Akasha

Located in downtown Culver City, Akasha serves California and New American cuisine with a menu that changes seasonally, reflecting the use of local, organic, and sustainable ingredients. Brunch is offered Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30am to 2:30pm, served in Akasha’s modern-styled dining room. There’s something for everyone on the menu, from the breakfast burrito to the smoked salmon platters to the kids’ menu that offers the basics, like French toast and chocolate chip pancakes.

Metro Café sits in simple and modern glory next to the Travelodge Hotel in Culver City. This small cafe gets busy during prime hours and boasts a menu that packs a punch. The Sautéed Banana House Pancakes are among the more popular dishes; sautéed bananas between pancake layers, dusted with powdered sugar — a dish sweet enough on its own that no syrup is necessary. If sweets don’t satisfy you, then try the Serbian Americana scramble – scrambled eggs with bacon, cured meats, and fresh mozzarella.

Café Laurent

Café Laurent feels like a piece of France in Culver City, offering live music on its outdoor patio on the weekends and serving a variety of French-inspired options. Crêpe fans can choose the savory taste of La Parisienne crêpes (filled with Swiss cheese, ham, and a sunny-side-up egg) or the sweetness of the La Carnaval crêpe (with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella). The patio is dog friendly, so even the puppy can come along for brunch.

Copenhagen Pastry

For a bite on the go, stop by Copenhagen Pastry. Copenhagen offers authentic Danish pastries reminiscent of the owner’s childhood spent in Denmark. The Kringles (pastry filled with almond paste and custard and topped with thin-sliced almonds and sugar) and the Copenhagens (a flaky pastry with yellow custard in the middle) are popular choices. Paired with coffee or tea, they make a perfect to-go meal that won’t hurt the wallet.

East Borough

For those who like less traditional brunches, stop by East Borough for Vietnamese street food–inspired meals. Popular dishes include the banh xeo (a Vietnamese crêpe with crab, mushrooms, and bean sprouts) and the belly and egg, which combines pork belly and a poached egg, marinated in house chili sauce and served with jasmine rice. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday, from 10am until 3pm.

S&W Country Diner

The S&W Country Diner serves country cooking — ‘comfort food,’ for the more casual diners. Its old fashioned decor lends to its 50s diner vibe, and its simple façade mimics the simplicity of its menu. For true country-style cooking, try the homemade corned beef hash, served with eggs and a choice of breakfast side. Hit up an ATM before arriving — the S & W Country diner only accepts cash.

Public School 310

Public School 310 offers ‘an education in the art of food and beer.’ An education-themed dining experience, happy hour is called ‘Recess’ and ‘Night school’ offers classes on beer pairing and cocktail tastings. For brunch, the menu is seasonal, serving local food on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30am to 2:30 pm. The chicken and waffles, with bacon gravy, maple syrup, and a fried egg, is a popular dish. Learning never tasted so good.

Overland Café

Brunch at the Overland Café is served Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 3:30pm, and its claim to fame is its bottomless mimosa deal – bottomless mimosas with any order of a regular brunch entrée. The brunch entrée menu is egg heavy, offering simple pairs of eggs and sausages or fancier eggs Benedict with Maryland crab cakes. Be prepared to wait a bit, as the place can get busy during peak brunch hours.
