Oh my Skittles! This is absolutely one of the best coffee shops I have ever been to. I traveled all the way to Pasadena to meet a friend and wanted to support a small business for our brunch experience. Anyone could go to Denny’s. I chose The Reyn due to their great reviews and I was not at all in the least disappointed. Neither was mom or Esther!
The service was spot on and our waitress was very attentive and catered to our every desire. She suggested the banana bread and oh my gravy it was delish! Mom had some of the best French Toast she’s ever had. I had a cheeseburger that had that grill flavor you could usually only hope for.
The place was packed with a flow of people coming and going. The locals apparently know all about this jewel in Pasadena. We will definitely be back. Great food, service, atmosphere, and prices.
If you rely on a couple of negative reviews, you will miss out on a great experience. And even I asked, “What is that reviewer leaving out about the extent of their experience?” We will never know the other side of their story, but I know how mine ended: full belly, happy palate, and a desire to return again and again. Try it, you’ll like it.

I had such a great experience at The Reyn Coffee Shop in Pasadena! I ordered the Italian Sausage omelet with tater tots and banana bread, and everything was delicious. The omelet was perfectly cooked, the tater tots were crispy, and the banana bread was a wonderful sweet touch.
What really stood out was the exceptional service—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. It made the meal feel even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend this spot for a hearty breakfast and warm hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!

Order the banana bread! Best ever! Lots of unique decor. Table numbers are cut from old license plates! They have overflow outdoor seating at the back of the restaurant.

A small but impressive diner in southern Pasadena. They honestly have the best banana bread that I’ve ever had and would be a reason to visit alone, but honestly all the food is seriously delicious, the portion sizes are large, and the pricing is very fair. I would say that this diner leans more toward a Mexican diner in that they have a lot of Mexican dishes as well as clientele which being from San Diego myself I’m definitely not complaining about. Our server was extremely polite and all of our items arrived fairly quickly after ordering them. They have a large parking lot attached outback with free and easy parking however inside is very small so there’s limited seating. They do have some tables outside, but you may have to wait a bit to sit inside depending on how crowded it is.
As mentioned, we started off with the Banana Bread and honestly, it was incredible. My girlfriend does not like banana bread, but loved this one which shows how good it is. For my breakfast I ordered the Ortega Supreme and got a side of hashbrowns with chili cheese on top. The omelette was very good and filled with a lot of chilies which I loved, but I was not a very big fan of the chili. It tasted too cooked, almost as if it had been in the pot too long, giving it an almost burnt flavor. Aside from that though everything else was very good and we already are eager to visit again. I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of diners or is searching for a great breakfast or lunch option in Pasadena.

Super food! Couldn’t recommend it enough!! Pancakes are like the greatest cake ever! Every breakfast I’ve ordered is delicious! Atmosphere is ok. It is a little coffee shop and nothing more. (They close at 2 pm. Takeout is a great option, too! If you like breakfast, you’ll love this place!

Went here a few months back when many places were still closed so I was excited to sit outside and enjoy the food. Ordered the Chili Cheese Omelet with home fries plus onions, French Toast and a coffee. Food was tasty and the place was pretty full which was great. Omelet was yummy, well cooked and had nice flavors, home fries were cooked nice too. I love potatoes. Coffee was ok, not too watered down. French toast was yummy, not too soggy. Staff was pleasant, guy came to check often if I needed anything.

Wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch! Staff is polite and the portions are great. Prices are very reasonable and the palm tree lined street is beautiful for photos. One of our favorite breakfast spots in Pasadena! Try the homemade banana bread !!

I was looking for a breakfast spot with some decent seating and food, so I just stumbled upon here with a friend. Everything was so solid! If I imagine what a great all-American cafe diner is, this place fulfills all those expectations. So much Americana decor everywhere haha. And the waitress who served us was really sweet. Lots and lots of parking available.

EDIT: I visited The Reyn today with my partner for breakfast, expecting a nice meal but left feeling disappointed. From the moment we sat down, we felt rushed. We placed our order right away, and my partner specifically asked for her hashbrowns to be very well done. The server seemed fine with the request, so we expected it would be no issue.
However, when her food arrived, the hashbrowns were barely cooked. She sent them back, hoping they’d come out right on a second try. It ended up taking a full 10 minutes, and we had to remind them before the dish was finally returned—by which point we were about ready to leave. To add to the frustration, the hashbrowns still came back undercooked.
When we went to pay, we mentioned the experience to the manager (bald, wearing a button-down shirt). Rather than being understanding or offering an apology, he just explained “how hashbrowns are cooked” and then brushed us off, asking us to pay without acknowledging our frustration. I don’t expect much, but his response left a sour impression.
Two stars only because the food was edible, but I’m not planning on coming back. The service was disappointing from start to finish.

We visited The Reyn for breakfast for the first time and we weren’t disappointed. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was attentive and great. While the coffee was mediocre, everything else made up for it. They’re well known for their homemade banana bread, which was delicious and didn’t taste overly sweet. The old-school diner vibes, complete with Snoopy decor, were charming and nostalgic. It’s a small place, but there’s plenty of parking in the back and on the street. They also have a few outdoor seating spots, but I suggest you try to eat at one of the booths indoors to truly get a feel for the place. Highly recommend!

I have been coming here since I was very young. I’ve seen the change in management 3 times. I was happy to know all of management as they took over. Isreal took the business over serval years ago and uses to be nice. Now from reading other reviews, that has now changed and I experience it. He was rude. Although I can waste ur time to tell u my story, I won’t. I will not be coming back here due to rude management behavior and I hope that one day I can meet the next owners. Maybe she or he won’t forget where they started. Please humble yourself because it can all be taking from you. The food is good and the banana bread is the best. Sad I cant support this business anymore.
