    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!

    Matcha Latte - you can order it without sweeteners! Hurray!

    Amazing local breakfast spot. I love that they are open at 7:30am to get your breakfast bright and early. The food portions are just right - not too much and very satisfying. They do a great job in their presentation of their food too! And the taste matches the presentation. Service is attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Cozy interior seating and nice outdoor seating overlooking Colorado blvd. In a very short time, it has become our go-to weekend breakfast spot.

    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.

    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!

    Update: I ate the rest of the burrito for dinner and there were lemon seeds in it! Yep, entire lemon seeds. I've never had a burrito with lemon seeds. Why? Can someone from the restaurant explain this? How can something that was so put together have lemon seeds. I mean, was that supposed to be adding texture cuz there are other ways to do that besides adding lemon seeds that could catch in someone's throat. For this reason, I have to lower the rating to three stars. It was really good, but I probably won't go back now. How disappointing. Original review: I tried this place after seeing the reviews on Yelp. I was looking for a really good breakfast burrito. Well, I found it! It is a small place, but there is seating outside and around the business. There is a nice view of the mountains on one side. Inside, is like a homey kind of eating place with a large tv. Don't be fooled though, the coffee and food is amazing! I ordered a latte with oat milk and it came with a cute foam bear and the chicken sausage burrito was so fresh and well cooked. I loved the fact that it looked so neat inside the burrito, not just thrown together and squished inside. It looked like someone actually cared about the food and how it would be presented and I could taste that. The same with the coffee. It was all so pretty. I don't think I've ever seen a breakfast burrito or latte that reflected that adjective. The best part was that everyone working there was so polite and nice. I watched them interact with all the diners and everyone received the same professional and polite treatment. It was a great atmosphere. I also checked out the food on other tables and everything looked so nice and delicious. I could smell some of the diners syrup and pancakes with I first walked up, freshly made. It is open seating so you don't have to worry about being placed where you don't want to be and if you want to live outside, no problem. When in the area, I would definitely go here again. Oh, and I could only finish a little less than half of the burrito. So, you get a good amount and the sauce...wow! I asked for some to take home and still filled it up with what was left from my meal. It's a good sauce that could go with a lot of different foods. You have to try this place out. It's not fancy, but the food definitely is!

    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 =)

    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.

    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.

I believe they might be the OG). Matcha latte (they make theirs unsweetened, and for purists, this is perfect!) I need to talk about their Ube foam here. You can add it to any drink (I like topping my pandan lattes with it--it's a perfect flavor blend!) It is decadent, sweet, and creamy, and yes, makes your drink a dessert! While other shops also make Ube cream tops, Dash's Ube foam is the best one by a large margin when it comes to taste and texture. The shop space is cozy and clean, with indoor and outdoor seating. There is customer turnover, but sometimes it's not fast, so a few times, I've had to take my drinks to go even though I had planned to stay a while if seating allowed--obviously others enjoy the vibe here as well!

Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks!

The coffee was nothing special so I definitely won't recommend. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my drinks and I felt like the drinks were overpriced so I won't recommend or return unfortunately.

    I love Jameson coffee!…read more At most coffee shops, I usually order cold brew, but here I always go for an Americano. If you like fruity coffee or coffee with a strong bright acidity, I definitely recommend this place. That said, I can see how the flavor profile might not be for everyone, especially if you prefer a more traditional dark-roasted style coffee. The only downside is the parking. It's mostly street parking, and this place always seems to be busy, so finding a spot can be a bit difficult. Because of that, it's not always the easiest place for a quick coffee pickup. Still, the coffee itself is great, and this is one of the places I'd happily come back to.

    Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters is located at 260 North Allen Avenue Pasadena, California 91106. It…read morehas been a mainstay for exceptional coffee for over 20 years. Considering the quality that they have maintained, this is an exceptional achievement. This location has undergone a number of different physical and structural modifications over the years. What has stayed the same is the knowledgeable, friendly service of the staff. Their knowledge helps make this an incredible place to have a cup of great coffee or purchase fresh roasted coffee beans. I have tried many different combinations of coffees and roasting techniques.... Light medium or dark roast. Rose City blend ground for a drip coffee maker (cone filter) is my favorite. It's nice that they have bites that you can pair with your cup of coffee as you wait. The customers are often drinking coffee, on a laptop, or working on their phone. Great background music plays throughout the main area of the room. There are many customers that come in to pick up their order that they have placed over the phone. The staff here is always busy cleaning, preparing coffee, or helping customers. Depending upon the time that you are there you may have to wait for other customers to complete their order. I love that they have a selection of tables, and counter space. I've never had a long wait to find a place to sit. They also have a few tables located outside with umbrellas. Depending upon the time of day parking can be a problem. There is off street parking along Allen and other side streets. I highly recommend this Pasadena Gem!

    Mandarin one was definitely caffeinated fun and now act two is a spot for you and a crew…read more As I went to the counter I didn't have a clue what I wanted so I ordered a few. As my eyes watched them carefully prepare my drink my anticipation grew. With my view I started to think about my review and then my ideas all started coming through and I was like phew! I stated off with their One on One and after that I felt brand new! My second drink was a Pour Over and from there I was really ready like Scooby Doo! Or maybe like an animal escaping the Zoo! LoL! But seriously, baristas here take the craft very seriously and tasting the coffee and watching them how much they enjoy doing what they do it's a no brainer why this place is legit. The service was great and the atmosphere total chill as well as the playlist. And that's my take on it, Peace out...

    Let's get to it!…read more 5/5! Just like the og location in the Burlington Arcade, this one is great! They have different menus but the quality is really good. I got the gui hua latte and it was lightly sweetened plus made with oatmilk. The drink comes hot automatically. The espresso was smooth and easy to drink. Overall will be back! Service was nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of seats and they have tables for those who have work to do. It's located below a residential building. Lots of parking available. Decent pricing too!
