Yummy homestyle cafe. Family friendly. Small outside seating is nice, to bad i didnt want to wait to sit there. Waitress took off for ten minutes when i told her to come right back for my order, kinda irritating when you're starving. But oh well, everyone deserves a second chance hopefully this doesnt happen next time. The food was definitely not worth $10 a plate. read more

Rex's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

The most friendliest and nicest staff in all of Pedro. Rex's is a great local place to stop by for some coffee or a quick bite. Their menu can support almost any diet fad/restriction and the food is great to! You can call to order ahead of time, or walk right in and sit down. Highly recommend! read more

Food was great but our waitress Eboni was very disrespectful. It was my first time and I had specific questions about the Aram waffles. She just made everything difficult and got irritated with me and it showed. Probably won't come back but respect the REST of the staff during these hard times. read more

A very nice small mom and pop shop type of atmosphere! I love that all the waiters work together so someone is always checking on you! Food was delish but want a big fan of their green salsa. But I did get the machaca omelet and it was very flavorful, lots off cheese and a good amount of meat! read more

Cute place, but a little over-hyped in my opinion. Street parking is hard to find and the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, even in the daytime. Always a wait on weekends and holidays. Food was good, but not great. There are two key things that Rex's has going for it: 1) Freakishly large potions, especially pancakes and burritos. 2) More healthy and veggie options. Otherwise, I don't see what the big deal is. Coffee was very ordinary. Service was a little scattered. I really like good breakfast potatoes, and these were your basic red skins with some Lawry's on them. Meh. Next time, I'll save the parking and wait drama and just go to Omelette & Waffle or the Lighthouse Deli, both just as good with equally innovative menus. read more

Very cute little spot for breakfast or brunch. Fast service and lots of healthy and tasty options! LOVE their omelettes! Also LOVE the vanilla latte with the chocolate drizzle. Fresh food and friendly service :) read more

I love Rex's! I've been here about 4 times and it never disappoints. It's just all around good food. The ingredients are always fresh, and everything is never over/ under cooked or too greasy, too much or too little. Just the right amount of everything. It's also got a cute "home-y" feel to it. A perfect place to go with family or friends for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. My favorites are probably the huevos rexeros and the green eggs cabrillo. I love their fruit bowls as well! They don't skimp at all and give you a fresh assortment of all the delicious fruits :) read more

I travel a lot and Yelp (that's a verb :-) to find unique eats. Rex's popped up so here I am. My personal rule of thumb is - with so many restaurant options available when traveling, would I return to this image? Yes. Arrived at 7:30am on a Thursday, and the place had many free tables. Sat down immediately and was served right away by a cheerful server. Ordered a mocha with stuffed French Toast and was served promptly. The over-medium eggs were cooked perfectly as ordered. The stuffed squaw bread French Toast was just right, not too sweet. It was a lot of food but I almost finished it. The meal was a perfect breakfast experience, in a local establishment, and it was a great way to start my day before heading to the craziness of LAX to fly home. Great time! read more

Love this place you will have to wait but the wait is so worth it great food and great customer service definitely a little hole in the wall it's a nice place read more

This place is GREAT!. Friendly staff, great food, nice portions. They serve breakfast and lunch. Pancakes are BIG and the omletes are great with a wide variety to chose from. Street parking can be a challenge and its popularity shows on weekend mornings. This is a must try for those in the South Bay/San Pedro area. read more

Everything I have tried or seen my relatives get here has been truly amazing. Lots of great choices but I have been very impressed. Their was a wait on Sunday brunch but worth the wait and the service was great. read more

Rex's Cafe - Our brunch group. Got a cuppa coffee while I was waiting darn good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

Ate here with the family yesterday (saturday) for breakfast ,wanting to find another gem in San Pedro. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a BIG smile and a very inviting good morning as if we were regulars. They have a big breakfast menu leaning towards the healthy road ++ which we really liked. We ordered their pancakes and french toast stuffed with cream cheese, banana and blueberries (special), the fruit bowl (popular) and coffee. The pancakes (2) were huge, more than enough for three people. Though it could be a bit fluffier it was still delicious, especially with the maple syrup..YUM! French toast was made with squaw bread, which I thought would be tough, was actually pretty moist and tasty, not too sweet. The filling had just enough cream to berry to banana ratio. Great fruit bowl, visually and appealing ...full of fresh cut banana, pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberry and grapes,,shheeesh...what a deal!!! I noticed the service was spot on. They would come around every so often to see how you were doing and asked if you needed anything. The dining area is cozy and clean. Turnovers are pretty quick as the staff are always on their toes.They make every attempt to make you feel at home. We will definitely come back...and maybe next time try the lunch menu. read more

