25 Best Brunch Spots in Los Angeles

Hatchet Hall cooks a sustainable, farm-driven menu over an open wood fire in a rustic Culver City dining room, and its natural-wine-heavy list still draws a loyal weekend crowd. It's one of the few spots on this list that leans savory-forward rather than sweet, with a rotating menu built around what's fresh that week.

Right on the Venice boardwalk with the Pacific as the backdrop, The Waterfront pairs a Californian menu with genuine ocean views from indoor and patio seating alike. Breakfast items start around $13, including a solid breakfast burrito, with heartier plates like steak and eggs running higher.

The original Salt's Cure on Highland has been doing whole-animal butchery and farmers-market produce since 2010, and it's now open daily from 8am to 3pm, wider hours than it used to keep. The oatmeal griddle cakes and grain bowl are the long-running favorites. Note this is a different business from the WeHo spinoff "Breakfast by Salt's Cure," which closed its West Hollywood location in 2026 and is relocating to Silver Lake.

République doesn't run a separate "brunch" menu; its all-day café and bakery, open daily from 8am to 2pm inside the historic 1929 Chaplin building, is the de facto brunch and one of LA's most photographed pastry cases. The formal dinner dining room is a completely separate service, open evenings only.

Poppy + Rose has built a loyal following in the Flower District on classic American comfort food with a seasonal streak, especially its chicken and waffles and the Avocado Benedict. It draws a steady mix of DTLA locals and visitors.

Steps from the Venice sign, the original Great White is now the flagship of a small local chain that's expanded to Larchmont, West Hollywood, Studio City, and Brentwood, with a Manhattan Beach location on the way. The Venice spot still has the beachy, plant-filled dining room that made it a favorite, with sustainably sourced seafood and a menu that covers most dietary needs.

Opened in 2019 by the owners of Taco Mell and Bleu Kitchen, Court Café built its name on generous portions, sweet-and-savory pairings, and its fruited butters on pancakes and waffles. It's since expanded to a second location in Las Vegas.

Cobi's runs a genuinely distinct brunch, folding Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian flavors into classic American breakfast plates, like its BLT Banh Mi with crispy pork belly and sambal aioli. It's a Michelin Bib Gourmand pick and only serves brunch on weekends; weekdays are dinner-only.

Blue Daisy has been a Santa Monica neighborhood staple since 2011, known for organic breakfast plates and crepes made from scratch. Breakfast entrees start around $11, with heartier plates in the high teens to low $20s.

Despite periodic closure rumors, FIG is still open and taking reservations inside the Fairmont Miramar hotel. The kitchen sources close to home, often from combers who search the coast for hard-to-find ingredients, and keeps the menu seasonal.

Urth Caffé has been serving sustainably sourced coffee and a broad breakfast and lunch menu since 1989. The huevos rancheros remain the local favorite, and the Beverly Dr patio is a reliable people-watching spot.

Bru's Wiffle has closed its original Marina Del Rey address and merged with Flapjax Diner at a new Santa Monica location. The waffle-centric menu that made it a cult favorite carries over. If you're used to the old address, don't be thrown by the Flapjax Diner signage out front, it's the same kitchen.

Ashland Hill's big outdoor beer garden opens earlier on weekends, 10am on Saturday and Sunday, making it a solid daytime option for a group that wants patio seating and a deep craft beer list alongside brunch-friendly plates.

Ella is the restaurant inside the SIXTY Beverly Hills hotel, blending Mediterranean, Asian, and Italian flavors with a lively cocktail list at the corner of Wilshire and Crescent. It has been known for live music during weekend brunch, though we'd call ahead to confirm today's format.

Élephante's rooftop brings Southern Mediterranean and coastal Italian flavors with an ocean view that's worth the trip on its own. Shared plates like the burrata start around $20, and the Bloody Mary, mimosa, and Bellini service keeps the brunch crowd happy.

Ryla is still one of the South Bay's better-kept brunch secrets, run by chef Ray Hayashi with a Japanese-inflected take on coastal California cooking. The milk bread alone is worth the drive out to Hermosa Beach.

Named for the owner's grandmother, Agnes builds its brunch around a serious in-house cheese and tinned-fish program alongside dishes like the Cornbread Eclair. It's a warm, nostalgic space in Pasadena's historic Green Street district.

Leo & Lily fuses European and Mediterranean flavors into a hearty, reasonably priced breakfast and lunch menu that's served daily, not just on weekends. Pancakes start at $15, and the Crab Cake Benedict, at $25, is the priciest thing on the menu.

Part of Ludo Lefebvre's Petit Trois group, this Sherman Oaks outpost brings genuine Parisian bistro cooking to the Valley, with open-air seating and a menu built around classics like the Omelette Petit Trois and a well-loved crab cake.

Yang's Kitchen calls itself a "hip Chinese kitchen," building its brunch around sustainable, local ingredients, and it earned Time Out's #2 Best Brunch in LA nod in March 2025. As of 2025, the kitchen also cooks seed-oil free, using cultured sugarcane oil and organic butter.

The Nest serves an all-American breakfast and brunch menu, from French toast and waffles to a Short Rib Hash that regulars keep coming back for. Its website currently lists a location update, so it's worth confirming you have the right address before you drive out.

Little Dom's brings a bit of classic New York bar energy to Los Feliz, with a vintage wooden bar and a patio that welcomes dogs. The Breakfast Pizza and Sunny Side Up Egg remain the most-ordered brunch plates.

Perched atop The Aster in Hollywood with chef Marcel Vigneron behind the menu, Lemon Grove pairs a rooftop garden with dishes like Raw Oysters, Croque-Madame Flatbread, and Steak & Eggs with chimichurri. It's one of the newer additions to LA's rooftop brunch scene.

The self-described "vegetable slaughterhouse" treats produce the way a butcher treats meat, chopping, filleting, and building a fully vegetarian menu that changes daily. This Abbot Kinney address is the original; the brand has since opened other LA-area locations.

The Polo Lounge, inside The Beverly Hills Hotel, has been LA's power-dining fixture for generations, serving American dishes with an Italian accent under the trellised patio. The Sunday jazz brunch with a live trio is the signature event.
