I've had my fair share of pancakes and these are the very best! They are world famous for a reason. If I lived closer I'd try to get a job here just to find out how they make them. I went on a Sunday morning after dropping my son and granddaughters off at the Anime Expo not too far away. I was surprised the wait wasn't too long. And since I was alone I thought they'd be less friendly but I was wrong. The host who seated me was very nice. My server was very attentive (even tho the place was packed)! I'm just so happy I finally got to eat at Du-Par's after watching Bosch a few years ago. It's a cool place and quite nostalgic. It's a busy area and don't forget to get your parking validated for 90 minutes free! read more

Du-Par's Restaurant - Short Stack - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Used to go to Du-Par's fairly often with my Grandmother, Hadn't been to Du-Par's for nearly seventy years. Saw some posts online a while back about Du-Par's needing business, so I went to Du-Par's for lunch today. First thing I noticed is Du-Par's doesn't seem to need business. Every table was full and I had to wait around ten minutes for a table. The second thing I noticed was how noisy it was inside Du-Par's. I am probably used to restaurants in my neighborhood (Sawtelle) where even when every table is filled there is hardly ever any noise. Third thing I noticed was how long it took for the food to come, I ordered a hot turkey sandwich. It took over 30 minutes. It was almost like someone had to catch the turkey before they could make a hot turkey sandwich out of the turkey. When the sandwich came it was rather ordinary. By the time the sandwich came my only goal was to eat the sandwich as quickly as possible and get away from all the noise. I ended up with a headache from all the noise. Everyone working there was very nice. I felt sorry for them having to work in all that noise. read more

The wait for food can make you impatient while sitting waiting for food to arrive, but the place was so busy on a Sunday morning around 11 am...so its understandable. The service however is excellent and apologetic...and their attention to detail is amazing. For instance our server, placed two spoons on the small bowl containing the packaged creamers...one facing me, one spoon facing my companion. Same goes for how he placed the coffee cup and tea cup, with the handles facing to the right. Except of course of you are left handed, but still....great attention to detail. The breakfasts are impressively good. I asked for crispy hash browns, and theywere. The scrambled eggs were perfectly hard scrambled. Just as I asked for. Exemplary service. You pay with credit card at reception...I paid and left. A server chased me with my sunglasses and cell phone as I was luckily still standing outside the rear door having also forgotten to get validation for parking. Thank you for going the extra mile in delivering my important personal items. All the servers should get a raise. Service 10/5. They represent the best part of Du-pars. read more

We have been going to Du-Par's for more than 20 years and it is always great. We don't go as often anymore because parking is a bear as is the traffic around there, but each time we go we say we can't wait to come back. They have pies for days. They have a great selection of pies and baked goods. Their strawberry pie is very popular. All their pastries are great and you can eat there or take home a whole pie or bag of muffins. The place is just so cute, clean and comfortable. It does get very crowded on the weekends so I would avoid those days. The wait is just too long for us. I don't think they take reservations. The service is great. They can take a bit of time when it is packed but once you have a server they are nice, fast and kind. We love their breakfast and I can eat any of their muffins, but my favorite thing there is the chicken pot pie. It is just perfect. It has the best crust. You will be happy with anything you get. It is part of Farmer's Market. read more

A MUST GO!! Delicious food, great service, kitchen feel and the historic 1930s atmosphere. I want to give you food pics but we ate everything! My favorite was the crab cake eggs Benedict. My nieces shared the Nutella pancakes and were very happy people. Their sausages are cooked in such a way they maximize the searing flavor and Woa boy does it deliver! Highly recommended and can't wait to go back. read more

Du-Par's is such a LA classic. I've gone many times now to dine in and also just for carry out. Not to mention, they have a ton of baked goods you can order right from their stand within the Original Farmer's Market at the Grove. The thickest brownies you will ever see for $6.75 can be found here! Like I'm talking HUGE brownies like you've never seen before. It's so indulgent with chocolate frosting on top and at the price~ It doesn't even make sense, it's amazing. Even if you don't have time for a full dine-in, this bakery/togo section is money. Du-Par's is known for their pancakes and it's truth, their hot cakes are hot. Everything I've had at Du-Par's has always been great. Plus, they are always doing fun & trendy items, plus items themed for various holidays. Dodgers winning? They have TONS of goodies for that. Mother's Day this weekend? Yep, meals and even collectible cups can be had for the day of celebrating mamas. It's pretty wild how they have so many fun items for every cool day. Because Du-Par's is an institution in this city, it will always have a line. Even if kinda slowly, it does move as they seat & rotate tables out, so just buck up, buttercup. Always a great experience at Du-Par's and I'll be back many times over. read more

