Du-Par's is such a LA classic. I've gone many times now to dine in and also just for carry out. Not to mention, they have a ton of baked goods you can order right from their stand within the Original Farmer's Market at the Grove. The thickest brownies you will ever see for $6.75 can be found here! Like I'm talking HUGE brownies like you've never seen before. It's so indulgent with chocolate frosting on top and at the price~ It doesn't even make sense, it's amazing. Even if you don't have time for a full dine-in, this bakery/togo section is money. Du-Par's is known for their pancakes and it's truth, their hot cakes are hot. Everything I've had at Du-Par's has always been great. Plus, they are always doing fun & trendy items, plus items themed for various holidays. Dodgers winning? They have TONS of goodies for that. Mother's Day this weekend? Yep, meals and even collectible cups can be had for the day of celebrating mamas. It's pretty wild how they have so many fun items for every cool day. Because Du-Par's is an institution in this city, it will always have a line. Even if kinda slowly, it does move as they seat & rotate tables out, so just buck up, buttercup. Always a great experience at Du-Par's and I'll be back many times over. read more

My boss organized what was supposed to be a beautiful Mother's Day outing for 17 women. The plan was breakfast at Du-Par's followed by a movie, and everyone was genuinely excited. Unfortunately, the experience at Du-Par's completely changed the tone of the day. Twelve of us were seated at a table near the bakery counter, while the remaining guests in our party were placed far away in a separate booth. We politely asked if we could use the empty booth directly next to our table so our group could be closer together. The answer was a very firm "NO." We then asked to speak with a manager and were told no manager was available. We asked for a shift lead and were told the same thing -- no one was available. It was extremely frustrating because the booth remained empty while we continued trying to find a simple solution. What made the situation worse was that one of my coworkers, who speaks fluent Spanish, overheard staff members saying, "Those people think they are getting their way," followed by comments indicating they were intentionally refusing to accommodate us. At that point, the issue no longer felt like policy -- it felt personal and disrespectful. After multiple failed attempts to resolve something so minor, our group decided to leave. And leave we did. Du-Par's lost a party that would have easily spent over $1,500 because of poor customer service and unwillingness to make a reasonable accommodation. I had never been to Du-Par's before and had always heard great things. Sadly, after this experience, I'll be removing it from my bucket list. Great food may bring people in, but terrible customer service sends them right back out the door. read more

Du-par serves up decent food and it tastes even better when you eat with friends! I enjoyed my Bacon Avocado Omelette and Hash-browns. Condiments like ketchup and Tabasco are on the table. The farmer's market has a lot of restaurants and I was hangry after the 3K walk. The table ordered Fish and Chips & the Gluten Free Egg White Omelette. The French fries were tasty. There was a bit of a wait but it goes by fast when you chit chat with your besties! read more

My first time at Du-par's, I decided to try their homemade "favorite" (their word, not mine) the chicken pot pie. It looked enormous at first glance, but when you dig into it, the dish is shallow so nothing I couldn't handle. I'm not sure why this is a favorite amongst anyone since there's more flavor in a frozen, Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie than what I was served. It's okay and nothing to write home about - just like their service. read more

Du-Par's Restaurant - Meh Chicken Pot Pie - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Du-Par's was another stop on my mom's and my unofficial "Bosch tour," inspired by Michael Connelly's books--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is a true LA landmark, tucked into the Original Farmers Market. Bonus points for easy parking: you can get it validated if you buy or eat anything in the market. Once we parked, we joined the line outside Du-Par's. There were probably about 10 tables ahead of us, but the wait flew by--around 20 minutes total--and the weather was nice, so it didn't feel like a hassle at all. Inside, the vibe is classic old-school diner in the best way. The servers wear suit jackets, and the whole place feels like a time capsule of old LA. They had several monthly specials, including Valentine's Day pancakes, which was fun to see. Since Bosch is always talking about Du-Par's famous pancakes, we had to try them. We ordered a short stack (three pancakes) and also shared the chicken pot pie, which sometimes sells out. Neither disappointed. The pancakes were soft, airy, and perfectly comforting--served with syrup and just done right. My mom isn't even a pancake person, and she said they were delicious, which says a lot. The chicken pot pie had a beautifully flaky crust and was packed with plenty of chicken and veggies--super satisfying. I also had an iced coffee, which was exactly what you'd expect from a classic diner (no complaints there). Service was quick, and our server was friendly and efficient. All around, Du-Par's is a great spot--whether you're a Bosch fan, an LA history lover, or just someone looking for excellent comfort food in a timeless setting. Would happily come back. read more

