Shayne was every bit of amazing! I've worked in the restaurant industry for a very long time, so I pay close attention to customer service, and Shayne truly stood out. Her greeting to every single guest was personable, warm, and consistent. She made everyone feel welcomed, and I was so impressed that I actually had to tell her face-to-face what an amazing job she was doing. Luckily, I was also able to speak with her manager and give them kudos for hiring such a wonderful person. The experience all around was truly 10/10. Shayne is a great representation of what exceptional customer service should look like. I'll definitely be back! read more

Fire food, fire service! As we walked in I was told a 30 min wait but within ten min a table got cleared and also offered a booster seat so baby could be closer to me than a high chair, since we sat at booth. My server was Ingrid and she was so attentive to us! Will definitely be coming back here as me and baby loved it! read more

The hosting situation was a nightmare, and unfortunately, the way we were treated left a really bad impression. Which sucks because we were ready to drop some money on a good brunch! We checked in with our party of six and were waiting to be seated. Another party of six arrived after us--nicely dressed women--and they were seated before us. When we asked why they were seated ahead of us despite checking in after us, no one could give us an explanation. We had just come from our kids' local soccer game, so we were dressed like what we were: soccer parents. We were then seated outside, in what appeared to be more of a waiting area than an actual restaurant seating area. When we asked about sitting inside, we were told we would have to wait another 40 minutes. I personally approached the hostess to ask about the seating arrangement and why the other party had been seated before us. Again, there was no explanation. I don't want to jump to conclusions or accuse anyone of discrimination based on race, age, appearance, or anything else. However, the experience genuinely felt like we were being treated differently based on how we looked or were dressed. What makes it more concerning is seeing other reviews describing similar experiences. At the very least, the seating process needs to be more transparent and consistent. If there is a reason one party is seated before another, especially when they checked in later, the staff should be able to clearly explain why. Unfortunately, that did not happen here, and it made us feel unwelcome. I wish we didn't stay, but kids we were hungry. But I won't be coming here again or recommending this restaurant. read more

It was my first time visiting Marmalade Cafe! I made a reservation for a Sunday at 10am. When I arrived, it was busy but not overly crowded. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and there is plenty of parking. Inside they have a bar and the TVs were playing the football games. I ordered a fresh-squeezed orange juice and the Marmalade Breakfast which comes with bacon, eggs, potatoes, and toast. Everything was really good! It's a good breakfast spot to check out if you are in the area! read more

Came in today with a guest from out of town and decided on an old tried and true, but not what I would normally get. Simply put, that means bacon and eggs and little to no bells and whistles. But guess what? Everything came out to order, and once again this was another solid outing overall. And while the food is certainly not discounted or cheap by any stretch, all things being equal when you take into account the ac, (lol-it is super hot out here), the ambience, and a hopeful great server, you're going to win. The CSA (Customer Service All Star) of this experience was Pilar T. read more

We came on a Sunday before 11am and was told it would be a 30 minute wait. It ended up being a 50-55 minute wait. When we were seated we were given both the breakfast and the lunch menus. My friend and I already knew what we wanted from the breakfast menu, so we ordered breakfast items. I ordered the Florentine Benedict. It was good. The potatoes were nice and soft on the inside. The eggs were nicely poached and runny. Overall good. read more

One of my family friend's favorite places! The interior is super cozy and service is great!! They have taco tuesdays if I remember correctly which I think is a pretty good deal. Food wasn't like super unique and extraordinary, BUT it's a great place to just have dinner (i haven't been here for lunch) in a dim-lit environment! It was not busy at all when we went (this was during the holidays) so seating was super quick. read more

Had dinner with my fellow Ladies of the Elks of Westchester as we celebrated our birthdays. The appetizer we had was absolutely delicious, we had homemade potato chips and artichoke dip.

I didn't even get a chance to order my food. The server was an absolute nightmare. He rushed off when I asked him questions and got an attitude. We had a large party celebrating a going away.

