42 Best Breakfast Restaurants near San Marino

“My husband and I have been going to Mari Vees a few times in the past few months after our trip to Huntington Library. It's a cute little place. Victor, the manager, and his staff are friendly, very attentive, and always pleasant. My husband had a few different breakfast dishes which he liked them all. I love their chicken tortillas soup. We look forward to going there again soon.“

“Came in hoping for brunch after a hardcore hiking and learned that breakfast wraps up at 11:45am — worth knowing. No regrets though, because I got the smash burger combo instead and it was excellent. Everything tasted freshly made, the drink came free, and the service was genuinely lovely. Only one thing bothers me was the heat… I’ll be back, and next time I’ll turn up before 11:45am.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic experience at Aloha Stacks! The Hawaiian-inspired food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Loco Moco and Ube Coconut Pancakes were especially delicious, and everything had a satisfying homemade feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the relaxed atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. A great spot in El Monte for a hearty breakfast or Hawaiian-style comfort food—definitely worth coming back!“

“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. ❤️“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Get your ex lover back today“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“muy ricos los desayunos se los recomiendo ☕️🥞“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food, good service and reasonable price 🥰“

“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. 😊“

“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 👍👍“

“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!“

“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 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“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“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… ;)“
