The San Fernando Valley is chock full of great breakfast spots, from greasy spoon diners to mom-and-pop chilaquiles parlors and creative takes on classic pancake houses. We've put together a collection of some early morning spots that will rev up your day.
Why it matters: The Valley has its share of trendy cafes and influencer-endorsed brunch spots, but we also like to highlight those joints that simply serve tasty meals to an appreciate public.
What's on the menu: Across the valley, choose from deli salami and eggs, or crispy pork jowl served in a skillet with two eggs on top and and a side of rice or tiramisu soufflé pancakes. You won't be hungry and your day will zip past.
The San Fernando Valley is full of many great places to get breakfast. There’s the greasy spoon diners, the mom-and-pop chilaquiles parlors, and those creative takes on classic pancake houses. The Valley has its share of trendy cafes and influencer-endorsed brunch spots, but much of this list is more unassuming. The kind of place you’ve been going to with your family for years, the coffeeshop for early morning meetups with old friends, restaurants that simply serve the community tasty meals. This is by no means a definitive list, just a collection of some of the places you can get great breakfasts in the SFV.
Myke's Cafe (Pacoima)

You can get a straightforward breakfast, sure, at Myke’s Cafe, the legendary Northeast valley breakfast spot with garden seating. They have huevos rancheros, benedicts, or the classic two-eggs-any-style-with-a-side-of-bacon-and-potatoes — but people really come here for their “mad creations.”
Like reimagining a pancake breakfast as a banana split, complete with bananas, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, lemon curd, and of course sprinkles. Or the Wafflechera, which pours lechera condensed milk, graham crackers, strawberries, and whipped cream over their signature Belgian waffle. And if you’re coming in crudo after a long night, the Little Man Hangover Cure comes with fries, cheddar cheese, black beans, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, red sauce, one sunny side up egg and asada. If you need that hair of the dog they serve beer and bottomless mimosas. Breakfast is served all day. If you end up staying for lunch, they’ll put a Snickers bar on your burger.
Location: 13171 Van Nuys Blvd., Pacoima Hours: Open daily, 8 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Con Sabor Salvadoreño (Reseda)
There are a number of places to get great Salvadoran food in the Valley. Pupusas, panes rellenos sandwiches stuffed with turkey and vegetables, crispy pastelitos, and all those great soups. But first thing in the morning, you know I’m craving a traditional desayuno salvadoreño. The ones they serve at Con Sabor Salvadoreño in a strip mall on Tampa and Roscoe hit the spot. Their traditional breakfast comes with eggs over easy or revueltos scrambled with tomatoes, onions, and peppers. It's served with fried plantains, crema salvadoreña, queso duro,a salty hard cheese, thick tortillas, and frijoles licuados, a refried black bean or casamiento, a mixture of rice and black beans. Of course they’re also known for the aforementioned breadth of Salvadoran cuisine, and those delectable pupusas that you can also eat anytime.
Location: 8241 Tampa Ave., Reseda Hours: Open daily, 7a.m. - 9 p.m.
Location: 1030 San Fernando Road, San Fernando Hours: Open daily, 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Grab a traditional breakfast or order a pastrami sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup if you're feeling crazy

I think that Brent’s Deli s probably the best deli in Los Angeles, and they make one of the best breakfasts in the Valley. We often meet my wife’s family there early on Sunday mornings before the rush. If you come any later than 8:45 you can expect a twenty minute wait. I sometimes get delicatessen breakfast favorites like salami and eggs or matzo brei. Another favorite is American Dream Breakfast which comes with your choice of french toast, pancakes, or waffles topped with a red, white, and blue patriotic trifecta of strawberries, whipped cream, and blueberries. My wife’s family always orders a round of mini latkes and blintzes for the table. Grab a traditional breakfast or, heck, it’s totally okay to order a pastrami sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup for breakfast. Get there when they open or expect a wait.
Location: 19565 Parthenia St., Northridge Hours: Open daily Tuesday – Sunday : 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Mondays they close at 3 p.m.
Goto At Silog (Panorama City)
Breakfast including tocino, a cured meat and bangus, also known as milk fish

