San Fernando Valley-weekend breakfast

Early risers on Saturday and Sunday.

Looking for a non-chain cafe for breakfast.

Open to everything from northern Chinese to South African.

A full Monty English breakfast would be splendid, too.

Thanks,

CatHair is a Condiment in my house

    Sona's in Encino is the same ownership as Jumpin' Java. They also offer a full breakfast menu. Don't forget about the Little Cafe in Tarzana. Theirs is always popular, although not the finest IMHO

      Jinky's on ventura. Try the Flakey French Toast. More than waffles on Ventura in Encino in a big mini mall. Dupars in studio city. Nat's early bite is good too. Supposedly Ike Turner is a regular...but it's still good.

          Holy moly! No mention of Brent's Deli in Northridge?

          I'd drive from Salt Lake City to eat breakfast or any other meal there.

          Forget the "famous" places...Brent's is far and away the best deli in SoCal.

            Hugo's in Studio City on Riverside.

            Marmalade Cafe on Ventura.

            Follow your Heart in Canoga Park

              Jumpin' Java ius great but always a wait -- they have a sister restaurant with same menu that is less busy in Encino - Sona's.
              Brent's in Northridge is always a winner, too!

                Jumpin Java in Studio City on Ventura has great multigrain pancakes and scrambled eggs. The coffee's tasty. The service can be slow but that seems to be because it's busy. We like A & W at Reseda/Prairie for dim sum. The selection is limited but everything is fresh and tasty.

                  I like the mariachi brunch served at La Paz in Calabasas.

                    I really love the omelettes at La Fogatta, on Van Nuys Blvd. Lovely and spicy Mexican fare with traditional American breakfast options, too. I highly recommend the Ranchero omelette.

                      The Baker on Ventura Blvd. between Topanga and Canoga. They make the best challah in town and on Saturday they make challah french toast. I also really like their eggs with homemake harissa. All the breads and pastries are made on the premises and they are wonderful.

                        Robin Hood British Pub & Restaurant does full proper English breakfast, in Sherman Oaks.

                        For a good ol' American breakfast, we like Nat's Early Bite in Van Nuys, Hazeltine and Burbank.

                          We love Nat's. The food is good. It's always busy. It's changed hands a few times but it's as good as evern.

                          Manila Good-Ha! in Panorama City or Nanay Gloria in North Hollywood for Filipino breakfast (tapsilog)

                            What's good to order at Nanay Gloria? It looks like a diner/dive :) which is a GOOD thing, sometimes :)

                            But I enjoy most Filipino food.

                            Thanks,

                              I usually just get tapsilog or longsilog. I prefer Good-Ha! because the eggs are made fresh.
