Average food, strangely attentive staff – I'm forever scouring Los Angeles for new places to dine. I decided to try my luck at Bread & Porridge. I wasn't terribly disappointed and I wasn't completely blown away either. The food is average. I had the blueberry pancakes which would have been wonderful except they were completely saturated with blueberries. The pancake itself was nice, although I wasn't able to eat too much of it. My partner had the french toast and agreed that it was "just o.k." - like me, she was disappointed... read more
Fantastic for breakfast! – Even with the bevvy of good breakfast joints in LA, this Westside hole-in-the-wall stands out! The line forms early, but it is well worth the wait.
Just ate some bad pancakes – All I wanted this morning was pancakes. I settled on Bread and Porridge because I remember that they had good food. The blueberry pancakes I got were crunchy on the outside, not fluffy like I expect. I went there when they first opened because they had a sign out that said, "World's Best Breakfast." When I left, the sign was nowhere to be seen.
BEST BREAKFAST! – YUUUUMMMMMM-O!!! I've been going to bread and porridge almost every weekend for the past year. It's hands down, by faaar, the best breakfast place in the los angeles area. Many omelette options, good portions, reasonable prices and, in my opinion, they serve a daaarn good french pressed coffee!!! They should really package and sell their yummy coffee... mmmMM MMMMMM!!! oh, pretty good banana bread too. oh oh oh!!! AND they also accept reservations! how great is that?
Great breakfast place – Highly recommend the pancakes (especially the blueberry or strawberry) and the gourmet flavored sausages. Also great omelets here. Nice cozy atmosphere, and the waitstaff is excellent. Weekend brunch can get crowded BUT if you call ahead they will put your name down. And if you forget to call ahead they have a huge waiting area where you can enjoy a cup of coffee. Why don't they expand the restaurant into this waiting area? They serve coffee in a French press (if you want) which is a nice touch but in... read more
BEST breakfast – If someone asks for a good breakfast place in LA, I don't think twice about saying B&P. they have delicious, flavorfull breakfasts. is it expensive? yes, but so are most places in LA. deal with it. I don't mind paying a little more for food as long as it's good. My favorite breakfast there is Huevos Rancheros. I love their pancakes and porridge, too. I recently discovered the most heavenly tasting omlette--goat cheese, mushrooms and onions (i asked for no spinach as it tends to make omlettes watery). so frea... read more
great for Sunday brunch – I love the omlettes here, but I agree they can be a little overpriced for what they are. Ambience and service is great, as are the very comfy booths!
Best breakfast in town – Love everything on the menu. Healthy and flavorful. Location is great too. Wish the restaurant was bigger, but still ok as is.
Best brunch on the westside – Wonderful atmosphere - the plush leather couches in the waiting room are very cozy and stylish. The waitstaff is prompt, friendly, and professional. The food - especially the sausages - is superb.
