50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Brea

“We stopped by IHOP for a late-night dinner and were greeted promptly with no wait time—seated right away, which was a great start. Our server, Rosario, was very friendly and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu before taking our drink orders.

Our family ordered breakfast items, including omelets and the Split Decision plates. My wife’s Build Your Own Omelet came out missing a couple of ingredients, but impressively, the kitchen and Rosario caught the mistake before we even had a chance to say anything and fixed it right away.

I did end up grabbing condiments myself after asking, but Rosario appeared to be the only server managing five other tables and handling to-go orders—so it’s understandable. She definitely deserves some extra support, but she stayed friendly and professional throughout.

All around, it was a great meal with good service. We'd definitely come back again.“

“Quick stop for breakfast and had a great experience! Ordered Huevos Rancheros in green salsa and coffee. Tasty tomatillos sauce, crispy tortillas and fresh eggs.

Staff is very accommodating and the place is very clean and cozy.“

“The Breakfast Factory at the Brea Mall ⬅️

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Breakfast Factory in the Brea Mall food court, and let me tell you, it was a very tasty experience! While they offer some mouthwatering breakfast burritos that caught my eye, I decided to try their smash burger menu this time.

I went for the double cheeseburger smash burger combo, which came with a generous portion of crispy fries and a drink that had free refills—always a plus! The burger was a true standout, featuring their house sauce that reminded me of a delicious Thousand Island dressing, along with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.

I was thoroughly impressed and can’t wait to go back and try their breakfast offerings and other menu items. If you’re in the area and looking for a satisfying meal, The Breakfast Factory is definitely worth a visit! Five stars all the way!“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“HI, I have to be honest. I was trying to find a way to contact Flappy Jacks as I have a proposition I think would be perfect for Flappy Jacks I have what is probably a bit of an unusual idea. Or maybe just a good idea. I know it is an unusual way to contact you but there was no email address. So I hope this works. I am from Columbia Missouri and I am visiting my Son, Grand Kids, and family there, just a few blocks to the East of Tustin. I am a musician, part time, and I like to street busk (play music on the streets) for grins. I noticed your nostalgic decor and your Elvis statues and the mural featuring the St Louis Arch, which is in Missouri on the Mississippi, of course, where I am from, and the 1930s, 40s and 50s nostalgia, and I wondered if you ever considered, or entertained the notion of having a little nostalgic live music, every now and then, perhaps even if only just once as an experiment. I just happen to play that old classic blues from that era, mostly, at least in this capacity, as Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band. And I thought we might make a pretty good match up. As I said, at least, as an experiment. You can check me out at Facebook "Keith Fletcher, musician." Though most of that music is from my original music shows, and not my one man blues sets. I noticed you had a nice patio area where I could play outside and it might be a nice treat for your customers to have a bit of entertainment, just for a change of pace. They might really appreciate it since they obviously like your atmosphere. I don't play loud music. Unless folks want that, but I prefer to play soft. Or at least in situations like this. I've been the house band for BBQ joints and restaurants on several occasions. So I am familiar with the proper decorum. Mostly I was just looking for a little music adventure in CA within a walking distance of my Son's house, where I could carry a very tiny amp about the size of a cracker box, and my guitar to a gig. I thought maybe about just doing a street gig but saw your venue and something seemed to click. I hope you think so too. I estimate you are about a mile walking distance from his house and I only need an electrical plug. And probably some cool beverages. Like I said, I'm mostly in it for a small musical adventure, and so will play for tips, though, maybe you can pay me with free cold beverages, especially if it is hot, and maybe a sandwich or meal depending on how long I am there. It all looks delicious to me. If you find you'd like to host me again, and want me back, that might be possible over the week, and I may be back for the Christmas holiday. I might even be able to talk my Son into bringing the kids and family. Could be a total bust, or could be a very nice thing, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Who knows? If it worked out well enough for both of us, you might even want to do it again sometime, Maybe even offer some kind of fee next time, if there is a next time. Life is an adventure. You / we, might stumble onto something good. If you would like to give it a whirl, what day and time would you think is good to catch a crowd? I am not sure what plans the family has, so maybe list a few slots. Look forward to hearing from you. I'll be flying your way tomorrow and leaving California on the 22nd. Thanks, Keith Fletcher AKA Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band“

“Highly recommended by my peers that live out here.“

“Best Brunch ever! Light and crispy waffles with perfectly seasoned chicken. The salad was bright and acidic and the fruit was extremely fresh. Also, the counter service helps the food get there quicker than a diner, and it removes the need to tip a waiter.“

“The pancakes are out of this world ,the bacon 🥓 🍳 have good portions,the server was attentive and nice ,thank you Dyana God bless.“

“This place is a hidden gem FOR SURE!
We're just visiting LA from Sacramento & I'm so glad we found this place.
Food was so delicious & filling.
the service was excellent!
10 stars if I could!
Thank you all for your service❤️“

