Nat's West Cafe - Canoga — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Nat’s West is the sequel to the beloved Sherman Oaks breakfast joint Nat’s Early Bite where you can get basic breakfast goods and coffee, done about as perfectly as you could hope for. Would Nat’s West live up to the quality we’d come to expect from their sibling in the east? For the most part yes!

We headed to Nat’s West late one Sunday morning where we were greeted with the familiar crowds waiting to get seated. That’s a good sign, especially at a breakfast place. It didn’t take all that long for them to find room for us and pretty soon the coffee arrived. This was probably my only disappointing part about the experience. The other location (and I’m not sure if they’re actually connected anymore) does coffee exactly right, very bold, never thin tasting. The roast I got here was on the thin side. Acceptable, but not the “wow this is great coffee” level that I’m hoping for.

It got much better from there. I had two eggs (whites) scrambled with cheddar cheese and a side of perfectly cooked hash browns. It’s a basic breakfast fantasy and they did it perfectly…hash browns crispy on the outside, and fully cooked and soft on the inside. The egg whites were perfect too.

I also had what they call a carrot muffin (though fans of the other location will know it as the Morning Glory Muffin…this leads me to believe these 2 locations don’t talk anymore.) The muffin tasted similar but was slightly overbooked…a little denser than I wanted it.

Two other folks in the party got the Special Green Omelet with home fried potatoes. The omelet was full of greens, topped with avocado and yummy…and the home fried potatoes were also done just as perfectly as the hash browns I got.

Our kid got the Bananas Foster French Toast which also was done perfectly and tasted pretty sinfully good.

Nat’s is probably the best basic breakfast place in the west valley and if we lived closer we’d spend a lot more time there…especially if they gave a more consistent bold...

I was going to use the bathroom before my meal, and it turns out that out of 3 toilets, 2 were covered. When I realized it, I went out before using the bathroom to let them know. When I was already urinated, a worker came in to check and flushed the water, which It resulted in the water leaking from the toilet, and well, it almost hit my boots, just because I was half urinated, I didn't run out, then they didn't have decaf anymore, which is understandable, but for reasons of my stomach health I can't drink regular coffee or milk, the very kind waitress offered me tea and I said yes, but the water they gave me was cold, today is a rainy day I wanted something warm 😒😒😒😒😒😒 now it was not my day at Nat's, even so I still love their food ,By the way, I told them about the toilets because I know that one appreciates being notified of an emergency, but I think the waiters thought wrongly, because later I heard a waitress tell her colleagues that the lady at the table ( ) says that the...
