Basil & Cheese Cafe - Best of both worlds. Aroma bagel sandwich and machaca burrito....heaven . - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Lunch adventures in DTLA led me to the Korean BBQ bowl here. The price and portion were both pretty decent, and I loved how generous they were with the beef. Honestly, it made me curious to come back and try their sandwiches next time. It's a cute little corner cafe, perfect for a quick bite. Service was fast, though the place wasn't too busy when I stopped by. Overall, a solid spot for a casual lunch. read more

Real good coffee. Chorizo burrito bang on. Smoked turkey bagel was good. Cute art on the walls added some nice charm, too.

On errand to DTLA to hem some pants, wow Cardamom Latte is top tier, smooth, with subtle not to sweet, elegant flavor. Ok and best cinnamon role muffin, my goodness, yummy too, middle, and bottom, not kidding, best made I've ever had. read more

Took way too long to get our food, it almost felt as if they completely forgot about our order. We ordered two burritos & and omelette. The establishment was full, but for what they were serving I don't believe it should've taken 30 min to get our food It was hard to find seating as well since they were so busy. The food was alright, definitely lacking flavor, maybe more salt would help?? It's a good place if you want basic food and maybe a healthier option than other places. Would not go back read more

At first I was a bit hesitant walking in since it was empty. I ordered the Chorizo breakfast burrito and a cappuccino. We walked about 20 minutes to get here, and it was absolutely worth it. This was some of the best breakfast I've had in LA and the price was unbeatable. We arrived just in time because the place was packed by the time we finished. read more

3.5 stars. Got the provolone spinach mushroom omelet and my friend got the Korean beef bowl. I also asked for a side of burrata for my omelet. Everything was a-ok. The burrata wasn't very creamy. The omelet was a little overdone. The Korean beef had a nice flavor but meat was tough. read more

Basil & Cheese Cafe is one of the best cafes I've ever visited! We were looking for a breakfast spot while we were visiting Downtown LA, and came across this cute cafe. The interior is adorably decorated with Basil & Cheese art, and the staff was incredibly friendly! We ordered the Tiramisu Latte, Iced Cafe Nopali, Chorizo Breakfast Burrito, Avocado and Burrata Toast and a Chocolate Croissant. Everything came out so quickly; all the food had great presentation and tasted delicious! The Avocado and Burrata was honestly one of the best I've had, perfect amounts of each ingredient made every bite as good as the last. The croissant was also baked to perfection: flaky & full of chocolate. If you're looking for a cafe in DTLA, definitely check out Basil & Cheese! read more

Came this morning around 8:20, the cashier was really nice and I have no complaints about them. This is more so a message towards management, you need at least one more person in the morning. The girls have to deal with online orders, at least 10-15 that I saw and do the orders that come in. A couple had been there before I came in and yet they left with me after 30 min. Perhaps it's just a morning rush and so you find it acceptable to leave them understaffed for a bit but personally I don't enjoy having to wait 30 minutes for a bagel, this looks bad on management. I'm saying this as someone who works in the service industry. The food was really good, finished it in 5 minutes. read more

Basil & Cheese Cafe - Smoked turkey and everything bagel. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time here we got the pesto chicken sandwich, bacon egg bagel, and the matcha latte float. The pesto chicken was nice and toasted w/ side of crispy fries. Both sandwich and bagel were good. The matcha float was alright. Wish they added more of matcha powder on top of it. It's also not on their paper menu, but it was on their instagram page so you have to ask for it. The parkings are by the coin meters , or they have those paid $10 parking. Overall, I would come back for their sandwich read more

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in LA and their food menu remains unrivaled. Not only is everything is made fresh to order, but the owner and staff are warm, kind people. The brew is delicious, and the chorizo breakfast burrito with tater tots is insane. Fresh bagels and pastries too! If you're with friends or just riding solo for a book read or some work Basil and Cheese is the perfect place. read more

