chilaquiles verdes. The delivery took about 50 minutes to get to me after ordering and I was a bit nervous about how soggy both would be, especially the chilaquiles since I like when the chips are mostly hard still. I was pleasantly surprised and thankful that the salsa for the chilaquiles came on the side and though the waffle wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be, it was thick and fluffy and tasted great with the toppings. The salsa for the chilaquiles had a kick to them that I enjoyed and it went great with the cheese, red onions, and sunny side egg that came with it. I definitely would want to check this place out in person and try their other options as well! read more

Absolutely loved Old Town Caffe! The food was delicious, fresh, and made with care. The croissant egg and sausage sandwich was a standout--the croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, and the sandwich was so satisfying. The French toast was delicious and perfectly sweet, and the açaí bowl was fresh, refreshing, and loaded with great toppings. What made the experience even better was the amazing service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and creating a great experience. read more

All went well here. I had a little trouble finding the location due to expecting it to be seen from street point of view. It is up stairs and I am impressed with the menu. I ordered the simple American Breakfast. I opted for the Ham Steak and to my surprise I tasted the clove very mildly which was nice for a change usually it is too much for me. The eggs are jumbo and not small. The homestyle potattoes are real crispy. The whole grain toast was pleasant and thick. The butter was a fresh cream butter, not a margarine. I exceeded my expectations, I definitely will return. Sometimes off the beaten path locations are the ones worth trying. Keep up the good food and customer service. read more

The breakfast combo with french toast was just meh. The pancakes were too soggy. The server seemed overworked and wasn't super warm when taking the order at the register. However, the green juice I ordered was pretty good. In terms of the ambiance, I got seated outside so it wasn't the best because there was a bunch of people literally waiting next to my table. I prepared for it because this is a busy restaurant and no space for waiting. read more

Cute!!!! Stopped here for a nourishing meal before spending the day walking around the Pasadena convention center, and this was absolutely the right move. This little space was packed with a line to order and that told me everything I needed to know. I unknowingly ordered the largest Matcha beverage I have ever attempted to drink and it was so very perfect. I dream about this. The food was fresh and hearty, and I'm ashamed to say I didn't even eat it all.. This small café is a hidden gem and will be my new pre-convention center tradition! read more

Delicious brunch option that I wish I knew about earlier!! Old Town Caffe is both a low-key and popular, affordable option for brunch with super nice staff. The serving sizes were huge-great for sharing! The Caesar salad wrap and waffle slices were delicious! Those waffles were the best I've had in SoCal. I loved the London Fog too; they make the best version! Came on a Thursday morning at 9 am and was able to get a table for 2 without a wait. The rush starts picking up around 10 am. read more

We visited this restaurant with a party of four on 07/04/2026 at about 11am for the first time. There is plenty of parking, either on the street or in the free parking deck out back for this group of stores/restaurants. The food was excellent at this restaurant. The only reason for the one star deduction is for the disorganization. We arrived. Here you order at the counter and then find a seat. We ordered and there was just a couple of people in front of us. Once we ordered we sat at a table designed for four and then someone came around after just a couple of minutes and moved us to a different four top in a different part of the restaurant. If they were going to do that, why not just seat people from the beginning. The person who took our order was very kind, and it did not take too long for the food to arrive. I had the Cesar Salad Wrap, which was very well dressed and not dry, as some wraps are. It came with a side of bananas and strawberries. Our table also shared the House Waffle, and boy was it a treat. It had a delicious pistachio and nutella waffle. It was yummy. I also got to try a bite of my Husband's spicy sausage sandwich. It had a delicious spicy sauce, which really had a nice kick. Overall, a good experience and I would probably try it again. read more

I was looking for a coffee shop and came across this wonderful place on Yelp. Even though they were extremely busy and had so many customers, they still made time for me and gave me the opportunity to enjoy breakfast. The service was absolutely amazing! The staff were so friendly, respectful, and welcoming, always greeting everyone with beautiful smiles. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and excellent in quality. I had such a wonderful experience that I'm already planning to come back tomorrow with my daughter to celebrate her birthday! That says a lot about how much I loved this place. Thank you to the entire team for the amazing food, outstanding service, and warm hospitality. A special thank-you to Mr. Hector and Mr. Tony for making me feel so welcome and for going above and beyond to provide such a wonderful experience. You made my day special, and I can't wait to come back tomorrow! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food, excellent service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Keep up the amazing work! read more

