Overall super cute ambiance. I love the decor inside and the plating of the food is wonderful. Service was slightly slow but still friendly. However, the food and coffee were slightly disappointing. The churro pancake was much too dense and overly sweet so we weren't able to eat much of it. The coffee was also very disappointing. I got the mojito flight and you can tell that the beans they use are cheap. It lacked fragrance and just tasted like burned pot coffee with cream syrups mixed in which was a big let down considering how nice it was presented. The short rib and sweet potatoes dish was solid but it wasn't mind blowing. It could have been cooked in some kind of sauce or made slightly spicy to give it more of a kick as well. I will say, the French toast with their tres leche cream was very tasty and fluffy! But the other dishes weren't up to par. Overall not a bad experience but also not the best.

First thing I'd like to thank the staff for their welcoming. The attention to their patrons. The vibe of this establishment is high. Their food was prepared fresh and hot. The flavor and ingredients delicious. There is a wait for a table but it is worth the wait. If you come with small children make sure you bring some constructive learning skills. It is hard for children to wait. I recommend this establishment. Our experience was wonderful. Let us know what your experience was.

My first time trying The Nest: A Brunch Joint and I'm so happy to try. They recently opened a new bigger location that is very nice and suitable. The food is great and I love the small plates. I ordered the Breakfast Poutine with some bacon on the side and man oh man !!!! It was off the chain. The potatoes were so flavorful and the gravy!!! Everything was fresh and hot. I tried the maple bacon waffle and omg it was very delicious!!! They have all types of coffee flights, cocktails, and Mimosas. I will try next time when I come back. The service was good and the waitress was attentive the entire time. She suggested the things on the menu too. The ambiance is nice, and they have a nice bar area and very modern inside!!! I cannot wait to come back to try more of the food!!! Very good brunch spot! -Marshay D.

Chilaquiles Rojo 2 Eggs Combo

Everything was really good, the food and service. The waffles had good batter & the bacon pieces were really good. Chilaquiles were really tasty good salsa and chips were crunchy just how I like it. My gf got the 2 egg combo and she enjoyed everything on her plate. Look forward to going back

We absolutely loved this restaurant! We stumbled upon it while browsing Yelp and decided to give it a try because of all the great reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was amazing. I loved all of the artwork throughout the restaurant paying tribute to Filipino culture, and the R&B and soul music created such a fun, laid-back vibe. We started with the horchata iced coffees, and they were incredibly flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off brunch. I ordered the beef short rib hash with mini bacon waffle pieces on the side, and it was hands down my favorite dish. The short ribs were tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. It's definitely something I'd come back for. My daughter and I also shared the churro waffle, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet treat. The food, the service, everything was wonderful. We'll definitely be making a return visit whenever we're in the area!

Chilaquiles rojos

From the moment we walked in the young hostess was very friendly. The food looks pretty and it taste delicious! Our waiter Dominique was friendly, attentive but not overwhelming. Place is spacious, clean and they have a paid public parking right next door or plenty of street parking.

My experience at The Nest is always wonderful. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is always delicious. Thankful for the entire team for such a wonderful experience time and time again.

Chilaquiles Rojo
Ana R.

Stopped by on a Tuesday morning around 9am & there was no wait! I decided to try the red chilaquiles which came with chicken. They kind of tasted like mole to me. The flavor was there but they were not my favorite. To drink my friend got the coffee flight which comes with their signature coffees. I only tried the mint one which was very good! Service was great. If I went back, I would definitely try something different.

Chilaquiles Rojo, Beef Short Rib Hash, tres leches French toast, and kids plate.
Patrick B.

My family and I love the nest. We have been here several times and it always hits the spot. Some of our favorite entrees are the chilaquiles and beef hash. This last time we went we chose a side a French toast with tres leches and it was heavenly! Each bite was fluffy and full of flavor. The service here has always been on point. We have sat both inside and in the outdoor patio and have enjoyed both. On a nice spring morning the shaded patio is just right. We love that we can add ourselves to the waitlist in advance. It really cuts down the wait time

A waffle, shrimp, and grits and scrambled eggs
Shawnte W.

The staff was very nice, and the manager even stopped by our table to introduce himself and ask if our order had already been taken. I told him yes. Overall, the food was amazing! I ordered the pancake combo, and it was so filling. I would definitely recommend this place! My next visit will be with my sister because we love supporting Black-owned businesses.

