49 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Monterey Park

“I recently had an outstanding experience at the IHOP in Monterey Park! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and the service throughout my visit was amazing. The team was attentive, friendly, and made me feel truly welcome.

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was absolutely delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful, perfectly paired with the gooey melted cheese and freshly grilled onions. Each bite was a delight, and the portion size was generous as well.

The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was clean, comfortable, and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal. My entire experience here was nothing short of outstanding, and I highly recommend this IHOP location to anyone looking for a great meal and exceptional service.

Five stars all the way!“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“100% recomendado los mejores de LA“

“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.“

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

“Always excellent service and fast“

“Elvira was an amazing waitress and made us feel like we just stopped in at grandmas house. The food was great and the wait was not too long either. She was attentive the moment we sat in our chairs and constantly ensured that our coffee was full and all our needs were met! Thank you Elvira for the smiles, small talk, and making us feel at home. Your personable nature was truly a blessing!“

“I came in right as they were closing, but they were so kind and didn’t rush me while I made my last minute choice. The pine nut cookie was heavenly. Look forward to trying the rest of their offerings next time Updated from previous review on 2026-02-09“

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

“Had a great experience at IHOP tonight! The service was fast and friendly, and everything came out quickly. Our waitress, Angelica, was especially kind and made us feel really welcome. She even gave my little one a free ice cream, which absolutely made their night. It’s little gestures like that that make all the difference. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“I would like to recommend Veronica as the waitress of the day. She is an excellent waitress, very nice & thoughtful. My friend & I have gone the last 2 Wednesdays for lunch & she waited on us both times. Also the food was good too.“

“I’ve been cutting out refined sugar and it’s been difficult but I came across this place and I was able to have a wonderful chocolate shake with almond milk and cocoa, yes it had sugar but pure cane sugar. It was a great alternative and it taste so yummy! I was also able to add toppings, healthy toppings, strawberries, blueberries, etc. so good! Can’t wait to go back❤️“

“Brandon was great. Super chill, super friendly, and just made everything easy. Food came out fast, he checked in at the right times, and the whole vibe was just better because of him. If you end up at IHOP, hope you get Brandon — dude’s solid.“

“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!“

“pancakes, waffles, french toast!! Oh my!!“

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

“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.“

“Henry is an amazing server !!! All the times we’ve been to any ihop we’re always ignored and get our food pretty late. Henry went above and beyond to making us feel like family. He always attentive and kept asking if we needed anything or needed refills. We will for sure be coming back and request Henry !“

“Good food, good service and reasonable price 🥰“

“Anyone who's lived in Duarte forever, knows this place is a gem! I've been eating here with friends, family, even solo since 2010. This place has changed a lot, and seen some of my favorite staff members leave and grow, which is bittersweet. This location will always be my favorite, the quality is great, and they always seem to hire such caring and attentive staff. This location will always be my first choice, love ya'll : ).“

“Well being as my fault because we were late, but we ended up with buffet which was ok. The food was not as tasty, omelette station was too slow because I am assuming she was slow plus she was working alone. Our waiter was very attentive busboy was very helpful. Overall it was good. I need to come back for actual breakfast as a sit downs and ordering it then I might give it a five star.“

“My sister just Introduced me to Crepes & Grapes Cafe Great choice sister 👍👍“

“I had a small chicken teriyaki salad which was more than enough. It was absolutely delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My husband had the daily special of baked ham with veggies and said they were delish as well. We will definitely be returning.“

“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.“

“The food was great, great little place“

“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.“

“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.“

“For the life of me I don’t get why this place has such a low rating, so Imma do my part to push back against the haters.

First of all, the food: I love a breakfast burrito but also love a runny yolk, since you can get your eggs either sunny side or scrambled here, it’s literally the first place I’ve ever had both at the same time. I ordered the Bronco Burrito and it was perfectly cooked (yolk medium, white parts fully cooked) and well balanced w bits of chopped bacon, avocado, and pickled jalapeno mixed through, along with crispy, fluffy tots. I’d have liked a side of pico de gallo but the Cholula and spicy mayo were fine.

Seems like most of the bad reviews were for delivery so maybe there are issues there with consistency or the ordering platform, but honestly just go and check it out. I had no issues finding it either, but maybe that’s just a skill issue… ;)“
