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 👌😋😋“

“Finally tried Mood for their newly launched dinner service!

I’ve been seeing this place all over Instagram and couldn't wait to visit this trendy LA hotspot.

The Vibe & Space: It’s actually a bit cozier and smaller than it looks on social media, but that made the atmosphere even better! The decor and table settings are incredibly cute, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

The Food: The culinary quality is outstanding. The meat dishes were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. I also loved their menu concept—they feature unique dishes inspired by various cultures, which made choosing what to order so much fun.

Pro-Tip: Since the space is on the smaller side, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially now that their dinner service is getting popular.

It completely lived up to the social media hype. I will definitely be back!“

“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! ☕❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“What an amazing breakfast! Frank our server was amazing! Split a huge breakfast burrito with my daughter and we had the OG and banana nut pancakes! Perfection! Everything so fresh and locally sourced… this will be our breakfast place every time we visit LA“

“Always a flawless experience here; the service, food and coffee never disappoint. I tried the breakfast burrito with Beyond sausage this time, and it was incredible. Super flavorful, perfectly filling, and left me feeling energized instead of weighed down. I love seeing high-quality plant-based options on the menu!“

“Great experience, great food.“

“Such a good breakfast spot. Staff was super nice and friendly the whole time. Food came out really fast and everything was delicious. We got French toast, hash browns, and Portuguese sausage—no misses at all. Prices were pretty reasonable too, which was a bonus. Overall just a really easy, tasty, feel-good meal. Would definitely go back.“

“👌great food, friendly service.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Excelente lugar y ambientes agradable.. Buenísimo café!!!“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“The holy land of Hollywood. Canter’s is a staple of Los Angeles, and has been visited by many of the greats and legends. With an extremely impressive menu list, you will be happy with whatever you get. The pastry counter is excellent with some great black and white cookies.“

“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!“

“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.“

“so i checked out rise n shine cafe recently, and it was pretty chill. the place has a cozy, casual vibe, good for a quick breakfast or brunch. i ordered some pancakes and coffee, and they were pretty tasty — nothing too fancy but quite satisfying. prices are reasonable, and the portions are decent. the staff was friendly and quick to take my order. it wasn’t too busy when i was there, so it felt relaxed. overall, if you’re looking for a laid-back spot to start your day with some good breakfast food, this place is worth a try. might come back if i’m around and craving a simple, tasty morning meal.“

“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“

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

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

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

“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“

“I had the quesabirria. Really solid dish. The consumè had solid flavor and the beef was well marinated. Others on the party had pancakes and French toast which they both said were all really good. Would highly recommend this place and would come back given the chance.“

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

“Excelente lugar, excelente servicio, todo muy Rico ❤️ muy recomendado.“

“I stopped by Big Art's Tacos after being curious for so long and grabbed the carne asada breakfast burrito (the OG) with an orange juice.

The burrito was HUGE and had the perfect amount of everything. Sometimes breakfast burritos are overloaded with potatoes or eggs, but this one was really balanced and every bite was amazing.

I got the salsa rojo with it and it was seriously tasty, but I wish it had a little more kick haha. That's genuinely my only complaint. The salsa verde was also on the mild side and super good as well.

The orange juice was a big surprise for me! Orange juice is my favorite juice to drink, so I have it pretty often and can usually tell when it's fresh. This was seriously some of the best orange juice I've ever had. It tasted like actual oranges, not sugary concentrate, and wasn't overly sweet at all. Just fresh, refreshing, and exactly how orange juice should taste.

The guys working there are very sweet and friendly. I appreciated the help in deciding what to get! Thanks for having me, I will be back!“

“Food was delicious cooked to perfection just like I asked, their protein pancakes delicious no need to add syrup or anything they are perfect. The server very attentive fast and super nice, now the atmosphere is a bit too loud for my liking and the waiting time isn't that fast but that's something they can't control so other than that everyone should come down to IHOP and enjoy the delicious food 😋.“

“Omg food was sooo good. I've been going to iHOP since I was a little kid and it's always been so good. And even more Nohemi was such a great server. Very nice, quick, made sure our waters were filled and tables cleared. Will be back!!“

“Get your ex lover back today“

“Marco (the manager) & Patty (my server) were great. Such attention to detail and truly cared about providing exceptional customer service. It doesn’t take much to provide a positive/professional experience for customers and as I watched each of them go above and beyond I felt the need to acknowledge them outwardly and now online amidst the norm of negative reviews often being the focal point for a company. I will have my family write one as well and will return. Aside from that, the restaurant was clean, food was great and came out within minutes!“
