    Breakfast sandwich presentation!
    Martha E.

    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

    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.

    Waffle slices

    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
    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.

    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!

    Breakfast burrito and Chilaquiles

    The food is really what gave this place a five star rating. The service was about a 4 out of 5. The people were nice, just not the typical serving experience. You order at the front first and then pick your seat. What I can say is: fresh ingredients and FLAVOR. A lot of restaurants nowadays lack flavor, but here you definitely won't miss it.

    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 =)

    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

    Mocha
    Vicky T.

    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.

    Came back again and ordered some of my favorites plus a few new things. I always go for the…read moreNorwegian Benedict and it did not disappoint. The smoked salmon was perfect, the egg was super runny just how I like it, and the potatoes were the perfect portion--crispy and flavorful. The salad on the side was also really refreshing and balanced everything out well. We also tried the smoked salmon omelette, and I would say this one was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but I expected more flavor. It ended up being my least favorite dish out of everything we ordered. For dessert, we got the toffee banana crepe with ube ice cream and wow... this was definitely the highlight. So good and we finished the whole thing. I would honestly come back just for this. The outdoor seating was really nice today not too hot, not too cold and there's plenty of space inside as well. You order at the front, and the cashiers were super friendly and checked in on us during our meal. Overall, a really nice spot. I'll definitely be back!

    Ordered Doordash and my order arrived in less than an hour, which was pretty fast!…read more Menu had a good variety of burgers, benedicts, French toast, sandwiches, etc. Pricing was a little pricey but not too unreasonable. Expect to pay $20+ for most of the dishes Ordered the Avocado Benedict ($20.95) and it consisted of 2 egg muffins, topped with a poached egg, avocado, and ham, as well as a garden salad and country fried potatoes. One of the eggs arrived destroyed so it was already runny and the other one was a little overcooked so it wasn't perfectly poached as I was expecting but it wasn't too big of a deal. The ham was a little dry and salty but the avocado was very delicious and fresh. The egg muffin was quite cold and dry so it wasn't too enjoyable. The garden salad was pretty basic and just had some greens, corn, and tomatoes so nothing too special. The potatoes arrived cold, dry and slightly crunchy. It was extremely salty so it was hard to enjoy Overall, I thought the food was a little pricey and underwhelming unfortunately.

    "Prepared every morning" but NOT "cooked to order" as your staff repeatedly mentioned that they…read morecould not remove the ham as everything is "pre-assembled." Leaving no option for the customer to make changes... thus NOT cooked to order As I mentioned in my review, the coffee was NOT fulfilled as requested because your staff ran out of an ingredient for the coffee and didn't bother to tell us. I don't know what "candy" you're on about... Here's some constructive criticism - I recommend you take your time and read reviews carefully My review is not inaccurate because it is based off MY experience and to me it SEEMED that the food was not fresh if your staff can't assemble bread, cheese, ham, and an egg on the fly.

We grabbed a corner table inside though there is a lovely outdoor seating area. You order at the counter and wait for your food. Several teas offered along with quiches, crepes, croissants and salads. I got their salmon spinach quiche and hubby had the ham and cheese in a croissant. Not gonna lie was worried about a fishy flavor but my first bite was savory, buttery and delicious. Bravo! Hubby tore into his croissant and I never got a bite. It's ok. Loved my quiche. My salad had a tad too much acid (vinegar heavy) so I'd work that for the future. Truly a gem of a place.
