    The cinnamon roll was thick and well frosted. Lots of sugary goodness!
    Mike J.

    It is hard to believe that we have been in the area for years and have not been to Nano Cafe! Recently we have had breakfast there and had a wonderful time! The outdoor patio in front is a delightful relaxing space. We were seated promptly and immediately a friendly server had glasses of ice water placed in front of us as we perused the menu. We decided to order the Bacon and Eggs, the Blueberry Pancakes, and a Cinnamon Roll. The bacon was nicely crispy and thick. Yum! We chose scrambled eggs which were delightfully fluffy. As a side we decided on hash browns and these were nicely browned on the outside and well cooked on the inside. This was a very filling and tasty breakfast. The blueberry pancakes were nicely cakey with great blueberriness! Really liked the flavor of these pancakes. The cinnamon roll was thick, a little gooey, and nicely frosted. A little hyperglycemia never hurts right? We loved our breakfast at Nano Cafe and look forward to the next time we can visit to try other delectable items on the menu.

    Fast service and very polite staff. The whole place has a welcoming, family-friendly vibe, and it's great for large groups -- we came with seven and were seated easily. The food tasted fresh and "home cooked," which I really appreciate. Highly recommend the chilaquiles.

    country skillet on top and california omelette on bottom
    Van D.

    Nano Café is located in a cute area of Sierra Madre. My boyfriend and I had noticed it during a prior visit to a neighboring spot for lunch, especially for their breakfast all day offerings. They have a private lot or you can find street parking. The parking lot was overflowed, so we found parking about a block away near a park. Business seems busy, but luckily there wasn't a wait when we came since they have an abundance of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated at a small wobbly 2 top inside. Our waitress was quick to getting our order, but not as quick when we were trying to waive someone down for the check. It seems like the staff has to manage a high volume of customers per waitstaff. My boyfriend had their Country Skillet ($17.99) which comes with diced ham, bacon, sausage, grilled bell peppers, onions, 2 scrambled eggs over home fries. Standard is gravy on top, but my boyfriend asked for his gravy on the side. I had their California Omelette ($18.99) which has bacon and tomatoes, topped with jack cheese and avocado. It came with home fries or hash browns, which I opted for the home fries. Looking at the menu in retrospect, it is also suppose to come with toast or resh biscuit in which I got neither. While I was waiting for our food, I saw another staff member sneeze in their hand, and then same hand went and got a drink refill for another customer and held the drink at the rim. I also saw the same person sneeze into their work area, without covering their mouth. Ughhh cringeeeee! I'm so glad this individual wasn't our wait staff, but it ruined my appetite. By the time the food came out, I feel like the portion is small than other similar breakfast diners. Especially at this price point. But I guess that's a Sierra Madre higher rent reason. The food tasted about average. Nothing special or unique to make me want to come back... especially with the struggle to waive staff down for the check and questionable health practice by staff. This restaurant is plenty busy and popular. I know my review doesn't matter to them, but I'm definitely not coming back.

    An awesome breakfast spot that serves all classic American breakfast dishes! Ordered the chicken fried steak and corned beef hash. Would go back for both and have no complaints.

    Turkey Breast Croissant Sandwich (added avocado) with potato salad on the side; Chorizo Scramble Breakfast
    Andrea G.

    Food was good, great taste and quality! I had the croissant sandwich, and while you can't go wrong with that, I was still impressed by the taste. I was mostly brown away by the delicious side potato salad! However, 17.99 for this dish rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciated the excellent service and the atmosphere of the outdoor seating!

    Veggie omelette

    Great service here this morning, the server was so welcoming and chatty and a grand warm welcome . I chose the veggie omelette very well presented and delicious to taste . I highly recommend Nanos Cafe for early morning breakfast.

    Food was delicious and served piping hot. Service was fast and attentive, and the atmosphere was cute and inviting. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

    Excellent food and service on Friday evening. And the martini wasn't bad either. Thanks, Wayne for taking care of me.

    French Toast Combo

    My coworkers and I wanted to meet up for brunch and I told them about Nano Cafe. As soon as you walk in... You feel the warm and cozy vibe. The servers are super friendly and set up the table of eight for us. We all ordered our yummy food. My favorite is their California omelette, which I got today, my coworkers got a few items that I took pictures of. Everything turned out so good and they were very impressed with the food and the quantity of food that you get. My friends were also really impressed with the service, the servers kept coming around to ask if we needed our coffees refilled. They knew that we were meeting for a birthday and the holidays so they kept telling us to take our time and enjoy each other's company, which we really appreciated. They said they will definitely be back with their families. I've been coming to nano's for a few years now and I can't believe I've never left a review for them. If you want a cute comfy vibe with great service and great food, make sure you come to Nano's!

    Lox Bagel, Cream Cheese, Onion, Tomato & Fresh Fruit
    Jack L.

