36 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Venice

“100% lives up to the hype. Walked by the one in Vegas and the line wrapped around the cosmo and I was shocked. Now that I have eaten a Fairfax and a bacon egg and cheese. I can definitely see why people would wait for it. I have thought about it a few times since leaving LA. I will be back and maybe half the reason I come back to LAX is because of eggslut.“

“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.“

“Call ahead! The wait at the sandwich section can - at times - be a bit slow & tedious and can cost you half your lunch hour. Plus I don't love the fact that their default channel is "Fix News". Still, the salad bar is fabulous. Also, Maggie and Ruby absolutely rock! :-)“

“I got the veggie panini and an iced matcha w/ oat milk; both were very good. My brother ordered a french toast that he vacuumed down in 5 seconds and my dad ordered an omelette that he could not get enough of. Everything was just so fresh and healthy. The service was great and the employees are so friendly! I definitely suggest eating in the back patio, the atmosphere is just amazing!“

“This is the best breakfast brunch! The food and atmosphere is a great brunch everyday of the week before 2:30! If you are in the area or for locals make time to enjoy the French toast and Eggs Benedict is always yummy!! Ask for Dill Hollandaise! Thank you for a great way to start the day!!!! They also do events! Local spot! Oh and a fun mocha!“

“We went to Uncle Bill’s House for breakfast, and the food was lip-smacking good. We were completely satisfied with our meals. There's outdoor and indoor seating. Uncle Bill’s is a trendy spot, so be prepared to wait. It's usually a short wait. When we first went, we ordered the house specialty, Uncle Bill’s French Toast; it was delish. This time, we explored the menu. I ordered some banana nut pancakes. They exceeded my expectations, and they tasted scrumptious. The scrambled eggs and hash browns were good, too. The coffee was on par with most pancake houses. We love the cozy family home feeling inside and the beach-chic atmosphere outdoors. There is limited prepaid meter parking adjacent to Uncle Bill’s. There is also public parking within walking distance. The cost of food is very reasonable and a great value. The service is excellent. One of the local regulars told me the next time we visit, ask for the natural molasses syrup that is kept behind the counter.“

“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.“

“Scrumptious lunch just steps away from the beach. Kate, our waitress, was very pleasant and attentive. Always with a smile. The menu has a nice array of choices and the portions are large. I recommend this establishment to anyone.Vegetarian options: I had and thoroughly enjoyed the grain Bowl.“

“The only problem with Breakfast by Salt's Cure is finding a place to sit in the bare utilitarian space as it is often packed to overflowing. The reason, of course, is the food. Their griddle cakes are a unique pancake experience and supper good. I am partial to the blueberry, but the trick is to order with two other people and split all three varieties. The only pancakes that compare for taste and texture are top flight lemon ricotta pancakes. Their breakfast sausage is also very tasty as are the hash brown cakes, although I prefer traditional hash browns as a rule. The large slice of "breakfast ham" is also an excellent choice. Bottom line great food but probably best ordered to go and enjoyed at home. Then, you get the best of both worlds.“

“Food, chef's kiss! I'm yelling cuz it's that good! Too bad I'm not a morning person, but to have some Red's breakfast, I will wake up early. We ordered Texas scramble with potatoes. Those potatoes have my heart! So good! Also ordered shrimp & grits - 100% stamp of approval. So delicious and full of flavor. Not runny but substantially good. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu.Picked up food so didn't eat inside. I suggest calling in your order because they get busy, especially during the holidays.“

“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!“

“Cindy provided excellent service a long with a mother lady who was also in the restaurant at the time of my visit. I dined in for brunch on 3/7 at 10:55am. Excellent staff and the atmosphere was calm and quiet. Thank you so much for a great experience!!“

“Wonderful. Very hospitable. Excellent food, great service, great atmosphere. We were 2 couples wanting a light lunch. Each couple split their plate and the server was very accommodating. Everyone there was very nice. We can highly recommend and we will be returning soon.“

“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!!!“

“LOVE - ❤️ - LOVE, THIS PLACE.WE LEFT ANOTHER BRESKFAST SPOTWITH POOR SERVICE OUT THE GATETO GO ACROSS TOWN TO THIS IHOP.SERVICE IS ALWAYS FRIENDLY & WITH A SMILE, FOOD IS ALWAYS ON POINT & THE PRICES ARE GOOD TOO !!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.... I WILL BE BACKWheelchair accessibility: Back & side handicap opening.“

“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“

“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.“

“One of the best, if not the best breakfast/lunch places in Venice. Breakfast burritos and caprese sandwiches are awesome. One of the best values you're going to find in the area. The staff has always been friendly when I came in to pick up the food.“

“All 4 of us were very impressed at the first bite. Well prepared and succulent dishes framed with artistic presentation holding hands with a rich flavored cup of coffee. Undecided what to choose from the beginning after scrutinized that attractive and colorful menu, but in reality, every item is a good choice.“

“Excellent egg restaurant. A great variety of choices. Presentation definitely matters. The food is crafted and designed to look delicious. The theming is very spot on too. Condiments, plates, store, atmosphere all lend to the feel. Can't really go wrong with any choice here.Odd thing I noticed is practically every dish was chipped. Not sure if that was part of the theme (cracked egg), but if unintentional, its smart.Parking: Definitely tough to find parking at peak. Recommend the garage behind it.“

“Since the change in management, IHOP Ohio and Bundy has blossomed into a haven of charm and elegance. The addition of fresh flowers on each table lends an air of sophistication, while the thoughtful seasonal decorations infuse the space with warmth and character. It's evident that the new management is dedicated to creating an inviting ambiance that delights patrons and sets IHOP Ohio and Bundy apart from the crowd.Parking: Excellent service“

