Went to have breakfast there the other day with my husband and my family. It was my grandchildren birthday. Service is fantastic. The food is really good there we used to go there a lot before but we moved, but we went to have breakfast. I'm going back again. read more

This place feels like stepping back in time in the best way. It's the kind of diner where a lot of the regulars are seniors, everyone seems to know each other, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The service was genuinely kind and made us feel right at home. The food was pretty average, but the cozy, nostalgic vibe and wonderful service are enough to bring me back. I read more

Love coming here to eat with coworkers. They have the best friendly service and great tasting food. I often come here to grab a quick bite to eat before heading back into the office. The owner Genie is nice and always comes by and greet us regulars. I like how this place has good American breakfast and lunch foods as well as some fusion Korean foods. Mu all time favorite is their lox scramble with a side of banana nut muffin and their Turkey avocado croissant sandwhich. Everything is made fresh here and you don't have to wait long to enjoy your food. Cozy indoor ambiance as well with back open area dining. read more

After a 4-mile hike with my Fit Body friends, one of them suggested we stop by Nano Café for breakfast and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home. They even brought us a warm cinnamon roll to share at the table, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. For my meal, I ordered the poached salmon eggs Benedict with hash browns, and it was outstanding. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the salmon was fresh and flavorful, and the hollandaise sauce tied everything together beautifully. The hash browns were golden and crispy, just the way I like them. To top it off, I had a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice that was refreshing and tasted like it came straight from the orchard. The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. The ambiance is cozy and laid-back, with charming decorations that make it a comfortable spot to relax after a hike or just to enjoy a weekend breakfast. Even the bathroom was spotless, which I always appreciate when dining out. Overall, Nano Café is the perfect spot for breakfast or brunch. Between the warm hospitality, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, it's definitely a place I'd recommend and plan to return to. Plus, it's an ideal stop after a workout or hike with friends great food, great vibe, and the perfect way to refuel together. read more

Nano Cafe is such a gem! From the moment you walk in, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, giving it that true mom-and-pop feel. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, with a very home-like vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. I usually come here for breakfast, and the food never disappoints--everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. While breakfast is my go-to, they also offer really good lunch options that are just as satisfying. If you're looking for a comfortable spot with great food and genuine hospitality, Nano Cafe is definitely worth a visit. read more

Great delicious homestyle food in a warm atmosphere. Nothing fancy, just comfortable. Menu has a wide variety of offerings. Portions are generous and the service is beyond compare. The workers are so nice and take the best care of you. The only warning I would give is don't sit on the patio if you are sensitive to sound because there is quite a bit of street noise there. Inside you don't hear the noise. We definitely look forward to returning here for many meals. read more

This is a cozy place that's great for a chill get together with friends and family. There's a small lot for parking but also street parking possible. The service is fairly quick and staff are nice.

We were staying at a hotel in the Monrovia/Pasadena area and asked the staff where we could a good breakfast (we missed the hotel breakfast by a few minutes). Nano Cafe was recommended above all the other local diners. The restaurant is small but has a comfortable, cute, screened patio with a lovely mural, and the April weather was perfect, so we sat outside. Walking through, we could see that the place was packed with a diverse crowd. The menu is extensive, and they have specials. I started with Korean iced coffee. My sis ordered the crepes with Nutella, banana, strawberries and cream, and I ordered the eggs Benedict, and we split both dishes. The Bennies were good, but the crepes were outstanding! They were dense, with just the right amount and combo of toppings. Sis (who is a chef) said "this is the perfect crepe." She said the thickness was perfect. Surprisingly, the crepes seemed substantial enough to get us through an afternoon of activity. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures once the food was here. Our server was friendly and helpful. She kept our drinks refilled and asked us how we liked the food. We really liked Nano Cafe and will be sure to thank the local who referred us. read more

Stopped in for my first time this past weekend and can honestly say the staff is some of the nicest that I have ever encountered but they forgot our order for a table of two after we placed it so after waiting 50 minutes, our breakfast finally came out. Inside is quite small, but they do have indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating which is where we sat. There is another location up in Sierra Madre this location being the second. There is a small free parking lot attached so we were able to find a parking spot right out front. Otherwise, it will be free street neighborhood parking. As mentioned, the staff was extremely polite and very apologetic once they realized they forgot our order, and they even comped our drinks, which I think really made up for it. We weren't in a time rush, but otherwise waiting for 50 minutes for a couple of breakfast orders was a bit extreme. We ordered an omelette which was very large and tasty and a Bacon Benedict, which I really enjoyed. The eggs were done perfectly and it had some great flavors. We also tried a Cinnamon Roll and it was honestly great. The only issue that we had was the very long wait time for food. Otherwise it was a very nice experience. I would give this place another try in the future and would suggest if you are in the Monrovia or Sierra Madre area. read more

Absolutely the best way to start any day. The food, the staff, and the environment are stellar. It feels like going to a relatives house. Michaeleen and Barbara will wake you up and brighten your day instantly! The fried chicken and waffles comes with whole half chicken! Best fried chicken I've ever had, too. I'll warn you if the cinnamon roll. Once you try it, you will not be able to pass it up ever again. It's actually ridiculous how yummy it is. read more

The potatoes were chewy and yukie. A waitress told me she doesn't eat at the restaurant. -- the food takes to long to come out!

