I've been to Off Street Cafe twice for brunch. This restaurant is always busy during the weekend, so we always have to put our names on the waitlist. Luckily, both times, the wait was quicker than expected and we were seated promptly. The food is typical brunch food, but it is high quality, especially considering how quick the service is. Here is a good mix of savory, sweet, and healthy options for any craving. During our last visit, my sister and I really enjoyed the Tuna Melt and the banana pancakes. The best part? The prices are fair for the portion of food that you get! We've celebrated Father's day twice at this cafe, and I'm looking forward to coming back here for future casual brunches and special occasions. read more

Food is good. Service it hit or miss. Got there earlier than their usual Sunday rush today and was seated along the booths facing the kitchen/bar. Was fun to watch the hustle and bustle (and not-so-hustle of some). But BIG note for the manager/owner (and others who are concerned about it), almost ALL the FOH staff was chewing gum while working which is not just a health code violation but also just gross. Hopefully this gets addressed soon. I'll note, my server didn't check on us a single time. We were out of water and coffee by the time our check was dropped off. I will say, facing the back, I did see her (and other staff) go to the back and chew their gum, touch their phones, and drink their drinks without washing their hands and coming back up front (also a health violation, btw). As I mentioned, I've had good service in the past so I'm leaving it at 4-stars. read more

I was getting my car serviced when I decided to have a bite to eat. Perusing cafe options in the area, I ran across Off Street Cafe, which was the closest to my location. I liked what I saw, and, once my business was done, I set a course for Off Street Cafe. I was more than a little surprised by what I saw: The parking lot was full, except for a few spaces, a couple of which belonged to the office next door. I found a parking spot, and made my way to the entrance, which was packed with people waiting for a table. I opened the front door to organized chaos, otherwise known as a busy cafe on a Saturday morning! I joined the Waitlist via a kiosk just inside the entrance. After inputting my info, it said it would be a 15-23 minute wait, which was fine with me. I found a spot in front to sit and read the book I brought with me. Not even 2 minutes later, I hear someone call out my name. A friendly host escorted me inside, and showed me to a table for two inside their patio area. No sooner than when I pick up the menu, a server greets me, and asks if I would like something to drink to start things off. I ordered an Apple Juice, and continued looking over the menu. Again, no sooner did my Apple Juice arrive, when my designated server greets me, and asks if I'm ready to order, or, if I needed more time? I originally had my eye on one of their omelettes, but, ended up going with the Chicken Fried Steak, with Scrambled Eggs, with Homestyle Potatoes on the side, and Sourdough Toast. I get back to my book, and, after what seemed like 2-3 minutes, my food arrives! Talk about speed! The Chicken Fried Steak was very good. Breaded just right, and, the gravy was also very tasty. Scrambled Eggs? No complaints here. The Homestyle Potatoes? Very good, as well. The toast was a bit rubbery, but good, as well. Overall, the service was great. My server checked in on me periodically to see if things were good, the speed with which they got me my food was stunning, considering how packed the place was. Food was great, as well. This is great little place to eat, if you can get ahead of the crowds, and, depending on how many people you bring with you. read more

Randomly found this gem while wifey was in Yelp! Glad we decided to stop by. I think we just beat the morning rush. Service was quick. Establishment was clean with plenty of parking. Probably less than 10 minute wait for our food. Ribeye and Chicken fried steak were good! Price points were on the affordable side IMO. Will come back to try other items on the menu. Recommend! read more

Everything about this place is five stars I just wish it had a bigger parking lot, place gets really busy and sometimes parking is a challenge . The food is delicious, by far my favorite breakfast place and I only learned about it about four months ago ! I usually get the garden omelette, which comes with hashbrowns & toast but I usually substitute the toast for two pancakes, which is three dollars more, my husband gets an omelette and he keeps the toast and we just share the toast & the pancakes. The omelette has fresh pieces of vegetables in it , gives it a nice crunch and bursting with flavor! I've had the French toast, which is really good ! They also make their own jam, which is so delicious ! I look forward to a piece of toast with jam every time I go, the peach and the raspberry are my favorite. The wait staff is on top of things! In spite of it being so busy, they are quick, friendly and efficient every time! I kind of don't wanna leave this review and gate keep the place but that just wouldn't be nice ! My husband and I are retired and we have been going there at least once a week , it's so so so good! I had to edit this review because I wanted to mention that I was reading some of the other reviews and somebody said the pancake " just OK" I am very picky about my pancakes and these pancakes are so good ! Served with warm syrup and lots of butter! But very flavorful without anything on them too. Fresh squeezed orange juice as well ! I forgot to mention that! What more could I look for in a breakfast spot? read more