“Courtyard is a nicely located Cafe for people finding themselves in and around the LAX area during the early part of the day and wanting an affordable food fix. I believe the tiny cafe is an independent family-owned shop. Staff are friendly and helpful. You'll find quality tasty breakfast items and beverages here, with most stuff priced less -- or not much more -- than a $10-er. Burritos and quesadillas are especially popular. Orange juice is fresh squeezed, and their famous juice called the Vampiro, red from beets, is a delectable blend of some of my favourite fruits and vegetables. You can ask for it with a dash of spicy refreshing ginger blended in. It might be a little challenging to pinpoint locate, since Courtyard is not readily visible from Sepulveda. It's in the rear courtyard of a building. I think it's well worth seeking out for reasonably priced, satisfying breakfast fare near the airport 'hood.“

“Beautiful restaurant with great service and good food, but crappy coffee. Arrived around 7 am and were seated immediately. Cousin said the country fried steak was good and my little niece liked the chocolate chip pancakes. However, both the coffee and cappuccino tasted horrible, which is why I couldn't give the full 5 stars. I would expect a breakfast place to have better coffee.“

“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.“

“Took my little brother for some breakfast today and decided we would try a new spot. So I looked a little online and found this spot really close to me and thought I'd give it a try. First impression walking in I thought it was small but it actually has a good amount of seating in a little side room. They only have one person working the front which is also waiting all the tables which he does a great job being the only one he had excellent customer service and was always attentive. My food experience was not the greatest. I ordered the pupusa ranchera which to me was something new it had great flavor but it became too mushy with all the salsa. I also ordered the plantains which was very hard and not sweet at all it was paired with beans and crema which made it a bit better. My brother ordered the house special with bacon he loved the hash brown and eggs but the bacon was really salty and hard to finish the pancakes were great moist and very flavorful. He also ordered a bean and cheese pupusa which had very little cheese it was all bean unfortunately but he loved the taste just wished the cheese and bean was a little more balanced in the pupusa.“

“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.“

“On this occasion, we returned to SOL for Sunday brunch. The food, drinks, and vibe were great, and we once again received the excellent customer service we've come to ♥ (and expect) from the whole crew. Thanks again to Luis, the hostesses, the bar crew, and to everyone!“

“It was my first time there I wanted a little breakfast before I got my hair done. I ordered a bagel and 2 glazed doughnuts because they didn't have a big selection of donuts at that time.But I did get 2. The bagel was really good toasted, with light cream cheese. The lady, most likely the owner, was really pleasant and nice, and she gave me a Little-good luck charm. With my purchase. Whenever I'm in that area of Lawndale, I will be going there.“

“Today we had a party of 9 people and we went for bunch. Our server was excellent and was always there when we needed him. Ernesto remembered all of our names and called us bro, it was a very good environment and i've never had a sever that remember all the names. I ended up getting Breakfast Sampler and it was very good, I would ask for the bacon crispy. The pancakes were amazing as well as the eggs but the hash browns were a bit overcooked. During the time we were here the wonka specials were in the store and my brother got the drink. He thought it was amazing because it had sprinkles and cotton candy which are two things he loves. I think the food here is adequate. The sever was the best and the food was okay!“

“I walked by and owner, Sergio is the sweetest and funny man. He said Hi and told me that they have Philly cheese steak too. That was cute because I don't eat meat. I looked at other places to see where to eat from. Then went back over here to see what I can order. Ordered their sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and white bread. Asked him for a cup of water. He's so funny. He asked, On the rocks? I said yeah with ice rocks lols. He said ok and handed me my water and said here's your cocktail. He made me laugh. I've ate here before many years ago. Like 8-9 years ago. Glad he's still here but I also asked him how come he's not retired yet. Hehe He said he loves it here. He'd be so bored at home. Haha I highly recommend here with great low prices that best everyone else's prices here. During the time when gas is high of $7 and may even go up to $10 with this biden government administration, food prices here are very helpful. I had a lovely chat with Sergio here and all his 2 staff are so genuinely sweet all the time from start to finish and beyond. :)He didn't just have best food, best prices, best customer service but the experience here felt great.“

“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!“

“Random stop on the way down the coast and a total delight. Good food, clearly a local dive, and totally worth it.If you're in the area, take a swing by.Vegetarian options: Just ask. Friendly staff and cooks.Dietary restrictions: Just ask. Friendly staff and cooks.Parking: Street parking but easy to find.Kid-friendliness: No concerns here.Wheelchair accessibility: Public sidewalks and access.“

“Super cute cafe close to LAX. Got a lavender latte (around $7) and an almond croissant (around $7). Lavender syrup slightly overpowers the coffee, but pretty good overall. They printed a cute design on the latte. Croissant was flaky and right amount of sweetness for the marzipan. Wished they offered to toast it though.“

“on 4/21/24, My husband asked me what I wanted to eat on the last night of my birthday weekend. I wanted pancakes! But I'm medically gluten-free.I called IHOP and they said that yes, they had enough gluten-free batter that night.I ordered a 4-stack with banana slices--yum! When they came, I asked our waiter, Edgar, if IHOPE had any candles. He said they didn't...but 5 minutes later he came back with a small candle that he'd found in a back room drawer.Then I asked if he had any matches, and again he said no. But 10 minutes later he came to our table with matches--which he'd gone to his own car to get.Wow.It may seem like a small thing, but his kindnesses made the ending of my birthday weekend the best ever.Thank you, Edgar, for going above and beyond!Dietary restrictions: Call to make sure they have made enough batter for gluten-free pancakes!“

“It’s an iHop so you know what to expect, but this one is one of the best we have been to. Food good, coffee hot, staff efficient and friendly. We ordered from the 55+ menu which gives slightly smaller portions (see photos) at a discounted price.“
