Martha's is an almost perfect breakfast spot. Heck, even lunch. Food is solid, staff is usually helpful and friendly (usually, though we've observed a few bad days with the staff). Great location. Short walk to the beach after your meal. Go early or prepare to wait a bit. I'd say 15-20 mins for a couple and double for a larger party than 4. read more

Oh Martha. We gotta have a talk girl. What is going on? I stopped by on a Sunday about 11:30ish for a party of 2. We got sat pretty quickly as this place was busyyyy. busyyy worker bees. Everyone was wanting to get a seat at Martha's! I only waited about 20 minutes if that. Not too shabbyyyy ! I started with an iced Spanish latte as I love my Spanish lattes. This is where everything started going downhill. First sip, questionable. Second sip, even more questionable. Mix the coffee with the straw for a minute, another sip, even worse. It tasted like I was drinking the water from a burnt coffee bean with a hint of cinnamon. It was NOT good. I was very sad. I ended up ordering an iced chai latte as a secondary choice.. because how hard is it to mess up a chai? WELP. It was managed to be messed up as well. How?! Martha girl, who was making the drinks this day, cause nuh uh, more training now. The iced chai latte was watery. It did not resemble a chai at all, even the color was weird. I took 2 sips and never finished either drink. I had my counterpart try it-- mind you, I took a sip and gave no reaction to not bias my counterpart. Once they tried it, they were just as astonished to how horrible both drinks were. They ordered the banana bread latte. oh my-lanta. Artificial, sweet, sour banana flavor, he had it switched out for a blended pump shake that was much better-- REALLY sweet, but they loved it. For the breakfast option, I ended up ordering the huevos playa. The hashbrowns were cooked evenly and tender. The sauce/salsa it was sitting in. not it. you're not that guy pal. tasted like pace salsa from a jar or something. that weird salsa taste that makes you aware that it is not home made. I did not like it whatsoever. The sour cream, guac and eggs were the only thing I enjoyed out of this dish. I would not order this again. The cinnamon pancake was the only thing that saved the experience, but even then, $17 for a singular pancake is absolutely insane. Overall, I was extremely, and I mean extremely, disappointed. I wish it lived up to all the social media hype that is around, but my taste buds were extremely unhappy leaving. Service was great, the lady removed the banana bread latte off our bill for not liking it, but I stayed with my 2 awful drinks. I ended up going to a coffee shop to fill my Spanish latte cravings after leaving. Parking is on the street, metered. fills up FAST. read more

If you're anywhere near the Strand, do yourself a favor and stop by Martha's 22nd Street Grill. This place is a true Hermosa Beach staple -- and yes, it's always packed for a reason. Between the ocean air drifting in and the option for indoor or outdoor seating, it's the perfect spot to soak in a classic California sun while enjoying an incredible meal. The atmosphere feels effortlessly coastal -- relaxed, welcoming, and full of good energy. The staff is genuinely amazing. Even when they're busy (which is almost always), they're attentive to every detail and make you feel taken care of from start to finish. The menu has a huge variety, so whether you're craving something indulgent or protein-packed, they've got you covered. Portions are generous and everything tastes incredibly fresh. The Eggs Manhattan? Poached to absolute perfection -- rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. And the Steak and Eggs bowl is tender, hearty, and packed with protein power. You definitely won't leave hungry. Martha's is more than brunch -- it's a Hermosa tradition. Highly recommend! read more

My Saturday breakfast group loves Martha's but weekends are always very crowded. We thought since it was overcast the place wouldn't be busy. WRONG assumption but luckily we got a table after 10 minutes.They were very busy but we had a server we've known for a long time. I had the vegetable omelet and one friend had the Thai scramble. Two people had the abc omelet and the other the white corn scramble. The abc omelet people said that was the most bacon they've ever seen and were very happy. Corn scramble person loved her omelet. Unfortunately the Thai scramble recipe had been changed with added cabbage which made the eggs cold. My omelet was packed with vegetables and was delicious. Service was good considering how busy it was. Still love this place. read more

Martha's is a great spot for brunch especially if you're bringing out of towners. It has a direct view of the ocean from their patio. I went with a group of Mom's and they were not thrilled about all of the strollers and babies. The server complained in front of us that it was difficult to seat other people at his open tables. I get that he wants his tables full but we definitely accomodated so other people could be sat there and our babies were not being loud. The other patrons were super nice about the babies and really lovely to us but the server and host (2 males of course) needed an attitude adjustment in my opinion. The food is good here though and I would come back with a smaller group. read more