Off Street Cafe - Our breakfast - American Near Me - Cerritos, California

Yelped a place for breakfast near Cerritos. Found this place in an industrial commercial lot. Drove around following gps but found it. Not a typical breakfast location but plenty of parking. No wait when we came in. Sat right away outdoor patio area. Super nice morning and busy for a Thursday at 9am. Staff was super friendly. Our waitress was so attentive and nice. Food was good. Coffee was amazing. Potatoes were a little over cooked and hard but the rest was good. Nothing spectacular but enjoyable. Inside was nice and clean. Very busy but gave good vibes read more

I have eaten at Off Street Cafe over the years on a very regular basis. And the service is excellent except for today, I got stuck with Nate - bad attitude and bad service ! I always request the same thing the fruit and granola oatmeal... and I ask them to substitute the banana for the strawberry. This guy was not paying attention. He brought out oatmeal with strawberry and banana, I called him over and said I requested the oatmeal with no strawberry. At that point he looked at me bothered and said you don't need to be rude, which I wasn't. I would Never let this guy work for me. read more

I support local businesses. Been here multiple times. The two reception folks, on a Saturday morning, a male and a female ( a smile would be nice) . A weird look at the customer doesn't help . I am also working in a service industry. I get that. I hear them laugh, that's good. That's says a lot of the work culture. Customer service maybe needs improvement. And using personal phones? Hmmmm... read more

Tucked on a corner across from Gahr High School, this small café is easy to miss, but don't! The place is packed with families, groups, and solo diners. I had the avocado toast with poached eggs & bacon (pro tip: drizzle the side salsa on top to have your mind blown ) and a giant latte I couldn't finish but was offered a to-go cup, which saved the day. Fast-paced and bustling, not the place to linger, but the food and coffee are worth every bite. Definitely coming back! read more

My friend has been raving about this place for quite some time but also the reviews are great. Finally decided to give it a try. This place fills up quick so the wait can be a bit long. We waited for 40 minutes which wasn't too bad. They have indoor seating and an outdoor seating area as well. During the rain they have a patio cover as well. Our waiter was nice but I wish she was more personable. No smile and monotone. I did ask for a recommendation or if she thinks the ribeye steak & eggs would be better than their scrambles and omelettes . She stated " well one is just meat." She isn't wrong but I wish she was better at making a recommendation. I did end up order a ribeye steak with eggs, sausages, and coffee. I ordered for the ribeye to be medium and it was well done. The homemade salsa they seem to rave about was extremely watery and it did not taste good. Their food needs a lot of extra seasoning in my opinion. read more

Love the food and the servers are nice we went on Father's Day and wait wasn't too long.

Off Street Cafe is a local diner with great breakfast options. Wife went with chicken fried steak and I went with their spicy "Melecio", which was an omelet that blanketed carne asada, serranos, onions, cilantro, and cheese. It came with a ton of seasoned potatoes. I upgraded my bread for pancakes for only $3. The meal came with a nice house made salsa. I also appreciate that they've upgraded the decor and interior since I last visited. Overall, it's a solid breakfast spot and I'm glad that I was able to get flavors and spice with my diner-style omelet. The upgrade to pancake was a no-brainer for $3. Great local breakfast option! read more

Off Street Cafe is very off street. The cafe is tucked away in a sea of commercial buildings. Inside, the space is surprisingly large and bright. We stuck to the breakfast menu and ordered the following: -California omelette ($15.50): bacon, ortega chili, jack cheese topped with avocado + sour cream -the house skillet ($15.50): homestyle potatoes, bell peppers, bell peppers + onions, choice of protein, jack cheese Honestly, I loved every last bit of my California omelette. It was tucked and folded like someone's mom made it giving it homey vibes. The bacon was chunky and salty and perfect in omelette form. And the hash browns? Ten. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a nice buttery middle. My favorite thing I ate was probably the English muffin. It tastes homemade or in-house. Whatever the case, delish. Make it to Off Street Cafe before they close at 2. read more

