I have been going to the Little Red Hen since the late 70's. Always friendly and good food.

WARNING! I have lived in Altadena for many years and always make it a point to help local businesses. I finally got around to visiting The Little Red Hen Coffee Shop today, on a fine Saturday morning. First warning sign, only one other couple was sitting at the restaurant (9:10am). We had a difficult time understanding the waitress, which made ordering food an issue. The coffee was un-drinkable--rancid to be more precise. I told her so, she didn't seem to care or understand, and I believe left on the bill at the end. I ordered an Omelette with cheese and my son ordered the kids meal, scrambled eggs and a pancake. 45 minutes later, the food came out (no, really, 45 minutes later). The Omelette was a small pile of eggs covered in plastic pre-graded cheddar cheese (not melted) and hash browns heavily salted. I paid an extra $1 for a very small piece of sourdough bread dipped in butter. I asked for the bill when the food came out. At this point I wanted to leave, we tried a few bites, it was gross and upset my stomach. The pancake had no flavor. The food was over-priced and inedible. I have dined at the finest truck stops around the country and gross ones as well. This was a new low in restaurant food. We drove to another breakfast place in Altadena and had breakfast. Yeah, lesson learned.

Had a wonderful southern-style breakfast sandwich and my sig. Other had the French toast. Both delicious! Beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy it while looking at the mountain landscapes out front of the shop. Excellent customer service. It sounds like they have a great lunch menu as well. Will definitely be back!Thank you, Thank you

I was working nearby one morning and needed a cup of coffee. Nice ladies, good coffee, food looked really appetizing. Don't know why some commenters felt shunned not being black, perhaps my Irish good looks rewarded me with the staffs smiles.Thank you Mr Clark! Come bk again n try our soulfully delicious food.
