Busting at the seams with customers wanting a piece of that biscuit! Homemade jam? Yes please! Wide menu selection can take your tastebuds on a spin. Biscuits and gravy had a nice accent of rosemary to lift that gravy to another level of comfort. One biscuits is huge! The full order is a very large portion easy to share. I liked their take on the classic dishes to make it stand out from the mundane. Welcoming as soon as we approached the door. They hustled with service for our table. I never had to ask for a refill! A feat sometimes hard to achieve. They're a great team working hard to keep their customers satisfied. Indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of room for a large group if you're the first ones to arrive. Other than that be prepared to wait. Convenient street parking available. Would definitely return when I need a good breakfast hug.

Loveeeee this place we come here 2 times a month of not more. We love all the staff . Parking is a bit complicated but we alway get lucky and park right in front. The vanilla sweet cream cold brew is great my husband gets it all the time black coffees also amazing nothing like it. We prefer to sit outside no matter what rain or shine. The inside is a bit loud but it's OK to sit inside. we just prefer the outside. Staff is extremely attentive. there is no bad dish on this entire menu. Everything is so good and spot on. You must try the blackened chicken sandwich that's great and all of the Chilaquiles are just to die for. If you haven't tried this place once you do it'll be one of your favorite places to come. Always try to check in early on the Yelp app because there is quite a wait if you don't, but if you do have to wait wait because the food is totally worth it.

Had breakfast at Millie's Diner and tried their chilaquiles. It was decent, though not the best I've ever had. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pancakes--they were amazing! The lines can get pretty long, especially during peak hours, but the buzzy atmosphere makes the wait worthwhile. The staff was friendly and the service efficient. Overall, a solid spot for a hearty breakfast if you don't mind a bit of a wait.

I'm sorry I forgot about this place!! And I used to live around here, up by the Altadena hills many years back. I stumbled upon here after reading some yelp reviews and I had to make it out here again for old times sake with my daughter. We absolutely loved their refreshing lavender lemonade. My daughter especially loves lemonades and she loves the color purple and we love lavender. I love all things lavender. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Parking is around the building off Washington Blvd. You really can't miss it since all the cars park there. There's not much street parking nearby. Today being Taco Tuesday, I wanted to go along with the Mexican theme so I ordered the Chilaquiles with the red sauce and easy eggs. I had asked for the pico de gallo. That was so fresh and added up the flavors. I loved it, I asked for another pico de gallo and then another. My server, Joey, was so nice and accommodating with the salsa and checking up, I give him 5 stars for such excellent customer service. Thanks Millie's team for a memorable delicious breakfast, again. I'll be back with my daughter when she's in town.

We came here on a Saturday morning for lunch and waited around 30 minutes. There's plenty of seating outside and it's relatively shaded. We ordered the Irish Benedict and the California omelette. The California omelette was delicious and was filled with generous portions of bacon and avocado. The Irish Benedict's flavor was also good, but the muffin could've been softer. Overall, this place is a great choice for American brunch on the weekend with an extensive menu.

Added myself to the waitlist n advance via Yelp. Got there and got seated without much issue. Was seated inside and it was very noise (I suggest outside if you want to have a conversation). The staff was above attentive and worked like a well oiled machine. Was asked by 3 different servers if we wanted coffee within 2 min of being seated. Order "the usual" we ordered basic American fare of bacon eggs pancakes and potato's. While waiting I saw many others dishes come out that all looked delicious. When my food came it was just meh. The pancakes were warm at best and the eggs potatoes all felt like they were off an assembly line and not necessarily cooked to order. Over all I'd definitely try this place again but I'd sit outside and order something not made en masse. The service was outstanding and the staff really hustled. There was certainly a rushed vibe. I also order the chocolate shake which was nothing to rave about..

WOW! Millie's was such a great brunch spot! We parked in a parking lot behind the building, off of Washington blvd. I went here on a Friday around 12:30-1pm and didn't have to wait to be seated, there was indoor and outdoor seating. We sat indoors and there was a good amount if tables, it did get a bit loud. Also the staff were all super kind and helpful! We decided to get the pork belly benny, single monkey banana pancake, and the wagyu patty melt. These were all soooo good! Definitely recommend. The pork belly benny had a really good sauce, the pork wasn't overcooked and the side of rosemary potatoes were so tasty! The monkey banana pancake was also amazing. Im not usually a pancake person but this was soo good! It was moist and had chocolate chips, banana, and walnuts. It tasted just like banana bread! And the wagyu patty melt was on a crispy rye bread cooked perfectly. The bread wasn't too toasted and the had a good amount of thousand island dressing so it wasn't dry at all. Would 100% come back and recommend! I can't imagine how crowded they get on the weekends.

The absolute best BANANA pancakes I have ever eaten. I'm talking melt In your mouth delicious and needed nothing but some butter! I had the usual and the bacon was nice and thick without being fatty and the eggs were fresh. We were seated very quickly for a Sundaymorningaround 10-11am and I took immediate notice of how organized the staff was at communicating to get the customers in and out smoothly in a timely matter without feeling rushed. I was throughly impressed! I enjoyed my breakfast outside on their patio since it was a beautiful morning.
