Millie’s Café Review

I've definitely had A LOT better than this place. It really doesn't impress at all. I guess I expected a lot more from a place that has such high ratings on Google and Yelp.

It's very crowded, but we were able to get seated outside right away. The outdoor seating feels a bit awkward, as it's practically right there on the sidewalk with people trying to shuffle past your table. All the tables are also very close together, so it's hard to not overhear other people's conversations or have people overhear yours. Not something I'm big on as a rather introverted person, personally.

The food is pretty much middle-America diner sort of quality, so I really don't understand why the hipsters around here would rate it so highly. I liked the potatoes, to be fair! But the omelette and the pancakes were both very underwhelming, and had very little flavor to them. Also, the drinks here were so SMALL and EXPENSIVE. $5 for probably the smallest orange juice in the world. I understand mark-up on drinks to improve a restaurant's profit margins, but this was a bit too ridiculous for my taste.

The service was pretty good, a bit slow at times, but they seemed attentive and efficient for the most part.

All in all, more of a disappointment than a pleasurable experience. I know many other reasonably priced brunch spots in the Silver Lake and Los Angeles area to hit up instead, so I probably won't be coming back.

Great food and coffee, fast friendly service. Would definitely come back

Yummy gluten free pancakes, reasonable prices, great service!

Great food, lots of choice, fast courteous service, reasonably priced. Breakfast was perfect so glad this popped up in our trip thru LA

Great spot, food was flavourful and interesting. Many items on the menu I would like to try plus vegetarian and vegan options. I was disappointed with my pancakes tho, both flavour and texture. Sitting at the bar was a great show too! Such skilled and hardworking cooks!

This place is a little hole in the wall but sure is a hidden gem. the food there is great and a really cute place for a date just take her at a time where it isn't so busy.

We sat outside under the fig tree, great service and the bacon waffle with whipped butter was delicious. Lots of traffic on Sunset Blvd but that s not their fault. Good coffee. Generous portions and options. Might be back tomorrow.

This place was very slow staff was slow unconcerned about if you got your food hot or cold or if you even got your food at or how long it took I waited 35 minutes to get my order fee to go order it was disrespectful to all the other restaurant tours in Las Angeles to how this restaurant they need to be shut down real reason why people are not torment them waiting for their order terrible service I don't recommend this place to anyone

Amazing breakfast food. We got the tacos and burrito. Can t wait to go back!

Great vegan selection (Maps menu is not up to date)

Despite being crazy busy, especially on the weekend, the staff at Millie's do a great job of keeping everyone happy. Classic diner food, but a bit elevated from you average greasy spoon. Gluten free waffle available!

Food here is delicious. Customer service is great too! Gotta try all the pancakes. They're so delicious

I absolutely loved this place. The next time I come to LA I HAVE to come back. The line looked long but it surprisingly did not take long for them to sit us down. The customer service is amazing and very fast, you never have to wait for a drink to be refilled or an extra item you d like. They also have gluten free options that taste like normal non-gluten free options (which my Mom absolutely loved). The staff was super efficient and friendly. If you haven t already been here you have to come!

Ok spot for tasty Cafe food. You will not be disappointed in the menu and service. Next time I'll be back with my coworkers. It has a nice feel to it. Menu is like a place in Miami I enjoyed

Silverlake standard! Millies is great comfort food and the best selection of local hangover/rocker types in LA.

Great service, efficient operation as a whole. Basic food options and basic taste. Nothing with a spin or special to them, but I will say that s what makes it have quality.. you know what you re getting when you order it. Wide variety for the traditional diner in a hip environment. Try the chocolate chip pancakes!

Awesome place and awesome staff. We ate breakfast at Millie's four consecutive mornings with a party of 10+ each time. The staff was always inviting, gracious, and accommodating. Then there's the food. Delicious food with plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Definitely recommend. Great group of people

I love everything about this place! I came here for a short vacay with a few friends. My friend who resides in LA, told us we were going to love the food here! Personally, I'm glad this was his recommendation.

Small yet quaint with a bit of a hipster feel. The patrons seemed to love coming here, because there was a long line! We had to wait for a good 20 minutes before we got seated. While waiting, I had the chance to walk next door for a little bit of shopping at a boutique. I came back and found that we were seated in no time! Staff were courteous and friendly. They've given a handful of delicious recommendations off their menu. Angel's Mess, Salmon Benedict, Monkey Banana Pancakes, etc.

Since I'm currently trying to be a vegetarian, I was happy they were able to cater to their customers! A lot of Vegetarian options to choose from. I ordered their Vegetarian Bennie which consisted of two toasted English muffins, Vegan sausage patties, two poached eggs, and topped with homemade hollandaise sauce. Overall, I loved every bite of it! I devoured their rosemary potatoes too! Add a cup of coffee and juice, you'll be good to go! Am I fan? YES!

Excellent food if you don't mind waiting like 2 hours to eat... it's always like that. But their food is awesome

Very busy place, but they definitely can handle it. Friendly, fast and competent staff! Food is awesome. Very delicious. The Espresso they are using is too acidic. That would be the improvement they could make.

I love this place
Excellent service and food

The sweet potatoe waffles washed down with a pineapple mimosa outside was sooo good! The waitress was lovely too.

Going to Millie's Cafe was the first time I went to enjoy the food and different options of soft drinks

So it's small. Really small. Like I had a full blown conversation with the tourist couple next to me about how awesome my waffle was. Service was friendly and the food came quick. I had a coffee and chilaquiles benedict, and my girlfriend had the golden waffle with banana and strawberries. All of that was really modestly priced for what it was. Great place for brunch if your ever visiting. 9/10 would definitely make this a regular stop

Wow! Customer service is great and this Vegan Chilaquiles Burrito is one of the best things I have ever had.

