What a cute and innovative restaurant! We found ourselves in the area this morning for a doctors…read moreappointment and wanted to grab some breakfast after and found the amazing little place on Yelp - so glad we did! We talked to chef Julie who is the owner and she told us that they get all their ingredients from their local farm up on the mountain! ...so it's all literally farm fresh. She did not set out to have a restaurant, but her daughter talked her into it because she wanted a place to get their favorite coffee (and it's amazing)which they could only get in Silverlake, so she opened Bites and Bashes. You can really taste the love and meticulous attention to detail in this food! From the reviews we read, the breakfast burritos and pancakes were the standouts so we decided to do a split on both. We got the Pop's Pastrami breakfast burrito ($18.95) which is delicious pastrami, organic sauerkraut, eggs, crispy tater tots, provolone, scallions, house thousand island, and the secret standout ingredient - B&B's signature chopped pickles. I've never had pickles on a breakfast burrito but believe me when I say it was an amazing add and experience. The taste of this burrito came alive in my moth like a beautiful symphony orchestra giving attention to notes that you love but didn't know they played so well together! So great!! The second item we got was not on the menu but they had it featured in a displayed at the register where you order. It was the Banana Turo Pancakes ($16.95) and they were beautifully fantastic - in flavor and presentation. They are banana pancakes with salted caramel, crispy lumpia filletine, sautéed jackfruit and plantains. These pancakes were amazing! We also got vanilla lattes ($6.50) which are made with the beans of their favorite roaster and these lattes were wonderful. 5 glowing stars all the way around!! So glad we made it to Lomita this morning!

We started off our breakfast with delicious vanilla lattes (6.95). Perfectly made & not too sweet and hot and creamy. Delish coffee with a proper coffee machine. I wish I had a whole vat of that elixir! Then we moved onto the banana caramel Turo pancakes ($16.95) and the pops pastrami breakfast burrito ($18.95). Wow. The massive 3 stack of banana pancakes are visually a work of art and are so divine in taste. They remind me of a mochi pancake in the delightful light yet spongy texture and I am one picky pancake eater. We will be taking half home. The whole thing is drizzled in a sweet caramel sauce that is so yum. They have carmelized plantains on top as well as jackfruit. Chefs kiss. Onto the burrito. It is creamy, savory and sweet due to the best homemade pickles wedged in there (b&b signature chopped pickles) and has pastrami, eggs, taters, and sauces and other yum all rolled up. This place is really inventive and flavorful! Gaby was on point and did a great job running front of house. Chef Julie came out and we had a lovely convo with her. A lot of the food comes from a family farm that is run just up the hill! Her passion for food is obvious and she was quick to credit her amazing team. I can't wait to come back and try a salad with fresh veggies and other items. All in all, a great experience!

Aurora took great care of us! I had the outstanding horchata - big enough to share! My companions and I each got the superb chicken and waffles, which simply can't be beat. A little sweet, a little savory - the fried chicken breast is tender, crispy, crunchy perfection. We'll be back!

The good: pancakes are actually pretty good. Can't complain…read more The bad: maple syrup tasted watered down. No maple flavor at all. Would have been better bringing my own bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Service was weird and bad. Nobody came to greet us and offer water and take drink order for at least 5 minutes after seating. The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

Server Fatima was just the right level of attentive and kind. Nothing on the table was sticky with syrup residue and the place appeared clean throughout. The menu is extensive - don't be misled by the name of the restaurant - it's not only pancakes. Coffee, soda, two breakfast meals with tax came to about $39.00 prior to tip, which I consider good value these days. This will go up on my list of pancake places for sure and I'll consider it for lunches and dinner.

Well, this old-style breakfast joint lived up to it's Yelp rating. Nice service, and the food was great. I had the blueberry pancakes with a side of egg and bacon.

But, the blueberry pancakes had actual blueberries mixed into the batter, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar to complete the dish. Nicely done.

My husband loves chilaquiles and was thrilled to find a whopping 7 options! I prefer to eat vegan if I can and was super impressed with their soyrizo and just egg plate with potatoes. I got a side of sourdough toast and was surprised how thick the slices of sourdough were! My friend got a benedict which also looked delicious. There were several other things on the menu I would have loved to try such as the fruity pebble pancakes! The great options didn't just stop at the food, they had amazing drinks too! Tea/coffee lattes, mimosa flights - you name it! They also have both indoor and outdoor seating with cover for the outdoor seating. Definitely good for groups. The wait can be a little long on the weekend but once we were seated everything came out pretty promptly. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will certainly be back!

I went to The Nook Breakfast Spot on PCH in Lomita the other day in search of a new local breakfast…read morespot in the South Bay. The service was amazing from start to finish. The restaurant team was very welcoming and there is plenty of seating indoor or outdoor based on your preference and availability. With many delicious options to choose from, the meal that stood out to me was, The Nook Marinated Steak & Eggs which was delicious!! It actually brought back memories from a breakfast spot I used to go to, growing up, before it closed. I'm very happy to have found this dish at a new local restaurant. My bestie ordered the Green Chilaquiles with rice and beans on the side along with fresh squeezed orange juice. She enjoyed her meal very much, to which she said "it's difficult to find restaurants with delicious chilaquiles as it is, and to have a generous side of rice and beans. Also, the orange juice is indeed freshly squeezed which makes it tastes amazing as well." If you're in the South Bay looking for a new local spot, try out The Nook Breakfast Spot, it will not disappoint!

First time at The Nook.

Our server generally ignored us the rest of the meal. My wife's coffee was never even refilled. I ordered the Seafood Benedict, which came with shrimp and 'krab'. It was very forgettable: the hollandaise was bland, the English muffin was barely toasted and the krab was fairly cold. For a $19 plate, it was severely lacking.