Basil & Cheese Cafe is a cute cafe located in DTLA. I stumbled upon it about an hour before their closing on a Thursday, and the shop was pretty empty. It has a cute interior with a few seats as well as some outdoor seating on the sidewalk as well. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering my questions about the menu offerings. I ordered the Harvest, which is their most popular drink. It's a latte with pumpkin and white chocolate, which I think would be a perfect fall drink. Overall, it was yummy. I came on a hot summer day and wasn't really feeling the drink's vibe, but I'm sure I would love it when it's sweater weather and pumpkin season. Their other drinks sound really delicious as well, so I do hope to come back to the Raspberry Matcha at some point. I also wanted to try some food, but by the time I came, the kitchen was already closed. They did have some already prepared items like sandwiches and baked goods. Unfortunately, I saw some fleas flying around in the pastry display (perhaps due to the hotter day?) and didn't feel particularly inclined to try anything. A drawback is there appears to only be metered street parking near the cafe. I managed to snag a parking spot right across the street, but it definitely is tricky finding parking. I believe they also have free Wi-Fi, so it could be an aesthetic study spot for sure. In general, I liked Basil & Cheese and could see myself realistically going back! read more

Holy icebox, Batman! My fingers are barely functioning as I type this sitting inside Basil & Cheese Cafe. I'm wearing a sweater and it's so cold inside, not cozy and inviting like I prefer in my coffee shops. I'm so sad because I wanted to love Basil & Cheese...but I won't be back. I arrived at the shop just after opening and it was quite busy. I felt bad for the person working having so much to handle on their own, so I sat and waited for awhile before ordering. Prior to 8am, it was just people grabbing and going though so cleared out pretty quickly. I ordered a cold brew and got hot coffee. I order a bagel breakfast sandwich and 30 minutes later, it hadn't come out but I saw others receiving their food. I went to the cashier and they were able to handle it quite quickly for me. But they messed up half my order and forgot the other half. Oy vey. The coffee was fine. The sandwich was fine, fresh ingredients. But it was just a disappointing experience. I did some remote work from the shop for a few hours and there Wifi was not strong enough for my VPN connection, so I had to use my hotspot to be online. That was a bit disappointing, as well. And the shop was so darn cold, not conducive to an enjoyable experience. I'm so sad because I swear I wanted to love them...but nahhhhhhh! read more

Great staff, pet friendly, and good matcha, delish brekkie burritos and coffees. I feel the burritos could have a bit more egg in it but it's fine. Only thing is Basil & Cheese is named after the owners doggies. I'd love to see a photograph of the owners (Basil & Cheese) somewhere in the cafe at some point lol ^_^ lol read more

I LOVEE this place!! It's super cute/aesthetic and the food/drinks are amazing. I got the Avocado & burrata Toast and Matcha Latte. The toast was huge and flavor combinations were excellent. The match also really hit the spot. Service was quick! If you want food, make sure to check their kitchen hours because I think it closes at 3 or 4 PM. read more

Very cute Cafe and I love that they have a lot of seed oil free options however they use a pre-mixed Matcha powder that has sweetener included so it is essentially impossible to get a Matcha sweetened with just honey or not sweetened at all read more

First time checking out Basil & Cheese Cafe for a quick brunch and it definitely did not disappoint. This place is pet-friendly so my dogs were able to sit indoors too! Ordered the provolone avocado spinach mushroom omelette (served with choice of bread) and an OJ. Omelette was a bit dry but it was still flavorful. It looked just as advertised on the picture menu. The 100% OJ was a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it - sweet, pulpy, and fresh. No complaints! Solid neighborhood cafe! read more

My daily go to spot for great coffee, great food, and a smiling face from Mingku and the staff! The space as well, is a great place to sit and enjoy your coffee or meal with your friends or family or by yourself. Favorite items for me on the menu are the ABC bagel, the Bulgogi Bowl (the sauce is to die for), the club sandwich, and the breakfast burrito (get extra salsa! It's sooo good). read more
