    Menu - what they have to offer.

    Clutch & Coffee really came through for a solid brunch in Old Town Torrance. The cafe‑style, homemade cooking is absolutely something to talk about, you can genuinely taste that everything is made from scratch. It's comforting, flavorful, and feels like a meal made with intention rather than rushed café fare. Service was warm and attentive, and the overall vibe is super laid‑back, the kind of neighborhood café where you can relax, enjoy your coffee & food, and take in the mellow Old Town atmosphere. One thing to note: this place gets busy, especially on Saturdays and Sundays during brunch hours. Plan ahead or expect a bit of a wait, but honestly, the food and experience make it worth it.

    ELDON Classic
    Vianca Maree Q.

    This cafe is located in the Old Town Torrance area. Along the street of Torrance Bakery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibes were really nice, we came in around 9am on a Saturday, fairly busy when we got there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got seated in the booth. We ordered Eldon Classic Benedict and Steak & Eggs. Food was decent. Staff are really nice and friendly. Overall, would be a good spot if you're looking for something local.

    Located off El Prado Ave in Old Torrance. Parking is a bit of challenge over here since parking gets filled up with all the businesses in the area they do have a parking garage walking to your destinations are not too bad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was bigger than I imagined I was thinking this was just a coffee place like most but this is more like a cafe with a good amount of seating and table service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is more like a cafe/restaurant vs a coffee shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the pictures and stuff food looks pretty good here it was pretty packed in here as well so it must be yummy. I just came to get a matcha to go. I got the strawberry matcha it was good. The staff were nice and helpful as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall a nice spot they do close at 2pm so this is more of a breakfast/brunch place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    If you're into off-roading and comfort food...check out Clutch and Coffee in Old Torrance. Let's just say I wasn't expecting there to be a theme because my partner chose this place for brunch, but they are serving up some gooooood American breakfast classics. Standouts include their Chicken and Waffle, which is served with candied bacon wrapped around a bunch of thyme (not exaggerating here). The lemon herb butter is the best part. I stole some off my partner's plate for my biscuit, which was warm and moist. If you're going on a weekend, it does get busy. Make sure to check in with the host if you're using Yelp Wait List, or you'll end up waiting longer than expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also very loud and dark in there, so if you'd like a more chill ambiance, get seated on their patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    STRAWBERRY Pancakes

    We went back again last week and everything was just as good as it was on our prior visits. Coffee is great too, and it's one of the reasons I keep coming back - If a place has good coffee, I'm a happy woman.

    BLUEBERRY Pancakes
    Tosha L.

    Had another amazing Clutch & Coffee breakfast over the weekend. It truly was DELICIOUS. Of course I'll always get the blueberry pancakes. They are simply divine. This time, I also tried the loaded breakfast potatoes. Potatoes, sausage, peppers...perfect! Full of flavor! This diner style restaurant gets very busy on weekends and you definitely need to get everything from your server while you can...but they are pleasant and helpful. No issues there. I also tried an ice coffee since it was a lovely warm day out. Server recommended the "White Lotus" latte , it was sooooo good 10/10! Treat yourself to this place.

    Decor is akin to custom car shop
    Devon B.

    The service was spectacular I can in the middle of the day while have my car services around the corner. I ordered a late and I added cold foam. The barista was nice she customized my foam to make it taste like maple. Coffee was tasty and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the decor of the location was cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When looking up a local coffee shop quickly I mistook this company to be klatch coffee. However clutch is good and I would go back.

    Ube Matcha

    Every time we come here we are blown away with how amazing it is. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, offering the best suggestions for food and coffee! Just had the best iced ube matcha Can't wait to come back and get another one!

    CHICKEN & WAFFLE  Grilled Tri Tip Steak
    Ashley R.

    Clutch and Coffee has amazing food. We always get a few plates to share. The grilled steak and the fried chicken and waffles are always a must order! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant gets really busy and loud inside but outside is really clam and beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I def recommend adding this to your must try!

    Gibraltar
    Loveliz M.

