It gets super busy here on the weekends, especially during brunch, but otherwise, the wait isn't too bad. The churro french toast is solid and a great choice if you're in the mood for something sweet. The pastor omelette was also really good. I saw some other reviews saying it lacked flavor, but honestly, I thought it was perfect. It wasn't too salty, which I often find pork omelettes can be. Service was friendly and pretty quick. There's also free street parking and free parking in the nearby lots.
I had the best time at Madres Brunch, not only was the staff so accommodating but they took care of us on a nice Monday morning brunch. We ended up having a fun mimosa/cocktail brunch because we had the flights, along with the coffee flight too!! They recommended the French toast dishes and the strawberry shortcake pancake, it was a sweeter dish so it was definitely a dessert pancake for me. The best brunch place for the girlies looking for a cute brunch spot
Everything was super delicious and the staff was so friendly and attentive. They did a great job at explaining everything and brought the food out pretty fast. Everything tasted so high quality. My favorite was definitely The Journey which was strawberry pancakes and not only did it look good but it tasted even better!! It was also nicely decorated inside with lots of neon signs. 10/10 I had a great experience.
walked here as the wait for another brunch location was too long. bright, captivating space in a super convenient location. ordered the ensenada omelette and churro french toast and friends ordered the posole, sampler toast and pistachio waffles. unfortunately, the food sounds better than it tastes. by the looks of the waffles and pancakes, it was easy to see that a lot of food colouring is being used and there's not much actual flavour. friends enjoyed the posole and we enjoyed the churro french toast. omelette was wet, which i wasn't expecting, quite thin and wasn't texturally pleasing. perhaps the stronger dishes are the traditional mexican ones. staff is friendly, however, and attentive.
Last weekend I came here for brunch with a group of 6. Seeing all the tables full and several names ahead of us on the list, we were prepared to wait but we had no idea that we would be waiting for 1.5 hours. Initially quoted 30 to 45 minutes, but it went so far beyond that. We realized it's a small place, but we were getting a little frustrated when they were seating parties who arrived after us because they had the right number of people to occupy the table(s). Sometimes it was parties of 4, then 2, and even 10. An easy solution would have been to move or separate tables to seat us within a reasonable time. So with that being said, I would recommend going super early (before 10 am) or late (after 1 pm) AND do NOT go in a party of 6! Now, the positive! The inside decor is so colorful and cute. Our server was super nice and efficient. We had drinks and order taken in no time! All the food dishes had lovely presentations and were tasty. There was also a virtual DJ playing some tunes up on the screen that created some nice ambiance. While the dining experience was pleasant, the 1.5 hour wait for a table was not. Therefore, I would not return unless I happened to walk by and saw empty tables. But walk by and maybe give it a try.
It is located in downtown Monrovia on Lemon St. Parking is on the street or behind the shops. The restaurant is very colorful and small. When you check in for your table, the minutes they quote you is real. I saw a table leave, got cleaned up, and it sat empty for the duration of my wait time (30 min). Im assuming it is allowing the kitchen to catch up on their orders. The food was delicious and the price is moderate for the quality. I enjoyed the food that was ordered and I will need to come back and try their other items.
The restaurant is located in old town Monrovia. There are various parking lots and street parking. Can get busy. I had to park a block away. Very cute cafe. I love all the decor and wall signs. I tried the special coffee flight (pistachio, horchata, marzapan and abuelita). All very tasty but I think my favorite was the marzapan. I also tried the birria omelette and so nice of them to let me replace the beans with salad for my dietary preference. My friend ordered the combo toast. The food was a little on the bland side but maybe next time I try their sweet dishes. Drinks were great tho. The lady who helped us was also a sweet. So nice and so helpful. Lots of indoor tables. Nice vibes.
My friend and I had been so excited to try this place but it was not worth it at all. I always love to support a Latino business but this one was not a hit. First the AC seemed to be on fan mode it did not feel like it was on. The space is very small and cramped. We decided to stay and let that go because we wanted to try the food but the food was mediocre. The salsa tasted like the one from the can and when it got us it was cold. The server was also not friendly at all and I get it sometimes we hate work. She seemed to just hate us. I honestly would skip this place and go have brunch at Sena.
This place is a cute little brunch spot, I brought both my sons. The service was quick, and polite. Very helpful with suggestions of the menu. I ordered the steak and eggs, for both myself and my son. It was decent. Definitely a place to go to if you're going to do some sort of celebration or just to catch up with friends or family.
Cute new brunch location in Monrovia! The staff was so incredibly friendly and I love the interior decor. They have so many drinks you can choose from, from mimosas to horchata to coffee. I tried the pistachio latte half sweet and it was still too sweet for me, so next time, I may just need to stick to a regular non sugar beverage. My bestie got the iced matcha with oat milk and said it was creamy and flavorful. We shared the salsa verde chilaquiles and the churro french toast. Both were delicious. Will be back next time I'm in the area. They have so many locations, check them out!
My daughter and I walked into Madres for a late Friday brunch. We were promptly seated, given menus and water. We split the Nutella French toast and the chilaquiles omelette, to enjoy both savory and sweet dishes. I had the house coffee and my daughter had the iced vanilla cold brew coffee, which she described as delectable. The Nutella French toast was quite thick slices of bread dipped in cinnamon egg batter, topped with a generous slathering of Nutella and grilled plantains. The chilango omelette was a generous portion of green chilaquiles, topped with sour cream and red onions. Our server was attentive and friendly. My coffee was nothing to brag about, it had bitter undertones. Overall it was a nice little breakfast place on the pricier side.
This location us easy to get here with all the street or public lot parking. There's lots of seating but can get filled during the rush hour. There's loads of fun artwork. The staff were nice and helpful. It can be difficult to find staff when it's a rush but that's expected when it's busy. But they do the payment at the table so it's quick. Their menu also comes with a QR code for special menu options. I for the abulita latte and it's pretty good. It definitely tastes like abulita chocolate and it's not too sweet. I got the oat milk so there was an extra charge. The One sandwich is big! I ended eating half and saved the rest for later. It was definitely a good amount of food. And probably the largest slice of bread I've ever had. The birria and consomé was alright. I wish the consomé had more flavor or a small kick. The potatoes were pretty good, hot and crispy. I'd return here again. There's lots of food I wanna try on the menu.
Had such a great brunch experience here! We ordered the French toast, chilaquiles, and two hot coffees, and everything was delicious. The food came out great and the service really stood out. The staff was so attentive and consistently checked up on us to make sure we were doing okay and had everything we needed. I even asked if they could reheat and refill my coffee, and they happily did without making me feel uncomfortable at all, which I really appreciated. Overall, such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Great food, amazing service, and a spot I would definitely recommend to others. Looking forward to coming back again!