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant unless they train their staff to be pleasant to all parties of age, race, and cree read more

We went yesterday for Dine LA and had a good experience. The wait staff was very friendly. They were running low on some items and were sure to let us know. We ordered the French onion soup to start. It was salty, but good. I wish the cheese was a little hotter and meltier. For the main we got prime rib. The prime rib was great. The green beans were delicious. The mashed potatoes were not good. Lastly, we got dessert. I got the tiramisu which was absolutely delicious. My sister got the crème brûlée and it was good. We also got Mojitos and they were all right. read more

I ordered the blackened chicken penne, lemonade, and bread pudding. The chicken was thinly cut with less dry area inside. I like that the pesto sauce was light. The order came with lots of pasta and it was more than one serving for me. I like that the lemonade was just right amount of sour taste. The server came frequently to refill my drink. The bread pudding was very sweet. I like that it came with one scoop of vanilla ice cream. read more

I got the Seared Blackened Ahi and Napa Slaw. It also came with big tostada that you can break off and eat with the Ahi and slaw. The dressing is light and keeps the entire meal feeling and tasting fresh. I also ordered the tiramisu for dessert. It was pretty good. read more

Decided to stop in and try the marmalade café here in El Segundo after seeing them on the Dine LA list and also that they had a good number of reviews. Not sure if there's more of a lunch and brunch spot butI came here for dinner on week night and it was kind of rough. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to them and being short staffed. Overall, it was just kind of a long and interesting one and done experience. I could tell that my waiter was probably the only one there and it took an unnecessarily long time for dinner. He was very attentive in the beginning and took my order right away and then came the waiting. I got the tuna tartare, prime rib, creme brulee. Food turned out just okay. The sourdough bread that came during my entree was pretty good actually. I was glad I had eaten a little bit before, and I was intrigued by their happy hour menu. So decided to do get to the restaurant slightly earlier but then ultimately decided just to get the dine La menu. From the reviews in general here, people are having great dining experiences here. I'm not really sure what happened tonight. read more

This Marmalade Cafe location is off the beaten path therefore it is not quite as busy as the other locations. It has a large dining room with plenty of seating and some outdoor seating as well. Plenty of parking in the lot as well. This was our first visit to this location. We were greeted when we arrived, the host staff were very friendly. Our server was acceptable but not as attentive as we are used to at the other locations. We love Marmalade as they have a great selection for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Between the three of us we ordered the pancakes and eggs with bacon, bacon and eggs, and the bagel with lox. All the food was fresh and cooked as ordered. The bacon is very good and was cooked perfectly. Th espresso choices are nice as well. The portions are large to either fill you up or enough to take home. If you haven't been to a Marmalade I highly recommend them for consistent yummy breakfast, lunch or dinner. This location did not disappoint. read more

3.5/5! Points to this place for being able to seat a party as large as 22. We tried the chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, and tacos. The food was adequate though the burrito was a little less flavorful than other burritos we have had. The sauce helped the dishes a lot. We also tried the mango and original mimosa which were both really good. Service was also very attentive which we greatly appreciated. read more

They should not advertise "vegan options" as the only vegan breakfast option on the menu is the fresh fruit. So it was a mashup of toast and fruit and avocado. My companions enjoyed their egg white omelette and avocado toast which were made with fresh ingredients. Both vegetarian. The restaurant is pleasant as a wide open space with TVs above the bar showing sports (Sunday am). The service was average. Friendly. read more