Great customer service. Delicious food ! Long line but moved fairly quick. Shout out to the kitchen and staff for an amazing experience. I love y all. FDT !

You wanna talk about BOMB BREAKFAST?! Or you wanna talk ABOUT!!!! The Banana Chocolate chip pancakes.....MY OH MY...The Chilaquiles?? Crispy and good flavor!! Coffee is good, and the service is on it. Well worth any wait !!

I had a great Breakfast with my Daughter at Millie's Cafe in Silverlake. Great service, excellent food, great location, right on Sunset Blvd, with sidewalk seating. Overall a great experience! I highly recommend it!!

Millie's is the breakfast place to beat in Silver Lake. This classic route 66 diner has been around for nearly 100 years and I hope they get a hundred more. Lines on the weekend can get a bit long, but it usually moves fast. It is worth the wait though. I would recommend the chicken fried chicken or the blueberry waffle (the best waffle I have ever had.) They have a huge menu and a variety of options for those with more restrictive diets. Easily one of my top spots in all of LA. Visit seelainaday on IG to take a tour of Silver Lake and you'll go right past it!

Delicious food, and quick service. Reasonable prices.

Awesome service and menu. Everything inside and outside is clean including the restroom.

Friendly staff and offers a choice of healthy food.

Millie's Special every time. Spinach, cream cheese scramble with perfectly seasoned rosemary potatoes and fluffy biscuit. So good!

Great place! Awesome service.

Crab Benedict

Pretty high end stuff you guys. Tasty breakfast w a million options. Unlimited coffee. Some big girl was bein loud near us but that ain't the restaurant's fault. Everyone's just out here bein emselves. Respect

Stopped here before leaving the LA area and we were not disappointed. The food and the atmosphere here were great. Enjoyed eating our food outside wroth the great weather. Will definitely stop by again when I go back.

Friendly people, quickly served, and delicious food. Unique Huevos Rancheros!

It's an institution for a reason. Amazing service, extensive menu of the usual brunch fare (with lots of vegan options), prices are pretty good for the area. It's often busy with a lineup, but they turn tables over so efficiently (without pressuring anyone to finish). Absolutely recommended.

We came here from toronto and the staff was very friendly. The line moves pretty fast and their food is awesome. Also theyre really on point with coffee refilling. I dont think i even got to finish a cup before another refill came. :)

Lovely place. Reminds me of the coffee spots in the best cities In the world ala Austin Tx. Portland OR, San Francisco, Denver, Amsterdam. Say yes to Millie's Cafe.

Great classic American breakfast. I recommend sitting at the breakfast bar so you can watch the line cooks work. Good coffee, OJ, hashbrowns and everything else.

It's an amazing place. Food is awesome and really good! Staff is really cool too! Recommend to everyone to come and try it.

Too bland for my taste. Ordered 4 over medium eggs, turkey sausage patties, hash brown, with a side of toast. Nothing special about the meal.

$7.80 for a regular matcha latte! (I could be +/- a few cents) it s a decent spot but the prices are through the roof...it s in SilverLake at the end of the day.

Worth the wait! Fantastic omelets and biscuits. It's busy but the staff keeps things moving.

I ordered from the weekend special menus. I ordered the biscuit, chilaquiles, duck and cluck, short stack pancakes and the very berry French toast. Everything was super delicious, I especially liked the duck sausage and French toast. The service was outstanding and my coffee cup was never empty. A perfect eating experience.

This is my favorite breakfast place in Silverlake and surrounding areas. It's often crowded, but they seat you fast and worth the wait. Prices are reasonable and good portions. I always get "The Usual": eggs, meat, potatoes, and choice of pancake or french toast. $10.99.

Amazing foods! We loved the Mr. Max Pants and the Breakfast little. They had a pineapple mint lemonade that was delish and even their house coffee is on point. Can't wait to go back to try the rest of them :)

Place was quite crowded on a Sunday morning but we got sat pretty quickly. Everyone was friendly. Service was quick. Food was Bomb! Great plate presentation. Prices were good. Lots of options.

Good breakfast. Large, tantalizing menu. Portions were a little small.

The seating sucks, its a place where you go just to eat. because. The food is good, worth it. Just go eat no time for drink or relax there just get your food and go.

So good we had to come back for another go. Friendly and efficient service and a wide range of excellent choices on the brunch menu. I've had both the Salmon Benedict for breakfast and the Fajitas for lunch - both good - but the burritos look really tasty, too. If I lived locally, I'd definitely become a regular.

Somehow, it gets more popular but the service doesn't flag

The food was great, the price was reasoanle, little wait to get a table, but it was very crowded and tables are right up on each other (Sunday 9:39/10)

I definitely recommend this place. I saw the reviews before picking it and I do not regret. The plates are big, the quality and service are great, the location is good, and has a varied menu. It will always be in my list of options.

Bomb breakfast! Would have been 5 stars if there was just a little more room; but it's still a great place

Great spot that is just enough out of the way to be quaint, and enough room to actually hang out and chill. Love the matcha late!

Visited on day by chance in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The service was cheerful & efficient! The food was so good we had to return the very next day!!!

Best breakfast spot in LA. Amazing service, delicious creative meals.

Extensive and delicious menu, outdoor seating, excellent service. My personal recommendation: the chilaquiles benedict!

Amazing breakfast place! But watch out because it's very popular and you will have to wait. The seating is really fun as it's on the sidewalk on sunset. You need to try the pancakes with coconut flour!
