50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Toluca Lake

“Make this your new breakfast spot when visiting LA. We found this spot online and absolutely loved it! The portions were more than enough and everything was delicious. We also loved that it was a short drive from our hotel. The staff was nice and explained the menu to us, since it was our first time. We will definitely be back here the next time we visit.“

“Clean, efficient. Order at the counter. Get your own water. They deliver plates promptly from the kitchen. Great shortrib sandwich and chicken salad. Pedestrian caprese salad- don't offer it if tomatoes are insipid. The coffee is great.“

“Basic diner ambience, the food is always good. I’m a picky eater wanting crispy home fries and crispy bacon and 9out of 10 they deliver exactly as ordered. Good service and it has an overall good vibe“

“I had a great breakfast at Jacks and Joe’s. The bacon, sausage, spam and eggs were cooked just right, the French toast with strawberries and nutella was delicious, and even the hash browns nice a crispy and the mango and pineapple juice smoothie hit the spot. Friendly quick service. Recommended.“

“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“

“Love it me gusta mucho la amabilidad y tienen los chilaquiles mas deliciosos que e probado 👌😋😋“

“Great food. Large selection. Beautiful atmosphere. Amazing staff. A+!“

“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.“

“I LOVE this place! They have happy hour from 3pm-6pm on the weekdays, but the best part is Joy the amazing Barista! She is very nice and will always make your day! I get so much school work done here! 1000 stars!“

“Great experience, great food.“

“The Menemen was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and almost as good as the one I had in Istanbul! 😊 It reminded me so much of the Bulgarian mish-mash. The oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, too. I’ll definitely be back! ☕❤“

“👌great food, friendly service.“

“Okay y'all, so I need y'all to check this cutesy spot out. I tried them for the first time yesterday, for my birthday. And the service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the food was DELICIOUS!! I went for brunch btw. I'll be going for dinner next time. But their brunch was AMAZING! I ordered the Steak&Eggs dish and literally cleaned the whole plate. I mean, it was sooo good. And they bring your food out quick too. The only downside is the parking. There's 2 hour parking meters on the street. And there's 2 hour residential parking as well. But there's a lot of signs in the residential area, so I wouldn't risk parking there if I were you. HOWEVER, there is a small parking structure on the next block over. And it's a $10 flat rate. And that parking structure closes at 8pm or 8:30pm (just a heads up). But again, it is a small parking structure. So it gets full quickly. Luckily it wasn't full when I parked there. But other than the parking, this restaurant is amazing. 10 out of 10!!! Thank you all for an amazing birthday experience. I will be back soon!“

“Angel at this IHOP made my California visit worth revisiting my favorite breakfast destination. She made up for a prior unsatisfactory experience at home which made me rethink my choices. She served my friend and I with a smile and she did everything an experience worth mentioning. She restored my trust in IHOP.“

“The best Honey 🍯🍰cake I have ever eaten! Dumplings, lazy cake, and crepes with homemade (curd) farmer's cheese. Hige recommend 🇱🇹“

“Highly recommend.
Ordered a ‘Rise and shine’ which did not disappoint. The portion size is extremely generous, tastes so fresh and the sour dough toast was easy to cut into and chew - nice and fluffy too.
The coffee is the best coffee I’ve had in L.A. during my stay so far. So good I had to get one to takeaway!“

“This cafe and Juice bar STOLE our hearts! A MUST when in San Diego and La Jolla. I mean, WOOOOWWW! We were able to sneak in a quick breakfast before our whale tour at the Little Italy location, and thank goodness we did! My only regret is not visiting every single day for their exceptional breakfast and high-quality juices! I ordered the All I Avo Wanted - Blue corn, waffle, smashed avocado, feta, shaved radish, over easy egg, chili flakes, hemp seeds, salsa macha. I mean, holy moly. The delivery was beautifully executed and built perfectly. The blue corn waffle was moist yet firm. My mother ordered the Shakshuka - another favorite dish of mine that WOWed. You can not go wrong with Parakeet. Thank you to the divine chefs and baristas - you made Parakeet the most beloved restaurant during our time in California!!!“

“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!“

“Best waffles! Light and fluffy“

“delicious food very friendly staff we receive our food and 5 minutes strongly recomend this place“

“For those of you who have stood in line for their brunch, do not, I implore you, do NOT sleep on their dinner. Their evening fare is nothing short of a Song of Ice and Fire, if the fire were the perfectly balanced heat of their taquitos, and the ice, the tempered sweet bite of Ryan’s cocktails. The service, flavors, and vibe of this restaurant put all others to shame. And yes, I am drunk, and you could be too, if you had the courage, nay, the audacity, to find yourself bereft of plans on a Wednesday night and think to yourself, “Well, First of All…”“