Madres Brunch in Monrovia is such a great addition to the area! The food is beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor, and the atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for brunch with friends or family. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the menu and the overall experience. Congratulations to Madres Brunch on being recognized by the Dine Awards! Definitely well deserved. If you're in Monrovia and looking for a great brunch spot, this place is worth checking out. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. read more
Roses are red, the morning is bright, pass me the French, And toast it just right. So without further delay, let's begin this kook review. Madres Brunch (est 2025) is a new breakfast/brunch spot tucked in the middle of Old town Monrovia. They have 7 other locations throughout SoCal and a great addition to the neighborhood. It's interior design is modern with huge wall decorated with neon signs and colorful art work. Similarly, they have a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service staff. We came here late Sunday morning to grab breakfast. Its surprising that we did not wait and sat immediately. But it got busy by the time we left. Their food and drink menu was compendious with pink bold fonts and heart emoji. Food was a mixture of American and Mexican flavor. I personally find some of the food names funny such as "Divorciados" lol. One could imagine what it was. And no I did not order it. I had something more healthy meal--Salmon toast x salad and House blend coffee. Brioche toasts were thick, delightful and tasty but the salmon was dry and thin. Coffee was terrific. Luz, a young female service staff with beautiful blue almond eyes, was attentive and nice. Prices were fair for the area and reflects the food portion. Plenty of public parking lot in the surrounding area. Overall, I enjoyed having breakfast at MB and will come back again in a not too distant future. ;D I recommend you visit. read more

