This was the best service I have ever had at a restaurant! The staff is amazing and made every party at the restaurant feel special. Our food took a little bit as it is a small restaurant and they were very busy and they brought us samples of the pancakes to try while we waited. The food was delicious too. Would definitely recommend. read more

One of the best meals and experiences I've had in a long time! The owner Billy is a gem of a human, as are all his staff. Stumbled upon this cafe and truly was reminded what American dining is all about: great food, nice people, and great vibes. The pancakes were incredible and distinct, really flavorful and delicious. They have incredible gluten free options which is not always the case. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Little Billy's - 2 + 2 + 2 ! Gf cinnamon pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I love Billy and he restaurant makes truly AMAZING food for breakfast and lunch! The last 2 times I was there for takeout I'd been SLOW and SLOWER... I ordered 2 of her same dish a few weeks ago and it took 30 minutes to get my food and they only gave me one dish. Today I tried calling 10-12 times with no answer so I went down there at 1:45 and it took 35 minutes to get my food to go which again is ridiculous! I am thrilled they are so busy but when I went there today there was many 3 of 4 tables of people and it still took me 35 minutes to get my food to go and I had to sit there the whole time after I prided because no one would answer the phone so I could order before I went there... read more

We came here after finding it on Yelp and had such a great experience. We ordered the farmer's market omelette, fresh tangerine juice, orange juice, a regular salad, potatoes, and bread--everything was absolutely fantastic. It truly feels like you're eating straight out of a farmer's market--fresh, flavorful, and high quality. This place is definitely a hidden gem, and we'll for sure be coming back! read more

Wanted a solid breakfast burrito on a Sunday morning, and after having a hard time finding the right spot, we came across Little Billy's and decided to give it a try. The moment we got there, we saw how packed it was, which honestly made us even more excited. From the start, the customer service was excellent. Billy himself was there going from table to table, checking in on everyone, making sure food was good, and refilling drinks. His energy and kindness felt so genuine. You can tell he really cares and works hard to create a great experience. We originally came for the breakfast burrito, but the menu looked way too good to stop there, so we also ordered the cinnamon pancakes and the lox bagel. Everything was absolutely delicious. We had to get coffee and orange juice too, and it all made for the perfect brunch. We even made a point to personally compliment Billy on the menu and the overall atmosphere of his spot. Huge thanks to Billy and his staff for such a perfect Sunday morning brunch. read more

As a trio of jaded, almost-graduating PhD gremlins who have seen too many R-squared values and not enough sunlight (plus a Master's grad wife of my friend -- an honorary PhD empath), I do not enter breakfast establishments lightly. I enter them as a woman who has survived This place? Healed something. My fellow senior PhD cryptids and I shuffled in looking like we had just crawled out of a structural equation model. Cortisol high. Hope low. Hair questionable. My dog, exhausted emotionally supporting me for the last 3 years. The owner? Immediate warmth. Sir. I almost cried into my coffee. Very few people have talked to me like that. "Thank you for coming in!" Until then i've been standing infront of my computer debating burning my entire wardrobe, just to watch something alight with vigor. The food? Listen. When you've been running on imposter syndrome, coffee, protein shake, and a pinch of rustic cut cheese, breakfast becomes sacred. I got the billy's pancakes with cinnamon. Crispy on the edges, a thicker crepe, just pure joy. cold brew: smooth but also strong enough to resuscitate a dissertation chapter. But what really hit? The vibe. It felt like a place where: * You can be mid-burnout (or existential crises multiplied by the resistance of the job market) and still be welcomed. * You can laugh about academia instead of crying about academia. * Then, the next second, talk about something so low in IQ that people might judge us in any other place. BUT not at Billy's. We stayed longer than planned because, for once, no one was asking us for accomplishments, and instead got to talk about the state of the grad housing and sharing what kind of mushrooms we see growing in our apt). To the owner: thank you for feeding three emotionally crispy PhD candidate plus a friends wife who has now seen all of us breakdown (thank you and shoutout to you). To future diners: come hungry. Come tired. Bring your dog. Bring your existential dread. They'll handle at least two of those things. Would return. Would defend. TLDR: A dissertation-era raccoon who found temporary peace in pancakes and friendly staff read more

