It's all about customer service for me. Despite the parking challenges, I was open minded. I was here meeting a friend. She literally was parking her car and they wouldn't sit me. "Everyone needs to be here." Had it been a party of 4, I'd get it. So if I were a party of one would my table be any smaller? No! So why? After we ate, they rush you to leave. The busboy even said "there are people waiting to sit!" What the heck? I'm a foodie, always looking for new places to eat. This was my 3rd place (the others were restaurants) for the weekend alone. Lots of places have good food, some may be better than others. It's all about how you are treated. Would I go back? Nope. read more

There seems to never be a time or day where Millie's isn't packed. People love it and for a good reason too. While this location isn't the most ideal spot (terrible parking, nowhere to wait, primarily outdoor seating), the service is fast and the food is good. I ordered their breakfast burrito which was about $16 and a single order of their banana walnut pancake for $7.50. To be honest, for the price I was not super impressed by the food. Yes it was good, but not hype worthy in my opinion. I was slightly disappointed about the pancake. I was expecting all the toppings to be mixed into the batter, but it was just in the center of the pancake... The breakfast burrito was tasty with their tomatillo salsa and the eggs were fluffy which I enjoyed. I might come back in the future to try their other menu options, but for now I'm not itching to make another visit. read more

Stopped by here on a busy afternoon to grab some lunch. They were pretty busy the outside seating was pretty full. So they offered me a seat at the bar. Which was a vibe along with the music and great good. Seeing my food being prepared right in front of me was pretty cool. Yet again the food here was Delicious and made to Perfection. I was even offered a to-go drink with my to go box. Such a sweet hidden gem. Definitely recommend. read more

Let me start with the service is 10/10, everyone is very personable, attentive, fast, and friendly! The food is very good, the coffee is strong, and the matcha has nice flavor! I got the chilaquiles Egg Benedict, best sauce and flavor, although it could have used more barbacoa, but the flavor and portion was perfect! The buckwheat pancake was top! The blueberry matcha is 10/10, definitely coming back many times! This was a good experience! read more

Millie's Cafe - Usual classic with French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

"Peak LA, With a Side of Street Grime" Millie's is the kind of joint that's been around long enough to earn respect -- the walls (and sidewalks) tell stories. Unfortunately, so does the dog poop sitting five feet from your blueberry pancakes. We came for brunch on a Sunday, which is basically Silver Lake's version of Times Square. The place was slammed, with diners packed elbow-to-elbow along a narrow strip of sidewalk sandwiched between honking traffic and parked Priuses. My view? A shuttered Baskin-Robbins that felt like a metaphor for my dwindling expectations. Now, to be fair: the staff was awesome. Hustling nonstop, friendly, and efficient despite the brunch chaos. Respect where it's due -- they're keeping the train on the tracks. Food? Solid. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs -- steak was a bit overcooked and the breading leaned more egg wash than crisp, but it was still hearty and satisfying. My girlfriend's blueberry pancakes had more crunch than fluff, but still got the job done. Pistachio lattes? Fantastic. Creamy, nutty, exactly what you'd hope for in a neighborhood café with baristas who know what they're doing. The vibe? Peak Silver Lake -- tattoos, tiny dogs, and people who look like they DJ in their living rooms. Would I come back? Yeah... but only if I'm sitting inside. I like brunch, but I draw the line at dining curbside next to a steaming sidewalk surprise. read more

Flew back to California and Mille's Cafe was our first stop. It just had to be! It's nice to go to a familiar place where you feel welcomed, recognized and comfortable. As always, the food was on point! It never disappoints!!! Looking forward to visiting again in November. read more

Getting to this spot, we saw a MASSIVE line out front. I guess this place recently went viral or something so naturally all the Post - Teens in LA are going there. I will absolutely commend them for how creative and well presented their drinks are. I had like a black vanilla coffee, and it was pretty good. To eat, I had some kind of like... slut breakfast sandwich. They do breakfast sandwiches incredibly well. Side of rosemary potato's are good, but I prefer them crispy. Anyway, they're popular, the popularity is deserved, and they crank out food FAST. great spot to stop at to fuel up for the Hollywood sign hike. read more

I've been here a couple of times now. The first visit was a few years ago when I was craving pancakes, and while everything was solid, nothing really stood out. I came back recently in the mood for a classic diner-style breakfast and ordered pancakes with sausage, eggs, and hash browns. The pancakes were good, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood spot, especially if you're nearby read more

The guy in the front who was working 6/2/26 around 12pm that i picked my food up from was very rude, & was yelling at my sister. Very disappointing customer service. We came to pick up our takeout order and were met by an employee who was yelling at us. No customer should be spoken to that way. The experience was uncomfortable enough that we'll think twice before ordering from here again since that was our first time ever trying the place! The interaction made us feel unwelcome and left a negative impression. We hope management addresses customer service and communication with guests. read more