Fantastic breakfast/brunch spot in Pasadena! The location might be easy to miss, but it's located upstairs on the 2nd floor of a plaza above hummus labs and Chams. It has the Urth Cafe vibe- similar food options but also American breakfast offerings like eggs, toast, and bacon/sausage. I had chicken quesadilla for breakfast and loved it. Also really love that they can make an Iced cortado. read more

One of my favorite brunch places in Pasadena! Small hole in the wall, located in a plaza on the second floor. It's not normally busy since it's tucked away but I hear it can get busy Sunday mornings after church. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, especially with my toddler. The interior is on the smaller side but there is also seating on the patio. Surprisingly, the food is amazing here. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order, and the portions are huge! Their coffee is always good, as well. I love taking friends and family whenever they visit our area! read more

Came here over the holidays for a gf's bday brunch. It was busy, but we were able to snag a table within 10 mins. since there seems to be a constant flow of people coming and going. I've eaten at the Indian place next door and never realized there was a brunch place right next door! Overall, a decent brunch place. Some dishes are hit-or-miss for me personally, but I would come back to try more. My group all ordered different coffees/lattes and I loved my latte art. I think we all enjoyed our beverage selections. I had the Vanilla Latte, and the others ordered the Horchata Latte and House Mocha. -Cinnamon Bun (warmed), was standard & good. Shareable size. -Breakfast Burrito, comes with a spicy mayo dip? The gf who ordered asked for salsa verde on the side. She seemed to enjoy it & was able to save the other half for later. -French Toast Combo, very large portion and the gf who ordered this seemed to enjoy it. -Huevos a la mexicana, I would not add chicken next time. It was okay. I didn't particularly like this dish. -Chilaquiles Verdes, I guess they asked if we wanted to add protein/meat to every dish (it does cost extra!). This one would've been fine without it, but we got Chorizo and it was good as well. They have a small restroom available through the back of the kitchen. Service & staff are all friendly. This is an order at the front & pay first place, but they will seat you at a table first so you can look over the menu and then ask you where you are sitting and bring out your food. Parking lot is available around back, but I'm not sure if you have to pay during brunch hours. Otherwise you can try you luck finding street parking (maybe on Green) & if it's Sunday you don't have to worry about the time limit =) read more

Laid back cafe, open seating, order at the counter. Service was excellent, and accommodating with slight modifications. The GF waffle combo was amazing!

A total gem with delicious food because of high quality ingredients. Breakfast burrito has potatoes and avo in it and the tortilla is grilled so it's crispy. Mouthwatering satisfaction!!! And the aioli dip is a great match. I had my doubts coming here because it looked like a regular boring diner but it's exceptional in the freshness. The breakfast sando is also on quality toast with both ham and bacon; the whole sandwich is well balanced with all the ingredients. Kids meal options are also great. Got a breakfast burrito for the kid and it comes with a lot of fruit which the kid loved. This is a special place! It's not super spacious and often packed, so come prepared! Counter order and then the staff brings plates to your table. There's outdoor swating. Restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of a plaza. So unassuming. Parking is off Mentor, up a ramp, if you're lucky. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem in Pasadena and has become a staple in my life. I love how intimate and welcoming it feels, but what really keeps me coming back is the food, which is consistently delicious every single time. The coffee, the tea, the drinks are amazingly handmade. What makes this place truly exceptional is the people. The staff is warm and genuinely kind. Add in music that's always on point, convenient parking, and it being a perfect spot to meet up with friends or family, and you've got a winning combination. My only small con is the bathroom situation that's not located in the most ideal spot. It's absolutely worth overlooking because the experience as a whole is that good. If you're ever in try it out. You won't regret it. read more

Came here with some coworkers on Saturday after we did an early run around the rose bowl. There is parking is in the back on the second floor and you also enter the restaurant on the second floor. Place is pretty tiny and pretty cramped inside, but there are some tables outside if you can't get a seat inside. You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. Menu is pretty extensive, but I opted for a smoothie and a pancake breakfast. It was pretty good and portion was big enough to fill me up. My coworkers got different items, and they all seemed to enjoy them. However, two of my coworkers said the chicken was pretty dry and not that good. Overall, it's a pretty cool spot to grab a drink or get some breakfast. Place is pretty loud inside and it is hard to have a conversation. It was also kind of expensive ($30 plus tip for that breakfast and smoothie). However, if I'm in the area again, I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some of the other stuff on the menu. read more

