Nick’s Cafe near Chinatown and Union Station left an indelible impression, especially with their French toast. From the moment the plate arrived, the aroma of warm, cinnamon-infused goodness enveloped the table. The French toast itself was a culinary masterpiece — golden-brown perfection on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside.
The attention to detail was evident; each slice had just the right balance of sweetness, and the hint of vanilla elevated the overall flavor profile. Topped with a dusting of powdered sugar and a generous dollop of whipped butter, it was a visual and gastronomic delight.
What stood out beyond the delectable French toast was the warm and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable.
While I indulged in the French toast, glancing around, it was evident that Nick’s Cafe takes pride in their diverse menu. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food, making it a great value for a satisfying breakfast.

Nick's Cafe in LA was highly recommended and didn't disappoint. They seem to know what they're doing for 75 years!
Their "signature" Ham & Eggs is a standout with fresh homemade hash browns. I try to never order greasy, frozen tasteless hash browns but these were neither.
Fantastic place! Proper local diner. Good food, efficient and professional service. I get what some say about the coffee but it wasn't too terrible. Excellent value for money. Properly set me up for the day.
Came here for breakfast around 9AM , we had a little wait , but def worth it because the food was really good. I ordered Nicks Sandwich and corn beef hash and eggs - everything was 10/10
If you’re ok with the wait ; this place is worth it.
The service was amazing, the waiter (didn’t get her name) had great energy and was extremely helpful.
I ordered the French Toast with scrambled eggs and ham (it was delicious)
My mother ordered the chilaquiles and nope to be honest they were flavorless!
The coffee would have been perfect is paired with coffee creamer not (cow milk)
Overall the best part was the service and the French Toast lol
The food was amazing! I couldn’t even eat it all the portion was very large. I will definitely visit again.
Drove all the way from Albuquerque, NM. Local is the only way to eat when you travel. This diner was amazing. The food is great, and the service is even better! I'm glad we came here.
Nicks was a great breakfast choice! We got the Cali scramble with chorizo and the meat lover skillet. Fresh coffee, fresh ingredients, and great service. Small local spot, here since 1948 and I see why they’ve been around for so long. 10/10 would come back to try the lunch menu

4.7 The French toast was fantastic, filling, and is going on our list as a family fave. We questioned it at first because it looked like slices of French bread, which we weren’t used to, but it was absolutely delicious. The strips of bacon on the side were so huge and perfectly crisply that they’ve raised our bar for bacon too. While we didn’t dine-in, it had an old school, no frills diner vibe, was packed, and the food on the tables looked delicious.
Line outside was very long on a Sunday morning so we opted for take out. Ordering through their website was easy to find and had no extra charges. Our only hesitation was the $2 fee for butter and syrup. We didn’t pay it but it still came with it.
Where to pick up the food and where to stand without blocking the entrance was confusing. I waited 5 minutes while the person in front of me ordered before I was helped but they gave me a coffee for the wait so I didn’t mind. The reason I can’t give 5 stars is because of the styrofoam used for my takeout boxes and cup. I’ll have to dine in or bring my own container next time.
