It's a small place, waiting can be long but super affordable & delicious breakfast food.

By far the best breakfast spot in Downey, food is always great and the staff are the best! Found this place in the first month of dating my boo thang and has been our favorite breakfast place ever since. Our favorite waitress/dope soul is Theresa, she's the best! read more

Great breakfast joint! Love this place. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Bacon is delicious and crispy. My kids love the waffles and I love everything else! read more

Loved my tuna melt and good fries!A total Breakfast place but came a way after lunch. Lots of people. Good coffee. Service was good. Although they were trying to clear our plates asap because it was going to be near closing time. We were not the only ones. Many tables were filled. I hate going to places near close time because they want to wrap it up. Overall, I would not mind trying the breakfast because everyones plate on the other tables looked yummy! Prices were decent! read more

Great breakfast place for reasonable price. I'm definitely going back here. Customer service was great. Love the Country Fried Steak.

There service is horrible went to pick up one day and the lady at the cashier asked me for the pick up order name and instead of handing my order walks away and takes a table order and getting coffee for other people when my food has been sitting there I was a little annoyed and confused but not a big deal . I try ordering on a different day whoever answered the phone I guess doesn't know the menu because I order the pops breakfast which I have done more than once before. The person on the phone is saying there's no potatoes on the dish I gave the benefit of the doubt and I looked up there menu and obviously there was potatoes on the dish so called bck to clarify and the person on the phone argues that there's no potatoes doesn't allow me to explain what am seeing on the there menu. It's always something with there staff when I call or go in person very disappointing read more

Great option for good traditional American breakfast joint. Place is quite busy on the weekends so plan ahead.

I saw Pop's Cafe on an episode of Burrous Bites, Channel 5 News with Chris Burrous. Located in the Rives Square, which is a long line of storefront businesses, plenty of parking, the interior is of an older looking cafe, clean not rundown just has the look like it's been here a while. As I entered I was told sit where you like which I did then waited, and waited I took about 5 minutes for someone to actually approach me and ask what I'd like, in which my reply was a MENU.... seems as if they has one actual Waitress for the whole Cafe, the other couple of ladies were helpers to bring food and refill coffee etc... the menu is pretty large but I went for Breakfast and they had a Breakfast Burrito on the menu so I went with that. Breakfast Burrito ($7.25) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pops-cafe-downey?include_review_link=True&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Nice size Burrito filled with Eggs, Bacon, Ham, Sausage, Hash Browns and Cheese, eggs were cooked flat like an omelette, OK but I prefer them scrambled, hash browns could have used more time on the grill, meat was plentiful, https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pops-cafe-downey?include_review_link=True&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg except for the Bacon which was in very small pieces they were hard to find or taste. 4-Stars Salsa was House Made, flavor was ok but no spice. Biscuits and Gravy ($5.25) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pops-cafe-downey?include_review_link=True&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg This is pretty much your typical old fashion Diner/Cafe biscuits and gravy, they were OK, gravy a bit on the blander side, decent biscuits https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pops-cafe-downey?include_review_link=True&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg pretty average. 3-Stars Food Avg - 3.5-Stars Service, Coffee Refills Slow - Minus .5-Star Average but I'd return if in the area. read more

So our regular breakfast spot just closes way too early. So I went back to Yelp to find the next best thing and came across Pop's Cafe. Got there to the location and saw a crowd of people outside and just knew it was going to take 45min-1 hour wait. So I called the phone number asked the person how long is the wait and she said 15-20 minutes so we got out the car and put our name on the waiting list and set a timer on the phone for 20 minutes. Kid you not alarm went off a minute later they called us. Went inside ordered the French toast waitress recommended the grilled fried version as well as the regular which I concurred to. My girl had the eggs Benedict. Her food came first and it looked pretty good. Then my food came and it was over. Very delicious this is definitely going to be my new place. The coffee was good too. read more

What a great place!!!! Wonderful, promptly, kind service. Delicious food at reasonable price accompanied with fresh great coffee. I would definitely come back again. THANKS POP'S!!!!!!!! read more

Only been here twice but the French toast and chicken fried steak are delish! The waiter Ivan was awesome and made really good suggestions. It has a very home like feel. read more