Your neighborhood diner meets cutesy and trendy. Marmalade Cafe is in such a fun hub of LA near both the airport and Manhattan Beach; it's a great place to visit if you're relatively local or arrive/departing from your trip to LA! I visited 8:30am on a Tuesday morning and it was pretty empty inside. The service was friendly and very quick, and the breakfast items were delicious! I ordered the three ranch eggs (sunny side) which came with roasted potatoes and sourdough bread. It was a good serving that kept me full for most of the day. Simple but so much flavor! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Marmalade Cafe in El Segundo was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. I was dining on the patio with a friend and my service dog. At the time, there were only a couple of other occupied tables, so the restaurant was not busy. Our server, Allison, was repeatedly distracted by a young child from another table instead of attending to her customers. I even have video showing her spending significant time playing with and following the child around while we waited for service. When our food finally arrived, it was brought by another employee and my order was incorrect. I sent it back twice, and after waiting with no follow-up from Allison, I eventually had to go inside the restaurant myself to ask for assistance because she had not checked on us. When Allison finally came outside, I simply asked to have my meal boxed to go because the experience had already been so disappointing. What happened next was completely unacceptable. A man who was not our server--and who I later learned was apparently the husband of another waitress--came outside and began verbally attacking us. He yelled at us, threw wads of money at us, and told us to leave. He even made comments implying that no one wanted us there because we had a dog and were seated on the patio. No customer should ever be treated this way, especially by someone who wasn't even serving the table. Angel, the assistant manager, tried to help, but unfortunately the situation had already escalated far beyond what should ever happen in a restaurant. I seriously considered calling the police because of how aggressive the confrontation became. After leaving, I called the restaurant and spoke with Angel. I requested that the general manager contact me about the incident. That call was recorded, and despite being told someone would follow up, I never received a call. Everyone can have a bad night, but this went far beyond poor service. It involved incorrect food, inattentive service, an aggressive confrontation by someone who should never have been involved, and a complete lack of follow-up from management. I sincerely hope Marmalade Cafe reviews its customer service standards and its policies regarding who is permitted to confront guests. No customer should ever leave feeling humiliated or verbally attacked after simply trying to have dinner. read more

Mmmmarmalade. Great food and a pleasant atmosphere. Three of us dined on an early Saturday evening, and it wasn't busy at all. Our reservation was for 5:45, and as we found out, it was completely unnecessary. There were less than a dozen of us patrons there at the time. I thought, uh oh... The uh oh didn't materialize. Other than being a bit lonely, (not that my guests weren't entertaining, they're usually good for a laugh, and that evening they didn't disappoint) everything went off without a hitch. Well,... not exactly. My girl ordered a glass of wine with her salmon, and she being a connoisseur of that particular brand, detected an off taste. That wouldn't do, especially at $15 a pop. Our waiter was hailed and he promptly brought another glass. A different blend of course. Perfect. I joked with my lady that she reminded me of a character from an episode of Columbo. A wine connoisseur murder suspect was caught because of his expertise in the delicate art of detecting subtle differences in taste. She shook her head and said "who watches Columbo anymore". Ha! I do! As a matter of fact, I'm watching an episode as I write this review!! My pot roast was fantastic. The salmon, wonderful. You'll find the same I'm sure. Quick Tip: Most of you don't know who Columbo is. If you don't know, you're missing out. Fill the file between your ears with a few tv episodes. You'll be able to draw upon it for amusing anecdotes to entertain, or mystify your audience. LoL, much to their disdain. read more

Great breakfast/brunch place! Waiters were so nice and the food was delicious! I had the chicken and waffles! The chicken was seasoned well not dry. I would definitely recommend. My fiancé had the steak and eggs. Portions were huge and steak was deliciously seasoned. read more

We came for an early 4pm dinner before heading out to Sofi Stadium for a concert. The parking lot was pretty much dead and I thought the restaurant was closed and was surprised it was open. Also, I thought the reason for the emptiness was simply because we are eating fairly early on Sunday. That was probably a sign of what's to come but I didn't pay attention. The service was great. Our server was attentive. We liked our happy hour drinks, and the dessert, and the second replacement coffees. Cons: the calamari was super salty, we poured spoilt creamer into our coffees and I should have realized the texture was off when I poured. Our server was very nice and apologized. The spinach dip wasn't that good. I recall Marmalade Cafe had really great food and service but yesterday was not a good experience. Perhaps we will go back, but to a different location. read more

If you want breakfast or lunch come to Marmalade Cafe. I first went to the Marmalade Cafe in Santa Monica for lunch, but came to the El Segundo location for breakfast. It was so good. I went for the classic waffles and they were delicious. My friend chose to get a basic egg, sausage and toast plate. We were both happy. The service was great and the place is pretty big. Tons of free parking. read more

