Brunch Restaurants near La Verne, CA

“food and service are excellent“

“one of those low-key neighborhood spots that quietly becomes your “how did I not know about this?” place. I came in for breakfast and left thinking, “Okay… so we’re coming back for lunch too.”

First off: the vibe is classic, cozy, and unpretentious—clean tables, a steady hum of regulars, and staff who greet you like you’ve been eating here for years (in the best way). Service was quick without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want when coffee is still doing its job.

Food-wise, everything felt made-to-order and generously portioned. The breakfast plate in the photo—eggs smothered in a bright, chunky salsa with beans and melted cheese—hits that perfect comfort-food zone: warm, savory, and surprisingly balanced. The salsa has real tomato-and-chile character (not that watery “red sauce” situation), and the beans are creamy enough to scoop up with every bite. Add the dollop of sour cream and it’s basically breakfast therapy.

Then there’s the breakfast sandwich + hash browns combo. The bun is soft, the egg is fluffy, the bacon brings the salt-and-smoke, and the cheese does what cheese is supposed to do: glue happiness together. The hash browns are the kind you keep “sampling” until you realize you accidentally ate half the plate.

And because it’s Molly’s Souper, you can’t not try soup—even at breakfast. The lighter broth soup (with carrot and veggies) is clean and comforting, and the creamy one in the little cup is rich without being heavy—perfect “I want something cozy but I still have a day to live” energy.

Overall: hearty breakfast, genuinely friendly service, and that rare feeling you get when a place is consistent and cares. If you’re in Upland and want a solid, satisfying meal that doesn’t try too hard, Molly’s Souper is an easy yes.“

“Went there for breakfast on Saturday early (8:30) to beat the rush. Only waited 20 minutes. Had belly to belly, creme brulee french toast. avocado toast, and two orders of the berry cloud pancakes. For drinks we had classic coffee, Pandan latte, Spanish latte, and Cookie? latte. Both drinks and food were great. Only complaint is that we order the 2nd pancake a few minutes late and it didn't arrive till most of us were finished. Be warned .. get your orders in for the cloud pancakes early. It will take 20-30 minutes to arrive.“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“New place with lots of interesting “toasts.” It’s boisterous and friendly. Perfect place to grab breakfast or lunch to go. There is some seating and it’s very casual. Food served in to-go containers.“

“Lovely place with delicious food. We stopped for breakfast and had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Caramelized Plantains, and Brioche French Toast with Fruit, plus generous cups of coffee and hot chocolate. There were all amazing! Water pitchers infused with fruit are part of the service and real flowers adorn each table. The place was quiet at first and then Cuban music was played at a volume that still made conversations easy to hear. I highly recommend this place.“
