We were staying at a hotel in the Monrovia/Pasadena area and asked the staff where we could a good breakfast (we missed the hotel breakfast by a few minutes). Nano Cafe was recommended above all the other local diners. The restaurant is small but has a comfortable, cute, screened patio with a lovely mural, and the April weather was perfect, so we sat outside. Walking through, we could see that the place was packed with a diverse crowd. The menu is extensive, and they have specials. I started with Korean iced coffee. My sis ordered the crepes with Nutella, banana, strawberries and cream, and I ordered the eggs Benedict, and we split both dishes. The Bennies were good, but the crepes were outstanding! They were dense, with just the right amount and combo of toppings. Sis (who is a chef) said "this is the perfect crepe." She said the thickness was perfect. Surprisingly, the crepes seemed substantial enough to get us through an afternoon of activity. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures once the food was here. Our server was friendly and helpful. She kept our drinks refilled and asked us how we liked the food. We really liked Nano Cafe and will be sure to thank the local who referred us.

Great staff of servers! Bravo on customer service, very prompt, welcoming and genuinely friendly. We sat in the patio area, it's covered and cozy. Ordered the waffle combo and freshest combo, you really get what you pay for, nice proportions and food came out fairly fast. No line or wait time at about 9:45am. This is a nice spot for a casual breakfast which is served all day. Really hope to be back soon. Nano cafe you stole my heart

Stopped in for my first time this past weekend and can honestly say the staff is some of the nicest that I have ever encountered but they forgot our order for a table of two after we placed it so after waiting 50 minutes, our breakfast finally came out. Inside is quite small, but they do have indoor seating as well as covered outdoor seating which is where we sat. There is another location up in Sierra Madre this location being the second. There is a small free parking lot attached so we were able to find a parking spot right out front. Otherwise, it will be free street neighborhood parking. As mentioned, the staff was extremely polite and very apologetic once they realized they forgot our order, and they even comped our drinks, which I think really made up for it. We weren't in a time rush, but otherwise waiting for 50 minutes for a couple of breakfast orders was a bit extreme. We ordered an omelette which was very large and tasty and a Bacon Benedict, which I really enjoyed. The eggs were done perfectly and it had some great flavors. We also tried a Cinnamon Roll and it was honestly great. The only issue that we had was the very long wait time for food. Otherwise it was a very nice experience. I would give this place another try in the future and would suggest if you are in the Monrovia or Sierra Madre area.

Food is great but pricey. There were no seats inside so we sat on the patio and it was cold. We saw a customer leaving and we asked if we could move inside, the lady said yes at first but then said it was reserved. They seem to save the seats for their "regular" customers. Won't be returning. One waffle was $10

Both locations will always be my favorite breakfasts spots, but today at Monrovia Nano, I got the Monrovia Poutine! It was sooooo good. I asked them to take it off the specials and put it permanently on the regular menu! Staff is so nice here. They are always accommodating even with a large crowd. The waitress can remember everyone's orders and gets everything right! I love Nano!

Just had a delicious breakfast! Eggs florentine was prepared very tasty. Coffee was perfect. Service was probably the best from anywhere else! Our waitress Aneli served with a smile and was extremely cordial & helpful. Every restaurant should have an Aneli!

Nano Cafe is a small mom and pop spoon in Monrovia. They were open on a very early Black Friday morning, so we strolled in. The shop was decorated as you would expect in an old diner. You could tell that this was a family affair. The patrons and staff all called each other by name. We all chatted across the restaurant, which was nice. We even came back the next morning on our way out of town. Mr. P had the oatmeal one day, and biscuits and gravy the next. He enjoyed both. I had avocado toast one day with poached eggs, and the mushroom avocado Benedict the next. I wasn't a fan of the Hollandaise, which I have read on the interwebs to be a common sentiment. Otherwise, everything was great. So nice, we tried it twice! Next time we're out visiting family, we'll be back, for sure.

Nano Cafe serves breakfast and lunch. We came on a weekday morning and it was not busy. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere we like. The service was friendly and prompt. Bonus that it is kid friendly! There are high chairs and a changing station in the bathroom. The booth was perfect for putting an infant car seat and I think the patio seating would be great for strollers. French Toast Combo: my mom enjoyed her dish, it came with fluffy powdered French toasts (syrup and butter), 2x bacon, 2x sausage, 2 eggs. Eggs plus 2x Bacon 2x Sausage: my dad enjoyed his dish. He chose hash browns and biscuit as his sides. Eggs Benedict: standard eggs benedict with thin slices of ham. The English muffins were soggy and hollandaise sauce was okay. It came with crispy hash brown and a side of homemade salsa. Coffee: the coffee tasted okay, it was hot but tasted watered down. I appreciate the waitress constantly coming by to pour coffee. Tea: variety of tea bags and hot water. The dining area is pretty spacious and plenty of seatings inside in the main area and in the bar area in the back. There are also outdoor seatings. There is a parking lot in the back of the restaurant or street parking.

Cozy and busy well lit local fav with a very diverse menu everything that came out looked great the blueberry pancake was delish with fresh blueberry not that sugary blueberry compote the Lox looked great and our server was very friendly and so was the other wait staff it All in all this is a solid breakfast spot I will def be back

Spent the night here in the Arcadia/Monrovia area for the first time and of course we have to look for a new breakfast place. And so I started my yelp search. I started scrolling and found Nano cafe.. so glad we decided on this quaint little cafe. Their specialty menu features a variety of Korean dishes.. so of course we wanted to try the kimchi fried rice with sunny side up eggs.. it looked so good that I forgot to get a pic before downing it... delicious and flavorful.. after that, we ended breakfast with sourdough French toast.. we will definitely be back !! Service was awesome as well!!
