Very cute, old fashioned breakfast diner. This is the perfect spot to stop by for either breakfast or lunch when you're not in a rush. I haven't had a dish here that wasn't delicious. Every dish is made with care. I personally am I huge fan of their omelette dishes here. The set up is; you choose where you'd like to sit and a server will be with you momentarily. Sometimes it takes a second but the servers are always super friendly and you see the working hard, multitasking. One of my favorite small breakfast spots in Pasadena read more

Only order the Mexican-themed dishes. Didn't want anything spicy first thing in the morning, so ordered what I thought would be a solid, simple, delicious option for any well-regarded diner: biscuits and gravy. Friend, now I know what food is like in prison. The gravy was a bland, featureless runny liquid (no, even runnier than you're thinking), devoid of any seasoning whatsoever. I legitimately believe they dug a pan that used to have gravy in it out of the dirty dishes, swished some water around in it and poured it on my plate. The "biscuits" were hardly any better, lacking any hint of butter or flake, instead seeming like someone stirred up some Bisquick and threw it on the flattop grill. This meal was an insult and a punishment, and as part of a $70 check it felt like I was being personally invited to a fistfight by the dumpster. Alas, I had somewhere else to be. And somewhere else, anywhere else, is what I'll choose next time when breakfast is due. For reference, biscuits and gravy should include round, buttery, flaky biscuits using dough that was rolled out, cut, and baked. Gravy in this context is a richer, creamier milk gravy with substance, at minimum seasoned with fresh cracked pepper and perhaps some paprika. Offering a sausage gravy wouldn't hurt either. Or don't offer biscuits and gravy at all if you don't know what the f**k you're doing. read more

Love the old school Route 66 vibes. Pasadena staple. However I think it's over priced for what it is. I got a short stack of pancakes with weak coffee and paid $25 with tip. The pancakes were just ok, I prefer Denny's pancakes to be honest. read more

This was on the way back from a coffee shop we like to frequent since I was hungry. I think there's parking in available in a lot but we walked here. The interior is very old school diner which I liked. Unassuming and not pretentious. They gave typical diner fare but also some Latin and Mexican specialties like chilaquiles. I ended up ordering an omelette where I could pick 4 toppings and went with bacon sausage mushrooms and peppers. It came with a side of hash browns and toast but I chose English muffin which was nicely buttered. The omelette was pretty good and the hash browns were very crispy so that was nice. I think it's a little bit overpriced for what they offer, my omelette was about $20. It was loaded and fresh so I would prob still come again but feels a little too expensive for standard diner fare. Service was pretty good and attentive. read more

Had the Huevos Mexicana which was very good but had a little too much sauce, making everything very wet. Wife had Eggs, sausage & hash browns. Location is small and was busy on a Sunday morning, $43 + tip for 2 makes it a bit pricey. Service was ok, nothing special, had to ask for coffee refill. Haven't decided if we will make a return visit. read more

I stopped by this past Saturday for breakfast. Its an unassuming place with tinted windows and one way in and one way out. The diner had a steady flow of patrons when I arrived and as I ate. There's optional seating at the bar near the register or booths and tables. Menu offerings are typical diner options like eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes but theres also a Mexican breakfast menu as well. I had the Andy's Breakfast Super Burrito. The burrito is cut in half and they don't skimp out on ingredients. I was unable to finish it as it also came with a side of beans. I enjoyed my meal. I'd love to try out other breakfast staples especially the Mex breakfast menu. read more

I go to Andy's often, but it could be better: The food is good, standard diner fare with some notable extras: vegetarian biscuits and gravy for one. Coffee keeps flowing . Some of the seating is BUSTED: that's never been "cute" : fix your booths. Very pricey. read more

Driving by you may miss it! Walking by and you may not notice it. Once inside you will be taken back to the old feel of a mom and pop type of local diner. Photos of celebrities, Movies, and shows this place has been in adorn the walls. So I ordered the Bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. Something about their hash browns they were just so fluffy and tasty. The bacon was crispy,& non greasy (perfect). Even the toast was light and really good. It's not like was particularly hungry, but the breakfast was GREAT! They brought out a salsa that was just so fabulous it would've been perfect with Chips. It was great with eggs too, I am more surprised and pleased that it is That Good! It's not a really big place. So it's self seating. The service is fast, and friendly. It's welcoming . If you get the chance to come into Pasadena and want a really good diner experience Andy's is definitely the Spot read more

