Life runs a little slower here than the fast LA pace and we’re always up for a pause. Go on and gather your brunch buddies, line up your hotel rooms and then peruse our list below to pick the best spot for you. 

BRUNCH WITH YOUR FAMILY

PHIL’S

For the ultimate meal, the people at Phil’s follow a simple recipe – loved ones, delicious food and exceptional service. That’s why this place is hands down one of our favorites. The food is as good as they say, but it’s the above-and-beyond service that keeps us coming back, especially for a relaxed, incredible brunch with people we love.

Our Menu Item Pick: Try the Grand Marnier Challah French Toast – it’s as decadent and delicious as it sounds. See the full brunch menu here.

Our Menu Item Pick: Their most popular brunch dish is their Boar Dough Beignets dusted in cinnamon sugar and served with their Nutella sauce. See the full brunch menu here.

BRUNCH WITH YOUR BESTIES

THE WAFFLE EXPERIENCE

@TWEThousandOaks

If you’d like to see waffles turned into an art form, then this is your place. They are wild about breakfast treats and it shows. Picture locally-sourced natural and organic ingredients with waffles made from brioche bread and a menu that changes seasonally, then you’ve got an idea of the brunch heaven that awaits.

Our Menu Item Pick: We know when you think waffles, your mind automatically goes to sweet – but the Waffle Experience has amazing savory options like their “Praise the Lard” which features house braised pork belly, a cage free egg, arugula, roasted tomato, ricotta, cracked pepper agave syrup and a lardon studded herb waffle. See the full brunch menu here.

JINKY’S CAFE

If your brunch besties walk on the vegan or health-conscious side, then this is where you want to take them. They have traditional options too so not everyone has to commit to healthy. Feel free to chow down on crepes, pumpkin pancakes, Flaky French Toast, Lemon Pistachio Cream French Toast, egg dishes and more.

Our Menu Item Pick: The “Viva Las Vegan” omelet features tofu, wild rice, black beans, zucchini, corn, mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, onions and garlic-chili sauce. See the full brunch menu here.
