i may have come here because ATEEZ filmed their "Work" music video here... but i stayed for the delicious food!! this diner has a super cozy vibe with old fashioned decoration that takes you back. they have a wide variety of menu items, and we went with the Machaca Skillet and a Tuna Melt. Both exceeded our expectations from the flavor to the portions. The servers were kind enough to share with me a little about ATEEZ's visit too! I absolutely recommend checking this place out whether youre an Atiny or just in the area.

I'm glad I went out of my way to go here. Although I was a bit perplexed by nobody coming to greet me at the door (the sign at the podium says 'someone will be right with you') I just went in and seated myself and that seemed good enough. I changed my mind last minute to Nick's Breakfast Sandwich, which is eggs, cheese, ham on sourdough. The default is strawberry jam, but people who mix sweet and savory are deeply troubled and chaotic people. So I got mayo instead. Was shocked at how insanely good that ham is. That sealed the deal for me. Love the service that comes with some lovely charm and a bit of the ol spunkiness. The counter is the place to sit to hear all the jovial blue-collar regulars laughing it up with the staff.

Small lil mom and pop cafe. Ordered a couple burritos. The Baja breakfast and the breakfast combo with bacon ham and avocado. Both were big and delish. Really liked the salsa! The miss that waited on us was super nice. We sat outside. Looks can be deceiving at this place. Don't knock it till you try it!

Breakfast was so good, it was all I thought about all day! This place was recommended by a Los Angeles City Supervisor to my husband. Seeing where it was and the exterior, I honestly wasn't expecting much. But based on the reviews, we went ahead and gave it a go. They have indoor seating at a bar or you can sit out side under canopies. We chose to sit indoors. I ordered the Chocloate Chip pancakes based upon a review photo I saw. The server asked if I would like it as a combo with eggs and bacon, and I replied yes and she suggested I order the Mini Pan San for light eaters because the pancakes are huge, so I agreed. My husband ordered the California Scramble. Coffee was hot, nothing special. Service was excellent. Loved her personality, warmth, spunk and attentiveness. I can't remember her name, but she said she's been there 15 years. Food arrived rather quickly, so glad I ordered the smaller plate because it was still huge 3 10" pancakes with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce. Looked incredible! The bacon was the tastiest and crispness I have ever had! Eggs were perfectly scrambled. The pancakes tasted amazingly! I thought about them all day! My husband's meal was huge and loaded with veggies and ham. Looked tasty! I am ready to go back! I just wish we lived closer, as we are out in the inland empire.
