Wow! What a cute little cafe. This actually wasn't our first choice because we didn't know any better! We had gone down to a diner in Belmont Shore but it was way too crowded.
Husband said, "let's go back to 4th Street to that place at the corner at Ximeno."
"Sure," I said.
Best decision of that day.
The service was phenomenal. It's run by very few people but they got it all covered. Super friendly too.
But that day, I was just not feeling like eggs. (slight hangover from the night before lol) so I ordered the "Built Oatmeal". So good. It was loaded with granola, bananas, raisins, blueberries, brown sugar and whipped butter. The server asked if I wanted some milk with my oatmeal. YES, thank you! This bowl of oats made me feel 100% better! Good on my stomach :)
Husband did suggest that I order an egg on the side. So I did, poached. And also a side of squaw toast. It was the best. Simple and perfect. The big chonky squaw bread was toasted and buttered. Excellent! This along with my bowl of oats made me feel 100% better! Good on my stomach :)
Husband had the Huevos Rancheros - tortillas, refried beans, tomatoes, two eggs, cheddar cheese, salsa, jalapenos, black olives, green onions, avocado, and sour cream. And served with home style potatoes. He chose corn tortillas over toast. It was the BEST he had ever had! And he's eaten this dish just about everywhere on earth, true story!
Don't forget to check out all the art on the walls, counter seatings, ceiling! Pretty cool.
I cannot wait for our next visit here, hopefully...
Read moreDrove down from West LA specifically for this little neighborhood diner and I am so happy that I did so. The food was honestly terrific and our server was very sweet. It’s more of a local country diner than a retro diner but you can tell they cater to the locals, in a good way. It’s pretty small on the inside and remolded since some of the pics in the reviews so there is limited table options but service is very fast so I would guess they turn quickly. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot but free street parking in the neighborhood is easy to find. Also the pricing is so fair, our bill came out to be way less than we expected so it truly is a great spot to visit.
For my breakfast I chose one of the specials for the day which was the Chicken Chile Verde Omelette and I added steak as well for $3.50 extra. What a deal! The chile on top was delicious and so were both proteins. The portion size was also quite large and the side of hash browns were perfectly crispy. I was honestly really impressed and being that I’m not the biggest omelette fan to begin with, this one made me rethink that because I am already craving this dish again so probably going to have to drive down from Santa Monica again sometime soon and I would suggest to anyone else in the LB area or close to give Egg...

Just last week we had given another shot and it was a direct bullseye home! With the return of the original owner and crew, feels like returning home after a long trip with same great flavors we have been waiting for. Back with original menus, original taste and new takes on specials and salsas we couldn’t be happier! Nothing but love, good vibes and great food comes from this Cafe! If your new, visiting or long time local to LB this a definite spot to try out! Can’t go wrong!
Long time customer of this establishment since 8 or 9 years of age or even sooner and have been regulars every week since I could remember with my grandparent. It always felt like HOME! I was super upset when they had to change owners and crew due to covid and had been changing new management since. The wife and I had tried eating here during the movement, but I was never the same. But now you better believe we will be there every week. Hopefully more than once a week! Thank you Margarita and Gabe for aways make sure we are well taken care of and to the crew behind the scenes for bringing the flavors we have been longing for!
Welcome back Egg Heaven Cafe...