This is a cute little brunch place in the area with plenty of parking. They have breakfast all day, very similar to a diner with many choices from scrambles, omelettes to classic breakfasts. I tried the Artesia scramble and it was really good along with hash browns with toast. The service was fast and attentive. I will definitely come again if I'm in the area looking for a quick breakfast grab. read more

I've been coming here since nursing school at Cerritos College, so almost 9 years now, and the consistency is honestly what keeps me coming back. No matter how long it's been, the food and service are always good. I usually stop by after leaving night shift, and thankfully I normally don't have trouble getting seated early in the morning. Weekends after 9 a.m. are a different story though, this place gets PACKED, which honestly tells you how good it is. My go-to items are the Belgium waffle, cinnamon roll French toast, home style potatoes, and sausage links. Everything always comes out hot, fresh, and fast. They also have a huge menu, so there's something for everybody. The service is always friendly, even when they're super busy, and they do a great job keeping things moving. Definitely one of my comfort breakfast spots over the years. read more

Off Street Cafe - Cinnamon Roll French Toast - American Near Me - Cerritos, California

Overall a pretty great place to grab breakfast. The place was pretty crowded and busy on a Friday morning. We expected it to be empty but was surprised that the restaurant was pretty much full & busy. The food was pretty good. We got the California breakfast burrito and the Alfredo skillet. Both great breakfast dishes. I also got their lavender latte and was happy with the quality of the coffee. Only real con was how busy it was. Everyone was moving about and it was loud. It was also hard to get hold of our server. I ordered the eggs on the Alfredo as scrambled but it came out over easy. I tried to flag down our server to fix the mistake but I could not flag her down so we just ate it. I didn't mind over easy eggs too much so it was ok but it wasn't what I ordered. We sat at one of tables next to the counter and by the kitchen. That probably didn't help with how busy it seemed and the noise. Next time I will wait for a booth. The 4.5 stars and the 3.9k number of reviews is justified. I will be back! read more

Food: overall good. The fries appear to be frozen or premade. They aren't good, will never order again Service: It was a very hot day. We were never offered a refill on our waters. Our waitress literally walked away as we were talking to her to do something at another table. It wasn't an emergency or anything like that, she just straight up turned around and left us, we had to call her back. She barely acknowledged us the whole time. The restaurant was not busy by any means. Overall, service was mediocre. By no means was it good, but it wasn't awful. It was just service. Nothing to be complimented about. Definitely not the family friendly community oriented vibe they pretend to pedal. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Cerritos. Typical diner fare, but high quality. I've only tried a small handful of the breakfasts cause I'm the type of person who keeps ordering what I like lol.

Hot white Chocolate Mocha's are superb, crispy hash browns, juicy chicken fried steak, super flavorful gravy, and eggs cooked to perfection. Inside was a little loud so we sat in the patio area which was secluded and quiet, and our service was excellent! Very attentive and polite this place is definitely a must visit. read more

Popular for breakfast and lunch, we decided to drop in towards the end of their lunch service. The floors, tables and bathrooms still looked clean as the day was winding down. The staff appeared to enjoy being there and they happily worked together as they started tidying up while we finished our lunches. The food was very fresh, well prepared and presented nicely! Our server was attentive without being overbearing. It was a great experience all around. read more

The inside is pretty tight inside like a Denny's or IHOP equivalent. We were sat pretty quickly even though it was packed and we were told it would be a 20 min wait it was about a 5 min wait so that was nice. The house potatoes were really the star of the show. It was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everything else was just okay. Most of it tasted like a standard IHOP breakfast. Nothing was bad but the quality was equivalent to a regular diner. The French toast had a thick egg layer on top which I wasn't expecting almost like an omelette overlaying the bread and I prefer less of that egg flavoring on the French toast and more of a soft bready/buttery flavor. But that's just my preference. read more