For a great Filipino breakfast go to Goto At Silog. In Filipino, “Silog” is a portmanteau for sinangag, meaning garlic fried rice, and itlog for a fried egg. The word can get even more portmanteaued when you combine it with your favorite proteins like a sweet and garlicy sausage longganisa which makes a dish called longsilog or tocino, a cured meat which becomes tocilog. They also serve Spamsilog and Hotdogsilog. Another popular dish is their sizzling sisig, made from crispy pork jowl, served in a skillet with eggs on top and of course a side of rice. You can also go with their namesake Goto, a savory rice porridge made with ginger and beef tripe. Breakfast is served all day.
Location: 14650 Roscoe Blvd., Panorama City Hours: Open daily except Tuesday, 7 a.m. -3 p.m.
Western Bagel (10 locations including the Van Nuys Factory)
There are some great places to get bagels in The Valley, like Hank’s in Sherman Oaks and Burbank. But it’s hard to beat Western Bagel — the “bagel that won the west” since 1947. Their factory in Van Nuys makes around five million bagels per year.
(I got a tour of their operation last year. Bagels galore gliding by on conveyor belts on their way to be baked.)
They make the dough at the HQ but each retail location boils and bakes their bagels on-site. You can bring home a dozen with appropriate lox and schmears. Or order their popular jalapeño cheese bagel or their famous Egg Ala Bagel with scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of bacon, ham, sausage, or turkey. Their horchata latte hits the spot every time and if you and a few friends want to get extra caffeinated, you can order the 96 ounce containers of coffee for a good time.
Locations: 10 locations including Encino, Tarzana, Studio City, Northridge, Granada Hills and Van Nuys Hours: The Van Nuys factory is open 24/7. Other locations hours vary but are usually open daily 5 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Big Art’s (Mission Hills / Chatsworth)
Carne asada breakfast burrito at Big Arts

There are so many contenders for the best breakfast burrito in the valley. You can go to fast food joints like Big Fat, whose griddle produces some hearty breakfast burritos, or new school places like Taqueria Nopal who work out of a modern trailer on Balboa in Northridge and also have an impressive specialty latte program.
But a place that’s been holding it down specifically for the breakfast burrito for the last few years is Big Art’s. Art and his team have been in a tent on the corner of Devonshire and Sepulveda slinging those warm flour blankets wrapping a combo of cheese, egg, tater tots, pico de gallo, and avocado salsa. The OG style comes with asada. You can also get one with bacon that’s called the "when pigs fly” burrito. (You can also omit the eggs and get the vegan soyrizo version). They also serve cafe de olla and a coffee cake that rivals the classic LAUSD recipe. Big Art’s Tacos y Burros recently opened a brick and mortar location in Chatsworth on Devonshire in the plaza behind The Munch Box.
Like the Mel’s Drive-In on Route 66 in Santa Monica that LAist food and culture writer Gab Chabran recently wrote about, the Sherman Oaks location originally started as a 24 hour Googie-style diner. It originally opened in the Spring of 1953 on Ventura Boulevard and Kester Avenue as Dyles Restaurant (and later Kerry’s Coffee Shop.) Back then you could order breakfast 24 hours a day, with menu items like the advertised steak and eggs for $1.75. These days you can order it but you’ll be paying closer to $29.99.
It’s been a Mel’s Drive-In since 1988, a part of the iconic chain of California fifties diners that were featured in the coming-of-age movie American Graffiti. The Sherman Oaks location still has a jukebox at the table and you can sit at a booth beneath Wolfman Jack, and new school heroes like Guy Fieri. You can get your classic diner fare plus specialties like their The Elvis Scramble, with chorizo, green chiles, monterey jack. Or the Yuppie Joe’s scramble with ground turkey, spinach, mushrooms and onions.
Whenever I’m driving down Victory Boulevard west of Van Nuys Boulevard, I see a long line forming in front of Garcia Bros Cafe. People say they don’t mind standing in line for up to forty-five minutes, because they love their made-from-scratch food and extremely friendly staff. This popular Van Nuys destination is known for their hearty breakfasts.
Their house specialties include avocado toast, chilaquiles, spicy chicken omelettes, and matcha berry pancakes keep the crowds coming. They’ve got a Brunch Burger with American cheese, arugula, onions, bacon, thousand island, and a sunny side up egg. The Victory Breakfast Sandwich comes stacked with two scrambled eggs, goat cheese, hashbrowns, avocado, and tomato. Their full coffee menu includes signatures like cafe de olla and matcha lattes. Come hungry, the wait is worth it.
The breakfast diner in a strip mall on the corner of Ventura Boulevard and Wilbur recently renamed itself. Since it opened in 2006 it had been known as CiCi’s Cafe but now it’s called Lady C’s. Everything else is exactly the same, including the ownership, staff, recipes, and having perhaps the “Largest Menu In The World.” Long lines of customers keep coming into Lady C’s for their classic diner breakfasts and tiramisu soufflé pancakes. Allow 45 minutes to an hour for their 80+ soufflé pancake options, and only one order per table to accommodate their tiny kitchen.
When you look deeper into the menu you can find some of their Thai fusion specialties like the shrimp fried rice, Thai beef benedict, and the beef panang curry and lava omelette. The orangeish red curry is served among the Japanese-style viral cream runny egg dish that erupts “lava” when it’s cut into.
I know a list of great breakfasts can be controversial, especially in the the things we may have omitted. Why not include the Ranch Style breakfast at Joyce’s Coffee Shop in Northridge? Or the steak and eggs at the iconic Norm’s of Van Nuys? Where’s the cheese beorek at Taron Bakery in North Hollywood? Or the tamale lady at the corner of Saticoy and Reseda? These are all certainly great meals that hit the spot early mornings, but alas we’re limited by space.

