50 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Los Angeles

“biscuits “sent from heaven” Keyshia Cole voice Stopped by John O’Groats for some pre archery lesson fuel. Off rip, I knew it was gonna be bomb because my boyfriend actually has great taste and recommended it. I mean why would I date him otherwise? But I still had to be the one to taste it to believe it. Those biscuits put them on the MAP! I had lost faith in biscuits & gravy in this city. I have been let down time and time again because it was so weak. But these gave me hope for the future 🥹 I could see this place being my breakfast new normal. So if you ever want to stop by there, hit me up beforehand and we can brunch together🫶🏼🍽️ this is the type of place I would have FOMO over“

“Definitely one of the great places to have your breakfast. Recommend 🤩
The pancakes was delicious
The croque madame was good (forget to take pic was hungry🤣) but it’s heavy meal.
The avocado toast was great too.“

“The food was amazing. Had the salmon croquets and pancakes. Everything was fresh hot and delicious! 😋“

“Great experience, great food.“

“Call ahead! The wait at the sandwich section can - at times - be a bit slow & tedious and can cost you half your lunch hour. Plus I don't love the fact that their default channel is "Fix News". Still, the salad bar is fabulous. Also, Maggie and Ruby absolutely rock! :-)“

“Love this place.

Food: I personally love the Bolt Bowl. I think it’s the perfect meal.

Coffee: Solid. Fast.

Service: On this occasion, I was helped by Avery & Dax. They were professional, engaging and fun too.“

“Good basic service, good food, and walking distance from our motel. They were busy, and that's also good to see. They were recommended by a fellow guest our motel and we were pleased. One of our party sampled the chilli and pronounced it good. The others had various burgers, all of which satisfied.“

“Brunch here is always a treat. I had the egg benedict, which was perfectly cooked, and their potato wedges are a must-try. The atmosphere is casual but lively, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The place tends to get busy on weekends, but it’s worth the wait.“

“Our Elite Tabletop Family cannot say enough great things about Cafe 50’s! From the way we were GREETED, TREATED, & SERVED, to the way they’ve continued to treat our daughter like FAMILY since she’s arrived in Santa Monica. They’ve been nothing less than spectacular and are the epitome of what a True, neighborhood nostalgic 50’s diner encompasses. No other establishment has ever provided fun toys & items of entertainment while waiting for our food. We thank Benjamin for that! Victor the GM checked on our table and made sure Kim our waitress was taking care of us! Kim was a fantastic server and we never once waited for a refill on anything. The staff @ Cafe 50’s take pride in their customer service & establishment and they deserve all the recognition! You have our family’s support for life Cafe 50’s! We would ❤️ to support you, supporting the local community!“

“My favorite gem in LA. Every time I’m sick, my boyfriend gets me matzah ball soup, and it really is magical Jewish penicillin. It always makes me feel better. I dream about the chocolate rugelach. Delicious baked goods. Amazing service, Canter’s family-owned and they really do everything with love!“

“👌great food, friendly service.“

“👍Delicious Food .. Good 4Brunch 💃🎉“

“Enjoyed sitting outdoors with my daughter and two granddaughters after their Kaiser appointments. I had a very tasty Turkey Club sandwich with waffle fries, while my daughter enjoyed a great omelette and her kids had mini-Belgian waffles with sprinkles. Just Perfect!!“

“Amazing customer service and excellent food!! I will definitely be back!“

“I brought a Denver Omlette to work. They're all jealous of me. It's packed with veggies and ham. It comes with a heaping serving of hash browns and toast. Yum!“

“Kitchen Mouse is one of those rare spots that feels like it’s smiling at you the moment you walk in. The soft green and pink décor, the whimsical touches, and the cozy kids’ area all make it feel like stepping into a storybook. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made , from their baked goods to their fresh breakfast items, lunch and tasty early dinner offerings , everything tastes like care.

The staff ,Owen, Clara, Dominic and the whole team , are as warm and sweet as the kitchen itself. They make you feel seen and welcome in that effortless way that can’t be faked.