Most amazing diner in Hermosa Beach for breakfast within a few feet of the sand . We had some friends from Egypt with us. For starters the California weather delivered in a way that makes you feel about how expensive it is to live here but then you couple that wit a great cup of coffee with some of the fluffiest blueberry pancakes on the face of the planet...it doesn't get much better than that. They have a very warm and welcoming staff and they are dog friendly as well. Buon appetito! read more

Had breakfast here with my daughter on a Wednesday morning. We got there at the crack of dawn, so there was plenty of seating available both inside and outside. By the time we left at about 8:30, it was already getting pretty busy, even for a weekday morning. The interior is comfortable and cozy. Lots of good breakfast choices on their menu. We both had omelettes and we substituted toast with one of their Cinnamon Bun pancakes ... which was pure genius! I would order that again and again. The omelettes were nicely made with lots of filling. And the hash browns were properly prepared - crispy on the outside and fluffy (fully cooked) on the inside. I asked for house made salsa and they gave me two - one red and one verde. Both were excellent. That was a nice bonus. Service was friendly and helpful and our food was served to us quickly. It was a great breakfast and I will be back here again soon. read more

Dined on a Tuesday around 1:00 pm. Our server was sweet, but did not check in on us often. We had to track her down to ask for a box after paying the tab. Their menu here is pretty varied, just not a lot of options for someone who is gluten & dairy free. Ended up ordering the chorizo sweet potato hash. It was good, but nothing super special. I was not expecting the chorizo to be hard sausage chunks. I guess I imagined soft ground chorizo. All and in, the food was decent. But service was a miss unfortunately. Would return to give them another chance! read more

Martha's - Chorizo Sweet Potato Hash - American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I've been coming to Martha's for a long time - mostly to entertain visitors - because as one reviewer wrote "the perfect breakfast spot". And more recently with our retired gentlemen's southbay breakfast club. We pick this spot for the convenience of our post-breakfast strand stroll. I'll give it 5 stars for the ambiance, location, and service; but only 2 stars for the food. All the times I've eaten here I've never had a meal that was "wow I gotta come back for that." It's more like "Eh...okay, gotta try something different next time." Granted it's always been breakfast... eggs and something. The place gets good reviews, a lot of guests really love it. And on a nice day it's outside is packed. read more

Martha's is in a great location just steps from the beach, which makes it a really nice breakfast or brunch stop. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was smooth overall. The food was decent with the steak and eggs bowl being the standout for us. Still, the atmosphere and beachside convenience make it worth visiting. arrive early if you don't want to struggle with parking because it fills up fast. read more

decent brunch spot and conveniently located next the beach. restaurant was very busy on a sunday afternoon but we got seated outdoors within 10 mins. service was attentive and food came out fast. we ordered the: * avocado toast - not sure what i expected, but was pretty plain. * cinnamon bun pancake - pretty tasty! cinnamon flavor really stands out. my friend was full after eating this dish. * stuffed french toast - tasted good. the fruit was fresh. * mimosas - opted for this since they ran out of skinny margarita. it tasted okay, my friend couldn't finish hers. overall, i enjoyed the ambiance. good pick to try at least once. read more

The Baseline: For a breakfast/brunch cafe the food must be hearty/filling/satisfying for the early morning, there must be a mix of sweet and savory to fulfill that brunch/breakfast need, and service must be a welcoming start of your day experience. Food: Breakfast, brunch, and lunch is the food fare for Martha's and oh... it is delicious and satisfyingly good. My item was the Potato Frittata Skillet and is my favorite of the breakfast skillet/bowl/etc. preparations. Bacon... good... cheese...good...potatoes... good...eggs...good. Seriously it is breakfast Americana to the maximum breakfast brunch output. Also coffee. Standard drip coffee that wasn't burnt or acidic. Warm, robust and great with the table cream I was given. A solid cup of coffee and looking out at the Hermosa Beach and Pacific was an awesome way to see this new year. You also cannot go wrong with the breakfast burrito but I tend to like a beans option with Mexican food items which was not available and is the reason I passed on the Huevos Playa. The Bacon Mushroom Onion Tomato omelette was also pretty filling option as you will find with any of Martha's omelette options. The lighter side is the Kale Caesar salad which was a vibrant array of greens that paired well with grilled chicken (which was a tad on the dry side). The Tuna Melt was a good option as well but would not have been my sandwich choice, especially since there is a Montecristo on the menu. Overall there is a sizable menu that does almost everything well at Martha's. Service: We had the honor of having Emma as our waitress and she was charming, engaging, and kind. Kept all of our needs met (full water glasses) and checked on us at a due proper amount. The food came out in an efficient manner after we ordered and made for a good service experience. Ambiance: Breakfast/brunch/lunch at the beach. That is a Winner, Winner, Martha's dinner experience right there. Comfortable seating and well laid out tables with a lot of people watching opportunities. The restaurant itself is homey and well adorned to give you a seaside feel for the decor. This holds up to the beach dining experience you come here for. read more