I went with a friend to Old Town caffe. The cafe is located in the second floor. There is a small adjacent parking lot. We came early in the morning and so we had no trouble finding parking spots. The cafe has a lot of indoor seating. It was clean and had cozy vibes. Their menu includes: breakfast burrito, egg croissants, ham & cheese Croissant, breakfast bagels, salmon scrambled, breakfast sandwiches, Chilaquiles, different types of waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, wraps, salads, vegan options, and more. They have a special menu for kids. In addition, they have fresh drinks, smoothies, lemonades, ice tea, latte, variety of coffee options ,and shakes. I got their chicken sausage burrito. The food was delicious and the portion was huge. My friend ordered a matcha latte and Huevos A La Mexicana. It had scrambled eggs, tomatoes, onion, with sides of potatoes and bread. We both enjoyed our breakfast. The service was very fast. The staff were nice and welcoming. It is a nice cafe to stop by and have a delicious breakfast or lunch.

It's really pretty when it arrived. At first I thought the French toast was small but actually the whole dish was filling. The bacon was nice and crispy. The sunnyside up eggs could have been more gooey. The blueberry and strawberries were a nice. I'd return here again. They have loads of dishes on the menu I want to try. read more

Fresh food for breakfast or lunch, what more can you say? Try the turkey sandwich, mango smoothie and chips.

I had breakfast this morning here and it was my first time visiting. I ordered a large coffee and a breakfast burrito. I ordered my burrito with chicken sausage. It was a beautiful morning so I sat outside overlooking Colorado Blvd. I ordered and paid for my food inside. The staff was friendly. As I sat at a table my coffee was brought outside. The coffee that they brew was good. I only had to wait about 10 minutes for my burrito and when my burrito was brought to the table it looked great. They cut it in half and it came with a aioli dipping sauce. The chicken sausage was absolutely delicious and juicy. The potatoes were cooked to perfection. The potatoes were nice and crispy on the sides so when I bit into the burrito they was a nice crunch with each bit. There was also guacamole, cheese, pico de gallo and black beans inside. The aioli sauce had a subtle heat element and really made the burrito pop with flavor. I was presently surprised on my first visit and asked myself why I did not visit them earlier. I look forward to many more weekend breakfasts here. read more

Update: I ate the rest of the burrito for dinner and there were lemon seeds in it! Yep, entire lemon seeds. I've never had a burrito with lemon seeds. Why? Can someone from the restaurant explain this? How can something that was so put together have lemon seeds. I mean, was that supposed to be adding texture cuz there are other ways to do that besides adding lemon seeds that could catch in someone's throat. For this reason, I have to lower the rating to three stars. It was really good, but I probably won't go back now. How disappointing. Original review: I tried this place after seeing the reviews on Yelp. I was looking for a really good breakfast burrito. Well, I found it! It is a small place, but there is seating outside and around the business. There is a nice view of the mountains on one side. Inside, is like a homey kind of eating place with a large tv. Don't be fooled though, the coffee and food is amazing! I ordered a latte with oat milk and it came with a cute foam bear and the chicken sausage burrito was so fresh and well cooked. I loved the fact that it looked so neat inside the burrito, not just thrown together and squished inside. It looked like someone actually cared about the food and how it would be presented and I could taste that. The same with the coffee. It was all so pretty. I don't think I've ever seen a breakfast burrito or latte that reflected that adjective. The best part was that everyone working there was so polite and nice. I watched them interact with all the diners and everyone received the same professional and polite treatment. It was a great atmosphere. I also checked out the food on other tables and everything looked so nice and delicious. I could smell some of the diners syrup and pancakes with I first walked up, freshly made. It is open seating so you don't have to worry about being placed where you don't want to be and if you want to live outside, no problem. When in the area, I would definitely go here again. Oh, and I could only finish a little less than half of the burrito. So, you get a good amount and the sauce...wow! I asked for some to take home and still filled it up with what was left from my meal. It's a good sauce that could go with a lot of different foods. You have to try this place out. It's not fancy, but the food definitely is! read more