If you’re anywhere near Highland Park, treat yourself to their happy hour from 4 to 6, or stop in any time for something fresh made with love and delicious. Kitchen Mouse is a place that reminds you that food can be both joyful and nourishing , for the body and the heart 🥰

“Delicious food and wonderful staff“

“Amazing customer service and excellent food!! I will definitely be back!“

“100% recomendado los mejores de LA“

“Recomendado 100% La Comida Excelente, El Trato Excelente muy buen Servicio“

“A calm and relaxing atmosphere for a nice sunny day. I would recommend the French Toast Special it has a nice touch with the blueberries, strawberries, and bananas. The Platter is also a very good choice with great portions. Although on one note, I do think the beverages like fountain drinks & orange juice have an above normal price of $4 each for a Pepsi and the Orange Juice I ordered.“

“Great food and very friendly service. Didn't have to wait for our food. Highly recommend!“

“French toast so good and burritos.“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“Went here for breakfast recently and the food was good and the service was prompt. But what really impressed me was I used the restroom and the soap dispenser was empty. I informed the manager and he not only refilled the soap dispenser but brought over to the table a big bottle of hand sanitizer for my hands which was truly impressive. I consider that a true act of thoughtfulness. Thank you!“

“Love the Americana and nothing better than an egg on a sandwich“

“Amazing customer service and excellent food!! I will definitely be back!“

“IHOP is always a fun spot to take the kids when you’re ready for a sugar rush and stacks of fluffy pancakes. Honestly, I go there mostly because my kid wants to — and he loves it. For adults, the menu has plenty of solid breakfast and lunch options too. At this location I tried the egg white omelet, which was a healthy and tasty vegetarian pick.

It’s also worth noting that IHOP has been among the chains with the steepest menu price increases since 2020 (reportedly around +80%). Even so, the quality-to-price ratio stays fair, making it a reliable choice when you just need a casual meal that keeps everyone happy.“

“Whenever we are even close to Downtown LA and staying in a hotel for a night or more, we have IHop delivered. It is just the best.

We have eaten at this one more than once and it is clean, the service just great and the whole place is very comfortable. The servers are always nice.

This time we had it delivered and it was, as always so good. They pack it all in such a way there is no way it can get ruined or food mixed with other food. The delivery is fast and I have never had an issue, not once.

This time we had burgers, which were so good with bacon and cheese. My grandson had a grilled cheese sandwich with French fries and he loved it. I am the huge pancake lover in the family so I had their big breakfast that comes with the best, most fluffy and perfect pancakes along with hash browns and bacon, ham and sausage. It was all great and I saved the meat for our dogs who were waiting for us to get home (we were at a hotel nearby).

It is just the best and the prices are so fair. You will pay much more for some fancy place, but their pancakes won't be as good.

We love it. We are addicted.“

“I'll let you into a little secret: this is where all the locals eat. Black, white, brown, Asian. English, Spanish, Patwa, Korean. Everybody loves Honeybees and if you eat here youll know why. Classic American dishes with a hint of Salvadorian flavor. I grew up in pico union so this place feels like home. They used to even put the hot chocolate in these beautiful mugs with a little bee on it but over time people broke them sadly. As I said, this is the hole-in-the-wall experience you're looking. Afterwards, a quick walk and you'll find a record store, independent fashion boutiques, and much more. Easily some of the best breakfast you can have on Adams maybe even all of LA.“

“We wanted breakfast food and ordered the salmon bagel sandwich and breakfast burrito. Both were delicious and wait staff were very helpful and quick. The restaurant itself is a bit sparse but was comfortable to eat in.

