    French Toast Combo
    Yvonne B.

    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.

    Banana Matcha (iced with oat milk)
    India T.

    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.

    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.

    Lechera Waffle
    Cyl C.

    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!

    Breakfast sandwich presentation!

    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.

    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.

    Breakfast Burrito - so good
    Andrea L.

    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.

    Chicken quesadilla and iced cortado
    Jenny G.

    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.

    Huevos A La Mexicana & Matcha latte
    Nevin A.

    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!

    Beautiful morning to eat outside on the balcony.

    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.

    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 =)

    What a charming and quaint coffee shop this Republic Coffee is. With indoor and patio seating... so…read morelovely. Both inside and outside were super clean along with their restrooms. The minute I walked in, the aroma of the coffee and baked goods just organically welcomed me IN! Walked in this morning at 10:15AM, and was greeted by Stephanie. All the people behind the counter were genuinely super nice and friendly, and I am going to leave it at that. Some places can be pretentious and I don't like that. I didn't get that vibe here. Loved it. They have many different options of baked goods, hot and cold beverages, salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and more.They also serve wine. Very unique and interesting. Some coffee shops do serve wine. Love wine, but not in the mornings/afternoons:-)). So, she took my order and got everything right. I ordered an Avocado Toast, 2 Blueberry Muffins, and for my drink, got an Ube Latte. Everything tasted above and beyond fresh and delicious. My Ube Latte was made to PERFECTION! Don't know much about their parking situation, but I found street parking right in the front. They also do delivery, and 3rd party orders. My first time, but definitely not the last. Was so pleased with their hospitality. If I didn't happen to be in the area, I probably would have missed this beautiful gem. Glad I saw it and walked in. They have some nice decor inside but I decided to sit on their lovely patio. Thank you everyone, and keep up the good work!

    This review is solely about the coffee. I can't speak to the food…read more Before getting to the coffee, I have to say the ambience is just overwhelming and not relaxing--to me! I love minimalist spaces, and this is the exact opposite. This is probably just my own OCD personality that misses Steve Jobs and his black turtlenecks. The staff, however, is very nice! Okay, now the coffee, which is what my rating is based on. The latte was a small step up from Starbucks and had an odd taste that I couldn't quite place. My wife couldn't finish hers. The drip coffee was barely above lukewarm and just didn't taste good. Again, it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was wrong with it, but it didn't taste particularly fresh. I noticed the bag of beans on the counter was roasted on 6/30 and marked down on clearance. Anyway, it's probably a perfectly fine place if you're not obsessed with excellent black coffee or high-quality espresso drinks. The space is large, there's lots of outdoor seating, and the staff is nice. I just wish I'd known going in that the coffee wasn't very good, so I'm writing this review for the other people out there who are equally insufferable about their coffee.

Sure, you'll find the usual espresso drinks, but you'll also spot a few matcha options, creative fizzes, and refreshing tonics. As for pastries? The selection is stunning and freshly made. Peek into the glass case and you'll have a hard time choosing. Pro tip: don't pass up the devil's food cake donut. It's soft, airy, rich with high-quality chocolate... seriously yum. The staff are super friendly and it was fun catching them singing along to the shop playlist while carefully crafting drinks for each customer. The shop is cozy, so expect a line out front. It does move quickly though and is absolutely worth the short wait. There's no seating inside, but a few tables are set up along the arcade walkway for enjoying your treats outside. Parking is pretty easy with a large shared lot behind the arcade (plus some street parking if you're lucky). On my visit, I kept it simple with a vanilla latte, which totally hit the spot. I'll definitely be back to try the Gui Hua Latte and, of course, another devil's food cake donut!

The cafe is located in a long indoor area and love the feel of the hallway. There was a line when I visited, which at first gives the impression that the place is extremely popular and in high demand. But I think the line is partly a result of the limited number of people who can be inside at one time, along with the amount of time it takes to prepare the drinks. The menu is also fairly limited, so there aren't a ton of options to choose from. That said, I really enjoyed the Yin-Yang Coffee + Tea. It's a unique combination and probably the drink that stood out the most to me. I also got a chai latte and a matcha donut. The barista doesn't seem like they enjoy being there...so meh on customer service, too.

That being said, I do believe the quality is one of the best, so worth it if you happen to be in the area and don't mind a bit of a wait. You can see them making the baked goods in the store and the dough is a work of art. There seems to always be some kind of wait and the outside wait is a tad brutal, but there are a bunch of umbrellas you can borrow from the inside, which is a nice gesture from this place. Onto the goods - the chocolate bars are quite steep. Two of these plus a matcha latte and a single chocolate croissant was around $47, so keep that in mind before you stack too much in your cart. The matcha latte was passable in my opinion as well, since the matcha doesn't stand out. A lot of oat milk was used in mine, which diluted most of the matcha. I guess stick to what they are good at. The standout of course is the chocolate croissant. It's quite flaky. Where the surprise comes in is that there seems to be a custard layer inside, along with melted chocolate around the outer parts of the croissant. It's a unique experience and recommend trying while it's hot.

Tucked on a brick corner building in Pasadena, their simple signage is easy to miss (I've driven by so many times and never noticed!), but stepping inside, you find a spacious and inviting interior with ample table options and even a cozy fireplace in the back. Parking is street only, so you might have to walk a bit during peak times, but it's worth it for the atmosphere alone. There are a couple of outdoor tables too, if you want some fresh air. Jameson Brown is an artisan roaster sourcing beans from around the globe, barrels of beautiful coffee beans are on display and you can watch the baristas access them as they craft each drink to order. The menu is displayed on a giant blackboard, with special and seasonal offerings up front by the counter. New pastry selections include treats like calamansi cheesecake pandesal and sticky buns (with vegan options as well). The staff were incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming as I took my time deciding what to get. I went with my usual vanilla latte, plus their specialty Vienna latte. The espresso in my vanilla latte was bold and delicious, and while I'm not a big cinnamon fan, the Vienna latte (with honey and cinnamon) was perfect to bring home to my husband. Loved the open space, perfect for meetings, game nights, or just working from a coffee shop for the day. So glad I could finally check this one off my list. Highly recommend!