Food was homemade quality! Taste like your mom made it, made with love. Upon arrival the line seemed endless, i thought I was going to be in line forever BUT to my surprise the line moved quick! Don't let the long line scare you off, the warm and buttery pancakes are so worth it! my best advice: keep it simple, no toppings on pancakes and omelette are the way to go. read more

Born and raised in LA and this is my first time at Du-Pars. I actually came to try their famous pancakes. Happy to say it didn't disappoint. What really stands out to me compared to all the other pancakes at other diners is how fluffy and buttery the pancakes are. I tried to full stack but couldn't even put a dent it in it. So I'd go with the short stack! Is the best diner pancake? I'd say it's up there...top 5 for sure. Other places that stand out are cafe telegrams and Russell's The service was good seeing that there were only 2 wait staff. It's definitely a no frills diner which I can appreciate read more

One of my favorite brunch spots in SoCal. American comfort food in a genuinely nostalgic diner. Hard to beat their golden fried chicken breast smothered with house made rich and creamy country gravy. And of course you got to get a stack of their famous buttermilk hotcakes. I m salivating just typing this review. Only area that can be improved is service can be a little friendlier. read more

So nice to be back for breakfast at Du-Par's. We've been sorely missing the experience since they closed their Studio City location, and it's rare that we get to the Farmer's Market early enough for breakfast -- but yesterday we did, and boy were we glad about it. The restaurant maintains its mid-century Los Angeles charm with spruced up, retro coffee shop decor in dark reds and browns that create a warm and comforting atmosphere. Service is friendly, though they seemed a tad understaffed and our poor waiter was being run a bit ragged tending to so many tables with just one busboy to help. They did the best they could, but management should try to have a few more people on the floor. My wife ordered the French Toast, her favorite. Drizzled with melted butter and dusted with powdered sugar, this is one of the best versions of this morning stalwart in the city. I opted for their signature Buttermilk Pancakes, and was thrilled to find they have maintained their quality through all the changes. These hotcakes came out scorching hot, which is great -- they're crispy at the edges, fluffy in the center, and packed with all the right morning flavors. Melted butter and maple syrup slowly seep into the cakes, and they become sweet and savory through and through. I added a side of bacon, which was crisp without being petrified, so the full flavor was there to be enjoyed. I don't know that our schedule will allow us to come in any more often, but it's nice to know that when we do we'll find great food and a familiar experience just like we remember. read more

Everything was top-notch, from the service to the atmosphere and food! They warmly welcome you and seat you promptly. The interior reminds me of a cozy grandmother's dining room, creating a very welcoming and comfortable ambiance. My sister and her family were visiting from Denmark and wanted to see some "Bosch" filming locations. We decided on a weekday brunch before exploring Hollywood. This was the perfect spot! They have a large menu with many classic dishes. I ordered a chicken-fried steak with hash browns and two eggs, which were cooked perfectly. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft inside - a perfect texture! Many places overcook them, but not here. The chicken-fried steak used an 8 oz USDA Prime New York Strip, a much higher quality cut than the typical cube steak used elsewhere. It was delicious, even though it was different from what I'm used to. I requested fresh salsa, and although they offered hot sauce initially, I wanted something homemade. They had the cook prepare some of their in-house salsa, which had a great balance of spice and flavor. It perfectly complemented the dish. We also ordered pancakes, and Du-Par's lived up to their reputation for big, fluffy ones! They were fantastic. I would rate Du-Par's lower if I had paid the bill, as it was quite expensive. We were treating my sister and her family, but they insisted on paying. The bill was hefty, especially considering almost $40 for a country-fried steak. I give the food, service, and atmosphere a 5/5. This is the perfect diner for hosting family and friends, especially those visiting from out of town. The prices are steep, even for this tourist area, but we would definitely return in the future. read more

