Hearts Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Los Angeles

CASH ONLY. As soon as they set the food down, I knew it was going to be a great meal based on the quality of the food and how great it looked. Heart’s is a small diner located just west of Van Nuys in the heart of the valley. I would say it’s the classic retro diner and has that classic LA look on the inside. They have a lot of different seating options, both booth and counter and a giant bustling kitchen. There is a parking lot with free parking attached with plenty of spaces. Also, our server was very polite and all the food items came out very quickly. They also did a great job with the drink refills and checking in on us often.

They have a fairly large menu filled with all sorts of diner classics. Based on a lot of other reviews, I wanted to try their Country Fried Steak, and I am very happy that I did so. The white gravy on top was truly delicious and obviously homemade, the steak itself was cooked perfectly, and not too crispy, and their homemade butter really was delicious and added to the flavors. I honestly enjoyed every bite and was impressed at the cost and quality. It is important to note that it is cash only but they do accept Zelle and also have a ATM inside.

The valley is full of amazing diners and I would consider Heart’s to be one of them. It’s truly a great breakfast option and I would recommend to anyone. I drove up from West LA specifically for it and I’m happy...

This is the best diner in the valley! If I could Give 10 stars I would. Growing up here there are a lot of good food options. I’ve tried pretty much every coffee/breakfast spot around with that being said this is the best diner I have ever been to and will continue to go to as long as i am able. It is Family owned and operated with love and care. I have much respect for this business and as a business man myself I see the care taken into the service provided. From my grandfather to my father to me and to my kids I will continue to pass along this amazing diner valley secret. I felt compelled to write this as I’ve always had great great experiences here over years. With this said I hope whoever reads this makes their mind up and visits one of the most reliable best comfy places with friendly service. I usually order breakfast but my family loves all the dinner and sandwich meals as well. If you’re super uppity and a Karen or ken go find your avocado toast somewhere else and please be nice if you do visit. I mean that with respect because this is a classic diner. This is a hometown diner and has earned the respect and love of the community. So they prolly even have the avo toast but get something better. Your tastebuds will thank me or don’t and enjoy some original valley vibes. Bring cash or there is an atm but ain’t nobody got time for...

I ordered a breakfast special with two eggs, three pancakes, and hashbrowns with coffee. After us, there were some regulars who showed up. Needless to say, the lady taking up our order seemed more concerned with catering to the regulars than to us. The only coffee refill I had was thanks to a regular who was sitting next to us and offered to refill my mug since the server/owner(?) placed a coffee pot in front of him. Regarding the food, the eggs were cooked as requested, just missing some salt, just like the hashbrowns, but that can easily be solved, obviously. For those with sodium intake issues, this is obviously a plus. On the other hand, the pancakes were dry and chewy, and I didn't like the flavor. I'm partial to pancakes made from scratch, so as busy as this place was, it's understandable if their pancakes come out of a box. I just didn't care for them. All things considered, at $7, this breakfast was worth what I paid for. I probably won't...