Martha's been here for decades. Good luck if you think you can eat here on the weekend. I think what it is, is that it's half a block from the beach. I could see the sand from where I was sitting. I came during the week, in the morning. The metered parking is free before 10AM. There were plenty of tables available around 8AM. Gentleman who worked there said I could choose to sit at any empty table. Tables are close to one another. I ordered a latte with oat milk and an avocado toast. The problem with this place is that the food looks better than it tastes. There were fresh ingredients on my avocado toast, but nothing special. I don't understand why it's always so crowded when the food is average. By the way, there are fly deterrents on every table outdoors. There was a noticeable amount of flies flying around while I was eating. Service was good. read more

Martha's is one of those beachside traditions. It has been around forever. The main thing you know about this restaurant is that it is very-very popular. Meaning, it is not uncommon that you're going to have to wait to get a seat at this restaurant. For that reason, I really suggest that you come either very early in the morning, during the week, or on the off-hours, if you hope to be seated right away. Because, there is often times a long wait to get a seat. In terms of what they offer for food, they really try. Though they really try, I am just not a fan of what they offer. Yes, they have a large amount of vegan items, as well as some very well prepared other dishes. But, though the meals are very well presented, I don't know, they just lack something? I've been coming to this restaurant on and off for decades. The menu has changed over the years, obviously. But, it has always remained a question in my mind, why this restaurant is so popular? I guess it's just due to its location. In terms of the overall service of the restaurant, the staff here tries their hardest. But, as stated, there's often times a lot of customers. From this, you may wait quite a while to be helped. Overall, Martha's is a Hermosa Beach tradition. It has been around forever. If you wanna grab a meal by the beach, this may be the place for you to go. read more

We've found our weekend go-to brunch spot in Hermosa. This place gets crazy busy during brunch hours, so definitely be prepared for about a 40-minute wait. That said, the ocean view makes the wait a little easier - it's right on the beach, and that alone adds to the experience. I ordered a horchata latte, and when it arrived, we were a bit surprised by how small it was for $7. The food itself was decent, especially considering how popular the restaurant is and its prime beachside location. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual, relaxing morning brunch in Hermosa - perfect if you're not in a rush and want to enjoy the ocean vibes. read more

Stopped in for my first time today and I was really impressed. Breakfast was honestly delicious and the location is hard to beat. It's located in Hermosa Beach really close to the actual beach. Parking in the area can be a bit difficult but spaces open up quite frequently, but it will definitely be metered, there aren't really any free parking spaces. We arrived around 10:30 for Sunday brunch and had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated for a party of two. The wait was worth it and even though we had to sit outside, it was covered and our server was polite and attentive. They have many tables inside as well as out so there are plenty of seating options. Inside and outside were both bustling and it was really busy, but service was still pretty quick. The menu has a lot of great options, but I decided to go with the Eggs California because I am a huge Benedict fan and I added chorizo which I would highly recommend. The chorizo and avocado combination is almost unbeatable, and I honestly loved it. The coffee was also strong and overall I thought it was a fantastic breakfast. I would say it's my favorite breakfast spot in Hermosa Beach and would recommend to anyone. read more

Power house protein packed breakfast, went with the steak & Eggs bowl, while the steak and eggs were delicious what really stole the show was the potatoes, they were oozing with cheese and blended in nicely with the shredded potatoes.