Came on a morning, the service was quick and great ! I always enjoy coming here, I've always done the chilequiles , decided to try the usual with the blueberry pancakes was not disappointed so tasty! Also, if you need to pick me up, get the pistachio latte, it was divine read more

Millie's Cafe - USUAL BREAKFAST COMBO sooo yummy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were visiting our son last summer and tried their Pasadena location. Hubby has been craving their Chilaquiles so when we visited again, he wanted to head back. Well, son moved to the west side...fortunately this original location is a little closer so we headed here. It was a hot day but we had our dogs so we sat outside. They have a nice setup with umbrellas so it wasn't too bad. We sat down and asked for two coffees which we quickly had to cancel upon looking at the menu. They have a nice array of specialty coffees and drinks. I am lactose intolerant so I love that so many restaurants now have non milk alternatives. I ordered the Blueberry Oat Matcha Latte. Now I rarely order Eggs Benedict out because hubby makes a perfectly poached yummy hollandaise Eggs Benedict with sautéed spinach, bacon and avocado but he hasn't made it in a while so I ordered the California Benedict adding sautéed spinach. I get nervous ordering poached eggs out because often times the chef overcooks the eggs. I need to have the yolk oozing out when I cut into the egg. Well, needless worry. Eggs were perfect! Loved my meal! Can't wait to come back again! read more

It's a small restaurant with the majority of the seating being outdoors, but when in LA the weather is always nice to sit outside. Just remember that it is in Sunset Blvd which is a busy street. The coffee menu has a good selection and the coffee, matcha and chai all tasted great! Highly recommend anything off the coffee menu. We all ordered different items: Slutty Buns, Pork Belly Benedict, Barbacoa Chilaquiles and Avocado Toast. Everything was flavorful and didn't disappoint. The bussers were on top of water, drink refills and keeping the table clear. The wait staff were friendly and accommodating also. read more

Millie's is my go-to for breakfast. I usually get the lox benedict, but honestly everything on their classic American breakfast menu is fresh and tasty -- especially the pancakes and potatoes. Coffee is strong and bottomless, which keeps me coming back. Staff are always friendly and attentive. The vibe is chill and laid-back, with both indoor seating and sidewalk tables. Great for a slow morning or casual brunch. Tip: come early if you don't want to wait -- it gets pretty packed during prime hours. Still one of my favorite neighborhood spots. read more

Iconic to Silverlake but way too expensive. The pancakes or the biscuits and gravy are to die for.

Millie's Cafe at first seemed like just any other brunch spot with basic options, small portions and high prices. But I was quickly proved wrong. They had some fun options, particularly with coffee. The portions were huge. Like literally two servings worth. And the food is so so good. It is pretty expensive, but like I said, the portions are huge, so you could just split and be pretty happy. The coffee is also pretty expensive without the benefit of size. If you see a unique flavor you want to try, try it, but otherwise, just forego it. read more

I took my friend for breakfast . This is my first time coming here. I didn't know what to expect. The main dining area was outside and the staff greeted us right away. They were real friendly and attentive. I got the California omelette. The eggs were real fluffy and bacon was chopped but it was thick bacon. I would've gotten hash browns but we went on a Saturday and they only serve hash browns Mon. Through Friday. My wife got the usual breakfast which had great sausage links and pancakes were bomb. My friend got the steak and eggs. It looked like a good size steak. Great place for breakfast when you're around the area. It's in LA so expect LA traffic and parking. read more

Wow! That was my first reaction to Millie's. Reading the reviews, I was apprehensive. People are such complainers, aren't we? We expect every single perfect detail wherever we go these days. That's the "royal we". I don't. But I absolutely adored Millie's anyway. There was only a ten minute wait and we were welcomed to a nice four-seat table at the window. It was cheerful, bright and clean in the little (and only real) indoor dining area. Lots of tables were filled outside, though. Millie's is smaller than I imagined based on the size of the menu. OMG, that menu! A breakfast/brunch dreamscape. Soooo many vegetarian and vegan options. The four of us absolutely loved ours. Two people got the Slutty Bun, one person got The Usual and one got Eggs Benedict. You can get just about any dish on the what, 8-page menu, made with various proteins, vegetarian, vegan or carnivorous. We each had lattes: one regular, one Pistachio, one Blue Majik, and one Date Cardamom (see my pictures). They were all smooth and elegant. We had four servers, our main being the very patient and efficient Abraham. I say that because we were oohing and aahing over the choices for a good ten minutes while he stood there, helping but not rushing us. Being a city mouse, I felt right at home at Millie's. I love the unpretentious, down-home, upbeat, bustling vibe that spills out. We just plain ole had fun and then ordered things to take home. I gasped when the bill came, it was sooo reasonable. Then we headed across the street for some shopping, chattering every step of the way about Millie's and how we all couldn't wait to go back. And we will. Soon! read more

