Madres Brunch - Pistachio latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whittier, California

We were looking for a brunch place that was open after 2pm and this gem on a Sunday afternoon. We walked in and while it was kinda busy were helped soon. We ordered all kinds of food and everything we had was good. The restaurant is clean and has a cool vibe, not super Instagramable but not bad. We also got two margaritas they were good and strong! The food was the best part! read more

I really wanted to love this place because the space itself is adorable and the reviews had me pretty excited to try it. The atmosphere is definitely cute and very photo-worthy. I ordered the chilaquiles rojos along with a dulce de leche latte. Unfortunately, the chilaquiles just didn't quite hit the mark for me flavor-wise. I usually love chilaquiles and order them often, so I had high expectations, but these felt like they were missing the depth and balance of flavor I was hoping for. The latte was better and had a nice creamy flavor, though it leaned a little too sweet for my personal taste. I could see it being perfect for someone who enjoys sweeter coffee drinks. Overall, while the aesthetic and vibe were great, the food itself didn't fully live up to the hype for me. read more

OMG SO GOOD! It's like being back in Mexico! From the outside, to be honest, it looks kinda weird but once you sit down and start eating, it all makes sense. The colors, the music, the energy, it all comes together as a vibe. Love it! Food and drinks are absolutely incredible. Plus they open earlier than the other restaurants in the area. That's how we found it. Lol. Service is amazing and the place is spotless clean. Instead of the 5 second rule, you can apply the 5 minute rule here. Hahahaha. So happy to have a new go to breakfast place in Whittier. Enjoy! read more

I went to madres brunch in uptown Whittier couple times now. I enjoy the food I usually get the chilaquiles "the green ones are my favorite". Also tried the birria sandwich, parfait and pancakes. The coffee is a hit and miss I feel like I haven't found one that I really like. The hot chocolate is so good!! Location is not that big but they do have several tables. The only thing is that sometimes they do take a little long to take out the food but I understand they are busy for the most part. read more

Came to Madres Brunch in Whittier with my family after a friend highly recommended it, and I have to say -- they were absolutely right! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the great energy and positive vibes. The atmosphere is welcoming, lively, and just puts you in a good mood right away. The service was awesome -- friendly, attentive, and on point the entire time. And the food? Excellent. My compliments to the chef! Everything we ordered was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The variety on the menu is impressive -- honestly, it made me want to order more than one plate because everything looked so good. If you're in the Whittier area, do yourself a favor and stop by. I guarantee you won't regret it. Highly recommended! read more

First time visiting here, I had a great experience; the manager Jazmine greeted us at the door with a great smile and attitude while checking on everyone, the server Ana explained everything and offered advice, we got our mimosa flight of lychee, peach and lavender with a sugar rim, hell yeah, we got some quesabirria and mole chiliaquillas plus these fluffy delicious chocolate pancakes with almonds strawberries chocolate sauce and chocolate ice cream, to top it off I had an iced horchata with oat milk and a latte with oat milk. The atmosphere was very friendly and I didn't feel the need to call anyone down. Thank you to everyone who made it a great experience. read more

Madres was really cute. The mole chilaquiles had nice flavor however they were a little dry. I like a saucy chilaquile. We also ordered the oatmeal and that was gorgeous! Oh my gosh, so many yummy topping like nuts and fruits. The staff were very nice and attentive. Over all, I do recommend this restaurant. Perhaps for me, I'll request extra sauce on my chilaquiles to suit my taste. read more

Took myself on a breakfast date and found Madres Brunch on Yelp! The restaurant was good mom and pop. I would definitely come back to try other options on the menu. It was my first time and the restaurant is in a good location with parking in front and behind. I ordered the mole chilaquiles which were flavorful with a small little kick of spice. The service took a bit long to order which I would recommend being patient. Overall I had a good experience and worth checking out if you're craving chilaquiles. read more

