“Came here because my grandmother said the food is authentic to a T. We are from El Salvador and my grandmother had her own restaurant in Sonsonate in the the 70s-80s.Coming here and tasting all the floors was nostalgic. The Sopa de Pata is perfectly done. when you come here you will enjoy all the flavorful authenticity of our culture.“
“We arrived on a Friday at around 11:00am and got seated right away. The restaurant has outdoor seating with heaters which I thought was really nice. Our food was great!! I order the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon and egg. Everything was delicious and por portions was plenty. My husband ordered the Mexican omelette with a side of has browns and toast and he too enjoyed his food very well. The ranchero salsa was delicious.The service was quick and very efficient. On top of that everyone was very friendly and helpful.The star of the meal was the cafe de olla! This is a must if you try out this place.The only thing is parking can be a little tricky and may have to park on the street or nearby neighborhood. Highly recommend this place.“
“I was in Santa Monica yesterday morning in line to eat at another restaurant. It was already lunch time. But I wanted breakfast food. I asked the people in line if that restaurant served French Toast for breakfast. A very nice young woman with a cute dog said "go to John O'Groats" if you want a traditional French Toast Breakfast. I followed her advice and drove out to John O'Groats. I am so glad that I did. This place is a tradition diner with a lot of charm. The French Toast was great. As was the coffee. The service was good. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to this location with friends. This is a great place to have lunch or dinner. Before I drove out there, I called. I got an outgoing voice message. I left a message in which I said that I had wished that someone had answered the phone. I just wanted to know if they are still serving breakfast. When I arrived, the proprietor said to me "You called didn't you?" I answered in the affirmative. He responded "We have breakfast all day every day!" I wish I had taken down the name and contact information of the woman who recommended John O'Groats. I would have enjoyed sharing my experience with her.“
“I was a customer when they were still with their food truck so when I found out they opened a restaurant near my work I was very excited. My coworkers and I order at least once a week from here breakfast and lunch. Portions and prices are excellent and food tastes great too can't ask for much more especially in this neighborhood where options are incredibly limited. I think you should all check them out.“
“I stumbled across this place because I was craving a vegan quesadilla and wasn’t sure where to go. It was phenomenal! Very nice staff and delicious vegan food. I’m not much of a vegan sausage person, but it was so tasty. The vegan cheese was amazing too. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the vegan menu! Yum!Vegetarian options: Entire vegan menuDietary restrictions: Great for dairy free people and vegans!“
“I'm glad that this place is utilizing the Vegan Just Egg! I had a burrito here made using the Just Egg and it was very tasty. I hope soon they include more vegan products as I believe it would attract many more customers to this establishment.“
“This was my first time visiting MTWs, it was recommended by a colleague. Our server was knowledgeable and very friendly. The food delicious! Eggs s cooked to perfection, waffles light & tasty. I had the peanut butter chocolate waffle (1/2) with eggs, breakfast potatoes and ham. I can't wait to introduce MTWs to my friends.“
“Food was alright, i make better food at home) Got the OG burrito and wasnt impressed, the portions are average for the ridiculous prices being street vendor are crazy, the green sauce kinda made me go a star up. i love to be fair in my reviews and this is a bit over. Food price for a street vendor -1“
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.! college kids working hard to make money & they're such good workers.!the food is made with love & passion cause you can taste it in the food they serve you! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.! very good people & quality food.! love this place.!“
“There is reason why this place rating is so high! Food is excellent, the signature French toast is a must, even my friend who doesn’t eat sugary food likes it! And the service is just amazing, they have the best employees! I left my bag( which hundreds of cash and everything in it) and only remembered it after 3 hrs! But I retrieved my bag from the lady serviced is her name is Maddison, after they already closed for an hr! I can’t tell you how touched I was by the way she went out of her way to help me (a stranger) solve problems! That’s definitely the place you would want to visit again again and again!“
“I have been coming here for years before the new owners took over. Under new ownership, the place is even better. Service is always friendly, and food is served up fast!I always get a solid breakfast here, and finally, someone who knows how to cook crisp hash browns! Just be sure to bring cash as they don't take cards, but they do have an ATM on-site in case you forget.“
“Great breakfast spot. Been coming here for years and they are very consistent. Chilaquiles are great. Kids love the pancakes. Can vouch for the Benedict. French toast is made just right. If you don't get in early on weekends parking is tough and you can expect a wait but they do move people in and out. Haven't actually had lunch here.“
