Bread & Porridge

One of the best brunch finds on the westside – The menu is anything but bland, incorporating plenty of breakfast staples with an original twist. Patrons are constantly craning their necks to see what's piled on the plates coming out of the kitchen. You're lucky if you snag a booth, otherwise you might get seated at one of the tables that are a lil too close together. Makes for great eavesdropping, but not so much an intimate meal. Greek omelet, California omelet, eggs benedict and fresh basil scramble are all tempting. The g... read more

More seating, same great breakfasts. – Better than Snug Harbor, which is right down the street. They have dealt with what used to be a long weight problem by placing two rows of tables in the second-storefront they acquired two or so years ago. They were using all this space for a leather sofa waiting area, but they have kept the sofas but pushed them away from the front to improve the amount of seating.

Bad service, bad food – I've been here for breakfast before and enjoyed it. Today my boyfriend and I decided to have lunch and it was a thoroughly bad experience. First, I noted when I went to the bathroom the crates of boxes of Krusteaz pancaked mix in the back. If I wanted Krusteaz pancakes I'd make them at home. I was disappointed to discover that's how B&P makes their pancakes. Second, the service throughout the meal was horrible. I'm not sure which guy was even our waiter and they all seemed to be doubling as table wash... read more

This place is a joke. $10 for two pancakes? Haha! – Some friends and I had brunch here on Sunday. What a joke. A B rating, a long wait, everything is at least 50% over priced, and it's just average at best. Service? You get your order taken and your check handed to you. Yep, that's worth 20%. We spent $60 (included tax and tip) on pancakes. And my girlfriend and I just had water. Had we had something to drink we would have been approaching $70. Haha! I'll never be back and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Buzzing by day and Relaxing at Night – Quite a place! A smallish venue, but the size of the menu packs a wallop. Stylish but a little old-school is how I describe Bread and Porridge. I've eaten here more than a few times. Yes, the dining room small, but the size of the menu makes up for that. I was there again last weekend and had their meatloaf. It is excellent ? not too much beef and not too much filling, just right! My friend had the halibut, and she loved it and especially the well finished vegetable sides. The waiters w... read more

Good wine selection and a great value – Now one of my favorite lunch & breakfast places is serving dinner. It's a quieter scene at night, and the wines are surprisingly good. This place cranks out hearty tastes ? like the barbeque which I had with their Zin and the beefstew which I washed down with a Cab on my second trip back for dinner with a date. She had their grilled wild salmon with Byron Merlot which I think was just 6 bucks a glass. Like the place, the wine list is small, but good selections. You can have a total whi... read more

It has potential – I have mixed emotions on this place... First of all let me just say it is definately over priced. The menue is pretty extensive, and really got my hopes up high, but I was let down. I oredered the eggs benidict--the yokes were cooked through- and I think for eggs benidict lovers out there that is all I really need to say. My friend got an omelet, and I was not stoked on how they don't mix the ingrediants in with the eggs. On the other hand all the pancake dishes looed great. The one plus was the cute littl... read more
