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

Our favorite breakfast spot- Opens at 7:30am, pleasant and efficient staff, fresh ingredients and excellent seasoning, normal portions. Prices are appropriate. Nice to be above the bustle of Colorado Blvd, while being able to enjoy the view. Convenient parking on the second level behind the cafe. read more

Delicious coffee?! A Cesar wrap with fruit on a side?? Made my day. Such friendly staff. Cute place!! Indoor and outdoor seating. Presentation of food was 10/10!! But I ate it too fast to snap a pic 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

Good food and servers are friendly but over worked. Stay away on weekend esp Sunday . Horrendous wait time. The kitchen does not have the capacity to handle the crowd. It's small kitchen, prob equipped to serve the 8 tables inside. But most definitely cannot handle the dozen or so more tables lined up outside. Took us only 15 min to get the table but over 50min to get our breakfast of scrambled eggs and waffle. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. Would definitely come back! read more

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

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! I can tell they used banana puree and it gave a yummy taste and texture. I was able to sub bacon instead of bacon. Hubby enjoyed the pancakes and Green juice. We love the 80s music too 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

This is located on the second floor and there's parking behind. The slope can be a but steep getting to the private lot. There's plenty of seating. They have you sit first then order at the desk when ready. You'll get a plastic number and they'll bring the food over to you. The staff are friendly and helpful. I got the French toast combo. 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

This place is a hidden gem. But maybe not so hidden since so many people were there? You order at the counter and then sit down and they serve you. We started with giant coffees in real mugs. That's always a plus! My husband loved his pb yogurt bowl. He said he would have added more pb. My gluten free breakfast sandwich was probably in my top 5 gf sandwiches of all time.

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

In all fairness, I went to this place because it advertised Organic coffee, I quickly found out that they are best known for their food items. I wanted to point that out first so there's a fair assessment of my experience. I ordered the Tiramisu latte, and, well, it didn't appeal to me at all. It was missing the Tiramisu, perhaps, a mere oversight, but, maybe not. The coffee itself was a bit overbearing, and left an unpleasant aftertaste. I don't expect all coffee experiences here to be the same. The gentleman that took my order was nice, he also made the recommendation, but did not make my beverage. It's a really decent small, corner nestled cafe, and you know what, I will return. I was not turned off by my drink, as I usually would be. Organic coffee, I'll taste it with my next order. I will request exactly what I need in order to tell, and, yes, I CAN tell. I'm true to good roasts. Don't be deterred, simply try them for yourself. I do want to add that they were 1 of the 2 spots recommended to me that day. Someone also came up to me while I was sitting, waiting and started a pleasant conversation while I was there. He bragged wholeheartedly about how good the breakfast was, referring to it as "fire-" so there you go, just a little side note. I'd say stop by whenever you're in the area. (Sorry, no pics of the drink I ordered. I didn't have time to take any that day, I had to grab and go. The ones I did take, I did so while waiting. The menu shows what it should have looked like.) See you again soon Old Town! read more

Breakfast in Pasadena, Los Angeles, California... We had some time before going to the LA County Fair, so we decided to get something to eat first. Old Town Caffe is a popular place! Almost every table was taken... and people were standing in line to order at the counter! Grab that table and listen for your number to be called! We found free street parking somehow. Then, we figured out that this place is upstairs! This is truly a hidden gem! Haha! I got a breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, ham, country potatoes, and butter! Yum! The latte art was so pretty that I needed a photo of it! Thanks for breakfast, Tim C.! read more

Wholesome family business, the food taste delicious. So many great options, and their london fog is amazing.

Located upstairs if you're coming from the main street but there is parking on the same level behind it. It is a rainy day so the outside seatings were not available, the inside is small but still has a good amount of seating. The employees are very nice and you order at the register and you get a number for your order. I got the French Toast Combo with Scrambled Egg and Turkey Bacon with a Small Tiramisu Latte. My sister got the Breakfast Burrito with Turkey Ham and a Large Iced Coconut Latte. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. Our total was $41.45. Overall we had a great experience! read more