“This is one of my favorite brunch places in LA! The loco moco hits everytime and the matcha pancakes are something I order every time I eat here. Their pancakes are also something that my friends and I love to share. Service is fairly quick, I'd say food arrives 10 min after seating. They do get busy in the morning, so be sure to come early!“
“Friendly staff, delicious food (I had the BOLT benedict) and cool music ? Thank you!Vegetarian options: Ich habe nach einer vegetarischen Variante von The Bolt Benedict gefragt und ohne Probleme bekommen. Die Würste und Bacon haben sie mir mit Spinat, Tomaten ind Avocado ersetzt. Zusammen mit Bratkartoffeln und einer dezenten Soße hat es sehr gut geschmeckt!“
“I'm glad that this place is utilizing the Vegan Just Egg! I had a burrito here made using the Just Egg and it was very tasty. I hope soon they include more vegan products as I believe it would attract many more customers to this establishment.“

“Wanted a non-chain savory breakfast and Miracle Bakery popped up. Super nice owner has a sparkling clean,adorable corner bakery across from my motel. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese,lettuce, avocado) with brewed coffee for $10. Can't beat the taste, quality or service.Vegetarian options: Ordered the breakfast sandwich, very good, just skip meat. There are a couple other choices.“
“This is specifically for Cynthia the hostess at the front. She was so kind and had such a great energy to her. She sat us down outside and when we asked if we could move inside due to the cold weather, she took care of us right away. My boyfriend was bleeding a bit from a small cut on his finger and Cynthia noticed and without even asking, brought over a disinfectant wipe and a bandaid. Such a sweet, kind gesture. I appreciate people that go out of their way to make the experience so great. Thank you, Cynthia!“
“My boyfriend and I had the best breakfast here today!My order: veggie omelette, cheesy grits, country potatoes, and sourdough toastMy BF’s: bacon omelette, hash browns, pancakes, and a biscuit with gravyBefore you say anything- we were darn hungry ok??Keith & Jennifer were absolute sweethearts, filling up our coffee cups with every sip we took, even putting my man and I into a coffee drinking competition (it started with Keith saying to him, “You’re gonna let her out-drink you?”) and the chaos began ??Very appreciative of their wonderful service and the savory plates they cheffed up for us.Thank you- we will be back!!“
“We stopped here on our way out of town and I am SO glad we did! The food was amazingggg and our service was great. We had the cajun chicken & waffles and the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious! I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area!“
“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!“
“First time having an oatmeal griddle cake. They were absolutely divine. My husband had the breakfast sandwich which was made to perfection.The host was very friendly and helpful. Even with the busyness of the restaurant, he followed up on our experience. Loved it!!!“
“City Kitchen is one of my favorite spots in all of Los Angeles the ambience the artwork, the friendly staff, the bottomless mimosas and I’m a huge breakfast guy so the all day breakfast A big win for me. I would recommend the morning wrap And the banana nut pancakes.Kid-friendliness: This place is fun for the whole family“
“So freaking good! I wanted to support a small business after hitting the dispensary and Beulah's blew me out of the water delicious! They even carry Kelis's brand bounty and full lovely vibes on the inside go don't think just go delish“
“Wow! Delicious, homemade breakfast. The drinks were especially good- we all passed our homemade lemonade and smoothies around it was so good. Home fries were perfect and french toast was excellent. We might only eat here for breakfast for the rest of our stay!Vegetarian options: Enough choices for vegetarians“
“One of the best bagel/lox platters I've had on either coast. Cozy environment, clean surfaces and very good coffee. Can only speak to breakfast but the breakfast sandwich and waffle my party also ordered were all excellent. Not too busy at 8am on a Monday - a great experience and I will be happy to return and test their lunch/dinner options.Parking: Shopping center with 3 hour limit but plenty of spaces.Kid-friendliness: Cozy booths, good sized kids menu.“
“First time to Sweetsalt! I came to the reopening mainly because Frank Bonventre, former head pastry chef for Wolfgang Puck, the Oscars, and Joan's on Third, is now the new pastry chef!! I was excited...Mr. Bonventre is a legend in Los Angeles and Sweetsalt had become a go to place for breakfast (they serve it with a salad side!!!) and lunch. Gorgeous place...who knew the this old building in Toluca had such great bone!!!??!! Service was great and friendly...and the food...OMG (I had the lettuce cups, flourless chocolate cake, breakfast muffins). It was soooo delicious and reasonably priced... Such a great meeting place. It's a magnet for people of all ages...what a find!!“
“While staying in LA the other night we decided to eat here based on a local recommendation. The pancakes are beyond HUGE and the French Toast (original) was very tasty. Also the coffee was served in a French Press at the table and was fresh. We also ordered eggs and sausage as a side. The restaurant didn't have many when we walked in at 8:30 on a Thursday, but quickly filled up by 9. The atmosphere is cool, hip diner style and music was a bit loud but good, definitely woke us up in a good way! Service was friendly and it was great to find this place.“
