    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!

    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!

    Breakfast burrito
    Jo G.

    Staff was very friendly . You order inside an if you choose to eat there they bring the food to you. Got the breakfast burrito with turkey bacon , it was good but nothing extraordinary . That's all I got , but they seemed to have a lot of yummy drinks.

    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. What a delicious find! It's a hole in the wall but so good. Will be back!

    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.

    Chicken quesadilla and iced cortado

    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.

    American breakfast with bacon
    Jessica G.

    Some friends and I met up for lunch at Old Town Caffe and had a great experience! We visited on a weekday and we were seated right away. They have a variety of menu options like acai bowls, wraps, and sandwiches and they serve breakfast all day! I went with the American breakfast with bacon instead of ham and it was good! The potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. There's a free parking lot on Mentor Ave, just head up the ramp. A solid spot for a casual breakfast or lunch.

    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!

    Chilaquiles verdes w/ Chorizo
    Julia H.

    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 =)

    New favorite find and the staff could not have been nicer. We were able to be seated outside before the rush. Chilaquiles were gone, my vegan scramble was delicious and the açaí bowl was also well liked. The best cafe de olla I have had in a minute. Perfectly balanced. My friend also liked his lemonade. The presentation of the dishes were also on point. Delicious and beautiful food to send us off back to the Bay Area. Get here early the line on Sunday brunch starts around 830 am.

    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.

    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.

    GF Waffle combo
    Agnes D.

    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

I went big with a large bowl loaded with blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, and mango, and I swear I got actual goosebumps watching them slice the strawberries fresh. That's how you know it's about to be good!!!!! Then I went full topping gremlin: shredded coconut, chopped almonds, goji berries, both granolas (because choosing is for the weak), almond butter, honey, and pumpkin seeds. Absolute perfection!!! Every bite was a moment!!!! Shoutout to Daisy, who absolutely understood the assignment and made my bowl with love!! There's no indoor seating, but they've got a few cute little tables outside... perfect for sitting there in silence, deeply in love with your açai!!! Ubatuba is hands down one of my favorite açai spots in the SGV because you control the base-to-topping ratio (as it should be), and their honey?? So good!!! Super floral, slightly magical, and honestly unforgettable. I'm obsessed!!!!

It's really easy to miss because the small unit shares space with a mobile shop located right upstairs. The only signage available to view from the street is a small little popup sign on the street. Other than that, you have to look directly inside. Anyways, we ordered their Churro Latte and Bee Kind Latte. We got both drinks iced with oat milk. The churro had a mild to medium flavor but the bee kind was very faint. On top of that, the espresso itself was on the lighter side. Both drinks were consumed as soon as we got to the car but tasted very watered down. After mixing the drinks thoroughly, you couldn't really distinguish the flavors completely. The person working offered a complimentary sea salt chocolate chip cookie that was delicious. Drinks were meh but the service was good. The interior is really cute with the various plants, merchandise, and seating areas great for photo ops. Another plus is that there's a private parking lot designated for customers but it's very small and easy to miss. Go out and support small businesses! We won't be back but hopefully you enjoy it more than we did.