“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended“

“good food great price pancakes are big and fluffy. would go back if I lived down there“

“My lady and I enjoy this restaurant very much.Their menu has plenty of tasty choices where quality and portion size is excellent.We love their staff because they are always nice and friendly.We will return soon!“

“The food was amazing. We all shared the Tiki French toast which was amazing. We all loved our food.“

“El burrito el café el lugar las enchiladas muy ricas 💯 recomendado 😍👈“

“How do I start? Oh yeah, friendly staff, efficient service, clean venue and de-lish everything! That about sums it all up... No frills! Just great tasting grub if you're into that sort of thing. Wifey loves the array of deliciousness available but almost always orders waffles! Keep the coffee coming!!!“

“Friendly staff and fresh, delicious food! Highly recommend.“

“The establishment provides a pleasant ambiance within a compact space, which is accessible for wheelchair users. The pricing is reasonable, and the menu boasts a diverse selection, including healthy options with portion-specific nutritional information, which is beneficial for individuals with dietary restrictions. The chilaquiles were flavorful, featuring crispy tortilla chips and well-prepared eggs. While the salsa could be improved, it adequately provides the desired level of spiciness. The bunny protein bowl was satisfactory, though it could benefit from enhanced seasoning. The children's portions are appropriately sized for the price. The bacon was slightly overcooked. Overall, the dining experience was positive, making it a suitable venue for enjoying breakfast. Service feels a bit to quick here but they are polite saying no rush.“

“It was really good. I was expecting a little different. The staff was very attentive and Nicole is top notch!“

“My husband and I went to la habra Ihop instead of the one closest to our house in la mirada. The manager Arturo from the La mirada Ihop is now working in the La Habra Ihop. We missed him and there is such a difference in food and customer service there. Since Arturo left, La mirada is not the same. Bad customer service and food isn't as tasty in La mirada. We finally found our Ihop to be happy.“

“The kimchi carbonara was so good—I couldn’t stop eating!
That’s why the photo’s a little messy… I only remembered to take it halfway through 😅
Honestly, it’s the best pasta I’ve had in the U.S.!
It’s summer, but I sat outside with my baby and it wasn’t hot at all.
Loved the food and the vibe.
I’ll definitely be back!“

“great breakfast every time...“

“What a wonderful pancake house, it knocked spots off another famous pancake house that we tried yesterday. We are visiting from the UK, so visiting a pancake house for breakfast was a "must do"! Pancakes delicious, orange juice freshly squeezed and outstanding, friendly customer service. Thank you so much for welcoming us. Would definitely recommend a visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Exceptional service and delicious food! We had lunch and dinner for 3 straight days and it was always awesome!“

“Love coming here in the morning..also..the Lady in the morning, (the mother, wife, of the owners,) she has the best hospitality ever :)“

“My company used Crossroads for a very long project that required catering every weekday for over three weeks. Helen was quick on delivery, she was willing to work with us to add variation to the lunches and her prices could not be beat. The employees we were training highly complimented all the food. Sandwiches, wraps, tacos, bento bowls and salads. All of it was delicious. I cannot thank Helen a Crossroads enough for her hard work and wonderful food.“

“Breakfast is always delicious at Snooze. The pancakes are good when you have a sweet tooth. The corned beef hash is the best, chunks of brisket, no fat. The service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is fun and sunny. The colors of the restaurant are happy colors and everyone is enjoying food with family and friends! There is a wait, but it's never too long, especially when you have time to peruse antique shops!“

“Came here with my family for breakfast. The service was pretty good considering we were a party of 9. The food took a long time to come out and wasn't very hot, but at least it all came out at once and it tasted delicious. The pumpkin spice latte was also amazing. Will definitely come back.“

“Sometimes they have entertainment in the evening and the comedy show is the best! The tickets are $15, and the intimate venue make for a great evening of hilarious comedy.“

“The food was great, and the place looked beautiful, however there was one weird thing about it. Throughout us eating here, there were these random animals that kept coming up to us. At first it was fine, just like ducks and chipmunks, but then i started seeing mice? It just kinda weirded me out, but then we saw a tiger and a bear?! I just can’t believe they let these animals into the restaurant.“

“My sister just Introduced me to Crepes & Grapes Cafe Great choice sister 👍👍“

“Super soft donuts even a day later. Best donuts I've tried in my 45 years of existence. Breakfast burritos filled the three of us unless you are a monster muncher. The tortilla almost seems homemade. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and delicious. Came down from the bay area to try them out. Going back for more. **Update, they open early, so if you are going to Disney, then this place is right down the street, just map it. Always great soft moist donuts. Vietnamese coffee, great and you can ask for it even stronger. Ask for the secret sauce. Low quantities of donuts at 11:00 am.“

“FOOD
huge portion sizes. i personally think the buffet price is not worth it; not much variety in food. just generic breakfast food. unless youre a very big eater or like eating a mix of everything, stick to the menu. chia seed pudding could use some more toppings. it was like 90 percent chia

SERVICE
just a little slow. servers are nice.

