I heard this place had amazing food so I rounded up my friends to meet me in HB for brunch.
The menu looked amazing and I really wanted to try ALL of their pancakes but I’m more of a savory than sweet breakfast eater.
We started with coffee and they brought out a French press full of coffee. It was super strong but yummy!
I thought I ordered chilaquilles but apparently my mouth said Huevos rancheros. I was a bit surprised when my plate arrived but my friends guaranteed me that was what I ordered. Man was I glad I got the Huevos rancheros! I ordered it with red sauce. It was nice and spicy. I ordered my eggs scrambled since I don’t like runny eggs! It was perfect.
My friend DID order the chilaquilles and she loved them. Her mouth was on fire so she got a side of sour cream to cool it off. It made it perfect.
My other friend got an omelette and was happy with her decision.
Great little place. Fun vibe, great menu.
Noticed they also had mimosas and micheladas so we will definitely come back with our friends!

Great place for breakfast. The staff easily accommodated our group of eight. Food across the board was fantastic. Coffee was superb, although a french press carafe only serves app. 2.5 cups, so big coffee drinkers will need to order another if sharing. Two members of our party were celebrating birthdays so the staff brought out pancakes and ice cream with a candle on top to help us celebrate. Overall, a nice environment and friendly, accommodating staff. We would definitely go there again!

Came here with my family while spending time in Huntington Beach.
The service is off the hook, you can tell right away workers here love what they do and go the extra mile.
For me it was the French press coffee. The aroma and flavor of this coffee is very difficult to find.
Taste like cowboy coffee with out the grind, I absolutely love it!
The food is everything they say it is.
I absolutely recommend The Local Nod if you are looking for tasty food and great service.

My husband and I are on vacation and we wanted a good breakfast and coffee. We found this place on yelp. The staff were all super friendly, attentive and helpful. The vibe was vibing. And the food was SO good. I got the steak and eggs and was drooling over how good it was. The honey cinnamon latte is the best coffee I’ve ever had. We ended up coming back again the next day because we didn’t want to try somewhere new and not love it as much as The Local Nod. I got the avocado toast with my egg on the side & shared the French press coffee. Honestly could not recommend this place enough. I never leave reviews but it felt wrong not to after two flawless experiences!

My server, Amanda, was great! She helped me decide what to order, and provided excellent, cheerful service. I ordered a Vietnamese Coffee to start – it was strong and sweet, as it should be, and was served in a fun wide-bottom glass. My meal began with the Deviled Eggs, which were rich, creamy, and yummy. They were topped with little cubes of bacon that were a little too tough & chewy. The main event was the Loco Moco – I told Amanda that I recently had a Loco Moco elsewhere, and the patty was too dry. She assured me that I would enjoy their version. I didn’t mean to throw her a curveball when I asked for the patty well-done. To my delight, the kitchen delivered a delicious Loco Moco, with a well-done patty that was moist and tasty. It was served over rice with a savory gravy, as usual, but also with delicious caramelized onions, and two julienned pieces of Spam, an inspired addition. A very enjoyable brunch experience – I’ll be back again and again!

Came here on a Saturday around 1pm as my dog was getting groomed in the area. I ordered the pancake trio, a breakfast plate and a Vietnamese coffee. The pancake trio was great! And their bacon is amazing! The service was good, prices are fair and it wasn’t too crowded. I would definitely come back.

Went by The Local Nod Cafe today for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious The menu had so many options for breakfast and lunch options it was hard to choose between them So our friendly waitress was so helpful and attentive and gave us good suggestions. She has outstanding customer service and should be applauded for her work ethics and friendliness. My husband had a traditional breakfast 3 Eggs over medium, thick applewood bacon, delicious hash brown and a side of toast and I went for the Açaí breakfast bowl so delicious with a side of sausage. But couldn’t resist the Funfetti Pancakes and the bacon flight yummy Thank you for good food and great customer service we truly appreciate your service and will definitely be back again.

New restaurant, new vibe, Welcome….
The Nod Cafe!!
Overall, a pleasant and delicious experience. This will be the first of many times that I come back to this sweet spot. Started off with a bold French press coffee (x2). My friend scarfed on the Corn Beef Hash, I enjoyed the Big Belly Benny and hash browns. Corned beef was tasty & tender, my Benny tasted as good as it looked, pork belly w blueberry compote, come on! Everything was beautifully prepared and plated. Chad the Chef was personable and took the time to speak with us, nice! Already decided, next up will be the Chad Burger!! Nice to see Jacque made her rounds, but didn’t make it to our table. Maybe next time.
Overall A+
I’ll Be Back….Yummm!

Great place for breakfast with a modern menu. There was about a 30 minute wait to get a table for 2 at 9am on a Sunday. The service was friendly and the restaurant itself was cool with indoor and outdoor seating, a bright dining room with a large mural on the wall. We had the breakfast poutine and corned beef hash with a cafe latte. All of the food was good, but the corned beef hash was a little different than I’m used to with larger chunks of potatoes and beef. The poached eggs on top were perfect!
