This is a gem in Duarte. We had just come from a hike in Monrovia and had not had breakfast. We googled 5 top breakfast restaurants in our vicinity and J&A’S popped up. It was only 9 min from our location. When we arrived and walked in we were welcomed. We were seated immediately. The vibe in this place was welcoming and the staff were friendly and very attentive. Now the food, nice hot coffee, in house made salsas, fresh eggs, good bacon and sausage. My egg was made perfectly over medium. The pancakes were so fluffy they dissolved in my mouth sausage and bacon again perfectly done. Huevos Matador is a great dish eggs with serrano Chiles comes with refried beans and cheese, potatoes and chips. Absolutely flavor and delicious. I recommend this establishment our experience was wonderful. Please come and enjoy the nostalgic decor and share your experience with all of us. Shout out to the staff, the cook and the gentleman washing the dishes in the back by hand. The servers that make you feel welcomed when you walk through the door. We are coming back!

Wanted a quick breakfast restaurant to eat at with my brother and mother and found this little mom and pop’s place. It’s run down but full of soul. The food was yummy of comfy like you get for an older relative place. The
service was genuine and seemed like the owner. This place is a place to visit if you like to feel like you been going to a place for years.

I have recently just been coming to this little diner spot and has always been great until last weekend on Saturday the 27th, 2025. My husband and I ordered the same breakfast scrambled eggs, 2 pancakes, and bacon. The eggs honestly tasted like powdered eggs. There was no bite to the eggs at all. Just mush. The bacon was cold, dry, and absolutely overcooked ! Our breakfast was cold. I bet the bacon was pre-cooked in large amounts and just sits until ordered. I was so surprised and disappointed to say the least because these days going out is not affordable!

Wanted to try out this place after seeing the reviews and it wasn’t the business. It was like going to your grandma’s house that doesn’t even like you to eat bad food. ( the elderly lady owner gave those vibes didn’t greet and was bothered when asked for a bag) . The food wasn’t authentic Mexican tasted salty, greasy and the beans totally canned .
The only good part was the waitresses had good customer service.

My husband and I love waking up early for their breakfast. The atmosphere is adorable! It’s such a cute diner. When we drove by, we definitely did not expect it to be the way it was from the inside. The food is really good the service was nice

My wife got biscuits and gravy; biscuits were delicious, but the gravy is not your typical sausage gravy as you’d expect. It’s gravy that’s probably used on potatoes. I think had to been a traditional sausage gravy, both of us would have been over the moon.
I had a Denver Omelette with Hash Browns. Hash browns were amazing; perfectly cooked, and crispy, with flavor. They have have the gold standard for perfectly cooked hash browns. Omelette was amazing.
I will be back. Can’t wait to try this place for lunch.

As soon as you walk in, you can tell this a place where locals go. Hostess was friendly. Service was quick. An important thing to keep in mind as that they only take cash, no cards.

We travel between LA and Palm Springs every week or two. We always stop at J&A for a delicious breakfast with great staff, they are ON IT! We’ve tried 25-30 breakfast spots along hwy 210 and J&A keeps us coming back.
I love the veggie omelet (never order it elsewhere as that is not my usual go to). The three homemade salsas with my eggs, yum, I crave it.
Not a chain, has hometown charm with locals abound, cash only…..really a gem. So glad we found you!
