Breakfast.
Marc G.

Love this little hole in the wall. The inside counter is really small, but they have tables set up outside. The staff is super friendly and nice. The breakfast is a good sized portion and so decently priced, which is too rare these days. And the food was fresh and tasted delicious. I loved my omelette, but I have to say I REALLY loved the GF's Huevos Rancheros. And with those homemade corn tortillas... wow. Can't wait to come back.

Chorizo Burrito  and country potatoes

If you want some fresh home cooked breakfast or lunch ! This is your spot ! Prices are reasonable , service is great , and food is delicious! Parking is a bit limited but was told you can use bank parking lot , drive way or street parking if available. It's two blocks away from the beach great location! Give them a shot ! You won't retreat promise! 5

Got the Bacon and 2 Eggs (1/2 Bacon and 1/2 Sausage) and Coffee. Very good quality and delicious breakfast. Definitely not stingy on the butter on the toast. The coffee was a nice medium roast. The home potatoes were nicely seasoned and cooked with onions. On my next visit, I am going to see if they can make the home potatoes more crispier. They also have a green salsa, which is available as condiment, that was flavorful and packs some heat. Dining is available at the horseshoe counter, inside tables and outside tables. Service was extremely friendly. The chef greeted me and took my order. When patrons left, the chef would say "See you tomorrow". Parking is available along PCH.

My Cozy Cafe special. Whole fresh avocado, bacon and eggs, home fries. Im ready to tackle the world.

My experiences here are always great. Everyone is so friendly and the food is delicious. Even though it appears to be a tiny place a lot of people can dine inside, outside under a tent or in a large room in the back. Carlos is the manager and chief chef. His son, Angel, helps out with the cooking. It's a family affair and I've always felt welcome. Carlos greets everyone he recognizes by their name. A nice touch. Street parking is close and there is a large lot behind the restaurant formerly occupied by a bank.

I wasn't sure what to expect when we walked in here. I had been wanting to try this place for a very long time! Small hole in the wall. Service was 10000/10. We were helped right away, our food was made very quick, we all enjoyed our food. My son got the chili cheese burger and he's usually picky with burgers, and he really liked it from here!! I like that the portions are small, just perfect to make you full. I usually never finish my food but that wasn't the case here, I actually finished it all. No containers to go were needed for our table. We came in on a Sunday for brunch and it was a little empty but as we were leaving, the outside patio filled up. The only thing I disliked was that the check was written and you could hardly tell what was what. Either way, price was great for 5 of us! I want to add that it was BEYOND humbling to eat here. I meant it in the best way possible. Cozy cafe seems to be operated by family, a boy, 10-12 year old took our drink order and brought us everything we needed. Not sure if the cook was his dad or grandpa but the whole family seems to be involved and of service!! You do not see this very often nowadays!!!! I felt the love and care that this food was made with... including the customer service!!! Thank you!!!!! I will definitely be coming back!

Good home cooking. Been a while since being here. Change in ownership. New owners nice, friendly and quick. Same decor no change but more outside sealing.

Tuna melt with hash browns

Went here for brunch as my wife and I were craving some typical diner brunch food. It definitely hit the spot. I ordered the chorizo and my wife ordered the tuna melt. Both were delicious, and we can't wait to come back and try some other options.

Keep an eye out for the sign!

Day 1: Found a local gem this morning! Cannot rave enough about this true "cozy" cafe. On the outside, which is being painted, it may not look like much, but it has a charm that breaks through the generic, modernistic, and want to be boutique eateries of the area. What others are trying to convey The Cozy Cafe brings to you on a plate with home style meals. The iconic mix of Greek-Hispanic flair made famous by California literary great Victor Villasenor resonates in this establishment! In the center of all the "fluff" of touristy Rendondo Beach fare, sit down at the horseshoe style countertop and have a great cup of Joe, good enough for any dock worker or fisherman. Order the Huevos Rancheros and be served a large plate of eggs, papas with onions, and a "Spanish sauce" that has a Mediterranean flair! Or order the Ham Steak and Eggs and have a meal fit for a sailor! The experience is like visiting a relative's home, catching up on recent events, and having a great meal. Day: 2 Returned to have Carlos make Chorizo con Huevos to PERFECTION!! If you ever have found a place far from home, that made you feel like you are at a family's house- this is it!!