Old school cafe at the Farmers Market. We stopped in here because we wanted to dine inside rather than outside. I was only wanting to try the pie and my son ordered a burger and fries. Looking around, I can see lots of families and it looks like a place that locals come to. It's not a large location but very homey. The service was good. The pie is actually really small! But still good. Parking in the Farmers Market area is decent. read more

Du-Par's Restaurant - Apple pie. Okay. Skip banana cream pie though - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Du-Par's is constantly discussed in regards to the top pancakes in Los Angeles and I wanted to make a trip over there after passing by it for years. As this is a mall with overly pricey parking filled with guests can make it hard to find specifically by Du'pars. I thought the service was fine and it was a pretty cozy restaurant. Although the pancakes were good along with the other items we ordered, it gets pretty expensive and not quite worth it as there are no pancake plates so other items are à la carte. read more

I had such an incredible experience at Du-par's Restaurant & Bakery! I ordered the country steak and eggs and it was absolutely amazing -- perfectly cooked, hearty, and super satisfying. I also tried the banana walnut pancakes and they were packed with flavor in every single bite. You can really tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. On top of the food, the service was great -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The ambience was also really nice, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! read more

In my attempt to revisit older establishments, friends and I went in on a Sunday to get some pancakes. Oddly enough, I come here often but have not gotten the pancakes because I already knew them to be good. I retried them again, and I was wrong. They were excellent! They were better than I remembered: soft, velvety, moist and airy through out. I have once again been schooled. Our server was friendly and charming. Spoke a bit of French to me and I got to practice my French by speaking back. Second story- I am in charge of doing the office parties and one of my coworkers requested pies and not a cake for his birthday. Went to Dupar's to get one of their famous pies which were available to purchase in their outdoor counter. Pies we ordered (berries) were so good! read more

After spending some time roaming around the Grove it was time to eat, so we headed into the food market for some lunch with absolutely no sense of direction. Located towards the back wall of the market, sits a pretty large diner looking establishment called Du-Par's Restaurant! Originally we walked by and saw the giant case of pies, cakes, and cookies and when my wife was curious about the pie, we wandered into the dining area and ended up just getting some lunch. The menu here is pretty much "diner standard" as it features all types of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options to make pretty much anyone leave satisfied. Even though I'm not usually one to order breakfast after 10AM, I couldn't resist ordering the Country Fried Chicken with Scrambled Eggs and Hashbrowns. The wait did take a little long, but it was a very busy Sunday afternoon so it's to be expected. When the food came out it was super hot and ready to be consumed. The scrambled eggs were the real deal and tasted as they should and the same can go for the standard breakfast hashbrowns. The country fried chicken was pretty solid as well, though I will say the flavour was pretty copy and paste to all similar establishments, though I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, it just didn't stand out and was only average. Overall, Du-Par's Restaurant might not of been the best diner I've been too in the city, but environment was solid, the staff was very friendly, and the food was satisfying and tasted pretty solid. read more

Du-Par's Restaurant - Chicken Fried Steak and sides. - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ugh. Slowest. Service. Ever. My friend from New York really wanted to go here because it is considered an L.A. icon as well as the Farmer's Market. It was not busy, there were plenty of servers, yet we waited and waited and waited. Waited to order, while servers talked, waited a long time for our food, while the servers talked, no one checked on us at all during our meal so I had to go find someone to give me more coffee, and then we had to find someone to give us our check. It wasn't busy enough that would be a useable excuse either. The food was also kind of mediocre. Basically, living on a legend and I guess doesn't have to try very hard for tourist base maybe. I won't be going back. read more

This is one of the best places to get pancakes. They are that good. We came in on 12-30-25 around 12:30pm and had to wait about 20 minutes to get a booth. They are always so busy which is a good thing and worth the wait. I ordered the strawberry and blueberry pancakes that were excellent. Our server was Felipe C and the service could have been better. My wife's food arrived cold and had to get sent back from being in the window too long. The food was ordered again and arrived within minutes. That is how ordering food and getting it delivered should be done. read more

Ordered for pickup via uber eats. Gave them my name and they found my order. They asked for app confirmation and I showed them my uber eats app that confirmed my Dupar's order was ready. I picked up the bag and the woman Sonny snatched it from me refusing to give me my order. I had to show a second person my app confirmation for them to release my food. Absolutely insane behavior over pancakes. I've eaten at Dupar's twice before in restaurant. Service is never great and the food is average. Love the pancakes but I won't be back. read more

