My wife and I visited here 5/13/22 for breakfast since we were only in Cali for a day. While I was eating the French toast I notice that the middle of the bread was soft. Thought nothing of it til my stomach started feeling funny 2 hours later. Long story short I was on the toilet and throwing up that whole day. Mind you, it was breakfast so that was the first thing I ate. My wife even said that the French toast wasn’t cooked all the way. It had gotten so bad, in was in and out of sleep waiting up in cold sweats. Didn’t have an appetite at all. But to say the least, I won’t be eating here anymore.

ate outdoors on the patio, cozy atmosphere. service was fabulous and the food was good. small portions for the price, but hey its LA ordering at the counter then waiting on the food was a bit off when they ask for the tip at payment before food arrives, but otherwise a sweet little spot.

I really wanted to love Fratelli cafe, in theory it should have been the perfect breakfast/lunch spot for us on a recent trip - but it just seemed to fall short. Food was just OK - the French toast was kinda a mess and the chilaquiles were just OK. Service was insanely rushed to the point of being uncomfortable - it just felt like everyone working there was bothered to have customers. Parking in the area was also a nightmare. I had to walk about 5 blocks and hope the entire meal that my car wouldn’t be towed. I’m not sure I would return.

Wonderful atmosphere.Brunch was phenomenal.Fantastic Eggs Benny and perfect Belgian waffles!Service is incredibly fast for such a busy place!

Great vibe and the food was out quick and was delicious. Initially rated it a 4/5, but our server just took it to the next level. Absolutely amazing human. Thank you!

Good breakfast / coffee shop. The standard egg croissant sandwich was good. The chicken and waffles were good. The French toast was great. Coffee was good. Service was good and fast. Price was a little high. COVID precautions were a little over the top.

Busy spot I recommend checking in on the Yelp app to be put in place! Make sure to check in with the host when you arrive. Proof of vac is needed to sit inside or patio is available for non vac which is nice on a beautiful day vac or not! Food was really good! I loved how everything was scrambled in the egg for the omelet. Staff were friendly and fast service. You get your seat then have to order inside.

This place is nice. It has a nice location and a nice interior inside. The host was nice and we were sat quick. You have to order at the kiosk. The food is good but to be honest, I was expected more. In the photos, all food looks so delicious, it was just okay. The other thing that I noticed was dust. Right above the table where my boyfriend and I sat, there were two bikes on the wall. The wheels were covered in dust. I do not think that dust is supposed to be in the restaurant where people eat.

The food was EXCELLENT! I ordered the filet mignon omelette and it was exquisite. We went around 9:45 and wasn't busy, but at 10 there was a lot a people! I'm putting 4 stars because I didn't like my coffee, my wife neither... We ordered the white chocolate Mocca and caramel Mocca..the flavor were bad..at least for us. But the service and the food 10/10
