50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Toluca Lake

“Far too packed inside, makes for an extraordinarily loud and less than pleasant dinning experience. Better to eat on the patio, not on the street. The food portions are a little lackluster but the options are expensive. Get water and your drink for there are too few servers to attend to timely refills. This is the type of place you would expect to have carafes of juice and personal pots of coffee but nah, cant be bothered. Cocktails are whats on one of the two menus, so that accounts for part of the noise, too.“

“The food and service were OK. The food used to be better when they were at the smaller place further west.
I had a kale salad with salmon and a truffled chicken panini that had prosciutto and cheese, and a slice of pizza We also ordered regular fries and lavender fries.
The salad was ok, the fries were warm, hard, and rigid, the lavender fries tasted just like the regular fries. The pizza and the truffle chicken painini were awesome!!!
The service was prompt and cordial.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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! ☕❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great experience, great food.“

“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 food, friendly service.“

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

“Great local place for breakfast and lunch with tasty baked goods!😄“

“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!!!“

“I got lunch delivered from them for the first time today and it was absolutely amazing. I wanted to try the brisket, but they were out so I ended up with the steak sandwich and they were really apologetic and nice about it and even tossed in some extra freebies in my bag. I can’t speak to the atmosphere since I was not there, but the food was so good. I will definitely be visiting in person soon.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Mariah was literally the sweetest!! She was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The steak she brought out was really good too, everything came out fresh and exactly how we ordered it. Service was quick and she had such a good attitude the whole time. Definitely made the experience 10x better, would come back again!!“

“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!“

“Delicious food and wonderful staff“

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

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

“The food is great and can’t forget the greatest service ever!!“

“Hidden gem! Fresh food, huge portions, good prices. Self serve chips and salsa bar. 7 of us came after a Franklin Canyon hike. Everyone was satisfied. The breakfast burritos and meat burritos were a huge hit. French toast was mid but the pancakes looked pretty. Fresh squeezed orange juice was perfect! Plentiful free parking. Clean and organized. Very dependable Mom and Pop spot, worth supporting!“

“West Hollywood Breakfast Company is a great spot for breakfast with family. The decor is fun and unique, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the menu keeps things simple without sacrificing flavor. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall experience was excellent. We’ll definitely be back!“

“First of all, this place is highly talked about for their fluffy pancakes—and now I see why! We had to try them, and they were incredibly soft, with the melted butter on top making them even better. We also shared the French toast, which was just as delicious. For my main meal, I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich, and they definitely don’t skimp on portions—it was packed with juicy chicken and plenty of flavorful pesto. To top it off, I had an iced vanilla latte, and honestly, everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely a spot worth the visit!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“French toast so good and burritos.“

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

“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!!“

“Best waffles! Light and fluffy“

“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“

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

“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!!!“

“los pankekes son deliciosos“

“I came in with my father on wendsday the 19th to have breakfast as soon as we walked in Sandra greeted us so warmly and seated us she was also our server we love her service her warm smile and friendliness she was also soo kind. Next ti.e we come in we are going to ask for Sandra . Thank you for making our day Sandra“

“me and my GF were visiting LA from the eUK , order was so good ordered again the next morning. Highly recommend!“

“If you like Breakfast Burritos you have to try these out. I got the Chilaquiles one and a couple salsa rojas to boot (Go Doyers). Fantastic. I usually resort to convenience and either get the small basic ones at Jack's or Mickey D's on my way to work. Those are easier to manage due to their smaller size, but it's always a Compromise. Not with these. I would eat this for dinner it's so good. That said, they might want to think about adding Small, Medium, and I'm Hungry sizes because there was no way I was going to drive and enjoy this food. Had to chill and enjoy it making me a little later to work but totally worth it. I will be back.“
