Nano Cafe — Restaurant in Monrovia

If breakfast is your favorite meal of the day, Nano Café is where you belong. They serve it all day, but it’s the hospitality that makes this place unforgettable.

My first visit was solo, and I was lucky to have Jazmin as my server. She was fun, friendly, and knew the menu like the back of her hand. Her recommendations were on point, the food came out perfectly timed, and the entire vibe made me feel like a regular—even though it was my first time. That experience alone was enough to bring me back.

But it was our second visit that truly made Nano’s feel like home.

This time, I came with my whole family—my mom, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece, my nephew, and me. I called ahead to ask if they had seating for children. Not only did they confirm, but when we arrived 15 minutes later, they had two high chairs set up at a reserved table with warm cinnamon rolls waiting for the kids. That’s the kind of thoughtful preparation you rarely see anymore.

Barbara was our server, and she was outstanding. She brought toys for the kids, laughed with them, kept coffee flowing, and when a spill happened, she had it handled instantly—with a smile. Her energy was calm, professional, and truly caring. She didn’t just take care of us—she made us feel welcome.

“This isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory-maker.”

Nano’s has this rare quality where you walk in expecting a good breakfast, and you leave with something more. Whether you're a solo diner, a couple out for brunch, or a family navigating high chairs and napkins—they get it.

Special shout-out to Barbara: Thank you for going above and beyond. I genuinely wish you all the best in your life and your journey—take that trip with your parents. You deserve it.

Why I recommend Nano’s Café: Friendly, human service (not just “customer service”) Kid-friendly without sacrificing adult quality Always consistent food + fast coffee = winning You leave feeling better than when you arrived

“Low-key legendary. If you know, you know.”

Bottom line: Nano’s Café isn’t trying to be flashy—and that’s exactly why it works. Whether you’re local or visiting, it’s the kind of place you tell your friends about later. Because when care like this shows up on a Tuesday morning? You...

The reviews for Nano have always seemed to be very positive, and seeing as how they had Eggs Benedict on their menus - I thought I'd take my parents to try out their dishes. Unfortunately, this was the first time my dad had Eggs Benedict, and he left with a very bad overall impression of the popular breakfast dish.

Nano Café seems to be a house turned café - there are lots of tables in the front of the restaurant, but we were taken to the back - walked past the kitchen - where there were additional tables. Some waitresses seemed very friendly, but our waitress seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. But, no matter since we were here for the food, not the service.

My dad wanted to try the Eggs Benedict and I decided to try the Eggs Florentine. That was mistake number 1 and 2. I should not have ordered the Eggs Florentine, especially after my dad had decided to go for the Eggs Benedict! When both dishes came out, they looked quite similar. The only difference is that my dish has turkey and spinach while my dad's has ham. What completes an Eggs Benedict dish is the Hollandaise sauce. Unfortunately, the sauce was sour - like it was going bad! My dad asked me if this was what Hollandaise sauce is supposed to taste like. No, it's not! The turkey was dry, and the spinach mixed with the overall sauce just made the overall dish taste bad. I only finished half of my dish. And there wasn't anybody to finish the other half. My dad's dish tasted no better than mine. In fact, his dish had the sauce directly on the eggs and the muffin. Mine had the sauce on the dish - I guess they missed the muffin. We left with a bad experience of Eggs Benedict.

My sister ordered waffles with eggs and bacon, a much safer and better tasting dish. The waffle tasted as expected. Not too sweet, but with butter and syrup, was good. Both of the Eggs Benedict dishes came with hash browns, which were crispy and tasty.

Nano Café is definitely a brunch place that people should try, but I would not recommend the Eggs Benedict or Florentine. Their fried chicken and waffles or French toast looked much more popular! We also ordered orange juice, which was very pricey. Lots of parking...

After a 4-mile hike with my Fit Body friends, one of them suggested we stop by Nano Café for breakfast and I’m so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home. They even brought us a warm cinnamon roll to share at the table, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch.

For my meal, I ordered the poached salmon eggs Benedict with hash browns, and it was outstanding. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the salmon was fresh and flavorful, and the hollandaise sauce tied everything together beautifully. The hash browns were golden and crispy, just the way I like them. To top it off, I had a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice that was refreshing and tasted like it came straight from the orchard.

The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. The ambiance is cozy and laid-back, with charming decorations that make it a comfortable spot to relax after a hike or just to enjoy a weekend breakfast. Even the bathroom was spotless, which I always appreciate when dining out.

Overall, Nano Café is the perfect spot for breakfast or brunch. Between the warm hospitality, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, it’s definitely a place I’d recommend and plan to return to. Plus, it’s an ideal stop after a workout or hike with friends great food, great vibe, and the perfect way to...
