**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!

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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!