Brunch at Marmalade -- Decent, but Pricey Landed at LAX a bit earlier than expected and, being back in SoCal after a conference in Portland, I was in the mood for brunch. While taxiing to the gate, I texted my daughter (who lives nearby), and lucky me -- she and her boyfriend were free. We made a plan, I grabbed my rental car, and met up at Marmalade. Parking: Easy and plentiful.Timing: Saturday morning around 11 a.m., surprisingly, no wait. Our server was super pleasant, professional, and took care of us quickly. The food: Not bad overall, but a couple of misses. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with lox and specifically asked for the eggs to be poached medium (not runny). Unfortunately, they still came out runny. Could I have sent them back? Sure, but I was hungry and didn't want to wait. Such is life. The bigger issue for me was cost vs. value. I don't mind spending money when dining out, but our total for three breakfasts -- a lox scramble, pancakes with scrambled eggs, and my eggs Benedict with lox, plus three coffees -- came to about $85 + tip. For what we got, it felt steep. Final thought: Would I go back? Maybe -- but probably not for brunch. read more

I love Marmalade Cafe. I've been coming here for brunch for the past five years. Even though I do not come often, I find that the quality of the meal remains high. Now, I can only speak of their breakfast and brunch options-I actually have never had lunch or dinner here. Just recently, I went for brunch with my sister and sister-in-law. I usually order the Classic Eggs Benedict which was absolutely scrumptious. The poached eggs were perfectly runny without the eggy flavor. I have always appreciated their home fries which are smoky in flavor, yet crispy on the outside with a fluffy center. I am also a fan of their crab cake eggs benedict which has no fishy flavor. I am not sure what spices they use, but it pairs well with the eggs benedict profile. The crab cake is pan-seared which gives the benedict a crispy texture that accompanies the smoothness of the poached egg. My sister ordered the CHAR-GRILLED STEAK & EGGS breakfast which she gave a double thumbs up! My sister-in-law ordered the CROSS CREEK BREAKFAST which she enjoyed, especially because of the pancakes. I have never had pancakes at Marmalade but my family looks forward to them. I'm just not a pancake girlie. Since it was lunchtime, I decided to order the Reuben Sandwich with a side of Caesar Salad. I lived on the east coast for a few years and have had some of the best reubens and pastrami sandwiches. Marmalade's Reuben was not my favorite because the corned beef was kind of fatty. I don't like the texture of fat, so I found it off-putting. Now, I place the fault on me, not the restaurant. Why? Because my sister tried the sandwich and really liked it. She actually ended up finishing it for me! I am just extremely picky with my sandwiches. The salad was also very good!. Do not let this dissuade you from trying Marmalade Cafe. read more

This place has the great food, ambience, service, decor and plenty of space for large groups. On the weekends it gets crowded here for breakfast so get here early or you will need to take your patient pill. The hook for me is the breakfast! There is healthy options also. Above the bar they broadcast sports on display. Make reservations on the weekends for dinner, this place is popular. The food sells itself. We usually eat at the Long Beach location but this sister location is a home run. We'll be back! read more

Our experience at Marmalade Cafe was wonderful! The food and service were both outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by such a friendly and welcoming host, and our server was equally amazing. We had a party of 10, and our server was incredibly attentive. He made sure everyone was taken care of and got all of our orders correct, which we really appreciated with such a large group. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals. The only small downside was that one of the three steak and egg plates we ordered was supposed to be cooked medium-rare, but unfortunately came out well-done. Nonetheless, it was still delicious! We came here to celebrate our baby's baptism, and we're so glad we chose Marmalade Cafe for the occasion. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back! read more

I had been wanting to come here for a very long time. Finally came in for brunch and we all loved it! I really enjoyed my BLTA - but please note, I noticed the lettuce was kind of dirty, I cleaned it off with my finger and yes indeed in was dirty!! My boyfriend got the Bloody Mary and did not like it. He sent it back and instead got the agua Fresca but that was very sugary and not good. I shared my orange juice with him and that one was a 10/10!! Other than that; my son loved his lobster shrimp linguine and my daughter liked her fettuccine Alfredo. Service was great! I will be back to try other dishes! read more

I thought his portion looked a little small, but he was quite content after eating the toast and fruit. My sister had the crab cake Benedict, was just okay.

We came in after the lunch rush so there was no line and we were seated right away. The hostess and servers were all friendly and attentive, and there was very little wait time for our food or drink refills.

Everything we ordered was delicious - chips and guacamole, turkey melt (with a yummy chipotle aioli), sweet potato fries, burger, club sandwich... Both indoor and outdoor seating is available.
