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

Great little diner to have breakfast. A small mom and pops shop, with old-school seating, and tables. Nothing fancy, just simple eating, affordable prices, and friendly staff. We ordered Andy's Breakfast with Pancakes and French Toast. The food was good, we were checked on constantly and refilled with freshly brewed coffee. We stopped by on a Saturday morning and it was not busy. Street parking is available. read more

We got the steak and eggs which came with sour dough toast and hash browns. The steak was whatever, but I really liked how they toasted the hash browns and bread. Traditional diner vibes which is hard to find today. Their decor is filled with old newspapers involving the restaurant which is cool. Food came out a little slow. There's parking in the back and on the street. read more

Old school vibe. A little cramped when waiting in line to be seated or to pay. Big fluffy pancakes. Nicely browned scrambled eggs. Crispy bacon. ROCK inside my side order of hash browns. Yes you read that right. Food was decent but dude this rock really messed things up. read more

Loved it. I live on the Westside, but found myself in the area and happened to be hungry. Looked up a diner in the vicinity, and this popped up. The place was packed. And the sign in the window made me promise to return. Go there! read more

Increíble food and ambiance. Best Huevos Rancheros I've ever had. We will definitely come back.

I love Andy's Coffee Shop! I grew up going with my grandma to the local Thrifty's Coffee Shop, and in the many years that followed, it seems there are fewer and fewer old-fashioned coffee shops left. You know what I mean: the local place with low turnover where the servers keep the coffee coming and the food is always simple yet delicious, especially the breakfast. Fear not! Andy's is keeping the dream alive. Andy's has a great menu with all of the usual American breakfast favorites. Of course, it's all delicious. If you want a traditional American breakfast (steak and eggs, omelets, pancakes, etc.) you won't be disappointed. If you want something a little different, however, I suggest the Mexican breakfast menu. Again, the usual favorites are there. I usually have the chilaquiles. Andy's has two varieties, red and green, and both are amazing. I highly recommend going for the added shredded beef. It's delicious marinated shredded beef, juicy and flavorful. Today, I dared to try something new. I ordered the Nopal Omelet. That's a cactus omelet for those of you who don't speak Spanish. If you've never tried nopales, I suggest you give it a shot. The texture is similar to Ortega chiles, and the flavor is mild. My omelet came with a side of beans and rice and my choice of toast. My wife and brother-in-law also enjoyed their meals. I was too busy loving my food to see what they ordered. Our server (I'm sorry, I didn't catch his name) was friendly, professional, and capable. My coffee stayed warm and full, and believe me, I was putting it away. Andy's is a family run business at a time where smaller family businesses have all but vanished. I hope you'll give them a chance. You'll love the food and service. read more

You know this is a great little greasy spoon type diner in town that's perfect for a quick breakfast. Easy to park. Food is exactly what you'd expect for breakfast. Your coffee gets refilled constantly. No frills. Nothing fancy. read more

Thank you and farewell! After 30 years of good food, its time to find another diner. With prices being the way they are in Pasadena, its time to locate another place to call home. Thank you, Andy's! read more

Food was good, however my pancakes were a little burned. The lady working there wasn't the most welcoming either. Overall my experience was OK. read more

This little coffee shop is a like a set from a classic movie, super cute. It can get really packed on weekends but that won't stop the servers in giving you a top notch service at all times. Now the food is another level! I've had their classic breakfast, bacon brekkie burrito and bacon omelett with veggies... this one last is a must! The refried beans I can't stop thinking about; taste homemade for sure. You definitely can't go wrong with anything on their menu, really. Pancakes are really good as well, almost cake like consistency. Great coffee. Parking on the back or street parking. Clean restroom. read more

I really enjoyed my chilaquiles. Got a small both and eat and worked early in a Sunday morning. Only breakfast and lunch.

Hello travelers if you're ever out in the city of Pasadena between Lake Ave & Hill Ave, may I suggest this little whole in the wall place. Great tasting food and great service but I recommend you get there early because they only stay open till 2 pm. Bon Appetite read more

Ham and cheese omelette to go. It was great. Hash browns were great. A++ I ordered thru grub hub. No extra charge read more

Usuallly the service here is good - the food even better. Was seated, served coffee, waited for our waitress....tick, tick. Where is she? 15 minutes later, she's eating breakfast while we waited for her to take our order. Yes, there was only one server. Paid for the coffee and went some where else. read more

Where do I start? It took over half an hour to get the orange juice and water we asked for and even more time to get our very simple and overpriced breakfast orders. We won't go back. Go to The Reyn Coffee shop instead. It's much better and less expensive. read more

Came here for breakfast while in town on vacation. I got the Napoles omelette with a side of rice and beans. DELICIOUS. It's hard to find a solid diner style coffee shop selling breakfast all day. This is it. It was a big meal kept me full into late afternoon. Great value great food great atmosphere. 10/10 would visit again while in the area read more

Food was great. Delicious pancake and steak picado. I was pleasantly surprised. Worth the premium price tag. They were super crowded so the service suffered. Took forever to get more coffee, no real system or line to get a table, stressed out staff were a little rude. Ambiance: mix between an old diner and a dive bar. read more

Great Breakfast!!! Been here several times and it never disappoints. Great selection of dishes.