I would love to give a five star based on the food, but the service was crappy. My sister in law asked the server, " what do you recommend." The server said. " I can't recommend anything, because if you don't like it, I get in trouble." I know this is a mellow cafe, but I still feel this wasn't an appropriate response. I will still come back because the food is amazing! read more

Cute little eatery, vibrant colors and atmosphere. The place is quite small, maybe fits 50 people inside or so? The servers were very sweet, and rather busy so they did not check on us too much, my bf prefers to be checked on a lot while as long as I have a full glass and my food is a timely manner I'm fine. I ordered the huevos rexeros which came with black beans, corn tortillas, salsa Verde, eggs and two kinds of cheese. I ordered it with hasbrowns, which also came with pinto beans. The flavors were delicious together and topped it with some sour cream... oh my! The bf ordered a California omelet. He ate the entire thing, with the roasted potatoes. The portions are large and taste like home. His order also came with a bagel which they toasted, buttered and gave cream cheese, sweet cream butter and jelly. All and all the meal was delicious and very reasonably priced. The flavors were rich and enticing. Not sure if the workers are family but one woman in the back east extra Fiesty with the waitresses, more to be on top of their orders as she slammed them out. I never saw er, but I heard her sass with each of them, made it feel more homey, and didn't ruin the experience at all. I am sure we will visit this place again! read more

This places has the best breakfast food around. It always tastes so fresh and good quality.

Rex's is my favorite healthy breakfast spot in San Pedro, I've been going there since I was a child. They were doing healthy before it was a thing. The food is light, healthy, and quality. I like everything on the menu including the pancakes and muffins, two things I don't normally care for. read more

One of our favorite go to places on Sunday. There's always a wait but it is definitely worth it. Such a home soft feeling inside. The staff is always so friendly and very attentive. They have some of the best coffee lol so obsessed with it. read more

Food was amazing & service was excellent. It's a must try & a keep coming back for more type of place.

I like this place! Super small, but in a cute way. The restaurant is built in a house and still feels like a house inside....just with a lot of strangers lol. Breakfast for two was about $20 and yummy! Staff was super friendly and had a family vibe. read more

This place is a nice cozy place if you want to catch a bite before a hike at Abalone Cove! PARKING: Street. Free! :) FOOD: I ordered the Ham Steak with eggs and hash browns. I ordered my eggs over-medium, but they were cooked over-supereasy. I was quite disappointed when the yolk flooded my plate :( Other than that mishap, the rest of the food was comforting and delicious :). My friend ordered a chicken sandwich and said that the chicken was a bit on the dry side.. The cajun soup didn't have many cajun components, but she said it was delicious nonetheless. SERVICE: Service was quick, and the waitress would come and check on us every now and then. The menu has a great assortment of traditional breakfast favorites, and I also noticed an overarching Mexican-theme to some dishes. Maybe I'll come back and try their breakfast burrito! :D read more

They never disappoint! Great selection, great presentation and friendly service! If you're ever in the area Rex's is a must. read more

Prior to boarding the Catalina Express, we had breakfast here. It was a really cute, cheap and delicious cafe! We split the pancakes, 2 eggs, sausage + extra order of bacon. Huge portions and very friendly service. It had a very cozy ambiance and really great service. Our waitress even split the meal into two plates bc she knew we were sharing. Highly recommended! read more

Solid 4.4 rating!! I love how I don't feel like I'm in a food coma after eating here! Their breakfast food isn't greasy and that's why I come back! So far I came here twice and tried the breakfast wrap and green egg cabrillo. They were both good. Green egg cabrillo is pretty much an eggs Benedict without the hollandaise sauce, which I dislike anyways since it's so creamy. I tried my fiancés Mexican omelette and they added so much more chorizo that it overpowered the eggs and made it too salty. Highly recommend the green egg cabrillo and a fresh bowl of fruit!! Fruit is freshly cut and not packaged :) read more

Had a amazing time as usual! Food was outstanding and the service was delightful!! Can't thank the help enough for their service, made our meal taste even better than it was. I ordered the pork chorizo meal with flour tortillas with fresh fruits, I could have had it with a bagel instead of tortilla but that really doesn't go well with my chorizo. They also gave me a choice of potatoes, home style or hash browns? I chose the fruits because they have the best fruits in season always. I ordered coffee which was never not full because of their service attentiveness. read more