My husband order me biscuits and gravy Not sure why I got a brick of bread. Not sure what happened to the nest it used to be so good now its been a disappointment

The luscious L mimosa.
T C.

I wasn't sure what the place was going to look like, but it exceeded my expectations. This is place focuses on breakfast and brunch as they close pretty early, which makes sense. My friend had the Fried Egg Sandwich, and I had the Fried Biscuits & Gravy. The food was pretty good. I love that there was a diverse clientele. We shared a LARGE mimosa, which they put into an XL service glass because they were out of clean L ones. We were impressed by the how they served it!!!! We chose passionfruit and guava. Boy, it was good and vodka really helped smooth the mimosa out. It wasn't too sweet either. Service was awesome as well! We will return again when we are in the BF.

I've been to Nest back at their other location about four years ago and finally came back. I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time! I always love supporting businesses that are nestled into their community and culture. Their shrimp and grits are amazing and the portion is perfect! My boyfriend ordered the chilaquiles and it does have a bit of spice. You get a small place with your order and we opted in for the pancake and biscuits and gravy. The server was nice enough to comp our coffees (i get the mint mojito) because of the wait; amazing service! They had Filipino art showcase displayed throughout the restaurant, which I really loved.

Veggie Scramble, Three Little Pigs, Tres Leche French Toast, and Biscuits & Gravy. Not the best breakfast.

See all

Reviews are largely positive. People enjoy the flavorful brunch dishes, enjoyable coffee and drinks, and the lively, welcoming ambiance.

On this uneventful Sunday, we decided to drive out to one of these highly recommended places to try out. Street parking was plentiful, but it could be more of an issue if it weren't a quiet Sunday morning. Upon entry, the decor was very minimalist and essentially par for the course for the majority of modern coffee/matcha places. The staff were friendly and greeted us right away. I ordered a simple drip coffee since I simply needed regular coffee. The flavor was good and not too overpoweringly bitter. My wife ordered the Soulmate Matcha. She told me that she enjoyed it overall, but would've liked it even more if the matcha flavor was even stronger.

I asked for a cortado with pumpkin syrup, which they already have on hand, and was told they couldn't make it. Seriously? You're a coffee shop with espresso, milk, and pumpkin syrup, but somehow putting them together is impossible? Certain drinks are also restricted to oat milk with no substitutions. I understand having a curated menu, but there's a difference between maintaining standards and making a simple coffee order unnecessarily difficult. Unaccommodating, disappointing, and a complete lack of hospitality. Definitely won't be returning.

Words to describe Padekwa: Positive vibes, Great spot to work/study, Relaxed, Artistic, Creative, Serene, Peaceful, Safe, spacious Location: It is located by Dollar Tree/7-11. There is plenty of parking because it's in a plaza. Drinks: I ordered their specialties-bananas foster latte and beignet cappuccino. Both served hot. They were delicious! I can taste the sweetness of the bananas and beignets, with the warm combo of the hot coffee. Way to go baristas! After sipping on the coffee nectar, it inspired me to get to work on my work projects. Food: I also tried their brownies and coffee cake. They were both generous slices and appetizing as well! Environment: I really love the aesthetics and atmosphere at Padekwa. You see the personal touches of family life and community. I also love the poem on the wall about art. Thank you for providing a wonderful home for people to create and share! If you need a cup of coffee, inspiration, and a place to work, I highly recommend visiting Padekwa!

So if you are looking to escape the heat grab a coffee and snack and chill awhile! The staff is sooooo friendly! I'm 99% sure this is family owned and by the looks of it all female owned as well. They take the name to pa'dekwa seriously cuz I felt very very welcomed! Now the coffee! I got the collagen crush!!! And DANG! That drink is super tasty especially knowing there is healthy benefits from it. I took the suggestion from the lady at the register and added a touch of hazelnut to make that "Nutella" flavor (THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION) Overall I WILL be back! When I'm treating myself to coffee solo or with friends this will be my top spot! I can't wait to "catch" their FISH FRY!! (They try at least once a month)

It's perfectly balanced too. I would get this again for sure, that says a lot cause I'm the type that likes to always try something new. They had some donuts and pastries but we didn't try it. I took a sip of the cookie butter latte my girlfriend got and that was delightful too. They have a parking lot for easy free parking. I love the all black and wood interior. They have outlets pretty accessible anywhere you sit. The WiFi was fast enough for me to work fine. There are not too many tables in here but at the time we came, that wasn't an issue. They have a cart of board games and books you can borrow from too. The place feels clean, I saw the worker cleaning the bathroom while we were here.