ENVIRONMENT
very convenient for people staying at hyatt. lots of seating. cool decorations.“

“I’ve always loved IHOP, but the location at 830 N Euclid St in Anaheim is truly exceptional. I’ve been a regular customer here for over 10 years, coming at least a couple of times each month, and it’s consistently been a fantastic experience.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They always go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, whether I’m enjoying their signature fluffy pancakes, a hearty breakfast combo, or one of their savory dishes.

The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and well-organized, even during busy times. It’s clear that the team takes pride in delivering great service and quality food. This location has become like a second home for me—I always know I’ll leave satisfied.

If you’re looking for a reliable spot with great food and a warm atmosphere, this IHOP is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy breakfast spot with good lunch options.“

“Great service great staff !!“

“First time here. Great service. Food was prepared just as I asked.“

“Bummer our server had no name badge ?Shame on her ?She actually covered things Very Well, and was a total spitfire, harassing us a whole bunch ? a total great CrackUp lady!Three Disc Golf compadres and I really enjoyed ourselves all around on our visit there

Parking: Fair amount of spaces in direct proximity of restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Kids menuCasual, so kids wouldn't be a disruption“

“It's IHOP. My boyfriend wanted pancakes and I can't fill him up on $5 anywhere else. Only went there because we were leaving town and had a long day. It's in a Strong asain community with so much good food. Ihop is for tourist and mexicans in the area. That being said, the pancakes were very good. The service was very good. And the price was right. Nothing wrong with it. Just a lot of other good options in the area if your open to non-american food. If you really just want to eat what your used to, it's a good quality option.“

“The fun addition of people who will take your picture and will make balloon animals is nice. Other than that it's a regular IHOP. Pretty good value overall. My kid ate 3 banana pancakes for 2 breakfasts.
My only disappointment was the pineapple splasher that didn't come with the fruit as pictured“

“Visiting from out of town and not use to the humidity we stopped in to beat the heat for a few seconds, a very nice worker named Daniel came over and saw how hot we were, he offered us ice water and proceeded let us stay as along as we wanted. Thank you for your kindness much appreciated, very friendly environment and clean.“

“Super clean and my Favorite Mediterranean Chicken Salad !! The Combibation breakfast burritos are delicious. We enjoy their breakfast specials too !! And their staff are really nice great food and service. Drive thru is pretty quick as well but we enjoy dinning in.“

“I had not been to IHOP in a while. Stopped in while waiting to pickup a family member. Steady parade of customers observed while sitting near the cashier.

Ordered a discounted 55+ senior breakfast and substituted (my favorite) protein pancakes for the basic. The plate was very warm and kept the food warm throughout the meal. Eggs overeasy and crispy bacon. All cooked as ordered. Pancakes were a smaller than regular plates. Still, plenty of food.

Jose took care of everything I needed during the meal. Helpful, efficient and kept the table from being cluttered.

Parking was easy and everything, in and out, was clean and well maintained.

Stop on by when you have a chance. Lots of upgrades are happening.“

“Friendly staff, delicious food ❗️❗️“

“My family and I came in after going to my cousins party because the taco man ran out of food. We weren't in the best mood but let me tell you that changed once our server Mellory attended us. She was so sweet and kind to my son and made our night. We received our food super fresh! We're not from the area but we would definitely come back. Thank you Mellory for being a great server.“

“good coffee drinks. Fast Service. Friendly staff. Food was basic coffee shop.“

“it was a Sunday morning and before getting there before stepping inside, we could see that there was a line. We came to find out how long the wait would be the attendant said it would be 510 minutes. It ended up being more like an hour for a party of two. very disappointed at the fact that they said five or 10 minutes but it’s understandable food here is better than average, and the service is the best part. They are very friendly and took care of everything quickly. Besides the wait time everything else was better than average. I do recommend this place when they do not have a line. The location is small and it seems like often times it’s always overpacked. This is a four star location. In my opinion I will eat here again if I don’t have to wait so long.“

“me encanta el cafe, y los pakekes deliciosos el lunes 14 de marzo fui x mi cumplenos tenia mucho que no iva me encanta todo y las meters muy amables ,,“

“We had a table of 19, that's a lot of people. Every single order was correct. I wish I could remember our server's name to give her the credit. I ordered my hash browns almost burnt, with the iced coffee which I got to go because it was so good. We all spit out tickets across the table which is more complicated! They had to push together 3/4 tables for us. Great service and food. I would love to come back to this IHOP during our next vacation!“
