As a Los Angeles local who’s spent countless mornings exploring the city’s vibrant food scene, let me share my top breakfast spots that have become my go-to’s over the years. From classic delis to innovative eateries, these spots offer more than just a meal – they’re an experience!
“In the morning, breakfast is crucial, particularly for those with bustling schedules like many professionals. For Rocky Xu in L.A., this meal is key to maintaining a balanced and productive life.”
Since the mid-2000s, Rocky Xu has been involved in both fashion and music, collaborating with well-known brands such as Nike, Converse, Beats By Dre, Awake NY, Family Style Food Festival, and others. His newest project, Rocky’s Matcha, is leading a modern trend of promoting the benefits of traditional Japanese green tea powder. Since 2022, his matcha products have been making their way into major cities’ streets, partnering with boutiques, cafes, and establishments across the United States and the U.K.
Rocky has generously provided us with his top picks for breakfast and beverages (coffee/tea/matcha) spots in Los Angeles, blending well-known favorites with hidden gems. This list is designed to suit the tastes of health-conscious individuals while still appealing to those who prefer a scrumptious morning meal.

Jon & Vinny’s
“The original location on Fairfax is arguably my favorite place to take a breakfast meeting, thanks to the natural light that beams through the roof.
Although J&V might be renowned for their lunch and dinner offerings, their breakfast is truly exceptional! Indulge in pancakes if you have a sweet tooth or opt for a savory breakfast pizza instead. For those who prefer a health-conscious choice, don’t miss out on the avocado, eggs, bacon, and fresh market berries – a perfect start to your day!

Courage Bagels
Without a doubt, this place serves the finest bagels. I always look forward to visiting for their Burnt Everything bagel with salmon. Courage Bagels is also recognized for offering occasional specials; one of my favorites was the collaboration with Ghetto Gastro, featuring their spicy maple syrup on a hot buttered bagel.

Sqirl
Right next to Courage Bagels, you’ll find another Los Angeles classic, Sqirl. A must-try there is any of their toast selections, and if you prefer something heartier or arguably healthier, I recommend their bowls too!
When you’re done eating you can walk over to Sqirl market next door to pick up some pantry items.”

“Though some might disapprove of me including Erewhon on my list, I must confess my affection for their plant-based breakfast burrito. In fact, I’ve been regularly purchasing their ginger turmeric shots nearly every other day.”

Holey Grail Donuts
“As a donut enthusiast, if you’re seeking a delightful treat outside the usual breakfast fare, let me recommend Holey Grail Donuts. Though it might not be traditionally classified as breakfast, it certainly lives up to satisfying your cravings. Originating from Hawaii, this establishment now boasts two permanent stores in LA and takes great pride in crafting every donut freshly, with a unique taro base.”

If you’re seeking a meal, whether it’s before or after your visit to La Brea Avenue shops like UNION, Stüssy, UNDEFEATED, Carhartt WIP, Y-3, and others, your search ends here.