    I was on the hunt for a great breakfast spot and stumbled upon this place as a highly recommended spot on Yelp. I was easily convinced with the reviews so I decided an early morning breakfast and to my surprise I was able to walk right in and not have to wait to be seated. It took a moment before being assisted by Catherine. Catherine took our orders which consisted of the following; two hot coffee drinks; the White Lotus and Strawberry Matcha Latte and for our meals we decided to go with the country fried portobello & eggs and the Eldon classic. The drinks were shortly served. I noticed that that strawberry matcha was "iced" and that's when the server said something along the lines of the sugar......... and just walked away. I set the drink to the side and waited for the server to come back and asked to have a different drink. So I asked for the Gibraltar. The server did not appear pleased with me not wanting the ice drink I did not ask for so she took the drink from the table. Few minutes later our food was served, but we had no utensils to eat with so I waived down another woman walking by then utensils were brought to our table. As for the food, the Eldon classic great, however the country fried portobello was very underwhelming. The portobello almost felt more sour than the usual earthy and savory flavor. When we finished up with breakfast, we placed the plates on the side of table. The check was then brought over without even asking us if we needed or wanted anything else. Service overall was a 2 of 5 stars as the server did not provide a pleasant experience as she just didn't seem to be having an enjoyable morning. Food was 3 stars as I really enjoyed the Eldon classic and the two hot drinks we had were also pleasant. I would not have a cold drink made with an option of hot or cold if it doesn't go well hot, though. In conclusion, I would say if you've never tried this place out and want to experience it, go in before 9 am. I hope that the service is much better than mine and that my service experience is not this server's normal customer service experience.

    Country fried steak
    Ashley H.

    Decided to grab brunch on a Sunday morning. Clutch and Coffee was busy and my party of 2 was 14th in line when we arrived. Apparently, they are a hot brunch spot in the area. The wait was about an hour and we arrived close to 10:30am. Staff was super friendly. Hostess checked up on us after noticing that we were waiting for quite some time. Our server was Susie and she was very attentive throughout our brunch experience. The restaurant itself is very nice. We appreciated the AC after waiting under the sun. There were booths, tables and countertop seating options. We opted for the counter which was nice as we saw the diner hustle and delicious Clutch food come out at rapid speeds. Now for the coffee and food. For our first Clutch experience, we order the country fried steak and Eldon Benedict. Food was good although the country fried steak was a little on the drier side. Drinks were good and not too sweet. All in all, we had a pleasant experience. My only advice is to try this place out when there isn't a long wait.

    Miss Maggie C.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really liked this place! Just your classic all American breakfast place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be careful on weekends there are events on the area because parking can get difficult. We went on a day they were having an antique road show on the block. If you go during a busy time on the weekend, be prepared for a wait. I ordered the steak and chorizo omelette. It was so good and the portions are really big. It came with a side of potatoes and toast. I didn't end up eating my whole plate. I'd definitely come back, but on a day when there's no events on the block!

    I have had Clutch & Coffee's food about four times now (I think) and have enjoyed everything I've tried here! I've had it twice as dine-in and twice as take out. I've had their blueberry lemon and strawberry pancakes. I believe the pancakes are the same, but just the compote & toppings are different. Don't quote me on that though. Pancakes are fluffy. The compote is delicious and homemade with real fruit, none of that fake fruit syrup! Each plate does come with three so it's a lot of food. My only wish is if I could order just one pancake each flavor so I can try more dishes at once! The fried chicken and waffles were great. The menu said fried chicken breast, which scared me a little since friend chicken breast can get dry. I was pleasantly surprised how juicy the chicken breast was! It had a nice seasoning. The dish came with a candied bacon and an amazing jalapeno jam. The crispy chicken relleno sandwich was very interesting and good! It was fried chicken breast and a Chile relleno between two brioche buns. The jalapeno jam, roasted corn, cheese and arugula tied everything together. My only gripe was that the chile relleno was relatively small that you were only able to have some in your bite in maybe a third of the sandwich. It also came with seasoned fries, but it was not crispy. The country sausage eggs Benedict is the best of both worlds of an eggs Benedict and sausage&gravy. It had a crispy biscuit with polish sausage and poached eggs, and drenched in sausage gravy. Yum! It came with breakfast potatoes that I wish were crispier. The biscuits and gravy are delish with the same sausage gravy as above. There is a patio that is dog friendly. It is small that maybe holds 6 people comfortably, and it's only bar top seating, no low tables.