The lot is inconspicuous but totally fine to park in - pulling in/out is just a bit tight if it's full with bigger cars. I wasn't sure if I could park there until I read the manager's comments on Yelp, so maybe it would be beneficial to put up a sign outside? Just to inform/reassure customers. There's also some limited street parking in front. The inside is bright and minimalist. Not super unique, but it works. There's a nice variety of seating throughout, from benches with outlets, to regular tables and chairs, and barstools against the window. Music was a nice volume and it didn't get too loud even as the cafe slowly filled up with people chatting. The bathroom is on the right end of the shop. I sat by an outlet and was able to get a good chunk of work done for about 4 hours. I'm not sure if it's just because of where I was sitting, but I did start getting a bit chilly (maybe I was near a vent?). Overall, the environment as a whole is pretty conducive to working on a laptop. I got an iced Ube Latte (total $7.71) and I thought it was okay. It's really pretty and very purple, so I was expecting a much stronger nutty/coconut/vanilla taste. There was maybe a hint of ube, but overall it was more reminiscent of a regular latte. I am slightly disappointed, especially because pricing is on the higher end. I sat in front of where the drinks were being sent out, and noticed that each Ube Latte came out looking quite different (some looked extremely purple while others looked just tinted). Not sure if they use any specific measurements, or if the amount of jam really impacts the taste, but it was something that I noticed. Sadly, my drink wasn't very memorable. I was mainly just looking for a change in scenery to get some work done while in LB for the morning. For that purpose, this spot was great. However, my drink didn't amaze me, so it's not something I would come back for. The staff seemed to have a good handle on getting drinks out when there was a rush. Not bad by any means, just not outstanding. TikTok: @qtrinthejukebox Instagram: @qtrinthejukebox

I finally got a chance to check out One12 Caffe and really enjoyed my visit!…read more The cafe has a modern, clean, and classy vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor space is on the smaller side, but it still feels comfortable and welcoming. They also have a pastry case when you walk in, and the coffee bar is set up in the back. One of the coolest things about the cafe is the robotic arm that makes the coffee. I honestly wasn't expecting that and thought it was pretty fun to watch. For drinks, we tried the Hot Biscoff Cookie Latte and the Double Matcha. The Biscoff Cookie Latte was my favorite. It had a nice Biscoff flavor without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The Double Matcha was also really good, smooth and creamy with a nice matcha flavor. They can also add latte art to the drinks, which is a nice touch. For food, I went with the Short Rib Benedict because I'm a sucker for a good Benedict. The short rib was tender and flavorful, and everything on the plate worked really well together. Definitely something I would order again. We also tried the Ratatouille Omelette, which was a great vegetarian option. It was packed with vegetables and had plenty of flavor. I liked that it didn't feel like a boring or basic vegetarian breakfast option. And of course, we had to try dessert. The Dubai Crepe was really good. I liked the chocolate and pistachio combination, and it wasn't overly sweet. We also got the Biscoff Cheesecake, which was another favorite. It was creamy, rich, and had a good Biscoff flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed One12 Caffe. There is a good variety of coffee, brunch items, and desserts, so there's something for pretty much everyone. The food was solid, the drinks were good, and the robotic coffee arm was definitely a fun bonus. My personal favorites were the Biscoff Cookie Latte, Short Rib Benedict, and Biscoff Cheesecake. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu!

Dessert lovers, you need to check out One Twelve Caffe in Downey!…read more They have a beautiful selection of pastries, mousse cakes, and desserts freshly made throughout the day. I couldn't resist trying some of their fun and creative sweets! The berry cheesecake was such a cute concept! You get to squeeze the berry jam right onto the cake yourself. The adorable pumpkin-shaped cake was another favorite, filled with delicious, creamy pumpkin mousse inside! Their matcha drinks were really good too, and they seem especially known for their matcha! But what makes this place even more fun is that you can request personalized prints on your drinks! I got Hello Kitty wearing Lakers gear, and OMG, how cute is that?! Definitely a cute little spot in Downey for a sweet treat, creative desserts, and Instagram-worthy drinks!