Super cute breakfast/brunch spot! The club sandwich was AMAZING and seriously huge & so filling! The chilaquiles were spicy but so delicious! They came with beans, eggs, and steak, and the steak was cooked perfectly. And the lattes were SO good! We tried the Abuelita latte and a white mocha with oat milk, and both were delicious. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! SERVICE WAS AMAZING Servers name was Adrina The general manager Steven was so sweet and made us feel super comfortable especially with our daughter who was being fussy! read more

3.5 stars. Nothing wrong per say but nothing blew me away either. The service was the highlight of my experience, as many others shared too. We arrived on a Friday around 11:30am and the place was packed! Luckily my friend and I grabbed an outside table. We ordered Michelada Flights, which were a little too sweet for me and one was incredibly salty (think beer, lime, salt). The Popeye Omelette was good but average. My friend had the Birria Omelette which looked & smelled fantastic. I love old town Monrovia and will give Madres another try. read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars. I've been wanting to try out this place since I see it on social media a lot. Since one finally opened up near me, I decided to give this place a try! I got the special of the month, lomo saltado chilaquiles, a pistachio latter, and an order of the churro French toast to share. I was a quite disappointed in the lomo saltado chilaquiles. The idea was great but it was definitely not lomo saltado. First of all, it has bell peppers. I've had quite a few lomo saltado dishes and I don't think they have bell peppers in it. It was also missing that "wok hey" that lomo saltado usually has. The chips also were too soggy for me. I like a good crunch to my tortilla chips. I was also quite disappointed that they didn't have that green spicy sauce that most Peruvian spots have. This was quite a miss in my book unfortunately. The churro fresh toast tasted exactly how it sounds. The bread was fluffy, perfect cinnamon taste, and I really enjoyed the churros on the side. I would recommend trying out their sweet brunch dishes as it seems like that is what they're known for. Since they just opened, they're still trying to figure out the logistics of service. I had no complaints but it does seem like the kitchen took a little longer to make your food. The space is well decorated and it started getting really busy as the morning went on. I hope for the best for this location but I am unsure if I would return. read more
This was such a let down! Came here on a whim based on the Yelp reviews and, ended up leaving disappointed. Husband ordered an omelet. Oh my goodness what a sad excuse for a breakfast classic! The meats were not even cooked into the eggs nor was the cheese. It was like they plopped it on there as an after thought!! My eggs... had HUGE chunks of egg shells in them!!! Best thing about the visit was the coffees we had before the food. We both had the pistachio, I had iced he had blended. We ended up getting it mostly refunded and went elsewhere. The manager was very nice and did apologize- but the damage was done. One other note/ the 2 TV's sat on the same channel which was of a female DJ spinning and just bouncing back and forth to the beat- 45 mins of watching this was.... Painful! read more
Madres Brunch has finally opened in Old Town so of course we had to try it asap and had an excellent first experience! All of our food was fantastic- delightful twists on old favorites - the lattes were flawless, service highly attentive and welcoming, and such fun, hip brunch vibes. It's pricey but the quality is there and we'll definitely be back. For our brunch feast we tried the pastor omelette, their eggs Benedict, and couldn't resist the churro French toast. We also tried the horchata latte and pistachio latte. I was especially impressed by how beautifully everything was plated and presented - definitely a feast for the eyes as well as the belly - even the lattes! The pork and pineapple in the hubby's pastor omelette was grilled to perfection with the most supple texture and excellent complementary flavors. The refried beans on the plate were some of the smoothest and most flavorful I've ever had - delicious and would get again. My eggs Benedict was the star of the show for me - such a fresh take on a classic fave. The eggs were perfectly poached with a velvety, runny yolk. They were delicately perched on top of some of the BEST muffins I've ever had - soft with an unexpected crust of some sort of butter or light cheese on top and none of that bitter aftertaste you get with the store bought English muffins. And it's topped with the most delightful cilantro- forward cream sauce - absolutely loved it and will return for this item specifically. Highly recommend! The churro French toast was also lovely! They use the thickest slices of fluffy brioche swirled with cinnamon and packed with flavor - topped with fried churro pieces and delectable sweetened condensed milk and whip cream - it's heavy and the portions are massive so we had to take most of it home. But it held up surprisingly well as our dessert the next day - it was still delicious even after microwaving! Our lattes were no less impressive - both decorative, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The pistachio was excellent and will be my go-to when we return. Their wall art is lively and so beautifully done - perfect for the vibrant LA brunch scene and an excellent addition to Old Town. They also have a virtual DJ spinning energetic tunes while you eat - and the volume isn't obnoxious- it's still easy to carry on the convo. Prices are high imo but totally supported by the quality - service was attentive and so friendly - we look forward to our next visit! And it's an excellent location down a quiet side street next to one of the public parking lots. Welcome to Monrovia! read more

