    Croissant Sandwich with Potato Salad, Beyond Burger with French Fries
    amanda

    I usually go to the Nano Cafe in Monrovia, but my friend and I stopped in and the service was great!! My server as well as the other kind workers kept checking in to make sure we were good. The food itself was okay, the Potato Salad was exceptional, and my friend the Burger and Fries were as expected. They have outside seating and the inside was very cute and homely!! I recommend this place and I'll definitely be back for a brunch.

    Great omelettes!

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    My son was on a time constraint Christmas Day, as he had 3 stops that day, one as far as San Diego. I looked for a restaurant open for breakfast that day. Nano Cafe was open! I live in Glassell Park, and Sierra Madre is pretty close. Inside was very clean, quaint, and cozy. The staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating! I got the country fried steak breakfast, which came with biscuits and gravy. Omg!!!! The biscuits were the fluffiest I've ever eaten! The white gravy was so ultra delicious!! You the term "So good, you wanna swim in it"? That white gravy so fire, I'd be swan diving into it!! lol I don't even know how to swim!! My son had the corn beef hash, which is his breakfast go to and he said it was delicious. I wanted to share a sweet, such as French toast or waffles, but we were too stuffed! We learned from our server, Connie, that it was a family owned business, 5 sisters. I only saw 2 other sisters and they were just as friendly and helpful! I was amazed to learn that they are open 365 days a year!! They're open each and every holiday!! I think this will be a new tradition for my son and I. Christmas breakfast at Nano

    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).

    Are there vegan option?

    Yes. They have

    Over the weekend, I visited this establishment with another person whose debit card was somehow…read morelost while in the bar's possession. The establishment successfully charged their card but when it came time to return it the card was nowhere to be found. What happened afterward is what troubled me most though. Rather than taking responsibility...offering meaningful assistance or even demonstrating genuine concern....we were told that they "might have given his card to someone else," that "there was nothing they could do," and most astonishingly... that "it sucks, but it happens". But losing someones debit card while it is in your care should not simply be dismissed as something that "happens". We contacted the business through multiple platforms. We returned in person the following day to see whether the card had been found. At every opportunity we hoped someone would take ownership of the situation and make a sincere effort to help resolve it..that did not happen. And there is another piece of this experience that I cannot comfortably ignore. The person I went with was a person of color. Afterward I read other reviews describing troubling experiences at this establishment involving people of color. I cannot claim to know what motivated the way my compatriot was treated and I will not make an accusation I cannot prove. But when a pattern begins to emerge businesses should be willing to examine it rather than dismiss the people raising concerns. Ultimately this is about something very simple... dignity, accountability and the way we choose to treat one another. Mistakes happen...cards get misplaced...employees make errors but character both individual and institutional is revealed in what happens next. A business cannot always prevent a mistake but it can choose whether to respond with responsibility, compassion and respect. In this case that opportunity was there repeatedly. Unfortunately though this establishment chose not to take it. At the very least they could have offered to reverse the charge on their card to compensate for the mistake. I hope management takes these concerns seriously...not simply because of one lost debit card, but because every person who walks through the door deserves to know that if something goes wrong, their concern will matter, their property will matter, and they will be treated with the basic dignity and respect every customer deserves.

They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16).

Craft cocktails are the name of the game, and it looks like a fully stocked bar, so if the menu doesn't appeal to you, you can order of menu as well.