Whether you’re looking to connect with a reporter or have an interview coming up, here’s a cheat sheet to help you talk with journalists, including our staff from LAist.
Why it matters: Reporters come to you for a reason. They may be intimidating because they have a mic or a camera, but you have a perspective they need. Media outlets also want to expand their audiences, and that includes you.
Read on... for our cheat sheet on how to talk with journalists.
LAist reports on local issues for — and with — communities across Southern California, but chances are most readers have never spoken with a journalist before. Your stories and experiences power our reporting, so it’s important that people know what to expect when they speak with a reporter.
That’s what this guide is for.
Below are some tips from our newsroom on what to keep in mind when talking to a journalist.
Remember: You are the expert on your own life
Tell the story you want to tell about yourself.
Be honest. Truthfulness and facts are central to journalistic ethics.
Also know your worth. Reporters come to you for a reason. They may be intimidating because they have a mic or a camera, but you have a perspective they need. Media outlets also want to expand their audiences, and that includes you.
Common questions
How can I get a journalist’s attention?
Contact reporters by social media or send them a personal email — at LAist, contact information is available on our staff page. If you meet a reporter, get their business card. It will usually have a direct phone number to talk with them.
Will all my words be published?
Probably not. Journalists are often working with a limited word count or air time. They will likely use one short sound bite or quote from you. It’s also possible they will not use your interview at all. Reporters and their editors decide what will get published.
Can I see a copy of the story before it's published?
Probably not. It is against journalistic ethics to have sources review a story before it’s published. Imagine if a journalist were to do a piece about government corruption. You wouldn’t want the government agency to review the story and edit it. Editors review stories for accuracy.
When will the story be published?
It depends on the type of story. Some stories are short and may air on the radio or be published online the same day you talk to the reporter. Other times a reporter might work on a story for several weeks or months. It’s OK to follow up with the reporter who talked to you and ask when the story might be done and ask them to let you know where you can read or hear it.
Can I speak with a fact-checker?
You are welcome to ask reporters about their fact-checking process or how they make sure a story is accurate. Not all outlets have fact-checkers. If the story is an investigative story or a long-form or magazine format, designated fact-checkers are more common. At LAist, reporters and editors are responsible for verifying information.
What if I am asked about something that makes me feel uncomfortable?
Your story is your own and during an interview you have full control over what you say to a reporter. Answer questions in any way that makes you feel most comfortable, and you can always decline to answer a question.
What do I do if a reporter asks me about my immigration status?
You don't have to disclose your immigration status to a reporter. If it's directly relevant to the story, a trustworthy reporter will explain that and also tell you how they'd handle the information. You can decline to answer.
How do I determine if the newsroom I'm speaking with has a specific point of view?
It's a great question and relates directly to media literacy — meaning how well you can spot misinformation, disinformation and bias. The reality is that we all have points of view. Here are some tools to check on where a publication falls across the political spectrum:
FAIR's (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting), which describes itself as a "progressive media watchdog group" has this media literacy guide.
You should be able to find information on who funds the work on the site (corporations, individual owners, subscribers, members and so on).
You can also check out this interactive chart tracking media outlets across the political spectrum (note that you may need a paid version to search smaller outlets). Ad Fontes Media, which describes itself as a "public benefit corporation" which they said means they are "a for-profit business with a stated public mission," has been publishing its analysis since 2018.
Is everything I say usable in a story?
You can come to an agreement with reporters ahead of the conversation about how your words can be used:
“On the record”: This means that everything you say in your conversation with the journalist can be quoted, published and attributed back to you. By default, you should assume any exchange you have with a journalist is on the record unless you mutually agree otherwise.
“On background”: This means that you are sharing information with a journalist that can be referenced in a story, but is not directly attributed to you.
“Off the record”: This means that you are sharing information that is not for publication. People may share experiences or tips off the record if they want the journalist to be aware of the information but don’t want it mentioned in a story. Remember that “off the record” only counts if both you and the journalist agree to it.
It's worth noting that different newsrooms may use these terms slightly differently. You should confirm with the reporter that you have as shared understanding of the meaning.
Do I need to pay to be in a news story? Can I get paid?
No and no. You will not pay or get paid to be in a news story because this is against journalistic ethics. Anyone who receives payment for a story could be swayed to bend the truth.
What if the reporter gets my story wrong?
If you feel that the reporter misrepresented your story, you can ask for a correction or an update to clarify a point. Reporters want to get the story right and they don't want to incorrect or misleading information to go unchecked. That said, corrections deal with information that is factually incorrect, so you should be ready to explain what was wrong and why. Under California law, you have 20 days to demand a correction and the publisher has to respond within a set period of time.
Think about the main points you want to get across in your interview. What are the most critical things for the reporter to know? Some people like to organize their thoughts into three major points. If you are not used to telling your story, you may want to have a friend ask you some questions to practice. Depending on the story, a reporter may also ask if you have any pictures to share that they can use to help tell the story.