Little Billy's - pastrami tacos with egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Food here was great. Had the double smash cheeseburger and the eggs Benedict. Taste was spot on. Burger came with Kettle chips. No complaints. Straightforward and no frills. Service was good and fast, they cleaned the tables up fast enough and food came fast enough. The dining area is about 24 seats inside and another 16 outside. Outside south facing so it could get you some Vitamin D if you wish. Near the coast so can get some oceans breezes. Met Billy. He was on point and takes care of PR and business. Runs the business well. He even doled out a few pancakes to the patrons. Very nice and delish! Short story - he has been chasing diner and pancakes his whole life. Soooo coool! Overall, not surprised that this place gets the ratings! Verdict - yes! Breakfast and Brunch! read more

I can't even tell you how much we love Little Billy's. First of all, I'm an artist, so I was immediately drawn to their branding. The logo is so cute! I bought some of their merch in Day 1 and I wear it all the time! Billy and his team are amazing! The service is always above and beyond. You're greeted with a smile every single time and they genuinely take care of everyone. This is absolutely a local favorite! My go to order right now is the Big Brekkie with an over easy egg instead of scrambled, which they're always happy to do. My fiancé cannot stop talking about the pastrami breakfast tacos. He raves and craves it all the time, so if it's your first time here, I highly recommend trying both of those dishes. I also had their Cinna Stack the other day and wow! If you love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, these pancakes are for you. Honestly though, all of their pancakes are incredible. They're delicious and almost taste like funnel cake, but somehow still really light and fluffy. They're thin but fluffy at the same time -- I don't know how they do it, but it's amazing! We bring people from out of town here and they always love it too. It's an excellent breakfast and lunch spot and one we'll keep coming back to again and again! read more

Little Billy had been on my list for a while and we finally tried it in December and I loved it!!! I got the morning egg sandwich and really liked it. My partner got the Billy breakfast burrito and he thought it was okay, he said he preferred my sandwich. What stole the show for me was the cinnamon billy cakes, I loved them! The cinnamon and the oat made them delicious. I will say that we ordered a single pancake but we got 3 and got charged 3 when we explicitly asked for 1. Overall I would come back. The service was good. The hot pot coffee was good. I will say that the place itself is tiny with not so much seating. We got lucky as we were only 2 people but for large parties it might be harder. read more

Where do I even start? You are greeted as soon as you walk through the door from a very nice girl. Service is very good! Sat down right away after shown some items on nice big menus. The food is incredible. I had the tex mex burrito and wife had eggs, potatoes and sausage. And we both tried different pancakes... the oat cinnamon pancake was my favorite! everything was so flavorful! They also have really cool looking breakfast clothes so I got a sweater for my wife that is super cute! We can't wait to come back with friends... this is our new breakfast spot for sure!! Delicious food and a very clean and beautiful snazzy little restaurant. 10/10!! read more

First time here and we will definitely be back. We came because it's only a couple of minutes down the street, and there's parking around there. We parked on the street, but it was pretty easy to do it and there's a lot of parking lots around. But also because they're famous Billy cakes can be ordered gluten-free. We got the gluten-free cinnamon Billy cakes and they were delicious. If the gluten-free was that good, I can't even imagine how good the regular ones are, but I plan to get those the next time I come. They were so thin and crispy, but yet soft and fluffy on the inside. We also got a chicken Caesar wrap that was delicious because first and foremost the chicken was quality, the dressing was good and the croutons were yummy. But they also grilled the wrap which not only gave it a nice crunch, but also contained all of the food so it didn't fall apart, like many wraps do. The owner, Billy was so nice and running around talking to everybody and apologizing for the wait. Now the place is small so you typically have to wait in a line and then go place your order and find a place to sit. We were only in line for like three minutes before we placed our order but then there was about a 30 or so minute wait before the food came out. This didn't bother us as we had a place to sit and they let us know ahead of time when we were ordering that the kitchen was backed up and it would be a while. With all that said, it was a great experience and I look forward to going again! read more

