45 Best Breakfast Restaurants near San Gabriel

“Really delicious when chef is on it. Long-time customer since they opened in San Gabriel. Unfortunately inconsistent quality, understaffing make this place hit-or-miss. I rarely eat in due to understaffing - bussing & cleaning take a while. 85-90% of the time pretty good TW deli food. I go there every 1-2 months.

I esp like their sticky rice rolls fantuan, sticky rice wrapped in bamboo zongzi, turnip cakes luobogao, onion pancakes congyoubing, black sesame pastry, green onion pastry xiekehuang. Their garlic soy sauce is delish!“

“By far the best breakfast burrito in the Crescenta Valley and honestly quite a few regions beyond CV. The chipotle & spicy green salsa MAKE it, they're so good.
I got my burrito with veggies and chorizo. Tasted fresh, nourishing, easy to eat, not dry. Zero weird oily or grill aftertaste like a lot of restaurants leave in.
Honestly these would be great road trip burritos for the car. They hold up.

Service was great. Ambiance is nice especially considering how nice the area is for a stroll.

I'll be back.“

“Great experience, great food.“

“Cozy restaurant full of character, good vibes and yummy food near a babbling creek in a mostly hidden canyon - what’s not to love ?❤️“

“Busy when we went on a Sunday—there was a line going out the door to order at the counter. Vegan options include choosing tofu scramble or JUST Egg. Service was friendly and they gave us complimentary cornbread mini muffins. Nice sunny cafe space. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-20“

“Delish! Go early; it's a must try!“

“Returned here this June for a birthday breakfast with a relative, the four of us had breakfast at a cost of $116 by the time I was out the door. Old white guys kind of place. Good service, mediocre food.
If you like old school diners, you'll love this small place. Been there for years. You can get refried beans and chips for your breakfast.“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kitchen Mouse Bakery is a true delight! Adorable inside, it has the kindest employees and offers all manner of delicious vegan treats. Their breakfast sandwich is an addiction along with their s’mores brownie. Everything I’ve had has been delicious and it’s a great spot to stop and fill up a box of treats to bring to a party or event. So grateful to have them in my neighborhood!“

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

“Get your ex lover back today“

“Ricky was a great server and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. He was attentive, friendly, and always there whenever we needed assistance. The food was amazing, and everything exceeded our expectations. We left completely satisfied with both the service and the dining experience. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to others!“

“Came here getting baguettes before leaving out of town, got here at 6am and the bread is definitely hot. I always come here in the morning and grab there baguettes because their baguettes won’t get harden through the days.
Service here is very good absolutely attentive, nice and friendly.
Atmosphere they have outside sitting and inside eating as well, you can come as a group sit and eat.“

“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“

“It was my first time dining at this location while I waited for my car tires to get serviced across the street. The restaurant was relatively busy for a weekday early morning. My waitress Yaneli served as hostess at the 8am hour and greeted me as soon as I walked in. She took my order which came out quickly from the kitchen piping hot, brought over condiments and checked on me several times to make sure I was OK and refill my OJ even though she was a one-woman show in a packed section of the restaurant. She made a hectic morning of errands turn around with a refreshing and cheerful vibe. Would definitely come back!“

“Very pleasant staffs and the food was great and delicious at a very reasonable prices. I'm so impressed by the way they greeted you and make you very comfortable. They pay so much attentions to their patrons regardless of your ethnicity.“

“This was our second time here. The young woman host didn’t smile, nor responded to my greeting, “good morning” but our server was very friendly and that created a great atmosphere. We weren’t rushed to order. The food was good. They don’t have Tapatio chili sauce, but they have “chiles toreados.”“

“Food was good and service was friendly. Bacon was crispy but not fresh. You can tell that it's pretty cooked hours or the day before. It's the only thing that's barely warm and dry. Makes a difference. For a $20 breakfast it should be fresh.“

“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!“

“Went to have my favorite pancakes and had the best service at this location. Yes, I know pancakes or pancakes, but it cannot top Ihop pancakes and especially the service. Nicole gave us. She’s super attentive, friendly and brought us everything we needed and constantly kept checking if we were OK. Best service I’ve ever gotten at a restaurant. Thanks to Nicole.“

“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❤️“

“muy ricos los desayunos se los recomiendo ☕️🥞“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Our waitress Susana was very attentive and engaged with my group. She was very easy going and checked up every now and then. She gave me a pin to celebrate my graduation that happened yesterday. Overall, very pleasant and a great dining experience :)“

“I live closer to the Rosemead location but would rather drive an extra 15 min and come here because service here is soooo much better. 🫠
Bryce and her crew did a really good job taking care of us definitely my favorite Ihop location. 😊“

“Good food, good service and reasonable price 🥰“

“I came in my local ihop to eat some food today, and I saw that it was empty! I was surprised by how sanitary the bathroom was! The food was amazing and there were multiple choices of syrup including butter pecan, blueberry, strawberry, and good ol' fashioned maple syrup. They were all good except for blueberry syrup which was mid. My server, Lupita, was awesome! She was really kind to me and my Gigi :) I got chicken and waffles with strawberry syrup!“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful experience today (8/9/26) at The Terrace! Our server was Maria and I let her know right away about my gluten allergy. She had several menu suggestions for me and was very understanding and helpful helping me navigate the menu. It’s always a big gamble going out to eat with food restrictions, but Maria was knowledgeable and help put me at ease. The food was not only celiac safe (I tested in on my Nima sensor) but delicious. Will definitely be visiting again. Thanks, Maria!“

“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.“

“The food was great, great little place“

“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… ;)“