Topline:
Paradise Dynasty and Burritos La Palma have teamed up on a limited-edition Birria XLB — birria de res folded into a soup dumpling skin.
Why it matters: Two of the defining food obsessions of the past decade in Southern California — birria and XLB — are meeting in one bite, and the collab feels less like a gimmick and more like a natural expression of how L.A.'s Asian and Latino food cultures have always cross-pollinated.
Why now: The Birria XLB drops publicly May 11 at Paradise Dynasty's South Coast Plaza and Americana at Brand locations.
File this under things that could only happen in L.A.
Paradise Dynasty, the Singapore-based chain known for its signature eight-flavor xiao long bao, has teamed up with Burritos La Palma — the SoCal burrito institution whose birria de res recipe traces back over 45 years — to create a limited-edition birria soup dumpling. The Birria XLB will be available starting Monday (May 11) for a limited time at Paradise Dynasty locations.
I've eaten my weight in both soup dumplings and burritos, so naturally, I'm a fan of both.
Paradise Dynasty has been on a steady ascent as a major player in L.A.'s dumpling scene, with locations at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa and The Americana at Brand in Glendale.
Meanwhile, Burritos La Palma — known for its simple, savory burritos and finely crafted flour tortillas — has been capturing hearts and stomachs since Alberto Bañuelos opened the first eatery in L.A. in 2012. It’s since grown to several spots across L.A. and Orange County, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand award in 2024 for its high-quality, Zacatecan-style handmade flour tortilla burritos at an affordable price.
How the collab came together
So what exactly is a birria soup dumpling? A delicate wrapper, lightly packed with tender birria de res — slow-braised beef stewed in chilies and spices — juicy, savory and gone in one bite.
It all began with a call from Paradise Dynasty, when Jason Kuo, district manager for Paradise Dynasty USA, reached out to Bañuelos, calling it, simply, a perfect match between the two dishes.
Kuo said the idea came straight from the community.
"When we started asking guests and people around us what flavor they would want to see in a soup dumpling, birria kept coming up again and again — it was very clear. If we're going to do birria, it has to be done right. Burritos La Palma was the first name that came to mind."
Bañuelos was "beyond thrilled" to have been approached.
"We come from a small town in Mexico, and to be able to elevate to the level of Paradise Dynasty and that culinary perfection, I can't even really put it into words," he said.
It took months of R&D to get the right consistency. Bañuelos said the process required dialing down the moisture and upping the spice potency and landed on serving a fresh red salsa with thin slivers of serrano peppers alongside — a riff on the black vinegar and pickled ginger traditionally served with soup dumplings.
The Birria XLB's juicy interior is part of what makes it work — the dish is served with a fresh, tomato-based salsa and slivers of serrano pepper in place of the traditional black vinegar and pickled ginger.

