Found a local gem this morning! Cannot rave enough about this true “cozy” cafe. On the outside, which is being painted, it may not look like much, but it has a charm that breaks through the generic, modernistic, and want to be boutique eateries of the area. What others are trying to convey The Cozy Cafe brings to you on a plate with home style meals. The iconic mix of Greek-Hispanic flair made famous by California literary great Victor Villasenor resonates in this establishment! In the center of all the “fluff” of touristy Rendondo Beach fare, sit down at the horseshoe style countertop and have a great cup of Joe, good enough for any dock worker or fisherman. Order the Huevos Rancheros and be served a large plate of eggs, papas with onions, and a “Spanish sauce” that has a Mediterranean flair! Or order the Ham Steak and Eggs and have a meal fit for a sailor! The experience is like visiting a relative’s home, catching up on recent events, and having a great meal. Day 2: Had to return for another breakfast! Was greeted like a regular! Carlos and the Saturday Morning Crew was busy serving breakfast. I had the Chorizo con Huevos, what a great meal and yes with a stack of corn tortillas and side of chilies- I ate it all! The Crew kept my coffee cup filled with that brewed gold! Walking away I felt like leaving an old friend behind and will long for this place when I return home tomorrow.
Best Huevos Rancheros hands down! Actually cozy place if you eat at the bar counter. Definitely not a modern place. Feels actually old, but if you know you're there for the food, you'll enjoy this very much!!
Great food and wide variety of breakfast and lunch offerings in a mom n popp, on the road atmosphere. Our 2nd visit surpassed even our first. Can't go wrong. going here. Reasonable prices too.
Place was awesome. In town from Philly, walked in at 7:45. Owner and his family were sitting down for breakfast. Great people. I ordered to-go to bring back to the hotel. Food was ready in maybe 5 min, could have been sub 4. Owner is super friendly and clearly proud of his place and his family. Got back to the hotel and the food was incredible. Highly recommend the stuffed banana French toast, my fiance loved it too. Home fries were magnificent. Five stars all around. Love that guy and his spot.
Cozy Cafe is a one of a kind spot. Carlos and the staff are extremely friendly and we came back multiple times. The food is good and the service is even better. Will come back every time I’m visiting from Australia.
Wondered into this cafe prior to a cruise. Nice walk from our hotel. Great food, small indoor area!! It appeared there was seating outside. Will be back next time we are in town. Great atmosphere. Friendly crowd and staff! Walking distance to Redondo Beach Pier. Family owned.
Yea, this place hits the spot while being right in the center of Redondo Beach and only 2 blocks from the beach and pier! Love coming for some delicious steak and eggs here!! Family owned and nice outdoor seating. Highly recommend for local breakfast
Lovely diner filled with locals. I got pancakes and eggs for $10 in 2025. Great value compared to ihop or norms. There are 3 seating areas: counter, front patio, and back patio. The place is bigger than it seems. Loads of free parking on side streets. Customer service was great too!
