"Echo Park's Brite Spot has a new owner, reports the Eastsider. The longtime diner is now under the control of daytime chain Breakfast Republic, which is based out of San Diego but has a dozen locations in the state, including several in greater Los Angeles. L.A. Taco reports that the company is currently renovating the space, but has not revealed final details or an opening date." - Farley Elliott

"The move to open in Echo Park also comes at a conspicuous time for the community as a whole there, given all the recent changes to the neighborhood. Longtime local diner Brite Spot sports a new look under the watchful eye of the local husband and wife duo from Ostrich Farm." - Farley Elliott

"Fans of longtime Echo Park diner the Brite Spot were heartened to hear of its robust return last year under new, local ownership. The classic diner had suffered from a slowdown in service hours and a more limited menu in recent years, but now is heading back towards the glory days of its 61-year lifespan, including late night weekend hours and lots of pie." - Farley Elliott

Brite Spot is a historical diner on Sunset blvd in EchoPark area. Interior atmosphere is very cool, nice and relaxing. Indoor design is very chic and classy. I sat at the bar and its bar stools are comfortable and sturdy. Table is prefectly leveled in height. Outdoor seating faces Sunset blvd and of med-large in size. I ordered Breakfast burrito; it lacked some substance and taste. Also, I think it's too mushy and the cheese on top is not completely melted. But their coffee taste good. Menu prices are a little over priced in my opinion. Service was okay but needs to be improved. Staff are nice, attentive, friendly and competent. Parking is very small and has ~8 car maximum capacity. Metered street parking is available. Overall, I wasn't completely satisfied with my breakfast. Clearly I had high expectation for Brite Spot but was let down.

Generally I do not like pancakes, but I thoroughly enjoy Brite Spot's every time I stop by. The decor of the restaurant makes customers feel cozy, along with the friendly, attentive staff and good food. I always have a good time here, and definitely recommend it (especially for breakfast).

Very happy to be back after so long! Food was excellent, generous portions. In fact my wife said this is her new go to place for pancakes in LA, and we got to lots of diners!

Delicious!! I got the beet salad and it was soo tasty! My daughter got the French Toast, strawberry milkshake and the skillet cookie and she loved it. The skillet cookie is a must have! Our Server Michael was awesome!

I like this place a lot, but it isn't without it's faults. Location is great, and the food is good but the eggs they just couldn't get right. Smacked on a street corner in Silver Lake surrounded by a lot of other great places, making this a perfect location. The restaurant is small and not too busy through the week when I went but guaranteed to fill up during busy brunch trips on the weekends. The food is an array of choices from vegan and vegetarian to somewhat vague renditions of southern faire. Unfortunately being from the south is a curse. The Southern Decadence came with a hard biscuit and plain gravy but the fried chicken breast had all the flavor. There was the Fried Green Tomato Benedict that, while good in theory, just didn't come through. Egg was over cooked and not runny, greens weren't what we expected and the biscuit was hard. On a different occasion I had the corned beef hash where again I was slightly disappointed. The hash was basically just sliced corn beef and home fries but it tasted SO good. Flavor won, but again the over medium eggs was cooked harder than hard. Possibly stick with sunnyside and see how it turns out? All in all I enjoyed it but it didn't knock my socks off. I'm sure I'll be back though.

INCREDIBLE and delicious food. Will come back every time I’m in LA. Just look at this avocado toast. Can you believe it? That’s goat cheese and bacon. It’s amazing. Service is slow but everyone that works there is so sweet it doesn’t even matter.

I've been coming here with my mother and brothers since I was a toddler. It's really sad that all my childhood memories are slowly being removed from Echo Park but I am really glad that Brite Spot has been able to remain open and still able to make fantastic dishes and pies for a reasonable price. I highly recommend getting tater tots instead of hash browns and grab a slice of pie on your way out. Also, chose to eat outside so you can people watch on Sunset. Support this classic eatery!

Stopped by here for breakfast while visiting my uncle in East LA and the food was great! Being from New York we have high breakfast standards and the egg sandwich on sourdough toast was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely recommend stop in, the wait was super quick and the service was great too
