The Benediction

John Lopez

Enjoyed a nice breakfast, Santa Bacon Benedict with Mexican Mocha. The Benedict was delicious; the mocha, simply amazing! Esther, our server, was friendly and attentive. The place wasn’t busy upon arrival but packed when I left. Overall, a good experience!

Let me paint the scene: me, my family, 12 of us deep, two babies in tow, all hungry and definitely a little chaotic. We walk into The Benediction, and instead of getting side eyes or “Sorry, we’re full,” we get straight up hospitality magic. This place didn’t just seat us. They made it feel like we belonged there. The woman (pretty sure she was the manager) didn’t flinch when she saw our crew. She offered us options, rearranged tables like a brunch ninja, and literally swapped out a two person table for a four person table mid meal when she saw we needed space. Who does that? She made sure everyone was comfy and that alone deserves five stars before we even talk food. But oh, let’s talk food. So What Should You Eat at The Benediction? Here’s the move: • Filet Mignon Bearnaise Benedict: Tender steak meets rich sauce on a brunch plate built like a dream. I didn’t know I needed filet mignon for breakfast, but now I refuse to go back. • Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast: Sweet, indulgent, and every bit as insane as it sounds. It’s dessert for breakfast without the guilt. • Perfect Avocado Toast: The name says it all. Crunchy, creamy, seasoned like it actually matters, this isn’t your average millennial cliché. The coffee? Bold and smooth, the kind that makes you feel like the day’s already off to a good start. Add a light breeze from the outdoor seating and boom, you’re vibing. Is It Good for Families? Big Groups? Actual Humans? Yes, yes, and yes. We had our infants with us and not once did it feel like a hassle. The vibe was laid back, the service was top tier, and somehow, even with kids, we felt relaxed. That’s rare. The Benediction knows how to make brunch feel like a moment, not just a meal. Pro Tips Before You Roll In: • Show up early if you’ve got a crew. They’ll take care of you, but help them help you. • Share everything. I mean it. This menu is built for passing plates and trying bites. • Sit outside if the weather’s right. It levels up the whole experience. Final Word: If you’re anywhere near City of Industry and you haven’t hit up The Benediction, fix that immediately. It’s brunch with heart, flavor that actually hits, and service that makes you want to hug someone. We’re already planning our next visit. You should too.

Our family from Lake Oswego Oregon were here visiting and the first thing they asked "We are hungry and would love to visit somewhere we've never been" I said I have the right place. Another great hit, the service was great our waitress kept our glasses full (coffee ☕☕) and the food was excellent. They kept saying "We need a place like this back home" everyone who couldn't finished took their meals to our house for lunch or breakfast. We will return again to our favorite place. I don't remember our waitress name she was outstanding with our party of six

The food here was delicious. The wait staff was polite and helpful. Seating was fast and our food was out quickly. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available. They also seem to be pet friendly since I saw a customer with their dog in the outdoor seating area.

Did not disappoint. The Benedicts, like it namesakes, love up to it name. Although the dishes were smaller then we were hoping, compared to the other price, but the flavor more then makes up for it. Especially the hash brown chips The service was also great

