Millie’s Cafe looks and feels like nothing else in Silver Lake. Its neighbors are a luxury clothing store, a day spa, and an exercise studio for people who don’t want to sweat, yet Millie’s definitely hasn’t been updated since 1934. Their “dining room” is mostly a sidewalk cafe plus a few indoor tables, and everyone here is likely wearing sweats. You’ll see groups of friends recovering from rough nights out, couples cozied up, and plenty of regulars just reading a book. All of this on any day of the week, at any time. Millie’s is consistently busy, but it never turns into a scene. People come here for the perfect breakfast comfort food. Order the Devil’s Mess - it’s a huge omelette, filled with lots of cheese and sausage that is just the right amount of spicy. If you’re into benedicts, the one here’s pretty great too, a rare sight in the world of Silver Lake brunch.