I moved to Pasadena (from the LAX area) in the fall of 2017, and have been looking for a "breakfast joint" - with no luck, until today. I brought my car to Pep Boys for new tires, and while waiting, looked for nearby restaurants, and saw "Andy's." "Ok," I said, and did a 3-minute walk to this delightful throwback to another time ... some tables around a u-shaped counter. I made for the counter, a cup of coffee was immediately offered, and my order was taken by a delight young lady with a cheery smile and a kindly way. I was busy with my phone, and my kindle, so a wee bit of time was perfect, and then, and then, and then, it arrived ... everything perfectly done, and hot, with endless coffee, of course. Eggs over easy, done just right ... has browns with the right amount of crisp, as well as the corned beef hash. When I said to the young lady, "Don't tell my wife!" she replied, with an index finger to her mouth, "Secrecy is our motto!" Will I be back? Absolutely. To explore more of the menu, but if the rest of the food is as well prepared as this course was, it'll all be good. Open from 7 AM - 2 PM. Perfect hours for a restaurant dedicated to this kind of great cooking. read more

Andy's Coffee Shop - My fav breakfast - hash browns, corned beef hash, eggs over easy, with and English Muffin. - Diners Near Me - Pasadena, California

Friday morning, breakfast: 12/16/22 // I am a big fan of diners and vintage eateries so discovering Andy's coffee shop was a true pleasure. I am from Burbank and made my way to Pasadena on yoccasion and of needing to meet up in the city for breakfast m. It was a big treat! I followed the recommendations on Yelp and went in someone blind, and was absolutely thrilled. The restaurant was quaint and definitely had a true vintage look and feel. The wait staff was very friendly and pleasant and absolutely a joy to relate with. I really appreciated all of the care and attentive service. We opted to sit at the counter because they only had large four tops and we were just too so we sat at the counter and it was perfect. The menu has a great variety and lots of options for anyone looking for breakfast or lunch. I opted for the Andy's breakfast, which was three pancakes with two eggs and meat. I got the crispy bacon, which was perfect they cooked. The coffee was delicious and everything was perfect. My partner had a number one special with hashbrowns, eggs and toast, and he opted for the sausage. He finished it much more quickly than I did and it was all great coffee was refilled. Water was refilled could not have been a better experience! The only suggestion I have for the owners is to swap out the bright light bulbs in the ceiling fans in the restaurant. The bright white color bulbs really throws off the vintage look and feel. They should swap them out for a warmer, less stark white bulb - even if it is an LED light bulb, they have the different spectrum which delivers a warmer light. The stark, bright light makes it feel and look like an institution or clinical setting. Other than that, the decor, even the Christmas tree was cute and everything was as it should be for a diner that opened in 1960! Love that! Go to Andy's coffee shop if you're in the area, I highly recommend it. Bon appétit! Five stars! read more

Kudos to owner Yesenia Ramirez and the entire Andy's staff for taking care of 6 members of the Victorville Fire Department who are here in Pasadena working on the Altadena/Pasadena fire. I wanted to contribute to cost of their breakfast but Gloria said, "we're taking care of it." I come to Andy's each weekend for breakfast. The food and service is just great! I hope others will come try out Andy's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Pancakes were thick and pretty dense, and even with butter on them, they were just kind of...meh. Didn't soak anything up, but also soaked EVERYTHING up--I'm not a syrup fiend like that, but I just couldn't get enough syrup on them to give them any flavor or moistness. Also ordered a Denver omelette with undercooked veggies put on top of the omelette instead of inside. Overall, a pretty meh meal...but I loved the small diner ambiance, and even if it was meh, it still tasted good (pretty standard diner fare), and I'd come back and just order something else. read more

Classic Route 66 diner. Booths, single dining bar table, grill cook. Breakfast has lots of choices. Local news on the TV. Quiet. Food was exactly what we expected and wanted. Nothing fancy. Hot. Large portions. Server checked frequently if we needed coffee or more. read more

