If you're looking for a breakfast spot that truly excels in both quality and service, look no further than Off Street cafe. I recently had the pleasure of dining here and was completely blown away by the experience, from the moment I walked in until the last bite of my meal. I opted for the California Omelette, and it was perfection. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked, generously filled with fresh, vibrant ingredients—avocado, cheese, and tomatoes that tasted like they were just picked. It was light, savory, and exactly what a breakfast specialty should be. However, the real showstopper on the plate was the side of Home Fries. Often, home fries are an afterthought—greasy or under-seasoned. Not here! These were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned flawlessly with a blend of herbs and spices that made them utterly addictive. They are easily some of the best I have ever had at any breakfast establishment. Beyond the food, the service was genuinely excellent. Our server was incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome and valued. Despite the cafe being quite busy, the service was fast and attentive. Our coffee cups never went empty, and our food arrived quickly and piping hot. Off Street cafe proves that great service and outstanding food can go hand-in-hand. Whether you're craving a fantastic omelette or just the perfect side of crispy potatoes, this spot deserves your business. I highly recommend it and will absolutely be returning soon!

We went to have breakfast here on Sunday October 12. Just a few things to keep in mind is that parking can be tough but you can park around at your own risk. Also, they do not take reservations, only walk ins we arrived at 9am and it was already a 40 min wait. Other than that, this place is good! We would come back but maybe a little earlier. What we ordered: Chicken and waffles: a solid 8/10. Chicken is kinda dry but waffle is good!! California burrito: 9/10 it is really good! Good flavor. Kinda small (I eat a lot) lol Egg white omelette: 10/10. Very healthy and comes with lots of hash browns.

I just worked through a list of every diner and coffee shop in LA County and somehow missed this spot. It was recommended to me by another foodie and wow they were right. This place is one of the best breakfast restaurants in South Los Angeles and I would highly recommend it and already want to go back again. Mainly for the food taste and quality. The service and pricing was also great but what gets me to repeat a restaurant as if the food taste is so good that I think about it after I eat it. It’s located in a business park area and comes with free parking in the front and back. We were able to be seated right when we arrived at 10AM on Saturday in a party of two. Our server was extremely polite, and everything that we ordered came out lightning fast. Inside is larger than it looks from the outside and has many different types of seating options. The restaurant was fully occupied when we were there so you can tell that it’s really popular with the locals, and after eating it, I can understand why. I started off the meal with a Cinnamon Roll because it’s one of my favorite things and I had heard that this place has one of the better versions. I will say that it is one of the best Cinnamon Rolls that I’ve had in 2025 and would highly recommend it to any fan. For breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict and switched it to chorizo and added avocado which I would suggest trying. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and the hollandaise had great flavor to it. Overall, I was really impressed with the meal and I already want to come back again even though I live in Marina del Rey I drove out of my way specifically for this place and would do it again.

Melecio's scrambled eggs reminded me of something my mother would've cooked for me! Carne asada with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, chile, cilantro, melted cheese and topped with queso fresco. Service was great Portions were large Ambiance was nice Place was packed but I found quick & Available seating in the bar.

The food was delicious and the service was fast. The restaurant was very busy and the kitchen did a great job to help keep the wait times down. Our server was nice. But no one explained that the restaurant had a special weekend menu, that was printed on a single sheet of paper. It was hiding under the beverage menu. Since we were there for breakfast, I like my coffee hot and always appreciate a "warm up", which I had to ask for.

Super poppin on a Saturday for brunch but we only had to wait 15-20 minutes. They serve you pretty quickly and the food comes out fast which is a plus. Pretty decent brunch spot with good prices! So happy they have chicken fried steak here!!
