19 Best Diners near Covina

“I'm a huge breakfast fan, and THIS place is my always go-to spot in Covina. The staff is always friendly, the coffee is quite good and refreshed often, food portions are on the larger side, the taste is excellent, and the somewhat dated decor just fits the whole experience. If you like old school diners... this place is for you.“

“New to California and been here several times over the past few months. The place reminds me of good home cooking diner style. Always friendly and effective service.

“If breakfast is your favorite meal of the day, Nano Café is where you belong. They serve it all day, but it’s the **hospitality** that makes this place unforgettable.

My first visit was solo, and I was lucky to have **Jazmin** as my server. She was fun, friendly, and knew the menu like the back of her hand. Her recommendations were on point, the food came out perfectly timed, and the entire vibe made me feel like a regular—even though it was my first time. That experience alone was enough to bring me back.

But it was our second visit that truly made Nano’s feel like home.

This time, I came with my whole family—**my mom, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece, my nephew, and me.** I called ahead to ask if they had seating for children. Not only did they confirm, but when we arrived 15 minutes later, they had **two high chairs set up at a reserved table** with **warm cinnamon rolls waiting for the kids.** That’s the kind of thoughtful preparation you rarely see anymore.

**Barbara** was our server, and she was outstanding. She brought toys for the kids, laughed with them, kept coffee flowing, and when a spill happened, she had it handled instantly—with a smile. Her energy was calm, professional, and truly caring. She didn’t just take care of us—she made us feel welcome.

> “This isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory-maker.”

Nano’s has this rare quality where you walk in expecting a good breakfast, and you leave with something more. Whether you're a solo diner, a couple out for brunch, or a family navigating high chairs and napkins—**they get it.**

> **Special shout-out to Barbara**: Thank you for going above and beyond. I genuinely wish you all the best in your life and your journey—**take that trip with your parents.** You deserve it.

**Why I recommend Nano’s Café:**
- Friendly, human service (not just “customer service”)
- Kid-friendly without sacrificing adult quality
- Always consistent food + fast coffee = winning
- You leave feeling better than when you arrived

> **“Low-key legendary. If you know, you know.”**

**Bottom line:** Nano’s Café isn’t trying to be flashy—and that’s exactly why it works. Whether you’re local or visiting, it’s the kind of place you tell your friends about later. Because when care like this shows up on a Tuesday morning?
You don’t forget it.“

“Mopars of California is honored to host their First Friday monthly event there. The atmosphere is awesome and the food is delicious. Here are photos from last First Friday event.“

“I always pass this restaurant on my bus route and usually I don’t have time to stop however I did today and I must say the customer service is amazing and I ordered the French toast combo with a side of potatoes O’Brian… First of all the French toast is so damn good. I didn’t even need syrup next, I’m gonna talk about these potatoes that was cooked to Perfection… They were crispy & soft they were amazing. My eggs were over medium perfect. I mean just perfect. I will definitely be returning. There aren’t as many good restaurants in this area, but this is definitely one of them and once again the customer service was amazing. The only reason why I did not give it five stars for the atmosphere is because I sat at the bar area and there was a lady who just would not get off of her phone. She had it on speaker and it was super loud. You would’ve thought she had it connected to surroundsound and that is the only reason why it was four stars for the atmosphere I just wish people would be a little more considerate so for that reason I actually cut my visit short and just packed my food up to go however, once again this restaurant is amazing super clean the restroom really clean and once again the customer service is truly truly amazing please go and visit this restaurant“

“This restaurant food reminds me of one of those family Sundays at Grandma's house. The flavor in food is amazing and very good quality. The place sends you back in time. They still do those old-school shakes (they are amazing, btw), but the outmost here is just very nice and clean. I truly recommend this place. It's a blast from the past.“

“Excellent service from Pattie“

The choices were great, I ordered from a specials menu… delicious, I had one scrambled egg, cooked to perfection, hash browns, sausage… all very good. I was there with a couple of friends, they each got omelets. Service wad quick, and friendly. Very attentive. Great music from the 1959’s… it was playing in the background.