No frills neighborhood diner with all the breakfast favorites. The service isn't the best as I typically have to wave a server over to get their attention, but it doesn't stop me from coming when I want a tasty omelette. The chilaquiles are a bit too watery, but omelettes here are good, especially the Mexican omelettes with rice and beans. read more

We used to go a lot before Covid and it was a diner ambiance, now it has so many more tables in a small area. The wait staff has a lot of tables as well as take out orders to fill, because of this there is a longer wait time to get orders out! What used to take 15 mins, now takes 30-40 minutes. We ordered from the Mexican Food section because there are Mexicans cooking and we know they will taste like home! The Huevos Rancheros were perfect as were the rice and beans! I love the Machaca however this time I was disappointed not because of the taste but for the lack of beef !!! It usually has a good amount of beef , but this time I got a few pieces and a lot of vegetables!!!! It was good but I expected 25% meat not 2% for the 15 dollars I paid for this meal. It's called Machaca not Vegetable and egg! The flour tortillas were really good and went well with the meal. Hopefully next time I will get Machaca! Overall this is only the first time it happened , I know you will enjoy Andy's Coffee Shop! read more

This American diner absolutely delivers on every level. The food was outstanding; classic comfort dishes done right, with great flavor and generous portions. The ambiance had that perfect nostalgic diner vibe, clean and welcoming without losing its charm. What really stood out was the service, friendly, attentive, and on point the entire time, which made the experience even better. Fun fact: this spot has some Hollywood history too! A scene from Fast & Furious was filmed here, along with the music video for "Cups" from Pitch Perfect. Definitely adds a cool factor while you're enjoying your meal. If you're looking for great food, solid service, and a little pop culture flair, this place is a must-visit read more

A decent Mexican themed diner in Pasadena. I would say that Russell's is my favorite diner in Pasadena followed by Shakers but Andy's is a nice option if you are in the area. They have a much smaller menu compared to some of the other competitors and inside is quite small as well. They don't have outdoor seating so everything will be indoors and if it's crowded be prepared to wait. We had to wait about 10 minutes for our table for two to be ready for our Saturday brunch. They don't have a dedicated parking lot however street parking is fairly easy to find in this part of town. Pricing is fair and our server was pretty nice although took quite some time for the drink refills and to check in on us. As mentioned this is more of a Mexican themed diner. All diners in Los Angeles are one of four to me. The traditional retro LA diner, the country diner, the Asian diner, and the Mexican diner. This being Mexican due to the amount of Mexican dishes on the menu, clientele, and staff. As someone from San Diego I don't mean this is a negative thing, actually something that I really like and prefer even though I myself am not Hispanic. For my order I chose the Huevos à la Mexicana and did enjoy it although I felt that there was too much liquid, everything was a bit too wet, but still had some nice flavors. Overall, I would recommend if you are in the area and I would definitely give it another try again in the future. read more

Andy's was exactly what you might expect it to be. Solid, classic diner food with friendly service. Very tasty house-made salsa.

I got their sausage omelet & hashbrown to go box from here and it was not the greatest. I ate about 1/3 of it before taking it home and giving it to my brother, who "remade" everything on a frying pan to his taste later on. And even then he said just by looking at it that it was going to be mid. Hashbrowns were slightly burnt and the omelet was saltier than what I would have liked. Also the sausage had random hard bits in it, definitely a negative texture ASMR. read more

Sorry Andy if there really is anyone named Andy here. Food isn't an issue and is tasty. Service is what you would expect from a coffee shop. Ambiance is dated and kinda dirty but no big deal. My issues are with prices??? What happened Andy? The prices are ridiculous yes ridiculous to say the least. I can't imagine coming here again for this type of quality food and paying those prices. I would not and could not recommend because of price gouging going on here. Sorry Andy.......... read more

Decided to try a new breakfast spot and I'm so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious. I customized my meal, and thanks to my server, everything came out exactly the way I wanted -- she really made it happen.

