  • La Torta in downtown Fresno serves breakfast menu items during weekday hours.

  • Lety’s serves breakfast all day on Saturdays, but ends it at 11 a.m. weekdays.

Breakfast doesn’t have to be confined to mornings.

In the Central Valley, several restaurant owners serve it at all hours of the day. And we’re not talking obvious places like IHOP or Denny’s.

Here’s five locally-owned unexpected places to find all-day breakfast in Fresno and Clovis:

Seven Cafe & Grill

Clovis’s Seven Cafe & Grill gives customers a plethora of choices when it comes to breakfast — whenever they want to have it. It focuses more on American-style cuisine, with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, sausage links and other options, but also pulls in French toast, Belgian waffles and skillets.

Jay Parker, a server and bartender who has been with the restaurant for 11 years, says the breakfast menu is popular, with steak and eggs a perennial favorite.

He says all-day breakfast sets Seven apart from other eateries, and that some people are surprised when they can still order breakfast later in the day.

“It’s not a common choice among restaurants these days,” Parker said.

Seven Cafe & Grill is open seven days a week, from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Yosemite Falls Cafe

All-day breakfast has been part of the menu at Yosemite Falls Cafe since it opened 21 years ago, and it’s a category the restaurant takes seriously.

It has ‘traditional’ breakfasts, served with three smaller pancakes and a choice of hashbrowns or country potatoes (or other sides, upon request), but it also has breakfast favorites, which includes biscuits and gravy, omelets and Mexican dishes, such as carne asada and eggs.

There’s also a ‘hiker’s choice’ combo: Customers can pick one entree, such as a Belgian waffle, cinnamon roll French toast or four pancakes, and one side, such as three strips of bacon or three country sausage patties.

“Our menu is very open,” said Joseph Perales, the general manager of the recently-reopened Yosemite Falls Cafe on Blackstone Ave. “There’s always something for everybody.”

Yosemite Falls Cafe has two locations: the Fresno location at 5123 N. Blackstone Ave., as well as one in Clovis at 1455 Shaw Ave. Hours differ by day and location.

La Torta

Elsa Noris, the owner of La Torta in The Galleria in downtown Fresno, has been operating her restaurant for the past 26 years. She serves traditional Mexican food, including an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, but people can also order from the breakfast menu, which include American-style options, Colorado omelet or ham and eggs, and Mexican tastes, chilaquiles or huevos con chile verde.

“If you have no time to have breakfast, there’s no reason to put a limit on it,” Noris said.

La Torta is open weekdays from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m at 2405 Capitol Street, Ste. 106.

YAVA Bakery & Cafe

YAVA Bakery & Cafe at 7775 N. Palm Ave Ste. #101 in Fresno is a Mediterranean and French bakery and cafe, serving breakfast all day inspired by both cuisines. Some menu items include shakshouka, a dish where fried eggs are served in tomato sauce with homemade Moroccan harissa, and Saraya French toast, which is brioche toast dipped in caramelized brown sugar and rose water, served with eshta (Arabic-style clotted cream), syrup and strawberries.

Lety’s

Lety’s, an authentic Mexican restaurant with three locations in Fresno, has a regular breakfast menu, but Monday through Friday, the breakfast menu ends at 11 a.m.

On Saturdays, the breakfast goes all day.

All breakfast items are served with fried potatoes, beans and tortillas. Featured items include machaca, chorizo and nopales, but also an 8 oz. pork chop with two eggs.
