22 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Los Altos

“OPH is one of my favorite breakfast chains, but this location isn't like the others. The usually light, fluffy pancakes were heavier and the bacon wasn't the thick-cut awesomeness found across other OPH locations. The building was also an anomaly among other OPH locations I've been to, lacking some polish and charm. Service was attentive, so points there.

As a breakfast place, not terrible. But as an OPH, I expected more consistency with the brand standard.“

“This is one of my favorite places for breakfast and brunch. I've been a regular for years, and the service and food have consistently been good. They recently added a few Mexican dishes to their menu, such as chilaquiles, which are a solid choice. Their benedicts, smoothies and bagels are also really good.

However, their pancakes are THE BEST! No matter what I order, I always have to try them. They are simply delicious with a very particular flavor.“

“This place is very affordable and the food is delicious. We always like to come here with our friends and sometimes we have to be quick otherwise all tables are full! What I would improve, and I've been thinking about this every time I come here, is definitely the ACOUSTICS! Every time the sound is very lous and you can barely hear the next person talking! Especially when it's full. I would recommend some wall acoustic panels for the TV wall. There are nowadays very modern and affordable solutions for acoustic paneling.“

“Hobee's in Sunnyvale is an absolute breakfast and brunch institution, and for good reason! If you're looking for a reliably delicious, hearty, and friendly start to your day, this is the place to be.

The atmosphere at Hobee's is always warm, bustling, and inviting. It has that classic, comfortable diner feel, perfect for families, friends, or even a solo meal with a good book. The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, always making sure your coffee cup is full and that you're well taken care of, even during their busiest hours.

Now, onto the food – it's simply fantastic. Their blueberry coffee cake is legendary and a must-try with any meal; it's moist, sweet, and utterly delightful. Their omelets are fluffy and generously filled, and their pancakes and French toast are perfectly golden and delicious. I'm also a big fan of their scrambles, which are packed with fresh ingredients and flavor. They have a great variety of classic breakfast items, along with some unique twists that keep you coming back for more.

What I love most about Hobee's is the consistent quality and the generous portions. You always leave feeling satisfied and happy. It's a true community staple that delivers on comfort food with a smile.

If you're in Sunnyvale and craving a top-notch breakfast or brunch experience, make sure to visit Hobee's. You'll quickly understand why it's such a beloved spot!“

“The workers are very nice and easy to order. The breakfast sandwiches are so good!! The tuna and the signature sandwiches are delicious! They're toasted perfectly. We also got the corn chowder and it was light but refreshing.

I had to go back and get a to go sandwich with ham. The bread is so light and eating them was addicting. Will be coming back as a regular for sure“

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!“

“Great Korean food! I like that I can build my own binimbap with salad. I also requested French fries with cheese and homemade kimchi since I liked it when I tried from a food truck before. Sooooooo good! Not on the menu, but worth asking for.“

“Wow, this place is a gem! Operated by Sandy, a sweet Korean woman, who makes her own kimchee. Each burrito (I had the breakfast burrito with pork and kimchee) is hand made on a skillet. All the products are cooked. This is fantastic home cooking and super affordably priced. (Note: Cookies are not made at home)“

“Joanie’s is a staple on California Ave, having been around for more than two decades. After many years, I decided to revisit the place recently.

Some things have changed but the place has mostly stayed the same as I remember it. With good service, decent food options, and lovely atmosphere, Joanie’s is a solid choice.

In the past, service has been a mixed bag. When we went recently it was mostly solid. There were quite a few instances where it took a lot of effort on our part to get a hold of a waiter but when we did, they were friendly, efficient, and got the job done.

The atmosphere, just like most of California Avenue, is more laid back, quiet, and communal. The lovely dining options outside, coupled with the beautiful weather, made the meal more pleasant.

The food itself is solid but nothing exceptional or mind blowing. While many restaurants have evolved over the years, it seems like Joanie’s in many ways is stuck in the past. While their French toast was yummy, their potato options (both the hash brown and potatoes) were just ok and a bit flavorless. The eggs were cooked exactly as requested but the beef hash left a bit to be desired. It seems like while others are innovating, here time has stopped.

Overall, Joanie’s is a classic that’s sticking to their roots while many places are evolving to better serve their customers. What may have been ok 20 years ago doesn’t necessarily make it good enough in today’s competitive landscape. The most I can rate Joanie’s Cafe is 4 stars.“

“Best coffee in San Carlos... by a considerable distance.“

“I want to thank George the owner for introducing me to his mother Meropes secret recipe desert. Truly Inunderstand why she was named after one of the Pleiades this desert is Ambrosia to the gods. Everything about it is just right and even big enough to share but why would you want to even do that? The variety of choices of food from Greek to American and I was amazed by so Many vegetarian choices. The difference between this version of Bill of fare as opposed to the other owners is the size of the restaurant as well as no one rushing you to leave! No Matter what restaurant you go to due to popularity of it, parking will always be problematic but its location provides plenty of street parking! Again, bring the family, bring friends and meet your friends at Ana mazing restaurant!“

“very great service, one of the best I had, will repeat“

“kids love to eat crepes and there are delicious there“

“Love this place - old school donut shop. The breakfast sandwich (croissant, egg, cheese, and ham) was maybe the best I've ever had. Definitely top 3 over the last 30 years.

Coffee is good too - that seems like a weird thing to write, but coffee quality at a lot of places seems to have degraded over the last couple decades(?).“

“So, TikTok came through once again. This place was really good and hit the spot. The chicken fried steak was fire with that in house country gravy. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. Big portions and friendly staff. Very attentive and affordable. Highly recommend this place.“

“Had to wait for a table, service was fast, and food was delicious and so many good things to choose from in their menu. Loved the breeze board and country fried steak.“

“The place feels so nostalgic. This place is a diner and a cafe mixed into one. There are a lot of pictures and the drinks are great. Remind me of a western 1980s bar.

I ordered the ice mocha and it was delicious. The people here speak Spanish. Lovely bunch of people!“

“Food - great but little pricey for the qty received. For example - 2 mid size pancakes are for around 15$ , I would suggest it should be around 10 to 11$. Although maple syrup is on the table, they charge additional $, so not sure what's the difference between the one on table vs what they get from inside.

No shakes, only smoothies“

“the banana pancakes were delicious and hit the spot .“

“Embaixo do hotel mais charmoso de Palo Alto, a França se apresenta em versão californiana. Um lugar bem maneiro, bem legal. E ainda toca Bossa Nova. O que pode ser melhor?“

“Every time I walk into IHOP, I know I’m in for a satisfying meal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you’re greeted at the door to the moment you leave, the staff make you feel right at home. The servers are friendly, attentive, and never let your coffee cup go empty!“

“Natalia, the person who served us was accommodating and helpful. She gave us authentic service.

Parking: Considering that we came on a Friday afternoon, parking was still available.

Kid-friendliness: There is food for kids.“