We came at the perfect time before 10am on Black Friday. We were seated immediately and service was quick and wonderful. The food was average. We had the chicken and waffle, machaca burrito and breakfast croissant sandwich. The flavor of each dish wasn't too bold, which made it kinda of boring, Overall it was good time. By the time we left, there were about 10+ parties waiting to be seated read more

I've driven by this place many times and have wanted to try. Always has a line on weekends and I like the sunny patio. The three stars are for the food and price, which were both good. But noise level inside was very loud, to the point you could barely hold a convo. We waited about a half hour for two people, which seemed ok. If you're going to go, request outdoor seating. Service was slow-ish. We had three people check on us early, but then left mostly alone after food was dropped. We had one friendly staffer and the rest were straight faced just trying to keep up with the pace of the packed dining room. The bathroom was unspeakably dirty. I think there are better brunch spots in the area. read more

I just worked through a list of every diner and coffee shop in LA County and somehow missed this spot. It was recommended to me by another foodie and wow they were right. This place is one of the best breakfast restaurants in South Los Angeles and I would highly recommend it and already want to go back again. Mainly for the food taste and quality. The service and pricing was also great but what gets me to repeat a restaurant as if the food taste is so good that I think about it after I eat it. It's located in a business park area and comes with free parking in the front and back. We were able to be seated right when we arrived at 10AM on Saturday in a party of two. Our server was extremely polite, and everything that we ordered came out lightning fast. Inside is larger than it looks from the outside and has many different types of seating options. The restaurant was fully occupied when we were there so you can tell that it's really popular with the locals, and after eating it, I can understand why. I started off the meal with a Cinnamon Roll because it's one of my favorite things and I had heard that this place has one of the better versions. I will say that it is one of the best Cinnamon Rolls that I've had in 2025 and would highly recommend it to any fan. For breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict and switched it to chorizo and added avocado which I would suggest trying. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and the hollandaise had great flavor to it. Overall, I was really impressed with the meal and I already want to come back again even though I live in Marina del Rey I drove out of my way specifically for this place and would do it again. read more

We went to have breakfast here on Sunday October 12. Just a few things to keep in mind is that parking can be tough but you can park around at your own risk. Also, they do not take reservations, only walk ins we arrived at 9am and it was already a 40 min wait. Other than that, this place is good! We would come back but maybe a little earlier. What we ordered: Chicken and waffles: a solid 8/10. Chicken is kinda dry but waffle is good!! California burrito: 9/10 it is really good! Good flavor. Kinda small (I eat a lot) lol Egg white omelette: 10/10. Very healthy and comes with lots of hash browns. read more

Great breakfast place! I ordered the Off Street plate (one of the favorites on their menu). Protein (I ordered sausages), two eggs, and two pancakes. The pancakes were definitely the star, sweet and perfectly cooked! My friend ordered the Croisaant Sandwich with Bacon along with a Vanilla Latte. Excellent. Service was great. I could not believe how quickly our food came out after ordering! It waa very tidy and on a on a Monday morning! There are a lot of tables inside and an outdoor patio! We arrived around 930am and left by 1015am. There was a 30 minute wait when we were leaving. Strongly suggest getting here early if you donwant to wait. Only downside is parking. It's tucked into.a business complex and there are not many spaces allocated for Off Street. Other businesses have posted signs warning against parking. Very surprised the city of Cerritos wouldn't require more spots, or the Landlord be more generous with parking spots. read more

Let me tell you something -- Off Street Café in Cerritos is a top-notch breakfast and brunch spot! Since my husband and I are retired, we like to treat ourselves to breakfast out every now and then, and this has become one of our favorite regular spots. We probably visit once or twice every couple of weeks, and it never disappoints. Now let me be honest -- the parking can be a little tricky, but trust me... the food and service make it absolutely worth the wait. The wait staff is always friendly, attentive, and on point. You can tell the team there really cares about the experience. The food comes out hot, fresh, and pretty quick, which is something I really appreciate. Every time we go, everything is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. If you're looking for a cute, quiet brunch spot, Off Street Café is definitely a place you should try. Just prepare yourself for possible parking challenges and a short wait during busy times. My husband and I usually go on Wednesdays, and that seems to be the sweet spot -- we rarely have to wait long. Bottom line: Great food, great service, and a great little brunch gem in Cerritos. Highly recommend! read more
