The 10 Best Brunches In Culver City, Los Angeles

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 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.

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.

Brunch at the Overland Caféis 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.

Inspired by the famous Rush Street of Chicago, Rust Street is a multi-level building hosting a restaurant, bar, and lounge, fit for any meal — but try to catch the extensive and delicious brunch menu. The menu rotates seasonally, while still offering classics like pancakes, custom-made omelets, and breakfast burritos, stuffed with eggs, bacon, tater tots, and avocado. Enjoy them alongside a custom bloody Mary from the build-your-own bloody Mary bar.