*For reference, the pancakes and egg plate were roughly 42 dollars total which I shared with my younger brother. I purchased the OJ somewhere else. 2 EGGS WITH BACON 6/10: The two eggs with bacon and hash browns were great! However, the main reason why I knocked down the rating was because of the price point. PANCAKES 3/10: I would like to preface that I have been coming to Du-Par's since I was three and I used to LOVE their pancakes. They were the fluffiest and were amazing with the maple syrup. Now, I find that they are doughy and are not worth the price. Sadly, while Du-Par's will always stand as a nostalgic diner, I don't think I will be coming back. NOTES-- - Du-Par's has kept the interior the same for the past 20 years so it does feel a little outdated. read more

The coffee is sort of meh but that's to be expected at old dinery kinds of places. Atmosphere is a cool old LA historical diner.

Came here along with a guest for the first time in my life. I went ahead and settled on the Denver omelette minus the mushrooms, & my guest went ahead and fulfilled her sweet tooth with a three stack serving of Apple pancakes and a side of bacon. We both agreed to get our coffee with a side of heavy cream. The service was decent, or rather competent I should say-but nothing memorable. Who knows, maybe the guy was tired? Either way, all in all it was a better than average outing at this Old School Los Angeles institution. read more

Despite having been to the farmers market plenty of times this is my first time at dupars! Came here on a Wednesday morning with one other friend and there was quite a bit of a line. Parking was quite bad, with very little space even in the parking lot. We looped a few times inside and out but eventually found a space. There was quite a bit of a line to be seated but it moved decently fast. Never at any point did it feel too long for us. Though the wait for the food was a little long. But nothing I was mad about. The food here was amazing. We had gotten an eggs Benedict and the seasonal special holiday pancakes to share. They both were delicious but the pancakes knocked it out of the park. They were nice and fluffy and were so satisfying to eat. The eggs Benedict were less memorable but they and the hash browns were good as well! Some people have talked about the customer service being bad. While I had no truly bad experiences I could definitely see how staff seemed rushed. Staff seemed to rush by a lot and they took a second to come take our order. While it's something that didn't take away from my experience one bit, it's something to take note of. Overall I would definitely come again! The pancakes were amazing and I can't wait for the next time I can have them. read more

Recently my colleagues and I were talking about classic LA Diners. Du-Par's came up and my response was it was just ok. I was in the area and decided to check out Du-Par's. It's been over 35 years since I've been to a Du-Par's. I was seated immediately and greeted by my food server. I ordered an iced tea and a bacon avocado omelette. Outstanding service. Fast and efficient. They serve the best iced tea in a glass with mint and freshly sliced lemon. My omelette and hash browns were delicious. Classic greasy spoon diner food. They were packed around 2pm on a week day. They validate parking. I highly recommend Du-Par's at Farmers Market on 3rd street. read more

I can't believe I haven't been here in over a decade! Finally I came by on Sunday around 3 or 4pm. Wow, parking was a disaster (naturally - it's Christmas time) but it's nice that they validate. The hosts don't have much sense in urgency. I think we waited about 15 minutes to be seated even though there were booths open. Our waiter was amazing - William! Super helpful, great sense of humor, and very attentive. We shared the breakfast plate (egg & hash brown), French toast, and pancakes. William suggested the cinnamon apple (I think) for the pancakes and it was yummy. The hash browns were okay, it tasted like it was drenched in butter though. It's a bit pricy for the amount you get, but understandable given the area and restaurant. Cute Christmassy vibes. Had fun! read more

Pancakes amazing. Truly one of the best. Fluffy, moist and huge! We got the short stack and shared it between two and we still couldn't finish it. Also, don't sleep on their huevos rancheros. They were delicious! Only reason for the 4-stars is because of the waiting time. It was pretty busy for a rainy Tuesday morning but only like 3 waiters working.

Last night I ordered via Door Dash delivery mozzarella sticks, chicken pot pie, and beef stew in a brioche bun for $57.27. Upon arrival the bun came and there was no beef stew. I then tried the chicken pot pie. It had a sour taste. After a couple bites I went to my kitchen at home to see if I had any gravy type sauce then I thought to myself "is this normal"?