Andy's Coffee Shop - Hot Cocoa - Diners Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been coming here for years and usually love this place, but my last visit left me really disappointed. I went in yesterday by myself and ordered the Andy's Breakfast. When I checked my receipt later, I realized I paid $25 for what should have been about $16 -- even with my $3 tip included. It felt like I was overcharged, and it makes me wonder if prices are being padded or if someone is pocketing the difference. I didn't notice until after I signed, so that's on me, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope this was just an honest mistake, but it makes me hesitant to come back if I can't trust the bill. read more

The food is always delicious here at Andy's coffee shop. It's a small space but if you get there early enough, you can beat the crowd. They're very friendly and efficient and what keeps bringing me back as the food I've even brought my parents and my sister to this place and they rave about it. highly recommend will definitely come back. read more

Favorite breakfast spot in Pasadena!!! All the food is amazing with great portions as you can see in my picture. The pancakes are sooo fluffy and perfect with the coffee.

We wanted a place to eat breakfast on Sunday morning before attending a comic-con at the Pasadena Convention Center. My friend suggested Andy's because of its proximity to the venue. We parked on the street around the corner for free. I had read the previous reviews and learned that the food was traditional American breakfast fare, but that the menu also included a page for Mexican dishes. I ordered the corned beef hash plate with sourdough toast and coffee. It was a good-sized plate and the food was excellent. My friend ordered the chilaquiles with shredded beef. He too enjoyed his food. Service was good and attentive. Someone came by frequently with the pot of coffee. You pay at the register. I used my Apple wallet I will qualify information from a previous review: to get to the restroom, you walk through the kitchen. You walk to the back of the store, but you don't walk through the areas where they cook the food. There's only one unisex restroom, mysteriously equipped with four different toilet plungers. No, you cannot enter or exit through the back. You must enter through the front on Colorado Blvd. read more

We visited this place on a Sunday before 9 a.m., so we walked right in without a wait. I love the old school diner vibe, and this place was exactly what I was looking for.

Even though our food took a little while to come out, everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back! read more

Although I've lived near Andy's practically my whole life, I only recently read about it somewhere (Eater?). I've surely driven past it thousands of times but finally tried it a few times and was charmed by its old-school coffee shop vibe and tasty food. Located on old Route 66 (Colorado Blvd) near Pasadena City College (PCC), Andy's has booth, table and counter seating. Open only for breakfast and lunch, it has a menu full of breakfast classics plus some Mexican dishes. The times I've visited there is a friendly young woman who seems to be the head server, greeter and cashier. She speaks English and Spanish. There was another male server who spoke less English. The walls are adorned with old photos, and they still have a display of those classic little boxes of cereals. I've ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs (with hash browns and toast), machaca (with rice, beans and tortillas) and huevos a la Mexicana (a layered dish with crispy tortillas, eggs, rice, beans, onions, tomatoes, serrano chiles, cheese and avocado). Every dish was pretty great; I'd order them all again, but there are lots of others dishes I'd like to try. Note you must walk through the kitchen to access the restroom. I did notice cans of corned beef hash while passing through. Good choice for an unassuming, non-bougie breakfast or lunch. read more

I really liked this cool little place until yesterday when I stopped by for breakfast and ordered the eggs, biscuits and gravy. The eggs were ok but the biscuits were not biscuits ( no idea what they were) and the gravy was not gravy, just soupy corn starch and water . I did overcome my revulsion enough to taste a small amount but couldn't bring myself to swallow, it was that bad when I commented on this at checkout as I was reluctantly paying , the lady mumbled something unintelligible in response as she was making change. hey Andy, get a cook! read more

A hidden gem located in Pasadena . I guess some famous people rolled through here. It's been featured on Fast n Furious and a few others. ordered grits , bacon turkey sausage & eggs (don't judge ). I love that stuff! My crew ordered hues rancheros, omelet , a kids breakfast and we shared a stack of pancakes. It was busy for a small place, and always end up at a bakery so we wanted to try something different. Juice is not freshly squeezed but that's ok food makes up for it. I was ok with water. read more

I was waiting around since my car was getting washed a couple businesses down so we decided to stop by this place to get some breakfast. The place was very hole in the way but oh my was it busy! There were so many customers and many seemed like regulars. We ordered the Huevos a la Mexicana with a side of hash browns to split between 2 people and it was plenty of food! I really liked the dish (despite it looking a bit soupy lol). The flavors are there even so the presentation may be lacking. The dish does have some heat so if you want to make it less intense, I would say no jalapeños. It seemed like a popular dish since I saw 2 other tables order it. read more