“Always friendly service at the Tujunga location. All the waitresses are nice but my favorite waitress is LETICIA. My mom and I meet at IHOP once per week. We both look forward to seeing Leticia's friendly smile Thank you, Virginia VA“

“Food was great! I would definitely recommend. They have more options than the usual but even the usual meats are so good“

“We arrived within 30 minutes of closing and the hostess came outside to flag us in that they were still open. All hands on deck with happy dispositions and friendly hospitality to get our beverages and refill them consistently and our food to the table right quick.

We had omelettes and a side of links, and the omelettes came with a house-made salsa that was divine. He also had a small order of biscuits and gravy which he adored. The whole ambiance is iconic American diner. I wish I could import the whole place and team over to Germany to show my fellow countrymen what American cuisine and warmth tastes and feels like. I cannot recommend the bacon avocado omelette enough to you. Go now, 11/10“

“French toast so good and burritos.“

“I have been wanting to try this restaurant and I’m so glad I finally did. I had no idea what this restaurant was about. I found out that it is southern style and I got the breakfast biscuit. This did not disappoint at all! Really large portion. The biscuit is amazing very buttery salty and all the ingredients taste fresh! I also got a cold brew with simple syrup. Usually not huge on just simple syrup. I prefer vanilla or caramel, but whenever they are using it, taste great! On top of all that their signature homemade hot sauce set it completely all off. I highly recommend. I will be back! The owner also was very kind and Max who took my order was very friendly!“

“Great Service and Amazing Food!

We haven’t visited IHOP in a long time, but today we decided to stop by for a quick family lunch/brunch. We had a great experience! The food was delicious, and the service was friendly, fast, and welcoming. It was a great way to enjoy a meal together as a family. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!!“

“Delicious food and wonderful staff“

“I work very close by and would say this is one of the better lunch options in the area for me. Everything is always consistently ready very fast and it’s always tasty. There is a small free parking lot right out front, otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Inside is large enough to dine in, but I always get it to go. They do have a pretty large menu with a lot of great options on it and I love that they have smoothies and drinks as well as food items.

I have tried a few different things here, but this past order I got the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and added avocado and honestly really liked it. The ciabatta bread was crispy and the the chicken was perfectly spicy and I just really enjoyed it. The dressing on the side salad was also terrific. I would recommend if you are in the area.“

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

“Had an amazing experience at West Hollywood Breakfast Company! We came in with a party of 8 and were accommodated instantly, which was a great start to our visit. The service was incredible from start to finish.

Huge shoutout to our server, Kevin! He was on top of everything, started us off with waters, took our drink orders, followed up with our food orders, and continuously checked in throughout the entire meal to make sure we were all good. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience.

The food was delicious, and the bottomless coffee and lemonade were amazing! The restaurant has a really nice vibe and the combination of great food, great atmosphere, and incredible service made for a fantastic experience.

Definitely recommend this place, especially if you’re looking for a great breakfast spot with excellent service. And shoutout again to Kevin for taking such great care of our group!“

“This small niche Mexican restaurant is indeed very authentic, I’ll say it in both languages just cause it’s that amazing, the chilaquiles are a perfect blend of slightly spicy with great taste! If you are visiting from out of town and looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant this is the spot for sure, aqui la nuestro desayuno estuvo espectacular! Los chilaquiles estavan bien sabroso con un sabor medico picoso bien rico! Definitely coming back! Sorry for not taking pictures of the food before hand I saw my plate and went to town on my meal!“

“Came here for the breakfast special that comes with 2 pancakes, eggs, sausage and hash-browns.
The hash-browns were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Pancakes were super yummy. The bean and cheese pupusa was delicious as well. Everything was super yummy and I can’t wait to come back.“

“Excellent food and amazing service!“

“I had such a wonderful breakfast here. Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot. The avocado omelet was especially delicious, and the hash browns had the ideal golden crisp to them.

The pancakes were light and fluffy, and having the syrup served on the side kept everything tidy. It is rare to find a spot that pays such close attention to the small details. I am already looking forward to my next visit.“

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

“Wonderfully delicious breakfast with many creative options. Nice sidewalk seating. Delightfully friendly staff. I Recommend the Asparagus omelette. 5-stars“

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

“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!“

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

“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“