We love Martha's. It's like a staple in Hermosa Beach. Friendly neighborhood restaurant with good food. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Someone is always there to greet you with a smile and seat you fairly quickly (unless it's busy, usually weekends). We usually come for breakfast. I'm usually ordering the grain bowl because of all the fresh veggies, sweet potatoes, crunchy chickpeas, picked onions and eggs. Veggie havarti omelette is also good. They have a lot of veggies with havarti cheese to add that little saltiness. This time I decided to go for brunch because I wanted the curly fries. The grilled chicken sandwich was good. Curly fries were great and hit the spot. read more

Nice brunch spot in Hermosa just a stone's throw away from the beach. The location is also why it's perpetually busy but the turnover is also quick so you don't really wait too long for a table. The menu is rather extensive but nothing outside of standard brunch offerings in most restaurants. Food was solid but the coffee is meh. Service could be a bit more attentive as well. In short, I'm not necessarily raving about this place but it's a good spot to have on your back pocket for a brunch option in the area. read more

This place checks all the boxes for a great brunch spot. Good food, good local vibes, great location (right off The Strand/beach), and excellent service. We arrived around 8 AM on a Sunday morning, just two people, and had no trouble grabbing seats at the bar overlooking the patio. No wait at all. Perfect setting to catch up with a friend over brunch and some casual people-watching. The mimosa gave me just the right morning buzz, and the café latte hit the spot. The avocado toast was beautiful and felt substantial for the price. The Canadian bacon on the Benedict was delicious, too. No complaints. After 8 AM, it definitely starts getting busy, so expect a bit of a wait. Worth it. read more

I am in love with Martha's! They use quality ingredients and you can tell. The OJ was fresh squeezed, my latte was bold and flavorful. The stuffed French toast was the best thing I've ever tasted in my life. The presentation was beautiful. I also loved their eggs benedict, again, very fresh. The kids menu was pretty basic, but at least it wasn't bad. They literally tasted like they were McDonald's hot cakes and sausage. They have a lot of seating, inside and out. Beautiful views of the beach and very personable staff to help out. My nephew is non-verbal and our server dealt with him with extreme care and he had a great time. We will be back! read more

Stopped by Martha's after visiting a project close by and it was the perfect mellow brunch spot with coastal vibes. First off, the location is killer--right off the strand with ocean breezes and that signature Hermosa chill. Loved the outdoor seating under the giant umbrellas and the retro-style signage that says "It's Always Hermosa in Hermosa"--accurate. My coworker ordered the Chipotle Corn Quesadilla from the specials menu, and it was surprisingly flavorful for something so simple. It came with sour cream, guac, and pico, and the roasted corn + cheese combo hit just right. I got the bagel with lox and cream cheese--nothing fancy but solid quality and generous with the salmon. Service was friendly and efficient even with the steady flow of customers. Menu's got everything from benedicts to burgers to lavender lattes--something for everyone. Definitely want to come back and try the huevos playa or the shrimp avocado omelet next time. If you're looking for a laid-back spot to fuel up post-surf or just brunch with beach views, Martha's is a win. Rating: 4.5/5 stars I'll be back! Enjoy and Bon Appetit. read more

A friend and I decided to walk around the pier and asked for a brunch place that our hotel front desk would recommend...this place was high on their list. So glad we listened! The place was busy on a Monday morning, but we were seated right away. The menu offered so many options it was hard to decide what to pick. We were both happy with our meals and they were large and filling! If you are in the area looking for brunch I would also recommend this place! read more

Yummy place to grab some lunch with pretty outdoor seating! I got the roasted turkey on a croissant which was really good. Although if I was comparing this sandwich to the similar one I had at Cafe Bonaparte, I preferred the other one. The sandwich at Martha's tasted great but all the meat and lettuce was piled up right in the middle so when it comes out already cut in half, it felt like 85% of everything was piled up in the 3 or 4 bites in the middle and then most of the other parts of the sandwich didn't have much lettuce or turkey! The croissant used for sandwiches at Cafe Bonaparte was larger and softer and tasted fresher, and they piled up their meats and lettuce and other toppings in a more uniform fashion so every bite was filled with goodies. Both sandwiches were good but if I had to recommend a croissant lunch sandwich, absolutely go to Cafe Bonaparte. But I will say the curly fries here were SO GOOD. I loved them! Crunchy and delicious! Mom got the BLT and I had some of it and it was great. But gosh the sourdough bread was so thick, it was very filling for her. They layered quite a bit of bacon inside of it and the bacon also tasted fantastic. Overall this is still a great spot to stop in for breakfast or in our case lunch. But if you want the best croissant sandwich, I would recommend grabbing one from Cafe Bonaparte as the croissant they use are larger and softer and more airy and the everything in the sandwich is more evenly spread out. read more