Just had a late breakfast and it was delicious! Pick up during this pandemic which is no problem! They take phone orders too! Ordered French toast and biscuits & gravy - the biscuit and gravy portion was a lot so I have leftovers! I really liked that all the items ordered were correct - sometimes to go orders (anywhere)are unreliable. read more

This is a welcoming neighborhood breakfast joint. It was Sunday morning, my first time here there were 4 parties ahead of us and we waited less than 15 mins. While waiting outside I noticed this place is full of regulars when waiters and customers were acknowledging each other. I ordered the steak, eggs, hash-brown, and a side of toast. It was good size portion I couldn't even finish. Food was tasty all the condiments were on the table no need to flag waiters down. Definitely will go back again! read more

The first time I ate here it was delicious, this time, not so much. Fourth time coming here and it's lost it's glow in our minds. I don't know if it's because they are switching owners and maybe there's been some changes; but, the eggs Benedict were not very good at all this time. Idk why the sauce was sooo thick and orange like velveeta cheese, and the eggs were hard, not runny like they're supposed to be, it was also pretty salty. Home fries left much to be wanted(they were cooked on the outside but some were still pretty close to raw on the inside.) Three stars are for their STILL amazing fried French toast and NY steak and eggs. Service is still way better and faster then IHOP. read more

Local hidden gem, been coming here for years about time I make a review. The owner and staff are very friendly, this establishment is very solid. I grabbed the Corned Beef Hash Breakfast. Was amazing. Usually I go with the country fried steak but decided to switch it up this morning. If you're in the mood for diner style breakfast definitely give pops cafe a try. read more

Server sat us quickly and was very welcoming. The food was great. A good spot for a breakfast in Downey.

Ever since we found Pops it's has been our favorite place for breakfast. They have the best waffles and biscuits and gravy. They are always busy but their customer service is still top notch! read more

I was very uncomfortable eating here this morning. I witnessed the owner Alex talking down to one of the waitresses. Very disrespectful and unprofessional of him. Won't be returning due to the disrespect shown to her. read more

I love the staff the owner is so nice and the food is great and you get your money worth

It's crowded on Saturday mornings but it's worth the wait. The food was simple yet delicious and hearty. If you sit outside expect to be neglected a bit since they're understaffed so it's probably best to sit inside. The place is basic but I wasn't there for the decor. Good food for affordable prices. read more

The service was fast and the huevos rancheros were delicious. Definitely recommend coming here.

Great find outside La. Homestyle breakfast. Get the biscuits and gravy. Cinnamon roll also a treat looking forward to. Check this place out

The country fried steak is so good here! On the weekends it's a bit of a wait but it's definitely worth it! 10/10 recommend

great food. wonderful staff. Has a real family atmosphere very crowded. They'll get there early.

Prob my fav breakfast spot. Been a regular and coming for 15 years. Over the years I have seen staff change and a lack of upkeep. It's been about a few years and running that the AC does not work. I'm not sure if it's a landlord or tenant issue. But honestly this place is way too packed not to be able to afford a AC. Please fix the AC!!! I literally soak in my sweat every-time I come. Food is amazing, but not worth the wait and now the AC don't work? The wait is bad enough... usually 45-1 hour wait! Please please fix the darn AC. read more

The food was great and so was the service, small place and very busy but fast service and delicious food this place is a hidden gem!!! Eggs Benedict were amazing and I highly recommend the deep fried French toast, total game changer read more

Simply the best in LA. Unless you plan to drive out of the county I really couldn't ask for more out of a breakfast joint. Quick service, home style food. Simple ambiance which equates to great prices! Love this place read more

Great breakfast spot! I recommend the County Fried Steak with a biscuit. My boys enjoyed the pancakes, biscuit, and eggs.

I can't rave enough about this little hole in the wall. Definitely a local spot but the atmosphere is so inviting, from the 1st time I ate there, I felt like I was one of the regulars. Food is amazing and the service is always top notch. Easily one of my favorite breakfast spots - I highly recommend you check this place out read more

The service was great & the food was delicious will be showing up this weekend with the family!

Just went there with my husband and just decided to walk out, the customer service was horrible, the waitress never came back to take our order and we waited more than 15 min. Felt like they didn't want serve us. Was excited to try this place but never again am I going back. If I could give zero stars I would. read more