“My favourite cold brew. Great spacious calm environment. It feels like being inside one of those café ambience YouTube videos. Very friendly staff. Nice area close to shops. Lots of parking and a lovely view of the hills. Would love it if they had more vegan options, but the avocado toast is delicious!Vegetarian options: The avocado toast is vegan if you order it without the cheese.“
“Good breakfast joint with friendly service and a simple but satisfying menu. Very attentive wait staff.Vegetarian options: Lots of egg options for breakfast.Parking: Pretty busy but parking is available.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with kids menu.“
“This place has really good breakfast. Its usually not too busy so its perfect if you want to get away from the crazy crowds in Burbank. The place us to be an old Bobs Big Boy back in the day. Lots of free parking too! Ask for Modesto! Its family owned!“
“They were super welcoming and nice folks. The seating was cozy and cute. You feel the family business vibe. Their coffee mugs are super cute each was different and unique The french toast was a bit dry but it was ok when mixed with the maple syrup the fruits on top was tasty but wish there were more fresh fruits and no canned fruits. The parking was also large and spacy“
“This was the most surprisingly amazing breakfast I've had in a long time. Venezuelan delicacies to explore and experience for everyone in a cute quaint area of NoHo. Tasty food with outdoor seating. Great staff, cool vibes, tasty food, a must try!“
“For those looking for a fancy LA brunch, keep on walking past Headliners. But if you're in the mood for old school style diner food, step on in. I opted for 3 eggs over easy, hash browns, toast, sausage and a cup of coffee. The hash browns stole the show but everything on the plate was solid. And to boot - Headliners was clean and well taken care of care of. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.“
“Good sized portions but very limited & extremely egg-centric menu. Priced very much like its competitors, except the coffee, which was bitter, small, & after $4 for 8oz its $1.75 for each refill? (Shameful penny pinching in my opinion) The friendly & outgoing Saturday morning manager & the smile brought to my 8yr old's face with the Vegan Breakfast Burrito made it all worth while.“
“With 3 people manning the line, Big Art's Tacos provides some pretty quick service. You can find them under a black tent and sign on the street with parking inside a lot. Good size breakfast burritos with ingredients you can taste. I do wish that the tater tots were crisper and they had provided more salsa.“
“Amazing Sandwich, Great Flavors and like sitting in Grandma's living room. I had the special it was Egg and Bacon with Spring Mix lettuce and Balsamic vinaigrette on a Waffle. One of the best Breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. If I am in the area I will definitely stop in again.“
“I think this is my favorite breakfast place now. The only problem for me is the parking, but all in all, I have amazing experience. For sure I will come back . To the chef and to the people who help make the food pretty, thank you very much. First time having a real egg omelette. Yummmmm?????“
“We come here regularly for breakfast. The food is consistently good and typically served very quickly. The management and staff have always been extremely kind, friendly, and have delivered excellent service. If Yoli is there ask for her, she’s wonderful and super sweet. Hands down the best IHOP I’ve been to, and despite all the amazing places to eat in LA, this continues to be a regular stop for us. There’s definitely an awesome team here.Parking: There’s free valet on the weekends and some meter parking on the street.“
“I got the Soojoo Muffin sandwich and I ordered on Doordash. Great fix during work!!! I loved the chipotle aioli (?) sauce that it came with and the dill sauce inside was amazingly fragrant. I don't think I'll be getting the orange juice again because it was pretty pricey but it's a great little breakfast and the to go bag was put together very nicely.“
“I discovered this place when I used to live in Burbank. I always go for burrito and it never fails me. The teriyaki bowls is my other option when I want something heavier for lunch.I don’t live in Burbank anymore, but I still go when I’m close to the area. I just love this place and I respect the staff who wakes up early in the morning to serve the community and keep doing what they do everyday.“
“Absolutely hands down the most delicious ham cheese egg croissant! Coffee was delicious too.Delightful and relaxing cafe. The folks are so gracious.Celebrating post visa appointment at French Consulate was made more special with Cafe Cinema.Cheers!“
“Food was delicious and most of the Staff was pleasant. As far as atmosphere, I got a lot of strange looks when first entering. I'm a 66 year old, large Black Man, that is well traveled, so I'm used to getting strange looks from people. It never deters me.“
“Yum! So glad I found this little gem. Food is yummy and reasonably priced! You get a good amount out food. I had the bacon, tomato, avocado and cheese omelette and it hit the spot. I really like their hash browns. They have a good crunch to them. I like that it has a mom & pop feel to it. This is my second time here (first time dining in) and the service has been great. Will def come back with my family.“
