The Best Brunch in Old Town Pasadena Isn’t What You’d Expect
Pasadena has no shortage of brunch spots. Avocado toast, bottomless mimosas, the usual. But if you're looking for brunch in Old Town Pasadena that actually does something different — something that makes you want to come back the following weekend — Bone Kettle is the answer you weren't expecting.
We're a Southeast Asian kitchen at 67 North Raymond Avenue, and our weekend brunch menu brings the same depth of flavor and quality of ingredients that define our dinner service. The result is a brunch experience built on slow-cooked bone broth, bold Southeast Asian spice, and dishes that feel both familiar and completely distinct.
What Makes Bone Kettle Brunch Different
Most brunch menus are built around eggs and toast with a cocktail to make it feel special. Ours starts from a different place entirely.
The bone broth that anchors our kitchen is simmered for up to 36 hours — the same base that powers our dinner bowls shows up in our brunch menu in ways that add depth and richness you won't find anywhere else in Pasadena. Southeast Asian ingredients, slow cooking, and a kitchen that takes the midday meal as seriously as the evening one.
It's brunch worth making a reservation for.
The Atmosphere
The Bone Kettle dining room works as well on a Saturday morning as it does on a Friday night. Warm, modern, relaxed — the kind of space that makes you want to order one more thing and stay a little longer. Whether you're coming in with family, settling in for a long weekend table with friends, or looking for a brunch spot in Old Town Pasadena for a special occasion, the room delivers.
We're in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, which means you're already in one of the best neighborhoods in the city for a weekend morning. Walk in before or after exploring the area — we'll have a table for you.
The Bar
Weekend brunch without a good drinks list is just lunch. Our bar program brings the same intention to brunch cocktails that our kitchen brings to food. Whether you're starting the weekend right or winding down a Saturday morning in Pasadena, we have what you're looking for.
