Millie’s Cafe

Millie’s Cafe is a neighbourhood breakfast spot with nearly a century in Silver Lake: it opened in 1926 and keeps a broad menu of morning dishes, lunch and drinks. Breakfast is served all day and includes choices such as chilaquiles, waffles, scrambles and vegan plates; gluten-free options are also listed on the restaurant’s menu. The listing checked showed 4.6/5 from 1,677 opinions, while Tripadvisor showed 4.5/5 from 104. Visitors praise the portions and speed, although the queue grows at weekends.

The range suits different tastes in a group, from classic breakfasts to sandwiches and vegan plates. Comments often highlight the relaxed atmosphere and chilaquiles; others mention that walk-in service can mean a wait. The public menu lists dishes and drinks at varied prices, and there is no need to order a full spread to share; travellers keeping costs down can choose a simple plate or takeaway.

The address is 3524 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90026; phone (323) 664-0404. It opens daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., except Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Silver Lake location is first come, first served and has no online waitlist; phone orders for pickup and delivery through platforms are available. It is on the Sunset corridor, within walking distance of shops, cafés and transit. To avoid a long wait, visit on a weekday or arrive early.