Dietary restrictions: They had vegan options and substitute milk“

“I Googled good affordable breakfast sandwich near me and found this great little Mom & Pop place. In a sea of overpriced & underwhelming food, it's nice to see good food for a good price. I got a simple, but yummy breakfast sandwich, and spent under $8.00. Busy & friendly place. It's located in the courtyard of an office building, where you enter from the alley. Will be back on my next airport run!“

“Thank you for the safety packaging for delivery. Great tasting shrimp tacos, french toast was thick and tasty and the bacon was nicely crisp but there was an after taste of old grease from possibly another item that was cooked it....same for the scrambled eggs :0(“

“We ordered the croissantwich w/ avocado and the breakfast burriot w/ chorizo, both were 10/10, the burrito was one of the best in LA imo. Food came out quick and Adam was super friendly, great lowkey spot. Dont forget to get the salsa verde“

“Great service on top of great food“

“From out of town. Nice surprise breakfast spot.“

“I go there for late night breakfast and it's always cool cause you can get a burger too 😊👍“

“Stopped by Egg Tuck while in LA and was seriously impressed. The food is so good - fresh, flavorful, and just the right balance of comfort and quality.
I had AvoEgg and it had everything I hoped for
- soft, fluffy eggs, perfectly cooked, with that buttery brioche bun! The service was great too — friendly staff, fast and efficient even with a line.
Definitely a spot I'll come back- Highly recommend if you're craving a solid breakfast sandwich. 5 stars all the way :)“

“Had to go to the Italian consulate and when we came out, we were starving. Decided to try Blu Jam Cafe right down the block and we were so impressed! Absolutely excellent salads, we had the SW salad and the spinach salad. Both were done to perfection, every bite was delicious! Wish they were in South OC!“

“Me encantan sus chilaquiles y muy buenas porciones a precios accesibles“

“Great place, I have been coming here for years during lunch. Everybody is super nice and I am very happy with the good food! Last week I stopped by on Wednesday and also the next day Thursday. To my surprise the place was closed down, no signs nothing, that was a big bummer. Wednesday was still open, and I am sad they are not there any longer.“

“The cafeteria is a standard food hall with lots of seating and tables.

The main reason I go here is because of their Cali Cob salad is phenomenal. As a person that has tried lots of high end salads at other establishments, this salad is one of the best cobs I’ve ever had.

Almost as great as Joey’s in DTLA. The vegetables are very fresh, the dressing is excellent. I love that it has a lot of chicken pieces that are delicious and egg along with bacon pieces. It’s a solid salad for the price and one of my favorite salads of all time. I highly recommend it.

I will definitely come back to eat that salad & I’ll continue to try their other menu items.“

“My son is in love with your minestrone soup.. Your pizza..and your tiramisu!!“

“Call ahead! The wait at the sandwich section can - at times - be a bit slow & tedious and can cost you half your lunch hour. Plus I don't love the fact that their default channel is "Fix News". Still, the salad bar is fabulous. Also, Maggie and Ruby absolutely rock! :-)“

“We had breakfast, ordered off the Western menu and the eggs bene was excellent. Then we went for dinner the same night, I had the grilled mackerel and soup dinner, great presentation, tons of banchan selection, and super tasty. Restaurant is on the 2nd floor, and the service was excellent.“

“If you're looking for a good spot to eat close to the DTLA court houses, check out the Galero Grill in the Cathedral complex. A five minute walk from the court houses with good food at reasonable prices. Plus, there's a lovely patio with tables to enjoy your meal in peace (other than the Cathedral chimes on the hour). It's run by the Patina group so, although the food isn't fancy, the quality is very good.“

“Social has very good quality food. There's options for everyone. Price point is quite high, as to be anticipated by hotel restaurants. My only complaint: We have been attending a convention at the LAX Marriott for 8 years now and one would hope that the leadership at the hotel would be well aware than their restaurants will be significantly impacted when there's now 3000+ people there for the weekend. The staff does their absolute best but at the end of the day, there aren't enough of them and the kitchen staff clearly struggles to get the meals plated up in a reasonable amount of time. So if you plan on eating at Social, plan on allowing more time than you think you need and for heaven sake be patient with your restaurant staff. They are doing their best.“