VEGAN REVIEW This is THE spot in LA for vegans to brunch with a non vegan group. I had the eggs with protein, and shared a waffle with the table. AMAZING. Pretty good chai latte, as well. The wait looks daunting, but actually goes pretty quickly. (Great people watching, too) Obviously parking is a huge pain, so give yourself time to find a spot. Bring a fleece to sit outside Service is brisk but friendly read more

I got the pancakes and ordered the Matcha latte. The food was pretty good and the service was quick. It's a very small place but has outside seating. We went early on Saturday around 8:30am. A waiting line started forming around 9:30ish. The servers were very nice. Overall, a very good breakfast experience. Their menu looked extensive. I definitely would like to come back and try some other items on the menu. The only thing that kind of sucks is the parking if you don't get there early enough, you won't be able to park on the street. I see a lot of locals. Just walk to the restaurant. read more

I was happily surprised coming here. I knew it was going to be good, but everything that hit the table was very delicious. The fact that they had fresh coconuts sold me immediately. The cardamom and date latte was SO TASTY. I will absolutely be back soon. There were too many things I wanted to try. I really liked their outdoor seating as well. Now that it is getting nicer outside, I will be taking full advantage. Thank you for the great service! read more

Breakfast/brunch all day with a nice gritty diner vibe. Love the Tex-Mex flair in addition to breakfast staples. Huge portions, so arrive hungry. Chilaquiles w/ Machaca: Breakfast nachos, need I say more? I'm a big fan of chilaquiles, so was excited to see them be one of the more popular items here. Huge portion! Lots of flavor. Enjoyed the add-on machaca to make it meaty and feel a little like loaded nachos. Lots of egg too, though I wish they mixed them in evenly instead of putting a blob on top. Only technical issue with the dish was that they could have used thicker tortilla chips, since they got a little soggy partway through the meal. Devil's Mess: A scramble with lots of personality and huge portion! So many nice spices in the egg mess. Ordered the hash browns and they did not disappoint. Crispy thin shreds, instead of those blocks you get at fast food restaurants. The fluffy biscuit was nice too, but it was so much food I barely got to appreciate the biscuit. read more

My friend had mentioned that this was one of their favorite breakfast/brunch spots and was shocked that I had never been/they had never taken me. So, today, 3/23/24, I finally got it to try it. My friend and I arrived around 10:15am and it was super busy, which was nice so then I knew it was popular. We did not have to wait too long for a table as they were turning them over very quick. We set outside and it was a little rainy but not too bad and they had heaters. They do also have indoor but it is more first come, first serve for seating. Since my friend had been their like 20+ times and I had already researched what I wanted, we ordered immediately. The order: *HEAVENLY HASH (Homemade Corned Beef Hash with two eggs (any style). Served with a side of potatoes, and either a biscuit OR toast) *STRAWBERRY, BANANA & NUTELLA WAFFLE )Belgian Waffle topped with sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, a drizzled Nutella chocolate, and powdered sugar) -This is what my friend ordered *HEALTHY GREEN BURRITO (Scrambled Egg Whites, spinach, and white cheddar cheese; all wrapped in a spinach tortilla. Topped with guacamole and salsa verde. Served with a side of fruit) -What I ordered. It was definitely a nice portion and filling. I got it without the cheese to save some calories. -Was not totally worth the $16+ I paid and have had similar with more stuff inside for a bit cheaper. Parking: *They do not have their own lot and lots near by say you will be towed if you park there for this place. My friend told me to park at the 99c store but I was concerned due to the signs. There is quite a bit of street parking but you have to pay so drive around into the residential side streets and you will find free parking. Just be aware that come are on major hills and they it scary to park. I may or may not be back. Depends on pricing. read more

Came here with a friend for Brunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We were lucky enough to find parking right in front of the cafe and were seated immediately. The menu selection was great and has a bit of everything to choose from. They also have a special vegan menu which was great because as someone who's non vegan with a friend who is, it's sometimes a bit challenging to find a place that has plenty of options for both of us to enjoy. I opted for a lemonade that was a perfect ration of tart and sweet. Banana walnut pancakes without walnuts which was done without issue and a side of apple sausage. The Banana pancakes were large, had a good amount of banana filling, and came with a side of whipped butter and syrup. The apple chicken sausage was flavorful too. My friend ordered the vegan chilaquiles and a waffle with strawberries and bananas on the side and loved both items. The only negative I would have to say is the place is a bit cramped inside and prices were slightly higher than average but they do offer a large portion size to compensate. Overall a great Breakfast Cafe/Brunch choice. read more
