    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's been a long week and I needed some comfort food. I was in the South Bay this weekend and…read moredecided to look for a place to get a good gyro. I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios. Get the knafeh! The warm cheese and syrup were so delicious and made for the perfect ending to a good meal! I will definitely be back, the food was super tasty, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the happiness, Al Hamra!

Our group of four adults and two kids came in starving. I had the chicken kabob wrap, which was a perfect burrito-sized meal, while my husband enjoyed a beef and chicken kabob plate that fully satisfied his appetite. Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.

I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

I've not been back for a long timespan due to location logistics and not other real nor negative reason. I revisited it. The prices were higher for sure. That's 2025 and when you even look at 2000 and think that wasn't that long ago, it's a quarter of a century, 25 years of inflation in the economy with rising costs of labor, insurance, rent, food ingredients, etc. - - it's somewhat reasonable to expect price hikes from "the old days" without a doubt. So, I can't really complain about that aspect. If you look around at peer restaurants, it's pretty much the same. I did get the Asian Chicken Salad, but for some reason it didn't take the same as I thought I recalled and remembered it years ago as being among the best I've had. It was okay, but I'd probably opt for the pure roast chicken play next time as a solid reliable fresh go-to option. It still has the Mediterranean aspect to the cuisine and menu. It's been in this location for so many years as a testimony to their quality to endure a presence for so long.