*Location Used to be Panera Waitlist recommended *Used web waitlist option for 10:30am table at 10:15am. Party must all be present to be seated. Ambiance/Service/Food Welcoming ambiance. Buzzing with activity with servers busy attending to customers when we arrived. Walked up to podium to mention waitlist at 10:32am and was seated immediately by Christian at 10:35am. Outside patio was awesome in our perfect 69 degree SoCal weather. Food: This by far was the best part of this visit, as it should. Kudos to the people preparing food in the kitchen. Party of 3, came to have an Al Fresco Brunch Dining experience. Left with happy tummies, smiles on our faces and feeling of having had an awesome family brunch, just as we had imagined. Denver Omelette/$19/ Ham, onion, bell roper, Cremini mushrooms, sharp cheddar cheese + choice of side fruits *perfect blend of vegetables with right balance of firm outside/perfectly cooked soft (not too dry) inside this omelette. *Side of Fruits too small though Bacon Avocado Benedict/$22/Hardwood smoked bacon (strips), avocado mash + choice of side Hash Brown Chips *Eggs cooked to perfection with hollandaise sauce and slight sprinkle of paprika. Hash browns fun to eat with the crunch like mini fries. Kid loved it. House Benedict /$22/ Hickory smoked shoulder bacon, avocado mash + choice of sides Country Potatoes (with red and green bell pepper strips and onions) *Came for the eggs really. Video says it all. Avocado mash was so fresh with its light green color complementing the richness of the ham on slightly toasted muffins. Just magnificent simple brunch meal. *Ordered Lavender latte with Oat milk- divine! At the end of our meal, we noticed the manager, Susie, working hard to get everyone seated as fast as the tables can be turned. She was very meticulous with the timing and organization of the flow of people starting to flood in. She even helped disinfect tables in the patio dining area to help with traffic flow efficiency. I approached her before leaving and told her what a wonderful experience we’ve had on this first visit. She smiled, thanked me for the gesture and went on with cleaning more tables. This is a great example of how managers should be. Her service is A+, no condescension on directing her team. Awesome professionalism and dedication to work and teamwork that her staff all clearly emulates. Well done Susie and team. We will be back for sure.

First, make sure to make reservations. There was definitely a long wait. Service was okay. The server got my order wrong multiple times, but did give us the incorrect order for free. Also, he was nice about it and we all still had a good time. Environment was great. Enjoyed sitting outside and there was plenty of distance from everyone during covid. Food was amazing. Everyone loved what they got and all of looked so good. Pictures attached. Recommendation: if you want try their flavors of mimosas, get a flight. If you want more quantity, get the larger mimosa size lime everyone else stated. Definitely recommend this place and will go back!

Their Benedicts are the perfect size - not too small, not too huge lol I got a caesar salad as a side and it was really good. Jonathan was the one serving us

Went on a Sunday morning at 10:30 am and it was not crazy busy. Waited 10 mins to get seated. Server was very nice and the food was great. I love the shoulder bacon and their Mexican mocha. Definitely recommend this place!

We finally had an opportunity to eat here, and it was ok overall. Food: we went with the house and surf n turf eggs Benedict (EB) and the chocolate chip pancake (for our son). The house EB was the better of the two and was enjoyable. The surf was good, but the turf was blan and could have been more flavorful. My gripe for the EB's was that the vinegar flavor was too strong on the poached egg. It added a sourness that was off-putting. My son had no complaints about his pancake. The lavender lattes were tasty but not worth the price tag for the amount you get. Service: it was great. Our server was nice and courteous; I can't complain. This was probably the best part of the overall experience with our dine in experience. Atmosphere: it was ok. It needed some work but nothing to truly knock it for. Overall: i am glad we came and tried it. I would not go out of my way for it, but if I returned, I would order the House EB for sure.

Good brunch spot in San Gabriel Valley 🥂🍾🍹🍳🥓 Tried their Surf & Turf, Classic breakfast, Arugula salad, Peach Mimosa & Bloody Mary; everything was tasty and generously served. My only complaint was that my mimosa was room temperature; they were very nice and changed it out. I'll definitely be back to try more eggs benny

I love eggs benedict so I had to try this place. The staff is friendly. We sat outside and I do kind of wish they came around a little more for water refills but overall they were good. We tried a flight of mimosas and we didn't like any of them. I believe it was blueberry, grapefruit mint, and peach flavors. We didn't finish them. I ordered the extreme surf and turf and that was delicious. The steak and lobster tasted great and there was a good amount of both. One of my eggs weren't runny though and that's so key to a Benedict. My wife got a mushroom Benedict and that was okay. She wished she ordered something else. We both definitely want to come back and try other items.