SOOOOO GOOD! Got the matcha waffles, so delicious. Their chilaquiles SOOOO GOOD. Everything was so tasty. The servers were not very attentive so unfortunately we did not tip. We were neglected after being sat down. It was a week day so it was nice and quiet and the seating was pretty fast. It was all perfect except for the neglect of the servers! Thank you! read more

Location is nice and big. Food is had was average. I tried the green chilaquiles with steak. It was not what I expected. The tortilla on th chilaquiles were a little soggy and food was not hot. Drinks were great! Wish they wouldn't charge $7 more for the steak on the chilaquiles. Service was awesome! No complaints there. If Food quality was better, I'd give it 5 stars! read more

I ordered the divorciados. The menu made it sound appetizing but the everything was bland and meh. They could've served a whole baked potato but it was a half of potato that was over cooked and dried out. Parking can be hard since it's uptown but park down the street and walk a few blocks. Customer service was pleasant. read more

I ordered chilaquiles and was asked how I wanted my egg. When thy came out there was no egg with my order. They were too spicy for my taste buds. I wish they had a breakfast burrito. The flavor wasn't bad but too much chile for me to enjoy. read more

Stopped by for brunch and started with a Pacífico Michelada. The server asked if he could pour it for me, which was a nice touch and appreciated. Ordered the Steak & Eggs, a 10oz flat iron steak, two sunny side up eggs, country potatoes, and toast. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, but lacked a strong sear and needed a bit more seasoning for my taste. I found myself adding salt to bring out the flavor. The sunny side up eggs were cooked well, with set whites and rich, runny yolks that paired nicely with the steak and potatoes. The country potatoes had a good texture, soft on the inside with crispy skin, but also needed a little more seasoning to really stand out. The chile de árbol salsa had a nice kick and helped add some much needed flavor to the plate. Toast was okay. The slices were a bit thick, so the center stayed too soft and did not get as crispy as I prefer. Overall, the brunch was decent and executed well texture wise, but leaned a bit bland for my preference and needed extra seasoning to really shine. read more

The service and food here alone deserves 5 stars. Seemed like they are known for their chilaquiles, and it did not disappoint. For the price, the portions are fairly hefty so make sure to come on an empty stomach. I got birria on the side because they initially forgot to add it until I asked, and the birria was tender and good. The pistachio latte here is a bit sweet, so I personally wouldn't order it again, but definitely would come back for the food. Fyi, theres a parking lot with 3 hours free parking behind the restaurant which has less flowing traffic compared to the street, so I would park there. read more

Cute vibes. Came for breakfast on a Sunday and we were seated immediately. Upon leaving, there was a crowd waiting outside to be seated so they seem to get real busy after 12pm. I love the variety drink options from coffee flights to mimosa flights. I opted for their special of the day which was the Ferrer Roche Latte and it was so good! As for the food, it was mainly sweet breakfast options. We got to try the french toast, waffles, and chilaquiles. They did mess up on one of our orders but they made it right and removed it from the tab. Overall, the service was quick and they were welcoming. Cute breakfast/brunch spot for the family or even a girls brunch. read more

Will definitely be back to try different items on the menu. read more

When hubby is off midweek and we have time we love stepping out for brunch. This time I was craving Madres' Mole Chilaquiles so we drove in & it was worth the wait! I had the chilaquiles & hubby had the Popeye Omelette with a side of hash browns, which had a whole different spin from the traditional hash browns. These were a little mushy and red from the salsa mixed in... regardless they were delicious! I had an Affogato coffee (YUM!) and an Oat Milk Horchata Latte, perfection. The ambiance was fun with people drinking misosas enjoying the yummy food. The service was always fast and friendly. read more

Ambiance: -different vibe than the other location, this felt a little more like old town feels and vibes Service: -prompt, friendly, and lovely staff! Overall: -Madres is a solid brunch spot that's on our rotation! ...and I just found out a new one opened up that's even CLOSER to me so...look alive for the third review! read more

