Don&#x27;s Eatery

I've been to the LB location and after going to the Whittier location, it's safe to say that Madres…read morebrunch is my favorite brunch spot! The service was very attentive and quick, and their hospitality was exactly what I think every restaurant needs. Shoutout to our server anna! (not sure if I spelt her name right!) but she was amazing and always made sure to check up on us. My friend and I got their Mimosa flight special, Pina Colada, Strawberry pancakes, surf and turf, and Madres Chilaquiles and all were a 10/10! They even had music playing in the background and it was a vibe! The interior was very pink and they had beautiful murals all throughout the restaurant. Lots of seating and there is 2 hour parking in front! Definitely going to be back at either location :)

Madres Brunch is such a fun spot if you love creative Mexican-inspired brunch and specialty coffee…read more There were so many interesting options on the menu that we ended up ordering quite a spread to share. We tried: * Iced Latte Flight: Horchata, Abuelita, Pistachio, and Mazapan * Hot Mazapan Latte * Mimosa Flight * Mole Chilaquiles * Birria Benedict * Huevos Rancheros * The Journey Pancakes The Hot Mazapan Latte was our favorite coffee and something I would absolutely order again. The iced flight was also a great way to sample several of their flavors without having to commit to just one. For food, the Birria Benedict was the standout and easily our favorite dish. I loved the Mexican-inspired spin on a brunch classic, and the rich birria paired so well with the eggs and Benedict preparation. We also really enjoyed getting a mix of savory dishes with the Mole Chilaquiles and Huevos Rancheros before finishing with The Journey Pancakes for something sweet. Overall, Madres Brunch offers a huge variety of creative food and drinks, especially if you enjoy Mexican flavors and fun twists on traditional brunch. Definitely a place where I recommend coming hungry and ordering several things to share! Excellent service, as well.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Whittier! Met up with…read moremy cousin to catch up over breakfast, and Toast was the perfect choice. We got there without the usual long wait, which was a nice surprise! I ordered the Cali Toast with country potatoes and a Rose Latte, and everything was so good. The Cali Toast is one of my go to orders, and the Rose Latte is definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for something a little different. We sat outside, and the patio has such a relaxing vibe, perfect for lingering over coffee and good conversation. I've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places I always find myself coming back to. Great food, friendly service, and consistently a solid breakfast spot. If you're local and haven't been yet, you're missing out!

There is more outdoor seating on the covered patio than indoor seating. Both seating areas are nice. The lady who seated us was very friendly and pretty attentive and especially considering she wad handling a lot of other tables. Both the house eggs Benedict and house French toast were good. Was expecting crispy bacon on the benny considering the description, but the only difference from classic seemed to be the avocado. The benny egg and muffin were both collected well, especially the eggs they did a great job on those. Wife didn't like the flavor of the hollandaise sauce, but thought it was fine. She liked the French toast much better. You did not need syrup as the butter cream and chocolate sauce were plenty sweet on their own. Half serving is probably ok for one person, full was nice to share. The bathroom was clean, large, and single person--great for a pit stop before you head out! The mason jar waters were cool. Overall, nice local joint for a peaceful weekend or vacation breakfast. Definitely recommend giving them a try. Will be back sometime.

The cafe de olla was solid too. The food was a hit & a miss. The baguette of the sandwich was tasty & fluffy. The sandwich itself came with a delicious salsa on the side. The crepe was borderline inedible. Wayyy too much salt. I hope it was a mistake. I ordered takeout so I can't comment much on the service or ambiance. My order was quickly made during a fairly busy morning.

Our waitress, though I forgot her name, was exceptional. She greeted us when we sat at the table and gave us some good recommendations on what to try. I had the chilaquiles verdes with carne asada and they were really good! I don't usually have green chilaquiles but these were excellent. The salsa had the right amount of flavor in it paired with some potatoes and beans. I also felt it was a very big portion of food, especially for what we paid. I would say I definitely want to come back to try some of the other items on the menu here. The menu was massive with so many different things to try and it all looked really good. Everyone right down to the owner and the Bussers were super friendly and said goodbye to us as we left. It was a very heartwarming experience and that type of hospitality goes a really long way!

Although there is parking in the front, it's very limited. We later found there is much more convenient parking in the back, which I definitely recommend using. As soon as you walk in, you can tell it's a family-owned, mom-and-pop restaurant. Even though the dining area is small, it feels warm, welcoming, and comfortable. It also seems to be a favorite among the locals, which is always a good sign. The service was excellent. The staff frequently checked on us, kept our water glasses full, and happily accommodated my fiancée's special request for her meal. The food was fantastic. My fiancée ordered the Wet Burrito without the cheese on top. It came with chips, and even though they were in the sauce, they somehow stayed crispy throughout the meal. She loved every bite. I ordered the chicken and waffles with whipped cream and strawberries. The chicken was fried to perfection--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and well-seasoned throughout without being overly breaded. The waffles were delicious and paired perfectly with the toppings. We also shared a biscuit with gravy. The biscuit was soft, fluffy, and moist enough that it honestly didn't even need the gravy. That said, the gravy was rich, flavorful, and not overly salty, making it a great complement. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend giving this place a try--and don't forget to park in the back!

First off, let me explain something to everyone...this place is run by a Korean couple, and their English is limited. Their way is different from American, so cut them some slacks. The foods were ok. I just had a hamburger combo. The burger patty was char. There were plenty lettuces, but the tomato slice was super thin. The burger ok. The fries were thick and straight cut--ok. Drink is just an orange soda. It is ok, but there is one thing. Since the owners are Korean, their bbq plate should be quite good. The price is ok. I will recommend the teriyaki chicken because I am weary of the quality of their beef. If I am here again, I will try the teriyaki chicken. read more

Dons Eatery - A Hidden Gem for a Tasty Lunch! I stumbled upon Dons Eatery while looking for a quick lunch, and I'm so glad I did! This small, no-frills spot delivers big on flavor and quality. The menu is simple but well-crafted, offering fresh, delicious options that hit the spot. I ordered the tuna melt with fries and it was fantastic--juicy, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. If you're looking for a cozy, affordable lunch spot with great food, Dons Eatery is a must-try. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! read more
