We've given you Thai Town.
We've told you where to find the best Late Night Eats.
Now, every day in February, we will be bringing you: Breakfast! Wake up LAist style, and pick up on one of humanity's healthiest habits. (And yes, these entries may be NSFWorkers-Who-Don't-Eat-Breakfast. At least try to enjoy them with a nice cup of joe, alright?) We're not just gonna hit up Hollywood hot spots like Grub, BLD, or The Griddle, either -- nope, we're scouring the L.A. basin, from the South Bay to the East Side, from the beaches to the hills, from all-night diners to early-birds-only breakfast nooks -- the places you care about, with the info you need, and the sexy pictures you're craving.
Sweet or savory, caf or decaf, bacon or eggs, on the go or at a leisurely pace, Los Angeles has every possible breakfast option you can imagine. We've done our fair share of early morning dining in the past: eggs benedict, Ned vs. Fred's, Culver City crowds, not to mention a few comprehensive lists.
Let's kick off Breakfast Month in a truly democratic fashion (since Super Tuesday is almost here): what are your favorite breakfast spots in Los Angeles? Who's got the best cup of coffee? The yummiest pancakes? The thickest slabs of bacon? Who's overrated and who's overlooked? We're determined to find out -- so wake up with us, won't you? Enjoy L.A.'s Best Breakfasts!!!




I don't know if brunch counts but Hamburger Mary's has tasty, strong mimosas for $1 on Sat & Sun. And my man loves their $3 bloody mary's. And they're french toast is pretty good too.
Yahairha's in Pasadena is our top pick for breakfast when out there.
Headline's in Westwood!
The Bearded Mr. Frenchy at Fred 62 rocks!!!
Tiara Cafe off of 9th and Main downtown. Their version of eggs benedict "the poachers" is to die for. 2 poached eggs on a piece of brioche, with the best hash browns in town and top-quality prosciutto with just the right amount of hollandaise. Yum!
When I want pancakes, there's not much that can beat Marston's (in Pasadena) 7 grain pancakes with strawberries and bananas and maple syrup.
I'm also partial to the seasonal pumpkin pancakes at Jinky's in Santa Monica, but driving to Santa Monica from Pasadena on a weekend morning takes more effort than I am generally willing to expend.
The cookshack in san marino, the raymond in pasadena for brunch, Nick's on Pico for something basic, anywhere with good chorizo con huevos and oh, the pantry (duh)
and I hate to say it but Marston's used to be a lot better
Everyone know the great Griddle, but another worth the hype option:
John O'Groats near Westside Pavillion.
Those biscuits are e-mazing.
Millie's - must have The Devil's Mess
Pacific Diner in San Pedro on Pacific Avenue. Always a line but totally worth the wait.