Every time when I'm in town to see my friends in San Pedro, there are probably 3 things I think about the most. 1.) Lobster Fest 2.) Beach 3.) Rex's Cafe. Rex's Cafe serves variety of food but specializes in breakfast and lunch items. The only bad thing I would say about this place is that they close early. There's usually only about 1 or 2 servers working at a time so there is a slight wait for your order to be taken and served. Portions are very large which is a plus. Maybe a little bit too large? As far as the taste goes, it gives you a sense of familiarity of being at home; having the famous breakfast made by your mom/dad/loved one. You know, an omelette, pancakes, waffles, bacon, etc. Very hearty. I would definitely go back here when I get a chance. But for now, it's more exploring other eateries for me. read more

Thanks to fellow Yelpers, this is my favorite brunch place in San Pedro! Came in on a weekday a little bit before lunch time and the place was already half packed. It seemed like a favorite place for the locals. The French Connection was huuuge and delicious!! My latte came in one of their gigantic mugs that was almost as big as my head. I wanted to get their chicken tortilla soup but it ran out as I was being indecisive :/ Great food & great service! Will definitely come back for more brunch time and try their chicken tortilla soup and coffee in head-size mugs!! read more

A friend invited us to breakfast at this little cafe not far from the marina and well, we thank God and Goddess that they were paying. We almost panicked seeing the bill for a good but rather common breakfast. It was maybe 60 dollars. We refigured our friend's net worth at the sight of that bill. The waitress was nice enough. Why not? read more

Came here for brunch before heading over to the Cirque show (Totem) at the LA Port. Less than 10 minutes from the port. This place is located in residential area so it might be a little hard to find. Just make sure you keep your eyes open for the large "Rex's Café" on the front of the building. There's plenty of street parking if you don't mind parking a little further away. Cafe is not big. It is nicely decorated with an autumn theme, using a color scheme of orange, red, and brown. Being that it's a smaller place, it is pretty cozy and gives you that Sunday laziness feel to it. You know that feeling of sleeping in, going to grab some breakfast, and just hanging around and doing nothing for the rest of the day. Now on with the food. BF ordered the Greek omelette, which has spinach, cheese, and mushrooms. Also came with a bowl of fresh fruit, 2 slices of toast (you have an option of toast, english muffin, or biscuit), butter and jam. The omelette was good, the right amount of flavor, not bland or too salty. Also not overly cooked. The omelette I had at another place a week earlier was really bland so I appreciated that this omelette wasn't like that. The fruit was sweet. I ordered the stuffed french toast. The french toast was stuffed with cream cheese and had a generous amount of fresh strawberry slices piled on top. It was quite good, although the best french toast I had was this small cafe in west LA. Now as I'm writing this I have a craving for it lol. This place is kind of a far drive for the BF, so we probably won't be driving out there just for the food. But if we were in the area, I would come back to try other items on their menu. read more

Great spot, and is very homey. It's definitely a place to go to for breakfast. When I ordered the pancakes (and I'm not complaining) they were HUGE!!! Definitely wasn't something to expect, but I rather have more food than not enough. This place is great for everyone: family coming into town, before going somewhere, with a group of friends have a "crazy" night. Definitely serves for all crowds. I've only been there once, but I'll definitely be coming back and it's a legit local spot and not one of those restaurants that try to look all modern and fancy, but doesn't put enough into their service and food. Keep up the good work. read more

Sat down to enjoy a restaurant where i haven't been in awhile. I ordered a chorizo scrambler with potato's. I was so dissatisfied and disappointed. The chorizo was crispy and over cooked. It was crispy like bacon. The red potato's were undercooked. My whole breakfast was inedible. The waitress took awhile to come back and check on us after delivering our food. I told my husband to eat his food as i didn't want it to get cold. I hate eating cold food. By the time she finally came around he was almost done. She apologized and tried to get me to order something else but it would have take too long. No thanks. I will not come back. read more

Very cool breakfast place near the San Pedro port. Great atmosphere! Their coffee was unique and awesome: Light, yet with a broad flavor range and earthy more typical of Central American coffee. Couldn't get enough! I got the Stuffed French Toast. Nice fresh strawberries and bananas on top. It was Very good, but didn't blow me away like some of the other reviewers were saying. I would definitely come back here when I'm coming this way. read more

Unfortunately I have to take my stars back. Leaving one star just for the service. The food still looks good but taste awful. I was in pain going back over and over trying to convince myself they are still good. I mean if you have the crappy location with no parking wouldn't you at least keep your food good to keep customers coming back, you would think so. Even the regular coffee is bad. So long Rex's, won't be recommending you anymore :( read more
