Aurora took great care of us! I had the outstanding horchata - big enough to share! My companions and I each got the superb chicken and waffles, which simply can't be beat. A little sweet, a little savory - the fried chicken breast is tender, crispy, crunchy perfection. We'll be back!

Would have been better bringing my own bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Service was weird and bad. Nobody came to greet us and offer water and take drink order for at least 5 minutes after seating. The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

Scrambled eggs 5 stars, no complaints, Bacon 4 stars, I've had better, not bad. They have a green salsa if you ask for it, Service 4 stars was good enough Ambiance 4.5 stars, had a good vibe, big open place, parking is behind the front with ample spaces. Overall 4 stars, will go back and try something else.

Some of the worst customer service ever from everyone working inside the restaurant. The woman in…read morethe front who seats people is miles ahead in customer service than anyone inside. She was amazing. All 3 tables around us got their food before us. All 3 tables had to send back their food because it was either wrong or incorrect. Place looks well staffed but everyone seems miserable aside from the woman outside. Our food was also wrong. Out of 4 dishes 2 of them were wrong. If you order anything sweet, food or drink, expect heavy amounts of syrup. Not homemade syrups. Maybe hersheys or maybe wal mart brand. Not sure. Very synthetic. Hey at least the food looks great. The ambiance is great. The service is bad. The wait time is even worse. Waiting for a table is understandable. Waiting an hour for your food after being seated is not. Does not help when the server is rolling her eyes the whole time, and with an angry face the entire time. She was like that when we walked in so i know it wasnt us. Parking: 0/10 Wait time: 0/10 Service inside: 0/10 Service outside: 11/10 Food look: 10/10 Food taste: 3/10 Drink look: 10/10 Drink taste: 0/10 Also the table next to us which was a small group spent their entire time talking about how bad th service and food is. Once we were served we tried to form our own opinion. Unfortunately it was identical. Very dissapointed

Server Fatima was just the right level of attentive and kind. Nothing on the table was sticky with syrup residue and the place appeared clean throughout. The menu is extensive - don't be misled by the name of the restaurant - it's not only pancakes. Coffee, soda, two breakfast meals with tax came to about $39.00 prior to tip, which I consider good value these days. This will go up on my list of pancake places for sure and I'll consider it for lunches and dinner.

Well, this old-style breakfast joint lived up to it's Yelp rating. Nice service, and the food was great. I had the blueberry pancakes with a side of egg and bacon. Nothing to say about the bacon and overeasy egg, good as anywhere else. But, the blueberry pancakes had actual blueberries mixed into the batter, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar to complete the dish. Nicely done. I will bring the wife-unit the next time we are in this area, and let sample this place.

The decor had lots of pictures of old San Pedro mixed with a nautical theme. The music was classic rock which I really like. I chose the barbecue Tri-tip wagyu with fries without salt. I paired my lunch with a bottle of Heineken. The beer was served with a chilled glass mug and was cold. Service was excellent and very friendly. Tri-tip was good, not outstanding. I don't like fries that are pre-coated. I prefer plain cut potatoes fir my fries. I am still on the hunt for my favorite barbecue place

Not sure if they are but i get a family ran ambient from them which feels nice. I don't think any other breakfast/brunch joint tops this place. Craft beer on draft? Come onnnn lol. If i didnt go during work hours, i'd totally have one. Their portions are true and fulfilling, you're getting your buck for sure. This last time i went for blueberry pancakes and craving was by far completed and satisfied. Their pancakes taste very unique and different. They were very yummy, i was sad i couldn't finish them. Their lattes are really good as well. Restrooms are very clean and up to standards for sure. Just typing this makes me want to go again. Enjoy!

This was my second visit to Clutch and Coffee. Approximately nine months ago, I came with a friend…read moreand had an excellent experience. I entered with my service dog without any issue. Today I arrived about ten minutes before 8:00 a.m. We were the only customers present besides one waitress and a male employee. He wore a black hat, had a short blonde beard, wire-rimmed glasses, and small-gauge black earring plugs. This employee demonstrated no knowledge of ADA or California service animal laws. Given the number of seniors and service-animal users in Old Torrance, staff handling the front should be familiar with these requirements. He asked me to sit on the patio. I requested an indoor booth instead. He then asked for papers or identification for the service dog. I explained that no such documentation is required under the law and that fraudulent service animals often carry papers. I informed him that businesses may ask only two questions: (1) whether the animal is a service dog required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task the dog has been trained to perform. He continued to raise health-code concerns and responded dismissively. He eventually seated us in a booth. Service after seating was poor. The waitress ignored our table for approximately seventeen minutes. She did not inform us that menus were already on the table. She later set down waters without comment and left. A young male employee refilled our drinks first. The waitress returned to the table only a couple of times and appeared only at the end when she noticed money on the table for the check. We were seated away from other guests and largely ignored throughout the meal, which made the experience awkward. We waited an extended period for the check. When an elderly woman and her daughter arrived at the front door, we stood to leave. We waited another two to three minutes with payment in hand before placing the money on the table and departing. The restroom was filthy. There were no paper towels for drying hands. Toilet paper was on the floor, soap was on the ground, and toilet-seat covers were scattered and torn from the wall dispenser. As we appeared to be the first customers to use the restroom that morning, the condition suggests it had not been cleaned from the previous evening. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III, restaurants are places of public accommodation and must allow service dogs to accompany individuals with disabilities in all areas open to the public, including indoor seating. Staff may ask only two questions when it is not obvious that a dog is a service animal: (1) whether the dog is a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task the dog has been trained to perform. Businesses may not require documentation, identification cards, certification, vests, or any form of paperwork. They also may not inquire about the nature of the person's disability or demand that the animal demonstrate its tasks. California law, including the Disabled Persons Act (Civil Code §§ 54-54.2), reinforces these federal protections. Local health codes do not override the ADA right of access for a properly controlled service dog in dining areas. The manner in which we were greeted immediately set a negative tone for the entire meal. Although my companion and I enjoyed each other's company, that was the only positive aspect of the visit. The initial confrontation over my service dog, followed by prolonged neglect from the waitress, made the experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Throughout the meal I also felt meticulously watched, as if the staff were waiting for us to finish quickly and leave. As a result, I was unable to fully enjoy or finish my meal.

Big menu with tons of pancake, waffle, and French toast options, plus a solid drinks selection (teas, coffees, smoothies). No Bloody Marys, but they make up for it with michaladas, which was a nice surprise. They also had a few choice for mimosas and even fun mimosa flights. I got the steak and eggs 8/10-- really good. My friend had the huevos rancheros 8/10 and loved it. Our server Abel was awesome -- super friendly and checked on us throughout the meal. Lively, popping atmosphere with great food and service.

Plenty of parking on a Sunday morning. We were warmly welcomed in by the staff and given our choice to sit anywhere. They were moderately busy with customers dining in and outside. Whenever having breakfast somewhere new to me, I like to try a basic breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a starch. Since they offer homemade biscuts, decided to give that a try. Hubby chose the green chilaquiles plate and OJ. He said it was about 3.5 stars. My plate looked and tasted good however I was surprised that the 2 eggs appeared to be 1 egg. The server was OK with getting another egg. Overall, my plate was about 3.5 stars. The service is kind and welcoming. Their soundtrack is upbeat and ecclectic. They do offer lunch specials Monday through Friday from 12PM to 3PM which is their closing time. Breakfast/brunch is so competitive in the South Bay. There is a place in Torrance that the hubby and I frequent regularly and they set the bar high. (You can probably guess what place that is from my regularly posted photos from there.) Overall, the Nook is 3.5 stars from us rounded up to 4.