Du-par serves up decent food and it tastes even better when you eat with friends! I enjoyed my Bacon Avocado Omelette and Hash-browns. Condiments like ketchup and Tabasco are on the table. The farmer's market has a lot of restaurants and I was hangry after the 3K walk. The table ordered Fish and Chips & the Gluten Free Egg White Omelette. The French fries were tasty. There was a bit of a wait but it goes by fast when you chit chat with your besties! read more

I am not a huge fan of coffee shops but Dupars is a classic place to get a snack albeit not very healthy or necessarily good for you. The pies are good enough to take to someone's house for dessert but they have become very pricy as everything has. I like it here nonetheless and it's very kitschy and a blast from the past. read more

Today we went to try the famous pancakes at DuPars. The service was nice, the restaurant is a little dated but the service was really good. The Famous Buttermilk Pancakes are pretty amazing they are fluffy and a few had crispy edges. They certainly were the highlight of the breakfast. The brand of turkey sausage that they use I didn't find tasty and the hash-browns were not cooked hard enough for me they were still like undone as far as I'm concerned...they were cooked but I'd like them a little more crispy...everything was a little bland as far as that goes but you know they had salt and pepper on the table which helped. I will give them another try as the pancakes were really tasty. read more

Rested inside of the grove off 3rd and gilmore. Very eclectic diner vibe. They have you wait in line and seat you based on whose first. They have 3 chairs you can sit in while you wait but make sure you are seated in order bc otherwise people behind you will get seated before you. We had a weird experience where an older woman behind us sat next to me but closer to the "front" and she got seated before us. Super strange she didnt say a word about it. So be mindful of that bc the host doesn't really pay attention to who was really there first. And unfortunately he was very rude when confronted, basically yelled at us told us we can leave if we want to bc we weren't happy with what had happened. His behavior was super unprofessional, very disappointing. Anyway the servers turned it around bc they were incredibly attentive and hospitable. 10/10 for the service staff. Now the food: 1. Pancakes do not disappoint 100/10 absolutely a must here. The chocolate strawberry are choc chip pancakes with strawberries on top. GET THESE 2. Smores pancakes are a lot lol also delicious but very decadent. 3. Hashbrowns 10/10 perfectly crispy yet soft in center 4. Bacon 10/10 thin and crispy. Cooked well 5. Rootbeer float 10/10 Honestly everything we had was delicious. Stood up to the hype. My only qualm was really with the host bc its their job to set the tone. read more

My boss organized what was supposed to be a beautiful Mother's Day outing for 17 women. The plan was breakfast at Du-Par's followed by a movie, and everyone was genuinely excited. Unfortunately, the experience at Du-Par's completely changed the tone of the day. Twelve of us were seated at a table near the bakery counter, while the remaining guests in our party were placed far away in a separate booth. We politely asked if we could use the empty booth directly next to our table so our group could be closer together. The answer was a very firm "NO." We then asked to speak with a manager and were told no manager was available. We asked for a shift lead and were told the same thing -- no one was available. It was extremely frustrating because the booth remained empty while we continued trying to find a simple solution. What made the situation worse was that one of my coworkers, who speaks fluent Spanish, overheard staff members saying, "Those people think they are getting their way," followed by comments indicating they were intentionally refusing to accommodate us. At that point, the issue no longer felt like policy -- it felt personal and disrespectful. After multiple failed attempts to resolve something so minor, our group decided to leave. And leave we did. Du-Par's lost a party that would have easily spent over $1,500 because of poor customer service and unwillingness to make a reasonable accommodation. I had never been to Du-Par's before and had always heard great things. Sadly, after this experience, I'll be removing it from my bucket list. Great food may bring people in, but terrible customer service sends them right back out the door. read more

My first time at Du-par's, I decided to try their homemade "favorite" (their word, not mine) the chicken pot pie. It looked enormous at first glance, but when you dig into it, the dish is shallow so nothing I couldn't handle. I'm not sure why this is a favorite amongst anyone since there's more flavor in a frozen, Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie than what I was served. It's okay and nothing to write home about - just like their service. read more

Du-Par's Restaurant - Meh Chicken Pot Pie - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Du-Par's was another stop on my mom's and my unofficial "Bosch tour," inspired by Michael Connelly's books--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is a true LA landmark, tucked into the Original Farmers Market. Bonus points for easy parking: you can get it validated if you buy or eat anything in the market. Once we parked, we joined the line outside Du-Par's. There were probably about 10 tables ahead of us, but the wait flew by--around 20 minutes total--and the weather was nice, so it didn't feel like a hassle at all. Inside, the vibe is classic old-school diner in the best way. The servers wear suit jackets, and the whole place feels like a time capsule of old LA. They had several monthly specials, including Valentine's Day pancakes, which was fun to see. Since Bosch is always talking about Du-Par's famous pancakes, we had to try them. We ordered a short stack (three pancakes) and also shared the chicken pot pie, which sometimes sells out. Neither disappointed. The pancakes were soft, airy, and perfectly comforting--served with syrup and just done right. My mom isn't even a pancake person, and she said they were delicious, which says a lot. The chicken pot pie had a beautifully flaky crust and was packed with plenty of chicken and veggies--super satisfying. I also had an iced coffee, which was exactly what you'd expect from a classic diner (no complaints there). Service was quick, and our server was friendly and efficient. All around, Du-Par's is a great spot--whether you're a Bosch fan, an LA history lover, or just someone looking for excellent comfort food in a timeless setting. Would happily come back. read more