I got the pancake combo and their pancakes are consistently delicious. The bacon was nice and crispy and the eggs were great topped with cheddar cheese. My mom enjoyed her Belgium waffle even though it wasn't crispy like she likes. Definitely love coming here tho. Service is very friendly and they checked on us every so often. I'm going to suggest we come here more often lol read more

Extensive menu with loyal community customer base. Great service and comfort food with a K-town flair.

Nano Cafe has a friendly vibe and welcoming service. The menu is extensive, giving plenty of options to choose from. We enjoyed the local feel, and the heated patio was perfect for accommodating our big group. Parking is easy with a private lot.

Both locations will always be my favorite breakfasts spots, but today at Monrovia Nano, I got the Monrovia Poutine! It was sooooo good.

I love that this brunch spot is a Korean-American fusion of yum! They have some amazing creative dishes here. I wanted to highlight some underrated dishes. First off, their bowl of chili is amazing. It's so tasty. Seasoned well with a perfect balance of cheese and beef, it's definitely a bowl of hearty goodness in itself. The vegetable omelette is also really good. Packed with a mix of mushroom, spinach, carrots, zucchini, celery, squash, etc it is the perfect vegetarian omelette. Service can be challenging since they always seem to be very busy. Patience is key here. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's such a cute diner to have a family brunch or a get together with friends. read more

Nano Cafe is a small and cozy diner, serving American breakfast and many more. The service here was amazing. The waiters/servers are welcoming and friendly. We love the vibes and the positive environment. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with over-medium eggs and biscuits smothered in gravy. My meal was comforting and I love how my hashbrowns was cooked perfectly with the right amount of crispiness. My partner ordered the Pork Chop with scrambled eggs and a side of sourdough toast. He agrees with me on how delicious their hashbrowns were! He did note that the Pork Chop was on the drier side but he still liked the flavor, hence why we didn't fully give them a 5-star. Also, a side we ordered took a while, so our server did give us complimentary dessert to-go. I appreciate the amazing service and recommend this place for everyone to try! read more

I ate breakfast at this restaurant and the food was delicious! The bacon was fried perfectly, pancake was fluffy, and the cheese & eggs were scrambled just right. The waitress was friendly and always there for our service. This is the first breakfast restaurant that felt like home in California. I was visiting family and a friend traveling from Atlanta, GA. The atmosphere was unique. I will be returning to this restaurant on my next trip to California. read more

We enjoyed the location and service, but the food was just ok. Came in on a Thursday before noon. Hubby ordered eggs over medium, bacon and pancakes. His breakfast was served a couple minutes before mine. Looked good, and I could smell his pancakes, so I was encouraged they would be amazing. The were good, basic. Pancakes are a preference food. I prefer mine on the dense side, more like a cake than airy & fluffy. I also like the pancake itself to have the sweetness, not dependent upon syrup absorption for flavor. Nano's pancakes tasted like a mix, light & airy, but not flavorful. The over easy eggs were perfectly cooked and the bacon strips looked yummy. I ordered the ham and cheese omelette and was disappointed. The "cheese" was 2 American single, processed squares. The ham seemed to be along the lines of a Danola processed ham. The omelette wasn't completely cooked, so runny in the center. My fries were thick cut, which I like, so I'll say those were yummy. I also got a biscuit, instead of toast. But, unfortunately, I'm not sure what kind of biscuit it was. No flavor and very crumbly. I didn't detect any buttermilk so, again, not sure if it was just flour, milk, baking soda, oil. Service was friendly. Parking was good, and we liked the screened in patio area, but I think I'll try another diner in the area if I'm back this way for breakfast. Cheers! CC read more

Spent the night here in the Arcadia/Monrovia area for the first time and of course we have to look for a new breakfast place. And so I started my yelp search. I started scrolling and found Nano cafe.. so glad we decided on this quaint little cafe. Their specialty menu features a variety of Korean dishes.. so of course we wanted to try the kimchi fried rice with sunny side up eggs.. it looked so good that I forgot to get a pic before downing it... delicious and flavorful.. after that, we ended breakfast with sourdough French toast.. we will definitely be back !! Service was awesome as well!! read more
