    Full Order of Sweet Potato Fries
    Olivia P.

    Staff was super friendly and I love that they have outdoor seating. The sweet potato fries were undercooked and the Petite Italian Egg dish was so bland. Do not get the petite Italian egg dish. There is no flavor, the eggs were overcooked, and the bread was burned and wasn't good. BUT the meal was salvaged with their metro special banana pancakes. These pancakes were perfectly fluffy and stuffed and topped with bananas and some caramel sauce. So good and is the reason I am eating this place so high.

    3 Strawberry Pancake, Spicy Italian Pork Sausage, and 3 Bacon Strips
    Kim T.

    Located right under a Travelodge. There is a parking structure next door but I'm not sure if you can park there unless you are staying at the hotel. We found some street parking but it's definitely challenging. They have a few spots outside and plenty of seating inside. We were greeted warmly and got sat at our table. First thing I noticed was that the prices were high. Maybe it's because it's LA or it's under a hotel, but I was still shocked. Pork sausage and bacon: 2.5/5: I asked the bacon to be crispy, but it still came out soft. The pork sausage was good. Glad it wasn't small given the price ($6). Strawberry pancakes: 3/5, I liked how there were strawberries on the inside. They were fluffy and soft but nothing stood out. Breakfast sandwich: 3/5, My boyfriend said it was okay. Majority of the sandwich was egg and it was overwhelming. Good amount of food tho. There's definitely better breakfast spots around. Happy I got to try it but I won't go back.

    French Toast with fresh fruit
    Joaquina F.

    The service staff was very friendly. We went on a Sunday morning, it was busy and waited a little for our food. The food was great! We had a couple of the scramble plates and French toast. Although it was busy, we were able to hear each other and have a conversation.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Hanna T.

    Came Monday morning and got seated quick. Servers are really accommodating and quick! breakfast sandwich, 4/5: Huge portions and has all the fixins. There was also a plum inside the chunky avo/salsa? Overall good taste, but it's just wasn't crave worthy... the side potatoes were thinly sliced and pan fried, so delicious! Even the slices that weren't crsipy were so goooodd; this should be how all potatoes are cooked, much better than tots, fries, or wedges. All the dishes came with a side of cataloupe, which was so sweet and a nice touch.

    One of the best breakfast spots on the west side. Get the banana pancakes! Service is always spot on. Tons of street parking.

    Italian Omelette
    Calbert C.

    I honestly wasn't expecting much from Metro Cafe since it was right under our hotel and it wasn't on our itinerary but I am so glad to have gave them a try. Everything we ordered was delicious including the California Omelette, Italian Omelette, and French Toast. All the ingredients in both the omelettes tasted light and fresh. I usually prefer savory foods but the French Toast was surprisingly my favorite. The pieces of toast were thick and crispy and felt like such a treat with the butter and syrup. The space felt a little tight but the service was amazing. Our coffees and waters were consistently being filled to the point that I had to stop them to prevent waste. We even got a discount for staying at the hotel above. Highly recommended!

    Found this place through a Google search for "breakfast". I got lucky that there was parking in front and it wasn't very busy. I was seated quickly but it went downhill from there. I waited to order, waited for coffee refill that I didn't get, and then had to go ask for my check. It's a nice, clean place. The prices are tourist prices but I have to say my food was DELICIOUS. I ordered an omelet and it came with potatoes that were brilliant, toast, and a piece of cantaloupe. I ate it all. I'll probably go back for the food when I'm in that area and maybe the service will be a little better.

    I came here for a quiet breakfast my last day in LA and it was an enjoyable experience. I parked down the street (free street parking that day) and was one of the few customers in the morning so was seated quickly. I'm not a big breakfast fan but sometimes if I'm in the mood a hearty breakfast will warm me right up. I ordered their petite Italian toast, which was scrambled egg seasoned nicely on bread, along with a side of sausage and a matcha latte. Definitely more than I usually eat on a weekday morning but it was nice to enjoy my food in a serene corner that was great for people-watching. There are seats outside as well if you prefer to consume your food outdoors with a breeze. The matcha latte was just the right size, giving me a little boost without making me feel too wired. Prices were standard for cafes in this area. The only downside is that there wasn't any WiFi, making this cafe not an ideal place to do work. However, if you're here to have conversation over a good meal, you'll probably enjoy the food and atmosphere.

    3 Buttermilk Pancakes
    Dennis Z.

    I went there for the buttermilk pancakes and it's was very delicious and filling. The servers were on top of their job and made sure I was well served. The place is next to a hotel so guest can just walk to it. Seating is indoor or outdoor. Pretty decent crowd, but not too crowded.

    California Omelette
    Jessica B.

    Stayed at Travelodge Culver City during my stay in LA and Metro Cafe was right below it. Usually hotel lobby food are not good, but to our surprise this place is amazing! Although, the ownership seems to be separate, the hotel offers a $10 voucher to the cafe. The cafe has outdoor and indoor seating, but we requested indoor as the outdoor was right on the sidewalk. The prices for the food was reasonable but the orange juice for $9 was quite steep for me and I did not get to try it. My sister and my boyfriend did order the coffee though and it was unlimited refills. Amongst 4 people, we shared two omelettes and a French toast since everyone was not a pancake person. The Italian and California omelettes were both equally as good and I would order both each time. The cheese and tomatoes in the Italian was so good! And so was the avocados and spinach in the California. The French toast did not disappoint as well. Very fluffy and went perfectly well with the homemade raspberry jam and syrup. Would definitely come back if I'm in town again! Also, Lupe was very attentive and provided excellent service throughout our meal!

    I met a friend here for a late lunch on a Sunday. We arrived around 1:30 PM and had no problem…read moregetting a table, but I hear there is a wait during peak hours! There is also free parking underground in the building! We started by splitting a bottle of Brut ($28) which came with 2 juices to mix. I'd probably skip the guava next time... it came as a super thick puree that didn't mix into the bubbly, even with stirring. But they offered orange, cranberry, grapefruit, lychee, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting! The food menu and drink menus were great, with almost an overwhelming number of options. I decided on the shrimp and ricotta frittata, my friend ordered the jambalaya, and we split the house-baked coffee cake. You can upgrade anything with bacon to include Jurassic Pork (thick-cut bacon cooked in brown sugar) so why not? Everything was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, and the portions were large. I loved the little details on everything... egg-shaped salt and pepper shakers and cute little chickens on my side dish of sour cream. We also noticed that the servers were all super nice, attentive, and they just seemed to enjoy working there and to be having fun. One of them recommended bars we could go to after they closed, and we saw a group of them hanging out at the same bar. We just picked up on good vibes overall. Breakfast Republic is at a great location in Downtown Culver City and you can make an afternoon or day of it, with everything else in walking distance.

    Breakfast Republic has become one of my favorite breakfast spots. The food is consistently…read moredelicious, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the menu offers something for everyone. I'm especially obsessed with their sensational and strong Bloody Marys--perfectly crafted and packed with flavor. The shrimp and yellow polenta is a standout dish that's rich, comforting, and unique. Their breakfast burritos are generously portioned and always satisfying, and the lattes are expertly made and the perfect way to start the day. Whether you're meeting friends, treating family, or simply enjoying a leisurely weekend brunch, Breakfast Republic delivers a fun and memorable dining experience every time. Highly recommended!