Food is always hard to review because everyone's palette is different. It was our first time here but I don't think we will be going back. It was expensive for what it was. Portion size was good but the food was ok. The house coffee was horrible it tasted burnt, my husband had the Mexican coffee and he said there was a weird after taste. The service was good. Staff was polite but didn't really check on you. And nothing like having a waiter blow his nose and not wash his hands after, just continued to serving his customers. The ambiance was colorful. read more

Food was good, I'd recommend the mimosas for brunch! Came for a friends bday and my only issue was one of the female workers meddled in a convo & laughed off an insult. Not professional at all. Felt this was very rude considering she was implying an insult to the birthday girl. The waiter was nice and helpful. I'd say it was a 6 out of 10 for this experience. read more

Stop by on a Monday. The restaurant was not too busy and we were immediately greeted by the bus boy. Server came and I ordered the red chilaquiles with an extra scrambled egg and my husband was stuck between the breakfast sandwich and the Popeye, he chosed the popeye. We also ordered egg and hash brown plate for our kids with added pancakes. For drinks we ordered an iced horchata latte and a regular latte. The presentation of the chilaquiles was very nice However the chilaquiles were very dry and the beans tasted straight like out of the can. My husband plate came with a side of queso panela and as soon as he took a bite he spited it out, the cheese had gone bad and tasted extremely bitter and sour. It smelled funky too, I don't know how the kitchen didn't realize it was expired before sending out the plate. We couldn't get the servers attention so we asked the bus boy if he could call her over and he did and we explained what was going on and to ask for a different plate.Her only response was "I'll tell the manager" took the plate and left. His sandwich came out and the mixed green salad was dark and looked old as if it had been in the cooler for more than a week. At that point we just asked for the check because clearly something is not going right in that kitchen. They are not checking their product for freshness. The server brought the check and told us that $3.50 had been discounted from his sandwich! The manager never stopped by the table to check on us or apologize for the mistake, and I get it mistakes can happen but serving any form of expired dairy can cause food borne illnesses immediately. What if it was a child that ate that cheese? Please do better!!! The only positive from the place were the lattes and the bus boys attention! read more

We were seated at 11:20 and food didn't serve until 12:05... very inefficient, the waiters and waitresses were all over the place but no food served. All the tables were waiting for their food. We told them to cancel our orders if food were not made, then suddenly the cinnamon toast came, we then had to wait for another fifteen minutes to get the waffles. Food was cold, the latte was always just warm not hot. Sorry, won't come back again to this place. read more

It's located in a quaint little old town looking area in Whittier, street parking available. Our first impression was that the vibe was a day club x 1980s diner, IG ready backgrounds x Betty boop mural, quite an interesting combo. We ordered the birria omelette and wanted to order the Los Cubanos which they didn't have so instead we got the Ranchero. The food was good but a little under seasoned for our taste, but easily adjusted by adding some condiments/hot sauce. Flat white is on par with what is expected from a brunch spot. Service was good but our wait for food was about 25 minutes. read more

We came in for Mother's Day brunch. Put ourselves on the waiting list 2 hours ahead and still had to wait another 35 after checking in. Everyone is very nice, our server was very busy but attentive and other servers are very willing and accommodating to bring you whatever that you ask for. I've been to the Madre's in Placentia before and I do have to say the food portions are way bigger at that location But also it isn't his crowded is the one here in uptown Whittier. The ambience is like any other brunch spot very busy and loud. The food. I can't say one bad thing about this place!! although this portions are smaller the food is the same. The birria Chilaquiles, Birria omelette and birria breakfast sandwich 10/10! read more