I love cafes in downtown Monrovia and because this is not on Myrtle, it's a perfect spot surrounded by small shops ans restaurants. We had a 30 minute wait at about 1030am on a Sunday which makes sense. My mom and I went on a walk to kill time. By the time we got back, we were sat outside and were given the option to go inside too. We ordered the pistachio latte and abuelita frappe which were delicious. Both were not too sweet or overpowering. I ended up ordered the divorciados and my mom got the mole chilaquiles. It was the perfect amount and greatly flavored. I loved the combo of the red and green salsa which was not spicy, and it came with a baked potato in the middle which was not too big. The mole chilaquiles were smoky and delicious. For service, they constantly checked on us and that included the manager which we noticed they did for every table. It shows their dedication and they have only been open for about 3 weeks. We will definitely be back to try the omelet folded with chilaquiles. Thank you so much! read more
First time here. Came with my coworkers. Service was amazing! The staff was sooo friendly and soo accommodating! They seated us first outside but the table was really wobbly. They agreed to move us inside. And they took really great care of us. The food was yummmmm! I loved the ambiance. Didn't take pics of the food cause we were starving lol. But coffee was great. Can't wait to bring my hubby and son to try it. read more
This is a small spot, but it has a lot of character. The colorful murals on the walls give the place a vibrant feel adds to the lively brunch atmosphere. Even though the space isn't very big, it stays busy and energetic. The food was decent overall, and the portions were very generous. It's the kind of place where you definitely get a good amount of food for what you order. read more

Atmosphere was comfortable and cute. Food? I'll pass. We ordered the Chicken club and a breakfast combo. Sandwich was a disaster. WAY too big to bite into so I took one bread out and it all came apart. Did not enjoy it. Came with fries .. soggy.. and no ranch to go with them!! Breakfast plate.. just OK. Potatoes were cooked well but so bland. No flavor. The pancake? Absolutely terrible. Especially for a BRUNCH spot. Flat and starchy and no taste. Also, everything was WAY OVERPRICED! A bottle of Coke was $6!!!! Not a return costumer. read more

This was my first time at Madres Brunch and was excited to try their food. Their following online and reviews on Yelp are what pulled me into try. Unfortunately, the food was not worth the popularity they receive online. The food is beautiful online but in person was a huge let down. Bland and defiantly not a "made fresh" taste. We decided to order simple and something specialty. Ordered the birria Benedict and lacked flavor. The simple two egg breakfast with a $3 addition pancake was not good at all. Something simple lacked so much flavor. Pancake is definitely box mix. Ambiance is beautiful and has character but we also waited quite a while before we were even served. ( mind you, we were seated/waited before other parties) Overall all, our waitress was so sweet and kind. The only thing I would recommend from Madres Brunch is the Dulce de leche coffee. read more

Solid brunch place with a variety of sweet and savory options. We got the Ensenada omelette, birria omelette, rainbow pancakes and fruity pebbles pancakes (which came with a fun show). The omelettes were decently sized but not ginormous and the pancakes were huge. The pistachio latte was delicious. Our server was so sweet and attentive. It was pretty empty when we came in but got very busy closer to 11am. read more