I've been coming to Martha's for years (since my college days and I'm retired now!), as it's a local favorite of mine. I can't believe I've never written a review after all these years. My go to items are the breakfast burritos, stuffed French toast and the BLTA. On my recent visit I had the grilled rosemary chicken sandwich. The sandwich is topped with avocado, Swiss cheese, tomato, mayo on a sesame seed bun. The sandwich was decent, but the bun seemed to be bordering on stale. I could tell as I took each bite since the bun wouldn't hold together and it was on the dry side. I probably should've stuck with the breakfast burrito on this visit. The location of Martha's couldn't be better as its steps away from the beach. There's a fairly large patio with tables for al fresco dining which is also dog friendly. Parking could be a challenge especially during the peak summer months. There's only street metered parking. read more

This place was sooooo delicious that I almost forgot to take any pics. I don't know why the white corn scramble is so yummy but I can see why it's a fan favorite. The burrito was equally amazing. We opted for a side of fresh berries that were fresh and sweet. we are from the Midwest and the fresh berries in December just hit different. Fun fact if you sit at the bar inside you don't need to wait for a table. We also tried the chai tea - perfect blend of spice and sweet and temperature. The mimosas were a nice touch too. Additionally, the service was quick and on point even for a busy Saturday morning. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hermosa Beach. read more

I could see why many would frequent this spot. It's literally right on the beach and very quaint and cute. I truly had high hopes coming here, but overall I didn't love the food or the experience. It was a bit chilly the morning we came and we sat outside, so we ordered two hot cocoas to warm us up. The waitress looked a bit confused when we ordered them, but took our order and about 10 minutes later another employee delivered what she called two Hot Mochas. I'm honestly not sure if the two are the same thing in California, but my partner doesn't drink coffee since he doesn't enjoy the way it makes him feel and when trying to double check if what we received was the hot cocoa - well we weren't met with much help. Just a rhetorical question of "did you order the hot cocoa? Yes? Well that's hot cocoa." Uhhh, okay - not sure why it tastes like coffee then and was called a hot mocha but I digress. I personally enjoyed the hot drink, but my partner did not. I really was interested in the stuffed French toast and was the main reason I came here. Well unfortunately the stuff French toast wasn't all that great.... I ended up liking my partners chorizo scramble more. Food is decent here, so it's not a bad choice. I most likely would pass on it next time though. read more

Cinnamon roll pancake - OMG 100/10 First of all, this pancake alone will have you in a chokehold. It's soooooo good. The crispy caramelization of the sugar and the cinnamon around the edges is just Elite. They top it off with a little glaze over it that makes perfection. I believe her name was Katie--unless it's Kate, I'm not entirely sure. Management, please acknowledge this wonderful employee! She was such a delight, and her energy and enthusiasm made our brunch even better. Katie, you are the JAM! (Haha, inside joke.) Thank you for being awesome! She was just as thrilled to work there as we were to eat. The restaurant itself is a charming local favorite with an outdoor setting featuring patio umbrellas, just steps away from the beach.

We used to live in Manhattan Beach. Always enjoyed taking our kids to Martha's as they were growing up. An easy bike ride along the Strand. We visited on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026, for a late lunch. Wow, they've changed so much - better than ever. Our server, Erin O. was fantastic. We had a table of four and a new Maltese puppy. Erin was great in dealing with us all.

Martha's was recommended by a friend who grew up in South Bay. It's a casual yet lively place known for brunch and it's on the beach so be prepared to wait especially if you go on a weekend. Not surprisingly it was packed on a beautiful Sunday morning and the line never stopped the entire time we were there. We were lucky enough to find a spot inside at the counter which is on a first come first serve basis. Despite being busy, the service was still pretty good. The menu has lots of great options for breakfast and lunch. Think East coast diner with a California flair. Very vegetarian friendly as well. I opted for a grain bowl - made with quinoa, greens, cucumber, tomato, and avocado. Added tofu and yes to the fried egg on top. My friend ordered an omelette with potatoes and we both had lattes. Extremely generous portions so come hungry or take the rest home. The food was excellent. I see why it's so busy and locally recommended. read more

Came for Valentine's Day brunch, and the service was not good. For some reason, the server asked every party except us if we wanted to sit indoors or outdoors. Then we were led to a dirty table with a blueberry and some hashbrowns laying there. It should be the bare minimum to clean tables!! As for the food, stuffed french toast was really good and not super sweet. The eggs hermosa was nothing special - felt like it could be made at home. They just lightly toasted the english muffin, threw on a handful of raw spinach, put a sliced tomato with some salt, slightly fried the canadian bacon, and topped it off with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise sauce was very runny/watered down - not good. I asked for extra crispy hashbrowns, and it was yummy. Overall, I don't think I will come back. read more