Great little coffee shop. Not a fancy environment, but consistent good, fresh food. Today we enjoyed a California omelette and huevos ranchero. Both were excellent! I chose the O'Brien potatoes to go with my omelette. They were seasoned with a Mexican seasoning that made them extra good! Hubby said the huevos ranchero hit the spot! Guess so because he ate them before I could take a picture. Service is impeccable, coffee refills even before you ask. They check vaccination cards before you can be seated and are constantly cleaning to meet/exceed Covid requirements. read more

Great cafe !! We loved their food , and the service was above and beyond! Order sus take a bit long to come out , but they were very busy with to go orders. To us that was a food sign of the food. (I finished my food before I remembered to take pictures) I am very picky when it comes to chilaquiles (especially diners) because the sauce usually is canned . NOT HERE ! The salsa was obviously made here and very authentic flavor . Like home made by a Mexican mom good ! My picky son got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and sausage (special request that was made and it was great as a mom of a picky eater ) and it was so good my son couldn't stop eating !! One complaint I did have was the coffee, it does taste like dirty water. I was not pleased but needed coffee. But not taking off stars because the food was amazingly delicious. Can't wait to try their lunch menu ! read more

The food was amazing, the service was fast and the price was right. I'd definitely go again. Thanks

Ewww this girl in here today on Valentines Day is driving away business from the owner, her mother. You need to learn respect for your customers, especially your long-term ones who have supported your business throughout this COVID Pandemic and for years before that! It is clear that this girl Does NOT want to be there and she is going out of her way to make her mom lose business. She picks up the phone puts ppl on hold and NEVER comes back. Busy signal for the next hour let's you know she put the phone off the hook, so she won't be bothered. She is rude to customers, snapping at people and we don't deserve this. She comes across as someone spoiled adult child being made to work in mama's restaurant business and doing everything she can to drive away customers and get back at her mom/family member. And customers are the ones who are getting the brunt of the family baggage, really not cool. The girl blames the cooks who have been working there forever and we know it is NOT their fault bc we have been coming here for years. But this girl definitely has ruined our enthusiasm for this otherwise cool place. This girl projects her unfinished family baggage on to paying customers and this will be to the detriment of this business. Then after 45 minutes of having physically come to the restaurant to place the order this girl snaps at us telling us it's not ready and she still doesn't know when it will be ready. So we canceled the order. More money lost for this business. We like it when the mother is working. But this girl has a history and if they don't get her out of there she is going to drive business away more than COVID. This girl does NOT want to be there and if you continue to put her there she will keep costing you lost money and customers and possibly loss of your entire business in this pandemic. Called on 15. Feb 2021 at 11:30 AM to speak with the owner. I suspect this same rude girl (or her mother) answered the phone and proceeds to argue with me, trying to guilt trip me for making this yelp review. She also throws in a dollop of shade by saying "that's your opinion" after I have given her a checklist of the incidents that transpired yesterday. Facts aren't opinions, lady. You really need to get your customer service skills in order, along with your choice of wording. I really don't want to deal with people's snotty adult child syndrome family members and their denying/enabling parents so I am just not coming back to your restaurant. Problem solved. Don't try to guilt trip customers for sharing their experiences here on Yelp. It's your own fault you didn't make sure to put competent customer service staff in your restaurant. It;s your fault you argue with your PAYING customers during COVID and invalidate their experiences in your business. You're operating at less than 15% of your usual business, so you definitely need an attitude adjustment, otherwise don't blame it all on just COVID if your business closes down. You also play your part. YOU need us more than we need you! We can get the same quality food, if not better at a zillion other places here, but you can't get back the $$$ you lost from your lack of proper customer service. So because of all that we just won't be back and we are going to let people know about our experiences too. You lost 2 loyal, several years' long-term customers. You have no one else to blame but yourself. Goodbye! read more

My first time there and the service was good and I had a few coffee refills with my Denver omelet. The omlette was tasty although it seemed way too oily. The ambience was okay but I was expecting more, especially since they are located on Historic Route 66. They did get my order correct but I probably won't be back. read more

Andy's has solid food and a solid reputation for friendly and fast service. Whereas I prefer to sit at one of their tables, there are about ten seats at their counter. The staff keeps up a nice chatter with customers and are quick to pour coffee and are quite attentive. I have only been for breakfast and have had their chorizo breakfast burrito and corned beef hash and eggs breakfast. They allow substitutions so I sub out the hash browns for refried beans and the bread option to flour tortillas. In Heaven, I was! read more

Good coffee shop with quality food, good service and generous portions. Mexican food is especially good. My father in law always gets the burrito, while I rely on my standard machaca and eggs. Tortillas taste like they are home made and refried beans are tasty. Not open on Tuesdays, otherwise we would frequent this restaurant more often. read more
