25 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.“

“I stopped by this Turkish café for what was supposed to be just a quick coffee, but once I saw they also served dinner, I decided to stay and eat.

I started with a traditional Turkish coffee and a slice of Revani, their classic semolina cake. The coffee came in the usual small cup, strong and bold, brewed in true Mediterranean style — simple and excellent. The Revani was moist and soaked in sugar syrup, topped with crushed pistachios. Sweet but not overpowering, it had a delicate aroma and almost reminded me of an Indian-style syrupy dessert. The portion was generous, so I ended up finishing it in two rounds.

For dinner, I ordered a Turkish flatbread topped with what tasted like a sliced beef sausage, cheese - somewhat pizza-like in appearance, but distinctly different in flavor and texture. It was filling and satisfying, though a bit greasy, especially underneath, likely from the cheese and meat. Thankfully, it was served with a fresh side salad of lettuce, tomato, and lemon, which added brightness and balance to the meal.

They have a wide variety of Turkish and Mediterranean pastries and desserts, and I’d definitely return to explore more - maybe even try a proper Turkish breakfast next time.

The café has a large dining room, and when I visited, part of it seemed pre-booked for Ramadan gatherings with set meals. I sat in a side corner and enjoyed my food. Service was a bit slow, I had to ask a few times for basic things like a fork and napkins, but overall, the vibe was warm and lively.

Food-wise, I really enjoyed it, and I’m definitely going back for more. Highly recommended if you enjoy exploring different cuisines and Mediterranean flavors.“

“Hobee’s is a solid spot for American breakfast. It has that trusted, old-school diner feel with simple, home-cooked food. Nothing fancy, just comforting breakfast dishes done well. A nice place if you’re looking for a classic breakfast with a cozy vibe.“

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!“

“I stopped by Cafe Mei in Fremont for a quick breakfast and tried their Signature Pork Sung Sandwich. Wow, what a treat! The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with a flavorful pork patty, fresh cucumber, and that sweet mayo that ties it all together. It felt like a true taste of Taiwan, just like the reviews mentioned. The staff was super friendly, and the vibe was cozy yet trendy. Only wish they had longer hours for us late risers! Highly recommend for anyone craving an authentic Taiwanese breakfast sandwich.“

“Excellent service, friendly staff, terrific food! Everything hot and fresh! Visiting from Michigan. Nolan was excellent server!! We will visit again when in the area. Steve & Ginny“

“We love our Sunday breakfasts at Joanie's Cafe. A cup of wonderful Guatemalan coffee is brought to us as soon as we sit down. Coffee refills are ongoing throughout our breakfast. Eggs Benedict and the fresh fruit are our food favorite items. The wait staff is exceptional. -Long time employees who add to our enjoyment of our breakfast. \nLovely outdoor seating next to festive Sunday Farmers' Market.“

“City Hall Cafe in Palo Alto is a hidden gem. Service is warm, fast, and genuinely welcoming. The breakfast is consistently excellent, with fresh ingredients and comforting flavors. Owner Sandy’s homemade touch shines in every dish, making mornings feel personal, relaxed, and always worth returning for again.“

“4.6.
Still my favorite breakfast spot in San Jose every time I visit. Delicious food every time. Barbara was very sweet and attentive. The sweet potato Benedict with carnitas was very creative, the hash browns have a nice crispy exterior. I leave full and happy every time“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Apparently there is an egg dish I never knew I needed in my life: Turkish Eggs, poached and served over herb flavored yogurt with spicy oil. The poached eggs were the perfect texture, the yogurt was delicious, although the spicy oil drizzle could have been more spicy. It’s a nice light breakfast dish that I would love to experiment with. The menu here is quite varied, the latte we ordered was pretty good too. We sat outside in the sun on a crisp winter morning, it’s a joy. Will be back to try other things.“

“We’ve come here before and it’s been great with great hospitality along with accommodation for outdoor seating with our dog, which is highly appreciated. Today was a bit different, we arrived at 1:35pm, and the heavier set gentleman with glasses was not very hospitable, as soon as I walked in he firmly and unhospitable manner told me the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. Luckily our waiter was another nice gentleman who helped us, and we already knew what we wanted so we ordered right away to accommodate / be conscious to the kitchen but could’ve given that message across in a much nicer manner. We were appreciative to our waiter who helped set us up outdoors. The 3 stars for service was simply for that other person with glasses who had a bad mood and shouldn’t be in customer service.“

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

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“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.“

“Best tamales anywhere , don’t know where these two people rating 1 start are buying from . (Haters) the tamales are so delicious. If they wouldn’t be, she will spend all day selling and I can Guarantee you if you stop around noon she is gone. Give it a try , like it …you will be back if not move on. But don’t be hater.“

“I come here very often! I really like the egg sandwiches, bagels, and club sandwiches. The donuts are very average, I have not had a fresh one from here before or one that really impressed me. Their coffee is also very simple so don't expect anything fancy there. The staff are very quick and usually friendly although there are some I feel I have irritated just by picking up my order. I am a very self concious person though so maybe I'm imagining things. I am really glad this place exists. I love that they have their own online ordering system that they manage in house! Let's go independence from big corporations!! I'm also excited to see that they're expanding next door and getting a drive thru later this year. Overall, highly recommend.“

“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?“

“Great food served quickly. Bacon Avocado onelette is my go-to and it never disappoints. Order a cup of coffee, and you get a full carafe on the side for your dining pleasure. Shredded hash browns with onions are fantastic. I recommend any time you need a nice breakfast or lunch!“

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

“Went there with our one and a half year-old grandchild on a Saturday, we were thrilled to see that there was no wait at noon. The food was exactly what we expect from IHOP as was the service, they were especially fast because they recognized that our grandchild was likely to have very little patience.“

“My husband and I have been to this IHOP several times now, and every visit has great — largely because of our wonderful server, Mayra. She was warm and attentive. She checked in at the right moments The breakfast was great, but the hospitality is what keeps us coming back. Thank you, Mayra, for making our mornings feel special. IHOP is lucky to have you“
