Little Billy Saves Breakfast

Tucked discreetly off PCH and Riverside Drive, Little Billy’s is a hidden gem in Newport Beach. This cozy eatery effortlessly bridges breakfast and lunch with a menu that leans on fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Open until 2:30 PM, they serve elevated classics like breakfast burritos, bowls, and sandwiches that feel simple yet refined.

One standout is their use of local Dry Goods bread, known for its exceptional sourdough and baked goods, lending a premium touch to their sandwiches and toast. Drinks are kept straightforward—soda, coffee, and no alcohol—perfect for a low-key, satisfying start to your day.

The vibe is bright and welcoming, with a small, airy dining area adorned by a striking mural. Despite its compact size, the ambience feels open and inviting. Their merchandise, including hats and T-shirts, is a hit—described by friends as the best restaurant merch they’ve seen.

During our visit, the staff’s hospitality stood out. They treated us to a complimentary pancake as they were closing—just one example of the genuine care they put into every guest’s experience. The only drawback? Limited seating. It’s the kind of place that could quickly fill up as word gets out, so plan your visit wisely.

As for the food, it’s top-notch across the board. The chicken club sandwich might just be the best we’ve ever had—perfectly balanced, fresh, and flavorful. The chicken fried rice bowl, breakfast burrito, avocado toast, and those unforgettable pancakes (a hint of buttermilk and cinnamon, fluffy yet not overly rich) all left a lasting impression.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or lingering over a late breakfast, Little Billy’s is a must-visit for anyone seeking high-quality, elevated comfort food in Newport Beach.