Very cute restaurant, lots of outdoor seating with shade. Definitely a plus since the patio is dog friendly though they do not offer dogs water at least they didn't for us. Pancakes were delicious, my friends got the huge Cinnamon roll saying it was really good. Salmon Benedict was PERFECT. Unfortunately the only thing I didn't like was the Monte Cristo. The bread was just soft french toast, meat was dry and the "jam" was donut filling from next door. So the only thing I wouldn't recommend on the menu. But the service was good and not to bad of all price. read more

I like a restaurant that's been around since 1938.they know what they're doing.they know how to make food taste good. I love their fresh squeezed orange juice you can taste bits of orange's in the juice.and everything else is like old fashioned cooking.it just taste good. read more

Everything was top-notch, from the service to the atmosphere and food! They warmly welcome you and seat you promptly. The interior reminds me of a cozy grandmother's dining room, creating a very welcoming and comfortable ambiance. My sister and her family were visiting from Denmark and wanted to see some "Bosch" filming locations. We decided on a weekday brunch before exploring Hollywood. This was the perfect spot! They have a large menu with many classic dishes. I ordered a chicken-fried steak with hash browns and two eggs, which were cooked perfectly. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft inside - a perfect texture! Many places overcook them, but not here. The chicken-fried steak used an 8 oz USDA Prime New York Strip, a much higher quality cut than the typical cube steak used elsewhere. It was delicious, even though it was different from what I'm used to. I requested fresh salsa, and although they offered hot sauce initially, I wanted something homemade. They had the cook prepare some of their in-house salsa, which had a great balance of spice and flavor. It perfectly complemented the dish. We also ordered pancakes, and Du-Par's lived up to their reputation for big, fluffy ones! They were fantastic. I would rate Du-Par's lower if I had paid the bill, as it was quite expensive. We were treating my sister and her family, but they insisted on paying. The bill was hefty, especially considering almost $40 for a country-fried steak. I give the food, service, and atmosphere a 5/5. This is the perfect diner for hosting family and friends, especially those visiting from out of town. The prices are steep, even for this tourist area, but we would definitely return in the future. read more

Born and raised in LA and this is my first time at Du-Pars. I actually came to try their famous pancakes. Happy to say it didn't disappoint. What really stands out to me compared to all the other pancakes at other diners is how fluffy and buttery the pancakes are. I tried to full stack but couldn't even put a dent it in it. So I'd go with the short stack! Is the best diner pancake? I'd say it's up there...top 5 for sure. Other places that stand out are cafe telegrams and Russell's The service was good seeing that there were only 2 wait staff. It's definitely a no frills diner which I can appreciate read more

So nice to be back for breakfast at Du-Par's. We've been sorely missing the experience since they closed their Studio City location, and it's rare that we get to the Farmer's Market early enough for breakfast -- but yesterday we did, and boy were we glad about it. The restaurant maintains its mid-century Los Angeles charm with spruced up, retro coffee shop decor in dark reds and browns that create a warm and comforting atmosphere. Service is friendly, though they seemed a tad understaffed and our poor waiter was being run a bit ragged tending to so many tables with just one busboy to help. They did the best they could, but management should try to have a few more people on the floor. My wife ordered the French Toast, her favorite. Drizzled with melted butter and dusted with powdered sugar, this is one of the best versions of this morning stalwart in the city. I opted for their signature Buttermilk Pancakes, and was thrilled to find they have maintained their quality through all the changes. These hotcakes came out scorching hot, which is great -- they're crispy at the edges, fluffy in the center, and packed with all the right morning flavors. Melted butter and maple syrup slowly seep into the cakes, and they become sweet and savory through and through. I added a side of bacon, which was crisp without being petrified, so the full flavor was there to be enjoyed. I don't know that our schedule will allow us to come in any more often, but it's nice to know that when we do we'll find great food and a familiar experience just like we remember. read more

Old school cafe at the Farmers Market. We stopped in here because we wanted to dine inside rather than outside. I was only wanting to try the pie and my son ordered a burger and fries. Looking around, I can see lots of families and it looks like a place that locals come to. It's not a large location but very homey. The service was good. The pie is actually really small! But still good. Parking in the Farmers Market area is decent. read more