This was my first time here. The atmosphere was really chill, and the service was great. We went during brunch hours, and I ordered their Unicorn drink (tea & lemonade), the Strawberry Cheesecake French toast and the fried green tomatoes. Everything was good, however, for me, the cheesecake topping was a bit too rich in taste and the fried green tomatoes weren't as great as their southern counterparts. 😅 All in all, I would definitely return.

Breakfast is good here a little pricey 20 plus per meal minimum . The only reason I gave 2 stars for service wasnt the waiter but the manager made us feel unwelcomed after finishing our meal we were just talking and enjoying our conversation when she basically came up and asked us are you guys done or is there anything else you need as if we were disturbing her business by sitting there and talking not once but twice she wasnt rude about it but definitely gave the vibes like you ate now get out of here ..so I most likely wont be returning here again .

First thing off the bat, this place is expensive. The main perk they have in terms of the food is that it is Instagram place that people would post. The food itself was alright, but given the price I would've expected slightly better and/or a bigger portion than what was served. The egg Benedict was good, with the yolk not overcooked, but the hollandaise sauce could do more work. Note that the prices online and in the store are completely different, with the in store being vastly more expensive. The service I got here was a mixed bag, on one hand the servers are attentive enough when you want to call them, but there are some decisions that were puzzling. Seating a table if three but only providing 2 water is a very interesting choice. Asked for a spoon for the hot chocolate since it was cream on top, and was provide a plastic spoon, when dining in a location that should be about presentations. Overall, this place isn't bad to try once, but I've had better "brunch" style food nearby.

Finally got the opportunity to try this place out. The restaurant is very nice. Everyone is very friendly, however they are horrible when it comes to the service. I feel like they need to hire a lot more servers for the amount of customers that they have. We ordered coffee and I could see it getting cold in the bar while our waitress got it for us. It was just sitting there for over 5 min. By the time we got it was cold and on top of that, it was overly sweet. The food is ok, nothing special and a little overpriced.

Interesting, my review has been deleted from 2 months ago. Location was pretty easy to locate. In a nice shopping area. We were celebrating my birthday brunch after our previous engagement we had that morning, so we absolutely missed our 12:30pm reservation. I called at 11:35am to try to move it to 1:00pm or 1:15pm. No one answered. I then joined the Yelp waitlist to see if I could join that way, that wasn't even considered, as told by the staff. Little did I know my girlfriend who made the reservation was calling as well at 10:30am to see if she could move our reservation. The staff checking in was not friendly. They didn't seem to care that there was like 5-6 different groups waiting. No one wanted to sit outside due to the weather being chilly so yeah, we understand there would be a wait. We then got skipped and a group atter us, waiting outside as well, got called before us, same number of people in our group. The service was not spectacular and just was pretty disappointing. Our waiter was really nice. There was a moment when he forgot about us. Luckily our food came out for us to eat. The Benedict I had was delicious. I tried the potatoes my friend chose for her plate, those were better than the fries with the Benny. We then waited for the French toast which was “specially made” according to our waiter. It was good but I think by the time they came out, we just were over it. We were only able to split the check 2 ways, which wasn't a problem. The restroom was well maintained. I had sticky syrup from the French toast, that I had to grab myself from the condiments table and had to wash my hands. So far, was not impressed and I can see why the door rating is a B.

Food was lackluster. Ordered the French toast and egg Benedict with smoke salmon. French toast was average strawberry was sour and not much cheesecake flavor Egg Benedict was terrible . Salmon tastes not fresh with overwhelming raw onion flavor. Latte was very bland lack bold espresso flavor It’s sad to see such brunch spot that’s been open for so long have such terrible quality food

This place is absolutely disgusting. The last time I was here in person the cups were soo dirty and had pieces of dried food stuck on them. Few months had passed so I thought I’d give them another chance by ordering some take out from them. What I received has left me horrified. I’m holding back puking as I’m typing this. I’ll let the photos do the talking.

Food was mid, service was good, but still had few items missing from my order, food taste like a kid cooked it, would I come back ? Absolutely not, waste of money.
