Clutch and Coffee

**Amazing First Visit—Exceptional Service & Delicious Food!** My family and I recently dined at Clutch and Coffee for the first time, and the entire experience was outstanding! Before arriving, I called to check the wait time and was told it would be about 30 minutes. The staff member kindly informed me that I could add our name to the waitlist via Yelp, which made the process so convenient. When we arrived, I double-checked with Gina at the host stand to confirm we were on the list. She was incredibly friendly and thanked me for verifying, explaining that she still needed to check us in. Her warm welcome set the tone for the rest of our meal. Once seated, our server, Frankie, went above and beyond. Since it was our first time, she took the time to highlight the restaurant’s best dishes and checked on us frequently to ensure everything was perfect. The food absolutely lived up to her recommendations—every bite was delicious! Another standout was Joseph, who cleared our plates with a smile and even struck up a friendly conversation. The entire staff made us feel so welcomed. As for the food? *Wow.* I have to give a special shoutout to the Polish sausage—I didn’t order it myself, but after stealing a bite from my family’s plate, I instantly regretted not getting my own. Next time, it’s a must-order! Between the exceptional service and the incredible food, Clutch and Coffee has earned a loyal customer. Whenever I’m back in Torrance, I’ll definitely be stopping by again. Highly recommend!

We ordered the country Benedict, a kids plate of French toast with the made in-house chicken patty, 2 egg breakfast & half side of biscuits and gravy. The gravy was so good on both plates. I liked that our server was very helpful navigate our way through the menu as it was our first time there. From the atmosphere to the service, we had a great experience. We feel like we discovered a new favorite place to eat at. Thank you!

Although a loud restaurant, everything else is wonderful. Great menu, service, food and beverages. Wait list available and we always get in faster than wait time quoted.

Come for the food, stay for the service. The country Benedict with sausage is very good. Plan on a wait if going at extended peak times. This place is good, and people know it. Hot tip: jump onto the waitlist through Yelp!!! If you wait till you get there on a busy weekend, that's what they'll have you do anyways. If you haven't been there, don't forget to stop at Torrance bakery, located a few doors down, to grab something for later. These two stops will make any weekend better.

I ordered the 16 Oz orange juice and the denver omelet. To be honest and fair I have never had an omelet like this before. It was with 3 eggs but it felt like it was more. The flavor was phenomenal and it blew your taste buds out of your mouth. The potatoes make look a little crisp but it was one of the softest potatoes I have ever had. I did not think the plate servings would be that much and myself with my friends were impressed. The orange juice felt like it was barely juiced had pulp and everything but again it was delicious. Our server was so kind and helpful, she has also came by repeatedly to check if we were good or for refills. When I am in town again this is where I will be stopping at to have breakfast again. We would have loved to sit outside but it was wet and chilly so next time ill come when it is warmer.

Greek omelette is usually my go-to and this was one of the best I've ever had - loved the artichokes! Latte with the house made vanilla bean flavor was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect breakfast!

Over here visiting and had to try this breakfast spot. This place had to be good cause of the waits we see. Everything was great. Atmosphere is excellent. We had a seat on the outside bar. The view is nice overlooking the downtown area . Food was the presentation is phenomenal. Taste was alittle underwhelming. Everything is cooked good but nothing really hit me with overwhelming flavor. But it was still good . I still recommend it as a really Good breakfast spot !

Flew in to LA and decided to grab a nice breakfast from this place with my Girlfriend! Decided to get this Loaded Breakfast Bowl and its DELICIOUS and filling. The potatoes - Bacon and Eggs were all absolutely fantastic. The sauce too was all solid. The waffle was just perfect. Not too soft or too crunchy with the right amount of sugar. Overall really happy with this place. Highly recommend! It can be very busy but we decided to sit at the kitchen area instead of booth or outside!

The most delightful eating experience I have had in a long while. Not only was the atmosphere amazing but the service was just as impeccable as it was 2 years ago! We first located the little keepsake after traveling to the area. We spent 3 hours there the first time and tasted multiple items. EVERYTHING TASTED GREAT! We returned this week and all of the food was still dynamic. The blueberry pancakes with lemon butter and loaded potatoes are our favorites.

Talk about great coffee ☕️ Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very attentive and warm.