SO delicious and the workers are so kind and welcoming, food was delicious! will 100% be back.

I wanted to update my review because my most recent visit completely changed my experience. As…read morealways, the food and pastries were amazing, but what truly stood out this time was the service. Anais was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive, and she made us feel genuinely comfortable and appreciated from the moment we walked in. She's so nice and positive energy made such a difference and really elevated the entire experience. This visit reminded me why Sweet Wheat has so much potential not just because of the quality of the food, but because of team members like Anais who truly care about customers. I'm happy to say I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Anais, for such a lovely experience!

I was excited to try this establishment because the pastries looked beautiful, but unfortunately…read morethe experience went downhill from there. I stood in line for about five minutes waiting to be helped while multiple customers who came in after me were immediately acknowledged and assisted first. I was wearing a bright yellow shirt and standing clearly in view, so it was difficult to understand how I continued to be overlooked. I even glanced toward the camera because I genuinely could not believe what was happening. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I later asked for the names of the staff members working during the interaction, Nick, Anianas, and two others.. they questioned why I was asking. I explained that I felt ignored and wanted to accurately reference who was present during the incident. As I was leaving, I overheard one of the workers say, "I feel bad for her walking out," which only added to the frustration because it confirmed they were aware of the situation the entire time. Sorry that I apparently did not fit the "typical clientele" you were more interested in helping first. This occurred between approximately 9:55 AM and 10:05 AM on Thursday, 5/21. Ironically, I had planned on purchasing a large order of pastries for my fiancé and his coworkers, but after the way I was treated, I decided not to spend my money here. If customer service matters to you, I would strongly reconsider visiting this establishment.

We decided to visit Riviera village after a relaxing morning stroll through Torrance Beach. Since…read moreit was almost noon, we searched on Yelp and decided to have some crepes for lunch. The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

We ask for hash brown for breakfast that we order the waiter like I don't think we have no more we ran out !!!! See the picture of famous Hamburger ...the meat even our little dog didn't want to eat that meat I hope the owner or the manager will see it and will change his habit to be cheep on food We have to say goodbye my love goodbye we will never return very disappointed Good luck

We chose a restaurant down the street from this place (Montauk), and boy was it terrible. My wife and I were still hungry and wanted dessert so we went to the Rockefeller, and it was a great choice. After dropping over $200 at the other place, we were pleasantly surprised to see the very reasonable prices for the food at the Rockefeller. We told our waiter that we were in a hurry to get our kids because of the bad experience that we had down the street and did a fabulous job of getting our food to us super-fast. Food: My wife got the baja fish tacos and they were presented amazingly and my wife loved them. I got the hot chocolate chip cookie and the bread pudding and literally inhaled both of them. Both were great. Ambiance: This place is so cute, inviting, relaxing, friendly, clean. Just a place that feels comfortable. Staff: Our waiter was so nice, understanding, quick and made a great recommendation on the bread pudding. Price: When we got our bill, just wow! The total bill was less than the tip that I left at Montauk and the food was 10 times better at the Rockefeller. This Rock(s)-efeller. Thank you! We will be back for sure.

I thought parking would be a nightmare, but there are ample parking spots with inexpensive metered parking. We got a seat in a comfortable booth right by a large window overlooking the marina. I was not planning to have a cocktail but they had so many good choices, including a rum based guava and passion fruit cocktail that just felt right. I didn't even finish reading the menu when I saw the blackened scallop with mushroom risotto dish. The scallops were tender and well seasoned. The risotto was very creamy, cheesy and comforting but the seasoning was mostly truffle oil. I had one slice of fresh mushroom on my plate. It would have been a 10/10 if it had more mushrooms.

We went here on Thursday and just nothing really hit the mark. The sprouts are overcooked, the calamari isn't as good as used to be, the Cesar salad dressing was bland and watery, the fries have changed and weren't as good, the fish and chips were over battered and the batter was like bready. So yeah, big bummer. The drinks were ok. Our waitress was super forgetful and seemed like she was scared of the world. She was writing stuff down and still forgot stuff and we had to ask multiple times. My friend had also ordered the steak and she didn't ask her which one so of course she charged for the more expensive one. Idk if we'll come back
