Best Brunch Spots in Redondo Beach

I lived in Hermosa Beach for several years, back in the day….& neighboring Redondo Beach reminds me of where I grew up: San Clemente.  Life is a little slower-paced in Redondo than in other South Bay cities; at heart, it’s a relaxed, beach city with mellow vibes.  And its coastline & boardwalk, with views towards the ritzy Palos Verdes Peninsula, are stunning.  But there are also good breakfast spots here!  In this article, we’ll list some of the “Best Brunch Spots in Redondo Beach,” with short descriptions of each & photos.

Redondo Beach has gorgeous views towards the Palos Verdes Peninsula, & a more mellow vibe than neighboring Hermosa.

Most of the breakfast spots listed here are pretty casual, much like Redondo itself. For a few more upscale options, read my article on great brunch spots in neighboring Manhattan Beach.

1. Baleen Kitchen = Classy Oceanview Restaurant in Portofino Hotel Serving Breakfast Daily.  If you’re looking for a “bougie” breakfast in Redondo with harbor views: head here!

2. Cozy Cafe = Unpretentious Local’s Breakfast Spot. There’s nothin’ fancy here: from the unfussy exterior to the diner vibes inside. Food is also really straightforward ~ order a French Toast special, Pork Chops & Eggs, or a Beach Bum Scramble.  Hours: 6:30AM-2PM DAILY.
3. Good Stuff Redondo Beach = South Bay Chain Known for Surfer Vibes + Healthy Fare + Mimosas.  They’ve got 4 locations in the South Bay (also in Hermosa), & have reliably good food ~ including vegan options.

4. Phanny’s = Popular Spot for Quick Breakfast Burritos!  They’ve got every kind of breakfast burrito you could possibly want ~ Bacon, Ham, Sausage, Carne Asada, Chorizo….& the list goes on!