The food was delicious! I had the breakfast sandwich and it was flavorful. The potatoes were ok. My husband got pancakes and let me say those were the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten. If we’re ever in town again we will most definitely be back

They had country gravy eggs Benedict with sausage! It doesn't look great in photos, but I loved it. And they have vegetarian mushroom country gravy! I've never seen that before! I loved my Benedict - it was delicious and had a huge portion. My wife's vegetarian country gravy was a little sour, but she liked it. Our country potatoes were kind of healthy tasting, which isn't necessarily bad. I think they helped balance the heavy country gravy. Parking is easy for weekend brunch, and it's a nice casual brunch place. They have a lot of interesting dishes I want to come back to try!

I saw this place while driving through Old Town Torrance and had to stop by. I ordered the Egg Nog Latte which was a good blend. This is a great place for Breakfast or brunch that has all your breakfast staples. I love the rugged off-road themed cafe with it’s abundance of creative lattes. Next time I’ll try their dirty Ube latte. The staff was friendly and welcoming, fast paced service for the seats that fill up pretty fast.

4.5 stars. I brought my mom to Clutch and Coffee for breakfast to catch up after my month-long trip to Asia, and I’m so glad I did! I joined the waiting list before arriving, and within 5 minutes, we were seated—no stress. The server was friendly, and the food came out quick. I had the brioche breakfast sandwich with a 16-ounce glass of chocolate milk, and it was fantastic. My mom had the 2-egg breakfast but wasn’t as impressed. I’m definitely coming back to try their sweet potato French toast and blueberry pancakes. This place has made its way into my South Bay brunch rotation. Highly recommended!

The food was exceptional and truly next level! While the dishes we ordered for our family of eight were delicious and enjoyable, the service could have been more attentive. We experienced some delays in getting assistance and had a minor issue with one dish that needed to be reordered. Overall, the quality of the food was outstanding.

Very nice staff- they were just finishing the morning rush when I came. There were multiple regulars there and conversations ongoing. Atmosphere was nice and easy. Food was delicious and fresh, would recommend to everyone and anyone. Super great!

I ordered the wrap a few times, its actually time to try something different already! Lol everything on the menu looks delicious! I've never ate in, always got it delivered to my office so I can't rate the atmosphere. The only minor issue that I have is that its smaller than wraps that I usually order from different restaurants. I don't eat beans and guacamole and I think I saw black beans and guacamole in my wrap? Which I haven't noticed the couple other times I ate it and maybe because I was so busy devouring! 😅 I'll definitely be back to try the breakfast.

First time coming here…and would I come again? Probably not. Service and waiting time was okay. However the food was disappointing. We got the country fried mushroom and the sopes Benedict. The sopes were so difficult to cut and chew and not a good combination over all. The mushroom plate was okay, it was a little undercooked. Now to the drinks, TERRIBLE!! I was excited about the strawberry matcha but it was so bummed. My drink was looked like mop water. I’ve never tried a matcha this bad.

After 4 visits. Don't let these fake reviews trick you. The simple truth is only the pancakes and drinks are great. The rest of the food is GOING to be cold or wrong. Especially the undercooked potatoes. The service is god awful, especially some older shorter lady, who got our order wrong and blamed it on us then forgot an entire person's food and claimed she never got it, so we had to cancel that plate as the rest of the table was done before it even arrived. Lastly since it was the worst service in a long time I opted to call the owner who apparently never is there and when they are, they're busy. After 4 visits ill never come back.

I’ve been a regular customer here and have always had positive experiences, which is why this visit was especially unacceptable. I walked in and waited in line for about five minutes. The barista was making drinks, and two customers were waiting off to the side. After noticing that some staff had finished helping tables, I approached two employees who were standing behind the counter talking and laughing. Since they were not busy, I politely asked if someone could assist me with my order because the barista was occupied. One employee, wearing a grey Steelers sweatshirt, immediately responded with attitude, saying the barista was busy making coffee and “not doing nothing.” I never implied otherwise — I simply asked for assistance. My food was already sitting on the counter when I entered. She then asked for my name and aggressively entered my order, told me the total was $28, and snatched the cash from my hand. She was visibly annoyed throughout the interaction. When I pointed out that asking for help should not cause such a reaction, she denied being upset and then placed my change on a tray instead of handing it to me, which felt intentionally rude and disrespectful. The entire interaction was unprofessional and unnecessary. This is not the level of service I expect from a place I’ve supported many times. This employee clearly needs customer service training. I’m leaving this review so management is aware and future customers don’t experience the same treatment.