30 minutes after taking my order and still no water served. I had to get up and ask and no straws given. By the time we got our food it's cold. I had to ask to remake the plates. I imagine they had been sitting and nobody picked them up until 30 minutes later when our plates were brought to the table. The only thing to make up for it is the warm ish waffle and it was just ok.Service made me feel neglected. Definitely won't be coming back EVER.Would rate 0 stars if I could hype doesn't match quality. The food was bad, even the salsa wasn't good the meat was ok and the beans were ok and that's it. The eggs were another disappointment. You're better off going to ihop for a better and cheaper meal. read more

I had brunch here with my bf and friend and were greeted promptly. Plenty of seating inside, cute decor, tables and seating were spacious and not uncomfortable. Service was great and the staff was very attentive. Now for the food... I generally love chilaquiles and trying them from different spots. I was excited to try them here but was a little underwhelmed. I ordered the Madres Chilaquiles, which is chilaquiles rojos with birria and beans on top. The birria and consome was a little bland I had to add more salt to it, which honestly says a lot because I'm a light salt type of gal. The sauce on chilaquiles tasted familiar like they used pato sauce, which is fine, but if I'm going to a restaurant I would hope they made their own especially for this price. It felt like it was missing something. An egg might have balanced the dish out but it doesn't come with it and you have to pay extra to add. It was dry even after I poured the consome on top. My bf got the lomo saltado chilaquiles. He said it actually was spicy but the steak was not that great. He would not order again for $25. The only part he liked was the chilaquiles. The pistachio waffle had the aesthetic but lacked balance. The waffle itself was pretty sweet but on the drier side for how thick it was and was hard to cut. Ice cream was included but wasn't enough moisture to balance the dryness of the waffle. It could have used more syrup but it would have just made it way too sweet. I love pistachios and was so excited to try this but I was so disappointed with it. We tried the cold brew flight and was not a fan. I couldn't taste any of the cold brew. The foam wasn't that creamy foam texture I enjoy, and the sweetness was too articifial. The only thing I liked was the banana chips on one of them. I would honestly give this place 3 stars, but because the service was really good I gave them 4 overall. read more

I got the chilaquiles verdes and added chicken and an extra egg. The chilaquiles tasted amazing and the chicken was very good quality. The price for the chicken was expensive. It was an extra $7 and the extra egg was $2. But overall I did love the food, just a little pricey! read more

We came in on Sunday after service because it was the closest brunch spot to the church, and we were excited to try it. Unfortunately, we left very disappointed with the quality and taste of the food. The chilaquiles were extremely dry and almost tasted stale, and the chicken was very chewy and unpleasant to eat. The pancakes and French toast were overly sweet--so much sugar that it overpowered any real flavor. I also ordered an iced vanilla latte, and it was not good at all; it tasted like watered-down coffee with barely any vanilla flavor. That being said, the customer service was great. The ladies were very attentive, friendly, and consistently checked on us, which we truly appreciated. However, despite the good service, the food and drinks were not enjoyable, and I wouldn't recommend this place based on our experience. read more

My husband and I decided to try this spot for brunch today. It was a 25 minute wait, so we got on the waitlist and walked around for a bit. Once our table was ready they gave us a call. We were then seated and had our order taken shortly after. I ordered the Birria Benedict with an Iced Strawberry Horchata, while my husband tried their Madres Chilaquiles with a Horchata Iced Latte. The menu here is pretty unique, and has a lot of interesting choices. I think the food is very good, while my husband thinks it's good but not great. He says the birria is inconsistent, with some of it being satisfyingly tender, but other parts dry and chewy. He also feels it needs more salt and flavor. We both like the composition of the dishes though, and we both think the drinks are delicious. The prices here are high, but the location is in Uptown Whittier, so that's to be expected. On the other hand, the portions are pretty generous, even for a breakfast/brunch spot. Our waitress, Cari, was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The restaurant atmosphere however is a bit lacking. It feels crowded and clinical. They could use more greenery, and just an overhaul on the general vibe to be more homey/authentic. Overall, this place is good! We will definitely come back soon to try their sweeter food offerings! read more