    I've tried coming here several times the past couple of weeks during standard business hours, whether it be just after opening or a few hours later. And they are still closed.?

    IDk, I usually am there Sundays and they are open at 8am. Maybe call before stopping by?

    Can I make a reservation for 8 or do I just have to get there and wait?

    Sorry, I think to be safe, I would call and ask them if they need reservations for 8 ppl.

    Do they do take out?

    There is always coffee bar walk up to order. Takeout not available on weekends when they are busy. I've been able to do takeout 1 out of 3 tries when it was non-peak hours.

    Does the staff wear masks?

    No. Not a one. Not the servers, not the cooks. My family will not be back.

    Is it busy?

    Yes it's very popular on weekends.... Sign up ahead on yelp👍

    Is there currently outdoor seating?

    Yes

    Is the listed phone # accurate? I called 5+ times over a 30-min. period selecting different connect options & none picked up.

    Does this place work for a family group of 8?

    Most definitely

    Do they have reliable wifi? Is it busy to get a table?

    I got a to go order. I would say call in advance for a to go order. As far as wifi ...not sure because I did not dine there.

    Chicken and waffles?

    Yes. Very good 😉. You should try it.

My friend goes here and has his own table..... he suggested I get the NY with the crusted fig and Gorgonzola. I was skeptical because I am very picky about my Gorgonzola, it has to be of good verity or it tastes fake like blue cheese dressing. I am even more picky about my steak, I only like salt and pepper. To my surprise the bread basket had flat breads, yeast breads annnndd BANANA BREAD?! What?! It was amazing! Back to the steak. It was cooked perfectly.

There are many tables for both larger and smaller parties. Majority of the guests seemed to be here for similar reasons. Staff was friendly but it did take awhile after placing orders for anything to come out of the kitchen. The bread basket we got within the first 10-20mins was nice. It had banana bread, dinner rolls and crisps which came with pesto butter. However, the rest of our food did take a while (almost 45mins) to come out which our party was pretty big so I guess I would say contributed to the wait. When the food did come out some of our party didn't get their order at the same time, which I will have to say takes away from the overall experience. I ordered the Pene Pasta with bolognese from the daily plates which I hoped would have been good and a bowl of soup (pumpkin soup was the soup of the day). However, there wasn't a lot of flavor to the overall dish and I found the meat bits in the sauce were crunchy for some reason. The few veggie bits in the dish were decent. The soup was good but overall nothing mind blowing. Overall the experience was a mixed bag. I don't know if I would come back unless it's another company function mainly due to the overall experience. There is plenty of parking in the back but also street parking is available.

Great spot for catching a game or sport via the many TV screens they have, or perhaps a casual night out, a chill date, or a weekend bite with friends. Miguel C.

It's not terrible by any means, but it's hard to justify returning. The menu features some nice Southern-influenced dishes you don't typically see at every brewery. Highlights and thoughts on what we ordered: Green Beans Appetizer: Easily the star of the table--perfectly seasoned with a great crisp crunch. Other Starters & Mains: We also tried the Brussels sprouts, chipotle wings, duck gumbo, and the daily flatbread special (tomato and burrata). Everything was decent, but for the price, nothing blew us away. Famous Brisket Dinner: A bit of a letdown. It came strictly with coleslaw and no additional sides. The flavor was fine--middle of the road overall. Between two 4-beer flights, we sampled most of their standard and hoppy lineup. They clearly excel at West Coast IPAs. However, the pricing structure on tasters feels steep--$6 for a 5oz pour of their Double IPA is tough to swallow, especially when calculated to cost more per ounce than iconic Pliny the Younger, which most places charge a dollar per ounce (when distributed). To cap off the 3-star rating, the 4-pack of IPA I purchased to-go was canned two months prior. Any craft beer enthusiast knows hoppy profiles fall off noticeably over time, and a brewery should really be prioritizing fresh inventory for retail sales. Total damage came out to around $200 for two adults and a child. For that price point, the value just wasn't there, leaving us feeling like something was missing from the experience.
