Martha's

Martha's never disappoints! I moved out of the South Bay two years ago and was recently in town to visit family and friends. We had a group of 7 people on a Sunday and they didn't hesitate to put a beautiful table together for us on the patio quickly. The service was fantastic and food was so delicious. Our friends said they couldn't wait to return. Thank you for being a continued staple in the South Bay!

Cinnamon roll pancake - OMG 100/10 First of all, this pancake alone will have you in a chokehold. It's soooooo good. The crispy caramelization of the sugar and the cinnamon around the edges is just Elite. They top it off with a little glaze over it that makes perfection. I believe her name was Katie--unless it's Kate, I'm not entirely sure. Management, please acknowledge this wonderful employee! She was such a delight, and her energy and enthusiasm made our brunch even better. Katie, you are the JAM! (Haha, inside joke.) Thank you for being awesome! She was just as thrilled to work there as we were to eat. The restaurant itself is a charming local favorite with an outdoor setting featuring patio umbrellas, just steps away from the beach. What more could you ask for? It's beautiful inside, with big windows that let in plenty of sunlight.This place tends to get packed on weekends, and parking can be tricky, so plan accordingly.Overall: 5 (Thank you Katie!)

Came for Valentine's Day brunch, and the service was not good. For some reason, the server asked every party except us if we wanted to sit indoors or outdoors. Then we were led to a dirty table with a blueberry and some hashbrowns laying there. It should be the bare minimum to clean tables!! As for the food, stuffed french toast was really good and not super sweet. The eggs hermosa was nothing special - felt like it could be made at home. They just lightly toasted the english muffin, threw on a handful of raw spinach, put a sliced tomato with some salt, slightly fried the canadian bacon, and topped it off with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise sauce was very runny/watered down - not good. I asked for extra crispy hashbrowns, and it was yummy. Overall, I don't think I will come back.

I was so excited for our Valentine's Day Brunch at Martha's. It is a solid choice for brunch in Hermosa Beach, with great service and a welcoming atmosphere. On a breezy morning, we enjoyed sitting outside and the sun warmed us up. We split the Spanish latte, lobster benedict, and stuffed French toast.The lobster benedict was more of a tomato, spinach, and avocado benedict with a sprinkling of lobster. I think I accidentally ate all there was in the first few bites without realizing it so kept expecting to find more and never did. For the price, I expected more seafood flavor and actual lobster meat. It comes with some roasted potatoes and grilled veggies which is a nice side. The stuffed french toast was the star of the show - abundant fresh blueberries and strawberries with delicious bread and cream cheese stuffing. The Spanish latte was delicious, but unfortunately, it arrived with my food, so it cooled down before I could enjoy it. Ended up pouring it over ice for an impromptu iced latte to-go.Despite these small hiccups, the flavors were great, and the service was excellent. Just a little pricey for what you get, especially when ordering something with lobster. Still, a great spot if you're in the area!

We came on a Friday morning. We were able to sit inside right away and the host was very friendly. Our server was another story. Not very friendly at all and when my friend asked for her eggs medium well because she didn't want the yolks runny he made a face and said that's called medium. well it wasn't because her eggs were still runny but she just ate them anyway. Asked for the hashbrowns crispy didn't get them that way and over all the food was OK it was just two eggs bacon hashbrowns and toast. I guess the best part was the toast so that's not saying much. A large fresh squeeze orange juice with eight dollars and bitter but it's always a crapshoot with oranges so I just dtank it.I also ordered a cilantro chicken soup to take home to my husband and neither one of us could eat it as it was terrible. No seasoning and no flavor and also no chicken. I know people love this place and I wanted to love it too especially since I was bringing my friend from out of town but there are much better options around although I doubt you could beat the location! It was nice to go walking along the Strand afterwards .

Martha's was recommended by a friend who grew up in South Bay. It's a casual yet lively place known for brunch and it's on the beach so be prepared to wait especially if you go on a weekend. Not surprisingly it was packed on a beautiful Sunday morning and the line never stopped the entire time we were there. We were lucky enough to find a spot inside at the counter which is on a first come first serve basis. Despite being busy, the service was still pretty good. The menu has lots of great options for breakfast and lunch. Think East coast diner with a California flair. Very vegetarian friendly as well. I opted for a grain bowl - made with quinoa, greens, cucumber, tomato, and avocado. Added tofu and yes to the fried egg on top. My friend ordered an omelette with potatoes and we both had lattes. Extremely generous portions so come hungry or take the rest home. The food was excellent. I see why it's so busy and locally recommended.

Came at 10am on Sunday and this place is packed. That said, we didn't have to wait too long and it seems like they're very efficient at handling the crowd/ wait. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was pretty good (much better than a lot, but not top tier). Not enough places include crispy hash browns in breakfast burritos anymore so definitely appreciated that they used extra crispy potatoes in their burrito. My wife got the eggs/ hash browns and enjoyed her meal too + latte. Service was also decent, although I did need water at the end, but not a huge deal. All in all, a pretty solid meal for the price.

Chill, popular local spot that's good for brunch. They don't take reservations so if you have a large party, I'd suggest coming here early. The outdoor seating isn't really shaded so I'd also suggest wearing a hat and sunglasses if you plan to sit outside. Had the white corn scramble (vegetarian friendly) and a matcha latte. The food was filling and came with your choice of bread. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs plate, and he finished his plate. They do accept credit cards. It is kid-friendly. Our waitress was friendly and very personable. I've heard other people recommend the breakfast burrito so if you're a fan of meat, then I would suggest trying that.

Classic breakfast spot with all the fan favorites. Eggs any style, pancakes, sandwiches, salads and curly fries! Not a lot of places serve curly fries. I'm always exited to find a place that serves them. Service is friendly and inviting. We came for lunch during the week. It was busy but no wait for a table. Weekends are expected to be busier.The patio has ocean views. I recommend strolling down to the beach after (or before). It's so beautiful.

We went on a Sunday and it was pretty packed but we opted for the first available seating and got seated fast. It was a two person table with an extra chair pulled for a party of three but it was doable. It definitely gives that local hangout vibe. The food was a bit of a let down as it didn't have much flavor or the pancakes were pretty dry. It was nice since the beach was right there and we got to take a nice walk after along the beach pathway.