In my attempt to revisit older establishments, friends and I went in on a Sunday to get some pancakes. Oddly enough, I come here often but have not gotten the pancakes because I already knew them to be good. I retried them again, and I was wrong. They were excellent! They were better than I remembered: soft, velvety, moist and airy through out. I have once again been schooled. Our server was friendly and charming. Spoke a bit of French to me and I got to practice my French by speaking back. Second story- I am in charge of doing the office parties and one of my coworkers requested pies and not a cake for his birthday. Went to Dupar's to get one of their famous pies which were available to purchase in their outdoor counter. Pies we ordered (berries) were so good! read more

After spending some time roaming around the Grove it was time to eat, so we headed into the food market for some lunch with absolutely no sense of direction. Located towards the back wall of the market, sits a pretty large diner looking establishment called Du-Par's Restaurant! Originally we walked by and saw the giant case of pies, cakes, and cookies and when my wife was curious about the pie, we wandered into the dining area and ended up just getting some lunch. The menu here is pretty much "diner standard" as it features all types of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options to make pretty much anyone leave satisfied. Even though I'm not usually one to order breakfast after 10AM, I couldn't resist ordering the Country Fried Chicken with Scrambled Eggs and Hashbrowns. The wait did take a little long, but it was a very busy Sunday afternoon so it's to be expected. When the food came out it was super hot and ready to be consumed. The scrambled eggs were the real deal and tasted as they should and the same can go for the standard breakfast hashbrowns. The country fried chicken was pretty solid as well, though I will say the flavour was pretty copy and paste to all similar establishments, though I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, it just didn't stand out and was only average. Overall, Du-Par's Restaurant might not of been the best diner I've been too in the city, but environment was solid, the staff was very friendly, and the food was satisfying and tasted pretty solid. read more

Du-Par's is constantly discussed in regards to the top pancakes in Los Angeles and I wanted to make a trip over there after passing by it for years. As this is a mall with overly pricey parking filled with guests can make it hard to find specifically by Du'pars. I thought the service was fine and it was a pretty cozy restaurant. Although the pancakes were good along with the other items we ordered, it gets pretty expensive and not quite worth it as there are no pancake plates so other items are à la carte. read more

Ugh. Slowest. Service. Ever. My friend from New York really wanted to go here because it is considered an L.A. icon as well as the Farmer's Market. It was not busy, there were plenty of servers, yet we waited and waited and waited. Waited to order, while servers talked, waited a long time for our food, while the servers talked, no one checked on us at all during our meal so I had to go find someone to give me more coffee, and then we had to find someone to give us our check. It wasn't busy enough that would be a useable excuse either. The food was also kind of mediocre. Basically, living on a legend and I guess doesn't have to try very hard for tourist base maybe. I won't be going back. read more

Either way, all in all it was a better than average outing at this Old School Los Angeles institution. read more

I'm so sad because I wanted to like this place but 2 hours after I ate this for brunch, I started feeling a headache and weak. I took a nap and woke up with a nauseous feeling and while driving I felt the need to roll the windows down for air from the feeling of wanting to throw up. This was the only thing I ate all day and I'm 100% certain I got FOOD POISONING from either the salmon or egg. I forced myself to sleep at night for the feeling to go away and woke up w my stomach signaling me to use the restroom and was on it for a while. Ive been in bed all day feeling weak and nauseous. Can't believe I paid $50+ just to get sick the next day ... it was so upsetting to piece the puzzle together and was easy to since I didn't eat anything but this as it ruined my stomach. read more

*For reference, the pancakes and egg plate were roughly 42 dollars total which I shared with my younger brother. I purchased the OJ somewhere else. 2 EGGS WITH BACON 6/10: The two eggs with bacon and hash browns were great! However, the main reason why I knocked down the rating was because of the price point. PANCAKES 3/10: I would like to preface that I have been coming to Du-Par's since I was three and I used to LOVE their pancakes. They were the fluffiest and were amazing with the maple syrup. Now, I find that they are doughy and are not worth the price. Sadly, while Du-Par's will always stand as a nostalgic diner, I don't think I will be coming back. NOTES-- - Du-Par's has kept the interior the same for the past 20 years so it does feel a little outdated. read more

Recently my colleagues and I were talking about classic LA Diners. Du-Par's came up and my response was it was just ok. I was in the area and decided to check out Du-Par's. It's been over 35 years since I've been to a Du-Par's. I was seated immediately and greeted by my food server. I ordered an iced tea and a bacon avocado omelette. Outstanding service. Fast and efficient. They serve the best iced tea in a glass with mint and freshly sliced lemon. My omelette and hash browns were delicious. Classic greasy spoon diner food. They were packed around 2pm on a week day. They validate parking. I highly recommend Du-Par's at Farmers Market on 3rd street. read more