How it tastes
I got a chance to try the dumplings ahead of the public launch and was struck by how well the combination worked. The juicy nature of birria is almost turbocharged in dumpling form, its savory, herbaceous flavors fully encapsulated in the thin skin, creating an exceptional texture in every bite. The dish hits even harder when dipped in the light tomato-based salsa — a rush of freshness that cuts through the richness, with a spike of heat from fresh serrano. (Feel free to skip the peppers if spice isn't your thing.)
But what's most impressive is how organic it all feels. This isn't fusion for fusion's sake — it's a natural meeting of two dishes that are deeply embedded in the Southern California diet, each playing to the other's strengths.
It feels like a logical meeting of the minds — birria and soup dumplings have both been part of L.A.'s culinary zeitgeist for the better part of a decade, and it makes sense that these worlds should collide.
When asked whether a collaboration like this could happen anywhere else, Bañuelos was quick: "It has to start in L.A. You just can't compete."

Nine Democratic House members from California are demanding information about how the Trump administration is treating unaccompanied migrant children who are pregnant and in federal custody.
Why now: They signed a letter last week, along with 39 other House Democrats, to Trump officials expressing their concern that the girls are not receiving adequate medical care or access to abortion.
How we got here: The letter comes in the wake of an investigation by the California and Texas Newsrooms, public media collaboratives in those states. LAist is part of The California Newsroom. The joint investigation found that the federal government is detaining pregnant migrant girls in a single group home in South Texas. Doctors and reproductive-health researchers interviewed for the investigation said prenatal care is severely limited in that region.

The joint investigation found that the federal government is detaining pregnant migrant girls in a single group home in South Texas. Doctors and reproductive-health experts interviewed for the investigation said prenatal care is severely limited in that region.
The letter says the detention violates federal regulations because the children are “entitled to the full range of medical care, including reproductive health care.”
Rep. Gil Cisneros, who represents the central San Gabriel Valley, says he worries that pregnant migrants who are apprehended in California will be put at risk if they’re sent to a part of Texas that is short on obstetric care. Of particularly concern: High-risk pregnancies are common among minors.
“If they were in California," he said, "they would be able to have more choices of the type of health care that they would get when it comes to reproductive health care.”
Rep. Judy Chu, who represents the West San Gabriel Valley, wrote in a statement that “this administration is so intent on restricting abortion that it is using immigration detention as a tool to control these girls’ bodies.”

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating how the Los Angeles Unified School District responds to educators accused of sexual misconduct with students.
Why now: The department accuses the district of maintaining a policy that “automatically” reassigns teachers to other schools when they are accused of sexual misconduct with students and cites a 2024 agreement with the teacher’s union.
The district’s policy: A Los Angeles Unified spokesperson wrote in a statement that it’s “not true” that staff being investigated for sexual misconduct are reassigned to other school sites. “‘Reassignment’ typically means an employee is directed to remain at home and away from students and schools during an investigation,” the spokesperson wrote.
LAUSD protocol related to employee misconduct says administrators must remove accused employees from their classroom or worksite whenever there is a risk to the safety of students or staff. The 110-page document also lists several other requirements for allegations related to sexual misconduct, including contacting law enforcement and the agencies that license teachers.

“‘Reassignment’ typically means an employee is directed to remain at home and away from students and schools during an investigation,” the spokesperson wrote.
United Teachers Los Angeles called the DOE's accusations a “fundamental misunderstanding” of the district’s reassignment policy.
“[Employees] are not reassigned to another classroom or to any other setting where they would interact with students,” read a statement provided by the union. “This policy protects both students and staff and creates conditions for a thorough and appropriate investigation of allegations.”
Kimberly Richey, the assistant secretary for civil rights, wrote in a statement that Title IX requires schools to address claims of sexual misconduct in a “timely manner.”
“It is unconscionable that the district would simply ignore Title IX’s procedural requirements to protect teachers who cause life-changing harm to their kids,” Richey wrote. “The Trump administration will always fight to uphold the law, protect the safety of all students and restore common sense to our schools.”

The 110-page protocol document also lists several other requirements for allegations related to sexual misconduct, including contacting law enforcement and the agencies that license teachers.
“Los Angeles Unified takes all allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment with the utmost seriousness,” a spokesperson wrote in a statement. “Our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety, dignity and well-being of every student and staff member in our care.” The statement also said the district follows Title IX procedures and continuously reviews its policies, training and reporting systems.
The UTLA settlement outlines several circumstances where an employee can be reassigned, including a law enforcement investigation of misconduct, sexual harassment of a student, behavior toward a student perceived to be motivated by a sexual interest and communicating with a student for non-school-related purposes.
A new California law requires schools to train students and staff to recognize and report misconduct and write new policies on “appropriate behavior.” It also will create a new database of educators credibly accused of abuse.