Came to Little Billy's for the first time yesterday. It's a cute little breakfast/lunch spot that just opened in Newport. My husband and I ordered the breakfast burrito to go and waited outside. After 20 minutes went by we had to ask about our order and it seemed the person after us got their to go order before us. They apologized and said they would have it out soon. Another 10 minutes went by and we were getting annoyed. But we finally got our order. The breakfast burrito is good but for $17 I wish it was a little bigger. Waiting 30 minutes for one burrito was not a very good first impression. But I'm not opposed to going back and trying something else. After reading other reviews it seems they have some improvements to make when it comes to time management. read more

If you're in Newport Beach and haven't been to Little Billy's, you're seriously missing out. This is hands down the best breakfast spot around. The food is always amazing, fresh, and consistently hits every time--but what really sets this place apart is the people. The staff is incredible--friendly, attentive, and they truly make you feel at home. And the owner? He goes above and beyond every single time I come in. He genuinely cares about his guests and makes sure everyone is taken care of. It's rare to find that level of hospitality these days. I've brought so many of my friends here, and every single one of them leaves obsessed. No matter how busy it gets, we're always treated with what feels like white-glove service. It's the kind of place that turns into your go-to spot without even trying read more

I had a great time here went here with my best friend for some brunch. Only downside is the seating if you sit inside the line might be touching your back while you're seated and they don't have any drink options don't expect matchas or chais here girlies. Common things I saw ordered and that looked amazing were the sandwiches, breakfast burrito, and the pancakes. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict and said it was missing something flavor wise just couldn't pin point it but I was a huge fan of my chicken pesto sandwich. The staff here are super friendly and definitely try their best to make everyone comfortable with the high demand and lack of seating. read more

My family and I are now obsessed with Little Billy's!! We went for the first time today and enjoyed every item we ordered. The chicken Caesar wrap was so perfect - especially as a brunch item. I could not stop eating the chocolate chip pancakes. My brother loved the lavash wrap as well. The vibes were also fantastic - you could tell the staff and Billy loved being there and wanted everyone to enjoy their experience - they check in on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. 10/10 no notes. My brother joked he wanted to come back to Newport just to eat here again. read more

Just WOW! This was by far THE best breakfast experiences I've ever had. The young lady behind the counter was the nicest person and genuinely cared about me having the best experience and enjoying our food. The Billy's Breakfast Burrito is beyond amazing. The eggs so beautifully made, the smoked bacon, crunchy! And the side chipotle aioli was a delicious addition. The pancake with cinnamon butter was mind blowing out of this world. Parking was easy, but really the shining star was the service too. Just wow. 10 out of 10!! read more

Little Billy's - Cinnamon pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Too busy to eat in store. Surprisingly on a cloudy Monday morning, this small little shop had a line out the door. So I decided to order what I've seen that they're known for which are their billy pancakes. The hostess was so sweet and accommodating. They will even call you when your order is ready on your phone since seating nearby is limited. The store itself is quite small. There were probably six tables on the inside and two tables on the outside. For an order of their flapjacks, it came out to around $15 and when I got home, the pancakes were still warm and I dug in right away . I got the most popular which is cinnamon and it was very unique. The flavor was good not as fluffy as normal pancakes since they're oat rolled, but I liked the texture and I would love to come back and try more of their menu items. read more

I've been looking to find a good chicken caesar wrap in OC and came across Little Billy's as I was doing my research. I came on a Sunday morning/almost afternoon ish with my partner and we were debating on what places to eat for a good chicken caesar wrap. Looking through tiktok and yelp, this place was at the top of most people's list so we decided to give this place a try. The cafe is small and casual, I hope they move to a bigger place for more seating but honestly can't complain. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, love the hospitality right away. It was quite busy but the place was poppin! We also got a side of a single pancake (strawberries and cream) SO GOOD. The chicken caesar wrap was worth the wait though it did not disappoint. Next time I gotta ask for extra dressing forsure. Looking at what other people ordered, I definitely have to come back and eat breakfast here. read more

Kayla took my order at the register with the warmest smile which really made my day. I overheard her recommending another customer popular dishes such as the chicken caesar wrap so I ordered one and was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was cute and clean with plenty of outdoor seating which I enjoyed. While my wrap was certainly delicious, I must say Kayla's kindness was the highlight of the experience for me. She was such a ray of sunshine which really enticed me to write this review. She even approached me during my meal and asked if I wanted to try a pancake on the house. I said yes and was enamored by how delicious the pancake tasted! Dare I say the best I've had. Will certainly be back for the food but hopefully to interact with Kayla again. 10/10! read more

