27 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Duarte

“This was our second time here. The young woman host didn’t smile, nor responded to my greeting, “good morning” but our server was very friendly and that created a great atmosphere. We weren’t rushed to order. The food was good. They don’t have Tapatio chili sauce, but they have “chiles toreados.”“

“Cozy restaurant full of character, good vibes and yummy food near a babbling creek in a mostly hidden canyon - what’s not to love ?❤️“

“I loved going there for dinner, I didn't know they were open for dinner now with the new ownership. The filet of Sole dinner was PERFECT! Pleasantly surprised!“

“Delish! Go early; it's a must try!“

“The Jolly Jug is one of those iconic places that can never be duplicated. The original Jolly Jug was in South El Monte in the 1930s and people came from all around to eat their famous Pastrami’s and Beef Dip sandwiches. Going into another century of their delicious food and cold beer, you can’t go wrong by making a pit stop here. In a world of hip restaurants trying to reinvent LA cuisine, the Jug is comfort food, done right. ❤️“

“Awesome breakfast, great service! Will definitely be back to this great Cafe!“

“My wife and I have been coming to Ed's when it was called Chloe's. Ed's has the best breakfast hands down. I get the Heartland and it's over the top. Lately we've been coming for lunch and His soups are over the top, I especially love his Red Lentil soup. Fantastic, great cafe!“

“This place and never went in until a couple days ago and I got the rancheros sunny side up. The flavors were really good. I thought it was a little bit too white sauce the tortillas all the flavor was delicious. The staff was exceptionally attentive and I was just taking out. They gave me a lot of attention, which is pretty nice. Don’t see that anymore. We got a cup of coffee, which is really good and took it home far away for breakfastmaybe share with your friends.“

“I love this place. our server, I forget her name - thats her at the counter, is the best.“

“Aloha Stacks is a popular Hawaiian-style breakfast and brunch spot known for its large pancakes and spam masubi. It's a family-owned chain located in a tiny plaza at 10300 Lower Azusa Rd in El Monte.

We came very early morning to grab some breakfast. Customers will
need to order on the counter before seating down. Dinning area is neat, spacious with a relaxing atmosphere. We ordered drip coffee, OJ, Avocado omelette and Blueberry Pancakes. Coffee was mediocre in taste except for the fresh juice. Foods were great and tasty. Service was spot on. Staff were assiduous and professional. Prices are competitive. Parking was easy. Overall, I enjoyed an early breakfast.“

“Great wait staff. Plenty of parking extensive menu“

“Fresh Baguettes, Fresh Bánh mì, Fresh Pho! Wow! One Stop Shop. Discovered an amazing place having all dishes, Vietnamese coffee, desserts, and fresh baguettes like Vietnam. The Vietnamese flavors are spot and authentic! And, great place and vibes for socializing with friends either indoors or on the outdoor patio area. Return we will. To the Proprietor: Cảm ơn!“

“We’ve been coming to this IHOP for a long time, and it never disappoints. The restaurant isn’t very big, but that’s exactly what makes it feel so warm and welcoming. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and makes us feel genuinely cared for. Every visit feels like coming home. The food is consistently good, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. We’re so grateful to have such a wonderful neighborhood IHOP. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“This place is such a hole in the wall, would honestly come back. This place been around for a while but I never know this place exist because it’s so hidden.The service is a bit slow when prepping the food, but their tacos are to die for. I would come back any day for tacos!Parking lot is shared with other shops but not too busy! The menu is consistent and so is their food!Would come back again! Don’t let the small shop and sketchy look deceive you!“

“Food was good and service was friendly. Bacon was crispy but not fresh. You can tell that it's pretty cooked hours or the day before. It's the only thing that's barely warm and dry. Makes a difference. For a $20 breakfast it should be fresh.“

“Very pleasant staffs and the food was great and delicious at a very reasonable prices. I'm so impressed by the way they greeted you and make you very comfortable. They pay so much attentions to their patrons regardless of your ethnicity.“

“me & my husband plan to eat at Norms unfortunately they were temporarily closed ,so we decided to go penny restaurant. I’m so glad we try their breakfast today , portions good enough for my tummy ,I ordered the French toast and eggs it was crispy around the edges it was so good n yummy and my husband ordered the pancakes and wedges potatoes, the pancakes so fluffy big n soft, I also like the way they cooked the potatoes it felt like home made type n different then harsh brown , inside so clean service good n cozy atmosphere felt like I’m out of town!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bad Ass Breakfast Burritos absolutely lives up to the name… bold flavors, massive portions, and seriously satisfying. The burritos are packed, fresh, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Every bite is hearty and filling, and the flavors hit hard in the best way.

The only small complaint I have… I wish it was mixed a little better. About half the burrito was mostly egg, while the other half had all the flavor and fillings. Once you hit that side though, it’s 🔥.

Great food, great vibes, and still 100 percent worth it. One small tweak and it would be perfect. Highly recommend. 🌯🔥“

“I have ate here twice. First time was dine in. The server Angel was horrible. The first thing we ordered of course were drinks. I ordered a water with lemon and it came after the meal. The pancakes were ice cold and the plates were the exact same size as the pancakes. My husbands order was wrong. He ordered toast as a side and hit potatoes. Then tonight we got good delivered and it was also horrible. The eggs were rubbery and my husband was supposed to get tres leches pancakes and he got regular pancakes. I was supposed to get salsa and sour cream with my tacos and didn’t get it. There was no cheese sauce on my tacos either.“

“Our IHOP is very clean and the service was excellent. Nice sized portions and polite waitress. Certainly will go back again.“

“4/21 Came this morning , just wanting to commend the servers they were extremely kind and attentive. They looked so busy but it didn’t take away from the customer service they gave. I want to say our servers name was Mari and another gal. The food was good too and we didn’t wait too long either.“

“The food was excellent! I ordered the breakfast burrito and asked for the chipotle crema on the side—it was absolutely delicious. The burrito was huge and very filling. My husband ordered the eggs and bacon with pancakes, and everything tasted great.

The coffee was strong, fresh, and delicious. Our total bill was under $40, which was a great value for the quality and portion sizes.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was very clean. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Thank you!“

“Foo, listen. When the lady taking your order has bread flour on her shirt you know it is going to be fresh.

My family loved the breakfast. House crepe comes with preserved tofu sauce. Crepe was kinda like roti. Everything handmade. Fair prices EOY 2025. 4 adult 1 kid ~60 bucks.

Wish the menu had photos for us ABCs, but you can see better pics on Yelp.“

“I visited this place with my friends for the first time and ordered from the Value Menu; the food was quite decent for the price. I also liked the variety of pancake syrups available. The pancakes themselves were just slightly smaller than those at Denny's, but I was still satisfied.“

“Friendly staff, delicious food ❗️❗️“

“Really delicious when chef is on it. Long-time customer since they opened in San Gabriel. Unfortunately inconsistent quality, understaffing make this place hit-or-miss. I rarely eat in due to understaffing - bussing & cleaning take a while. 85-90% of the time pretty good TW deli food. I go there every 1-2 months.

I esp like their sticky rice rolls fantuan, sticky rice wrapped in bamboo zongzi, turnip cakes luobogao, onion pancakes congyoubing, black sesame pastry, green onion pastry xiekehuang. Their garlic soy sauce is delish!“