    Nano is your foundational, local 4 star brunch cafe that has all of the things necessary: First off, great and quick service. It is a small business and they really emphasize that through their care for customers. I can tell a lot of people are on a first name basis. Second, the food. Even as things get more expensive, they have very reasonable prices for the food that is made. We got the lox bagel and chorizo scramble and both were delicious. Ambiance is great. A bustling cafe during even the busiest times has a seat for everyone due to how much seating there is. Not much else to say besides the fact that it is highly recommended!

    Salmon Benedict
    Amber G.

    My best friend took me here when she was taking me on a little tour to check out Sierra Madre! (She's moving here). She assured me that everything you order here is good, and she was most certainly right! I got the Salmon Benedict and the most DELICIOUS watermelon cucumber green tea cooler. Mind you, when you order something like this (averaging 6.99), you would expect to get ripped off with the tiniest drink (but hey, at least it's tasty). You will NOT experience something like that. You get a 24 oz drink with a massive piece of watermelon in it (I posted a picture) and it was SO GOOD AND SO WORTH IT! The people there were super nice and accomodating, and it was like those great community diners where they take good care of you and there's plenty of great seating with lots of shade! Bonus points: I actually accidentally left my card there and didn't even realize it until the next day. I called and asked about it and they were so nice and compassionate about it. They kept it in a safe place for me until I got there. I know it should be a given that people are honest, but I still appreciate it when they are! I overall look forward to coming back here again!

    One of two bars
    Stevo O.

    The restaurant is busy with local diners for breakfast and seems to have as strong following. There are two bars and plenty of room inside and outside, if it's a nice day or evening. Service is quick, the server always seems to be happy and helpful. The food is moderately priced, but not overwelming in quantity or taste. I would come back for a routine occasion, but this is not the type of restaurant you would drive tens of miles for...

    Country Skillet
    Cher B.

    This was my first time at the Sierra Madre location. I've been to the one in Duarte and I'm not a fan. So a friend of mine and myself decided to go to this one which she's frequented before and likes. I, too, liked this one better. The service was better. The food was better and the atmosphere seemed a lot better to me. We both ordered the country skillet, which was scrambled eggs with ham, bacon, sausage, home fries with country gravy. The only thing is you couldn't taste the country gravy and we honestly didn't even know if there was any on the skillet. We didn't see it. But the flavor was good. Would definitely order that again. It was a huge portion too. We both ended up bringing home a little more than half of our dish. It also came with toast. We both ordered sourdough, but we're pretty sure we got white. Anyway, we'll go back.

    When do you have live music? Are reservations recommended?

    I saw a live 5-pc. band playing there last Saturday 07/19/25 from 6:30 to 9:30. The place was full so I would recommend making a reservation.

    Do they serve memosas at breakfast/brunch?

    Yes, but they are not included. It is a separate cost.

    Is breakfast served all day and are dogs allowed on their patio?

    Dogs are welcome on the patio and they have water bowls available. Breakfast is served all day with 2 exceptions after 3p - no waffles or Eggs Benedict (including w/salmon).

    There's something about a cozy bar, a crisp glass of wine, and good company that just hits…read moredifferently and this night at Wistaria delivered exactly that. We started with a fresh, vibrant chop salad crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, Chunks of bacon to die for and just the right amount of creamy cheese to balance it all out. Simple, but thoughtfully done. Paired with a chilled Pinot Grigio, it was the kind of light, refreshing combo that sets the tone for a relaxed evening. The ambiance is where this place really shines. Dim lighting, a warm glow from the bar, and shelves lined with bottles create an intimate, almost tucked away feel. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down, sip a little longer, and stay in her company..

They are a little bit pricey but what do you expect. We got a delicious wedge salad that was very good sized and tons of flavor. For means we got the meatball appetizer, which was a very yummy. Also got the half a chicken, which was good. The kale under it was phenomenal. The chicken was moist, but I feel like it could've used a little more flavor. The short rib dinner was as you'd expect. Delicious and decadent. We also got the steak frites. The steak was cooked perfectly. The french fries were nice and crispy. This was a phenomenal meal. It's the one at the table. Everybody wanted a second bite of. I also got the mushroom risotto. Excellent mouth feel and portion size. I thought sometimes the mushrooms almost tasted a little fishy. But overall, it was good and I pretty much cleaned up my plate. For dessert, we got the brownie with ice cream and that was 10 of 10. Would come here again just to eat that. Overall lovely spot for a date night or a girls night out. Food was above average and it's got a cozy little feel. My only drawback was the service was a little bit slow. We never were clear on who our server was and so we felt like we could've been in and out a little faster.

My kids love their burgers and fries too! Every burger order comes with a small bazooka gum under the burger, what nice treat. Because we came around noon on the weekend, it was probably around their busy time, so we did have to wait about 10-15 minutes for our order to come out.