Such a lively spot in newport for breakfast! Most items fall between $15-$18. There's tons of seating, and while it gets pretty crowded, the turnover is fast so you can usually snag a table without much trouble. The breakfast burrito is loaded, flavorful, with perfectly crunchy bacon and a sauce that ties it all together. The salmon lox toast is light, refreshing, and finished with just the right amount of oil so it feels balanced instead of heavy. Coffee comes in a cute glass cold brew can, which makes the experience feel a little more special. Overall, it's a casual, high-energy place with tasty food and a cute vibe read more

Found this place on Yelp when searching for ricotta toast. Small but charming, nice location, super busy when we got there at 11am. The ricotta toast was okay, nice presentation but actually now that I think of it, price was outrageous. I should have gotten what they're famous for, the Billy cakes or the Billy breakfast burrito. My fiancé ordered the hot pastrami and it was burnt. Still liked the place enough to get one of their t-shirts. read more

Everyone working here was so kind! When you walk in you order and get a number to sit down. I ordered the 2+2+2 plat with egg whites, Billy cakes, and bacon. It came out super fast, I think 6 minutes tops! The eggs were well cooked, the bacon was thick and cooked perfectly, and the star of the show...the Billy cakes. Wow these were not too heavy, perfectly moist, and flavorful enough (you don't need syrup at all). These pancakes melt in your mouth and I will definitely have to come back and try their regular buttermilk pancakes. The aesthetic inside this restaurant is so adorable with their merch on the wall, wall posters, and color scheme. Love Little Billys! read more

Interesting experience but most likely will come back again to see what happens. My wife and I went on a Sunday around 1:45pm and had a mixed experience. Today it was very sunny and we could only find seats outside. The seating inside is limited with about 5 tables outside with no shade or umbrellas. Hopefully they have some when it's actually warm outside. Parking seems okay- it's street parking. Our food took a while. It was just my wife and I and 2 parties after us (two groups of 3) got their food before us. I went inside and asked about it and 2 min later our food came. Seems like they forgot or something happened to delay it. The chicken club sandwiches were okay. Not the best, not the worse. Doesn't come with any sides either. For the price didn't blow my mind The owner or manager was apologetic about the delay as he was apologizing to several groups about the delay. So maybe the kitchen is learning the flow they need. He did bring us several types of pancakes on the house and they were probably the best pancakes we ever had. I believe it was their cinnamon, blueberry and classic butter milk. It was frustrating because even though the staff were friendly seems there was some lacking in the awareness factor which made the delays happen. Waiting for the food when it shouldn't be that long and trying to go about your day is annoying - But the manager did apologize and those pancakes were fantastic. We are not against trying again- and everyone should try themselves. Maybe we'll do to go instead. read more

Streetfront building on small side street. Free 2 hour parking during certain hours on the street. Also a big public lot across the street. A few tables both in and outside. Order at the register, they give you a number, and bring your order to you. Fast and very friendly service in a laid back setting! I split the morning egg sandwich (comes with chicken sausage patty) and 2+2+2 (pancakes, eggs, bacon) with my wife. Both were great! Also got an iced coffee. Note that the chicken sausage patty was rather tasteless without all the flavoring of the sandwich, so I would NOT recommend it as a choice of meat on the side of a dish, but it was perfectly fine in the sandwich thanks to the other flavors. Healthier, too! read more

This place was pretty crowded when we came on a Sunday around 11AM! It pretty small on the inside but I love that it feels very thought out in terms of their concept/branding. Everything has a cohesive feel. Also it's pretty close to the beach which is nice! We shared the chicken sausage, big brekkie sandwich & the rolled oat pancakes. The service was great as they accidentally made our pancakes cinnamon style even though we wanted blueberry so the owner/manager came by and also gave us an extra pancake on the house because of it! I thought that was really nice. The rolled oat pancakes were thin and on the crispier side. The buttermilk pancake was pillowy soft and thicker. Both were really good! The chicken sausage was okay - kind of lacking in flavor and it could've been more moist. I loved the sandwich! It was balanced really well. read more
